I covered them in high school, but in isolation. I think it'd have to be a dedicated high school program explicitly built to cover differential equations and tie them back to physics and then also get far enough into EM for that to be the way you can teach about radios. Not even remotely all high school students could handle that and I think even in an accelerated program you'd have to consciously be sacrificing something else to get there, e.g., organic chemistry or something. There's only so much time.

I mean, even in college, the physics I took that did EM with full, undiluted multivariable calculus was considered the accelerated/advanced track. "Normal" EM worked with a lot less math.

I'm sure the 1950s kids were indeed learning handwaving approximations. That's not a criticism. You can get a long way on good handwaving approximations.
Why do Americans need amber alerts? How

Facebook (and Google Search) are the most widely used software on Earth, ~3-4B MAUs each. I don't know what else something needs to do to qualify for "world runs on [it]".
I take your point, but you can get the behavior of your first example, while still marking the default branch with std::unreachable(), by asserting the preconditions before the switch. This seems to me to be a pretty general equivalence.

So what does std::unreachable() do here? In this particular case, and with NDEBUG defined and any level of optimization selected, I suspect that, at a minimum, the switch would be replaced as you have shown in all versions - it would take a more complex example to show how std::unreachable() makes a difference. The point is, now we have a choice - and it is one that is being offered without creating any backwards-compatibility issues.

Furthermore, the original function, without assertions, is not guaranteed to crash, with or without std::unreachable(). You need some explicit checks to get a desirable response in the case where a mistake has been made, and that option is just as available whether or not you use std::unreachable().

Therefore, while I agree you have shown that not all broken variants of a given program are equivalent, this does not show that std::unreachable() is harmful.

Oh for sure, I figured it was a very likely outcome that I would end up laid off. I just didn't know when/how. By that point, I had whittled down spending to ~30% of my net income prior to layoffs, without any tangible sacrifice (to me).
You're right, my bad: Wikipedia only mentions them in the "animation" section of the side panel, while the actual article only mentions Frederator and Powerhouse.

My reply was incorrect, and I'm not trying to move the goalposts, but it has to be said that the studios you listed have animated many of what would be considered "western" shows: Ben 10, Spiderman, and Animaniacs show up in the credits for Mua Film and Tiger Animation.

My intent was not to focus on the American aspect as much as the "this is very much a western production, unlike what Netflix is trying to imply." I should have worded it better.

I'm getting a bit of a sense of the making it controversial vibe here too. For instance I don't find Michio and Sabine's viewpoints in conflict. Theories can take a long time for confirmation and even a long time before they can even be considered science. Sabine has a problem with calling it science or believing in the 'existence of mathematics'. I have a problem with that because we have found mathematical anomalies to exist: singularities/black holes, cosmological constant/inflation. That dispute seems to be about where to put research resources, which comes down to personal convictions and how much support you can raise for them. Roger of course isn't having any of the controversy building: "What are we talking about here?"

The two points I found the most interesting were Michio's description of multiple things existing in the same space but we're only 'tuned into' one of them and Roger's theory of a continuous series of big bangs which he didn't care to discuss because it has nothing to do with multiverse(s).

I've been dreaming of a way of isolating and standardizing installations across Linux and macOS using chroot for a few years. Ideally Windows as well, but I'm not at all familiar with it, although if it's POSIX, it should be possible.

Docker is cool on Linux, but having to virtualize an entire OS everywhere else is just too needlessly slow for situations where you just need to make sure you're running the same stack, not needing to ship the entire machine.
I'm more worried about what the current system incentivises.

This is a valid concern in a recession but there are different niches and business models. Facebook has been very profitable selling ads but that’s not the only option, and there are opportunities which might be a good fit for a small company which a big one is structurally incapable of finding. After the dotcom crash, I knew several people who found solid niches selling services to other businesses - it didn’t have the hypergrowth potential of something like an ad-supported social network but most of those fail, and there’s a lot of money in less sexy industries.
In 2000 some people still worked with paper rolodex. We need to keep things in perspective. The world changed massively in the last 20 years, everything is software and software is almost everything. There are a lot of contributing factors to this economy which are unrelated to the actual demand and value of software. There will not be an oversaturation of software engineering for a while to come.

If memory serves, Meta is cutting a lot of non tech jobs. Engineers might lose their jobs if entire projects are scrapped, but maybe a different position will be offered to them.

I hope that everyone is looking at Twitter and learning what not do: no company wants to beg some engineers to come back after being too quick to pull the trigger.
Yes, but you get a social security which is without par. Including one year Arbeitslosgeld (in most situations), health insurance, the works. I always find it funny that we compare these things. In the USA the salaries are superhigh, but lo and behold if something happens to your crystal perfect life. And in life shit happens. A disease, an accident, an unwanted pregnancy. There is so much that might go off, you can literally drown in debts before you even know it.
Mobile is a mess. Are you Android or iPhone?

I don't know much about Android, but Apple wanted so badly to offer the "real internet" on the iPhone yhat they overrode lots of default browser events behavior.

Things like mouseup just don't get triggered if the user scrolls first, and scrollevents are sent infrequently.

Don't get me started on pinch to zoom which uses TWO invisible rectangles to show content.

Chrome on Android is much more sane.
Because Apple spends billions of dollars, for them fighting for user privacy and keeping all your data on the phone being a news.
That really puts loyalty towards your employer into perspective, doesn’t it?

I'm thinking of a "tank" more in terms of some continuity with the current concept of operations regardless of the exact hardware. Navy destroyers look completely different today than they did during WW2 but still perform the same missions. This notional future tank will probably share some components with a family of other similar AFVs, but will be optimized for striking hard targets rather than for troop transport, air defense, or whatever other AFV roles are needed.

This is probably next on their list. I know they were at least thinking about one the last time I saw someone ask about it.
"So in principle, it seems as though, by moderating demand, we could see vacancies come down, and as a result—and they could come down fairly significantly and I think put supply and demand at least closer together than they are, and that that would give us a chance to have lower—to get inflation—to get wages down and then get inflation down without having to slow the economy and have a recession and have unemployment rise materially. So there’s a path to that."

Had a decade of asset inflation, that was fine. A quarter or two of wage inflation and everyone loses their minds.

Elixir has been backwards compatible since v1.0, released more than 7 years ago. Phoenix has also been API stable for a similar period of time and Ecto for 4+ years.

LiveView has changed over time but that’s precisely why it is on a 0.x release cycle. Even then, we do our best to deprecate first whenever possible. But the goal is that established projects have been stable.

In any case, LiveView is nearing 1.0 now, which makes us comfortable enough to promote it as part of the default Phoenix experience.

>I was getting alerts from many hundreds of miles away.

Isn't part of the issue that when a child is taken, the assumption is that the kidnapper will immediately flee the area? I think hundreds, plural, might be excessive, but it wouldn't be unreasonable to notify people within a certain distance based on high speed and how much time has passed; maybe 50-100 miles?

I can see getting annoyed at multiple messages, but it's also important to remember that working with time sensitive emergency services is a extraordinarily difficult thing. It's like, everything is important all at once, and your mind can only process it all so fast. It's extremely time sensitive, and if you mess up any of the details, you are directly delaying the proceedings.

I haven't had to issue anything like an Amber Alert, thank God, but I did have to relay some information from a victims family to a supporting organization, and basically screwed it up the first time around. I ended up having to end the call with the family, call the organization to see what they needed, call the family back, then call them again with the relevant details. It was an incredibly brutal thing. You can feel the rawness of the emotion through the phone for the people. In my own experience, like, I could hear people crying and screaming in the background. It's this insanely personal moment for them, but you kind of have to force your way in the middle of it to make something happen. The person who I started off with had to hand the phone over because they thought they were about to pass out. It's really a very difficult to communicate in the midst of a crisis.

Anyway, I'm not sure which area you're in, but from my own experience, the very few times I've gotten one, it was always very succinct and clear. Child's name, description of their clothes, make/model/license plate of car, which direction they were headed, and when it happened.

I certainly don't blame you for turning off the alerts, or for being annoyed at the emergency services. The point wasn't to finger wag or whatever, it was just to say that it's extremely difficult to do, let alone do well.
> he maturity to make decisions based on what you're genuinely passionate about.

I make decisions based on whats best for my family. I want to make maximum amount of money for my labor. There is nothing wrong with comparing yourself with your peers. I actually find "follow your passion" advice incredibly toxic and anxiety inducing. No one is really passionate about writing enterprise code. I am talking about just regular people, you know like 99% of ppl doing coding jobs for money.
Clean tech also seems big - even if the Republicans did manage to gut federal support for renewables (I’m doubtful given e.g. how much money Texas wind farms are making) consumer trends are looking solid and a lot of state policies represent locked-in market.
It's hard to take two numbers in isolation that we don't really use day to day and make any kind of sense of them. It's only when you graph a few countries together[0] that you see:

1. the US is somewhat of an outlier, while Germany is grouped together with other wealthy countries

2. the US' Gini has been steadily growing last few decades - implying inequality is getting worse

3. Germany's Gini is very slightly declining in the last few decades - implying it's staying roughly stable

I don't think higher-than-average is particularly good at all - you're in the neighbourhood of places like Qatar, Iran, DRC and Argentina. In fact the only way you'd use Gini to suggest the US has a ok level of wealth inequality is if you presented two countries Gini coefficients side-by-side to someone who doesn't normally think about Gini, presented them without any other context and said "look, they're kinda close"

What are you talking about? This cycle is well-known and follows a roughly 7 year pattern and has done so since the start of the industrial era 200 years ago. Even prior to that there were economic cycles in the years 1000-1700. Whether these cycles should leave ordinary people in financial ruin is a completely different matter.

Anyone who says that to him will get fired, and that makes sense: In his mind, if you don't believe the vision that he's going all in in, then you're just detracting.
Yup. I suspect a lot of these folks are living in overpriced rental apartments in SF (and Brooklyn).
I suspect it's all automated, and since the vast majority are custody issues, there's probably something like "you were supposed to hand over your daughter by 10 PM, but we don't count it as late until after midnight, and THEN your ex-wife has to call and complain, and by the time it's in the system it's 3 AM, and the system automatically sends the alert".

And then they don't even send another alert saying she was found safe and sound sleeping at her dad's house.

Free money hasn't run out, it's simply stopped growing as quickly. Then again it grew massively during COVID so FAANG is still ahead of where they'd have been if not for COVID. Meta revenue is DOUBLE what it was 3 years ago.

> 200x200 is relatively large for pixel art, but if a single pixel makes this much of a difference it should probably be larger.

Huh? Half the point of pixel art is that single pixels make a difference. That art is way above the threshold where one pixel can make too much of a difference.
For anyone hearing the term 'Amber Alert' for the first time:

> An Amber Alert (or child abduction emergency alert) is a message distributed by a child abduction alert system to ask the public for help in finding abducted children. The system originated in the United States. [1]

Alerts are distributed via "pagers, faxes, emails, and cell phones with the information immediately posted on the Internet for the general public to view" and have the aim of "ask(ing) the public for help in finding abducted children".

A report indicates around 200 Amber Alerts are issued per year in the US: https://www.missingkids.org/content/dam/missingkids/pdfs/amb...

You haven't been to poorer countries where the equivalent of $10 is a lot, so good luck getting a market for $119 software there.
Thank you for the info. I think I found the equivalent on my Android phone, seems it's the "Emergency Alerts" section of the Settings app. I've never received one though.
I think the blockchain as a deliberately computationally expensive ledger is an interesting idea, and at least a plausible account of what resource could count as a commodity.

It is certainly why BTC tends to have a implied floor around cost-to-mint; but that is more the psychology of its use. It's floor is zero, as with anything: whilst a token on a blockchain has no productive value below its (energy) cost-to-mint, that doesnt create buyers at any positive price.

One issue is that I don't see deliberately making computation less efficient as something unique to blockchains: we can make present systems abitarily energy-intensive by adding hash-computation work to them. We dont need immutability and distribution to do that.

However, I'm not sure in a world wish such high negative externalities on energy consumption, selling deliberately high energy cost computation is plausible. Unless spam can be shown to have similar externalities, as a problem, it's vastly less significant than our global energy crisis.

Services which perform computation to reduce spam, almost certainly, perform far less than the blockchain alternative. Minting a coin for each YT video uploaded is a vastly inferior solution than: 1) YT charging for posting videos; 2) YT building & running anti-spam systems; 3) YT charging users for access to videos; 4) YT requiring users having to hash something before uploading, so costing them some energy, etc.

Indeed, (1) solves all the problems in a vastly more efficient way for every person involed.

Another helpful and calming thought that works for me is to "know" that "my system decided" to release that exact level of stored up emotions, because it is confident that I can deal with that amount right in that moment, and that self-regulation will take care not to overwhelm me but always only give me as much as I can handle.
There's a massive difference between ICOs and VC investments.

1. VCs can fire the CEO/founder of the startup. You can't fire anyone and have zero control as an ICO investor.

2. VCs sit in the board of the startup and get to review performance and finances. ICOs were completely private from their investors. Token founder using $1m project money to buy a yacht? Nothing you can do nor would you know about it.

3. In the US, VCs are registered with the SEC in order to invest in startups. ICOs started by allowing anyone to invest, which preyed on the poor and uninformed.

The market capitalization of projects that did token sales before 2017 is orders of magnitude greater than the amount invested in token sales before 2017, meaning investors in pre-2017 token sales are, in the aggregate, massively up.

The few lucky ones who invested in Ethereum and held are massively up. The thousands of other projects scammed investors.

I felt the same way for years. I don’t recall which track changed my mind, but I started liking him when I had a realization that his music has a childlike element to it that I haven’t heard in any other artist. He often rebels against traditional electronic song structures, preferring instead to create sprawling expanses that finish in a very different place from where they start.

I started loving his music after I noticed how much care goes into each track, and the wide array of technique he employs.

Xtal, Ziggomatic 17, Fenix Funk 5, Mookid, 4, T69 Collapse… these tracks sonically have little in common with each other, except that they all sound vaguely “Aphexy” as a result of his trademark playfulness and high quality of polish.
> Are there other options besides: 1. locally hosted resources, 2. an annoying consent popup?

As far as I understand it, the only situation where you are allowed to send a third party request without consent is one where there are no other ways to achieve whatever the request is in service of, and that whatever itself has to be something you don't need consent for ofc. Assuming I've got that right, then that's a no for images, JS and CSS.

This is very far from Zuck's first mistake. In any case, though, I offered an alternative: making himself accountable to the board of directors. He is not accountable. He can't be fired, he can only resign. The fundamental problem is that Zuck gets to define the terms of his own accountability, which is almost an oxymoron.
