No manager in the history of managers will currently take a paper copy of your resume, period. That's not even considering giving you a job, they just will not take a resume. It's more hassle for them to enter it into hiring software, if it's a big corp they have to justify why the applicant is not in the hiring software in the first place, and they most likely can't do anything about choosing you inside the software, for fear of racism/sexism by the corp.

100% of all managers will always tell you to apply on the website, no matter how broken it is.
Come on, prior to this people read Nocedal & Wright, which is still very much a standard text on nonlinear optimization, and there were well-known implementations of nonlinear optimization algorithms written by these people in Fortran. These are most likely hiding in any modern LBFGS library you are looking at, including Scipy etc.

It is rather that more people understand these algorithms now and more people wrote implementations or bindings for popular languages, so you don't need to use Fortran anymore these days, but only conveniently invoke your optimization library of choice. The entire optimization ecosystem has matured; any particular good book certainly has contributed to that, but so did any other particular good book.
if discord were smart they'd create some sort of built in wiki system or news aggregating and multi group search to essentially merge discord with Reddit like services..
Some of Twitter's best content creators have given up on it. That combined with blue tick prioritisation and lack of moderation has seen it turn into a cesspit. I don't see why that doesn't happen on Reddit. Sure the people who go to discuss player trades in international sport and doom scroll dank memes will stick around, but a lot of the quality content could evaporate.
This is pretty much the opposite of my experience. While there are occasional CVEs which can cause problems, most of them are not exploitable in any way. And the automated security trackers are even worse, giving totally useless results.

The latest example which comes to mind CVE-2023-22809, sudoedit bug. Out infosec department made a whole bunch of noise about it, forcing the upgrade all over the place. But this requires (1) interactive user (because sudoedit makes no sense otherwise) with no root sudo access (2) restricted sudoedit access. I am pretty sure our whole org had no machines with such config. First of all, in the era of VMs and cloud machines, the interactive users are admins, they are very likely to have full sudo. And if there is a task unprivileged user must do, it would be a web app or CI runner or a chat automation, not sudo-less ssh session. Second, if such user did exist (unlikely) and had a need to edit a non-owned file (even more unlikely), who would grant them direct "sudoedit" access? It would be a script which takes input file, validates, logs changes, and only then installs the new version.

I'd agree with you on one point: proprietary Linux software is often of horrible quality and I would not trust it. I never worked with SAP, but we have a proprietary remote desktop access app, and it's horrible design, with dozens of suid binaries, and insane authentication methods. I would not be surprised if it has a vulnerability or five.

As for the rest of your arguments, I believe you are simply wrong.

"If users use the default packages with no changes to configurations", the latest Ubuntu with all the patches will be secure. It is not hard to find a system which is not vulnerable - just regular Ubuntu LTS system, say default install + browser + emacs + some compilers, will be secure today (except for unpatched vulnerabilities, of which there are none at this moment; and unknown zero-days which no one can do anything about). glibc had its share or vulnerabilities in the past, but none in the last 10 years. The system defaults are generally secure (but not always sane :) )

If you disagree, please mention specific exploits/CVEs. As a part of my work, I spend lots of effort on keeping stuff secure, but the whole CVE/security scanner things are pretty much a huge disappointment.
There's a term for this "market effect".

See also Twitter and Facebook and many other social networks that are objectively terrible platforms now (they all had periods of greatness that they fell from). Despite continually getting worse, the majority of people (tech and early adopters aside) will continue to use these sites no matter what because that is where their friends are, so they put up with it.

There's an app I have on my phone called Marco Polo. I hate every fucking thing about this app, the fact that it asks me to pay them $120 per year basically every morning as a full screen popup, the fact that it completely wrecks my battery life, the fact that they continue to block more (previously free) features behind paywalls, the fact that video records at like 8 fps (and still manages to destroy my battery by some miracle), the fact that they consume all of your friends contact lists and automatically befriends you with ex-girlfriends and people you would rather not talk to, and the worst sin of all, it completely resets your phone's audio now-playing whenever you open it up. So if i am listening to a podcast or music and I get a marco polo and listen to it, I can't just pick up listening to my previous audio when I am done. I have to re-open Spotify or Overcast to start playing again. But why do I use this monstrosity of an app? Because all my friends use it. We bitch about it everyday, but we are all on it and we all use it to talk multiple times a day between eachother. It has market effect. I want nothing more than for this app to die, but market effect keeps it around.
Capitalism destroys the best.
Microsoft is a huge conglomerate and the vast majority of their revenue has nothing to do with AI. Moreover, they have a partnership with OpenAI, but it's not at all clear that their lead is going to stick long enough to turn it into anything. Everybody is doing research on this now and all it takes is for somebody else to do it better.

Nvidia's rise is much more directly tied to this.
I lurk in a few subreddits that have well established forums outside of Reddit (decades old with tens of thousands of users) that are the top Google results and I'm always a bit amazed that people will still post on Reddit instead of using those other forums where they will get much, much better answers.
The amateur aviation community really likes to make a huge deal out of these diversions. Forums were full of speculation about the crew or passengers being taken hostage (!), Russia impounding/stealing the aircraft, it being stuck there for months due to sanctions preventing the import of parts, etc.

The reality is quite boring. It should come as no surprise that Air India was not flying over Russia without any idea what they would do if they had to divert to an airport there. As for sanctions, they are mostly concerned with end users, and if Air India flies in their own aircraft with their own parts and engineers, they really present no barrier to getting the aircraft fixed. A lot of tedious paperwork is probably the biggest challenge.

(The logistical challenges if it had required an engine change are certainly real, though.)
Reddit stated that non-commercial apps keep free API. Reddit leadership doesn’t like that itself isn’t profitable and that others get to profit without paying anything, unjust enrichment. Reddit won’t touch any dev that’s too small, only the ones with large traffic matter. So probably only a handful or two. They can easily determine if anyone’s lying. And if anyone is suspected of lying, they can ask for audited financial statements and tax returns to keep API access. Would be pretty dum by any of them to lie to pay a smaller bill to risk getting your entire business wiped out.
If Reddit wanted to make more money they should have invested in search. A few months ago there were many articles about how Google’s search was deteriorating and people had started going to Reddit. They could have easily had a slice of Google’s pie. Especially because the thing people really want most is recommendations (products, content, resources) - with everything changing so fast, Reddit was the place to see what real users were saying. This is the most monetizable kind of search. Now with users shredding their accounts and subs going private, they may have missed their chance.
If one reads a few serious introductory math books, starting from set theory, etc., one would get used to this “math” language and find it natural, precise, and effective.
I mostly agree, if you're talking about expression, though I thought MIDI 2.0 would improve the expression story.

For anyone wondering about MIDI's limitations, here's a post by Roger Linn going into it a bit: https://www.rogerlinndesign.com/support/why-expression

> So why is this expressive touch control important? Because under skilled hands, the ability to capture subtle musical gestures enables more interesting and expressive solo performances than a MIDI keyboard's on/off switches. Consider a guitarist's string bends, a violinist's skillful vibrato, or a wind player's subtle breath control, all of which can't be authentically replicated on a MIDI keyboard.

>In my view, the limitations of MIDI keyboards have resulted in electronically-generated music being used largely for background music

Very interesting, thanks for building/sharing (I imagine you are the author of this page?). Questions I would have:
a. Is it possible to dig out the exact cli command used for each of this encodings?
b. With libavif, did you test film-grain-test and what are your findings if any?
c. With libavif, did you test denoise-noise-level and what are your findings if any?
Of course I have no wish to put you into any homework mode, so feel free to ignore this.
You are using term "monopoly" in a misleading way there. It should be illegal when it's causing harm to competition and it totally does. It doesn't need to be an absolute monopoly to be a problem. The fact that competition law is toothless today to address it speaks badly about how it's applied, not about this being a non issue.

Apple has enough control on the market to cause harm to it by stiffing Web standards for example without being an absolute monopoly.

The OP link is not part of the Racket language or its standard library. It is simply the documentation for a package written by a member of the community and hosted on Racket's official package platform — like putting something on PyPI if you're familiar with the Python ecosystem.

The package itself is listed over here [0], which links us to the source code [1], which in turn attempts to link to a URL that suggests the idea is due to Rivest [2], but that URL has apparently died.

Isn't that like, exactly the same thing? - because GPT-4 was likely trained on SO (and reddit) data.
As an incumbent I think most of the time is not about the lack of products but about how to politically link different organizations that compete in the market. For example, we have used this to share statistical information about a specific industry while the actors (private pharmaceutical companies) don’t reveal the individual information. Connecting competitors is difficult.

I’ve seen these and they are so novel! The problem is they don’t look like QR codes.

A regular QR code, regardless of the fact they are an eyesore, people know what to do when they see one on a menu.

Artistic ones don’t really look like QR. Def don’t want to have to add an arrow and “scan this!”

I suspect this will come on more handy incorporating QR into larger murals that people might photograph anyway.

its not just lack of medication/vitamins but, lack of freedom, suppression or abuse by parents that is causing it in the first place.
I stopped using Reddit for a few weeks because of this. I use Reddit almost exclusively on my phone and I don’t need nor want to download a separate web browser just for one site.

But then one day I checked out of habit and I was back in.

But if they want to “ban” me from the site because I visit with my phone’s browser, so be it. Honestly they’d probably be doing me a favor. But I’m not downloading the stupid app.
Without that, RES, or a third-party interface, I'm 100% out. I do not need to deal with cluttered, shitty interfaces that are designed to "increase engagement" instead of giving me what I want. Respect my time or fuck off.
That's a shame; people should complain more in general. Especially if it comes with action.
Very enlightening writeup - thanks for being thorough.

I'd like to mention that Toyota is playing with syntetic fuels as well, and that some in the car market see this more as an option for car enthusiasts to keep running their cars when gas will be "obsolete". Much of the marketing of the corolla is about how "the engine is not not-green, it's the fuel that's the issue".

Seeing how gas powered engines are much less efficient (just from the heat waste) than electric ones, I have a hard time expecting hydrogen to become a normal fuel for cars - especially with the risks associated. Can you imagine a transparent flame in your car?

This seems more like rnd into syntetic fuels and alternatives for enthusiasts than their actual horse in the race.

This is what I was talking about. With pattern matching I now expect this exact pattern will be 98% of usage of `sealed` anything. It would be nice to have some sugar like

}

I used `tagged-union` because for backward compat I think using `enum` would not be possible but really it could be anything.
This whole thing has felt like the other person in an unhealthy relationship ending things. Maybe a little painful at first, but very obviously, and immediately so, for the best.
I guess they don’t because I’ve never heard of Apple doing user testing that shits certain users out like this.

I don't remember where I read it but there was sneakernet for remote villages in India(?) where the bus stop had a computer that transferred data to/from the bus that only came through every few days. People would request what they wanted and it would be sent back on later buses.
HEVC wasn't ubiquitous right away either. But it's DOA because of patent trolls like MPEG-LA. AV1 came later, so it will take its time to become ubiquitous while avoiding issues of HEVC.

Apple is a brake on the progress, as always. They'll arrive last.
Also, really important to refer to Boyd's prequel book, which is much simpler and can be read by anyone here without any prior background: https://web.stanford.edu/~boyd/vmls

It has tons of code and exercises in Julia and Python. Start here, excellent to get a taste of linear algebra and its applications.
Do you have any reason to believe that to be true? It could just as easily be the other way. One big fat idiot can lose all their money to a large number of people who then each beat the market by a small margin.

There could definitely be a lot of truth to this but we don't really know do we? Do we have any idea how much these chips actually cost various chipmakers?1

Amd's rx580 was a $280 gpu with 256bit bus too. It got down near $200 for a while. It was only 240mm^2 though. I simply don't know what chips actually can cost these days. I wouldn't be surprised to find out Intel's taking a bath here but I also would be super unshocked to hear other folks making gpus have colossal markups.
That demand will only increase, which further emphasizes my point. It can't be a luxury.
The Reddit official app only reflect the poor quality of management of Reddit: completely bad designed app, only your competitor could approve this. The web experience is much better. It is the case when you think nobody knows where Reddit is going.
Almost all of their comments sound like they are trying to emulate reddit style comments. They refer to this “sub” multiple times.

In C++ or C, you are always twisting the brain of the programmer into being a "safe compiler". I don't think that is an advantage personally.

Lifetimes don't go away just because there isn't a borrow checker or way to define them in the source code.

> They shut down a sub called “jailbait”, I’d say the vast majority of people are ok with that type of “censorship”.

The point of free speech is to protect against "the vast majority of people". The vast majority of people are against lgbt, atheism, etc. Do you think such content should be banned as well? What if the vast majority of people want huckleberry finn banned? The vast majority of people was once against women's rights, civil rights, freeing the slaves, etc. Rights exist to guard against the mob.

> And if being against that disgusting trash makes me “pro-censorship”, fine.

That's fine. You can be pro-censorship. It's a valid opinion to hold. And certainly there is a lot of trash online. What I despise are people who are pro-censorship and yet claim to be for free speech.

Also, my point isn't whether I agree or disagree with the content on reddit. My point was there was a time when reddit prided itself on being a free speech platform. As long as it was legal, it was allowed. That changed. Not because the "vast majority" wanted it but because a select group of elites wanted to install a censorship regime on reddit. Reddit was never a democracy. And censorship came to reddit because the business and media elites demanded it.
This is neat!

img = ["r", "g", "b"] * 10_000_000

I've been writing Python for 15 years and it had never occurred to me that I could do it like that. Honestly I think I'd have reached for more_itertools.chunked.

Well there goes the last social site I was engaged with, other than this one. I just don't get it when a business decides to declare war in its users. I'll miss the 3D printing subreddit, oh well.
It applies to much more. No database schema means you have an implicit schema that's hard to work with for example.

So you want to let the conspiracy theorists dictate discussion. And not everyone claiming there could have been a lab leak was pushing for those other things. There were sane claims. You seem to want to ignore the possibility that the Chinese and American governments had something to coverup, if there was a lab leak given the kind of research done there.

I work with many people who are quite intelligent but early in their career or not domain experts in PL implementation. These people are perfectly respectable, but how long would it take to teach them how to map their source to the lifetime dependency tree with subtle rules in order to understand a borrow checker result that triggers an error? Without that understanding, a dev using rust would maybe try poking at their code unsystematically in hopes of getting it to work. I've seen this happen in other domains while people are ascending the learning curve.
