yes! the company i started after working for va linux ended up hosting kuro5hin for the longest time. it was a pretty tight community for a few years.
A few years ago USC’s MBA program replaced statistics with data science, which is further down the pragmatic chain.

Stats is not a generally useful skill (the concepts are, but can be taught in a data science course) but understanding how to work with data is.

Discrete math seemed to be the most applicable math class to my CS curriculum. I never took graphics so didn’t use linear algebra, and definitely never touched anything related to DiffEq.
The ability to decompose a task into parts
The ability to complete all those parts alone (or with team help, if necessary)
The ability to delegate those parts to team members

That's it. From there if you're good at the technical stuff you become more of an IC and if you're good at the management stuff you go into management. The first applies to both cases.
Banks will not loan money to a new business entity without someone personally guaranteeing the loan or offering collateral.

Regardless, he clearly over extended himself if he's facing bankruptcy after the failure of his business. I could see a line of credit large enough to cover payroll for 90 employees easily putting him in over his head.
Remember when the first COVID shutdowns happened and air quality around the world rebounded in astonishing ways? Los Angeles literally had the cleanest air of any major city in the world [1]. How quickly we forgot...because the economy. Climate change is exactly the same situation, but at a much larger scale. Literally everything runs on the energy that we are currently getting from fossil fuels. We will accept no reduction in the standard of living. Not for air quality, not for ecosystem destruction, not for catastrophic climate change. We're gonna fry this planet for our comfort and leisure. There is no realistic plan to transition to alternative energy sources fast enough. We're barreling headlong into this and can't stop.

I studied theoretical math.

Step #0: make sure you know what math is

I can't stress it enough. I know this sounds funny, but when I went to study math a lot of people would drop out very quickly because they did not realise that what most people call math and what is taught at high school is completely different from actual theoretical math.

What most people think math is is a collection of formulas that you need to learn to "know math".

Math is actually a dynamic activity and is 100% about solving problems.

Just like programming is not about knowing programming languages. Programming is about solving problems (and knowing programming languages is necessary but not sufficient to be programming).
People forget also that the whole transaction log is visible. Your address is pseudonymous but anybody can see the addresses of the people you trade with, hang them out the window from their feet and use any other dirty tricks.

Contrast that with banks that will have to capitulate to law enforcement with a subpoena but aren’t open to hackers, extorsionists, mafia, triad, yakuza, North Korea, Iran, etc.
Glory to Putin, his war on imperialist Western powers will finally force them to stop burning fossil fuels. If that doesn’t work, he’ll try geoengineering with nuclear weapons to induce global cooling. What a great environmentalist, ol’ Vlad!
Thanks for putting time to write these comments, but I think your arguments and the source [1] you linked above are straw men.

Nobody claims that nuclear is a carbon free source of electricity generation. The IPCC[2] itself is calculating a carbon equivalent cost of 10 gC-eq/kWh, which is similar to renewables. This includes the complete chain from uranium mining to waste disposal. Eventually these will be electrified and CO2-free like everything else, which is not an argument for or against nuclear.

Furthermore, you are right in criticizing France for letting its nuclear infrastructure fall into disrepair due to recklessness and mismanagement. This should be fixed but is not inherent in the technology. Nuclear is expensive if done right.

You make a good point in that it takes a long time to build and certify new nuclear power plants. This is one more reason why we need to start building them now rather when we realize that we are still burning too much coal, gas and oil in 2030.

This is arguably a price we must pay for getting low-carbon base load electricity generation.

Yup. I remember having issues as a teenager getting ISP service in Australia in the 90s. I hopped on a train and a bus to their office, handed over an envelope with a few months payments in cash, and they walked me back to a rack, jumped on a Linux console and 'adduser'ed me.
True for the England wikipedia, but the mods for the wikipedias in other languages enforce the rules differently.
Unfortunately, large parts of human memory are 404.

I wish that was just a pithy remark - link rot is really, and it's rapid. Add to that that modern paper is deteriorating at a rapid pace, and the memory of humankind is starting to look shaky.
> are you actually arguing that we shouldn't have the ability to modify the markup and the code before we display it on our computers?

I’m not arguing you shouldn’t have that ability.

Morally, I feel I’m bound to play by the rules of the service if I want to use that service. If they’re showing ads I find distasteful, then I don’t use that service. I don’t find some technical workaround that allows me to do something that I believe is fundamentally immoral.

The same as I wouldn’t take a garbage bag to a buffet, I won’t block ads on YouTube (or anywhere for that matter). In fact, I love that YouTube lets me pay $10 a month to not view ads. Are they still tracking me? Probably. Do I care? Not at all.

If you have different morals, awesome!
And this is precisely why I'll never go Nvidia on any of my machines again. I respect them a lot for being friendly to open source. Not to mention Ryzen. AMD is simply doing phenomenal. Sure, they're not cutting-edge on niche features like ray tracing, but I personally haven't cared for RT. I prefer frame rate in my games. And open source above all else.
The green new deal will just be a blank check, managed by politicians. It'll be a catch all where every political wishlist item and special interest will jump on the bandwagon with zero scrutiny or oversight.

I am not very hopeful that it will have a good result.

Let's focus on high ROI climate mitigation projects driven by the people who actually know what they are doing and can execute on those ideas.
The great thing with Bitcoin is that everybody gets the price what they deserve. Those ,,whales’’ are whales because they risked their capital when it was riskier to own, not because they were from wealthy families. It’s still a risky investment of course, so I understand that most people don’t want to own it.
> Quantum entanglement has not been able to show any usable information can be passed faster than speed of light.

The key word being: "usable".

You can have two bits of quantum information entangled together so they are always opposite values. Then (while keeping the two bits entangled) separate the two bits and place each inside a box without looking at the bits. Then move the boxes apart to the other side of the world.

Quantum Entanglement says that we can open one box to look at the value of the bit inside that box and know that the opposite box has the opposite value.

Alice opens her box and sees the bit "0", so she knows that inside Bob's box is a bit with the value "1".

So depending on which quantum mechanics interpretation you're using, Alice's bit has to share some information with Bob's bit to determine what each bit's value is.

Depending on the time that the boxes are opened, we have experimentally proved that if information is getting transmitted between the two bits and if it is travelling through the space between the two bits, then it must be transmitted faster than the speed of light.

The problem with trying to use this "transmission speed" to send information is that there is no actual way to send any usable information with it.

We can open a box on our end to see which value we got, but we don't know if we got value because we opened the box first, or if the other person opened their box first. The only way to tell is to go and talk to the other person to tell them the time that we opened the box which in and of itself is slower than light.
I wonder if these weird sounds heard around the world are really just due to underground rocks or gas escaping?

explaining something and learning something require very different skills.

to be good at teaching/explaining, take a communication course, practice, record yourself.

sometimes part of explanation is preparation, when you sometimes see people give good speech, it's all about the prep work you never saw.
Bitcoin is probably not a honeypot IMO. But it's also the worst cryptocoin to use for actually securely and privately sending money - its just that its the most well known coin.
At that point assassinating Puylo might be the rare good option.
And that's a good thing.

Wikipedia prioritizes verifiability over completeness. Are there downsides to that trade-off? Absolutely. But i would rather that over trusting random people on the internet to know what they are talking about.
Ask a Republican or Democrat what is more important, capitalism or the environment (safe environment for future generations)? Neither will be able to give you a straight answer.
Between my country and Russia, I can say for sure that one of them has not bombed/invaded/occupied/ethnically cleansed/impoverished another nation in the past 80 years. So again, fuck Putin and fuck Russia.
The UK is definitely deindustrialising, it has been doing so for 40 years, and it ha indeed led to large declines in living standards, mostly to do with the concomittant neoliberal economic policy including it's current incarnation, "austerity", as well as brexit, large-scale corruption, attacks on the welfare system, and the like.
> There was no signed agreement, I'm not disputing that.

So why allegedly breaking this 'no signed agreement' held at a higher standard than Russia breaking actually signed agreements?
4) The news is not geopolitically neutral
Am I alone in saying that some peoples myopic focus on race in general given this conflict is quite frankly disgusting.
Well, the really ironic part of it is that the machine learning models using transformers were literally conceived for converting between languages. So this would be quite the valid use case. Unfortunately, it makes the name more confusing.
After some years without cases and if the country has a high vaccination rate, the recommendation is to switch to use only the injectable vaccine that uses inactivated virus (informally "dead"), so it can not revert and cause cases later.

Thank you, that's interesting to know. I had the impression that the Russian plan was to just get there and just never leave until Ukraine kind of surrenders or whatever.
> If you run the flagship server, which is coded in Python, you need a lot of RAM. Gigabytes. So the $4/mo level VPS, or a cheaper Pi, might not be enough.

If you don't join lots of big federated rooms (50-100 servers, 1000s of members), 1GB is enough for Synapse+Postgres
How do the frameworks you use do it?

If the value is remote, I assume a websocket or regular AJAX poll. If the value is local, simply binding an event emitter to the DOM should do it. Both would be lower load and compute than most frameworks.

Sure, all of that is true of mass market consumer electronics businesses/products.

But a lot of the world makes (or peices together) fewer, higher budget products/projects and sells them to more focused markets (boutique hotels, regional CVBs, breweries, etc).
Shaming companies into doing the right thing with customer service was literally the reason I got a Twitter account, and for a decent time (a year, perhaps more) that's all I had it for, but I gradually got used to using it for other things.

The whole "reply here" thing is always so obvious, you know companies suggesting it are going to be useless at least half the time. It's a big factor in those companies that I blacklist.

No doubt it's fairly hard for companies to figure out "voting with your feet" scenarios driven by idiotic support, unless they listen to the tone of voice going from friendly to concealed rage!

The other thing that's similar to this is the company reminding you that actually they are crap because they've sent you a survey. I've had quite a few cases with companies where I've basically forgotten how bad they were (thus effectively forgiven them) and then they send a survey asking to rate their service, and crucially when it asks why I chose a rating, it'll all flood back and then I go from so-so to never do business with them again!
"Modern" devops (and kubernetes). It seems to me that people want to avoid human error and dependence by replacing human operators with complex networks of dozen of services, each of which can fail in isolation or in conjunction with others. How do we measure the costs and benefits of putting in all that extra complexity in our stacks, how do we ensure that the friction they cause will not be a greater detriment than the previous situation they aim to improve? Are we in a situation where the solutions to existing problems have so many problems themselves that they need solutions of their own, thus creating an infinite tower of ever more complex software?
Why will the FBI just randomly tell a company you linked to their site? There's more to this, but get a better lawyer, and the FBI won't be the one to calculate/charge you. Sorry, but your story doesn't add up.
The number of people who think themselves world experts in something is truly enormous. Wikipedia needs to be maintainable by people who aren't topic experts. They can't just go around anointing people that sound expert-y to them, as that would introduce far more bias, western and otherwise.

Wikipedia's job isn't to push forward the frontiers of knowledge. It's to summarize the stuff you can look up elsewhere.
I was with you until you said prove it "to the public"

After the WMDs and 17 intelligence agencies agree fiascos, among countless others, I'm beginning to lean on the side of the media being able to sell snow to an eskimo.

I know this is US-centric and lots of europe/other parts of the world were much more skeptical of the WMD claims at the time.

Before people politically flame me, I mention the "17 intelligence agencies" for 2 reasons
1) getting 17 people to agree on anything is impossible, getting 17 gigantic bureaucracies larger each than most governments to agree on anything is asinine.
2) most of the evidence, if you read the redacted report, was trivially forgeable so as to be pointless in determining actual responsibility. "we found cyrillic characters in the code, only could have come from russia!"

Hi, I'm Destin. I've been doing software development for almost 8 years, at companies both big and small. I like to solve problems (no matter the topic), so I have a pretty wide skill set. At my most recent position I was the software development lead in a small team, so I was basically running everything (I setup the CI, designed the data models, deployed the website, created most of our integrations, etc...).

I prefer full-stack development, but I'm open to anything. I'm available to start work in late April / early May.
Well, it is a crisis to people who bet their career in this field. These people are here to stay (in the field) and since there are no experimental progress that shed lights on fundamental physics, the effort of all these people are stuck in coming up with theories in existing paradigm that is still compatible with the increasingly more stringent limit from experimental physics.

They didn't shift gears and work on other projects. The whole field bet in String Theory and are stuck. Like explained in the book "The Trouble with Physics", it is a career suicide for people not wanting to deal with String Theory and still be a theoretical physicists in high energy physics.

One may say a similar crisis has happened by the end of 19-th century. All but a few peculiarity in Physics were explained by the then modern physics. Some thought theory of physics were almost "complete", and only later to find out a major paradigm shift (actually 2, quantum theory and relativity) completely changed the way we viewed physics, and now becomes our cornerstone to understand physics.

AFAIK, physicists generally like this kind of crisis, some make a career chasing crisis, because this might be the hint of new physics and the next paradigm shift.
>they definitely had computer engineers and programmers just as sophisticated as USA

Russians also have a world-class reputation in math and physics. At least they did in the 20th century. Now that experiments are so capital intensive, theoretical physics has become unfalsifiable silliness, I would assume that these people went into software. Although I could be wrong.
"if I refuse to debate certain people on the Internet who don't adhere to my rhetorical standards, am I "imposing my regime on everyone else"

Thats a terrible analogie.

To argue that being cut off from the global economy is 'freedom of association' is like arguing that selling cocaine to children is 'just free market' and "honest business"

Countries are not people - if the rest of the world stops trading with UK, 60 milliom people starve. In some countries, people will freese to death without fuel. West imposed moderate sanctions on Russia, and economy is already collapsing.

If you’re removing a device, it shouldn’t matter if the data is unreadable (that’s probably why it’s being removed, no?)
Making one oversimplification means you need to be very particular? The point stands that some people that look at this tool will likely expect something very different than what it is. If this tool gets enough prominence, it won't be a problem. If it doesn't, it will be a misleadingly named software stack. Worse things have definitely happened.
What's the problem with that weight? Road damage?

Hell we even learned from leaked documents her campaign instructed the major networks to focus more on Trump as they thought he would be the easiest candidate for her to beat.
Implementations of C have more functionality than C itself - like inline assembly or syscalls or machine-specific intrinsics, so it can do more. ISO C only has what's written in the standard.

(A syscall is an example of "something you can only do because the implementation isn't visible to the caller" - it can violate aliasing that way.)

Also, my argument isn't about type aliasing, it's about UB on out of bounds pointers. Could be some other aliasing issues though.
As someone who intersected with some of this work, my opinion is that it was likely a consequence of dwindling funding.
If that's your view, then there's no reason not to do a CBDC, as bad actors already have access to all the data.
There a few thoughts on this topic here:

https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/devlog.html

This is an interesting paper that explores the UVM approach to software preservancy listed on the Permacomputing page:

We can only assume that the Web server has been eaten by a grue.
The price is rising due to speculation. The supply hasn’t changed. Like literally the price is going up because speculators think the supply of Russian oil and gas will be reduced, but it hasn’t yet!!!

I hope they will "liberate" software from the evil "billionaires" (they are called oligarchs in Western Media).

Nothing exposes the western hypocrisy more.
Because of some reason discussed in the article I like unix's bc and also hoc when avaliable (through plan9). It would be nice if these two could also be included in the comparison.
I still have a reminder of relying on Freshmeat, in a 1999 Web page at the MIT Media Lab:

> Probably the best directory of Linux software right now is Freshmeat (http://www.freshmeat.net/). You can use the full-text search or the category-based browsing (labeled "appindex"). Note that the category scheme is kinda odd.

I also pointed people at `rpmfind.net`. I'd find those random packages scary today (like I do xda-developers), but it was a more innocent time.

apparently we can either cause major damage to the planet or all go live in caves. either we have to lay off the market completely for it to work its magic or its totalitarian communism. certainly I have a heard a republican answer - double down on consumption and the market will figure out a way (I call this this 'shoot the moon' idea from hearts).

the best thing about the market is that its highly adaptive. we should change the ground slowly and let it adapt. I guess that would be 'choosing the winners'
