Right - the warrant indicates they're only interested in people from Texas searching for those terms in a two month period immediately before the active bombings. Feels a lot like a warrant to a hardware store for people buying a specific component they've found at crime scenes.

Of course Daily Mail stripped that context.

> The information requested in this Application is being sought by the FBI, in part, to establish who searched for the Google Search Terms between January 1, 2018 to March 2, 2018.

> While I believe that a pool of individuals searching for these bomb components or methods during the time frame prior to the explosions at the victim addresses will be limited, the pool of individuals will be minimal if limited to searches originating from Texas. By identifying the users of the Google accounts or IP addresses of the devices that searched Google for these terms and cross-referencing that data with other investigatory steps such as cellular telephone records, a suspect(s) or witness(es) may be identified.

Mainframe nowadays do support modern language and modern tech stack. It's just no one willing to move on to the next stack.(or probably too expensive to)

For example, IBM z runs linux.

Backward compatibility is one of the biggest selling point mainframes provide, you can run code written 30 years ago with all limitation and bug preserved as is.

And IBM z can also run many program write for original ibm/360 unmodified.

Probably many ones decided to do so.

Valid question. The devices are in shops all over the country and should be able to run autonomously. I don't want to get into the business of remotely managing those machines, setting up certificates and DNS on each one, especially since I have no control over the routers in the shops. Supporting the app is hairy enough without trying to do tech support for each shop's network issues.

> one single thing that makes traditional university education succesful is aptitude and drive.

I think it's more accurate to say that high ranked universities try to pick people who will succeed. That can be through intelligence and drive but it can also be through the backing of an ultra-rich relative (if someone will buy the school a building to get you into your college of choice you're probably going to do fine professionally).

That aside, I think your point is largely correct. I know someone founded one of the older bootcamps and in the early days it was fairly easy to choose only smart people, often with degrees from top schools ironically. Paired with the dearth of junior candidates job placement was 99% and pretty easy.

Acceptance standards have had to drop dramatically as the number of bootcamps has increased and the backlog of smart people who'd always wanted to get into tech has been wiped out.
If you don't need anything that is VS dependent, it works.

eg Most .net code I write is for .net core and will eventually run on Linux. Rider is great for this. Cheaper than a version of VS that actually has the features you'd want, faster, works cross-platform.

Looking at this concept, the concept for Orb2, a spherical, single-launch space station by ThinkOrbital looks wayy more exciting! Also probably a lot cheaper. And it offers a huge amount of pressurized volume: Twice as much as the ISS when launched on Blue Origin's New Glenn, four times as much (4000 cubic meters, 20 meters diameter) when launched on SpaceX's Starship.

I can walk out right now and get as fast an SSD and slot it into my Dell. Next year, I'll be able to put in a faster one, and the following year one that is yet faster.

I am surprised that the soldered in SSD speed is merely on par. And of course, for roughly 2x the price. So maybe that's why they aren't shouting about it.
It's really noticeable, and a lot worse than it used to be. My dev desktop is a 5800X with 64G of RAM and a nice samsung m.2 SSD. VS feels slow on it. Rider doesn't. VS Code doesn't.

Ah, very nice on both counts. It looks like instantiating generics over primitive types won't happen until a yet later JEP, and preview features tend to have a cycle time of at least two releases anyway, so I won't expect too much until Java 20. But it's still nice to see where things stand now :)

That got me wondering what percentage of the world uses the Roman alphabet, and the answers I found vary from "36% of the world population"[0] to "nearly 70 percent of the world’s population"[1].

In any case, I think it's fair to say that it's a plurality, if not a majority, and that the letters A-Z are the most natural "core" set of glyphs from which the other (upper case) Roman-derived letters are built.

Thanks. The GM + Ford figure seems OK to me. Given I dont see how other manufacture could catch up to Tesla in terms of EV.

Possibly my biggest mis-prediction in the 2010s was under estimating Tesla and overestimating how other car manufacture would react to EV.

To be frank: I think the main reason is because explicit talk of cost-cutting was at odds with leadership's self-aggrandizing Twitter talk. (Disrupting the education industry, putting four-year colleges out of business, etc.)
It's far from a complete solution though, and it's still going to have worse performance than a native implementation. Apple needs to prioritize Vulkan support on these devices if they don't want to repeat the last 15 years of Mac GPU issues.

I agree with your opinion. I just couldn't tell what the antecedent to 'they' was.

Yeah, the financial paper trail is probably the most compelling. The most reactionary media figures tend to be directly financed by wealthy interests who are happy to sow division by inflaming superficial threats to people's identities. The most popular explanation for this type of behavior is simply that people are bigoted and otherwise bad. I think the more meaningful and rational explanation is that the wealthy owners of society are employing a divide-and-conquer strategy. In this case, superficial differences are emphasized in order to reduce the ability of the people to develop class-consciousness and organize based on their common interests.
Interestingly enough, all of these comments could have been said about my experience at $BOOTCAMP that I attended and then was later hired at as a mentor.

The degradation of quality from the removal of human presence is a common narrative, and the students react to it so much more than management ever realizes.

> at no point did I feel like Lambda at its top level prioritized student wellbeing over PR, costs, or metrics to be sold to investors.

This is exactly how I would describe it. $BOOTCAMP was around for a few years, was purchased by private equity, immediately doubled it's prices, gutted the mentoring team, and "revamped" the curriculum, which really meant they were just pushing everything to video learning.

They have made some minor curriculum improvements as of late, but they have a long way to go to get back to what the program was when it was just starting out - which was ironically much higher quality in my opinion.

My point was that your comment "VR makes most people nauseous" is criticizing the metaphorical vacuum tubes of VR/AR - IE: current VR/AR implementation != all possible VR/AR implementation. So you're criticizing the growing pains period but the medium itself doesn't necessitate nausea. And in fact there has already been tremendous advances in both hardware and software to mitigate nausea.

Yeah, that was a bug: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb4530084-fix-erro...

But that's an unreliable process, would need new install media to be fixed properly.
The zoning thing is interesting. Although I think the idea the zones should be strictly geographic is out dated.

The zones exist to increase pricing for travelling though congested parts of the network, and provide cheaper fares for people that avoid them. Historically the busiest part of London was just the centre. But the cites evolved quite a bit, and now has multiple busy spots like Canary Wharf, Shoreditch and soon Battersea. So it makes sense to put them in zone 1 from a traffic density perspective.
Yeah, that’s sadly not so common in the US.
> The integers mod 2*64 are a ring even though not a field, if that helps.

Oh, ugh: I actually usually say "modular ring", but I'm not even sure that's a technical term, so for this comment I tried to get all fancy (as I thought I remembered that all rings are fields but not all fields are rings) and failed :(.

> We do in fact normally use integer datatypes to represent integers rather than elements of a cyclic group.

I assume our core disagreement comes because I believe that fundamentally everything representable on a Von Neumann computer is cyclic due to how memory works. I continue to 100% appreciate that this is an incredibly controversial opinion and that very few people are going to agree with me on this.

> If your program experiences uint64 overflow it's likely to be a genuine error condition unless the program is doing bit twiddling rather than arithmetic. In the case where it is an error condition, of course I'd want to trap it.

However, here I want to claim you are just wrong: you simply shouldn't be using that type for this... you should be using a big integer type; and the core solution here should NOT be to make overflow of this type trap, but to figure out why you are using this type in the first place and fix the language until you stop.

> In (say) Python, the int type is bigint, sometimes informally called "infinite precision" though their size is actually bounded by the size of the computer's memory. If your integers get too big, your program runs out of memory and weird things can happen, such as crashing, the OOM killer clobbering the process, or whatever.

This is fundamentally different, though: this isn't your program being wrong, but the system executing your program being wrong. Your program should strive to be correct, and insisting that "no one is ever going to need more than X-bits worth of Y" as an assertion in your program--as opposed to it merely being a limitation of the machine running your program--is a mistake.
"Technologies that replicate the hard limits of paper punch cards" and "mainframe" are not necessarily synonymous. You can make bad decisions with any given set of hardware/software you choose to use.

Mainframes have outrageous transaction processing and reliability/redundancy capabilities. If anything, mainframes and modern programming techniques for them are underrated, largely because dumb licensing on the tooling keeps people from realizing their capabilities.
The only people killed where unarmed soldiers, that where burned alive by protesters.
Completely depends on what your use case is. For me personally a desktop + mid-range laptop combo is cheaper, more powerful and an all-round better fit than a single $2K+ laptop (which realistically will become $3K+ after adding a few options).
It's rare to get an employer to give any honest reason for a rejection. As others have pointed out, it may be for fear of getting sued, but that is only part of the general reason:

Further interaction with the job candidate almost certainly has a negative ROI (return on investment) for the employer.

If you tell the job candidate the honest reasons for rejection then at best you've used (wasted?) some time to tell the candidate this. At worst, the candidate sues.

But there are many other possibilities: The job candidate gets angry at you for telling them a hard-to-swallow truth and causes a scene. The candidate tries to argue or negotiate with you. The candidate accepts the truth and tries to use more of your time to discuss your original criticism and seek further advice.

None of these scenarios are a net positive for the employer.
That's a logical fallacy - just because people exist that are non-anonymous and vile doesn't invalidate parent's point. The question is whether non-anonymity might lead to less vileness and I agree it's certainly worth trying.

I was imagining something that would be made in space, then shipped back to earth... and thinking there is nothing that would be worth the shipping costs, except something small and (perceived to be) high-value, like synthetic diamonds.

Well, let's start by saying that we should be comparing Enterprise value not market cap because other than Tesla, car companies tend to have a huge amount of debt on board (which artificially decreases their market cap). Plenty of the big car companies have multi-hundred billion dollar values. Ford at $200Bn, Toyota at $380Bn, VAG at $270Bn. So it's not unreasonable for a good car company to be worth in the hundreds of billions. Tesla also owns some valuable verticle integration with their battery IP and probably has first mover advantage in procuring the requisite metals.

Add to that unwarranted hype around self-driving cars, valuation metrics that are more suited to a tech start up than a car company, and the first mover advantage in the electric car space combined with competitors whose shareholders won't tolerate the investment required to catch up.

Most likely something like the Apple Car will be the first point at which the valuation gets properly tested.
Is anybody doing more to "stop ruining our current basket" than Elon Musk with Tesla EVs, Megapack batteries, SolarCity, $100M Carbon Capture X-Prize, etc? Elon Musk is an existence proof we don't have to "stop ruining our current basket" before worrying about space flight.
To me, this makes it so much more obvious that the only innovation they were even aiming for was a scroll wheel. Everything else is just a Diamond Rio with a hard drive attached. That's not to diminish the effectiveness or novelty of the scroll wheel, but the larger capacity seems to be the only thing that actually mattered here.

So, I learned to code at an odd program at Univ. of Texas - Austin, essentially a bootcamp for coders that began in the 1970's and still runs today. They take about 9 months to get you to a beginning programmer level, then you program (for UT administration) up through a kind of apprenticeship. It worked very well, and the washout rate has historically been about 10%; that is, 90% of those initially admitted go on to become professional programmers. That 10% includes people who quit, move, are expelled, etc. Truly 90% of those admitted get programmer jobs.

They have an admissions test, which is essentially an IQ test.

They would never admit to that, and their admitted population is very diverse (gender, race, age, etc.). But, they don't just admit anybody; in times of high unemployment the vast majority of people who take the test are not admitted. They also interview prospective candidates to weed out anyone with obvious, serious people skills issues. I wonder if this is what's missing from most bootcamps?
