That list of books is interesting - I'd not heard of most of them before.

Note I'm pretty sure about half of them are admin-type guides, not developer guides; they'll be superficial, and do things like walking you through the screens to start a cluster.

One note : in my view, the official docs are harmful, because they are so poorly written, and so are misleading. I am absolutely certain, from what I have seen documented and then what I have found Redshift is actually doing, that no one technical reviews the official docs. By all means read them, but have your paranoia turned up to 11.

I maintain a web-site where I research Redshift internals and publish white papers. High on the to-do list is a "Introduction to the Fundamentals" paper, which will be exactly what you need. In the meantime, the existing white papers may be of use to you.

Fantasy indeed, where are they going to manufacture it? Being pessimist all I see is mockups, tech projections and one faked demo.
I think India has pretty strong bans over (at least foreign) satellite access. I worked at a place that made satellite equipment for various networks, including Inmarsat Global Xpress (GX). We'd sometimes get calls from customers when they were heading to ports in India because their internet would just stop working a few km off the coast.

It was one of the only places in the service area (most of the world, minus near the poles) that I know of that Inmarsat blocked out service.

(There was a way to override the GPS on the terminal to make it report to the network that you were somewhere else, but we tried not to tell customers about that - or Inmarsat obviously!)
I work at FAANG and kind of like the comp? Other teams here are generally just as bad, from what I hear.
I worked very briefly with someone who said the same: better to over-communicate. In practice this meant that they liked to write a lot, and not really read.
Some good suggestions there, especially around buying good quality keyboards and chairs.

As for the communications thing, some places have gone completely toxic during the last couple of years.

I was dragged back to work a short contract for an old employer earlier this year and the amount of bullying via those stupid apps like slack, jira and ms teams was mind blowing.

Managers pulling stupid stunts like opening half a dozen jira things against a poor drone 10 minutes before a stand up meeting, deliberately using side channels during a meeting to coordinate dog piles, the toxic nature of it had me noping out of there.

I was lucky in that I could have used the money but decided I didn't need it that bad. I would rather be broke than be involved in that bullshit.

> It's just that when someone asks me I always tell them I am fine even if I am not. I don't want to bother them with my troubles.

Maybe this is generational, but to me that's just the basic social contract?

I remember visiting a friend in North Carolina, and as we were walking a complete stranger asked "How are you?". Without missing a beat my friend nods and asks "How are you?" in reply and continues on... and apparently that was normal to him.

It's not really about asking someone to dump their troubles on your plate, it's about acknowledging the person before you make an ask.

As long as you're not pinging someone multiple times over it, I don't see an issue. The idea is just don't make someone switch contexts a bunch of times over niceties
Imagine a matrix of tightly-packed pixel sized micro-cameras opposite of a similarly sized LED screen. You could project the camera image on the screen and make the entire object appear roughly invisible.

If we had a full body suit made of tiny cameras behind translucent LEDs, could we have invisibility/cloaking suits? Is this remotely feasible with current technology? Serious question.
To respond to your question: no. Not sure why you linked me the PDF 2 specification. PDF/UA is from 2012, and the ability to tag PDF files for accessibility is a thing since 2001 (with PDF 1.4).

Various tools and packages that attempted to generate accessible pdfs from LaTeX have existed for aeons, all of they had a common characteristic: they sucked. I am convinced that by this point everyone who cares about accessibility has moved to other formats (like HTML).

In developing countries such as mine, people do their undergrad in something else and do their masters in CS after being qualified for it doing the GATE Exam. I suppose something similar happens in other countries as well. So perhaps that is why a Masters is an optional requirement.
This depends on:

It is just as irresponsible to say “we don’t have all the facts… but it could render vaccines useless and reinfect everyone and spread like measles and kill like small pox”.

Ignoring it is irresponsible. Panicking is irresponsible. This isn’t a difficult or new concept! Each year the flu is a new “variant” and every single year it has the _potential_ to be 1918 all over again. But we don’t close borders and force quarantine until we have proof it isn’t 1918 bad. We study it, we prepare vaccines and we take reasonable precautions
There was a time when we used Excel Services in SharePoint to meet some of our business user needs. I wouldn’t use Excel again, but back then it seemed to be a good trade-off between time-to-market and usability (meaning performance for most of the time).

That is referring to the executive functions of the Crown. In some cases it was possible for a Government to create or block an ordinance for a territory without legislative approval.

There is no limit over Parliamentary power. The House of Lords had judicial functions (now The Supreme Court) which allowed it to act as the second highest court in the land under the Privy Council. No court can revoke an act of Parliament. Any limits on Parliamentary power over these territories is by convention. Another interesting aspect of the British constitution is that institutions generally follow agreements even if they lack a legal basis.

Something that might confuse Americans in particular is the use of the term “government”, which, within a British context, refers only to the executive branch of government. Also the idea of a strongly defined clear constitution is rather alien… as are checks and balances on the legislature.
Gaming education system is a huge cottage industry in India. Here's a list of "services" for sale I know of first hand.

1. Impersonation during an exam/interview.
2. Project work; end to end.
4. University degrees, including PhD end-to-end. You just need to attend a few classes.

A poor or lower-middle income family has very very few escape routes into middle income group. Educational credentials is one of the best ways. A college degree opens multiple doors; government jobs, interviews in private companies etc., So the clamour to get educational degree in India is almost unprecedented. For example, the competition to get into IITs is immense. Google "Kota tuitions" for gory details. Here's a small example[1]

Seems perfectly normal to me. I would use this form if not naming my child, usually speaking to people who didn't know me, my child or my personal life very well.

However, if the child is named, then "they" would be odd. E.g. "David told me they wanted this toy" versus "David told me he wanted this toy."

I agree with your risk analysis. Destroying civiliasation by ourselves is much more likely, it even happened several times, humanity still survived, but now we have weapons which can fuck up whole planet much more thoroughly.

BUT we can still insure against more than one scenario. Having home on another planet seems easier than changing whole humanity so we should at least try.

This seems like it aids Police with free speech violating takedown requests. Police want that footage taken off Twitter, the officer only needs to tell Twitter they don't consent. Not that Twitter is a bastion of free speech, but law enforcement can just ask companies to act on their behalf. No violation. And Twitter is shielded from lawsuits.

This is why I participated in only two hackathons, but several dozens of game jams in my life - the "hacking party atmosphere" survived much longer and can (well, could before the pandemic) still be found there. All you had to do is to avoid those jams with official jury panels and non-symbolic prizes, although at times even the presence of jury and prizes wasn't enough to ruin it.

They have to come with another method then. I'm interested in a book that got published this year, and my local library has it, but it's "missing or not returned". How come? I had to register my address, my phone, my email and my national ID to get the library card. They know exactly who has the book, they could reach him by phone and have a talk "please, return the book ASAP without late fee or we are sending someone to your house to collect it and fine you".

I'm all in for encourage reading. Not so much for encouraging stealing of public property.

I know nothing of his work, and he may well be an excellent researcher, but the use of “number of papers published” as a proxy for the quality of someone’s research is one of the biggest problems in academia. What matters is the precise nature of a researcher’s work, which is a qualitative measure that cannot be summarised with a simplistic metric. It’s so odd that we even discuss such things; it’s an overused analogy but “that Einstein publishes 5 PLA papers a year” vs “that dude developed the theory of general relativity” is so revealing.

Don’t mean to pick on you personally, but as the top voted comment it feels like we’re rewarding this harmful perspective on academia. I’d like to say “academia needs to mature” but the problem is actually that it’s gone backwards, and undoing that invasion of management consultant culture and subsequent game playing into a somewhat altruistic and intellectual vocation seems like a very hard problem.
That's simultaneously true and entirely missing the point.
They are right that everyone is biased, what they completely fail to establish is how they improved their own perception. Actions justified because of the presence of bias and prejudice very closely mirror religious dogma by a more objective metric.
The way it likely works is the prof drives the vast majority of idea/IP development and the students do the work under the prof's guidance. Then the prof "frames" the paper and does part of the writing, especially in intro and conclusion sections. These profs likely don't drive any solo projects and don't do any prof-prof collaborations without students involved.
This was me last year haha. The room I was in even had unpainted walls and bare concrete floor because it couldn’t be painted while I was living there. I just looked up a picture and it almost looks like a prison. But at the time I didn’t think twice about it and I was loving life when I didn’t have to spend an hour getting to and from work.

My last job also didn’t really use webcams so being in my bedroom didn’t really matter.

I think I understand what you mean now, although it's different from my first interpretation.

I agree an open source microcode for Intel/AMD would be a very good thing, although I think if it was based on actual Intel microcode, it would need to run on an Intel or AMD processor, or require a lot of work to reverse engineer a modern Intel microcode sequencer/front-end.

If the goal is to make an efficient, microcoded CPU that implements the x86 ISA, I can see where you'd benefit from re-using an existing core, although I think you'd need to make many modifications to the hardware to get there. If using a modern Intel chip as an example, say Skylake [0], a RISC chip could be turned into the "execution engine", but you'd still need to design a new front-end to fetch/decode/sequence the microcoded instructions to the RISC backend.

I'm surprised there's not more work to do something like that. Most FPGA re-implementations of CISC processors I know of don't seem to implement a core like this, I guess there are other bottlenecks that make it a pointless optimization unless you plan to make an ASIC out of it eventually.

For invisibility to work like that for more than one viewing angle you would need to add the initial number of pixels for each angle you want to support. So it’s unlikely to work even at small sizes. So 10 angles, you’d need 10x the original number of pixels.
Is there legal recourse for such a thing?

It should fall under libel. Matt Taibbi has spoken recently about how the media in particular have no fear of committing libel:

https://youtu.be/T2uptyJrdu4

They will straight say certain things without any fear that someone might sue them for libel/character defamation. That link is a little topical due to the Rittenhouse case, but for many years they labeled Trump a variety of things on one side, and the right-wing labeled their targets in the same fashion on the other side. I’m pretty sure they also said Joe Rogan was taking horse medicine, which was a low blow. Well, not as low of a blow as insinuating Trump took part in Golden Showers (him pissing on girls, or vice versa, actual pee, if anyone needs to ask) in Russian hotels.

They don’t give a shit, and that’s just the media. Your average person now uses the same appeal to authority attack tactics in every day encounters.

What can you do if someone says you are toxic or __insert psychotic tendency here__ at work, in a relationship? The way we communicate seems to have shifted to the label being thrown out first, versus objectively walking through issues.

I don’t know, I have no answers honestly, and generally find this too exhausting to even try to dissect. I guess only Peter Thiel successfully launched a counter attack:

This is such a funny product. The original chatter telephone toy is one of my mom's favorite toys when she was a kid. She always brings it up and eventually found one at a garage sale to buy for herself. This would make for a funny Christmas gift seeing as you can use the handset for real.

Epstein and Gates are only ever mentioned together in connection with money-related events in the past decade, not the activities in the previous millennium that would legitimately have motivated his divorce.

The fact is that Gates's public persona is barely affected. He still gets to pump his investment targets and his favorite authors. It is hard to think of any examples besides Epstein demonstrating any kind of vulnerability among the elite. Even Trump is still running loose despite involvement in the first actual violent insurrection in 15 decades.

Epstein is the only US billionaire I have ever heard of so much as going to jail, never mind arraigned, tried, convicted, sentenced, or sent up. By contrast, top party apparats in China and oligarchs in Russia are disappeared every few years. Epstein is big news because it is a total fluke.

My assertion is that US elites are overwhelmingly more secure than Chinese elites, so devote correspondingly less attention to scrubbing the public discourse. Still, the ones getting transfusions of blood taken from infants are not being discussed on GMA.

Hilary Clinton had a private email server. She got shit for it. She deleted the emails so noone could read them. In order to cover up her transgressions, she accused her political opponent of doing exactly what she was doing: colluding through secret internet communications for nefarious purposes. She spent millions of dollars through several cutouts that John Durham is investigating. She colluded with the Russians to frame Trump for colluding with the Russians. She got her revenge and special council against him.

Meanwhile, a disgruntled staffer likely stole DNC "stuff" and maybe fed it to WikiLeaks. The DNC knew. In order to combat this knowing it would drop as an October surprise, they made a fake hacking claim up and blamed it on the Russians.

Confused? Hilary colluded with Russians while blaming Russians and Trump? Yep. And the emails are important because they would have shown the same level of corruption seen in hunter Biden's emails.

Hunter Biden's laptop was soaked with liquid while hunter was doing drugs. He took it to be repaired and never picked it up. The repair shop was owed compensation, and eventually the laptop became that compensation. Legally. In order to counter the heat about Joe Biden and Hunter Bidens shady business dealing in Ukraine, they accused their opponents of shady dealing in the Ukraine. This was the impeachment scandal that revolved around Colonel Vindmans "whistleblower" complaint. They tainted the waters so greatly with politics that there was no way to wade through the mess and hold Hunter or Joe to account. They accused Trump of their corruption in Ukraine.

The playbook is accuse your opponents of your crimes.
