Somewhere there's a Venn diagram that shows a small circle of great developers, and a large circle of people who are blogging about how to be great. The two circles barely overlap. That said, I've seen many a coach who was not a great player produce great players... and many a professor who toils in anonymity produce students that become experts in their fields...
I'm not saying Bush didn't say that because I don't know, I can believe it. But it seems odd because 1) Gog and Magog are a somewhat well know part of Islamic eschatology, and 2) I pretty sure Google existed at that point in time, but without it I am sure his staff had access to dictionaries and encyclopedias which would have led them to 3) Encyclopedia or web entries on Darbyism or Dispensationalism, easily answering their questions.

France's Ministry of Foreign affairs isn't advising the President on things like this, they don't have subject matter experts? Forgive me, maybe I give governments too much credit or, but seems like an odd article.
The irony is, that by now the palestinians could be rich, if they would have poured all in education and becoming basically a programming offshore nation for israel. You can not destroy code and if you are industrious, you can IP buyout even your enemies. Singapor comes to mind.

Add energy there, as the root of the coming scarcity of both. Almost criminal how we have let ourselves become in the verge of energy poor.
Consider this set of ideas -- made up right now, on the spot -- as potential answers to the question "How to be a great developer?":

-- Practice code

-- Read code

-- Read ideas about what makes good code

-- Write about what makes code good, try to practice the principles

-- Try different languages, especially ones that are different from the ones you first learn (i.e. functional if you learned procedural, object oriented, and of course Prolog)

What is wrong with these suggestions? Do you believe they will make you a great programmer?

Well, yes, these are great suggestions but the problem is:

1. They are self evident

2. They take a lot of time

What is missing is the tradeoff. If you just tell people all the ways to practice, then you aren't really giving them information. Its not false, and I don't have to be a great programmer to render this simple advice.
I'll go so far as to say that lots of people do check the zipper when buying any clothes with a zipper, and usually put it back if it isn't YKK. I picked up this habit decades ago shopping with my mom and great aunt, but they acted like it was common knowledge. In years since I've met others who do the same. In my experience, most zippers that don't say YKK will break within a couple of years - backpacks or not.

What you could do has so little bearing over what is actually being done. Especially since a rule banning misuse is better than banning an entire technology over a single potential use case.

In a similar vein, in November 2021, a law was passed in France to disallow some domestic flights where the same destination can be reached by train in 2.5 hours or less.

No idea what it did concretely. There's a big carve out for flights that are taken mostly by people traveling to further destinations.

Disclaimer: I work at Meta. I don't work on Velox, but my work intersects with Velox in multiple ways.

The short answer is consistent semantics. We have a large data warehouse, and several different engines that query that data warehouse. We want, as much as possible, consistent semantics across all of our engines for our users. That is, as much as possible, we want the same query to produce the same results on different surfaces. The value of that is so that users can draft a query on one surface, and use that same query elsewhere with confidence that they will get the same results. If we can consolidate on the same execution engine inside of our query engines, we can achieve that.

Minor quibble on terminology: "Velox knows how to retrieve data from your database". I would instead say that Velox knows how to retrieve data from your storage. Velox is deeply integrated into the query engine, and the combination of the query engine and the storage is "the database." In large data warehouses, we've already separated storage from compute to achieve scalability.

If this is all too abstract, think of this way: your query engine (such as Presto) is like a full computer system, while Velox is like the processor. Processors, by themselves, are not useful. They need to be attached to a motherboard which has RAM and connections to hard drives, GPUs and other external devices. Your query engine is like the computer system that contains that motherboard and all the components connected to it. There's enormous value in having multiple computer systems with different capabilities, but using the same kind of processor: you get consistent behavior when the capabilities are the same. Velox is that processor, ready to be plugged into different query engines.
Based on those observations, the exoplanet appears to be about 70% larger than Earth with just five times its mass. That means it’s less dense than Earth

Seems like a rather large leap to go from that to "it's a water world", at least in these days where we get a "this new exoplanet may be covered in water!" headline every few months.
Isn’t that because beforehand the city was surrounded and the population displaced. Then a lot of people who stayed behind were automatically counted as insurgents irregardless of why they stayed. And you also ignore the incredible destruction of civilian property during the course of the battle.

So... does Qualcomm have an architectural license, or one that only covers pre-designed cores?

If they don't have the special ARM license that lets you design your own compatible cores, then this case seems like a slam dunk for ARM.

However, if they do have that license, then the only objections I can see are either...

- Nuvia's license should terminate so that ARM can renegotiate with Qualcomm for whatever fields of endeavor aren't covered by Qualcomm's existing agreement

- ARM does not believe architectural licensees should be able to transfer technology amongst one another

The former seems reasonable, but Qualcomm already pays a lot of money for licenses in ARM's major markets already. I'm not sure what more they could justify here. The latter would be absolutely insane and toxic to the overall ARM ecosystem.
I'm not entirely sure what you are asking but I'm guessing it has something to do with how do you validate whether what you learned is correct or not.

I consider myself something of a self-learner and I always find some way to put what I learn into practice. Sometimes that means building something, physical or virtual, either one works. Sometimes that means discussing it with an expert.

Nothing teaches where you are misinformed or lack understanding like putting your knowledge into practice.

Lua-Resty-Inspect
It's useful to set arbitrary breakpoint in any lua file to inspect the context infomation, e.g. print local variables if some condition satisfied.

In this way, you don't need to modify the source codes of your project, and just get diagnose infomation on demand, i.e. dynamic logging.

This library supports setting breakpoints within both interpretd function and jit compiled function. The breakpoint could be at any position within the function. The function could be global/local/module/ananymous.

Features:

set breakpoint at any position

dynamic breakpoint

Customized breakpoint handler

you could define one-shot breakpoint

work for jit compiled function

if function reference specified, then performance impact is only bound to that function

if all breakpoints deleted, jit could recover
> Chesterton's Fence at all: before you criticize let alone dismantle regulation, you should be able to demonstrate a sound understanding of why it came to exist in the first place

It's not the individual regulations themselves, it's the mass of regulations that's slowing things down. I'm sure SF has a ton of regulations around building housing. You can point to each rule and give a very good reason for why that rule is there. In fact you can go through the entire list of hoops developers go through the justify every single hoop.

And now you have an apartment building that's built to the standards that everyone agrees on, except there's just one problem, no one can afford it.

And that's the larger issue. All these regulations individually and on the surface to a service to the community by making sure that X or Y edge case never comes up. But they do arguably a massive disservice to the community by driving away affordable housing and business.

They have a nice presentation with various charts and such which is where I get this info myself. I don’t know if it’s online. I forget how I got it when I was in school but now the people who come visit from the development office bring it with them because they know I’m interested.
Containerization also helps the trend. Previously, you manage JVM runtime separately in your cluster and the deployment becomes simpler (just deploy the jars). Without containerization, maintaining separate runtime dependencies for compiled language is not as smooth. But containerization changed the equation. Now you deploy runtime dependencies along side your binary (if needed). It is actually a liability to deploy JVM runtime along side your jars now (actually, can you deploy java container images with JVM on the machine?)

Real estate is a huge factor in this. How many different sized venues are there and who controls them? If they're all run by Ticketmaster, you're only going to get Live Nation acts. If there's only a football stadium and few/no independent small or medium sized clubs, where are these interesting, but niche acts going to perform?

Colleges tend to always have a diverse set of buildings, small theaters/bars/basements, mid sized basketball arenas/clubs, big stadiums and can mostly book who they (or the students) want.
No need for this kind of discourse. Just give them the cities.

The Taiwanese company was bought out by another company who is focusing on their own products. The original company had megapro as a long time customer which is why LTT used them initially.

Originally company isn’t the issue. The new company is who screwed over LTT. But we don’t know who the new company is.
> but it’s clearly not the union with which the employer has an agreement.

What do you mean? This is the agreement:
https://sp.ltc.gov.on.ca/sites/mol/drs/ca/Real%20Estate%20an...

I’ve already linked to it. There is, in fact, a union. That union is, in fact, “the Union” referred to in the Labour Relations Board decision. But, you’re right, there is actually no court order yet. The Board filed their decision with the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta.

I think what’s happening here is that the company probably wants the strike to be considered an official union action (requiring a vote to strike) so that the company can then take action (for example, labor law in Alberta might permit them to permanently terminate all striking workers without paying unemployment).
I can't imagine that a contract between Nuvia and ARM namedropped Qualcomm instead of simply stating that a transfer of license and work under that license requires consent of ARM.

Why do people have such a false, cartoon-like, impression of what actual historical fascist movements did?

But you're right, it's much more important that he killed people:

> Fascist squads, militias inspired by Mussolini but often created by local leaders, swept through the countryside of the Po Valley and the Puglian plains, rounded up Socialists, burned down union and party offices, and terrorized the local population. Hundreds of radicals were humiliated, beaten, or killed. In late 1920, the Blackshirt squads, often with the direct help of landowners, began to attack local government institutions and prevent left-wing administrations from taking power. Mussolini encouraged the squads—although he soon tried to control them—and organized similar raids in and around Milan. By late 1921, the Fascists controlled large parts of Italy, and the left, in part because of its failures during the postwar years, had all but collapsed. The government, dominated by middle-class Liberals, did little to combat this lawlessness, both through weak political will and a desire to see the mainly working-class left defeated. As the Fascist movement built a broad base of support around the powerful ideas of nationalism and anti-Bolshevism, Mussolini began planning to seize power at the national level.
Most of the apps on my phone could've been a simple PWA. We need better design and UX for improving communication to the end users in order to make PWA's more discoverable.
> this seems a bit of a radical step to suspend Nuvia's license and ask that all their design IP be destroyed

My understanding is that they are targeting design work that took place after Nuvia's license was terminated.

>Arm terminated Nuvia’s licenses in March 2022. Instead of getting a new license, Nuvia and Qualcomm continued to develop processors based on the Phoenix core, which is a breach of license agreements, according to Arm.

I don't think it's difficult, in the sense in which network security, or compiler design, or composing orchestral music are difficult. It can be complicated, because there are a lot of moving parts. And because your service is going to deal with many other services that are not under your control, and which you probably never heard of, there are submerged rocks that you can stub your toe on.

If you get your ducks lined up first (good domain, clean hosting etc.), then setting up a mailserver can be pretty much a cookie-cutter exercise. There are practical challenges, but no part of setting up a mailserver is technically hard.

> his major credentials come from having built 3d game engines, which by today's standards are quite primitive

Primitive now but in their time they were groundbreaking and incredibly difficult to make work on the primitive hardware of the time and he kept pushing the envelope for a long time. Carmack is a bit of a genius, but that doesn’t mean he’s right about AGI. My own take is that actual General Intelligence may rely on any physical phenomenon from the macro to quantum effects including aspects of reality we don’t know about yet. It’s really hard to simulate things when you don’t know they’re involved. We won’t know until we try so I guess we’ll see what happens.
If CO2 reduction was the only goal, then yes, that would be a very steep number. That's obviously not the case though.
Out of curiosity I checked it a bit deeper - The ICE has 6 stops, while the TGV only stops once.

Spiegel also has an article about these exact two trains[0]. To summarize, in Germany the trains have a couple dozen kilometers where they're allowed to go faster than 160kp/h, in France the TGV travels at around 320kp/h for quite some time.

Considering all this it's not that surprising that the TGV is that much faster.

Apparently the problem is that the fast trains in Germany have to share the tracks with the slower trains, in France and Japan as an example they apparently have their own tracks.

I don't think these points have been proven as decisively as you feel. Whether it was verified or not, the provenance of a work of art has a significant effect on how a viewer receives it. So much of why the Mona Lisa matters is because of the cultural lore around it. People don't flock to it because of the wavelengths of light coming off of it, or its physical dimensions.

I have a hard time imagining the same kind of mythology building around most AI work, at the moment, largely due to the low marginal cost of production.

In the case of the state fair, the judges didn't know that AI had participated in the construction of the art. I would argue that a fair evaluation would require being honest about how it was made. It may have resonated with the judges because they were impressed that a human being used a digital tablet in Photoshop to produce these pixels, the implicit assumption they made when they evaluated it.

Even if there is human ingenuity involved in creating visual hints and writing prompts, a judge will need to understand that process in order to properly appreciate that. We can advocate for philosophies of art that consider only the final product, but this doesn't mesh with how people empirically relate to art.
I think PWA and "packaged" versions in app stores are absolutely the right route for a significant majority of apps. Obviously anything "game like", apps that needs extensive native features or is incredibly performance critical would be better as a native app. However so many apps are just a version of the web experience anyway, whether it's a content consumption app, something like an online sore, or a business/enterprise data app.

The old thoughts about the performance of PWAs and apps built with PhoneGap/Cordova are complexity superseded now. The performance of webkit/blink on mobile devices is so impressive a well made app will be indistinguishable from a native mobile app.

If you are looking at packaging a PWA for app stores take a look at PWABuilder (https://www.pwabuilder.com) and Capacitor (https://capacitorjs.com). I particularly like Capacitor as it is so extendable, you can easily have extra functionality using native features for your packaged app. Combine Capacitor with NativeScript (https://capacitor.nativescript.org/introduction.html) and you have one codebase in one language (JS or TypeScript) that covers all your font end, on all platforms, including all native apis.

Packaging a PWA for app stores is also the best way to make them discoverable right now - he majority of users will default to looking there.

On top of that, with WASM you can increasingly use things such as SQLite (https://sql.js.org/) as you local datastore for PWAs and then, with Capacitor, use native SQLite for the packaged version, unifying your entire front end.
