There's an adage that when there's a shakedown, and the tree is being rocked wildly by management, all the best folks quickly leave. Only the people who aren't good at their jobs cling to the tree.

If I was in your shoes I'd have already started looking for something else to do. It won't be the company you joined six months from now, you won't recognise it anymore. And whilst that isn't implicitly bad per-se - who knows, the outcome might be that it becomes a better workplace with more opportunities and fairer staff appraisals - it will mean starting afresh whilst still carrying all of the politics and baggage that has come before. I would think it's better to start afresh without that.

But don't just blindly do what I or anyone else says you should do. It's good to seek external opinions, but in the end you should think it over and do what you feel is right for yourself. It's you that needs to live with your decision, not me.
It is indeed a very geometrical picture since position is just as much of a state as spin is. Position just has a few huge dimensions as its degrees of freedom. We don't know _yet_ whether position is continuously valued or discrete.

Gravity being quantum would most likely indicate that position is also discrete.

Since all energy, being allocated for external movement or just internal time, produces the same amount of gravity, it appears that the act of any state change induces gravity. Einstein never really gave a physically understandable reason for why all change causes gravitation, but it's likely similar to a ship in water. If the ship is rocking really fast, the waves that emanate from it can pull objects towards it. The rocking is just state change and even for a rest mass, we know that it's a loop of energy, there really is no static storage of mass.. it's a process of energy containment and cyclic change.
Well when you put it that way I feel silly thinking otherwise haha
Is a $100 bike from Walmart not sufficient to elevate your heart rate? Does riding it somehow not burn the "right" kind of calories?
> it’s surprising because more exercise is correlated with more consideration about one’s health. This would also mean that people who exercise more are more careful about their health and are more aware of how much they are drinking

Pretty much all sports clubs I had been in had a culture of drinking when I was young. I am speaking about getting drunk fairly regularly. Now that I am not members of organized groups, I still see people going for beer and socializing after training.

Sport leads to socialization which leads to drinking. Sport attracts competitive personalities and they get competitive in drinking as extension. Some sports attracts guys who have sort of masculinity that treats drinking as a right kind of guy thing - the women in same sports tend to treat drinking as cool thing too.

I could continue, but health is only one of many reasons to exercise.
"Home video/community space" obviously encompasses independent content creators, wherever and whatever they're creating. I mean, 90% of PewDiePie's videos are him at home. Why does the venue of a zoo define the category? In any case, independent creators going out in the world, zoos or elsewhere, creating content is representative of the divide between big studio content and independents.
It sold social housing and stopped building more of it. If you had asked about real estate 10 years ago you'd hear about how Germany solved the housing problem.

The Russell Group is a group of 24 universities, and this is attributed to Russell Group School of Informatics 'internal documents' of which there's not even a hint extant on the wider internet that I can find (the other articles are straight up re-rolls of the telegraph one).

Do I find it plausible that a group of activists at the Russell Group bureaucracy level have written this bit of silliness into a set of guidelines? Sure.

Do I think that "Edinburgh’s computer scientists banned" is an accurate reflection of the current situation? It's certainly a possibility, but not one I'd give much weight to without rather more definitive information than this.

Similar situation for York -- tourist hotspot, a large chunk of the local jobs in tourism/customer service, retail, food service etc.
Article in the local press in the last year (which I obviously can't find now) found that something like 95% of the properties on sale were unaffordable on the median wage of a local resident.

Funny thing is, this article happens to be a total submarine -- I recognise the development they're describing, it's been there for years and has not sold well (totally overpriced) -- this article and others like it are just an attempt to drum up further demand.

Really frustrating that when we have so many people needing housing, homes are built entirely with the objective of selling them to people who already have homes elsewhere!

Again, if the AI spits out “copyrighted code”, I’d suggest that the code in question is insufficiently creative to be copyrighted to begin with.

Put another way, copyright only applies to creative expressions, not functional expressions. It does not matter how creative the idea is. If the work of authorship is software that embodies the function (and no other expression), it is not copyrightable.

So where is the line between creative and functional expression in software? The law does not provide clear guidance. Ultimately, it’s up to a judge.

Git works great for binary files. However, it struggles with large repositories (beyond 5 GB). So large files are a problem, and binary files are often large. But the binariness itself is no problem.

(5 GB is github's "recommended" limit. You can push beyond it, but things will get sluggish and it might not work everywhere.)

git-lfs is clunky and awkward, but may still be the best solution for large files.
This is not limited to Apple but would apply to all smartphone producers. I would even say that Apple has to be a lot less concerned (about the update rule at least) than manufacturers of Android phones. Those are outright terrible in that regard. The oldest iPhone model that will get the iOS 15 update will be the iPhone 6s and it was launched back in 2015 already.
And that's for each page that uses it I assume, so If you have 10 pages using Arc, that's not going to be imperceptible.
The problem is, if I want to use the term "literally" in a literal sense now, nobody will recognize its literal meaning, and everybody will assume it's being used metaphorically. You literally can't use "literally" in the literal sense of the term anymore.
Yeah Go just has those as internal dependencies in the stdlib.

That _is_ the tradeoff - Rust builds up from nothing and makes it friction-less to add a new dependency. Go starts at a higher level and the friction for adding new stuff is high. And some of the high-level stuff, like the GC, can't be removed.

Anti-competitive behavior is the normal way businesses operate. It only becomes notable or illegal when they have a monopoly position, which I don’t believe describes Google in 2005.

> Due to all the new hires my teams role and my own role has been diminished in importance and neglected to the point our existence is an open question.

Can you stick it out long enough to find a job that’s more motivating for you, possibly by transferring to another team or moving to another company entirely?

> I don’t like being the guy to throw in the towel but I don’t think I can contribute to this team anymore.

> I just helplessness in it all.

I’d like to convince you you’re not helpless. You can stick around 5 months (Feb you said) and on the side, look for another role. And it’s great you have good compensation now, but there’s a good chance you get paid as much over even 15% more in your next role.

One thing I do recommend is to not get is attached to your job that it starts defining who you are or that swings in office priorities, leadership, etc. impact feelings of feeling helpless or excessively confident.

And avoid lifestyle creep. If you live below your means, even leaving a toxic job for a one better for your mental health, even if it pays less, won’t be a financial dent… maybe ego but nothing than really matters.
Yeah I have to say I am for this in the vein of reducing centralization. Yes in a way it is akin to a crypto-miner, but the future internet could literally be distributed in this way, so props to them.

I can't see how it would be better than if huge swaths of people didn't do anything and lived in squalor. Who cares how much it affects the GDP. Honestly I'd probably find it more rewarding to operate a train for some people than all of the professional programming work I've done.
The 10 queens situation is obviously impossible, but so is having 2 white queens and black has all of his pawns on the starting squares.

It's more difficult than you're thinking. If white has 6 dark squared bishops, they you know that he promoted at least 5 pawns on dark squares so one pawn must have taken a piece since it's promoting on a dark square instead of a white one. Not every board set-up will have enough missing pieces that 5 pawns can maneuver to get promoted on dark squares.

Yeah, done all that, it was never as smooth as an actual device. It's fine though, more screens for development and one dedicated to testing which is more comfortable for me at least(disclosure I only occasionally do apps, just a once in a while "hey that'd be cool to have").
Funny thing is, Rust and JS are both given that comment.

Seeing how they are different languages, there's not a single language feature that explains this dependency gluttony.

I'd like to open up the option that it is a necessary side-effect of large ecosystems: more devs using the language, more packages published, more quality in small packages. And then, when building a large-ish package, it only makes sense to use existing packages rather than reinventing the wheel.

And so, driven by nothing but good will and best practices, since you have a lot of prebuilt "assets" at your disposal ,your project ends up with 100s of deps and everybody complains.
The critics are right that the build times are slow even in debug mode, and that it's one of the most frustrating things about the language even for experienced users.

There are some alternate codegen backends that aim to fix this by compiling less-optimized debug builds more quickly.

What is the reason to downvote this?
Nah, it’s not absurd; it’s accurate.

The Telegraph of late is a deliberately inflammatory campaigning newspaper. This story is a great example of that - it uses precisely-picked language in an attempt to goad you into a “WOKERATI PC GONE MAD” reaction, which has unfortunately been successful.

In reality what has happened is a group of people has said “as academics we should be mindful of the legacy and effects of the language we use and the bias it can contain”. They want you to be mad about that, and it’s so silly to give them what they want.

That doesn’t sound like _the_ purpose of the acquisition, it was one of the arguments in the conversation but not the sole reason.

Given that YouTube has not been killed and Google has heavily invested in it and there were some legal minefields with Youtubes content early on that Google would then take on, I think it’s reasonable to conclude that they didn’t acquire it just to mess with Yahoo
What an amazing story and what a brilliant mind. I wish all the best to Tang and hope he would bring more wonders later on.
You need to add more code examples. Perhaps I'm reading too much from the 2 line example, but it looks quite pythonic? Is that correct? What are the main differences with Python?

Why is it implemented in V?

I think it's too early to find contributors. Try to find users. Some users became power users. Some power users became contributors.

It's not like we have to choose: Google and Yahoo can both have been anti-competitive, so what does it matter if Yahoo did, or didn't, consider things from the same angle?

They are literally talking about making a decision on the basis of eliminating a competitor from the market via a purchase they thought might have little/no other value. I think that is a reasonable working definition for examples if anti-competitive behavior.
Meanwhile, natural language isn't formal language, and people understand meanings of statements just as much as they did yesterday.
There are even times when this is the right move. Sometimes you can put them in check by promoting to a knight, for example, where a queen would not. Common in beginner puzzles.
That would be clearcut if they had acquired YT and then promptly buried it. Instead, they invested in it massively, and built it over several years into a profitable aspect of their business. That doesn't look "anti-competitive" to me (given the usual assumptions of 21st century US capitalism).

Thanks to people like Marcan who put the effort in debugging and getting them fixed. Although it's a shame that the time-frame wasn't reasonable to Marcan and it seems to have influenced his decision to not indulge in such activities further.

To be fair Vsauce ruined itself a long time ago. Obviously the next step for a popular channel is to turn it into a company that churns out content for money, but it kills the charm and quality.

Should just stick to (relative to big orgs) low budget and take in those views.

Phillip DeFranco's stuff was good until he started a million offshoots and it wasn't personal anymore. Then it was just mediocre unorganic (as in how pop bands are formed by talent scouts) stuff.
I think the goal is estimating all legal moves, not all you'd find in a typical game.

It would be interesting to define parameters for a "good move" and see how many there are, though!
I mean the risk the banks take today offering a fixed 30 year note at a very low rate, if there is significant inflation or rate increases anytime soon. It seems like a very good deal for the buyer right now and for the last decade.
To the downvoters: can you clarify how my comment triggered your downvote?
> Basically: "YouTube has some nice features but we're already building them and just want the company so Yahoo can't have them."

That's not what it says. If you want to go that basic:

"Youtube is doing better at innovating here than us, but we have some stuff they don't, and if we acquired them we'd get the best of both worlds and deny it to Yahoo"
Looks like it’s closer to 20B in 2020 but it’s also got a different type of competition now (tiktok, like a dozen first class streaming subscriptions & more lower tier options).
Yes. If you only have eight pawns, then you can only get eight extra pieces as a result of promotion.
To reply to a subcomment which has been deleted since then:

> in the latest decolonisation drive

This is a comment by the narrator and not a political argument presented by the activists. Arguments on the "pro" side have apparently been quoted from a university communique, while the "contras" have been individually interviewed for arguments.

It is common in journalism (i would say ethical, but i'm not familiar with that domain's standards) when interviewing people criticizing "something", to also interview people who agree with "something" (or are responsible for it) and ask them about those critiques.

> Removing X from does not make something less Yish unless X is inherently Yish.

Noone suggested calling two characters "Alice" and "Bob" was "inerhently" colonialist. It is suggested that always naming them that way, and not leaving room for other personas, hinders the capability of people from a different cultural background to identify with the characters (though it does not nullify it).

Being more flexible about names in scenarios is a drive for diversity, which is correlated with a drive for decolonization. Decolonization does entail making the global north more aware that other civilizations/cultures have existed and continue to exist on this planet, which can be helped by using more diverse characters.

That does not mean that naming your characters Alice and Bob is inherently colonialist, or that naming them Abdel and Barbara is inherently anti-colonialist. Human and political context matters.
Yeah, it is reasonable to conclude that an article worth the headline prefix “woke wars” has no interest in doing anything other than riling you up.

Luckily I bought from Costco and since Dell no offered a better solution before 90 days I returned the laptop.

Some of tidbits are just painfully comical:

> Afghans learned early on that the easiest way to eliminate a rival or to grab a piece of land was to tell the Americans that he was a member of the Taliban.

> Others learned how to make money exploiting US aid efforts. One guy had his brother blow up a bridge, the Americans rushed in to get it fixed, hiring a construction firm owned by the first guy to do the job.

As a library author, I sometimes wonder if I should be introducing more feature flags into my crate to let people only use the bits that they want, in order to help compile times. The whole thing doesn't take very long to compile (~20 seconds), but maybe the added complexity of juggling feature flags might be worth it.
