Especially once you realize the difference between super purpose drive micro game code (a big event loop with lots of variables at the top) and game code with well designed scaffolding (entity component systems, etc). I think everyone is destined to make at least one gobbledegook game before they can appreciate all the benefits that a well designed system brings. I recommend pico-8 or similarly designed constraint driven virtual consoles to maximize the learning experience.
Influenza and coronavirus 'compete' by forcing people to alter their behavior, thus removing potential carriers from the general population before the other virus can reach them. The more infectious virus wins this competition.
I had a very similar experience (using a piece of copper pipe). We made a strategic error in testing it in my friend's driveway at 11 pm. My friend's dad was a chemistry professor, so he could only be so upset about it...

Just recently quit my job as Head Of Eng at a startup that grew from 5 -> 20 engineers, 25x user growth this year and raised $8M.

Working on my own startup but looking to take on 10-15 hours/week of contract work. Happy to help with most things JS/Typescript/node.js/React/React Native, recruiting/hiring, eng leadership, product design, anything startupy in my area of expertise really.

Previously, co-founder of PeerCDN (acquired by Yahoo), Stanford CS, consulting at Notion and other places.

Yeah, right, why do we still have a bunch of common cold viruses then? Any argument referring the interventions has to also explain why _only_ flu disappeared out of huge variety of respiratory viruses.

Here's an intro https://hannes.hauswedell.net/post/2019/11/30/range_intro/
In all seriousness, in what way is defi interacting with the non-defi world right now to provide value? I'm not too informed about the space, but from a distance it seems like every defi innovation so far is just building on top of something else in the defi space.

Classic answers like "banking the unbanked in third world countries" don't seem to be shaking out yet.
ctype is trivially non-localizable to locales with codesets larger than sizeof(unsigned char) anyways. Maybe the problem here is POSIX.

I'm a self-taught software developer since 2005. I specialized a few years ago in Cloud technologies and DevOps methodology. I'm very interested in automation and follow the KISS principle as much as I can.

I've started my own small business, as a software editor, with an associate that I've known and worked with for the last 9 years. Therefore, I'm available for part-time freelance jobs (ideally 2 days/week, but 3 days/week is acceptable too).
> Members of board of directors of the big corporations are a protected class because they financially contribute to the cause

Uhhhh this person has to be trolling, right?
If these jobs are sooo important, the market should pay for them. Or is Britain going to be a centrally-planned economy, that dictates people which jobs to have?
It's a quote from the abstract. I found "influenza lineage extinction" difficult to parse, but the abstract expands it into clear English.

>"In particular, the B/Yamagata lineage has not been isolated from April 2020 to August 2021, suggesting that this influenza lineage may have become extinct,"
Given the UK government has claimed there are "very large and even larger shortages in other EU countries like Poland and Germany", evidence for or against that (e.g. if governments feel the need for such measures) are probably relevant to public discussion in the UK about this ;)
That’s basically borrowed off Ruby. (Which isn’t a bad thing.)
This has been a threat for 20+ years, certainly everyone I worked with had outgoing ssh tunnels through the socks proxy, with reverse port forwarding, back then.

If your network is reliant on a high firewall and nothing inside, you've already lost.
You are right that Tesla has some inherent value to fall back to but cryptocurrencies do not.

But still Tesla is probably valued several times too high.
Tesla has almost three times the market cap of Toyota right now.
The article mentions that the influenza B virus has no known animal reservoir.
Sounds like messy decentralised authority to most, I guess.

How could that even work?
I have done Ludum dares on and off since #6. I have yet to use anything like unity. Closest to a framework would have been using OpenFL which is a Haxe cross-target reimplementation of the Flash API.

For the last few I just do VanillaJS on canvas.
It's only two years. Buckle down and give a good-faith effort to do it right.

Be careful about becoming adversarial with the acquirer. I watched one acquired founder lose a lot of money by actively fighting against the new parent company and not really doing his job (e.g. avoided meetings, fomented discontent in his teams, secretly encouraged his team to leave). Any negative comments you make in public or private can be used against you, so refrain from saying anything bad about the parent company in any context, no matter how tempting.
More people are eating bugs – but is it ethical to farm insects for food?
Within the technology industry, he is the one most closely associated with this quotation, so I think it's fair to reference him.
That's pretty darn close to the single worst benchmark you could use for CL vs. rust.

It's going to make a lot of memory allocations and make a lot of uninlinable function calls, both of which are places that I would expect rust to have an advantage. That being said, I'd be curious to see your rust version, as just the number of bignum operations done for fib(50) is going to take a long time.
PrimeHost Review
It can't give correct answers for anything other than English in UTF-8 locales.

It can't give correct answers for any non-Latin scripts in any locales.

The problem is ctype and POSIX.

Given that, making ctype only work for ASCII (and maybe EBCDIC if you're really unlucky, which glibc is) is basically sufficient.
The form factor I'd like to see come back is something like the oqo, but of course with modern hardware

I disagree, I think you are putting a lot of importance on the image. Think Runeacape party hats, attachment to digital goods is not theoretical.
> You can get upper-class rich, seven figures rich, comfortable house, vacation home, early retirement rich, but you can't get Private Jet Rich, Masters of the Universe Rich, Look At Me Rich.

SWE at the staff level will get you low to mid eight-figures rich [0] by the time you're old with safe, traditional investing. Sure you aren't Masters of the Universe Rich, but you're still filthy rich.

And how many crypto people are going to beat low-to-mid eight figures? Maybe if you put $100k into bitcoin in 2013, but I'd bet there are more SWEs making $500k+ than there are people who put that much into crypto early enough (and weren't already filthy rich).

[0] Low-to-mid eight-figures in today's dollars. Nine figures in future dollars. Assume $500k income, putting half away from 35 to 65, getting 7% (4.1% after 2.9% inflation).
I've done all of those things every time I participated in Ludum Dare, and I've used a game engine only once. The time constraints make you pick your battles. You have to pick technology you're fluent in, but there are great input/output libraries for games for literally every language out there. I picked Javascript, and even did one in 3D with a procedural audio track that was affected by the plays.

One time I decided to make a multiplayer game on a hexagonal grid. Just getting the hexagonal grid working took me over half of the time, didnt produce much of a game at all that time, but it was still fun, it's ok to fail.
China will go apeshit if you try to use Bitcoin to move $500k to another country.

Transferring 500k between most developed countries should be easy enough, I'd probably talk to both banks first for such a large amount.
Especially after the refugees from Tumblr started to flood Twitter with their insanity.
Exactly right. The numbers might vary, but the basic principle is that the reward for staying goes down[1] and the feasibility of getting out goes up and at some point the lines cross. For me it was just over one year ago, at 55. For someone else it might be at 40, or 70. And good for anyone who gets there.

[1] For most people. There are a few "plum" roles where it keeps going up, but I honestly don't think that's the norm.
I love that the tremendous ambition of this is what kept it non-functional and relatively safe - the home-made gunpowder is probably not fine enough to blow up the very sturdy CO2 cartridge, the hole at the end of the cartridge is probably too big, etc.

You can make an equivalent functional microscopic 'pipebomb' with just matchstick head scrapings and the plastic body of a pen. This usually does produce a small satisfying bang and the risks of screwing it up are mostly limited to 'very nasty burn'.
I'm reminded of Michael Bolton from Office Space =)

Seriously though good luck I truly hope y'all can crack that space we so very desperately need something different, and I applaud the efforts!
Brandy? Maybe as a solvent to release some other ingredient from whatever form they found it. For example saltpeter was found under wagonloads of dung I believe - maybe the brandy was used to purify it somehow.
Brexit means brexit
I 100% believe that person is practicing a very subtle troll.
This was a great article. I wished he devoted some time to Time, as it is a critical factor in sequential distributed consensus. Databases like CalvinDB or blockchains like Cardano absolutely depends on accurate system time to ensure ordered consistency. It’s an operations problem really, but if done wrong it becomes everyone’s problem.
I did a non-Ludum Dare weekend game jam, and I built this:

No unity, no unreal, no engine. Learned it all as I went.

Game jams are a fantastic time and place to learn.
Not this strain. From the article: "With circulation of IBV only in humans and no established animal reservoir... The considerable reductions of influenza circulation globally due to COVID-19 may have already precipitated the extinction of the B/Yamagata lineage."
That's still not particularly brave, is it? If they have real concerns about engineering flaws that could even kill someone, they really should be going to the FAA, not writing a letter with someone who was fired two years ago. The FAA is quite capable of granting someone anonymity.

My impression is that this is really the work of someone who is still angry enough to dredge up problems from two years ago. The CBS reporter could only interview 5 of the 20 after granting them all anonymity. So why aren't the 15 at least willing to speak to a reporter?
Yeah, the Anarchist Cookbook used to be a must-have file for nerds in the early days of the internet, it used to turn up in collections of hacks and even in floppy disk/CD collections attached to computer mag covers.

I don't think most ever took it seriously, it was just an antiauthoritarian status symbol of the early internet. It was a badly-written compendium of nefarious bits and pieces collected by the likes of youngish teenage boys. I suppose the powers that be would now consider it dangerous material and its possession deemed suspicious. That said, go to the chemistry section of any library and you'll find much more subversive info therein.

BTW, when I was at school a part of the chemistry curriculum was to make and prepare black powder then test it. Moreover, the complete chemical equation of the reaction was in our textbooks and we had to understand it. Not only was the explosive reaction presented as just one equation but also it was subdivided into its constituent parts, sub-reactions etc., so that one fully understood the chemistry. That's to say we had to know how to calculate proportions for full combustion, etc.

Being allowed to officially make black powder under the auspices of the chemistry teacher made chemistry fun. Oh, how times have changed. Boring!
Yeah what I meant is that companies should propose other methods than SMS.

SMS can be good enough to confirm a password reset link that was sent by email (so you will not really do anything without access to an account's linked email address), but not as the main second factor for login.
A bit off-topic, but if you see the photo of the bore-hole at the top of the article and wondered what it sounds like to drop a piece of ice down the hole (it’s unexpectedly cool!) :

I have a couple of questions that I hope someone more versed than me can answer:

* Isn't the rule of crypto currencies and the like that the code is explicitly the contract, so if the code says to give people money then that is "legally" binding?

* Doesn't the IRS, etc still consider crypto currencies to be assets, not currency, so you'd only declare income on sale of the asset, not acquisition?

Colman’s English mustard in a jar is hot: it gets used in similar amounts to wasabi as a comparison (most people would use even a teaspoonful with a meal).

There is no way you would put it in a squeezy bottle at the same strength, so the squeezy version can’t be the same. I would guess the squeezy bottle version is for the US market - it is unavailable in NZ for example: https://www.colmans.co.nz/products/

One of the things I've learned with powerful tools is that, by their nature, they empower you to do bad things almost as much as they empower you to do good things.

It's even alluded to in the ruby bare-words example in this famous talk[1]

I'm a little embarrassed at how long it took for me to see the joke. The story should be "ruby maintainers accidentally get overeager and merge literal satire into their CoC".

A quote for context:

>A protected class is a group of people that has been historically discriminated or a group of people we (as humanity) want to privilege to offset the years of discrimination - but that's not all. For example the People of Color are a protected class, because of slavery. Members of board of directors of the big corporations are a protected class because they financially contribute to the cause. The non-heterosexuals are a protected class, because of discrimination. Women are a protected class obviously. I don't know how to better define it. The dictionaries should have a more understandable definition.

It's like the video where you try to count the number of times people pass the ball and you don't notice the gorilla walking through the middle of the room -- you read the first sentence where it starts listing off protected classes, skim over the part where it lists "boards of directors of big corporations" alongside people of color, women, and LGBT folks, and end up thinking that this @hmdne guy is a pretty woke fellow.
> But we could wish for a language with the efficiency and in-the-large maintainability of C++ and the clarity and generality of Python.

What about Haskell? Maintainability yes; efficiency mostly. It has a GC that can be a pain for high-memory scenarios if you don't spend a lot of effort optimising, but on the whole Haskell is surprisingly fast for its expressivity.

Any odd? `any odd numbers`. Or equivalently, `or (map odd numbers)`, which is compositional in that `map odd numbers` is just a list again -- no distinction between lazy and strict lists in Haskell. Your other four examples are `and (map odd numbers)`, `zip numbers (map odd numbers)`, `sum (map (fromEnum . odd) numbers)`, `sum (zipWith (*) numbers (map (fromEnum . odd) numbers))`. Note I used `map odd` instead of defining `oddnesses = map odd` and using `oddnesses`, because the definition is shorter than the name. :)

This changes somewhat when you use arrays instead of lists: Haskell's lists are in terms of behaviour mostly "generators that are implicitly stored as a lazy linked list if necessary". So if you want to store stuff more compactly, or you want to index into the list (as opposed to looping over it), you need arrays. But even for arrays the story doesn't change much! Using the 'vector' library, actually all of the above examples work just fine, with no unnecessary intermediate vectors because of some intelligent fusion rules, if you put `V.` before the list-related function names.
I doubt a normal person can learn all that and produce something interesting in just 48h
Becky Chambers explores the idea of composting humans in Record of a Spaceborn Few. It's the third book in her Wayfarer series, but I think it would work as a stand-alone novel if you aren't looking to read two books before you get to the one that discusses composting humans.

We’re a growing ed-tech company on a mission to help all students become better writers! NoRedInk is used by 1 in 2 school districts in the US, and students have answered over 5 billion questions on our platform. If you're looking to join a team of friendly people who listen to and learn from each other, discuss past mistakes openly as we adapt to the challenges that come with progress, all while realizing our mission, then you'll be excited to learn more about us.

Our colleagues span six time zones, California to Berlin and points in between, with lively discourse flowing freely across Slack, Zoom, and the office when we're able to be there. Wherever we're working from, we've always delighted in our work to ship new features—beginning with our curriculum and product teams, designers, through to testing by our dedicated quality assurance folks—that put teachers and students first. [1]

Our engineering team [2] takes prides in producing innovative, maintainable software. We use the cutting-edge Elm programming language for all our front-end development. Our back-end is primarily Ruby on Rails by lines of code, though we're actively moving toward Haskell; the majority of our traffic now goes through a Haskell service. We use Amazon AWS for our infrastructure orchestrated primarily using Kubernetes. We write a lot of tests, and use Jenkins for continuous integration. We've also developed and maintain several useful open-source projects. [3] You can read about our experiences with these technologies on our team blog. [4]

We’re looking for engineers who want to work on a mission that makes a difference and who are the type of collaborators that value kindness and open-mindedness.

If you were a non LISP programmer and thought "Fibonacci using recursion", you might think you'd have something like fib(a)=fib(a-1)+fib(a-2), and scoff at its possible performance, and also wonder how that would be tail call optimized. But as a LISP programmer, you'll think of this in the way a Java programmer would think of a loop, and just treat this as a count over two values n times, adding along the way. And this is why I don't like LISP: because I have programmed assembly and built up from there, and doing loops using tail call recursion seems to be a lie. It is a faulty abstraction. It is a loop. You'd be better off doing it in a loop, in any sane language, and if you do it right in LISP, the code will generate a loop in assembly language. Just the fact that this thread devolved into how to specify compiler options so that it actually generates that loop shows how absurd the whole thing is.
Given that the stacking of spheres is built from a stack of planar layers, wouldn't that mean that the stack is prone to shearing forces, sliding the layers over each other?

Wouldn't a packing that is irregular in all directions be more robust?

In the "bestagons" video, it is explained that the hexagons win because there are no straight lines in the packing, but I'd expect these to correspond to planes in the 3d case.
This interestingly generates shorter code as the compiler doesn't attempt any loop unrolling
