IMHO the problem with C++ style RIIA is that it's not just about calling cleanup code at the end of a scope (this would be fine, really), but the 'rat's tail' that's attached to RAII for dynamic memory management: you also need the compiler to be able to invoke user-provided code for 'copy' and 'move' operations (or better named: deep- and flat-copy), you need different reference types to define ownership details (e.g. unique vs shared) etc... this adds a lot of bells and whistles to the language which is only needed in special situations (such as tracking the individual lifetimes of tons of tiny heap objects, which usually isn't a good idea in the first place).
There was a technique that used a thing called overlays[0]. You could write a program that is much larger than the available address space (64k on MS/PCDOS) but you split it up into functional areas or modules that are loaded on demand into a reserved area of your 64k address space.

I think author's point is someone that has more experience than another, as in he worked more years as a programmer, does not make that person automatically better than the other. I mean, duh. People are different, in my opinion programming is as much as talent as it is experience.

People seems to be confusing it with (rightfully, because that is what title says) "does more experience make you, or anyone else, better than what he used to be". Also obviously correct

As others have said, while this looks exploitative to modern eyes it was in the context where having a women serve in the quasi-military context of Trek was almost absurdly progressive. At the time, NASA refused to contemplate putting women in space, despite the efforts of a shadow training programme (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_13) - far more misogynistic.

Trek also featured an interracial kiss (not quite the first, but nearly) at a time when interracial marriage was still illegal in several states. It was very much the SJW show of its time.

That might just be some kind of fatigue because I've experienced the opposite recently!

I've been a happy user of Visual Studio Code's default dark theme for a few years, and one day I snapped and just couldn't stand looking at it anymore. I switched to Solarized Light (yeah) and I find it extremely refreshing. I just had to tweak the color for "deleted block" in the scrollbar which was way too close to the "compilation error" color.

I guess some people just need change sometimes!
My solution is that alien cultures realize there isn't any point to deep space exploration:

1. They need energy and any suitable source will do

2. Space is mostly the same. Why explore another star's gas giant when they have their own?

3. They just like hanging out in their Matrix...which is what they would be doing if they traveled twenty light years

So why go to the trouble of changing your location?

What I find is that with dark mode I can spot details better - a missing bracket for example. But with light mode I can see the bigger picture better - I can scroll through a page and find what I want more quickly. This, I'm sure, is a very subjective experience.

So I use light mode now all the time. That said, dark mode will always look cooler.
It's interesting that you would think that cars designed from scratch as EVs would be frunk free - it makes more sense to put storage space at the back and reduce the size of the front for aerodynamics.

But as we're used to cars with a bulge upfront, how long will cars retain it. You could imagine an F150 Lightning with the front sloping down from the windscreen like a Lamborghini, which would probably improve performance - but might be a hard sell.

Sounds like there are a few things being mixed in there. I'm not really that convinced that solar panels are any more subject to damage than they would otherwise be. Maybe you gain a little in terms leak proofing by having a normal roof underneath but it's a lot of material for a marginal gain. Typically roofs these days are constructed with an impermeable plastic sheeting which is waterproof in its own right but requires protection from the elements (particularly the sun).

It's impressive that they managed to make a DC electrical connection proprietary though!
I would love to get intuition about this, but everytime I try to read about it I get lost in the math behind Lagrangians etc... and never get the intuition.

Specifically, I'd love the intuition behind why it must be so that if the laws of physics are time/position invariant, it must be impossible to create or destroy energy/momentum.

This because I can perfectly imagine a universe where you can create/destroy energy or momentum at will, yet have this work with the same physics at any time or position (e.g. a battlemage in some RPG able to cast fireball spells with heat and momentum out of nothing, where it works the same no matter at what position or point in time the battlemage is). So what about Lagrangians is preventing this, in an intuitively imaginable way?

It's true that it's most likely to be someone you know.

But sexual harassment from strangers is extremely common. Assault less so, yes, but you can be sure that every woman you've ever met has or will be harassed, that she's been cat called, flashed, groped, cornered in, been made to feel uncomfortable or objectified.

This is enough to imbue random approaches with a sense of uncertainty and danger. She never knows if you'll be the one to add to the statistics.

Keep in mind also that the statistic of most assault coming from close family/friends doesn't mean other forms are rare. Most women experience multiple assaults throughout their lives.

Keep also in mind that most sexual crime goes unreported and that things like groping on public transport can be so common that most women wouldn't even think of reporting it.

Keep in mind also that statistics aren't what we base our fear on. I know I'm statistically unlikely to have a bad car crash going to the shop but I'll still put my seatbelt on.

Further to that, consider the pain that can be caused to victims when we essentially shut them down and say their fear is misplaced (read feelings are invalid) and that they should look more at the data than their own lived experiences.

As a final note I highly encourage you to talk and listen to the women around you
Yes, that is the biggest question. Understanding where it happened may give us some clues of course.
There's something I intuitively dislike about the early human hypothesis to the Fermi paradox. It seems too much like geocentric Earth hypothesis or the long line of hypotheses which suggest us humans are special in some way. We rarely are.

I find the Fermi paradox fascinating though because non of the proposed answers satisfy me. These days I tend to think it's likely there are few compounding factors instead of any one single factor. I quite like the idea that intelligent life probably is fairly rare (so maybe we are quite early) and that the intelligent life that does evolve is fairly likely to either destroy itself or to simply lose interest in the analogue world with time. Personally I think if there is intelligent life out there most of it is probably living in digital worlds because why use energy exploring and explaining this universe when you can just create your own?

On the less likely but interesting side of things I also wonder if it suggests simulation sometimes. If everything points to us being quite uncommon then at some point it becomes reasonable to ask if it's even a question of probability but instead perhaps one of intention. If you see 10 dice on a table and all are showing a 6 on the face, you probably wouldn't think, "oh, how unlikely", but instead assume it was intended. But then again simulation theory is a good answer to all hard questions so I'm not that keen on it either. I just think it's most compelling in the context of the Fermi paradox and our seemingly fine-tuned universe.

We’ll need to come back to the elephant in the room: software/video games.
Solid points. from what we’ve seen it defers between different companies.

Each company has its own preferences, some find it less optimal to send IDs to a 3rd party, and some don’t want to host it themself, and this is why we built it to be entirely modular.
It means you can either use a vendor in the backend (for fraud, file storage, AML, or anything else) or do stuff on your own, we want to make sure the underlying infrastructure won't break when you mix and match those. we do it by standardizing the data and how all modules talk with each other.

From what we’ve seen it really depends on what service the company is giving, who are the customers, and sometimes the size of the company.

In both a universe with few "grabby" civilizations, and a universe with many non-grabby civilizations there would be countless lifeforms, just more or less diversely distributed among civilizations. In either of these universes us here being as early as we are is equally "suspect".

Should I assume humans will soon achieve immortality and stop breeding (or just go extinct) just because it makes me less of an outlier? Cause that seems to lead to the exact opposite conclusions, just by putting the delineation point at an individual rather than a civilization.

"Furthermore, we should believe that loud aliens exist, as that’s our most robust explanation for why humans have appeared so early in the history of the universe."
The most robust explanation for humans appearing so early is that yeah, it seems we did appear early, someone had to - since it doesn't assume an entire model of intergalactic civilizations.

Trovinto is build on top of natural language models, to understand the job requirements, pose open ended questions to the candidate and be able to evaluate the responses.

I believe this will replace multiple choice, static assessments for very specific roles, and allow firms to discover people with rounded profiles, or who have great abstract understanding of technology but lack photographic memory to ace a (memory) multiple choice test.

My favorite song for testing these audio compression algorithms is Adele’s hello because any changes to her voice instantly pop out.

It did a great job of reducing FLAC size from 100mb to less than 1mb using stereo 24kbps preset but audio quality suffers a lot in some places. Maybe training it with 48kbps or 64kbps would make it a feasible alternative for storing music without much quality loss.

In comparison, lame insane preset (320kbps) produces 12mb mp3 with almost indistinguishable quality from flac.

Russian media hates the Soviet Union other than the vague idea of it as a continuation of a pan-Russian empire, so I'm not sure how you're jumping from "Cold War era US was untrustworthy" to me being pro-Russia (which I'm not, Putin is a fascist). I'm not even pro-Soviet Union or pro-German Democratic Republic (because I'm not a fan of oppressive governments even if they get a red coat of paint).

We have a lot more transparency and insight today (in part thanks to the advancement of modern technologies like the Internet) and Germany has matured beyond being a direct pawn in an international conflict (in part because the US won the Cold War and Russia is politically irrelevant in the grand scheme of things). But projecting the current state (and the public perception of it) back on the Cold War era is ahistorical.

Did you forget the purge of leftist (not just Soviet-aligned) organizations both under McCarthy but well into the Civil Rights era? The US participation in the Vietnam War, which was protested worldwide not just in the US? The Cuban Missile Crisis? I realize many of these events were perceived very differently in the US but from the POV of a country stuck right in the middle of the two world powers the US was just as likely to pull the trigger (or provoke the other party into doing so) as the Soviets.

The Cold War was decidedly not a "just war" (unlike WW2, arguably) but a power play between two nuclear super powers continuously threatening to end the world as we know it at a whim. The fear of nuclear annihilation is why there's still a strong bias against nuclear energy to this day. Positive public perception of the US in Germany was largely an aftereffect of the post-war era and a response to fear of possible Soviet revanchism for German war crimes.

Heck, the Marshall Plan was publicly perceived as an act of charity when in reality it was a loans program strongly tied to anti-communism (again exceeding mere "anti Soviet influence" but targeting leftist politics in general) and had the goal of building up Western Europe and West Germany as a bulwark against the Soviet Union.

Say what you will about Americans, US organizations or even how the US government has changed since then, but the Cold War era US government was scary and much like the Soviet Union felt more like a force of nature than a diplomatic ally you could reason with.

I'm glad Bolsonaro didn't win, but this clearly doesn't end Brazil's troubles. Bolsonaro still got a lot of votes, and it was a very tight race. On top of that, Lula isn't exactly perfect either. Brazil needs better candidates. A healthier political system where those better candidates rise to the top.

Of course the same is true for the US. Or for most countries, really. But somehow appointing leaders based on popularity and a willingness to work to attain power, does not seem to produce a lot of candidates immune to corruption or other forms of power hunger.

I stopped reading the article after reading this sentence - and I agreed with everything the author stated until then.

Mass shootings, suicides and rapes have happened because of the content of KF and ED.

If you provide shelter for the racist, misogynist, homophobic, Nazi and automated weapons fanatic, then you deserve to be censored. Let's not forget that the explicit purpose of KF is to run harassment and doxxing campaigns.

I believe that, as a society, we need to deal with people that, for a variety of reasons, have been isolated and pushed to the extremes, instead of further isolating them. But handing them a loudhailer to spread their hate and misanthropy isn't the right way of dealing with them. Your freedom of speech ends when your words cause the murder, rape, beating or harassment of another human being. And, more generally, your freedom ends when it harms somebody else's freedom. If we lose this principle, then we have lost civilization.

Building communities around ideas that damage the society as a whole and justify people's most extreme beliefs is just wrong. When too much momentum builds around these ideas, they stop being a virtual pastime for trolls with plenty of time to waste and they spill into the real world. Real people die. Real lives are ruined. And a civilized society ought to draw a clear boundary to prevent these things from happening. We have to deal with the marginalized and the mentally shaky by including them back into society. Not by providing them with a platform to connect with others in the same state, consolidate their extremism, and create individuals that are even more unsuitable for being reintegrated into society than they were before.

Granted, it's not always easy for regulators to draw this line, there are a lot of shades of gray, and we need to keep those in charge accountable for unfair censorship. But there's really no gray area for KF and ED. If you host them, then you deserve to be unplugged.
Space is really big, and radio emissions are really weak. The strongest isotropic radio emissions from Earth (e.g. high power TV broadcasts) would be indistinguishable from background radiation at only a light year or two away. One study [0] suggests that directed radio emissions an order of magnitude more powerful than the most powerful radio emitters on Earth could be detectable at ~100 light years (1/1000 the diameter of the Milky Way), but our detector would have to be perfectly aligned with the transmission at the exact time it reaches Earth.
