The tension now in mechanical watches between craftsmanship/longevity/utility and status/collect-ability is weird, and distorts the market a little.

Rolex used to be a utility watch, not a luxury watch. That's clearly changed a LOT, even to the point that I occasionally hear people say silly things about babying them (e.g., not going in the water in one, which is crazy).

Omega was less inflated when I bought my Brosnan-era "Bond" Seamaster (2531.80) back in the late 90s (and fairly so; 90s-era Seamasters have ETA movements, but Rolex is in-house, and this matters to Watch People). It was less than two grand at the time, for a crazy-robust watch I can do anything in and wear anywhere. Now the Bond thing has inflated the value of Seamasters INSANELY so they, too, are out of reach for most people.
The most successful companies I have ever worked for hired smart developers and got out of the way. The least successful company I have worked for spent a huge amount of time in meetings, planning and documenting everything, while failing in the market place against competitors that didn’t. The more structure you impose, the less competitive you are. It is OK if you are a monopoly (NASA) but if not then be careful what you wish for.
So were the B-52's, but only if you wanted to.
Do you know a way to copy the current selection in jless to the paste buffer? I find myself narrowing down a query for jq using jless but then having to manually remember the query to then jump to my terminal.
Exercism Front End Developer Job: Project (Interview Requirement)
It's a waste of effort and makes me wonder about the competence of the person who wrote it (when looking at a mangled date generally). Display dates are for humans so write the month name, then it doesn't matter what the order is.

22 Feb 22

Feb 22 22 (weird but still better)

22 22 Feb (very weird but still better)

This also goes to show that 2022 is a better choice. My own personal preference - the 22nd of February 2022.

I sometimes hack author dates just so that commits show up in the right order in the stupid Github linear view.

It doesn't always work (on a big project like Swift it would be a lost cause), but because I care a lot about presenting my work as a sequence of commits optimized for reviewability, I try.
Oh hey there! Can confirm that Storms got very very smooth over the course of a few years - it was really incredible to see it go from something that we planned on our roadmap to getting into work and realizing an entire datacenter was disconnected from the backbone while everything ran mostly smooth.

Looks like a broken interview process to me. Or if things are really this bad and companies can get so many applicants for a single job then it might be time to find a new industry fast.
I could have put this comment nearly anywhere in this thread. As a German I'm really surprised by this. Calculus was part of regular math school education and just expected knowledge for the mandatory math classes during my CS undergraduate studies. I did graduate at one of the universities that do use the first years to weed out students though and dunno if less competitive ones are more lenient.

We also do split students as early as after the 4th year (end of elementary school) in three different school systems with about 50% of students attending the highest university track tier. The other two tiers might not have calculus or only in a limited form, but also don't qualify for university without further education. Thus setting students on different paths based on ability/performance early on seems very natural to me. Students always can up/downgrade schools based on performance at any year later on.
I use jless to manually find what I'm looking for and then using the result as a starting point. Unfortunately I don't know how to get that query in to the paste buffer yet so there's a manual step in the middle
As a point of comparison, consider an idiomatic approach in the vector-oriented language K. Given a vector t:

t:199 200 208 210 200 207 240 269 260 263

The "eachprior" adverb ': captures the pattern of applying each value in a sequence to its predecessor through a verb (in this case >), giving a boolean vector:

>':t
0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1

Then take a sum reduction:

+/>':t

Seems like the same decomposition would be quite easy with beginner-level Excel, provided an extra "working" column.
What's strange though is many people are reporting there accounts are suddenly un-banned and they are allowed to post and use Twitter again.
Where did you see there was a meta freeze? I’m in the interview process right now and nothing was mentioned to me (Meta)
Carrots are remarkably sweet -- about 50% sugars by dry volume. The UK probably didn't ever need to refine sugar from them given that sugar beets also grow well there, but I wonder if they could have done so in a pinch.
Yeah, now that I think more about it, I think I was confused myself. Specifically, I think I got the math right but the example wrong (and I confused you too).

Let me try again. I think that Deutsch is saying that h is the proposition "smoker implies cancer", and e is a specific instance of a person where the hypothesis holds (either a nonsmoker or a smoker with cancer). He is talking about e being instances of h, so h must be a higher order proposition about instances.

But now h can be decomposed as we said into a logically necessary part (h|e) and a part (h|~e) that may be true or false depending upon which universe you live in. By the argument above, finding more instances of the theory should decrease our belief in the (h|~e) part. Since h|~e is the same as e->h, gathering more e should decrease our faith that the evidence validates the hypothesis.

Presumably Deutsch is saying that the logically necessary part is sort of trivial (a mere theorem) whereas (h|~e) has actual physical content, so why do we believe that the evidence increases our confidence in the physical portion of the hypothesis?

By the way, I got all this math from the unapproachable paper, which is not that unapproachable if one looks at the math alone. Like you, I am trying to figure out how this math applies to the real world.
A billion dollars a quarter. That's a pretty big loss.

I don't see that dog turning around. Trust is slow to earn and quick to lose. Google has burned enough potential customers that I can't see them gaining or keeping market share without significant subsidies. If I can get AWS or Azure for anywhere close to the same price, that's where reasonable folks will go.

To be honest, I'm surprised Google hasn't cut-and-run yet. Probably too much ego on the line.

Ideally, they should sell their customers to the highest bidder, and offer an easy transition. GCP customers would probably tip Azure to be bigger than AWS, depending on which metric you go by.
This is not how you advertise a position here (or anywhere, for that matter).

Even that is highly questionable. Try implementing hexagonal patterns with Python.. the first thing you get to read is about how that is not the pythonistic way.

Nothing against Python, it is favorable for beginners and engineers in different fields, but at the point where even Node starts outperforming Python by 10x and you actually want to implement bigger systems you might wish for something different.

I don’t see the need to specifically compare Go to either high or low level languages. It sits comfortably right between them and is perfect like that.

(This might be an opinionated comment, but I’d love to see anyone try implementing a public API with a dozen of adapters and ports in C++.)
This would be a lot more reasonable if GitHub would provide tools to review the ultimate commit message in the same manner as the commit content.
Thanks for linking it, the top comment is calling you out for the scammy behavior.
In my experience Caddy is easier to work with on small projects. Easy to setup tls and routing and lets you focus on the project itself. On more advanced and performance sensitive use cases I still prefer HAProxy.
My thought is that having | as the pipe operator in the shell means that it's okay to use | for the or operator in your query syntax as the people using your XGQ will be familiar with that usage, but to then introduce a pipe operator (which >> pretty much is) alongside using | as something that isn't a pipe is just going to fuck with your muscle memory for reading code. Especially as >> is already the right-shift operator, and so you expect the precedence for 'a | b >> c' to mean 'a | c(b)'.

The pipe operator that's in its final stages of approval for JavaScript uses '|>' as its sigil, which is a decent compromise between not conflicting with existing operators, being compatible with developers' existing pattern matching, and representing what it does somewhat. And 'a | b |> c' is ok.

You could just have '@c a | b' mean "everything from @c onwards to the end of the string is the argument to c" i.e. 'c(a | b)' and have 'c a | b' be 'c(a) | b', then anything more complicated just requires using the parentheses operator to enclose an expression i.e. 'c (a | b)' or just 'c(a | b)' if your tokenizer is a bit cleverer :) Actually I like this idea, because '@' is syntactic sugar for () around the rest of the query, and a function then operates on the value of the expression following it.
If not...then why? If TruffleRuby is such a boost to performance...
Old systems may not have been friendly, but they were never out to get you; they were merely indifferent, and your job was to make them work. Modern systems, for all their aesthetic effort, know that you are a valuable resource, and try to exploit you; your job is to keep them contained.

Increasing the eligibility and amount of the credit is helpful, but doling it out in repeated checks that you then have to go back and report on your 1040 is annoying.

Reducing that refund by paying the money out earlier and celebrating it as a free handout is awfully manipulative.

I've generally found it a bit hard to get an initial query going, but then it is as fast as anything I've thrown at it. Generally something else (probably my code) falls over before I even notice jq's impact.

You can do text search and other SQL queries in S3 data by plugging AWS Athena to it.

It isn't very scalable, though. Last time I checked it would handle few dozens of concurrent queries, at most.

But for fulltext search, what really makes sense is something like OpenSearch.
>We need heavy taxation on investment/vacation property.

This sounds like a mess. Everyone builds larger houses because you have to keep all your tax-advantaged housing under one roof? Stickplex apartments, the seemingly only affordable new housing stock, get more expensive? I'm sure the negative consequences are endless.
If you are getting analog signals into digital circuits there is quite a bit more to know. Sensor characteristics, signal conditioning and level shifiting, anti-aliasing, grounding, input protection, circuit layout, power supply effects.

Arduino For Scientific Measurement covers many of these in a straightforward, somewhat chatty way, for low frequency and DC signals. It's by a guy who has done a lot of well/bore measurement for the oil and gas industry and it is very focussed on the practice--there's no theory at all (except a very brief qualitative sketch of an ADC, IIRC).

Radio frequency is a whole other kettle of lobsters. Lots more to learn there.
A mass exodus has already begun. Mastodon has been blowing up over the past few days, I think ~600,000 accounts have been made in the last 24 hours on the main instance alone. I'm pretty excited for the future if people are this willing to go back to federated social media.

Got it. The reference is great, the only final addendum I wanted to mention was whether a neutron stars densities would stop a black hole in its tracks since the paper only talks about the black hole already having been there.

I think jq is very elegant - genius even - but whenever I use it, I have to look up the docs for syntax. But I guess that's true for any infrequently used tool.
I didn't miss any of the nuance but I suppose you may be misunderstanding me. I'm not expecting their name to be a unique identifier. I'm expecting their whole profile to be one. Whenever that changes re-verification should happen.

@willsmith is clearly not the Will Smith that slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars. He isn't claiming to be, but he could change his profile photo and all of a sudden the world would think he was the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The blue checkmark adds some validity to that claim.
Heidi from Kraftful here again. You’re right, it is possible to track all the right events and then send data to Amplitude and configure charts there. The way this is different is that we’ve already done most of that work for hardware companies. So they don’t need to figure out how to track IoT specific events. The SDK doesn’t do that automatically, but our documentation saves them time figuring out how to do it. And our dashboard is pre-configured so that IoT PMs don’t need to spend time configuring charts or figuring out which metrics matter for IoT. Amplitude also doesn’t have IoT specific benchmarks, usability recommendations, and app store review analysis. So this is just a more complete solution for everything an IoT PM needs to improve the experience in the app.
Would refining sugar from them leave enough carrots available for their other nutritional uses? I guess in a real pinch it wouldn't matter.

Even after the 1992 incident happened, the system continued to be used. I didn't live here back then, but, according to my local friends, after that, counting was automated for a couple elections and, then, it was agreed that while automation offered faster results, the manual process was more trusted by the people.

I'm glad the voting system also weeds out extremists. The problem is that, in the US, said extremists are already in power, because current voting systems don't punish extremism enough.

> There's no fundamental ontological difference between "give me your likelihood ratios between drawing cards [a and b] as the next draw from this deck of cards" and "give me your likelihood ratios between finding and not finding a continent in an unexplored part of the world".

Can you explain this claim? It seems very clearly false to me, so perhaps we're thinking about things in very different terms here. To me, the extremely obvious and fundamental difference between the two is that we have a very good explanation (to use Deutsch's favorite term for emphasis, although that terminology isn't strictly important here) for why we know the probabilities of various events in a game of cards. Of course, our explanation of why we know those probabilities does depend on some assumptions of our model, namely some things about how the cards are shuffled and dealt, but the explanation doesn't really have anything to do with modeling subjective uncertainty of a particular observer. Sure, it is probably physically possible for some observer to have more certainty, like someone just outside the room with an extremely sensitive radar, but that observer would likely be understood to be violating the rules of the game (just like any card player who cheats using more feasible methods).

To me, that's fundamentally different from invoking probability when discussing things like the existence of a specific thing in a specific unexplored part of the world, again assuming we don't have some explanation for why the existence of that thing in that place actually has a probability associated with it.
19% bump in new user registration on Tumblr yesterday
I can see the case for conservatives gaining followers (if they trust the service to treat them fairly)

I don't see the case for liberals experiencing a mass exodus of followers. Why would a follower of an account tilting liberal suddenly not want to follow the liberal account they have liked? Especially considering many who "lost" followers are somewhat miffed at the losses --so it seems that although Twitter is changing ownership these voices still see it as a valuable and useful medium whereas for the numbers to line up, the followers would have to have the opposite view from the accounts they follow. Time will tell.
Is this not fake news? Seems a little too fast and without the new twitter god claiming responsibility.

A taste of the misinformation to come.
Narcissists are created either through abuse or never having their entitlement checked. They feed on creative or empathetic people through various devices. Having fallen into a well of victimization for the past few years I definitely struggle to stay in touch with my authentic altruistic self when every day has background stress on the magnitude of Fukishima. Maybe I'm learning Karmic lessons or being prepared for a future in a way God knows I can handle, but no doubt I'm not as altruistic as I used to be. At the most primal, I don't have security in my food or shelter or ability to get a stable income due to a fabricated history of violence in the courts by a corporate lawyer--non-violent felons have far more opportunity. So while I get small blessings that keep me alive, the only way I can spare a drop of energy or money to be altruistic is if I keep the spiritual rewards of giving in mind, so I give bottles of water or buy coffee for other homeless people when I can and record YouTube videos sharing what I'm learning when I can.

Perhaps only a tangential contribution, but yea, that's my anecdote on being altruistic while under extreme stress. I keep the pathways warm when I can and it's irrational except on a spiritual level.
I just dont understand this take. I've never found any utility in the down votes. It never seemed to accurately represent anything let alone the quality of the video.

When re-running current function it passes the original arguments (it does not roll them back if changed in the function body - that will be added in the future).
Not at all ridiculous. Growing companies do this all the time. And exactly as the other poster said your experience that the company is disorganized doesn't preclude this possibility in any way.
I'm sure those services can scale but what I wonder about is if the cost of scaling will become prohibitive. If your posts per day increase by three orders of magnitude will your costs?
I don’t particularly enjoy cleaning my house but I love the aftermath.

Same with bumping versions on dependencies. If I didn’t have to do it I’d love to just get the new features in a non-breaking way. But I can’t, so I do, and it’s a chore.
Russia Is Losing a War Against Hackers
You can still be liberal and not a fan of censorship. For example, I don’t support Russia’s interference in Ukraine. However, I enjoy periodically reading RT.com which I know is biased propaganda. I read it to see the slant/arguments an entity I disagree with makes. At the same time, many are calling for the outlet to be censored. Maybe I’ll gather more perspectives, at the very least it will help me better support my own viewpoint. The heart of liberalism is the open exchange and debate of ideas.
It's disambiguated by context, like most ambiguities in language. This is the title of a blog post after all.
