Context is often missing. Or basically, the four quadrant. People often talk about the known knowns, known unknowns and unknown unknowns, but most people forget the ( possibly most important one ), unknown knowns. And because the expert practitioner didn't even known they know ( something that they think is obvious but didn't know others have no idea ), it is hard for them to teach.

Unlike in Universities, where each student are given the same resources for them to read through and progress, most of the teaching in real world ( non-academic settings ) does not ofter the same path.

And without those foundational knowledge, a lot of discussions would be broken because the assumption of you knowing is untrue. For example, half of the software developers have absolutely zero idea how computer works. But they somehow think they do, as witness in the recent HN discussions. This makes teaching and discussions on a subject enormously difficult.

Edit: OH this is great. I just discovered there is a term for it in the comment below. The curse of knowledge.

Polish in birth and in spirit, a Soviet writer by location duing his more productive years:

> Lem was born in 1921 in Lwów, interwar Poland (now Lviv, Ukraine)

> In 1945, Lwow was annexed into the Soviet Ukraine, and the family, along with many other Polish citizens, was resettled to Kraków, where Lem, at his father's insistence, took up medical studies at the Jagiellonian University.

> After the war, under the Polish People's Republic (officially declared in 1952), the intellectual and academic community of Kraków came under complete political control. The universities were soon deprived of printing rights and autonomy.[79] The Stalinist government of Poland ordered the construction of the country's largest steel mill in the newly-created suburb of Nowa Huta.[80] The creation of the giant Lenin Steelworks (now Sendzimir Steelworks owned by Mittal) sealed Kraków's transformation from a university city into an industrial centre.

It's a stretch, but not by much, to consider Lem as someone who spent time under the Soviet umbrella.

It's not even that pilots are a minority and that's why no one cares. It's that most air travel is commercial, and nobody cares if someone can see where exact UAL123 is at this moment. Nobody feels bad for some millionaire's private jet getting tracked, nobody feels bad for some expensive charter plane with $15k tickets getting tracked, and the only thing left is small GA aircraft, which nobody care about at all.

The pearl clutching from some pilots (not accusing you of this) around aircraft tracking, ADSB, etc., seems exceptionally silly to me.
>Not at all, just that the "men are victims of violence too" whiney bullshit is not a useful conversation when talking about violence toward women by men.

Is it? I don't know. Surely it depends on the particular conversation. If the topic of the conversation is "since women are victims of violence from men, men who are accused of committing violence against women should be guilty until proven innocent", then I don't think it's irrelevant that men also suffer violence.
The difference is that "person went from airport X to airport Y" is WAY less private than, say "person went to Planned Parenthood clinic" or "person parked in front of union"
Things I wish I knew when I started with AWS [video]
Did you know that using 3 Availability Zones (AZs) on AWS can be lower cost than using 2 AZs? Do you know how to fortify your root credentials, even anticipating a case where you'd lose access to your password or MFA token? Did you know most basic AWS security controls are incredibly low cost and suitable for personal accounts with bills less than $1 a month? This and more in this 29 minutes Youtube video.
From the general tone of the rest of the comment, it's likely they're referring to actions taken adjacent to the Black Lives Matter protests which were depicted in some news media as being like a war zone. Oddly, none of the cities today look like, I don't know, Ukraine. But some people will make mountains from molehills.
> Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - adjusting expectations is a big thing. "I should have X, Y, Z" or "I used to be able to ..." is replaced with "I do, right now, have a, b, c". This isn't something that can be done in an instant, it can take years. Don't beat yourself up, you are what you are. Other people are what they are.

There is a book called "The Now Habit" which is quite helpful.

Ideally I would love having a local office for occasional in person meetings, social events, etc. In addition, I'd like to have se.coworkers in the same city as coworkers often become friends.

Sue others or the government. A right without a remedy isn't really a useful right.
That's kind of our playbook, right?
I mean, it makes sense.

If you have the "right" to $THING, but you have no redress if someone denies you $THING, you don't really have a right to it.
I agree. I'm not sure how the other fields are, but in the data universe things are going nuts. Too many new tools, algorithms, frameworks, dataviz apps, its crazy. Most of the time, we spent 2-5 days to properly learn some new tool for 1 job and then never look at it again. That's frustrating.
That's not quite the case.

Things like FIDO Yubikey are basically a password unlocked by biometric information so someone needs the key AND your biometric information to unlock it. Even if someone knew your "biometric" information, they would still need the key.
Of course its "hard", if it was trivial nobody would pay you to do it. And you are right, the skillset is different from pure dev. However, you don't need a "sales org" to do it. Plenty of people do it by themselves or in a small company of a couple devs and an administrative assistant.
> The way a function is declares looks just like a variable assignment for instance, but in a compiled language it pushes the wrong paradigm on me, since that's pretty much immutable.

I think one of the problems with the syntax is that colon (ordinary used for type ascription in ML-family languages) is being used for... something else. For example, in

foo: (x: int) -> int = (expression using x)

the introduction of the 'x' binding is in the type position of 'foo', whereas in OCaml it would be

let foo (x: int): int = ...

Here the binding of 'x' is associated to 'foo' rather than first appearing in type position. I think this is more readable, and the component parts are more easily parsed by humans. One could argue that visually, using an arrow as in

let foo (x: int) -> int = ...

is more readable, but the OCaml syntax captures the fact that the RHS of the binding is defining an 'int' rather than a function value.

> I must admit that I'm mostly writing Python and JS these days, but the way the colon is being used feels grossly inconsistent and confusing. Why not say std.vector for instance now instead of std::vector?)

One potential sensible distinction would be to use one for statically determined paths and the other for dynamically determined paths (including the separate dynamic phase of compile-time constexpr evaluation).
My own experience has been that upper level executives are the most frequent job hoppers.
Sure.

But just because there was {a lot of work to replace all uses of pi with tau} doesn't mean there wasn't {a lot of work to replace all approximate uses of pi with approximate uses of tau in computer programs}.
Similar to my experience. It's a fun little stopwatch that you have to charge every day, multiple times per day.

Apple support is friendly, but terrible.
For violating those rights? Yeah, I would think so...
I wonder about page 56, should it be a 1 MHz 6502? I think the 6502 was a lot faster than the z80 on a per-cycle basis (often hearing a factor of four).
Uh, what? Whether someone is capable of doing a job is totally up to the employer. Yes, one has to self assess to an extent and apply to realistic roles, but for the most part the blame doesn't lie on the individual. A senior position at one role may mean something totally different from a senior position at another company. Is it really someone's fault that they were a senior engineer at BrownGrassCo and applied for a senior position at GreenGrassCo only to find out that their definition of "senior" more closely resembles something like a team lead with managerial tasks their previous position didn't involve at all?
> Truss we are seeing tax cuts for the rich funded by borrowing which is an economic policy that I’m not sure has a name because it’s so stupid

So far the government has announced income tax and NI reduction for everyone, removal of the 45% income tax rate, and cancellation of a plan corporation tax increase.

Only the removal of the 45% income tax rate is targeted at the rich and I suspect that this might be the cheapest of the 3 measures, but indeed symbolically it does not look that good.
Because anyone who offers a contrary opinion is automatically a loon.
Got a reference for what that looks like with current notation? The internet is basically just showing the starting equation and ending equation and skipping all the intermediaries.
DRN Built a Private Surveillance Network. We Tracked Someone with It
The US automotive industry started their metric push in the 1970s, and was mostly done in the 1980s for everything new. There are still a few parts from the 1960s and before that work just fine and so haven't been redesigned (and thus the bracket it goes on in a mix), but if there was ever need to redesign that part it would be all metric.
Major Audacity update makes it a much better audio production tool
What you’re describing is the industry fad phrase “zero trust,” where the industry as a whole is shifting towards untrusted endpoints and networks with proper access control on every layer.

I think the shift away from trusted networks is long overdue and inevitable not only thanks to the needs of engineers and other employees, but especially since endpoints (and employees!) are so easily compromised anyway.

There’s a reasonable case to still block encrypted overlay networks from a defense in depth standpoint, since they could make detecting a compromise harder, but I think that at some point most places will stop bothering and shift towards monitoring systems instead of the network as well.
Very nice.

In your example images on the homepage: the second diagram for CMaj shows the bar for the first finger behind 2 3 4, nicely showing that the first finger is pressing down on the strings, even though it's not actually affecting the 2nd, 3rd and 4th strings.

In the third diagram, the bar for the first finger just covers the 2nd, 3rd, 4th strings, and doesn't cover the 5th. A beginner might interpret this as their index finger shouldn't press on the 5th string, but this would be very hard.
I used to do this a lot.

It may look a little clunky, but there is a piece of software called JMeter (https://jmeter.apache.org/) that is capable of doing just about anything you would want to do in a load test - modeling any request behavior, distributed traffic, awesome reports, etc.

10/10 recommend.

>If you don't think the excessively high number of america-hating americans is concerning, then I don't know what to say.

The higher number of American citizens who have absolutely no idea the magnitude of the crimes against humanity and war crimes being committed in their name is a far, far greater concern.

As is the number of American citizens who are willing to justify those crimes as long as they remain the recipients of the related war treasure.

These figures are of a much greater threat to American military-industrial 'security' than any other statistic, since its not just American's who will pay the ultimate price.
GPL is still a questionable choice for anything that can be turned into a SAAS app. Remember if you dont distribute the binary, you dont have to distribute sources.
I suspect the computing and communication parts of a project like this are by far the easiest bits.

Weatherproofing the camera and solar panels, getting permission to get them installed, actually installing them (working at heights over busy roads) and then maintaining them would be pretty expensive. You might also have to pay rent to whoever owns gantries, and what about locations where there aren't any existing gantries?

What about insurance in case you camera falls off the gantry onto a car and kills someone?

Edit: What about roads that don't have network coverage (not that uncommon in the Scottish Highlands)
that's great to hear. thought it was going to be locked behind enterprise door.
They even spend about as much specifically on socialised medicine as the UK. They just don't receive the benefits of it.
Well I don't think they are. Sure they make computing the function simpler. But I would hazard that most people that use these functions are not doing geometry and they are already working with radians. In short if you give any kind of engineer working on any kind of signal processing domain a sine function where sin(1) = 0 you are only going to confuse them.

PS: that's why mathematicians don't use turns they are mostly not doing geometry and radians in that case typically make for better formulas.
Learning is memory, in a sense. More broadly learning the the physical structure that process leaves on your brain. When you truly learn, you do less remembering and more simulating. The process of simulating actions (multi-step addition algorithms in elementary school or wrote memorization of math-facts) is the process that changes the structure of your mind that isn't dependent on "memorization".
100 ksecs works out to roughly 27 hours. That's a bit long for a day, but probably not too infeasible to adapt to.

"Senior" doesn't even mean the same thing from tech company to tech company. Couple that with misleading job postings and responses to question in the interview process and you're almost flipping a coin with the kind of employee experience you'll actually be getting for a role.
Saying "rad" are bad units for sin is like saying e is a bad base for logarithms.

The only "bad" thing about rads is that they're not taught early enough so that culturally 45 degrees are not know as pi/4. Then a turn would be known as simply as 2pi (or "a one eighty" as Americans infuriatingly like to call it when someone rotates 360 about themselves)
> Am I wrong?

Yes. Trigonometry is extensively taught in the US. People forget this stuff if they don’t use it.

Ask some 30 year old chef in whatever country you fantasize teaches properly to compare and contrast turns vs radians and you’ll get similar responses.
Thanks for the link. It had another interesting fact:

> In 1978, the UN recommended that Monday be made the first day of the week in most countries. It was established in 1988, according to ISO 8601, an international standard for exchange and communication of date and time-related data.

I’m really curious about why the UN made that decision. Is this the primary reason so many countries now consider Monday the first day?

And in any loud, crowded room (say at a conference, or a pub/bar after work), women and quieter men will struggle to be heard at all. Men with loud deep voices will dominate the conversation automatically. This probably has more impact on professional development than people think.
Cannot overstate the significance and value of documentation.
1° is actually 0.0174... radians. 1 radian is 57.295...°. The choice of unit to specify an angle is arbitrary.
Well, the same case exists the other way around: Companies using stuff that in theory just """works"""™ that is painful and clearly not the best choice but still using it for lack of knowledge, corporate folklore, someone with ego and power decided it or any combination of the previous.

yeah, but one could lead the time explanation with that. the alien sure picked an uninformed chap to learn about time.
In my experience, it's the gap in understanding. To someone with 10+ years experience, certain motes of knowledge might be long-worn givens, where to a beginner it could be groundbreaking wisdom. Without proper introspection, it can be difficult to correctly identify "What doesn't a beginner in this field know?"

He wasn't making an argument. He was simply putting the latest news in some context and saying there's no reason to panic. A position a number of other environmentalists have arrived at as well. A perfectly sane position.
I mean alternatively they wouldn't have had those jobs and i think the team hired on hope of sustained growth.

If we always hired on expectations of layoffs (which i believe were incredibly generous from news reports) your current staff would be be beyond burnt out.

I don't know that we necessarily consider Sunday first in any way except in the default / traditional presentation of weeks in calendars -- which is to say, it's a visual thing but not something that seems to impact work or life in any meaningful sense. I think pretty much all calendaring programs can show Monday as the first day if you prefer.

As for marketing tools, don't get me started, a lot of them I find morally unpleasant (well, the ones that provide leads for a fee, which are mostly obtained indirectly without consent or knowledge)

I think lots of people think that if there is a tool, they must use it instead of Excel/OpenOffice whatever at $30/person/month just because it is a bit nicer.

Last year a few months after confinment I went on vacation and while I was having a break in a too expensive restaurant in the Geneve airport something weird was going on but I couldn't tell what. An hour later it hit me, all these people around me were good looking and outright elegant. Most of them were doing business.

A lot of studies shows that indeed good looking people does have better odds in the traditional success game.
