Swift could have been a big player but equally I can’t see a particularly good reason why you'd choose it. I like it a lot as a language but unless I was really wedded to the idea of reusing code between server and native app client I wouldn’t be pushing it. For one it’s way too easy to create memory leaks compared to garbage collected languages.
Use an OpenAPI spec to generate clients? Nango appears to have one https://github.com/NangoHQ/nango/blob/79545622929aa4c3dca94f...
I also had to prepare agarose gels with EtBr in the past, but now there are several alternatives for gel staining, such as SYBR Green.

P.S.

A focus on soundness does not, I believe, help the cause of more correct software but distracts from techniques that have proven more fruitful in practice (and supported by theory) -- sometimes to the surprise of those who used to think that soundness is the only way, e.g. http://users.csc.calpoly.edu/~gfisher/classes/509/handouts/h.... This happens over and over: there is some important improvement in sound methods while at the same time unsound methods are making much bigger strides toward more correct software in practice. Here's just one very recent example (which isn't even necessarily state-of-the-art in unsound methods): https://antithesis.com

Of course, this is a very complex topic, because there are some specific situations where sound techniques are more powerful and practical.
I had read his post about Dengue a few days back, but hadn't looked at other posts, this guy is hilarious! The two articles about not enough nitro groups are great!
Seven years in business. Number of staff varies with the environment but we've had as many as 40 on all hands, mostly part-timers with specialised skills.

It's not a very ordinary company. Too many lawyers.
Except a moving subject, of course.
"Come on. We already know you're the Easter Bunny, your friend next door already confirmed it. All this can stop immediately, we just need you to admit it and tell us how you did it"
This makes a lot of sense. I have always wondered how it is that VCs give so much weight to perceptions. Coming from academic background, it seems so strange that your school rank weights much more in getting VC funding than in PhD admissions.

I assume you meant intercalation[1], right?

What's nice here is that `makeHash: Hash = (x: string) => x as Hash` checks that `x` actually overlaps with the branded type (string, in this case).

At first it looks like you could just lie and say `x as User` or something but it's not the case.
The sky is the limit. Or the target at least.
Isn't bromine used for anti cockroach gel?

EDIT: no, it's boric acid, B, not Br.
So what mistakes do you believe you have learned from? From here, it appears you have very much retained your paternalistic European attitude toward other cultures which you deem to be less learned or morally inclined.

While you scratch around for an answer, you might also like to remind yourself that European countries maintain undue influence in their former colonies to this very day.
VC wouldn't exist if founders didn't want and need capital and have no other way of getting it.

This is too reductive. A lot of founders have to raise because they're competing with other companies with VC funding, often dumping their product on the market at a loss to starve out bootstrapped competitors and lock in customers.
Associate the habit with someone you don’t like. That’s how I stopped all of my bad habits. Smoking, drinking, herb, going to the bar, eating like crap, not exercising, etc. I just associated each habit with someone I didn’t like or respect.

Then I took a long had look in the mirror and told myself that I was better than that person and that I could make better decisions.
Everyone has a risk profile, and some people's hubris blinds gauging those limits.
This is giving me flashbacks to the time I took an uber home from the airport in Dallas. 25 minutes of an older gentlemen (65ish) just modulating between gas pedal and brake pedal the entire time. It was awful and I wish I wasn't such a coward at the time and had told him after he dropped me off.
Agreed. VCs are companies, start ups are companies, they've got very similar dynamics.

There's no magic anywhere in here.
I was going to ask "What's an Ana and why are we cutting it?"
You seem to think that a couple of degrees just applies uniformly across the planet, or to a specific location, transforming somewhere cold into something which is now suddenly hospitable. That isn't how climate change works. It doesn't mean that Canada will suddenly be nice and balmy year-round; it means that the climate will fluctuate more wildly and wreak havoc on our agriculture, as described in the comment above. The temperature change is a global average, and your local experience is going to be a lot worse at the extremes.
Failures by the three letter guys? oh boy... Waco and Ruby Ridge are but two
This is another failure for capitalism. Why is it that socialism is working better here?
In my experience they absolutely are part of the 2% fee. Why do you think they aren’t?
The IMUs that existed on aircraft before the invention of GPS have been superseded by the ones which actually are in your phone, in much the same way and for much the same reason that a $20 Casio F-91w keeps better time than a fancy Rolex that costs more than a house in California: electronics are cheaper and better than mechanical systems.

We have, naturally, also made better IMUs for places where it matters, ones which won't fit in your phone.

The question is therefore not suited to "aircraft grade, yes or no?", it's "how expensive is the cheapest IMU that's good enough for the specific need?" which in this case itself depends on how many stops is desired.
Perhaps? Out of the various things I've tried this is the one that has seemed to have the best effect. I've not done a double blind or anything so can't say that it's not psychosomatic.

As for the expense, I just view it adding a beer to the night. At least where I am beers are generally ~$9 a pop (more once you add tip & tax) so it's about the same. And to be honest, the productivity gain from the next morning not being so rough has generally been worth it.

It seems you are using the CLIP model, which you can run on the CPU. Would you have any estimates of how long the indexing would take? Also curious how often you sample videos (every minute? every 10sec?)

One of the troubles I have is the large library of family videos, which become especially difficult to index. I've been thinking of everything from sample-indexing to scene detection etc.
Unless you stumble on it. Other than that - leaf blowers are not used only in gardening work.

Not very familiar with the openbsd dev process but noted the patches at the bottom... do they still use CVS for version control?!
The difference in popularity is more like 40x, which makes your theory obviously correct, and it also makes it a no-brainer for the devs. The server-side aspect is opt-in and someone currently using react router v6 (with v7 future flags on) will not need to make any code changes when upgrading to v7. How could a new server magically appear in your application?
Confessions, sure. But what about location of military bases? Obviously torturing people to make them admit to crimes is just horrible, and sure torture in general is pretty horrible.

But if you capture a soldier and want to know where his friends are, what their plans are etc it's probably worth a shot. You can often verify information and ask followup questions etc. I'm not saying it's the moral thing to do, I'm just saying I think it'd have a non-zero success rate. Maybe even a pretty high success rate. And honestly if I was Ukrainian I'm not sure I'd have any moral obligations to torturing some Russians either. As far as I'm concerned when a nation attacks another they forfeit any kind of human rights. If they wanted to stay safe they could have stayed home.
New genes for human male infertility found in gorillas' reproductive system
X-otomy means to cut X. Tomos = cut. Craniotomy means to cut open the skull. It's implied that the cut piece will be put back in place afterwards.

X-ectomy means to cut X out. Ecto = out, tomos = cut. Appendectomy = cut out appendix. It's surgically removed from the patient, permanently.

X-ostomy means to cut open a hole in X. Stoma = hole/mouth, tomos = cut. Colostomy = cut open a hole in the colon. There's an implication that the hole will be there in the long term.

Bonus: XY anastomosis. Open X into Y, connecting them together. Ana = on/upon, stoma = hole/mouth. Ileoanal anastomosis means opening the ileum into the anus, bypassing the colon and rectum. X and Y are implied to have a lumen and the contents of X are implied to flow into Y. Lumen = light, it means a cavity, the interior space of a body structure, such as a blood vessel.
Understood, as everyone is better off with late stage neoliberal predator capitalism I guess :D
I always thought the core user were statisticians and the hype around data science and ML called for a new way of looking at statistics (accuracy of predictions over interpretation of models) and with this a new language of choice.

“R is for statistics, but if you want to do machine learning you have to use Python”

Which is ironic given that pythons success as a data science tool is built on the back of a matlab clones.
If these truly sound that much better I'd personally buy every gardener in a 3 block radius one of these myself just to get rid of the bloody gas ones.
Has this been verified somewhere?
Yep, it's invaluable for getting your BBQ grill really going.
Unfortunately the article is very poor on details. The sound from the video is insufficient to tell.

Personally, I'd be quite excited to see what are the changes engineering wise. I bet it'd make a proper addition to BOLTR.

I still can't see how it'd be much quieter, as lots of the noise is just the air moving (and making sound waves), perhaps less vibrations, different frequencies due to different rpm?
The interest rate on the loan, is your ROI. This is reasonable because it's a very risky loan.

> If shit hits the fan, they are entitled to the payout of up to their original investment, so all of the company's assets, when liquidated, fund those proceeds.

I thought all loans are structured that way? I am not sure why this should not be the case here.
Now if we could solve this for the rest of the lawn equipment, especially mowers and string trimmers.
It's a total subversion of democracy.

Remember the "russian interferrence" scandal that supposedly happened? MSM was all over it, the only thing you heard.

10 million to Biden got from AIPAC is never even mentioned in the MSM.

It's beyond repair I'm afraid.
One can use:

journalctl --relinquish-var

to switch from /var/log/journal/ to /run/log/journal/ (which should be a tmpfs)
It's valuable to let people know that they may not know as much as they think they do. The tech industry has always suffered heavily from thinking they are smart and everyone else isn't. None of your comments had any more value than that. Which is fine, they don't have to, it's a comment section.

It's a strong indicator of a second-class mind and surface level thinking when they say "you compared X and Y!?!?". Comparisons don't mean anything. "Abraham Lincoln and Hitler were both men" is logically equivalent to what I said, and just as true. I didn't equate the societal effects of the two, I was merely pointing out that people who don't understand groups tend to lump them all together and suffer from observational bias. Human irrationality repeats itself in clear, obvious ways. Sometimes it leads to something terrible (centuries of opression), sometimes it leads to something innocuous (people saying something stupid in a comment thread) but it's the exact same mechanism. Think deeper before saying things that dumb, you're hard to take seriously.

People absolutely do not understand the impacts financiers have had on themselves. They do not understand economics, at all. This is a country (and, in most cases, it's the same everywhere, just swap the title) where most people think the President is a major factor in things like inflation, gas prices, etc. They have no more idea why the economic things they observe happen than they do why they universe exists, and so in the exact same way they jump to the conclusion they understand. Skydaddy made us, rich guys ruined everything for their gain. (There you go, I just compared poor economics knowledge to religion, have fun.)

If a lot of people think something, it is not because it is correct. (Sometimes it is correct by happenstance.) It is because they are exposed to a lot of propaganda to that effect and they don't know enough to have a more nuanced explanation.
That is battery (li-ion) powered, so it's already quieter to begin with.

Frankly, a 2021 opinion piece doesn’t tell you anything about the state of remote work. So much has changed in the last three years. CEOs and companies have adapted, and in my anecdotal experience, lots of employees as well. Notably those who were once bullish on full remote, would like to see some form of hybrid setup if it makes sense.

> Of course the problem is that while the rightwing meme of "is it FROM COVID or WITH COVID" is already difficult enough to deal with

I don't actually understand why this is considered a meme or rightwing, its always seemed like a reasonable question to me.

As you pointed out, a large majority of those who died were already at high risk, meaning they already had underlying health conditions. If someone with high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, etc contracts a novel virus and dies is it really as simple as saying the virus is what killed them?

I don't think people often articulate the question well, that's for sure. Its usually used as a talking point, but it is a reasonable question in my opinion. Saying that Covid killed someone that has been dealing with health issues for years or decades, and likely is on multiple prescription medications, writes off all of their underlying conditions and boils it down to a statistic that reads as though the person was totally fine until they contracted CoV-2.
> I am seeing a downfall in industry

Exactly, it is an industry-driven change IMO. In fact, R has gained a lot of popularity in academia, especially in the Social Sciences --though perhaps Python has gained even more.

But in industry, R's falling hard. I also think that the growing popularity of cloud analytics platform solutions such as Azure Synapse (now Fabric) is a significant factor. Though SparkR is a decent R-native API to Spark, Python has so much support in those cloud analytics ecosystems, it's hard to keep doing things in R.

But oop is not a hype. It probably exists and is used longer than the writer of the article.
"Our product takes in a full blow of air and separates it," said team member Leen Alfaoury. "Some of that air comes out as it is, and part of it comes out shifted. The combination of these two sections of the air makes the blower less noisy."

Sounds like they created a noise cancellation air channel.
Misleading headline — are they really MIT "students"? The accused brothers are 24 and 28 years old respectively; the DOJ press release says they "studied" at "one of the most prestigious universities in the world" (the indictment says "in the country"). But that doesn't mean the brothers are currently students at MIT.
With active its just the last mile that is not shared, everything after that is shared. So it can suffer from the same oversubscription problem, just depends on how good the ISP is. But adding more capacity on those shared links is easier than fixing capacity issues on a PON deployment.
America is a strange place, that’s for sure. It doesn’t look any saner from here in Europe.
I wonder if the efficiency is indeed unchanged, or as quoted in the article "keeps all that force". If so, and if the added weight is really minimal, I wonder if this could be applied to EDF aerial vehicles such as hobbyist RC planes.
Do you mean to the employees of VCs? LPs do have capital, that's why they're LPs.

For the employees, the sentiment that you should bet on the sales pitch "I won't get you fired" over "I will make you wealthy beyond measure" still holds.
I wonder if we at as a society at some point will decide that any "flow which which constantly provides short feedback loop high and lows with no substantial user interaction between" should be treated like gambling. I I mean AFIK they do affect the brain in similar ways as gambling and seem to have the potential to do quite a bit of damage for the development of young children, and at least in case of Ticktock in combination with other mental/social issues can drain you wallet as much as gambling). That might inst kill Tiktok, YT Shorts and affect any software providing engagement optimized endless feeds or similar to at least some degree (i.e. Instagram).

Sure that would be a radical step.

But from the limited knowledge I have, it would be a clear strong net positive for society, with drawbacks limited to the companies which provided such services and a small number (compared to the population) of creators which due to there focus area/skills aren't cable to have success with other content creation.

I was a long time Windows .NET Framework dev and switched to TypeScript + Node for a while because that's what all the startups were using and thoroughly enjoyed it. One thing that stood out to me in particular was just how fluid it is working with types in TS and also how good the unit testing story is on Node.

Then switched back to .NET 6 when I joined another (rare) startup using C#/.NET for the backend. .NET now is a fantastic backend platform and I've been very pleasantly surprised.

Part of it is that the base framework now feels really complete and well put together -- it feels "batteries included", but with the Duracell branded batteries and not the cheap knockoffs. The Entity Framework ORM didn't seem as competent in the .NET Framework days, but now EF Core is really, really good; highly performant and ergonomic to use. Part of it is that the multi-platform capabilities matured a lot since the 4.8 Framework days; the team I'm on is all macOS and we deploy to a mix of AWS t4g Arm64 instances. Part of it is that there's no longer a hard dependency on Visual Studio for most workloads; the team is a mix of VS Code and Rider.

What really stood out to me after that stint with TS is how close TS and C# have become[0] and even more so with the more recent releases of C# 12.

I think it's probably easier for teams that are working with TS + Node to add C#/.NET workloads than any other language/runtime like Go or Rust when there is a benefit to add multi-threading or get higher throughput from some backend system.

Perhaps in the past, not that statisticians left, but I am referring to "users", not developers.
Bankers with good PR.

But for the first time founders out there please don't sweat it if you can't get funded for a long time, you may just be early. I gave up on a great idea (that my partner later worked into a great product within an existing company) because we were unable to get funded for 3 months. And later got VC funded after working on a worse idea for a year. It can take time, It may require you to get customers first, but if you get along with your partners and can see business progression don't worry to much about VCs, they are mostly capricious up until the point you can show that its a good business. Then they are, as OP said, just bankers.
