I'm a fan of these types of visas becoming more popular, I have been in the position of wanting to work remote abroad in the past and have never been able to legally make it happen. unfortunately I still haven't been able to qualify for any of these remote visas yet, but maybe one day there will be a visa that is simply "come live here", and not have things like "company you work for must service a large portion of their income from our country"
Being aware of cognitive biases doesn't render you immune to them. Others shape and inform our beliefs about the world just as our own experiences do.

You might be a "rational, fully self-realized, and atomized" individual but your behaviors and thoughts are certainly influenced by those around you. Here's a simple example: https://dictionary.apa.org/social-facilitation

I'm not sure you read what I wrote. At no point did I say to bathe, or in fact proffer any treatment at all for body odor. I merely pointed out that refusing to deal with it when you're in close quarters with a large number of people is antisocial. If somehow wallowing in mud treats it for someone, then that's what they should be doing. The problem is knowing how to solve it and refusing to do so.

I passed through London on my way to and from Barcelona in 2008. I've been riding public transit since I was 8 years old, but this was my first time outside the USA. Of course TFL is legendary and I absolutely fell in love at first sight with the Tube.

I took a few detours just for fun, to see different stations and have a sort of Harry Potter experience. My hotel was two blocks from Paddington Station, but I was unaware of the enormous Paddington Bear monument.

I found it totally simple to purchase tickets as soon as I'd alighted at Gatwick. I hopped on a train going into the city and I immediately began to chat with a local. We crossed a large body of water on a bridge and I did a double-take. "Was that the Thames?" Yep!

I didn't have a lot of time or destinations in London. Just a few restaurants and my hotel. But I'd arrived at Gatwick and I was departing from Heathrow, so that made for a rail adventure. I didn't venture outside the city, and I didn't ride any double-decker buses or hansom cabs.

I think I'd done a bit of research stateside before I departed for the trip. I found the route maps and station signage easy to read; of course since I'm a fluent speaker of the King's English.

I rode a few local train lines with my fiancee in Barcelona, and I'm thankful that she acted as my guide. I would've enjoyed taking an AVE to another city center, but those are far-flung in Spain!

Interestingly enough, 2008 was the year that my hometown established light rail service. When I left for Spain, there was no train in Phoenix; when I arrived home, there was daily train service running through town, and I immediately became a regular!

In Arabic, Sunday is Ahad (first) Monday is Ithnain (second) and so on until Friday which is Jum’a (gathering) and Sabit (comes from Sabbath I think?) as Saturday.

So the US is not the only country that considers Sunday to be the first day, etymologically speaking. I think the first day in the Middle East is Saturday because people work on that day (on Friday is a day off, unless things changed since the 70s)

Totally, it used to be a right of passage. You'd get your first job and (usually share) a copy of the machinerys handbook, and a yellow mcmaster book. I used to keep at least one at home long into the days where you don't need it anymore "just in case the internet goes down". It was those 2 books, the pemn 3 ring binder, and the ryerson catalog to know what mill sizes there were in what metals.
You're talking to Tobi.

>> As the climate doesn't care about man-made boundaries, isn't that all the more reason gauge emissions on a per-capita basis, without reference to borders?

> How do you do that? Measuring per-capita can't be done without drawing a border somewhere. Split it up by income?

Possibly by income, but there are other options. Other than being impractical (and possibly suggesting individuals are freer to vary their emissions unilaterally than they actually are), we could in theory actually measure individual emissions. How about measuring per-capita emissions regionally, and with regions sub-divided by population density?

This is typically the problem with silver bullet solutions. You can easily look at the solution that’s been in place for decades and see where it fails, because you have decades of data to look at. You look at your new shiny solution, and you can see that it solves all of those problems. What you can’t see, because you don’t have decades of data to look at, are all the new problems that will come up with the new solution. You’ll notice some of them, and you can try to patch over them, but you’re bound to miss a lot.

Which isn’t to say that you shouldn’t go with the new solution anyway. But I’m always skeptical when all people say is “it solves all the existing problems.”

I think one cannot understand the usefulness of mainframes without adding data integrity to the picture.

Let's take a bank or an insurance company. For them, data integrity is of utmost importance. If you miscalculate bank account balance or insurance payment by one dollar, you erode trust, which is the most important asset they have.

You will have data in multiple systems, none of which have the complete picture of all the data. So you need data integrity over multiple systems.

Most modern architecture books recommend REST microservice architecture and "eventual consistency" approach to data integrity. The use of "sagas" is recommended for implementing this data integrity. However, this is not enough if you have high on-line data integrity needs, such as the banks have. And even if your needs are not as high, it is very difficult to get eventual consistency "right".

On mainframe platforms, you have TP monitors (such as IBM CICS). Within TP monitors, you implement services, which is very similar to "serverless functions" such as AWS Lambda, but with distributed transactions.

These TP Monitor services may be distributed across multiple physical "servers", and we can scale up the number of these services if needed. The platform provides reliability that is easily as high as AWS Lambdas. Also, you don't need to deal with the container startup time issues or pay for the container virtualization overhead.

But the biggest benefit TP Monitor services have over modern "serverless functions" is the support for distributed transactions. I can call another service from within a service inside the context of the same global transaction, and the platform will take care of the distributed global transaction handling for me. This is essential when you need to guarantee high data integrity over various systems.

There is at least one TP Monitor (Oracle Tuxedo) that runs on Linux as well, but if you look at the tooling, it resembles more the mainframe world than modern development.

In my understanding there is no modern platform with this kind of data integrity guarantees.

(Caveat: Although I am involved in a mainframe modernization project in a company in a related field, my knowledge of mainframes is fairly limited.)

> Maybe this has nothing to do with Brexit, but more with energy prices and Tory tax cuts.

Most likely all of it. No decision is made in a vacuum, and all of them are compounding factor. In retrospect, the timing for Brexit was pretty bad (on top of it being a stupid idea badly implemented).

> As far as I know, not a single doomsaying Brexit prediction has come to pass.

Funny thing is, I have a hard time thinking of a prediction that did not materialise, from the fall in both imports and exports, the divergence in standards to ensure that trade will never be smooth again, the increase in red tape and bureaucracy, the government openly discussing tearing down the Good Friday agreement, the relaxing of environment protections, to the lorries queuing in Dover.
That graph is misleading. The 1980s level of sugar intake is already way, way higher than sugar intake of prior generations of humans. For example, if you eat 3 times as much sugar as prior generations, reducing the intake to only 2 times as much, which is still too high, means you still get diabetes and liver disease. I'm impressed that people are so easily fooled by this one.

The east coast fintech folks are the reason we couldn’t have yield as a keyword. Too much of their code uses the variable name yield in the trading sense of the word, and so we’re stuck with this instead.

I mostly agree with this, especially on senior roles. But what constitutes a short stint? How many short stints does it take to negatively impact future opportunities? Does 2 yrs suffice to demonstrate real impact?

There is a lot of grey area here. Almost everyone can agree that less than a year consecutively in a role is a short stint. But people have begun to gamify the system. I see many resumes with ~2yrs exp in each role before they jump on to next. Where would you classify them?

One of the most important lessons and pieces of wisdom I've learned in life so far is to always thoroughly understand something before proposing any changes to it.

Why is something the way it is? There's always a reason, both justifiable and unjustifiable.

Gmail supports IMAP, with custom extensions to support threading. As far as I understand it they use a custom protocol for their own gmail apps because of IMAP's shortcomings.

Its basically impossible to build a modern email app directly on top of gmail's public APIs. You can do it - but only by mirroring and re-indexing all the email.

Perhaps people familiar with his work interpret his statements differently. It's also understandable if this was a lecture for peers. But I'm a layperson whose only context is this article and the things he says sound absolute.

It's already an era of misinformation and low attention. We don't need content published in a way that may add to it. If there are conditions and nuances involved here, I think writers, especially scientists and professionals, and editors should include them and avoid saying anything that risks misinterpretation.
It seems like it could be very practical.

The gist is, you give the synthesizer a C++ implementation of a regular plain-old data structure along with a few annotations, and the synthesizer will synthesize a CRDT implementation of that data structure automatically that is provably-correct. The input needs to be in C++ using only a few types like int, set, etc, because the synthesizer's analysis is implemented against LLVM IR.

The driving example is taking a trivial implementation of a set, and getting back different CRDT implementation of sets depending on the annotations that guide the synthesis.

So, who is this for? A productionized version could be used by feature programmers who want to build new collaborative features. They can "just" write the feature for a single machine, and have the synthesis make it collaborative.

1. How do you decide on which of the possible ways to play the chord to include? For instance consider B♭ Major 7th, which has the notes B♭ D F A.

One way to play it is x13231 (numbers are fret numbers) using a bar on 1, giving B♭ F A D F. Another way to play it in the same general area of the fretboard is x00331, giving A D B♭ D F.

The tool shows the first, and does not show the second.

2. A display mode that might be useful to add is one that shows all the places on the fretboard that you can play notes of the chord. I've got an ancient command line tool
that does this. Here's its output for a B♭ Major 7th cord:

|-<5>-|-----|-----|-----|-<7>-|-<1>-|-----|-----|-----|-<3>-|-----|-----|
|-----|-----|-<3>-|-----|-----|-<5>-|-----|-----|-----|-<7>-|-<1>-|-----|
|-----|-<7>-|-<1>-|-----|-----|-----|-<3>-|-----|-----|-<5>-|-----|-----|
<3>|-----|-----|-<5>-|-----|-----|-----|-<7>-|-<1>-|-----|-----|-----|-<3>-|
<7>|-<1>-|-----|-----|-----|-<3>-|-----|-----|-<5>-|-----|-----|-----|-<7>-|
|-<5>-|-----|-----|-----|-<7>-|-<1>-|-----|-----|-----|-<3>-|-----|-----|

The numbers are the intervals in the chord, so it is showing all the places you can play the root, 3rd, 5th, and 7th.

Adding such a display at the bottom of your page after the chord diagrams could be helpful if someone is having trouble fingering one of the suggested forms. They can look at the whole fretboard diagram and see if there are any notes of the chord that are an easier reach for whatever finger is giving them trouble.

3. Does anyone know something that goes the other way? I would like to give the notes and be told what the chord is called. Earlier this year I scanned all the handouts from the classical/flamenco guitar class I took in college 40+ years ago, and started trying to remember/relearn guitar after decades of not playing by trying to work through the pieces that I remembered once being able to play decently.

One of the pieces was this lively anonymous Spanish piece [1]. I noticed on the chord diagrams at the top that what it calls a B♭ is not the normal B♭. The notes actually in the diagramed chord are A D B♭ D F♭. I tried playing it as diagrammed, and playing a normal B♭ or B♭ Major 7th thinking maybe the diagram was in error, but it sounded a little better played as diagramed. I also found a YouTube video of a longer and fancier version of this piece that included tab, and it too played that chord as diagrammed. The diagram then appears to be right...it just isn't named right.

It took a while to find a name for that chord. The big list here [2] failed me. I finally found this article [3] which tells me it is B♭maj7(♭5).

I remember Mark Blyth commenting on that proximity too.
They had a trial already. Insurrections don't work that way, it baffles me that people keep thinking that was possible or is a threat. When talking about guns, the military is mentioned as having so much power that it's pointless to think you can win in any way, but all of a sudden with an insurrection, a few hundred people rushing the capitol and the whole country will cease to exist!

They were never a threat. The military could have swooped in and killed everyone. "Democracy" is not that fragile, and cannot be destroyed by occupying a building. If democracy dies it will be because there are tens of MILLIONS of people don't want to participate anymore, at which point it's a civil war. A small minority of extremist cannot threaten a large system, unless of course those small minority is meant to be half of the country based on political leanings (at which point, it's not an insurrection and just a civil war).

By exaggerating the threat, it ironically adds fuel to the fire of a civil war, becoming like a self-fulfilling prophecy.
