Can I ask where you are seeing in this advisory, or the posted article, that Canada is stating or implying that the USA is unsafe for such persons? As far as I can tell, the current travel advice for USA is "Take normal security precautions" which is the lowest threat level in the Canadian travel advice system. [1] As far as I can tell, the advisory for USA just says to check local laws concerning such topics as pot, nudism, and sexuality as they vary by state, which as far as I know is just a fact that is relevant to traveling Canadians. I don't understand why this is controversial? I may be missing important context, which is why I am asking.

I also learned ableton without any resources, but back in 2003 when it was a simpler product. It begs to be tinkered with (I think that’s the draw of it) but it’s a deep bit of software.
A bit that makes it attractive to me, if I pay someone and the job is done in a way I don’t like, I end up fixing it anyway and am out of pocket.

Do it myself and any issues are easier to live with as they are my fault.

Well, I guess where you worked was either stack ranked or a generally oppressive atmosphere smothered in politics. Work should be a collaborative effort, even from the greedy billionaire perspective you hire 2 people to do twice the work. If you end up being 25% efficient something is wrong.

And this is a sort of odd angle to begin with: your work isn't private to the manager stack. Some CEO ordered a product manager who ordered a director who ordered your manager to order you to make that stuff. the CEO probably doesn't care about you, but it would be easy to track you down if they did care. Likewise, I'm sure any reasonable company has a log history that other co-workers can access
This isn't any more interesting than saying the same thing about smuggling secret messages in controlled 'dice rolls' or any other generation where you know the distribution. It doesn't have any important connection to AI or to memes.
Totally agree. You’ve done a great job articulating my feelings on the matter as someone who writes a lot of TF day in and day out (end user, not an integrator/consultant/etc).

Follow the money. Without a workable IaC tool a lot of the backing companies’ business models fail. That’s why they’re treating this like the final act of Les Miserables.

HC has done a lot of great work with TF but left themselves open to this competition by not providing better value consulting services or pricing around TF cloud.
> I believe the main reason usenet faded

I believe it was due to AOL and CompuServe forums, which were most importantly, new, novel, friendly and easy. Technical people were "above" AOL and so those Usenet communities survived a few more years, but ultimately succumbed to web forums which were superior to Usenet in almost every way.

Unfortunately, web forums were mostly hollowed out due to social media, and now that people are sick and tired of that, the simplicity and "innocence" of early 2000's forums, and even 90s Usenet, seems appealing (although tinted by rose-colored nostalgic glasses).
Point taken, but an important point here is exactly that companies are abstractions, and they exhibit emergent behavior -- cases where the the company as a whole, responding to "its" incentives, "does" things that no individual at the company would necessarily do or even condone if it were all up to them.
Yes, we have already submitted the model for evaluation on the Spider holdout test set. While your suggestion is certainly intriguing, implementing a universal solution could be quite challenging, as it would heavily depend on the specifics of the dataset.
I have never met someone who is anti-environment. That’s an active stance. Everyone values the natural environment differently but labeling someone as actively opposed to it betrays a deep misunderstanding of other views.

I don't think writs of outlawry ever existed in American law. The Wikipedia article on it lists a bunch of English examples, but even then, they're all fairly old - like the later examples are in the 1800s.

Native species laws would not interact with writs of outlawry. Capturing outlaws and putting them in a safari would be construed as aiding and abetting, which might get you thrown in jail or outlawed yourself.

I suspect if you tried to convince an English court to actually apply a writ of outlawry to someone, they'd write a scathing and condemning response to your request to have someone Purge'd by the small claims court. If you're absolutely itching to see what happens when someone tries to invoke an ancient and unrecognized function of the legal system, then perhaps you might want to watch this video, in which a lawyer reads and explains a legal filing in Iowa that petitions for trial by combat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMT9pyilkwA

> In other words, it shows that there is something fundamentally impossible in trying to capture an infinite structure (like numbers) by finite means (e.g. recursively axiomatizable).

Let me just point out for other readers that Löwenheim-Skolem applies to ANY first order theory (in a countable language, or also in an uncountable language if stated in the form that a theory with an infinite model with cardinality at least that of the language has infinite models in all cardinalities at least as big as that of the language), it doesn't care about how complex the axioms are from a computability point of view
Electronics. I was always drawn to understanding 'how things work', and the answers increasingly relied on knowing things like circuit design, digital microcontrollers, and general electricity fundamentals.

Later I picked up Basic, which was coincidentally used by the Basic Stamp that my school had a few spares of, which led to my software career, but hardware is still taking up my benchspace.

Hackerspaces and working on physical things in general i think brings the social element, especially when someone needs a tool you have and you need something they have ;)

The soil quality there is very low. Also, large parts of canada are covered by the 'canadian shield' which is basically where glaciers have scraped down to bare granite bedrock. If we had thousands of years to adjust, I'm sure we could manage but you're not planting huge fields of wheat, corn or soybean in that soil.
>Without them, I don't think I'd be a programmer today.

Same. LPC was ridiculously powerful considering how limited it was, and it was easy to learn things just by reading other source files. Not having to worry about graphics--you just described how things looked, can't get any easier--and making a thing that could walk around and act sort of independently was very satisfying.

I wish there was something similar today. LPC and LPMUDs are still around, but the license is somewhat restrictive, and trying to get people to download and use a MUD client is too steep of a barrier for casual gamers. I get motivated every now and then to do it myself, but it's a lot harder than it seems.
Soon to be: teachers ARE AI.

You're all having fun now. But you'll regret using AI for anything because soon humans will become mostly fit for manual labour while AI concentrates the wealth of the world into the hands of the tech elite.

Then, without a human connection in teaching, children will grow up into psychologically damaged adults.
>”Have you thought about this approach" can come across as condcending. Of course I thought about that, it was the first thing I tried before the much more complicated solution that actually works.

This is what I want to hear. Tell me you first considered it and ruled it out because of XYZ. No where am I saying “I think you’re incompetent and I would have done it this way”. On the contrary, I think you’re the right person for the job and I want to hear the assessment of the various other approaches (if any) and why yours fits the bill. It could be as simple as “well, mine does Y, others don’t”. Next time someone asks you about your approach, try not to assume they are trying to belittle you or get you into a “gotcha” situation.

I’m sorry that you had bad managers in the past and are hurt by someone asking about your methods. I genuinely want to know so I can defend the choice to the higher ups on your behalf.
> And as the company grew, the founders soon realized that managers contributed in many other, important ways—for instance, by communicating strategy, helping employees prioritize projects, facilitating collaboration, supporting career development, and ensuring that processes and systems aligned with company goals.

And has anyone asked what happens when the manager fails in doing all this? For example, what happens when the manager ensure processes and systems are aligned with their OWN goals instead of company goals?

> Google now has some layers but not as many as you might expect in an organization with more than 37,000 employees: just 5,000 managers, 1,000 directors, and 100 vice presidents. It’s not uncommon to find engineering managers with 30 direct reports. Flatt says that’s by design, to prevent micromanaging.

In my company, the ratio is 1:5. Micromanagement, JIRA story points, agile and performance ratings based micromanagement flourishes at the expense of engineers.

> The lowest-scoring managers improved the most, particularly in the areas of coaching and career development. The improvements were consistent across functions, survey categories, management levels, spans of control, and geographic regions.

In my company, the lowest-scoring managers simply retaliated by rating the identified employee lower.

Imo, the manager system can work if and only if the power of performance reviews and firing is taken away from individual managers. This doesn't mean that the power goes upwards to another manager. Instead, perf reviews should be done by technical leaders, firing should be a last option only after serious consideration. Without these safeguards, managers are just bosses that retaliate when someone reports them.

As well as what wrs said in a sibling comment, iCalendar does not have a way to specify the location of a meeting in a machine-readable way that can be turned into the timezone for that location.

Sadly, iCalendar is very much tied to using timezones for locations. I expect that if/when Europe finally gets round to abolishing DST, there will be some significant changes to the timezone boundaries, and as a consequence, much hilarious calendaring failure. Dunno if it will affect as many people as the 2007 DST changes in North America, which caused a lot of extra work for people running Microsoft Exchange, because it was designed assuming that timezones never change. And this design error carries over to iCalendar, tho (apart from tz boundary changes) it is better than it was.
In the OP's example, 2023-11-05 01:30:00 America/New_York, 1:30AM occurs twice as at 2:00AM the clock rolls back to 1:00AM. Normally this is resolved by including a disambiguating timezone, EDT (first 1:30AM) or EST (second 1:30AM). But if there's no timezone indication to accompany a geographical location, there's no way to disambiguate the time.
Catarina Dutilh Novaes has been arguing much the same thing. She has a 2021 book out, The Dialogical Roots of Deduction, which is on my list but I haven't gotten there yet.

Some extracts from the survey:

- 1329 online interviews from Julia users (May-July)

- Julia use: 85% in 2022, 88% in 2023

- Users plan more Julia and Rust

- Popular technical features: speed, performance, open source, package manager, multiple dispatch, solve two lang problem, composable

- Most popular non-technical features: free, active developers

- Biggest technical problems: no self-contained binaries, slow compile times

- Julia adoption: not enough Julia users

In my experience "this timestamp is UTC, show it to the user in whatever timezone they might be in" is the most common case for times in an API/file format, so giving it the Z shorthand makes sense to me.

While when using an explicit time offset, `+00:00` doesn't appear particularly special or more common than other offsets, so I don't think a shorthand for this case is useful.
According to another comment, this is based on GBA doom. Dos.zone seems to already support multiplayer, so it should be as simple as implementing (probably copying in) the multiplayer part to replace the link cable functionality.

For the longest time only the parties I didn't want to vote for could talk about it.
I think it takes more than money (i.e. culture). There's also a lot less integration between the West and Russia/China than the countries within the EU. In general, I think it takes a lot of time. Actually, the more I think about it the more I think it's quite complex, so too hard to go into all aspects here.

Then of course, as for China VS West, AFAIK there hasn't been any wars for almost a 100 years?

I also think expectations are set too high. Let's not perfect be the enemy of great - some tension is probably inevitable (Greece VS Germany, UK VS rest of the EU). But the trade war between China and the US (as media likes to put it, or at least did for a few years) is a lot (like, infinitely?) better than a real war.

DJing and it was naturally born out of the love of music.

I’ve invested a fair amount of cash in the equipment (4x CDJ-1000 mk2, 3x PLX-1000, a DJM-750mk2 mixer, etc - c. €8-9k all in) but it’s fun to have friends over for B2B mixes (or B2B2B2B depending on who’s around!)

I enjoy the ability to easily switch styles/technique. Quick-mixing d&b every 16/32/48 bars or looping techno over 4 (digital) players is a very different experience to the tactile, analogue - and brutally unforgiving - world of vinyl.

Thanks to DVS (digital vinyl system) technology I can also mix/manipulate digital music as if it was vinyl.

You're right. Bad Google suggestion for "max string length postgres" that pointed to https://hevodata.com/learn/postgresql-varchar/ saying varchar max is 64KB, which is also wrong. I gotta stick to the official docs. Anyway, TEXT is the one we care about.

> But you understand that people can genuinely like you right?

Yeah, I do. And when I get genuine compliments, I like them!

But it's obvious when someone consistently prefaces their statements with "softening" compliments. When they're "deploying" a "communications strategy."

Talk to me like a real person, please. It will make it easier for those compliments to land when recipients know they're real. But if you're the type to always lead with one, then they're all worthless. You're just a happy-talker. Your praise is empty.

This is one of the tasks for which a functional quantum computer is needed. Simulating quantum systems with classical computers is (as far as it is known today) exponentially hard. Even simulating a hydrogen nucleus (which has a single proton made out of 3 quarks) is actually too complex for even the biggest classical computer we can build. An oxygen atom is FAR beyond what we could ever simulate with any known algorithm.

Note: it's not currently proven that it's impossible for classical algorithms to simulate quantum systems in polynomial time, but it is strongly believed to be the case.

It was for college kids, it was for hooking up.
At first blush this sounds like a pretty obviously correct thing to do. But please note, for anybody who hasn't read TFA yet, the headline is slightly misleading. They are removing the requirement to have had a high school course in Calculus, Physics, or Chemistry, specifically for students who don't have access to those courses (eg, their high school doesn't offer them) AND maybe more to the point, these students still have to learn the material and demonstrate mastery. They are just given a different route to do so. Specifically, they can learn using Khan Academy, and then take a certification test. Or, CalTech will accept AP placement tests or IB tests, with a sufficient score.

So it's not like they are "watering down" anything and not requiring incoming students to know these subjects. They're just trying to accomodate the (suprisingly large to me) number of students who had no viable route to getting those classes in high-school.
Beekeeping. It’s fairly inexpensive and most people love honey (you end up with masses).

You can find swarms pretty easily and it’s very satisfying to save them. A bedraggled clump of sad bees in the rain can be transformed into a productive monster given the right home.

You can learn it from a friendly beekeeper, a local club, or a good book. There is no substitute for seeing a skilled person work with them though.

And coffee. I don’t care an awful lot how it’s made (unless it’s instant or pod) as I subscribe to the Gruber rules [1], minus that weird bit about keyboards.

You can have a great coffee very inexpensively and it’s another one that is widely appreciated. I toast the bean and grind them in the grinder I restored and brew on a reproduction Faema E-61 [2]. It’s a massive luxury and is one of the more beautiful bits of engineering in existence.
