I assume Shopify’s position there is that the email address provided with the app is probably visible to end users somewhere and could cause confusion. The policy itself seems reasonable enough just shitty enforcement.

I haven't noticed, but I also don't assume anything I say is novel. However, being novel isn't necessary for adding information. If a hundred people have the same criticism vs if three people have the same criticism, those two scenarios say different things, and therefore each represent different pieces of information, so the extra 97 people in the former case are adding information on the whole despite not individually saying something novel.
I assume static charge is what clumped them. I assume too that is why the initial launch "failed to disperse".

There's no problem with having a couple dozen tabs up at a time when you're only looking at a couple of them, especially if they have incomplete forms, or have a certain ctrl-F term highlighted, or are for Stack Overflow. I've done that plenty of times myself. What I'm doubting is that someone could have 500 examples of this simultaneously, or 2000. That 830th Stack Overflow page is for a problem you solved months ago, you don't need that, and you certainly don't need the page version from months ago with the scroll position preserved.

People dream of situations like this, where keeping that tab open for years finally pays off, but realistically it's not likely to happen. You can close that half-filled out order form, it's okay. If you've left it open for a week, it's probably not that urgent. Bookmark the site and come back later.

Also, a while back I had a 5 gig memory leak from leaving Firefox open for a few days. I don't think that's normal, but who knows.

Money for startups is drying up. So we'll see a lot of startups closing and as a side affect the FAANG having layoffs due to the reduction in earnings caused by less over all spending. Silicon Valley and such are going to get hit hard since there's so much startup activity there. Panic is contagious so I can see why people are feeling the pain. We're going to go thru a few painful years but it is not the end of the tech industry. I doubt that more than a small percent of the tech industry will get impacted but I know no one wants to be part of that percentage.

Questions for your team (Choose one or more):

1. How many possible 128x128 1 bit color bitmaps exist? Follow up: How can you traverse this state space to generate output meaningful to a human?

2. Which letters can you remove from the English language where it's still readable without ambiguity? Follow up question(s): What's the smallest representation of the English language where it's still readable without ambiguity?

3. In what case(s) is a loop required to be unbounded (in any programming language)?

4. How many programs can be implemented in 10,000 bytes or less? Follow up: How many programs can be implemented in exactly 1000 bytes, 2000 bytes, ..., 10,000 bytes?

If interested, ask me how these questions map onto practical real world problems and/or submit answers so we can have a discussion.

I'd like to try this but it seems that there are limited options to import from Onenote. As far as I can tell, you can either try converting to markdown with an older version of Evernote (IIRC with limitations such as text formatting being lost), or use one of a few users' hacky solutions involving Pandoc. Is there an easier/better way?
I would say the issue is which float you want. If the int is larger than 2^24 it can't be represented exactly as a float32 so you may have intended to widen to float64 which covers int32 and float32. Or maybe not; maybe you wanted performance instead.

That being said, multiplying by 2 not working is pretty funny because that's always exact until you overflow the float. It's pretty annoying the compiler didn't just figure out there was no precision loss anywhere here so just do it instead of complaining.
I can't find the source but I believe there are about 4000 METAR sites. There are plenty more small airports that will issue a weather report but they are pulling from the closest site that actually records METAR data.

Because they have a better understanding of it than you do.

The Fed buys government bonds, aka "Quantitative Easing." That is printing money. They started doing that after the 2007-8 recession, because just lowering the interest rate to zero wasn't doing enough (in their view). They didn't want to have negative interest rates like some countries did, so QE was the only choice.

People aren't usually banned from sportsball games (either in-person or televised) via an automated system.

If they were, perhaps you'd see more of an uproar.

Facebook is fundamentally new and different precisely because its scale is equivalent to something as large as a utility; but it gets that scale based on automated processes. Once the automated processes begin fucking up people's lives with no recourse, we should start bringing in regulations.

Floating-point numbers, existing on finite computers, are just erroneous approximations of real numbers, so the same operation on floating-point and on ints means different things, yielding different results. Thus, allowing the programmer to magically unconsciously convert between floating-point and ints is a recipe for disaster arising from hidden/misunderstood floating-point error.

The safe way is to require the programmer intend about the type to use to be clear in the code and to force the programmer to be mindful about whether or not he is using floating-point. This is just what some languages do, including Rust.

In the first example, the author is essentially complaining that he has to type '2.0' instead of '2'. I don't think that's a lot of extra typing.

Perhaps it is good and convenient to have automatic int-to-float conversion, but such conversion involves error if the int values are large. Conversion in the opposite direction is similarly lossy/erroneous, even if the floating-point type can represent every real number perfectly, since not every floating-point value is an int value. Even with a perfect floating-point type, supporting automatic conversion only in one direction is weird/confusing from a user-interface POV, so the normal thing to do is to just not do automatic conversion.

To drive the point about floating-point error, perhaps some people complaining about lack of automatic conversion may be surprised by how the following round-trip conversion between int64 and float64 accumulates error, as demonstrated in a Python interpreter:

>>> int(float(0xffffffffffffff)) - 0xffffffffffffff

1

If you drop one digit, there is no error. A language forcing you to do the conversion explicitly forces you to be mindful of the potential for floating-point error. A language that does automatic conversion promotes blissful thinking and eventually big surprise.

How are you using your whiteboard at home?
In mathematics integers are a subset of the reals (which floats try to immitate) and when using multiplication of an int and a real you would expect the range to be real numbers.

So in a static typing context float * int has to be float. Otherwise it is not * it is some other operations (e.g. * composed with floor).

In dynamic typing you could decide the type at runtime. A JS runtime could in theory do that under the hood although semantically it should behave as a float.
Yep, same here. I was seriously considering diving into it, but any language that can't figure out how to multiply a float and an integer without further guidance from me is not worth the time. Life is too short for that sort of nonsense.
I'd appreciate it if they could be more upfront about their language support and what this even does for me. Right now this is: "A better gRPC for Go". And I don't know what's better about it without doing much more research. Apparently proto3 has support for json encoding by default. So they somehow give me a better schema validation. That's their claim but I don't see how exactly they do that without going much deeper into it. Meanwhile .proto files are obviously already a schema, so they might be parsing your golang server code to see if it still matches your .proto file. That sounds very brittle to me if true.
I'm not convinced at all from this post and I don't see how this works.

It seems like a concept like "the metaverse" will become necessary at some point as a kind of abstraction layer for communication via future technologies such as Neuralink. The comments I have seen from Zuckerberg on the topic of the metaverse, however, do not suggest that they are conceiving of it at this level of generality, instead focusing on extant video-game related concepts (VR, DLC purchases, etc.). Apple's work in this area (as rumored) also reflects the same limited vision of the concept.

Your assertion about increasing the top x% is only true in absolute terms. If we're talking top x% of college admissions then that changes the picture. There's a big difference between that top x% being 1,000 and that same percentage being 50,000 students.

I interpret OP's point to be more cynical:

The arbitrary selection is the point. Harvard, somehow, through a secret process, selects those who are likely to form a good portion of "the ruling class" for the next 3-4 decades.

Past performance so far indicates that they do a good job of it, so Harvard remains very prestigious.

Presumably this functionality is going to be baked into iOS and Android, and then standardised across billions of devices.

Lots of countries already require that you carry government ID with you, but once they start to accept (and prefer) this digital form, there will be a question of who regulates this functionality.

I can imagine there are already people out there who have had their Apple and Google accounts blocked for some (probably legitimate) reason, and these people would be disproportionately inconvenienced when this technology becomes so ubiquitous that exceptional cases are not tolerated.

> By comparison, the student/faculty ratio at a typical "good" college is about 5:1. Even knocking down the projected enrollment one order of magnitude (so 1/40th of the college-age cohort) gets you a 30:1 ratio which is still 6 times worse.

What qualifies as a good college, for this description? Typical state school, e.g. Oregon State University? What counts in the 5:1 ratio? Because it sure isn't just teachers, that's probably more like 50:1.
