Where I am often hung up in comparison is due to age. I dropped out of college and spent my early 20s learning agriculture and construction. Now I work in software engineering and my current manager is younger than me. Not only is he younger than me, but he's been able to climb up to an engineering manager in a shorter amount of time than I've been working as a SWE. So I feel really lame - wasted so much time early in my life and still seem to be wasting time.
Weird!! This is such a strange and fascinating approach to narrative. This is kind of a stretch but…

This reminds me of tabletop RPGs, like D&D (more fixed world, DM-mediated / -adjudicated, there is a single Truth to be learned) vs Old School Renaissance games (randomized outcomes for many interactions, for any number of things in the world). It’s a different attitude towards how the world unfolds: does the world create itself as you discover it (player driven narrative), or do you discover the world that objectively exists?

Something something metaphysics :)

We may have differences in how we define "abstract". Views and SPs encapsulate, but they don't change the difficulty of parameterizing on table name or column name within SQL, for example. No spread operator to say "select the columns from thing X that are going to be inserted into thing Y".

There are so many different ways to abstract aspects for different goals.
I don't think this is related?
The trick is, what people refer to "experience" in the workplace is very strictly defined as workplace experience in your role. But you can get experience from a wide variety of tasks, even ones that don't involve your current career. Working with vendors to organize a convention can prepare you for writing software. Or a volunteer/school software project could prepare you for a paid role, but nevertheless it is not counted.
Those sound like bad managers :/
On the contrary, I view it as a counterexample to "all architectures already exist in the brain for some use or another," which disproves your point. Let's not make the mistake of a fallacy fallacy here!

Perhaps you would like to expound or clarify your point to rule out the edge case of cars not existing in 5000 BC, but the models to derive cars 5000 years later suddenly came into being?
With CORS we can choose from:

1. Apply more specific security appropriate for your use case

2. Put it on the same host

3. Origin *. Teams that do this probably have bigger security problems anyway.

Without CORS, we'd all be stuck choosing between 2 and 3.
I guess the legal question is "was her DNA medical records" or "was her DNA evidence". If it was the former, I'd say she has a case because of HIPAA. If the latter, not so much.

The connection between Gödel and AI made more sense back in the 60's, when people thought AI would look like a formal system proving theorems. Nowadays modern AI techniques are more like a black box of matrix math streaming out sentences, images, and other things without a crisp, logical rationale for it.

Modern AI does not work like it is "proving" things. So, whatever limitations it has, Gödel's theorems aren't too relevant.
Yeah my apprenticeship is kinda special as I am essentially guaranteed a job afterwards, which you can‘t say for every apprenticeship.
Mmm, I think your wording is clunky. Most of the crops that have patents have the patent on biotech trait. You can take a patent on a newly developed crop variety, just like any other _novel_ invention--plants are no different. Also look up the Plant Variety Protection act (1974?), which also provides IP protection for crops.

Without these, it's debatable how much innovation would occur in crops/plants.
The economy still largely runs on hydrocarbons. And the energy market is too competitive for this to work:

'One of Ben’s lowest points came when he was told to fire over 60 people in 2020, a year in which his company made record profits. “Oil and gas companies are making the most money they’ve ever made,” he says, “but where people are demanding more fuel and oil, companies will hold it back, because if they over saturate the market, prices will go down and they’ll lose profits.” In the end, he explains, it’s normal people who pick up the tab – and he no longer wants to be part of that system.'
It's quite a silly movie actually.

There's no need to do that amount of genetic testing to determine a person's potential when the zip code they grew up in will suffice.

I’m almost 50. I worked for myself for about 10 years then I return to government. Between taxes, insurance, business fees and forms, once I hit 45 I swore I would never work for myself again. The freedom is great, but consistency, and someone else managing the numbers and overhead, it’s so much easier.

It’s a terrible choice to make: Freedom versus Security, but I think we deserve both.

Alternative headline from a saner and more practical world: "Europe's drought might force acceptance of landscape-wide rainwater harvesting earthworks." The effectiveness of such earthworks is pretty shocking to witness: -- https://youtu.be/8QUSIJ80n50 "Lessons of the Loess Plateau"

The permaculture folks have been implementing functional solutions to drought for 3 or 4 decades now, repairing large-scale damaged ecosystems and halting desertification. The problem already has a simple effective remedy, and gene-edited crops are a band-aid non-solution that does nothing to change the underlying conditions by which drought is created and perpetuated.

It is widely understood that forests attract/create rainfall (https://academic.oup.com/bioscience/article/59/4/341/346941). Large scale water harvesting earthworks attract/create forests by creating the hydrological conditions amenable to increased vegetative cover. To put it simply, here is what is do be done: an army of people use whatever earth moving equipment they have available (from shovels to machinery) to dig a network of swales and catchments across the landscape, and then plant them with early successional "pioneer" species (sun/drought tolerant, often nitrogen fixing woody shrubs). In 5 to 10 years, the soil will be holding onto to the rain for much longer periods of time , creating the conditions such that longterm forest trees will begin to establish (attracting more rain), and staple crops can be reliably grown. This a proven method, it absolutely works, and it needs to be widely implemented across the globe.

Hopefully this comment get read by the heads of public works agencies of numerous governments in drought affected regions around the world.

Cmd+F to find ‘liability’ and the word only appears once in the very bottom disclaimer explaining that the author does not accept ‘liability’ for anything written.

I guess the topic of who has liability for this financial system, and the cost of that liability, is too unimportant to be worth mentioning?

e.g. In case of a breach of personal information, transaction records, etc., who would be held responsible?
It's definitely slow, but I don't know what else could draw you into the social intimacy that's dissolved with devastating emotions engagement later in the film. There's a tolerance and intimacy established in the first scenes that I believe fuels the culmination of disassociation in self destruction, despair and rage in the numerous infamous scenes I'm uncertain could have had as much impact otherwise. Another theme may arguably be counterpoint between tolerance or understanding of mediocrity and individual desires for inestimable even incomprehensible realization both in terms of ff everything (the simplest contemporary expression become inseparable from New generation post Viet Nam national identity, and seeking private assessment when all meaningful references are lost. These are only some is a frequent contemporary messages conveyed by making seventies filmmakers reflecting a crumbling human infrastructure. It's possible to imagine the contemporary viewer, as I once could, appreciating the establishing scenes as something other than vicarious observation and more akin to a negotiation of sympathy and even solace. Today, I find the same extraordinary and beautified scenes, Cimino foreshadowing Heavens's Gate hubris had the winter location grass and trees decorated with green paint and faux foliage only for color balance, frustrating. We're ostensibly living in economic good times in unremitting contrast, and yet so little seems to have changed. I'm eagerly looking forward to viewing the moment I can discard my present perspective.
I can't really parse your points.

> You speak like that hundred years long continuum is not a major accomplishment in state craft.

The accession of Charles is a major accomplishment, but hardly of "state craft". It's an accomplishment of inherited power backed by incumbent powers-that-be.

Unless you mean the ceremonial aspects are "state craft"? In which case I'd say they're certainly large, complex, and dangerous (terrorist risks etc), but more administration than state craft.

> This is remarkable stability and resistance against a popular Tribune of the plebs.

Not sure I follow. Do you mean resistance against elected representatives? It certainly is remarkable. It's not exactly modern, though, is it?

> Remember that the last US President was asked “Will you really really peacefully transition power?”

Elizabeth hung on until death. Hard to retain power beyond that (although many have tried). It was discussed ad nauseam that she could have stepped down long ago, that the monarchy could have reformed further. I guess reframing the question you quote, and asking Elizabeth or Charles, it might become "will you consider transitioning all your inherited authority to more modern, democratic processes?" But - like Trump, only to a far greater extent - there are thousands of people whose livelihoods and reputations derive from working with the incumbent powers.
The problem is probably in risk vs reward. You have to succeed in at least one lawsuit against John Deere (other countries may have different laws, and thus more lawsuits), and then you have to convince people to buy your third party stuff rather than OEM stuff.

Then on top of that, you have to pray that John Deere doesn't successfully lobby for a law banning your software, or find a way to prevent your software working (i.e. a continual arms race).

The profit is probably there, but I think the cost to get to the profit and the likelihood of failing are both too high to be appealing to investors. Those same investors could just invest in John Deere itself and probably get a better risk-weighted return.
How does it compare with ClickHouse?
I made continuous/discrete distinction more in order to take a jab at people that don't know measure theory and therefore think these approaches can't be unified.
(Though I do know for the record that in some cases, like the ones you mention, there is no overarching, unifying theory.)

Other than that I agree with you with

The dichotomy that you describe needs graduate-level mathematics to be properly understood in the first place.
I'm not sure why (luck?) it seems you are biased by being surrounded by people who are competent at ML and math. I guarantee you that is not the case. If you review for any of the big conferences (e.g. NeurIPS) you will see that really fast. :(
I'm with you on "couple" potentially not being exactly two, though I tend to default to using "few" in such cases. But I can't sign up for "pair" not being exactly two.

Yay language!
Don't forget the "mostly peaceful protests" which of course were not at all associated with lots of "free" money to be idle along with stay-at-home orders that are not consistent with maintaining mental health of the population.

>Competition will ensure that incentives remain more or less balanced between the two options (the less freelancers there are, the more they can charge, and the less full timers there are, the more they will be paid).

I agree that competition prevents one side from being too lopsided, but there's no reason why it would result in a 50-50 split. For instance, if being employed has structural factors that makes it preferred (eg. stability, economies of scale), then you'd expect more people to be employed. Indeed, that's how the broader economy works; the employed/self-employed ratio in the US isn't even close to 50-50.

All browsers (even smartphones) support importing certificate files. The exception are Windows PCs on domain lockdown. Non-corporate-supported browsers might transition to being more friendly to this process instead of the unhelpful and scary SSL warnings provided now.

Phone app traffic that isn't through a browser would be in a rougher situation, but it would be solveable by your major phone app store providers offering their own root certificates. Since there is only Google and Android, any app provider wanting to target all smartphone users would have to get a cert from one of them, and it would probably be rolled into any developer fees and sold as part of a larger security program.

They will not. They will double down. They will develop tooling to shut down just the people they need to to cripple any movement, and if you don't think they will, just look at the U.S.

NATO has more than enough capabilities to destroy Russia's conventional weaponry, but as Russia has nuclear weapons, NATO must also have them to keep parity.

Thank you. Like JOOQ this seems to provide a programming object model for SQL which is a good start. That's my 15-second scan, I look forward to looking further. A good expression model for everything, including non-parameterizable elements of SQL like table names and column names, type signatures for SQL results, is a great start.
> I think this is just so that it can act as an abstraction of an SMB server, because you ought to be able to do a 9P server in userspace with no loss of capabilities...

Correct, 9p file servers can live in user-space. At some point you have to mount the fs which on lunix/unix is done in-kernel.

In plan 9 the kernel is just a VFS that lets you build arbitrary file trees from collections of mounts and binds. On-disk file systems like FAT and EXT are served via user-space programs which open the disk partition (served as a file by sd(3)) and translates the 9p messages to EXT, FAT, etc operations. File servers can also provide synthetic files, e.g. an arduino can serve its io bits and/or internal variables over 9p (ninepea on github written by echoine.)

Since its a VFS all the way down and data moves via two way pipes mapped to fd's you can boot and pull root from ANY 9p server. Don't care if its CWFS, HJFS, FAT, EXT, SMB, SSHFS, NFS, etc. Kernel don't care as long as it sees files through a 9p connection over whatever 2-way medium you are using including rs232. You cant touch that level of flexibility with other operating systems.

Initially it was one developer but it hasn't been just him for quite a while. Nowadays they are a team of more than a dozen I think.

They have poured a lot of work into making their game run efficiently. No matter how much they do that, players will always expand their factory until the CPU cannot keep up.
> "code quality" is not real, it's just something software engineers like to argue about like sports.

While I do agree that many developers sometimes like to argue about "code quality" too much (and I've probably been guilty of that at times), "code quality" is definitely a real thing. I have have interacted with code bases that were a joy to read/modify, and I've interacted with code bases that made you pull your hair out at every turn (and also many levels in-between the extremes). It is not always a case of just "arguing for the sake of arguing".

Those life expectancy numbers are bogus.

Those are derived by making a Markov model where people who are aged N years have a certain probability of surviving to N+1 years otherwise they transition to the "dead" state.

What they do is incorporate the probability that "a person in 2021 survives from 14 to 15" and "a person in 2021 survives from 71 to 72" whereas the person who really survived from 14 to 16 in 2021 is going to survive, if they do from 71 to 72 in 2078.

In the case of a pandemic year this calculation assumes that the pandemic is going to go on forever and have a chance to kill you every year without any acquired immunity, vaccination, the disease going out of circulation, etc.
Not that I necessarily believe in this, but you could imagine e.g. FTC or FCC requiring content-neutrality. In that world, China's asks for censorship go up against US's asks for no censorship. In this current world, China's asks for censorship go up against... employees' personal appetite for losing money (and potentially their jobs) in exchange for a non-China dominated information space?

I couldn't disagree more. In my opinion the golden rules of naming things are:

1. Names must be descriptive.

2. Names must be unambiguous.

3. Names should be no longer than they need to be to achieve #1 and #2.

If your names are becoming less descriptive over time it's because you're not writing well. It's not easy to write well, but that's the job.
Yes, I've learned SQL to an introductory level. I have trouble with different joins and so on, but I haven't spent much time on it. Only studied it in the beginning of the year because I thought I could get a T-SQL job. It's going to be covered by this training anyway, it's used a lot here
