I have felt this (?) often. Dragging fingers over a (metal) Mac Mini, some random laptop, a metal keyboard. Presumably this feeling triggers already at low power levels, otherwise I'd probably be dead.
That’s why you have to do a double induction (I’m not a mathematician so my terminology may be wrong) and also keep proving that those special polynomials that are a product of a complex linear term with a polynomial of real coefficients also have a higher (or equal) to 50% chance of having the largest root be real. For degree 2, I think one can prove this directly, and the rest is also an induction.
Interesting. Could you expand?
That’s so nice to hear, excited to see which problem you end up on!
The bigger story is how the DA and police ran with the ludicrous deep fake angle with zero basis and ruined this woman’s life.

The anymore texts weren’t threatening in my opinion. Literally trying to make parents aware of what their children were doing. Not sure why she sent it anonymously though, but that’s not a crime in of itself.
I never liked that phrase either. So what exactly lives in your head and pays rent?
Unreal Engine 5.4: Epic's latest revision delivers big performance and feature
I often build project specific tooling, to generate code or just transform some data, but maybe someday I create a FOSS version I can share.

Stuff like parse some XML or JSON and output Go structs and functions and Typescript types and functions, HTML,React Components, SQL Tables, Stored functions, Pl/PGSQL.

Mostly to avoid writing boilerplate when I use the same data structures in the database, middleware, client.
For simple CRUD apps, it works well. I use local KV to track changes so I don't have to rerun things I don't need.

But Deno is great for CLI reporting tools or Scheduled tasks, fetch and aggregate data.

I think of Deno as a little swiss army knife. It's a tool that got everything built in.

I use the Repl a lot, just for a specific task, get it done then move on.
IMO, it will probably end up like Ehlers Danlos, where you have 20 or so subtypes defined by certain genes.
Puts believe all women in new light.
Uncollectable reference cycles are shockingly easy to make in JS, especially with React. A classic example:

function closure() {
var smallObject = 3;
var largeObject = Array(1000000);

function longLived() { return smallObject; }
function shortLived() { return largeObject; }
shortLived(); return longLived;
}

Will keep largeObject alive.
Probably, but it's hardly a requirement. There have been some doing it for decades, partly fueled by Wakefield's "autistic enterocolitis" pseudoscience and partly the usual organic/vegan/raw/paleo/keto bullshit.

Xi cannot hire scientists, nor let them do their jobs, nor (least of all) educate them: else there would be a political revolution. He can only hire "scientists" whose curiosities and findings are determined by Xi Jinping Thought. And if Xi needs pi to equal 5, then pi will equal 5 -- well, either 5 or a bullet.
People are free not to use it, of course, but when they offer their reasoning I just don't think it holds up. For example, sometimes they say, "PostgREST doesn't save much because writing REST services is so trivial that it can even be automated." Again, my response to this is: if it's trivial, then why pay an expensive developer to do it? If it can be automated, then why do it it at all? If it can be automated, then automate it. Which...is precisely what PostgREST does.
I mentioned to a coworker I'm not rich enough to use my credit card, or even debit card, for everything. People tend to spend more using credit vs cash (0,1). Anecdotally, I noticed the same thing when I was younger, and since switching to cash for all in-person expenditures, my partner noticed, and mentioned, the same thing. I think most college students would concur, if they gave cash a chance for a few months, and I think being raised on exclusively credit cards leads to bad financial habits.

I think Visa and other private financial institutions are aware of this affect, and attempt to drive social change and expectations through legislation, advertising, sly dealings to ensure terminal ubiquity, and sweetheart media coverage painting cash as outmoded.

Cash makes a real difference for me when budgeting. And I should leave it at that before this becomes half rant, half anti-creditcard manifesto.

The yelling CTO and the Glassdor reviews are certainly a red flag for potential employees.

But the company itself is interesting.

They built an add-on for PowerPoint for which they charge more than MS charges for the entire Office Suite (my company pays around €130 per year and user).

With a million users served by approximately 20 devs they are very profitable, which they highlight in their job ads.

As a small company with a relatively boring product, they need to do something to attract new people. And they can afford to approach every c++ programmer individually, support community efforts (standards committee) and sending people to Aspen for a conference. They might be a little clumsy so their recruiting comes across as spam.

As for latest c++ features not being appropriate: as a user, I don’t care as long as the product works as intended, which it has been doing for me since over 10 years now.

Here [1] is the DSM diagnostic criteria for autism. It's broad to the point of absurdity. The reason many people think autism is a faux disorder is because it includes everything from an individual who simply sits in the corner endlessly flapping his hands, completely unable to function as a human being, to Bill Gates or Elon Musk. The weaker diagnoses, which is an increasingly large chunk of all of them, often seem like an effect to pathologize normal behavioral differences within people. This is, IMO, one of those things people are definitely going to look back at think 'wtf were they even thinking?'

Private Equity Consumed America [video]
In this purely hypothetical universe -- in which the Israeli government was acting in an at least arguably rational fashion in regard to securing a timely release of the hostages, and protecting the security of citizens otherwise; in which it wasn't concurrently stepping up its rampage in the West Bank because it thinks the world will be distracted by the much greater number of bodies piling up in Gaza; in which there was no Dahiya Doctrine --

What we have here is the "They're just going to criticize / hate Israel no matter what it does" defense which has been raised as a blanket response to pretty much any robust criticism of what Israel does, for several decades. Or to paraphrase only slightly how you put it: "Israel's existence is the problem, serious criticisms about what it does are tools for its dismantling."

So to answer your question - of course no, I don't buy it. And yes, fundamentally the current response would be very different. There wouldn't be an ICJ case; there wouldn't be calls for sanctions against units like Netzah Yehuda for doing what they're currently doing out here in the real, actual world; etc.

If not, what is the mechanism by which the world could tell the difference? What trustworthy organization would impartially inform us all that there is no genocide in a way that you yourself would believe it?

The same organizations that are the obvious answer to this question (independent journalists and human rights groups in and outside of Israel; UN bodies; forensic analysis teams, etc).

In short, yes - in this science fiction universe, it would be a very different response. You're not going to agree of course, and that's fine.

Your other bullet points seem to be ancillary: no one is acting on what Hamas is claiming about the ongoing genocide, for example. And the Gaza Health Ministry numbers are a huge red herring (even Israeli military intelligence considers them to be generally reliable and uses them in their briefings; US officials believe the real numbers may be even higher, etc).

I was lucky enough to be in Tromsø in February 2013 during the last solar cycle maximum. It was absolutely amazing, even a local who we happened upon near one of the fjords while he was cross country skiing - in the middle of the night - said that he had never seen such aurora. They were gold and purple along with the more common greens and reds that we had seen all week.
I’m not sure what point you are making with this reply. I’m late/adult self-identifying autistic. I’ve done this with some of the standard tests that psychiatrists use, attended workgroups related to the topic, and studied extensively. Self-diagnosis is highly accurate for autism, both for positive and negative evaluations.

I am also pursuing a formal diagnosis because so many people downplay it when I tell them I’m autistic. I don’t have the affect at first glance, but it does come out in my behaviors if you get to know me a bit. I’ve also had the luxury of therapy, eduction, etc.

I also agree that the categorization is overly broad and your original post resonates. There are various non-overlapping clusters of traits that fall under autism.

I do think, however, that at the core of it is a common difference in information and sensory processing.
What does it have to do with interest rate?

I have seen microservices being used to decouple release management and deployment. To untie organizational dependencies. To separate cyber/dependency supply chain attack surface area. To reuse parts of the system in other projects. To take advantage of different platforms better suited for that specific job (e.g. most of backend in Typescript, ML/statistic parts in Python).

Never to borrow money, though. I participated in some talks with VCs and they never cared or knew they should care. Where do they give out money for using microservices?
Does that really sound fun to you? Why would a player want to grill an NPC about their friend Rolf if all that they're going to get from it is improvised LLM-generated anecdotes?

Players don't talk to NPCs simply because they want to see text on the screen. They're hoping for well-written and interesting dialogue. If the devs couldn't be bothered to write lines for this guy, why would I want to talk to him? He clearly has nothing to say worth listening to.

Have you actually tried asking ChatGPT to tell you a story? It's boring. It's not a good writer. I don't know why you think players would want to spend time reading that stuff.
Aren't in-game ads old news? Sports and racing games have had them in the past. Even a shooter game like Quake Live had them for a time. And they're all over mobile games. The article makes reference to "next generation of in-game ads" but doesn't elaborate what "next generation" means.

I'll play devils advocate and say in-game ads aren't terrible if they're in the background and aren't immersion breaking, for example if I were playing a racing game and drove past a Coca Cola billboard I wouldn't be bothered. Without Coca Cola's sponsorship the developers would have invented their own fake product to put on the billboard anyway.
Oh yeah, definitely reasonable. I'm a statistician by trade, so if I see R^n, I want to put a multivariate normal measure on it, which means hyperspheres. Hypercubes are cool too. Just as long as we don't treat the limit from growing the hypercube to cover R^n as being equivalent to a uniform measure on R^n. Unlike, say, in probabilistic number theory, where they shamelessly get away with defining the equivalent of a uniform probability measure on infinitely many integers, much to the consternation of every other kind of mathematician.
IT sounds like we largely agree then.
My objection was that you made it seem like life status at t1 (initial good health) is as good of a predictor of outcomes as life status at t1 plus all of the additional details for the rest of the life.

You could not have predicted this outcome based on initial good health.

Yours is the fundamentalist view and it always has its place in the debate. But it is not necessarily what the organization needs.

There are benefits of running notebooks in production rather than reimplementing things in another environment.

1. The prototype is tested and verified. And I don't mean tested as in 50 unit tests and integration tests. But tested in the way that a human actually looked at the result and was satisfied. Reimplementing means that you will start from scratch.

2. That the production env is the same as the analysis env means that it is trivial to go back and debug issues.

3. Sometimes maybe what you need is a fast solution. Not sending stuff into the scrum loop of a separate engineering team and pray it makes it into a sprint not so far away.

TL;DR get shit done.

Back in the 90s, Object REXX was available on OS/2. I used it to tie a mainframe application on 3270 to SQL calls to update a database for a windows application. Once Object REXX was released on Windows, we moved it off OS/2.

REXX is not PL/I, but very easy to for a PL/I programmer to pick up.

PL/I on the mainframe can be a highly effective application language, but there's a number of features that are ferociously computationally expensive that were acceptable for low volume or one off stuff that had to be avoided by production applications.

COBOL is tedious compared to PL/I. While I had occasion to fix COBOL bugs and performance issues and even taught SQL to COBOL programmers I refused to write COBOL programs.

Then there's Multics PL/I. I did a pilot project to evaluate porting from IBM VM to Multics on Honeywell and discovered a flaky environment. I saved my employer a pile of money by killing that idea. Unfortunately the HW GCOS had to be replaced by a Multics machine which gave no end of problems. Happily that was not my problem.
This is not what the license says.
I mean I was diagnosed with a salad of things. And then different doctors tell me different things about how they're all related or unrelated. It was honestly a very amusing situation. The only sense I got out of the whole long ass process was: neurological sensory difference "combo" in the roll of the dice, some of it given hereditarily, some this that and the other. I really see why this stuff is so frustrating for people. I'm super lucky circumstances are such for me that I can give less shits about the social issues my autism causes, allowing me to explore it.I actually just started a blog last week to share as I explore this stuff, I'm a bit shy to share it as I've never blogged in earnest before, so I have no sense of if this is good, bad, silly, lame, boring, etc: https://b.h4x.zip/autism-thinking-and-whiteboards/

Did their 4-9 hour(!) mandatory take home coding test. Never done such a terrible test in my life; in every way they made a test akin to basically locking a c++ dev in a room for anywhere between 4-9 hours and afterwards rolling a die.

Its underspecified, but then has automated tests, that, after failing twice, automatically reject you as a candidate. Of course it doesnt give examples or example test cases or real test cases, so you're shit outta luck trying to solve it. The challenge itself would be fun and solvable in 4 hours, but around the 2 hour mark you start having questions and from there its just bad.

You can google this coding test ("think-cell interval_map") and youll get a lot more info.

I complained to them just in case they cared, and they did seem to care, but failing to specify an automatically tested coding challenge is the kind of psycho shit you do if you think youre the smartest guy in the room (but arent).

ETA: To be clear, I stopped the second I realized it was an underspecified test. I'm not that mad, just mad I fell for spending a whole saturday morning doing it, without ever talking to anyone there in a call or anything.

That and the fact that theyre just building a powerpoint plugin and seem to overcomplicate it to such a massive degree: Yeah no thanks.
Google says zero interest rate policy. No idea how is it related to software architecture though.

Maybe it's one of those people who think that software engineers like to give themselves more work and headache just because, and can't imagine there's something other than his own experience?

But whenever I participated in this decision, it was under heavy scrutiny by multiple layers of tech and corporate leadership, and done only because it was the best way to solve our problems.

So one place I worked might win some sort of prize for the dumbest way to burn $5m with a memory leak.

So back in the 90s the printer driver in Solaris had a memory leak[1]. At the time I was a contractor for a big bank that is sadly/not sadly no longer with us any more. This was when the status of faxes in confirming contracts hadn't been sufficiently tested in court so banks used to book trades by fax and the system that sent the fax would also send a document to a particular printer which would print the trade confirm out and there was some poor sap whos job consisted of picking up the confirms from this printer, calling the counterparty and reading them out so that they were all on tape[2] and legally confirmed.

Anyhow one day the memory leak caused the printer driver to fall over and fail to print out one of the confirms so the person didn't read it out on the telephone. The market moved substantially and the counterparty DKd the trade[3]. A lot of huffing and puffing by senior executives at the bank had no effect and they booked a $5m loss and made a policy to never trade with that particular bank again[4]. The fax printer job was moved to windows NT.

[1] According to the excellent "Expert C programming" this was eventually fixed because Scott McNealy, then CEO of Sun Microsystems had been given a very underpowered workstation (as CEO) so was affected a lot by this problem and eventually made enough of a fuss the devs got around to fixing it https://progforperf.github.io/Expert_C_Programming.pdf

[2] Calls in the securities division of banks are pretty much always recorded for legal and compliance reasons

[3] DK stands for "Don't know". If the other side says they "don't know" a trade they are disputing the fact that a contract was made.

[4] Which I'm sure hurt us more than it hurt them as they could just trade somewhere else and pay some other bank their commission
I mean.. if a judge can't see this then yea you have a big problem. Which the US does.
