Should have went to my schools cs program instead if I wanted top career prospects.
Lithuanian here too. I'm 100% certain PRC will try to inflict as much pain on my own country via some side pressure to larger companies that have footprint in the country or by pressing applying political pressure to other countries. Some say we just do what the US tell us. The others say we should shut up and know our place. But the reality is that this isn't Nazi Germany v2. It's a country that is unparallel in population. It also has tons of money and also capability to manufacture virtually anything. It also has so many people in concentration camps that the world just can't continue to ignore for the sake of having cheap pair of shoes. It's a bully. It won't stop with a little country in Baltics.
Read my comments below. It's hard to know the real truth these days.
I agree.. I wish more countries would take a stand like this. But my own country (the Netherlands) are all about commerce and big business, they don't care about ideology.
Because ads can use Javascript which is notorious for how hard it is to vet code and how easy it is to hide functionality.
I don't have time to look into methodology in great detail, but their model seems to be flawed?

CDQ is designed to correlate with age[1] and it's expected that the most recently born children have lower scores. Just treating age as a model covariate seems wrong? Shouldn't they do some kind of propensity score matching (match equally old childs with comparable maternal education, weight, etc.)? instead?

I also really doubt that a verbal development assessment already makes sense for children born after March 2020 (or you would have to limit the sample to children born in March/April 2020 and assessed just now)?

Would be nice if someone who is more experienced with this data + methodology can comment on that...

Not sure if you are being sarcastic.

In fact, The Selfish Gene was the first of his books I read. I remember coming to a point where I found myself thinking “C’mon, get to the point!” and “How many more times are you going to repeat this?”. Still, I finished the book. Also read the Blind Watchmaker and The God Delusion. We have some of his DVD’s and watched many of his lectures and debates online. Similar thoughts. It’s just his style.

Believe it or not, this is constructive criticism. Of course, he isn’t reading this and nothing whatsoever will change at 80 years of age.

He comes off as abrasive, which does not lend to someone not interested in listening to his message listening to him. If my family and I, struggled to stay with him I can’t imagine a religious person giving him even five minutes.

That’s the whole point of this. Isn’t it? To have someone in the grips of religion consider an alternative model of reality. Nobody is going to be effective (at scale) using such a style.

That’s my point. These books and presentations should not be made for those of us who left religious beliefs behind. What’s the point of that? The objective should be to bring a new message to those who may not have considered it yet.
Then that means the polices based around promoting college for everyone are equally naive.
Somewhat less free than the US. They do have government healthcare. That means unhealthy habits are a drain on government. To cut cost it is natural to look at high cost of care conditions that could be prevented. The government has to increase taxes or make things illegal to control cost.

I see that as a problem with government healthcare. It will always result in either higher taxes or a restriction on behavior.
The shell is first and foremost a user interface. Its entire purpose is just to help users use the computer. A huge amount of its functionality is in dealing with making it convenient for people to do work - from looking at command history, to skipping back and forth along a text line, to dynamically changing a prompt, to auto-completion. Think of it as an IDE.

Shell 'scripting' is only supposed to be a way to automate that IDE. It's not supposed to be a programming language. Literally the purpose is that you're sitting there at your terminal and you think "boy, I would really love to rename 100 files in a certain way". At first you write a quick one-line series of commands with a loop. But the intention is to eventually write a real dedicated program (like the `rename` command) so you don't have to write a crappy line of "scripting".

Shell scripting should remain limited in functionality, and be tailored to helping someone use the IDE. If you want a systems programming language, then develop one. Go crazy and develop new ideas and push the boundaries of computer science. But please don't ruin the shell experience by trying to solve some unrelated problems with it and end up ruining the simple end user experience.
Macron and Moon, president of South Korea, are the two country leaders left that is sympathetic to the CCP (or sympathetic to the CCP money). Germany just switched from Merkel who was sympathetic to both CCP and Putin to the traffic light coalition, which is now standing up to CCP. Hopefully Macron and Moon's party both leaves office next year with the election

There always were, there just wasn't the payment infrastructure to hoover up our parents' money in the 90s. I had to behave at computer shows and talk nicely to the adults about building computers before I was bought a video game (or make my parents drive me to a game store). Also they weren't full of micro-transactions.

If there had been ways to buy games online + digital downloads, I would genuinely have feared for my parents' pocketbooks.

Disengaging takes a while. If there's a strong desire to avoid things going kinetic, it takes even longer.

1. Fill out your LinkedIn profile with keywords related to the job you're looking for. This gives you inbound leads. Discuss comp on the first call.

2. Practice LeetCode.

3. Practice system design.

5. Use levels.fyi to target applying to places that will meet your comp expectations.

6. Keep going. Practice makes perfect.
What? Yes, of course it is. Do you not see a difference between a nuclear threat to, well, agreeing to the opening of a Taiwanese office? In what world is this even similar?
This is very hard in Germany or not possible at all (beside maybe FAANG).

I have a PhD in Machine Learning (including Papers at SIGKDD / ECML / ACL etc.) as well as relevant working experiences and it is just not possible to get this numbers. I tried really hard to get something that pays this well (beside FAANG) that hire here because i can not move (family stuff).

I once talked with Google and Amazon Research (before Covid) and they told me no remote only (thats why i skipped them for now). Did this policy changed?
Right back at ya: "Which version of Ruby and Rails?" :P

Because to me - RoR is in the death spiral period that the original ASP.Net was in before Microsoft threw the whole thing out and started over with the Core version.

Namely: Rails trys to give you opinionated best defaults, but the "best defaults" have changed dramatically since the framework came into existence. So you end up with 6 very different set of opinions as the framework has evolved, and the documentation is poor (honestly, at least ASP.net had okish docs - I find Rails docs pretty damn bad) and you get a complete wash on 3rd party sites trying to find relevant info for the version you happen to be using.

Also - Unlike MS and ASP, Rails doesn't even fucking try to keep naming consistent. They seem to favor making the syntax as close to natural language as possible, often deprecating the old syntax in favor of new method names solely "because it reads better". Which drives me freaking nuts.

Inertia will keep it running for a long time, but it's not the thing I would pick for greenfield projects anymore.

Parents only one or two life experience, and likely in a narrow range dictated by socioeconomic circumstances. They also have their own baggage in addition to any wisdom gained, otherwise we would be listening to them more.

I have no advice on how to overcome the wisdom/experience gap and unrepaired damage accumulated over time.

Yeah, that's what I just said.

Reminds me of my wife. :)

After her PhD, she was writing cover letters that were screaming "I hate the recruitment process".

One day, something clicked. Her next cover letter read like the first chapter in her bibliography. And one month later, she had too much work. :)
Yes, times are tough for everyone, including children. I find it even more abhorrent to single out masks because "you can't see people's faces", while ignoring what their purpose is and what can they prevent. We've seen enough idiots decimate their family and friends while repeating this exact same argument.
In a perfect world I'd be able to set a weekly calorie limit. Charge me double the cost and send the overage to the charity of my choice for any food over the limit.

A government body limiting who can buy food isn't really a good idea, so it only works in utopia. It could work for non-essentials though.

Name a prohibited substance that (1) poses no threat of destabilizing society or the health care system, (2) has centuries of cultural context, and (3) isn't on the verge of being legalized right now, like cannabis and psilocybin.

The imminent legalization of psilocybin makes my argument for me. It was an argument isomorphic to the one this anti-smoking piece made that banned it in the first place. And as a society, we're charting a course in the opposite direction of that argument, because, it turns out, that argument was dumb.
UAE as well.
This is super cool. I would only consider using a self hosted open-source version of this since I am sending you sensitive info via email. Enterprise or business users will probably be in the same boat.
>Sweeping generalizations aren't really adding to the discussion here

That sentiment fits individualist views and policies, where it behooves us to hear out individuals and consider them on their individual merits.

However the view and policy discussed (limitations on individuals for common good) is explicitly a collectivist view and policy. Applying a sweeping generalization to a collectivist view and policy is fit and proper by the very nature of collectivism.

Edit: corrected a typo from "individuals" to "individualist".
Cool idea.

Let's recenter the definition of genocide. From google:

> the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group

Now to your points:

> religious conversion

1. No, forced religious conversion is not genocide in my book.

> Forced sterilization

2. Look, I'm not a fan of this law either, but sterilization in-lieu-of fine is one of the remedies in China for breaking the two (previously one)-child law and is also applied to Han Chinese. The Uyghur population is still growing at a faster rate than Han Chinese.

> the occasional organ harvesting

3. Awful and at large scale, absolutely a genocide. My understanding was that this had been done against Falun Gong in the early 2000s - do you have evidence on this practice continuing against Uyghurs circa now?
One of them is still in its infant stages (so requires lots of Googling and package downloads, etc), and the other is a Chrome extension for a specific website.

Well, don't bail out the advanced degree holders.

I like your rhetoric of the liberal POV as actually conservative - "trickle down". But it's not working.
Spot on. I mean OP is in an absolutely savage situation. Understand the pitfalls to lots of money (drug abuse, filling void with purchases, etc)... but besides that just focus on solving problems, discovering more of the world, or helping others succeed and build on society themselves.

Not that complicated.
My immigrant parents ingrained in me that if you work hard and get an education and a degree that you'll be set for life, which is what I now know as just part of the equation.

My teachers at my liberal arts focused high school definitely were more of your opinion of "broadening your horizons" and "being an educated member of the community"

My argument is mainly that not enough people know what they're getting into they take 10s or 100s of thousands of dollars in loans to get a degree
Those are also important factors in being successful in jobs; you need to co-operate with your team-mates, stakeholders, and leadership, and to do that well involves having good rapport with them.
Half the problem is no one has actually expressed a goal we're working towards. Covid isn't going to go away (at least not for a while), which I think everyone at least implicitly accepts at this point. The people who are going to get vaccinated largely have (especially in a few months with the OSHA rule + booster rollout). So what are we even doing?
Yes! Physical fitness is super important. If you have trouble going routinely, find something more interesting, like rock climbing. Use a bicycle for personal transport if you live somewhere civilized.
I imagine children's physical health is actually being severely affected as well, especially for children in lower income families.

I would expect less physical movement overall (bad), more respiratory issues from over-wearing masks, anxiety manifesting as physical issues, and a host of other second order effects.

And let's not forget that poorer kids worldwide are facing less access to dentists and other preventative medicine overall. That people are letting this stuff slide while 'health' companies post record profits is maddening.

Yeah, i've been using MinGW (and now MinGW-w64) for practically decades now, originally via MSYS and later via MSYS2 and i never remember having and real issues with it - i even did some DirectX programming with it.

The only thing i remember being an issue at some point (and perhaps still is) is that it relies on msvcrt.dll that theoretically isn't part of the Windows platform but in practice that DLL has been there since Windows 98 and the chances of this ever being a real problem are zero - so it is really an "issue" about discussions with hairsplitting pedants than a practical one :-P.
Furthermore, relatively few consultants have an endless stream of work that allows them to just work as much or as little as they want to each week. And, even if they do, some non-trivial percentage of even their working time is going to be non-billable hours related to administration, education, running errands, etc.

I'm confused...Crossover (a commercial product using Wine as its backend and contributes back to the Wine project[1]) uses the term "bottles" for its container-like method to install Windows apps on Linux and macOS. Is this an offshoot or extension of Crossover, or is it a blatant ripoff of their already existing service and name? Codeweavers (the makers of Crossover) have been using the term "bottle" in this paradigm since at least the late 2000s[2].

My two cents: being happy most of the time in your career is an impossible goal.

Everyone struggles. Sometimes they are miserable, bored, frustrated, burned out, overwhelmed, confused, tired, etc. no matter what career you choose, how lucky or skilled you are.

This is not to say that attempts to improve are futile, but it’s better to dispel the illusion that career heaven exists, so we have a sober and liberating experience when dealing with its challenges.
I'm currently 27, and I would really like to know where are those people who make 120k on a 40h/week job working, and how do I get there!
Much of that is details and execution. My late model Japanese car is nearly maintenance-free, my vintage Swedish one not so much. Both brilliant.
As a side note, if you're looking to be able to access offline documentation for the entire tech stack for any projects (primary or otherwise) I highly recommend https://kapeli.com/dash (or https://zealdocs.org/ for other platforms).

I also find that when working on a laptop with limited arm mobility and screen size, it's tremendously useful to be able to switch between IDE, documentation, and browser (for localhost review) with a single keystroke. On macOS I use a combination of Karabiner Elements and BetterTouchTools to bind my caps lock key to hide or show my IDE, and other apps to command-caps-lock etc.; having an instant, tactile hardware switch between IDE and non-IDE is almost as good as having double the monitor space!
I have not painted anyone as evil. I suggest you reread what I wrote and take it at face value. It appears to me that you are projecting and making some assumptions about my views that aren’t supported by anything that I wrote. My post is about imbalances in the present system. It is my view and contention that the current federal system for apportioning senators and representatives is not sustainable. Everyone is free to advocate/fight for what they believe. I’ve not suggested otherwise. A system in which a minority viewpoint regularly impedes the legislative spending agenda of the majority is not sustainable long term. There is a power imbalance. The problem of this imbalance will exacerbate largely along rural/urban lines until something gives.
1. So they're working to help people avoid becoming extremists?

Blaming Facebook for your problems is hiding from your problems. If people are too stupid to avoid becoming extremists, why is that Facebook's fault, that's our fault as society for failing to educate them.

Maybe they should unencrypt WhatsApp so they can find the extremists more easily

The whole book, "Good to Great" is worth reading for technologists. For one, it is a classic business book, and all working technologists should have a passing familiarity with business. It also is a helpful framework for evaluating choices.
The only reason our nation exists is because of the agreements made between large and small states. Rhode Island was not interested in being completely politically eclipsed by New York, and rightly so. Tyranny of the majority is still tyranny.

The system set up 250 years ago was and is a wonder. When you cry out for sweeping change you ignore what happens if the transformation is prosecuted badly. Most revolutions are not conducted with any measure of restraint or wisdom. They end up like France or Haiti or China or Russia or on and on.
