That doesn't even work very well with 3D printing. You have no chance at all of transferring something from 10µm chips into a commercial fab.

Event store architecture seems to solve this rather eloquently.
One of the fundamental problems in programming is the lack of well-defined and higher-level data types. The types that work out-of-the box similar to libraries. A big chunk of programming is about how to map real world concepts to data types and how to map types to other types. Still, often programmers use primitive data types like strings, ints, etc. for representing real-world concepts. Why don't we start delivering type-first libraries which focus on well-defined and well tested data types, so that you don't need to re-invent them every time. And make to them free of errors and easy to share (bundles with versions). Notoriously difficult data include monetary and money units, and how many times we need to ask chatgpt and stackoverflow people what is the correct way to validate phone numbers, urls, etc. before we start focusing on data types and validation? And before anyone has the chance I want to say that indeed libraries expose data types which you can use, but in that case a library should separate the data types from methods and depend on the data types (library).
That's wild. It makes me wonder how many people know what the circulate internal air button does and if it would be sufficient or not to prevent the above happening for the driver
I’m sure you are already considering this but you’ll probably want the ability to “background” update the local cache so that you don’t have a request hang randomly every X minutes. Also might be nice to specify “I’m ok with a potentially old cache value” on a per-key basis. In my case I think I’d always be fine with “if you can’t reach the config server just use what you last got”.
Oh, never mind my other comment. It doesn't merely sound like you're blaming thefts and murders on people who don't give out free money, that is in fact what you're doing.

Sorry, but I have no pity to spare for criminals, certainly not murderers. People who will take what they can't get by other means are not fit to live in society.

Hello all,

I'm sharing with you the design of 3 unique hardware products that I designed.

If you are working in tech or you're a gadget lover, you may find some of these designs useful.

clamp and mix are good candidates. Ternary operator syntaxes are rarer than ternary operations, because there's not much that can justify being so syntactically indulgent.

Conditionals are common enough that they can justify the indulgence, but even then I prefer an if-else expression syntax over ?:, it generalises better to other constructs such as pattern matching.
That's shockingly cheap given the size of those books. Is Intel publishing them at print cost?
Your comment kinda reminded me of "Rasterbator", a software I used 15 years ago to decorate a wall at my uni dorm. It took an image and a size, and gave you back a pdf with a4 pages to print. The pages were just dots up close, but when arranged in the grid with the other papers and looked at from afar it would be the original image.
Part of the goal with releasing the dataset is to highlight how hard PDF parsing can be. Reducto models are SOTA, but they aren't perfect.

We constantly see alternatives show one ideal table to claim they're accurate. Being able to parse some tables is not hard.

What happens when it has merged cells, dense text, rotations, or no gridlines? Will your table outputs be the same when a user uploads a document twice?

Our team is relentlessly focused on solving for the true range of scenarios so our customers don't have to. Excited to share more about our next gen models soon.

Interesting. I wouldn't categorize a market that has N customers and 1 vendor, or 1 vendor per type of good (as in this case, since a market could have other types of goods and services not sold by a grocery store), as not a "market". It's not a "competitive market", but since a market is by definition, a place where buyers and sellers exchange goods for money (or goods for goods), then I think it still qualifies as such.

Looks like they haven't actually published the source code, despite both GitHub and PyPI claiming the project is apache licensed. If you install the package all you get in the wheel is precompiled cython libraries and the absolute minimum python code needed to import them.
Unfortunately I don’t think this has any relevance to that at all.

Buybacks don’t linearly increase share price, the stock is simply exchanging hands. If the company already has a 100B market cap, that amount is not making any huge waves, especially spread around a full year.

Replace “large funds” with “large shareholders”, the point is that employees receiving relatively tiny stock compensation do not benefit much.

Compilers are there to make things more efficient for the machine running the code. Obfuscating a string is the opposite of that. What they actually do much of the time is collect all the string literals into a contiguous pool so that their addresses are fixed and well-packed, providing efficiency at runtime.

It's actually very easy to find string literals in executables because of this, not hard.

"learning" as a noun descends from Old English so has always been current in the language in the intended sense.[1]

"lesson" came from Old French in the 13th century and has changed its original meaning over time.[2]

There's not one single dialect of English so your comment comes off as unnecessarily prescriptivist and has spawned significant off-topic commentary (including this very comment) in response to an otherwise perfectly worded composition.

It's extremely fast.

This car is actually somewhat well reviewed, which really surprised me, considering I was looking at "car guy" reviews who would usually have a lot of fun lambasting something like this.

It's almost literally a tank, but apparently it's fun to drive ( I suppose with the battery that massive, the center of gravity must be low...) and it has some sort of quirky appeal.

I think you are right in that it competes with something like an Urus.
Could you imagine how that would play out in case we started applying this logic everywhere, and we completely lost the concept of "the weekend"?

- "I know that this is your day off, but everyone will be requested to come to work this Wednesday because the team is about to miss the sprint goal"

- "Now that banks and stock markets open on Saturdays and Sundays, we will have to have everyone on call rotation, all week long."

- "We do not have the budget to increase our team by 2/7, so everyone will have to pick up the slack"

- "Sorry Jane, your refusal to continue on a strict Mon-Fri schedule is hurting your chances of making progress on this company. Yeah, I know you have children and that schools are not open all week long, but Mary has been showing up whenever asked and she seems to be more reliable".

This idea of "individuals should be free to choose all the time" is also another good example of cultural differences between North Americans and Europeans.
Look at the American companies that claim to offer "unlimited PTO", but when you probe it a bit further and ask how many vacation days employees took on average, the recruiter will tell you "oh, about 12 days".

This idea of "freedom to choose" works mostly to get in favor of the system to get peons pitting against each other. The only way to have the majority of people benefiting from a community-level policy is to apply it at that level.
Any recommendations for high level overview/learning resources about this? It seems interesting, but like most Linux internals, things get real technical, real quick.

I have used a successor [1] of FIGS and my experience was that although the theory is elegant, their benchmarking was incomplete.This is something I would look out for if you are planning to use it on a real-world problem. Again, this is not to be negative about the paper, but there is a gap between the theory and practice.

I had raised this as an issue [2] on their repo, but after a few exchanges didn't receive any response. If you look at the last comment on that issue thread, you will see that Random Forest with proper hyperparam. search produces competitive results.

> This point is reasonable and data seems to suggest that it is statistically probable.

You found a random datapoint to compare to without accounting for confounding variables. That is an unserious analysis.

> Yes. Can 21K deaths be attributed so slavery? No evidence. This is not splitting hairs, this is a reasonable approach to digging into details when dealing with complex issues.

The issue is not complex. You are just using this air of objectivity as cover for your intellectual incuriosity. You could literally stop arguing with me and go read articles that have been documenting the high mortality rate and human rights abuses, that have been coming out since around the time that the Qatar World Cup was announced, but you wont. People have done the legwork to bring this journalism to you, but you wont bother to go and read it, because you'd rather pull some stats out of your ass and call it a day, and then lecture others about emotionally-driven arguments.

The fundamental problem here is that you are being intellectually incurious, but don't want to admit it, and you are trying to stave off the cognitive dissonance that happens when you read about something bad happening, so you can contextualize it and go about your day without feeling sad. If that's the case, just say "I don't live in Saudi Arabia why the fuck do I care", at least it's honest.

Buttons feel crisp and responsive, the postfix input is a dream I can't remember living without; it's also easy to disassemble too!
EA level 1 support probably doesn't have access to these controls. They probably stuck whatever tools EA has given them :/
Five or six teams is probably an underestimate if they had glued different games into the same system. EA has made a ton of games with online features, bought companies, etc.

The company I work for now likely has weaker security simply from having glued various acquisitions in. We have API endpoints specific to some of them.
I'm still not sure whether I understand. Logging is not something that appears out of nowhere, it's usually the developers' task to write logs. I haven't seen a framework that does logging for you (except for internal components).

Do you maybe mean how easy it is to integrate existing logging frameworks into your application?
If you could fit even 9 logic gates into 1 square mm with a construction mechanism that scaled up to 2cm by 2cm you could build a rather capable 8-bit CPU.

I do wonder if taking this approach would work better with a novel construction method. Lithography and nasty chemicals are easier for resolution, but nasty chemicals.

On the other hand there will always be someone standing by to tell you an FPGA could have done that.

I hope so. And that's not only USA-copanies phenomenon. I worked for a french company in Montreal which payed close to zero tax amount even though they are doing more than OK financially world-wide, including Canada.
EA doesn't care. They definately should pay and I'd imagine this would be in the high 5 figures or more. Their customers don't care if their code is secure. 99% just want to play Madden.
Just IMO as a semiconductor expert, but to try and scale down the existing semiconductor process is not the right approach. It’s just too complex. There need to be new tools optimized for simplicity of reagents, like no toxic photoresist and developers, no deadly plasma gases, etc. Or, if those steps are required, that they can be decoupled from the local lab. Example: you can just buy silicon wafers coated with oxide or metal today
It varies widely. When I went to school, the library was closed after the last class let out and you weren't allowed to go there during lunch. It was essentially off limits to students. The books there weren't anything to write home about either. They mostly used it to store textbooks. Other places will have pretty good libraries.

For your service, sure.

And I mean, I could quibble, but let's roll with it.

Good luck getting finance to work with "event store-based spreadsheets", finding an "event store data lake" for your analysts, getting that other engineering team to also switch to an "event store"-based view of the world when they just want to query the system about a point-in-time about whether a user is up-to-date and aren't going to make another one for another month no matter what you do to your data store, so you'd better be right....

Event stores are an internal implementation detail, like whether or not you use Postgres or MySQL. They don't save you from the effects of changes and the parts of your state that leave your control. The example is well-chosen... billing state is going to leave your system, and the business forces causing it to leave your system are going to be powerful to the point that if you try to stand in front of them and yell "STOP! You all need to use an event store architecture if you want billing data!" that you will be fired and replaced.

Which is not to say that it's all hopeless. You can take care of the data well inside of your own domain. But as I know from experience, you're not freed from these forces just because you've got a good architecture. You really, really want to careful how you proceed forward, the moreso because nobody else working with billing data is going to be.

I'm responsible for the "usage based billing" portion of the billing system. I've often thought my primary contribution to the billing system hasn't been the usage based billing, but sitting in on the meetings as a senior engineer with a bunch of other people who are not engineers and whose programming teams are also busy with other non-engineering tasks, asking the right questions, and making sure that we get down to the true crux of the matter and find the exact right groups to do the right tasks with the right data coming from the right place, and making sure we don't get a whole bunch of workarounds from the wrong people sending the wrong data to do the wrong tasks, and then someone somewhere "just" "fixing" it later. Even when, and perhaps even especially when, the final task results in no action items for me or my team and all I did was ask the right questions, it is just so much easier when you don't make architectural mistakes in the first place in these cross-team decisions. Basically, using those requirements elicitation skills more than anything else.

My system basically is an event store. That doesn't so much solve the problems on its own, as keeps me flexible and able to respond to the other much less flexible systems as we work through problems.
Well it might be fun for a sec.

They definately do have backups, no-one is storing 400mm records on a single machine and ultimately you'd just take them offline for an afternoon and then spend 15 years in a federal prison
Well put, I've been working on an vm/interpreter design for several years. Which has to be low abstraction if it is to run fast enough to be useful. I keep painting myself into unforeseen corners, bad enough that refactoring is often not even an option. But having written code on a daily basis for 40-ish years, it's the only kind of code that tickles my brain anymore.
Strange, because that sounds reasonable but the reasoning doesn't actually work, does it?

Either "the law" can be trusted, and there's no point to deleting data after a cut-off date, or the reverse is true and you're no worse off getting caught deleting data.

I believe the law actually provides a middle ground. You're liable for tax fraud for X years, but you're allowed to delete the data after Y years. Since X > Y you make it much harder for the tax office to sue you if you delete data. Plus make it pointless for them to use their other investigative powers against you, which is in reality more important, especially for smaller firms.
> You're in favor of holding executives hostage to demand access to data? If they actually did something illegal, they can be arrested/tried for that, but arresting executives as a means to coerce companies into doing stuff is a total perversion of the rule of law.

Turns out that witholding data as a company executive is outright illegal, so yeah, we're in favor of it and they can get arrested and charged for for it.
I did almost exactly this job for a company recently. As far as I know, this is what killed the rollout.

This may reach nobody, but FWIW I meant to use this link in the sibling comment: https://www.reliasmedia.com/articles/147475-evolving-ethics-...

“The Right to Try Act was ‘unnecessary in the first place’, according to Kearns. Terminally or seriously ill patients have had the ability to access investigational drugs via the FDA Expanded Access (EA) pathway for decades.”

“most people overestimate the odds researchers will determine an experimental drug is safe and effective”

“if an adverse event occurs in a patient who took the drug outside a clinical trial, it could lead to negative repercussions for eventual drug availability. […] Right to try also could divert patients away from participating in clinical trials.“

And to answer your question, your first sentence made the case. All currently approved drugs represent previously unapproved treatments. The FDA is approving 100-200 drugs per year, and processing around 2000 investigational drugs per year. No idea what you mean when you claim progress has stopped, that comment doesn’t reflect reality. https://www.fda.gov/about-fda/histories-fda-regulated-produc...
