Yes? If you're going to a place where freedom of expression is a primary value, then you should not be surprised by any kind of expression, from cheerful agreement to hateful bile. I agree being rude is well... rude, but people should be free to choose for themselves what rudeness (and directed at whom) they approve of, don't you think?

As to why people would want to participate, I suspect it's for the usual reasons: to accomplish a goal, or to gain influence and social status.

Edit: Surely you agree that sometimes rudeness is warranted, and that people in fact are rude on Twitter?

Knowing that true things are obviously true is easy. The difference between naive and professional mathematician is the ability to be precise enough to avoid knowing that false things are "obviously true".

It lacks the branding of something like Rust, which it self tried to piggy back on Go years ago, until it got traction.

C++, for better or worse continues to be a safe choice. A reasonably large user base, and it will be around for a long time. My co-worker joked that if you want your software to be able to run in the future, pick Windows and C++ as your platform. Then you’ll be good for a few decades.
> unless your contention is that Trump was leading the Oath Keepers

The Oath Keepers and Proud Boys (charged with conspiracy as well in the attack, and in direct coordination with each other) are part of a network that connected to the fairly well documented effort by the Trump inner circle to enact a plan to subvert the vote count and either avoid the counting of or replace the lawful votes from certain states through channels including Roger Stone.

The main mechanism sought to be used was discussed publicly in the media prior to the attack, which sought to forcibly implement it when Mike Pence indicated he wouldn't go along with it voluntarily, by disrupting/delaying the count, removing Pence from the presiding role (“Hang Mike Pence”), and using intimidation to ensure that whatever officer replaced Pence would play ball.

> But that said it still seems like a real stretch to me to say that the US federal government was so weak that there was ever a serious risk of 10 idiots overthrowing it and installing their guy

An autocoup attempt by the sitting President, other high executive branch officials, members of Congress, at least two different organized violent groups, and thousands of followers mobilized by social media for violent attack on the Capital isn't just “10 idiots”.

> as well as a small group of yokels that didn't even know what to do when they got into the capital building so started walking around taking pictures like tourists.

That largely occurred after the evacuation of members, which itself was not complete when people broke into the Capitol; there was a concerted effort to reach the chambers where the joint session was being held, the Speakers office, and other areas where members and other high-value targets were likely to be initially.

I’m not sure if your minimizing misrepresentation is deliberate or just a result of effective propagandization.
Same is true if God existed :)

I remember using Slack, feeling fed up with emails, until I realized that if I wanted to sync Slack messages offline and have a standard way to view these messages that I was SOL. I am so glad that I've returned to email and optimized my workflow to use email effectively and efficiently. The best part is no more vendor lock-in.

That's because of reuse, as kerosene burns slightly sooty, which can be cleaned but takes maintainance, whereas methane burns clean. You wouldn't use methane for a single use engine unless you were buying off the shelf like Vulcan IMO, since its harder to use and doesn't perform better.

You may want to remember the moment when the King of Spain successfully preserved the democracy of the country by shutting down a military coup just 40 years ago.

"[...]the King of Spain appeared live on television, wearing the uniform of the Captain General of the Armed Forces (Capitán General de los Ejércitos), the highest Spanish military rank, to oppose the coup and its instigators, defend the Spanish Constitution and disavow the authority of Milans del Bosch. He declared: I address the Spanish people with brevity and concision: In the face of these exceptional circumstances, I ask for your serenity and trust, and I hereby inform you that I have given the Captains General of the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force the following order: Given the events taking place in the Palace of Congress, and to avoid any possible confusion, I hereby confirm that I have ordered the Civil Authorities and the Joint Chiefs of Staff to take any and all necessary measures to uphold constitutional order within the limits of the law. Should any measure of a military nature need to be taken, it must be approved by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The Crown, symbol of the permanence and unity of the nation, will not tolerate, in any degree whatsoever, the actions or behavior of anyone attempting, through use of force, to interrupt the democratic process of the Constitution, which the Spanish People approved by vote in referendum. From that moment on, the coup was understood to be a failure[...]"

Monarchs still have the same function they always had. The represent a direct connection between the nation and the people, and in times of crisis they can stabilize the nation or put an end to political brinkmanship, even if they only hold symbolic functions.

This is more like how I first assumed 3D printing worked, before I knew better. (Then again, when I was young I assumed all four wheels on a car were powered).

Anyone know more about how those nano capsules work to prevent curing before the focal point?

In 3D printing, resin hardens in a flat and straight line along the path of the light. Here, the researchers use nano capsules to add chemicals so that it only reacts to a certain kind of light—a blue light at the focal point of the laser that's created by the upconversion process.
That seems like a pessimistic, cynical take on life...
Well, not the way they format it.

One downside to implicit constexpr is its harder to know when an API intends it as a user and harder to enforce it works as an author. Seems like it could be easy to break compatibility.
Most analyzing of face ID feature happened when it first came out before covid, so a lot of security claims are probably not fully accurate anymore (or at least are deserving of a re-evaluation)

I have little basis for this assumption, but I imagine apple would compromise a bit of security to keep the feature people payed for working and just chop off half the face.

Now what you really want to be doing is printing QR code masks to make up for the missing half of the face! /s
Oh man, i know how that is.

I’m getting back into mountain biking after my surgery, and after an hour or two into my latest ride, if found myself spacing out a lot and letting that chatter take over. Not paying attention during a slow, straight ride I caught my wheel on a root and fell forward over the bike, not fun. I found it much easier to slip into that state while I was exhausted though.

I feel exactly the same as you describe, unless im trying to stay focused, taking in something new every once in a while or making choices, I tend to space out completely.
Thanks for pointing that out. I'll consider it. I have to try if the my bank web site works good enough in a browser.
1 in 5 Video Conference Calls Bad, 40% of Participants Disengaged
The hate he gets is mostly because he's bad at being a CEO. He is a classical robber baron from the turn of the 20th century. His products are poorly made, he churns out vaporware like nobody else, he doesn't seem bothered by lying, he ignores the laws that bind someone in his position, and no one holds him to account because if a journalist asks him a question he doesn't like he blacklists their organization.

His companies are badly run because he prioritizes his own ego over learning the domains he is working in. He risked worker safety because he doesn't like the color yellow. He doesn't care about the people who work for him: the California Sheriff's office had to lock his factory doors when covid was rampaging. He exploits nerd-joy to avoid having to provide safe, supportive, constructive environments that actually produce good software.

If more people were like him, the world would be a worse place for all the rest of us.

I don't believe any of that is "conservative". Aside from his drug use & exploitation of workers, I'm not sure what of it is "libertarian". And "progressive"?
That doesn't explain the rampant, popular pessimism on social media platforms like twitter and reddit.

Not so. Page breaks can still be rendered or marked anyways, and so can page numbers. And yeah, you're not going to see a whole "page" in one screenful, but so what?
It's a quirky nod to the fact that all the digits were 2 on that day in this format.
Oh wow, I remember this for sure. What a throw back. What was it called?
Companies are hyper focused on growth because growth is priced in to their valuation, either by VCs or the public market. Nobody wants to plunk their money into something that won’t give them a return, and non-growth businesses have to pay investors in things like dividends or royalties to keep their market value.

In terms of fiduciary responsibility, here’s something I found: https://www.upcounsel.com/board-of-directors-fiduciary-duty

I believe you can be sued for breach of this, and can certainly lose your board seat. I would guess it will devalue the company if a breach were to occur.
Ah yeah, that's interesting. I was looking at the actual recognition code in howdy (basically leans on dlib's face detection), which doesn't seem to have any "3D" checker built in, but if it is just based on differential illumination, maybe it won't be so hard to simply make sure there are sufficient differences in the odd/even frames to distinguish a face as 3D.

I suppose it could be weak to a "mask" attack, but you could add something like drishti to make sure you can real eyes in addition to a face.

Note, even 3D sensors like Apple's FaceID can be broken with sufficient effort: https://www.wired.com/story/hackers-say-broke-face-id-securi...

Multi-spectral processing might help in that case, but honestly, if this sort of attack is a real security threat, then you probably shouldn't be running biometric logins in the first place (and you should probably actually be using MFA).
Original comment was “this is nothing like that”

I’m pointing out how this is like that.
You tried to frame things as if I said I supported the status quo. I never said such a thing. You are arguing with a straw man you built.
Depending on the subject, people's natural state is optimism even if they think they are being realistic. [1] and [2] have a bunch of interesting references on this matter

Appearing smart to dumb people isn't hard, so it doesn't count as a negative about pessimism :)

I won't make a judgement about it being usually right, but being pessimistic can be a tool to counteract the standard optimistic stance if you know people are usually optimistic (aka their expectations overshoot reality) on the subject

Colleges have varying levels of stats classes for different majors, and not all of them require rigorous understandings of calculus. The ideas and principles presented in those classes are still important for people to learn, even if they are unfamiliar with, or haven't mastered, calculus. It's possible to teach those principles in high school, as well.

I love this.

On a similar note, I have a friend who majored in math at Harvard. He once told me that he came into Harvard being arrogant because in high school he was always at the top of his class in math. He enrolls in his first college level math course thinking he's got this, but he soon realizes that "higher math", which is largely proof-based, is a completely different subject than what he learned in high school. A month in he bombs the first exam. He went to the professor, who is originally from Italy, and explained his situation and how he was a star in high school. He responds in a thick Italian accent "that was not math, that was computation. In this course I teach math".

The math you typically learn in high school is very important, but I wish that we did a better job of explaining to high school students that what they are learning is completely different from what "real mathematicians" study (although I do think that computation is quite important in engineering, for example).
How is it directing more resources to allow students to take courses at their level? It's not like you have to pay high school math teachers a higher salary to teach calculus. Your typical public high school in California has 1,000+ students. With that many students it's not going to be hard to find 20-30 students to register for a calculus class. It's not like you're running a special private class just for a few gifted students.
Any additive 3D printer can do variable layer thickness. It just needs the software to adjust the amount of plastic fed to the print head, according to how thick the layer should be, and lower the bed less for thinner layers.

Layers that vary in thickness are trickier. It seems like any additive printer should be able to do them given slightly smarter software and a pointy nozzle, but controlling temperature in a pointy nozzle at varying flow rate is not simple. The heating element is far away from the pointy end, and heat arrives at the tip both by conduction in the metal and also by physical motion of the melted filament medium. You need to vary the current to the heater so that the tip stays at the right temperature at all the different filament flow rates.

Changes to the current have to happen well ahead so the right amount of heat actually reaches the tip, by the two routes, sometime later. You are also changing the feed rate of the filament, so it is carrying heat down at varying speed. The point is cooling by radiation and convection, the latter which varies by how fast the tip is moving, and the ambient temperature.
In talking to my team, my advice has been "whenever it will be useful", which is of course a bit glib but I don't think we want hard and fast rules.

It's going to be more true of things that are harder to change, more true of things that touch more places in the code, more true when decisions are higher risk, more true when reasoning is less obvious.

I also think we should err on the side of writing too many ADRs, and writing ADRs that are too lightweight. There's some implicit pressure that if we're writing down our reasoning we'd better make sure it's good reasoning, but it's simultaneously true that some decisions don't deserve a lot of deliberation and when a decision didn't get a lot of deliberation we would like to know that down the line. If we capture some number of ADRs that say "decided XYZ because shrug", then down the line when we're inevitably bit by some bad decisions, we can look at whether those were disproportionately the ADRs that got less thought.

Programming is not tied to geography unless you are dealing with physical equipment (you probably don't want three grocery store self checkout machines in your living room) or have any sort of security requirements for the project.
in my experience, the main pain point people experience is:

a) they don't like Ruby for whatever reason,
b) they probably only deal in backend or only deal in frontend, and so don't understand the value of the bundled dev experience rails delivers, and therefore
c) because of a + b they find the moderate learning curve to be extra painful, so they lash out.

at the end of the day it's all just code. why would it be harder to integrate a service in Rails than in Go? of course it isn't.
How many shares needed to go private with Twitter?
Before acquiring Twitter, Elon Musk said: "The intent is to retain as many shareholders as allowed by the law for a private company, which I think is around 2,000 or so. We’ll try to bring along as many shareholders as we’re allowed to."

How could we best estimate what number of shares one would need to be held to be in the top 2000 shareholders of Twitter? Could we assume a normal distribution of share ownership?

According to Yahoo finance, there are 799M shares outstanding. According to CNN, the top institutional shareholders are as follows:

The Vanguard Group, Inc (82,403,665 shares)
Morgan Stanley Investment (64,722,431 shares)
BlackRock Fund Advisors (36,536,143 shares)
SSgA Funds (36,363,324 shares)
Aristotle Capital (20,112,134 shares)
Fidelity Management (17,112,059 shares)
Clearbridge Investments (16,733,505 shares)
Geode Capital Management (14,314,021 shares)
Nikko Asset Management (12,467,698 shares)
Nikko Asset Management Americas (10,297,193 shares)
More data here: https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/twtr/institutional-holdings

And then of course, you have the individual shareholders like Jack Dorsey who owns ~18,000,000 shares.

tl;dr What is your best method for estimation and estimate for the number of shares required to be in the top 2000 shareholders of Twitter?

Just my opinion but... is Calculus an important high school goal? I took AP Calc in high school, got a 4 on the exam. I did Electrical Engineering in college and took college level math through differential equations. And yet... a) I've never used calculus once in my STEM career, b) looking back I realize I never really understood calculus back when I was in high school and college.

I came to that realization a decade after college when I was digesting 3Blue1Brown's series on Calculus for fun and had it finally click. Before then I was basically a Chinese Room that was able to solve calculus problems via pattern matching (i.e. "oh, this problem fits the shape of these rules, etc.") without really understanding how calculus works.
I'm not contradicting you, it is curious what you saw, but this SQLite FAQ does claim that 50k/s inserts on a normal computer HDD is possible. Maybe there was some other resource constraint or configuration somewhere. It is very curious.

> Actually, SQLite will easily do 50,000 or more INSERT statements per second on an average desktop computer. But it will only do a few dozen transactions per second. Transaction speed is limited by the rotational speed of your disk drive. A transaction normally requires two complete rotations of the disk platter, which on a 7200RPM disk drive limits you to about 60 transactions per second.
