None of this stuff is NIH, it's just from a different lineage than C.
I still fail to see how this is "bad data"?

You seem to be asserting that you can't make a statistical claim about a larger group unless that claim applies to every single possible subgroup? That is a rather ridiculous standard that would invalidate pretty much every single statistical claim ever made...

> The previous conclusion ignores a bunch of other factors.

Which ones?

Edit: You significantly edited your comment during my response. My response to your edits follows:

> They made the assertion, then disproved it in the same paragraph, supposedly this is a highlight of the award?

There is nothing disproving the original claim. The follow up studies performed more detailed analysis that looked at effects on subgroups to increase our understanding of the effects of immigration beyond what the original study found. This is a highlight because the original study was valuable not just for its results but for the methedology that facilitated a bunch of further research.
It is interesting. The tweet itself is very benign byTwitter rolling dumpster fire standards. But I think it is intended to send a message. You are an employee, not a PR representative for Netflix. If you shit where you eat, we don't need you here.

You know... like most companies work in US?
Certainly there's a lot you can do without understanding backprop - you can train pre-made architectures, you can put pre-made layers together to build your own architecture, you can tweak hyperparameters and improve your model's accuracy, and so on. But I also think you will eventually run into a problem that would be much easier to debug if you understand backprop. If your model isn't learning, and your tensorboard graphs show your gradient magnitude is through the roof, it'll be much easier to track that down if you have a strong conceptual model of how gradients are calculated and how they flow backwards through the network.
There has been absolutely zero change in “service” quality from when my first app made $15 a month to my developer account pulling in >$10mil annually.

An email would be nice. Maybe a fruit basket.
You seem to be making some assumptions here. Why would they be making so much money if they were an app farm?
I can answer this one! It manages to have significantly less elegant syntax and behavior than both C and Common Lisp, while also having drastically lower performance than both. Alongside that, it's incredibly difficult to port to new systems for little reason other than that the creator decided to make it so. Its package management is also significantly worse than Common Lisp's.

All of this without even getting into Rob Pike (the man largely responsible for its origin, if you're not familiar) saying explicitly it was for people who weren't capable of understanding a better language:

«The key point here is our programmers are Googlers, they’re not researchers. They’re typically, fairly young, fresh out of school, probably learned Java, maybe learned C or C++, probably learned Python. They’re not capable of understanding a brilliant language but we want to use them to build good software. So, the language that we give them has to be easy for them to understand and easy to adopt.»

Rob Pike, 2014.

Go is a fine language, but let's not pretend, here. Rob Pike certainly doesn't.
That's if you like remote.

It works both ways - if you don't like remote and your company is forcing you into it, quit.
Yes. If you take on a large valuation, you take on the responsibility of generating a return on it. Go figure.

You are making a funny but you are not exactly wrong: yes, you should be looking for investment deals where you are likely to get a return on your investment.
From the legal perspective, the shareholders still own TSMC (by definition) and therefore still own the fabs, same as before, and the shareholders are spread out across the entire globe.
Ugh, my naive brain didn't even consider things being faked. I know the Sega Genesis one works in an emulator (I don't have a physical Sega Genesis anymore so I can't try it on an everdrive or anything), but I haven't actually tried the Atari one in any capacity, so that one could be BS.
> In this case the CEO has read privs (not write) and the archive utilities have write privs, not read.

Not sure you could really make this work.

The archive utilities would also need to be barred from overwriting or deleting backups. If that's automated, who configures it? And how do you do differential backups without read privileges?
No, sorry. I don't remember where I first read about this, but it was a story about a perfume manufacturer successfully using IR gas chromatography to synthetically recreate an expensive perfume component (or something like that), where other techniques had failed. I don't know if there has been any subsequent research publications that definitively demonstrate what's going on.

It's possible that shape matters, too, as it does for other receptors. Either way, quantum mechanics is still critical for understanding the mechanism.
nice analysis

Is it feasible to operate these at lower altitudes?

e.g. can we have solar/air drones posted every 100 miles of interstate highway?!
You're a bit off the mark with your perception of solar, although you do come to the right conclusion. Solar panels can interact well with the local environment[1] and their production resources are sufficiently low as to still be a genuinely clean source of energy[2]. Also, when comparing production costs, consider that nuclear plants don't build themselves and use a _lot_ of concrete, which has a major carbon cost.

But your conclusion is right: nuclear is by far the best power option we have right now.

[1] https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/06/bees-and-solar-panel...

[2] "Researchers found that it takes just 1 to 4 years for solar panels to “even out” or “pay back” their energy debt. When you consider the fact that panels are designed to last 20 to 25 years, on average, you can see why that’s an impressive rating."

A recruiter contacted me one for a position at Amazon, and I straight up said I will never work there because of the way they treat their employees. (Probably burned a bridge with that recruiter, but oh well)
Relax.

You can put more than one sentence on a line.

It's called a paragraph.

It's very useful.

Seriously.
The author claims that the average price of a home will be $10 million 50 years from now. He says that this is due to factors such as inflation, population growth, more people living alone, lower construction rates of new properties, increase costs of building material amidst shortages, and more people owning multiple properties.

Despite these various factors, he concludes that it should be illegal for landlords to make a profit, claiming that "the working class can no longer afford to support the land-lording class." I didn't realize that landlords were a class of their own. From what I understand, most landlords aren't terribly rich. I am not sure why they would be targeted over trying to solve any of the other problems that were mentioned.
But the fact that they appear unable to see the beauty implied by `/usr/bin/env bb` or `shadow-cljs publish`

lol, what beauty are you referring to with those two?

Sorry but you aren't any different.
I have not, I've just clarified the point of the parent in case you misread.

But now I'm curious, what are the challenges with having a large number of entities implement a standard? Is it "just" the shrink-wrap effect of having a few-initial or large players, is it getting the parties involved to even agree to the standard, or what?
I used similar approach for video hashing. Instead of interval I used key frames with ffmpeg, then you don't depend on codec. Also didn't rescale but took hash of every frame. For youtube I found that it still produces different hashes sometimes.

edit: to get only keyframes use select=eq(pict_type,I)
In classroom sizes of 30 to 40, which is typical of California, I don't know what kind of imagination you have for individualized learning, especially when all children must be in the same class without any opportunity for advancement, ever. And do you expect that a 9th grade teacher will have the range to teach Algebra 1/2, Trigonometry, Geometry, and Calculus?

The ability to jump forward into Calculus is about an individual child's capability to do Calculus. The ability to jump forward in math is the opposite of one size fits all.
>users that found it useful

"Useful" is a huge stretch. I tried the game "egg, inc" this weekend and one of the mechanics forces you to view adds for other apps, and it's all addiction mechanics with an indecent 'skin' on them.

For example, there is one bejeweled-like game where there is a king who is being tortured, and you must make matches at speed or the spikes are driven into him, or he is forced to pee himself. There is another 'match two' like game where your reward is to take a female character and shave her head so she acts ashamed, and then dress her in streetwalker clothing.
Interesting perspective. FWIW a lot of modern languages now have put the types on the left for a good reason, it's a lot easier to parse. Plus for a reader, at least in Rust, wherever you see a `:` you know that a type is coming after. For the other stuff, I don't know, I got used to it pretty quickly. Not that much of a big deal in my opinion
Is this still the case today, in 2021? I know that Wikileaks was blockaded for several years, but I thought those were all dealt with.

Simple economics is main reason.

Regulating is expensive and they are not being paid for it. It Same reason why online social media would do as little content moderation as they can get away with .

Jon Oliver did a great piece yesterday on the state of non English content moderation on popular social media like YouTube and Facebook : the numbers he gave were 90% users can be non English but only 13% of the moderators deployed for other languages .

The real sad part is most of the content moderators for these companies all come from developing countries like India and already know a lot of other languages better than they do English.

They only care so far as to make users and regulators think they doing enough.
Another nail in the coffin for downtown Seattle's recovery?
Correct. It can be prohibitively expensive to have 3-phase power run to your house. Most consumers who need it, e.g., hobbyists, will use a phase converter.

The only person I know who actually had 3-phase power run to his house was using it for a ceramic kiln.
Interesting idea.

These two goals are meaningful to me in the comparisons:

Consistency across langauges

Idiomatic use of language features

A non-trivial application like this is a great way to see how languages differ.
It may not be popular, because it is just not very logical or pragmatic. Setting aside the vagaries of politics, as those will eventually change the same way pendulum swings, the simple reality is that we simply won't be able to dig around for coal, gas and oil for that much longer. Something has got to give.
As for sex work, in particular, this one is tricky. While I fully support body autonomy and in an ideal world, sex-for-money and the like should be legal, it's not that simple in reality. Why? Because the sex industry is deeply tied to human trafficking. I have no idea how to solve that problem.

You can't solve that problem, but I believe you could mitigate it by making prostitution legal. Funny thing is that prostitution is legal at the federal level, it's just that all the states except Nevada have laws against it. So it's kind of the opposite of cannabis, and if the credit card companies wanted to be consistent in following federal law they would allow it.
Yeah I keep thinking back to when oil hit $160/barrel around 2009 and all I heard was how we "won't see sub-$100/barrel oil again in our lifetimes" and it's here to stay and nothing we can do about it. And then oil crashed to $60/barrel. And today it's at $80.

Maybe you think building houses in the majority of America is more sophisticated than petroleum surveying, extraction, capping, refining... I respectfully disagree.

It's so important to teach juniors, in any field, that it's just business. Dealing with problems like short staffing is why the company employs managers. Only assholes are personally offended when someone jumps ship for a raise (or any other reason). There are def assholes out there, but thankfully they aren't the majority in my experience.
Could you please provide a peer reviewed study that takes into account all potentially confounding factors that shows the claim you made in the last sentence related to prevention against deaths?

When I look at the pfizer 6 month study (not peer reviewed) I do not see that.

> My experience as a student under the former regime (dedicated gifted classes) and the parent of a student under the latter (ad hoc whatever) is that the latter is, relatively speaking, a joke.

My experience as a student under the former regine and parent of a very-high-proficiency student under the latter (because he is in a charter school that does this even though it isn't yet a state standard) is that the new model works quite a bit better.

This is also confirmed by the results of comparative before and after study of places that have switched from the old model to the new model, which is the motivation for making the new model a standard.
There are plenty of old abandoned uranium mines in portugal.

They were abandoned because the price of uranium is so cheap it's not economical to mine it, but that can change if the economics of the situation change (ie, it suddenly becomes impossible to Import)

Regardless the point is moot. The amount of uranium required isn't that huge.
I think that part of the resistance is that if you have people who work remote, the bonds you build with the company and your coworkers can potentially be less strong than if you were there in person. This may make it easier for employees to job hop.

Another reason could be real estate related. If you signed a long term commercial lease right before covid hit, you want to make sure that you're getting your moneys worth.

I can only speak from my own history, but I've worked in Houston, TX and NYC, and both have pretty good senior dev jobs available at all times.

Are you maybe not applying for those higher positions? Junior devs will always be taken advantage of unless you know someone. I even took a Jr Dev job (on paper) only 6 years ago or so, because the manager knew me. I was paid more than the senior developer, and he reported to me in practice.
To answer the first paragraph (as I understand it, i'm no expert here):

Parsing! it is faster to parse and probably uses less memory too. This is not only important for compile time but also for editors with code suggestions.

C has a relative long compile time. If you look at golang, which has a goal of a fast compile time, you will see similar syntax.

PS.

Note that Ken is one of the fathers of both C and golang.
It's astonishing how unified the message is, across big tech and smaller tech leaderships. It's like every CEO is reading a script from the same business magazine: "We understand how important it is for employees to return to the office and we can't wait to make this happen! We know that this is the One True Way to work, and that everyone is looking forward to it! We must get Back To Normal and the only way to do it is to get bodies in offices." How many of us have heard variations of this script in our own internal memos?

I've never seen all of Corporate America's CxO-level Leadership so aligned with each other on a topic like they are aligned on Return To Office being the only logical way...

Yeah, exactly this! I'm always telling people that "the cloud" is just taking us back to mainframes and dumb terminals. Especially now with things like Chromebooks existing.

The most offensive thing of all is that modern dumb terminals don't have keyboards anywhere near as good as the old days.
Population density in Asian countries is not even close comparable to Western cities.

I would modify that statement without only a single gatekeeper. All countries ( ideally democratically elected) should have a say in how that system operates.

Having gatekeepers is not inherently bad, having just one who can effectively block anything is problematic.
Honestly if Ada hasn't caught on in the intervening 30 years (despite a lengthy government issued monopoly) then it probably isn't a good choice. A more mature Rust would be nice, but it's gravy at this point.

How do you expect successful implementation of #2 to look like? I'd expect it to be pretty similar to the state of Amazon product recommendations.

The problem is that users and platforms have a very different definition of what a good use of a graph is. This comes from their business model - advertising. For #1, you want to see things that are interesting to you, but the platforms want things that will keep you "engaged" the most (maximizing your exposure to advertising, which they sell as a service). The result is, you get content that, while related to your interest, is mostly a bottom-feeding, lowest-common-denominator material geared towards pushing your emotional buttons.

So with #2, again, the platforms may know perfectly well what you're spending money on, but what they'll show you won't be the perfect deals for you - they'll be the worst deals for you, from customers of theirs who spent most money on getting their offers in front of people.
Mozilla is being paid to refer viewers to Google's ad network, what do you call it?

You aren't being genuine. Brave's rewards program is opt-in. The ad blocking is a common thing for a user to do. Brave is not replacing ads.

> The controversy with donations came when they shipped the feature. The system is now way more transparent, but the facts are there.

Yes that seems to be a pattern, momentary overblown outrage about "lack of information" so they have to clarify the facts against the propaganda.

How is a donation system controversial when the funds are returned to the donor if the recipient doesn't collect them?

The "controversy" is clearly artificial. It's this big emotional outrage that doesn't match the facts, followed by short talking points referencing the outrage.

edit: funny enough you defended Mozilla for this exact same affiliates program.

5 or 10 years ago I watched a documentary about France's nuclear workers (I live in Belgium).

One guy said they had lost a lot of their know how when building nuclear plants abroad and were spread too thin now to manage all the plants.

He also said that privatization of small contractors to conduct routine maintenance had led to tighter schedules and an increase in small accidents. He wasn't confident the nuclear park was safe enough.

Most signatures are from Eastern Europe. It'd be great for France's finances to build nuclear plants in western Europe, the west has a strong anti nuclear stance at the moment.
That is only the external life/rituals (as in, mainly outside the house and office) and I guess, a fairly small part (importance-wise) of their daily life, though. A lot of the rest of it may be quite different from Western, going by books and articles I've read. Even some of their values are different (family, work, etc.) Not passing any judgement either way here.
This might be true for FAANG employers or others employing people in high demand, but based on the behavior of the vast majority of employers, it is clearly less costly of a problem than the savings of not having to pay prevailing market prices for all their employees.
It isn't just FOMO, its that when you unfollow someone it is seen by the other person has a rejection and people are loathe to reject others. Especially if the other person is important to you in any way, that is a problem. Muting is better, because it doesn't let the other person know you aren't following them.

The ROC (i.e. what people mean when they say "Taiwan") and the PRC are most certainly two separate countries. The fact that they have largely overlapping land claims doesn't change that. The fact that they both historically claim to be the legitimate government of some no longer existent greater China doesn't change that. They are two separate countries. That is the current status quo.

Ranges are pretty common in APIs and both -Infinity and Infinity can naturally arise from one-sided ranges. Since they are absent in JSON, they are frequently replaced with null, ad-hoc sentinel values with uncoded assumptions (e.g. timestamps should be always positive) and missing fields.
