That’s the best part about recognizing that people of all different races, genders and creeds as people. They have exactly the same capacity to be shitty as anyone else. If this was a white executive this wouldn’t even move the needle but a black CEO is naturally held to a higher standard. Progress is measured by having their shitty behaviors reflect on them as an individual instead of their class.
Why is a state that builds settlements in other countries’ land a settler colony? Seems very obvious, I don’t really understand your point?
Those invested-in employees will probably still leave, especially if they're very good and you can't match big tech salaries. And, in any case, you need redundancies for when they're on vacation, out sick, etc. Not to say you shouldn't develop in house competencies but you should do so deliberately because there are probably a lot more costs and risks than are obvious.
I’ve started digging into Alfred (alfredapp.com) automations recently and have had similar experiences. It’s pretty easy to create simple automations using their workflow interface, and I was pleased to discover they made it really simple to publish the resulting workflow using git. In a few minutes I was able to create a workflow to pull a highlighted value and push the user to a variety of different internal websites depending on a regex match.

I’ve poked at Automator and Shortcuts a bit and found them similarly useful. The only issue is that not every app exposes functions to them yet, so there are a number of workflows I’d like to create that won’t work until the app dev adds functions to support “tell this app to do this thing”. KeyboardMaestro works well for filling that gap, but it’s a little awkward to figure out the “click at this spot on the screen” bits.
What I've noticed is that people like the name of "dig". It has some advantages though (not described in this tutorial) like tracing and setting the DNS TTL but those are really edge cases. Host is indeed much more convenient!
Taxation was invented before money. Like all bitcoin nonsense, it’s hyperbole.

The actual value of bitcoin is pretty tenuous, hanging by a “tether” that is mostly built on fraud and untrustworthy accounting.
Semantic pull requests work well for a slow pace of work, and I use them all the time.

I also recognize that for full-speed delivery, they are suboptimal in that they sit directly on the critical path. After reviewing the code of the PR, there is now an extra context switch to also review the title/semantics.

So the complexity of turning a list of PRs into a changelog does not disapper, it gets hidden within each individual PR.
Even if I agreed entirely with your point about necessary jobs etc, there is still a threshold (and I believe it is a very early-on threshold) where turning down the number of people working starts to have a detrimental effect on society. That doesn't happen with a rape and murder.
This argument that populations only send their best to the US may be true today now that immigration is limited and there are large populations of well educated foreigners but its not true for large parts of American history. Most immigration is from the poorest regions- ie Irish during the potato famine, Sicilian Italians, Cantonese from China, Germans in the 19th C, to some extent the Scotch-Irish (well educated but poor) etc.
They aren't going anywhere. We used to be told what to think and what to do by the Church, then by the State and from now on by Big Tech. It's only starting, baby. So buckle up.
ADSL upstream starts at 25kHz, downstream at >120kHz. So probably not. Purpose-designed ultrasonic hardware might be able to.
I’m not sure if I agree that the take is “weird” or not … but one thing did stand out to me about your comment: the idea that this would result in helpful structure and clarity for ICs.

We don’t know the complete extent of the reorg, but my experience at large companies and living through multiple reorgs (10? 15? I’ve lost track) is that they usually don’t actually mean much for ICs on the ground.

The reorg usually is limited to VP level folks - they get moved around, but usually their teams stay with them. It’s usually not a big day to day difference for the folks at the bottom of the org chart.

Edit: I’ve also never experienced reduced confusion or politicking as a result of a reorg. Those things seem inherent to large power structures.
Let’s not pick on people’s names here. It’s not relevant and most often the person didn’t choose their name.

It's only going to get bigger unless governments put limits on it. I don't see how you can reach any other conclusion given

1. historically institutions get larger and larger until busted up

2. they tend to buy out anyone who has a better technology and swallow it up

3. technology isn't going anywhere.
To put this in context, Varoufakis' idea plan of how to solve the greek crisis after closing the banks was as follows: His team would break into the central bank to steal the tax id archives and issue a new "parallel" currency of IoUs that might be on blockchain, but would be completely controlled by him. So obviously the idea of currency not controlled by a central authority is not one he would accept.

If you are financially independently wealthy, then you can just apply to the school and pay the full-rate tuition. Usually the way admission works is that you indicate a faculty advisor with whom you want to work. They will act as your mentor. I don't know of a situation where you would work alone, nor would you want to if you wanted to get the most out of your time there. So you would want to talk to that actual person you want to work with, and have a conversation about the fact that you can fund your own research. I imagine the funding process would have to go through the University. They get a cut of research funding, so they would want to funnel your funds through the same system set up for private grants, of which there are plenty.

So yeah, I don't see why you couldn't do this. You would just set up a private research grant with a faculty member and fund yourself with it.

A blog post of what you describe would be greatly appreciated, i’ll probably learn a thing or two from it.
This is an interesting thought! A couple of other scattered thoughts I had about this:

- Engine evaluation of a leaf of the tree will always be different and more sophisticated than human heuristics. So there's a problem where a human can't be expected to follow down some lines. Of course, this is always changing, as humans seek to understand engine heuristics better. Carlsen's "blunder" at move 33 was a good example of this, from my memory.

- Maybe there's a difficulty metric like "sharpness", some function of the number of moves which do not incur a significant centipawn loss. Toward the end of game 6, Carlsen faced a relatively low sharpness on his moves, whereas Nepomniachtchi faced a high sharpness, and despite the theoretical draw, this difference will prove to be decisive between humans. This seems like it could interact in interesting ways with your difficulty metric - for example, what does it mean if sharpness is only revealed at high depth?

- It would be interesting to take the tree generated by stockfish, and weight the tree at each node by the probability that a human player would evaluate the position as winning. Then you could give a probability of ending up at each terminal position of the tree. Maybe some sort of deep learning model trained on players previous games? Time controls add such a confounding factor to this, but it would be so interesting to see "wild engine lines" highlighted in real-time.
This doesn’t make any sense. Parent is talking about how you can make a single product with a TAM of ~all of earths population. What does that have to do with money printing/fiat, besides perhaps causing an overvaluation?

Even if those companies were overvalued, it doesn’t change the fact that technology and free trade enable hyper-scaling businesses.
This post is about the playground which is intended to work with all standards-compliant HTML (built-in and custom) elements.

iframe-ing a PDF document wholesale does not let us interact with the individual pages directly. We are trying to bring complete programmatic/stylistic control to the hands of web developers, basically making PDFs a more open file format.

The first demos of the WebPDF.pro as a product will re-implement splitting/merging PDFs in less than 10 lines of code (deferring to a select few other libraries where they shine, such as Sortable JS).

We aim to offer more and more custom elements as well as other solutions at just the right levels of abstraction to enable anyone to achieve more document-processing tasks with less code. (Solution levels: Directory → File → Page → Sub-page (forms, text, images, measurements, annotations, signatures, structured fragments))

As an example, we open-sourced https://github.com/pdf-ist/paper which lets anyone style any element with paper aspect-ratios to prevent layout shifts or serve as placeholders in mockups: created an example here: https://try.webpdf.pro/paper/
I definitely think there is a difference in the GPS quality between the generation of chipsets used. My older Apple Watch (3, non-cell) had worse GPS than my newer (5 cell).

I didn’t really notice the difference and accepted the low GPS quality from my phone until I got the newer watch with the cellular chip. Then I could go for runs with music and GPS without my phone. The difference was amazing. The newer generations of watch are much better. And cellular was better then GPS only, ironically. YMMV - I think a lot depends on where you are and the towers that are nearby.

That said — I’ve also considered just flipping to a Garmin watch. The battery life in my Apple watch isn’t enough to get me through a marathon, tracking GPS while also listening to music (I’m not fast, so ~ 4 hours).
The costs the OP described are pretty minimal.
Bitcoin has no formal governance system, on chain or off chain. Could you be more specific?

Unless you're talking about blocks/hashing power. But that's consensus, not governance of protocol.
Isn't it a simple matter of cost/benefit? If you're out of 300 bucks, and you estimate there will be a X% chance of getting that back investing Y hours at Z salary, you have a rather simple equation.
Once saw a spate of this, but using Bitcoin and websites like local Bitcoin.

Fraudsters would setup a Cash -> Bitcoin transaction on local Bitcoin. Scam someone else into fulfilling the payment, then run off with the Bitcoin.

Then the victim looses their money, the Bitcoin seller is now in possession of effectively stolen funds. You don’t want to be the seller in this equation because from the banks perspective you look like the fraudster, and it’s likely you have bank accounts closed.
> If we’d used a different chess engine, even a weaker version of the same one — such as Stockfish 12 — it may have found the 2018 World Championship the most accurate in history (assuming both players prepared and trained using Stockfish 12 in 2018).

This would be a really good follow-up experiment. If the theorized result really happens, we would have strong evidence that players are "overfitting" to their training chess engine. It would also be interesting to see how stable the historical figures look between different engines.
The Amazon marketplace thing is genius because it hacks the metrics that Wall St likes. By converting inventory to a service, they transmute a liability into an asset. Amazon is a retailer without stock.

The liability (from an accounting perspective) of the inventory lives with the mostly small business sellers who don’t care as much.

A few years ago, I implemented UI automatic tests on a bunch of iOS apps. The Apple go-to framework was UIAutomation. It was a pretty good tool for this job, albeit limited.

What I liked a lot was that the framework relied upon accessibility. To automate the testing of an app, you firstly had to make sure that the app was really accessible and then you could built upon accessibility attributes to add automatic testing.

I found it very smart because developers were incentivized to make their app accessible. Accessibility was, in a way, a tool to describe semantically a UI, so a screen reader, a test framework, the OS could understand how the UI was structured and acted upon.

One of my (really) old post about UIAutomation: http://blog.manbolo.com/2012/04/08/ios-automated-tests-with-...
How did you learn about this incident which had no witnesses?
We used web workers to shift a lot of processing off of the main thread. They helped in keeping the UI feeling responsive and less laggy.

No it doesn’t. 2FA authentication is not mandatory for online transactions in the EU. That element of PSD2 has been delayed significantly, only in person transactions have that protection. Unfortunately in person transactions are the least risky from a fraud perspective because they don’t scale well.

I ran into those problems too initially, but I've learned to avoid them. The version of Bash on Macs is version 3.2.57 iirc. This page has documentation of which features were introduced in v3, v4 (https://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/bash2.html).

What I personally do is write POSIX shell, then add in things like arrays, $BASH_SOURCE, printf %q, and a few other handy features that have been around for a while. To test it, there is an official Docker image for Bash v3 (https://hub.docker.com/_/bash).
I think you’ve got it there: it’s the “click here to sign this” thing that they’ve packaged into something a non-IT-focused company can use. It was relatively useful for them before, but with the pandemic you have tons of companies looking for a way to get people to sign agreements and submit paperwork in a legally binding fashion without needing to meet in person. The “legally binding” thing is important, I think: you could set up a click portal, but it seems like DocuSign is standing on their “this will hold up in court if challenged” claims. That transfer of liability is the other attractive element.

But his point that Bitcoin is also essentially controlled by a central authority, i.e. the Bitcoin community, has merit.

(Even if the control isn't formal, owning a large percentage of a finite "thing" still counts as control, if the "thing" is the unit of exchange for people's work, property, etc. A BTC economy would depend on what the large holders decide to do with their portion).

With Bitcoin, the community that controls the money supply is not at all democratic; it is the early adopters with large holdings that carry all the weight.

From the perspective of a non-early adopter, the Bitcoin world would be even worse then the central bank and government world. Banks can be regulated and governments can be thrown out. Bitcoin would create a tyranny of "hodlers" protected by intractable mathematics.
It wouldn't. Moves are just memcpy which has no side effects besides copying something to another address. Eliding moves doesn't break debugging, it actually makes it cleaner IMO. Actual operations on data still happen.

I'm Venezuelan. All I can say is: I know, and that's why I dedicated ten years of my life to help Bitcoin succeed, mostly in the form of Bitcoin Cash these days. I oppose socialism and understand how Bitcoin can help prevent elitists from gaining control over the economy.
I'm not sure I agree with that characterization of the exceptions. What exactly did you mean by spending infinitely long writing the number down?

If "infinitely long" means some unbounded, finite time then that gives a subset of the rationals, and the other rationals would be exceptions that we missed. If it means that there exists a program capable of spitting out successive digits then those are the computable numbers, but some of those (like pi) are transcendental. If it means that they're represented in at least one way by an infinite string of digits then our list of exceptions is now all the reals.
I think overall it is amazing. I think considering everything they had to do and everything they wanted to achieve, I think they made really, really good overall choices.

There are some things here and there one can argue, depending on what one considers the main usecase. Overall I think starting with a very small base makes a lot of sense.

In fact they actually went to large in some places and that's why they have been working on a profile that is considerably smaller, less registers and floats in int register standards.

Given that this was made by a small group of students and one professor I think its remarkable and innovative.
Unfortunately [UK member here] Mercari is US only. The only direct eBay alternative I'm aware of is eBid[0]. From time to time I check it out, when eBay is pissing me off more than usual. But it has always seemed like a ghost town.

Also, their financial model puts me off. They have no seller fees, but you have to buy seller membership [per week / month /year etc] to sell. Given the apparent lack of activity on the site and the chance that I'd get no buyer interest at all, that seems like a bit too much of a gamble to me.

There was a time when VB came in two flavors. I believe VB5 was this way: The regular version that most of us bought allowed us to use classes, but not to create them. I know for myself, this enabled me to ease my way into OOP, because I could experience the benefits without any of the major pitfalls. If you wanted to create classes, you had to buy or download an extra package, that I never bothered with. I was basically a procedural programmer who could use classes supplied to me by somebody else.

Turning VB into a full blown professional development language akin to C# was, in my view, a mistake. It kind of erased the reason for "the rest of us" to use Basic. I switched to Python instead.
No formal governance does not mean no governance. It just means obscured governance with more hidden power structures.

If people haven't read it, I highly recommend reading The Tyranny of Structurelessness, even if the political context of its writing is uninteresting to you, because the lessons are deep:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tyranny_of_Structureless...

And if course, there's value in the critiques of it too. Libertarians can learn a lot from anarchists attempts at building social structures that don't have rulers.
Haven’t read the article, but being italian and a Serafini aficionado, the funniest thing is that when his book became known worldwide a lot of fakes started to be available (mostly chinese) and he started collecting them just to be surprised about how good they were (just a few to be clear)
> If you call a function that moves its argument to its return value, that move definitely won't get elided if the function is not inlined.

Wow that's worse than I thought. This means that any pub function that does this pattern of taking ownership then giving it back should have at least #[inline] to enable inlining across crates, or maybe even #[inline(always)].

The difference to C to C++ is that in Rust, such pattern is sometimes necessary to work around the borrow checker.

In most cases mining and PoS-schemes can’t really be meaningfully called “governance”. The miners hold very limited decisionmaking power, in the case of Bitcoin they can’t do much more than censor transactions (and even that is hardly practical).

The author is literally writing about his lived experiences, he not assuming anything, just describing what he’s seen.

This article proves that "socialism" only represents the powers that be, like the World Bank, the IMF, the ECB, and the Federal Reserve. How out of touch they are, scaring people with problems from 1929 as if that was the last time the economy went sour. Life must be pretty dreamy for these “working class people” if that’s their biggest concern.
