So deciding whether to invest a couple billion dollars into a farm is not as important as running the farm? Are you sure?
This clarification is either very poorly written, or very duplicitous. They say what court documents in part indicate, but give no clarity on whether that portion of the court documents were, or were not, part of what was under the secrecy order, nor do they reveal whether or not they had access to those portions of the documents at the time. The entire statement seems designed to confuse the issue.

Laying that aside, are they saying that they will not turn over user data when they know the request for data relates to a person being prosecuted for seeking or helping with an abortion? I don’t think they are saying that, but they are trying to get good will as if they would fight such a request, even though they wouldn’t.

Thank you! I have indeed tried as best as I could to not prescribe anything, and just present them as “these things have happened, they have not gone well, I think I tried pretty hard, here’s what I think might have been happening”.

As for T. rex's next steps, the study authors want to incorporate their flexible tail into models of a running T. rex, van Bijlert said. Maximum running speed for a T. rex is thought to be in the range of 10 to 25 mph (16 to 40 km/h), according to Hutchinson. Biomechanics researchers have long proposed that T. rex's maximum running speed would be limited by the strength of its bones, because the animal was so heavy. However, a flexible tail could change that by acting as a shock damper during running, "allowing it to run faster without breaking its bones," van Bijlert said.

> where I would have to store the source as a separate file from the executable, then compile it each time

> What's your build and deploy (to ~/.local/bin I presume) strategy?

You can run scripts as you would with bash, you don't have to manually build and run the executable. For example, `cargo run (inside the script source folder)` and `sh script.sh` do basically the same thing, end user wise. `nim compile --run script.nim` is similar in that the language compiler will automatically compile and run it together.

> Could you share some Rust that most people would script in Bash as an example?

I was creating dotfiles the other day and I didn't want to use some dotfile manager program as I had some specific steps I wanted to follow, so I started it as a bash script. Well, it got kind of annoying so I made it into a Rust script with some nice features like interactive prompts, text coloring, etc with libraries like `clap`. You can do this in bash of course, but the Rust version was more ergonomic. When I need to run the script, I just did `cargo run` and it worked great.
So if you want to see this theory in action go to developing countries with an elite ruling class where they don't disperse funds to social works and see how nice it is, behold their lame GDP, etc.

The country I live in SE Asia is a good example. It's quite libertarian out here and yeah being able to pay for private hospitals is nice, but generally speaking your quality of life is lower, quality of goods is lower, average person is less educated, traffic is a crippling problem due to poor planning, it goes on and on. And despite labor being super cheap, roads are a mess, sidewalks are few and far between and if you do get one it's crowded with junk.. Only 10% of the country pays taxes, the inequality with the rich is massive, and if you're not in the top 1% you're basically a poor.

I recommend everyone in a rich english speaking country spending at least a year or two living in a developing country to get some perspective

Great info, but man, making the background a bluish slate grey without changing the default blue link color was a bad decision. Illegible on my devices. This is a much more obvious problem than most "well X is my favorite color and it it looks fine on my monitor" developer design decisions, but the subtler ones can be as or more consequential. Design is more than decoration and really knowing how it works takes a lot more learning and practice than many developers realize.
A+ comment. I've been hearing this idea that "there is no such thing as a 10x engineer" for almost a decade now and from the very first moment I heard it I considered it one of the most definitively untrue ideas circulating in the tech industry. In fact, there are 100x engineers.

Is there a good (for the end user) reason that Messenger does not have E2EE enabled by default?

From The Verge's article[1]:

> However, campaigners note that Meta always has to comply with legal requests for data, and that the company can only change this if it stops collecting that data in the first place. In the case of Celeste and Jessica Burgess, this would have meant making end-to-end encryption (E2EE) the default in Facebook Messenger. This would have meant that police would have had to gain access to the pair’s phones directly to read their chats. (E2EE is available in Messenger but has to be toggled on manually. It’s on by default in WhatsApp.)

Good point - I guess 80% agreement is good enough for the internet.
The core difference in my opinion is that the 284 lines of code here effect a relative 16% improvement in result quality over what until now was the best publicly available research.

That's why I wrote "State-of-the-Art" at the beginning of the title. Because this is based on new research and it works better than previous research.

Facebook absolutely did something wrong. Perhaps, if they weren't so intent on hoovering up our data for advertisers, they might have built their systems such that they couldn't provide that data to law enforcement.
I think both generalizations are off the mark a bit. A lot of young folks are very idealistic and think they can have a larger impact (i.e. fix the world's problems). You also have those that are self-focused. Some of that is combined - focused on self means you may have an over-inflated sense of what you can accomplish and how your contributions will be received.

A lot of that is why some young entrepreneurs do go on to actually change the world (and we definitely need those people, although it isn't always for the best). But most that think that's what they are going to do fail a few times, and become more realistic in their views of what they can accomplish.

Sometimes the smarter someone is, the more quickly they can think through the possible results and come to those conclusions that they probably aren't going to be one of the few that does succeed to change the world, and that can (to the overall point here) lead to a sense of sadness and loss, maybe without having gone through the effort and failure, even. Which is a bit sad for everyone, because some percentage of those people probably could succeed if they just got out of their own way and stopped over thinking things, also.
I've been on the other end of law enforcement requests for data, and they were not legally obligated to provide the data right away. They had the option to fight the subpoena.

For example, Twitter fought an attempt to expose somebody mocking Rep Devin Nunes: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/may/18/devin-nunes-...
The post was perfectly fine. Don't be too hard on yourself. It was a minor criticism. I only proffered it because I thought it offered a useful insight. I've noticed many people tend to use this higher abstract language rather than "real" more relateable terms. I tend to do this myself, when I spend countless time editing words only to find it can be more easily said with much more basic language. This is a commonplace, I think.

I’m pretty sure I’m autistic on some level, I can look back on my life and point at the many clear signs (which go well beyond socially awkward behaviour). What I do try to do though is not let that be a part of my identity. I hate identity politics in general, and the title rubbed me the wrong way. Firstly, who even says that? You? Like one person you met, or an article you read somewhere? It’s a pretty outlandish thing to say regardless of who is saying it, so the article feels like you’re basically teeing up and easy ball to hit. Just my thoughts, take them for what you will

wouldn't you be able to do the same even with FK in place?
what FK would prevent you from doing would be deleting a user before all his relationships are removed. That should prevent you to ending up with inconsistent data inside the tables.

I think the issue with the nonlinear road wear taxation is that any fair system would have trucking paying basically 100% of the tax, and that would result in much higher goods transportation costs (I think it’s actually proportional to the 4th power of axle weight). Which I’m personally fine with, I think it’s bad policy to subsidize trucking over trains, but it’d be a big adjustment.
That's the one. Thank you.
I'm in favor of the bill, but the name is stupid, even misleading. The spending is largely good, but it won't have much effect on inflation, if any.
Like other have said, you can store the table types with the ids.

But here's the neat part. That's often only for safety.

If I want to find all users and their orders, I can join the user table to the relationship table, then join that to the order table. Something like:

SELECT <COLUMNS GO HERE>
FROM
USER
INNER JOIN RELATIONSHIP ON USER.Id IN (RELATIONSHIP.LeftId, RELATIONSHIP.RightId)
INNER JOIN ORDER ON ORDER.Id IN (RELATIONSHIP.LeftId, RELATIONSHIP.RightId)

So you're getting the Users. The filtering the ones that have relationships, then filtering that to the ones that also have orders.

If you've ever managed an N:N relationship table, it's like that, but more generic.

> But in this case an obvious solution might be to do what your manager suggests simply because he is your manager.

I hope more Autistic and non-Autistic people don't put up with this kind of argument. I'm sure most people have an example of a manager making a technical decision (many times due to ego) and being wrong and then the engineering team has to clean up the mess. There should at least be room for discussion which in the example given, the manager does not seem to be interested in.
Problem is that in the current situation Russia surrendering would imply a regime change or at the very least very heavy turmoil within Russia. Since this isn't a regime that will let itself get toppled without trying almost everything, there will likely be an escalation before Russian surrender is actually something that is visible on the horizon, which does not bode well for anyone.
Sucks for it to be this way, but having an autocratic regime with imperial ambitions sit on a huge proportion of the world's commodities means you really pay for not appeasing them.

I've used many, Handlebars, Pug, Vue's, Svelte's, Zola's, many. They're all somewhat similar in that they try to recreate loops and conditionals, all without strong type support unlike in JSX. I've never used SGML though, another commenter told me that it is more powerful.
The major organized crime cases of the 70s and 80s were built almost entirely off wiretaps, informants, and a then novel law called RICO which federalized a bunch of former state crimes notably loansharking and gambling and dramatically increased the sentences for those convicted of those crimes. This resulted in dwindling membership and combined with changing demographics is why most mobsters in America are 70-80 years old today.

If anything Italy proves how ineffective these laws are. Every couple of months they announce a 100 million euro Ndrangheta/Camorra related seizure and yet these groups still have thousands of members, still traffic drugs by the ton, and still extort half the businesses in the South.
I just used the Linux CLOC on the C++ files that I wrote.

Yes, I didn't count my 3 dependencies KenLM, Wave, or TensorFlow, because those are used by pretty much all speech recognition projects. For comparing the complexity of my code to Mozilla's DeepSpeech, it makes sense to ignore the LOCs for shared dependencies.
That's a very good point re SAT/SMT. F* (https://www.fstar-lang.org/) has done truly amazing things by making use of them, and it's great to be able to get sophisticated correctness checks while doing basically non of the work.

I'm going to have to go away and think about how one could effectively leverage this in a data setting, but I'd love to hear ideas.
>It's quite clear that TypeScript is going to be around forever. Why don't we just use this syntax for a systems language, and add a few constraints to make it low-level.

This is the essential point of your post, and I'm not completely sure why this can't/can be done. I can certainly name some reasons why it hasn't been done, but the actuality of the concept is separate from this. Nobody in this thread so far has answered your question.

I will say one thing though, if it is done it won't just a "few" constraints. It will be a huge amount of constraints and language feature changes. In the end my prediction is you will get something that is both significantly more challenging to deal with then typescript but simpler then C++.

This is awesome. Thank you for the great work!!!!!
I've done this on two rare occasions: round-tripping 'null' in JSON and 'NULL' in database queries.

My solution, which was perhaps overly cute, was a table canonically named No, which is callable such that No(nil), No(false), and No(No) all return true.

So I could say

if No(value) then

When I needed to do conditional logic which excludes those reified null values, which isn't often.
I configured my kid's tablet to use AdGuard's public DNS

Strange thing, I tried it on my FireTV to block youtube ads, but it didn't work. I wouldn't be surprised if the FireTV monkies around with user settings. The other explanation could be that youtube uses the same hostname for videos and ads, so the DNS blocking can't distinguish.

I ended up side-loading a 3rd party YT client that doesn't play ads. https://smartyoutubetv.github.io/

Clickbait title. It's about walking speed which does not tell us about the running speed.

The article itself cites researchers saying: "the study authors want to incorporate their flexible tail into models of a running T. rex, van Bijlert said. Maximum running speed for a T. rex is thought to be in the range of 10 to 25 mph (16 to 40 km/h), according to Hutchinson."

If someone asks for it, we pay for their time. And we offer to get a sense of how they can code however they want. Take home, virtual pair coding, in-officce pair coding or coding exercises, whatever you want. We just need to see you code in a timeboxed way so we can see how you solve problems and see the results to make sure you write readable, maintainable code.

I have worked with Spring and Spring Boot extensively, and I also don't understand why people like it. It is convenient when it works, but otherwise it's a hindrance. It adds a significant layer of complexity to understanding how an application works, and to debugging.

There's also quite a few new-to-the-industry data engineers who are just starting out (many more than junior DevOps or SRE). It's a decently sized track for people who are graduating with CS degrees and for those who are switching from other fields. And I know quite a few people who started out trying to become data scientists, along the way figured out that they like DE more and stayed there.
So they both played along and now they're saying that they will be forced to play along every single time and there's no way to stop it. This is even worse then them being knowingly complicit.
>In this particular situation, the discussion never got past the first question. I needed to understand why our checkout had to be improved; I explained that technology choices made no difference to the user. However, the manager interpreted my words as outright rejecting their idea.

Well, it was "outright rejecting their idea".

Whatever the phrasing used, the actual question wasn't "Would it be technological better and improve the user experience if we use React for our checkout UI?".

It was rather "I read about this React thing. Sounds cool. Cool companies use it. Should we use it ourselves too and be cool like them?"
> fewer streaming services

Pessimist's take: When thinking about what we trade our time for, TV shows (and films, to some degree) have always been to me an endless source of a time sink for relatively little return. Games, slightly better, more social in some ways, certainly more mentally engaging, but also parasitic of time. To concurrently pay for multiple streaming services is unfathomable to me, moreso right now where, as you point out, your expenses have ballooned and your salary can't keep up. You aren't the only one, and yet it's highly likely (anecdotal experience here) that your friends know more about the last season of a show than they know about how to prep for the looming days, as you are prepping. One would think there's better ways to have downtime than to tune out in front of a box, but these habits are difficult to break.
