A side comment, but I find the design in most of Wolfram's work very aesthetically pleasing. For example this website: https://www.wolframphysics.org and all the "artwork" of the graphs and explanations of his work in the Visual Gallery (https://www.wolframphysics.org/visual-gallery/) is beautiful.
Wow! Thank you so much for this comment. I have been using IntelliJ for over 10 years and I never knew this feature existed, I just gave it a try and it's incredibly useful.

One thing I wish Java debuggers supported was the ability to move the instruction pointer to a different line, as has been possible in other debuggers for ages. Is it a JVM limitation maybe? I remember being able to drag the "current line" pointer forwards or backwards in languages like C, C++, and C# in maybe 2003. I wish I could do this with Java; dropping the whole frame is useful but this feature lets you do a lot more, like break out of a loop or skip a block of code you _just_ realized shouldn't execute.
And some people pretend to do all those things so that they can hopefully one day do nothing at all.
I just use American-style except in cases where it would introduce confusion, since it does in fact look better on the page.

UAE is a US ally and so they likely do not want to put a chill on their relations.

It does look like it has Mozilla's XUL as a component. However, I've got no idea about the history of how it got there.
Your value to the company is also constrained if the company pretend they can't afford your real worth, while they pay that worth to comparable employees. You don't know the worth you should be demanding because there's no transparency. The person was being cheated by their employer here.

More security layers doesn’t always == better security

The “nth nth and nth” character of your password means they’re storing your password in plaintext, and Auntie Nora is more likely to have it written on a postit cos she can’t use a password manager.

“Name of your first school” etc type questions are obviously awful

My favorite is HSBC kept asking me to enable “voice identification” every time I phoned up as a “more secure way” of authenticating myself...which to me smells like a cat and mouse game between who has the better ML model. Oh also https://www.computing.co.uk/news/3010450/hsbc-voice-recognit...
Yes, too snarky, and that sort of repetition is a rhetorical device that acts as a hammer. It is a device for political battle, not curious conversation. No one speaks that way in a conversation.

The thing about comments like that is that they polarize the discussion even further, because those who agree with you will become intensified in their agreement while those who disagree with you will react the way people react when someone hammers them repeatedly. This kind of polarization makes curious conversation impossible, because curious conversation has to do with maintaining connection across differences.
This announcement seems badly timed given the OMIGOD vulnerability:

Treat it as "have (access to)", because that's obviously what was meant.

I think it's not really about not enough money, because if everyone at the bottom had more money, prices at the bottom would increase to compensate, ensuring it stays just out of reach for many, and just at the edge of achievable for others.

I'm not against injections of money, I think it's a good idea. But I don't expect it would solve the housing affordability problem, unfortunately.
I think you are right, I might've got it mixed up!
The EU — which doesn’t include all European nations — has 24 official languages and 3 official character sets. The Danish name for the EU contains an æ (“Den Europæiske Union”). Prior heads of state of current members include Μακάριος Γ΄, with the gamma translating as “III” (i.e. “the third”). The UK has a very relaxed attitude to name changing, hence the story of Mr. Yellow-Rat Foxysquirrel Fairydiddle.

Unless Musk tries to name future kids in Emoji, European nations can probably already cope with any of this sort of thing.
Makes sense, I have also heard first hand reports of this. Its very sad.
I’ve run into several performance regressions from 8 -> 11 -> beyond

Code still worked but services would easily get overloaded, there would be one piece of code which ran crazy slow, or new memory issues would come up.

It absolutely is not just safe to jump versions in production, usually it’s been weeks of testing finding and fixing perf bugs.

Thank you! I've been fortunate enough to not experience covid, though I've had quite a few family members with cases ranging from annoying and acute to quite devastating and chronic. I appreciate your input; though it's anecdotal, it does help give some greater sense for the individual experience of covid. Although let me not be crass: you have my greatest sympathies for your ill-experiences. I sincerely hope that you're well-recovered, and I wish the best for your loved ones.
This article is from 2012, 9 years old. Thing might have changed a lot after that.
> Another issue is the change in temperature.

The changes in temperature are exaggerated. If you cover the telescope during day with some type of cover (like space blanket [1]), then everything that's not in direct light will stay at the same temperature as during the lunar night. For the simple reason that there's no air on the moon to transfer heat, and the regolith is a very good insulator.

So you could end up using the telescope 14 days out of 28 and be done with it.

But what's more, you can set up the space blanket to only protect the part of the telescope that's in direct sunlight. For the rest of the telescope it will appear like it's perfect night, because there's not atmosphere to disperse the rays of the sun. So you can end up using the telescope during the lunar day as well, although not at full exposure.

I was mostly wondering if there were any that didn't sell your data, like location and traffic data. I understand that to truly be reasonably secure you would have to take the steps you mentioned... and still wouldn't help with location tracking.

I was mostly just interested if there was a company that was focused on consumer protection, then I would prefer to support them by switching to them.
It's not that weird if you look into it. Imagine a username "index.html", so the URL to their profile is `gitlab.com/index.html`.

Github has the exact same issue, and they solved it by just restricting usernames to alphanumeric characters and hyphens (but IIRC, there are some existing profiles with unreachable URLs from before they made the change).

Gitlab decided to just restrict known file extensions, which IMO is not the best idea, but it's also not that unreasonable.

> That they don't seem to understand what a MIME type is just adds to this perception.

That's not fair, people misspeak/mistype things all the time.
Well, I hope that New York will pass a law that will make enough cobalt to satisfy battery demand exist. I suppose they may not need that law if they only want enough cars to chauffeur celebrities in clown costumes to the Met Gala.
In a nutshell, Church asserted effective computability by saying "look what you can do with the lambda calculus". Turing took the philosophical approach saying "this is what it means to compute".
To Godel, Church's argument was incomplete. Turing provided the direct argument. Godel was convinced.
No, they are deceitfully agreeing to be transparent in wages. The deception is that it's secretly to not allow people to leverage their offers or ask for more.
I think that would get attention, although I wouldn't want there to be panic ;)
> Nobody is buying an XBox to stream Netflix solely.

What if I want to? I don't particularly care what the manufacturer thinks, I bought the machine. Why does Microsoft gets a pass to dictate what I can do with the hardware I bought?

See for example people that bought PS3s for operating distributed clusters (because at the time the console WAS open) and then Sony locked down other OSes with an update. Why is this fair?

I haven't said there is anything dishonest about the ONS report, simply that the data is out of date.

Propaganda is simply information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicise a particular political cause or point of view.

DBT has two main innovations. First, everything is a SELECT statement and DBT handles all the DDL for you. You can handle DDL yourself if you have a special case too. Second, the ref/source macros build a DAG of all your models so you don't have to think about build order. There are other innovations but those are the main ones.

You can give it truly pure SQL in both models and scripts, and mixing in Jinja if you need it for dynamic models. But I'd recommend at least using ref/source.
> 4-letter-long and above prepositions are capitalized. Can't remember where I got that rule, but they're probably using that; I use it for my music collection.

This is the guide I follow, and it would only capitalize preposition five characters or longer:

Who's to say they're not doing that already and just not telling you? At least this way there's no denying the company one's working for doesn't value them more than they value empty credentials. You can find another employer who doesn't play those games.

This study looks at deaths. The death rate for someone with two doses of the vaccine is ~ 1%.

I do wonder though, what's my risk of having serious symptoms in a breakthrough case? I know it's lower, but is it 10%? 5%? I have no idea.
I’d forgotten about that, thanks. Whenever I read the name “Bob Dole” I hear it in Norm’s voice without realizing it until now.
The law being discussed here only applies if the company employs someone on Colorado. So it would be hard to make the case that the company is trying not to do business in Colorado.
Exactly, and that's my point: the individual's unwillingness to sacrifice is directly correlated with the government's unwillingness to force them to. Why would people who don't care vote for people who would take their conveniences from them?

I can see it now, there a bunch of tasks in Trello to do, and all the shit jobs go to the guy that's getting 10k more than than his manager. They guy getting paid the least gets all the easy jobs so his productivity looks better so he can ask for the pay rise at the end of the yet.

Meanwhile, Everybody else is doing the bare minimum to close the ticket so they can look good when it comes to pay review time.
I'm not so sure. I could see the typical response being a compromise where the governments tolerate the unenforcability of their laws' against remote parties so long as the remote employer still pays local taxes. This would be to prevent a "just pay me in cryptocurrency" alternative from becoming popular.
As someone who was recruited to a financial firm a year ago to execute a modernization effort, I think the difference is due to (simplified) two types of firms: Big ones with huge moats often protected by regulators and profitability, and ones that are insecure. There is a pretty big population of companies that are at huge risk of being disrupted in the best sense of that term, and that's why they need to modernize. Many of these outdated core systems don't have modern capabilities, such as being desktop apps that can't integrate with the web or provide/use APIs without heavy refactoring anyway.
(I'm one of the developers on Seq.) We've actually been working mostly on closing the gap with Python for the last year or so. Seq can be useful for plain Python programs as well -- I give a bit more context in my comment above.
The real choice turned out you don’t need to solve a lot of the problems and don’t need an ecosystem and don’t need to create a problem that doesn’t need to be solved.

Glancing though the report you linked, it says 55-70% reduction in symptomatic disease after 1 dose and more after 2. Higher effectiveness against severe disease, hospitalisation and death. For delta, they quote a 10-15% drop of effectiveness after two/one doses respectively. That seems in line with the “official” line and different to your numbers? Or am I reading you wrong?

Another nugget in there is that something like 95-97 of the population has Covid antibodies, from either disease or vaccination. I’m surprised actually that is is going as strong as it is still. I know antibodies are no silver bullet, but that means that a huge proportion of the country has either been sick already or had a vaccine recently. That seems as good as it can be for a “herd immunity” case, and yet infections are high. Hmm...

XML is awful for structured text with metadata. Half of the time you don't know whether your object properties were -or should be- stored as element attributes, element children or a CDATA block when trying to access it programmatically.

Defining a sane schema fit for all the places and use cases where it will be needed is an exercise in frustration. Lightweight markup won for structured text because it is simple to use, and you can expand it in a piecemeal fashion as needed. See Worse-is-better and the adoption of the C language for how this happens.

This happens even for well-designed lightweight markup; everybody prefers Markdown over asciidoc because you only need to learn like 5 syntax elements to get it up and running, even if it forces you to to add by hand later all the functions that were already available in asciidoc.
> But your value should not be measured by how much somebody else is getting paid, but by how much another company is willing to pay you.

Who are you to say that? Is the invisible hand prescriptive now? What if I value fair treatment over marginal nominal compensation? What if I don't know how much to ask for when I'm looking for work because I'm so underpaid that my perception of the market is fucked?

Geoffrey de Smet, Optaplanner, and Constraint Programming (CP) are all amazing indeed. If we're talking about underhyped tech that actually works wonders in practical business problems, I would also take advantage of the limelight to include the whole CP field (including other solvers like Gecode), SAT solvers (MiniSat, Lingeling, Glucose, Chaff, ...) and SMT software (MiniZinc, Z3, ...), and Operations Research / mixed-integer programming (MIP) in which unfortunately open source software lags behind the stat of the art (Gurobi, Fico XPress).

If a system is not really changed a lot, if the attitude is to keep what is currently working and avoid risk of anything breaking through change, then I ask: What is that "test of time"? What is it, that needs to be stood here? If nothing new is introduced to the system, then most likely it would still work in thousands of years. That is no achievement in itself. All deterministic software does this.
A claim that it is "preposterous" is itself preposterous and works only if you are ignorant.

Dolphins have language, complex society & culture, self-awareness, use tools, use names for themselves & each other, have higher brain/body-mass ratio vs humans, invent games, act ethically, cooperate across species, and that's just the start of the list when we're only just starting to research the topic.

With all of those components of intelligence (and some features even more advanced vs human capabilities), it should not take much intelligence to see how having opposable thumbs and the ability to write and build on information is a very small step in terms of actual intelligence, BUT that this yields massive visible differences in abilities to change one's environment. (It's still to be seen if this is an actual survival advantage - the Great Filter may still be ahead of us, and be accidental suicide by technology misapplication).

Also, claiming that a single point "invalidates" all other arguments commits a number of fallacies, including Overgeneralization, Non-Sequitor, and Argument from Incredulity...

If you want to feel like it's OK to kill and promote killing of other species for no good reason, it'd be better to just own it than to attempt justifying it with dismissive displays of ignorance.

The main problem with Firefox is Gecko.

Technically it's a great rendering engine, fast, standards-compliant, maybe only slightly more buggy than Webkit. Unfortunately it has a different set of bugs than webkit. Web developers have just so much time to debug the apps. Once the app works for ~90% of users on webkit, spending as much time or more testing and debugging for ~7% of FF users is not always justified.

This is a catch 22: FF users get more bugs - more pressure to move to Chrome, fewer users on FF - less money to develop Gecko leading to more bugs. My prediction is that FF will either drop Gecko or die.

Facebook is fundamentally a dead platform, as far as I can tell. I've got over 500 "friends" and I see almost nothing on the news feed, to the point where it remains static aside from the shifting ads, for days at a time.

There's a chilling effect at some level with the way that Facebook has a defacto "real name" policy, combined with the fact that it's your real-life family and friends and normies that you are connected with. Only the most disagreeable bother posting outside of the realm of baby pictures and recipes and small-business self-promotion.
In a way one's politics has usurped one's religion. People are getting upset at others having differing political opinions the way they get upset at others having different religious beliefs.

It is ridiculous for anyone to argue workers by and large would be disadvantaged by having the same information about the market employers have.
