What a strawman! Nobody is saying otherwise.

It's going to take decades, if not longer, for many of these effects to play out. Both the positive and negative ones.

The most optimistic take I saw here was somebody wondering -- certainly not claiming, but wondering -- if the positive benefits such as pollution might outweigh the negative effects in the long run.

Not enough information. But there are RF board to board connectors, so FPGA can be everywhere.
There are a few rural roads that don't get plowed. They have big "Enter at your own risk" signs, often in the best of conditions you need 4 wheel drive (all wheel drive will work, but if you don't understand the difference don't attempt it) to get through them at best.

The vast majority of rural roads get plowed. Everyone who lives in a rural area has at least one plowed route from their driveway to the rest of the world.
How are you making them share games? In the fb era it was easier to make people share to get likes. Today people are more image conscious and don’t want to come across as nerdy or geeky.

I would suggest going for 2 and adding boosts like halving the board or free turn etc. I found it an interesting game though. All the best.
I lift weights, recreationally and that immediately sounded bogus to me. One has to keep the center line of the mass over the middle of the feet. I can squat without knees going over toes and maintain that maybe up to a point where thighs are horizontal, by leaning forward with a bar. Past certain point, in a deep squat, no amount of upper body hinge allows me to maintain proper center of mass and knees go over toes to compensate.
"goat blog" is not a great query to explain an acronym, though.

The AWS SLA compensation is also very much rigged against you beyond percent based outage durations.

For example a couple of months ago AWS had an outage that caused all of our customer facing domains to go down in us-west-2. It meant going to example.com wasn't resolving with our site due to a confirmed AWS outage.

For a few hours all of our RDS instances, EC2 instances, etc. were being charged for but providing $0 value since the entire org's sites were down. All revenue halted because the site wasn't accessible. When I contacted AWS support about the outage they mentioned we only qualified for some microscopic amount because the outage wasn't directly related to RDS, EC2 or VPC related things, etc..

A certain ePub reader on MacOS used to use a bloom filter for text search. You would decompose an ePub into pages of text and generate a bit array for the text on each page. As the user types in the search field you could often reject large portions of the document — leaving perhaps only a handful of pages where the code would only then have to drop down to the more tedious string matching algorithm.

Very cool.
Thank you for being constructive. This is a very sad effect indeed.

I'm not sure it could be seen as intrinsic to lockdown though, but could be more of an issue with the implementation of it. Closing schools and online teaching was a a controversial topic in the discourse here in Norway.

This study[1] from Norway surveyed teachers about the attendance of students with pre-existing School Attendance Problems(SAP) during online homeschooling:

>Teachers rated their experiences of their students’ participation in homeschooling compared to regular school attendance. The findings indicate that teachers very slightly perceived better/much better participation during homeschooling (35 percent) than worse/much worse participation (31 percent) (Table 5). There were no significant gender differences; however, teachers reported that more boys than girls participated better/much better during homeschooling (42 percent boys and 27 percent girls).

So in this case there was a slight overall improvement, it seems.

Yeah maybe the money doesn't matter if you are single. If you have a family to support, however, money is every so slightly important.
> Numbers are comforting because they are "objective".

Yes, your commentary basically nails it IMHO.

There's a lot of worship for "results driven" people and approaches, and in some places and times that's needed. The problems come, like you said, when the metrics get punked by folks with selfish motivations.

There's another facet to the problem and that's when there's a lack of information and an environment of chaos and change. What one thinks are "the facts" might not be the full story and acting blindly on that basis without knowledge of other unknown but more relevant facts will be MORE harmful than operating on instinct alone.

This burns operations folks all the time. They often straddle the line between "results-driven" or "process-driven" approaches. But there's another way that can be more helpful when things are more dynamic and complicated: what I call a "purpose-driven" approach.

I agree with you. Don't confuse the map with the territory.

There needs to be someone, who can combine and explain the reasoning behind all the numbers. After all, they should serve a strategy.

For example, you could judge an iPhone by its specs and/or by using it. Spec wars lead to Intel boasting GHz numbers, while Apple focused on customer experience, where a fast CPU is only part of the equitation.
Lowering profits to more effectively compete is not illegal. If you're saying that the company does not feel competitive pressure at all then that may in fact be illegal depending on the current courts interpretation of anti-monopoly laws.

> Do folk genuinely get asked problems like that in technical interviews these days?

No idea! I'm still in interview prep mode though so I'm doing the LeetCode contests every weekend. Even if practicing problems like these is over-preparing I think it's probably a good idea for me because I imagine I'll be much more nervous and less performant during an actual live interview.

> Is there supposed to be a linear time solution?

Yes! Using a monotonic stack to find the "pivot points" of the contiguous subarray groups as well as both a prefix-sum array and prefix-product array to calculate the sum of all subarrays in each group in O(1) time after initially building the arrays in linear time.

There are some great explanations in the discussion section. This is one of the few problems that I got stuck on and wasn't able to solve on my own after a couple days of trying. The LeetCode community is awesome though and getting to see how other people solved the problem is a great educational resource.
The problem is that, as Hardware Unboxed and others have demonstrated in their disputes with nVidia, if you're not releasing reviews on the manufacturer's schedule (e.g. samples available early and then following embargos for releases) then there's no viewership for your videos.

Literally if you haven't made and released a video in the two days after the embargo drops, you're not going to get substantial views, at least not enough to be a household name.

So, even if you are independent, you play the game and you try not to p*ss the vendor off while also maintaining independence.

Ultimately, the Intel videos by LTT and GN weren't a full review, and both were previews. But importantly, they were previews in a way that we really aren't used to big corporates allowing, and that's a positive change. While both channels were clearly being friendly, I don't think there was anything shill about it. The vendor set the bounds of what they could show in exchange for the right to share what was allowed, but I didn't see them reading from the hymn sheet. Heck, Intel spoke openly things that previously nVidia and AMD would have been trying to hide or avoid, it's refreshing.

You take the videos for what they were, a preview under specific conditions. Later on there will be full reviews, unconstrained benchmarks and time for a full critique. But I bet with great certainty, most people won't ignore these preview videos, or any "day zero" reviews, in favour of channels that don't work with Intel PR.
It worked the same as it worked on personal level too. At the very beginning you can just lock yourself inside and there is basically no chance to get sick. But what then?

If you could just lock everybody in the world for a month you could basically get rid of all the infectious diseases. However you can't. So lock down only helps to win time.

After you win your time you really need to know what to do with it - e.g. effective vaccine is created in this time.

Otherwise you just delay inevitable and that is it.
Same goes for presentations.

All meetings I have been in for the last 15 - 20 years starts with "This is a high-level view". Which means "I am to lazy to analyze details". Spreadsheets and presentations feed in into this.

When I start showing details, people "turn off", no wonder many projects fail. When I started out in IT, almost all meetings were to examine details and people would work to tweak the resolution to make it better.

Spreadsheets like 123 started becoming mainstream in the late 80s, then slow slide to "High Level" started. Then the trend greatly accelerated when presentation software became mainstream. Before that, it was easier to talk details then to create a slide deck for an overhead viewer.

> but it had to do with the fact that the unpronounceable symbols ^ and $ had a specific meaning that was not what the devs expected.

What's worse is that ^ and $ have different meanings depending on whether you're using "single-line" or "multi-line" mode. From a quick web search, it seems Ruby always uses "multi-line" mode, while most other languages use "single-line" mode by default and have a flag to switch to "multi-line" mode. Someone who learned regex in other languages might not notice this difference, since most of the time the text being matched has no newlines, and so expect ^ and $ to match the boundaries of the text unless told otherwise by a "multi-line" flag.
I use gnucash https://gnucash.org/ plus some custom scripts to convert the different bank statements to a common format that gnucash can import. This takes care of the not having to manually enter data. For cash I send a message with the amount and category to an email address I set up for this. This transaction gets parsed out and saved in a flat file that also gets imported.

Reconciling I do by hand but because I import from the banks, it's usually just a couple of clicks.

I guess I had a different reaction, which is interesting to me in itself.

The closeups of the fabric look like the coat would still be expensive today. Clothing is efficiently produced, but much of it is modest quality, and produced from commodity fibers like cotton or polyester.

If you want something that's a more exotic weave, made from a different fiber (say, a silk-wool blend) it's a different story.

The impression I got from this was of more craftsmanship in the fabric production, but also more reuse of that fabric.

There's something to be said for factory-efficient bulk clothing production, but I've come to appreciate the other philosophy as well. Many of my secondhand clothes have lasted much longer than firsthand purchases, at the same price, because the initially expensive garment was better made with more durable fabric. I can actually think of a t-shirt I recently purchased that's a bit like the coat in the article, in that it's made from an unusual fabric that I had tailored because I didn't like the hem style.

Of course, there's probably some survivorship bias involved too: my guess is the cheaper bulk clothing from the era of that coat is all gone, disposed of just like we might a cheap cotton t shirt today.
Well this seems extremely misleading. Technically this is true: Rust doesn't have forward compatibility.

But it does have guaranteed backwards compatibility since the 1.0 in 2015, which is far more important. So "break things" really doesn't apply. It's trivial to incorporate old code last written in 2015 into brand-new projects.

And nowadays I'm not even seeing too many brand-new language features come out. GATs will land soon, but that really feels like filling out a part of the language that people would have expected to be there anyway.
I tried rust 4 years ago, and it was the case on a great extent.
Is it really still true?

I read a lot. I basically always have at least one fiction book and one technical book (usually math, statistics, or programming) that I'm reading at any given time.

I think I'm an outlier on the other end. This year I've read 3 or 4 books on programming language theory, one specifically about Scheme, and The Rust Book. I've picked up and read a a little bit to a lot from a lot of math textbooks.

This is all probably stems from graduate school training and my ADHD... It also helps to have PDFs or online versions and a baby that had some serious aversion to sleep, so the only thing you can do is sit in the dark rocking her and read...

I use beancount[1] with its web interface fava[2], it does accounting more than budgeting. Having always the financial records as plain text file gives me the peace of mind. I just need a tool to help me understand my financial situation once in a while, so this is enough for me. I can also use Python to build custom importer, which imports records from websites like amazon, apple, venmo, etc.[3], I am familiar with Python so this system works for me. If you are looking for some budgeting feature i heard someone has developed a plug-in for it.

For me, GOATs are not as interesting as "people who are a _bit_ more talented than me, but share the same general set of problems". For example, I'm never going to improve my ability play football by watching Lionel Messi. Better to actually talk with a pretty good local coach.
> Setting is 72, reading is 73. AC is not on, I guess the thermostat is trying to save energy.

This can be explained by hysteresis [0], which all thermostats use to avoid cycling the A/C too fast.

But the second part where the reading drops instantly is strange. Sounds like some kind of software heuristic where they're trying to make the user feel more comfortable about the hysteresis interval. Or something.

You are talking about a fundamentally different situation than the article, and than a lot of areas face. “The good restaurants in my area.” That implies a much larger selection than the typical small town, where there’s likely a McD’s but not a chipotle.

And as was already stated, the buying power in these towns tends to also be lower, maybe fluctuating due to tourists but nowhere near a city’s average. Your “people keep coming” and “doubled prices”comment suggests a much higher level of disposable income.

And throwing out corporate chains as part of this? The franchises are just tiny pieces of the whole. There’s a whole massive machine watching each limb, supplying it, and sometimes amputating it. Which, yet again, compare that to a mom and pop, it is nowhere near the same.

If you haven’t been to a small town, you should visit a few. Your disposable income would be welcome in a lot of great restaurants that are still struggling. A lot of not so great ones as well.
Agree completely. There's no possible "assume best intentions" attitude that can be taken toward a zero effort comment like that.

Although, we can probably also agree it would have been best to ignore that "Sweden" comment entirely since such comments tend to be downvoted swiftly.

Now, you may be wondering: do I reliably follow my own advice and avoid responding to trollish replies like that? No. No I do not.

> A ”best effort” summary of this article: if thousands of people die in once place, it’s one of the great tragedies in American history. However if thousands of people die in thousands different places, it is ignored and considered a fact of life.

In economics, this is called catastrophe aversion: as a society, do we prefer accidental deaths to be "clumped together" or not (the total number of people killed being equal). Though the question is very important in regulating certain industries that can produce major accidents, we don't really know much about social preferences in this regard (the limited studies undertaken so far suggest that Americans and Europeans do not want regulators to adopt catastrophe-averse policies for safety risks). For an approachable introduction to this question, see [1].

I understand Digger's philosophy of "always keep launching". You guys launch products on what seems like a weekly basis to see what might stick. All the products lead back to Digger. That being said, how is this specifically different than using Terraform modules? Is the big selling point just being able to click and generate terraform code? Is it different than what Brainboard is doing?

Referential transparency is a property of expressions, not type classes. Referential transparency is nowhere in the definition of a monad because a monad is obviously not an expression but a type class.

It is definitely true that Promise is a data type that _could_ admit a monad instance. It has:

- a data type M a which is Promise a

- a function pure with the signature a => M a, which is x => Promise.resolve(x)

- a bind function with the signature M a => a => M b => M b which is essentialy `then`

But a monad requires three properties to hold true: Right identity, Left identity and associativity. Right identity holds for every function `f: a => M b`, but left identity and associativity do not hold.
It's funny, no one in the UK cares about real actual privacy, yet we're obsessed about the "dangers" of tracking cookies.

I don't know how true this is outside the UK, but here people are generally happy for the government to monitor their internet and mobile communications, they're happy for supermarkets to use facial recognition cameras to identify them at checkout, they're happy for CCTV to monitor their every move, but if Google tracks your search results, that's going too far.

Even on the topic of encryption, most people don't really care as long as it's not Facebook or Google reading their messages. If you're any other business or the government, then go on ahead... Collect our biometric data, read our emails, track our movements. No need for consent.

Such a device has a good chance to become the "de-facto" developer's choice for Linux folks.
You obviously have no idea what an assault rifle is, just made an assumption from the name.

An assault rifle is a normal rifle that because of a few cosmetic features looks like a military gun. None of those features make it more deadly than any other gun.
