I think the point is that they are not doing much more relative to the hardware improvements. How much less functional was windows 3.1 notepad compared to win10 notepad? 50% (utf8, maybe multiple windows)? RAM and CPU have increased 25000%. That should be way more than enough to handle the extra features in notepad.
It would help a lot to know the reason for the rule. Perhaps the park is filled with lots of rare, delicate plants and only narrow dirt pathways. Or perhaps the pathways are somewhat wider and allowing in a wheelchair or a small wagon wouldn't be a problem.

Without knowing the reason, it is hard to make a wise decision. At least for a problem like content moderation, people will have some idea about the goals or reasons for the rule, although certainly different people may have different opinions about how important the various goals and reasons are. But trying to enforce an arbitrary rule without a good understanding of why, on which to base judgement calls, sounds foolishly futile.

Lockdowns were a failure, hence why millions of children were irreparably damaged by them socially and academically.

The legacy of lockdown proponents is plummeting test scores and massive IQ drops, because children were merely collateral damage to their hypochondria. [1] [2]

> If it is about the existence of such policies, go talk to any engineer from Google or Microsoft or Meta or Apple or a hundred other companies down the list.

1) I don't think Google/Microsoft/Meta/Apple are the ones giving take home assessments.

2) I've talked to many such engineers.

> There are written rules and trainings about interview conduct at every one of these companies, and they all cover feedback - what you are or aren’t allowed to say, how much you can share.

Ok, so what are the rules? You're claiming knowledge here, so please demonstrate it.

> At every one of these companies the interviewer doesn’t even have direct contact with the candidate after the interview is done.

This varies quite a bit. Also, many smaller companies don't even have an HR department. In any case, when you're doing a live interview, you tend to get some real-time feedback, whether explicit or implicit. It's completely untrue to suggest that interviewers get no feedback. The OP was complaining specifically about take home assessments, where you can't give live feedback.

> "All Intelligence Community agencies assess that SARS-CoV-2 was not developed as a biological weapon."

This strawman is getting old.

A tiny portion of people believe or assert it's a bioweapon. That is relatively unlikely and even less likely to be proven true, even if it is. Many people suspect it leaked from the lab. That's relatively likely. But let's just completely ignore that and focus on debunking a crazier theory that few people believe.
Besides SoAs vs AoSs (which is my understanding is the most impactful thing you can do to make many use cases more cache friendly), are there other things you might suggest? Or articles?
You're overthinking this. To recap the rules of the game:

1. Every question is about a hypothetical park. The park has a rule: "No vehicles in the park."

2. Your job is to determine if this rule has been violated.

Your job was to determine if rule 2 ("this rule") has been violated. By playing the game, you are fulfilling your job and thus the rule is never violated.
Corporations are legal persons, but they aren’t natural persons but instead vehicles for actions by natural persons. Granting them voting rights effectively is just granting additional voting rights for the people that control them in proportion of their control, making them effectively a form of selective electoral inequality (and, insofar as as there are government-imposed costs on having a corporation, a form of poll taxes.)
I could understand the outrage if someone typed a long thought out comment and just signed "sincerely, fuck spez" as a mild protest and it got removed.

But that's not what's happening. The removed comments were just a variation of "fuck spez", sometimes with a pun. Just look at the comments on this very thread, just chains of "fuck spez". It's childish and very annoying, it is literally spam and if the mods refuse to treat it as such then I'm all for admin intervention.
As a metaphor for content moderation, there’s a clear bias to the examples, which I don’t object to per se, but there’s also a fairly large blind spot in the way the bias is presented.

Depending on interpretation, all or nearly all of the examples fall into these categories:

- Subjective categorization of restricted content, good intent

- Subjective interpretation of scope, neutral intent

- Clear intent to flout rule if subjective interpretations apply

What isn’t present in any of the examples is a case where the rule is clear but breaking the rule is intended and masked. That’s where a lot of content moderation struggles, and (because?) it’s where a lot of malicious and abusive users concentrate, and intentionally create ambiguities where there wouldn’t be any without such malicious intent.

And knowing that doesn’t make content moderation any clearer, probably the opposite, but it’s worth recognizing that that’s the point. A few clever jerks can convince well meaning people to reinforce or excuse their abuse, and can convince well meaning moderators that obvious dog whistles are hard to interpret, and then they turn rules over on themselves without any recourse.
I don't think your link proves your point like you think it does. It's a correlation, not causation. The question is, what other variables may impact conservatives.

One of the main factors in if you die from getting covid is age. And conservatives tend to be older.

Often missed here is that the Rust library author is strongly protected from faulty code written by Users. The C/C++ library author is not.

The most obvious examples of this are memory allocation. The C/C++ user claimed the buffer was large enough to contain the result. The Rust user received back an object that protected the memory and returned it at the right time.

But it could also be a file handle or mutex that used the Rust ownership patterns to protect the underlying data.

If I am using a library and the author can put in features that prevent misuse, I don't need to work so hard to use the library correctly. As soon as my safe code compiles I can be fairly sure with most rust libraries that I didn't break some unenforced rule.

I got my equipment through a local wholesaler. I built a BOM using solardesigntool and submitted through them. The wholesaler called me and accommodated me as a DIYer. CED Greentech was the company.
interesting.

one of the reason I think this does not get used is because PDF as a document format got firmly entrenched as the go to format for 1. printable documents, books, slides, or strictly static content whose layout on every page is firmly frozen and 2. fillable PDF forms where user interaction is strictly limited to blank predefined fields and maybe 3. comments / annotations / signatures on existing docs

PDF is typically not used for actually "presenting" content in the form of slides to an audience where the presenter has to control how the information is revealed. Partly because PDF readers including Adobe Reader never had a good UX to support this use case.

Also given the cost/prevalance disparity between editing tools for PPT and PDF ... a layman would not be able to edit or create a PDF presentation (with animations) anyway. The critical mass was never achieved to make this a thing.
If you are a company using this technique for hiring – and you're not providing feedback – STOP.

If you and your team cannot suss out someone's capabilities from their CV, portfolio, interview, and references then YOU SHOULD NOT INVOLVED IN THE HIRING PROCESS.

It's a shit-test that you believe helps filter out under-qualified/unmotivated candidates, but it actually has the opposite effect:

Experienced candidates (you know, the ones you actually want at your company) just move on to lower-friction interviews where they don't have to start jumping through nonsensical one-way value exchanges on Day 0.

To be fair, as a general rule, removing the systems makes sense. You don't want to accumulate them forever even after they become useless.

> Emerging research has found that in addition to freeing up cash, the repayment pause coincided with a marked improvement in borrowers’ credit scores, most likely because of cash infusions from other pandemic relief programs and the removal of student loan delinquencies from credit reports. That let people take on more debt to buy cars, homes and daily needs using credit cards — raising concerns that student debtors will now be hit by another monthly bill just when their budgets are already maxed out.

So.... We tried to address the "people have too much debt" problem, and people reacted by using that help to take on extra debt that they wouldn't have otherwise. Maybe the root problem here isn't the debt but people being shit with money?
I'm not sure. I think that's a problem to figure out. What I want to advocate for is mostly that talent scouting should be taken seriously not farmed out by scheduling random employees who aren't good at it and then collating the partial opinions of 10 people who don't really have enough time with the person to have a total view.

That's really neat to see...and makes this issue suddenly so frustrating.

This kind of feature would absolutely transform the PDF experience. Imagine if LO alone could support it, maybe with the addition of a few viewers. I'll bet a lot of cool simulations or narrative experiences could be developed. Even if they're already doable elsewhere.

Thanks to the author for sharing the post.

Lawyer here.

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. I teach legal research and I do some open discussions in the beginning and (no judgment of course) someone ALWAYS brings up "if they wrote the laws clearer..."

nope. nope nope nope. This is not how it works.
Even when you turn the search indexer off, the indexer background service still seems to be doing ... stuff.

I have a Windows 10 VM I use for some testing and such, and all these background things keep using up huge mount of resources, no matter what knobs I turn and regedit levers I pull I just can't get it to stop.

For comparison, I also have a macOS VM which certainly isn't fast, but nothing like the Windows one. And the BSD and illumos VMs work basically fine (although in fairness they also don't start X11; but I do just ssh in to all of these machines and never use the GUI for anything).
I'd love a comparison of malware uploaded to npm versus, say, Maven Central.
For your typical workhorse lawyer, yes.

But the legal profession, in terms of fairness for new grads, is perhaps the worst of all professions, I'm told. Basically, if you go to a top school you make 3x the average graduate based on that alone. While there is a decent correlation between school and talent, it is by no means strong enough to justify the phenomenon. Certainly it is not like this in other developed countries.

Computer Science has unfortunately been headed in that direction but at least an A+ graduate at a state school has a chance at getting the better offers.

That logic can be applied to any loan, not just student loans. Remember when home loan interest used to be 18.45 percent.
I mean, while it's not technically just the park, I'm sure there are several parks on US Military bases where the airspace is restricted.

> specifically instructed to not use any laws local to your jurisdiction,

To me, that doesn't change the answers much. You still have to have some definition of vehicle that inevitably assumes some context.

That to me means any human-propelled thing smaller than say a motorbike is not a vehicle.

So I only said 'is indisputably a vehicle' to cars and similar (even if was an ambulance or police car)

What makes the boat race irrelevant? Boat racing is a fairly long running tradition that is an important part of many cultures.
You are clearly misrepresenting my point. Your authority is not really an authority for a bunch of reasons. One of which is how he is basically a retired petroleum engineer with very little understanding of the modern state of hydrogen. And yes, this usually implies an old person, something Arthur C. Clarke noticed in one of his writings about elderly scientists. And while your link is from this year, he's been saying the same thing for many years now without change. In fact, the only recent change in tone is his exacerbation, as billions of dollars are being invested anyways and he is upset about that.

You are not picking a critical engineer at random. You picking basically one of the very few credible critics, and they're all basically known to the community. The rest of the engineering community in this sector are certainly not as skeptical. In fact, you completely ignored my link about engineers that are doing real work in this area.

I asked previous about "who's actually saying this?" to the question of engineers that doubt hydrogen. And that question is still relevant, because outside of a tiny minority of scientists and engineers, most of whom are outdated and poorly informed, the rest are just armchair experts and random celebrities.

So the point is that you are simply wrong about your understanding of the issue. The intellectual community fully accepts the possibility of hydrogen as a widespread fuel and a way to solve climate change.

> Again, please answer the question of whether the rule is violated (not whether the violation should be allowed).

Thus IMO emergency vehicles violate the rule, although they should be allowed. Same thing IMO with the tank. Sure it's inoperable but it's a vehicle, in the park.
I even disagree that there was any nuance. I wasn't told "you're doing content moderation, there's a rule, the rule is violated but there could be some mitigating circumstances, do you allow the content?". I was told: is there a vehicle in the park, and I said yes because a police car is a vehicle and it's in the park.

With Columbia, Mission Control knew there was a potential issue pretty much as soon as the shuttle reached orbit, but because there was basically nothing* that could be done about it, they essentially were going to not worry the crew too much about it and hope for the best. As I recall, they modified the reentry procedure somewhat to possibly reduce stress on the affected wing. Obviously it did not work.

* There were a handful of high-risk options that in all probability would have resulted in one or more dead astronauts. One plan would have been to send the Columbia crew on a spacewalk to try to fashion whatever kind of shield they could jerry-rig to cover the ceramic tiles - like bags of frozen water. The most glorious plan would have been putting the Columbia crew on a minimal sustenance/activity schedule right away and then rushing the next orbiter scheduled to fly (Atlantis, I think it was) into orbit on a rescue mission. I get chills even thinking about that kind of mission, but the shuttle was obviously a temperamental vehicle, and if NASA had cut the normal months of prep time into a handful of weeks, who knows what could have gone wrong with that launch. I have no doubt you would have had 100 or more volunteers among the past and present astronaut corps to fly it though.
I tried to implement this for pystitcher, where I wanted to create a separate ToC that would link to various sections across multiple PDFs that would get stitched together.
