Congratulations, you are just like every other human on the planet.
We really need to stop passing off regular human traits as medical disorders.
You probably do not have a child of 7 years old because they do not know at that age what is a prime number.

Second, basic math still that you never or rarely use or with very large time between usage might get rusty. You may understand the concept but not find the optimal solution. The way you are responding here shows quite a lot about how you are short sighted by instant-failing someone with a single question instead of trying to asses the whole person as much as you can. On you side, you are wasting opportunity to have a great person that could be a key player in your team by bringing other set of skill on the table.
Maybe solid-phase life wouldn't mainly depend on what we normally think of as chemistry, but instead some other physical processes. Perhaps radiation making patterns in a crystal that somehow manage to utilize an energy gradient in the material to self-reproduce, with the radiation causing imperfections, or mutations, in the patterns. Or some completely different physical process we can't even conceive of because we haven't observed anything like it on earth.
I should have been more specific, the way Bob Martin phrases it in the book is functions should have 0 side effects. Then he shows an example at the end of the chapter where the entire example works by creating a giant class full of member functions that mutate the owning class. I (and I think most people) assume that a function with 0 side effects means that if you call the function, the state of the object should be the same before and after the function call (and the rest of the external system should remain unchanged). But, according to the examples in the book, it seems like Bob Martin only considers it a side effect if some external state is modified as a result of the function call.

The best example of a function without side effects would be sin(x). You call the function with an input and it returns a completely new output. The function should be thread safe and easy to isolate because it never touches any outside state.
I haven't seen better tooling than what's available for C#. Curious to hear from others who strongly disagree.
There is a critical point between high and low entropy where life exists: You can increase or decrease entropy, but on either end you seem to have death. High entropy at least has more information.

Homeostasis seems to be important.

Reproduction seems important, but that's "just" a survival strategy. It doesn't necessarily seem like a requirement for something to be "alive".
Would python decorators be better for something like this?

I'm aware of that, and that it's a big deal for navies to master it, but do you know why and could you explain it to land-lubbers?

Of course, you just pull up along side, toss a long hose over (ok, fly the rope with a drone, pull over the hose), pump. Keep the ships far enough apart to prevent accidents. Easy!

Surely AWS could commit a developer to spend a week or two writing a basic wrapper, even if it's a MVP-ish set of node or python scripts that lets folks download their apps. Or for a more AWS-specific solution, export them to EC2 instances.

I'm not a ship/boat person, but isn't that the job of harbor pilots? They have training on some specific dangerous/technical passages/ports and are taken to a ship, pilot the ship through the passage or into a berth, then leave and go on their way?

I've never heard of the pilots around Port Newark needing ship-specific training, even for giants like tankers or container ships. Maybe this is somehow different in Australia?

At first I thought that this was a federal referendum about syndicating Jeopardy! on FOX. Bring back Mayim!!!

In all seriousness, though, does FCC realize it is playing with fire here? If licensing stations begins to hinge on political content vs. partisan "fact check", then that may be a final, 9-inch nail in the coffin of free speech as we knew it. R.I.P.
Ok (1) is paper thin. Self-reported can be anything.

(2) makes me laugh because these things don’t take 2 fucking months. An initial protocol for a study, maybe. In reality such studies take years and years - I’ve done it with surgical skill development training program validation.

My advice would be to conform your thing to an existing body of knowledge and build your arguments on that - that’s what we did. Congrats on the language in your answers though. Why don’t you tell us a bit more about tying up those “loose ends” and “infrastructure for data collection etc.”
Most harbors already use pilots to handle the 'last mile' of docking the ship -- part of the trials & certifications are ensuring that this one-off custom ship will handle in the various conditions in a way that the pilots will be able to control.

E.g. If something goes wrong on a windy day and they need a tug - how many tugs of what size will be needed to control it prevent damage to the harbor?

The vast majority of ships of this size are in very well understood classes, so the one-off nature of this one necessitates some special testing and consideration.

> "Beauty equals good" is an age-old trope in entertainment, points out Doris Bazzini, a professor of social psychology at Appalachian State University. In a 1999 study she co-authored, a panel watched 20 of the top-grossing movies in each decade from 1940 to 1989, rating characters by attractiveness and other traits. They found that the stereotype held true across all decades and genres. She discovered the same thing in a 2010 study on human characters in 21 Disney animated movies.

> "Attractive characters displayed higher intelligence, lower aggressiveness and greater moral virtue," the study said. Even animal characters show similar patterns, Bazzini points out: The villain in "The Lion King" is literally named Scar and has one across his eye. "Evil as plain as the scar on his face," says one song in "The Lion King II."

What are your rules for what counts as a "word"? If you go with the basic scrabble rules (i.e. nothing that would be capitalized or punctuated) then YAWL[1] is pretty good, with the downside being the most recent version I know of is from 2008.

FYI, rupturewort is the sole 11-letter word answer to TFA in YAWL; found using:

grep '^[qwertyuiop]*$' word.list |while read -r line; do echo "${#line} ${line}"; done |sort -n | tail

Some common Linux distributions have packages that provide word list files to /usr/share/dict/ in several languages. It's likely for English files to be preinstalled. I've had a plenty of fun practising regex and pipes with these word lists!

I think you are right on these points.

It's also possible previous Generative Art was not sufficiently problematic enough to be thoroughly analyzed.

Something feels different about AI than other Generative uncontrolled processes like the ones you mentioned. Can't quite put a description to it yet.

My other reply to you goes into detail on the core of where my thoughts are coming from. I agree that giving credit to the entity you got the model from also feels weak.

There is just a certain mix of deliberate intention, uncontrolled process, and expected outcomes involved here that also feels weak to classify as just using tooling
But how does the grass grow in the shade?
Haskell. I prefer Scala as a language to do productive things. But if you want to learn a pure functional style (that you can apply in Scala later as well) then Haskell is better becaue it forces you into this style. Few other languages do that.
This is a solved problem. When using an icon that isn't universally understood on a given computing platform (desktop, web, or mobile OS) you have to use a text label. When it doubt, don't use an icon alone.

What would be involved is extensive training - precisely the sort that is currently lacking. Basically, they were already trying to helicopter in folks. The difficulty is that it's rather challenging.

They need folk who are intimately familiar with the local water- and weather conditions - aka pilots.
On top of that, they need folk who can precision-steer the vessel. This is hard due to tides, current, wind, waves. Moreover, the vessel is too big to stop or turn on a dime. Hence the need for training.

Decorators are a runtime construct, this is a code-writing-time feature, wouldn't it be confusing to have Maccarone find the decorators at write-time that then did nothing at runtime?
I was wondering the same, and the article raises some other issues too:

There is not very good reason why the Higgs interaction is not called a force. I wouldn't read too much into it, tradition carries a lot of weight in how people call things.

That's not really the dividing line. It's certainly easier to get tech politics onto the front page than other political stories, but the real distinction is how interesting the story is, not how technical it is. Or rather, how interesting the resulting thread is likely to be, where "interestingness" is sort of conceptually measurable as the distance that thread will have from previous threads on previous politics stories.

What I've long been looking for is a sync service that handles syncing these directories of markdown, but then provides value added HTTP APIs on top of them.

I can sync my markdown files from place to place with ease, but what I really want is the ability to POST myserver.com/newpage and have it artificially inject a new Markdown file at the path I request.

This could be system agnostic, Obsidian, Logseq, and tons of other local markdown knowledge bases could benefit from this.

Well, yeah. I was looking at the Veron-Cetty & Veron (2010; http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2010A%26A...518A..10V) catalog recently, and it has more than 30,000 AGN galaxies (not counting the > 100,000 quasars/QSOs).

An AGN in a satellite galaxy of a nearby massive galaxy would be a bit interesting; but unfortunately this wasn't such a thing.

I've recently had to learn Jira, and holy cow the iconography (and really whole UI/UX) is awful. I have to expand the left panel and waste a crap ton of real estate on an already way overcrowded page to get textual labels instead of icons consisting of variously arranged boxes. Horizontal boxes = backlog. Vertical boxes = active sprints. Stacked shrinking boxes = releases. Of course, they're all single-color outlines with little visual distinction between them all. Who thought of this? What would have been so awful with just words or even abbreviations? Heck, why does this even need to be in an almost completely empty sidebar instead of using the dead space in the top navbar?

As someone who uses a lot of "core" Java (ie not the messy ecosystem), and gets a lot of really complex stuff done with it, I read these articles about high-tech language features like algebraic data types and ultra-strict typing, and I think, what are these people actually doing? The vast majority of software engineering consists of simple operations that move data from one place to another - from a DB to a JSON file, from a REST endpoint to a browser screen. Is all this machinery really helping? Are you sure?

Feel free, I'm not so optimistic about the mechanisms of Wikipedia.

Almost all the wrong information in the article has a high-quality source (presumably repeating either the Wikipedia article itself or some other random journo playing telephone about an event that happened in a then-relevant video game almost 20 years ago.) Or maybe the author pulled the ol' claim not found in source. I didn't check!

Serious answer: This is a job for Internet Historian https://www.youtube.com/c/InternetHistorian who is... (double ironically? anti-hyperbolically? I'm not sure how to express surprise he actually lives up to the name) someone who does some quality research about dumb old internet stuff everyone misremembers and the news media got wrong the first time.
Nothing to be ashamed of, I'd be disappointed if he thought that zoom was perfect as is. There's probably a lot of things that can be done to the product to change that.

how desperate do you have to be to write this headline? endless experiments fail to find life (as any reasonable person would expect) and then you justify your undying belief in extraterrestrials by conjecturing that maybe there was life all along but we killed it accidentally! this is one of the most cringe headlines I've ever read in my entire life. you didn't find life at any point. this is not in dispute.

I hope this is actually just brain dead clickbait and not genuine simping for aliens by claiming xenocide based on literally nothing. hey, maybe one of the scientists accidentally farted on all the moon rocks too. we can't rule this out. better alert the media and make it seem like we're actually on the case

alien hunters can't get a life here where it's warm so why would they get any out there? the real aliens are truly the friends we made along the way
Dropbox's "unlimited storage" was only truly unlimited for a very small period of time. By the time I joined in 2015, they had already changed the wording to "as much space as you need" and included concrete limits in the agreement unless customers requests quota increases.

A story I head from my time at the company: MIT was one of Dropbox's first big enterprise deals. Also significant is that both founders are MIT alums. This deal was in the era of truly "unlimited storage". One computer science professor decided to actually put this claim to the test. He wrote a program to upload pseudorandom bytes to Dropbox and periodically download segments of this data and hash it to validate integrity. I head that the amount of data was uploaded was in the petabytes range. He had specific database shards dedicated just to his user. IIRC they rate limited him, with the rationale that they agreed to unlimited storage but not an unconstrained upload rate. Eventually they got the MIT prof to put a stop to this, and I bet this was a significant in changing the wording to "as much space as you need."

The federal reserve is independent, but the current chair was nominated by the former guy - and in 2019 the former guy definitely pressured the federal reserve to not raise rates as it saw a need to.

Then in 2020 the federal reserve loaded up its biggest balance sheet in history and ignored other government stimulus.

"This" is also arguably not a "bad thing" as rates are still below the mean (during which the US saw extensive growth).

Neither us political party is actively considering increasing immigration, which would reduce the "supply side" labor of the equation as we see perhaps the largest demographic shift in workers:citizens as baby boomers retire (which is exactly what Japan saw and China is starting to see) The lowest sustained unemployment rate may not have been the best kpi to target by the last 7 administrations.

Your reply makes it seem like you're allergic to intimacy. There are upsides to compartmentalization but fundamentally we work with humans.

So no, if your job is with humans, I don't think you can do it _better_ without intimacy. I'm not trying to be pedantic either. Maybe you just care about "good enough" and that's completely fine. But not better. I'd disagree.
There are examples of decorators having no runtime effects, such as typing.overload. Bit comments are probably more flexible here since it allows arbitrary blocks, not just function/class scopes.
I'm very surprised the standard isn't to build a microkernel that emulates Linux userspace (or *NIX userspace) and is tailored towards the subset of virtual hardware that Firecracker and QEMU provide. I don't get the impression that implementing a new target for a PL is all that difficult, so if you create a psuedo-OS like WASI/WASM and send PRs to the supported languages you could cut out most of the overhead.

The "hardest" part is probably sufficiently emulating Linux userspace accurately: it's a big surface area. That's why I think creating a pseudo-OS target is the best route.
You're aware, I'm aware, and they are too. The thing is, it's not a solution; it's just temporarily masking/hiding the root problem, allowing it to grow larger and larger until it may become unmanageable.
