I think if you expect your database to use certain types, you write your code accordingly. Why would you ever want to insert a BLOB into an INTEGER column? Some kind of data validation/sanitizing is necessary anyway, the database engine being strict about it is just an additional layer of protection, but it shouldn't be one's first line of defense against mistakes. IMHO.
Personally, I still use FAANG and assume the N stands for N\icrosoft.

No shortage of fake scary stories whenever anyone suggests that there might be anything wrong with the vaccines, but discussing that possibility is a huge taboo, no matter how probable it may be. At this point even if they're massively flawed you'll be forbidden from suggesting that.
Criminalizing expected human behaviors is ineffective or harmful, and choosing particular people's behaviors for punishment to favor some group is not going to be well received. On that we can agree.

Sexwork/sex-addiction/illegal drug activity are not operating separately and are not without harms. Both are vices, both are subject to some degree of free personal choice, and both can harm families. Think of the children, once in a while, if you will, while pretending the ecstatic act that makes them.
This name is very, very similar to Directus. Probably needs to be changed.
The medical examiner classified it as natural and a causal relationship with the vaccine couldn't be determined. Normal healthy people die of sudden illnesses sometimes, and with millions upon millions of vaccinations then "sometimes" is occasionally going to be "shortly after getting vaccinated."

Without more evidence, those occurrences merely corelate in time, in which case going further than making it a mere foot note is a post hoc ergo propter hoc mistake.
I think it’s important to distinguish the comments from the submission. I agree the comments are mostly repetitive, but the submissions do, in fact, cover newsworthy facts that should not be dismissed.
Or maybe IQ is an arbitrary measure with no real meaning? Its greatest value seems to be insecure people using it to feel superior to others.
Man, this is was one of my favorite articles of all time. I’ve created a functional programming language for my startup thanks for this article. Obviously that there was many things that the article didn’t touch like how to mame tail call optmizations or like how to suuport dictionaries or lists but anyway. This was the quickstart for me for start making things.

I also recommend people reading this book: it is super complete and comprehensive to get started and get your hands dirty
https://monkeylang.org/

Another thing i recommend which is what i ended up doing: instead of interpreting stuff like

def visit_BinaryOperation(self, node):
if node.operation == “add”:
return node.right + node.left

I just simply add the values inside of an object and then add like

def visit_BinaryOperation(self, node):
if node.operation == “add”:
return node.right._add_(node.left)

This way i can handle for example what happens if we add a string with a string, or a int with a float INSIDE of the object of this value. So if node.right is an object of type String we handle in the _add_ method in the String class what happens if we add together objects of different types like for example an Int with a String.

But that’s it. It is an awesome recommendation

"Certainly it would be better to have an informed and well educated citizenry. "

Of course it would, but there's no way for people to 'stay informed' on the multitude of various things.

The system we live in is fundamentally based on legitimate authority. We have no reasonable way to try to debate with our doctors, dentists, lawyers, engineers. It's literally why they exist - to understand, internalize and work with the inherent truth in a system.

We trust them, that's the way it works.

So how does a system that is inherently grey, be 'wrong a lot of time' but 'right in others' in a manner that is consequential (i.e. vaccines, climate change).

That's a tough social problem.

If you can't see how you are hurting the project you apparently care about with your behavior after multiple people have called you out on it, I am sorry. There is no sense in discussing this further.
I am in favor of approach "if it is some BS it is all BS".

Because a lot of con artist use one or two scientific facts that are for real just to attach a wagon of horseshit to it.

You also probably don't need "super guru" checklists because becoming a genius is not checking off tasks. Just like reading Warren Buffet biography is not going to make you good investor.

Most of the common databases that I'm aware of (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server) do implicit type conversion on insertion (as well as in in many other places). I haven't checked this, but it wouldn't surprise me if that's actually ANSI SQL standard behavior.
What are you talking about now? The vaccine or the virus? Because that's literally true for both! And the mRNA vaccine has a fraction of the code compared to the full virus.

Sounds about right.
Just to provide a counterpoint, my career in what would reasonably be considered "tech" (I worked elsewhere in an engineering job for a few years) has mostly been three stints of about 10 years each. Not a developer but in adjacent areas. And have done fine. Maybe haven't optimized but that's OK.
Electrical systems are going to need to be upgraded for sure. At the current rate of warming, even without trying to be more environmentally friendly (so replacing gas with electric heating and electric cars), we'll probably see significantly increased air conditioning use, which may impact sizing of electrical systems as well.
If people are into anarchist fantasies, sure. I've also suggested that in the essay:

> There could be alternative scenarios that cryptocurrencies succeed without the United States. Central operators need to grow to be powerful transnational entities that have controlling shares in commodities and other life essentials globally, potentially have their own enforcement militias to maintain such hegemony. This scenario has been explored in other anarchist’s readings extensively since the 1980s (or earlier). The problem, of course, is that such a transition of power takes time.

Powerful authoritarian governments definitely can stop people from using Bitcoin. At least right now in China, it is difficult to do BTC / CNY pair (yes, there are black markets, but the depth is limited as any black markets). There are two ways: 1. damaging the network by deep packet inspections to avoid consensus from converging. China had many successes with GFW on this. 2. jail people who do P2P exchanges (usually with anti-money laundary cover) by claiming the CNY they end-up getting are tainted (from criminal activities). There are reports on this in mainland China already.

The request from the FBI in the San Bernardino case was to change a passcode limit constant and retry timeouts. Those are about as trivial to implement as any of the convoluted government coercion database attacks against CSAM detection being proposed here.
Their use of a highly vulnerable[1] "neural" perceptual hash function makes the database unauditable: An abusive state actor could obtain child porn images and invisibly alter them to match the hashes of the ideological or ethnically related images they really want to match. If challenged, they could produce child porn images matching their database, and they could had these images to other governments to unknowingly or plausibly denyably include.

...but they don't have to do anything that elaborate because Apple is using powerful cryptography against their users to protect themselves and their data sources from any accountability for the content of the database: The hashes in the database are hidden from everyone who isn't Apple or a state agent. There is no opportunity to learn, much less challenge the content of the database.

Yeah, I watched the series a few years ago, and it's still an example of the same problem.

The videos give you a good vibe for what a NN network does, but they still stop at "if you can get the gradients using math wizardry, then you can train your network and do tons of cool stuff!"

Meanwhile, if I had to write a neural network trainer from the ground up (even a very slow CPU one), I have no idea how I'd do it.

Like, I get it! A neural network is a bunch of vector<float>! You change the weights in a way that is similar to finding the low point of a slope! Yes, every damn ML video uses the same metaphors! My question is, how do I actually change the values of the goddamn floats?!

I dunno. Maybe I need to watch the videos again and something will click.

EDIT: Okay, so the last video in that series is way closer to what I was looking for.
Brisbane Australia here. We have at least one venue in the city that is a pub dedicated to original gaming - and it is a very popular place. You can go in, choose from about 40 different craft drinks on top, order some excellent food, and play any of:

- About 20 pinball machines

- Original arcade games like Tron, Space Invaders, Galaga, Simpsons 4 player, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat.

- NES, SEGA Megadrive, SNES, N64 Goldeneye

Almost all those games are running on CRT TVs as well, and the arcade games are in their original cabinets as much as possible. When you go to the bar you can buy a bag of 20 $1 coins and each pinball and arcade game is $1. Consoles are free. Great atmosphere and great concept. People are friendly and its not uncommon to have a small crowd watching and shouting at goldeneye on the small TV in the corner as players get killed.
Same, I think as long as you are strict with types in your business logic and test units, SQLite loose typing is not an issue.
Banks as well as people cannot take the uncertain fully into account. Without the government taking steps in 2020 there would have been massive foreclosures.

I’m aware about it in theory, but I think for people already in us on a work visa it’s a chicken and egg problem between starting and getting the o1. I can’t start anything as I can only work for my employer, and I can’t get an o1 because I can’t start anything. Looks like the founders are not interested in answering this one.

Apple doesn't have a history of complying with every request from governments and police. They care more about their bottom line IMHO. So I was surprised by this "feature". I don't see how it sells more phones for them. Actually it could scare away some customers because of false positives. Everybody with small kids risks a match on some of their children pictures.

If Android also implements something like that I could end up with a Linux phone as my main phone and an Android one at home for the 2FA of banks and other mandatory apps. No WhatsApp but I'll manage.
That I don't need to stare at a small, bright, distracting screen when I'm there to relax and enjoy time with friends. Add to that that most restaurants have terrible accessibility in these digital menus, like PDFs with tiny fonts, poor zooming capabilities, etc. Paper menus don't waste my data and battery. They are also inherintly private and don't communicate my personal data to others.
EFF would probably argue that technologies like safe browsing are also a shift away from E2E encryption. They were strongly against email spam protection in the 90s for this reason.
We used to use Unfuddle for source control and issues/PM then went to self hosted TFS but kept issues and pm in Unfuddle. Then we decided that was working so well for Dev, everyone should use it. But people didn't like Unfuddle. So now we have Asana. Everyone but Dev likes it, there's no ticket numbers, and it's confusing but at least the stakeholders are using it?

I'm always shocked to find major projects that use parser generators. A hand-written recursive descent parser is easier to write, read, understand, and modify. It's almost trivial to translate a language specification's grammar productions into a recursive descent parser.

So looking at the list I'm dumbfounded that CPython and Ruby use generators.
That's not what happens when the disease gets out of control.

The latest episode of The Daily podcast [0] from The New York Times said that Apple executives were told by members of Congress at a hearing that if they didn't do something about CSAM on their platform the federal government would force them through legislation. And it's not a completely idle threat; just look at the proposed EARN-IT Act of 2020 [1], which would pretty much outlaw end-to-end encrypted services without a law enforcement backdoor.

It's not gatekeeping. CSS and HTML aren't programming languages, and that's okay. Since no one is going to hire someone who only knows CSS and HTML, it's a moot point anyway.
You’d have to not only have over 30 hash collisions, but also have it collide with another secret hash function, and then also have a human look at it and agree it’s CP.

So what’s the actual realistic issue here? This keeps getting thrown around as if it’s likely, yet not only are there numerous steps against this in the Apple chain, this would already be a huge issue with Dropbox, Facebook, Microsoft, Google, etc who do CP scanning according to all of the comments on HN.

All of the following are severely unappreciated:

- Needless texts.

- Endless text/chat chains. (A call would be better.)

- Interminable phone conversations. I'm not referring to talking to a friend, I'm referring to transactional calls where the transaction fails to occur.

- Endless email chains. As with texts. At least the increment size is larger. Again: fish or cut bait. Interactive discussion should be interactive.

- Anything unsolicited.

As I've said to a sibling comment, I don't think it's a bad title, and "an opinionated guide to X" is one of the better cliché for titles that I see (the worst being the journalist that feels like they have to make a joke).
If Apple is performing the searching of user private data due to pressure or incentive from the government it would make apple an agent of the government from the perspective of the fourth amendment. As such, these warrantless searches would be unlawful.

If what you suggest were true, we should be even more angry with Apple: it would mean that rather than just lawfully invading their users privacy, that they were a participant in a conspiracy to violate the constitutional rights of hundreds of millions of Americans.

I suppose I probably should at least just start some interviews and then decline at the point that they start leetcoding-proper (even if that's during the actual interview itself).

DS& (common) A isn't a problem at its core (as least as far as I am concerned - I'm comfortable that I am able to pick the right one given the scenario, describe why, etc.), but where it becomes a problem for me is when I'm inevitably asked to reproduce some esoteric (for example) binary tree or graph algorithm on the spot, in 30 minutes, with no errors.

It costs no time. It's the first thing anybody does when building any cluster. It's part of accepting the materials from your suppliers to check that they didn't sell you shit.
I agree with this. To anyone reading: please don't write off rg3d due to the behavior of a single person. rg3d is a super solid engine, they are ahead of us in a number of areas, and mrDIMAS (rg3d's lead) has never been anything but perfectly professional in their interactions with us. We've even discussed ways to collaborate a few times over the last year. There are good reasons to choose Bevy over rg3d (and the reverse is also definitely true). But I won't be discussing that here I'd rather not hijack this thread when the focus should be on the cool new things that mrDIMAS and the other contributors have built for rg3d 0.22. Congrats on another fantastic release!
