Whether it's not hiring because now they need to be vaccinated, or firing because they refuse to be vaccinated, I think this is all understandable in the face of a global pandemic. Situations change and we too, must adapt.

My mum was able to find a job many decades back with no knowledge of how to use Microsoft. With time, and as the company grew with it, of course staff need to be more proficient with IT and tech. They then offered upgrading skills/courses for current employees, and made this a requirement for their new hires. Supposing the employees didn't want to take the upgrading courses, can they really complain if they are then fired for not having the right skills to do their job? I should think no.
Wow i have never heard of that. Curious to see a link/article on the issue, if you can provide.
No problem, just start typing code like it and let Github Copilot handle the rest
USB-C does indeed make it possible, but I may not have the same kit and use-cases as you. ^_^

Shall edit my original post to clarify.
It would probably focus on measuring the degree to which individuals differ, assigning explanatory variables, and figuring out the theoretical maximum (as brain chemistry sets a pretty hard limit). But that doesn't really matter, because we know that people can very easily be generalized - there is an entire industry devoted to it: advertising. Many years ago I had to design a process to pre-stage inventory based on expected demand - using historical data from a fairly inelastic customer base. It was spooky how accurately a Poisson distribution could predict long tailed events - but only after segmenting the customer base into something like 5 groups. This was for millions of people - 5 groups.
Everything is a cost/benefit tradeoff. We devote more resources to securing your bank account against fraud because we (as a society) think that it’s worth spending the money — on the theory that recovering your money after it’s stolen is very hard and because we think it’s acceptable to cause legitimate transactions to undergo some inconvenience. We devote fewer resources to verifying every social sciences experiment because society doesn’t want to spend the money to reduce a presumably already-low fraud rate and because the worst case outcome is usually articles like this one. And yet despite these decisions, white collar financial fraud occurs all the time and plenty of lawyers stretch their profession to (or beyond) the ethical breaking point — with devastating impacts on real people.
No, I mean they are on the verge of civil and economic collapse.

That depends on what you need the hydrogen for. If you want to burn it in a turbine or use it in a fuel cell then yes, using natural gas directly is more efficient. OTOH, using hydrogen as a feedstock for chemical processes often can't be replaced directly with natural gas.

This is simply not true. I have to assume you know that.
Looking at figures from two years ago, the US government was spending about $3600 per head and the UK government about $3000 per head. For the latter money everybody in the UK got free healthcare.
> Docker monoculture

I'm not sure how docker is a monocultur?

I mean when people speak about docker what they mean is often Linux containers used in a certain way.

But wrt. to the implementation of using such containers there are by now multiple competing implementations, on different abstraction levels (e.g. podman as a docker CLi replacement). To me it looks like docker specifically is currently quietly and (very) slowly replaced/superseded by this alternatives.

Then wrt. docker images there is also not a mono-culture, through it can't be denied that a lot of images are based on just a small handful of base images (Does anyone have any statistics about it?),
either way that "small handful" are still enough images to say it's not a monopoly nor very close to it.

I guess the place closest enough to a monopoly is the Docker Hub? But that's easy to replace if necessary.
America is rich for many more reasons than Bretton Woods. For most of the 20th century it had by far the greatest real productive and manufacturing base of any country in the world. The USA has been visibly declining for about 45 years sure, and is no longer the world leader in manufacturing, but it still has a huge and well-diversified economy. Since dollars represent, among other things, claims on a share of that economic output, demand for them is quite real and not just an historical artifact.

And since no other country with a huge diversified economy is willing to run external deficits large enough to meet foreign demand for reserves, the dollar is pretty much the only good choice. There just isn’t enough gold to clear trade in a $80+ trillion global economy.

My opinion:

Use what you know - it doesn't matter. PhD students often end up procrastinating by searching for the right productivity tools or trying to over-organise their "workflow".

Focus on the research question, use whatever software you already use for writing, and use whatever software you already use for back-ups. Back-ups are important - but you don't need to use some fancy solution, just something that works.

If you have to use LaTeX (if you are comfortable with it, then I advise that you do) then use Overleaf - only because it lets you get up and running instantly and work from anywhere with a browser.

Get used to writing and not aiming for perfection. Writing drafts can be tough if you feel that each paragraph you write has to be perfect or "good enough" before moving onto the next. You could end up spending a whole day writing a single or couple of paragraphs.
I would like to see something like biodiesel electric hybrid. It can reuse infrastructure and could use solar to offset fuel consumption.
The problem is intractable in no small part because most people are unwilling to acknowledge where the vast bulk of the money is going—-healthcare workers. They keep on looking for bad guys like insurance or drug company executives. There are some of these, and they do make a lot of money, but in the face of nearly $4 trillion in spending they don’t move the needle. The one million doctors do. The 3.8 million nurses do.
Contest that with your insurance company - they should be free...
We Weren’t Happy Before the Pandemic, Either
This has been so true to me. At the beginning of the pandemic I started keto. The first six months the weight fell off then I just hit a wall right around the time I began exercising (a full season of skiing) and weight lifting. For the last month I've been combining keto with IF and I'm getting a tiny bit of headway. My body just seems to be fighting VERY hard to resist my best efforts. And while I'm not checking to see if my body is in ketosis, my diet is significantly more strict compared to when I started keto 1.5 yr ago. I keep doing keto (despite the plateau) because it has helped me in many other ways (sleep, asthma, chronic fatigue, mental health etc.) For reference I am 51 yo.
I started reading "Amazon Unbound" by Brad Stone, and in the part where he discusses the development of Alexa, my laymen self had never considered how difficult it would be to train that thing. I think the term was "far-field" speech recognition, and all the problems that come up when adding in real world variables. People talking from across the room while others are talking, or the TV is going, or as you said, reflections and other materials in the room.

I agree that it is disturbing they tried to use this as evidence.
What pain point of Python as an education language is Pyret trying to address? Union type might be vaguely useful, although some of these use cases can be modelled as inheritance or typed enums.
Agreed. Looking at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_g... only 2 of the top 10 (GTA V and PUBG) have what I would call a realistic aesthetic. Even looking at the entire list, games with a more stylized look are far more prevalent.

The number one thing killing me about auto-generated API documentation is when an API takes a "string" that is really an enum and the generated documentation doesn't list out the enum values. Your only recourse is to read the code if it's open source and available in some obvious place, or hope there's a GUI alternative to the API with a pick list, select every option on the list, and intercept the internal API call it makes to get the string representation of each allowed value.

I agree that everyone should get vaccinated and wear masks, it’s common sense.

That said, I’m always skeptical about “temporary” measures when it comes to government (ex. US Patriot Act).
> I can't attend school (public or private) without DTaP, Polio, and MMR vaccines, making it a de facto requirement of life.

> These are all restrictions on personal liberty that we accept up as part of the social contract

Historically it had been trivially easy to fill out a form and go to public school without vaccines everywhere I've lived.

The purpose of the form is to know who to send home from school if there is a break out of a disease that is relevant to those who choose not to vaccinate. A very accommodating position.

This policy is now potentially being changed to hard requirements with no escape valve for good or ill. It is factually incorrect to say it had always been this way. This is a material change to policy, fights in legislatures about vaccine mandates have been brewing for at least two decades that I have seen. You can expect a lot of lawsuits and legislative battles along these lines as well.

I had an MRI a little while ago. Then I ended up having to go in for minor brain surgery, and then a checkup with some high-precision head X-rays later.

I paid... about $100 for the hospital bed and food while recovering for two days, and about $15 for the taxi they arranged to take me home. Another $10 or so for some painkillers for the headache while recovering at home.

Learn both. There's nothing particularly difficult about either. They have a lot of documentation, books, open source projects to learn idioms from. Rust obviously will take longer with more language features.

I also think your alternative option is outdated. There was a fad 5-10 years ago in the .NET / C# community around DDD and to a lesser extend CQRS. You read the DDD book, took bits you could use, and attempted to build better. It wasn't a silver bullet, and took tremendous teaching / culture change to get implemented. I personally never found it worthwhile in the spaces I worked in. I feel the industry has moved on, even now, let alone the future.

My advice is to be less timid around technologies. Get better at learning. Get better at the fundamentals. An immutable ledger that separates read from write is useful in a lot of distributed systems, not only as an application design pattern. An intentional common language that all refer to is a great process / culture change to improve communication. Does it have to be mapped identically in code? It depends.

It's interesting to note that WSL uses 9p to mount the filesystem on Windows. Had MSFT taken a more FOSS-friendly approach, we could've had a burgeoning FUSE ecosystem built around 9p.
I was excited that Pyret, which I was previously familiar with as a Racket #lang, had evidently gained enough independence to warrant its own website that does not even mention Racket. What a vindication of the #lang system! Then I read this:

"Ultimately, Racket’s #lang facilities, though designed to create new languages—and a great prototyping ground for Pyret—proved to not be quite enough to support a language creation process of the scale of Pyret"

I find this rather sad. The PLT group, dogfooding their flagship product's unique selling point, was not able to achieve their goals and switched to Javascript. I hope that one day it may once again be a Racket #lang.
That isn’t a proof of concept. The system is designed to handle even intentional hash collisions.

Here is the relevant paragraph from Apple’s documentation:

“as an additional safeguard, the visual derivatives themselves are matched to the known CSAM database by a second, independent perceptual hash. This independent hash is chosen to reject the unlikely possi- bility that the match threshold was exceeded due to non-CSAM images that were ad- versarially perturbed to cause false NeuralHash matches against the on-device en- crypted CSAM database. If the CSAM finding is confirmed by this independent hash, the visual derivatives are provided to Apple human reviewers for final confirmation.”

Developers are often uninterested in data pipelines with the exception of high scale, high throughput, business critical data pipelines e.g. Analytics product offerings, backend work, ML and other activities.

Standard BI suffers from incoherent requirements and often lacking an internal customer. It's in some ways a good problem to have 100 different independent reports in case you decide to shut 50-80 of them off one day.
This is a decent summary of court cases related to the dogs: https://www.nlrg.com/criminal-law-legal-research/bid/84670/C...

I think this part is pretty key, and has always been a big open question in my mind:

"The court further recognized a potential problem in assessing reliability related to handler cuing, as even well-trained dogs could respond to subconscious cues from their handlers. For this reason, the court determined that a critical factor in determining reliability is the record of false positive alerts made by the dog."

The subconscious cues, or even deliberate cues that only the handler and dog know, could allow an officer with ill intentions to make some kind of signal only known to him and the dog, which causes the dog to make an "alert", giving the cop probable cause.

The minor details around the scams change over time, but people are still falling for the exact same frauds today as they did a hundred years ago.

Instead of patent medicine pitched by traveling salesmen, we have essential oils pitched by MLM recruits. People know not to buy magical cure-all patent medicine from an old-times salesman with a handlebar mustache, but they don’t know to avoid miracle essential oils pitched by their cousin who just joined an MLM. Same story, different minor details, larger scale than ever.

I think people tend to forget how rampant these frauds can be only because we have relatively decent enforcement and limits around them now. Remove the guard rails and they will proliferate like never before.

The lesser talked about issue with public investing is they the genuine entrepreneurs don’t actually need to raise money from general public. There is already more investment money out there than genuine deals available to take it up. Most of the investment opportunities that make their way to the general public have already been reviewed by and declined by many skilled, professional investors. Anything left for the public is inherently biased toward being a very bad investment.
TBH I'm having a real tough time reading this on the sarcasm-scale haha

I think the big problem though is that for every scam investor, there is at least one visionary who might actually pull it off, and its not always easy to tell the difference between the two...although sometimes its really easy

Backs up the GP claim but I can’t find any evidence of this being replicated in another independent experiment. It’s at least a little bit strange that no one tried to replicate these rather concerning findings in the past 10 years since publication.
SSHFS has behaved a little jankily for me on Linux, too, since forever. I wonder if the protocol’s just not really up to the 2%.
I think the damage is much more than just the integrity of the knowledge base. There are people who spend years focusing their (very expensive!) academic pursuits in reliance on these studies. They spend years of their lives researching and trying to replicate in vain. The damage to our collective knowledge is costly and unacceptable but there are also real people who are real victims of this fraud. It’s not just some theoretical cost borne by society at large.

So true. Wind turbines are supported by the gas lobby because thermal power plants are needed to compensate for wind variations. This same lobby is pushing blue hydrogen against green. But if wind turbines were used to produce green hydrogen, many problems would be solved : energy storage, energy transport.

I doubt this story is true. There's no drone that can fly so fast for 70 minutes that does not have heat signature (i.e. is not using jet engines). 70 minute flight time excludes electric drones automatically.
