It is currently unsettling that the biggest megaphone of this country is governed by a small group of individuals in Silicon Valley.
Respectfully, the title should have been specific about iOS apps. I thought the lack of iOS in the title might be a reference that included Swift as a language for writing web apps or microservices... something Apple probably doesn't even do but if there are folks out there doing it I would be mildly curious to know why.

The scary question is: "why do they keep them employed?"

The answer is: As long as they are busting the right heads, they are doing their jobs perfectly. It is not about protecting citizens. It is about corralling and controlling them.

The topic at hand is phone connectors -- we have data about how the EU handles them, so why bother using estimates from some other thing?
Also a point for node: in the time people have argued about how node sucks (some valid points, all easily mitigated) and how X is better, they could have already shipped a bunch of nice features.

Focusing only on web stuff.. If you have a good grasp of design patterns and you can build out your system in a modular way, I think node is a great starting point.

I love starting with node because typescript is awesome, the performance is nice, the community support is tremendous, the scaling is easy, and finally it’s easy to move off it. If some part of the system starts becoming a bottleneck, just swap that piece out for something more suitable. One thing I like about this time right now is that most things are built just fine to be used in creating something new and useful products.
Thank you for finding this and bringing it to the attention of the masses. I was just thinking about an article very similar to this publication of the concept, and was hoping to find the original source to it, because of the importance of the concepts within it.

One of the things that often irritates me when dealing with topics of politics, is the absurdity of trusting graphs and data points that don't extrapolate on where their data for those graphs came from. And when there is some sort of explanation available, it often just leads to the understanding that they did not use a random enough sample to avoid selection biases. Often times, I don't get to see much more of a source on the accuracy of the data other than some variance declaration dictating that there could be a 1-2 degree of variability in the data's accuracy. Something like that.

It's nice that they include that, but I want to know more. Especially in politics, because liars abound are everywhere.
Because the committee took something which is normally a way to lift nullability into the type system and make pointers null-safe, and instead made it… a nullable pointer. With all the absence of safety of a C++ pointer.

The problem with a lot of high school subjects is, that you have to memorize a bunch of dates and years, random names of random plants and animals, that you then immediately forget after you pass the exam.

For example, (for me), the "important things" about world war 2 is, who, why and how... what was before, what made people make decisions they did, how did it start, what happened during, and why and how it ended... the exact date when some named general attacked some small city somewhere is pretty irrelevant (atleast not a thing you should keep memorized), but a lot of history classes focus on exactly that... on which date which unit/general took over which town where did they break through, etc... I'd prefer half less memorization data and a googling class for kids to find the dates needed, and more focus on the whys and hows, because history repeats itself, while dates and names don't.
There's something beautiful about his work on the series. He's been working on it for years, built TeX (not sure if that was for this series or other books of his), and has such ambitious plans. He's a serious legend in the field of computer science and we're lucky to have someone like him to have provided our industry with so much incredible knowledge. I'm interested to see how the series progresses for the next 30 years.

He also seems like the kind of guy you'd want to have a cup of coffee or tea with. Always seemed like a fun and sweet guy in the interviews I've seen with him.
The opposite can be said though, but git arbitrarily won over a bunch of other DVCS systems (another e.g. hg), mainly because of bandwagon and marketing.
Ah clojure. It's all fun and games until five years down the line, you've had 100% dev churn, and you have a 100kloc codebase that nobody understands, full of functions that don't give the slightest hint of the shape of the data they're processing (it's all lists!) yet down the bottom of the callstack there's some function that'll explode if the map doesn't have whatever magical key it expects.

If you're really lucky, someone will have thrown in a bunch of 'specs' that make a bunch of assertions about the data, put them on the API entry points, and then scattered some slightly different specs with slightly more restrictive assertions on various 'internal APIs', resulting in random explosions in production!

And the joy of working with an esoteric language is that it attracts esoteric developers, who often get frustrated by the requirements of being a software engineer in a large company (i.e. everything that's not writing code), which leads to the aforementioned 100% dev churn (after a lot of shouting).
Paramedic: if you're getting CPR, you're dead already. Doesn't get worse.

It's not so much broken ribs (though those are possible), but separation from the sternum. Not pleasant, but not particularly problematic (people walk out of the hospital at times within 3-4 days of cardiac arrest as subsequent ROSC (return of spontaneous circulation) after CPR/defib.

And if you survive to ROSC, you're getting a stay in ICU as it is, where things like internal lacerations, aspiration can be treated.

California did something similarly stupid in 1990s. They mandated the selling of EVs. Car makers asked the courts to limit the law "in case no one wanted them." Then car makers tried to prove no one wanted EVs and then tried to convince everyone against buying the very EV they were making!

> Inflation adjusted nothing the government is selling is earning other than I-bonds (individual yearly buy limit of $15K).

Inflation-indexed long term US treasuries are now earning positive rates of interest. See https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/DFII30 -- it's not necessarily a high rate (currently 1.74% after inflation with a 30-year term), but when you have millions or billions to invest, it's certainly not nothing.

CPI does directly include energy, including gas [1]. You may be thinking of "core CPI" which excludes energy and food prices.

> paint every cop as guilty by association without evidence

it was the LAPD that opened fire on two old ladies in a truck that was the wrong type and color in the middle of the day when they were trying to murder their colleague that put out a manifesto about how corrupt they were. Sure he was killing cops that he thought were corrupt but that's against the fold and a sign that they hold themselves to be unaccountable. dorner was the guy who they eventually burned to death in a cabin in the mountains.

the old saying about the rotten apple is not that there is a rotten apple that is alone in the doings it's that the rotten apple spoils the barrel. you see one bad cop and if you don't have a system that stops that you will have a barrel full of rotten cops.

Nowhere near this level of detail. Telecoms providers (until "hyperlocal" 5G base stations become commonplace) have very coarse location info compared to GPS (as well as other sources a typical smartphone uses such as Wi-Fi triangulation). Even with 5G, smartphone-determined location data is likely to still be much more accurate.

I don't know how market leading chess cheating software works, but it's not that hard to imagine that it just captures the screen, or scrapes the moves in any number of ways automatically is it? I'm sure it's not needed to manually type in all the moves.

As to how he'd cheat over the board, that's the big question. There are a couple of theories floating around, some more realistic than others, but if we knew for sure than this whole debacle would already be over.

A great book is to be pored over with a pour-over.
As mentioned in the article they are in talks to buy Magnus's app Play Magnus.

That being said, if they have literal screenshots of the discussions between Niemann and chess.com admitting to cheating and appealing the ban, those seem like smoking guns in addition to all this other analysis
> That's an odd statement to make here. Yes this is an unfortunate combination that results in memory leaks, but how is C's "everything is a memory leak" any better? 100% broken is better than 10% broken?

Because if you use features that may leak memory, you can still trust yourself as a programmer. If you cant even trust the language / compiler, I would consider that worse.

Handling JavaScript exceptions as opposed to promise rejections in async code is a continual source of pain. They don’t work together. If you do try/catch on async code but forget to call await, catch will never be hit and your program might crash. There appears to be no linter available to detect this. Unless I’ve completely missed something, the interaction between these two features is a terrible design.

There are certainly many ways in which education could be improved to be more effective, and the way math is often being taught isn't an exception there. Many people rely on memorization for learning math as well, which is as counterproductive as it gets.
Perhaps _too_ obvious.
Football players lift weights because it is known to be one of the more effective ways to build muscle strength. Do we have evidence to support the claim that learning calculus is particularly effective at improving general cognitive ability?
You are good at what you love.
I believe that another, quite important, part about teaching kids math is to train their abstract thinking and logical approach to a given problem.

This goes far beyond math, it is applicable to most important areas of life.

> Because it is mathematically equivalent to the others. Observationally indistinguishable.

By Occam's Razor, if there exist multiple theories that are indistinguishable, we should take the one that has minimal assumptions (i.e. no assumption of the existence of some "multiverse" like in the many worlds interpretation).

> "George Washington riding a Unicorn in Times Square"

The “secret” to Stable Diffusion (and other CLIP-based models) is being as descriptive as possible. This prompt, whilst easy for humans to imagine, actually has a whole lot of ambiguity baked in.

How high is the unicorn flying? Is the unicorn even flying, or on the ground? How old is George Washington? What visual style is the image in? Is the image from the perspective of a pedestrian at ground level, or from up at skyscraper level?

The more ambiguous the prompt, the less cohesive the image.

To demonstrate, here’s 4 renders from your original prompt: https://imgur.com/a/Jo4qfOp

And here’s 4 using the prompt “George Washington riding a unicorn in Times Square, cinematic composition, concept art, digital illustration, detailed”: https://imgur.com/a/lB36JqC

Certainly not perfect, but for an additional 15 seconds of effort, far better.

People have been saying a bunch of stuff like this on Twitter, but Twitter's current lawyers aren't stupid, and Musk playing like Lucy with the football is about the most obvious legal risk you can imagine. Whatever happens next, it's unlikely Musk is going to be able to use it to stall the Chancery Court. The best bet here is that Musk is simply going to end up owning Twitter.
>> Do you think that language-agnostic frameworks are the future?

Are they not the present?

You can already use multiple programming languages to target other runtimes such as the Java Virtual Machine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_virtual_machine) or the Common Language Runtime (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Language_Runtime).

WASM / WASI is just another runtime, but supports more programming languages than the JVM or CLR.

> “It’s the same thing with calculus. You’re not here because you’re going to use calculus in your everyday life. You’re here because calculus is weightlifting for your brain.”

There are many non calculus things that are weightlifting for your brain, including many math fields that high schoolers don't even know about. Calculus is taught to teenagers for historical reasons, do not overthink it.
The question includes this part:

> There are literally math concepts taught in high school and middle school that are only used in extremely specialized fields or that are even so outdated they aren’t used anymore!

So a more appropriate analogy would be doing the wrong exercises for the type for the type of sport being played. It’s still exercise, so probably increases the chances of winning somewhat?
TAOCP is far far more than the basics.
> Yes this is an unfortunate combination that results in memory leaks, but how is C's "everything is a memory leak" any better? 100% broken is better than 10% broken?

I'd rephrase "100% broken" as "always does what it says it will", and "10% broken" as "almost always does what it says it will." I'd prefer the former 99% of the time.
Is gallium now deprecated within Mesa? The way this post is written it seems that way but I could swear I had read a similar post recently about other hardware in mesa leveraging gallium to get to a working driver faster.
Agree. Modern C++, and discussions around it, become more esoteric with every revision. As software engineers we should spend our time understanding the esoterica of the problem domain, not the toolset.
If data upsets you it may be worth thinking about why. It’s just saying that hiring appears to be cooling off and that’s showing up in other places too (layoffs/freezes at FAANG, the BLS job opening stats just this morning: https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/us-job-openings-post-bigg...).

This isn’t some insidious campaign to crash the economy by showing that the economy is finally cooling off. Getting inflation under control is good long term but it will be painful.

"When Japanese conglomerate SoftBank bought the company in 2016, it made a commitment to double the chip designer’s 1,770 British workforce over the following five years. It succeeded, according to figures released by Arm, and by September of last year British staff peaked at above 3,500, with a total of 6,950 globally."

"Since then, the company has cut 18 per cent of its global workforce, with the UK taking a larger hit proportionally. The reduction was driven in part by management refocusing the business and exacerbated by an exodus of staff unsettled by uncertainty about the company’s future, according to former employees who spoke to the Financial Times."
