No- the idea is that if you make an annotation mistake, you will get an error, because the program will not match its annotations.

Lifetimes are not like an `unreachable` UB operation. Instead they are just a description of cross-function information, about what both the caller and callee are allowed to assume.

You could technically (both in Rust and under this proposal) do the same checks without them, if you had access to the entire program at once. However, this would be more expensive, and probably give you less-localized error messages (a lot like C++ template errors, for similar reasons).
I wouldn't generalize.

I already knew the context: I personally know people who to this day refuse to buy German goods because of WW2.

I still find the quote amusing.
At least they let you know pretty early on what you would have to go through to finish to process. It would have been better if they let you know before the HR interview, perhaps in the job posting, but now I'm getting into fantasy world even though it should be a reasonable thing to do.
Awesome :) Iirc there was a kickstarter to port SodaPlay to HTML5 in 2015 but it failed. I've been meaning to make my own port, it's great to see this here!

I wonder, does this accurately simulate the original physics? My own attempts at ended up with a slightly different feel to the physics.
An L6 manager and an L6 IC do different work though. And it's rarely (read: never) the case that the person in charge is most knowledgeable about all the details.

If an L6 manager could keep all of the details of all of the things all their reports are working on organized, they aren't handling enough scope. Imo that's the difference between 5 and 6. You can no longer track all the details in one person's head.
So, in Russia, you can order some food, including delivery, for just US $8.76. That's fascinating.
"We are all homo sapiens and should be offered the same opportunities as everyone else."

Right so NOW we should have meritocracy? You're a little late to the debate.
You're gish galloping. Rather than continue to propose arguments without evidence of actual risk, find a citation that has a salient hypothesis that's tested that shows risk.

We aren't your Google-scholar and you're just promoting FUD by asking into the ether "but couldn't X cause Y". Me typing this message COULD cause a butterfly effect that leads to an earthquake. In any "does X cause Y" scenario you have two answer what the probability is that X causes Y and what's the impact of X does cause Y.

In RFR exposure terms it's what is the probability that RF below ionizing levels cause damage to DNA to promote cancer. The vast majority of the research says no and theoretical mechanisms for harm of RF below ionizing levels has never been proven to anything close to a statistical significance or in ways that are reproducible. Even if you did you'd have to assume impact. The OP study is basically assuming there's some impact and studying the population broadly and observed none.

Low probably, low impact, low or no risk.

Please present evidence that presents a high risk argument that is backed by some research showing an increase of the probability and/or impact or rfr exposure to DNA damage.

Until you do that, you're gish galloping. Please respond to our arguments (or consider if we're right) instead of declaring new ones with no references.
Oh Jesus Christ whatever
I don't understand why Kagi is appealing, tbh. It just gives you Google and Bing results. What type of censorship does Kagi really apply? It wasn't until just recently that DDG admitted to censorship. Not sure if I can trust Kagi's promises of privacy, etc since they don't open source it...the same problem I have with DDG.
Contact-free laser record players exist and have for quite a while, yeah. Main benefit AFAI can tell is avoiding wear on the vinyl.
Who is the arbitrator that determines which classifiers enjoy the protection of ‘hate speech’?
Interesting. Is a magnetic event more plausible for you than other types of decay? I'd expect physical damage from something like a flooding to be much more likely than some sort of magnetic interference.

But that probably depends on the location you live in!
You don't need to have been there, though, as anyone can read the perfectly-preserved exchange even now.

I thought BluRay was subject to the blank media levy in Australia, but apparently not! [0] Note that not every country got off without though - just a few lines down, the article notes the levy is present on BluRay discs in Finland, among others.

As an aside, I'm of the impression not enough people know about this levy. It feels to me like the kind of thing that fouls up the "nothing to hide" arguments regarding privacy; that is, a law few know about, but one that affects lots of people that wouldn't necessarily agree with being charged for something they may not be doing.

While I'm sure some people still pirate and rip to BluRay, I'd assume they're just as likely used for things such as home movies, format shifting (which is legal in Canada [1]), or just plain backups (which I use for important files like a keepass database or 2FA codes).

While this has drifted off-course slightly, it may at least have given you an answer regarding why BluRay discs didn't fall too far in price - at least if you're based in Finland.

Then there isn’t a problem — at least for FAANG. People are willing to jump through more hoops for more rewards in all aspects of life.

If a less prestigious company with worse compensation tries the same thing, then they will quickly discover they can’t hire anyone. It will be self-correcting.
I think the suggestion is that we should use the word "complete" when we mean it. Presumably, unlike say a software project, there is an actual state of completion possible in sequencing the human genome. Why has that mark been supposedly met so many times over the past couple of decades, only to be called complete again a few years later? When is it actually complete? Does it even matter anymore?
Those are some high standards, you value your time at 250×8×5×52= half a million a year?

I don't disagree that 30 hours is way over the top for an interview question unless you happen to find it as much fun as <insert your favorite hobby>, or if it's somehow usefully spent time for other reasons, but your response seems to be at an equally extreme end of the spectrum.
For me that is definitly not normal, that is something I will subject myself only if out of options and desperaly need a new job.
There is still room for improvement though, parts of the Y chromosome are still not there.

Is it gonna be GRCh39 or will they change the naming scheme again?
I think this would be the most fair to the candidates, especially ones with prior experience who don’t want to spend time on useless leetcode questions that have zero to do with the job itself. I can’t help but feel this is just gate keeping.
You pay them a lot of money if they pass, but the others get zero. You’re basically annoying lots of people to make that one person happy.
>I would think technology did far more work pulling people out of poverty

Thanks to capitalism!

>And capitalism is only like 250 years old.

And the rate of humanity leaving poverty in that time span is greater than any other time in history.

>You could have made your same argument 500-1000 years ago about feudalism pulling people out of poverty

Err, no? If anything, that pushed even MORE people into poverty. No one sane would ever make that argument.

>yet I doubt anybody would be all that happy to switch to a feudalist system and would heavily criticize any claims that feudalism was the main driving factor behind improvements in technology and living standards.

Because you're inventing a fictional strawman. Feudalism did the opposite of your claim.
Hence the word "supposed". I would consider myself to be part of the left.
That's a fascinating idea! So let's dig in a bit.

A lot of places experience the procession of the equinoxes. You wind up with the sun coming up after typical daytime working hours start and often setting after they end for part of the year. In places like Finland, this can mean a six-hour day in December. Some people may be different, but many expect things like Netflix and other entertainment options to work well in the evening. The details of solar power mean that less than 100% of daylight hours are useful for generation.

Further, the decreased usage of local data centers would have to be balanced against increased long-distance bandwidth usage and the corresponding increase in data center usage elsewhere. You would need to over-provision quite a few places relative to local demand to keep up their part in this follow-the-sun.

Let there be no doubt that your idea is interesting. It might not result in any desirable outcomes, though. Naively, it seems like it could get pretty expensive to turn one data center into four or five (with attendant solar farms) with a bunch of intercontinental high-bandwidth links to avoid having to store energy. It might work for some workloads, but seems sub-optimal for general-purpose use.

A more detailed financial analysis is of course possible and perhaps worth exploring! Adding wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, and nuclear power would make the whole thing far more workable. Or just use local energy prices.

As a Vim/Tmux user who lives in the terminal, I absolutely abhor all these coding websites. They do not have all the Vim keybindings I use and my own personal shortcuts I have embedded in muscle memory. It's such a frustrating process.

> I can't imagine this to be true for the vast majority of web/sass companies

I entirely disagree with this except for the most trivial things you describe. And for those trivial things, does your company just have a never ending list of these things which are not fixed. Feels like you go through 2 candidates (60 hours) and that backlog is now cleared.

The BBB is a for profit company who's customers are businesses not consumers so I'm not surprised by this rating.

Ok, I think that’s reasonable. At the level of individual research directors, I agree that probably the large majority of them have good intentions.

My concern is that there aren’t just altruistic research directors. There are funders. There are politicians. There are militaries. There are covert agents. And I get really concerned how easy it is for actors with less savory, noble intentions to coopt naive researchers into participating in a larger agenda.

It’s super convenient for everyone to be able to have the plucky, innocent, earnest research director come out with shining optimism about the potential. And it’s a convenient reason not to totally slam the brakes on research that, for better or worse, may lead (may have led) to global pandemic.
I mostly followed lecture notes on the subject and a few papers on issues like prime checking.
There is no reason to believe that 1 watt 10s of meters away has a biological effect. Do you have some links to studies that would suggest otherwise?
that's my main concern - screwing around with config files.

I just want to download an OS image, write it to a USB stick, put my ROMs on the stick, put the stick in my mini PC, and boot it up and play.
Abraham Lincoln wrote this letter to a girl who had been struck by severe grief following the death of her father in the American Civil War. She was so overcome that she had locked herself in her room for weeks at a time. It really seems to touch on your point here.

Executive Mansion,
Washington, December 23, 1862.

Dear Fanny

It is with deep grief that I learn of the death of your kind and brave Father; and, especially, that it is affecting your young heart beyond what is common in such cases. In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all; and, to the young, it comes with bitterest agony, because it takes them unawares. The older have learned to ever expect it. I am anxious to afford some alleviation of your present distress. Perfect relief is not possible, except with time. You can not now realize that you will ever feel better. Is not this so? And yet it is a mistake. You are sure to be happy again. To know this, which is certainly true, will make you some less miserable now. I have had experience enough to know what I say; and you need only to believe it, to feel better at once. The memory of your dear Father, instead of an agony, will yet be a sad sweet feeling in your heart, of a purer, and holier sort than you have known before.

Please present my kind regards to your afflicted mother.

Your sincere friend,

A. Lincoln
Yes absolutely! (Edit: or maybe not :-) see sibling comment for more info)

Actually, the "Waver" youtube video linked at the top of the README has an embedded ultrasound transmission at around 0:36. I can for example decode the message on my iPhone by simply running the Waver app and playing the video on my PC.

Some people have already done some work for AV sync in the issues of the project [0].

In the hypothetical situation that me and my wife are locked out of all my bank accounts (multiple in multiple countries) and that somehow my family and friends are unwilling/unable to assist I still have assets I can sell. But sure, if you're planning on/for becoming a fugitive from the law (lessay) then it might make sense to keep cash or something like gold. I'm really not planning or going to worry about that sort of low probability event. I have considered keeping gold but that's more because I like how shiny it is than any real concern.
> Most tech companies now do around 4-5 interviews. [...] After being subjected to these demeaning Leetcoding interviews I went through a refreshingly pleasant experience. It was an interview with just one person. They gave me a technical open-ended problem and two weeks time. [...] I did have to spend around 30 hours researching that problem as it was an unfamiliar problem space for me.

For me it's the complete opposite. What I would consider demeaning is to spend 30 hours across two weeks interviewing for just one company while they don't even bother to send more than one interviewer.
I assume there is some level of exaggeration here?

If not, it might help to actually try this. Take an aggregate of 15 interviews in the next couple of months and you're bound to learn something. My hypothesis would be some new empathy for interviewees but maybe you find a better role at a better company in the process. If the worst case is that it is a colossal waste of time, then you again have found empathy for the interviewee.

Ultimately, you might be narrowing your pool of applicants to only those willing or unwitting to go through that process.

It was always a condition of him staying in Russia that he could only call out things that occurred anywhere but Russia.

He has a wife and child now and in calling out the Kremlin he’d either be jailed by the Russian government or expelled by Russia and likely taken to the US for trial.

mister looks cool. is it as simple as buying the hardware, putting the ROMs on it and powering it up?
Buying gas does not lead to deindustrializing. In fact, quite the opposite.

If the west was still more industrial, rather than moving to service, it would need MORE gas not less.
Really slick website, love it. When you talk about "we" is that the royal "we"?
Serious question: Was the BBB always a joke? I remember 30 years ago it was generally regarded as a trusted and neutral entity. Much like Consumer Reports still is. (Yeah, people have their quibbles with CR’s methodologies and verdicts, but I don't see anyone question their integrity)

But now I wonder if we (or just I?) were all just too unsophisticated to see that BBB had been captured by the businesses they purport to review.
I think the idea is just to have different kinds of backups that have different failure modes, to make losing everything at once less likely.
Putting on my conspiracy robe, I would say something like he's a Russian spy, but his roots are well researched and he's the most doxxed person on the planet, so it's hard to claim he's a Russian spy. The guy seems genuine enough in my eyes, and changed the Internet forever. Like, 90% of sites are encrypted now, and he sparked a privacy revolution after the leaks. He's not a traitor, he's a hero IMHO. Others who claim he's a traitor probably think outfits like the NSA or other agencies are good or benevolent (Hint: they're not).
A friend of mine wrote a book on SCADA security - he self published it and was asked by the US government to take it down immediately.

Maybe not people his age, but I suspect he was simply too young to be aware of the burgeoning home computer scene, as made apparent but the bizarre suggestion that the only people playing computer games were computer professionals. As I said, "nonsense".
> I actually got stuck at an interview because I forgot the nlogn solution for two sums. Absurd!

Are you talking about determining a pair of numbers in an array that sum to a given value? That's O(n) and just uses a hashset/hashmap.
Do you mean that Firefox will not install or work in ReactOS?
Yeah Google not having any support channel or recourse for content providers and having Kafkaesque policies around this kind of thing is the first bit of bad faith going on here.

If Google gives zero information on what the real problem was and people want to scream about how its a deliberate policy of suppression on Google's fault we should let them and not feel bad about amplifying it.

Google can fix this all just by being more transparent and providing support.
Complete here means the full end-to-end sequence of all chromosomes in a single human cell line named CHM13. The typical human cell has 46 chromosomes, in 23 pairs (one from our mother, one from our father) named chromosome 1, chromosome 2, and so on. This CHM13 cell line is special is that each of its pairs is (nearly) identical. Each chromosome is a long string of A,C,G,T nucleotides. So, this complete genome is a full set of 23 sequences without any "not sure" positions or "gaps" in the sequence.

One common analogy is to consider the genome sequence (a.k.a. assembly) as a map. Since the initial publication of the human genome in the early 2000s, most regions of human DNA has been known in full resolution. Other portions, most prominently the repetitive centromeres that lie at the middle of chromosomes, have remained unmapped. It was known that they exist, approximately how big they were, and which types of sequences lay inside, but the full order of the sequence had never been determined for any human genome until this work.

You could consider the genome like the earth and the centromeres like a dense rainforest. Previously we had detailed maps of most of the earth, and we had mapped the boundaries of the rainforest and had satellite-level images (i.e. we knew they were full of plants). Now we have on-the-ground pictures with full detail.

Having a map of these sequences makes the accessible to study. One of the most valuable uses of the human genome is as a shared coordinate system used by scientists to compare different individuals and identify and name genetic variants that explain human traits. We lacked that coordinate system for a big chunk of the genome until now.

As you say, this paper reports the sequence of a single human cell line named CHM13. Each of us has a slightly different genome sequence (really two of them, one from each parent). Now when scientists sequence the genomes of more individuals, they can look at these regions that were previously ignored. Certainly understanding those regions will improve our understanding of human biology. Exactly how much will remain to be seen.
Good for MIT recognizing water is wet.
No. But how would have Bach ever gotten any good at this if the organ didn’t have foot pedals? For instance because the designer would have believed that “people just weren’t as good with their feet as with their hands”.
I've had to use matlab in undergrad and grad courses. Yes, it's useful because it has tools for filter design, for plotting, etc etc. What tends to happen though is that a person works on some prototype in matlab without any regard to actual implementation in practice and then throws it over the wall, and then the person writing the actual firmware has to re-invent half of what has been done in matlab so it works within the constraints of the hardware.
Carson’s gonna be tough, he died in 2005.
It's normal. A company that doesn't do this, unless it's tiny, is a warning sign. Why?

Short answer: It's very difficult to work with incompetent colleagues colleagues.

Long answer: We don't rely on a credentialing process like other fields do. Some people lie on their resumes or embellish their skills. Other people overestimate their skills. As a result, employers have to determine competence in the interview process.

A single coding question is often not enough. At a minimum bias can creep in, but also poor interviewer skill can make a good candidate appear poor, or could allow a poor candidate to pass. Furthermore, often companies need to screen for particular skills that are critical for a given product.

Furthermore, I think it's useful to be exposed to everyone's communication style, and for everyone to be exposed to your communication style. Often that has more to do than just technical competence.

FWIW: My wife is a pediatrician and her job interviews were mostly mutual interest. But, she had to go through a rather intense credentialing process. Our industry doesn't seem to trust credentials for reasons that I never understood, therefore, we tend to rely on employers gauging technical competency instead of a third party gauging technical competency.
