Maybe. There are lots of explanations for not having a larger test area, or for miscalculating a manually piloted crafts mach 3+ trajectory.

But you're missing the bigger
point.

It may have been completely unrelated to weather. By "something similar" I mean an innocent, isolated, non-cultural and non-conspiratorial explanation, that won't involve the FAA digging (or having to dig) any deeper than the superficial proximate cause.

It was a test flight of a manually piloted craft. To some extent, things will not go as expected.

Boeing and Russias last manned flights weren't manually controlled, and both had significant problems- early rocket shutdown and an unintentional, initially unstoppable thruster firing.

Yeah it needs investigating, but it's hardly unexpected or uncommon, especially for a test flight.
I'm always in awe of articles like this one where people describe their workflow with the help of mindmaps, flow charts, class diagrams etc. and where they detail meticilous (self-written) extensions or scripts for categorization, readability etc.
I usually feel pretty bad after reading them because they make me realise that I'm a lazy piece of shit who just bookmarks stuff and never reads any of it afterwards.
Our idea of confidence is shaped by what successful men have found to work with other men. This isn't a social bias, this is economic survival of the fittest.
Hmm. $0.18 per hour for 4GB of RAM is a rather steep. A c6g.large on AWS would run you less than a half of that, for the same number of CPUs and memory. A quarter if you're happy to use spot instances. Might be neat to have an OSS tool that spins up an EC2 (or Azure or GCP) instance running Code-Server[1] (VS Code running natively on the server, but presenting the UI in the browser), with a given git repo and credentials.

Admittedly, the storage costs would be higher.

Super interesting! I'd love to see what you come up with.
Important Message from the GWB – The Future of Man
Nah not really, only incentive to tell that you are not vaccinated.
It would be much easier to identity an infected individual for quarantine if a virus had a steep fatality rate, the transmission would be much slower too since dead people don't travel.
I don't know. I haven't worked in that system for many years. That said, it was more received wisdom than a written rule, and I was aware of exceptions who were prescribed more than ADHD meds.
Hopefully for companies following suit they'll make it "anyone can work from home; unvaccinated must work from home".

If only unvaccinated can work from home, yeah, bass-ackwards incentivization.
Just because objects are involved doesn't mean it is OOP code... OOP is completely misunderstood especially in Java community to the point where it is pretty difficult to see actually object oriented code.

A "service" with a bunch of stateless functions (I am intentionally not calling them methods) is really just a library of routines and the class is used mostly for namespace purposes (to group related functions together) and maybe deliver access to some dependencies. But those dependencies could be thought about almost the same way as global variables in a C program, because usually there exists only single instance of the service.

Neither are DTOs being passed between these services an OOP meachanism -- they are almost C-like structs to make it easier to pass data between functions and to have single reference to them. The only exception maybe is things like equals(), hashcode() etc, but this is very shallow use of OOP patterns.

So it is really difficult to say this is abuse of OOP, when there is very little of actual OOP in it.
Because they don’t have vaccines.
I think it's harder now than it used to be. When I started programming, any error message you saw would almost certainly originate from the beige box on the desk in front of you, which had only a single CPU core and often didn't really do multi-tasking. Over time, our computers, operating systems, applications and networks have become vastly more complex, with the effect that you can't easily build an intuition about which component is responsible for a failure and why.

Personally, I love debugging things. I have a very good "theory of mind" for dealing with computer failures, and figuring out why the computer isn't doing what I might naively expect it to do is a lot of fun. However, it's only fun because I've been able to stay on top of the curve as the systems I work with have become more complex. Starting from zero today sounds a lot more daunting.
> If they decompiled the code and just cleaned it up it’s very grey.

From the filed complaint, Take-Two quote one of the developers :

> GTA 3 and Vice City were originally written in [programming language] C++ . . . The compiled executables that are shipped are in machine code. So the general task is to go from machine code back to C++. . . . To go back to C++ is by no means a simple 1:1 mapping, but over the last 10 or so years decompilers have appeared that help with this process. . . . So what we typically do is work with the output of the decompiler and massage it back into readable C++

And although this probably has no relevance from a legal standpoint, but sounds pretty bad in the context of the complaint, from right at the bottom of https://github.com/GTAmodding/re3/blob/master/CODING_STYLE.m... :

> Generally, try to make the code look as if R* could have written it
People stuff money into bricks and mortar precisely because they consider other investments even worse. There isn't a great deal of optimism in the market right now, which contributes to the slump. People are being defensive.

Looking at my own country, I cannot really pinpoint any single corporation I would trust to grow a lot in the 20s. Peeerhaps Avast, maybe.

And looking at the recent Chinese governmental heavy-handed social engineering and crackdowns, I expect rich Chinese to start investing their money outside China even more furiously than until today.
There was also Adobe Brackets, but it was discontinued earlier this month.
I'm not sure what is going on with UBS, but I would think that they would similarly allow vaccinated people to also work from home if they wish.
Why does the freedom to infect others outweigh the freedom to survive a preventable disease? You don't get to pick and choose which parts of the social compact to follow as it suits you.

There's bound to be more fun things one would also be barred from doing by adopting this stance.
My Apple mouse has an ARM processor as does my Apple keyboard. Even some Apple cables have an embedded ARM processor. If they are paying a per chip or per core royalty to ARM then they might just be looking to avoid those costs.
I'd love to see ML-GPL which specifically deals with using licensed property as a training set.
Your point send valid, but architect/builder is usually the bouncing back and forth type relationship though, plans are usually half baked and the surveys aren't right so stuff has to change. And builders are the ones on site every day overseeing, usually the architects just check in.
VSCode does little out of the box. You install plugins to get what you want. Including vim mode.
Cold water immersion: Benefits vs. Myths
Chrome/Chromium is kind of an own OS already.

And the direction will probably be WASM instead of Javascript. It seems like JS runtimes are not easy to optimize further.
I suspect that UBS leadership perceive working at the office as desirable.

Maybe it is the same perception for UBS employees. Maybe those at home miss out on some perks or even get neglected by their managers. Personally I doubt it, and I expect there's probably a sinister undertone to this message along the lines of "Those who work at home will be treated as less willing" or something.
My guess is no, they don't want to disclose that stuff. If they were a founding member, they can just contribute enough cash to avoid it.
Not without trade-off though, I've been on both spectrum. Template generated code allows you to modify things if you know how, while generation on the flies will need a bunch of options, hooks, and worse string-based evaluation call to make it modifiable.

So it's better for code with little to no modification, while boilerplate / template are better for things that will be modified.
RISC-V had better code density than anything a few years back. Cant say how it competes with the latest though.

It does have some weird instruction encodings though. They intended it to be fixed 32bit instructions, but then that changed and its let with some odd things because of it. I'd like to see immediate data come after the instruction.
I totally agree, even though I'm not using that, Mochi is really well thought-out and maintained app. I'm testing it from time to time and it's always better, I'm pretty sure some day I'll switch to them. They allow for hierarchical structure of your notes/cards and also you can easily link between them with [[wikilinks]] (with auto backlinks).
It was extremely easy to change peoples minds though. You simply have to make them pay to get tested. Then suddenly the vaccine was preferable.

I’m not American, I don’t share your sentiments about letting people be people. A society is you and me and everyone else in it, working together. If you chose to work against the wider us for no good reason, then you’re no longer part of our society. Being anti-science is not a good enough reason for anyone to defend you around here.
We rely on pre-trained models at the moment, since Jina supports loads of them out of the box.

For image search we use Big Transfer Encoder (https://github.com/jina-ai/executors/tree/main/jinahub/encod...) but may switch to CLIPImage encoder at some point

Oh yeah in Italian there is also Celeste so there are three (although is pretty interchangeable with Azzurro)
Really? I swapped to PyCharm when I was a solo dev because it had superior code insight compared to the other editors. What is enterprise about it beyond it costing money?
I played a pirate copy of VC when I was a poor student and loved the game.

Hearing of ReVC just now made me consider buying it, a 20 year old game. Take-Twos belligerent approach just killed that consideration. They have fans both hardcore enough to restore the game and loving enough to provide the restored version to others, and they choose to slap them with a lawsuit over a 20 year old game?

We the people don’t have the right to distribute copyrighted files, but we do have a right to repair broken software, just like we have the right to repair other things we own, and we certainly have a right to help others do the same.
No, identifying the tumor is only step 1, and is the easiest step. Most non-radiologists can identify whether a tumor is present. The harder part (and the true value of radiologist reads) is everything that comes after finding the tumor: what structures are the tumor invading? Is there spread to lymph nodes? Are there secondary findings that might affect the diagnosis or treatment?

These questions and their relevance changes for every individual case, and while each question by itself may be approachable with AI, getting a detailed and relevant report without meaningless noise from an AI ensemble is a very very hard problem.
Serious question, what alternative(s) to Python would you recommend with nicer syntax?
> Won't this create an incentive not to get the vaccine in order to continue working from home?

Then working from home would be better no matter vacinnation and the right thing to do is to enforce working from home.
> Are American gun rights activists deluding themselves, that they'd stand a chance if the police and military decided they were gonna run shit?

In WACO a few "lunatics" took up the time of well over 1000 officers + a lot of hardware and well over a month. And this was just a few people with guns.

The goal isn't necessarily to be able to stand up to the military, but rather to make a tyranny as unappealing and arduous as possible. I have a writeup somewhere, but can't find it atm, so I'll get back to you with it later.
If I remember correctly, the default is 20 new cards a day which is IMO still too much.

Anyway, Anki scale in the sense that you don't have to do thousand cards if you don't want to. But the UI was designed to help combat psychological problems of tackling an intimidating amount of cards.
> The language quibblers of the programming industry have installed a set of opinions

Pray they don't install another one.
First they identify the outsiders. Next they eliminate them.
These people want to not have the vaccine AND to work at home so they don't infect others. You'd have a point if they wanted the right to remain unvaccinated while demanding they be allowed to work in the office. Would you prefer if companies just fired everyone who, for whatever misguided reason, don't want the vaccine?
…Compared to 60% of circumstances in the meat-based developer control group? :)
> I think the opposite is true, what they did was fair use. The defendants are outside US, pretty sure everything they did was 100% legal in their jurisdictions.

There's just no way that it's fair use to distribute a decompiled copy of a game. Reverse engineering and decompiling are generally legal, but they don't strip away copyrights from the code.

Think about it this way... compiling source code does not change who has the copyright on the code. Decompiling source code does not change it either. Cleaning up the output from IDA or Ghidra does not magically strip away copyright.

If I went to a Broadway show and sat down with a pad of staff paper so I could transcribe all the songs, and then put my transcriptions up on GitHub, I could get sued by the composer and the composer would win.
If the standup is just a status meeting it's worse than pointless.

It should be more like a get-together just to take the general temperature, discuss any unforeseen problems or worries, etc, and perhaps notify any more detailed short calls, eg "hey Andy, I don't understand this part of your API, mind if I call you after this to discuss, as I';; be working on it later today", etc. ie part water-cooler, part play-plan.

PMs etc, should not be invited, unless they are required to help with something, this meeting is for the team.
The linked Bloomberg news article is a much more informative source than this summary of Twitter comments. If anything, it doesn't make the mistake of calling the bank the "USB Group".

So in most jurisdictions, what they did was clearly copyright infringement.

It's a shame a simple take-down request wasn't sent (and complied with) first...
Sure, but why not then have the dialog just all text to speech? Businesses are made of people. The right thing to do for the business and the employee is to coach and train the employee to communicate effectively. This removes an unnecessary barrier between the idea trying to be communicated and the audience.
If you want to be part of society you have to wear pants and you have to get vaccinated. If you can’t do those things then you can go somewhere else.

Or at least pay for your own covid test that clears you for a visit into society for 24 hours.

We can’t be burdened by the village idiot forever.
That is true although it doesn't really change the point. The proponents for Brexit mostly wanted to free themselves from EU regulation and the voters wanted to cut down on immigration. The only people complaining about tariffs were remainers (including myself), we were arguing they would increase and we were wrong.
For me the advantage of VSCode is in its approach and how it has differed from other products:

- VSCode Remoting is really useful. It doesn’t suffer as much from latency as SSH or display forwarding, and lets you use some local configuration when remoting. Neovim will soon have a feature like this.

- Language servers for code intelligence has greatly improved editor support for languages. Up until the introduction and adoption of LSP, which was practically an invention of VSCode, language support was significantly more hit-or-miss with most editors. Basically only IntelliJ IDEA could do similar code intelligence across many languages. Because of LSP though, more editors and more languages can participate in inline documentation, go to symbol, errors as you type, debugging, etc. for example, many people now use language servers with Vim, and you can see useful integrations for languages like Terraform/Hashicorp HCL.

- The extensions ecosystem: it isn’t necessarily the greatest ever, but it is very solid.

- Compared to many IDEs, it remains lightweight and fast to boot. Though I’m not complaining, (regular) Visual Studio and IntelliJ are too useful to ignore in some cases.

- Unification: because it’s so versatile, across OSes, across runtimes, over remoting, over Code Spaces, you can buy into the ecosystem in your projects. You can tell Code Spaces what extensions to install and what commands to run, to try to build a nice environment. You can tell desktop VS Code what extensions are recommended, add workspace configuration to help improve the workflow. Users still can use other editors, and you can still include editor information for those editors too. But, for someone who just wants a good option to edit a specific project, pushing them towards VS Code is a really safe bet.

To be clear it has some issues too:

- There is no equally useable OSS version, as the Microsoft distribution has become more dependent on services and blobs.

- It’s not as quick and responsive as something like Sublime Text or vim.

… but honestly, I think it’s just great. If I was a new programmer again and I could jump right into projects and immediately begin working on them without having to figure out the rigmarole of version control, tool chains, build system and editor config, that would be amazing. For that reason I think Code Spaces and VSCode are net goods, though I think we ought not become too dependent on the specific solution. VSCode is never going to be the perfect editor for any specific use, but I believe overall it is usually a great editor.
No, the license that you apply is completely irrelevant, and there’s certainly nothing whatsoever special about the GPL. Copilot is completely depending on being effectively exempt from copyright; if that legal theory falls apart, the entire space (and a lot of other machine learning stuff) is utterly doomed. Trouble is, Copilot can’t tell whether it’s reproducing copyrightable chunks of your code, or indeed where what it produces came from, by the very nature of machine learning techniques.
Maybe they can hire back Chris Lattner…
It'd be interesting to see if this actually goes to court, because decompiled code is technically new code, not the original. Decompilers can't retrieve the original code written by Rockstar devs, but it can write new code that behaves like it. Is that a derivative work? If a person were to do that by hand, I think most people would say it's fair use.
I have never used vim in my life (20 years in dev. including on linux and used linux since the late 90s). Many people talk about vim lately, probably the most I've seen and I'm still not sure why.

That said, VSCode is very good. But I don't believe in a web-based IDE and in remote Github repos. That's a recipe for disaster and unescapable vendor lock-in, and in any case it's only an option for web dev., really.

Edit: Since some people always take things literally: I have of course tried vim, like most people who ever worked with Unix/Linux I suppose, but never got beyond that. I am surprised that it seems to have become so "fashionable" lately. There are many alternatives to vi/vim and many IDEs. My experience is that vi has always suffered from its interface and has struggled to expand beyond "bearded Unix gurus"...
Great comment about “Project developers” and “Product developers”. It is almost an entirely different art to get the requirements right by iterating on a project, and bringing out a solution to life versus engineering a scalable, maintainable product that evolves after a good start.
I never had to think of such distinction.

Waterfall model has its downsides in extracting the requirements out properly whereas the Agile approach(the little I have seen of it) seems to lose the layered stability of a waterfall based approach.
Why do I feel the AMA was a bigger problem than liability?

Plus--wouldn't the software company be liable? (I don't think the tech is ready for office use, but when it is--I still think it will be a battle.)

Kinda like all medical devices. Whenever there's a problem, the equipment is looked at first?

Personally, I don't think the AMA wants computers taking away their doctor's precious income, and will only acquiesce when the tech makes the doctor more money, or is so good politicians/insurance companies start demanding it.
You would have to not host your code publicly either, right?
I suspect that they plan to rerelease or remaster the game, and having a fan project being of higher quality than their own product would undercut their sales expectations.
The fact that anyone would think it is the responsibility of employers to force others to do anything... just amazing. You know that there is a system already in place to do that, right? It is even designed to guard against abuses that businesses aren't equipped for: this is a function of government. If you want to force your vision of the world on others - lobby the government, that is what it is there for.
I said originally that they can print money.

Sorry, that was a bit sloppy. When we say that eg the Fed prints money, we mean that they buy assets with newly created money.

Typically that asset is government debt. But they have been known to buy other stuff as well. And if they run out of government debt to buy, and nominal GDP still hasn't picked up, they can keep buying up the rest of the world.

Just to keep in mind: real GDP = nominal GDP - inflation.

Printing money like isn't expected to do much for real GDP.
It is a weird time. A buddy of mine, who worked with me some time ago landed a position at another place along with a classmate of her at the same time. Long story short, he landed a senior position and she did not. Her initial reaction was to go HR and claim discrimination.

Since I do consider myself her friend, I tried to take her off the ledge. You are just starting there. You do not want to brand yourself from get-go. You do not know what kind of backing the guy had. HR is not your friend.

I did not hear from her for a while so I hope she took the advice. I would not dare to offer this advice to someone I don't trust.
About as quickly as progressives retreated from it once they had the power to get people they disagree with fired.
The compressed instructions are not fixed length, so decoding in parallel is severely restricted. No high performance RISC-V machine would use that extension.
Nice! I'm far past the point where I have any chance of ever clearing up my-list without just re-creating my account and starting from scratch. Last time I did some rough calculations, I've ended up with months worth of non-stop reading. Glad to know other people are doing better!

As for Pocket itself, I cannot imagine my life without it. I pay for the premium purely to support it (I don't really use any of the premium features). But I wish I could extend it! There's all sorts of little things that I would've loved to have, but even with the recently-improved update schedule I'm not getting my hopes up.
Vaccines don't prevent transmission, you are not helping anyone but yourself with the vaccine, except for not making yourself into a burden for the medical infrastructure.
