I totally agree with you, but you have to provide something attractive for the people you want to hire. You mentioned FAANG, and you know why they get so much attention? They pay 40% above market rate. If you can't attract people with money, you have to find something else. An even with all the challenges, remote work is what attract people nowadays. Try putting yourself in the shoes of those who are looking for work.
I see little difference between this type of nonsense from a conservative school board and the kind that comes from progressive "woke" school boards when they try to restrict access to books like Huckleberry Fin because, god forbid, as literary products of the late 19th century, they contain the word "negro" and so forth..

My son is using the Apple ][+ my dad bought in 1979 to play games, learn assembly language, and he even wrote a school paper with Apple Writer. Not quite 50 years yet, but getting close.
It should also produce the spike protein I believe, it's just that the triggers for cells to produce it are within an adenovirus, not mrna inside lipids.

So I'm not sure what this guy is on about.
You’re exactly right. There is substantial ECC in the LTO format. If the drive can recover the data, then it’s valid.
Of course you want to explicitly initialize all your variables and specify contexts in a programming language.

In a natural language, implicit and contextual cues are often more important (and can be lost in low bandwidth communication media like this).
The article is quite clear that this one exhibits characteristics predicted, but not previously observed, and with some surprises.

> each `render` call reads the partial off disk, parses it, and executes it

I think it does not do that in 'production' settings, but I'm not sure. I know it does less touching of disk and parsing in production mode, it doens't do all that you mention (that's what the `cache_template_loading` setting controls) -- but I'm not sure it does none of any of that, it may still do things that conceivably seem like they oughta be be cached, not sure.

In default "development" mode settings -- yes, partial template is definitely much slowed down by going to disk and parsing on every request and/or every invocation.
ZFS is probably closest to what you want.

It allows you to choose the amount of parity on the disk-level (as in: 1,2, or 3 disk parity in raidz1, raidz2 and raidz3). You can also keep multiple copies of data around with copies=N (but note that when the entire pool fails, those copies are gone - this just protects you by storing multiple copies in different places, potentially on the same disk).

[edit] To add another neat feature that allows for granularity: ZFS can set attributes (compression, record size, encryption, hash algorithm, copies etc.) on the level of logical data sets. So you can have arbitrarily many data stores on a single pool with different settings. Sadly, parity is not one of those attributes - that's set per pool, not per dataset.
It sort of depends upon the course. This particular syllabus looks like a really standard linear algebra course (I have no idea what is robotics-specific about it), and so of course Gauss-Jordan would show up there.

More generally, though, I think there are two main reasons to put algorithms like Gauss-Jordan in the engineering curriculum.

1. While it would be nice to treat linear algebra solvers as a perfect black box, in practice this does not work. Engineers have to be aware of numerical stability issues, how to diagnose when this is an issue, and how to reformulate their routines in a way that resolves the problem. And to do this, they need to know the library of techniques.

A reasonable way of teaching this is to teach Gauss-Jordan, then showing how it goes badly awry, and then showing how things like pivoting can fix it.

2. Personally, though, I find the topic of numerical stability to be a little bit depressing, since it focuses on all the ways computers don't work!

To take a more positive view, a huge fraction of the algorithms in an undergraduate CS course -- from finite automata to parsing to relational algebra to graph traversals -- can be understood as basically doing linear algebra using modules over different semirings (rather than just the reals). Eg, for all-pairs shortest paths, the Floyd-Warshall algorithm is doing an LU decomposition, and Kleene's algorithm is doing Gauss-Jordan.

Not every student will enjoy this, but for the ones who are algebraically minded, it's really exciting to be able to offer them a unified perspective. And then you can show them the GraphBLAS library!
It's also true that VAERS may be underreporting cases.
The same is true of legislation like SOX, which is very much a checkbox approach and has not solved everything related to financial reporting, by a longshot. But that doesn't mean regulation would be totally useless. From the article:

>The European Union has been operating under such a standard since May 2018. Known as the General Data Protection Regulation, the law requires companies to implement security measures to protect sensitive personal data and to promptly notify regulators and affected consumers when it gets compromised. Violations of the data protection rules can result in fines as high as 4% of a business’s annual worldwide sales. “You have to implement cybersecurity measures if you process personal data, and if you do not, you will have a legal problem,” said Stefan Hessel, a cybersecurity specialist in Germany at the Reuschlaw law firm.

>Such measures may in fact make it harder for hackers to ply their trade, if Pompompurin’s postings are any indication. In August he was asked on RaidForums why large collections of personal data always seem to come from the U.S. He responded: “Because its the easiest to get, other countries have load of protection laws & shit, in the US your address is basically public information no matter how hard you try not to be put on lists like this.”
Containers are still valuable for statically-linked code, as ways of comprehensively namespacing resources. (In fact, the converse is true; containers are built on the resource-namespacing features of modern Linux, which in turn were inspired by Plan9 a distributed operating system building on *nix).
100% right.

Good ideas do not require the censorship of bad ideas.
It's not one or the other any more, as You can easily catch symptomatic Covid being fully vaccinated, question is; does risk multiply, sum or maybe the vaccine somehow protects against it.
There's at least one:

Woah. This is a great post! Zero trolling: Can you share your interview question? We would love to have something similar!

Deeper question: Did you think about why some people are able to "show me things you've built, tell me how this function you built works", but fail miserably on a straight-forward coding test?

Sometimes, during an interview, it seems obvious the person is very intelligent, but having a bad day. Some part of interviews is pure performance to me.
To me, it really comes back to how badly the Java system was managed with regard to the quality of its tools. Portability and security would always have been a draw for every other language but even the Java projects I know used containers for basically two reasons: Tomcat was unrewarding to use and the Java web stack had a lot of complexity which users were forced to deal with. If Sun had spent, say, 5% of their marketing budget on making the user experience better I don't think there would have been anywhere near the pressure to avoid it.
They're called airplanes and we’ve managed to outsource half the shipping and handling to the cargo itself.
Why’s that? They’re convertible but not equivalent; there’s lots of things you can do with Bézier curves that you can’t do with Catmull-Rom. Manually tweaking animation curves in a timeline is something that doesn’t work with Catmull-Rom because of the lack of control over tangents. There are several other reasons but I’m curious to hear yours.

Edit to clarify, you can convert Catmull-Rom strands to Bezier strands, but you cannot generally go the other way from Bezier to Catmull-Rom and still preserve connected segments.
I’ve seen people on the left furious at Fauci for his errors. I’ve seen people on the left flabbergasted that the lab leak theory was initially dismissed and we all went along with it.

What is happening is that you have one side who expects to get it wrong sometimes: the left. And then you have the right, where getting it wrong is not allowed.
The O(N^3) Authz Problem
Re-read my post.

> That we've detected a radio source doesn't mean there's not something there in infrared as well, though.

The Spitzer image demonstrates there may be value to pointing something like JWST at it. Existence of a remnant tells us what probably made it, size of that remnant tells us how old it is, etc. (Lack of a remnant would be interesting, too.)
> We know LeetCode style tests aren’t perfect, but they’re repeatable and the study material is free and widely available.

One of the things that gets me here on the hiring side is that the ease of “grinding leetcode” as a strategy seems to defeat the entire purpose of it as an interview question. I don’t want to dismiss the value of someone being able to study a skill and learn it, but I see a lot of people fixated on rehearsing leetcode answers like they were magical incantations you recite to get jobs, there’s not always a lot of real learning happening. That’s not reflective of the kind of candidates I’d want to hire or the peers I’d want to work with.

> A lot of companies give the option of LeetCode style interviews or take-homes and almost everybody chooses the take-home.

If true I’d like to see more of this. No hiring process is good for everyone and I think flexibility can be a better way to make a process fair, but I haven’t seen much of it personally. I don’t think I’ve personally gotten a leetcode problem at an interview in years- takehome problems have been the more common screening tool, but I don’t think I’ve ever been offered a choice in the matter.

> The idea that someone can allocate several hours during their busy day for a live interview but somehow can’t find several hours during the week for a take-home doesn’t even make logical sense.

I’m not sure this is entirely on the mark. On problem with takehome a is asymmetry. Most take home assignments I’ve gotten have come toward the end of an interview process, and there fine, but when I talk to more Junior folks it seems like they are often given hours long takehome problems before they ever talk to a human. That seems disrespectful of peoples time- it’s a lot to ask from someone who doesn’t even know if they are a fit or want your job yet.

In any case the hours long takehome is usually in addition to an bourse long set of interviews- not in lieu of them. Another common problem pre-Covid was that a lot of people just weren’t set up to work from home so it was harder to get the space and time to work on a project at home. I expect that’s probably changed a lot these days though.
That is not true for every age group.
"stock up and stay home while the virus dies off"

Given the existence of animal reservoirs, short-lived immunity, asymptomatic carriers, continued transmission after vaccination, and the genetic instability of SARS-CoV-2, this seems like an incredibly naive view.

The only virus we've been able to eradicate — smallpox — was a VERY different beast because it had none of the issues listed above.
I am a civil servant and while it's technically true that I could double my pay in the private sector, I would likely be on the top 1 percentile or higher.

I'd guess that salary is on the bottom 10 percentile for enterprise architects.

For content sites that is about right but if they sold this year they probably could have gotten more since multiples have been increasing
Wow, I’m in exactly the same situation. Moved to UK (London) two years back in my 40s. Took a 15% pay cut for the same role/company. Pandemic happened, didn’t love 8 months of dull grey weather & 4 months of sun, found a job in the US and moved back.

Now I miss it and moving back next month! I like the ‘quality of life’ way better. That’s a phrase that means different things to different people. I don’t have kids, which is a huge factor. If you’ve saved well early in your career in the US, moving to Europe could be a win win.

Yes the tax filings are a pain. Everything works less professionally overall - you have to “chase” people to get work done (a word used a lot in the UK) and the grey weather can get to you, but I’m going to give it another chance.

NHS is ok, but be aware there isn’t a whole lot in term of preventive care. Private health insurance even through an employer will not cover chronic preexisting conditions (diabetes, heart disease, etc.), unlike in the US - something to consider if it matters, though private hospital bills won’t bankrupt you either unlike the US.
Then it went on to become a punchline.

It turns out that the desire to be fed a Matrix-style, nutrient rich slurry like you're on some sort of human foie gras production line is not as mainstream as one would imagine...
LAPD Emails Reveal Fallout of Citizen’s Botched Manhunt
Academic Philosophy is definitely not like that. The amount of effort it takes to even keep on top of new papers being published (within whatever subfield you happen to specialise in) is extraordinary.
It’s curious, if you go back in time far enough with all knowledge from the present, you’d surely arrive at a point where you still need to work your entire life to bring one component of one innovation to life. Even then, the innovation would be unlikely to survive your death due to other missing parts of the supply chain.

Try building a musket in Ancient Greece, you’d need to start with building the steel supply chain - which means drilling into granite with wooden and bronze hand tools…
Remote, sr role
In a global context, the number of people believing in Jewish space lasers is a poor excuse to implement global surveillance and censorship. I rather that each country where those people live in take care of their citizens with the health care that they need, or legal system if those people get violent. I suspect however that fear over people that believe in Jewish space lasers is out of proportion of the actually number and threat of such people.

Do you have any numbers of how large the demographic of Jewish space lasers believers are and the number of incident globally where they caused harm to society?
Number of registered cases of myocarditits after vaccination is not very different from baseline, while covid infection increses risk of miocarditis 16 times.

I wouldn't be surprised if incresed risk of miocarditis after second dose is completely explained by changes in behavior of people who finally got vaccinated after many monthes of lockdowns.

They probably started going out more and exposing themselves to coronavirus which vaccine provides partial protection against.

Researchers don't even exclude from this research people who got full blown covid before their miocarditis.
Great twitter thread on this subject [0]:

"Data out of Israel ... suggests that vaccine-induced myocarditis is caused by the spike protein. In that case, Covid would cause the same condition in the same person -- but more severely, attached to a fully-fledged living virus.

To be clear: whoever gets heart inflammation from Moderna would’ve almost certainly got it worse from Covid. The issue arises from the spike protein itself. That’s why we don’t see myocarditis from non-MRNA vaccines like Astra Zeneca."

> Nazis lined up people and shot them because of who they were.

The Holocaust did not happen over night, it built upon years of dismantling the democracy of the Weimar Republic. The Nazis took power in 1933, the Holocaust began in 1941 - that's eight years.

> But, hey, the president apparently mocked someone. Seriously? That is included in your comparison to nazis?

The Nazi ideology was based upon declaring people unworthy of the right to live - and disabled people actually were murdered prior to the Jews ("Aktion T4" and others).

I'm not going to call Trump a full-blown Nazi, but the parallels between his Presidency and the years both prior and past 1933 are clearly present. Especially the part with fanatic supporters willing to commit murder and violence in the streets for their ideology. "Never again" especially means to prevent what led to the Holocaust in the first place.
Including the definition of literally to include figuratively reflects how it is used by many, and dictionaries should do that. But it's possible (and my hope is) that it eventually goes out of fashion as a filler word for twitter-facing teens trying to sound smart, and effectively goes back to meaning what it meant before, since its literal meaning is very useful and specific, and will stay relevant beyond historical use. The new "meaning" is really to be meaningless, which is not what I'd consider an advantageous mutation in the evolution analogy.
Fakes are definitely more prevalent in certain categories, for sure. Batteries, power adapters, flash drives and SD cards are probably the biggest off the top of my head. Probably because they’re relatively simple devices that are easy to manufacture to a lower quality standard than the genuine item and will usually at least superficially appear to work when received by the average buyer.

I don't have the numbers to answer this but which groups are getting myocarditis also matters. If covid causes myocarditis in 1 out of 100 people in an age group prone to myocarditis, but mRNA causes myocarditis in 15 out of 1000 people in an age group that doesn't get myocarditis, then then we should be very concerned about the mRNA myocarditis and adjust our policies accordingly.

Again, I made up those numbers and I'm not saying mRNA is worse. My point is that we should take a more nuanced and honest view than "they both cause it" or even "X has a great rate; therefore Y is better"
If I'm reading both summaries correctly:

Rates of myocarditis after 2nd shot for males 16 to 17 years of age: 105.9 per million doses of the BNT162b2 vaccine

Rates of myocarditis from COVID-19: 1500 per million cases

I rewrote both stats to be in the form of "x per 1 million" but I don't think that's a fair thing to do. Not everyone is going to get both a vaccine and get covid.

What's a better comparison? Rates of myocarditis for a unvaccinated person (roughly rate of getting covid multiplied by rate of myocarditis if getting covid) versus rates of myocarditis if vaccinated?

stats are hard, explaining stats are even harder. I'm already screwing this up.
I posted a similar comment, but it's not the same - AZ uses a modified non-Covid virus that has been engineered to model the spike protein. I'm not sure why that spike protein is different than the MRNA, other than being attached to a virus.
In Russia, a period of high inflation in 1990s and early to mid 2000s made people simply think in dollars. Whatever price or income you get, you just convert into dollars in your head and now you know what it's worth. Saving were only USD cash. Although inflation is long gone, people over 35-40 still think this way to this day

In Belarus, where there is no high inflation, but just periodic (once in 3-7 years) sudden devaluations of the local currency, people always think in dollars, and many employers set salaries in dollars too. Even government sets rent on government property and some taxes in dollars or euros just to avoid the hassle of recalculating it too often. After a while, people got used to it and it's not a problem at all - no one but government employees who get salaries in local currency, is even worried about the exchange rate (and those employees can't survive on salaries anyway - they are dependent on bribes as salaries are laughable - and bribes are in USD).
Not that I know off. But the positioning on recent Gen LTOs is pretty tight. I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility for a dedicated nerd but it won't be trivial.
If the crows are expecting a treat, my hunch is they'll defend... or eat the squirrels. A couple years back I watched a small murder of crows encircle, kill, and eat a very large rat. I was amazed, but apparently this is not uncommon and smallish mammals are very much on the menu for crows, who hunt in packs.
>In viral vector vaccines (AstraZeneca, Sputnik, Johnson & Johnson) the gene for the spike protein is introduced into an adenovirus. Following vaccination, the modified adenovirus will infect cells of the host, which will subsequently start to produce the spike protein

So if there is a difference in the incidence of myocarditis, it must be for a different reason.

What a Jar of Buttons Is Teaching Me About Trust
The insider trading training is an excellent example: it does not benefit the company, and is done at an individual level, so the training reflects what the law says and what is not allowed. Individuals may break that.

Say that you are part of the executive team of Amazon, and want to take some illegal behavior like price fixing. Things that actually happened. You know it is illegal and want to avoid getting caught, so your communications only happen in person, and there's not really a paper trail.

Okay, great, you've set that up now. Now it's the day to day business at your company, and all different departments need to do their basic jobs to support that. You're still doing something illegal, and now it's spread across hundreds of people to support your illegal activity. The last thing you want to do is to have them writing e-mails about price fixing and kickbacks etc. How do you avoid this? Train your people not to mention certain words.

And guess what, that's exactly what they do.

Amazon literally committed a crime requiring many people to conspire. How is it cynicism to say that Amazon can conspire to commit crimes?

Your optimism is impressively high.

> Amazon: commits crimes

> OP: lol when I was at Amazon they told us not to talk about crimes

> You: These are completley unrelated! Let's stop this trope!
