Lamport's video course is great (it's linked from the hyperbook, but just in case here's the direct link: https://lamport.azurewebsites.net/video/videos.html).

If you've used Python before that's more than enough background to get started, no other CS knowledge required.
Somewhere around the original ipad era, I believe there was a curated subset of wikipedia articles that may have been called something like Educator’s Edition.

It worked offline and had images and I traveled to Peru with it and learned so much. Does anyone remember this sort of thing?

I’ve tried wix formatted copies and they do work but the experience on an offline ipad was simply better. Thanks in advance.
False dichotomy--do both.
Yep! And IIRC, states that have fully legalized marijuana still have has big headaches dealing with the fact that it's outlawed by the feds.
Hey,sorry for naivety here, but do you mean the Department of Justice? Why would they call you about the merger?

I don't think we're going to see that here.

It is possible to issue a pardon like this without admitting to any government wrongdoing in crafting, passing, and enforcing the law in the first place. I don't think there's enough philosophical alignment in the US that criminalization of marijuana was actually wrong for a reparations balloon to float.
I'm testing the beta version of their Android ticket software and it works pretty well (and not limited to Samsung phones). It should be available soon I think.

Actually I'm considering having host languages for the system as I'd like to keep the informational core as pure as possible with the host taking care of any imperative actions. At least that's my thoughts so far.

Though trying to introduce clojure, as much as I enjoy it, would just be adding to my social woes :).
The question was "why didn't he do it?", not "should he have done it?".
You have to consider factors beyond just the decision algorithm — elections must be inclusive, fair, and accurate as well. RCV makes auditing a lot harder due to centralization, the complexity means there is more room for software problems and process problems, and the spoiled ballot rate increases, especially among people who are less privileged. When you look at the whole picture, RCV is probably a net negative.

Approval doesn't have these problems; it's a clear win.
I wish an airline would copy and paste the Ted playbook. Every seat was basically business class (on the flights I took) and you had the open seating model of Southwest. I only flew on a couple Ted flights and I don't know if my experience was standard but those were comfortable flights.
Pardons are so rare that it's not a good use of brain space for most people. They have been in the news more in recent years due to you know who.
No, the idea is that in that era an untold number of talented people were barred from contributing to the US due to discriminatory roadblocks at every level in terms of access to education and so on.

Your sarcasm is hilariously misplaced because the person I cited was driven away by stubborn US officials only to become the leading light behind the Chinese nuclear program. All they had to do was leave him alone. So yes, what you are describing literally happened...
I largely agree with the article, but I am always confused on why people say "GRRM likes killing people, look he killed Ned!." Yes that is true, but Ned Stark dying was probably the most traditional deaths the story. The beloved father figure guides children/pupils giving them material and immaterial gifts for their journey, and then gets of the way. Bonus points if it can also be motivation. Darth Vader killed Obi Won in one of the most traditional stories of our era. Ned dying gave his children a multifaceted reason for their struggles.

It does also that this is not a story about honor and chivalry, it's one about intrigue and subterfuge, illustrating the sociological not psychological reasoning. But even in a story with gallant knights, Ned would have died either way.
I guess this is why I ultimately went for a fully spec'd Macbook Pro. It's the price of a car but the value of having workstation class performance anywhere I go makes it easily worth it.
Thanks for explaining!

The last time I was involved with job-title hierarchies (a long time ago), nobody was a programmer, everyone was an analyst. The people who did telephone support were called support analysts. I graduated to senior sales support analyst (roughly, doing random free work for the prospect, to close a sale).

We assumed we were superior to "engineers": they were the guys that swapped-out hard disks and cards, twiddled the fuses to do performance upgrades, and lifted heavy boxes. We were better-paid. I think of them in boiler-suits, but actually they wore business suits like me. I liked the engineers.

[Edit: I guess maybe the difference might have been that we (analysts) had degrees, and they didn't - they got lots of training on the hardware. The attitude "we" had was obviously degree snobbery. I say "we", because the engineers were regarded rather as I would regard a gas-fitter, by just about everyone.]
> The core problem here is America’s scarlet letter system of being a felon

I wish more people understood this.

"Felons shouldn't get a vote" makes common sense on the surface, until one picks away the surface just a little and realizes that the easiest way to politically disenfranchise an opponent would be to gain just a little more power than them and then make something core to their identity illegal.

Stripping voting rights due to a conviction for any crime is a huge incentive to wield the law as a political cudgel.

(Besides, you'd think that Americans, of all people, given the way they got their country, would grok the notion that sometimes people who break the law are on the right side of history).
I actually STILL have a Nexus 5x, running LineageOS. I use it as a white noise generator.

This week I finally turned it off. After leaving it plugged in constantly for several years, I noticed the battery was swollen and there was a notable bulge behind the screen.

That said, I had another Nexus 5x that did die prematurely due to some kind of storage related problem.

Since the Nexus line, my wife and I have only bought Pixel phones, and have never had a hardware defect in any of them.

"We pledge that we will not weaponize our advanced-mobility general-purpose robots or the software we develop that enables advanced robotics and we will not support others to do so."

So the pledge does not cover any special-purpose robots they might create. That's a loophole large enough to drive an AT-AT walker through.
This vision will become real when we can distribute indexes & query engines to the edge. A simplified model would be a lightweight CDN deployment of sqlite with distributed updates.

Querying large indexes is the most common use case that needs code to run. Sqlite would standardize storage & query implementation

>> >...Meta sells reasonably good gaming headsets to customers who want to be entertained in VR; we're selling general-purpose productivity devices which are aimed at replacing PCs and laptops.

> Hate to break it to you, but if you don't think that Mark Zuckerberg is actively trying to create VR devices that are general-purpose productivity devices aimed at replacing PCs and laptops, you haven't been watching some of their recent videos about the new headsets and prototype headsets they're working on. He very much is aiming for that market with future devices (not the Quest 2).

It sounds like they're saying that Meta doesn't currently sell anything that competes with what they're currently selling, and the info you give doesn't seem to contradict that. I'd question the premise that releasing a marketing video for a product that doesn't exist counts as being "in competition". They might be in competition in the future, but it doesn't seem like they are right now.
> to offer an educational system that provides access to quality education regardless of parental involvement

This sounds good in theory, but it can have unintended consequences. One way to read what you are saying here is that we should have a system where parent involvement has no impact.

I may be biased (as a parent), but I think parental involvement should be encouraged, not disincentiviezed. Parental involvement is one of the forces of nature. It should not go to waste.
Web'4' will be a hard sell in Chinese speaking markets; the money from which is what all of this gambling obfuscation nonsense is actually intended to attract. Thus the skip to web5, as with some buildings that 'skip' having a 13th floor.
Explain to people around you. Eventually this has to percolate to the government. It is a question a national security, for every country. If a country wants to secure its GDP, then it needs cheap energy.

Oil has been the primary cheap energy, but burning something that takes thousands of years to make, is not sustainable. Even ignoring that fact that transferred all those carbon from deep underground to the atmosphere, and changing the climate of a couple degrees Celsius in a century, when it took 100,000 years get over the last glacial period that was just +5 degree Celsius. And now we just added 1-2 degree in likely less than a century. The last glacial period ended 15,000 years ago and allowed human settlement. So 5 degrees completely changed the geography of the world. Not sure what the next 5 degrees would do to our civilization.

All countries on earth need access to cheap and sustainable energy to support 8B humans. To feed them and protect them from the weather.

As a blunt reminder. If the gas production stops unexpectedly, big cities die. Like people have to leave the city or literally starve to death. A city like NYC, with 8M mouths to feed 3 times a day (3x~2,000 calories), if trucks, boats and even trains (diesel) are not moving, I doubt the city could survive a week. Cheap and accessible energy is paramount for our current local and global economy.
Got it. The generator logic is in Rust yes. I could have written it in JavaScript as well but it was just easier for me to do that part in Rust. Should have mentioned that.
Of course you could host a static HTML with JS on Github pages, but Github pages also runs on a server. So to answer the original question, yes you do need some server for it unless you make it a command line app.
Unprofitable, maybe.

As stated before and as stated in the 'code of Ethics':

No one is required to follow The Rule, to know The Rule, or even to think that The Rule is a good idea. The Founder of SQLite believes that anyone who follows The Rule will live a happier and more productive life, but individuals are free to dispute or ignore that advice if they wish.

Understand that the developers used an existing document from 1500 years ago, not to transport SQLite back to the year 480 AD but because it encompasses the spirit of community. The original rule of Benedict was written as 'timeless spiritual guidance on how our lives should be an expression of mutual service and love, seeing Christ in all people, particularly the stranger'. Feel free to exchange 'Christ' for the virtues which are normally ascribed to him if the reference feels alien to you, it will not change the spirit of the document which is to strife for 'mutual service and love' instead of 'strife, oppression and conquest'.

Also note that I quoted the sections I did because those are the ones specifically noted in the 'code of Ethics', not to leave out any references to religion. It should not surprise anyone that a document from the founder of a monastic order contains references to religion so I have no problems with those.

As a last point I'd like to add that the rule of Benedict manages to profess true inclusivity - and in my eyes probably too much of it for current society - instead of the Nomenklatura-type of the same ordered by documents like the CCCoC where an ordained group of commissars gets to be judge, jury and executioner over the masses. That is not inclusion but exclusion of all who do not abide by the whims of those commissars. As far as I'm concerned the CCCoC and similarly authoritarian "policies" do not lead to "inclusive communities", they just make contributors walk on their toes when communicating to avoid becoming a target for the language police.

You say that until you travel somewhere in Eastern Europe, South America, or Southeast Asia, and realize that 90% of the Western Internet is completely and utterly broken. Everything besides Google, Facebook, etc. (Because they’ve invested in solving the problem) are practically unusable.

The problem isn’t just TTFB or latency, as some people are implying, it’s poor interconnectivity at the transit provider level. Those links are frequently congested and experience fiber cuts, and unless you’re peered in that country your application is going to perform poorly. The companies who understand this have a first mover advantage in some of the fastest growing economies in the world.

It’s not that they choose the treatment, you can get whatever treatment you want. They just say that they won’t pay for treatment other than X. This is unavoidable, really: if you look at countries with public healthcare system, like eg. UK, the (state) insurer there also makes decisions as to which treatments are covered, and which patients are eligible to get them. If anything, they are more conservative than private insurers in US: due to public nature, typically they do not offer higher range of treatments to customers who pay higher premiums. Instead, the coverage is “one size fits all”, and to limit costs, covered treatments options are seriously limited compared to what private insurers offer in US, especially in countries other than the wealthiest ones: in Poland, for example, cancer treatments available to patients on government healthcare are at least a decade or two behind the state of the art. Of course, the flip side is that you then get to see how cheap health care per capita is in Poland, and gripe about outrageous costs in US.
Shit these days I consider writing code the failure-state that happens when I'm too dumb or inexperienced to figure out how to avoid writing code.

Welcome to the American legal system.

This isn't as strong a justification as one might imagine. That system sucks in many ways. Recently we learned that DoJ routinely take every document held by particular targeted law firms, without warrants, and then designate "taint teams" of DoJ lawyers who view every document and suggest which ones should be seen by investigators. [0] The idea is that the taint team will forget all the documents they've seen when they later investigate other clients of the targeted law firms. Many judges have ordered this practice stopped, but DoJ DGAF.

This taint team concept obviously is unconstitutional and undermines justice, but ISTM the practice you describe is worse. When Meta's lawyers view documentation extracted from SimulaVR, they do so as agents of Meta. Their current stated goal may be to defend Meta in the present suit, but there's no reason to believe that's the only goal they'll ever have. Have Meta promised to throw away all documents after some of them have been presented to the court? Is there some sort of escrow concept that allows SimulaVR to trust someone other than Meta's lawyers? The danger to SimulaVR is actually greater if Meta are telling the truth that they are competitors!

If Meta actually were competitors of SimulaVR, it would be easy to show that by hiring an expert to testify that "this service and/or product sold by SimulaVR competes with this other service and/or product sold by Meta". The sort of thing described in TFA has other purposes.

This is another thing Figma gets super right. It's not simply a design tool for UX people, they discovered that people were making things like marketing ads, business charts and API architecture diagrams in it and doubled down, providing free templates and resources for those people. For example: https://www.figma.com/templates/google-cloud-diagram-softwar...

Then a step further, Figma opened up a Community resource where people can publish their own, which are so simple to consume. My wife is the general manager of a dog kennel / daycare facility and I have made several posters and documents for them in Figma.

None of the pardoned individuals are serving prison time for their offenses. The main value of the pardon is that having a felony conviction makes it harder to get jobs and bars you from voting in some states. Around 8% of the US population has had a felony conviction.
> I thought Facebook was worse, but looking at TikTok, it takes the most invasive spyware crown.

I think that Facebook is worse, not because of the trackers but because of the very nature of the network. TikTok is mostly one-way. There are content creators and consumers, the latter vastly outnumber the former, also, creators often post content that is staged in some way, they don't really show their "real self". Facebook is a "true" social network, it is more symmetrical and intimate and people produce as much as they consume. TikTok is about showing off to the world, Facebook has that too, but it also a platform where friends can do stuff in "private".

Facebook doesn't even need spyware. People willingly put their entire life online, and for the few who are not on Facebook, their friends who are post enough about them for Facebook to create an accurate shadow profile. TikTok spies on you, but Facebook makes every user a spy working for them.

944.14ms - that's the worst case stated on the time to first byte for conventional architecture. That's not bad. Will your user notice it? Probably not for most applications and the ones that they do you can probably cache that locally.

There are performance limited applications - e.g. stock trading - but in those you're talking about choosing specific processors and disabling certain caching approaches to increase the performance that you want, choosing certain network switches, using microwave transmitters where existing physical infrastructure doesn't serve your needs... like fast is _fast_... and people pay for that in expertise and infrastructure.

Will your users pay for cutting your response time from 944.14ms to 45ms? And the additional complexity that comes with?

In some cases the answer is, in all honesty, yes - yes they will. And they'll pay you for every additional fraction of a second it takes light to go from the top of the Empire State building to the bottom, if it gets their trade in first.

More generally, however, your users probably aren't interested in delays measured in less than the time it takes them to blink. How fast is your ballpoint pen? Do you care? To your user's use case, it's all either categorised as instant or something you have to wait for.

You can’t disregard levels at large organizations if you care about your compensation. The behaviors you are referring to are “mid level behaviors” according to most guidelines.

Of course these are the official guidelines.
