Hmmm, unsourced claims by an anonymous user on Reddit. What's not to like.

So many problems with that assertion...

You've got very low expectations if you count those as "good" services - trying to travel with one small child would be challenging, two is likely to be stressful, even before the issues of getting from the station to the destination for one, let alone a family...

Pretty narrow thinking of a liberal arts degree.

> Google can also cancel your account at any time for any reason whatsoever [...] Using the same logic, you should not use Gmail then.

Actually, under that logic it's only that you shouldn't use the @gmail.com domain; it should be fine to use Gmail with your own domain, since that allows you to recover if your Google account is canceled (just change the MX to another email provider).

Another thing you can do is to never use your Google account for anything other than email; that should reduce the chances of the account being canceled for no obvious reason. For instance, it's been reported that, if you used your Google account for Youtube, and Google decided your real name was not your real name (which it wanted due to the Google Plus integration with Youtube), your whole Google account could be canceled; that risk could be avoided by just never logging into Youtube with your Google account.

I have researched way more than 45 seconds. In fact I've invested in a company that buys large ships for the purpose of making money off of them. So you see, your obvious statement that buying a boat leads to loss of money goes counter to my experience.

> Regardless my post was half humor and half truth and you asking for a break down is baffling to me.

I figured it might just be bar talk, without a strong basis. Given that I don't have direct experience with plenty of boat types myself, I thought I'd open a door for some explanation.

I think I could easily pull all my data out. Files are, well, files; contacts and calendars can be exported in standard formats; photos are stored as JPEG or raw; music is MPEG-4; e-books are epubs; whatever.

Sure, I'll lose some features, but that's because other platforms don't offer those features, not because Apple is heinously putting extra effort into locking up my data.

I have tried to keep an open mind on this topic, or rather developing one, but alas I remain a zealot.

I recently wanted to make a simple enough PR to a large JavaScript codebase to fix a bug. After a few hours I found where the call was happening and what changes I needed to make.

At a simple level the code update was "measure the length of each of these things and store them, for each of the stored things align them relative to the longest length of stored items and add them to the state".

It took about 3 times longer to get to working code because of the lack of types. "Oh, you've used `i` in some context, you must just mean a global of indeterminate type, better keep running. Oh you forgot whether the method name on type of string is SubString or Substring? Sorry can't help you, don't know what a string is. You don't know/remember what you can do with this variable? Neither do I!" Sure you can have linters or whatever to catch these stupid mistakes but I'd rather just have the bloody thing work first time.

I'd rather have my tools assist me than feel like an alpha-chad because I've managed to memorise the entire API of something. I have more useful things to keep in my brain. Sure it might let you go quickly in your 50 line script but woe-betide any developer who comes later.
I see this recommended a lot. Nonetheless I hated these books. The opening of the first book is excellent, it set up a decent exciting mystery, but about halfway through it dissolved into paper thin borderline fantasy-physics. The characterizations also declined sharply.

I don't dispute that he can be an asshole.

He is not some business man adding no value. Take a look at the new booster that was rolled out yesterday, humans are going to the friggin moon again and then Mars. Tesla has single handedly made electric cars cool and started the process of getting out of combustion engines. He launched a $100m x prize for carbon capture. He is actually getting shit done and is not some politician. Yes, he is a businessman. To achieve his goals he needs to do that or become a super villain and take over the resources of a good chunk of the world.

Great example of a clickbait headline right there. No love lost for the CCP from my side, but making stuff up is stupid. The guy burned bridges with his doctoral advisor, left the uni, went to China to study in a Chinese university and posted a racist cartoon about Chinese people. Then after they expelled him (figures) he tried to force his way back into the previous one. None of this is the least bit controversial.
I find it somewhat surprising that people are still defending that loser.

> If the pandemic has taught us anything it is that even though we are able to recognize how essential a lot of jobs are, we will still refuse to respect or properly compensate the people who work them.

Maybe for some types of frontline workers, but certainly not for skilled tradesman, who are making bank right now and have for at least the past 20 years since I've lived in my current city. And in terms of "refuse to respect", honestly I think it's the opposite: supply has been so high for skilled tradesmen in my area that it is customers who have consistently been disrespected. I can't tell you the number of times I've hired a plumber, AC guy or other worker, confirmed a time, and then that person just doesn't show up, or at best you get a call 15 minutes before saying they're canceling. It always baffled me how these businesses could give such poor service (I mean, a lot of this type of work is referral based), but it's because demand is just so high they can do that.

Of course it's not everyone, and once I found a good, reliable plumber I hung on for dear life, but the lesson I've learned is that workers follow same incentives of supply and demand as employers do.
There is likely a substantial part of that cohort that would like to change that to make racist speech be explicity illegal.

The model doesn't even output the data in the correct format, rgbdit (depth, infrared, time).

So his statement is entirely correct. This model has absolutely no chance of fooling the current most popular facial detection system.

It creates a key that doesn't even fit in the lock, much less have the correct pin heights.

If your point is that this approach and architecture might contribute to a model that can beat FaceID, that's entirely valid to say as well.
From what I understood from these discussions, that is not an issue with Facebook and Google logins because they reveal the true user email address, so even if they no longer exist one day, that email address could be used to recover the user accounts (using a password recovery flow through email); while Apple SSO does not reveal the true user email address, only a proxy through Apple's systems, so if it no longer exists one day, there's no way to use the email address to recover the user accounts.

Here's also a statement by the HSG regarding the article in the NZZ: https://www.unisg.ch/de/wissen/newsroom/aktuell/rssnews/camp...

According to the statement, the student tried "to force his re-acceptance to the phd-program with legal and political means".

To be honest, I'm not quite sure what to make out of the whole situation (as a Swiss, originally from the area of St. Gallen, where the school is).

I would be heavily surprised if the HSG would let itself pressure to the effects that the headline of the article insinuates. The school has a bit of a reputation in engineering circles as "useless MBA graduates factory", but being beholden to Chinese interests? That seems quite the stretch to me.

This changed my understanding of computer science and our product virtually overnight. We are using a hybrid model of Functional Relational Programming (see section 9 in the paper). This is in production right now and its clearly the right answer for managing complexity in our product.

If you think "eww i have to learn some FRP language" - No. You just need to tack SQLite onto whatever preferred language you use today and model all your business logic as SQL queries over properly-normalized tables. If you can achieve this with 6NF, you have an infinitely-extensible domain model. If you don't know where to start, 3NF is the safest place. Most humans tend to think in terms of 3NF when referring to the business entities.

My computer-related RSI prevention tips:

Get separate mouse and keyboard wrist rests.

Use a vertical mouse instead of a traditional one.

Use more than one type of mousing device and switch up from time to time. Graphic tablets with digital pens take some getting used to but are excellent.

Look up RSI forearm stretches and take breaks to stretch your arms and hands for a few moments at least every few hours. I'm also a big fan of gyro ball exercisers.

Get an ergonomic chair with movable arm rests that can keep your arms at around the same height as the desk your working at.

Based on the original article, it is pretty much exactly like that. The newspaper talked to both sides and clearly believes the student over the professor. It seems everything else are excuses by the Prof and the university (which has plenty of cooperations with China).

Now, if the student was technically enrolled at the University or the prof was "only" his PhD advisor, does not change anything about the story.

If there are types that allow you to not care about the type, then why have a type?

The type represents a set of properties about the inhabiting values so if you have an opaque value you don't want others to inspect, wrapping it in such a type makes that explicit throughout the rest of the program. That information is not available if every value in your type has the same type. Presumably though you will actually attempt to do something with the contained value at some point so you must have some expectation about what it is.

>The fallacy here is the equivalence of economic goods to material goods. Many economic goods are not material.

It's not a fallacy as long as economic activity is a proxy for human activity, because humans consume to survive. In your sheet metal example, while it's the same physical aluminum throughout the process, you've hired a team of people (and expended a huge amount of energy, incidentally). Each of those people will take that money and spend it on food, electricity, clothes, and luxuries. All economic activity ultimately boils down to that.
