I wish there was something like this for Windows. I know about bug.n, but last time I tried it, it wasn't that good: it had all kinds of bugs and crashed sometimes. Maybe it got better, need to check…

There was also WindowGrid, it doesn't use keyboard shortcuts, but you can tile windows with a mouse, which might be useful too.

I personally want something to tile and manage windows, like i3-gaps, for Windows 10.

Depends. In other reports, she has admitted that they way she questioned the policy was by cussing out her supervisor. She had been on the job for less than two weeks.

Given those additional facts, I don't have very much sympathy for her position.
How can you treat someone well and give someone what they want when they can’t tell you what they? If I don’t want to work Friday but can’t articulate it and you asked me if I can and I said yes, are you at fault? Negotiations are not arguments.
Web3 social networks cannot preserve privacy
While everyone is making a huge hoo-ha about web2 social network privacy, in web3 no one will be able to delete their posts thus no right to revoke. Wonder why there is no noise about web3 privacy - unless pseudonyms becomes a thing we could all just leave our toilet doors open aswell for data mining!
This is a tricky subject and I don’t think the big tech era is ending unless three things happen at once -

1. Split all big tech

2. Introduce regulations to clearly specify interoperability rules between networks and ecosystems

3. Regulations to protect privacy of individuals

The problem is if they don’t happen together the big tech will have time to work around them and so the effect will not be as good. We don’t have the political will in this country to make that happen.
Just a little update. I too got an email today from eBay saying my account has been reinstated. Just when I'd drafted a hefty email too. Oh well. I'm glad it's sorted but it's shocking how they get away with this.
If controlling money means controlling speech, and so keeping money free from regulation is a strike against censorship, then I'd suggest the problem isn't over-regulation of money, but rather that somehow money == speech. Cryptocurrency seems to make that worse, focusing on protecting the freedom of wealth but doing nothing to break the unhealthy premising of freedom on wealth.

> You probably aren't up to doing the same kind of math Aaronson does if you think the 32% of the population that opposes Roe v. Wade "isn't even a rounding error".

But that wasn't who he was referring to by the phrase "radical right who all but destroyed America", was it? He specifically differentiates between the 32% you are referring to and the "radical right" by saying that one was fueled by the other.

The "radical right" is so tiny that it's hard to even get numbers on them.

> Your purported quote, "anything that is a threat to my identity is a threat to humanity, and by extension everything produced by humanity ... like Computer Science", appears to be entirely fabricated, by you.

Okay then, how do you start with premise that "Abortion banned for all practical purposes" results in the conclusion that "Computer Science is threatened"?

Because for the life of me, I don't see any way that abortion laws should have an effect on computer science unless you trace a very unlikely and circuitous path between the two.

Do you see a non-insane way of drawing his conclusion from his premise?

> I think calling someone a "nutter" for the reasonable things they said would be far preferable to calling them that for unreasonable things they didn't say.

Sure, but I didn't hallucinate his fear that lack of legal abortion threatens computer science. After re-reading his entire post, this time more carefully, it appears to me that this matters so much to him that he confused it with mattering that much to society.

Not much different from those people who claim "You're all going to hell for eternity because you follow the wrong god".
A huge Corp really wanted our app but not the cloud based SPA app we offered - they wanted “executables” with no data stored in the cloud. Ended up creating a electron app, using our SPA and django packaged with pyinstaller that fires up as a child process. Thus a local backend with SQLIte. It’s now rolled out and works great.
1. I post anonymously. You're right that there's no verifiable information. It could be a completely fake story--like everything on the internet. However, I assure you, there are others that will report similar experiences--as we've seen in this thread. I'm certain this is not uncommon. The principles of human nature should also tell you that this story is entirely plausible. Is it really shocking that someone would be bullied because of their race? I'm sure a white, black, brown, etc, person has a story like this about another race.

2. Yes, they called me cracker. You've never heard people say that, even today? It is a common racial slur.

3. I was not describing black people as a "pack of feral dogs," but vicious kids. That's how they were acting, that's how I've described them. These kids were vicious. It's not a racial dig.

4. That's a good point. I suppose what I'm currently reading influenced my word choice there. I've been reading Joyce's "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man." In that book there's a lot of stuff about his schooling and the book was published in 1916.

5. Not sure what your point is here. I just didn't want to draw any attention to myself, at all, because the bullying was so severe. It really happened.

6. Again, it's a description of how they were acting. It's not a racial dig. They were literally acting like vicious animals towards me. I would say the same thing if they were white.

7. That documentary shocked me. It seemed to prove that some higher education institutions are being used to indoctrinate people into becoming race warriors. It's clear from that documentary that the students are under some kind of cult like "spell," which is why I linked it.

8. Robert was actually a real friend of mine. Believe it or not, this actually happened. I know maybe it sounds too fantastic or something, but it really went down like this. Robert knew I wasn't to blame for his problems. I was in a working class family just like him.

The reason why I've shared my experience is that the "white oppressor" rhetoric, although it may be designed to shed light on systematic inequalities, gets interpreted at the street level as "that white boy over there is the source of all my problems." I've seen firsthand how bad race relations makes working class communities completely dysfunctional and violent. Cui bono? Does it benefit the poor when they fight among themselves?
>But I’ve been holding off catching COVID until we get a variant with extra perks

Once the supply chains loosen up and they solve that spike protein shortage, Covid can finally open preorders for their Zeta Pro Max variant, provided enough people haven't ordered the vaccine instead until then.

Yeah biotech by its nature is super iterative and has fits and starts and takes a long time.

I disagree. Race provocateurs are actively saying that white people are inherently racist. Surely you are aware of this?
For a fact, this paper had been quoted and superficially extended several times by Sanskrit scholars I have met in the past. Typical arguments include the 'semantics is suitable for knowledge extraction', to 'replacing English as the modicum of computer instruction set' (supported by claims for disambiguity in grammar) [1,2]. There is no evidence to support these ideas. Like 'lewisjoe', I am from the same subcontinent and share the very same opinion. The reasons are more political signaling and intellectual statement delivery than actual science.[3]

A similar claim that I have heard from half baked biologists is that gene constituents ACTG will replace binary encoding in future computing (because ACTG have 4 elements as compared to binary 2, and we are the living proof it works!). While genes were researched in MSR for high density storage (Source: yours truly ex-MSR alumnus working with CS+genetics team), there is no hard evidence a base-4 biological system will inherently perform better than the mathematical base-2. We always had octal and hexadecimal bases. These have their strength and weakness. But from the CPU perspectives, base-2 perfectly encodes HI and LO voltage states and hence the adoption.

I wish such researchers took a bit of efforts to investigate their claim's feasibility and the underlying processing structure before making grand statements about computational roadmaps.

Remember when the BRICs were a trendy acronym? Obviously the individual parts have some relevance but not sure if the BRIC entity as a whole ever really meant as much as it was promised.
Basically there is an enormous amount of capital (at least £10bn from startup providers) out there going into UK FTTH builds. BT focussed too much of content (BT Sport) instead of FTTH and private equity now thinks there is an opp to steal marketshare from BT/VM.

However BT have now now committed £10-20bn, VM probably a few billion.

It will quickly consolidate like it always does.

Why do you not care? Github hosts a huge volume of code. It's also owned by Microsoft. To date, Microsoft has been pretty hands off in their ownership. But now the CEO and COO are gone, at the same time as Microsoft is ramping up its offensives on other fronts [0], [1].

Related? Maybe not. But it doesn't seem unreasonable to ask if there's anything significant in the CEO and COO leaving in close succession given the impact of a change in policy.

Infinitely long means, literally, exactly the opposite of "finite time".

In infinite time you can write, exactly, countably many digits, countably many fractions, and countably many roots. I.e., the number of exceptions is countably-infinite. But "countable infinity" is a more sophisticated concept than the problem statement called for.

I am not handwaving anything away. We're a company that has less but very strong programmers (we don't even have DevOps / sysadmins, our CTO is doing it and I'll likely be taking part of his responsibilities at one point).

And we don't have the requirements of most big Silicon Valley companies that you reference. It boggles my mind why so many commenters IMMEDIATELY assumed we're a hyper-growth startup or whatever. We're an expanding data provider and our growth is super predictable, and our set of requirements changes like once a year.

So really, not sure why you and others keep repeating things I already agree with. The cloud wins from one point / scale and on, absolutely; otherwise it wouldn't ever take off. I am saying that people give up way too quickly and run to the cloud long before they need it -- that's all.
From previous personal experience in building new plants, and expanding existing plants: Cost of deployment and slow roi are the primary drivers of stagnating local networks.

Complicated corporate accounting, carrier incumbency, and weak governments are the core causes. Carriers being publicly traded companies really screws up incentives to fix these problems. It seems to be mostly a binary decision at the top; more profit or better service?
If this is true, you are a bit of a “miracle of nature”. Catching it twice is highly unlikely. You’ve had it so many times you can’t remember if it was 4 or 5.
Many (most?) of those original fortunes were amassed by giving large numbers of people small amounts of something they’d rather have than money. It’s not only that they’d keep their fortunes in shape (what you’re arguing is a negative), but that they’d have a longer period of time to create value (and capture some of it) in the world.

Yea, they want to live forever. Just the thought of having these guys around past 90 is nauseating.

And why? They all use their money in narcisstic ways, and get out if paying taxes in clever ways. Look at every name on that list above me. Take a name, and put what they contributed to society; are we better off with their birth?

That is not true at the Ph.D. level, at least for CS at good universites. Tuition is generally paid by grant/research money, or otherwise by the department, as part of the funding you are offered. I'm pretty sure that from the point of view of the university, department, or researcher it makes no difference whether a student is foreign or not, except there is more paper-work and other complications (visas etc) for foreign students. However, foreign students may be more willing to accept the relatively low stipends offered.

The point of the article was that we don’t have a way of predicting the position at a point in time, without calculating all of the interim steps.

An analogy would be the ancient mathematicians aversion to infinites (Calculus); also, being unable to imagine non-Euclidean planes.

There may be better tools out there that we haven’t considered, because it’s so far removed from our intuition.

Edit: Was it a Vernor Vinge book, where humans had a small (but great) advantage over more established, space-faring aliens because of their ability to handle infinites (calulus)? Whereas all aliens relied on numerical/computional approximations.

Not to forget - there are more choices than big-cloud and host-everything-yourself.

One can rent VMs from Hetzner at 1/3 the price of AWS (and 1/10 the data transfer fees). No managed services, like Dynamo or S3, but will full convenience of on-demand scale-up

Or, for mid-sized corporations - buying a rack of computers, wiring them together, and installing OpenStack to make an internal cloud - that isn't some black magic wizardry either

We used to have. Now we mostly chain map-functions. But there are those rare instances where we don't operate on iterables and still need to do something many times. I've seen people so weirded out by this that they prefer to generate an iterable to work on a rather than to use a for-loop.

A good deep dive on interesting technology.

As a "solution" to global warming, we need a lot more development before this works. Or at least different economic incentives.

$800 to remove a ton of CO2 from the atmosphere is very expensive, considering that buying the 100 gallons of gasoline that would release that CO2 costs only about $300 today.

Can that gap be bridged in a decade? Hopefully.
Back when I was there, the first year of BSc was fully in German (apparently mandated by law), afterwards, there was the occasional lecture in German but usually with slides/exercises/exams available in English as well as English-speaking tutors.

There are also students from the French/Italian part of Switzerland, so there's a natural convergence towards English rather quick, at least that was my experience.

> It would be hard to simulate Kasparov as if he were taught chess in Capablanca’s time (maybe not impossible and a fascinating project, I just don’t see how you’d do it).

I don't think they were suggesting that's the result they wanted - if you could somehow magically reanimate Capablanca in real life and pit him against peak Kasparov, he might lose badly.

A neural net having the same outcome is essentially what's being asked for. Kasparov raised on Capablanca's era chess or vice versa would be unrecognizably different players, and I don't think anybody expects an AI to simulate their soul.
