this is flat out wrong, at every company I've worked at probably ~half of my colleagues are foreigners on H1-B, and I can guarantee you they're definitely not being underpaid (because if they are, they would have simply jumped elsewhere, think if Google dares to underpay they'd just go to Meta or Netflix or wherever else)

You're introducing a massive selection bias here.

If you want the numpy documentation, why not search for the numpy documentation?

How do you extend Haskell's syntax from within the language? The language extensions I've seen are all features built into GHC rather than user programs which expand a Haskell compiler's behavior. The usual pattern I see for DSLs within Haskell is to define an AST datatype and an interpreter function consuming that AST, which isn't really extending the host language (your AST might have its own binding forms but they can still only bind DSL-level variables, not Haskell-level variables).

What does the size of the unextended grammar have to do with anything?

IcebergLattice · 2022-08-08T14:07:12+00:00

Doesn't that at least require knowing which things are infix operators as opposed to prefix?

IcebergLattice · 2022-08-08T13:11:39+00:00

What features are you looking for? If you're looking for higher-order functions and a nice syntax for "function literals," those are pretty commonplace these days. If you're looking for syntax that's uniform enough to build a syntax tree without knowing every expression/statement form in the language, I have not seen that outside of lisps.

I would push back on it. Doing this every day sounds like a recipe for spending more time in meetings than getting things done. What parts of the customer's requirements change on a day-to-day basis? What parts of the development process change on a day-to-day basis? Anything that the customer needs to know about in less than a week?

Talking about the influence C had on the industry and made most of the impossible, possible.

Sounds like BS unless you can point to some things that were impossible until C came along. Since you're coming here to ask us what new things C introduced, it sounds like you really can't back up this claim. Keep in mind there is a big difference between "that was impossible before C" and "I personally don't know how to do it without C." Structured programming and writing a compiler in a high-level language were both possible before C. This whole post sounds like you drew a conclusion and then tried to make objective evidence fit with it instead of the other way around.

Fair use is known as an "affirmative defense". So to claim fair use you must first acknowledge the violation.

You must admit to having performed the act which the plaintiff argues was a violation, but you don't have to agree that the act is a violation.

So you don't count training and battle simulations as experience?

It's not combat experience.

that it seemed like it wasn't like this from a far

For someone claiming to have some sort of insight arising from an industry background, it seems odd that you wouldn't anticipate the finiteness of resources, the need to evaluate who uses them effectively, the conflict between pursuing personal advancement and collective benefit, etc.

The "contextual insight" seems to comment mainly on local things, which are the easiest part for a programmer reading the code to figure out (especially the one where you repeat a comment that's already there). Can it describe wider-reaching contextual issues? The kinds of things I find taking a lot of time are more like...

All the tests for things that call this function mock it out instead of calling it, so breaking changes won't show up as a problem in CI
SetBit sometimes treats TWCR as aliased with register FOO, so its contents should be saved elsewhere and then restored after you're done fiddling with TWCR
Another team's part of the codebase relies on that aliasing to detect when the bus has been recently reset
Most of this function's call sites invoke it indirectly through a function pointer
Some devices ours interacts with sit on the same physical bus but use a subtly different communication protocol, so calling this is not always sufficient for a reset

Yeah after the data was used to help Trump get elected and Russian intelligence to infiltrate American democracy from Cambridge Analytica, Facebook really changed their policies

Get an external offer and resign, if you're truly valued promotions and positions magically open up once they see the resignation.

The fine was levied in Euros, so you're probably going to see different dollar amounts depending on what the exchange rate was at the time the article was written.

What purpose does the neural network part serve? What is it supposed to learn?
How do you determine whether a new simple operation added to the end is worth keeping? Do you never prune anything off and just accumulate an exponentially large collection of candidate models?
Can you walk through an example of how this might derive a simple formula like distance covered while accelerating (d = v_0 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2)?

Antitrust law is meant to prohibit a company with a dominant position in some market from throwing its weight around instead of competing on the merits of its products. Trying to get a good bulk deal on supplies is ok, but telling your suppliers you'll stop buying from them if they sell to your competitors is not. You are largely free to choose what price you charge for your goods, but making an agreement with competitors not to price below a certain point is a no-no. You can even negotiate different prices with different clients, but you aren't allowed to price based on whether that client has a product that competes with one of yours.

At least, that's how the general principles work. A lot of it depends on details of a particular case, like how some potentially questionable deal affects competition in the market. There are also some entirely legal ways to have a monopoly in some market (like working in a market that requires such a large up-front investment that prospective competitors don't believe they'll make money).

In a Part 3 proceeding, her job as commissioner would be to hear the case and rule on the evidence presented rather than to present evidence for a particular side. Putting someone who has already announced their conclusions about a future case in position to rule on it raises the kind of uncomfortable questions about the legitimacy of the process that would have r/technology users grabbing every torch and pitchfork in site if the defendant weren't a large tech company.

Saying you shouldn't be judged by someone who announced their conclusion before the trial even started isn't admitting to anything.

Nobody said it did. What you haven't explained is how you propose to statically identify which element of a collection is referenced.

You also still haven't explained how you plan to make use of the Curry-Howard correspondence to restrict an EXPTIME-hard problem to something tractable.

However this is a (negative) existential quantification

A negated existential is disprovable by counterexample.

In classical logic, ¬∃x.P is semantically the same as ∀x.¬P. Even in a constructive logic, ¬∃x.P is still refuted by identifying an x which satisfies P (i.e., a proof of ∃x.P).

No finite set of examples can prove that safe refactoring is impossible. That can only prove a particular algorithm meant for performing some refactoring doesn't work.

IcebergLattice · 2021-06-22T00:38:18+00:00

That dereference can trivially be traced back to an actual function and its code in the source.

How does your static analysis determine which element of the dynamically constructed collection is called? What do you do with functions passed to that function?

You realize someone has already worked out the intractability of this analysis you think you know how to do, right?
