This certainly won’t help collateralize those liabilities.

Tangentially, and for the record, as someone passionate about crypto currency, this type of sunshine into much of what DeFi and tokenized businesses are is a relief. What’s popular in crypto as of the last bull run is not what’s been fundamentally innovative - it is basically just an attempt to saturate what contract chains are capable of.
Actually really good. I've just checked my spam folder and it's full - nothing has made it through (I'd forgotten it was a thing, much like with Gmail).

I was replying to

>note that at-will employment simply lacks several (the big one being "certainty"). In particular a "contract" that says "you can do whatever" is clearly not a contract under common law.

Which was in reply to a comment about every job having a contract.

Further your other examples could be contractually enforced.

If you accepted an employment contract based on the compensation plan, that forms part of the contract. Raises are updates to the contract, unless you're saying it's potentially ok to claw back 40 years of pay raises when some one retires.
Offer letters are probably more questionable but if there's a specific start date and pay has already been discussed, it seems to me that that would form a contract.

The key thing in this particular situation seems to be that there was an error, and the error was rectified quickly.
Ah. So it's because the machine learning people mostly work in the -1 .. 1 range, but it's possible for their numbers to go outside that range. So they need a compact representation which uses most of the possible values for the range of interest. If you're down to 8 bit numbers, something like this makes sense for custom machine learning hardware.

I wonder if it has graphics applications for high dynamic range images. Probably not.
> a sorting algorithm may take O(n log(n)) runtime which is pretty common but be able to operate on an array in-place, only requiring O(n) storage.

If it's in-place the sorting might only require constant space and it can be O(1 ) [edit: in terms of space complexity]

I looked at the example for some time now, and I don't understand what exactly the problem is. Is it the missing `import pathlib` and then `pathlib.Path...`? Is using `read_text()` bad style?

1) 'undiplomatic' and 'truth' aren't mutually exclusive. While science is highly social in it's game, it is not in its object. Otherwise the discipline is scientism, not science.

2) even if I knew nothing about the intricacies of counting angles on the head of a pin, I can still have an opinion on its usefulness, lack of verifiability or predictive power.
In a software analogy: A black box test still reveals errors even when it doesn't show how the errors are produced.

Nah, failed dictatorships are incompetent and can't push their economies overall, on par with regular countries. And due to this economical deficiency their companies will never be globally competitive, including competitive software and webservices. So will be forced to to keep open access to the internet to feed on the major web platforms and services. That's why all these nutjobs like Iran always restore internet access to the outside after some crisis has passed.

The only exceptions could be either successful self sufficient dictatorship (only China today), or complete nutjobs at the end of their rule, who disregard all concerns about local businesses.

Adobe Flex is one of those things that while I really enjoyed it, Adobe just isn't a good steward of projects/products like it. I do wonder what it would be like if some other large tech company either invented, or took it over.

Flex could be used on mobile through Adobe AIR, but it was slow, and felt all kinds of wrong. This was one of the downsides to Flex, too, in my experience.

You put words in his mouth, which is rude. He was on the receiving end of it, not me, but I can still see that what you did was insulting.

There have been reports of defective Pinecil batches, this was after I bought mine and before the newer ones were introduced. There are also reports about fakes sold around, which is not a good thing in this case since the original is already very cheap and 100% Open Source, bot hardware and firmware, and fakes are of inferior quality.
The defective batches were among the originals though, but it seems they already solved all problems.
> Some people involved in the project are talking about "100% unit test coverage" as a target.

100% targets ignore that software engineering is different from programming: costs in engineering hours, resource invested, maintenance burden etc. all should lower the target.

Also think hard if unit test is suitable for your program. Most compilers aren't unit tested. Distributed system unit testing requires an absurd mock infrastructure.

> The project include some fault-tolerant distributed servers, proxies and various API proxies/converters

Make the unit test target ~20% and focus rest of the time you would've spent on writing unit tests to making the system debuggable: all the best distributed systems are extremely debuggable, since there are no unit tests that will help you once there's an RPC (such things subvert any and all invariants you programmed)

Your set up works because you tailored both the hardware and the software to make up for the shortcomings of the devices. Normally a TV remote doesn't have a full fledged keyboard attached to it, so many applications become borderline unusable. What you did is enhance the inputs of your device and this opened up many more possibilities. You also tweaked the software from its ootb configuration to make operations smoother.

None of these devices attempt doing something similar. They offer less options than normal computers and their desktop is left unchanged.

Lastly, what you wrote actually proves my point. You are not using your linux system to do everything a computer does. Your set of functionalities is limited to media consumption and as such you just had to find a workaround for your use case. Could you browse (or even write) your emails on your TV? Sure, but you'd have to use a heavily customized UI and UX if you don't want people to squint their eyes and take ages to navigate everything. And who's going to write such a program? And what about all the other applications that we expect a complete system to have such as a general purpose web browser, a video player, a file browser, etc.? My whole point is that these "pocketable PCs" might be great for a subset of problems, but they have to be tailored for them. They are terrible general computing devices.
I mean, this is not incredibly different from consultancies sending their crack A-team to pitch a project and then a bunch of freshly-recruited graduates to actually build it. All big firms do it. I can see some particularly entrepreneurial fellow overseas experiencing it once and then going "well, if they can get away with it, why couldn't we...?"
They absolutely do. The sanctions are very far from impenetrable. They can buy pretty much anything they could before, only at slightly higher prices.

> the perpetrators will be caught in a manner of days

Even assuming all of these nations record the real-time location of every fishing boat, dinghy, yacht and tug-boat; and can play it back and analyze all of the data; and thereby backtrack to port of entry; and then crew; and then investigate all of the false positives within days. Implausible, but ok, assuming.

But they can find no one, or all the trails run cold. Your next go-to idea for the failure would be Russia or the US?

Come on. Aren't there other plausible reasons?
With 17 reactors Germany still consumed a lot of gas. Even if electricity were 100% nuclear, Germany would still consume a lot of gas. Only a small percentage of the gas Germany uses is burned for electricity. Most goes towards heating homes and industrial processes.
I've always loved learning new languages, I feel that learning new languages is a way to get insights into the culture that shaped the language. It's also a way to connect with the native speakers in a way that's more personal and natural than speaking a third common language.

I've always stayed away from Esperanto exactly because of those reasons. Because it's an artificial language that has not had a community large enough and existed for long enough, I feel there's little culture tied to the language. There's also very few native speakers so that also nixes the other reason for me to learn a language...

So, I'd rather learn Cantonese and Teochew than learn Esperanto. Even if I can almost always use a third common language (either English or Mandarin) to speak with native Cantonese and Teochew speakers. It's still worth it for the insight in the culture and for the connection one can get when trying to speak the other party's native language.
Indentation-based delimiting is good for reading because it provides visual structure. For writing, it's much more effective to rely on braces or parentheses instead and have the indentation be inferred by an autoformatter. For example, with braces, I can just copy-paste a statement or block of statements from somewhere else and it will have the correct semantics regardless of what indentation the source and destination end up having, and the autoformatter will immediately fix it for me.

The dollar being strong is a matter of it being strong in terms of other currencies. If you go on vacation out of the country, your costs would indeed be lower. The dollar being strong doesn't really change a lot of what you spend money on, because a large percentage of it is locally produced. In terms of goods that are locally produced, but primarily made from foreign components, the company pockets the difference, and charges you the same.
Or a better title, "Another successful psychological warfare campaign spent more than 100k USD in ad budget to attack XX million users before forcing attackers to simply make new accounts."

US expected to publish Privacy Shield executive order next week
Google Analytics users are rejoicing about the prospect of Privacy Shield 2.0 coming to life as soon as March 2023.

We think this is a premature celebration. Even from the snippets shared in the article, it is likely not enough.

It is also likely to face legal challenges from the get-go.

For instance, the text talks about European data in the context of EU citizens. Meanwhile, GDPR protects EU residents.

Also, proposed additional special courts "independent court for addressing U.S. national security access to European data" do not invalidate access by surveillance agencies.

But a lot here is still early. We are all awaiting the final text of the agreement.

Meanwhile, it doesn't change one thing: if you use identifiable tracking, you need a cookie banner and a quick and easy reject button.

That's why you are better served with web analytics that does not track Personal Data or identifiable data by default.

It is hard to find good numbers on detrans minors, simply because there are so few minors who transition in the first place. But here's one study showing that the regret rate for gender affirming surgery in general is ~1% https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8099405/

Detransitioners get so much media attention simply because it's good transphobia fodder. All there is to substantiate these claims is anecdotal stories from a handful of individuals. These cases should be investigated of course, everyone has a right to make fully informed decisions about their body and it's problematic if that wasn't possible for some reason. However, it is simply untrue that there's a systemic problem with this at the moment.

Again anecdotally, among the (few) detrans people I know, all of them agree they made their decisions fully informed, and take ownership of their decisions rather than blaming doctors.
Except type one diabetes is only partially affected by genetics. A woman with type one diabetes has less than a 4% chance of passing it to her child.

The biggest risk right now to our genetic success is overwhelmingly the fact that the people most likely to reproduce are the ones with the least amount of education.
I just hope it wasn't the US. That would be a devastating breach of trust for Germany and would backfire badly if it came out.

I'm rooting for the Danish anarchists. You basically just need underwater explosives and a boat. You hang the explosives on a long rope, throw it over board like an anchor, and drag it into the pipeline. When you hit the pipeline, you detonate the explosives.
I think this will either be ineffective, or simply make it even harder for people to know what they can post and what they can reblog. Although Matt's concerns about "porn bots", which are almost always a scammy way to get you to sign up and pay money off-site, are valid concerns, the fact that the proposed changes would allow me to write an erotic Overwatch fanfic but perhaps not post a drawing of two of the characters going at it is confusing.

Use of the word 'erotica' is particularly telling here, as it seems Matt has the innate ability to distinguish high brow from low brow pornography.
I'm not sure it is an unsolved problem. Most people with this "issue" already have a solution: multiple groups within a platform, multiple platforms or multiple accounts.

For each group I need to communicate with, I have existing communication methods. That's one of the ways that I know that they're a distinct group. I don't worry about my students seeing all my Whatsapp messages to my friends because I don't communicate with students over Whatsapp - it's not a good tool for that, and I can use pre-existing channels of communication. If I did want to communicate with students over Whatsapp (which is prohibited by lots of organisations because it's rarely a good idea), I would put them in a dedicated group and message that directly.

Basically, I think you only encounter this problem of not being able to share information with only specific people/groups if you've previously spent a bunch of time cross-pollinating the distinct groups. If you're not using Teams to recommend your Discord so that you can promote your niche art Tumblr, you'll find that people put themselves into those 'sharing rings' automatically.

Hardest part is raising those $50M - even more so if you have zero professional experience in high-finance. Getting a foot inside investment banking, hedge funds, private equity, etc. is extremely competitive to say the least.

I think the best shot for any outsider programmer would be to seek (and team up with) those finance professionals that are already thinking about exiting to start their own funds, and in the need of some technical partner...but even then, you're also competing against experienced devs. already in the field.

In the end, it is just really, really difficult for outsiders to just enter this sector, if they have any hopes of working with any substantial amount of capital.

I guess the better option would be to make some product you can sell as SaaS to the masses, or figure out how to manage thousands and thousands of low-$ investors.
> I was raised by artists and surrounded with the brilliant works they created. Every time I look at the modern crypto landscape, it makes me shiver a little bit. It feels like it’s maybe trying to kill pure art and expression and replace it with the version of capitalism its critics always warned of.

So proclaims the tech bro who won't pay or credit digital artists and instead credits 'Midjourney' by using an AI generated image and then wonders why artists are having to turn to working with and selling NFTs; in effect, them (tech bros) being part of the problem and accelerating the replacement of artists which they shrug at since it doesn't affect them.

As always, technologists and tech bros always grifting on 'open-source' things and whatever they can get for free, and will only complain when it affects them as they themselves are creating another dystopian world view for the tech companies they work at to exploit even more from artists which the technologists and tech bros will never admit their grifting.

Well this started by talking about investment (e.g., from VC) in the software sector which carries very little infrastructure, so I don't know what you're talking about now. That may explain why you were saying costs are very high when wages are typically far below the US, you don't seem to have been talking about the same thing.

I believe that your position is utterly immoral and cruel. Everyone deserves a path to redemption, and a kid cheating at chess in his childhood does not deserve an eternal punishment for the rest of his life because of it.

A small Powerbank could help in that case, if no power socket is available. But generally power sockets aren't far away from HDMI ports, at least in my experience.
It seems you are misunderstanding something fundamental about this issue. This is not a problem of mutability or immutability of function parameters, but rather that parameter default values are immutable. (But even to your point about making it impossible to pass mutable arguments to functions... that's a very common thing in many languages, even though it is irrelevant to this topic.)

This should illustrate the problem:

Any reasonable developer would expect b to => ['Dallas']. You absolutely would not expect the value of b to have been influenced by previous calls to visit_city().

Python apologists only offer one positive for this: "It is useful for memoization". That is a very edge case use, and it was not the intention when default arguments were implemented. It was an accidental side use of a misfeature.
