At my old job in the UK, we always got better results hiring engineers from Imperial College (which is the UK attempt at an MIT/Caltech-type of school) than from Oxbridge.

We eventually figured out that the Imperial students had written thousands and thousands of lines of code by the time they graduated, in several different types of languages (Prolog, Haskell, C, Verilog, Java, Python, Javascript) and at all levels of the stack (they were writing drivers, theorem provers, machine learning code, games, web apps, etc.). The students had been using Linux as their daily driver for 4 years, the command line experience of ssh/git/grep and the rest of it was native for them.

The Oxbridge students had done a lot of hardcore mathematics and a lot of proofs of theoretical computer science concepts. Brutally difficult.

But the Imperial students would roll in, sit down, and within a few weeks (after we taught them about tests) would be pounding out large swaths of working code.

The Oxbridge students would start to get stuck once their programs hit 1000 lines, and would spend days refactoring little functions and making things pretty rather than just getting stuff done. They simply had never dealt with large, real-world code before.
To mount a believable defense against third-party browser engines, Apple would need to demonstrate that their browser is more secure than rival browsers. In order to persuasively argue a need to ban all rivals, Apple would need to prove that iOS Safari ships and delivers security patches faster, has significantly better security, and that the harm to users from allowing rival browsers is significantly worse than the harm caused by lack of competition. They would need to prove this for each individual browser / browser engine.

The evidence points that Safari's security is in fact worse than either Chrome/Edge or Firefox's so that's going to be a hard sell to even prove they are equivalent.

Intentional jailbreaking is a problem for Apple, not for Apple's users.
Perhaps this goes back to the logo having copyright (not Creative Commons) which is why IceWeasel and IceCat were created.
no one, especially not some random contemporary, owns the idea of using a lottery once a threshold is met. that concept has been thrown around for millenia to pick lots of all sorts. i've even suggested it as a reasonable approach to hiring right here on hn, and didn't even need to crib the idea off anyone else to do so. it's a rational solution for a decision system under high, but not unbounded, uncertainty.

Elon musk is pretty similar if you take a good hard look. He was an unsuccessful manager at a software company which got acquired. SpaceX is a successful company considering all it went through. It was founded on the basis of a manned carrier aircraft pushing the rocket and do a suborbital split. (they did this for years) Then they got a lot of investment and gave up on the original premise, instead going for controlled takeoff and landing. That failed spectacularly many times, but money kept pouring in. And now we have privatized satellite launches and Elon musk takes all the credit for it.
I've been featured on AppSumo Marketplace (not AppSumo Select) for 2 years now. This is the amount I made from $7k revenue: $5,075

Hope this helps others understand what marketplaces can do for you, and what they offer as well as how much they charge.

Happy to answer any questions you might have.

One thing I don’t understand for the results of the study is that people who sweetened their coffee apparently had lower death rate than those who did not sweeten it, which seems counterintuitive based on readings about sugar.
Ah the proof of not have the slightest idea of what you are talking about, given that those commercial AOT features were never sold by Sun in first place, with exception of Embedded Java deployments.

If we go down the implementation, maturity route, than even there are several half-arsed, hardly supported capabilities in Go compared with the JVM ecosystem, even after 10 years of existence.
Well, turkey (the bird) is called hindi (Indian) in Turkish, maybe change that too?

But seriously, I'm from T... Türkiye (?) and I don't think the name confusion is a big deal, but I'm not impartial as I really love turkeys :)

This will create a lot of confusion in bureaucracy for no reason I'm afraid.

That sounds like "re-animation", where a destructor leaks something to the outside that keeps the object from being destructed. That was in Microsoft Managed C++, and it was similarly awful.

If all you want to do is clean up something on deletion, how about passing the thing that needs cleanup to a channel, to be handled by another task?

I bet if Rust manages to achive the same market size that C++ enjoys in 2022, and various kind of compilers, OS support and deployment scenarions, during the next 40 years, those hacks will be just as messy as a language switch in any modern language nowadays.

I didn't know NASA had a phased array suitable for such surveys, but of course it's not really my gig -- astronomer, we don't transmit much! I mainly know about the Westford dish because it's used for VLBI and VGOS.

I looked for a big NASA phased array, and couldn't find one other than the SOAR proposal. I couldn't figure out if it was actually built or not.

Seriously, I'm interested in the details.

What do you mean "official latin name"? Seems to me the only Latin alphabet language without diacritics is English, but then we do use them in English for certain borrowed words (façade, piñata) or fringe uses (coöperate). I wonder how these are handled in a context like the UN where multiple languages are used.

> It's why regulations are so important and it's why things like NFTs will probably soon be regulated as securities.

Please correct me if I am mistaken, but it seems to me that you either fail to understand what an NFT is or fail to understand what a "security" is (note: the vast majority of NFTs do not grant nor claim to grant you any explicit form of equity or fixed income). Perhaps some NFTs can be seen as a form of equity (e.g. those representing collateralized debt positions), but the vast majority of them simply don't.

According to this logic, things like Beanie Babies and Magic: The Gathering cards should also be regulated as securities (since they're also collectible things that people trade/buy/sell).

TL;DR: Just because X can be bought/sold/traded, it doesn't necessarily make X a "financial instrument" or a "security", regardless of the question of whether economic activity around X should be regulated or not.

It's an RTS focused on macro instead of micro. It is cross platform and supports multiplayer! It's really simple in the sense that there are only three unit types, but the strategy is much more nuanced. One interesting dynamic I appreciate is that your unit limit is caused by the fact you have to be able to feed everyone, as opposed to some arbitrary max number the game picks for you or how many pylons you've built. (What do pylons do anyway?) The AI is challenging at harder levels and I still haven't mastered beating them regularly. I really enjoy this game
Not sure what you mean: "Türkiye" is the (official) Turkish name, "Turkey" is the English name. The Romans did not have a name for it, as it didn't exist at that time - and for most of its history, it was called the "Ottoman Empire"...

You're getting warmer. The reality is compilers default floating point is wrong for most uses. You should be able to represent things like pi and 1/3 exactly by default. That that's not the case in JS is criminal.

Have they? I mean humans spent most of their anthropological existence doing none of the sort. Moreover norms over how people conversed, when they conversed, and how openly they conversed widely varied based on culture, social standing, and gender. In many societies women weren't allowed to talk to many other people.

It's fine to prefer the ephemeral communication of IRC I'm just not sure if appealing to history is a good justification.

I don't think so because it involves verifying the identity behind the requester. It's how you get the green bar rather than the grey lock icon
> LDT (logical decision theory) seems to be an umbrella decision theory that only requires the use of logical counterfactuals, leaving the iteration type and updatelessness unspecified. So my understanding is that UDT1, UDT1.1, UDT2, FDT, and TDT are all logical decision theories.

It was already "open to all". A more accurate title would be "What happens when an elite public school loosens its admission standard". But that doesn't sound as noble.

It's strange the expert writers at the New Yorker would opt for a less informative, borderline misleading title, instead of using their skills to convey information more concisely and truthfully.

Am I supposed to tell people I'm from Türkiye from now on? Will be fun explaining to them it's not a silly joke, but the new official name of the country. Although you know what, it might lead to some good party banter.
>Because of Löb's theorem which is magic. I mean, I could try to explain it, but it would be a distracting detour and you'd need to be at least a little good at math to understand what the heck I was talking about.

I should have listened. Now after many online explanations and going deeper into the rabbit hole I'm not ever sure what a number is anymore.
It is a Lisp, as much as, Raket is a Scheme.
Woah there... Türkiye could very well become the English name as well. Language is fluid. It really depends on if they ask English speakers to change, and if they do.

Fully disagree here. I could list a hundred egregious examples where this isn't true for major aspects of life, but it's late and I'm tired of arguing on the internet. Perhaps tomorrow I'll respond with examples.

Int-to-float conversion is lossy, as my Python example demonstrates, and thus should not be automatic.

Performing a float op with an int, which you said should be allowed, entails automatic int-to-float conversion before the op, does it not?

2. Start planning your career. A job is a stepping stone, know where it is taking you and where you want it to take you.

MBIs are based on pre-scientific practices to begin with. Wouldn't it be a bit weird to say that MBIs are effective, but then say that all of the associated literature from 3,000 years is probably nonsense and not worth investigating?

We like to talk about how smart the ancient Greeks are. Greeks invented geometry, Greeks theorized that the Earth is round and measured its diameter, Greeks theorized that matter was made of atoms. Dalton gets credit for proving atomism experimentally, but he started out by gathering information from previous thinkers and experimenters.

The same is true of other cultures besides the Greeks and other theories besides atomism. It's easy to pick on Aristotle. He said some really stupid things; he said that men have more teeth than women. We can find plenty of quacks from the 20th century like Freud and Jung, plenty of barbarism like when Egas Moniz who cut up people's brains to change their behavior. Meanwhile, we keep discovering practices performed by various "primitive" peoples that are effective, and with investigation, we can understand the reason why it is effective. You don't need to read a 2,000-year-old Sanskrit text and take it at face value, but if you are studying the effects of meditation, it seems completely natural that you might want to do a literature review!
> Remember, the constitution restrains the government exactly as much as it wants to be restrained.

No, the American population is unwilling to die for rights any longer, because we're all too comfortable... excepting a few people like the Bundy Ranch standoff situation.

I guarantee you if 50,000 rifle-toting Americans had shown up at the Capitol and told the Federal Government, "Anyone who votes for a federal drinking age of 21 answers to us. Permanently.", we wouldn't have a nationwide drinking age of 21. To an extent, this is even how the Founders expected unlawful conduct by lawmakers would be answered...

They didn't realize we'd become so prosperous that we're no longer willing to die and kill to preserve rights that should be states' rights or local municipality rights.

More's the pity, if you ask me.
It really is just the money printing. If you remove that single element, any localised perceived prices rises are not "inflation" but is monetary dynamics at work restructuring information for resources allocation to capital accumulators/ wealth generators. This signal is made noisy by money printing and the purchasing power of the unit drops rather than increases (despite what happens to prices locally or globally in the system).

Google voice allows you to set what times it will forward numbers, so that gives you a second 'group' of contacts you can assign call times to (give them your voice number, allow them through do not disturb if necessary). It rather surprises me that there's no app for granular ringtone settings to allow calls from certain contacts only at certain times or on certain days.

- allow work calls and disallow family calls 9-5 weekdays only
- allow family calls but not work calls to bypass do not disturb by ringing a second time
- allow annoying acquaintance who wants tech support to only call on weekends, and to only ring on second call
- if working two jobs, prevent each workplace from calling during other workplace's scheduled hours
- add geofencing. don't allow community/neighbor calls while at work.

Basically, just add rules for each contact/group for when your phone will ring. Android used to have multiple sound profiles available, and IIRC allowed you to change the volume and default ringer, these could be activated automatically on a schedule. Now we only have Do Not Disturb, and that's it.
