Yep, and in particular, the version 1 moniker in Go has a precise meaning that the Go team committed to at 1.0:

https://golang.org/doc/go1compat

The fact that they can release generics and NOT bump to 2.0 is a triumph of the language designers and implementers, a testament to how much effort has been put into keeping this commitment.
I work alongside a principal engineer who refuses to learn anything beyond what they learned 5+ years ago. It seems they got to the Senior level and just gave up learning. Makes no sense to me and is a detriment to all the more junior engineers in our team.
This is propaganda directed at the public and at the other members of the agencies. Often people have good reasons for doing what they do. For example, Chelsea Manning was accused of espionage for revealing war crimes.

The US has a long history of starting wars on fictional grounds (it's hard to think of one that wasn't after the Civil War, with a possible exception for WW2) and this can lead people that come to realize they were conned to try to get justice.
We're using New Relic track performance (API response times, DB load, etc) as well as to track actions that users make on our front ends and APIs.
He was somehow a *volent Dictator For Life :)

With this knowledge about Steve Jobs, it's fair to assume that he knew that too right ? he probably knew he was part of the glue that made Apple Apple, and took measures to avoid dilution happening too fast.

I was very disappointed to find no parallels to the Name of the Rose novel.
I was referring to using blocking IO, one thread per request. You know, the much simpler way that was the norm before async became fashionable.
> I have low hopes for P=NP. I really don’t see how you can solve for example the TSP exactly to guaranteed optimality without utilizing all of the useful available information.

Not sure what you're getting at here. The available useful information is a set of cities each with distances to the other cities. About N^2 pieces of information. A computer can "utilize" all these data in polynomial time.
Tables like you mention, have infinite complexity and requirements. If all you need is the most basic grid, the built in <table> element is fine.

But what happens when you need inline editing, filters, searches, live updating data from a server, keyboard shortcuts, etc.

A single standard element will never handle everyone's use cases. The parent comment is seeing new wheels being designed for a high speed train and wondering why they are reinventing the wheel when wheels have existed forever.

Look asshat. They are going to pay for the service and the more CO2 they sequester the more they get paid. Do you know what plants breathe? Idiot.
This is a cool idea, explained brilliantly. The rock-paper-scissors reference turned on a lightbulb for me.
Well, my grandparents couldn't afford neither a fridge nor a washing machine at all and now you can get one with a week of minimum wage work. The problem is that as a consumer I can't distinguish between a washing machine that is expensive because it's built to last and a washing machine that's expensive because somebody liked a higher profit margin, so the market naturally converges to things that last exactly as long as they have to to avoid lawsuits.
> TBH I wouldn't expect Xinjiang mummies to be of Indo-European origin, given that Xinjiang is in east Asia.

Apart from the other comment pointing to the Tocharians of Tarim Basin who were Indo-Europeans, the only thing the classification Indo-European means that the language they spoke had Proto-Indo-European as a common ancestor. Even right now there's an Indo-European language right across Xinjiang's border - Tajik. This wouldn't have been anything out of the ordinary.

As it turns out, USPS doesn’t fall under the statutory definition of a uniformed service: “ (5) The term “uniformed services” means—
(A) the armed forces;
(B) the commissioned corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; and
(C) the commissioned corps of the Public Health Service” (10 USC §101(a)(5)).

Apparently this has to do with the fact that both NOAA and PHS commissioned officers operate according to military rules (but are not generally subject to the UCMJ), while USPS employees (even in the Postal Inspection Service) do not.

They can park in private parking lots.

I’m still not sure why cars are the only objects that cities are expected to provide storage for.

Do you expect the city to provide refrigerated storage for essential groceries since you don’t have a fridge? Do you expect the city to provide storage for a rack of your most essential clothing? Then why are we expecting the city to provide public storage for the ton of metal you decide to move around?

In the situation where you’re trying to drive people for emergency needs, in a situation where roads are not crammed with private cars, calling an Uber that drops you off will be cheaper and significantly faster (because you don’t have those private cars clogging up the roads anymore
I think, on Russian side they never really had anything like functioning counterintelligence screening.
They instead had complete reliance on Hanses, or Ames like "super-spy" characters, with whom they went to any length to recruit as became known after USSR dissolved.

Your PhD is how you learn to produce original research. If you’ve produced original research you’ll defend your thesis if you haven’t you’ll have to try again.

If your original research has commercial potential it will get you in the door immediately. If not it will still be highly regarded and open the door to higher level positions.

If you're highly entrepreneurial, use your PhD to research your startup, then use your thesis to fundraise. Here's an idea, research removing the GIL from Ruby, research anything to do with AI or computer vision.
>>Is this true even for Product companies and captives?

Yes, even more true in Product than Services companies. And for a very simple reason. Shelf life of most projects is small, and it resembles to be quite honest 'throw away work'.

>>Then they shouldn't cry rivers of blood when people who've stayed half a decade at their first company takes their offer to get 5 other counter offers and doesn't join in their company for a meagre 30% hike.

They don't. In fact they are happy you left, if they had to fire you they would have to pay severance. Now not only are you gone, you can be easily replaced with a fresher.

It's a brutal market. Plan for your retirement before you are forced to retire.
This was very short, and I am left hanging on what framework they found to deal with the situation...

> “We recognize as our consciousness around equity, oppression work and anti-racist work has grown, we recognize some of the texts in some of the collections that we have are not appropriate at this point,” Shantz said. He explained how the board developed a framework last year for reviewing its collections in elementary and secondary school libraries.

The article went right at the edge of describing what they did, just to cut at the most interesting part.

What was even the point of that article ? To remind us that books in elementary schools are vetted by committees to decide if they are appropriate for little kids ?
Why Node over Elixir? Even in 2019 Elixir was much better technology for building web services than Node and this haven’t change since. With Elixir you get the CL interactive development and metaprogramming (not as powerful in CL) but also scalability.
> The base maps in a and b were obtained from the Natural Earth public domain map dataset (https://www.naturalearthdata.com/downloads/10m-raster-data/1...).

Does anyone here know more about Natural Earth? What does it take to make a map? I've been looking for a good source, but not for something that requires serious commitment. Their website sounds great: https://www.naturalearthdata.com:

Natural Earth was built through a collaboration of many volunteers and is supported by NACIS (North American Cartographic Information Society), and is free for use in any type of project ....

The carefully generalized linework maintains consistent, recognizable geographic shapes at 1:10m, 1:50m, and 1:110m scales. Natural Earth was built from the ground up so you will find that all data layers align precisely with one another. For example, where rivers and country borders are one and the same, the lines are coincident.

Most data contain embedded feature names, which are ranked by relative importance. Other attributes facilitate faster map production, such as width attributes assigned to river segments for creating tapers.

you can make a variety of visually pleasing, well-crafted maps with cartography or GIS software

The last quote raises questions for me: How much investment in software and time is that?
> money owed to the government

but the money wasn't owed - because the gains were never realized, so the person (who died) never got to enjoy the consumption of that money, so therefore, it doesn't seem fair to take tax from somebody who would not be alive to defend themselves from it.

The heir receiving inheritance should get taxed - on the whole value (B in the OP's nomenclature). But the heir should not have to also pay B-A capital gains, which is a tax that would've been levied on the now dead, had they decided to sell instead of dying.
What you're arguing for here is what Google did - they didn't implement 'contain', so everyone got the equivalent of the Safari browser experience. If Google had done what I'm suggesting here then users who are on Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc would have a much better experience. Safari users wouldn't see any difference. Why would you make the user experience for many people worse than it could just because they don't use Safari?

Everyone should get the best possible experience for their chosen browser, even if that means users get different experiences.
Another issue is that they were testing multiple drugs, none of which had a statistically significant effect. Classic p hacking.

In a way it is though. There is a 84% chance you wouldn't go to the hospital either way, an 11% chance that you will go to the hospital either way, and a 5% chance that you will be saved from going to the hospital. So there is a 1 in 20 chance that this drug will save you from being hospitalized. It could also make your illness less severe in the other scenarios though.

My childhood home, for example, was $60k when my parents bought it. It's over $600k now, appreciating at over 7% per year, well in excess of inflation.

There is a difference between my lament for a $1M on the outskirts of a city that has maybe 3 bed being cheaper, and wishing for a 12 bed for $50k in literal Manhattan.
First, I assume the estimates on capital flight in the WSJ are based on Pichet's 2007 paper, which makes a number of huge assumptions to arrive at its estimate. This isn't necessarily a criticism, more a statement that there isn't a lot of good evidence and other approaches to estimation yield much more modest sums.

Second, the article does not say that "the wealth taxes generated less revenue than the ordinary income taxes would have." It says that "the government was losing revenue from income taxes that the wealthy would have paid." There isn't a comparison there. Sure, the government was losing some revenue from income taxes, but nothing on the order of magnitude of the revenue brought in by the ISF. Those who are extremely wealthy actually do not tend to pay much in income taxes, especially outside of the US where top salaries are significantly lower.

Third, the assertion of widespread capital flight in France is provably false. If we look at French national accounts, the larger a fortune (and therefore the greater percentage of which is made up of financial assets), the more it grew relative to smaller estates (which are predominantly composed of property). Under the hypothesis of capital flight, we'd expect to see exactly the opposite.

Fourth, the effectiveness of the wealth tax had nothing to do with its repeal - it had to do, in large part, with the specific politics of the internationalist-global coalition that Macron spearheaded.

Fifth, even if capital flight becomes an important concern (and I do believe it is important, simply not at the level that is often cited), there are plenty of ways it can be circumvented, especially given the very different dynamics of the US tax system and the US place in the world.

Nope. The parent is seeing reinvention of basic UI capabilities such as a basic table and virtualized scrolling and wondering why they are not available natively
I wish every news media to show original numbers always, not percentage.
Too bad they didn't make it easy to block OEM spyware from Windows Update. I bought an HP at Costco a while back that was on sale... reinstalled Windows using a clean install disc image, installed the latest drivers... next thing I know Windows update starts rolling back my drivers and installed HP spyware. I had to set a group policy option to prevent drivers from Windows update. I remember at one point doing a fresh install was the way to prevent OEM spyware, but now it seems like Microsoft is happy to include it and make it difficult to prevent.
The power of something like Copilot is in building out stuff you're not familiar with or don't have templates set up. It's probably not as helpful when you already have a clear idea of what you want to do and just need it rather than think about it.

+1 for the variable extraction thing, I've been using their IDE for ages and it never occurred to me to look for such a thing.
To put it generally: How far could we be from each other and still detect ourselves?

Renewables could also be the "good enough" solution, at least until 70% penetration or so where you want to start building storage. Starting with those has the benefit that you don't need to sink a couple of billions into a big construction site and then wait 10-15 years before the first kWh comes out. That buys you more time to figure out what the actual best solution is.
I mean that's pretty much it. You can't use a quantum computer like a classical computer with a huge (infinite) number of compute cores. Its not a gpu. That's not how it works.

If you use the metaphor that superposition is like computing many things in paralell, the problem comes in that when you measure. The superposition collapses to a single answer at random (with probability related to the amplitude of each possibility) which will usually not be the answer you're interested in.
Money quote: “But that earlier data from MiniBooNE doesn’t lie. There’s something really interesting happening that we still need to explain.” So, the previously favored alternatives are falsified. We know even less now than we thought we did, which is progress.

It is hard to get theoretical physicists interested in proposing new alternatives, because it takes so long to test ideas in this space that they can expect to have retired long before a Nobel committee could get interested in any outcome. But they are supposed to be interested, because if there are any Dark Matter particles, this is where they should be hiding.

The Pastors I've known in my life have been dual-income households, and Megachurches are infamous for using that set-up. Though I grew up in a small town with a decent mix of residential incomes, so there was no particularly poor churches in town.

> 77 TB of compressed publications.

PDF is fairly inefficient compared to formats like DVI (and consider that so many papers are produced using TeX anyway, though figures may be in various image formats.)

But 77TB? You could host the whole thing in a shoebox with nine 8TB flash drives, a 10-socket powered USB hub, and a Raspberry Pi.

Someone really needs to build Shoe-Hub.

What a strawman. The article doesn't claim or imply that Paxos on its own will make a better system. You can't build secure systems without having solid building blocks and primitives. Just like proving encryption algorithms and cryptographic have functions have certain properties is important and essential, proving properties about Paxos is important and useful.
Each year apple has been shipping thicker and heavier products. I get that some people are happy but boy do I feel the heft when holding an iPhone 13 pro especially coming from a slim iPhone 6s Plus.

If Steve Jobs was alive he would never let such products ever released. You can feel he left his mark in MacBook 12 and iPhone 6 as those products were lightweight and thin - read pushing boundaries.
> I always wonder whether all these proofs have been refuted

Sadly, no. I have talked to the author of one of those papers and apparently there is not a lot of motivation to check new proof attempts from the relevant people anymore.
I think you might want to reconsider your opinion of others. I believe the OP was referring to this result being on the edge of statistical significance given:
The effect size relative to the base population;
The fact that many similar trials are performed and discarded with similar drugs;
And as we see when looking deeper, there are other issues such as early stopping. It is not unreasonable to suspect the effect could disappear given more data.

> Not regress install time.

They seems to achieve size reduction by transmitting only the forward upgrade patches, and let the machine generate the downgrade patches during the upgrade. How do they manage to keep install time the same while this definitely uses more resources (cpu, io)?
So what? That has nothing to do with the comment I was replying to.
I've always read Dune as a strong condemnation of the white saviour. Paul dooms the Fremen to a horrible purpose; forever to deliver a religious genocide in his name. Paul knows what he's doing is wrong, we the reader are told its wrong, and yet Paul does it anyway because his power of prescience shows him the alternative is worst for the universe. The sequels completely adhere to the idea that Paul is right, and turn the whole Dune universe into shlock, but the original novel posits the idea that Paul can't be sure it's the right thing to do.

The thing is all of that is explained in much more detail in the second part of the book. You know, the part that's not a film yet.

Lol what lies. Pedestrians don’t need to have 360 degree awareness of bikes relative to cars because they are afraid of what bikes might do to them. There has been 1 pedestrian killed by a bike in NYC over the past decade. Whereas cars kill a pedestrian nearly every other day in NYC.

Rather, pedestrians pretend to be ok with cars because they’re socialized to believe car lanes belong to cars so if they get run over to death by them (which they do all the time) they blame it on the pedestrian, whereas if they receive even the slightest scratch from a bike while stepping onto the bike lane, they blame it on the biker.

And that’s before considering the fact that bike lanes in MUC are right along the sidewalks, whereas car lanes have several buffers between them and the sidewalks.

There are no trillion dollar bike companies telling pedestrians that they are at fault for any accident and that they are responsible for not walking near bikes. There are no bike companies that invented a new crime out of whole cloth (jaywalking) that tells people that if they enter 80% of the public street space and get killed by a bike, they are legally responsible (jaywalking).

How many tickets do you think have been given for “jaywalking” on a bike lane.

The reality is your entire complaint confuses the actual solution for pedestrians, which is more bike lanes (bike lanes save pedestrian lives since they create a buffer between sidewalks and car lanes through the bike lane, and I don’t think there’s been a bike lane death of a pedestrian in the US in the last decade at least), with your socialization which basically says cars own the road and any injury caused by a car is the pedestrians responsibility, whereas bicyclists are interlopers and any injuries by them, no matter how minor, is far worse than a car killing a pedestrian.

Agreed, experience in the field is a must. But do they need to keep coding, especially in the company? No, I think that's an anti-pattern. They should be busy with getting the business and the tech aligned, shaping culture, shaping hiring and coaching other tech leaders.
