> Insurance companies are not including those generics in their plans so people can't use them.

Are they not available to patients directly?
> This is especially bad if you want the data structure to be shared across multiple threads. Just iterating over a tree now requires taking and releasing oodles of locks.

Um, what?

Persistent data structures don't require locks at all (because they're immutable), in fact using them in a multithreaded way is 100% safe and thus much easier than their mutable (and ordinarily more efficient) counterparts.
+ I suggest books from Shane Parrish – The Great Mental Models, which are exactly about solving all or at least many problems by using several (80-90) mental models.

Maybe a better, clearer heuristic is if leading zeroes change the meaning. For a credit card number, 0002 != 2 therefore a credit card “number” is really a string. For a linear regression calculator, 0002 = 2, meaning you can use the number field here.
Everyone loves unions, somehow they overlook the outrageous power of police unions to keep terrible people in their ranks. Also Union actions against nonunion jobs are borderline criminal most of the time.

I had to diagnose an issue with said brain on a car from 1982.

Previous owners could not figure out the issue. The car's engine would rev "bounce" at idle like it had a big cam, but it didn't go away when driving, making driving not very fun. So I got the Scirocco for dirt cheap.

I realized on day that if you opened and closed the hood a couple times, the issue would fix it self, and it was very repeatable.

I realized the computer is mounted next to the hood hinge!

I got lucky and just blindly resoldering all the joints in the computer fixed it.

We later swapped that 400k mile motor setup to a modern turbo motor with a sequential gearbox, and it's a rally car now. :)

(not super important to story but the "ECU" from 1982 was a bit more modern, Jetronic as it was called was "only" roughly the size of a few old TI-82s).
I think a faculty at a Motorsports Engineering School probably knows how to maintain vintage sports cars. Just because they own the car does not mean they need to maintain it.

This is also a humor article.
Beyond 30yr the people driving them are doing it for fun and aren't going to generally be running bald tires down the highway in the rain and when they do they are doing it full well knowing that they have to be super careful. Basically they know what they're getting into and don't need the state to tell them why working lights are good and brake pads shouldn't make metal noises.

On a macro level, a US union is much more expensive per member than a EU union because members/companies have to front the cost of healthcare (as opposed to countries with universal healthcare).

On a micro level, traditional US unions have huge pension funds that they have won from employers and promised to existing members, and so they can be very restrictive on membership qualifications.
I read your first sentence and was about to regale you with the reliability stories of my 2009 BMW 335i, but I see you have that covered in your second sentence. I mercifully sold that car just a few weeks ago and it's like having a weight off my back not seeing it in the driveway every day.
If you want to work in a simulation, the Nand to Tetris course, in which you build a computer out of single NAND logic gates in a stack of layers is the way to go, as others have said. [1]

If you want to work with real things in your hands, the cheap and easy way these days is to get an Arduino[2] (5 Volt I/O, and a bit slower) or Raspberry Pi Pico (3.3 Volt I/O, and quicker) and build something.

The Raspberry Pi Pico is a machine that has 2 cores, a lot of IO and a hugely powerful I/O engine called the PIO, which is fast enough to output video (VGA or DVI/HDMI) or almost anything else you need done.

Sure; I’m just expressing mine. The “glyphs and how to display or sort them wars” aren’t important enough to me to take real offense to alternatives. This is just idle discourse for me.

Lindy Effect type thoughts, why import another dependency; familiarity, existing portability, and habits with current formats; deep and wide tooling and language support… road built; let’s drive to shovel poetic drivel out the door.

This is a point I wish more people would understand. There are logical fallacies that always make for a bad argument and logical fallacies that are reasonable but not logical proofs.

For example correlation causation is one that needs to be treated with care, but correlation is often investigated further by scientists to find causation. It does not prove it exists, but it does indicate an area fruitful to research further.

But the texas sharp shooter fallacy and cherry picking data does not make for a good argument nor serve as a useful indicator of where one might dig for further information.
I will admit wondering whether Justice Thomas was actually looking at Perl code was part of the reason why I clicked on this.

I suppose it depends on what you mean by racism. Interpersonal racism seems to fly under dogwhistles moreso than outright statements now that it's socially unacceptable (in most places), where e.g. casual racism against Romania people is still pretty common in Europe. Judging from economic outcomes, though, I'd say the US is still pretty racist, even if being individually racist is mostly condemned (though I think it's fair to say from the Trump presidency that there was still quite a lot just bubbling under the surface).
When I first wrote WAGI, I just wanted to show people that WebAssembly could be run efficiently on the server. Basically, like you were saying, I wanted something to demo to people and say, "Look, Wasm can do a lot more than crypto-mine in a browser tab!"

Now with Spin we are able to go beyond those first assumptions made with Wagi and explore exactly how far we can push it. It has been so much fun to explore how to have a Wasm module handle Redis events, or try out Python on Wasm for the very first time, or build a little CMS in Wasm... it feels like the early days of Docker all over again!
Dictionaries define us: Margaret Boyle and Ilan Stavans in conversation
>> Having investigated posits by running RTL implementations through synthesis on 7 and 28 nm nodes...

Is it possible to implement 32 and 64 bit posits in similar area to floating point? Can the calculations be had in the same number of cycles or fewer?

I feel like these are the two most important questions. If the answers are yes, then I think it may be worth doing implementations for the increased precision and simplicity (lack on NaN and other IEEE quirks).
Charitable donations and the infrastructure supporting them
I normally scp the db files down to my machine and use Table Plus locally.

Works well if you are not trying to watch real time processes as they write to the db.
Not only is your last paragraph incredibly elitist, but any labor is skilled labor. The difference is degree of skill.

A union does not prevent you from leaving your job for another employer. Why would you think that?
Being able to map any menu item for any app in the Keyboard pref pane, Shortcuts tab by typing the exact label (case sensitive) is crazy.

You don't even have to have a third party app to snap left||right or maximise via the keyboard, as these are available (behind Option either in the menu or when hovering over the traffic lights, but once you bind them they're always there, example is my bindings):

Ctrl+Option+Return: Zoom
Ctrl+Option+Left: Move Window to Left of Screen
Ctrl+Option+Right: Move Window to Right of Screen

And for multihead users there's "Move to <display name>".

Again in Keyboard pref pane, Shortcuts tab, under Mission Control there's also Switch to Desktop 1-N keyboard shortcuts but you first have to create as many virtual desktops (a.k.a Spaces) as you want to have all the shortcuts show up. Make sure to disable "Automatically rearrange Spaces based on most recent use" under Mission Control pref pane to keep them predictable. Since the total count is spread across display heads, I create 5 on my left screen and 5 on my right one. I also disable "When switching to an application, switch to a Space with windows open for that application", otherwise clicking on a Dock icon jumps me to another Space when I just want to have the app activated. As a i3 user on Linux (which of course is in another league) this brings macOS kind of close enough in behaviour to not be too jarring for me when I jump from one to the other.

Another one of my favourites is Paste and Match Style, which is absolute genius.
We've heard the same thing about Obama's appointments, Bush, and Clinton before him. The sky is always falling, but in reality the courts have been surprisingly stable and politically neutral -- a testament to the United States' governing principle of judicial independence.
Strange and I think other expressed it :

- IBM PC and apple pc are assembler if not basic

- So is the Ibm 360 which even to this day you have to use assembler macro etc

- mac is Pascal.

And one can say Mac OS is on c but objective c is not just c. It is c based but really not c all the way down.

- many embedded system …

Outside this … Application wise …

- Java and even javascript is not c, so is html and css plus well cobol and fortran !

In fact one can do a lot without touching let alone learning c in his /her professional jobs. I suspect if just know c … cf just know x where x = ? Would be an interesting question.
> That was written in 2020.

And...it was confused, muddled, and largely inaccurate then.

> Now, as Democrats fear a red wave in 2022, it seems they want to distance themselves from the ideas they embraced just two years ago,

Even if the articles description of the use of “woke” as an encapsulation of leftism were correct, you would be making the common mistake of associating the center-right Democratic Party with leftism. Within the left, there is debate over whether supporting the Democrats is acceptable or counterproductive, and the Democratic Party itself is generally anti-leftist and pro-corporate-capitalist, though arguably not as strongly soa s the Republicans (arguably, OTOH, more strongly so, as the Republicans culture war positions compromise the advancement of corporate capitalism.)

> Before right-wing criticism of these ideas became overpowering, they were all widely embraced by the left.

The original meaning of both terms is still widely embraced on the left, even after they’ve becoming meaningless epithets in the mouths of Republicans. They’ve never been embraced by Democrats as a whole, and the Republican use of term (which generally is not attached to anything vaguely resembling a criticism) doesn't even refer to the same thing that people using the terms positively refer to with the term.
That's the thing. People often don't know the contents of these tweets, so we don't even know whether the accused actually said anything, let alone something that violated a law.

However, we are told that what was said was, "The spokesman said the tweet, which included Rashford's username, saw Price swear, use a racist slur and claim that his 'dead nan could have scored that.'"
A more standard way is to use `auth_request`, which passes every incoming request to some auth server to get a yes/no response. And this service can be as simple or complicated as you'd like.
You'd be mistaken to think I'm some staunch anti-union person - I think it's great that these warehouse workers unionized! I think the benefits far outweigh the cons for them.

Difference between them and myself is, we work completely different jobs, in completely different markets, with completely different incentives.
This is exactly why we need free speech. It's a pragmatic position. Of course I would like to live in a world where people don't spew vitriol. But for the reasons you outline that cannot happen except in an authoritarian society.

As an illustrative point both Russia and China have constitutionally protected freedom of speech. They just added enough caveats that it's worthless.
Are wheels useful without roads?
I think this guy's bona-fides are pretty solid, though:

> Norman Garrett was the Concept Engineer for the original Miata back in his days at Mazda’s Southern California Design Studio. He currently teaches automotive engineering classes at UNC-C’s Motorsports Engineering Department in Charlotte, North Carolina and curates his small collection of dysfunctional automobiles and motorcycles.

I imagine some of this was written tongue-in-cheek: the problems are probably not as bad as described, and/or the problems are things that have been wrong with the car at some point, but have mostly been fixed, and he's writing about it as if all the problems exist at once for entertainment value.

Or it's all true as it is, and that's just life, because people don't always have 100 spare hours to fix all the problems present on a car of that age. Maybe you do (how lucky for you!), but it's a bit uncharitable to throw shade at someone else.
The Tcl dev team uses it as well. They seem to like it.
It's a matter of near totally shutting down their operations in NYC or not, a place where Amazon is currently the largest retailer. They might be able to stop gap it by sending all their packages in NYC through UPS/USPS, but it would be a major disruption to their operations.
Is there a reason for using pure functional programming except as an exercise?

Functional programming is great, and most languages nowadays give you the necessary tools like lambdas, closures, list processing, first class functions, etc... but it isn't the right tool for every job. The same languages also typically support object oriented programming with classes, methods, inheritance, encapsulation, etc... Declarative programming is usually not supported by the "main" language but there is often some way to use a secondary language for that, like SQL.

Multiparadigm languages are here for a reason, and trying to use a paradigm that doesn't fit only makes your life harder. It is not a bad thing if you are learning or doing research on the subject, but it is a bad thing if you are trying to be productive.

Write software to make cells grow in custom made robots! We're a 100 person startup, we build our own hardware in our own lab and we're hiring for several roles to help keep the cells, robots, and customers happy.

If there’s one thing that’s important to know about Culture it’s that we have a good culture.

For example:

* We value kindness and empathy over intellect and strong opinions.

* We don’t use the word “resource” to refer to people.

* Imagine a typical bro-y startup… now imagine the opposite… that’s us.

And I think it’s because of these things that we ship great software and have fun doing it. We’re looking for folks who have a similar perspective.

Open Roles (that I'm recruiting for):

* Full Stack Engineer - Deliver products to make customers and cells happy

> Its only competitor is the LG UltraFine, which is not much cheaper and lacks other features. If you want a 5K retina display the Studio Display is the best choice.

At this price range.

The XDR is a credible competitor to the Studio Display and if you read reviews from people who have adopted it for their primary development workstations, they are holding on to those as well.

The XDR Pro Display, like the Blackmagic eGPUs of yore is wildly underrated in describing its value to developers.

The display, it's fantastic $1000 stand, and the Blackmagic products (that greatly enhance performance of Intel-based macs) are completely buried under hair pulling around sticker price.

Have you worked somewhere (big enough to no longer support a flat hierarchy) where there were no office politics or social games? I don't think unions are the cause of that.
Yes it is. I think the author was supposing that the phone system will listen for DTMF tones only at that specific moment. But in fact in most cases those tones (at least nowadays) are detected at any time in the call (and of course ignored, if there's no reason to make use of them like in an automated call system menu).

>"shipping both ways is 100% not free in Canada."

I do not buy "junk" just what I really need (mostly for business), so do not have this problem. I buy some things locally as well but it is not my goal to favor either.

>"Highly recommend getting rid of prime"

I am very service averse person and am trying to use as little as possible. My phone for example does not even have data plan. If I do use some however (Amazon in this case) it means I need it as it saves me money / time whatever.
