That's supported too:

fmt ("SELECT {:v}, {:v} FROM {:v} WHERE id = {}", colname1, colname2, tablename, id);

The :v means "don't quote this, insert this string exactly as specified." It also has specialized handling for NULL values (i.e. it can generate 'IS NULL' instead of '= ...' if the value passed on is intended as a NULL value).
His point about 1:1 tutoring not being possible with current funding assumes everything else stays the same.

For kindergarten, an hour of 1:1 reading tuition per week would be plenty. Use the rest of the time to play/whatever under supervision. This could be achieved with much less money than public schools currently spend.

The quintessential feel of SF, cherry-picked to be outside of known bad areas, is the sound that is produced when, on a quiet street of Inner Richmond at 1am, nearly weekly, people (I use the term loosely) too incompetent to hold a rectangular object drop a recycling bin upon themselves as they steal recycling, and swear profusely.

Maybe things are different in Glasgow, but I've talked to many people with shelter experience in the U.S., and rarely heard anything good, mostly bad. And it all sounds quite similar to what Orwell wrote about shelters over 100 years ago... dangerous, prison-like places with rules, restrictions, and abuse. It's pretty much a guarantee that you'll experience violence and your belongings will get stolen or damaged, sometimes by the staff themselves.

Compare that to what's essentially minimal camping in the city, with no bears and plenty of quality food... You couldn't pay me enough to go to a shelter.

Never underestimate the effectiveness of total denial. You can hire in people who are barely competent to hold a pair of scissors. Sure they'll erode and ultimately destroy whatever technical edifice you've built this far. But by the time your ability, as a manager, to put a positive spin on the most abject of failure comes to an end, you'll have moved on to an even higher paying job at another FAANG, or retired.

Look at any failed multi-decade war waged by any unbeatable superpower past or present to see the highest levels of military and civilian command employ these exact same methods to build careers so successful that they'll be immortalized in statues for centuries after their deaths :)

Hello. Author of Next Generation Shell [1] here. I've skimmed ABS documentation and was surprised by the amount of similarities in thinking and reasoning between ABS and Next Generation Shell. Differences that popped into my head in limited amount of time follow:

* ABS has CLI and NGS does not yet, CLI of NGS will be written in NGS itself, so it takes time. The CLI in NGS will be radically different [3].

* ABS runs on Windows.

* ABS has decorators, NGS does not yet, still thinking how to do it right and more generic.

* ABS has some functions that NGS doesn't and vice versa.

* Found inconsistently named functions in ABS (json() vs tsv() - json() parses JSON while tsv() generates tsv); given more eyeballs on NGS, such inconsistencies should come up.

* NGS has user defined types.

* NGS has many predefined types, ABS has few.

* NGS has multi-methods and multiple dispatch.

* NGS has exceptions.

* NGS has (partial but already very usable implementation of) Universal Pattern Matching [2]

Translating example in the docs:

# ABS

res = `curl -s 'https://api.ipify.org?format=json'`

if !res.ok {
exit(1, "An error occurred: %s".fmt(res))
}

ip = res.json().ip
total = ip.split(".").map(int).sum()
if total > 100 {
echo("The sum of [$ip] is a large number, $total.")
}

# NGS

ip = ``curl -s 'https://api.ipify.org?format=json'``.ip
total = ip.split('.').map(Int).sum()
if total > 100 {
echo("The sum of [$ip] is a large number, $total.")
}

In NGS the double backtick syntax above runs external program and parses the output. The check of `ok` is not needed because on error exception will be thrown.

To be fair, the misadventure was in nation building. I don't support either (ok, I kinda-but-not-really support the Chinese case because I'm hyper anti-communist, but even I'm not sure the human cost is worth it), but if US can somehow destroy the Chinese govt as effectively as we destroyed the Taliban government (or Iraqi, or Libyan), that would be more than sufficient to defend Taiwan. No rebuilding necessary.
It's really easy to integrate into websites as well. I did so a few years ago. The TOTP algorithm is just a few lines of code. I adapted this implementation https://github.com/j256/two-factor-auth at the time. There are similar libraries available for lots of languages.

You need a library like that and a way to convert an otp:// url into a QR code, for which there are many libaries as well. The rest is just implementing a sane UX around this. Storing the user's TOTP secret server side is a bit tricky. I suspect a plain text field in a database is quite common for this; which of course would be disastrous if that database were ever stolen. Secret stores don't scale for this as they tend to be designed for just a handful of secrets. We ended up encrypting these totp secrets using a key from our secret store.

Many years ago, I took a college class through SFSU called Homelessness and Public Policy. My recollection: New York was ten times the overall population as San Francisco and the two cities had about the same number of homeless.

The problem in San Francisco is pretty bad. It's not equally bad across the state. I ran some numbers at one time and concluded that per capita, homelessness was twice as bad in San Diego as in Fresno, for example.

So it's not evenly distributed across the entire state. San Francisco is especially badly impacted from what I gather.

It's been a long term itch of mine to start a platform like this - similar to platforms I admire like Behance and Dribbble, The Full Stack is a platform designed for software engineering that I wished had existed throughout my career and to this very day. I am excited with the aim this platform helps engineers, managers and teams on their journey.

1) Showcase you and your projects on a professional network specifically for Software Engineering.

2) Connect with like minded engineers and build a more meaningful network (without the spam).

3) Don’t let your work get overlooked, instead let it connect you to opportunities from Teams and Engineering Managers looking for engineers just like you.

4) Unlike other networks liked LinkedIn, (there are no recruiters) when "real" engineering hiring managers reach out to you on The Full Stack, you get paid into your wallet for reading and responding to opportunities, putting you in control.

Would really appreciate your feedback, input and learnings from everyone.

Linux on the desktop has tons of problems, some of itself, some of the hardware you have to use with it, specially if we're talking about laptops.

we should adapt to climate change and use it to our advantage.

This does not conflict with trying to slow it.
Pretty much.

I was a lead (or the equivalent since titles change) after 5 years way back in the day and I really shouldn't have been.

The thing is the job titles are pretty much meaningless as I've never worked two places that had similar criteria for what they considered junior, regular, senior, lead and in some places seniors are leads (if you only have 1 senior on a team of 8 they are a lead, if you have 6 seniors on a team of 8 and no lead then are they really senior and to who).

Other places promote on time served, so you are junior 2 years, regular dev for 2-3 years, senior after that.

It's one of the reasons when hiring I completely ignore their previous titles and look at what they actually did.

I've seen juniors who where at least equivalent to seniors in other places and "Seniors" who I wouldn't have hired as a junior.

My favourite title in my entire career (and it was my actual title) was "Code Monkey"[1], it got entered as a joke in the HR system and everything after that sort of followed on even my business cards (remember those?) said it (since company ordered them and did a mail merge from the HR system).

That's the problem with "marketing names": they're dumbed-down "abstractions" created by and for "non-technical" people who don't think precision matters and so will try to get away with whatever they think they can with stretching the truth.

From that perspective, instances like this that will cause people to place less trust in the marketing names and look into the actual model numbers is a good thing.

I think the idea of "There's nothing you can do for me given the current social-political reality" too often gets conflated with "This is all I want my life to be". And even if the person has truly given up on society, I don't think society should ever give up on the person.

Macbeth is certainly a creepy play, and certainly there is a lot of creepy language (e.g. Lady Macbeth's "Have pluck'd my nipple from his boneless gums, And dash'd the brains out"). But I never felt that this was due to repetition of particular words, so this was interesting to read about.

That said, although these days it is uncommon to use generic nouns with the definite article ("the"), I understand that this was a lot more common in Shakespeare's day. I wonder if this is more common in Macbeth than in Shakespeare's other plays, whether it was a deliberate choice, and whether Jacobean audiences would have felt the same sense of creepiness.
Given that causing violence onto other people is illegal, I suppose what you're talking about could be thought of as a change to the prison system so that it's designed to improve the (mental) health of people committed, rather than just being punitive.

With somewhere in the thousand plus range of employees they'd have to be spending a hundred million on servers. I'd sure hope costs aren't that high. I'm pretty sure I could host every discord server I'm on for the price of a nitro subscription.

Edit: I mean, imgur has an estimated revenue of twelve million. Staple a hundred IRC servers on the side and you have most of discord's functionality accounted for. Unless the voice calls are really tough, and they're actually a streaming company by majority of expenses, where would the costs come from?
Big Tech? Try a friend of mine who quit a management position at wal-mart (vastly overqualified immigrant in a country not in north america) during the pandemic. Everything shifted to this horrible whatsapp group that kept on pestering everyone on and off shift and then he quit and found a way better job because this was hell.

I think it's important to realize that it is not limited to this industry; It's something that's actually also happening outside of bounds where people even might be used to this kind of remote work standards and practices, and it might be considered one even shittier to deal with when it comes to being new to this.

You're lucky. I live near the Baltic Sea, a relatively shallow sea with a very narrow link to the ocean, and agricultural runoff and sewage from 100 million people drain into it. We have very regular algae blooms, typically late summer when the water warms up sufficiently (for some reason, even though it was very hot, very little this summer).

The sewage problem is largely solved nowadays, thanks to modern sewage treatment plants, but thanks to the disastrous EU agricultural policy (CAP) there has been no improvement at all in the agricultural runoff for over 20 years.

Is this not exactly what I just described as the problem? Governments ruining the ability to hold data safely in online locations? "Stop being an online services company" does not seem like a solution. Being able to provide online services & networks seems to power a vast amount of modernity.

A lot of downvotes on my post. But holy shit I have no idea how anyone can see this as anything else. The discussion seems ridiculously off target. The government is making the data-center untrustable: how is this at all debateable? How is this any better than the Chinese authoritarianism that plagues their intranet? In neither world are people free to think or communicate. This is obvious.

I got curious about how all the other plays ranked. For example, which plays used those words the least? So I downloaded the text files from the Folger Shakespeare Library (https://shakespeare.folger.edu/downloads/txt/shakespeares-wo...) and ran this command to get a rough count of "the" and "th'" vs. the total words:

for f (*.txt); do echo $f; tr " \r" "\n\n" < $f | grep -A100000 ACT | egrep -v "^[A-Z]+$" | grep -i [A-Z] | egrep -i "^th['e]$" | wc -l; tr " \r" "\n\n" < $f | grep -A100000 ACT | egrep -v "^[A-Z]+$" | grep -i [A-Z] | wc -l; echo; done

Here were the results that gave me, formatted into a table and sorted by descending frequency:

Ignoring the whole log-likelihood stuff and just looking at the simple frequencies, I'm not completely sure that I buy the article's argument. Macbeth does come out on top by my analysis. But some of the other plays seem to use "the" or "th'" nearly as frequently without being particularly creepy. In terms of ratios of the frequencies, Henry V, a history, is only 2.6% lower than Macbeth. And the first comedy, Love's Labors Lost, is just 5.2% lower.
I mean... isn't that basically fraud? I'd be demanding a full refund before I lawyer up :P haha
I mean to the best of my knowledge basically all economists think it is, but beyond that imagine a world where we had stagnation or worse deflation. You would have much less of an incentive to invest money rather than just keep it in the bank.
A pathway to understanding TrueSkill could be first getting an understanding of factor graphs and Minka's expectation propagation algorithm [1][2]. I only have a superficial understanding of those things, but I think I've got an understanding of things that are close enough to give some idea of a pathway:

To understand Minka's expectation propagation algorithm you might first need to get a little intuition about assumed density filtering. One way to understand assumed density filtering could be to read a few tutorials about hidden Markov models [3] or Kalman filters and try to get a feel for why and when and how people might want to approximate posterior probability distributions. It might be hard to build enough intuition without trying to actually apply the things (implement the algorithms) or prove the theory yourself, and then try to come up with your own ideas for how to improve the algorithms.

I completely agree that there are basically infinitely more things to learn than available lifetime. It helps a lot to have a concrete application or goal in mind: then you can focus on learning the tools and theory that move you closer to the goal, rather than learning bits and pieces of unrelated knowledge that don't connect together in a useful way.
