The USA was founded and its culture heavily influenced by very deeply religious Protestants. While by the time of the founding of the USA, Sunday was decently well established as the seventh day in both Catholicism and Orthodoxy, most protestants were Bible originalists.

I believe that they resurrected the practice of considering Sunday as the first day of the week, based on the Old Testament tradition. Just like New Earth Creationism is in fact a relatively recent phenomenon driven by a renewed interest in literal interpretations of the Bible, that had long since been superseded in Catholic scholarship.
It's an indirect impact of Fed policy. Low rates means low unemployment means higher wages. The reverse is true too, raise rates, wages go down.
>An extremely advanced civilization could hollow it out and make a "Dyson planet" -- or just build a shell from scratch

Wouldn't this be impossible because of the planet's molten core? Or am I just biased because our planet has a molten core and I'm assuming it's necessary for a life-bearing planet, or at least unavoidable for any planet where its host star hasn't burned out from old age?

Finally, even if you could remove the molten (or solid) core of a planet, wouldn't the shell collapse due to gravity and other forces?

It seems to me that all these planetary engineering ideas really don't make that much sense. If you have such advanced technology that you can do these things, wouldn't it be faster and easier to build an O'neill cylinder and get exactly the environmental conditions you desire?
In my experience this is ridiculously far off. I know that pretty much all universities still communicate through email, organisations like the IEEE as well, but more importantly how does the OP think companies communicate with external suppliers, candidates etc?

Furthermore, you can count up to 12 using the fingers of just one hand: you just place the tip of your thumb on each of the other finger's phalanges.

With two hands, you can use this method to count up to 144 (a "gross" in English): one hand counts individual items, the other counts dozens.

> A project that was supposed to take 6 months didn't even have a line of code written in those first months for want of some technical roles to be filled.

If that's the pace of the project, then the project was never important in the first place.

I've read plenty of job descriptions' sections for qualifications, and they're out of touch with reality. Many orgs want unicorn employees (e.g. 5 years in machine learning, 3 programming languages, also PM experience and SQL, and must have comp-sci degree of course) and are barely willing to pay market rates for it.

It's unclear to me if they're actually serious about work needing to be done. They're certainly unwilling to train non-perfect-fit employees and/or let someone competent post a job ad that's realistic.
Used yes. But not the biggest part. Maybe 10% at most.

We are doing L4, so if something goes wrong, the manufacturer is responsible. Once we were in a test car. It was behaving great. At one point, the car "makes the decision" to accelerate and pass. The manager to which we were showing asks "we did the car not waited a little bit? can we change that behavior?". A very long discussion ensued, about data sets, labeling, training... long story short: we have to be able to change behavior (even for perception) in a deterministic way. So the amount of NNs went down dramatically after that.

Amazon succeeds because they can get a tube of toothpaste, an onion, a washing machine, an extension cord, a can of paint and an iPad at your doorstep in under a day.

Do you need to be a senior HR manager for that? Are those also impossible to hire?
Thanks for this. I had originally written quite a bunch but realized it’s rather pointless to do.

Ultimately, no matter the stance or argument, it all boils down to the old Tolstoy quote for me: “As long as there are slaughterhouses there will always be battlefields.”

Counter argument: I disagree with most of what you say here.

I think what impacts all people, regardless of age, is much less about the medium and much more about message. I disagree with the "medium is the message" idea being applied universally. Zelda Breath of the Wild has the same spirit as the Gameboy games, and the NES games. And before that, the same spirit of the games and fantasy books about knights, and forts with secret passageways made out of sticks and renaissance fairs. Super Mario Odyssey is a digital evolutions of the same kind of playgrounds and energy like jungle gyms, or tag, and running around and collecting things like hide and go seek or a scavenger hunt. Splatoon is like a soccer game, or an airsoft game, or any kind of childhood battle/skirmish game. Each of those types of games I think map to styles of play that are really, really old.

I do think there is a message in the medium, though, and that the message is "we think this game/story is important enough to convey properly that we'll invest cutting edge technology to enable the best possible experience". I think each generation actually does in fact experience the same impact when that message is received. They way it is conveyed changes, because the cutting edge changes.

You can tell when media hits that Goldilocks zone; it's not something frozen in any particular time. It moves and evolves. The Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings holds up. The original Star Wars holds up. The first James Bond holds up. The Wizard of Oz holds up. Metropolis holds up. Shakespeare holds up. Etc etc. You can trace stories back eons, and the ones that convey core messages about human experience in a time/era appropriate way are an essential part of how we think of ourselves. People who feel rooted and secure in their cultural context don't find the past contemptible, they are reassured and feel connected to an evolving set of stories.

You can still see that with modern media. It will vary person to person, each cultural niche and personality type has a different Goldilocks zone preference.

I don't think variety and saturation with more different forms of expression than we could dream of is actual sophistication. In a lot of ways it's actually more difficult than I think it's ever been to really convey a compelling story in a cutting edge manner. The army of people and resources needed to make a modern movie is insane, as it is for a cutting edge video game. I think that's leading to less sophistication, because the inevitable bureaucratic behemoths that are needed to create cutting edge story telling tends to kill off a lot of the best storytellers. The best story tellers should be more discoverable than ever, but it's increasingly difficult to plug them into these incredibly expensive projects.
I want to have my cake and eat it, too!

From my outsider’s perspective, the EU’s justification is far stronger than a “cautionary tale”: a Union means a Union. No other country or state structure in the world allows its constituent members to carve out only the bits that they themselves like; that would subvert the entire point of the Union.
And they reply with theirs... Calendars do not trend towards simplicity over time.

That functionality was removed in favor of OAuth.

I'm not sure M66B needs to get approval for the other builds, though, because the access is gated at the cloud API, not though client libraries. You can use Play Services to grant OAuth tokens, or you can use the boring old Google API client libraries, or roll your own; you just need to add the other signing key fingerprints and application IDs to the credential in the project's cloud console.

I could easily be mistaken, but there are numerous open-source projects acting as mail clients through the GMail API, Google has granted them access, and they don't have to use a closed-source client to do it. Most of them don't even target Android.
Price increases could be offset by a number of adjustments to other inputs to COGS. Reducing CEO pay, nationalizing health care (so it's no longer an employer cost), price controls on material inputs, reducing profit margins, increasing production efficiency, etc.

Yes, wages are a cost. But raising wages aren't a guarantee of price increases.
That’s misleading.

While you can have multiple lines, you are not allowed to have multiple statements.

Nobody wants to write code chained together with ternaries and and-operators. When someone says multi-line lambdas, what people actually mean is multi-statement lambdas.

The bummer is that the main reasons I would want my company to adopt Rust are 1) the toolchain and 2) the type system (we're on Python, which has the worst story imaginable for both of these). But most of the pain in learning and using Rust comes from its performance characteristics, which we mostly don't need

Such is life
> Except for where you start a sentence with "yeah," apparently answering in the affirmative a hypothetical question that no one has asked, and adding a superfluous and grammatically incorrect comma, you are vaguely correct.

Wow, you must be a hit at parties. The way I phrased that sentence is how some some dialects of English, like the one I speak, express agreement. Consider it shorthand for "I agree,". And perhaps consider the limits of your experiences and that wisdom is (partially) knowing what you don't know, and not attempting to speak with authority in such areas.

In wording my response to you, I've deliberately avoided other expressions from my dialect that may confuse you, but are very applicable. Like "twat" or "tosser", or "tu meke".

> Jesus is the English transliteration of a Germanic adaptation of the Latin transliteration of the Greek transliteration of the Hebrew name Yeshua.

Yeah, nah. Thanks for contributing nothing that a basic Google of "Jesus Yeshua" wouldn't have.

In my dialect, "yeah, nah" often means "I'm experiencing fremdschämen".

> What is agreed upon by near universal scholarly consensus is instead that Jesus was baptized and crucified.

You're going to need an awful lot of citations there.

Firstly, define the scholars you're referring to.

Also, what sources are they working from?

Josephus, the closest there is to a contemporaneous source, doesn't mention baptism. Neither do Seutonius, Pliny the Younger, Mara bar-Serapion or Tacitus.

Maybe the scholars you refer to are extrapolating from the title "Anointed", or from the fact that, gosh, if you're saying this Jesus is sinless, and baptism is for the remission of sins, then why would you include a story in your holy writings that Jesus was baptised? It makes no sense, so you must've included it to be historically correct! Also known as proof by mortification. [0]

Or maybe, you're just referencing crap you garnered from a 5 minute speed read of Wikipedia that really needs more citations? Who knows? Tu meke au.

Think about what you are saying when framed in the most cynical fashion. 'How is basing my opinion of an idea, not on what is said but instead on my opinion of the speaker, a sign of immaturity.' The claim to signal to noise is little more than a high brow ad hominem, rather than an actual rationale. And similarly your choice of adjective of "rational", is little more than begging the question.

Of course this is not taking your words in good faith, but it's also not straw manning you.

No energy is lost. Imagine a spring installed at an angle between 2 plates being pressed together (the middle bit of a 'Z'). The spring has to be stronger/beefier than a spring installed vertically (middle bit of an 'I'). It may wear out faster.

No, it's the opposite. Civil torts have a lower bar for judgment. This makes it easier to try corporations who often do not have a guilty mind - or any mind to begin with.

We recognize that accidentally hitting a pedestrian with your car is different than deliberately doing the same. Both of these would be considered vehicular manslaughter (assuming the victim died) but the latter could also be a murder charge.
The chart cited in that tweet seems to have a very suspicious trend. I highly doubt some consumption trend has such a sharp inflection point like that.

I would suspect that it is either both of the following:

- data is based on some food survey, and they changed how they asked the question
- "sugar" in the chart is just some specific sugar (e.g. cane sugar), and there was some substitute or reclassification (e.g. fructose -> sucrose?)

Also, I find it very hard to believe that global sugar consumption has been declining, given how hard junk food countries are pushing into less regulated developing economies (e.g. Coca Cola in Chiapas MX, just look on youtube).

Their description of the site and its usefulness is probably correct, but I think people are taking the wrong message from it. Mcmaster.com isn’t good because of its UX. The service would be exactly as useful had it looked exactly like Amazon.com. Its UX is simply secondary to its inventory and logistics.

Nearly all A&E (ER) rooms are managed by the NHS. Private ones are few and far between so it’s likely that a tourist with insurance will end up in a standard A&E - which can have very long wait times[1].

The NHS is also using private clinics to help clear backlogs - so even private insurance can lead to a long time to see a consultant.

Ambulances also do not have good response times.

You make it sound so simple. Becoming a group member in this context means corrupting oneself. You are what you do. You are the last action you take. If you deceive the other externally while holding different positions internally, you are those external positions, and the internal is the deception. Those that lie to themselves this way have nothing to offer the group and will certainly never "make a change from the inside."
But the whole point of Scheme is that the syntax is simple enough that you _can_ do metalinguistic abstraction. That was a deliberate design choice, not an accident. In most other languages you have to stoop to using some other parser and interpreter for data files, rather than reusing the excellent parser and interpreter that you already have for Scheme itself.

Plus, you can’t assume that using JSON or YAML will give your users some kind of magical intuition bonus; you’ll still have to train them to use JSON/YAML correctly. I have a friend (who isn’t a software engineer) who needed to do some work on JSON files, and it was pretty clear that he was just cargo–culting it. He was only doing it to accomplish some larger goal, not for the joy of knowing the JSON syntax. That’s a hurdle you will face no matter what you do.

Either for computers, or smartphones.

That's not only because the first 6 months will be the most expensive they will ever be, but because the first iterations usually have bugs and flaws that are found only after mass usage.

Truss would be first.
The Fed has also been raising interest rates, and doing so faster than other countries, which makes the US dollar more valuable than those other currencies. But both currencies are still inflating because COVID and the Ukraine war have managed to shut down a lot of productive capacity in the economy. People are too rich to do without the goods being shorted, so instead prices go up.
Interesting, thanks! Seems like there are a few areas where bootstrapping has been applied. CGI and camera control in the film industry for example. Or software tailored for business management and operation. CAD tools certainly do have a lot of room for improvement. Construction seems to be lacking good computer tools. Medicine is just starting their journey into computerland and seem intent on demanding optimization. Robotics might be an example of an ongoing effort to optimize computing for specific work (though pretty slow moving).

There must have been source code for the "mother of all demos", it would be fun to take a look at it if it was on Github. Maybe it no longer exists though.

Can’t direct link the comment so I quoted the relevant snippet below. Obv I’m taking it with a grain of salt until I see confirmation but it would be an odd thing to lie about so specifically.
