It is clear that the way things are going, even the most passionate C++ developers can't make use of the language in a full safe way, understand the changes between revisions, and naturally Scott Meyers can't write books forever.

I certainly wouldn't manage a C++ interview quizz, even though I try to keep up with it.

The university where I studied during the 1990's, C was already on the way out.

First year students got Pascal and C++ with proper set of vector, string and other common data structures. This was a couple of years before C++98.

All data structures used bounds checking, and it was great, because the professor has a similar point of view as I, so C++ was taught as a kind of poor man's Ada in regards to safe coding.

What about C? Well, those taking OS classes were expected to be able to dive into it from C++ point of view.

However, this isn't normal, most institutes follow the more traditional path of C with classes, and most of them, hardly moved beyond C++98 anyway.
I’m going to clone and fork, this looks like a really great project for me to cut my golang teeth on for that very purpose.
I know the title here is accurate to the original title, but what does this have to do with the fact that he is a white collar worker? Also, given the exceptionally low IQ, I am not sure it is truly “white collar” work as the term is normally used (normally referring more to knowledge workers). I assume whatever admin work he was doing was more akin to routine factory work with little agency.
If I were held on a cruise ship for an extra day for this reason, I'd be furious.
I always first ask if they've ever used VBA in excel, and if so, for what?

eBay blocks my account for suspicious activity every time I post something. Completely unusable for occasional use
Wechat does this to me just to use the app. They keep making me play stupid recaptcha games and do verification codes then ultimately block me anyway. I finally gave up on using it.
I wasn't really looking for an explanation, I've been doing this for a while so.. thanks, I guess. But it seems you're quite knowledgeable. Why not put this to good use and sign up as a guest on some of the staff engineer podcasts to talk about how to talk about working and cross-team synergies? I'm also curious about various flavors of staff engineering. Like senior staff for example. Do senior staff engineers wear patches or shoulder loops?
On my iPhone Xr, older than S10, it loads very fast. Also performance depends on which page you benchmark. Landing page is faster for UK, but the cases pages is about twice as fast for the NL dashboard (time to interactive 2.4s for NL vs 4.4s for UK). Also first meaningful paint is faster (0.5s vs 0.8s). This proves that you can get decent performance without an overly bloated costly architecture.
BLAKE3 only reduces the rounds to 7 from 10 in BLAKE2. That only accounts for a 1.42x speedup, not the > 5x speedup seen in BLAKE3 for a single thread. Most of the speedup comes from the hashing mode which breaks the input into a tree of independent chunks and then using SIMD to hash several of them in parallel. Additionally, the Rust implementation even allows even more parallelism using threads.
Testing, and time. Whether we like it or not, diesel engines are used for many heavy duty applications, such as trucks, generators, etc.

Did you read the article? He's talking about the offerings Pfizer is expecting to have.

Pfizer is expecting to have a yearly vaccine rather than a frequent booster for sale.

The people making the thing are sharing their expectations on what they have to offer, there's nothing clever or relevant about your analogy.

We've reached the point where any empty display of cynicism is seen as weighty as long as it goes against the "COVID establishment"...
Well, there are other topics besides CS one might want to get a PhD in. Also, this is more than a bit hyperbolic:

Imagine you had a million dollars of cash right in front of you.

Just because you don't get a PhD doesn't mean you'll get a FAANG salary. And even then there are these things known as "expenses" and "taxes". A cool million in savings, post-tax and disposable is more than a bit of a stretch.

And it doesn't take a PhD to figure that out.
This can easily be dangerous advice. The risks include: a criminal record if caught when purchasing; doing negative life-altering activities while on the drug; and temporary hospitalization due to LSD-induced psychosis [0]. Some people also end up taking LSD way too often, though it's not physically addictive, and become disconnected with reality. You also put yourself at a disadvantage with any roles that require a security clearance.

These risks can be mitigated, but they are real, and I absolutely disagree that someone in distress should be recommended LSD as a go-to, especially without mentioning these caveats. You can get a lot farther treating depression with lifestyle changes (sleep, diet, exercise, reduction of alcohol consumption), professional counselling, cognitive-behavioral techniques, a reassessment of relationships and friendships, and working on causes of depression, versus LSD as a go-to.

Similar happened with opium poppies in Afghanistan iirc - paid money to burn opium fields, meant that farmer planted more opium fields.

Then when they stopped being paid to destroy them the farmer returned to selling the opium from the fields they’d already planted.
It's really the homogeneity that hurts the natural sciences, when it can strike deep enough.

Politics just drive homogeneity across the board, and favor the softer targets.

But Feynman's certainly not alone.

I first noticed this trend in the 1970's myself.

Plain to see it was only going to get worse.

If you don't want to experiment on the same old Shinola the same old way, the mainstream's not really going to be for you.

As for the article, in kind of an anti-meta meta-analysis the only worthwhile data are the "Measures of Document Similarity" and everything else is the political stuff they are ranting about but they're not doing it in a scientifically similar way to be very comparable.

Even though the graphs are all equally pretty, in natural science you get the only data solid enough to make fair political decisions based on it.

Any science that's not "natural" enough to overcome all serious doubt (other than things like superstitious doubt[0]) would ideally have all agendas removed then become fully "naturalized" before becoming a basis for decision-making, especially political decisions.

Oh, well.

[0] "Superstitious doubt" includes an unrealistic lack of belief in cause & effect for something that's definitely going to happen, the opposite of a cargo cult which I would then term as "superstitious anticipation" which is their unrealistic belief in cause & effect for something that's definitely not going to happen.
In my company staff engineers are the highest level of non-manager engineers excluding principals. It's a position above team leads reserved for engineers whose role is basically leading in stack and architectural choices that the various team apply. A staff engineer e.g. may research and implement some new i18 library that solves major pains across the org.

Stadf engineers generally require good engineering and coding skills and large domain knowledge that engineers working on few projects do not possess.

But it's also a promotion path for seniors whose job hasnt changed much in years.
I studied MIT's development policy course. I was surprised how many times I guessed something and the results were different. A qualitative interpretation of RCT results is the end game. It was hard to do it right, and easy to do it wrong.

I find the design of RCTs very artsy.

This is fascinating. Something like 80% or 90% by volume of this person's brain is "missing" but they are still able to function normally in society.

Why the focus on PhDs?

The exact same argument could be made for highschool, or even elementary school.

Password reset functions for most providers often make 2FA hardware/software tokens useless. They fall back to email/sms to reset forgotten password/tokens. I guess it’s usability for majority over security that would lock out users.
The most philosophically and mathematically consistent interpretation of Quantum Mechanics is that there are "many worlds". This is a very strong hint (but not proof, per-se) that there isn't a singular, unique Universe in the classical sense.

In other words, there is a continuum of possibilities where all scenarios consistent with the laws of physics are played out.

Note that this is not evidence (not even circumstantial) that there are other universes with different laws of physics. Just universes with different states or boundary conditions.

Still though, if MWI is true, then there are effectively infinite possibilities in which the chance of life occurring somewhere approaches certainty.

Admin work is still white-collar work. Basically, if you can get grease or dirt on your clothes, it's blue collar; if you can't, it's white. (Because people didn't wear white shirts in jobs where they could get dirty.)
I disagree. Expressing your frontend layout as code is not over engineering at all imo. It makes it easier to re-use code and is great for testability. Next is perfect for this use case. I actually think the code is quite elegant too. It's open source, so don't take my word for it, but have a look for yourself: https://github.com/minvws/nl-covid19-data-dashboard/tree/dev....
> Even the author of Java, James Gosling, disagrees with you.

From the article:

> Interface inheritance (the implements relationship) is preferable. You should avoid implementation inheritance whenever possible.

Key words: preferable, and whenever possible. It's sometimes preferable to have inheritance and not possible to leave it out without unneeded extra complexity.

Furthermore, nowadays interfaces in Java (as well as Kotlin, Scala, C# - all of which are much more expressive and have superior modeling capability than golang) can have default implementations, which increases their application even more and reduces the need for explicit inheritance. Not so in golang since interfaces cannot have default implementations there.

> As to workarounds for inheritance in Go, that sounds like trying to write in another language but in Go, which is of course not advisable in any language.

Not quite, it's just where having inheritance would have simplified the design, and improved readability.
If there is a toxic level of jealousy and a lack of trust in the relationship, then yes.
I don't know I'm trying to explain it in basic terms. Capitalism favors whoever owns capital. Rules are an unavoidable part of participating in society, and thus it can follow that rules will tend to favor who owns capital.

Basically, it seems to me like capitalists throw up their hands and do the "no true scotsman" whenever something doesn't follow their theoretical thinking. Which honestly is exactly what you're doing. Oh, this doesn't track? Well, that's because it's not capitalism, we have a nomenclature problem. So just throw out the thing that we don't like?

Like it or not, capitalists, socialists, communists, etc. etc. all have to contend with the reality of their systems.

In my country the state maintains an alternative to email, where you can receive messages from anything government related, plus any business that registers. It's opt-in only, you cannot receive spam or be subscribed to entities against your will, and of course if you lose access you can just go down to the nearest citizen's office and get it sorted. You can also pay bills through it.

It is a nice solution but unfortunately everyone already has to have email accounts, so it becomes just yet another account to check, which is not attractive.
Yes, my last good female friend ended up getting married and her husband became jealous. Stopped trying making friends with women because of the jealousy factor (happened once before too). I gave up having male friends years ago because I was tired of doing all the work. Haven’t had a friend other than my wife for 10 years. It sucks, but I’ve learned to live with it.
I'm sorry you've been going through this. I can relate somewhat. I have been successful by most standards, but made large sacrifices for "paths less taken" that didn't work out like I'd hoped. That included a prestigious PhD, which I did complete but was a grueling experience that ravaged my mental health (grad school can be absolutely brutal for this). Everything culminated between 35-40, a hard season of questioning the direction of my life, feeling restless and dissatisfied, and yearning for something I couldn't name.

You will find plenty of practical advice (such as about career changes), which may be helpful. Professional mental health care can also be important. But I'd also encourage you to take the "inner journey" aspect of this seriously. When we enter these listless seasons, it's often because our soul is alerting us to something in our life that isn't working for us... and thus offering us an opportunity to learn and grow. The darkness has a lot to teach if you do the inner work to slow down and listen to what it has to say. During these years I gained a lot of empathy and wisdom about life.

Passing through these seasons is a universal part of the human experience, and you'll find some wonderful guides. Some of my favorite resources include this article by David Brooks [0], "Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life" by James Hollis, "Let Your Life Speak" by Parker Palmer, "Falling Upward" by Richard Rohr, "Crossing the Unknown Sea" by David Whyte, and "Reboot" by Jerry Colonna.

I also wrote a book about my own experience, titled "Eating Glass: The Inner Journey Through Failure and Renewal", designed to help others navigate these seasons. I have numerous free chapters here [1]. My main goal for the book is just to help others going through these seasons, so if you email me, I'll send you a free digital copy. I sincerely wish you luck finding your way through this season.

That's a purist view. Capitalism leads to captures / collusion among those who own capital, same with other systems like communism. Most are forced to work paycheck to paycheck, freedom for them is more of an illusion.
I’ve heard it said that life doesn’t really start until 40.

As you grow up I think you get to know yourself better, you get better emotional stability, etc, and doors open up for you to really dive in and find and enjoy genuine happiness with less drama and less confusion. The only doors that really close as you get older are physical ones, and you can do things to slow that down. Everything else is a social construct.

Your 20s are about feeling things out and making mistakes. Some people make stereotypical “mistakes” like drinking too much and getting into trouble; others make different “mistakes” like spending too much time on their career, or choosing the wrong career, or burning out. I think these are equally valid and necessary as learning experiences.
In the USA we have Underwriters Laboratories to certify for you if your electronic widget is up to safety standards. Look on some of your widgets and you will see a UL logo in a circle. There is also a way to check the authenticity. The federal government for example won't purchase various types of widgets unless they meet recognized standards.
I think the point of interest is the CT scans, but even after reading the text (is it a summary or the whole body? I can't tell), I still can't interpret the images. Is the dark area somehow empty space, or what? Also, the title is very strange. For a while I thought it was supposed to be the point of interest. I'm left pretty confused, as a layman.
For critically important accounts, host it somewhere where you have the chance of talking to a human if things go boom.

Google is not one of these.
The biggest risk I think is falling a victim of the scam. I usually get emails purportedly from my hosting provider (sometimes from my bank etc.) that I need to verify payment or something like that. Obviously they are fake but I can understand that even an attentive person can have a bad day and click on a malicious link and enter all required details. Google is probably better in filtering out such scam. And yet I wonder if it still happens often enough that they actively block login attempts if they are from unusual locations.

I would only attribute 3) & 4) to capitalism.

1) is a political right but capitalism is an economic system so it doesn’t really say anything about that.

5) is market economy and with 2) you get a free market economy

> I do wish it was easier to select text from the terminal screen without using the mouse.

Check out TMUX. TMUX has a copy mode that can be used to navigate the scrollback buffer for any TMUX window/pane and select and copy text. By default, that text is copied to a TMUX paste buffer, but can be copied to the system buffer using a simple command (e.g., `tmux show-buffer | pbcopy` on macOS or `tmux show-buffer | xsel -b` on Linux/X11). You can set that command to run automatically when you copy, which saves a step if you do it often.

Also, if you enable vi keys in TMUX (e.g., add `set-window-option -g mode-keys vi` to ~/.tmux.conf), then you can navigate copy mode using vi navigation keys, including '/' and '?' for search within the scrollback buffer.

I never said that nuclear reactors don't have problems I would be an idiot to say that. Everyone on Earth knows nuclear reactors have problems.

Statistically though it's a very very unlikely.

What it sounded like you were saying is that because human error exists....we should shut down all nuclear reactors and biology labs.

I don't agree with that.
> Men and women can't be friends. Eventually the sex gets in the way.

I think this is true when men have one close female friend, but if you have three or four, not so much.

From the other direction, I haven't found it to be true at all in my personal experience; when it's happened, it was clear that the women began the friendship intending for it to develop as a courtship, and I just didn't notice until it became blatant.
I stand corrected and have edited my answer.
I had something like this happen becasue I was logging in to some microsoft service, and thought I was supposed to be giving them my microsoft account password but apparently they wanted my gmail password for whatever they were up to. And doing a password reset on this microsoft service actually reset my stupid gmail account. Then once I figured out what happened, google wouldn't let me use an old password to set it back.

It’s entirely unnecessary. The data is updated too infrequently to justify anything like this.

I built a one-pager vanilla JS site that polls the official Johns Hopkins aggregated data daily, and displays dynamically generated smoothed moving average charts, performs curve similarity analysis to identify similar patterns in different countries, and performs logarithmic regression to depict current doubling/halving times.

This happens entirely on the client side, with no server side component whatsoever (other than the http server to deliver the static HTML&JS that does all the work). See https://covid-19-charts.net/
