I suspect that there are applications and industries that cannot fully be decarbonized. For example, steel production. So anything that can capture carbon from that (8% of global CO2 emissions, I believe) would be fantastic.
From experience i find the opposite to be true in the uk. Big companies first shed permanent employees then bring consultants. Less hassle for them even if it appears more expensive. Matter of fact large uk banks and corps are known to rely heavily on contractors even in good times. Usually the value they get is also higher as contractors are more experienced.

Technically generators still only have one return value: an Iterable. That Iterable represents an object with a "next()" callback and you can entirely write by hand Iterables as simple dumb objects if you like. (The generator function syntax makes it a lot easier to build complex state machines, but most languages aren't going to stop you if you prefer to write your state machine by hand.)

Are you asking whether it's a good time to start freelancing full time or at all?

If the former, my advice is usually that if you have to ask, the answer is no. If you have enough work piling up to require you to freelance full time, then freelance full time. Otherwise, you're asking for pain. In my experience, the people who do well as a freelancer already have a solid professional reputation established, a network of people who are eager to give them work, etc.

If the latter, then yes, absolutely. IMO: every software engineer should take on freelance work every once in a while (time and circumstances permitting). Handling the entire end-to-end process (sales, discovery, implementation, delivery, payment, etc -- not necessarily in that order) not only helps build understanding of why things happen the way they do at work (especially if you work at an agency/consulting firm), but it helps to build communication skills that are helpful to your day job.
I have heard exactly the same sentiment from women here in the UK. Not a single one of the women I have spoken to about this realise they are participating in an arms race.

Possibly naive question from someone who's never worked with this kind of language, but something I've been wondering about:

> it is possible to prove mathematically that your code behaves in precise accordance with its specification

So that bridges from one thing to another; but what prevents flaws in the specification itself? Is it just simpler/easier to read than the code is, so they're easier to spot?
Yep, definitely. I just know when I moved there one of the first things I was told was "install Line" and I got to smile and say "I've had line for years." (because I collect social apps for fun)
This got me to do a quick search, which yields https://www.nhtsa.gov/nhtsas-crash-test-dummies. I'm curious how they pick which dummies to use, as they have 5th percentile for women there.

That said, it does seem to contradict the notion in the headline, at least.

Edit: I think being fair to the concept of the article, the claim is the dummies in my link are just scaled down versions of each other?
Back End Without ORM

> But honestly, dont see issue. Men are loosing nothing in this. Male dummies will continue to be used too.

You're right of course, but I think the deeper issue is that crash dummies and tests are designed just for the "average" and that many people fall outside of this "average". As a 2 metre tall bloke I've sat in many cars where the head rest just doesn't raise high enough for example, which always struck me as a fairly serious but also easily fixable shortcoming.

So the thing is that the issue of female crash dummies is a special case of the wider "crash tests should represent a wide range of people". Of course women of various shapes and sizes should be included in that, but also men of various shapes and sizes. By focusing so strongly on only specific groups (women in this case), I think sometimes these larger issues get kind of lost, even though the specific focus isn't really a bad thing in itself. e.g. stuff like "well, we included women now, which is what you wanted, so job done!" ... well, no...

Agree. The moment you get into "Well, Mastodon is distributed networking software with different nodes, and you've got to ..." you have already lost a large percent of users. People expect to fill out a familiar registration form, and immediately be able to see/write posts.

I think a lot of the complexity of it could be hidden away so that the average user has a similar experience to a Twitter signup, but idk how much friction it would cause to make something like this appear centralized.
In a car crash, that is, per crash, women are much more likely than men to die or be seriously injured.

Men are involved in many, many more crashes overall, but in a car crash, cars are currently designed to protect men better than women.

I believe, even if I have not tried yet to do this, that you can do this in Linux if you create one or more virtual network interfaces in some namespaces, and you ensure that only that interface or those interfaces get IP addresses.

Then any program that is not run inside the namespace with configured virtual network interfaces can see only unconfigured interfaces, so it will not be able to open and connect sockets.

The Internet browser and any other program that needs network access, e.g. a NTP server, DHCP client, e-mail client etc., can be run inside the namespace with an IP-configured network interface.

The same could be done in FreeBSD by using a jail for the programs that need network access.

Obviously, this would not be enough to prevent network access for a program that would be aware of this configuration and would try to circumvent it, because such a program could list the network namespaces and try to execute itself, or another helping program, inside the network namespace. For complete isolation, all the programs for which network access is not desired would have to be executed inside a distinct namespace. That requires a more complex configuration.
If you deal with csv (or their tab separated cousins..) libre office sheets (spreadsheet) is really great.

I'm on linux desktop now and this lets me read and write MS office files and works quite well.
Not sure what you mean, I think that is a valid point.
Imagine you have function that returns elements. In order to return each element, you need to do some time-consuming calculation. You don't know how many elements the users of your function will need. Some may need 13 items. Some the first 500. Others might be interested in knowing only the first item.

Let's say that your sequence has a maximum size of 1000. If you were to return an array, you'd need to construct the full array each time, even if the code that calls your function only needs 1 item.

Using a generator, you can write the code once, and it is performant across different use cases.

To be clear, I do think that patent searching has improved. My point is that it hasn't kept up with the shear number of documents available.

You have a point about the switch to computerized searches. Searching by examiners used to be looking through paper files, not microfiche, though. But patent search technology hasn't improved appreciably since full text patent search was introduced in the 1990s. There have been a lot of new documents to search in the past 25 years alone, yet there have been few changes to examining time.

Also, full text search is probably not as useful as you think for patent examination. For many technologies it's the best way to search, but for many others (like a lot of what I examine), text search is much less useful than simply flipping through a ton of documents, looking at the drawings. It's common that important details exist only in the drawings or are most easily spotted in the drawings. So this limits the improvement one gets from switching to computerized searches.

And, there's a big advantage to paper documents that wasn't maintained during the switch. From what I'm told there were a lot of useful notes from previous examiners written on the patent documents. Those notes were entirely thrown out when the USPTO switched to computerize searches. They could have digitized them, but USPTO upper management isn't known for thinking ahead. That's a loss of a lot of institutional knowledge. At present there is no way for examiners to share margin notes, and there should be.

(Again, like my other comments here, this is just my opinion, not that of the USPTO or US government.)
I am of a different opinion. I agree that SVT Play is technically well built and the service is useful. Also, there are good programs to be found. But I think it could be much better. For example the DW Documentary channel, which can be found on Youtube, has better documentaries on average, than are broadcast on SVT. Also, I feel like SVT has an abnoxious tendency to lecture their audience. I don't feel I am treated as an adult, but I am told what to think.

Women have less bone density and less muscle mass than men. In an equivalent physical trauma situation they are more likely to be hurt than men, as both the physical reaction in the face of danger is less agile/powerful and the body is more fragile. Both of these apply even moreso when controlling a bicycle, because of the more direct control nuances and the greater force disparity (exposure to cars and obstacles around you).

I’ve never taken a bus, always a metro. It’s not “bad” but again, so many reasons I just prefer a car.

All my stuff is in it, I can eat in peace, cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Of course, with the drawback of you have to operate it all yourself.

> Rich people are the people that complain when things are dirty or late

Why do you have to be rich to have standards? I’ve been a broke college kid and would be mad if the car was dirty or late.

A lady here was recently assaulted while riding the bus. I don’t think she was rich. She just asked a group of teens to stop yelling.

If people want to take a train, that’s awesome. Less traffic for me :) it’s just preference.

There are a few variables to this. Are you a contractor or consultant (there is a difference). What you offer (warm body or solution). Location. Target companies size and industry sector. Economy status. Personal relationships with clients.

I started in '09 in the midst of the Great Recession, and did well. Companies were laying off, but still had projects needing done. Between 2010-2020, I also did well. 2020-now, I'm doing OK, but half the work, with regular (non-tech sector) clients have been worried about the economy, holding back on non-essential projects.

The biggest intangible though is how hard you're willing to go out and sell yourself. You have to have more than just knowledge, you have to have belief in what you're selling--which is yourself. If you can sell yourself, you'll do ok.

Yeah, and it’s Bitcoin withdrawals, nobody expects it to be anywhere near instant. I doubt the market place set its transaction fees very high either.

But then you have to create a queue that only runs 1 transaction per second. I guess another imperfect but simpler way is to create a batch file of transactions, execute hourly, but randomize or sort the sequence in a way to make sure related transactions aren’t executed together.

I think a lot of people are missing the point here. It doesn't matter that the US does this or not (at least not to this case). What matters is that there is still a large part of the US population who thinks only the US does it, and that it doesn't happen to us.

A lot of people with strongly held beliefs got those from foreign propaganda, and it's important to realize that. And it's not just the right wing. A lot of left wing propaganda comes from outside as well.

Their goal is to cause discord and infighting, because as long as the US is infighting it won't be effective projecting its power outside, which is their ultimate goal.
What I'm missing, and we all should, are all the other mechanisms - whatever you call them computers or not - which came before this one. Or after.

There has been a move toward centralization in the NFT space with Opensea and Magiceden marketplaces completely dominating the space, largely to the detriment of projects and / or users. One recent example: project royalties are now optional, so projects relying on these royalties from sales have had the rug pulled out from under them.

I expect we'll start to see some backlash where major new NFT projects build more safeguards into their contracts to try and reel back in some of the control the marketplaces have gained.
Deceptive title. No answer, just magical thinking about people ignoring their incentives.

Here’s an idea, not a great one, but something: torts and bonds. Regulators specify public-interest outcomes and associated monetary values, which are the bonding requirements. Then public interest lawyers sue for a maximum of the existing bond on the grounds of any violation of the public interest outcomes. The plaintiff would be required to pay the the non-refundable public cost of the court case. It is important these court cases would not be based on intent or following standards, or technical merit; they are strictly about outcomes defined and valued by the bond.

This would push technical standards and project evaluation into the insurance industry, and the finance industry would select their tolerable level of innovation and risk in each bonding pool. It is important here that the bonds be actual dollars held in trust, and not just letters of credit, and additionally, that no government agency provides finance or insurance in any form.

It would have the obvious side-effect of requiring a lot of up-front capital to do anything, and tying up a lot of capital, which would have a huge range of risk, and therefore interest rates, as a project amortizes out its tort risk over time. The bonds would only be recoverable by torts, successful decommission of the project, or more realistically, subsidizing renewal of the project.

The macroeconomic effect would be deflationary as the bonds would basically be a burn pit for dollars, but this would open up opportunities for more efficient public funding through central bank bond purchases and the elimination of tax burden. It would also massively reduce the public burden of regulation and administration, especially as the tort fees would pay for it. I think it would also promote localization of investment, as the bonding capital would be a high-yield investable asset most appropriately held or rejected by the people knowledgeable and/or responsible for the quality of the result, which is the community itself.
