This is not my point at all. Instead, the problem is that scientific topics require huge time investments to be able to form an informed opinion.

To check whether someone's scientific arguments hold (assuming they are not ridiculously bad), you will need hours, days or weeks of research of your own, if you don't already know everything. You will need to check their math, to check their models, to compare with others' models in the literature, to do some small experiments of your own (even if just statistical experiments). You can't just listen to two people speak for 1 hour and meaningfully decide for yourself who is right.

Einstein couldn't have listened to two climate scientists debate for 1h and have decided for himself who is right. It just takes far more effort.

And the purpose of journalism and the scientific establishment is exactly to spare the rest of us that effort: journalists can talk to established scientists and help many millions of people form an informed opinion on what we know about a topic, without having to dedicate their week to that single topic. Those that do want to dedicate more time, and who do want to meaningfully investigate the fringe opinions shouldn't get it from Fox or BBC, they should go and read up on the literature, pro and against, with detailed technical arguments, once they understand enough of the field for those arguments to make sense.

To summarize: anyone who wants to contradict climate change should show you the math. If they can't show the math for various time constraint reasons, then it mustn't be on TV. If a TV station or news article is willing to spend 4-8 hours to discuss the technical details, then by all means, invite both sides of the argument.

I have no experience with the company beyond the by now likely 1000 highly irritating ad videos they have thrown at me, making it unlikely I ever would want to have anything to do with them.

As far as I understand it, it's real-time if you don't adjust k dynamically to avoid running out of memory.

The heap size you need is R*(1+1/k). So if k=1, then you need to threat a half-full heap as an out-of-memory condition, which is comparable to quite a few GC's. If you set k at e.g. 4 instead, you can use 80% of the heap.

If you're ok with losing real-time guarantees you can instead dynamically increase k as needed.
>IMHO, once you're in the new role, it's not so scary.

Yup. If you're decent at your current job, you'll be decent at the next job after an initial adjustment period.

The only time I'd be worried is if I thought I was bad at my job, because I feel like a new company is going to be more critical at first.
> I totally don't care about the Earth slowing down.

Neither do I in day to day life. But I do have to care about it when I or members of my team write code, or store and retrieve data to and from a database, or work across multiple timezones, because it can be critically important to unambiguously know whether something happened on one day or the next.

The reality is there aren't any nice, elegant solutions to this problem. Leap seconds aren't a nice solution. Meta's proposal isn't a nice solution. I don't necessarily even think it's worse than leap seconds, but it's certainly not substantially better. The key point is it's a change and one which, in my view, won't deliver enough value for everybody (beyond just Meta) to justify the level of disruption it will certainly cause if implemented.

Books are not banned, just not used in the classroom anymore. While the reasons for it may be wrong, it's something that happens constantly all over the world. No one prevents children or adults to read those books at home. Banning books could mean that owning them is illegal and that just hasn't happened.

You can own it without money or cred backing you up, but it requires courage and a willingness to go all in and double down in the face of the inevitable pushback.

Coincidentally, for me, I had an MRI yesterday and they always give me access to the DICOM files so it's interesting to know more about them. "Horos" is a really good viewer if you want something for managing and viewing entire sets of such images, especially as it can create 3D visualizations of all the 2D slices which results in fun/creepy pictures of my brain to show off.
I feel for you. Really. I've been down that rabbit hole; and it took me about 3-4 years to get back after crashing really hard with a resulting deep depression.

I wish I could give you some really good advice that would change your entire life in a heart beat. I didn't find any such solution though. For me it was about setting boundaries and finding out what was energy positive and what was energy negative in my life and start eliminating the negative stuff and amplifying the positive. My guess is this means different things for everyone.

You're probably not realising how much you let the external world control your inner world. I certainly wasn't.

Also don't feel bad for anything negative you have been letting into your life. Somewhere down the line later in life you will appreciate even those things about your past. I can say that with a bit of perspective I now understand it was inevitable for me to end up where I did and I would also not have learned the life lessons I learned and I would be in a much worse place now if I hadn't. Looking back, I wouldn't want to have missed the experience for anything. It made me better in so many ways.
I can't help but notice that these articles are written in a way that suggests the proliferation of these devices is inevitable, which is not the case.
> The problem with English is

mostly everything.

I am a native speaker, which means that I didn't realise that british english isn't actively taught. Like we aren't taught grammar in any particular way (apart from I before E, except after C, which is mostly bollocks, because it depends on the origin of the word. [their for example.])

Basically we are dipped in the language and we either succeed, or in my case dumped in remediation. (I can't spell for shit)

I didn't realise this until I was learning another language as an adult. They were usings terms like "present continuous, reflexives, compound verbs, etc" None of which I knew the practical meaning of.

Teaching a child to read, again you just realise that basically its 5 different languages smeared together, with shit all rules. Syntax, yeah we have some, but no native speak can explain the rules. (we have adjective ordering , but I don't know what it is, I can only tell you if you've got it wrong.)

I think we're on different sides of a weird political split.

We both want to help poor people in the developing world, but you're only interested in doing so if it involves giving money to fossil fuel interests.

Whereas, I believe (like basically all economists do) that increasing the price of fossil fuels would actually help the world, by increasing efficiency and incentivizing better alternatives, many of which are already better than the alternatives and a net win.

At least we can agree that we both want to help people, and we also agree that one of us is tragically misinformed and actively hurting the people they claim to be helping by promoting counterproductive actions.

Our only point of disagreement seems to be whether it's me that's accidentally hurting people by suggesting we burn less fossil fuels, or if it's you that's hurting people by advocating for burning more fossil fuels.
No, I wouldn't trust it to not log everything I type. I also think that there is value in practicing your writing skills.

How can an automated delivery system help your startup move faster
As many of us would agree, it is important to organize the development process in a way that puts a working piece of software in the hands of the users. Especially it is crucial in the early stages of any digital product. This article shares some thoughts on how a well-configured CI/CD environment can help you reach this goal.
i don’t think you’re wrong, i just think you may have lost sight of some external factors. in 1995, the market was naturally filled with folks interested in computers more organically. now, software writing is the modern “factory floor” worker bee position. interestingly, a huge part of the field can’t accept that we aren’t especially unique or smart, just able to tell a computer how to process inputs. we take this need to feel as if we are a part of the intellectual class, based on a rose colored glasses view of a time 20 to 30 years ago when the only people that worked on software were all staff+ enigneers. then we create this perverse concept of a “real” engineer, and that engineer is just way more willing to aquiesce to _any_ thing you do, and therefore is a “team player”.

telling someone to interview for two hours, having them decide that of all the offers of interviews they had yours was least interesting with the highest barrier to entry, and you deciding they were at fault isn’t going to help you deal with the modern realities of software, and how far we’ve come for our idealized version of where we came from

In Israel, the threshold is low : 100000 NIS, about $29k, and that's revenue, not profit.

As a reference point, the minimum wage in Israel is 60,000 NIS, so adding expenses and buying parts/consumables/fittings etc on behalf of your customers onto that, most contractors would reach that threshold quickly.

I can see why the contractors are keen to stay below the threshold, and why the government is keen to restrict cash usage (they are gaining 17% sales tax as well as income tax.)
I found the modern redesign of their stores they did hilarious. Before we had you know the clean white look but when they moved to the “town square” design I think it really pointed out the monoculture at Apple.

You can tell they’re sheltered because they built this “town square” design complete with seating and trees then tables around them. To them, this looks like a beautiful communal town square, to people who don’t live in SV and One Infinite Loop it looks like a 00s mall food court and extremely tacky.

FreePascal maintains their own optimizer. It is one of the few languages that still have their own optimizer rather than using LLVM. Although they would probably better of using LLVM. They introduce a new optimization every month, and I usually notice the new optimization when my code starts crashing with the nightly compiler.´

But they have a bunch of reasons why they cannot use LLVM like "LLVM will almost certainly never support all targets that FPC supports (Gameboy Advance, OS/2, WinCE, ...), or at some point drop support for targets that FPC still supports (as already happened with Mac OS X for PowerPC/PowerPC64)." [1]

Or "FPC's native code generators are much faster than LLVM's (even if you would neglect the overhead of FPC generating bitcode and the LLVM tool chain reading it back in), so especially while developing it may be more interesting to use FPC's own code generators"

But the test of this thread mostly benchmarks the hashmap implementation. I got my own Pascal hash map, it is twice as fast than the one in their standard library.

And, looking at the test code, it does a double hashing, first a get, then an insert. If it did a find entry and update it in-place, it would be twice as fast, too.

Together that would be four times faster and as fast as the C version and still be simple

The low tech attacks often have low tech workarounds. DeSantis may "ban" a math book but there's nothing stopping a Florida resident from buying it and giving it to a child. There's plenty of other marketplaces and similar publishers I can pull from.

When computing is controlled at a hardware level, you have far fewer competitors and market places. Working around things can be significantly more difficult and you may be stuck with scrapping up old less capable tech trying to do something you should have better options for. This is the reason technologists fear technology control, not so much because of tunnel vision but because the general population can't work around it, even experts may not be able to work around such protections. Low tech always has easy work arounds--the option exists even if you may fear the consequences.

Very interesting! I have been working with medical information standards for a while now. Recently, I took an interest in DICOM and ways to modernize it. For example by introducing streaming, caching, moving metadata to a FHIR ImagingStudy resource.

To me, specifically streaming and caching strategies to move the load of (often hopelessly legacy) hospital infrastructure are an interesting challenge.

Secure chips like this are already in all devices but PCs. And in none of these areas has any of that happened. Quite the opposite, Apple got a fine when they slowed down older devices to save battery (at least what they said).

So the government will clearly help out here. And none of these companies has an incentives to stop sales to smaller companies, they make a lot of money with those.
That's pretty much exactly the playbook that I am using.

If you don't have a following you don't have social clout.
If you don't have social clout you are in that bottom tier where people don't see the need to engage with.
I don't expect that high clout people like Jim Cramer or Elon Musk engage, but in general especially Twitter is a black hole.
I had good experience with getting followers on LinkedIn and Medium, but that was mainly based on a lot of work that I had put in to engage with people and write content. At some point in time, I was in the top 5% business writers in the world. Yet, from a monetization perspective that was a flat 0. So given that experience, I might be the worst social marketer since I am not being able to earn 10 bucks on common social media.
The ending is so botched though, I’ve never been so underwhelmed in my whole life.
I feel like it's flawed. Voters and politicians abuse it left and right - pun intended. I don't think we ever came up with anything more humane though, and I don't wish to change it for anything other - to be honest, for the simple reason of not wanting the responsibility that goes along with it.

Choosing a party is not like choosing an OS for your PC, though. Choosing the OS would be like choosing the political system - and recognizing the incredible privilege I have by being born into a democracy, I very much wouldn't like other people to change it.

Going further into democracy, while you might put an X on a paper sometimes, still forbids a very high number of actions. I'd liken it to having the power of choosing between Apple's App Store and Google's Play Store for your phone. Which, getting back to the point, is safer for the users than installing any third party software. Like how in a well functioning democracy, I'm forbidden to do a great many things, but also I can feel safe in the thought that others have the same restrictions too.
> The situation in Russia right now in regards of Ukraine war is very simple -- everybody has rallied around Putin and against the West, everybody knows that this war is a proxy war against USA ands Ukraine is just an unlucky puppet. If you see some media telling you otherwise, you should know outright that it lies.

This isn’t a war against the west, it’s a war of aggression waged by Russia that is killing, torturing and raping civilians. This is a war of survival for Ukraine, if they lose they cease to exist.

The Russians have repeatedly said that Ukraine isn’t a real country.

The only way that this is a war against the west is that the west is supplying Ukraine against the genocidal Russian army.
Essentials of Vintage QuickCheck – Property-Based Testing (Part 2)
according to an article linked elsewhere (https://www.baynews9.com/fl/tampa/news/2022/05/06/florida-ba...) it was because they had too many black people depicted as athletes and they had word problems that treated scientific facts as if they were scientific facts.

The one example that I thought might have been somewhat improper was "Multiple exercises related to a debate between Al Gore and Rush Limbaugh, where the publisher was in favor of Al Gore's arguments based on the questions in the exercises."

If the debate in question was fictional, I'd be tempted to agree it would have been better to avoid using the names of real people although I'd disagree that is enough to ban the use of the textbooks. If the debate was actual and the textbook pointed out very real flaws with Rush Limbaugh's logic (especially if they were a real world example of bad math) I'd say that it makes perfect sense to include it in a math text book.
