It's possible, but there is the time difference thing, especially when it comes to the east coast. We have 6 hours to the east coast, 9 to the west coast. In Spain people like to start and finish late (having dinner at 9pm is normal!) but this difference is uncomfortably much. It's not really handy if you have to work US time, bring your kids to work, have a social life, etc. In my current job we're the "inbetweeners" between the India and US teams. We keep in touch with both because India and the US don't normally collaborate much due to an even worse timezone situation.

Also, why would they bother paying US salaries to employees stationed in Spain? When I moved here from Ireland (also EU) my salary actually went down a bit :) And they already scaled me up a lot within my salary class, if I had come in here 'off the street' I would have made even less. Multinationals already have this scenario a lot and they pay local wages.

People are willing to work here for local wages. And local conditions are mandatory here if you live here. Working for a US company and for US conditions while living here will not fly by EU law (the only exception is NGOs like the UN).

So I don't think it will change too much to be honest. If anything it will provide more downward pressure on US salaries than upward pressure on the ones here.
So if this requires a demo to use, are you writing the TF code manually?
Apple is one of the largest companies in the world. The bar for “looking into it” is pretty low for giants. It would be news if they weren’t looking into it. This statement doesn’t mean Apple has a business plan with cryptocurrency, let alone that they will go for it.
> YJIT works fine with Puma and Webrick. I don't think anybody's tried it seriously with less-common servers like Falcon or Thin, but I'd expect it to work -- file a bug if it doesn't, because it should.

Have you tried it with Unicorn?
Yes, the complete system is way too complex to understand. Even the FED admitted that[0]. Especially forecasting anything is very hard and the luck factor is very high. That's why business "science" (not a real science IMO) is only reactive, not proactive. They keep the system running, see it fail, adjust the screws on the machine we call "the market", and try again.

At least in STEM:

Create an exercise that contains a technical term that does not exist, and create a page containg it with a plausible, but wrong solution for the excercise. Make sure that the page is easily found with Google. Give everyone who solved it using the wrong solution a failing mark.

Personalize every exam. Create a pool of exercises and choose n exercises per student, based on the student id.
Easily done if the sheets are already LaTeX anyway.

Create heavy time pressure. Cheating is very hard when even completing all exercises regularly is almost impossible.
(Lovingly called "Zeitklausur" in German, lit. "time exam", it's normal that students are unable to finish those in time)

Create exams that don't just test the ability to vomit knowledge, but test the ability to use that knowledge, and let students explain in their own words.

Replace the exam with multiple small projects and presentations.

All of those things were used by different chairs / departments in my university :-)

Nothing will prevent "someone else writes the exam for another student" with absolute certainty, yes. But neither does proctoring software.
That $600k difference in home price is only $120k different if you're putting the standard 20% down-payment for a mortgage. Which is still a large delta, but still, slightly less. If we're talking about spending $100k for a efficient technical solution, we're down to a $20k difference (though if it's a $100k of the company's money vs $120k of mine, then that's a huge difference). Problem is, I don't see companies lining up to provide for new (or continuing) employee's moving costs, so the employee can move to a city where the company has little/no presence.

The best workplaces were already looking at developer productivity prior to the pandemic, and there are material gains to be had from the company spending real time/effort on things. But that easily costs (the company) way more than $100k.

Until we collectively - execs, management, ICs - gain enough experience with hybrid and all-remote work models (and even some post-pandemic all-in-person work models, which is different from pre-pandemic all-in-person work), we won't and can't know what maximizes the value of an employee (and anyone that tells you different is trying to sell you something - probably that remote work is unilaterally better, which it's not).

The Monty Hall problem says that moving is the optimal thing to do, but ignores the real practical difficulties of moving to a completely new city. I'd love to live in Boulder, CO, except for all the hassles of actually moving beyond the physical relocation of my stuff from point A to point B, which is trivially solved with money.
Discussing Signal is somewhat unavoidable in this context though.
All non-thesis CS master degrees are a bit suspect. They are basically a few more courses, usually at night for professional students, but increasingly online. I'm not really sure what kind of value they add beyond looking good on a resume.

Thesis masters are increasingly rare these days as American schools allow you to jump straight to a PhD program (Europe is a bit more rigid here). The other kind of Masters degree that is increasingly popular is the 5th year undergrad extension, which makes a lot of a sense (MIT started the trend here, other schools have followed).
Because it's going to run better and smoother on linux in almost every case than on WSL. There is nothing really attractive about windows to me right now so I have no reason to recommend to my employer for us to ditch Linux for Windows. However if you're already a majority Windows shop,this may be enough to keep you for dropping it for greener pastures in Linux. Never forget that everything that Microsoft does is to earn a profit. Their current corporate theory is they make more money by supporting Linux/unix capabilties rather than oppose them like they did in the 90's and oughts.
I saw a local Baptist church sign that said "Streaming Sat/Sun at Facebook.com/..."

Never in my wildest 90s imagination would I have imagined any part of that coming to pass.

PS: And as to the value of eyeballs & attention, why does everyone think Chrome is the most used web browser now? Don't laugh at Facebook's ability to push things.
They are saying that if you have to judge the NR by who founded it, and assume they have the same beliefs now as they did back then it only makes sense to apply that same logic to the democratic party since it was notoriously extremely racist at the exact same period Buckley was advocating for segregation.

It would be silly to say the DNC is still what it was in the 1950s, since "organisations change and it was 60 years ago" but the comment you're replying to is arguing that we only give that sort of benefit of the doubt when it's convenient politically. Buckley wouldn't be relevant otherwise here, and every single "older" newspaper would be a conservative rag if we were to go by what's been published or said by their founders.
Most CS masters programs are this way. They are a way to get into the H1B lottery.
When IE8 was released:

Me, to <litigious tech company>: “Your JavaScript fails on IE8 because it now throws an exception when it attempts to set an invalid CSS value. I made a tiny patch but do you have an ETA for the fix?”

LTC support: “We don't beta test Microsoft's products for them!”

Me: “Okay, it was released this week. How's testing going?”

[a week passes]

LTC support manager: “Hey, can we get a copy of that patch to give to other customers?”

My employer at the time paid 7 figures annually for support.
I graduated that program a few years ago. The best final I had was Intro to HPC, you were allowed to use book, notes, internet, etc. The questions were open-ended and in-depth enough that the average on the test was still around 60-70 IIRC. You need a very deep understanding of the material to answer the questions sufficiently.

My gut feelings as an interested but detached observer are that it's been a good year for yields, too. I'd also say we've got a lot of "new" fields producing in the last 3 years which had been fallow for a decade before that. In addition, we've got winter wheat happening far more than we used to; so some of the soybeans might be green manure to be plowed in instead of harvested.

Corn all came out beginning of august, the volunteer stalks on those fields were back up to 3ft high before the freeze the other night.
> notice how questions "why do I have to go through an OS-approved C runtime even if I write in some other language?" are responded with "Oh come on, in the end, everything is built on top of libc"

Yeah. I don't like that. Just because that's the way it works now doesn't mean it must work that way forever. Because of its stable system calls, Linux doesn't impose any design on user space. People could theoretically rebuild the entire system in Lisp or Rust or something. Potential is limitless. Also, it's amazing that I can compile a freestanding program with zero dependencies and boot Linux straight into it.

> the problem is that it's glued into a runtime of one specific programming language that now apparently everybody has to use

I agree. It's a really hard problem to solve. Since it's based on the POSIX APIs there are tons of definitions and data types that are specified exclusively in C and its preprocessor. Not exactly accessible for other languages. The preprocessor macros in particular are extremely problematic. The only sane way to untangle those is to use a C compiler.

There's an interesting discussion in that thread you linked. What if the vDSO was the entry point for all system calls? That would certainly be interesting.

I think the vDSO ABI is underspecified. It's just the C ABI, whatever that means on your system. This can cause bugs due to assumptions. For example, this Go bug happened because Go called hardened versions of the vDSO functions with insufficient stack space:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28411786

Compared to the C ABIs, the Linux system call ABI is really simple and easy to understand. No way to screw it up.

The vDSO ABI should be as simple as the system call ABI. As it is right now, it pretty much forces people to use C.
I personally have never run into whatever the limitations might be of pl/python, but I suppose you could make a disaster by trying to dynamically load conflicting symbols or something like that. But I have used numpy in stored procedures, so at least that works.

pl/sh also works wonderfully if you want to run a complex procedure in an isolated subprocess, but pl/sh is not part of the main postgresql distribution.
I'm glad to support independent journalism while gaining ad-free access to quality content on a platform I frequent.

People in this thread are mainly talking about Apple introducing their own coin but I wonder if the more realistic move is to support Crypto in their Wallet app. They could make a pretty compelling argument for it being a safe space to store Crypto but at the end of the day I'm not sure what this would gain them.
The target audience for this recipe is a Venn Diagram of "people who love lasagna but nobody else in their life does" and "people who can't eat ham for religious or dietary reasons" and "people who have no reverence whatsoever for pizza" (which also, according to some, is a superset of Hawaiian pizza eaters to begin with).

That's not a tiny number but it's not large either.
While I am not sure it provides enough real benefits 'does not allow it in any way' is clearly wrong. A company can decide that they acknowledge ownership based on whatever entry they originally put on the blockchain (with or without the ability for a user to trade it), perhaps tied to a private key built into the device or belonging to the user (but then there's a risk they lose their key).
This is a dumb comparison. An ounce as a unit is arbitrary. A Bitcoin as a unit is arbitrary (but arguably less so). I'm in a metric country so lets use that.

1 kg of Rhodium is trading around $493,189 vs $66,787 per Bitcoin. Rhodium is 738% better if you equate 1 kg to 1 bitcoin! Wow, put all your money into precious metals!
It really makes me think of "The Irony of Fate" intro:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHdFd2RKRSI

This is the intro of a Soviet Christmas romantic comedy, with the premise that the main protagonist, quite drunk, gets into a taxi, gives the address of is home, gets there, unlocks the door with his key and go to bed, only to realize a bit later that something was wrong when an unknown woman enters... Everything was identical to his apartment (street name, number, building, keys, etc)... except he is in Leningrad and not in Moscow.
I've never used cython before. Is it 1-to-1 with standard Python? If so, can you do development using the regular Python binary, and leave the compilation step as a pre-commit operation?
People get arrested, not corporations.
"make it easy" seems to be doing a lot of work there. What do you mean by this? Do you mean that because it's just a stream of bytes people could post all the child porn they like as base64 encoded strings? Have you just created alt. newsgroups again?

Congrats on your brand new hive soon to be overpopulated with scum and villainy.
The two things are related. If my bedroom is windowless but I can easily spend semi-private time in a naturally lit area the problem with the bedroom is diminished, the Michigan dorms have that feature, each 'pod' has a lit space shared by a small number of people. In the UCSB design you have to move to a decidedly public space shared by many people. That transition has a lot of problems, it's no longer 'your' space as you have no control over it and can't meaningfully modify or control it.
We use them in production, they work fine. You probably want to enable use_remote_estimate for postgres_fdw though.
Actually there should be speed limits for shared paths even without ebikes. Here (Hungary, EU), I think it's 20kph (12.5mph). Even that is too fast to hit someone, but of course, the point is that you'll have more time to slow down and react.

I'd say they are somewhat effective. I don't ride much on shared paths, but when I do, I usually see people not going full speed. After all, unlike with a car, it's also dangerous for the biker. The only concern might be that you may experience speed differently on an ebike/pedelec since you have to put in less effort. I've never tried those so I have no idea.
As someone who was an initial skeptic when this was first announced, I really appreciate what twitter is trying to do with Blue, especially around direct payments to publishers. Any step to get the internet off of the ad-based data-harvesting revenue model is ultimately better for almost all parties.
I don't think we have to infer anything. The comment you replied to was making a point about artificial scarcity.
It's very rare for them to go down. I think I can remember one major outage during business hours in the last few years at which point we just switched to manual monitoring for the few hours.

If that is within your outage model, you'd probably want a redundant on-call service I suppose, even if it's just escalating to a single known email or sms group.
Yes but NBA can unilaterally delete this data from the server, right? Then how am I getting any control?
So when you need something and find it, do you just restack it on top of the pile, or do you spend time to locate the correct time slot in the pile and slide them in there?
You typically use a dedicated GPIO pin to read the PPS signal as the authoritative start-of-second.
By 2100 I would assume we would be computing on quarks.

Up until now we've primarily used our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/33mKDHHFUE) and Github issues for feedback. Starting with v2 we plan to start using Github Discussions as another avenue. Although we like Discord for free form discussion and quick questions it's not great for retention or searching for past solutions. Issues felt a bit constrained and tend to be directly tied to pull requests. Our hope is that with Discussions we'll be able to have more long form discussions that can be retained and made us of by others in the community. Also with Discussions we would like to start making use of an RFC process where anyone can propose designs, discuss, and then proceed with implementation.
> Fossil is not competing with anyone.

False. This page is proof. https://www.fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/fossil-v-git.w...

> I’d bet that the only undesired consequence of Git’s existence in their minds is the unfortunate phenomenon of ocasional [sic] Githeads stumping into Fossil’s forums

Wrong again, you lost that bet. You owe me a beer. https://www.fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/rebaseharm.md You need to actually read the Fossil pages first to understand what this argument is even about. You are providing evidence that you’re just attacking me without understanding the history.

> I can use hyperbole too.

Do you realize that you’re totally validating my whole argument? Because you’re calling my argument hyperbole and a straw man, when I’m accurately describing what Fossil and it’s author have said about git rebase, without realizing it you are agreeing with me and disagreeing with @SQLite. You claimed that my question about rebase being a felony was a straw man, when in fact that’s exactly what @SQLite said literally. You called @SQLite’s idea ridiculous, not mine. You are disagreeing with the core belief that Dr. Hipp holds that modifying code history should be at the level of a criminal offense.

I’m upvoting you because you are proving my point.
I assume the doctor is having all your symptoms recorded, are you against that being automatically put into an expert system to list possible diseases? One that knows the failure rates of tests so can give more accurate chances of having X Y but not Z is actually something that has X Y and Z, but the Z test is only 90% accurate?

By scalable you mean cheap.

An actual test would be: design a whole system/experiment to do a thing, in 3 hours.

Can't look up basic things, you'll be too slow.

But then it can't be auto marked, so isn't cheap.

Exams: The very last time in your life you won't have internet access.
Possible, but that is also the time when the hull is under the least amount of stress.

So maybe they are worried about sitting on the surface of the Arctic in the dead of winter for an extended period of time and then crash diving?

Be wary when using guids for PK in clustered indices, in databases that support them, see for example https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11938044/what-are-the-be...

Thank you for sharing your project.

I like the minimal design.

Please take this as constructive criticism, because I like your project overall, and want to only encourage you:

Please consider testing your project in older browsers, and including no-JS configurations in your testing suite.

It is easy, as a developer with a beefy machine with the latest and greatest installed, to overlook these possibilities, and it severely limits the accessibility of your site by older devices, slower connections, security-conscious users, and other edge cases.
During the aftermath of the 2008 financial crash there were even tech support jobs asking for a masters degree. This has basically gone away with the tight STEM labor market. But it was one of the reasons I wound up getting a BS in IT instead of going straight from grade school to tech support.
Discussion is around the stock market.

Yes, when you buy newly issued shares from Apple (rare), cash flows through the stock market into Apple's accounts, but again, no money went 'into' the stock market.

If you're talking about Apple selling devices, then it's another concept entirely.
This is incorrect. The casing has nothing to do with being British. Until some time ago, it was ARM proper, whilst still being British. Although, the name was an initialism of 'Acorn RISC Machines', they later went by just the name, without any connotation to its origins.

Some time ago, the management decided that the branding wasn't hip enough, and went for a rebranding (website, social media etc.), with lower case arm used in documents and as logo. But when used as a noun, they use Arm instead.

A few more screenshots of the "Scheduling" options would've been great...

We're (more or less) using OpsGenie's free tier, however their scheduling never really "clicked" with me... not sure if i'm special in that regard, however i find the UI/UX pretty... weird...
For those who enjoyed this, Eeben Barlow (one of the first South Africans who eventually formed Executive Outcomes, one of the most famous PMCs) had written a book also titled Executive Outcomes that was long out of print but is now available for download on Kindle. It's about 300 pages too long but is a really fascinating look at his side of the story and is damning for international groups who responded to crises across Africa but did little (read UN intervention in Sierra Leone) or were outright harmful.

The failure rate is very high from what I hear. Which i guess is the best way to tell if a program is legit.
May be those examples should have instant results? I guess most people are just clicking them to see what it looks likes instead of waiting 100s.

Most of them look like photoshop filter as per other comments, but IU and Billie Eilish definitely looks good.
Sounds very familiar! I realized much, much too late in my career that I have ADHD; you might want to get checked for it (there are on-line self tests you can take first). I wasted many years underperforming in just the ways you've described.
I've spent a lot of time interviewing data scientists for an entry-level position lately, and it's pretty shocking to hear them describe their master's "capstone project", which often consists of a group project with some pre-cleaned data. A few calls to sklearn later, bam, an M.S.
What does the word ‘woke’ even mean?
