I reduce the amount of stuff I read and spend a lot more time contemplating. If I happen to binging on a given day, I’m forgiving myself for not remembering 300 pages of new information and I’m just trying to enjoy.

If I read a technical book, I work more toward familiarization than memorization — I can just look back at the book or Google for reference.

When I was younger, I was able to memorize *. I can’t do that now, perhaps due to age, or because of experience. Now, I work toward mastery of the absolute basic fundamentals, and rely on looking up everything else.
I wonder where the search engine Blekko ended up?

It was acquired by IBM for use in Watson back in 2015. Blekko was an interesting attempt at addressing search engine problems using a thing called "slashtags" to better categorize searches.
Well that goalpost sure made a leap. Spread it out over six years and imagine the kid is pulling in real cash with a youtube channel showcasing his projects.
Correct - Either Sony/Universal launching their own service off the backs of making their catalogs exclusive, or Spotify cutting deals with existing artists to make their catalogs exclusive and then growing into being a music publisher themselves.
> While eliminating poverty and mental illness are of course lofty goals we should work to accomplish, they also seem quite difficult in the short to medium term (understatement!) so I don't think it can really be an answer.

I don't think so. It's been done plenty of times in Europe. You can do it if you want to.

> I also don't think it's all merely poverty or mental illness

I agree. I think that's just the easiest place to start to knock out a whole hell of a lot of what's going on in the US.

> Reality of the matter is, if you're opposed to gun control then you're making the trade-off that these type of things will happen

Definitely, but they shouldn't be happening at the rate that they are. I think everyone sees that.

I'm assuming drug rings and other miscreants who are really motivated will always find a way to acquire guns like they do in every country with gun laws.
They are a nightmare. I was part of a huge project to replace a large part of a telecom operators infrastructure. IBM global services ran the operators IT outsourced. The project failed after a year because of them. It was the 3rd such project to fail. The company in question couldn’t bring themselves to realise it had been their outsourced operators fault once again. Even though they had again lost the bid to do said work.

PwC/Accenture were worse. Hire arts graduates because they got a degree from a good university, chuck them on a 2 month coding/consulting course. Happy days $$$
I've found that depending on that "key part", you can actually offload the task to another process (written in C/C++/Rust) via RPC. The end result was a significant performance improvement.

I think they’ve gotten remarkably far with the language but they still desperately need to build an “opinionated subset” (of both the language and the STL) so that new generations have a hope of learning it properly. Perhaps modules will make it easier to do so in a way that allows interoperable code.

I would love to see a backward-compatibility compiler and library that is essentially whatever C++ is now, frozen in time: any “.cpp”/“.cc” file is simply built with that. All new C++25 code should be something else (maybe “.ocp” for Opinionated C++?).

The “.ocp” files would build against a complete replacement for the compiler and standard library, offering ONLY the sane subset of the original language and library that we have always needed. Finally remove all these constructs that we are not supposed to be using anymore. Throw std::iostream into a dumpster and set it on fire. Refactor all of this code that had to be implemented in weird ways simply because of the desire for perfect backward-compatibility. And finally take the opportunity to have sane defaults, which alone will probably allow 12 different keywords to be stripped out of the evolved language.

Changes to the constitution are called amendments and constitutional amendments are, by design, almost impossible.

So, if as a politician you want to amend the constitution it needs to be that figurative hill you are willing to die on, everything else be damned, and have sufficient leverage to ensure other politicians don’t have to suffer your early career death.

There isn't an "everyone else." Education research has silos, with different jargon for the same thing, and different definitions for the same words.

Close enough to the same thing. Different words. Plus, you have a bunch of related vocabulary, like forgetting curves.

But guns are a tool, aren't they? Guns don't kill people; people kill people.
Perhaps one of the reasons is that we pay EMTs $15/hr.

I was talking to a couple of them in a bar the other day, who told me this.

Told me about getting stabbed, attacked, shot and other stuff they have to deal with. For $15/hr.

Both of them were looking for other jobs.
The thing I never understood is why the jurisprudence puts more emphasis on the "right to bear arms" part than in the "a well regulated militia" part.
Many. Middle class is a lot of people. Usually it goes into sports, though.
The Underside of the ‘Great Resignation’
To add to this the scale of the data is presumably quite small as well. The geographical resolution is probably not super fine, there's only a handful of different kinds of data (deaths, vaccination whatnot) and the time resolution doesn't have to be too fine either (a day?). Even if you wanted to query it in very sophisticated ways you wouldn't need a database.
Your militia is not well regulated.

Nimporter – Compile Nim Extensions for Python on Import
"All" is an ambitious claim.

They show some papers use a bad bot detector with even worse (and unrecommended) settings. Worse, they explicitly skip bot accounts that twitter confirmed, and thus evaluate on accounts twitter didn't think were bots. That kind of mistep means it fails to show botometer is a good/bad classifier (even if we all know that), so until they fix their methodology, their misreproduction is bad scientific grounds for disqualifying all papers using it.

This is why we have peer review and you can pick what level of peer you trust your work at. I like the intent of the paper. But, I wouldn't have let it pass peer review as-is.

I do agree social scientists deserve better tools because botometer is more of a crude footgun at this point. A lot has happened since botometer, and what may have made some sense 5-10 years ago doesn't make sense today. They could have written a scientific paper showing this and I'd 100% believe it, but instead they used garbage methodolgy and people are inferring whatever they want from that.
There is a threshold where platform manipulation can destroy the value of the platform, so these companies definitely have an interest in keeping it in check.
That's fast, right? In my experience, police and paramedics are quite slow in response to gunshots, with the exception of affluent neighborhoods.
WireGuard itself has supported IPv6 since the start
Wow, that's a blast from the past. Great to see Grav still going, and still lead by Andy Miller.

Andy Miller was the founding design lead for Joomla! CMS. He also started the first template/theme shop and club long before there was anything like it in the CMS world.

Grav grew out of Rockettheme.
That's simply false. You obviously have no idea how hospital care is actually delivered. To start with, every admitted patient has an assigned attending physician who is responsible for coordinating the care team. Some things can be documented in the patient chart but there are always gaps. Clinical decision support systems for partially automating diagnosis could potentially be helpful in some limited circumstances but the ones built so far mostly don't work very well.
I suspect we're in the midst of a standardization around higher levels.

I, too, had seen "staff" as being both above and below the more-common "senior", depending on the company. In the last couple years, though, I've been hearing it more and more exclusively as being between senior and principle (and being the first step that is unambiguously on the path towards principle instead of management). The term "staff+" is one I've heard from a few sources over the last year to refer to the purely-IC roles above senior/lead.

I didn't know what to attribute this standardization to, aside from the industry as a whole evolving. The original post points to some possible causes: a book named "Staff Engineer," several conferences, and a few communities based around it.

Certainly spoofing and other forms of impersonation are the reason.

But saying that only relatively famous people deserve proactive protection doesn't strike me as a great look. Yes, well-known people are more likely to be targeted and the effects are likely to be greater but I'm not sure that's a justification for withholding verification from everyone else.

> The root cause is that which causes someone to use a gun they have or get a gun they don't have.

My argument is that the US has an unhealthy culture around guns that prompts people to acquire/carry them to make a point as opposed to a legitimate need of them for self-defense/etc. This in turn leads to more weapons being out there than necessary and more opportunities for someone to be stupid with them. I don't believe this particular shooter was involved in any kind of legitimate use of a gun during this shooting, and I doubt they had a good, rational reason to have one on them at the time. Rather, they were bored, stupid or under the influence, a gun was within reach and they decided to play with it.

> You've provided zero evidence or argument for that yet sociologists over deacdes have accumulated masses of evidence that poverty does cause gun violence and countries have responded to this in real life by reducing poverty which in turn actually reduces gun violence.

I definitely believe poverty causes intentional shootings. But so far I don't believe this was an intentional shooting (even if the original target was different); this sounds more like idiots negligently discharging a gun many times without thinking about the consequences but there was never an intention to kill or harm, so I'm not sure the usual statistics (which are mainly due to gun-related crime which can definitely correlate with poverty) would apply here.

> This is just a litany of assertions with no evidence or argument behind them which happens to contradict all research on the topic and effective policy (in most of Europe).

Potentially, and you are indeed welcome to disagree. This is just my personal opinion based on noticing an obsession with guns that I haven't seen in other countries that allow guns.
> I generally dismiss these “equivalent outcome” studies. Any midlevel will (and should) bounce the more complicated cases to their supervising physicians. Outcomes at that point are meaningless.

If midlevels can successfully detect complicated cases to a supervising physician, and handle a whole lot of other care independently... and the net result is equivalent outcomes... this isn't a massive win? You've conserved the really expensive and contended resource for where it's needed and not made anything worse...
"They're going to get someone killed some day..."

Most of the time - no. Most farms I know of have a good backstop, consistent with any "official" gun range.
And then do the same with CNN , Bloomberg, Al Jazeera, Nikkei, etc. They are all the same.
> Out of all the French dialects included in the dataset, Canadian was the only one with different wording. I'd be curious to hear from someone who speaks French about whether the Canadian version has words that are actually not used elsewhere or if it's just a matter of choice of words.

As a CA_FR speaker, I think it's a bit from column A and a bit from column B. Tho, regional differences exists everywhere so I can't be absolutely certain. Proximity to EN_US and EN_UK probably affected CA_FR differently. Levels of language also affects the variety/frequency of anglicisms.
HR is of the universally mistaken belief that a 2% raise is all anyone should get regardless of market conditions. The only way for managers to retain talent is then to promote people and dilute whatever title structure your org has.
Less guns, less shootings, less gunshot deaths, it is that simple.

But how to get to less guns in a country like the US, that’s the real puzzle.
This is sort of like saying “which metabolic process is most efficient?” across organisms. If you’re sufficiently reductive you can answer it, but only by stripping the emergent phenomenon out of the evolutionary context in which it emerged, i.e. by choosing an arbitrary definition of “efficiency”.

If you ask instead which process or language is “most fit” for its context, the answer is probably “they’re all pretty fit, except the ones we tried to design in a lab.” Seems like it ends up being more interesting to ask why they ended up being different and how it made them more fit.

Raising money is one thing. Spending it is another. So much energy is spent on policies to do the former, and seeimingly very little on how to do the latter far more efficiently. This policy proposal makes for a fantastic soundbite, but how will the additional revenue be allocated in a way that actually leads to better outcomes?

Simply increasing the top of the funnel is not going to make all the downstream inefficiencies and inequalities go away.

Also, how many times have you launched an app for the first time on windows, use it flawlessly online for hours, and then close it only to find out that there was a firewall access request in the background the whole time. Failing to allow the app didn't make any difference at all.
Also we probably wouldn't have like 60 people killed and an additional 411 people wounded such as with Las Vegas. Or the Pulse Nightclub with 49 people dead and 53 wounded. Each by 1 person.
I simply quoted it for completeness.

Feel free to debate it endlessly or amend the Constitution, etc. We have a lot of pre-existing material.

I watched the whole thing, which is too long. He gets a bit carried away at some points, but he doesn't seem to be factually wrong.

He makes a good point - cryptocurrencies are a transfer of money from late adopters to early adopters. That's implicit in anything where "line goes up" but there is no revenue, no dividends, it's zero sum, and there's no exit.

The NFT thing seems to be on the way out. The NFT industry is Axie Infinity, OpenSea, Bored Ape Yacht Club, and the little guys. Axie Infinity recently crashed hard. Their Smooth Love Potion token, the one players grind for, is down to $0.01246 (was around $0.35 at peak). Their other token, Axie, is down to about half the peak. OpenSea seems to be stalling out with limited liquidity - too many items with high prices but no bids. People are frantically issuing new NFTs every day, but the available sucker supply seems to have dried up. It's hard to tell, because wash sales to pump the price are so easy in the NFT space. This whole thing is starting to look like Pet Rock 2.0.

Bitcoin and Etherium don't look so good right now. Both are around half of peak.
Bitcoin is just a software/protocol, it doesn't have a marketing team. Personally, I think Bitcoin's biggest appeal is that it's decentralized. No one has control over the money supply. It's pseudonymous. Anyone can use it and participate. That is not the case of the US dollar, not even close. Of course, if you don't believe those are desirable properties, Bitcoin is not going to appeal to you. Regarding price, I won't comment about that since it's quite unpredictable and I have no idea.
> as if it's impossible to - you know - amend the constitution somehow, if one wanted to

Why can't we have "well-regulated" gun clubs that allow anyone to own any kind of weapon, tank or whatever? Edit: on the premises. That fits the letter and spirit of the second amendment.

And then have reasonable gun laws outside of those militias? It sucks having to worry about getting shot in a city in America.
I'm thinking of doing something similar, basically:

1. cancelling my Legacy Free Edition

2. moving my domain to another provider (e.g. Proton Mail, Fastmail, etc.)

I have some hesitance that the Google account creation flow won't allow me to do this.
As a traditional cyclist, 4 9s isn’t close to reliable enough to trust. You need a lot of equipment faith when bombing down a mountain road at 30+ mph.

Mechanical & hydro brakes tend to fail gracefully… mechanical wires will usually break a couple threads at a time (you feel this when pulling the lever), allowing riders to come to a stop well before total failure (severed cable). Similarly, you can repeatedly “pump” the levers of a leaky hydro brake to increase stopping power.

I still don't think that a stock price going down means there is excess money in the economy that needs to be parked somewhere. Someone has more money and someone has less.

The holy grail the Internet has been looking for since the Web was launched is a single-sign-on that doesn't suck in some fundamental way. It is definitely a huge friction point for commenting on a random blog that you might only visit one time.

> An annual wealth tax applied to the world’s richest would raise U.S. $2.52 trillion a year
