I'm sorry, but I have to nitpick a bit here.

> DST is really unnecessary because of the fact that we have to adjust the clock on our microwaves, ovens, and cars

While that may make it a hassle, it doesn't make it unnecessary, DST has a real benefit - giving an extra hour of sunlight after you leave work, an hour you couldn't use otherwise as you would either be sleeping or at work. Also being a bit tech-headed here but time sync has been a solved problem in IT for quite a while, NTP and all that :P.

> it leads to a lot of additional complexity when scheduling international meetings

We already have to deal with timezones, does DST really make that difference? Can't you schedule the meeting at 4PM EST and whoever is in that area figures out if it's 4PM or 5PM? Also google calendar and all that.
Conflict of interests between communities has nothing to do with a community limiting its own people's rights or resorting to atrocities in order to make the job of someone in the community easier.

See, this specific situation has happened because a worker decided that their job will be accomplished easier this way. For the mass surveillance or denial of privacy for people is based exactly on the same idea: If they have access to people's communications they will spend less time and money to do their job in comparison to more involved traditional methods. I find it ridiculous that people are expected to be harmed or denied privacy in order to improve the efficiency in an institution.

Not a very good article at all. I'm beginning to consider calling it the 'Non-Scientific American' magazine.

So tell me what causes lift when there is a zero angle-of-attack? If it's not Bernoulli's Principle?

There are TWO causes of lift: both Bernoulli's Principle AND a (limited) Angle of Attack. These combine arithmetically to produce lift. Engine power (thrust) produces speed of the wing through the air.

NOTE: Angle of Attack is measured against the relative air-flow. It has nothing to do with the angle of the wing relative to the ground.*

If the countering weight plus drag elements are less than the lift plus thrust elements the wing will fly. If the weight plus drag elements are greater than the lift plus thrust elements, the wing won't fly.

* Assume a powerful jet plane with engine-thrust greater than its own weight. That will allow it to climb vertically at 90 degrees to the ground. Assume the wings on that plane are fixed at zero degrees angle to the longitudinal axis of the plane.

Q: If the plane is climbing vertically (90 degrees), what is the angle of attack of the wings of that plane?

A: Zero degrees.

> The National Association of Convenience Stores opposes the change, telling Congress this month "we should not have kids going to school in the dark."

Wouldn’t it be more “convenient” to have children go to school at a time that is in line with their natural sleep patterns? From the CDC [1]:

“The American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended that middle and high schools start at 8:30 a.m. or later to give students the opportunity to get the amount of sleep they need, but most American adolescents start school too early.”

The current housing crisis is a demographic phenomenon created by longevity and birth rates 40 years ago. Those facts require the provision of a lot of new housing somewhere.

I entirely get the desire to live in a rural environment and keep Port Reyes as it is. The problem is that this desire is in direct conflict with housing being affordable. If everyone who lives in a non-dense neighborhood forces it to stay that way, new housing cannot be built and housing prices skyrocket because the population is increasing. This is literally the story of the Bay Area housing market.

I think there is a balance between not changing the built environment too much (the NIMBY position, say) and building enough new housing to keep prices reasonable (the YIMBY position). The problem is that over the last decades public policy has been dramatically in favor of the NIMBY position. And I think what we're seeing now is a backlash against this.
That could work for a smallish CRUD application I think (just using the function as a service approach to really squeeze efficiency out of the compute time), but yeah the specific numbers aren't quite as important as learning about how to acquire a scalable fraction of the power behind the massively distributed platforms that now dominate the world. This seems like one such approach that some devs have very definitely made working services from, based on a quick search.
ortenheim, we are exploring this and is in our roadmap. Is there anything in particular you are looking at? Would really like to understand your use case, if possible.
I did not claim that men and women have to choose careers in equal proportions. They might, or they might not.

But we do have plenty of examples where the expectations of society have influenced their choices in a way that conflicts with the free will of men and women.

I am sure we can both come up with many examples of things that society expects men to do, and things that society expects women to do. And, examples of scenarios where people would be treated very differently if they were a man or a woman. Obviously, these are a factor in people's life experiences, and therefore a factor in the way people make decisions. We may not expect them to choose differently given their own free will, but we also know that they are not making these decisions due to free will alone.

Permanent standard time would have been much better. I live in Massachusetts. We have a lot of narrow roads with virtually no street lights. In the winter, it's common for snow or ice to accumulate. Having kids walking to a bus stop and waiting on the side of the road in the dark for the entire winter is a safety hazard.
Dated is a term that is often applied with a broad brush to software in the past. Giving undo credence to new over the old is what I am referring to with the phrase "temporal bigotry". New is not better, it is just new. The better part has to be proven. The ability to make poor choices, write bad code and ignore already working solutions is timeless.

A Crypto Q/a with Amazon Engineers
If you're doing disaster recovery, do you really want to wait a day for your data? I don't understand why you want Google to slow things down. Why can't Amazon get cold data faster? It's fairly simple: all Google storage is online. There is public material on how it all works. Maybe you can ask them to add an artificial delay. There is offline storage, yes, but that's tape, which has bigger issues...

Your pricing model is flawed, because you're not taking into account other factors such as rebalancing. Years ago, I would have loved for retrieval to be that cheap to perform behind the scenes.
Obligatory mention: GPT-3 cannot learn to rhyme, it can only brute-force memorize rhyme-pairs, because the BPE encoding erases phonetic information from the encoding of words that a GPT-3 (and similar models like Gopher or GPT-J or Jurassic-1) is trained on. https://www.gwern.net/GPT-3#bpes

This is why that rap looks so weird: so high-quality in general, yet so totally lacking a critical element we expect from rap. GPT-3 has a pretty good idea how to write rap, but it just doesn't know what words sound like. It is blind to that. It can't see that difference between rap and poems. To it, rap is just a sort of poetry, and some words are chosen for reasons it can't understand, no matter how many rap lyrics or poems it looks at.

The better the models get at writing, the more this difference throws us for a loop: "how can it be so good at ABC, and yet fail so totally at D?"
wtf? i came across some tutorials there for work (aka the place where we dont do things properly because we arent pad to do so) and it was all script kiddie crap targeting some specific ubuntu distro that wont work next month (or worse, all i remember was that this was particularly egregious and even worse than all the other tutorial crap ive seen in that period of time). these blogs have been common since the 2000s as a simple place to make ad revenue with little effort. they were never good and only come on the radar because they easily drown out actual real content on search engines.

also, the "popular this month" thing on the top front of css-tricks.com is buggy as hell (buttons go flying left and right depending on where you move the mouse, and other things, not sure how its even meant to be displayed)

i have another rant now: why do devs lack basic awareness which would be required to be aware of the fact that lazy loading content is bad for the user experience? is it because they are paid $100K-$200K (for now, this trend wont last forever) starting salaries in their bubble with fast connections? literally every single country outside the west has slow computers and internet, and every single piece of modern software are unusable on them. in the US meanwhile, you cant get fast internet either and 50% of users are on mobile which also once again brings you back to square one.

like wtf imagine being SOOO unaware of how your product is used that you think its only used on Reference hardware. seriously what have webdevs done in the last 14 years while i wasnt looking? i dont see one single thing that was improved. im pretty sure what happens is in their world they are hyper focused on some little head scratcher like "making this UI element be able to be hooked up in a declarative document cleanly in this specific way and having a declarative model of how it interacts with these other declarative components" and dont realize everything still sucks overall and is getting worse. none of that should be surprising though, because the web already obviously a bad idea 30 years ago when people decided that website owners should be able to make users do shit before being able to read/view the content
Which defeats one of the supposed “benefits”: “meeting at 2PM” means the same everywhere.
Your position is indeed unpopular. Everything changes. The population keeps growing. Without development, there isn't enough space for all the kids of all the people you grew up with to stay in Point Reyes and have kids of their own.

Also, you don't just live in some random rural town. You live on the most scenic highway in the state, at the exit to a massively popular national seashore, in a major metropolitan area that has experienced massive growth.

And nobody is "forcing" development. That's all on the property owners. They are freely choosing to follow the financial incentives. The state "mandates" are just overriding local zoning laws that would have prohibited development by the property owners, or adding to the incentives for development. If the owners of a parking lot or the church want to keep it, the state would have to eminent domain it in order for it to be "allocated" for development.
>The vector extension was implemented in industry based on the draft

Not widely if that's what you meant by "in industry".

Most (like SiFive) did indeed wait for ratification (in case of last minute changes), before announcing their cores.

Pre-standard V chips do of course exist, and this is a good thing (there's better testing in using actual hardware implementations).

They have to use the opcode space reserved for custom extensions, and obviously cannot claim V compatibility. No overlap with actual V opcode space, and therefore no compatibility issues.

These are, nevertheless, fine for embedded uses in which the vendor has control over the whole stack.

It does also mean they have to take on the associated cost of having to maintain it, unless they choose not to actually use the custom extension at all, a choice that realistically will actually suffice for most deployments.
> Given the proximity to San Francisco, the real estate prices have skyrocketed. Almost all my blue collar friends have had to move. It is sad that we have become a neighborhood for tourists and wealthy tech owner second homes. But, the character of the town remains, which is a nice silver lining.

You see why it’s become that, and why your blue collar friends have had to move though, right? It’s not just that it’s close to San Francisco; it’s that being close to San Francisco means lots of people want to live there, and there aren’t enough places near San Francisco for them to live.

The idea that any town should effectively push its existing residents out in pursuit of “preserving the character of the area” just seems wrong to me. Are the aesthetics more important than the people who live there?

> I would hypothesize that the majority of people are not married to people who need to be at their jobs at 7am.

BLS collect data on this in the 'American Time Use Survey'. According to https://www.bls.gov/careeroutlook/2015/article/night-owls-an... 29% of people are working at their main place of employment at 7am on any given day. 52% are at work at 8am. The time use survey doesn't distinguish though between people who are at work at 7am coming up to the end of a night shift vs those who are at work at 7am at the start of a day shift.

Regardless, it certainly gives the impression that households where at least one working adult has to be at work by 7 are not freakish outliers. The reality of construction, retail, cleaning, healthcare, childcare, transport and many other common lines of work is early starts.

Many of these jobs aren't early directly because they line up with daylight, though - they're early because they need to get started before the rest of the workforce begins its day, because they exist in service of it. So if we all agree 'well, sure, lawyers can put up with a few more dark mornings in December', we're implicitly also deciding 'and baristas can have dark starts from October through to March'.

I started programming around 5th or 6th grade with a language called Kids Programming Language or Phrogram it was sort of like an Actionscript-y language. When I was younger I always found it really frustrating to use Scratch and I think that using that more realistic coding environment helped me build my foundation of skills as I learned the basics of syntax, branching, booleans, loops and debugging. I think syntax errors, reading coding and structuring code are all core skills that a young programmer should learn which I think these visual languages hide.

I personally recommend teaching kids with a more realistic but visual language like Processing.js: https://p5js.org/ It allows them to stay motivated by making games or other visual projects but it provides the realistic experience of programming in a more simplified language. There's also some great books and resources to teach out of like https://p5js.org/books/ and http://learningprocessing.com/

The use case I had for something tangentially related was an economic factors graph for linking weighted macro risk exposure in publicly traded companies, where for a given thing or company you knew about, you could link it to interest rates, suppliers, commodities and their prices, competitors, countries and locations of operations, investors, myriad other things, etc. It was a risk arbitrage discovery tool where within a few hops, you could find potential exposures that would affect prices. Data sources would be just piling stuff into the graph. sort of how this System tool appears.

Is that one of the uses this was designed for?
Yes, agree - if it were the "My Courses" page/section, it could definitely be read as such.

Big company acts like big company. As expected. Anything else is just hype that was, perhaps, useful to Google at some earlier point but probably something they (or their lawyers) wish they had never said. Hell, the company exists to sell ads and collect information on your all. I use gmail, so yeah, I'm being collected as well but fantasy sports isn't something I'm worried about divulging.

If you willingly work for these kinds of companies, you're complicit.
Given I have zero intention of making it any of those things, and this question was aimed at specifically learning more about the technical underpinnings of the rewarding part, I'm not really sure it's the right advice for what I'm doing. You will note that I indeed recognize it as being good advice in general though.

The generalizable advice about data co-location/data sharding is definitely something I will keep in mind (if this weird learner project really involves data in such quantities) however, thanks!
