Well now you're shifting the goal posts to a different topic. I was responding to your claim of this set of companies being random and your concern about some not being included
The size of these companies is irrelevant to that point
And who are these companies you keep mentioning? They don't even come up when I search them on DuckDuckGo. That's how small they are in comparison to the companies the author included as "big tech"
> Why have we chosen these 13 random publications? I'm assuming that the NYT is included literally just because the people who did this study don't like the NYT?
These are some of the biggest media publications that write about tech issues, these aren't just "random" choices. This author seems to focus on "big tech media" as is mentioned in the article multiple times, these are big tech media, independent journalists are not.
Anecdotal, but I know every one of them off the top of my head, I've personally never heard of AnandTech and had to google it.
Perhaps if they were to remove the concept of nil in golang, but since they are all about backwards compatibility (which is nice to be fair), I don't think there's much change of seeing mainstream adoption because of how many existing projects will rely on default value in certain circumstances
I'd love to be proven wrong, but even with generics if you start using option types, it's going to be like JS and TypeScript where you'll have some parts nicely typed and others are the wild west
Most project management systems have methods for dealing with checklists, this is definitely not what slack is designed to do no matter how much they market it as a "productivity tool"
So if you're not using something for project management first you need one of those, but just about everyone does, and once you have one you can start using it's checklist features
Then it depends on what that specific software offers, but even if it doesn't have a true feature for creating "templatized checklists" which I assume people want so they can repeat the same list, most have duplication functionality so you can just create one as a template and duplicate it as needed.
Legitimate question, is there enough interesting information in this book worth reading if you already agree with the premise, that in complex situations checklists can be good?
I've known about it for awhile and this review does a good job at providing a real-world example of where it's useful, so other than ideas of how to make good checklists I'm not sure if actually reading it is something I should do
I think it's hard for me to say exactly without a side by side comparison, partially because this one had different toppings than my normal burgers do, but it seems fairly comparable in flavor and I would buy these again. I've also had an impossible burger a few years back at a nicer restaurant and that was good too.
I think both are to the point that if I didn't know what I was eating and didn't deeply try to analyze and compare, I could eat one without any idea that it's not meat.
I'm now somewhat interested the next time I see my family to see if I can pull off a ruse of making burgers for dinner from these and see if anyone even notices, particularly my brother who would say there's no way you could trick him XD
lol thanks. I read that totally backwards, and after having that burger tonight i concur with the commenter. They're pretty damn good, I'd happily eat another
This was said as a current meat eater, but if I keep down this recent ethical veganism youtube rabbit hole i might not be that much longer
This is an incredibly unconvincing article that flat out misrepresents facts or didn't do enough research to actually understand what happened.
Most of it complains saying that Impossible Foods went to market without being approved by the FDA and implies it's unsafe, but that seems to be literally 100% false and completely misrepresents the facts from my basic research on it.
They received FDA approval in Oct 2019 [0]. The Center for Food Safety filed a lawsuit against _the FDA and Impossible Foods_ later that year saying they didn't think a strong enough standard for approval was done. Earlier this year, the court ruled in favor of the FDA and said they did have enough reason to believe it was safe. [1]
I had some more written about this but it doesn't even explain the method it claims is better, provides no scientific evidence for them, and ends by saying things like "WILL NOT SAVE US" and "NOT MORE HUMANE" bold and in caps. You can make up your own mind on how trustworthy this is.
it recommended me (to rent) what I thought was a science documentary about space and the cosmos once and i just trusted it wouldn't recommend me some crazy conspiracy theory and rented it... NOPE.
It was about how ancient aliens mined out the moon and control us or some other crazy pills kind of idea
My actual normal video recommendations are quite good and shift alongside my interests over time quite well without prolific use of "not interested" or incognito shrugs. Rented movies seems bad though, especially since I'm already a paying premium user!
I see you're an economics professor with an interest in computation, and perhaps learning to program? Awesome!
Ask any experienced programmer how often they use StackOverflow, and they'll tell you daily. It's an invaluable resource to our community and we often wonder how we got along without it before.
In particular, it's great for highly specific questions about very niche things. Like, with this version of this library and in this stack, this very odd behavior is happening and I only see it in IE8, what could it be? That's not something you'll find and answer for on MDN. MDN is a fantastic reference resource when you know what you're looking for and need the details, but it's not a Q&A platform about anything.
SO is not perfect, sometimes you have to dig for the right information (something this change is trying to improve), and perhaps it's not ideal for beginners, but I wouldn't want to live in a world without something like StackOverflow, and would be significantly less productive
right? These word by word break down responses don't ever get anywhere
the whole argument he's making has operates on the presumtion that the vacccine is unsafe, contrary to mainstream scientific opinion. Then the only evidence he has to back that up is lack of evidence on long term effects.
But...the type of which would potentially appease him is only possible with a time machine, so it's literally impossible to appease him
Having talked with a guy basically trying to recruit for it at the aerospace village at Defcon one year, I can say that working for the government without really working for them (e.g. not wearing suits) was a big part of how he sold it. That you're still a civilian and things like that, but get to work on cool stuff like hacking aircrafts
+1 I actively avoid listening to podcasts on Spotify because I strongly disagree with them trying to take over the one type of content that remains fairly open and not locked in to any particular platform
The web UI is severely limited compared to the desktop client which is why I suspect they do this (even though I disagree with it).
I've had some very confusing meetings because I worked at a company that required us to use web, but the presenter wasn't and what she was seeing didn't match us which led to some confusing scenarios. Things like the grid view weren't there last I used it and some of the more advanced presenter features just don't do anything for web iirc
There's a whole book on this history of zero you may enjoy called "Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea" that goes into the whole story of how it came to be including problems and resistance along the way
(mods I promise I'm not here to shill this book but people keep wondering about the history and that's a great resource that I like XD)
There's a book called "Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea" that goes into the history of zero in detail, admittedly I haven't finished reading the book myself but got at least partway through and it was fascinating to read about it and I'll one day finish it :)
What you said about it not being in the numeric system is definitely part of it (ex: roman numerals not having it) but also all the problems that come up with zero have to be dealt with (e.g allowing dividing by it allows you to prove anything, and there's a great proof that winston churchill is a carrot in the book showing as such), and there's some overlap with religions in fearing "nothing" and what that might mean
> The purity of CBD and, in particular, the composition of the materials labelled as CBD are also important, especially in light of our findings suggesting that other cannabinoids such as THC might act to counter CBD antiviral efficacy. This essentially eliminates the feasibility of marijuana serving as an effective source of antiviral CBD, in addition to issues related to its legal status.
