Accountancy has been around for a few hundred years. Lawyers longer. Eventually what you wish for will be true.

But I'm not sure I'd want to work in that industry. I like that I can just start hacking away at something that I think will work and create value.

> The clever response to that is: but what if we don't train them and they stay?

Not really. I mean, I get the reference and it is smart. But we're talking about why most tech companies don't hire juniors and train them up. Instead they prefer to hire seniors, not provide any training, and lose them after two years because they can't give pay rises over 5%.

And my impression of "professionals" is not nearly as good as yours. I've seen "professional" managers behave like egotistical idiots way more often than devs. My first startup was destroyed by a "professional" accountant behaving wildly inappropriately. The last time I was a CEO I was quietly informed that I should get a new desk because the previous CEO (an accountant) had a habit of humping hookers on it during his lunch breaks.
> git is a form of blockchain.

Does this look like a valid argument? Where is the distributed consensus that is at the heart of blockchain?
git will just cause conflicts leading to prejudiced manual intervention.

I also don't see a great reason against its energy use as the nature of being fair is to make the competition as useless as possible or else it will be unfair for some people with financial incentives leading to unbalanced distributions in certain industry sectors.

But at the cost of that, it doesn't put anyone as a dictator, which is worth more. (As the public agrees with its price action.)

At least some miners are trying to use cleaner energies at this point, so it's an improvement.
Why I don't necessarily agree about tap water: many countries have excellent tap water and it's perfectly fine to use. If you have an automatic machine you might have to descale it a few times a year but it's perfectly fine for brewing coffee. Bottled water can often have more impurities than Finnish tap water.

Why I don't necessarily agree about temperature: coffee beans are already roasted at temperatures far hotter than 100 celcius. Any oils that would get lost due to temperature, have already evaporated at that point. If the water is too cold (like 90C or less), you risk under extracting the coffee. I think boiling is a perfectly acceptable temperature and don't notice any difference between that and 96C.
my experience with coffee: Filter your tap water for coffee or tea, you will definitely feel the difference. Dont use a paper filter, I noticed my coffee tastes burned when I do. Buy a roast that you enjoy, I got several bags and tested at same time to determine which I enjoyed more. I keep getting the same since.
But I did not see any difference if I grind the beans for 10 seconds or 2 min. So not sure I can feel the difference in grind in my palate!
The first real 'killer app' game (Half Life Alyx) released coincident to GPU prices going nuts. People got interested in VR... then couldn't upgrade their PCs to run it.
If you get $10m aren't you, like, finished? You escaped the game. It's over. Why does investing matter anymore?
One usecase though for him is to use your hands in VR. Hand tracking already has that covered though it's not yet perfect. But much more natural than using gloves.

Being able to feel things in VR would be a big thing though. Especially if the gloves can also push back. So you could push against a wall and feel it. But in order for that to happen they'd have to be attached to something, not sure how that would work.

But it does look like he's got feedback of hand held objects working which would be interesting too.
I like it! The name is especially cute.

I carry a PQI Air Card in my pocket to use as an SD->WiFi->iPhone adaptor, and this could complement it nicely. I've also carried a CoreWind WiFiG25 for USB host, so I could mount other people's phones using MTP or libimobiledevice. The CoreWind stopped working, so I've been trying to replace it with a VoCore, but I haven't got that to work yet either. Does the Pocuter have USB host ports?

Having battery power management circuitry is really wonderful - I'm usually having to use a Third Rail battery and microUSB M - USB F mini adaptor and microUSB M - USB M rotating adaptor to power the pocket computer, and then I can't use the same wire for plugging in other devices. Screen support is also very impressive - and with an ESP32 on board then it should be able to bit-bang VGA out too!

Bitcoin and others are just numbers. As such they are not backed by anything material. They have no intrinsic worth. You can't touch them or hold them. When the electricity stops they don't exist.

Your choice as to whether you entrust your assets to a scheme like that. I prefer something solid like real physical assets that I can hold or touch and that doesn't rely on a source of energy for its existence.
I have a manual grinder (Hario) and I really don't like how long it takes to grind the damn things with it. IMNSHO it adds to much friction to the process /rimshot/ and makes it that much less enjoyable. Caveat emptor, basically.
If the code in the parens that does what I think it does, Ruby has the same capability. Ruby allows you to redefine and even undefine... just about everything. Case in point: `binding.local_variable_set`. https://www.rubydoc.info/stdlib/core/Binding I think the only thing you can't do is undefine a local variable.

I've used environmental variables to determine which modules extend a class. This allowed me to test the same code against two different apis while we were migrating vendors. While this is done at "compile time", it could have easily been done during run time.

One nightmare of a system I worked on had the initializer of a class conditionally load modules to completely redefine the class. I called it reverse inheritance because it did the same thing as inheritance, without any of the readability or simplicity. Just because you can do a thing doesn't mean you should do a thing. XD

But I think Ruby is the exception that proves the rule. It allows absolutely crazy things and probably deserves the label of being a weird language. It's just wrapped in the trappings of a non-weird language.

They do make a profit on the hardware when they sell it to you. But that's a one time profit. The new buzzword of capitalism is "recurring income". And that is where Apple's software ecosystem comes into the picture. Apple today makes billions of dollars from its App stores, paid iCloud services, search bundling etc. These are profitable income they continue to earn for the whole life-cycle of the device.

And this is why Apple wants a stranglehold on both its hardware and software. And precisely why it will sabotage any other viable OS that emerges on its platform (which it can now do much more easily with its ARM SoCs).

For apple fans who crib about how Linux / xBSD OS sucks because of all the configurations / "extra steps" they require to do something, I'll wager that running a Hackintosh on an Intel / AMD processor will be a less buggy experience than running Linux / xBSD on the Mac M1 as a Desktop OS. (Simply because AMD and Intel are actually happy to see macOS running on their CPUs, unlike Apple that sees other OSes on its ARM cpus as a threat.)

It was reported by a few journalists that Pamela Jones was her real name, but yeah, I have no way to verify that and ultimately it didn't matter, because the information was being collected and presented in public.

The community could, and did, call her on it when they believed she was making motivated arguments during the TurboHeracles affair. This to my mind shows that it was really a community and not just an echo chamber.

I am not sure the clickbating sensentional title really can be substantiated by the content...

Except from the fact that China practiced a different political system and ideology, developing China is not morally worse or better than developing any other nations.

Of course, when China grows powerful, they'll become more aggressive, and may even become the next super bully.

Having used all of the configuration management tools available, and I do mean all of them, I have found Ansible to be the most flexible, the easiest to execute arbitrarily, and the easiest to understand and package alongside applications. I would love to know what you're using that's better than Ansible and doesn't rhyme with poohbernetes.

Yeah, if you have to grind more than one cup each time, it can get a bit tiresome. I got my first electric grinder after a few months of cranking it by hand.

But for many, it's also just a part of the ritual and charm. I mean, if you really go at it, it shouldn't take more than 20 seconds per cup.

I'm not in one of those countries. I'm in Canada and the medium-sized city I live in has a dozen cases a day, which is an increase over the last few months. The large majority have not contracted it here yet. We continue to use mass testing and partial restrictions to control the rates, along with vaccination. I have no idea if this is a winning proposition in the long run especially with the new contagious variants. But it does seem to work in terms of case numbers so far.
It’s fine. There are basically infinite niche interests you could dive into and become completely fascinated by. Coffee is one of them and I’m glad people enjoy it. Personally, I love different niches and don’t care about coffee. But it’s all the same thing.
No, not at all, if you understand how the vaccine works you wouldn’t either.

This is a rogue CEO who is exploiting a particular legality niche to fight his own board. And had committed misconduct before.

This is a extradinary situation. Not something you see often.
Flattered by your interest but now I'm afraid the words "DSL" and "Lisp-like" might've given the impression of far more complexity than the project actually was. Keep in mind the core engine is ~200LoC. Maybe twice that at most. But really, there were far more rules than engine logic in the end.

The project was started for legal compliance so I don't want to go into specifics in case I make a slip one way or another. It did not run in the production cluster per se but was important nonetheless. (Actually, gods forbid it run in production!)

Very vaguely, it simplified structured data. A rule is recursively defined, base cases being simple rules that just returned primitive data. The original data could be an object with deep properties but most rules just simplified it to one with less fields.

I call it "Lisp-like" because after writing a handful of recursive rules, I had flashbacks of when I studied (actually) Scheme in uni. The tree-structure and meta-rules certainly gave that impression. I did not parse parens though, rather the rule syntax is JSON dictionaries. I hope this aided in readability---it should be self-explanatory what each rule did---and so my team did not find it too esoteric.

I don't remember the exact volume of data we processed but it was in the tens of GB, if not low hundreds. We parallelized it and had maybe 20 runners working concurrently. You can claim mapreduce (ha!) at this approach but honestly I think we could've parallelized it as easily if I did not go with this DSL-approach. :)
Animals have an inherently higher worth in terms of energy, niche, process, consciousness.

Bacteria left unchecked, could wipe out a species due to it's crazy exponential growth factors. For example over running the immune system.

Fast Devshell Startup in Powershell
This argument is self refuting. If inferior programming languages are being picked continuously by “the business”, we’d expect that businesses that pick “superior” programming languages to out compete the other businesses. We don’t see this, so one of the following is true:

1) Programming language quality is a non-factor in business success.

2) People like PG are wrong about what makes one language superior to another.

By the by, I have never seen a non-programmer executive demand a “bad” language be used for a startup. What I tend to see is grizzled ex-programmers ignoring the trends and picking the reliable and “boring” choice over the complaints of some IC’s. This is less a “clueless business” issue and more an acknowledgment of an unpopular truth: picking the boring language that lets the business focus on its core domain is better than picking something that excites the most vocal engineers.

I've done data analysis for a decade in the healthcare space, ML is not at all common. Basic statistics and data munging is 99% of what you need, you're mostly doing SQL to gather the data, then a lot of older folks still use SAS, my god. R looks way more "shiny" than SAS, nevermind python. Python is trendier in all other fields it seems, it really hasn't penetrated healthcare in my experience. R on the other hand, so many healthcare researchers come from academics and statistics courses where R is way way more popular than python.
Knowing details about the grammar is necessary for that. Rust's macro_rules! (and, to a lesser extent, your syntax) exposes implementation details about the compiler as parts of the standard, so it's difficult to use (e.g.) a different architecture of parser.

I don't have any 1st person experience with this (or work at Waymo) but there are probably several easy ways they avoid this.

The car will probably never drive with the door open and all modern cars have sensors to detect this.

Second, their cars (and any competent self-driving car) needs to have a very accurate awareness of its surroundings. True it might be difficult to get a clear view of a person just barely outside the car but I'd bet that they have cameras/radar/lidar positioned to see if at least something is there.

Lastly, they have internal passenger cameras that can detect whether a person is inside the car.
I suspect they have flagged users that get filtered differently. I've been in comment threads where people say very similar things as myself with all the same keywords and I'll get a message days later about a submission being hidden due to some violations.
Different coffee types and roasts differ in volume. Darker roasts tend to be lighter which translate to more volume in the beans and less in the actual grinded coffee.

If you buy only one type of coffee and it's consistently the same roast level, then there shouldn't be a huge difference if you measure accurately.

But for me, I buy a different coffee bag every time and one scoop of a light roasted Ethiopian coffee will definitely not be equivalent of some darker Guatemalan coffee for example.

You don't need to measure it thrice though. Just measure the beans before grinding them and then calculate how much water you'll need. I also use the 60 grams of coffee per liter of water, ie 16:1 water/coffee ratio as a starting point. Then just measure the water with a scale or by volume.
What's more frustrating than Facebook doing this is that there are people who support this solely based on the the type of content that gets shadow-banned, censored, or penalized.

Even Tweet OP is trying to justify their opposition to this behavior by stating "im pro-science/vaccine/etc, but this not cool fb".

To reiterate the same freaking point that gets spelled out on every post:

IT'S NOT THE TYPE OF CONTENT THAT IS THE PROBLEM, IT'S THE METHOD. IF YOU'RE OK WITH THIS AGAINST ALEX JONES, YOU CAN'T COMPLAIN WHEN THEY START CENSORING ABORTION/LGBTQQIP2SAA HELP LINES.

It's amazing to me that some people -especially millennials/zoomers who are left-by-default (read: without thinking, leftists to fit the group)- don't see selective blocking by an authority (even the state) is no problem, as long as it fits their views and it's only problematic when it's against them. IMO these same people are the prime target to become archetype republican later on in life, after they get disillusioned with their group and slowly start to spot hypocrisy.

To be clear, both democrats and republicans are hypocrites.

I am not medical professional, or a trained social worker, but I have no doubt that Holmes has a diagnosable personality disorder and was the victim of some sort of abuse and manipulation.

I also believe that she was totally aware that she was enaged in fraud and deception and was faciliated by a swath of powerful people who had various things to gain.

It is unfortunate that many defendants will seek out any means to avoid the consequences of their actions. It is also troubling when they use issues such as abuse and mental health as excuses. It is disrespectful to those who have really suffered.

Her inability to accept any responsibilty is terrible. It very well may be she was abused and manipulated, but should that exhonorate her from the entire criminal enterprise?
