German is an English word that English speakers use to describe Germans. It doesn't have any etymological relationship with the word that Germans use to describe themselves.

Latino and Latina are Spanish words that American English speakers have adopted in the last ~80 years due to the significant intermingling of Spanish and English speakers. Their use spans a spectrum of Spanish-only speakers, bilingual speakers, and English-only speakers. Not only does the English word "Latino" (my eyes roll typing that) have an etymological relationship with the Spanish word "Latino", their etymologies haven't even diverged. English speakers who took a Spanish class in high school even pronounce Latino in the Spanish way, "lah-TEE-noh" instead of "luh-TEE-no", because they think of it as a Spanish word.
Isn’t 40% still an overrepresentation? I’m actually with you that ESG hiring isn’t all that useful but you’re acting like 40% isn’t more than healthy domination of one of the most powerful business sectors in the world.
to anyone interested, i would recommend Benedict Anderson's book "Imagined Communities" which analyzes this subject and other related history involving the printing press and the development of the nation-state
You can probably detect it under some circumstances at runtime if you are willing to use an ensemble. The more models you use the harder it gets to compromise all.
> Affordable housing is and will always be a horrible idea.

This is like saying food banks are a horrible idea, and we should just focus on job growth so everyone can afford to buy their own food. It comes across as really tone deaf to ignore that some people need help now and that even though it isn’t a complete solution, feeding one person today or getting one person off the street into newly constructed affordable housing makes a real difference to them.
Sure the concept has been around, but not widely implemented. I participated in a WiGig laptop dock PoC a few years ago - it wasn’t great. Usually throwing more bandwidth at stuff helps.
I dont think this makes much sense. Where would you be serving media from?
"This repository is currently disabled due to a DMCA takedown _notice_."

DMCA requests are absolutely broken
Not cutting edge, but there are various deep learning upscaling tools for individual photos on GitHub. You could unpack a video into audio streams and individual frames with ffmpeg on a GPU cloud instance, upscale all the individual frames, and then repack it with ffmpeg.

I can’t speak to the decisions on the parts of whoever is building the frameworks. But I will say the dev experience working on a frontend app using React, Vue, etc. is substantially greater than using something like Django templates. And I say that as someone who has written a great deal of both.

I really wish I could be as productive in Django templates as I am with React, but alas.
Once you go to component based UI development it is hard to go back. Especially when you get used to the high quality UI libraries.
These kinds of lists are also extremely silly because they're quickly worked around and new words are created for the same concepts. E.g. sex -> segs or titty -> tiddie.

It's like trying to catch water with a strainer.

Hey Vivek,

I have received fake DMCA requests from WorthIT Solutions, Pakistan that you guys seems to have hired. It is sent for a simple blog entry discussing about programming algorithm!

I recommend training them or replacing them.
> Reads like a 80s cartoon stereotype.

Yeah, that's the point. The words are supposed to be gender stereotypes, and they are in fact taken from literature circa ~90s-00s (not the 80s but we all know the stereotypes were still prevalent then). It's not supposed to be insulting, these are presented in an academic context with extensive references to the prevailing literature.
Difference with trading though is someone is a great trader at one hedge fund they can jump ship pretty easy without hurdles. In fact they compete to get good traders.

For Software Engineering you have to jump through hurdles each time even if you have accomplished a lot at past jobs. I might be wrong but it feels like there are far more Software Engineers compared to jobs than 10 or 20 years ago.

Granted not all software jobs as the last one I got I just had to interview a CEO and show my portfolio. Seems like the algo challenges are really geared toward Silicon Valley but not it's ending up a lot of tech jobs.
I've got to say, I love how responsive you are. Its clear you want to make your product better, it's really great.
False alarm. I think it's a font rendering problem on Safari. When I tried Chrome and Firefox it didn't appear. For example, under "External Types" at https://www.w3.org/TR/wasm-core-2/syntax/types.html#external... you see this grammar rule:

externtype ::= func functype | table tabletype | mem memtype | global globaltype

On Safari, the tokens fun, table, men, and global render with weird font baselines on some letters: c, o, e and a are raised a few points higher than they should be. I just figured these were odd substitutions for ASCII characters from further in the Unicode alphabet, maybe to avoid collisions with other reserved token names or something (vamping here because it was all I could think of). Sorry about that.
A man rethinking the definition of reality
I suspect they mean “what if someone attacks the nuclear plants in southern Ontario”.

Which, I don’t exactly know Canada-US defense agreements, but given we share assets like NORAD—I assume an attack on southern Ontario would be tantamount to declaring war on the US, which would probably go poorly for everyone.

EDIT: Oh, strike that, they literally mean Canada attacking the US, which is the stupidest idea I’ve heard in a while.
I don't remember all the details, but one time at "a very large US Bank", a surveillance contractor saw "@largebank.com" email addresses in the public archives of an apache listserv and issued some type of takedown.

Apache responded by blocking all access from the bank's IPs including mirrors/other critical stuff...oops!
I believe they would "donate" the money, but that's only if they can get a signed agreement not to be countersued.
It is clear, do not store any critical code on Github, Backups need to be made elsewhere.
I'm sorry. I should have clarified and I can't edit my original comment now. I meant plagiarized problem statements. Usually these sites have the entire problem statements from our website along with the solution (aka code snippets to solve.)
The customize interface built into Emacs already provides this. Though it supports customizing far more things, so it might be overwhelming. Maybe a new user customization group would be good.

> unless the video were authenticated by at least one reputable news source

You pretend as if the news actually bothers to corroborate everything it prints. Sometimes, they actively disengage from corroboration or critical thinking, particularly when it's favorable to their party or unfavorable to their party (ALL news sources are biased).

The news is also entirely corruptible. They already have been for some time.

If the incentives are there for the owners of the media to craft a fiction, or to support a fictional or exaggerated narrative, they will do it.

But even if some imaginary world existed where the media was actually incorruptible, suppose they got duped and ran a deep fake video as if it were real news. Human psychology is such that the video could still take root in the popular imagination and influence real world outcomes as a result. Even after being demonstrated of a video's inauthenticity.

I'm deeply worried that we don't have the proper psychological immune systems to weed out deeply fake audiovisual productions and prevent them from influencing our decision making or perception of reality.
I had thought the use of "Latino/Latina" was a clumsy (and very recent) substitute for "Hispanic", but so that it would also include Brazilians.

As far as (2) is concerned there is only one solution

1) register the copywrite of the tools you have written inhouse for hacker rank
and 2) ONLY issue DMCA claims based on your registered copywrites.

The questions and peoples answers to them are not something you should EVER have even considered issuing takedown notices for.

Is 40% a problem that needs correcting with overt, forced discrimination? Especially when the actual issue, that of the pipeline, is totally ignored when these hiring policies are dictated by activists and the investor class?

And of course no one is complaining about the far greater overrepresentation of Asians. Unless it's politically expedient to claim that they're "white adjacent".

There's no justification for any of this. Its pure, petty racism. We have regressed as a society.
The cost of the fan is dwarfed by labor, and you’re not getting a fan you want to live with for $20. Also, at least in California, you have to hook it to a janky humidity sensing switch that costs more than $20.
so clueless lol. missing the entire point
100% wouldn't be an overrepresentation if that is the percent that is most qualified for the positions. The NBA isn't diversity hiring for their players. There's an obvious reason for that. The consequences of diversity hiring are going to catch up to us eventually, assuming they haven't already.
Anyone with half a brain cell knew that would happen, and said that would happen, because blue voters were more concerned about the pandemic and therefore were more likely to cast a mail-in ballot.

You don't need copyleft licenses to have free software. There is plenty of code that is written that is not a key differentiator, that people will still open source.

Parent mentions Goldman Sachs; their trading platform is not something they want to sell, nor want to give away. Their build system, their UI component library, their numeric libraries, etc, could all be things they don't feel give them a material advantage over their competitors, and so it makes sense to open source ('many eyes make any bug shallow' style of thing).

These libraries don't need to be copyleft. If someone else wants to extend them and turn them into their secret sauce, who cares? They lose the benefit of it being open source (those many eyes), but if keeping their modifications closed enables a business model that people want to pay them for, they're generating value. And that's something that copyleft -wouldn't- allow, but a permissive open source license (such as MIT) would.
Not a coincidence:

> The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) established the Plowshare Program in June 1957 to explore the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. The program took its name from the Bible (Isaiah 2:4), "they will beat their swords into plowshares."

That article doesn't actually have enough data to really know. The anecdotes are all just design assist, make things faster from 20 mins to 3 seconds. Not singularity. There are teasers but nothing clear singularity. I think the big problem is they are just using it for fuzzy algorithm optimization, which is clearly not self learning.
To add, the non tech crowd doesn't really know or have the time to learn about investing. They just need someone to manage their finances. The advisory profession is alive mostly because of this. Instead of acting as a lead gen to advisors, perhaps you could add more value by doing some sort of filtering or match making based on user's data, totally at the discretion of the investor/user. This will be incredibly helpful. You could become some sort of a scaled arbitrage between investors and advisors - a huge gap that exists today.
I have done nothing but backend for a decade. Docker's been around for the past 6 years and still going strong.

Database? Postgres, always. You have to bend it so far until it breaks it's not even funny. If you need something else, you'll now.

Backend lang? Python. Framework? Django. Need data munging? NumPy/SciPy/Pandas/PySpark. Need a really high speed component? C will do, Rust if you feel fancy.

OS? Ubuntu, or Debian. They'll do well. Again, you need to have really, really good reasons to use anything else.

Of course there's alternatives! But there is absolutely no reason to move away from this stack. For some reason frontend developers seem to be either on a constant treadmill of moving technologies, or being stuck with subpar old tech with clear deficiencies.
I’d argue that logic is a subfield of computability theory, and so by extension we (in CS) absorb math.
Yeah I didn't get the point of that either. If you rearrange and solve for a different variable, for practical purposes outside of pure math(If you are thinking like a coder), you have a completely new equation that happens to be derivable. It's almost like compiling.

But since mathematicians absolutely love finding common patterns in things, maybe there's some new innovation that a representation with uniqueness would enable?
Small nuclear reactors aren't great - people are only proposing them because there's so much disdain for the normal PWRs that have been in operation successfully for decades. Reactors scale better with size: A pressure vessel's cost largely scales with surface area but its power capacity scales with volume. China is building large PWRs just fine, with nuclear output nearly quadrupling in the last decade: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_China

There is no good evidence of this. Also, Keller is viewed as fringe, I believe.

I’m sure Cadence, Synopsys, and Mentor would love to hear more about this.
"Microsoft next will be removing the SMB1 binaries, and that both Windows and Windows Server will no longer include the drivers and DLLs of SMB1. Microsoft will provide an out-of-band, unsupported install package for users that still need to connect to old factory machinery, medical gear, consumer NAS and other equipment that still requires SMB1, however."

It's good for security, but bad for backward compatibility.
I think they mean the government providing a taxpayer-funded service letting citizens bring private lawsuits instead of going through the regular channels for addressing errors if deviations from curricula occur because for some reason those channels (which are also government-defined) are inadequate, yet cannot be improved.

We'd best not pull the thread on why they can't be improved.
Most, if not all, of the problem statements won't even qualify for copywrite, they are generic problems that people have been stating for decades or more and as such are extreamly unlikly to be unique or original to hackerrank.

I am sure however you have already assesed this and applied for the appropriate registration for these works that you are claiming to own the copywrite to? right?
Reckon you must be right and they're not concerned about tracking. Other that or stupidity.

It could also be deliberate brazen bravado and done to prove a point.

I wonder if the tracking info was actually useful to the Ukrainians.
Haha wow. What hurts my soul the most is that there is no penalty, legal, financial or reputational, for this kind of bogus behaviour, like how Sony's YT bots keep claiming ownership of any performance or recording of a piece of classical music because they hold copyright over one particular recording of that piece.

The fact that there isn't any downside just shows what poor legislation the DMCA is.

If you told me that the DMCA was written entirely by the music copyright industry and handed to compliant congress members to rubber stamp, I'm likely to believe you.
The hardest thing to wrap my head around in Windows is how perfectly normal and common to load new code into existing processes. There are well-known APIs to do it.
What is extremely telling is what is missing ... Design Rule Checking (DRC) and Layout Vs Schematic (LVS).

These require:

1) Longer bit length arithmetic

32-bit float simply isn't enough. 64-bit float is close, but limited. You really want 128-bit integer. And nVidia isn't delivering that.

2) Real algorithmic improvements

We're still stuck with computational geometry algorithms that don't parallelize. It would be awfully useful if nVidia would actually research some new algorithms instead of just waving around the ML/AI marketing wand.

But, then, this is the company that built itself on benchmarketing, so ...

the problem is that the type of advisors you are talking about only care about selling products and making commissions, they actually don't care about helping people make the right decisions.

the same goes for CPAs - the moment they see that your tax situation becomes too complicated or a potential liability or they can't make a good profit (read: cookie cutter tax situation which can be handled by fresh grads but can be invoiced at partner rate) they tell you to go elsewhere.
> Absolutely unacceptable and should never be allowed to happen again.

Except our constitution essentially codifies it as a founding principal. That is, after all, how we started.

> It's quite literally the symbols doing some of the thinking for you, specifically the symbols are doing the computing or calculating part of thinking.

I was feeling bad earlier this week when thinking about taking the derivative of x^3. I, of course, didn't derive the answer geometrically. I did what most everyone does, I imagined the "3" symbol floating down and being replaced by n-1.

But there is no reason to feel bad! I was outsourcing the computation to the symbols. The notation is good enough that some easily-remembered symbolic rules are just as good as (or actually equivalent to) the real computation.
