As a Canadian permanent resident: I wish these politicians would stop it.

Meta has proven over and over that it CANNOT be a source of trusted information. I don’t know about the other provinces, but BC has pretty good IT services in my experience, let the information technology people solve information problems. They should be doing everything they can to get people onto official sources of info where rumors and politics don’t compete with critical information. When I’m evacuating I should never be using an app that has parody news accounts.

X, Meta et al. Should never have become primary sources of government announcements, and now we are seeing exactly why.

Every February 3 (or 2 March if we are European) we gather for a family reunion where we spend 23 hours enrolling in every possible genetic study, and then the parents retire to their rooms where they joyously exchange genetic data with each other.

I went from making barely $100k to a senior engineer at a FAANG simply by passing the interviews. No special background, I worked at the same function at a 50 person local SEO marketing company before that. I did take 1 year off to "find myself" and do some hobby projects that helped catch recruiting attention - nothing anyone would have ever seen here, but enough materiel to discuss in an interview

Didn't get up to $700k -- that's L7/Director territory (hard to reach) -- but it's definitely possible to get into the $300-400k range just by being a run of the mill engineer at big tech.

> If you could put 200 people selected at random for all around the country in a room and expect them to work out the principles of an economic system and come up (1) with something coherent and (2) without bruises, that would be evidence of a valid populist argument.

i read this as saying not that populism is bad, but that it doesn't _exist_. to someone trying to intuit the meaning of "populism", encountering the word for the first time, it looks like "populism" means "the will of the people". both from its root and from the things which it's used to label (movements with popular support).

and there's no correction for this misunderstanding. you just see more and more leaders critiquing popular movements simply _for being popular_ ("populist") and that _amplifies_ the impression that those in power wish to suppress the will of the people.

it's just a bad phrase. another commenter positioned populism as contrary to pluralism, which was helpful for me to understand the negative connotation. the actual problem with these "populist" movements is that they _appear_ to represent a unified will of the people, but the unification doesn't really stand up to scrutiny. if (following your example) you could put the whole populace in a room and hammer out policy from start to finish without disagreement or compromising, then we could have an actual unified will of the people; populism would be true, and good. populism doesn't really seem like a thing i should be against in the extremely rare circumstance i find it, _illusory_ populism seems to be the actual thing i should fight against.

What we do with appmap.io is to depict only your own code and not dependencies. Also, each diagram depicts a runtime trace and not just static imports. It produces a more focused diagram, and it also clearly illuminates factors like HTTP client and server requests, and SQL, that static analysis can’t see. The data can be depicted as a dependency map, sequence diagram, detailed trace, and flame graph.
This is such small portion of all meat on the market, it really shouldn't factor into the discussion for how to feed a population.
According to Google Scholar, the paper has been cited 19 times [1], which isn't groundbreaking but is an order of magnitude larger. Also, I imagine the fringe nature of scientific research into remote viewing keeps researcher numbers and therefore citation counts low.

Perhaps a better paper is "The Persistent Phenomena of Psychic Phenomena: An Engineering Perspective" by Robert G. Jahn, who, at the time of publication, was Dean of Engineering at Princeton [2]. According to Google Scholar, this paper has 286 citations [3].

Or consider "On the quantum mechanics of consciousness, with application to anomalous phenomena", also by Jahn, with 238 citations, according to Google Scholar. Or even Jahn's book "Margins of Reality: The Role of Consciousness in the Physical World", which, according to Google Scholar, has 736 citations.

I recommend you look at link 2, page 21, starting at the section "Theoretical Concepts." It overviews a number of plausible models, including one derived from quantum mechanics.

Yes, brains are RF transceivers. This is why transcranial magnetic stimulation is effective.

> Edit : the summary of quality of drivers is right in the last paragraph in the article.

yeah, honestly the problem with linux is the unstable kernel ABI, which BSD does not suffer from. And BSD also doesn't have the copyleft "can't link to anything not GPL'd" problem either.

it's not that NVIDIA's linux teams aren't good, actually they do a pretty good job with the linux driver, has a working GPGPU userland, etc (although the UI makes the windows one look futuristic, and there's been some spats around wayland etc). it's that the linux kernel doesn't care about ABI because of aggressive in-tree'ing of compatible modules, and proprietary binary modules will never be compatible with GPL unless there's some kind of a shim (like they've added). which does not apply to freebsd.

as I said, freebsd is astonishingly boring with how competently engineered and well-documented and stable the whole thing is, and it's a shame that docker/k8s is where the momentum is going. Jails are a great option (and docker is only just now starting to tackle some of the security theoretically open up a lot of support for linux applications/etc. it's just something that most orgs (rightly) won't devote even a minute to looking into, because it's not where the momentum is going.

not talking about backend services/etc here, but, if I had to design a long-life appliance where it needs to run for a long time with minimal supervision and oversight, and have minimal support costs, freebsd+zfs open up some neat options. FreeBSD is stable and long-life, so you're not going to find some critical system component churned out from under you by poettering or someone like that. And ZFS lets you deploy system updates as images/snapshots and do rollbacks to a known-safe version if something goes wrong or it fails to boot etc.
Wildfires can move incredibly quickly when you're in the path and can change direction extremely rapidly. If you're inside it could be very easy to not know one is coming until it's too late.

I've said this for a while: the solution to the management hell that we currently have is to bring back secretarial roles. The introduction of the personal computer into the workplace basically killed off the secretary, and spread ~50% that work over everybody else, especially management. So we bloated management to cover that. The problem is that when your secretarial work is being done by the people with the power to fire the ICs, you end up putting excess value on the secretarial and organizational work.

So instead, bring back the secretaries. A separate org vertical (i.e., they don't have hiring/firing power over ICs), which handles the secretarial half of your current managers' jobs, and isn't paid more than your engineers. The engineering decision-making half of the job (along with hire/fire power) should be handed over to one or two senior engineers, who are now the actually powerful ones in the engineering branch of your org chart. This keeps your technically talented people working in technical roles. Basically, instead of

In the US that wouldn’t be legal due to the CAN-SPAM Act. I don’t know whether that’s legal in Europe (you mentioned GDPR).
I am not a lawyer, but I think the CAN-SPAM Act can help with this.

The CAN-SPAM Act makes it illegal to send spam email, which is roughly defined as non-transactional email that doesn't allow opt-out. (In fact, I think it's a little more stringent than that.) The penalty for violating the act is something like $50,000 per email.

While you can't bring a lawsuit against any company for violating this act, you can complain to the FTC, who is tasked with enforcing this. At the very least, threatening the company can go a long way.

If enough people know about this and use it, it could meaningfully make a dent in large companies abusing the 'transactional email' system for promotional ads.

If it's open to interpretation, you're choosing the worst interpretation.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. These are, in fact, n-dimensional spheres -- the set of points at unit distance from the origin in n+1 dimensions. (It's n+1 because, e.g., a sphere in 3 dimensions is intrinsically 2-dimensional.)

An n-manifold would just mean any n-dimensional manifold. These are very particular n-dimensional manifolds, namely, spheres.

Now of course, this is topology, so our equivalences are broad; but the thing these are all equivalent (homeomorphic) to is a sphere. Sure, you can take a more complicated shape that's equivalent to a sphere, but that complexity is incidental; the broad equivalences of topology let us ignore them. (Although, alternatively, they also let us turn the sphere into, say, a cube, if that's easier to think about, which often it is.)

>They will not make two calculations at the same time (can't use several CPU cores like with multiprocessing)

Not true. Future executors can run in processors pool (with different cores) or using threads (same core, different event loops.)

>You have to understand that async programming is hard, and no matter how good the tooling is, it's going to make your code more difficult to manage. It has a high price.

Dude starts out with an article that lists the entire kitchen sink for concurrency; Neglecting to mention that literally none of these libraries are even considered by Python devs. Then concludes that writing async code is too hard (writing 'await' before a call is too hard.)

To me this entire article reads like someone's attempt to over-complicate things by trying to overwhelm you with information to seem impressive even though 99% of it is irrelevant to the discussion. Then makes a non-sequitur conclusion to make it seem like only 'experts' ought to touch any of this because [for you] (le simple-minded pleb) you will inevitably break everything. Lmao, fuck that, that's condescending as hell. Literally just using async def for functions that do IO and write await. There's a few things to learn but any dev is capable of doing it.

>I’ll add you probably should not go with asyncio manually. Use a higher level asyncio based lib, or better, framework. Async is hard enough as it is.

Horrible advice. Asyncio is high level already and comes standard in Python 3.6 >=. You will get far more trouble using third-party concurrency libraries than trying to use the Python library which is actually very elegant and well-supported. Twisted sucks, by the way.
In the absence of outside input the people who decided to move almost all lived because collectively they all decided to go somewhere not full of fire. People that drove a mile in the wrong direction are still already in a car moving and able to change direction and cover substantial ground quickly.

Unsubscribing from promotional emails should never depend on access to an account, since one can forget the Apple ID password and lose access to 2FA for resetting it.

No, the H2 doesn't mean anything anymore. Once upon a time it stood for "Half", with H1 standing for "First Half" and H2 for "Second Half" of whatever year in two digits.

>Number of unit tests isn't the best proxy for that goal…

However, I don’t think mindlessly creating tests is acting in good faith. It’s bordering on malicious compliance. I doubt they were thinking they can just knock out that metric so they can otherwise create better test coverage. (The OP conceded their coverage wasn’t good). Better employees would work to create a better understanding/goal. All of that points to some cultural problems.

>From the white paper, it appears as if this system requires its users to trust the server. That's not end-to-end encryption. What do I have wrong here?

It doesn't. All data is encrypted client side across all apps - Skiff Mail, Drive, Pages, and Calendar. For sending external, the whitepaper is very clear how this case is handled in section 8.2 as securely as possible (without having PGP in place. Though this is something we are looking at based on community feedback).

>Further, it looks like the email encryption provided by this system only works between users of Skiff. At that point, why use email at all? Why not use a real secure messenger? Instead of building an "encrypted email service", you could literally just build an email-flavored frontend to Matrix; either way, you're proxying to SMTP, not speaking it directly.

Lots of folks are sick of getting sold their data sold based on their email. Even corporations are sick of largely giving more information about their customers to Google even notoriously Amazon that stopped sending purchase receipts via email.

So even if not end to end encrypted, we do encrypt the emails with the recipient's keys ensuring that only the recipient can access this data. This is a strong privacy guarantee not just backed by a flimsy privacy policy but actual cryptography.
