I'm self-taught, and got hired in the UK. The stepping stone was an internship at a small company, who then took me on full-time.

I stayed at the first company for 3.5 years. During that time i also spent enough time on the then-young Stack Overflow to get 30-40k reputation. I have a solid degree in a technical but unrelated field. And i'd like to think i'm actually a decent programmer, and that this comes across in interviews. All that added up to make it pretty easy to get the next job in the normal way.
It's only a superpower in theory. In practice, the IRS has sued people for benefits collected from a not-really-dead person [1] without restoring that person to the land of the living. And then there's a case where a supposedly-dead person was given the death penalty [2].

If the state has an incentive to punish you, it will find a way.

The feedback latency is just ~2.5 seconds, humans can adapt to that. I remember myself using a dial-up to access a server via ssh, it occasionally had a similar latency just because of a low bandwidth due to phone line issues. The longer I used it the better it felt.
A hard-of-hearing friend of mine got tired listening to videos. He told me that he sneakily ran speech-to-text software and read the text in a separate window.

In a different vein, when I was younger I didn't understand why people preferred phoning.

I as a Deaf engineer rely on written communication. This exposes myself and people communicating with me to «showing what has been said». I am sure that in my career I missed some important information just because people weren't willing to create a persistent record of communication.

My friend «solved» this problem, but I am sure his interlocutors would be miffed if they knew that.

You might find it useful.
Yeah that sounds pretty bad. If I was you I would refuse to take on more work until you can handle what your current task load is. And always multiply how long you think it will take by 3. Saying yes to more work when you are drowning is bad for you and everybody else.
The US and USSR collectively had 25 lunar mission failures (not counting successful flybys, orbiters and impactors) before Luna 9 was successfully soft-landed on the moon [1].

India's first attempt at an orbiter was successful, and their first lander mission failed only due to a software issue. I don't think there's enough data yet to say that they "find it hard" compared to the Soviets.

This makes me feel a bit better about leaving my laptop plugged in all the time (docked).

I know Apple revised the iPad power delivery to account for always-connected power quite a while ago because folks were starting to use them as always on home dashboards, but it seems that has finally caught up to computers as well.

Historically, the negative has been the influence on the battery physically. Only time will tell if newer machines will fare better than MacBooks of old with bloated batteries attempting to break free from their aluminum shell. This is a good first sign of things to come though!
I don't think any of these are examples of it. Smart cards in 1974 postdate smart bombs. "Smart casual" fashion is smart in the "Good-looking; well dressed; fine; fashionable" sense, while smart bomb/phone are being used in this sense: "(often in combination) Equipped with intelligent behaviour (digital/computer technology)."

Smart bombs weren't called smart for being fashionably well dressed. The term was applied to guided bombs with fire-and-forget capabilities, which were first used during the Vietnam War.
> A/V receivers are the typical devices to support HEC

Then you surely can name a few models that support Ethernet over HDMI? (Somehow people keep claiming that this is totally a thing, but nobody ever can confirm a single device)
You can use a credit card anywhere even when your phone is in your car/at home or has a dead battery.
Ask them for more written (email) details before you give an estimate. When you think you have enough details then tell them that you will do a one week sprint and get back to them with an estimate. When you get back to them give them choices of work completed/compromises vs. delivery dates. Confirm in writing/email what you agreed to.
Yes, that's pretty exciting!
There is even support in Polars to execute the dataframe compute in DataFusion (as it can handle larger than memory datasets).
This whole presentation is ironic. Get to the point
Well said.

There are probably tens of millions of people and ten thousand MIT graduates who love and study physics more because of Walter Lewin. Does that justify the ways that he was abusive or morally ambiguous? Hell no!

Despite the controversy and very public cancellation of Prof. Lewin, his lectures are my top recommendation for studying introductory physics.
Love it. I would say "Mask no kamen (2005)" was the inflection point. Prior to that, I watched a bunch of shows and enjoyed some of them, but then I randomly stumbled onto this masterpiece. It is so good that I was motivated to lookup its director, Hamatsu Mamoru. It truly is unlike anything else you will watch.

When you see something that good, it makes you wonder what else is out there. Among the thousands of generic shows, there are true gems like Initial D. Did you know that Initial D continued with Season 5 after taking an 8 year break? Many fans don't know the new seasons exist.

How many even know that shows like Crest of the Stars exist? Its plot complexity resembles Babylon 5.

Then there's Kaiji. Kaiji is just... something else... Truly, truly something else. A simple game of rock/paper/scissors becomes a life or death experience when combined with gambling, greed, and group dynamics. Interestingly, they released a side story from the perspective of the villain's middle manager! It is absolutely insane how they apply corporate tactics to what happens to the hapless groups of gamblers.

Now there is such a masterpiece as Soul Land from China. Chinese donghua are taking animation to next level, although their stories tend to share the same plot. Soul Land makes you feel like you are inside a video game. Not everyone likes 3D anime, but this is done exceptionally well. Tencent is offering an official subtitled release through its YouTube channel, which recently became a paid offering and I paid for it.
My apologies, I thought it was clear I was speculating. Hence "sounds like" and "that would be incredibly damning". Thanks for the reference.
Does it really look like my comment is arguing for dictatorship or hereditary monarchy over democracy?

My intention was only to point out an unfortunate aspect of the system as it existed at the time. Proposing improvements wasn't something I wanted to get into, but here are some changes I think are improving the situation: greater involvement of civil servants, civilian committees, more comprehensive procedures for using classified information, non-governmental inspectors, disarmament and non-proliferation treaties. Incidentally I don't think an crown and scepter helps much, the UK is a hereditary monarchy (and a democracy) and has had a proportionate share of questionably-justifiable nuclear escalation.
I'd say the opposite. It is clear how Tesla goes from where they are to "full automation" – they just improve their models. Easier said than done, sure, but there is no conceptual leap required.

Meanwhile, for Waymo to jump from level 4 to level 5 requires handling edge cases which it is actually not clear can be handled by the system Waymo has built. In huge swathes of the world, weather conditions are not conducive a system that relies heavily on LIDAR / roads change too much to be effectively mapped like they've done in very stable metropolitan areas like Phoenix and SF / etc.

Said another way: our existing roads are built for entirely visual agents (humans). Getting a system that heavily relies on non-visual sensing (e.g. LIDAR/Radar) to work well on a specific subset of those roads is clearly doable, but that doesn't mean it can be generalized to our entire automobile infrastructure.
They would if I meant "not logged in by default" on the same browser, but I mean on completely separate devices which have never even touched my Twitter account—not out of paranoid sandboxing on my part, mind you, just no motivation to log in. I barely tweet anything at all, so why bother login in.

Could they still know it's my "user" who is seeing this or that tweet, by using intelligence-agency level analysis on usage, personal connections, and networking patterns to determine that it's me? I'm sure they could. But why bother to such a massive level of complexity when they could simply require login to view tweets instead?

I like how `csvkit` does it; assumes CSV input by default, `-t` for TSV input, `-T` for TSV output. Given I run `csvformat -T` many times a week, I appreciate the brevity.

An adverb. :p

(In all seriousness, technically a reflection of the severity, but more likely a turn of phrase).

Unless the manafacturers have locked down the device to only boot software signed with their keys, which they likely have.
Does this vulnerability have a CVE?

The database has several entries for Razernon eof which is the only only I've ever seen rated 10.

I come away with the impression that Razer care even leaa about security than Microsoft did in the early days of XP: an utterly unacceptable state to be in over 20 years later.
And Tweetdeck uses Microsoft's API.
Not necessarily. Bad managers will simply pile work on top of you until you drown. You need to learn the subtle art of saying no and/or delaying things without seeming to.
Well, I would say, that the various election and power systems were made in a time without digital, instant communication.

I believe a fundamentally better approach is possible today.
One where it is more easy for the voter to directly influence - and not be limited to a short choice and a long theater leading up to it.

Liquid democracy for example brings some new concepts.

I'm working as a fullstack engineer (nodejs+react), sometimes the front-end work is a bit more annoying, particularly now as I'm making a new webapp from scratch with mockups (sticking to mockups is definitely the most annoying part for me), but I think it's important to also do the annoying part in a job, just like chores.

Can you work in your current job as fullstack, alternating back-end and front-end?
I don't know how exactly consumer behaviour works in America when it comes to televisions but in India, most people hold on to their TVs for at least a decade.
So yeah this would not fly in a place like India. But in America, if the average consumer changes their television far quicker than here, it is likely very few will remain holding onto TVs older than 10 years. So the complaints of people will fall onto deaf ears.

This is one possible outcome only. But I feel this is quite likely.
This is one of these things were people once heard that it's in the standard and then are convinced its happening, but nobody can ever name a single device that supports it. (Happy to be proven wrong though, but for now this seems to be pretty much FUD)
Time will tell, Delta is a new beast compared to what we dealt with during the first lockdown. But cases are so far following expected trajectory after initiation of level 4 lock down. They go up initially as you are uncovering more cases through testing and tracing contacts. But new spread is only occurring within bubbles, so this hits a peak and begins to decline as the virus burns through it’s reachable population. Outside of Auckland it’s just one new case today so most of the country will be out of lockdown in a week. Auckland will be in lockdown probably for four weeks is my guess based on the last time this happened.

I can’t speak well to what’s happening in Australia as I am not there, except what I do hear from folks is that NSW let the side down. Going back to the start of the pandemic Australia initially had a US style throw your hands in the air approach at the federal level, but it quickly became apparent NZs ZeroCOVID approach was better, and so the individual states adopted the same approach while the federal government did nothing. An initial pretty hard lockdown last year had to be put into effect because so much spread had been going on, after which they ran pretty good. And if you look outside of NSW they’re still doing pretty good. But NSW were slow to act with a newly confirmed case of Delta and allowed it to spread too far. You really need to go hard and fast for it to work or it just doesn’t.

The proof is really in the pudding. 26 deaths since the pandemic started. And most of the time under completely free conditions less strict that the US or UK or just about anywhere:

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/covid-stringency-index?ta...

So emphatically yes life has been completely 100% normal here outside of the lockdowns. Where are you getting any idea different? What are you imagining is going on here? Why don’t you go browse the New Zealand subreddit to get an idea of life in NZ? Why not go watch one of the daily 1pm briefings on YouTube to get a feel for how a lockdown is managed?

I spent the first year of the pandemic stuck in the US, it was a shit show, a disaster situation in which people should have come together, but were pushed apart over made up crap by sociopathic self serving politicians and media.

You mention only 20% are fully vaccinated, it’s a bit better than that we are doing about 1% of the populations a day at the moment. I’m not sure why this has any bearing on the discussion though except your grabbing for things to criticize. The time will come to allow the virus to run its course here, hopefully once everyone has been vaccinated so the hospitals don’t get overwhelmed and we don’t have to deal with stories of people dying because hospitals are full as they are in parts of the US right now. It’s expected to have full vaccination by December, the question will be whether to wait for under 12s to be vaccinated and/or a 3rd booster to be given.
> Can you point to actual harm done by Google that people can't walk away from?

The idea that things such as access to information, mailbox, applications, storage, … should not cost you any money and that it’s acceptable (for the few people who even know) to pay with a log of every move you do.

Just go read any paid app reviews on any of the App Store to read tons of comments like « 1/5 It’s not free ».
obviously the superpower would be functioning in India - and just as obviously at some point you would do something big enough that they would have to do something about it. Probably the something like what was done in the movie Brazil when someone was legally dead but still alive.
DataFusion committee here.

DuckDB can work on Arrow data, so I think it could coexist with DataFusion / Ballista quite well.
I am not sure whether having different execution engines for Ballista is on the roadmap, but it's certainly a possibility!
Uttar Pradesh has a population of "only" 240M, about 3.5x that of France.
> Pizza, as with so many commercialized things, was popularized around the globe by the US, not by Italy. That's not something up for debate, it's not subtly the case, the US massively popularized pizza as the world knows it today

You need to back this up. It is far from obvious.

Do you have any idea how prevalent "chain-pizza" is compared with "locally owned", in countries throughout the world? I hardly believe it was US that spread pizza throughout Europe. It was much more likely migration.
You're extremely ignorant, you seem to be inable to use complex thought to understand someone elses conditions. They simply don't know how many children are going to survive also their children are their safety net in old age as they won't have any social security.

As an exercise, implement a small Scheme interpreter in a language like C++, Java, or C#.

This only takes a few days but you will quickly reach to the very core of computational foundation. Once reached, you'll never look at software with the same eyes ever again.

The experience will change you and your life for good. Some of the benefits:

- You will understand what the computation really is
- You will start to adore the math, and algebra in particular
- You will understand that a general computation is just tiny but extremely powerful abstraction over math (Turing completeness)
- This will open access the widest palette of instruments and approaches already present in math through hundreds of years
- You will get a totally different take on JavaScript. You will start to adore it, as it's just a LISP with C syntax. Extremely powerful yet simple
- You will understand any language and any programming system because you reached to the roots of computational theory

... and so on. I am sure this simple exercise will open the endless amounts of possibilities to you.

Well, that sounds like a cheesy marketing intro into some book, but hey, this is the truth. Good luck!
The issue is not about a space program, the issue is that it's a space program that is largely redistributing wealth from the commons to rich billionaires, i.e. a significant portion of funding is coming from government, through contracts and/or subsidies.

On top of that is that the billionaires are using their money to fly to space, instead of really changing the world for better, which they clearly good do. At the same time there is a significant portion of our community that idiolises these people and acts as if they are in fact changing the world for better.
No. A gun-type atomic weapon, the type used on Hiroshima, can be built by any decent machine shop with enough enriched uranium. (It's so simple that the Manhattan Project did not bother to test it; the Trinity bomb was the more complicated implosion-type weapon used on Nagasaki.) The Teller-Ulam hydrogen bomb's theoretical underpinnings are still not public; the technique is perhaps the only known example of "born secret" technology in the US, something that the government can use prior restraint to block publication of.

It is true that, as arethuza said, knowing that a Teller-Ulam device can be built certainly contributed to the Soviets, British, French, Chinese, Indians, and Pakistanis building their own hydrogen weapons. But that is not the same thing as those nations having specific knowledge of the US's pioneering method.
I’ve carried my iPhone in my shirt pocket for almost as long as the iPhone has been in existence. I’m current,y in the iPhone 7 Plus, because the 8 didn’t have anything I wanted, and I refuse to use Face ID for anything.

I’m also over fifty, overweight, and am more likely than average to need a pacemaker or similar device within the next few years.

I hadn’t considered the iPhone 12 problem until now, after it has been explained to me. Yikes!

Happy Birthday, Linux: Greg Kroah-Hartman Talks to the Register
I found it easy to read on mobile. The only problem was that the tables were a bit small. Maybe you need a better phone.
By far the most important difference is that with CalyxOS, you can relock the bootloader. This means that probably one of the most important security features, verified boot, works on CalyxOS, but not on Lineage.
Cancel culture is both ways. If you ask "is it bad to deny serving someone you don't like" you also have to ask "is it bad to deny getting service from someone you don't like".

Conversly, I don't like google and I try to avoid using their services. That's cancel culture. Or if you follow recent events, boycotting Gigabyte over exploding PSU's is cancel culture. Employees denying service to someone who just trashed the store and took a dump at aisle 5 are also participating in cancel culture. Airlines cancel customers who make the flight unsafe all the time. Heck, you can end up on a no-fly list and get cancelled by a huge number of airlines for that one time you popped the emergency exit to take a smoke on the wing of the plane, waiting for things to proceed.

The main difference is that usually you don't call some of those cancel culture unless you dislike what it's about.
The huge CPU-disparity is more on mobile and coming to desktops.

It's "just" hyperthreading on servers right now that could benefit from this.

Is there any indication that there are two thousand cases in France, though? So far in this discussion we’ve seen evidence of one.
Considering that the majority of web traffic is mobile, you’d think these experience designers would have built a site that works on smartphones.

It told me to rotate my device, but I had to fiddle around to realize it wanted me to swipe horizontally to move to the next screen. And there was no way to scroll down slightly to center the content on my screen, so the bottom was consistently cut off.

Good critique of Adobe, but the presentation was surprisingly lacking.
