Sargon also means "true king," an appropriate name for someone who probably killed his brother to usurp the throne and had plenty of legitimacy problems as a result. Moving the capital of the empire away from Kalhu to the newly-built fortress city of Dur-Sharrukin was in part an attempt to get away from his enemies and surround himself with loyal men. The capital Dur-Sharrukin was not destroyed in war. Rather, Sargon II died in battle and his body was not recovered, which was considered a very bad omen. This halted construction on the city and Sargon's successor, Sennacherib, moved the capitol yet again to Ninevah. It remained lightly used thereafter as an administrative center until it was abandoned at the fall of the empire. Part of the reason why Dur-Sharrukin was such a nice archeological site is because it wasn't destroyed in antiquity, but rather abandoned. (Modern war seems to have destroyed a lot there, how much is unclear.) Also, it was inhabited for about 100 years, so the stratigraphic record was really straightforward.

If you find yourself in Chicago, you can see carved stone reliefs and a lamassu from the palace at Dur-Sharrukin at the Oriental Institute Museum at the University of Chicago.
Counterpoint regarding C and C++ is the famous “Worse is Better” essay by famed Lisp hacker Richard Gabriel:

https://www.dreamsongs.com/RiseOfWorseIsBetter.html

C was the implementation language of AT&T Unix. The operating system spread across universities in the 1970s due to AT&T’s inexpensive licensing to them, including source code. Unix, though its variants and clones, became the dominant operating system with most competitors either dying out or adopting Unix.

Both C and C++ also had the benefits of being the “blessed” languages of Windows (for example, Win32 is a C API, and MFC is a C++ API). Even in the days of the classic Mac, while Pascal was originally the language of choice, eventually in the 1990s C would be “blessed” by Apple.

Now, to your original question. No idea which of the early Lisps qualify exactly as such, or until when.
I assume when stock prices are down, then more stock is granted to make up for it no? Obviously, the stock continuing to fall after the grant will result in less tc.
If looking for exact or near-exact duplicates, a transformer seems like it's probably overkill. Maybe it's not bad if you already have one that you can use for inference in the database, but I suspect that something as simple as Fasttext would do the job. A transformer would probably be more useful if you want to catch things like replacing words with synonyms out of a thesaurus.
> Sending crypto to someone in Iran or Russia is against the law independent of how you do it.

One thing to keep in mind: laws are not always just.

I believe it's okay to sometimes not follow the law, if the law is unjust. One example: in WW2 Germany there were many laws against minorities that were unjust [0]. Most law obedient people would follow these laws regardless.

Perhaps a person want to support his family in Iran or Russia that's going through difficult times. And perhaps crypto is the only way to help. In such cases I think it's okay to oppose the law.

I couldn't agree more. There is zero incentive to excel in any way. Solve something really cool? No one cares. Take the next task in the sprint. Spot a problem? Add it to the backlog (to be ignored) and do what you’re tol... I mean, take the next task in the sprint. Spot a problem, put together a solution, save or make a bunch of money for the company? Who told you to do that? That wasn’t the next task in the sprint.

lmaooooo. EA has always seemed like a bullshit larp for extremely online and naive people. i dont know how anyone took it seriously.

in the end this is just another retelling of the same old boring finance lessons Buffet or Taleb or Burry or hundreds before them know. high leverage is the only way to get rich QUICK but it can wipe you out just as quickly. crypto is generally bullshit, the leaders are mostly grifters and its good to see the tide finally revealing them for who they are.

no one seems to talk about how all the underlying concepts of finance apply identically to crypto as they do to any boring old currency, asset, stock, option or any financial instrument. but they do.. moving to a blockchain does not change any of that in the slightest.

> Still, the end of Mesopotamian records is abrupt. There's a written record from prehistory until the wars of around 700 BC, where the use of writing drops off but doesn't completely stop. But written records in Akkadian, the education of priests and scribes in Akkadian and Sumerian (itself dead for 2000 years by then as a purely liturgical language) basically stops after the fall of Babylon in 539 BC.

This probably isn't so much a move away from the use of writing, but a shift away from Akkadian cuneiform on clay tablets to Aramaic on vellum. Clay tablets, even unfired, survive a long time. Vellum doesn't in that climate.

The thing is, Bitcoin will always have intrinsic value even if everybody sell their coins because some idiots like me invested in this thing long time ago and lost their keys.

If hardware decoding support wasn't going to happen, is there really any problem with a polyfill since presumably the performance would be similar? I suppose if it's just one image, the weight of the polyfill download may make the savings in image compression worthless.
On some level I agree. However, a huge part of what made Twitter appealing to people is precisely that it was essentially one giant instance, with sort of shared culture and rules. While I think Mastodon is fine for some people, it may not have the same 'global appeal', limiting its ability to really be a Twitter replacement.
Based on what I see, my estimate is by 2030, but nobody really knows when we will see the first pulse.

They can and will give some stock refreshers (to those that aren't laid off or marked low performing) but I doubt they will make up for the large drops that happened this year, and the drops that are likely to keep happening over the next year. You have to do that when there is competition, but cross-industry reduction in demand and a want to actually shrink companies (attrition) for software developers means you don't have to do that to keep the number of people you want.

State governments rarely legislate against dominant local industries, even today, but to an even greater degree last century.

The problem is precisely that too much regularity makes the code harder to scan visually. The irregularity of various delimiters and separators helps to distinguish certain language elements from others.

There is power and elegance in syntactic uniformity, but Lisp in particular is hard to read until you train your eye to see through the nest of parentheses, and it's hard to write without something like Paredit assisting you.

Meanwhile I don't think anyone finds Haskell/ML syntax hard to read. The problem is more that, with idiomatic Haskell in particular, too much abstraction, currying, and un-descriptive variable names can obfuscate what a piece of code actually does.

Part of it may be due to the recent layoff's as well. For recruiters, that's a much warmer lead to work as the individuals have come from well known companies and maybe in a position to accept a lower salary range given the circumstance. Happened with the startup I worked at once. When recruiters find out the company is closing down, which is known prior to the public announcement, they start reaching out to place you elsewhere within the industry.
I'm sorry but these two points are extremely disconnected. EA really has no bearing on the financial mechanisms that undid SBF. Furthermore, although he was a prime donor to EA, I don't think his involvement with it necessarily discredits them.

Yeah it does suck and you’re not wrong. I’ve spent the last 3 years at my company trying to refine our Agile/Scrum process into something that gets out of my engineers way. It basically boils down to the Engineering manager, product manager and project manager or “scrum master” actually putting in a good bit of work to make things run smoothly.

1) keep your stands below 15 minutes. Always. There should also never be more than 15 participants in your stand.

2) The EM/PM/SM or all of the above should be writing high quality tickets that are discrete units of work (they can be tested and have some tangible output). They should never be so large as to take a single developer the entire length of the sprint.

3) Do a single weekly grooming/pointing session. This should take less than 2 hours assuming management did their jobs

4) EM/PM/PM/SM need to actually keep the backlog organized. Don’t make devs sit thru meetings where you slowly drive Jira

5) Do demos, retro and planning in a 3 hour time block with breaks. Balance what went well with what speed bumps you encountered and call out exceptional work done by team members

6) Make judicious use of doing “proof of concepts” to help spec out features/APIs/Integrations before running off to plan larger initiatives

7) Appoint an “Epic Captain” to each epic (group of related tickets). This is dev who is the subject matter expert and has some decision making authority. Defaults to the EM but they should appoint other devs to take proactive ownership over things

8) Proactively track and discuss technical debt and raise it during retrospectives; EM follows through by ticketing it up.

9) Actually do planning when launching major initiatives. A few discussions between devs before leaping into several weeks long project won’t make you waterfall and will actually reduce meetings in the future

For us, the average time per week an engineer spends in meetings is less than 5 hours total, or <1 hour per day on a team of 8. Kinda high but things run smoothly and nobody is out of the loop
There are so many shallow comments for this deeply thought out, 7 year effort to date. If the rest of the 'to do' items gets tackled, implemented in prototypes, and made into proposals as some of the work to date has been handled, this has the best chance of being a true C++ successor.

The goal is nothing more than fulfilling these B. Stroustrup quotes:

"Inside C++, there is a much smaller and cleaner language struggling to get out." (1994)

"Say 10% of size of C++ in definition and front-end compiler size. ... Most of the simplification would come from generalization." (2007)

There's a summarization at 1:14:39[0] where concepts are listed on the left, and C++ syntax for handling these concepts in different contexts are on the right. The point of this effort is reduce the accidental complexity syntax on the right by refactoring it into concise uniform syntax. This effort is broad and much more than sugar, e.g. eliminating forward declarations. The talk up to that time is giving examples of the work that has been done in many of those areas, with remaining to-do's listed.

Basically the language that is being extracted is the actual language that current C++ programmers really think in, but don't have a more concise way of writing than C++.

Marko is tailored for that. Solid has mostly focused on highly interactive SPAs until very recently. Solid’s creator also worked on Marko and has written a lot on the subject.

It's slowly beginning to change. They used to fight but they don't care as much about non Emiratis anymore. Even less diplomatically important countries like South Africa have gotten extraditions.

I have generally found that the best children's content all holds up amazingly well when viewed from an adult perspective. Think most Pixar films, Harry Potter, Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Little Prince, His Dark Materials, Roald Dahl and so much more. Great authors simplify complex adult themes for children, but never forgo them.
To me, things like this often feel inherently patronizing.

In many situations, I feel that "Why don't we just" is the natural choice of words. So if you don't say that, I assume that you are making a conscious effort do say something that isn't what you actually want to express.

It feels like you are tiptoing around me because you thought I couldn't handle how normal people talk.

That reminds me of saying things like "It's not you, it's me" in a breakup. We all know it's bullshit. Stop trying to protect my feelings and tell me what you actually want to say!

All of that is subjective of course.
He’s one of EA highest profiles adherents. EA style thinking permeates SBF.

This is the world EAs want - the one they’ve been advocating for a long time.

It’s just in this iteration it failed. If the chance of success was higher than X% vs the risk of failing, it was all worth it. That’s the kind of morally bankrupt philosophy EA pushes.
And yet it never completed the planned second phase, "allowing the users to add new material".

I think this was a crucial misstep of the early days, when the main focus was to build the best browser. This made the web entirely consumer focused from the start, which gave way for silos and advertisers to take over.

Imagine how different the modern web would've been if consuming content was as easy as publishing it, from the very beginning. There would've likely been tools built to give users control of the data they share publicly, and we could've ended up with a pull model, where companies _request_ access to user data, instead of there being massive central hubs everyone visits, that profit by tracking users, hoarding their data, and selling it on shady gray markets.

There have been some attempts over the years to do this. Most notably Opera with Unite in 2009, which failed miserably, and more recently the fediverse, which has yet to gain mainstream traction. I don't think that the technology is the problem in either case. It's just that the consumer web has so much momentum now, that there are no supporting services to allow the tech to propagate (e.g. most people still have asymmetrical internet connections, or NAT'd routers, which makes sharing difficult). And the UX needs to be on par with modern web browsers, which is a tall order, given the few decades of head start browsers have had.

I think we're just too late for that original vision to happen, but it's great reading that it was planned from the very beginning.
Effective altruist but ineffective criminal
Aren’t Europeans, and many Asian ethnic groups considered an “indigenous group” of their home country. In such a case I don’t think say the Japanese are pissed off on the exportation of their culture through anime, etc.

To make such a general statement seems weird. Given the diverse nature of such a large number of groups.
This was both depressing and uplifting. In these days I guess that's what comprises a win.
Let me guess, the reason you have those meetings is to report to the PM or whoever about what you did and then what they want you to do, plus talking with clients about features and endlessly rehashing things you already discussed, plus some kind of cross communication between groups that don’t actually need to share anything with each other right now, plus reshuffling the backlog and re-estimating current work, and so on. If that rings true then welcome to Scrumfall. Get out if you can.

> I suspect “logistics” has more to do with it than “independence.” Our education system and economy, in particular, causes people to spread out and move away from family. Raising kids without family around is much, much more difficult.

I experienced this first hand. I moved to follow career with my wife, who also has an extraordinary career compared to median. We delayed and struggled to find the right time to start a family. The whole dynamic of planning the start of your family was self defeating. There's no good time to have kids while prioritizing career...

So we took the plunge, had kids, made it 6 months, and moved back to be near our family.

In retrospect it is obvious that the narrative of success being concentrated in gross salary was poisoning our lives and forcing us to make unhealthy decisions to live in awful situations. We're "richer" in our hometown by a long shot, when you calculate the slush money left over after cost of living, babysitters, day care, housing, even cars. Not to mention the joy of having a big family that the kiddos can play with all the time.

If we had realized this in our 20s, I'm sure we would happily have had 4 or more kids and accepted half the money overall for the same net takehome.
