There are quite some examples of contemporary Latin speakers, wow! However, I am surprised that Luke Ranieri (https://lukeranieri.com/) is not mentioned.
Yes except linguists don't need to learn languages fluently either!

This is a lot like the modern jousters teasing medievalists. It's simply not the relevant skill.

A difference is, this person seemed pretty knowledgable (for an amateur? Not that I could properly judge) so it was much more enjoyable read than most of these sorts of things.

How useless is memorizing openings, as an amateur Lichess player?
I agree on this. I kept my iPhone 4s alive for years with multiple screen repairs, power buttons replacements, speaker replacements, and on and on. But one day I noticed I could no longer get any of the apps I wanted they suddenly needed the latest iOS. I put the phone away in a drawer and was forced to upgrade. What a shame.
Not accurate. There's multiple levels of contribution approval depending on the frequency, size and extent of the contributions.

I love how many of the comments here think this story is real, and not just the first article published by what appears to be a newly-launched satire tech news site inspired by The Onion. Follow the "prev page" links at the bottom for other articles, you won't be disappointed :)
Performance mostly.
Maybe, it’s on a UPS, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t the power.
And judging from the quotes, she caveated that some people do actively overcome this struggle.
When I was at University studying history (among other subjects) our medieval history professor was fluent in reading, writing and speaking Latin. Having studied the language in school (with more than mediocre outcome) I was in awe.

My command of the language was that bad that I had to do certification at university studying the language again for three semesters.

He, having read and written Latin professionally for many years was from another realm. He once explained that the foreword of editions of primary medieval sources were done in Latin by everyone doing the editions as then these forewords would not have to be translated as everybody studying medieval sources would by trade be fluent in Latin.

> If you’re trying to scroll deep into conversations or someone’s Tweets, it’s reasonable to expect that you’d need to become a user of the website.

Not reasonable at all. If I'm not posting, an account doesn't serve any purpose (for me). I can read HN all day long without an account, same for blogs, normal websites, etc. Accounts on websites should not be the norm, and never was before.
I mostly disagree. Hiring senior devs who have worked at a variety of companies is the #1 way to improve your software.

They don't have the same bad habits, priorities, or biases as your existing team. They bring a diversity of culture that can give you the best of all worlds.

If I trained my team myself, it would be a monoculture and we would probably still be writing PHP instead of abandoning it 10 years ago.
yes I'm aware it's nitpicking, which is why I said I agree and that it just need more clarification.

but you don't need machine learning to hit these cases just a mismatch between what want to do and how/where it's stored.

examples:

- a noSQL db that cant directly do what you want and now you need to download lots of document to string them together before updating that field.

- a SQL data schema not matching your tasks where need lots and lots of joins and aggregations.

- data scattered across multiple web APIs that may have rate limits, now you may have to use a batch API if it exists and find a new route.

- data scraped from multiple places, going from 10 to 10 000s now will get you banned from most website, now you need to rewrite your code to circumvent that.

none of these examples involve data science, heavy processing algorithms, just moving data and selecting from it. and they seems like the kind of things business/people with no coding experience might want to do. (I want to keep track of prices from competitor, department X,Y, and Z have these info in their databases and gave us read-only access since they don't have time to do things for us, etc ...)
Think of each app and all the texture content that needs to be loaded. App textures get 4x as big, all things being equal. You see a 4x change in ram across those devices.
> This is strange, in a way, since the series does not present an obviously alluring portrait of creative collaboration. Its principal locations are drab and unglamorous: a vast and featureless film studio, followed by a messy, windowless basement. The catering consists of flaccid toast, mugs of tea, biscuits and cigarettes. The participants, pale and scruffy, seem bored, tired, and unhappy much of the time. None of them seem to know why they are there, what they are working on, or whether they have anything worth working on. As we watch them hack away at the same songs over and over again, we can start to feel a little dispirited too.

Are you kidding me?? This is probably the most inspiring part of the whole show! This is how you create things. It's a long, "unglamorous" slog full of dead ends, muck & mire, and discovery. This is what gets an artist excited - the oeuvre in gestation, the birthing pains, the grim determination depsite not knowing whether you're pursuing genius or madness! Gets me fired up every time.

The completed creation is usually a bit of a downer, like when you finish a good book.
That's not really what's happening with such C++ code. `static` variables are placed in normal writeable global memory. Only difference with such static is that compiler generates extra "bool" variable and checks it to initialize obj only on first run (threadsafe on C++11 and up).

You can see example here: https://godbolt.org/z/7f1qbh5r5

There are no code modifications - all compiler generated is extra byte check ("if" statement) and then acquire/release lock around constructor to be threadsafe.

Since creating an account is both more work and causes privacy violations, the obvious question is the other way around. Why would I even want to create an account if not fundamentally necessary?

If I heard this question, I'd be more confused than anything. The answer seems like it's just return x*x but I'd probably be more interested in why squaring numbers is so important that it needs a special function. Maybe I'm supposed to implement a BigInteger class or something like it...
As a programmer, I've always felt that, on an average, 4 hours of actual work gets done by me on a daily basis.

I agree with you. I've done enough of the job prep process recently to know that there are websites dedicated to discussing recent interview questions. It seems unnecessarily principled to put yourself at such an obvious disadvantage by only seeking to solve questions you haven't seen before. Companies with standardized LeetCode-style questions are basically selecting for the meticulously prepared white liar.
> Why C/C++ ever thought this was a good idea is beyond me.

Because C was evolved from BCPL, an untyped language, over the course of about 10 years, and then 10 more if you include refinements for what became ANSI C (C89). And at every iteration one of the concerns was maximizing source and binary compatibility with previous iterations; it was always actually being used in other projects rather than being developed to completion in a sandbox. In transitioning to stronger typing, most of the attention seems to have been spent on improving treatment of pointers and aggregate types (arrays, structs, etc).

There's a well known history of C, including design motivations, published by Dennis Ritchie in 1993: "The Development of the C Language", https://www.bell-labs.com/usr/dmr/www/chist.html

They were well aware of various other languages, the pros and cons of how they handled typing, and they actually had (and developed) quite strong opinions. See, for example, this 1981 note by Kernighan, "Why Pascal is Not My Favorite Programming Language", http://www.lysator.liu.se/c/bwk-on-pascal.html

And checkout this 1979, third-party comparison of C and Pascal by Prabhaker Mateti, "Pascal Versus C: A Subjective Comparison", https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/3-540-09745-7_... Early on the author establishes a basic, still familiar measure: "One of the most important factors in choosing a language for a project should be the estimated debugging and maintenance costs." One of the points in fleshing that out is, "Permissive type checking should be outlawed." But see the two adjacent points in that section--"Simple things that could be done mechanically, without
spending much thought, should be done by a program." and "It is dangerous to use our knowledge of the internal representation, as chosen by a compiler, of a data type."--and consider how they might relate to arithmetic conversions.
I wouldn't blame this on specialization, per se. This is more like asking why aren't critics good at sports/music/whatever. "Empathy" with the subject of study to the point of total mimicry is or isn't part of the job description on a different axis.

The trend in modern social studies to emphasize "historical specificity", or an impossibility of fully embodying living some other context, might provide some cover to those that don't learn the language fluency, but this point didn't come up in the original reply or your comment.

If we want people to learn ancient languages fluidly, I think the right model is not even Academia, but, say the Europeans subsidizing rural quasi-traditional farmers for cultural reasons. Or "historically informed practice" in old music. It's not scientific study of the past, but an art or cultural practice in its own right.

A good question to ask is how well the Romans could speak 500 years prior Greek. (Older forms of their own language was already covered.) That was also an cultural practice of reverence.
For many BASIC was the gateway drug to programming in the same way that JavaScript is today, it was included with almost every system.

I’m not sure the Japanese concept here is the same thing as what we call trans today. This article seems to portray a more societally enforced “role” for this third gender rather than treating it as an “expression” or “identity”. But I do wonder why Western (progressive / left / whatever) views are insistent on additional genders being hierarchically related to traditional genders (like transwomen being a subset of women) whereas older societies like some Asian ones have a catch-all third gender approach that placed them alongside the two typical genders. To me the latter makes more sense, because there are clear and significant differences between trans and non trans people, so having a new category feels consistent and natural.
In turn, seals can be pretty violent towards penguins
No, no, the point is they only eat the liver. Which is interesting precisely because many people would assume what you did.
We have returned to "You never get fired for buying IBM" but with various cloud services and layers of abstraction, profit taking, obfuscation and performance penalties. I am too old to care. I run my family servers to keep my skills and earn pocket money from time to time. I never learned to become a salesperson for Gsuite, Azure, AWS, Cloudflare Docker, whatever. Don't really care. I skip the majority of the blog spam articles posted to HN because many push the same nonsense. Massive industry deskilling and a race to the bottom. Steer clear kids and look for a good trade.
Maybe it only needs to apply above some size of company by number of employees or revenue, to favor a low barrier to entry for smaller competitors. Many laws make distinctions between differently sized companies already, at least in the US.
The sysadmin you need to manage your cloud infrastructure isn't going to be any cheaper, and if you want high-reliability 24/7, you still need your own staff on call 24/7, so you still need multiple sysadmins.

If some cloud setup can halve your sysadmin labor, then a company with 20 sysadmins can go to 10 sysadmins, but a company with 1, 2 or 3 sysadmins still needs all of them.
To be fair, there is almost always a corporation able to monitor your DNS resolutions. If not Cloudflare, then your ISP or proxy/VPN provider.

It's a tradeoff based on the relative risks of leaking them to Cloudflare vs ISPs
Sprints can start/finish with quality related work - improving logging, architecture, cleanups, whatever needs improvement etc.

It should be embedded into the process so it happens all the time. This should give a feeling of sustainability. To put it in other words, you should not feel at the end of the project you need this kind of time because you were doing it all along.

There should be no feeling of exhaustion and relief at the end of the project. That's a sign of non-sustainable process, people burn out on it, employers loose more money at the end and people feel like shit - not great, better for everyone to avoid.
From the outside you might not be able to see the difference, but perhaps inside the discipline you can see the difference.

Often one might think that results are the indicator. But I don't Crick and Watson were genii (prefer to sound of geniuses) just hard workers but when the payoff of their hard work came out you would probably be excused for thinking they possessed that special gift.
It's not just that it can do the job, but that the majority has access to Excel. There may be better tools/platforms to solve a given problem, but in most cases the rank and file don't have access to them or permissions to do what they want.

If I were smarter, I probably would have learned about proxy servers. I was tantalizingly close as is. I had set up port forwarding on our home router and a dyndns account to access my (Linux) desktop via ssh. I'm almost surprised it took me another few years to bump into SOCKS proxies. I already had 99% of the setup, just not the final step. Oh well I guess.

Our school was Windows land as well. They blocked execution of certain programs by some policy in Windows explorer in Windows XP (they had never adopted Vista, and 7 was still "too new"). Funny thing was, if you knew the path to them, you could just point Firefox or Chrome at a file:// URI and run it out of your downloads directory. Oops.

There was also that time I got detention for riding my bike in the school parking lot. Which was dumb, because I always showed up 30+ minutes before any cars did because I made a deal with the sculpting teacher that I wouldn't have to do sculpting if I showed up early to class and learned about the chemistry of clay glazes along with helping him mix them for class, which was honestly far more interesting to me.

Our AP Chemistry teacher was a nuclear engineering postdoc from MIT who spent her entire career helping clean up after US military nuclear accidents.

High school was a weird time. It just boggles my mind still to this day to have a school staffed by some wonderfully brilliant teachers and have an administration that seemed to lived in fear of a student body who dared learn something or learn from someone they didn't approve of.

This is exactly how pirate radio stations used to get presence on CASEMA, the Amsterdam cable system. Especially at night there wasn't a relay frequency that wasn't occupied, with some of the pirate radio stations duking it out for dominance on the receivers. Prime property was near Centrale Hemweg and the Okura hotel, both at the time some of the highest real estate in Amsterdam so that's where the receiving antennas were located.
That's just a very light beginning, a prolog, not more. Imagine Facebook with all its data run by the state, and fully used.

That’s a role that can only be assumed by one of the gender, which is not the same IMO.

To pull out an analogy straight from the trash, teen girls also have a special position in Japan today. Coupled with the school uniform they have a social niche that is apart from any others, but I wouldn’t call that a “gender” nor “gender role”.
Yes, people don't realize that median estimate means they're expecting up front 50% chance it won't be on time, in their heads it's something weird like "almost 100% will be finished on time".
Wow, are there more medicine/rat poison, apart from warfarin?
But how? I've got prometheus running in its own, non-root account. That makes exploiting vulnerabilities nearly useless, unless you can find a way to get it to spawn a process which can sudo. It runs behind nginx, which has a simple name/pwd protection on it. That makes it very hard to exploit. And prometheus only runs on one server; the others run node_exporter, or publish app data.

What am I missing?
Having to start using UNIX back in the day where we only had thin terminals, using telnet and X Windows to access our account, the cloudification is kind of ironic.

Docker is not hardcoded to Linux. There're Windows-native containers. That said, I agree that most useful images out there are built for Linux and having thousands of existing images is what makes docker useful at all.
I keep two lists but organized slightly different:

- a global todo with things ordered by topic (no particular order of importance) which I go over regularly

- a daily Todo which consists of items I've 'checked out' for the day, which is the things I want to get done today - I try to keep the daily Todo doable by factoring in the time things will take. I also try to keep this daily todo achievable and not overly optimistic

Every morning I'll define my daily todo and merge back to the global one at the end of the day - I can always adjust on the fly the daily todo (even if I try to avoid that, barring emergencies) or can also always add stuff for later to the global one of course as things pop up

At our company we use Redis, it's lightweight and has list structure which can be used as a push/pop queue

The local newspaper in my city that's been there all my life is still there, and a few months ago, I was disgusted with the national media and thought, well, I'll get a digital subscription to support local journalism.

But (and this has been my experience with other subscriptions too) I still had trouble accessing what I wanted to read. I expected the paywall would go away, but it's not that simple.

I'm pretty sure that this was because they have some sort of tiered system, but I felt cheated regardless of how it might be rationalized. Bait & switch. So I cancelled.

> DMLS - with the first MLS messages flowing over Matrix, we want to at least provide MLS as an option alongside Megolm for encryption. It should be radically more performant in larger rooms (logarithmic rather than linear complexity), but lacks deniability (the assurance that you cannot prove a user said something in retrospect, in order to blackmail them or similar), and is still unproven technology. We’ll aim to prove it in 2021.
