> "I thought it was a widely-known-secret that at least part of the insane hiring of engineers without clear teams, projects, etc for them to work on initially was to prevent individuals working for current-or-potential competitors."

It's widely known among the sort of person who tends to believe in conspiracy theories, I suppose. The oppressive bureaucracy and misaligned incentives that allow senior leaders to destructively compete among themselves is more than enough to explain why ill-conceived and ill-run projects are common at FAANG-level megacorporations without resorting to making things up.

Where are you getting the 10M number? Just curious not a criticism. I was thinking it would be around half of that(5M), with a tenth decent enough to work at most tech companies 500k, I think the bay area has 1M tech workers so half of them are engineers and thats one of the largest cluster of engineering on the planet.
I would say true for most affiliate sites that are just aggregating the available options.

However, there are certainly sites, and perhaps this is one, where there is considerable credibility (actual interest and knowledge), research and effort that I have no problem with the owner being compensated for providing the resource.

Even if just providing a more intuitive and deeper method to narrow down options to fit a narrower use case (which vac has the longest cord!), then there is added value.
It's weird they don't have an embedded video or at least a prominent link to their YouTube channel. Here it is below.

This may not apply to Facebook necessarily, but for many companies, look at their GitHub accounts. So many companies have so many side projects not related to their core business. Hand-waving it away as “attracting developers” can only go so far if you’re not massively profitable.

I wonder how many of us built a large part of careers atop of projects paid for by others? When that spending tightens up, I wonder what the overall picture will look like then.

284 lines of C++ and how many trained weights?

Touting the "low number of lines" on a neural network project seems kind of silly, since the logic is encoded in the weights. Kind of like if I said "Doom in 5 lines of JS", but those 5 lines just downloaded and ran 130kb of WASM

Everything you said here makes the response you put in the blog post even more strange. If you already knew about all of the positive aspects of switching to React in this instance, why on Earth did you start off with "Is our checkout page not performing well?"

Obviously there are also drawbacks, but you immediately started off from an adversarial position as if it was just a completely off the wall idea. Clearly that's not the case.

Every webview on iOS is Safari internally. The issue is if an app presents a webview, they can inject whatever javascript they want. This is what allows frameworks like Ionic to work in the first place, the webview runs the "app" and any interface back to the OS is communicated through a bridge to the native world.
I ride like I'm getting paid for it, but that's just not really the case yet. Though it'll be amazing when some real innovation happens.

Even the highest end technical fabrics don't work very well when it's humid outside, which tends to happen a lot when it's raining.

If you're actually working hard, you'll be covered in your own sweat soon enough. Given the choice i usually just go with the rain instead.

Riding an ebike is a different matter, that's probably entirely doable with current tech.
I think there a few aspects to whether something can be 'interesting' to me with regards to creation (i'm probably missing some):

1. Is the broader topic/activity interesting to me? (interesting in of itself, not for the other reasons listed below)

2. The act of doing is interesting to me in of itself (as opposed to consuming)

3. The act of growth/learning/getting better is interesting to me

4. How good the output of my creation can/will be

5. How will the output be socially valued in a way beneficial to me (whether status/wealth/whatever)

I will say as I've gotten older, I've started to really decrease focus on #5, as I've found it to be the most empty for me (not to say I haven't achieved success there, but it's just a never-ending treadmill when you compare with others).

I try to really focus on #'s 1-3, as they give me the most joy.
A solid product name is important for marketing, to be sure.

However, it's also a way that native English folks prejudice against foreign products that are arguably very useful and valuable.

I'm not saying you're wrong in doing what everyone does and allowing the marketing naming to sway your decision. However, I would gently suggest that you take a more critical approach and evaluate the actual product instead of letting something as simple as naming deter you from using a product.

After all, kubernetes is complicated and stupid sounding, but we can just rebrand it to "Google Cloud" or whatever and people will love it. Same can be done for /e/... they'll just call it "NextPhone" or some other catchy name.

NIST and other government institutes are not known for open source work mainly because most of their work is a combination of science and technology communication. They deal in publications, conferences, and reference datasets. In my industry, NIST and the NIH produce the most important R&D reference datasets in the world, and everyone else looks to them for guidance. With that said, the NIH also occasionally produces world class software too (NCBI BLAST, etc.) although they do have some issues with parts of their software engineering culture being a bit out of date.

Yikes.
I hope Apple doesn't disable JS injection in WKWebViews in response to this. JS injection is the (only?) way to call native Swift methods from JS ie. bridging.

I am not sure what the solution here is. Maybe only allow injection to sites you control (via apple association file).

That doesn’t excuse the actions and behaviors of the invaders who stole these artifacts dozens or hundreds of years before isis was even a thing.

Btw things like isis are a direct consequence of actions taken by the English colonialists when they created artificial boundaries.

And yet, we're normally seeing Apple === BAD because they limit everything to just the one Apple thing. Am I actually seeing requests for Apple to limit willingly?
Ironically the whole point of it originally was sandboxing, and it’s true at least on iOS. Thus, you won’t be logged into the same sites within an in-app browser, and clicking a link from within an app (whether it appears to be an link or not) can’t automatically connect you to cookies and any other tracking from your actual browser.

I don't see why you would have to include the table name. I presume the calling code knows what they are looking for.

For example, say we have a table of people and a table of books and a relationship table books-owned-by. If I want to see what's in your library I can select you in the relationship table and join with the books table to get a record set describing your library. Or is this not what the OP was describing?
That’s just something people said on the internet with no sound basis for it.

> there's nothing in the dark matter hypothesis or observations that necessarily contradicts GR

That is true for the "hypothesis" part, it is not true for the "observations" part. The observations do contradict GR. To be precise, they are at odds with the predictions of GR on the assumption that the universe is made entirely of ordinary matter. So there are two possibilities: 1) GR is wrong, 2) the universe is not made entirely of ordinary matter, i.e. there is "something else", which we call "dark matter". The problem is, there is no evidence for the existence of dark matter other than the observations that are at odds with the predictions of GR, and so the possibility that GR could be wrong still needs to be taken seriously at this point.

My problem is with universal regulatory structures. My problem is when people blindly accept these structures and ignore the cases of people who are at the margins and can not subject to said rules even if they wanted to.
I've often seen a pattern where the database schema devolves into a "classifier" system, although perhaps a combination of EAV (entity attribute value) and OTLT (one true lookup table) would be a more apt descriptor.

Basically, you have tables a bit like these:

- classifier_groups (e.g. product_classifiers, basket_classifiers)
- classifiers (e.g. product_types, discount_types, delivery_methods, payment_methods)
- classifier_values (e.g. regular_product, bid_product, timed_discount, loyalty_discount, postal_delivery, courier_delivery, credit_card, paypal)
- classifier_value_attributes (e.g. product_name, product_weight, product_size, bid_start_date, bid_start_value, discount_start_date, discount_percentage, ...)
- classifier_value_attribute_values (e.g. "Some product name", "0.25 kg", "2022.08.10 09:00", 5 EUR)

Though sometimes the approach folds in on itself and the attributes are classifiers/classifier_values themselves, or JSON is used, or more tables inbetween are used when you need to track where a particular usage is needed (e.g. when you define a template and then have an item that is based on the template but with changed data).

So the end result is that instead of 200 tables you have just a few instead, but the problem is that you can't really figure out what is happening with just foreign keys (especially when you are trying to do the reverse - refer from these classifiers to another table, since clearly you can't have a foreign key there and instead you do the EAV thing, like "link_type"/"link_table_name" and "referenced_id") and oftentimes you can't really use the DB because the enums and other data that you need to be able to write queries is actually stored in the application code.

Regardless of what you call it, the thoughts on the approach, or at least its components seem split, even back in the day:

1) https://tonyandrews.blogspot.com/2004/10/otlt-and-eav-two-bi...

2) (PDF) https://novicksoftware.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Entity...

3) https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/9312...

I've seen some people swear by it, though personally I really dislike it, since any DB schema visualization tool just turns up a black box and a dozen JOINs across these classifier tables will always be less clear than just referencing tables like products, bid_products, timed_discounts, loyalty_discounts etc. So personally, I'd much prefer the 200 tables with foreign keys between them wherever necessary, with really dumb model bindings in the app instead of a bunch of enums, complex service logic and inevitable orphaned data. And yet, somehow people fear the idea of hundreds of table, but would prefer to shove this functionality into bunches of data instead.

(disclaimer: domain is made up so perhaps not the best example, also a proper term for such a pattern escapes my mind at the moment)
Looking at the repo[1], it uses pytorch so you may be able to. Pytorch released GPU acceleration for Apple M1 earlier this year in v1.12. Looking again at the environments.yaml file they require pytorch v1.11 so you might not be able to upgrade without issue.

I find it a little weird and off putting that thierprivate business is having its expansion funded by state funds for coronavirus recovery.

>I agree it's disgusting how the Labour house newspaper and state broadcaster have ignored this.

The "state broadcaster" would presumably be broadcasting material favourable to the state. Perhaps you didn't notice, but Labour has been out of power for a decade.

The Labour house newspaper is generally said to be The Guardian. AFAICT they represent the extreme right of the Labour Party. As such, you'd expect them to be wittering on about crime statistics, and they aren't; so you have a point.

But this isn't a new thing; solving burglaries has been a problem for decades. There's no news here, so move along - BBC and Guardian, there's nothing to report.
I have the same problem.
This is why the the official inflation number is highly manipulated.

I consistently find that people who are unhappy/unsuccessful and also identify as "smart" are generally very good at rationalizing why things don't work out for them in a manner that protects their ego.
People have treated me like a genius wherever I go. I got invited to do research in my freshman year in college. To me being among the best at something isn't very interesting, its just going through the motions, have gone through it many times. It gets boring quick, instead of focusing on one area I just went into new ones because it isn't fun to be among the best. But that gets tiring as well. Made lots of money working for Google, so now I don't even have a good reason to work so quit and spent time just learning whatever and now I don't have anything left I care to learn really.

Not sure what to do, maybe people who learn faster run out of things to learn faster and therefore aren't as happy? I can see life being much more interesting if you learn much slower, since then there are more interesting stuff left to explore. Basically, the better you are at predicting stories the more boring movies and books will be, etc.
The key aspect here is that Instagram's app is using a Safari Webview but somehow it is injecting its own tracking pixel on the HTML body wether the target website had it or not.

Which honestly does not surprise me, what surprises me is that Apple allows this. I think there was a time where certain Javascript capabilities were present in Safari but not in Safari Webview and there was certain outrage.

Perhaps a solution would be to run the webview through Safaris content blocker engine?
Do you want to cripple the entire app industry? Apps built using React Nativ / Flutter e.t.c use the WebView to render themselves. So they’re basically already running “in-app browsers”

But then how do you differentiate when the app is rendering its own view rather than another website? You could apply some restrictions like <iFrame> has nowadays where you need extra security privileges (I think) to render pages / execute scripts not on the same domain

Otherwise you can always open safari from all of these in-app browser views and they could implement a toggle which forces all of them to be opened in Safari automatically

>the Stratocaster was the successor to the Telecaster - but in my opinion, I think the Telecaster is the superior guitar.

Telecaster flaws:

1. Ashtray bridge is uncomfortable for muting due to the sharp edge.

2. Setting intonation is a pain because each brass saddle covers two strings.

3. The lack of smooth comfort curves (and even modern teles that have curves are not as comfortable as a strat).

4. The body design adds a lot of unnecessary weight.

5. Standard pickup set is tonally limited.

6. Lack of a trem eliminates several playing styles.

Strats have their flaws too, but no where near as many as the tele IMO.

>Just take a look at all of the guitars players over the last 15 years or so have re-discovered the Telecaster.

The paths of nostalgia don't indicate technical superiority.

"...it is a risky business for a senior politician to put on public record an estimate of future events which, if wide of the mark, would provide ammunition to his adversaries. Similarly, a President who announces specific policy goals affords the public a measure of his failure if he falls short of his hopes. Hence it is common practice for officials to define foreign policy goals in the broad generalities of peace, prosperity, cooperation, and good will—unimpeachable as ideals but of little use in determining the specific objective we are likely to pursue and the time, place, and intensity of our efforts"

Maxwell Taylor quoted here: https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/ADA486290.pdf

the problem you're alluding to isn't new: political leaders aren't likely to make the clear statement of aims you want them to make (see the quote). You should consider the fact that they might not make a clear statement, but 100% could still could be the goal.

My view is that the original ground scheme of maneuver (a strike at kyiv) points to a goal of replacing the ukrainian government with a russian puppet government, essentially a "100%" or unlimited war aim.
Not as much of a dunk as you think. For some reason we take it for granted that all electronic financial activity must be logged and monitored. Things could have easily gone the same for all electronic communication, and the people arguing against encryption used the same exact arguments as the people arguing against financial privacy in this thread. That is what my sarcastic comment, and your comment illustrate.

Your theory and the theory you are replying to are indistinguishable for an outside observer: big player with hiring power and hubris compete for employees; in one case it is companies and in the other it is managers.
