You need to be able to modify the contents of the disc, which implies that either you have managed to boot your own OS or you have been able to temporarily plug the storage into something else. This is as you say a much lower bar to clear than modifying the OS of the device as in a classical evil maid. Effectively, the maid is already built in to the OS in the form of the bug.

Read beefwellingtons SQL EXPLAIN PLAN, comment. I've also watched my roommate have a four hour argument with her coworkers about one line in their kubernetes deployment[0]. I've also spent days trying to fix a declarative Ansible playbook, only to table flip and rewrite it from scratch in 20 minutes (this was a MySQL install-and-configure command where MySQL version had drifted underfoot).

[0] iirc this was not a bug in their kubernetes operator (or maybe it was, I don't recall exactly) but a situation where they didn't understand why their containers were exhibiting the anti affinity properties they were expecting out of their declarations.
So you got offers from FAANG with only 10-15 hours of actual practice? That’s an exceptionally low amount of practice.

But I hear these stories over and over - the variance is so wildly high. The people who spent the same or more hours studying and didn’t get an offer tend to not talk about it though. So, sampling bias issue.
Couldn't companies just adopt strategies that have been used for "traditional" engineers for decades? Verify credentials and then for technical interviews discuss a potential proplem that could easily arise in detail and how you'd solve it.

There is a trivial interpretation of Bezier curves that helped me to understand them:

Quadratic Bezier is just trajectory of a point with initial velocity and constant acceleration.

Cubic Bezier is just trajectory of a point with initial velocity and acceleration, and constant change of acceleration.

Direction to control points are just initial/final velocity.

It's not dogma. You post factually incorrect 'opinions' pushed by the right. You think 'cloth masks are useless', while science disagrees. A decently fitted cloth mask is far more effective then nothing, but not as effective as a surgical mask, which is not as effective as as N95. As for the death rates 'doesn’t jive with what I am reading', what the heck are you reading? Even the Fox News owned Wall Street Journal reported on Omicron deaths exceeding Delta [1]. This isn't some surprise or hidden statistic where reputable sources disagree.

The overall lower deaths and hospitalizations due to Omicron are due to the vaccines. Generally, if you're vaccinated and boostered, your case of Omicron is relatively mild. Though not always, as my sister's Father-in-law found out winding up with afib in the hospital. If you're unvaccinated, you're not so lucky. Currently 2,000-3,000 daily deaths in the last 7 days in the US as per the CDC [2]. And that's with ~64% of the US population fully vaccinated. If this happened in 2018 with none of the population vaccinated, no knowledge of the spread or how to prevent it, etc... it would have been very bad.

I think this is a very good explanation.

I'd add a caveat though. Kubernetes is designed for extremely high reliability at datacenter scale. If you have a suite of applications that run at that kind of scale and require that level of uptime, then kubernetes is an excellent tool for managing that complexity.

If your application doesn't need that scale and reliabilty, kubernetes is probably overkill and adds more complexity than it saves. And frankly, your application probably doesn't need to operate at that scale and it probably doesn't need that level of uptime.

Of course, your mileage may vary. If you can handle kubernetes' upfront complexity, than scaling up is a solved problem.
If you haven't read the article yet, I challenge you to think of your own personal #1 answer to the headline's question. My answer exactly matched the author's (talking about the bit under the heading 'The Problem').
Is it perfectly reasonable to say that? If you have evidence I'd be more than willing to go through it.

Most people do not control production and even the small amount who do control production make their decisions according to their material interests (not evil or twisted morals). Those who do not control production must work for those who do in exchange of money. These two groups' economic interests as a whole contradict themselves even though they are locked into a social relationship. These relationships change based on the development of production.

This is the basis of social classes in marxism.

Its not just imagination. No other theory has explained the progression of society in such a complete way. Some just talk about ideas, others about the qualities of great men but none can profoundly explain progress on a material basis.
I've seen both sides of the coin while it seems you've only imagined flipping it.

"The materialist conception of history starts from the proposition that the production of the means to support human life and, next to production, the exchange of things produced, is the basis of all social structure; that in every society that has appeared in history, the manner in which wealth is distributed and society divided into classes or orders is dependent upon what is produced, how it is produced, and how the products are exchanged. From this point of view, the final causes of all social changes and political revolutions are to be sought, not in men's brains, not in men's better insights into eternal truth and justice, but in changes in the modes of production and exchange."
And yet, with a clickbait title we've seen 10,000 times before
Yep I know this might be hard to understand for people that have been brainwashed into this attitude in the last decade but trying to silence ideas you disagree with is an authoritarian stance. You are on the same wavelength as religious zealots that burn "evil" books when you do this.

That's assuming we're containing it at all. This all seems very hubristic to me, but I just wanted to point out the assumption. It's not because we do things that burden us to a degree that the virus' spread is also burdened to the same degree. I feel that this is an unconscious assumption that's made in this discussion.
The cost / benefit to vaccinating kids is extremely suspect.

Ireland has 1 million children aged 0-14. 1 has died of Covid this entire time. One.

So we need to vaccinate them all every year to maybe prevent half an annual death? No way does that make sense from a cost/benefit perspective (unless you're a Pfizer shareholder).

"But those kids can spread it to their triple- and quadruple vaccinated grandparents!" - What's the NNTV on that?
there is no need for you to spread completely unfounded conspiracy theories without evidence to back it up either but here we are.
And yet my impression of slightly older children and teens (admittedly in Canada) is that they're better and more consistent at mask wearing than adults are. My son couldn't care less if he's wearing a mask or not -- heck I think he hates wearing socks more.

I wonder how much of these breathless articles against masking children is more about adults than about the children.
In terms of weighing risk, find one IRB anywhere which would have approved an experiment to mask all of the students in a school district for a year.

So this graph represents "Australian data-scientist job listings" and it counts Tableau as a programming language. My guess - had the author included Excel it would be on top instead of Python.

And there is no indication that the graph on the left represents the past year. The title simply says that the data was collected over a year interval ending 2022-01-25.

I am not sure what conclusions we can draw from this, if any.

Prolog, like Lisp, excels in problems where the best solution is to create a
language in which to describe your problem, and then solve it by using some kind
of inference engine. Unlike Lisp, it comes with an inference engine built-in,
one that is as good as possible (formally speaking, it's sound and complete). So
if that's the kind of use case you have your options are either: use Prolog;
embed it; or implement an informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation
of half of Prolog.

Well, if you have elderly parents you will also learn a thing or five about mask-wearing discipline. They will do all of the things above (except maybe eating them). My personal favorite: removing the mask when they have to cough. And even in the in-between age groups, the "responsible adults" are fewer than you might think...
yes. that's direct imaging. Your eyes are detecting photons emitted directly by the source at their emission frequency. Indirect imaging a monitor would be looking at nearby reflective objects that absorbed those photons and emitted different ones (fluorescence, phosphorescence, heated object...)

If there is little to no evidence that it reduces spread amongst children, the effects of covid on children is irrelevant. You wouldn't say an article shitting on
Ivermectin effacy failed to take into account Long COVID.

The article doesn't mention the other uncomfortable truth--every kid is getting covid sooner rather than later regardless of mask mandates. Even if masks are 50% effective at reducing the spread, Omicron variant is more contagious with a mask than the original variant was without one. And there is little reason to believe masks reduce 50% of spread.

> You wouldn't expect an article that talks about the long-term effects of COVID to also address the downsides of mask and restrictions

The parallel of this example would be an article discussing the evidence for the effectiveness of masking, in which case you would be right -- discussion of long-term effects of COVID wouldn't be necessarily relevant.

But that isn't this article -- this article is discussing policy: should students mask in schools? In which case, weighing the long-term effects of covid is absolutely relevant.
BASH is the most unforgiving syntax on earth, I would never even try and memorize that stuff.
One of my companies competitors (I'm not told which) was caught red handed bribing a government official someplace. Because of a very close look at all their practices - including the anti bribe training - the courts concluded this was a rouge employee doing something the company didn't want him to do (even though it would have greatly benefited the company) and so the company is still around.

Training is a part of a robust process to ensure that your company only does legal things at all levels. It is a given in any large company that somebody will do something immoral/illegal. The real question is it one person and so the company can fire the bad person and be done, or is it the whole company and firing one person is just making a scapegoat.
> They have lost enough people they are loosing a representative in the House.

No, California gained >2¼ million people between the 2010 Census and the 2020 Census [0] on which the most recent apportionment is based, but because the size of the House is fixed, it is possible to gain population and still lose a seat, e.g., by gaining slower than the average rate of growth across the country, as actually occurred, or, if the population changes across the country are distributed just right, even by gaining faster than the national average. [1] Losing a seat in the House had nothing to do with losing population.

California has had an estimated population loss since the 2020 Census (in part because the pandemic and policy responses to it further reduced international migration, which had been offsetting California’s net internal outmigration.) There's a whole lot of sui generis stuff going on over that short time window that it would be foolish to extrapolate from it.

> They are bleeding high wage earners at an even more alarming rate

No, California, during the “exodus”, has had net domestic inmigration of high earners, it's low and middle earners where there is net domestic outmigration. [2]

[0] https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/CA

[1] this could occur require population losses or gains slower average in states that are already only have one 1 rep because you can't have fewer, and then the state losing seats to gains at a rate slower than the average of the remaining states.

The whole Reddit Mod/Fox News thing was both hilarious and tragic... It was a missed opportunity to present the message in the right context.

These days people are driven by arrogance and self perspectives so much that they can't even realize that they're harming themselves by just trying to win an argument that is intended to help everyone.

The pandemic has highlighted so many terrible truths, but the most scary thing about it is that people are in denial about fixing things for the better because, in their perspective, it always looks rosy, and they believe that money and popularity will insulate them from eventual suffering.

We're all watching fake "influencer" culture roll towards us like a giant boulder and trying to figure out how to jump on top of it (as a society)... It's a very toxic time in history.

Can you explain the difference between GJ as "the Gauss reduction method"? Because I haven't seen these terms used before in a way that makes a difference between them.
The article also seems to contradict itself. It notes that there are negatives to mask wearing in terms of lip reading and clarity of voice, but the people in class that talk the most are the teachers, and they seem to show the most benefit from wearing masks. At least at my child's school, children don't have to wear masks at lunch and recess (which are held outside). This is when children mostly communicate with each other.

That said, the most compelling reason to get rid of mask mandates in the school is that they don't work. Kids wear them all over their face. As noted in the article, no one wears good ones, and no one wears them close to correctly. Part of the reason why I suspect we see evidence that teachers masking up is effective while children aren't effective is that teachers are more likely to wear their masks correctly.
Like anytime you're evaluating someone's compentency, find out what they view as a good example of their work and judge on that. Don't stick to any standardized hiring process, instead get to a burden of proof.

I thought the paragraphs about requiring KN95 in schools were interesting.

My kids' school district recently had a policy change that requires everyone to wear KN95 or KF94 masks. What I've noticed is that most kids (including mine) have switched from high quality (Halo) well fitting cloths masks with filters to 95 or 94s with huge gaps around their noses. It is hard to believe that this is an improvement in safety.

To expand on some of the other replies: maybe not QR and Gauss-Jordan directly, but understanding linear maps and subspaces is relevant in kinematics, especially kinematic chains like robot arms / manipulators.

You can formulate a task in terms of some nonlinear function mapping the robot's joint positions to a desired "task space" and set a reference point or trajectory in that space (e.g. keep a tool perpendicular to a surface while following a line on that surface).

Approaches for solving these tasks usually look at the Jacobian (inverse) of the task-function and use iterative methods to find a trajectory in joint-space that solves the task, either making a plan offline or as part of the control algorithm in real time.

The singular value decomposition of that Jacobian has a couple of applications like

- find the pseudoinverse for the solution

- use the condition number to detect (proximity to) singularities

- find a Tikhonov-regularized solution to avoid singularities (aka. "singularity robust inverse" or "damped least squares")

- find a projection into the null space of the Jacobian or that of a lower-rank approximation and solve lower priority tasks in that space

- use the range of the Jacobian to measure "manipulability" or agility in task space, e.g. as a secondary optimization objective

While the effectiveness of masks at schools indoors is questionable, is there any evidence at all for using, let alone mandating masks outside? I would have thought that the sheer volume and circulation of fresh air should dilute viral particles below the infectious concentration. What are they protecting against: direct sneezing into someone else's face?
