Getting NLP to challenge misinformed questions
Don't really agree. In a startup, CTO is often the most technical co-founder and may be a manager, may manage VP Eng, but the role is not well defined; it's whatever the technical co-founder feels most adept at.

Later on, the situation may be inverted, i.e. CTO might report to VP Eng. Usually, VP Eng reports to CEO. The point is that operational management of engineering usually flows from VP Eng, and not very often from the CTO. If the CTO does manage, it's a small shrub on the larger org tree.
To be honest, i used json schema for auto generating layouts.

Eg. https://github.com/rjsf-team/react-jsonschema-form
I generally prefer using JSON in my interactions, where possible.

That's because it is lightweight, and 99.9% of the data I'm transferring is scalar. JSON is basically "implied" for scalar types.

The good thing (if you want to call it "good") about XML, is Schema.

Schema is a "rock hard" contract. It is definite, empirical, unambiguous. When I am looking at an API, and it has a Schema, then I know that I can figure out exactly what shape the data will take/emit.

If possible, I still use JSON for the exchange. I just use the XML to figure out the specifics in the exchange.

I've been working in XML forever, it seems. I've done ONVIF stuff, which is SOAP/WSDL-based, and even XSLT.

I still like JSON.

Mostly because I don't have to deal with Schema.

Over the years, I've gotten fairly good at developing XML Schemas, but I have never gotten "used" to it, and still have to look everything up.

If I develop APIs, I will often do an XML variant, alongside the JSON, because that forces me to write a Schema. Doing this, helps me to "code review" my schema, and also gives me a very convenient automated test hook.

But, boy, I still hate XML Schema...
Yeah, which is not a cycle. It's a linear path with the landfill at the end. I doubt there's even many examples with more than two hops before the landfill. That's why I call it "reprocessing", not recycling. According to that article, only 8.4% of plastic can be reprocessed. So that's 91.4.% with one hop to the landfill, 8.4% with two hops. It's not recycling by any stretch but they've been allowed to hijack the word.

Neither is 'non negative' - but that should also be a built-in, considering how verbose the language becomes otherwise.

Now you're adding ~5 lines of boilerplate every time you want to have an integer, another 5 for positive integers, and so on.

It's "reasonable" in the sense of being slightly less draconian but completely unreasonable from a health perspective.

Think about it: two people enter a workplace. One is unvaccinated but recently tested, so it can be said with good confidence they are not infected. The other is vaccinated but may well be sick and spreading it, especially as effectiveness wanes quickly. The other is waved through, the first is penalized with constant charges. Who is making other people the safest here? It's not the vaccinated guy.

There is no cycle for bank B there.

It went from

Bank B $1m deposit
[$100k required reserves + $900k excess reserves]

to

Bank B $1m deposit with 900k loan (90%)
[$100k required reserves + zero excess reserves]

and it's still there at the end. It doesn't have excess reserves, it cannot make new loans if it cannot get more money.

To be clear, my original comment was: "The money created doesn’t necessarily go back to the bank. When you take a loan you use the money for something, not to keep it in an account at that bank. It will typically end in another bank."

The bank =/= A bank

One bank =/= The banking system

[Of course when another bank gets more reserves it increases their capacity to extend new loans. The question was whether a bank with $1m in deposits can lend $9m, not whether the whole banking system could.]

Due to it's high transmissibility, pretty much everyone will be exposed to it. When it happens, you'll be in much better shape if you're vaccinated because dying from it is not the only complication.

To put it plainly, problem with COVID-19 is that it makes your own immune system damage your body as it scrambles defenses, confused. With vaccine, much less so.
Yep. Seemed like it was going to be this benevolent futuristic software company back in the day. That's how they positioned themselves.

As far as I understand it, the synthetic mode compresses better for (as you can guess) synthetic content. So if you're encoding a mixed content screenshot, you'll get better quality and size by encoding the photos and UI separately.
I use jsonschema to validate my projects' output, and also generate the documentation from it. The python jsonschema support makes this possible: our testsuite is in Python already.

But it's an awkward fit, and I despair of having anyone else in my team write schemas: the default of allowing additional unspecified fields must be continually overridden, otherwise your schema has no teeth, and things like "if this field is this value, these additional fields exist" must then always have an "else" indicating that no additional fields exist.

In summary, it's better than nothing, but it's not easy. I'm not sure that JSON is a great language to specify schemas in, sorry.
Can you give me an example of muscles that yoga exercises that a good strength training routine won't?

This. In a programming context, "crypto" always refers to cryptography.

>Might does not make right in questions of rule of law

Sure it does. The laws are written by those who can enforce them. That is by definition those with Might. If that is barbarism then all of earth is under barbarism (and I'd argue that this is true).

History is full of good examples. The Nuremberg trials is a great example of Might Is Right. The exact same laws used against the Nazis never were enforced on US citizens.

Regardless of whether these complaints have merit or not, I never understood people who crap on their employer in public using social media.

It's one thing to have a complaint (or several) you bring up internally through the right channels, it's something else entirely to run a continuous campaign of shaming a company that you currently work for. How anyone can go to work at a company every day while also actively working against it is beyond me — not to mention how her relationships with her colleagues are impacted by her tweeting.

She calls herself a whistleblower, but was also tweeting about issues that were still under internal investigation at the time, and which was confidential. That's absolutely the wrong way to go about things.

Because the only thing that really matters is that the health system survives. It has never been about individuals. It’s not about you. Vaccines protect from hospitalization, reducing the massive stress forced upon hospitals and health professionals. When a hospital has to deal with a large influx of Covid patients they have to dedicate a lot of their resources (mostly humans), which eventually causes a complete bottleneck: all resources are dedicated to people dying from covid and other patients have to be rejected, lot of them dying.

It’s really not something you want in your country or state. See what happened to Italy, India, Brazil, or is currently happening in overseas French territories, it’s a horrible situation to be in.
That is very funny but speaking in practical terms, and not about UX, how does a feature like this work in practice? Does Allah respond to prayers emitted by electronics? Or is the idea that the human is supposed to recite the prayer along with the recording?

Rewriting as Computation
We don't "celebrate" Napoleon or any other historical figure at all. They are mentioned in history books and promptly forgotten after graduation, they have statues that are just part of the scenery, they have streets and high schools named after them that no one give a second thought about, they are talked about for a couple of days when the media figure it is the Nth anniversary of this or that, etc.

They are just part of a background the layman doesn't cares about.

So titles like "Why don't the French celebrate Lafayette?" tell more about the author/editor of the article than about its subject.
Many countries with very high vaccination rates, Spain and the UK for example, have much higher case numbers this summer than last:

https://ourworldindata.org/covid-cases

And testing rates are probably even lower now that many people have been vaccinated.

This argument is not going to convince the unvaccinated, who are tired of incoherent "scientific" information that changes every month. The field of virology is apparently in its infancy.
> Throw people in jail for malice

They are conducting a fraud against their shareholders. It is a public company and these people are proporting to be professionals while maintaining that they need the absolute most basic of basic concepts in their professional field explained to them.

> Why isn’t it the place of the government just to help businesses adhere to the laws rather than taking an adversarial role?

The business in question believes that the laws do not apply to them and that they are above the regulation. It is not an honest mistake they are making, it is a deliberate attempt to avoid the law. It is malice.

The crucial difference between cardiovascular diseases and severe COVID is that COVID comes in waves. In a very short period of time a large number of people can end up with the virus, thus having a significant chance to develop serious pneumonia. All at the same time, in a very short time span. While lots of people suffer from cardiovascular diseases and cancer every year, they are distributed over the year. You don't usually see thousands of people having strokes in a given area in the span of a week or two, for instance.

It's this sudden surge of people needing ventilators and ICU beds that overwhelms the healthcare system of an area, causing repercussions on those that are sick for other reasons or get injured in accidents. For instance, in Italy cancer screenings on vulnerable subjects have been postponed for months, if not a year, due to the ongoing pandemic. Who knows how many people have now a higher risk of cancer due to hospitals and clinics being overwhelmed by COVID patients.

COVID vaccines are not sterilizing, but it's getting quite clear that they somewhat reduce the circulation of the virus too by reducing the viral load of symptomatic and asymptomatic carriers. At least they greatly greatly reduce the strain on doctors and avoid disruption of society at large, which is by itself a solid choice for mandating them.

The only possible choices here are to a. neglect the virus, with potentially serious social repercussions and loss of human lives, or b. resort to containment measures, which hamper the economy and are deeply unfair towards vaccinated people which objectively risk much less from the virus, or c. mandate vaccination, which is the only choice that avoids lockdowns and (most) deaths.

Also, vaccine mandates aren't anything new. That's how rubella, diphtheria, polio, smallpox, mumps, .. have become a thing of the past. They've been put in place on for decades, and no-vax movements have always been small and irrelevant before before social media came with droves of dubious content.

How is this different from requiring hard hats? A hard hat won’t save you from getting a cut on your head from a dropped hammer but it will save you from having it break your head in two. Should OSHA stop requiring PPE?
Needing to drill a hole in a wall separating two rooms in order to feed a cable through it recently made me think about using an array of ESP32 in order to attempt to create a mapping of the inside of the wall, so that I don't hit any pipes or electrical cables by accident.

The walls we have here are of concrete with steel, so the traditional, cheap wiring / object detectors are basically useless.

I wonder if this is possible without dedicating months of tinkering and possibly ending with the need to learn about AI to interpret the data.

Well that's a very good question. At the moment the reality is something of a mess, because someone looked at Arm and though that must be a good idea. Plus the RISC-V Foundation has even less control over implementers than Arm does (which doesn't have a lot).

The good news is that the foundation is defining various platform specs. For servers it'll include a standard firmware spec plus open source firmware implementation and a few other bits.

Should be noted that this is a pretty strange case. The case came originally from the police, the politician was just asked later to report it too, because law demands it. And that insult is really, really weak, even by German standards. The raid was also unnecessary, as they already had the culprits' statement of guilty. And on top they even raided the wrong house.

On the side, looking up the culprit, he seems to be a political activist, from the left spectrum which has many bad blood in the city where this happened. So my guess is, this case has a political background, and the insult was just a pretext to justify the means.
We are supposed to have one bomber sub at sea at all times but a Royal Navy submariner once told me that we quite often don't have this due to cuts in maintenance budgets causing the vessels to be out of service quite frequently. Also, bombers carry IRBMs not ICBMs so that one boat needs to be within 5000 miles of whoever might launch nukes at us, so the whole strategy is a bit farcical really.
Equity only Cofounder | Growth / Product / CTO | Fully remote

RailsRocket is a no-code app builder that creates real Ruby on Rails apps. Our aim is to make app building super easy while keeping the benefits of open source code. We have an MVP in place and a few early customers. Got through to interview stage for the last YC batch and just reapplied to W22 batch.

Looking for one or two motivated, formidable, investible co-founders to take it to the next level. Here are the roles:

𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 / 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 - Finding, onboarding and communicating with our first customers is key. Scaling that process will then follow shortly. I need someone who’s done this before who is willing to start small but with the experience to scale up rapidly.

𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 / 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 - A strong visual designer who can make the product, website and marketing materials look beautiful. Someone with experience designing and managing technical products - think Stripe or Mixpanel. Happy to take on product management, roadmapping, feature design, managing developers, getting your hands dirty with front end code.

𝗖𝗧𝗢 / 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 - I’m technical and capable of building out the product myself but the scope of the product is large and there’s loads to do. For the right technical candidate I’d happily give up the CTO role. The ideal candidate would be hands on with team-building experience with specifics in Web Hosting, Compiler/Parser tech, and solid RoR and React experience.

My sci-if part of my brain tells me that in 10-20 years we’ll see small box-like devices that you attach to a key/peep hole or perhaps with a built in silent needle puncher that creates a small hole on-demand. Perhaps with a moving laser that would imagine still objects too.

Combine that with AR glasses and you would have a useful pre-breach tool for police/military.
