Well I've literally been in the position where this was true to close a deal so we could stay in business. What would be the best option in your opinion? Risk a critical person leaving right then and loosing the customer and then losing everyone job? Or lying and telling them we are all ok just keep on doing your job and don't listen to rumors?

You are espousing false virtue/armchair quarterback. Real life is complex and lying can save many people jobs.
I think they tried post-Capitalism in October 1917 and it was a disappointment.

I see the post modern situation as depressing because a general theory of progress (e.g. Marxism) or even justice in the abstract (e.g. Rawls or Christianity) doesn't seem possible.

There is a "post human" philosophical movement, interested in things like Schwarzenegger's character from The Terminator, but I think the philosopher and I shared an additional meaning equivalent to "extinction".

I would point to Reason magazine as an example of people using the word "Reason" to create a frame in which people who believe that people have the right to form unions or that the state should regulate pollution or provision health insurance or public schools.

If you withdraw to pure mathematics you'll find Godel, Tarski, Turing proved that there is no salvation in logic.

The collapse of master narratives leave us scrambling for meaning, finding some, but with the feeling the apocalypse happened some time ago (1945?) and we are now living in some movie like Mad Max.

If there is moral rot in postmodern philosophy it is the moral rot of the age which is documented here:

You're right: the hint doesn't even have to be a move. It could also be an evaluation "it's better for white", or even: "there is a winning combination" which might be enough to get them to focus on finding it.
One great feature for offshore wind operators is that the hundreds of birds killed by each turbine every year just fall into the water where they drift away as biomass flotsam that can't be counted to hold the operator accountable...
Again, I don't think people would have as much of an issue if it was clearly about deprecation.

Something like Google's minimum sdk version is annoying, but understandable. It's technical and concrete - you must link against version X because version X-1 is going to disappear.

This is not that. It's culling apps that are arbitrarily too old and arbitrarily not popular enough. They must be keeping around old sdk versions if those old but popular apps are allowed to continue on.

A lot of programming modes in emacs give you a quick shortcut to send a given section to the REPL for evaluation. For instance, you can do it in sly-mode and julia-mode (I think it’s named that). Hit C-c C-c to eval one section and see output in the REPL. Works really well.

"lower investment rates,"

> Downturns are more about whether or not consumers still spend, which is based on their savings rate and willingness to invest.

For tech startups focused on selling to the government, that doesn't really apply. And for those that aim to sell their product internationally it's not specific to the country they are based in.
the GC doesn't solve the problem of no-use-after-destruction, only the timing (and potentially thread) of destructor calling. you still need a refcnt'ing mechanism to make sure that nothing can be considered for GC before nobody is holding a reference to it anymore.
It is probably a bit misleading when so many say: 'golang is easy', it is not, it is as difficult as Java or other language, probably easier than c++ and rust, but definitely not an easy language.

I don't know why Apple is doing this if they want to maintain their monopoly, I only see them throwing fuel on the fire of the breaking up of the App Store for some pretty marginal benefits for themselves. They are literally targeting the smallest and poorest developers explicitly.
I don't see anything about a trusted network, it looks like this is about authorizing devices. It seems a little bare on the details of how it works, but apparently it ties into a Cloudflare product called Magic WAN. Authorizing specific devices is still a good strategy even with zero-trust networking.

People have been caught cheating in the past.
Chess cheating is not black magic.

Chess engines are an integral part of the Chess world now, players a training with them, to analyze and prepare. I would not be surprised if many players tried to "enhance" their rating online with such an engine.

Chess.com probably has stats about this behavior.

My gut feeling is that online cheating is very common, and thus, saying that someone was caught cheating online is not a very strong proof that he also did it over the board.
Oh wow, thanks for finding this and letting me know. Have taken it offline until I can fix it. I'll open source it tomorrow, read the docs above and see if I can work out a fix.
If you are selling something that is destabilizing the (official US enemy) government then like here, there's a chance they will grant an exception. Especially if it's something that makes the US look noble.

First, I said he would be lucky to have a 1 in 100 chance. Second, absolutely nobody is saying that's the only reason to be suspicious of this game. Regardless of whether or not you believe Niemann cheated, if you think the fact that he won is the only claim in this accusation you simply aren't paying attention.
Alireza, Ian, Magnus, Fabi, Wesley, and Levon have since made statements that imply they believe Hans cheated, or at least that they were suspicious of his play, as well as Yasser and Hikaru.

That's the majority of the players in the Sinquefield cup. Even Levon, who was initially skeptical, has since reversed his position.

As is tradition in chess, no one says "He cheated" they say things like "his moves were better than one would have expected" or "superhuman" or "I felt like I should trust my opponent over my calculation".
> I don't think you're stupid. You couldn't have foreseen the sequence of events that has produced this situation. For what it's worth I did a very similar stress test, with similar assumptions, when I bought my home. I feel like this volatility is something of a rude awakening for our generation.

Thanks man. At the end of the day a mortgage is always a risk and you can only be so conservative with your expectations. People have been predicting rates will move up for years, but I'm not sure anyone predicted rates would move up 6% in a year and a half even if in theory it was possible.

> What does the 500,000 figure represent? There will be many people whose fixed-term mortgage rates expire in a now much higher-rate environment, including those on longer-term fixes negotiated before the pandemic.

There's a lot of people who will need to fix at a higher rate in the coming years, but most I suspect are at little risk. If you owned your home for 10 years you've already paid down a lot of the mortgage and you were probably used to modestly higher rates anyway.

Here's a chart:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FdlyDZhWAAI95pl?format=jpg&name=...

Where the risk would be is new buyers with a high percentage of debt / equity who brought over the last couple of years who now need to move to a much higher rate. I believe that number is around 500,000, but I've not seen an exact figure for that. It's somewhere around that though from the numbers I've seen.

Higher mortgage rates generally obviously aren't great for anyone though. Even if you can afford it your mortgage payments going up it will still mean you have less to spend elsewhere.
I don’t know the details of your particular library but I think 50k/week downloads and no problems is an outlier. In my experience even projects with small audiences tend to accumulate outstanding bug reports faster than they’re fixed.
If I was going to try to make something "similar to Wordpress" with Go I would replace plugins with optional packages triggered by build flags (or possibly a light codegen step), not an actual dynamic plugin system. The Wordpress model is solved with plugins in PHP (for reasons that were to some degree bad even at the time), but it's not actually "I want to inject some external code into this existing process environment", it's "I want a bespoke N of M features because some Ms are mutually exclusive or have overhead I can't afford".

If you have a language that has a module ecosystem, compiles fast, and generates a single binary, take advantage of that; don't try to reimplement fragile dynamic linking.
I always envisioned a CTO should be something like a Chief Pilot in the airline world. In an airline, Chief Pilot is the highest-ranking member of management that can (and does) still fly passengers around. This gives them unique insight into flight operations.

So a CTO should be someone that can still (and from time to time does) write code. Doesn't mean they do it every day, but still enough to give them insight into the development process.

I'm not sure if this is feasible in really large companies, but I think definitely should be the case in small and medium ones.
It is when you talk about the petrodollar as something important globally. It definitely is not something you could call a system.

Here is wikipedia for a start: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrodollar_recycling

“In reality, the use of dollars in international oil transactions increases overall U.S. dollar demand by only a tiny fraction, and the dollar's overall status as the major international reserve currency has relatively few tangible benefits for the United States economy as well as some drawbacks.[41][42]”
> In my view, because pi crops up unavoidably in math, if you concoct a "unit" to get rid of pi in one place, it will simply crop up somewhere else, perhaps in a denominator.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't try to put it in a convenient place.

One way to think of the post is: where you want pi to come up?

With arc length parametrization f(r) = (cos(r), sin(r)), it comes up in the parameter space (one turn: 0 <= r <= 2 pi). If you had the whole thing in terms of turns, you'd instead have (as a primitive) some kind of function g(t); with one full round for 0 <= t <= 1. It'd then have to be true that

f(2 pi t) = g(t) = (cos(2 pi t), sin(2 pi t)).

Pi would come up in the velocity:

f'(r) = (-sin(r), cos(r)) = if

(i u means rotate the vector u by 90 degrees counter-clockwise)

g'(t) = 2 pi f'(2 pi t) = 2 pi (i f(2 pi t)) = 2 pi (i g(t))

Before, you had |f'| = 1. Now you have |g'| = 2 pi.

For classical physics (kinematics and dynamics) applications and classical geometrical applications (curvature, etc), it's really convenient to have that speed term (|f'|) being 1. This is one of the major motivations for arc length parametrization.

By the way, this can't be understated. It really simplifies kinematics, dynamics, geometry, etc, having |f'| = 1 throughout. It's not just for circles. This can be done for an extremely large class of curves and it makes the related math much more understandable and easier to deal with.

For a lot of computer graphics (I believe this is where Casey comes from), you care less about tradicional mathematics for physics and geometry. So you'd rather (maybe) take this pi appearing in the parameter space and push it to the velocity.
Is it already 2023? Lol
What was Carlsen's blunder in his game against Niemann? If he had blundered badly in that game, it would be a very different story.
Oh, yeah, it probably does make sense for the warehouses to make that part easier, at least for the more popular transactional db choices. You may have seen Google/BigQuery recently announced their off the shelf replication service for Oracle and MySQL. As far as Prequel goes, we connect to either (db or data warehouse sources), so we're largely agnostic to how the data moves around internally before it gets sent to customers.
> Looking at the metrics Apple tracks in the App Store, it seems to me that "engagement" is all that really matters.

This has been the name of the game in ad tech like fb, Google and social media in general. I think two worlds are clashing with each other, where consumer tech is somewhat aware of the problems around mindless scrolling and addiction, but the growth & engagement mindset of the 2010s is cemented in the culture. Apple has little reason to follow this model because they primarily make money from selling hardware. Having a software platform that protects the user from this crap is a competitive advantage against Google, who depends on ad-based revenue. Apple seems to have an identity crisis, fearing they lose out on sweet subscription fees and ad revenue, now that most apps are free. This in turn is creating conflicts of interest, where they end up fighting their own customers.

If regulators would bark and bite harder around anti-competitive behavior, it might actually force corporations to focus on what they're good at instead of everyone building their own mediocre walled gardens that grow like a cancer and eats the company from within. At least, that's my wishful thinking..
they are similar yet very different. Stalker focuses on a single journey into the Zone, Rodaside picnic focuses on the life and world surrounding the zone.

^ for context, Jeff S also has a vast array of technical hobbies whether it's restoring early 1980s microcomputers, tearing a subaru WRX down to its smallest discrete pieces and rebuilding the entire drivetrain, or designing his own home solar power system... He's basically a modern polymath of nerd like pursuits.

Jeff is the CTO version of the guy who wants and needs to "Get his hands dirty" in the cutting edge of whatever technical discipline he's engaged in, for the purpose of keeping himself mentally sharp and fully aware of the subject matter at hand. Even if he buys subaru engine parts from a specialist he puts a lot of time/research into thoroughly understanding what he's putting together. He's kind of locally well known in the pacific NW nerd community for these things.
The Elo system is calibrated so that that the expected value from playing a player 200 points stronger than you is 0.24. This is true independent of the strength of the players. If you are scoring 0.10 against players 200 points stronger than you (that would mean, for example, 1 draw and 4 losses over 5 games) but maintaining a stable rating, then you must be crushing players that are weaker than you and/or doing very well against players at your level.

(FWIW, I am 2000 USCF and an expected value of 0.24 vs a 2200 and 0.76 vs an 1800 feels quite reasonable to me.)
They do now but they didn’t just a few days ago.
OK that's cool, didn't know about bpermute. Made sense there should be a counterpart. Well when you only have pshufb, it works OK, yeah there's tons of gaps but if you're clever and...and if you compromise speed...thanks for telling me about bpermute!
IMO the instability was always "really" there, but reduced information flow hid those fluctuations. Maybe we just need to get used to the instability - business is risky and will have ups and downs, responding quickly ultimately makes the system more efficient in the long run.
Correct, it is not possible to prove. If Magnus had anything - anything - other than "I felt this way" and "he seems too chill" I would suspect something. Those things could be:

- Hans was walking weird (something in his shoe)

- He was making weird movements

- He was distracted, or similar, indicating he's messing with some device

etc... then sure.

Magnus did not say these things, and that is telling.

What I believe happened is Magnus (someone who has presented a lot of anxiety in the past - see this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WR-4_ouXUV4 but easy to find other examples) was really nervous that Hans may be cheating, and that impacted Magnus's play (he played a very poor game).

This is what we already have, but the problem is that hierarchical browser -> filesystem is a lossy process and you have to continually reindex the filesystem to maintain the browser. If the hierarchy is first-class and the files are derived, this is less of a problem because the source of truth is the same shape as the conceptual structure of the environment.
If you were a non-native speaker I would give more leeway because the implication of the question is more likely to be missed by the person asking.

I heard a story once of an asian woman in a business meeting who started talking about erections. She was trying to say election. If a clearly native speaker had said it, the reaction would have been vastly different.

That question has all sorts of implications, not the least of which is being an accusation that the other person is disagreeing in bad faith, as well as an extreme level of condescension.

You don't speak to your coworkers the way you speak to your partner.
I’m sure you’re right, but it sounds like it’s an outlier not by random chance, but because it was built carefully.

I think there’s a useful lesson there.
This is not mainly about SIM security as far as I understood.

It's more about employees visiting phishing sites on their phone. Or their phone getting hacked exposing mail correspondence, or 2FA getting hacked etc.

In the way it's presented it's still the wrong solution IMHO.

If security matters and the work requires a phone do not allow BYOD. Provide a phone. For such a phone this might be an okay solution, not for a private phone.
If a phone isn't strictly required remove phones completely and strictly out of the loop. This is beneficial both for security in more ways then this sim service provides and for the mental health of your employee. Make it clear that even if they are called because of an work emergency they are contractual bound not to process it on the phone but instead switch to a employer provided device no mater who calls and which situation it is. PS: Also fire any manager or even the CTO who tries to pressure employees into not keeping the rule, make it an automatic firing through a contract clause.
Magnus has produced what he can given the situation and has staked something of extreme personal value—his legendary near-2900 ELO—on it with his move-1 resignation.

If he'd heard the guy's damn shoe buzzing he would have insisted on a search.
Why? Has Magnus admitted to cheating on multiple occasions in the past? No. He has not.

What's more, these "headline" settlement numbers usually go before a judge and get knocked down to 10-30% of what they originally were. The new (final) settlement number rarely makes the headlines

That's good when you only want updates, but I wanted to be able to launch new services on the server by just pushing a new YAML file to git. Harbormaster does it wonderfully, and it lets me see exactly what's running on the server and how with one look at the YAML.

Very interesting. I don’t really understand chess beyond the basics but when I think of sports the difference between good and great really seems to be, in baseball just a hit or two per week, in American football a running back who has the vision to cut decisively a second or less before another running would.

When you see it consistently the difference seems enormous, but the math … is surprisingly tiny.

I've written plugins in Go. You don't really need to use the plugin package, and you probably shouldn't anyway.

One way I've done it in the past is via sub processes talking via stdin/stdout. Another way I've done it is just via a regular REST API.

You'll never get enough performance for a lot of tasks if you need to pass a lot of data between applications. But depending on your needs it's more than serviceable. The benefit of this is that plugins don't need to be written in Go, as you have a simple interface.

A good example of this is something like LSP. LSP plugins are abundant and each one is written in a different language. VSCode is Typescript, the Go language server is written in Go. Both can speak to eachother fast enough.
