This is a little clickbaity. I was expecting that Thomas would point out something in oral arguments or in a ruling that make the author look back and say "oh crap, he's right, that doesn't make sense, and it's an artifact of this bug in the program".

To save you the click: the author's program needed to keep a table of Supreme Court Justice names to correctly parse the transcripts, and he forgot to put Thomas on the table. It didn't make a difference, since Thomas never spoke to begin with. Until one day, he did, and the output of the program was obviously wrong, leading to the bug's discovery.

So, it's the presence/absence of the name that found the bug (not the Justice himself!), and, if anything, Thomas delayed the discovery of the bug by breaking convention and never asking questions for so long.

We’re on a mission to revolutionize the global electronics supply chain.
During the pandemic, we saw how the inefficiencies in electronics manufacturing can have a massive global impact. From over $200B lost in car manufacturing to delays on laptops, gaming systems, and much more.

At Breadboard we are rethinking the electronics supply chain down to the finest detail. We’re designing the new operating system in which this entire system will run. We’ve already secured funding pre-launch of the business and are now looking for our first few core engineers to help us set the foundation for the future.

This is not only a unique opportunity for someone who wants to get their hands dirty but also to take that step back and collaborate with the executive team on setting a strategic future.

> this shift pattern is just standard on German cars with manual transmission

"Standard?" Hmm. We have two cars with manual transmission, a VW Sharan and a VW Up:

The Sharan has R at the top left, then (reading across) 1 3 5 with 2 4 6 below; so 6th is at the bottom right.

The Up only has 5 forward gears, but for some reason they decided to put R at the bottom right (so down from 5th... you can probably see where this story is going)

I have once, and only once, been driving along at motorway speed in the Up, in 5th, and briefly thought I was in the Sharan, and started trying to change up to 6th, except the Up only has 5, and you're heading for R, not 6th. Happily I didn't complete the change...
I keep reading stories if people going to track day on their liter bikes and getting outrun by the instructor riding a 250cc scooter.

HN is not a political forum. I get that we like to talk politics here, and that's all well and good. But having someone make a brand new account to make a political opinion post that has little to no intellectual content seems like it should be unwelcome.
> These reductions will improve public health and provide environmental justice for communities who live near freeways and other heavily trafficked roadways, which are disproportionately low-income communities of color.

It's ironic how this kind of thing gets billed as helping some disadvantaged group, when every regulation like this (environmental, plus regulatory capture) is super regressive and but far the hardest on poor people.

I have no idea about the environmental benefits or whatever cost/benefit analysis has been done, but I know all of this ends up being part of the "war on the poor" that helps keep them in their place while people who are well off continue to do what they want.

Also, look for a lot more well off people driving "commercial vehicles" as soon as regs make it so you can't get a normal truck / SUV. Poor people will be stuck in some econobox autoshare delivering our uber eats, while we all drive F550s

Any evidence of anything you just said?
Andy Jassy was the prior CEO of AWS. He's not entirely new.
What's sad is that this is a "stunning win". It should be a routine event.

Now, McDonalds and WalMart.
A stream is in essence the same as the Observer pattern; every function that depends on the values of a mutable variable must use accessor methods to extract the most recent value when they need it, or pass it 'hook' callback functions that represent the next steps to take on new values.

So, in principle, it should have the same performance as the 'Chil­dren can issue noti­fi­ca­tion events' method in the article, since it's using what in essence is the same structure (just with a much nicer syntax, better adapted to functional programs).

The advantage of using functional streams instead of OOP observable callbacks is that it tends to be easier to write the program's large structure as compositions of functions over streams, i.e. it is easy to build modular functions without the bugs introduced by side effects.

I learned this style of programming through the online 'Paradigms'[1] course by Peter Van Roy, which you can take for free if you don't want credits. It uses the multi-paradigm language Oz to explain the essence of each paradigm and the differences between them. The course distills the primitives of different programming languages in terms of how they see state (see Van Roy's diagram in [2]), and how deciding to incorporate and combine some of those primitives and not others gives rise to the different programming styles. I found it enlightening, in the way that programmers' koans refer to.

How is it a prisoner's dilemma? Why would a union give its benefits to someone who didn't join?
It's a feel good sentence. Both pro-union and anti-union people can agree with it.

1. GPS doesn't "ping" multiple satellites. It's the other way around. Multiple satellites are constantly transmitting their times, and any receiver can listen in and figure out their location based on that.

2. regardless of how much technology/research went into developing the GPS, it's still fairly simple to access from a software point of view. A CPU may have millions/billions of transistors that are intricately placed, but that doesn't mean using your CPU to add two numbers can't be described as "simple".
I remember when bigger monitors had higher resolution. 15 inch monitors were 1024x768, 17 inch were typically 1280x1024 and some 20 inch monitors 1600x1200. Now nearly every panel from 13 inch to 32 inch are "4K" UHD with the exception of 24 inch monitors stuck at 1920x1080, it's sad because true HiDPI options (> 200 dpi) are extremely limited: two Apple screens, two LG screens and one Dell 8K 32 inch screen for PCs.
Writing efficient interpreters in a functional style is not easy. I write interpreters in OCaml for a living and we had to switch to a mutation-heavy style for performance and memory usage reasons. It can be done though.

When you think about it, any dependently typed language has to have an interpreter inside it, because you can put function applications inside a type and the typechecker will probably need to evaluate the application at some point. The go-to technique is to use Normalization by Evaluation [0], where you convert the AST version of a function in the interpreted language to an actual function in the host language, and piggyback off the host language's (presumably very fast) function application.

It has been quite a while but that's good to hear, that was worrying back a few years for the state!

But that's also interesting to note that city of Chicago is quite cheap then unincorporated? suburban cook county, the thing of course is all the historical reasons why city of Chicago is empty, though as of late, Bronzeville and more south has not been so bad.

So many beautiful houses there that were/are still quite cheap, relatively and good property.
They reduce car on car accidents, but sadly increase car on bicycle accidents as many car drivers fail to yield to the cyclists that are circling, especially when exiting the roundabout.

I would say for the most part, that's how all cars were up until the 90s. Post 2000 everything is computerized and there's not a ton a shade tree mechanic can do beyond swapping out parts.

Recommend reading a book called "The Elephant in the Brain".

For almost all human behaviour there are 2 reasons. The good reason (acceptable to others) and the real reason (selfish).
And we have evolved for self-deception on this because we need to deceive ourselves in order to deceive others.

As an example the primary motivating force for Peter Singer might be status and academic prestige, not concern for others. Would he do the things he does if he got no attention for it on a personal scale?
Ha! Nice piece of writing. What's the software equivalent of this car? I've heard loads of complaints from Oracle software users (database excepted; it appears to be a genuinely great product).
It's definitely not. People have just gotten used to very short and simple sentences, these days. Some would call a high percentage of all sentences written before, I dunno, 1970, run-on sentences, plus a good deal of the writing in contemporary but non-general-audience publications.
That's a lucky outcome of a very public, impromptu experiment.

Each new version has a different modulation profile. Biological effects of E-M exposure at sub-heating levels depend utterly on modulation. Analog, gen 2, gen 3, gen 4, now gen 5, are all different and on a random collection of frequency bands. Gen 5 uses a band not used before.

There is no reason to think results from one modulation scheme and frequency band would match those from another.
Right, but you can bypass that in a testing environment.

I'm a little surprised that the UK press is allowed to name Mr Kelly.

Once he has completed his punishment and appropriately paid for his crimes against society and the late Captain Moore, why will Mr Kelly still be newsworthy?

Won't he earn the right to have his crimes forgotten?
Even better: extract lithium and deuterium and then pump it back.
Given that many people are likely putting their jobs on the line by voicing support for unions, it’s unfair to forbid new accounts from taking place in these discussions.
> Ethereum cofounder Gavin Wood suggested the Ethereum blockchain become the foundation for a decentralized web.

Here is the problem. The web already is a decentralized construct. Anyone suggesting that their product or technology become the foundation for decentralization is a snake-oil salesman.
Well, the article starts from the year 2000.

I don't know exactly when I first learned about duck penises and labyrinthine duck vaginas, it's not precisely a 9/11 memory, but it was certainly after I left the farm in 2001 and could be entirely due to news reports about this researcher's research trickling out to the pop sci blogosphere.
That's someone who doesn't want to use short sentences, and an editor who wants to watch the world burn.
The primary endpoint of the Pfizer trial was any symptomatic disease. That means they would monitor participants for symptoms, and if they had any they would be PCR tested to make sure it was not something else. They claimed the lower end of the 95 confidence interval relative risk reduction was ~90%. You can look at the prescribing guide on the FDA's website for more details. J&J did moderate to severe disease as the primary endpoint though.

I've spent the past few years working at an ISP building automations and internal network reliability tools. I know impeccable JS, solid C and enough verilog to be dangerous. I'm very full stack, I will happily hack together a C backend that serves up a web GUI for tuning your galvo-control-FPGA. I am very good at dealing with problems I haven't dealt with before. I've been working on some motion control stuff in my free time in addition to designing a 3D-printable handheld spectroscope with a $30 BoM. I'm comfortable with CAD and CAM and I can safely work most of your garden variety CNC tools. On the EE/embedded side of things I don't claim to know any of the black magic but I've reverse engineered enough garbage hardware that it doesn't worry me. I can copy paste reference designs just as well as the next guy.

I'm looking for opportunities where my broad set of skill will be relevant to a small team, especially exciting would be anything involving 3D visualization and optics hardware.

P.S. I can also paint.
Facebook has some of the best researchers in machine learning and deep learning.

Which is exactly why some consider it to be a vanity division.

All that brain power devoted to a company nobody (genuinely) respects, and whose sense of vision -- in the current year, 2022 -- teeters between stale and outright delusional.

But hey, if it gets you $300k a year for easy work and resume cred for the kind of job you really want -- go for it.
> I think you just need to have driven a car from that era to understand this post and believe it

Yes, indeed. My first car when I turned 16 was a well beaten 1971 Cadillac that had it's share of rust and the like. The author's description of the gas pedal ballet for starting his 914 reminded me of a similar situation with that old Cadillac. For a cold start, all was normal, pump once to set choke and start.

But, for a warm start, one had to hold the pedal down /just the right amount off idle/ or else it would not start up for most attempts. And of course for a semi-warm start there was a decision process of "is it cold enough to need the choke, or warm enough to only need the "slightly off idle" setting". One got a "feel" for just what to do after a bit of time with it and it became no-big-deal, but for anyone new, the whole ballet would have been a very frustrating experience.

When it finally was retired and I upgraded to a car with a fuel injected engine, and no need to touch the gas pedal for any start, hot, cold or warm, a whole era of "being in tune with the car" disappeared.
I think the viewpoints on that are wildly diverse. As far as I’m concerned, it’s the exact opposite. Hence, I think it’s great that there is a big variety of different approaches that everyone can pick from according to their own preferences.
I disagree that any reasonable person could read it that way. It's totally impossible to come to that conclusion with the context of the article. Even out of context, it makes no sense that union leaders would feel a union victory is an existential threat to labor standards.

I'm experience what you described with a 200ms lag, and didn't notice it until you bring it up. On a 2020 Intel mac. After reflection, for the way I'm using cmd-tab 90% of the tab I prefer this slight delay as it doesn't block the screen when i'm switching between my browser/code editor, and when I need to press cmd-tab more than once, it's been 200ms and I'm able to press tab until I reach my desired app and I don't really notice that there was a delay

That's just blatantly false, unions absolutely make sense for skilled labor. This isn't to say tech workers should unionize, but teachers, public defenders, subway engineers, high skill building trades, skilled workers in film are all unionized.

Unions provide a ton of value if you're a skilled worker who does something comparable to gig work, jumping from jobsite to jobsite where the Union helps them keep their health insurance. It also helps when your job also has other political implications.

The context tech workers should unionize would be in an instance where they job hopped even more often than is currently the case, and also potentially on teams where you become just so specialized that switching companies becomes difficult.

Well the alien that Arroway meets on the beach says that they didn't create the worm holes, they found them, but have never found the creators, iirc. I just re read some of the parts that mention pi, and I was remembering it wrong. She goes looking for a picture, but I'm not sure she finds anything by the end of the book. I'm going to re read the whole book this weekend, it has been too long. Thanks for having a look!
Chaos theory says that in some systems, slight perturbations result in wildly different outcomes. Slight perturbations happen in brains all the time, yet they work. It's nothing to do with physical vs. simulation.
Unions are definitely bad for companies, but the fact that companies don't want them doesn't automatically mean that they're good for workers. They're a parasitic drain that's bad for both.

Also, with the sole exception of Japanese bus drivers, every union I know of that's ever gone on strike has, in doing so, used innocent third parties as collateral damage.
I have heard from various seasoned Supreme Court practitioners and former clerks that you can typically only lose ground in oral arguments, not gain it. I.e. Oral argument that can be carefully crafted and gussied up in the briefing can fall apart under scrutiny at argument. But you'll rarely if ever be able to persuade the Court at oral argument about a point that wasn't persuasive in dozens of pages of briefing.

My favorite example of this is in Citizens United, where the Government's attorney, in response to a question from Justice Alito, conceded that the Government's interpretation of the First Amendment would allow it to ban political books close to an election. See pp. 26-27: https://www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments/argument_transcr...
April Fools! I love it!
It seems like somebody like you has to pop in and imply (accuse) a commenter of being anti-labor or whatever, whenever it's pointed out that unions can have downsides.

Unions have upsides, and downsides. Discussing them helps people make good decisions. Pretending it's all flowers and rainbows does not.
