If antimatter was created during the Big Bang (and it was, we actually just don't know why there is more matter than antimatter [1]) it could exist in issolated-enough patches of the Universe. Photons, gravitational waves or neutrinos coming from those regions would not differ in any way, so we would not be able to identify those regions, up until they merge with normal-matter-filled ones (which is unlikely due to accelerated expansion of the Universe [2]).

Edit: as a matter of fact experiments, like the one described in the posted paper, allows to shed some light on the properties of antimatter and why there is more matter in the Universe (matter-antimatter anisotropy).
A Missouri radio station still broadcasts Kremlin programming
Sure, but I don't think that was a necessary outcome. Consider this quote: "I felt disgusted about what my uncontrolled sexual cravings had almost led me to do. And I felt humiliated, and I violently hated the psychiatrist. Just then there came a major turning point in my life. Like a Phoenix, I burst from the ashes of my despair to a glorious new hope."

I agree he went with something common to the time. But I don't think that was a necessary outcome. After all, his approach didn't achieve his goals, so we can't say his sort of terrorism is any more rational than aiming for something bigger. Indeed, the nominal goals he ended up with, one could argue that mass-death terrorism is more rational.
> Currently, Twitter is awash with disinformation about the Russia/Ukraine war

Disinformation by Ukraine or Russia? Because if it's Russia, it's trivial to ignore pro-Russia sentiment. Ukraine on the other hand even has its own meme army accounts and tries to humor everyone with memes (that are actually good and not half-baked pro-Russia ones). Largely you will find positive sentiment towards Ukraine on Twitter and not some 2016-style psyop campaign by Russia to sway US elections.
Yeah, beat me to it, that was why I used Canada as the example. They're not invading anyone, but domestically, people that live in glass houses...

Most radio has been pretty much the top 40 to my memory of the last couple decades. However, there used to be more independent radio stations which at least played the top 40 of a different style. And there were more shows even on those stations that broke out of the box. Now I swear the company that bought the companies that bought up all the stations has decided that that was way too much variation and put an end to it. I've got at least 4 country stations I can get on my radio that play the exact same songs as each other until whoever is in charge releases another set. I don't know if it's gotten worse in the last 5 years because I gave up listening to the radio.

Now I've got a music app that mixes up the smaller, more specific genres I prefer. Basically the drop in the quality of radio caused me to go to streaming which has caused me to develop a taste for less common subtypes of music. If country radio had continued to play anything besides guys with fake southern accents singing about girls in cut-offs and trucks, I'd probably still be listening.
Not too literate in this, but I'd say that the mass of a proton is large enough so that quantum effects (such as the quantization of of energy) become less relevant than classical mechanics (which lets the antiproton get pulled toward the proton).

Correct me if I'm wrong though.
The data should eventually become public. And regardless of if DHS is hacked (and lets be honest this is probably going to be kept in Excel somewhere), advanced actors like state-sponsored groups already know who they're hacking and already sell or trade access when it suits them.

The public finding out how badly most "critical" companies are at security and integrity is really the best thing that can happen.
In my experience there's always _something_ that isn't well supported by design tools. Some validation rule, some odd required relationship, a UI that isn't at all supported, and what is supported isn't at all liked by stakeholders. Half the app is legacy and still being migrated and this new widget depends on XX legacy component, etc.. I've personally observed 3 apps start as a GUI-based application, but by the time it shipped v1, and definitely v2, most of the app was hand-rolled.

Also in my experience, basically every company out there needs or wants an app. A web app, a phone app, a TV app, a tablet app.. internal apps, external apps, apps to gap 3rd party app integrations, they're fucking everywhere. A lot of these 'apps' are just web forms over CRUD data for one reason for another, but it's custom for some reason. And the reasons for why a GUI builder gets phased out also applies to why app-farm apps also get phased out of a company. Eventually, with enough success, having an internal dev team is just so much smoother than contracting or bridging the gap with excel spreadsheets. Someone has to wire things together, and eventually they get to fixing the root cause of inconsistency and a custom app is born.

I think we will have programming jobs for basic forms for a lot longer than any one of us would suspect, for a lot of reasons. But my last and most important thought is, once something becomes easy for anyone to do it becomes common. To stand out you need to be uncommon in some way, so there will always be space for people who can do what most others cannot.
It's not so much that they have to plan for 100 years at once, but that they can execute strategies lasting more than one power cycle. Their pendulum (and with it, bills and executive orders and social effects) doesn't reset every 4-8 years.

Wouldn't neutron poisoning "brick" the reactor? In the scenario cited that's better than a meltdown... just curious if neutron poisoning can be reversed.
> But the entire thesis of the OPs comment is that we shouldn't be valuing staff based on any one specific technical skillset, but rather based on their broader software development skills and experience, because learning the ins and outs of any specific software stack is not itself that difficult given enough experience.

Exactly. Tech stacks are extremely transferrable, at least to an experienced developer.

Imagine hiring a painter. You want a green wall. You don't rule them out, or pay them 20% less, because the last wall they painted was pink.
Why would this be worse than any other test employers give an applicant?

It might not be very indicative of the expected performance of the applicant, but does that matter? If an employer wants to try me on remembering English regents or inverting a tree on a whiteboard there isn’t much I can do about it except maybe walk out ands/or tell others about my bad experience interviewing.

Why would there even be a law (or backlash) against IQ tests? Are they seen as discriminatory?
My rudimentary guess is either due to the strong and/or weak forces combined with lack of orbital/shell velocity.

The antiproton is negative.

The protons with neutrons are collectively positive.

The orbital velocity of the antiproton is slower than that of an electron (being something like 180x more massive).

And along with above, the - and + charges attract strongly. So the antiproton orbit rapidly decays to the nucleus.
Learning JavaScript is such a small cost for an experienced developer who has done any kind of similar work in any language, relative to the 3-6 months of company level ramp up you propose, as to be essentially meaningless.

If you need a JS expert because you currently don’t have anyone who can figure out performance problems with junior engineer’s changes, that’s one thing, but you then probably can train that JS expert in any JS framework very quickly. Likewise if you need a UX expert, that UX expert should be able to pick up Swift or whatever language you need them to work in faster than it takes them to grok the business problems you’re actually solving.

Thanks! SAML and SCIM are both on our short-term roadmap and are really important. We want to implement it such that the code you write for supporting orgs today works regardless of the type of integration - and then the differences would primarily be the experience for your end-users.

There's a one to many mapping from users to organizations. We can also support users that don't have organizations. What types of configurations would you want?

This makes me wonder, if we had a significant amount of anti-hydrogen (but not enough to make a star), what would be the most complicated thing we could build out of it, and how would we go about doing so? (I also asked on: https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/699258/building-...)
It's been a long time since chemistry and physics class, but isn't "orbital" in this context not the same thing as gravitational orbits? I was told the concept of orbitals represented where an electron could exist around a nucleus and that it wasn't actually traveling in a path bound by the gravity of the atom. So in this context, how is it actually falling into it's surface? Is it just tunneling into contact?

I'm an architect and to me design definitely means a very different thing than just how the UI looks, think system design.

Have you read the Tractatus? After Frege, and Russell, it's difficult to think of a philosopher who contributed more to the analytic style of exposition.

There is some irony in dismissing him as "nonsensical", because he himself suggested the Tractatus was "nonsense". The point of writing it was to demonstrate that philosophy in his time (e.g. the logical atomism of Russell) had gone astray.
There's no reason that a principle use can't be a misuse either. E.g. the principle use of biological warfare agents is a misuse.

You can’t have a dozen middle tier and front end people at the whims of one backend guy why isn’t interested in ramping someone up to load shed. That was a terrible contract, and at the end I’m sure they went back to the status quo. Him holding the reins of the data and his job while the initiative ramped down and they waited for the next time they got the political will to spend a bunch of money.
You could probably argue that in the soft domains of music & literature, the explosion of widely available content might actually be a cause of the "decline" - it's not unlikely your undiscovered genius looks at everything out there, thinks "I guess it's all been done, and I probably won't be noticed in amongst all this noise anyway", and takes a well-paying job instead of creating the next great work of art.
Knowledge of actual physics. Explosions can "easily" be simulated from first principles. Easily in scare quotes because it takes quite a bit of computing power. This was actually my wife's first job back in 2003, simulating missile strikes for the Naval Research Lab. A thorough simulation took a few days back then, but given that was almost 20 years ago, I'm sure it's a lot faster now.

In contrast, think of what you'd need to do this via machine learning. You'd need to gather data from actual missile strikes first and learn approximation functions from that. While it's certainly doable, this is inherently less accurate, thanks to both approximation error and measurement error. It's not like pixels -> cat where the true function isn't known.
Those recommendations are being triggered by the phrase "Tree of Life":

Damn, you beat me there! Question is, how do we leverage the GPU and RAM for a fully inclusive, and delightfully brilliant, customer experience?
We serve thousands of custom domains for our SaaS customers.

The end users of these domains are globally distributed and served from 14 different data centre locations across the world.

To do the geo IP matching we tried a lot of things, third party services etc but couldn't find one that works well and are priced well.

For example, the hosted DNS service we use also have a IP based filter chain feature but are priced around $22 per domain per month as add-on.

At the end, we built a anycast based solution that was very painful to setup but works fine now and can use a single A record that works across the world. We had a get a ASN, a /24 block and hell lot of back n forth with a government run org to set it up.

A "hosted" scriptable DNS server which takes the location as input and output IP of nearest edge server as output is the exact thing I needed. So yes there is definitely a niche market for it.

I still have to explore and see how closely bunnydns is able to get the source IP/location (tricky) and how does health check etc could work but definitely something I would explore and consider.
Thanks for the courteous reply that I probably didn't deserve. I also hate when a site pops up a sign-in or any other pop-up when I try to read the content. If I am interested in reading the content I look for ways around the obstacle. In this case, clicking the X to close it was all I needed to do. To me, that is easy enough and by far less annoying than the obnoxious cookie pop-ups or email requests. After reading the article I can say that it was worth taking the time to click the X IMHO.

There is a difference between having power and being indispensable.

Power enables you to delegate whereas if you are indispensable but leadership has no idea what you do, you are powerless and stuck.

It's not fair that power is determined subjectively and largely politically, but it's the reality we live in.

Interesting, looks like this is bit arithmetic related, as it looks like even complex expressions seems to be handled fine, as long as there's no bit ops.

this has been shown over and over to be incorrect. go programs are within the ballpark of other languages in terms of LOC. usually the examples given are niche use cases that impact an extremely small amount of code.

golang is looking for ways to make it more ergonomic just hasnt found a decent path forward yet. interestingly your sum types complaint might allow for it eventually.

> Go really likes forcing you to either write a ton of tests or discover your errors in production

this is just not true compared to most languages. evidence please. given the prevalence of dynamic languages in the wild today its most likely the opposite. i know my golang tests tend to be less in number than java or any dynamic language.

>Farther down the list is escape analysis. Rather than just giving me control over whether allocation happens inline or indirect

also not true, golang absolutely gives you the ability to control this. but its guarded by rules. rules that prevent you from screwing up and causing memory issues. this is a good thing.

I agree that an author wants their work to be read and enjoyed or used to inform. I disagree that clicking an X to close a pop-up is an example of an obnoxious format. In my case, I let things load and then look for the easy way around any annoyances. If there is no easy way then that to me qualifies as obnoxious and that will make me move on to the next item.

There are studies about it and from what I’ve seen the surgical mask does not show enough impact to say that it clearly helps. The tests of how much the material can filter are irrelevant if everyone is wearing with massive gaps around their faces that let the air go out unfiltered anyway.

Synthetic kerosene as jet fuel seems to me to be a far more pragmatic approach, it does not require the development and airworthiness certifications of entirely new fuel handling and storage systems, and it does not make obsolete the entire stock of existing aircraft.
No, the US has long classified speech on weapons of mass destruction, like how to configure shaped charges to trigger atom bombs. You're not free to circumvent those restraints. It's likely that identifying molecules suited only to become bioweapons or publishing how to synthesize them will also fall under the same strictures, as necessary to ensure public safety.

Free speech is a principle to guide laws, not a law unto itself. Protecting speech that makes people less free is oxymoronic.
