The better way to do it would be to fund through taxes the new method to see if it works. You shouldn't make people switch to an unknown by making their lives worse.
Thus creating yet another disincentive for companies to list themselves on the market, leaving EU markets further behind their US counterparts.
I agree that training, in general, is not really effective. You have to actually use the things you've been training for immediately afterwards to gain any benefit. If 2 - 3 weeks go by, you've already forgotten a lot of the training.

How my company is trying to deal with that is by creating a library of self-paced training modules maintained by software engineers, and facilities to help anyone do that. I'm not sure it's going to achieve exactly what the OP is asking about, but I think it's better than alternatives.

We also have a private Stack Exchange server, frequent tech meetups, internal support slack channels and a bunch of other ways to interact with internal platform teams that help quite a bit.

Still, you have to walk the walk and figure things out on your own at the end of the day.
The obvious datapoint that Laos will fall is the failure of all the other Belt and Road initiatives.

Sri Lanka is the obvious one. But even Pakistan has lost access to vast swathes of its territory which are policed by the Chinese, and has little to show for it. The infrastructure being built’s only purpose is to make transport of Chinese goods easier.
Water treatment at home isn’t difficult as long as it isn’t polluted with something bad like hydrocarbons. A distiller can be purchased for less than $100. There are many homes in Texas that are using heaters that aren’t heat pumps, so in the winter, it probably is economical if excluding the original purchase price. A reverse osmosis system can also be purchased for less than $500, but requires more maintenance.
While I’ve no doubt of the post’s veracity, your comment isn’t accurate. Mask wearing isn’t common in a lot of China specifically because of their zero covid policy. Either there’s no positive tests in your area so there’s no reason to wear masks, or there are positive tests and everyone’s locked inside their homes.

It varies though. I watch a lot of Chinese city walking videos and for example in Beijing lots of people (inexplicably given the above) wear masks, whereas in smaller cities like Guiyang almost nobody is.

HDR helps a bit, but in some cases it makes it worse, because the HDR grade has been done by a colourist on a $15k mastering monitor in a pitch dark room, and assumes that anyone watching at home is doing likewise. The dynamic range crush of the SDR version actually results in a brighter (technically worse, but brighter) picture overall, and is sometimes slightly easier to see than the HDR on a cheaper HDR set with limited contrast or in non-ideal viewing environments (like the average living room with lights on or a window).

To be blunt, they are bad grading jobs when delivering a product to a general audience and there's not much getting around that. At least for HOTD it could be reasonably argued it's most egregious episode was simply one where there were significant filming issues at the time due to weather and they had to make the most of it in post (not very successfully, but starting from a bad base), but if we look at the Winterfell scenes from GOT for example that was just someone completely forgetting about average users.
What is going on with China's continuing zero-covid policy? Either it's the most expensive face saving exercise the world has ever seen, or they know something about it that we don't.

Next generation of AI powered compilers will try to interpret code at a more abstract level and infer what the programmer was thinking even if they wrote the wrong thing.

I'm very happy with my xt-30 and a combo of 35mm f2 prime + 18-55 kit lens. This is my first interchangeable lens camera though, so take it with a grain of salt. I don't miss the ISO dial found on the more expensive models, because I like to keep the ISO on auto and don't worry about grain and noise. The mode dial on the left is a bit gimmicky and the autofocus can sometimes struggle, but overall it's been nice. I have been eyeing the x100v but so far I can't justify the price, and I'm not sure the fixed 23mm would work for me, I love the flexibility of the zoom lens. I only wish there was a lighter zoom lens, like the 15-45 but without the power zoom and maybe f2.8. I also love using the film modes, specifically Astia with the color chrome on max is my go-to choice, I don't have the time and will to edit so I like good jpeg results straight out of camera.

A few years ago I went through exactly that kind of holiday todo list and created a few bash scripts for video-to-gif, gif-to-video, and image stabilization.

Here's the script I cobbled together from various internet searches for the video-to-gif one, it works well enough for that purpose and all you have to do is remove the video-to-PNG bits at the start.:

>What skills?

When I've been through the interview process, it's been very obvious that I have strong backend skills but lack on cloud and DevOps stuff, so that's what I'm focusing on now.

>Training frequency?

As of now, most of my tasks are related to cloud and CI/CD and, to be honest, I'm enjoying it a lot, it's more fun than backend to me as there's plenty of new things to explore and learn. I even feel like I might switch from backend development to Developer Experience Engineer, exploring new ways to make development, testing, deployment and initial setup faster, easier and more enjoyable, since I like to think that I know how developers feel about our current processes and what can be improved.

>How is your next set of skills decided?

I just tell my manager that there is some stuff I'd like to learn and tell them what is it.

>Is it personalized?

Yes.

>Are you involved in the discussion?

I start it.

>What are the biggest obstacles to your training?

Sometimes, when I meet a new task I have no clue how to even approach it, I feel a bit overwhelmed and unmotivated, so I take my time preparing for it and asking around for initial problem study.

I know it's not very productive, but it's an enjoyable pace for me and my company promised me a raise if I get better at cloud, DevOps, Docker and AWS stuff while I'm on my probation.
China already has several highly effective vaccines. The problem is that a significant fraction of elderly people don't want to get vaccinated.

Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore had the exact same problem with vaccine hesitancy among the elderly. It's a cultural thing.
I think superficially, that statement might be true.

The caveat is that it's not an apples-to-apples comparison, and indeed the mistake a lot of people make is to imply (or outright say) that this means women are paid 30% less for the same work.
Might not be 100% accurate but the BBC are reporting that it is due to the lack of mask wearing
The problem in this approach is that even people who think they judge only on merits rarely do. If it was that easy, our laws would all be this sort of thing. It's easy to trust people to counter biases they know they have. Quotas exist to counter biases people don't know they have.
>Ah, so it was probably not necessary in hindsight for Apple to develop LLVM and Swift and for Google to develop Go and Jax? At the time those projects were created, there were already many compilers and programming languages.

JAX is great, but it isn't a language as such. It's a kind of generalized tensorflow. I'd instead characterize it as a framework. Go, and probably Rust are languages that were needed before their invention, similarly with Erlang. But not they exist.

Similarly, Google went for Linux when they wanted to develop Android, they didn't decide to make their own OS from scratch.

LLVM I don't know what to say about-- it's probably critical to the companies that need specialized languages for their hardware to have something with the right license and the right modularity, so it's probably an enabler for things like CUDA and there may well be a path to performance through understanding compilers and processors together etc., so compiler understanding is probably quite important, but now that it exists NVIDIA doesn't make their own, they use LLVM.

>Why are the publications good?

I've seen some solve interesting problems, some that contain new mathematics, etc.-- they're good in the same way that ML publications from the US or Germany or any other country are good. There are even some good ones that no one cares about because they're written very badly.

>Why would that be, apart from the one anecdotal example that you give?

They seem to have actual effective competition between firms, even for fun stuff like synthetic crystals and to be trying to reach any market where they can sell them. This competition means that some industrial vitamins (weird things like synthetic crystals with specialized applications, etc) aren't locked up in B2B-only-and-we-have-to-be-partners relationships and can actually be bought for reasonable cost.

If you sliced the crystal they make for jewellery applications you'll probably find that it has worse Q-values than what's made in Europe or Japan, but at least you can buy crystals to slice and fiddle with things yourself.
Even without vaccines, the current covid strain is not even that harmful.

If they had done complete lockdown during 1st wave or during Delta wave it was one thing (which they already did at that time and majority of world). But after 2 years it is something else.

There literally is a world cup happening half around the world, with maskless people and stadiums filled to the brim.

I have read online they are doing this nonsense due to various factions within CCP fighting with each other. This 'zero-covid' stuff as far as I know first started in Shanghai, which I heard the Shanghai CCP faction was fighting against the Xi faction.
(Just some rumour I read on internet, no idea if it is true.)
The problem is that once they lift it up / fail to contain an outbreak, it will be a devastating one since their population isn't immunized.
If I had written the above code, I had clearly done something wrong. I would not want the compiler to remove the second check. I'd want it to (at the very least) warn me about an unreachable return statement, so that I could remove the actual meaningless code.

It's been long enough since I wrote C that I'm not familiar with that noreturn syntax or the contract I guess it implies, but control flow analysis which can prove the code will never be run, should all ideally warn me about it so that I can remove it in the source code, not quietly remove it from the object code.

I'm not demanding that it should happen in every case, but the cases where it's undecidable whether a statement is reachable or not, obviously it's undecidable for purposes of optimizing away the statement too.
The other factor to consider is how features complicate unrelated maintenance and new development. If you accept new features which are affect other parts of the codebase, you might find that the things you are finding volunteers to work are made harder due to something most people don’t use and thus aren’t jumping to spend time supporting.

Years back I worked on a search engine abstraction library for Django. I’m not sure the concept is affordable at all - search engines are less alike than SQL databases — but one thing we constantly had problems with was that most volunteers only needed one backend but any new abstraction would need to be implemented for at least 3.
Of course there is. You just have to improve the demand side of the employment equation: make starting companies so easy and profitable that the competition for hires will make them get over any gender prejudice they may have.

Takes a little longer but in the end you have a much healthier economy.
They also provided the genetic sequencing used to create the mRNA vaccines and then… didn’t use them.
There's undoubtedly a lot of face saving going on, but that's because Sinovax isn't as effective as the Western vaccines. And quite a lot of the elderly aren't vaccinated at all. So they can't liberalize without the death rate skyrocketing. Maybe that would be more acceptable now? Difficult for the Chinese people to discuss.
Covid booster shots are an excellent revenue stream for big pharma. We should encourage as many people to get them as possible.

That is what I do all the time. Even for the infant one it is just a lower dosage of a kids one.
Again, you still don't understand.

> It will happen and you need to deal with it when it does, and there are reasonable and unreasonable ways of dealing with that.

A compiler's handling of UB simply can't work the same way handling flag passing works in GCC. Fundamentally.

With GCC, the example is something like:

if (strcmp(argv[1], "--help") == 0) { /* do help */ } else { /* handle it not being help, for example 'hlep' or whatever */ }

Here, GCC can precisely control what happens when you pass 'hlep'.

Compilers don't and can't work this way. There is no 'if (is_undefined_behavior(ast)) { /screw the user / }'. UB is a property of an execution, i.e. what happens at runtime, and can't _generally_ be detected at compile time. And you very probably do not want checks for every operation that can result in UB at runtime! (But if you do, that's what UBSan is!).

So, the only way to handle UB is either

1) Leaving the semantics of those situation undefined (== not occuring), and coding the transformation passes (so also opt passes) that way.

or

2) Defining some semantics for those cases.

But 2) is just implementation defined behavior! And that is what you're arguing for here. You want signed integer overflow to be unspecified or implementation defined behavior. That's fine, but a job for the committee.

Skies of Arcadia was solid. The sound and music design still jumps around my brain.
I always thought the term "10x engineer" was only used in job ads. Nobody I know refers to themselves (or even thinks of themselves) as a "?x engineer", unless it's for marketing purposes in which case you might as well put 100x for good measure.

The "best" engineer in the world would probably tell you that "the only thing that they know is that they know nothing". They may also say that the most valuable thing that they have learned over their career is humility. There is always going to be something new and shiny to learn, things will always be breaking around you, a fake prophet will push today's ideology to sunset yesterday's. The only thing that you can do is to always be resourceful, to grow holistically as a person, and help others grow as well. Avoid any company that tries to distill these virtues inside banal presentations and check-the-box training sessions. It is better to ask an unassuming looking person inside the company if they have grown as a person, who helped them, and whom are they helping do the same. Good luck!
You can’t be searched (beyond a pat down for weapons) when given a jaywalking citation.
> Or you know, just turn off UB

I'm sure you will be willing to write the GCC PR that implements the required, surely trivial, analysis.

So ultimately, the Chinese people are at fault, because they actually demand restrictions? But other Chinese people demand the opposite? Are they like a vocal minority? The situation is very confusing looking from the outside.

Parents are implying that Facebook is incentivized to find anything they can, and so inevitably finds the easiest things to find.

As a consequence, their samples would represent the dumbest/simplest psyops, rather than a random sampling of all psyops.

In the same way that tax auditors tend to "find" a lot of basic tax fraud, but almost no sophisticated, structured, high income tax fraud.
What you're describing is (imo) more a framework than a library, then; think Angular, which comes with loads of modules attached or standardized.
Then the option would be to make the vaccination mandatory. CCP doesn't like to do unpopular things, but the lockdowns are not popular either.
Julian Assange is enduring unbearable persecution for exposing US war crimes
Interesting that whilst they’re willing to violate human rights in a number of ways, they’re not prepared to force people to take the vaccine or e.g. take away employment for refusing.

It’s probably easier that way to spin the situation as “your fault for not taking it”.
Basically, otherwise what's the point? You'll just be a different person in a different time.
My biggest struggle with FFmpeg was to find clear documentation...

I've found the ffmpeg documentation does a good job as a technical reference. The problem is that most people reading it are actually expecting a 'what options will fix my video' how-to guide.
I believe it occurs, but how did you come to believe it occurs for "most"?
I think without meaning to, your making my point for me?

My vote is diluted with 60mil others. Does diluting it with 500m others in the eu actually cost me any say? I think not in practical terms...

And nations might exist. But that doesn't have much to do with governments these days. I like in the UK, 4 countries (plus other bits)under one government. A whole bunch of different nations under those countries. I have a lot more in common with people in other big cities like (say) Paris or Berlin since I am from London. I have very little in common with someone from the Welsh valleys or the rural england. Yet we're all under the same UK government.

The point here is that moving power from Westminster to Brussels has no real effect on my representation. Nor does it harm "common interest". Both of those are basically gone when you have more than 100 people in your sovereign entity.
I see nothing about rates of jaywalking tickets, just racial comparisons (done quite crudely as well).

To me personally, this doesn't seem very likely.

Some political parties in my country have a policy called 'all women shortlists' saying when an MP with a safe seat retires, their replacement must be a woman.

Personally I would argue that it isn't a good policy - but it hasn't lead to anyone legally changing their gender.
My assumption is that it's not just the syntax, but that their compiler does the right thing. Though someone said it's based on LLVM, so who knows how much control they get.
Kind of racist of you to assume I am, I think.

Yes, round of applause for google please, for being the inventors of sustainability in the business of art. Without all their benevolent stewardship we would all be starving for food and shelter.

You realize you're buying right into their communication strategy? This is just another instance of the age old "do dirty stuff and extract boats of money; pick a handful of lucky people; make them kings; show it off for everyone to see; now you're a good guy". Yes, i'm sure they "give away" tons, perhaps hundreds of millions or even more. The fact is that the majority of what people experience is unpredictability, dependency, unchecked and arbitrary strikes unless you're constantly running after what they consider is click-bait enough to be worth. In fact what most people experience is no money at all (or pennies) but for sure the occasional strike because you were too critical of something or because your sense of humor or parody is not to the taste of some IP lawyer. Yes "it's not google", "they just respect the law". Point is they (and their lookalikes) practically monopolized something as basic as video hosting and marginalized any non-giant alternative and are more than happy to hand over the keys to shutdown channels to anybody well-connected who is wearing a suit.

> If you have a problem with YouTube's tracking, simply don't use it

Yes, why don't people live without a smartphone, without a car, without eating industrial food, without fossil fuel? Why do these people keep funding these pesky crooked pharma companies and buying drugs? Right, maybe they don't have a choice, they don't have enough money (because you always pay, in a way or another, to get out of these things, that's what monopoly means, in practice). Sure youtube might be on the "easier to do without" part of the spectrum, but (1) this is not true for everybody (what if you want to watch some internet TV?) and (2) arguing on this is just moving the goalpost since there are services like these which you need to do everyday things. More and more people cannot work without zoom, slack, github, gmail. Yes this is stupid, but i did not choose it. Should i quit my job? Perhaps. Will it make any difference in the big picture? Not at all.

Personally my opinion is that they just privatized de-facto public infrastructure. Which is to say they managed to raise a private tax which is almost mandatory to pay in practice. Which is pure and simple extortion. It may sound radical, but there's really nothing qualitatively different. They just managed to turn this particular form into something seemingly normal.

From my experience, young attractive women in sales jobs often do very well. A very common job in this case is waitress. Attractive women are able to vastly out earn the generally men working in the kitchen, by bringing food to a table and looking pretty.

Other sales roles have similar gender wage gaps.

And then there is Only Fans and sex work.

When it comes to some types of employment, most men just can't compete on looks with young attractive women.
