FIY, you can write `data4.all?(Integer)` because `all?` can take a pattern instead of a block, and it uses the === (just like case...when)

I just learned this myself from another comment in this thread.

UPD: why do you write `obj.<=(16)` instead of `obj <= 16`? is this a performance thing or a matter of style or something else?
It's not just doctors and nurses. Veterinarians are burning out, too. (2022)
Currently watching it and I 100% agree!

I also love The Glory, Little Woman, Vincenzo and Itaewon class too.
Good write up, but it's rather rudimentary.

For people interested in FinTech/Payments, here's a great compendium and resources for the field: https://fintechgtm.substack.com/p/us-fintech-and-payments-cr...

I would also recommend the three books highlighted:

* Field Guide to Global Payments

* Anatomy of a Swipe

* Payment Systems in the US
Ever heard of the Lothian Birth-Cohort Studies?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lothian_birth-cohort_studies

IQ can be measured quite well at the age of 10-11, before the children have had much education. It also turns out to be quite stable... and doesn't really go up if somebody goes all the way to a bachelor's degree.

This means that your education excuse either isn't true at all (most likely) or that it has really, really important, huge, big, great confounders (highly unlikely).

Your height figure tells me that there really isn't much of a height difference between whites and blacks in the US. There is a clear (but small) height difference between age cohorts but it is utterly dwarfed by the differences between age cohorts in South Korea and Japan (and by the height differences between North Korea and South Korea).

This means that your nutrition excuse either isn't true at all (most likely) or that it has really, really important, huge, big, great confounders (highly unlikely).

Or maybe Watson was on to something, whether we like or not. You clearly don't, I don't either, and I am pretty sure Watson doesn't like it one bit either.
There are alternatives, such as the military programs that will pay those bills for about an 8 year commitment.

But yes, I agree that being a programmer is better from an opportunity cost perspective. What I'm disagreeing with is the claim that devs make the same as docs. When looking at the medians, it's closer to half. If they had compared to to nurses or PAs, then it would be more appropriate.
I wouldn't say the contempt for customers is conscious. It's more a single-minded focus on revenue maximization, leading to an obscene effort to defend against any percieved threats to that revenue maximization, that results in what looks like contempt... When you only care about one thing, nothing else matters.
Good plan. Reimplementing in Rust using a carefully planned milestone-based approach should result in feature parity with fewer security vulnerabilities.
It seems hard to conceive of a world where e^ix isn’t important in ML, unless that ML is sans probability, neural networks, or really most anything useful. Perhaps for regressions, so long as they have no periodic component. I think you probably can mechanically, without understanding, skate by in a job without any understanding of trig, but I don’t think you can understand much ML without it, and certainly can’t reason about limitations of an ML technique. While you might not directly use trig, I feel you must use things that were taught using trig to justify the technique and bound it’s applicability.

But really trig isn’t very complex a topic. I don’t think you should attempt to avoid teaching it. I just think it’s like a 1 month topic that is filled in as you learn calculus, linear algebra, and physics. The real intuition of trig comes form the use of it in other areas, and as a standalone subject it’s just boring.
Scientology is up according to what? Their own numbers are pretty suspect.

And when I say religiosity I mean the portion of the population that has no or limited religious affiliation is up as a whole not just one particular denomination or religion, it's down as a whole across all religions.
If private capital is no longer safe from unreasonable seizures in the course of simple settlements against debt that requires a strait forward liquidation… the system is getting pretty close to permanently fucked. Not as in slippery slope… as in “fucked”.

This isn’t woke this isn’t neocon, this isn’t even a left or right… this is “capitalism as a system is built upon the respect for the value of a person’s capital” sort of stuff. If the court doesn’t rule either extremely narrowly in favour, or outright against… the precedent set by this could be devastating to … basically everyone. “Oh sorry that mobile phone contract worth a couple of grand means we a private company now have the power to force you to sell your house and keep the profits of doing it ourselves and paying lawyers to sue you to force you if you refuse”… nothing here feels like this is unique to the state, I don’t see why they should have this power and no one else by following their arguments… this would set a dangerous precedent and I really hope they get told to pound sand, with prejudice.

Edit: Also I want to clarify. I understand that lawyers are going to do their job and argue for their clients. This is about the system as a whole. It makes sense that the government would try to do this, and makes sense to try and pay lawyers to argue the case.. it does not make sense to undermine the fundamentals of capitalism to treat debtors as an underclass like criminals who deserve nothing and can be legally robbed by anyone they owe a debt to.
Show HN: Hyperfocus 2 for macOS • Microtasking & Screen Ergonomics
After feeling indestructible in my early 20s and coding in front of the screen every day and night... I encountered my first RSI at 25.

I ended up with multiple muscle knots in the shoulder blade area and a neuralgia that randomly and suddenly struck the center of my head anytime during the day.

Since the neuralgia pain felt like no other pain I've experienced before, I've started scheduling doctor appointments right away.

This was just the beginning of a dark period of burning money with different doctors, therapists, and procedures trying to find a cure... MRIs, dry needling, kinesiotherapy, muscle tapes, massages, daily swimming. Absolutely nothing worked.

I felt pressured to quit my job since I felt like I was underperforming because of the pain, and fell straight into a burnout phase filled with health anxiety.

I took a couple of months off work and invested in redesigning my workspace with ergonomics in mind. I even bought and tried to learn the ErgoDox EZ, but it was all in vain. The pain was not going away.

Struggling through and trying to find my own answers, everything changed after I've read John E. Sarno's "Healing Back Pain" book... it just made everything tick and gave me some confidence that there's a way out.

With the new desk ergonomics, the insight from the book, and a different way of working, it all returned to normal. The neuralgia has been gone ever since.

I still get a slight discomfort in my shoulder blade when I get super stressed, but it now feels helpful, just like an alarm saying, "Hey, you're doing it wrong again."

Hyperfocus is the brainchild of everything laid out above. It started as a simple way of forcing myself to take breaks, but eventually became what it is today, a way to force you out of focus and to help you get back into it seamlessly.

A companion for your work day and a boost for your productivity and performance.
I saw this anecdotally in grad school. Despite coming from a solidly middle class family I was definitely on the poorer side of my colleagues at the R1 I attended.

You also see it in pretty much any field that confers status in exchange for lower pay. Starkest example I can think of is journalism, where you do a lot of schooling and low-paid or unpaid internships before you're able to get your first low-paying job.
I feel like people got hung up on computational performance for a while. 5 to 10 years ago, a bunch of big startups hit the scale where they needed to intentionally work around Ruby's limitations. People seemed fixate on those performance issues while overlooking the business context - that hitting that scale means you are wildly successful and solving problems most startups never have the chance to solve.

It seems there's a swing back towards people considering raw productivity. Especially, at early stage or pre-product market fit.

Given that Rails is highly correlated with Ruby usage, it's simply hard to beat how much productivity and breadth that Rails gives you. Especially, with how much "grunt" work is easily handled by it.

I love trying new frameworks on side projects, but I always find myself coming back to Rails. There is inevitably some nuanced situation that the framework doesn't handle that would be ridiculously easy in Rails.
The Ruby docs are, generally, the weak spot of the language (moreso than even being slow, on which there is also more progress).

Fortunately (while there was a long time where this was not the case), there is a reasonably current version of the “Pickaxe” book, which is the closest existing thing to the documentation Ruby should have: https://pragprog.com/titles/ruby5/programming-ruby-3-2-5th-e...
Exactly! But that's just how it goes. Once leadership identifies a problem, it takes a lot to dissuade them. They saw password sharing as a fixable problem, an area of loss revenue that they had to do something about to counter the metrics of stagnating subscriber growth. Very little would change that, even though your approach would prove to be quite beneficial
I guess you could say I'm angry at blatant misinformation.
> a good Korean drama have in common [...] they don't run past their prime and outstay their welcome

For me, it doesn't feel like it though. I got tired of k-dramas (and I usually watch the 16 episode ones, instead of 20), because it feels that around the 12~13 episode mark they throw in an unnecessary twist or something, just to get to the 16 episode mark. I do feel like they would be miles better if they usually aimed for 12~14
how is "a Microsoft product sends data to a Microsoft API for a specific feature" a surprising thing, although this seems to malfunction and send data even though it shouldn't?

What may likely happen is that AI software and hardware will continue to advance rapidly and within a couple of years we will have a GPT that is at least twice as smart and thinks 100 or more times faster than humans. Multiple orders of magnitude performance improvements have been the rule rather than the exception for technology performance progress.

And then stupidly people will continue to find ways to make the systems more and more lifelike, eventually adding total autonomy, self-preservation, reproductive instincts, along with all of the other animal/human characteristics. They will create something like living digital people that operate at 100 times or more the speed of humans.

This is an incredibly stupid plan. The high performance AI hardware at some point soon needs to be very strictly regulated. Otherwise there is a strong possibility that human control of the planet will end within a few decades and quite feasibly most of the human population could go away also.
> Gotcha, true. I think you're doing yourself a disservice by including compile times (mostly out of your control) in your answer to "How long does each preview environment take to deploy?"

This is a very good point I haven't considered, I just updated the FAQ.

> I would like to hear some technical details about the environment that each temporal app version gets deployed to. Like, is it a normal VM I can remote into? Docker containers? Something fancy like Firecracker micro-VMs?
> You might not want to make all of those details public, but I need a bit more of an understanding of how a product works to consider using it.

I believe the landing page isn't the right place to share these, I'm working on adding a blog where these details would be explained.

To summarize, every customer gets its own powerful VM where all previews will run, previously, ssh-ing into the VM is doable but it hasn't been required since we started exporting the application logs.

Each preview is being executed as a systemd service with nginx in front to handle TLS.

If you are interested to know any particular detail, feel free to ask.

Thanks.
Geese definitely do not like drones.
> Sure, but calculus is about memorizing ways to answer problems.

It really isn't. That might be how some people managed to get a passing grade, but clearly they learned nothing and squandered a once in a lifetime opportunity to get to know it.
The article says the following: "it seems that the crash permanently killed the idea of landing large airliners on highways. This Hollywood staple makes for good cinema, but in real life it usually ends in catastrophe — and while McKenzie and Keele were not the first to discover this, they were the last,no passenger jet pilot has tried again since."
> The next obvious reason for Google to invest in pure research is for the breakthrough discoveries it has yielded and can continue to yield. As a rudimentary brag sheet, Brain gave Google TensorFlow, TPUs, significantly improved Translate, JAX, and Transformers.

Except that these advances have made other companies an existential threat for Google. 2 years ago it was hard to imagine what could topple Google. Now a lot of people can see a clear path: large language models.

From a business perspective it's astounding what a massive failure Google Brain has been. Basically nothing has spun out of it to benefit Google. And yet at the same time, so much has leaked out, and so many people have left with that knowledge Google paid for, that Google might go the way of Yahoo in 10 years.

This is the simpler explanation of the Brain-Deep Mind merger: both Brain and Deep Mind have fundamentally failed as businesses.
Free speech activists, this is the moment you've been waiting for. Government literally suppressing speech it disapproves of. Walk that talk!

I'm getting frustrated with all the websites now claiming Firefox is an "ad blocker" and paywall, captcha-jailing, and worse just for deigning to open the page in Firefox. (I have zero ad blockers installed. I do have built-in ETP on and use a bunch of containers, neither of which is actually "ad blocking", just cookie confusing.)
> “If you go to a job in real life, you can’t pick and choose what tasks you want to do and only do the quote big ones,”

Sometimes I think teachers are out of touch with the rest of the world.

You most certainly can pick and choose only to do the big jobs. Companies certainly want you to focus on the big jobs over the smaller ones.

Who hasn't heard of projects being completed past the initial deadline? I think it'd be a bit better to have students root-cause why they couldn't complete the deadline on time but the real world misses deadlines all the time.
How are these kind of sales done, in practice, in the US?

Over here (Norway) the process is something like the following:

- Creditor has to send warnings multiple times, then go through a debt collection agency

- Debt collection agency tries to contact / get the debtor to pay.

- If nothing works, they go to court and can get wage / pension / benefits garnishment, but also petition for foreclosure and seize any assets of value.

- The local sheriff (guess that's the closest term) can then vacate the property, and seize any assets, like vehicles, etc.

- The items are then sold off at auction, usually starting at a price/bid which equals to the outstanding debt. Unfortunately these auctions aren't that well marketed or advertised, so there's a good chance the assets could sell for less than the going market value.

Creditors are given what they're owed from the sale, and if there's anything left, debtors get the surplus money. It's not uncommon for friends / family of the debtor to bid on these things, if it goes that far.

Last time I checked China had much lower immigration numbers than the US.
Using Fourier transforms doesn't seem obscure to me. It seems to me -- today -- that it is an obvious thing to do. It probably was back then, too, if you were a physicist who was good at math.
It is 100% social.
Richter: Quake Engine Rewritten in Rust
Can you point to any object, maybe outside of your body or intangible asset within your mind, that you "own" by this definition? That debtors and the courts can under no circumstances seize? If not, I would say your definition is bogus.
Alcohol is far more dangerous than marijuana. In 2019, 24,440 deaths in American were recorded as due to cirrhosis of the liver. However, the actual deaths associated with it is even larger. Alcohol is far more addictive and far more damaging to one's health, yet people are focusing their energy on marijuana abuse? The 800 pound gorilla in the room isn't cannabis, it's alcohol.

These opinion pieces are probably paid for by the beverages industry.
Sleazy, unethical, and probably illegal. As an example: Kansas for instance, among other states, has unclaimed property law and these things must be turned over to the state.
I think there is a lot of dark pay-for-headline money washing through extremely desperate and cash-poor media websites. Gawker/Jalopnik/etc also does that and man are they cash poor.

How much does it cost for oil/gas and incumbent ice companies to get anti-Tesla anti-Musk stories out there with these places? It's not like they have journalistic integrity (no one does these days, especially when it comes to the environment).

I recall handwringing pre-2010 about drop in journalistic integrity, then there were layoffs aplenty in media, and now you don't hear it from ... anyone. Media centralized to like four companies, revenue is king. TV media has always been talking heads and entertainment, the egos of TV media never cared about integrity as long as their face was on TV.

The fact that even "print" media has no one alarmed means the entire fourth estate is purged.

That said, Musk makes it easy to be a target. He is the modern twitter age "there is no bad publicity".

One thing that has become apparent in the last decade as newspapers have passed through multiple hands and layoffs, magazines died, and google and facebook have taken the lions share of advertising, is that journalistic integrity has died and media properties are nakedly devoted to 1) advertisers and 2) clicks at all costs.
This is interesting, but mostly due to the prompt you gave.
Which is the "shitty" part, 2FA on apple ID or iCloud Keychain? Both?
The only part of the article I disagree with is that 'inborn talent' is a major force behind disparities in math ability. While I will grant the existence of superstar prodigies, by far most people 'good at math', including most mathematicians behind most of math's most used fields, are simply those who spent time studying mathematics and taking it seriously.

We often mistake parental investment for 'in-born talent', while both are due to the lottery of birth, calling it 'in-born talent' makes it seem unachievable for others. It's a harder hill for sure, but not insurmountable.
What is the TL;DR version of the difference between Singapore math & US math education?
You are making a big jump from biological capacity to have children to population level childbirth outcomes.

I have never seen infertility claimed as a leading cause in the scientific literature and there is vast amounts of contradictory data.

The main drivers are lifestyle choices and availability of contraceptives. 1972 does not predate most socioeconomic changes like women entering the workforce and their education levels. Sexual intercourse and marriage rates are also huge factors. you can look at child birth demographics within countries. There are several demographics or groups that have much higher reproductive rates in there are no good reasons to think that they are somehow free from that impacts of pollution.
Eugenics has been shown time and time again to be junk/non science. This is like criticizing a dermatology study for not "controlling" for the possibility of lizard people.
Does this mean in essence there will be a 3rd-party XBox?
I might be in the lower end of the distribution. That's fine. But that doesn't change the inaccuracy of original comment from ignoring medians to make an inappropriate comparison.
Also worth mentioning, it is practically impossible to remove Edge from a Win 10 (and probably 11) installation. I tried nuking everything i could find, registry entries, Trusted Installer stuff, nope, keeps reinstalling itself after every update. I gave up.
I would say the are the assembler of concurrency. You should use higher level abstractions, but sometimes, it has its place.
Yes! People who claim things are worse now were either not around then, or they have bad memory.
Will this replace the current sudo ?
>PyTorch/Nvidia GPUs easily overtaking TensorFlow/Google TPUs.

TF lost to PyTorch, and this is Google’s fault - TF APIs are both insane and badly documented.

But nothing comes close to performance of Google’s TPU exaflop mega-clusters. Nvidia is not even in the same ballpark.
Sounds like android or what a modern linux distro should look like.

Sadly both most used userspace distros and the kernel they come with are borderline dangerous and shouldn't be any trusted by people using them, even if they're technical enough to feel comfortable within their environment.
Check out Mubi, or your local library's Kanopy account if they have one. Lots of great art films on both services.
Barely on-topic, but this is sort of the plot of Reboot, and I remember watching this show seeing the dynamic between the elder writer played by Paul Reiser) and the much younger writer played by Rachel Bloom.

The gist of the (relevant) bit of plot is that the younger writer wants to take an old classic series (ala Full House) but do a gritty reboot of it, but the studio brings in the original writers on to help, and there is unsurprisingly a culture clash.

I remember thinking (of the younger generation) how sad it was that they were so eager to dismiss all the experience of the elders, and how glad I was that this was just a TV show and probably not at all what was happening in the real world. I was safe in that ignorance right up until I read your comment.

Even though I'm not sure what you mean by "native", this not exactly my understanding. AFAICT, Denver added a hardware Arm instruction decoder. This greatly helps with the first part of the JIT and especially accelerates the interpreter.
Based on the amount of originals Netflix has produced, the revenue should be more than enough for creating and maintaining the platform.
Agressively?

We increased CO2 concentration by about 200 parts-per-million (a factor of about 2x), and increased the average temperature by about 1-2°C. Rain patterns are slightly different. Ocean PH levels dropped by about 0.04 .

Sure, given how delicate the biosphere is, these small changes have a significant effect. However, if we look at Earth on the same scale as any other object in the solar system, the environment on Earth today is almost identical to the environment on Earth 1,000 years ago. The atmosphere is about 1023 millibars; 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1% argon, and 0.04% everything else. Liquid water covers most of the surface, with an active water cycle causing water rain to occur periodically over much of the planet.

The temperature change is so small, that we would not notice it if it were on any other planet in the solar system, and it is far below the noise floor of day-to-day variance
If the goal is to teach them basic statistics to be useful and not to do science with it, then just make them watch a few YouTube videos on the topic as part of their 9th grade math class?
One is a product I pay for. The other is a loss leading product given away by a monopoly to support their ad business.

In both cases, because of these factors, yes.. I consider it to be unethical.
