This is great. Reminds me of a crash I saw early in my career. It was a null-pointer exception, except it occurred right after confirming the address was non-null. This was on a single core with a non-preemptible kernel. So the processor just took the wrong branch! There was simply no other explanation.
In Europe, left was always more marxist so liberalism never really got batched with the left, it was more center/right. But in the US liberalism was as left as you got, so naturally all left will be 'liberalism' at least by name no matter how the content mutates.
The defendant defrauded Office Max's loyalty program to the tune of ~$180,000, although they managed to void $130k of rewards upon uncovering the scheme. They did so in a manner that could easily be traced back to them (e.g. signing up for 5400 Office Max accounts using the same 4 GMail addresses with randomly inserted periods to make slightly different user IDs). They accessed the email from the same IP address, put their actual personal home address for three of the 5400 accounts, and left several other pieces of breadcrumb evidence leading back to themselves.

This whole thing seems like a guilty person using accusations of prosecutorial misconduct to distract from their hopeless position in an FBI case.
Looks like a mix of Scheme and Common Lisp. Lisp-1, but with nil and defmacro. I'm not a fan of calling your own language just "LISP", it's rather confusing as it's not the original LISP. Maybe NishioLisp would be a better name.
How do you figure? An analog impression directly mirrors reality, digital is just an approximation. So digital seems inherently inferior.
> "What should we measure to improve developer productivity?"

How about nothing? Honest question. I am sick and tired of being treated like cattle. I've never seen a single convincing argument that any metric of my outputs has mapped to some productivity metric in a meaningful way, but I have absolutely seen them weaponized against me and others to punish and fire engineers. All of these metrics have only ever boiled down to a negative reinforcement mechanism, in my experience.

The amount of research I had to do to buy my mother a new television that would work for regular antennae television and not require internet access was just ridiculous.
Sorry, but this article is 90% word salad and the other 10% seems to be saying things that most people would disagree with but in the most indirect language possible.

I'm not against using precise words when they are helpful. But sometimes I see people using complex language to obfuscate the message instead of clarifying it, and as far as I can tell that's what is happening here.

When the meaning of an essay is confused and unclear, either a) I'm just not smart enough to understand it or b) the author is a poor communicator. B is much, much more common.
Children have enough tech info that this is meaningless. They'll also go right to the next page. Or just use Reddit or Twitter which are never getting blocked.
"virovore"...

latin years in school flashback, but that word is malformed, because virus is Latin 4th declension and there's no -o stem in any case. seems "viruvore" would be more appropriate, and matches the forming of actual latin present active participle (think -ing in english) "virulens" (virulent).

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Latin_fourth_declens...

Assuming "virus" is 2nd declension leads to a contradiction, in there is an -o stem in a case, but that assumption contradicts the centuries old "virulent" which wasn't written "virolent".

And the reason i mention all this is that i have no idea how one finds modern etymologies for classical words without knowing the languages (or subsets of course) outright.
So if the paper is correct then you need about a half a million qubits?
Is this roughly a 40x improvement on the 20M qubits in 8 hours or is there more to it?
There was a now-defunct python-like language built on .Net called Cobra that had class invariants and other contract functionality. It generally speaking had a lot of ideas focused on high quality programming built into the language which made it great to program against. I wish it had caught on....

Instead of a trust, if they really wanted to give it away they would create a co-op and given it to the employees and customers. But like other comments have stated, this is all for tax evation and sounding good in public when in reality they retain control of the trust that now owns the company.
I'm really curious what part of my previous post you are taking so much issue with that you're calling me arrogant for it. I don't feel like I said anything terribly controversial. Are you angry that I suggested that many people are actually not very good communicators? You gave a bunch of good examples of people being bad communicators in your reply, so I feel like you agree with me on that?

I said most people learn to speak before they learn to write. Is that untrue?

How about the idea that you can communicate (crudely, sure) with gestures even with people you don't share a common language with?

How about the idea that both writing comprehensively and reading comprehension are high level skills that many people don't possess enough to truly communicate effectively via writing? Do you disagree?

I don't think it's unfair to say that verbal communication is a cornerstone of the (near) universal human experience.

This isn't just "my preference" is what I'm getting at. I'm pretty sure it's just the human default.
This will be absolute gold for generating test data.
>… the most cost effective solar systems will supply about 75-80% of your average monthly demand

I am not so sure that is true. Seemingly a large percentage of new installation costs are fixed (paperwork, labor, inverters, etc) with only a smaller portion for the panels themselves. For a minor incremental cost, you can fully provision your house.
The comments here seem to misunderstand dynamics at big companies. Engineers often find themselves in meetings with 10s of people where there is no one person who could unilaterally reevaluate the usefulness of the meeting.

Everyone in the meeting may be thinking "this is a waste of time", but each person doesn't know that everyone else is thinking that, so there is no natural processes to discuss ending the meeting. Worse, there is sometimes a perverse incentive to keep meetings going to maintain control or power.

This change shifts the equilibrium from "default on" to "default off" in a way that probably would not happen organically at a big company.
One of the best bugs I've seen had a description fairly similar to this. Hot routine run at scale (floating point math for ads ML training) fails at a rate about 0.000000001. Turned out to be a very obscure bug in the context switching code in the linux kernel, the FP registers weren't being restored properly.
Looks like Dill [0] would be a good option for serialising the generated code. The built in Python Pickle doesn't support pickling functions properly, but Dill extends it to enable this sort of functionality.

It's somehow sad that they got everything so perfectly right except "the company that'll bring it to you".
I see this comment a lot, but it's not true (at least not any more). Many valid C programs do not compile through the C++ compiler. The standards for C++ and C have deviated over the years.
Been using it daily at work on a relatively large C++ codebase for a 20 year old native application, and it's really nice to have an IDE that starts instantly, indexes and searches quickly and integrates well with Visual Studio's sln. The performance is just beyond what normal IDEs end up with

Another one, the debugging was aided by the fact the developers ensured that everything was accessed through const pointers, so it wasn't their code corrupting their memory.
“a disproportionate percentage of pictures, audio files, or other non-HTML content is prohibited”

Correct, the money is awarded as an investment through a no cap, no discount, MFN SAFE. However, we think "grant" best captures the spirit of the experiment since we don't limit eligibility to potentially commercial projects and don't require recipients to raise additional funding. A central premise of SPC is that a community with only founders isn't as interesting (or helpful) as one that also includes researchers and domain experts. We see the grant as a way to bring in people working on the most interesting projects regardless of what they plan to do after.

When it comes to psychedelics, there are two faces to them: how people talk about them and what they actually are. How they're talked about is 99% bullshit

People will talk about "life changing experiences", that's cool. From the outside, the only changes I see are people turning to deadbeats and doing more and more drugs. Of course, Portland is already a containment zone for mentally ill people on the streets. They could always use more
Not wrong, but Blogger does have export/back-up capabilities (which one should use anyway), and Blogger data dumps can be imported in Wordpress.

Yep. Historically though, Apple's standards have been less about creating convergent technology and more about reinforcing revenue streams. Look at the entire MFi line, a 'standard' that was defined by high-margin Chinese junk that slapped Apple icons on their Bluetooth smart speaker. There wasn't a Cambrian explosion of innovative iPhone tools, but instead a sea of useless iDogs and plastic boomboxes.

Apple's greed has clearly hurt their own ecosystem in the past. They've made it completely obvious that their goal is indiscriminate rent collection, and I'd appreciate if that attitude would remain isolated from the ideals of open computing as a whole.
I fear this will be a stalking horse for full digital identity, and eventually squashing all anonymous speech.

The best solution here would be to force all adult sites to require a minimum monthly payment from a credit card. Blocks underage users and helps tackle addiction.
Tests have their place though. The more rigorous maths exams I took in school were some of the most intellectually challenging things I did in school. If written correctly, they require you to apply the things you've learned in novel ways, or to combine the topics you've studied in new ways. Problem is, IME there's very few professors/teachers qualified and devoted enough to develop those sorts of exams, and as soon as you try to 'scale' it by centralizing the test creation, you run into the same issue of students simply learning for the test.

Our TV is a 3-year-old Samsung that tried pretty hard to get us to let it on the network. We let it, for a little while, to get cool active wallpaper features, but eventually did a reset and disabled it. We've never used the built-in clients at all; we drive it from the home media receiver, so its ultimate source is the AppleTV, the BluRay player, or the cable box.

I don't think it's tried to get online on its own; it still shows outdated movies for streaming on its startup menu, and I assume those would update if it had newer data.

I expect this TV to last a while, but realistically I guess I'll probably have to buy one or two more. I'm 52; it's only my 5th TV in about 30 years of having one (and I guess we're mildly odd in that we only have one TV at a time).

Now that I'm thinking about it, I think I'm kinda surprised at which of my TVs was the longest-lived:

1. I bought a 27" tube TV in 1991 for a few hundred bucks. Still a student.

2. When it developed financially terminal issues, I bought a MUCH NICER 27" tube tv in 1996 for about a thousand. Picture was amazing. Flat TVs didn't really exist yet.

3. I won a big drawing at work in 2000, and used the proceeds to replace #2 with a 55" rear-projection MONOLITH of a Mitsubishi (about $3300), which was great because I'd moved and the 27" was too small for the new room.

4. Only 8 years later that Mitsubishi developed the Convergence Problem of Doom. Fixing it wasn't a good move, plus hang-on-wall TVs were available. We got a 47" Vizio LCD for about $1400.

5. A really good Black Friday deal in 2019 convinced us to upgrade to the 65" Samsung I mentioned above.

My understanding is that #1 was repaired and used for another year or two by a FOAF before dying the true death.

#2 I gave to my old roommate, who used it until like SIX YEARS AGO, no kidding. It was a fancy enthusiast TV (RCA's upmarket line), so I guess that tracks. Even then it was still working fine at nearly 20 years old; it just didn't have the connectors, capabilities, or the dimensions to be that guy's living room TV anymore.

#4 is, I think, still being used by a friend of our housekeeper, at 14 years.
There's always implied demand as populations continue to grow. But this doesn't turn into an actual buyer during times of economic uncertainty. Thus, a deficit builds up.

You will drag along this deficit into the future, it has a vast impact on supply and thus price. And this is about to happen again. The Netherlands needs about a million new homes built by 2030 to meet projected demand based on population growth. A logistically impossible task even in good economic conditions. Thus a deficit in supply will remain and even grow.
The 12-ball problem is a fun one and IMO the key revelation is that you do not need to determine whether the ball is lighter or heavier (which isn’t possible anyway). Just which ball is different than the rest. It’s a great exercise in decision trees as you change your strategy based on total information, not just the most recent step.

It’s also fun to scale the problem from 3 balls up to see how the solution evolves.

Shouldn't the migration task be separate from the application running the web server?

If you had this within an application running in a Kubernetes pod, then each instance will attempt to run the migration.

Additionally, the application will need a DB user credentials that is capable of powerful actions like dropping a table, so that the migrator is capable of doing that - this would be a potential security vulnerability.
If you're doing that, the Latin word "virus" means slime, so we should treat the English word as something entirely different.

Students do share some of the blame, at least once you get to high school and university level. No one forces (university) students to take easy courses that don't require rigor. As long as people are willing to shell out full-price tuition for a degree that doesn't require you to do more than rote memorization and regurgitation, schools will continue to facilitate it.
My take is that if you can't articulate your experience, or why it made you feel better, it can't be all that constructive.

Generally speaking, search warrants are pretty easy to get for prosecutors, and for good reason: If they required a ton of hard evidence to get, then a prosecutor wouldn't need it any more, they'd just charge the suspect. The entire reason for having search warrants is that there is "something" (a fact) which suggests you'll "probably" find evidence of a crime.

So because they are easy to get, why exactly would a prosecutor need to forge a warrant?
