>Yes it requires a bit more setup (not much more however, VSC also misses functionality out of the box)

Not even comparable. The functionality VSC misses you can get with installing some extension, which works out of the box, with hardly any configuration, and with a very simple way to find, select, install, enable, and disable it.

>However that setup is saved forever, across machines in the form of your .emacs file

Even that's something you need to do manually in Emaca. In VSCode it's automagically synced to GitHub, and indeed is "saved forever, across machines" -- and with smart ways to handle conflicts and such if you change it elsewhere, etc.

>And it's really not much more difficult to setup, Emacs lisp is more intuitive than JSON files

VS Code has a graphical UI that abstracts away the JSON configuration files, provides autocomplete of options, limits you to available enumerated options, picks up automatically the proper UI for the config of an extension, and so on.

And even when if you want to edit the raw JSON to change the configuration, it's of course vastly easier than Lisp (a full programming language), plus it also has autocomplete for key names and values, and so on.
FYI: The formatting/rendering of this page is way off for me (Chrome on 16" Mac). The top of the page is missing, and the bottom is cut off and doesn't scroll. Need to look at your UI again.
They’re using D-H3, which is aneutronic. There are also side-reactions which do produce neutrons, but perhaps it’s not enough to result in degradation.

Do you check the applicants who were denied based on their test and see where they ended up working at. E.g. you are a mid tier start up who rejects someone who ends up working at amazon as a high level engineer – do you mark that a failure?

The writeup appears to be about as well-founded as the domain.

"Increased abstraction means that you can write things much quicker and more simply than in another language."

Except for any other kind of higher level language.

> [Haskell is much more bullet-proof than] IF NATALPLANET == “MARS”

As is any other non-stringly-typed language, so everything other than Tcl. And even Tcl is misunderstood, it's actually pretty awesome for its intended purpose. And of course you can write stringly typed code in Haskell just as much as you can in any other language.

and so on.

Or if you want to photograph remotely. The Mavic 2 has a practical range limit of a few km, and essentially ignores wind; this means I can use it in mountainous terrain where the mini would be far outside its usable range.

Their "generator" in this case appears to be the reactor which generates helium-3 fuel by fusing deuterium fuel. Their eventual endgame is a first stage D->3He (dont know the exact process) fusion generator followed by the second stage D+3He->He+p (or 3He+3He->He+p+p) fusion reactor. They claim that even the precursor process of fusing Deuterium into He3 is net-electricity-positive overall, which is a claim that kind of works on a napkin as long as there is a physicist nearby engaging in some wild hand waving. It will be quite amazing if true.
Ironically such a document frames Black / Latino students as 1 monolith, frames them all as too stupid to get math, frames them all as poor, frames them all as caring about their community of color (ie have no friends outside their own race), cannot be gifted or excel at math naturally.

It does all this by pretending math needs to change, when there are a million other things we could fix in bad schools to make all students perform better at math.

A useful comparison. I have never taken Tamiflu because I know I’d need to haul my weak, shivering, flu-infected self through public to see a doctor to get the Rx, go to the pharmacy… all for the personally-uncertain benefit of Tamiflu.

Nowadays, this should be easier with so many virtual appointment options and delivery services. It should be, but is it?

There should be an app that does all of it for you.
1. Scan your insurance card.
2. You get notified when a doctor is ready for your virtual visit.
3. If appropriate you get the Rx written.
4. That day, some delivery service will bring you the Rx. 5. Maybe a testing service stops by as well.

Insurance companies should want to participate if it decreases Flu or Covid hospitalization for a reasonable cost.

Anyone want to make this happen? My fall classes are nearly all finished.

Edit: Pharmaceutical companies may wish to partner as well. Lots of avenues for this kind of service to find revenue.
> he said Pfizer falsified data

Which is an assertion the BMJ article doesn't support.

"A regional director who was employed at the research organisation Ventavia Research Group has told The BMJ that the company falsified data, unblinded patients, employed inadequately trained vaccinators, and was slow to follow up on adverse events reported in Pfizer’s pivotal phase III trial."

You don't have to run arch if you are happy with your Ubuntu or whatever other distro. I run arch because I like trying out new software when its released, not when maintainers of ubuntu decide to include it in the next release cycle. You are pretty much always on the latest kernel, for good or bad. aur also is a gem compared to apt when it comes to modifying in-tree packages and maintaining those with the system package manager.

But well, if you are happy with your distro you don't have to use anything else.

Consider creating a fund with this explicit goal.
This is true, but the effect has been exaggerated.

In the consumer world, how often is a CPU pegged to 100% full load across all cores like in these benchmarks? It doesn't happen while gaming. Maybe someone who does video encoding or compiling large projects will spike their CPU usage to 100% for a couple hours per day at most. If a CPU only spends 1-5% of its time at these high temperatures, it doesn't really add up to much over even 5 years. And even if the CPU dies after 5 years, it's really cheap to buy a replacement at that point.

If you're running a server at 100% load 24/7, that's 1-2 orders of magnitude more time spent at the high temperatures. If you need high reliability and the most dependable lifespan for those servers, you'd want to choose a lower clocked CPU. That's one of the reasons why server parts are clocked lower than their consumer counterparts.

Name two things that go better together, Python devs and breaking shit that has no reason to be broken.
For developers, coding tests that include deployment / infrastructure components (i.e., deploy your solution to a cloud container, or, build and compile your solution for desktop platform testing) are uniformly consistent with long-term impact / success. Problem solving at the algorithmic layer may be inversely correlated to success, if a candidate lacks a production skill set.

Unless one's focus is research and development, there is a non-zero cost to training for production skills, so it's best to start with someone who understands the delivery process.

Linear metrics are probably less useful, inasmuch as it will become rather obvious as to which employees are self-starting and work well with others, versus those that require motivation or are staunch individualists.

Most COVID measures are not at the US federal level. Some mandated measures have exit criteria, at the level of government issuing them.

> This will go on forever without exit criteria.

It will go on without an exit decision, but the exit criteria that have been issued have frequently been adjusted anyway, because understanding of how current metrics project the future have evolved. Which is probably why their are fewer announced criteria and more reliance on periodic, holistic review.

Apple's trade-offs, their sensibilities, took us from phones that looked and worked like BlackBerry, and Moto Q, to phones that look and work like the iPhone. They set a new high bar. The iPhone had better capabilities and superior user experience. So yes, Apple has improved the general smart phone experience for all consumers.

Apple achieves this sensibility by making choices on behalf of their customers that they feel leads to a superior user experience. They don't present the user with pedantic choices. Instead they allow users to select only choices that they feel will lead to a great experience.

This is similar to other purveyors of premium and luxury goods. For example, a 5-star restaurant won't present you with (in their opinion) a shitty choice of meal. Tesla won't sell you a car with steering wheel--only a yolk. LV won't sell you a basic plastic purse. And BestBuy won't sell you just any old shit off of Alibaba.

Discerning consumers look to these companies to make these choices for them. To make the experience of owning those the products wonderful. And Apple's customers look to Apple to do the same thing with their phone.

Now, not all customers want or can afford these choices. So, there are competitors that see it differently.

Surely this can be a business: A laptop that has the characteristics many of us value in an X220, but without violating Lenovo’s IP. My priorities are the keyboard, reliability, legacy ports, replaceable/upgradable parts. I don’t need the latest CPU nor the highest res screen, but these would be nice, and I appreciate they are of high importance to many.

I’m a non-tech software exec and can have pretty much any laptop I want, but have been exclusively on one X220 after another since they came out. They kept getting cheaper and cheaper! I’m afraid to look now.

At this point, it has been so long that I don’t want to deal with the learning curve or annoyances of anything else, and would probably pay whatever it took for that privilege. At one point, my tech team talked me into a top-of-the line MacBook Pro with every option and dual boot, but I was fed up relearning every little shortcut and shuffled it along after two weeks.

So far I rarely have issues with suspend/resume on Linux with laptops. My current laptops are a Thinkpad T14s Gen 1 and a Thinkpad P51, and they sleep and resume properly every time. Desktops as well: I’ve got a Ryzen 5950X+RX590 setup, works exactly as intended. Previous desktop too, and the one before that.

Granted… it could just be luck. I accept that. But, for me, I’ve never specifically sought out linux compatible parts and sleep/resume has not been an issue for a long time for me.

I tend to just run the later stable kernels, which might help a bit. Though Arch should give you basically this by default, so, I dunno.

Is "naturally gifted" the new "self-made man"?

It seems so obviously self-refuting that I can't believe people use it without irony.

Can anyone name anyone who is naturally gifted at anything that didn't get taught and learn a million different things (not all of which they were good at) in order to get to the point where they could display their "natural gift"?

I say we take anyone's kid who they claim is naturally gifted and dump them on a deserted island shortly after birth and we'll see exactly how well they get on with their natural gifts. Maybe we'll come back in 16 years and they'll be doing calculus, speaking three languages fluently and playing the saxophone, but I doubt it.

After all, we wouldn't want them held back by the decades of parental care and schooling that we give to the normies who need to like, learn stuff from books and be fed for years and other such crutches for the feeble-minded lesser beings.
> Between SageMath, Numpy, scikit-learn, Pandas, Folium etc. Python can probably match Mathematica feature for feature and even beat it in some cutting edge research areas.

Haven't tried Folium, but from people who are familiar with both: The number of ways Mathematica has an edge over Sage (in terms of math capabilities, not interface), significantly outnumbers the reverse comparison.

Sage is better in a few ways. Mathematica is better in many ways.

Still, for the typical undergrad curriculum, Sage is probably good enough.
Actually, the vaccines they used decades ago are definitely not the same ones they use today. For starters, vaccines from centuries ago tended to have actual non-zero mortality rates.

Vaccines are never tested "for decades" either, because people kind of assume that it is highly unlikely that there are super-long-term side effects from small acute doses. I would tend to agree.

The argument is therefore not garbage at all.

I don't think you disagreed at all with rjbwork at all, it's just you're using words differently.

The article, and rjbwork, use slower to mean "slower when the CPU isn't regularly idling".

Having used one, and then upgraded to a Mavic Mini, $50 drones terrify me now. They're a safety hazard, both to you, and to anyone around you at the point you're flying them.

A proper drone with GPS, an IMU, and visual position keeping is going to hold its position in really quite strong winds. $50 drones are going to get whisked off in the first stiff breeze, and then to top that as soon as they lose signal from the controller they'll either kill the rotors straight away and fall out of the sky, or they'll continue flying in whatever direction they're going until the batteries go flat, and then fall out of the sky. Possibly onto someone's head.

"until this point, we didn't even talk about money" I wont even go in for an interview unless I know the salary. It's a waste of time otherwise as you and the business may be miles apart. Almost all my jobs are through recruiters. My process is recruiter sends me an email (I get ~15 a week currently) and if the job looks interesting, I respond, say it looks interesting and ask the salary. If they don't give it on the reply I am done. If the salary is too low, I thank them and wish them well. I work for money and nothing else and don't want to waste anyone's time including my own. If this is your first job, still entry level or out of work, I completely understand not asking as you are just looking for a gig.

The more I look at this topic, the more I'm thinking -- if the goal is "real world math" (which it perhaps shouldn't ALWAYS be, but let's go with it) it feels like the solution is probably "get the kids in front of Excel (or Calc/Sheets) as soon as possible."
