I actually love the idea of being able to interact with websites via a standard API rather being forced to use web-based UI they provide.

That's what HTTP is. You're free to write a client that isn't a browser that sends and receives the same API messages as any HTTP client app does. Most people use browsers, but there's also things like iOS and Android apps that consume the same APIs as browsers, or Postman that directly communicates with the APIs, etc.

The APIs that sit in top of HTTP are even sort of standardized in the sense that HTTP verbs mean the same everywhere (in theory, but some devs get it wrong.)

Thr only hard bit that no one has really solved in a nice way is how you discover the APIs in the first place. There's things like WSDL but it's horrible.
There is nothing here that deals with the fundamental problems of nuclear power

* Long term waste. Must be contained for hundreds of thousands of years

* Decommissioning. Nothing lasts for ever. What do we do with an old reactor vessel and the land it stood on?

There are many much better ways of producing energy. But unfortunately for the greed heads they are mostly decentralised (wind and solar are ready now) which means big industrial cash generators do not result from them.

This is a boondoggle. I wish I could say it is the last gasp of the desperate, but it is the core of the military industrial complex heaving its weight around.
The opportunity loss is what I don't get. Without the debt you can take on new debt that could be say a rental property or business loan.

How is a bunch of money tied up in debt, and an equal amount invested to hedge that not a huge opportunity sink?
In this case there may have been a concern about cops wandering off with some of the cash. Note the effort to film finding and counting the money.
I've spoken English for years, but mostly online with foreign people or when abroad myself.

But recently I started working a place here in Norway where all communication is in English. Speaking English but often in a Norwegian context, have made me sometimes grasp for these kind of words. Like "romjul" when trying to ask who is gonna be oncall this christmas. Or asking if people are going to "Syden" during their summer holidays.

Syden is not on the page, but is generally when you travel south (italy, spain, greece) to lie on a beach and drink cheap alcohol.

When non-tech folks ask me how to learn programming because they want "jump on the money train", I ask them if they ever take the initiative to solve a problem with programming. You don't have to work in tech to do this. For example:

Work in an office writing documents and making spreadsheets? Have you ever simplified your job by writing a Word or Excel Macro?

Own a smart TV? Have you dug into its features until you know them backwards and forwards and can program it to (metaphorically) sing and dance on command?

Have you connected multiple things in your house together so you can control them from your phone, just because you could?

These are all examples of taking the initiative AND having the curiosity to dig into technical problems, and implement solutions. If you are like this, you will likely do well in tech and really enjoy it. If you DON'T have the tendency to do these sorts of things, you are probably going to have a bad time.
A Step by Step Guide to Passing Big Tech Interviews
There is/was a fairly straightforward explanation for the fiscal stimulation of home ownership and in the 60s government was not very coy about describing it: home ownership ties people into their respective communities by giving them a very tangible piece of "skin in the game". When you own a very expensive (relative to your total net worth) piece of real estate, that gives you a real incentive to take care of your local community. This in turn improves the stability of the society as a whole, since the large group of homeowners is not in favor of any real upheaval which might threaten the status quo.

Exactly that. Interviewing has become so ridiculous, it's not worth it. One has to wonder if there isn't collusion among larger companies to make the process so painful to reduce employee turnover and consequently also salaries.

I was working in tech in the 90s and interviewing was just a chat on what I'd like to do, what they need done and if it looked like a match, let's do it. And I'll argue that jobs were more technically difficult then (assembly language, C, kernel work, attention to optimization since hardware was slow, etc) compared to the typical job these days of gluing AWS components together for yet another CRUD app functionally identical to every other.
> As I pointed out in my previous post, your previous post consisted of a series of points in which you were saying, in effect, that Veritasium was correct, and if you want to reverse course on that now, I think you owe us an explanation of how the chain model explains what happens in the first second after the switch is turned on.

It depends what level of detail you want to explain. The chain model explains pretty well what happens in the steady state of the circuit, as long as we take the chain links to represent EM waves and not actual electrons. It also suggests that the motor starting to move the chain will cause some amount of motion to happen at the middle point by radiating mechanical waves through the air/ground. This explanation is actually equivalent to the amount of detail that can be gleaned from Veritassium's video - since his explanation also doesn't give (a) any quantitative description nor (b) any idea of what kind of motion/energy is being transmitted.

Of course, the chain analogy is nowhere near good enough compared to the transmission line explanation. Apart from the quantitive issue, the biggest weakness is that it predicts some kind of random motion, whereas the actual transmission line model predicts a current in the same direction as the final wore current.

A closer mechanical analogy which might actually have the necessary features (though definitely highly dampened) would be using a loud speaker and a water pipe. The loudspeaker will send a mechanical wave through the water pipe which will travel at the speed of sound through water, whereas water molecules will move in the same direction but much slower, similar to the real electron movement. Secondly, the sound waves will also travel through air and quickly reach the mid point of the pipe, and here they should actually cause a smaller sound wave to start traveling through the pipe from that point as well, in the same direction that the final wave will travel. The magnitude of the effect will be much smaller than in the EM case, but the other characteristics should be similar.

In fact, this sound-wave-in-water-pipe model would also predict the right phenomenon if you had two close parallel unconnected pipes, and were sending a sound wave through one of them - the sound wave would be transmitted across the gap and through the second pipe as well, even if the source were far away. The chain model might predict something similar here, but at a rate that is below our normal ability to notice, and thus outside our regular intuition.

I think that 'Fika' is an interesting one. In Spanish, or at least in Spain, 'to go for a coffee' implies the same things that 'fika' does. Nobody expects to buy coffee to drink at the office, or at home, as to talk and socialize is more important than the coffee itself.

I guess that in English speaking countries it could mean literally to go to buy a cup of coffee and hurry back with the coffee to your desk. Wouldn't 'to for a beer' have the same implications, maybe with more noise, than fika but with beer instead of coffee and cookies?
Oh, I see what you're saying now. Your teacher showed you the equations explaining a classical (pre-semiconductor) diode, then showed those equations predict some aspects of semiconductor diodes.

Yeah, that doesn't mean that diodes don't work in a fundamentally quantum way. There are a number of details about diodes (for example, the emitted frequency of light in an LED) that are very specifically due to quantum energy transitions of electrons in outer shells. It doesn't get any more quantum physics than that.
Overloading << is part of Stroustrup's iostreams toy and thus enjoyed the advantage that the language's creator was advocating it from the outset (it pre-dates the C++ standard library). I doubt that anything so ugly and dangerous would be standardised even in C++ today.

Because this is actually still a shift operator, it retains all the precedence of the shift operator even when tired humans think of it as as a clever new stream out operator. So if you're in a situation where shift has precedence, the operator fires, and too bad if that wasn't what you'd intended nor what makes sense to a human reading the code.

Oops.

Some languages let you mint new operators (from some limited combinations of symbols) or allow infix function calls, or by some other means provide for you to nicely extend syntax here, but the overload of unrelated operators was IMNSHO an ongoing disaster whose popularity with programmers is unexplained, like C's decision to treat an array as just the pointer to the front of the array.

But I'm a cranky old man, I also don't like the fact that Rust's + concatenates Strings (this isn't inherent in the language since String isn't a built-in type, in Linux kernel Rust nothing like this exists, because Linus would throw a fit, but in the out-of-box runtime environment Strings implement the Add operator as a concatenate operation).
Right. I think about that every time they uncache one of these hoardes. Some guy buried his life savings thinking "I'll come back later", and then something intervened and he never even had the chance to tell someone where it was hidden.

Helps them, and hopefully helps me keep sick employees away from the factory.

Maybe you think you can mention "that ... theory" without endorsing it in any way. I say that even mentioning this completely bogus garbage in a way that doesn't say that it's completely bogus garbage is effectively endorsing it. That's just the way communication systems work, unfortunately.

I'm not implying that you believe "that ... theory". I am saying that it's essentially insane, has no credibility, and is spreading only because people mention it in this sort of "offhand" way ("oh, I didn't mean anything").

> It's not uncommon with tiling WMs that have good multi-monitor support, but you really can't find it in traditional WMs

That's because this feature is not a Freedesktop standard. The X11 root window have a property _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS and a few more[0] to help implement this behavior.

Most tiling WMs choose to ignore this standard in favor of this great feature. But the WMs of Gnome, Xfce, KDE, etc... will probably never implement it just in case some apps don't support it (like some games that needs to be floating windows in tiling WMs).

> Seems like the answer is no. A growing city needs 1) housing and 2) public transit.

And it has housing and will build much more. And growing cities do not need public transit. Please see: Houston, Atlanta.

Houston makes the Bay Area look quaint. It is a legitimate megacity and has far fewer impediments to growth than the Bay Area.

But on that note, Austin will not escape the fate of San Francisco because the people whose mentality has serially ruined SF, Chicago, NY, Portland will continue to move there and inflict their failed ideas on that city. I lived in downtown Austin for 10 years and was a staple member of the startup scene back when the whole community could fit in the top of Buffalo Billiards. More fun, I was a staple member of the downtown bar scene for that period, and if you were there any appreciable time, there's about a 50/50 you met me.

I left in early 2021 after being physically assaulted on 3 occasions by homeless people (once by 4 at once). There's over 2500 homeless people downtown because of the Mayor and DA. I loved that city. It was the only city I ever really considered home, and it decided to end itself.

> "we don't need Senior Engineers; we have really smart management to do the thinking ahead etc. for the junior engineers"

Wow, this bit makes so much sense. In my experience, most managers tend to add more layers, almost as a goal, but pay little attention to the seniority in such layers.

For example, one of the managers I work with, restructured the organization in a way that would essentially put him at a VP level, given the company guidelines; but most of the team leads had less than a couple years of experience in their roles. Senior engineers with any experience and weight in the company were a rarity.
I don't think there can be a checklist for things to look for, same as there can't be a checklist for a startup that will succeed.

You should really base your decision on your alignment with the mission and fit with the people there. That sounds corny but is probably the best formula for success.

Especially if you're an engineer, things that seem ridiculous to you could actually end up getting the traction needed for a successful exit (source: I'm an engineer who has seen lots of things I thought were ridiculous pay off and lots of things I thought were important lead nowhere).
Not really. "I adore you" is literally "te adoro". "Querer" in Spanish just means "to love", it's a synonym to "amar", also "to love". "Querer" is more common language and applied non-romantically all the time, and "amar" is more poetic and veers more towards romantic love, but they both mean the same. BTW, "querer" means "to want", but when it is used to convey love (easy to tell by context), it doesn't ring of objectification in any way. "Quiero a mi familia" is the simplest, clearest, way to say "I love my family".

> Is causality really a fuzzy concept? For example I assume if action A causes event B I assume the connection is 100%. Can we really say that action A has a 30% chance of causing event B?

The world is probabilistic at the quantum level so I don't see how it could be otherwise.

> I ask because the more I think about it, when someone says action A causes a 30% chance of event B occurring what he is technically saying is action A is one causative factor that must occur and that we're missing information about other causative factors.

To my knowledge this has been physically disproven: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden-variable_theory#Bell's_...

(Note I'm just responding to your philosophical question, not the biological one. In particular I'm not suggesting anything about the practical relevance of quantum effects to the biology discussion here, or lack thereof.)
Regarding risk for the initial underwriter, there are two main elements I think:

- fallout risk https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/fallout-risk.asp

- pipeline risk:
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/mortgage_pipeline.asp

For the fallout risk an originator can typically model the impact on the value of a mortgage with a conservative low digit basispoint estimate (following past fallout patterns that have been observed for example), for the pipeline risk the originator may do some more exotic price modelling by deriving implied interest rate volatilities from market prices (of interest rate derivatives).

Both risks are relatively speaking minimal given their short horizons and the (current) low volatility of interest rates.

It's worth noting that the two provided references disagree on their definitions of reproducibility. Plesser quotes ACM as reproducibility being tested by a "Different team, different experimental setup", consistent with use in the GP's comment, but ultimately seems to favor ignoring "replicability" and instead using "reproducibility" in combination with various adjectives. The common understanding in the physical sciences is also that merely re-running the same code is not a test of reproducibility.

Yep I agree on one hand but on the other, getting to that point is being 95% out the door anyway.

I’m impressed with how little yak shaving there is in this repo to run a Go binary in android - and one that uses embeds shaders and uses OpenAL - i was expecting to find a ton of code written just to interface with android / java, never mind the 3D and audio bindings, but the repo is instead mostly just filled with code dedicated to making the game.

If you really can focus on building your app and just rely on GoMobile like this then Go seems like a viable language for at least building android apps.
