Brb, gonna put all the conference talks I watched on YouTube, all the articles I read and all the projects I built down on my performance review self-assessment.

Usually "increasing your skills and knowledge" is not part of performance reviews. They are about your work performance (Duh). I.e. results, not learnings.
It'd be nice if they open sourced some of their libs. When I was trying to debug a very odd issue with their Python Glue stuff, it was impossible to delve into, because the open source Python just wraps a Java blob you can't see.

I suspect Europe’s economy would be larger if it had more real kings and queens. Its share of global output peaked under that system. On the other hand their democracy feels strained and exhausted, which is not helped by the contingent being a US protectorate.

Frankly, I’m not sure why people ignore Aristotle’s idea that the monarch is the people’s best defense against aristocracy/oligarchy.

It's what our ancient ancestors had. And they were successful, and elaborated on that theme, and by the time they were complicated enough to start thinking "hey wait, why is our nervous system crossed up like this" it was too much bother to uncross it.
Good for getting your system pwned, more CVEs than I can count!

Big shame though, really love the idea behind it :/
You can mitigate most of it by using ECC memory, a good line-filtering UPS, and some type of error-checking for reads/writes/at-rest.

The last of the risk can be functionally eliminated by your off-site backup.
I agree it’s a weird way to minimize his role, a sort of rewriting of history, for the same political reasons he was not invited to speak (also for false reasons).

It is a shame that many people who claim to support diversity and tolerance actually have no interest in it.
> Have you worked with Go codebases before?

Several but ...

> Standard practice is to wrap all your entrypoints [...] in a defer recover()

... I've never seen that. Is there some literature pointing to this as best practice?
> There’s a lot of narrative and comparison and context

There's not though. Most of what is narrative is cutesy jokes. Comparisons are just... stats. If you re-watch with a critical eye you'll see it's basically a formula: in these X games he pitched this well, then he'll compare him to some historical figure on stats alone, over a clip or a screenshot of baseball reference. At some point he just reads passages off wikipedia. There really isn't any subjective thought being put into it, it's just a clever packaging of google searches in a lot of ways.
Cynical from an employer's point of view, conference trips are good perks to offer. More expensive than regular vacation days, but also more likely to improve employees. Also, employees still have to answer emails.
There's a sizeable portion of the population for whom RSS would be perfect, but they don't know it exists, and if you tried to get them into it, would be baffled by the complete lack of interface (remember when Firefox would show an RSS icon near the URL when a site had an RSS link in the header?)

A newsletter is useless to you, but a lot of people like them. I agree that popups aren't the way to push it, though. A simple newsletter link in the header of the site is more than good enough. I don't care how good the "conversion" rate is, I don't like harassing people who are just visiting my site for the first time.
Yes, but in that case it is relegated to private companies, and it's also only about telling the truth and nothing but the truth. It's not like the line can ever be untrue, or convenient lies, or politically motivated, or meant to hide abuses, or anything!
This would be true if there wasn't a killer app.

But there are more killer apps per industry than there are fingers to count with, with more relevant use cases being discovered practically daily. Yesterday was better, but now is when you make every effort to figure out what you're doing to stay relevant before someone else can tell you that you're not.

Microsoft likes to delay LTSC availability longer and longer in a futile attempt to wean customers off it. They just don't understand why not everybody likes to take the abuse they dish out.
That’s what they currently do, yes, but it’s not really a loophole, so much as willful misunderstanding. Legitimate interest covers things like IP logs for the purpose of network security, and certainly doesn’t cover user tracking for the purpose of targeted advertising.

It's difficult for a European company to compete with US tech giants due to the difference in capital. They just get bought up if they're very successful. For example, DeepMind: started in the UK, but acquired by Google. I would say that's a an example of an innovative company, but how are they ever going to grow as big as a US tech giant?

On the other hand, the US tech giants are headquartered in the US, but are very much multinationals, with people working for them across the world.
Day-to-day ones aren't really worth worrying about.

My point was that the FAA regulates both. So it seems to counter the idea that regulation necessarily impedes progress.

I must say, suggesting that the only progress we've seen in aviation is from the 737 to the 737 Max is very disingenuous. Since the first flight of the original 737 in 1967, we've seen - this is just a tiny and obvious sample - the 747, 767, 777, A300, A380, A350... composite wings and fuselages, glass cockpits, fly-by-wire, high-bypass turbofans, TCAS, GPS, ETOPS, ADS-B... it's a very long list of innovations. It's incredible that you think the last 60 years has been static.

While I completely agree that the efforts to build and maintain a set of micro-services are often better leveraged by a single monolith (even one that has several "run modes" as you've done here), a few questions inevitably come up:

How do you coordinate the efforts of 200 engineers on a single repo/code base?

Do engineers frequently get into long/drawn-out merge sessions as common code may be modified by a number of engineers who are all trying to merge around the same time? This is actually one of the reasons I really like GOLANG: "A little copying is better than a little dependency."

Also, Duolingos useless and constant notifications made the app worse then it already was.

Also, how can a website not have badges? It's just a table that gets updated with pictures when a user performs a task.

I've only trialled this system recently, but my current results are:

1 Win

2 Partial Wins (basically a loss with how much you get back)

3 Losses

All these payments were fraudulent (a user doing credit card testing) and disputed by foreign banks (Thailand, Malaysia, Brazil). I think these cases are much harder to win, because the actual card holder is technically in the right to request the money back on their stolen card for a transaction they didn't do.

Much better than my previous results of just accepting each dispute though :)
If you're a freelance networking to get customers, maybe.
To some extent yeah. I definitely became way less radical and more incremental in my own design approach over time. Still, "better" does contain usability, performance, docs and other aspects of practicality. Like, those aspects do genuinely make things better. Innovation doesn't always improve things, it can be a dead end of bad ideas too.

Java was a pretty major clean break when it came out. It was probably right at the limit of what could be done innovation-wise whilst still being targeted at the mainstream.
Agreed, my opinion is simply that (d) should be prioritized and the others would reasonably be on the chopping block when we have to cut trillions in deficit spending.

As a reader of the research paper, another limitation of the study is that the study did not appear to differentiate between people who learned a second language as an adult, versus people who grew up bilingual.

~~

To add context on how participants self-reported their bilingualism, the authors wrote: "To obtain information about the number of languages spoken, which languages were spoken, and demographic variables (such as age, country of origin, SES, and education), we asked participants to complete a detailed questionnaire. The questions used in the present study are available in Appendix S1 in the Supplemental Material available online."

From the downloaded supplementary material, the only questions asked related to language assessment were:

"5. What language(s) do you primarily speak at home?

"6. How many languages do you speak?
Select one: 1-20"

I could not find any other questions related to language assessment.

~~

From the questionnaire, it looks like the researchers did not examine whether studying a second language as an adult to a very high level could confer cognitive advantages. The study possibly treated people who grew up bilingual and didn't acquire a second language as an adult, and also people who self-reported as bilingual but did not reach a high level in the language, into the same group.

The conclusions of the study would be stronger if the researchers examined how the cognitive abilities of monolingual people who undergo training in a second language and practice it to an advanced level, could change their cognitive abilities over time.

In fact, it remains plausible that adult language acquisition could still provide cognitive benefits. Another research paper with conflicting conclusions [1] studied the effect of language acquisition on older adults aged 59–79 years old. The authors of this different study concluded that "learning a foreign-language may represent a potentially helpful cognitive intervention for promoting healthy aging."

Are you interested in a free HTTP cache SaaS?
Hello guys, I'm working on a cloud native HTTP cache SaaS to bring to users the availability to get their content cached. I plan to release that as free during the beta (to benchmark and see edge cases or bad implementations) and probably have a pricing depending the storage amount and type. The price will pay the servers themselves, and if we set more users than expected on one server we will dynamically decrease the subscription price. What do you think about that? Do you have any recommendations/expectations?
For some scientific purposes, eliminating 99.6% of the Earth’s atmosphere is approximately the same as eliminating 100% of it. E.g. precise imaging and characterization of nearby interstellar bodies, those projects get Hubble-tier data thousands of times cheaper.

For other scientific purposes, eliminating 99.6% of the Earth’s atmosphere is approximately the same as eliminating 0% of it. E.g. trying to divine the values of physical constants in the earliest moments of the universe by looking as far into the past as possible, those projects are far too sensitive and their observations would be completely swamped by the noise of the remaining 0.4% of Earth’s atmosphere.
Here’s a Quora thread from 4 years ago:

https://www.quora.com/Once-Queen-Elizabeth-dies-will-Prince-...

There are loads of articles and discussions online speculating about what “will” happen when Queen Elizabeth dies.

Is any of this open source? I just recently started experimenting with summarization of youtube video audio that has been passed through openai/whisper and to my surprise I’m told that the maximum token lengths are in the 1k range.

I figured that I’d be able to roll my own summarization much like I was able to do so with transcription.

I’m hoping that the findings of this work are open source.

Does anyone have any extra insights?
I guess, there's still a use case for modal pop-ups, since they provide an ideal break point for considering, whether the piece in question is worthwhile your time or not. So, you may simply leave instead of bothering to operate the button…

In UX terms, there may be room for improvement with the wording, like, "Are you sure you want to read this till the end?" ;-)
I’m surprised Visa isn’t #1. Intuitively they seem to have it the easiest: take a cut of almost every purchase in the US.
Sure, but dehumanization is explicitly used to other specific out-groups of humans. Extending our understanding of sapience to other animals than humans would do the opposite of dehumanization. I don't think we'll see a future pan-sapientist Zimbabwe invade Botswana to liberate their zebras or anything like that. Empathy is generally easier as a tool for peace than war.
Agree. It may make me a bad person, but I hate wanting to learn something about a complex new topic, and half of it is random quotes and interviews from people who know even less (with accompanying detail in their physical appearance, personality characteristics, employment history, and lovely anecdotes about their sister in law). There is a time and place for a human story, but I've lived long enough and experienced enough crap to understand there's human impact to everything, and sometimes I want to start with high level understanding.

(Though to be fair, now that I think about it, I've also lived through enough crap to understand how incredibly misleading and over simplifying high level overviews inevitably are :-/)

That's basically ZGC Generational + GraalVM. So, code that's available now albeit you'd have to compile it from version control (graalvm stable releases don't support zgc yet, released zgc isn't generational yet). Give it another year or so and that'll be shipping out of the box in ordinary JVMs.

> Isn’t it sad that the first $500b+ company from Europe is a peddler of vanity and overpriced luxury items?

I used to think this way but no longer do. I mean, the point of being people is to do people things. The point of trying to fix the climate is so people can keep on doing stuff they want (the planet doesn’t care). And so on.

Now indeed, I think ppl should stop doing things that hurt others, but $1,500 scarves aren’t that harmful. And leather is an awful material for most applications these days so these people just hurt themselves :-).

If I were to make a list of useless activities that could safely vanish overnight without me missing them, I would indeed wave my wand at fashion, as well as vehicle racing; all forms of movies, video, YouTube, etc; the music “industry” (not musicians!); motorized watercraft; Internet advertising; fast-food restaurants; celebrities… But some people would (inexplicably to me) not agree. And would make their own lists. Fortunately none of us are dictators, in this regard at least.

If you attend a conference out of state, how do you (or your employer) deal with the state tax consequences? There are some states with no threshold on the number of days you can work in the state without filing. If you work just one day in Colorado, New Jersey, Vermont, etc… you probably have to pay income tax for that one day of work in the state.

> HN is a good example. I see what (mostly) American people think,

I like HN as much as the next critter but HN is an extremely small and biased sample of the US. The demographic is skewed towards young and liberal (even socialist at times) when the actual country is more like 50/50 liberal/conservative, to oversimplify a bit. On HN, you are also seeing comments from people who have both strong opinions and the free time to write about about them online. Most people in the US are not going to shower others with their criticisms of society until after at least a few drinks.

> "You can't just disable this 'feature' from Vodafone? I'm in the UK and my ISP doesn't do this."

Yes, you can disable it quite easily. Usually by entering a credit card number in their app or website to prove you're 18, or alternatively by contacting their customer service chat.

But of course, only pervs who want to access porn would do that, right?

In my experience it's a good idea to disable it regardless, it as there are often a lot of "false positives", and the filtering can sometimes cause performance problems. (Unless you've got kids and really do want to block porn, but eventually they're gong to discover VPNs...)
Tantrum is pretty accurate I think. They voiced their extreme displeasure in a war of words with Elastic. They knew that the relicensing was targeted 100% at their gravy train and they condescendingly declared that they would "step up on behalf of open source" while they stepped up exclusively to prevent Elastic getting a cut of their ElasticSearch hosting profits.

The fork is really half hearted with about 1/10th the resources Elastic dedicates to the mainline branch:

Meanwhile, the only effective licensing difference is that you can sell hosting with their fork - something that only benefits them.
I discovered much to my chagrin that the ESP32 Bluetooth module consumes a lot of power, affecting my quirky keyboard project. Is there a better method for syncing to a PC or phone?
I've been to tech conferences as a junior level engineer and, most recently, as a speaker. I don't think I have walked away from a single conference or convention without a meaningfully impactful new connection, project, partnership, or experience — particularly in the "hallway track" outside of the talks.

It has been one of the most glowing examples of "the infinite game" for me, the thing you can't ever win but want to keep playing. Conferences allow us to physically manifest our desire for being part of a community of peers that willingly teach each other. The progressive optimism of the tech community allows for that to happen without being exclusively about trade shows or cash cows.
No that's turtles.
