The acceptance ratio is a poor measure, because applying to multiple schools is easy. Likewise, I first remember skyrocketing ratios of applicants to job openings when laser printers became ubiquitous.

In between college versus apprenticeship, students could apply for both and then pick the one that seems like the best deal.
There's only a certain amount of soul you can extract from people before they become empathy-less ones unable to create things for other people and dangerous to have around. So, corporations cycle the people they use before they reach that level.
I don't disagree with you, I just think it's an orthogonal concern. Arguably, companies reach better decisions (and thus perform better financially) when labor has a seat at the table; better financial performance should (but doesn't always! see recent layoffs) result in more stable employment and more opportunities for advancement.

But that's beside the point about what labor's primary interest is and what the Board's and the shareholders' primary interests are.
Did you have fun though? Because imho, that’s part of the point.

I wonder if it's because they never had a Steve Jobs-like icon deeply defining the importance of design. Although he was a worldwide icon, language and cultural barriers are real.

To some extent, a culture entrains itself, even with things like design. Since I moved to Portugal, from the US, I realized that companies tend to have better logos in the US... even the small brick and mortar shops. They go out of their way and spend $500 on a nice logo. Here in PT, probably a lot less, if not anything. The bar is just not as high.
Most of that money was their customers' money (e.g., money for payroll). You can't just go invest your customers' funds. Well, I guess you could, but I expect there are tons of regulations. And you'd potentially end up in the same exact situation as SVB: not having enough liquidity to pay out your customers if they ask for their money. Or, your investments are underwater and you don't actually have enough assets to cover the funds your customers have entrusted you with. (Certainly, banks do this, but you're also usually not paying the bank to hold onto your money for you. Whether banks should be allowed to invest your funds at their discretion is another conversation)

Should Rippling have spread those funds out over multiple banks? Maybe. But more moving parts means more room for error, more complicated accounting, and more operational overhead. There is (was?) a compelling argument that you're more likely to goof up juggling $300M than a bank like SVB is.
This is a common use case and many reader / annotation apps either support it natively (polarized and marginnote 3 are two that I have first hand experience with) or have third party tools available to copy annotations into anki.

my candidate list of high-density fillers from dernocua (sorry for markdown) is

- Osmium: [US$13000/kg][8], 22.65 g/cc, or possibly iridium at more
than twice that price

- Tungsten: [US$30/kg][9], 19.3 g/cc

- Tungsten carbide? Not sure what it costs but its density is 15.6 g/cc.

- Lead scrap: 95¢/kg, 11.3 g/cc

- Steel scrap: [21¢/kg][10], 7.9 g/cc

- Magnetite: [10¢/kg][11] [or so][12], 5.2 g/cc

- Quartz (as construction sand): 3¢/kg, 2.6 g/cc

- Water: [.06¢/kg][22] or so, 1 g/cc

this is my approximation of the pareto frontier; that is, each of the items on the list is conjectured to be cheaper than everything that's denser than it is, and denser than everything that's cheaper. corrections are welcome

i was thinking baryta (46¢/kg, 4.48 g/cc), mercury, litharge, minium, cinnabar, cupric oxide (US$3.90/kg, 6.315 g/cc), zinc oxide (US$29/kg, 5.6 g/cc), and manganese dioxide (5.026 g/cc) might be interesting in this context too

i hadn't thought of your suggestion of galena (just cinnabar) and generally i'm skeptical of metal sulfides because of their tendency to produce hydrogen sulfide; i don't think that's an issue with those two. litharge, minium, and mercury are a lot more worrisome toxicologically

i don't have solid pricing information for mercury, litharge, minium, cinnabar, or galena, and i'd be interested

tungsten is probably more chemically inert for medical purposes than a lot of these

I have been programming for a Fortune 500 company for four years. Not long ago, I applied for a job at another Fortune 500 company. HR really had only question for me, they saw on my resume I did not have a college degree listed, and did I have one? I said I went through most of college towards a Bachelors in Computer Science but dropped out before graduation. I did not get the job, although I don't know if that's why. Same thing has happened in the past with other HR departments. It's not completely fatal, but it's not helpful either, rather the opposite.

I went to a good state school and didn't rack up any debt while going to college.

In recent headier times, a BSCS was a preferred requirement. In the current environment, I can easily see job listings on Linkedin that say a BSCS is a minimum requirement.

It's just another stumbling block that can be in your path. Some people don't have a problem with it in their career, and in headier times it doesn't matter, but when layoffs are happening as they are now, and companies are flooded with dozens or hundreds of resumes, an easy thing to do is just look who has a BSCS and who doesn't and put the latter in the wastebasket.
I think it was more like "lie detection" - trying to work out if a customer was lying when they said "I'm going leave unless you cut my bill". That sort of thing.

But, yeah, I think they had totally misidentified their target audience.
If inability to remove the Consul (or Dictator) via from office via elections is what qualifies as the death of the Republic, then it died with Marius, Sulla, or Pompey. Laying the death at Caesar's feet is ridiculous.

Caesar was popular. He was murdered by a coalition of unpopular and disaffected Pompeiians and noveau riche both enabled by Caesar's clemency and largess. He was accorded his honors, powers, and cult status legally. If your notion that a Republic isn't a Republic because popular representatives can't be voted out (because the people don't want to vote them out), then Republics and Democracies don't exist at all and all you have is rhetoric.

These are called "Erdnussflips" (peanut flips) in Germany and Austria. Apparently they were first sold around the same time as Bamba, in 1967. Smoki came a little later. I wonder who copied whom here.

In Germany they are mostly sold along potato chips (crisps), but they aren't as popular as them. And unlike Bamba they are usually not fed to small children, as far as I'm aware. Good to know they seem to protect against allergy, as peanut butter is not really a thing here.
The Marian reforms were very practical, but they also set the scene for later generations of armies that felt bound more to their general than to Rome itself. There's a reason Augustus nearly bankrupted the state professionalizing the army.

But I broadly agree with your point - the tensions that brought the Republic down had been festering for hundreds of years.

Yes it's kind of weird that they leave out this information because this negatively impacts the trust you have in the decision.
> but not between `await asyncFoo()` and `blockingFoo()`

Of course there is. The former constraints the type (or return-type) of the function it is used in, the latter does not.

> but that difference does not require the introduction of an async/await feature

I don't remember saying anything about async/await in my original post though.
Dall-E was a few months later. I don’t want to be obtuse, but I am into this topic for quite a while and progress is actually kind of slow to me. Society is still hung up on (to me) minor and extremely uninteresting issues.

I’m getting tired of the “losing jobs” narrative. GPT4 is a worse coder than 3. What I’d like to see is some discussion about this tech disrupting the need for “leadership” and bullshit executives. IMO vast swaths of elites - GPTs tendency to hallucinate makes it the perfect politician - are becoming obsolete as their opinion and influence is no longer interesting / necessary. This, of course, will not happen. We will only replace workers, the rest will be fine. We won’t even talk about it.

Sorry for the detour and unsubstantiated rant. I deserve the downvotes. Taking the hit for the socialist team here.
frontend is already complex enough, there are many use cases do not need SSR at all, React used to be SPA first, now is SSR first(just like svelte), which means lots of unnecessary stuff to understand for SPA programmers. I came from vue-svelte-react, now Vue is the only one still does true SPA(SSR is opt-in), so, I am back to Vue and hope it won't change to SSR-first like the rest.

React is owned by Meta which cares more about SSR, similar to Svelte. Vue is not owned by any single company, that seems like a huge huge plus now.
Gusto is also pretty damn good. These companies handle edge cases poorly but otherwise are okay. For example, we restructured and had to move people to a different LLC and Gusto deleted everyone from GSuite (which had no reason to move).

Their FSA administration is total junk.

But otherwise it's been great.
Why do you only focus on residential PMS's?

Not what I'm saying. His death was caused by the discovery of letters proving he instigated the foreign aggressions and the slaughter of French citizen (I use your words, as most French deaths of this period of time were caused by the coalition army).

At the times, traitors were killed. He was a traitor, he was killed.

This destroyed the Kingdom of France (or was the last nail in the coffin), precipited the formation of the first French republic under pressure of Paris citizens who had been betrayed twice (at least, depending on how you count) and were becoming even more violent. Of course the first republic was violent, considering how it was created.

And BTW, you could consider the revolution ended there, with the fall of the kingdom of France, before the Vendée war and what's called 'la terreur'. Most considered at the time that the revolution ended in 1789, before the monarchy betrayed everyone (twice). Everything else was to keep the French constitution ("All men are born free and equal in rights").

I'm a sympathetic mathematician but I found this whole passage bizarrely off-base:

> mathematics is in a weird and, I’d say, unique position of always having to defend what they do with respect to it’s value for other disciplines. I again stress that this is something that would be considered absurd when it comes to any other discipline.

> People don’t expect any return on investment from physical theories - noone bashed string theory for failing to make useful predictions.

Huh? Tons of people bash string theory for failing to make useful predictions! There was a whole book criticizing it called "Not Even Wrong", meaning it didn't even reach the point of being testable.

A better argument for advanced math: it's not always clear in advance what math will be useful. A popular example is Riemannian geometry, which had no clear real-world value when developed, but ended up being used for General Relativity a few decades later.

I also support the argument that math is intrinsically and aesthetically valuable, but for those who don't agree, the argument above may make some headway.

No, I think they do mean declare. In C89 you can define a variable anywhere, like so:

int x;
f();
x=3;

The improvement was allowing declarations anywhere.
I'm a nuclear power advocate. I am on social media making arguments in support of massive expansions of nuclear power to reduce air pollution and fight climate change. I have a Ph.D. in nuclear engineering and a professional engineering license in my state. I chose nuclear engineering at age 19 because I wanted to fight climate change, not because I wanted to become an industry lobbyist. There are hundreds of nuclear advocates just like me.

While nuclear power is commonly perceived as unduly dangerous, if you're interested in the numbers of it all in context, I highly recommend this page:

https://ourworldindata.org/safest-sources-of-energy

The whole wasteland argument falls apart quickly when you take a look at e.g. a worst case scenario like Chernobyl and compare it to the fact that fossil and biofuel cause 7 million premature deaths per year from particulate emissions (according to the WHO) and cause global climate change.

This is what killed Digg, and is killing Reddit, under Reddit's new design. I have posted quite a bit about how old.reddit is so much more important because with the +RES you can tweak the overall information density, as well as visual guides to where you are in the thread (the border highlighters to nesting comments: https://i.imgur.com/oWiweis.png

And when coupled with hover zoom (or whatever extension you like) allows you to not even click on an image: https://i.imgur.com/nkvPUb4.jpg)

And then, either turn off thumbnails in titles and you get a great density that allows one to consume more info -- this is why Digg died, and Reddit is "Diggifying" them selves with their lame new layout -- which Ironically is how reddit had a huge spike in users after digg 2.0 --> Also whatever happened to Kevin whatever from Digg who was on a bunch of magazine for being some web visionary, and now he has dissipated...
> Oh that takes me back to trying to explain to some Gentoo users back in the day that that yea you can optimise stuff better for your slow ass computer. But you now have to spend most of your time compiling code on your slow ass computer.

Honestly it depends what your goal is with gentoo. My whole sell with gentoo is that custom packages are just so easy. I can take some garbage toolchain from an embedded manufacturer and wire up an ebuild for it that "just works". Nix is similar once you get it working but the nixpkg and nixos DSLs just kinda suck in their own ways. So it may take me 10-15 min to write and install an ebuild while the nix package may take me an hour or two.

Same goes for situations where you need weird kernel configs. It's so easy to just recompile the kernel on gentoo once you have stuff set up. The OS is built expecting a majority of users will want to tweak their kernels so the OS's tooling doesn't fight you when you do. I find this often less well handled in other distros.

As for arch, it is pretty close IMHO but (while it may have changed since I used it last) I found that the "bleeding-edge" focus makes dealing with old janky dependencies to be pretty painful.

Gentoo certainly isn't the first choice for the majority of people but it IMHO is a really good choice if you are going to be working with funky proprietary toolchains (o/ hi embedded engs).
The definition of a republic is itself a nebulous thing.

One definition is simply a government that does not have a king. Another is the lack of inherited office.

The triumvirates appear to have satisfied both of these simple requirements.
Exactly. I thought about this some more. There is a way.

If the training data is unique, and the copyrighter can prove that, then I would consider the end-result copyrightable.

I really dislike the cartoon-ification of Nazi's, as well as the overloading of that word. It's really impossible for most people nowadays to understand the scale of industrialized hatred that occurred.

Also quote from the wikipedia article about "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" which is shown in many UK schools as part of Holocaust education:

"Research by Holocaust educator Michael Gray found that more than three-quarters of British schoolchildren (ages 13–14) in his sample had engaged with The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, significantly more than The Diary of Anne Frank. The film was having a significant effect on many of the children's knowledge and beliefs about the Holocaust. The children believed that the story contained a lot of useful information about the Holocaust and conveyed an accurate impression of many real-life events. The majority believed that it was based on a true story. He also found that many students drew false inferences from the film, such as assuming that Germans would not have known anything about the Holocaust because Bruno's family did not, or that the Holocaust had stopped because a Nazi child had accidentally been gassed. Other students believed that Jews had volunteered to go to the camps because they had been fooled by Nazi propaganda, rather than being violently rounded up and deported."

Not to mention that the movie has the absolute weirdest perspective of getting the audience to empathize with a German boy from a family of Nazis, not the actual victims of the Holocaust, as well as trivializing the hatred perpetuated by the Nazis. Its work like that which seems harmless to most people but it is massively damaging.

I literally just typed in Anki on Google and the first link to their homepage very obviously explains that it's free to use even with synchronization across multiple devices. The only cost I can think of is that they charge a one time fee for the mobile app for iOS, but the clients for android and desktop apps for computers are completely free. I have no idea where you got your information from but perhaps next time do a basic cursory search on the internet instead of querying ChatGPT.
This isn’t necessarily a useful anecdote though. If your previous payment processors weren’t using a bank that failed during that time, then you getting paid on time isn’t a sign of redundancy; they were just fortunate!

It might be fair to say that Rippling failed by choosing the wrong bank, but that’s a very different argument than saying that Rippling didn’t have a good backup plan. If all you’re going by is that you’ve always gotten paid (vs say knowing who your payment processor banked with and what their Plan B in case of bank failure was), for all you know your previous payment processor had no backup plan either!
NAND also suffers from read disturbance; since they are emulating NAND devices, it seems reasonable to assume the FTL in the controller will be tracking reads as well as writes and refreshing blocks accordingly.

obviously i'll happily ambassador github to anyone who will listen but who isnt already on github here
This sucks, totally. And also a lesson not to give your card out. Something doesn't sound right though. If the mag stripe was used, they'd need a signature right?
