I worked for a company once where IT Desktop Support had to install all software, even for teams who worked in Technology. I was tasked with starting a whole new program and needed a bunch of new tools installed, and needed to supply them with a list of all these applications we'd ever need.

Out of curiosity, after they didn't provide the right software a few times, I asked the guy how he was validating they were securely sourced, etc. His reply was "Oh I just googled it and grabbed the first one." After that, I at least sent him the links of where to download it from, but I couldn't convince any of the IT executives that this policy is pretty useless if they're just grabbing and installing.
Its not just global warming, fairly huge amount of global population barely registers it, since its not so much right here & right now making you die slowly.

Doom and gloom bombardment is everywhere, at least to some extent. Its covid, economy, ecology, politics, global politics, wars and so on. Then you go to some other place and magic happens - people are still cheerful, live like covid isnt a thing bombarding us from every direction constantly.

I am in paragliding course in south Spain now, and I can tell you. I've teleported into another dimension for 2 weeks. Regardless of all the cold hard facts, I like it very much, a breath of the age gone. Recharging batteries that badly needed it.

At the end its childishly stupid to not see forest for the trees, and living in semi-bearable misery over things one cannot change. I for a change have faith in mankind resilience and technologies future will bring, ie for cleaning up the mess we all do right now, by using devices to type/read this for example. Because we think its our right to have them, buy often almost same ones and brag on anonymous forums like this one about how much power one wields and how smooth animations are.
AstraZeneca Evusheld: Covid-19 antibody-combination – pre-exposure prophylaxis
>Immunity through vaccination and previous infection is kicking in!

Because this version is more transmissible, and (theoretically?) causes your body to create antibodies that are effective against the other variants, this version of the virus will cause more people than ever to have antibodies without as much risk of death or long-term illness. People will either get the vaccine, or their risk of contracting covid will go up.

They didn't mean "has kicked in", they mean it's starting to.
According to this old bit of documentation (https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2013/05/handling-p...), the usual way of intercepting call requests should already handle emergency calls ("Note that the system broadcasts NEW_OUTGOING_CALL only for numbers that are not associated with core dialing capabilities such as emergency numbers."), so it'd be interesting to know what went wrong in this case (and why only on Android 10 and newer), but until then it's hard to say more and it's all just speculation…
"Another INTP wouldn't fit in the team" is a great excuse for "I don't like this person". "This woman only has an IQ of 103" replaces "I don't want to hire her because she wants babies".

Hiring is hard. People are complicated. Trying to reduce them a couple of letters or a number is hogwash.

It seems that until you get a green card, the state barely tolerates your presence.

And good luck even getting to that point. If you have a family, you'll have to live without them for upwards of 10 years while you work alone in the US waiting for your number to come up in the lottery.
This is self serving, but I wrote the Classic Computer Science Problems series for developers like you—folks who work in software but don't have a CS education. It is a broad survey, using code instead of theory. It's broad not deep. They're not textbooks:

https://classicproblems.com

I also recommend Grokking Algorithms by the same publisher as an introductory book if you don't want a textbook.

None of these go into graphics at all though, so they won't help you with rendering or VR.
You may be interested in Chakra UI (https://chakra-ui.com), which has low-level details (including default theming) basically identical to Tailwind CSS v2 but is built around css-in-js via Emotion.
for what you are doing, you can probably learn more from reading id software’s open source code bases. e.g. the doom code base.
I always recommend Robert Sedgwick's series: https://www.amazon.com/Algorithms-Parts-1-4-Fundamentals-Str...

You'll also get a chance to learn C++ as you go through it.
> generally match the level of effort that the parent comment put in

Ah, that's the problem. Everyone overestimates how much badness the other person is adding and underestimates how much they themselves are adding. We all do this— objects in the mirror are closer than they appear, etc. But because this bias is so strong and so universal, if you gauge by other people's behavior you're going to badly miscalculate; and since the other person is probably doing the same, this is the way we get a downward spiral.

The solution is to stick to the guidelines regardless of what other people are doing. That's not easy, of course, but it gets easier with practice, and it's the only way to avoid flamewar hell.

I really like Tailwind, and was excited to use it for a new application at our company. However, I find the lack of standard component classes (modal, card, button, wherever) pretty limiting.

This makes it difficult to have open source Tailwind components that can be imported and themed differently for your apps.
Even after buying Tailwind UI, they are basically just code samples that we'd have to copy into our own libraries and maintain.

Again it's a really cool library, but feel the approach is probably better for smaller apps and teams.

Daisy UI might help with this, but seems pretty small at the moment. https://daisyui.com/
For people like me who don't have time to watch the talk, what's the answer to the question posed on the blog post? "Why aren’t we using the Language Server Protocol (LSP) or Language Server Index Format (LSIF)?"
Okay, conservatives control the unions. That's what you're going with? And also the unions are more powerful than the legislature.

Alternative hypothesis. The executive and legislative branches of government in these areas have completely screwed up law enforcement over the last few years but successfully ran a scapegoat campaign to blame the police.

For some reason its hard to send money overseas. This seems to be universally true in "real" finance world. Not sure why, probably regulation? If you want to use things like Western Union et al. then you can expect (relatively) high per-tx fees. Crypto doesn't have this property.
It's because economic growth is slowing down and society is predicated on a higher rate of growth than we're likely to get.

I doubt most people think about global warming at all. Most people have more immediate problems going on: paying rent/mortgage, raising their kids, dealing with a spouse or parent's health problems, etc.
It's not “easy”, but we've found that because it's based on a declarative DSL it's less effort than you might expect. And we're finding that there are common patterns that you use in your graph construction rules, because there are many aspects of name binding that end up working the same way in different languages. So, hand-wavily (not out of secrecy but because of not having rigorous data yet), we're finding that it's O(months) to get a new language out the door.

We do have a couple of other languages in the pipeline that my team has been working on, both in terms of writing stack graph rules to get precise support, and also to write "fuzzy" tagging rules to get search-based support. And we definitely do plan to include lower level languages like the ones you mentioned.

Lastly, one major reason that we're doing all of this in open-source projects is that we want to ensure that language communities can self-serve support for their languages, should they wish to. That will be especially useful for the long tail of languages that my team will honestly never be able to get to ourselves. We have some work to do to get the documentation written to properly support self-serve stack graph rules, but it's definitely a goal that we're aiming for.

Agree. Yes we have all the world's accumulated knowledge of the past 1000 years at our fingertips but does anyone ACTUALLY give a shit?

No we prefer Twitter because everything can be boiled down to three sentences from my favourite prop agitator.
There is immense value in clinical data (all the information captured and siloed through EHR). Pharma companies pay for access to it to gather real-world evidence (RWE) how, for example, their drug performs. Molecular information is increasingly valuable too for research, biomarker development, patient cohort identification etc. The imaging data and pathology data are valuable because they are typically expertly annotated and can be used to train computer-vision algorithms etc. to solve medical problems - like diagnosis.

Data. Decades of data and the societal costs of ignoring addictive substances. The rest of your comment is a set of false equivalencies.

> Not for those of us that don't invest our money in banks/stock markets, and don't take out loans. Private businesses meeting the above criteria would have boomed under those conditions, as there competitors were wiped out.

These two sentences contradict each other. You see, the competitors that get wiped out have employees who would lose their jobs regardless of how their money was stored.

I think this lecture (https://youtu.be/5ESJH1NLMLs) should be mandatory for anyone trying to improve flight safety with more automation. I think we're already at diminishing returns, and the only way to eliminate accidents caused by over-reliance on automated systems is to cut the pilot out of the loop entirely. Even in general aviation, the low-hanging fruit is elsewhere.

That said, this is still pretty cool, and I could see something like it being one component of a much larger fully automated flight management system.

Edit: link should be fixed. If I'm still crushing it, the title of the lecture is "Children of the Magenta Line."
Maybe we should change it the USA? That’s what the article is about.

Depends on your taste. (It has been decades since I devoured the series)

Science fiction has moved on since Asimov wrote that. In Foundation the characters are quite cardboard for modern taste. It is very much a product of its time.

It has less of the flowery prose that modern writers are so enamoured with

IMO there is plenty of much better science fiction both in books and on TV. But Isaac's writing is easy to consume and enjoyable enough.
What do you even mean by control? The legislature makes the laws the and the mayor often appoints the police commissioner. Just because the job often appeals to conservatives doesn't mean they get to set policy, law, and not get fired if they piss off the mayor or city government.

The Wii U and 3DS were some of the best consoles Nintendo ever made.

I get that they weren't large hits in the general market, I get that they were not financial successes.

But for dedicated folks, these consoles represented some of the very best design and product packages that Nintendo had ever offered. (A good chunk of which was lost in the transition to the Switch, like proper Virtual Console support, or Nintendo Mii's getting heavy usage, or StreetPass).

Yes, they also offered backwards compatibility, but that's not "why" they had success -- they were successful as products entirely in their own right.

>Do you have any ideas? Who is thinking and writing about this? How does one capture the excitement and hype of space to the actual importance of the ocean?

Bioplastics are probably a big factor.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioplastic

Dont need to clean up plastic in the ocean if it properly biodegrades. We need to get it to scale and costs low enough to replace oil based plastics. Which might be virtually impossible because if oil stops being used for fuel, it'll end up increasing and becoming cheaper for plastics. Eventually though the scarcity of oil and the extensive availability of corn and potatoes means you win.

Right, the redemptions. The counterpoint to that is how much do people withdraw from their investment accounts? They just go to cash within their investment accounts, while other people are still earning and depositing.

The same standard would apply to Bitfinex. Only explicit tether redemptions for fiat at the issuer cause tethers do be destroyed. People just sitting in database-fiat on the exchange during a risk-off moment wouldnt cause tether redemptions.

If a more respected exchange like say TD Ameritrade issued a stablecoin upon every deposit, it would go up and up and up too, even in market crashes, as people use their investing accounts as value storage even in market crashes, anticipating to buy dips or wait for other market conditions.

An understatement, it's a fantastic business model. As I recall they have less than 12 employees, and they have printed like $80B with zero accountability. There's a saying that a good and strong business has a licence to print money, in their case it is literal.

Frankly I am baffled it is still going, I think it has to do with it being the first, but can't understand it hasn't fallen apart since or been taken over by better designed stable coins. People called Bitcoin fairy dust, but at least its supply is determined by its protocol and its price by a market - poorly regulated as it may be. Tether is proper fairy dust, holding together thru sheer wishful thinking of this tacit agreement that it is worth $1 a pop.
I ultimately agree with not going down the rabbit hole, but I don't agree with the hopelessness. I wish I could counter the claim that "there is absolutely nothing any of us can do about it" with some specific actions. I hope someone else opines.

> things that can easily be used to create weaponry

Just to be clear, this means items like food, paper and any and all electronics.

Israel maintains a strict calorie limitation on Gaza, because Hamas turns any excess into rockets. Of course, this doesn't actually deter Hamas that much, because they care about shooting at Israel more than they care about the health of the population, and so a huge portion of the population of Gaza is chronically malnourished.

Aaron Swartz should be credited for his early activism in support of making this public good accessible.[1]

Of the many recollections of Muhammad Ali -- books, documentaries, movies -- When We Were Kings is the most effective at capturing the spirit and the charisma of the man.

I go into some amount of detail in a talk I gave at last year's FOSDEM: https://dcreager.net/talks/2020-fosdem/

For LSP, the short version is that running separate sidecar services in production for every language that we want to support is a complete non-starter. That would completely eat up my team's time budget handling operational duties.

LSIF is a great technology that lets you run LSP servers in a “batch” mode. But we really need our analysis to be incremental, where we can reuse results for unchanged files when new commits come in. Language servers tend to do monolithic analyses, where every file needs to be reanalyzed whenever any new commit comes in. If you want to analyze your dependencies, as well, that exacerbates the problem. LSIF (the data format) has recently grown the ability to produce incremental data, but that requires language servers to work in an incremental mode as well. Very few (if any?) do, and because language servers tend to piggy-back on existing compiler technology (which is also not typically incremental), it will be a heavy lift to get incrementality into the LSP/LSIF world.

Whereas stack graphs have incrementality out of the box. (This was the primary thing that we added to “scope graphs”, the academic framework that stack graphs are built on.) It's the core algorithm (which is implemented once for all languages) where the incrementality happens. The only language-specific parts are figuring out which graph structures you need to create to mimic the name binding rules of your language.

The first book in the original trilogy is a masterpiece, the remaining two is still good but not to the same high bar, and the same is true for the later additions i personally really enjoyed the first Prequel.
