Same here. I would add if you experience what the OP does combined with looking around the house every day and seeing piles of unfolded washing and dirty dishes waiting for you that fill you with existential dread every time you look at them while you quietly ignore them and go back to whatever it is you're excited about at the moment then seek an evaluation.
1) The original linked article is not a link to a scientific work. Therefore it's credence should be taken with a grain of salt as news articles need clicks more than they need boring sounding article titles.

2) In science often abstracts or intros open with grand ideas before settling into a much smaller scope.

3) The rise of predatory journals, not to mention people citing pre-print arXivs means even if something looks likes a reasonable article, it's good to get the opinions of other experts.

4) Just because something works doesn't imply how practical it is for actual deployment. (I've been to plenty of chemical talks about fantastic polymers, I've only ever seen one turn into anything of value.)

Yes, this is how a lot of large companies work - I've worked at several like that.

As far as what to do, it depends on your comp. If you're still vesting, mentally check out and rest/vest until you make enough to feel comfortable. Depending on the company, it's pretty easy to get by doing nothing, and/or you can work on your own stuff on the side.

If you're not vesting anymore, the vesting amount is not worth it, or you prefer to move faster / do something, quit and get out.

Alternatively if you want to stay, a large company is a different game. Again depending on the company, but it's more about image, strategy, politics, and non technical sort of work.
Let me pose the question thusly: Is there any decision making process by a bank, even ones executed by humans, not formalizable programmatically, provided sufficient information? If not, then what's to prevent decentralized finance from working just as well, provided the same information into the system?

Yes, but it also demonstrates how difficult complete eradication of invasive species actually is. In this case, there was only a single location, and eradication still took decades and large amounts of money. Now imagine if there had been colonies at several different locations.

Most invasive species are only noticed when they are much more established and complete eradication is no longer an effective strategy.

Hi folks!

Author of C3T here! [1]
This is very much a work in progress project focused on creating accessible materials on Category Theory to get started, fast!
My perspective comes from a non-maths background and making this approachable for folks in similar positions but are curious about what Category Theory is.

The website is made using Literate Programming tools [2, 3, 4] and utilizes both the Julia and Haskell programming language.
Currently, I am working on putting together notes for the following resources:

1. Category Theory for Programmers by Bartosz Milewski

2. Category Theory for the Science by David Spivak

3. Catlab.jl: https://github.com/AlgebraicJulia/Catlab.jl

4. Semagrams.jl: https://github.com/AlgebraicJulia/Semagrams.jl

Feel free to star or follow this repository here: https://github.com/TheCedarPrince/C3T To keep track of what happens to it.

Please open issues, suggestions or thoughts on it!

That's the enforcement mechanism that ensures the test is legitimate, not the QR code.

If you fake a test result then you've committed fraud in a foreign country. If you take a real test, are positive, and travel anyway then you're knowingly violating the law and there is a non zero chance you'll be caught.

I don't see how it is theatre when you admit that it achieved its aim of having you and your wife take a test pre- travel.

Are you sure most people who use wmp in 2021 aren't just using it to watch the downloaded movie/show/etc?

Serious question, because most people just do media in their browser or iTunes (or equivalent from various streaming services) at this point.

Is VLC a piracy tool? What about mpv?

I suspect you are deciding what a tool is for and then deciding the motivations of that tool's users based on what you decided the tool is for.

Compare: The vast majority of lockpick owners just think it's a fun skill. They never use the picks other than on locks that are explicitly purchased for picking (locks they or a friend own, usually not actually locking anything, etc). Yet when traveling to (e.g. defcon) places where they will be socially lockpicking with other enthusiasts, the TSA often harasses people for being theives. It's happened to me and plenty of others because folks decide the intent based on the tool.

> The US government responded to the 2008 financial crisis with the Dodd-Frank Act of 2008 to protect everyone against the kind of speculation that caused that financial crisis.

Let's review the 2008 financial crisis.

The was a thing called a credit default swap. It's a type of insurance. If you make a loan, and the borrower fails to pay you back, the insurance pays you instead.

The insurance actuaries did the math on how much these should cost based on the historical rate at which homeowners paid back their loans. They also calculated that most of the claims would be offset by the ability to foreclose on the house, so they'd only have to pay to the extent that the homeowner owed more on the mortgage than the house was worth. That seemed pretty unlikely, right?

Enter moral hazard. If you're a bank buying credit default swaps, you don't care one bit whether the borrower can pay back the loan, so you issue loans to everybody. Banks issuing loans to people who can't afford them inflates a housing bubble.

The regulators who should have seen this and said "hey wait a minute" instead said "neat, they're promoting home ownership" and just let it happen.

Then when those borrowers, in fact, can't afford the loan payments, they default.

Around the same time, the insurance companies figure out that they fucked up real bad, so the price of credit default swaps goes way up and banks stop buying more of them. Which means they stop wanting to loan money to people who can't afford to pay back the loans, and the housing bubble pops. That puts the existing loans underwater, which would bankrupt the insurance companies, which would in turn bankrupt the banks.

Then the "solution" became to set interest rates to zero to reinflate the housing bubble, where they've been ever since, and we now have an even bigger housing bubble than we did in 2007.

The cause of this was not a fraud or a scam. It wasn't "buffers" or anything like that. It was incompetence. Nobody wants to admit that, because anyone could have asked the question, what does a credit default swap do to a bank's incentive to vet creditworthiness? But they didn't.
Movie posters are a complex subject. Way more complex than they have any right to be.

Look at the poster for "The Towering Inferno". Steve McQueen's name is left-most while Paul Newman's name is the highest. William Holden is lower than both of them and to the right, lining up with McQueen's last name. And Faye Dunaway is about half an line lower than Holden's last name.

Then there's fights about how big someone's name/picture can be in relation to others.

Look at the live action Beauty and the Beast Poster. Emma Watson gets a lot of poster estate and first billing. Then it gets a bit crazy. Not to mention, how people are billed is a bit contentious as well. You'll notice that it's mostly a list of names except the final two. "with Ian McKellen and Emma Thompson". That's because being a special mention is worth something. It's a way to give prominence to non-leading actors who are significant in other ways.

The Thor movies do this with Anthony Hopkins. Clearly he's not the lead, but dude has had a career and he was a big get for the movies. For Ragnarok, they even toss it to Mark Ruffalo, probably as a way to acknowledge his part's significance in the film.

Spider-man: Homecoming is another interesting one to look at as well as it gives a lot of real estate to Robert Downey Jr. Tom Holland has a smaller picture than the Spider-man suit, while Robert Downey Jr. is much larger than the Iron Man suit. Michael Keaton also gets the double up, but both of his images are much smaller.

A lot of the Marvel posters are good to look at to see the politicking that goes on as they do a lot of ensemble movies.

And then there's also the fact that sometimes the pictures are made before the credits are put on it. So you're locked in an image but contracts dictate name order.

I’m confused.

There’s a singular emptied walled on 1337 and nothing else +-25 at a minimum from it, I didn’t look any further.

You’re telling me that other people had exactly the same idea, but out of everyone in crypto, ever, it was only a singular person?

That seems more outlandish than the fact there’s one there IMO.
I did some work for a Large Company. One Monday I try and log in, and my hyper-secure laptop won't let me do anything. Try a few more times and then call my immediate manager, wondering if they've let me go or something. Nope, they're aware of the glitch and are working on it. I hang out and wait. Call again before lunch. Nothing. Still nothing at the end of the day. I call again the next morning. "Still working on it". I go for a nice bike ride at lunch time but otherwise hang out hoping it'll get fixed and I can continue doing my work.

In the end, it took them an entire week to fix it, and since none of it was my fault, of course I got paid. No one seemed to really mind that a week's worth of senior engineer salary was just gone. Except for me, I guess - I like coding and building stuff and fixing bugs and making things work.

I prefer startups, although I'd love to find a small stable company - one that's doing well but growing a bit at a time via revenue. Those are some of the best places I've worked.

I facetiously recommended a tactical thermonuclear explosive in a comment below, but on a more serious note, this was an issue of national security and surely they should have just used eminent domain to oust these people from their homes and then used some radical scorched earth solution as you suggest to just destroy this menace without prejudice. The British government is normally very judicious with eminent domain and will destroy your home if it is causing an unpleasant wind diversion for some species of rare seagull.
>Is it OP's position that an obesity rate of 3.9% is significantly lower than a rate of 4.3%?

Yes, in my opinion a 10% difference is significant. The source in no way contradicts that. If you believe 10% is not significant, that's just your opinion as well.
How early are we:

HN user comments on a simple phishing website that happens to use a blockchain, as an indictment of all the unrelated wallet developers, all the unrelated protocol developers, and all the unrelated consensus developers just because they never heard of the 5th largest cryptocurrency on the market before.

I honestly agree too having worked in enterprise, but see it more as an inevitability as an enterprise product continues to be supported for years and years, as the original talent is churned, and multiple generations of engineers come and go. It's why I don't want to go back into enterprise ever again lol supporting legacy huge overengineered products is rough.

The short answer is, algebraic effects allow you to build your own abstractions like async/await. That's extremely powerful.
A bunch of questions: Is multi-threading happening at the level of user-defined functions? How are threads scheduled? What's the underlying method or library for enabling multi-threading (Cilk, openMP, some LWT library...)? To what extent has this level of granularity been tested against other levels of nested parallelism (e.g. SIMD or otherwise parallel operators)? Have you tested performance by OS, and if so, have you noted any necessary OS-level modifications related to thread management? Is this part of a broader roadmap for accelerator integration?

No, it just requires not calling mistakes evil unless you should have known better. And not every example where you might hurt someone is one where you should have known better.

I think it's reasonable for users to want a workflow that includes some mode where they can temporarily compile code that has unused variable, then check in code that does not have unused variables. The trouble is that if there's such a mode, people will just leave it on permanently. I don't have solutions, but I think it's worth trying to save people's workflows.

> That does not follow from the provided info. Simply leaking the keys in some form would already be enough as a backdoor, as the data is obviously not only stored locally.

This is similar to the problem of leaving your device accidentally open, which unfortunately is a much harder problem to solve. However, we do provide a way for you to remotely wipe a device in case of unauthorized access.

All your metadata is encrypted on your device before it is backed up to Slik. We provide client side search experience so that Slik is unaware of even the keywords that the user is searching for.
> How can parallel untracked mutations of untracked state be better for engineers?

What is untracked? Is

unsafePerformIO (printLn ...)

tracked? What is tracked? Is

foo :: IO ()

thread-safe? Maybe, maybe not. What meaningful information does this signature says to me? That it does some IO? That's an extremely useless information, especially if most of your code is IO something.

What granularity does IO have? Does

foo :: IO ()

throws any exceptions? Maybe, maybe not.

The need for effect tracking for writing correct programs is way overstated by some Haskell programmers. It's usually much more prudent to write DSLs which hide effects like variable mutations and logging, than expose them.

For example you can start your program with a pure correct-by-construction core DSL, and then add logging, mutable variables where needed underneath the DSL's terms without breaking the semantics of the DSL. With effect tracking you are doomed to either reinvent custom effects to be able to switch interpreters painlessly, or you'll need to break the DSL by the addition of effects.

Neither is prudent in real world, neither gives more value than takes. What is really funny is that some Haskell programmed believe that logging should be tracked, but allocation apparently should not (yes, it's a side effect).

Where in fact all the "effects" are need to be tracked only when they are meaningful, i.e. when they are part of our DSL's semantics, and not some hidden part of the interpreter I don't need to know about.

Imagine a theorem prover function which creates a conjunction of two terms:

val conj : term -> term -> term

It doesn't matter if it allocates or logs, at the precision that is interesting to us, it's just a function creating a conjunction of two terms.

Rosetta is actually more efficient than Wine when it comes to graphics, which is the biggest bottleneck for playing games on Wine.

Metal calls are pretty much kept as-is, whereas Wine has to translate DirectX operations to OpenGL or Vulkan, like VirtualBox or Parallels.

But it's true that when it comes to raw CPU power, Wine very likely provides the best performance.

Agree 100%.

However, the manager of the other group should get some management training. He did a piss poor job at communicating. All it would've taken is explaining the group's prioritization and roadmap and the OP would've not left with "THIS COMPANY CAN'T DO SHIT!" feeling.

Now, if they don't have a roadmap, and their prioritization sucks, that's another matter, and entirely possible, of course.

> ahem: you told us to migrate to your platform

_Someone_ at $LARGE_CORPORATION told you to migrate, but clearly this team didn't. They have no idea who you are, what you're working on, what your timelines are, what the priority of this work is relative to other things happening at the company, or whether there's other things you can be doing in the meantime. Yet they actually did some diligence, got it approved (after 2 days even), and got it on their roadmap. As others have mentioned, you need to invest in figuring out how to get things done at $LARGE_CORPORATION. Acquisitions are a dime a dozen and certainly do not pre-empt things like security or compliance. This could be a great opportunity to dig in and develop a better understanding.

At large companies communication and alignment is generally more difficult to solve than any of the actual technical challenges. You may not like it and choose to leave, but at least try to develop an understanding so you can take that lesson with you.
