Funny that his topic would pop up. Years ago I posted to the PalmAddicts web site on this very topic. I see it is still there at http://palmaddict.typepad.com/palmaddicts/2007/09/return-to-...

You might enjoy reading it. I had almost forgot about it.
Sorry, Facebook already did.
I don't disagree at all. American culture actually seems to be unusually good at resisting xenophobia.

But that skill was developed through practice.
Why? The performance differences between V8 and JSC/SFX are marginal at this point.
Thanks! I did not know that. It's a brilliant move.
Part of the problem is that "American Morning" is not that much better than "American Idol". In fact, I think I'd rather watch the latter; at least it's somewhat entertaining.
Cute, but unless you have some way to verify the client code every time you use it, it's only a bit more secure than a regular web chat site over HTTPS.
Oh yeah, hilarious... In a very troubling kind of way.
I believe the answer to your question is "three years ago", except it wasn't a single device, it was most phones.

I've owned "dumb"phones that could do this five years ago as easy as regular calls.
I was wondering the same.

Perhaps it's because it's a very obvious statement? Apple routinely purport its products are perfect, that every detail is a facet of the best craftsmanship on Earth, use gaping-mouth words ("sooo perfect") and giggles of joy. Apple markets its products as technology beyond cutting-edge: they are superhuman, perhaps built by aliens and bestowed upon us mortals, things that change our lives and do more than technology is ever expected to do.

I am not trying to exaggerate here for cheap comedic effect. I seriously believe anything less would be very not-Apple.
One implementation would be a service where a job ads includes a submisison mailbox like Gu1D@planForresumespam.com. The service company collects statistics about who is spraying their email everywhere and provides employers with a "spray score" for each resume collected.

No employee involvement would be required.
Play is indeed awesome...and extremely fast when compared to Rails.

Wasn't it mentioned in keynote? Where do I got June 21st date then…
I hope the author is reading this. I'd love to see the look on her face when she sees you guessing that she went to college "a generation ago", when the post starts with a big picture of her.

She graduated in 2006.
I don't live in the US, I won't be fired at the drop of a hat.

They managers and colleagues are also just people I spend a lot of time with. I know a lot about their private lives and they about mine. I could work at other companies doing similar things for similar income but I stay at this one because I believe in the things it's trying to achieve with its products (not very successfully yet, but I do what I can to improve things...), and so do my colleagues.

And yes, it all happens against a background of making money, but it's also a huge social thing. The two aren't opposites.

I actually did leave this job at one point, still got invited to the company barbecue, and when my new job didn't go so well (didn't click with the culture there) and a few other programmers had left the old job, I got asked back and did. There are several ex-colleagues I still have contact with.

I lead a boy scouts group, during summer camp last year we weren't allowed to go in public pools because of Covid, so I asked if we could use the pool at our founder's house because it was in the same area, and he thought that was a great idea so we did.

In the end it's people you spend a lot of time with, of course it's social.

(company size ~80 people, 20 years old)
Except then he goes on and says you can't expect consistent performance across servers either :)

Probably not as bad as laptop troubles, of course.
Where is there a comprehensive poetry packaging tutorial?
>a recent study found two-thirds of workers ‘craving’ more in-person time with their teams

[Note: study was conducted during a global pandemic in which casual social interaction outside of work was forbidden and/or lethally dangerous]

It's also funny that if you click the link to the actual Microsoft "study", it says "The Next Great Disruption Is Hybrid Work—Are We Ready?" in giant letters at the top of the page. The tone completely contradicts the article.
People in this kind of career easily make twice the country's average. If most people can live on that average, then you can bear a 20% salary reduction.
Here's a list of public STUN servers (non google too) https://www.voip-info.org/stun/
Game theory is an abstract mathematical model. Citing mathematical models is not science: science requires experiment to verify whether your model holds up in practice.

In this case, one could gather data from different countries to see if there's any correlation between the effectiveness of police and their level of legal protection.

AFAIK, police forces in other rich nations function just fine without qualified immunity (admittedly, I have not studied this in detail).
This is an extremely rare event.

In this case their was abundant video.

Usually no one is around when cops are being bad, and their cop cams are always flipped off?
Somewhat related: I have an example repository which I've been using to keep track of the tools I use, aimed at people in a research lab who are relatively new to Python. I made it because the existing example/template repositories I found don't gel nicely with the way I like to set up and think about things. Here it is -- hope you find it useful:

Awesome work - anyone see a list of which browsers are supported?
WashPo treats its readers like mushrooms. Keep them in the dark and feeds them shit.
doesn't matter how long I need to scroll I always try to reject everything for every website that I know I will visit multiple times.
And I also use NoScript and uBlock Origin

But this is a prime example for a "dark pattern"

And also, if I can't reject most of the stuff I just close the site
Any Kanban board should work.
Things evolved in the 70s. Hash tables were added over time, with some alternatives were using some tree like search. Usually the first thing was to make the symbol table not a list -> making the symbol table a hash table was reportedly done in 1971 by Jon L White. Tag bits then also were not a part of the pointers (with only very few exceptions), but a part of the data object (numbers, strings, arrays, symbols, ..).
I don't get why they are doing this. Wouldn't it make more sense to let them be independent, so the VR ecosystem seem larger and organic?
I hope they will port "/E/ OS" to all the Android One phones as well
Aha, the Interactive Advertising Bureau not the Internet Architecture Board.

It's always hard to tell whether people think their three letter name is so distinctive nobody could mistake them for anybody else or whether such confusion is instead desirable...
More specifically, I think at the end, money that I got wasn't worth not spent time with family and pursuing different life paths. My friends who were taking it slow has not much of a different life than I do now.

More deep in that topic, Mihály Csíkszentmihályi has a good experiment where they research about what life worths living by asking many participants with different incomes. Result was pretty clear that after some amount of money the life standard has a plateau.

At the end I think this can be considered as an engineering optimisation problem of scarce sources which is limited "time", therefore if I had a second chance I would choose balance more then leaning to one side of family, religion, work triangle.

How does that matter? The user was kicked off. Punished for speaking out. How is that okay?
Spotify's Discover Weekly has improved a lot since I started following different Artists. At the begginning it was more like what you just said everytime the same music over and over until I started following new Artists.

The same thing applies for New Releases.
Then there's your market.
They do care about the risks they’re taking and invest a lot of money into risk management. But the real risk management is in buying politicians with campaign donations, lobbying, and revolving door jobs after they leave office. Favorable regulations, weak punishments, and bailouts are much more effective. Bank risk departments are just risk theater.
That's not how this game is played. For every billionaire trying to make the world a better place, 10+ billionaires are just treating this whole thing as a game and abusing us, peons.

And even for the folks working on those rockets, it's not so clear cut. Reading how their workers are treated, the whole thing is quite gray and murky.
I wasn’t guessing outcomes based on binding affinities, I was going off the data they posted in the article AND multiple large controlled studies on stimulants in ADHD populations.

For instance - stimulants in ADHD populations do not cause suicidal ideation. Which is nice. This drug does for a non trivial number of folks who get it.
Ever seen clowns? Some of them make quite a business out of making people uncomfortable

> Engineering culture should be disseminated via documents rather than oral lore.

I'm always startled by comments like this because it's so counter to how I understand humanity. We are social mammals. No amount of good grammar and excellent font choice can substitute for sharing the same physical space together, an act that has been core to what it means to be human literally since we first speciated.

Yeah, writing stuff down is important. But engineering culture is a culture in the real sense of the word and trying to transmit that entirely through text sounds to me like raising a baby using a six-axis robotic arm.
Go woke, go broke Mozilla. You could have concentrated on Firefox being the most secure and privacy-focused browser, but instead you spent energy on "progressive changes".

You're first mistake was getting rid of Brendan Eich.

Then you started removing useful features in Firefox (see RSS support, etc).

I've moved on from Firefox now, but there's still a part of me that hopes you see the light and change your focus.
>Is Intel really falling behind

Intel is already behind AMD -- they have no product segment where they are absolutely superior. The means AMD is setting the market pace.

On top of this Apple is switching to ARM designed CPUs. This also looks to be a vote of no confidence in Intel.

The consensus seems to be that Intel who have their own fabs -- never really nailed anything under 14nm and are now being outcompeted.
> Even one doing math for fun can end up spending all their time solving math puzzles that are created just to be math puzzles and which don't tie into any greater discoveries.

Numberphile had a good take on 'recreational maths' with their video on the loops and strings in pi. Dr. Crawford has a good bit near the end (~12:30 mark) on how these techniques lead to bigger discoveries. The 'playing' around and the methods generated often lead to much deeper truths in math, and serve as very good practice for new mathematicians.

This is very cool !

Silverstone MM01 is such a PC case, it's been out for a while
It’s not that cherry picky. There’s thousands of scenes like the one I posted that require raw skill. Yes the majority of anime is mouth flapping but every episode usually contains at least one or two or more action scenes where real skill is involved.

If anything the people who do these scenes which I’m assuming is the same people who do the mouth flapping requires raw skill that is not easy to come by.

If there is a role for a low skill artist that exclusively does mouth flapping then yes it’s an oversupply side issue for those people, but it does not explain the low wage of the person who does the action scenes.
Or an adaptation of a game; the ones with multiple endings even sometimes receive multiple anime projects to show off aspects of the different paths and different endings.
Same here on NixOS. I'm running dhcpcd: on new leases/router adverts it calls resolvconf and updates /etc/resolv.conf accordingly. I don't feel the need for yet another daemon to perform such a simple task.
Someone who uses unfree software because it gives him an edge does not appear to share RMS' goals.
Arguably, Bargue accelerated the decline of the French Academy. Once his drawing course started reliably producing skilled draughtsmen, skilled draughting became less interesting and important as in fine art. It's a common observation in the field of art history that the 19th century, in "perfecting" academic realism, set the stage for the 20th century's rejection of it, since there was nothing left to say with it.

Regardless, I've done several Bargue drawings, and they're wonderfully meditative once you get into them. You don't need an atelier, though it would help. You can find copies of the plates online, and many videos of artists doing one, to show you the method. If you want further guidance, email me (look in my profile) and I'll set you up. I've actually run lunchtime classes at work making Bargue drawings.
It's easy to criticize and hard to understand.

Similarly, it's hard to see the cost of criticizing and it can be hard to judge the benefit of understanding.

Because of this, we'll see patterns of ignorant criticism playing out again and again. Some of the people in the pattern will never know any better. Others know better but don't care. Others know better but can't pay the price to understand because it's too high.

So when you find someone who actually defaults to understanding rather than criticizing you've found someone of rare value.
Standard? Who proposed? Who accepted? Any names, documents? Standard is a serious word.
Observation, if verified that it's done correctly, is a fact. Evolution is actually observed, so it's a fact.
The deliberate conservatism of medical science may be appropriate in "peacetime", but it is murderous in "wartime" (a pandemic).
See my anecdotal comment above. Also, do alittle research on the parabolic rise in suicide hotlines. People's mental health has been damaged and that fact can't be discounted. Mental health is as important as physical health in my opinion, if not more.
There are a few books on this I haven't read about Corporations over the past 30 years using the court system to gain as much/more rights than citizens.

There are countless examples. I have an LLC. Self employed. People making minimum wage are getting $1.4k checks. The single owner LLC's (with max'ed out payroll capped at $100k), through PPP single owner LLCs get maxiumum $20.83k. It's never been more clear to me the slant to trusting corps over people. Also my business allows me to write off way more than a typical American Citizen.

My recommendation: equality with corps will be a near-impossible fight for someone like me, so all US citizens should have a personal business even if it is only making paper losses.
True, which is why I mentioned it, but I was “beyond incompetent” at Eagle and always gave up before finishing even a single design, so while I knew the basics of how PCBs got designed and made, my first commercial PCB ordered was that one and I found KiCAD notably easier.
Recently Apple added a feature to iOS that allows you only to allow selected photos to be accessible by an app. This allows the user to respond positively to an access request, but allow the app to see only a subset (or zero) actual photos.

It would be a very useful feature for Apple to do the same for contacts: the app would think it's getting access to your contacts, but would only actually receive a subset of them, and be none the wiser. This would be a tremendous boon for privacy.
To go along with the parallel thing, you can imagine both of those loops are much easier to vectorize too compared to if each a was acting on objects with the damage stuff and position stuff combined in one structure.
It is not front running, and can only be conflated with it if you don't know what front running actually is, don't know what PFOF actually is, or both. Firms that pay for order flow are paying to be the counterparty to transactions that have razor-thin arbitrage opportunities. They are not placing orders with advance knowledge of upcoming orders; they are reacting extremely quickly to fraction-of-a-cent spreads in the price of a security and pocketing the difference.
I second this. As an expat living here for the past 3 years this has been my experience also. The Dutch are open and sociable but creating bonds is where it seems to stop. And this is not just in relation to expats. I've met Dutch people who have moved to Amsterdam/Utrecht from other cities and were basically hanging out with expats. I've actually talked to them about this, and they've expressed the same feelings.
From my observations it's usually that the Dutch have a small group of friends (usually knowing each other since being little or high school) and they don't really feel the need to either make new ones or let anyone else in.
This does come of as being cold though.
yes, it will recognise properly and use the cpus well, 10.5 or better.
xcode is great. nicely configurable. i needed some adjustment from emacs to xcode, never looked back to emacs on mac.
builds are stable. occasionally i had too fiddle with libraries when used 3rd party stuff. macports is your friend.
dev(objc/c/c++/qt4/java/python) on mac is smooth, less clutter, good docs, easy access.
It's also becoming ever clearer that Google isn't actually very good at doing things other than their core services: web search, e-mail, and the associated advertising platforms. Even those are slipping.

Now, that is very telling. Google should be awesome at building new products with the developer talent and general resources they have to throw at any idea with potential. And yet, they have basically released (and subsequently canned) one failure after another for a long time.

Even the advertising systems and related tools (Google Analytics and the like) are pretty poor in terms of usability/APIs; people use these tools because of Google's place in the market and because they give a lot of goodies away for free, not because the tools themselves are particularly good.

And even web search, the heart of Google's operation, isn't what it used to be: they seem to have become victims of their own success, with so many people out to game the system that a lot of their results pages aren't worth the time to type in a search term any more.

It's not clear how much of this is down to culture or management factors, and how much is just the unavoidable consequence of being the biggest kid on the playground. But either way, a lot of people at Google must have worked on projects like, say, Wave, and it's tough as a developer to put your heart into a job only to see it canned because it wasn't promoted effectively or the timing just wasn't right for the market.

Meanwhile, for all the extra features and so on, Facebook basically only has one product, and it's one of the most successful on the planet.

Other things being equal, which culture is going to be more fun to work in? It's not a tough decision, is it?
If the observation made here was "this guy got unrealistically impressive results because he was able to parallelize across every password hash", I'd agree.

But the observation was instead "this attack worked largely because the passwords weren't salted". No, false. This attack set a price of $1.62 per password using the simplest available GPU cluster resource. In no definition of cryptographic security is $1.62 a reasonable threshold.

Scrypt, bcrypt, or PBKDF2 can increase that cost factor to many tens of thousands of dollars per password without incurring appreciable costs to the applications using it.
The openness of the web, just as the openness of the Americas (when first discovered), will inevitably turn into a demarcation of borders and "property" dispute. The first settlers here had free reign, the land was truly "open" just as the Internet was truly "open".

When it is so open that eventually the masses adopt it - it goes from being an open entity to a closed entity because diversity of opinion is so wide amongst the masses that it [the public as an entity] seeks to control it and manage it (movement from expansion/openness to contraction/closedness). An interesting example of social entropy.

Where will open, free, and innovative grounds be then? On the leading edge. http://gnunet.org, FreeNet, VPNs, and even privately wired LANs are the best examples I can think of right now but who know what the future will bring? Maybe the next wave of open and neutral communications will be in the growth of the DSN (Deep Space Network) as humans slowly take to the stars? I see true open horizons less and less on the web now and a resurgence of the explorer taking to places untouched by the majority; I see that most in privatized space, space tourism, and hopefully space colonization.

You will rarely ever find true "open" or "neutral" proclivities amongst the many - you can only find it amongst Individuals of whom the hacker community is largely made up of. Politicians serve the masses and not the Individual, you will never get the politicians to embody leading edge ideas because they will never be elected since mass-consciousness by definition cannot be leading edge.

I'm repeating myself now. I just wanted to say: I do wish the web could stay as open as it has been or was even ten years ago but as more people adopt it and use it the less open it becomes; look for the ability to share knowledge and information anonymously through software like GNUnet and FreeNet or VPN or LAN networks. Look for the next wave of revolutionary ideas, platforms, and social change to occur through leading edge spaces. The Internet is no longer leading edge to those that have been riding this wave - look for the next one! (for me, the next one is (again) privatized space)
While we are on the black magic thread, are there other meta-programming tricks that people find useful/clever?

I'll share one: import inspect. It's handy to use during debugging.
I'm not saying it was a pretty picture. It wasn't nice in other places either. In England children worked in mines for centuries.

It was the ignore reality part that USSR did so wrong (with shooting/jailing being a result). China doesn't seem to have a problem with ignoring reality.
Governments have gotten wise. They push the boundary slightly. A thousand little inconveniences kind of keeps up on the populace. It's the frog in the pot of water that slowly comes to a boil.

I have become part of the problem. I have to balance things and see if action on my part is warranted. Right now, I've decided it isn't. The U.S. has the highest percentage of it's population in prison (bar North Korea). Prison sentences are harsh in the U.S. There's a lack of sobriety when it comes to crime and punishment. I've decided it's not worthwhile to me to risk getting on the terrorist watch list or being harassed and provoked.

I know the water is slowly boiling, I know what is coming but I'm too comfortable to be willing to risk what I have. The most I do is to implore people not to visit the U.S. Don't come here for vacation. Also, I'm trying to leave the country. I want out.

As to what it will take to act....I don't know. The government does a great job now of preemptively arresting protest organizers and charging them with terrorism. After some months they always drop the charges. The police state is here, in my opinion. But the average person doesn't sense this. Too few people see it. It's not a great answer but it is the truth, I don't know what it would take for me to act.
