MFAs certainly exist to "extract cash from the hopeful"; the linked article says as much:

> On average, these MFA programs are sending a generation of aspiring artists into debt for often zero financial return. Before MFAs, starving artists simply didn’t have any money. Now, starving artists have massive debt.

But that's not true of the other gatekeepers? Publishers make money if books sell. Ditto agents. Blurb writers work for free (in general). If they don't curate quality, they certainly think they do.
There's more than the FDIC. The government has shown over and over that it will bailout and/or nationalize financial institutions that could bring the entire system down (such as AIG). I'm not saying this system is perfect, but it's a LOT more robust and time tested than any cryptocurrency we have today.

I'm sorry, what exactly is the right response to Putin's aggression then? Just let him have Ukraine? Complete non-starter.

I'm getting really tired these doomer posts regarding the US. Yeah, the US spends a lot on military power (both hard and soft). Guess what, it's the world's hegemon and I'd rather have the US be there than China or Russia.
I don't think facts are relevant for this type of discussions ;)

Compare iverilog to VCS or xcelium, while it's brilliant, it's not even close in features or performance, and there is nothing preventing the OSS community from making it better, so the question is why? is it just a lack of people with the right mix of skills (both SW and HW is rare enough), or something else?

Synthesis, place and route are all much harder than simulation, so I don't think tools like vivado would suddenly be better if open sourced. Also I think vivado is great, but I seem to be in the minority on that one, but I guess it's my perspective as a HW designer dealing with HW tools all my life, vivado is a breath of fresh air.
> The mistaken idea that “everything should be an object” doesn’t actually simplify anything in practice. We’re lying to ourselves, and in doing so, we actually makes the life of both language implementers and programmers more complicated.

That gets to the point.

But there is a lower bound of minimalism, below which the complexity increases again; I remember the time where a few academic ergonomists spread the idea that you should have only one knob in the user interface instead of many elements; the result was that you needed many more steps for each function and the operation was anything but intuitive.

It's the same with a programming language: if it's designed too spartan, I have to write too much code that is always similar, which causes effort and obscures the real intention of the code. And if the syntax is too minimalistic, complexity is just moved to semantics or the standard library. So the art is to find the right balance, not just to omit.
True! I think pattern matching and the high-powered static type system really pull a lot of weight here, though. Haskell's types are a whole other dimension of domain modeling. You can encode algebraic data types as pure lambdas, but it's much less pleasant IMHO. (Laziness also bakes some common streaming patterns into the language core, which I find really nice, but it also makes it harder to totally understand what's going on sometimes, so it's a bit more of a toss-up.)

Point being, nobody wants to model their data structures as pure lambdas; even primitive integers are an addition on top of the lambda calculus.

> For an example of a non-trivial program

I don't think I'm taking the point you wanted me to from this program. It's under 30 lines, yet I'd need to pore over this for twice as many minutes to comprehend what it's doing. I can see the lambda abstractions and applications clear as day, but what they're doing I couldn't say. (The comments clearly say it's a universal binary LC interpreter, but we don't usually judge languages by their comments.)

EDIT: Right, okay, it's a submission to the the International Obfuscated C Code Contest. If it's obfuscated, then indeed, I'm not meant to comprehend it easily. Not sure that sells the lambda calculus.
Yes. I bought an aftermarket v6 battery with increased maH over the original, but with no 3 stage blue led charge level indicator (just one led) but it definitely lasts longer.
I prefer the directory structure approach as it makes it a lot easier to find the code related to a route. In other approach you can spend a lot of time finding the right files. The directory structure based routing really makes things a lot more convenient. I can imagine it's annoying when you move routes/urls a lot
I think that's what they are doing with the live view street directions. They can easily recreate the new imagery based on the users photos.
On the contrary -- the opposite will happen. There's a decent body of research showing that just by training foundation models on their outputs, you amplify their capabilities.

Less common opinion: this is also how you end up with models that understand the concept of themselves, which has high economic value.

Even less common opinion: that's really dangerous.

12px is not tiny. A bit small for body text considering the narrow font, but not unreadable. If you consider that text tiny then you should configure your browser (or OS) to enable DPI scaling (effectively zoom by default) instead of demanding all websites have giant text.
...meanwhile, StreetView imagery for Germany has turned 14 - i.e. in much of Germany (major cities only), StreetView still shows the images from the original drive-through from 2008. After that (and a series of legal challenges which led to a ruling saying that buildings have to be blurred if one inhabitant objects to it being visible on StreetView), Google has apparently lost interest. The "3D buildings" feature, which is not affected by this ruling for some reason, gives a much better overview anyway...
Haha, yeah right. It's probably higher than 90/10 by any metric, and the more violent sexual crimes are almost always men.

Men commit 97% of murders worldwide. Ironically though it is men that are most likely to find an ideology that deems other cohorts within society as collectively bad and representative of moral decay.

I'm quite wary of "taking sides"; what's public is alarming, I mostly take it at face value, but don't add weight. I'm not saying the truth is somewhere between the extremes, I suspect the accusations are right, but I don't confuse my suspicion with proof.

If something has no value as evidence, then you should disregard it. If China is a murderous totalitarian state, it will show beautiful, pristine "reeducation camps" to outsiders. If it is not a murderous totalitarian state, it will also show beautiful, pristine "reeducation camps".

You can totally learn about something without physically going there. Satellite imagery, intelligence-gathering... in fact for sure you can learn a lot more from document caches or finding insiders willing to talk than seeing some kind of "micro" insight into these camps. If I find a small handful of victims, well who knows, maybe they were unlucky. If I find a document specifying how to torment those incarcerated en masse, that's a smoking gun.
But even local governments are always made by backroom negotiations, I really don't see the difference.

> A government-funded institution has no one with a stake in its long-term success. Its only goal is preserving itself and capturing more resources from the government.

Why would you say that? By that logic a charitable institution has no one with a stake in it's long-term success. It's only goal is preserving itself and capturing more resources from donors. There's nothing about governments which makes them inherently incapable of hiring motivated staff.

In my experience, government workers, be they school teachers, nurses, librarians, or community workers are often some of most highly motivated workers I have met.

> it's not clear if "welfare" can expand beyond that.

It is clear if you believe that such funding is available from philanthropic sources. It's just a question of who we wish to give control of those resources to.
Hardware redundancy aside (and the good cost efficiency at Hetzner), reading the title, I'm getting the impression, the bus factor at healthchecks.io seems to be 1.

If I'd run a one man show type of business, I'd love to have some kind of plan B in case I'd be incapacitated for more than half a day. THAT would be an interesting read to me.
It's semantically similar but not syntactic sugar, since it is not translated to Optional or wrapper types, so it also doesn't incur the overhead of Optional.

I actually like the language support more, as it flows a lot better than the (flat)map chain you get in monadic style. Similar to async/await v.s. Future.
This protects other users from unruly processes within the same kernel. How will this behave in a cloud/hypervisor environment? If Linux is the bare metal kernel, will it protect others from an unruly VM of another customer, for example.

This behaviour has existed for years, I've been surprised how it's been able to remain so low-key.
TensorFlow Sad Story
You're wrong. Perhaps in denial. It certainly is a sign of low intelligence. Evolution has sorted the weak and is now drowning them. But I will agree it may be lack of a specific type of critical thinking. Perhaps religion bred a type of person vulnerable to bullshit and now that the environment has changed those with the mutation are no longer fit. There are many similarities between religious beliefs and the crypto-mania. Neither had a foundation in reality. Both appeared to be infectious and used peer groups to overrule an individuals critical cognitive processes. Both persecuted dissenters relentlessly. This is a similar phenomena
For actual information about Toxic Positivity, I think the following posts and articles are likely to be much more helpful:

>The alternative to military aid is allowing Russia to continue to act out its fantasies of conquest.

That wasnt the alternative. This war was 100% avoidable. The US took Ukraine's hand and led it directly into it.

It took six years of NATO slowly bringing Ukraine under its arm (with joint exercises, etc.) where three separate promises that it would join and three months of Putin sitting on the border asking for it not to join. This wasnt like Iraq.

This is the defensive alliance destroyed three separate countries in a fit of unprovoked pique. It's an aggressive defensive alliance.

Ukraine is the clash of empires that the US military industrial complex has been craving. It gets to spend only Ukrainian lives, stratospherically boost military budgets and create a European dependence on American LNG. For the US it's win/win/win.
I'm confused what the author is arguing against to a degree that leads me believe it a strawman. Physics is about building models that predict real-world phenomenon, and that is all it is.
You might work yourself through the exercises in "baby Rudin" to learn analysis, and ask questions on Stackexchange, but it'll probably often be very frustrating.

I think there are so many great books on linear algebra, that it is difficult to single one out. I think LA is also picked up much easier by most people, especially with a programming background.

It isn't really about the book imho, it's about being disciplined and do some practice exercises every day, like you're training a muscle.

Edit: and I recommend you never consult solutions, except to verify yours. "Illusion of competence" is a big thing you might accidentally step into in mathematics. My experience is that looking up solutions gives you a short strong eureka feeling, but you learn almost nothing from it. You have to go and arrive there yourself.
Just using the word "toxic" as a binary classifier of "things I don't like" is a problem. That includes people not being positive enough.
OTOH, it’s useful to know when your colleagues are struggling, either professionally or personally. It puts their reactions into context and helps anticipating their performance. If they’re struggling, they will not be giving their best show, as will you and as will I. We’ll all drop the ball, be slower,… and knowing I should expect that helps me, because I can try to cover some of their bases, as will they when I’m struggling. There may also be some unresolved conflict in the workplace that could be lowering everyone’s performance.

There’s no need to get into details or cross over into therapy territory, but a “hey, I’m currently not doing perfectly fine” is a much appreciated heads up for me. Showing that you do care to a certain extend helps people share those feelings.
Following up in another way, Eskimo culture can be safely assumed to lack flatbread since the diet lacked pretty much any plant-based element. Any other non-agricultural cultures, like pygmies, would also lack the ability to produce bread. (Not to say they don't eat it today; pygmies are commercially entwined with the settled people around them.)

You're totally right about donations + value of time. Thank you for pointing that out. It's hard to tell if these numbers can be compared. Also [4] paints a very different picture (although it's for 2016).

I think that philanthropic assets should correlate to donations, but you're right also here the numbers from this source cannot be compared to the numbers I mentioned before.

I am not interested in what interior ministers of other EU countries think is necessary for security. My own interior minister is a disease in itself. Part of that comes with the job, so no judgement here, but this is a dysfunctional situation for EU citizens. I don't think anyone has a mandate to implement anything like this. Worse enough that they forced EU citizens to put biometric data in their pass (in an inherently insecure manner with insecure criteria).

If that is what it takes I would suggest to disengage from Schengen agreements and we have to use our paper passports at border crossings again. This is no policy that could tackle problems with immigration and will of course also be applied to all citizens after a while. How long do we have to suffer these old fools...

This is quite a thin article. Not really much to go on in either direction. I'd be interested in some better reading on the subject if anyone has any.

Personally, I think I see a lot more toxic negativity than toxic positivity in the world and I've rarely heard the phrase "toxic positivity" used in a justifiable situation. Not to say that toxic positivity can't exist but quite often articles discussing it come across to me as justifying a defense mechanism people use when challenged over their toxic negativity.

I work on a PHP project that is installed an any number of environments - so exactly duplicating production is impossible. Of course we have a CI/Test system that tests various combinations of PHP version and DB engines, but we can't replicate every possible production environment. Using Docker to match production is therefore moot in our case.

All the PHP development frameworks these days have moved to Docker or VMs but nothing beats native. Indigo looks promising.
Yeah, I had no idea how involved it was until I went on a week long YT solo sailing across the <insert body of water> binge. Mad props to those people.
Calling Zionism equivalent to Nazism seems to be an overgeneralization. It would be better served to point out the similarities of both movements as overtly nationalistic, militant, and carried strongly by an undercurrent of racism. Furthermore, the current definition of Nazi is shifting away from that of the political party of the 30's and 40's and blending with a multitude of other racist and nationistic sentiments.

The persecution of an ethnic group towards the annihilation of their identity and way of life is inherently genocidal, but genocide predates Nazism and Zionism by millennia.
To be fair, that also describes a large portion of politicians.

The relevant part is this "LAS gäller för alla arbetstagare med undantag för de i företagsledande ställning. Lagen är tvingande, men kan inskränkas genom kollektivavtalsskrivelser."

The law covers all employers and employees regardless of union membership, but agreements between unions and employer organizations can limit the scope.

As you say, in practice companies will often sweeten the deal with a big severance package if they want to make changes which the law doesn't allow. I.e. get the right people to voluntarily resign instead of having the wrong people being laid off.

The international community looks at Israel and sees Arab citizens, Arab judges including on the supreme court, the 14 current elected Arab members of the Knesset.

Sorry, who are the Nazis?

I'm in no way trying to justify everything done by the Jewish state, the persistent harassment of Palestinians and encroachments in the West bank are deplorable. However equating that to naziism, while glossing over the utter apocalyptic devastation visited on Jewish communities all over the region is frankly revolting. Neither side in that conflict has come out of it looking good. Yes extremist zionists are some of the worst of the worst, but equivalent extremism on this issue is utterly normalised in the Muslim world and is in fact the national policy of many Muslim states.
