It’s an old term for /dev/null et al. (The New Hacker’s Dictionary has a comic featuring a literal one in the background of the water-powered computer: http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/B/bit-bucket.html)

I assume this is where the company got their name from; I remember thinking when I encountered them that it was a bit strange to name your company after something that implied unreliability and lost data.

I appreciate you sugar-coating it since I live there, but it's a bit worse than that. I live in Jacksonville. Of my friends, family and other connections there are just a few buckets people fall into: the informed, the purposefully-ignorant, and the idiots. Sadly, we've learned through the last year or so that many of our friends are actually idiots. That's been tough.
One of the reasons this probably hasn't already happened is because bash specially handles those so they work already. From the man page for bash:

Bash handles several filenames specially when they are used in redirections, as described in the following table:

/dev/fd/fd
If fd is a valid integer, file descriptor fd is duplicated.
/dev/stdin
File descriptor 0 is duplicated.
/dev/stdout
File descriptor 1 is duplicated.
/dev/stderr
File descriptor 2 is duplicated.
/dev/tcp/host/port
If host is a valid hostname or Internet address, and port is an integer port number or service name, bash attempts to open
a TCP connection to the corresponding socket.
/dev/udp/host/port
If host is a valid hostname or Internet address, and port is an integer port number or service name, bash attempts to open
a UDP connection to the corresponding socket.

Edit: Not to imply it's not a good idea. I think it is, so much so that the only reason it wasn't done long ago is because often a "good enough for most people" solution can sap the need for a different solution which has other benefits.
I like raw honey, but I don't think it does much for allergies. However, I can tell you that bee pollen does do something. If you try pollen you have to start very early in the season (like Feb-Mar early) with 1 grain and then increasing the count from there.

Whether honey or bee pollen, if being used for allergies, you should be using product from your local area, not imported from far away and especially not another country with completely different flora.

I’m not sure you’re aware but Volvo patented the three-point seatbelt in use even to this day and gave the R&D and licence for the patent to their competitors because it was for the greater good. An interesting aside :)

I think that "knows" is anthropomorphizing too much--you're giving hints that cause the model to use a more secure subset of its training data. =)
Hello gents! I have a burning question for you - what do you think about the idea of building a small airship that can be lived and traveled in? Sort of like a tiny house or vanlife, but in the air.

It's something I've always thought about since reading about it in science fiction books. What would the cost of something like that be?
props to whoever made that page. at times, I feel massive second hand guilt and shame by being associated through profession by those who make the crappy web experience we go through daily.
one major benefit, is I seek books more now and relevant documentation or papers. I also like forums. and tend to try avoid sites with images. we as in industry should pushback on these practices so we can gain the trust of people utilizing stuff we build.
Especially in this article, the explanation of the proposed breakthrough was pretty clear:

You consider South Korea a success? They have been separated from the other half of the country for 70 years now. I wouldn't consider South Korea as an example of success. Remove the money that the US has pushed to South Korea and I'm not sure they'd get the same results.

As for Japan, I remind you that they still have an emperor for example and they were a super power during WWII definitely not comparable to Afghanistan, Cuba or Vietnam

> And that low-information users are the ones who will flock to a tool like this.

Developers are notoriously not low-information users. As someone else pointed out:

> If you have devs who don't know how to write secure code, and/or you don't have security engineering support (internal or outsourced), you were already failing (or probably more apropos, walking the tight rope without a net).

So devs with limited security experience are going to continue to developer code that doesn't conform to security standards. CoPilot neither makes this better nor makes it worse. In fact, that's exactly the problem AI - it simply mimics real humans. (see -> Amazon's attempts at using AI for hiring and the resulting bias)

CoPilot is for the people who google StackOverflow answers without having to search on StackOverflow.
> That's why I don't really understand why there are still covid restrictions in countries that are close to full vaccination, like the UK.

Until the number needed for herd immunity is achieved, the 30% (or whatever) of your population that is not vaccinated can suffer devastating spikes in cases. Mostly having herd immunity is not a thing.
I worked at Target on both projects using Haskell and projects using a "standard" tech stack, and we found recruiting Haskell developers a lot easier than other languages. People actively want to work in Haskell!

Using a less common language helps you and your role stand out from the thousands of alternatives top candidates have, showing rather than telling that you're willing to do something different and interesting. Only real caveat is that you need to be willing to either hire people remotely or in larger cities.

If I were to do a startup, I'd use Haskell 50% because I know it really well and 50% because it's a straight-up secret weapon for hiring.

It's possible I'm brain damaged, though I've never been diagnosed as such. And of course it's possible I'm lacking introspection. I've spent years honing introspective skills via meditation, but of course if I have blind spots, I wouldn't know about them.

My conscious lived is experience has always been one in which I have no inner voice. No words, in fact. It's totally silent in my head. (It's not still. I have racing thoughts. But they're non-verbal. They seem to be in some sort of "mentalese.") I neither see words nor hear them. And it's impossible for me to imagine what my voice sounds like unless I actually hear myself speak.

I also can't imagine what my wife or friends sound like. My father died a few years ago, and I now can't imagine his voice. I never could unless I heard it. And now that's impossible.

While I know the ideas I want to express, I have no clue what words I'll use to express them until I hear them come out of my mouth or see them on a page or screen. When I type, it seems like my fingers are making up the words. Obviously, that's not what's happening, but I have no sense at all that my mind chose the words.

I also have never felt authorship of anything I've written, even though I'm a published author. I have no sense at all that I've written this paragraph. It's my ideas--it's what I wanted to say--but it's as if someone else chose the words.

I suspect that for everyone, there's a process that goes something like this: mentalese --> coming up with words --> expressing words via speech or writing.

Some folks have no conscious access to the first step. For them, it's entirely unconscious. (mentalese) --> coming up with words --> speaking or writing.

In my case, for some reason I seem to have no conscious access to the choosing-words part. It must happen, of course, but it seems to be hidden from my conscious mind: mentalese --> (coming up with words) --> speaking or writing.

Until fairly recently I thought everyone was like me. When people talked about seeing or hearing words in their heads (or their "inner voice"), I thought they meant it metaphorically. It's still amazing to me that people can imagine or "hear" voices in their heads. So I have the same impulse as you, except in reverse: Come on! An inner voice? I'm skeptical. (Intellectually, I'm not, anymore. But I still feel the pang of skepticism, because it's so alien to me.)

I'm happy to see you mention Trek. I've started shopping for a bike and there happens to be a Trek bike store in my city. I've never even heard of them until I looked up bike shops on google maps and Trek showed up. The fact that you mention them gives me more confidence that they're someone worth buying from.

The real problem is not journals endorsing presidential candidates, it’s the other way around. It’s the political class funding various think tanks and institutions to steer research the way they want to influence public opinion (which has been done for more than a century). And let’s not forget that the majority of the scientific advancements we had in the 20th century were made by military research!

And if you look at historically famous scientists of the past 400 years, many of them had interest in politics and were quite politically active. That doesn’t prevent them from doing objectively good research, but it definitely guides what kind of research they are doing.

Interesting idea - depends on how you look at performance, right? There’s engineering overhead of setting up a MAB and it likely requires the skill set of a data scientist or ML engineer to interpret - a scarce resource in practice. Making it a less ideal approach for most bootstrapped teams.

From the accuracy point of view - With the MAB approach, you’d still be at risk of ignoring changes over time (or at least being slower to catch changes because of the historical bias) - meaning MAB may not be best suited for understanding the impact over longer periods of time like this approach would.
This might be specific to very old cities, but New York City has a combined sewage and storm water system. Sewage ("black water") and rainwater from the streets goes through the same output processing. When it rains a lot, the system can't cope, and the water (sewage and all) is discharged into the Atlantic.
Essentially given a big graph, sparql finds all the subgraphs that match the given constraints and project the captured variables into a table for every subgraph matched. (Or at least that's how i think about it, not sure if that's officially what it does)

The property path syntax ( https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-query/#propertypaths ) does look a lot like regex syntax, and the general triple pattern construct does kind of feel a bit DFA-ish.

This is a much more accurate reflection of how the military handles empathy. Empathy is in no means antithetical to professionalism.

If anything, empathy is a key trait for effective leadership because it engenders trust between leaders and subordinates. Soldiers are neither robots nor imperial stormtroopers. We don't shun basic expressions of humanity for the sake of it, and certainly not as a general rule.

Did your CS degree cover algorithms and data structures? Did you learn Big O?
It’s really about approximating the experience as a why to a decision. Usually I try to think through questions and talk out their benefits and things start to get more “obvious” to me as I go.

Admittedly, I don’t struggle near as much in system / software design questions, it’s my “niche” (tldr thinking in systems changed my life as a teen) but data structures and algorithms still kill me, in much the same way. I have the correct intuition but can’t for the life of me correctly describe it in Big O notation and I sometimes “freeze” on questions because it’s not something I do every day and I can just well…look things up sometimes, or work through a problem iteratively until I have a solution

I set up a special account on my Mac, found one other coworker who's used and likes Emacs (but doesn't main it at work), and did a little experiment involving us both logging into the account and using emacsclient to connect to a running Emacs instance.

It worked rather well. Bit of setup hassle and it's stinking insecure, but not too bad on those fronts even compared to the VSCode solution.

But Emacs lost. All the developer effort is behind VSCode and the IDEs now. So if you want a robust, supported solution for this kind of thing, you have to leave Emacs behind.

There are over three thousand known species of mosquito. And only just a few of them specialized in biting humans. From the planet's point of view, none of us (including our children) are that important or even special.
Eradicating all mosquitos would have much bigger consequences for the planet and perhaps would be worse than the sudden disappearance of 90% of all humans.

> I'm just wondering if I'm being lazy by not trying hard enough or efficient. It's definitely not for lack of curiosity, but I also don't like to fool myself into thinking I understand something that I don't.

I don't think you're lazy or not trying hard enough. The truth is just that… it's a hard and long road. Even more so when you're studying by yourself.

I took about the straightest path you can take to learning Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity (and all the math you need for it), attending classes and sitting down on my butt every day for 3 to 4 semesters. There are ways to shorten it but I'm not sure how rewarding that would be.

It also depends on what you mean by "understanding". If you really want to understand things at the deepest level possible, there's no way around a university-level education. I'm saying "university-level", not "university", because one could certainly learn these things on one's own. But to be honest with you I think chances of pulling this off are very small, mostly because physics outsiders don't have access to the same resources or social networks as enrolled students, which makes studying even more frustrating.

Anyway, FWIW here's a roadmap for learning General Relativity at the deepest-possible level along with the minimum timeframe needed (IMO) and the most important topics / keywords you really need to understand well:

Linear Algebra (1-2 semesters): vector spaces, linear maps, dual maps, matrices, symmetric bilinear forms – These things lay the foundation for pretty much anything in math and are needed to understand differentiation in several variables (see below) as well as pretty much anything in Differential Geometry and Relativity.

Real Analysis (1-2 semesters): Mostly differentiation of functions of one to several variables + a bit of integration theory – needed for pretty much anything in Differential Geometry and Relativity (especially coordinate changes and manifolds) but also in mechanics.

Differential Geometry aka (Semi-)Riemannian Geometry (1 semester): manifolds, tensors, metric, connections, geodesics, curvature – These concepts are at the heart of General Relativity

Mechanics (1-2 semesters): Newtonian Mechanics, Lagrangian Mechanics, Special Relativity (all with a focus on both theoretical and experimental physics) – without these there's no hope of understanding (or appreciating) the physics content of GR

General Relativity (1 semester)

(Side note: Don't let anyone tell you that you don't really need Differential Geometry and all the other math to understand Relativity. They're lying and probably don't really understand Relativity, either.)

For quantum mechanics it's a bit shorter because the math is not as involved (at least to understand the basic concepts:

Linear Algebra: (1-2 semesters): (finite-dimensional) vector spaces, linear maps, dual maps, matrices, symmetric bilinear forms – No way around this. 99% of quantum mechanics is encoding fuzzy concepts in linear algebra.

Mechanics (1 semester): Newtonian Mechanics, Lagrangian Mechanics

Quantum Mechanics

Bonus: Hilbert space theory, basics in functional analysis
