My favorite outcome of Volta is that it's the first GPU they've produced that actually can claim this SIMT thing due to its separate program counters (we had a spirited debate about whether or not just doing masking but presenting the programming model meant the chip was SIMT or just that CUDA was but GPUs weren't).
I'm interested by the path of reasoning from evo-psych. The underlying mechanism may manifest in higher-order features like motivation. How this motivation is mediated by culture (both economic and social) might lead us to draw interesting connections with both pathology and maximising productivity.

I don't have a personal journal, but I do have a workflow that involves gradually collecting TODO notes on whatever I'm working on - then when it's done archiving the whole slab of text at the top of another file. Low-effort and surprisingly useful.

I've worked with people (software developers from a scientific background) that keep "daybooks", which are extremely helpful if you want to file patents in first-to-invent jurisdictions.

POSIX and its ecosystem is also full of this backwards compatibility baggage (I for example claim that X11 has a lot more outdated backward compatibility legacy than WinAPI - no surprise since it is much older). Just to give a few basic texts about this:

The Unix-Haters Handbook: http://web.mit.edu/~simsong/www/ugh.pdf

A Tale of Two Standards: A text by a person (Jeremy Allison) who understands both WinAPI and POSIX: https://www.samba.org/samba/news/articles/low_point/tale_two...

The reason why people tell this all the time with respect to Windows, but much more rarely with respect to POSIX and its ecosystem, is in my opinion that much more programmers have inhaled the latter.
I agree, but what can we do? Snap Inc. isn't exactly some teenager trying to make it out of their parent's garage. Patents obviously don't work, or at least not in their current form – troll litigation should suffice as proof of that – and besides, the big co's can just as well have departments doing nothing but patent all-the-things.

As so many like to say: they idea matters less than the speed and strength of execution. It's clear that the network effects of Facebook makes it very difficult to compete, but is the problem really that they are copying features from other products, or is that just the symptoms of a bigger issue?

Facebook effectively has a monopoly on the digital social network, no matter how many millennials say it's "not cool anymore" – they're still on it.

My personal hypothesis is that this is because we lack a decentralized identity feature on the internet. For better or worse, Facebook and Google solved that problem, and now everything you do is connected to either your Facebook account or gmail. It doesn't matter if you don't have those accounts, becasue everyone else does, more or less, and they're locked in. You can't bring your identity with you. Sure you can close your account and possibly download your data, but if you do that you sever the connections, which is the true valuable bit of the network – the nodes less so.

I really don't like the sheer dominance of Google and Facebook, but I have no idea how to get away from it either. Makes me small just thinking about it.
Well its not as if the content is that high quality to excuse such a monthly payments. Vue is a tool that is used and appreciated by many and is already very popular. So definitely not Patreon's fault. Also even if you put your work on Patreon you still have to promote it , it does not matter if you make the best software in the world if none knows about it. Patreon is there to help not to do the work for you. Also 10k is far from top 1, not even top 10 or top 20 more like top 50. You need 20k to be on top 10 and more than 60k to be no 1 and I am willing to bet these numbers will only go up. So 10k is certainly awesome but far from best-case.

I do. I find that I can think clearer when writing out my thoughts and have a habit of writing for 10 mins every morning.

It started out mainly as a way to manage my anxiety and feel more in control of my days (it has definitely helped). I find it really useful in managing my thoughts and reflecting on what happened the previous day.

In case you're interested, I use the Mac Notes app. I've set the order preference based on date created (the default is date edited) and tag each entry with #journal for easy searching.
Without https, a man in the middle could easily rewrite your website's content in different ways for different purposes, inject scripts, etc. Which at first sounds a little theoretical except that ISPs have actually done this to inject banner ads into unsecured pages (article's about a smaller ISP, but iirc Comcast has done this before as well): https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/04/how-a-banner-ad-...
Personal journal aside, I love the benefits of keeping a technical journal. Every day, I have these sections:

Today I worked on:

Today I figured out / debugged:

Problems / Thoughts:

Other:

I'm fairly lax about not doing it every single day, since it can become a chore or waste space. If it feels like I have nothing of substance to report, I just skip.

This is interesting because it helps me introspect about the work I'm doing, whether I should be doing it that way, whether I keep running into similar issues, whether I can fix things systematically, gauge happiness and stress levels, etc.

I've returned to this many times and often found it to be super helpful - the information that goes in here is hard-won details, and those are also the kind that are very easy to forget. It also sometimes helps with the "why had I done this this way" questions.

Perhaps I do need a personal version of this too.

> I think the problem is what we today call work. IMO working comes from helping the group you live with, and it's not just work it's teamwork with the shared pleasure of partnering to insure survival. Ideally it's a lot more meaningful, you care about others, they care about you, you know why you do things it's a nice emotional flow.

I think this is a slightly myopic. It doesn't speak to life choices like becoming a modern hermit. Honestly, I prefer solitary contemplation much more than collaboration. Of course, I need socialization for feedback, but working with a team is less sublime.
Thanks you, this is the only reply with real experience doing this.

I had a really bad day a few weeks back and in my 'rage' I quickly created a dead simple, self-hosted blogging platform in PHP for myself to keep a journal. But by the time I'd finished it, I'd calmed down and didn't see a point in writing to it. Which is in part due to the fact that I'm incredibly bad at making new habits, so while I've tried a few times in the past to journal, I just don't actually do it. My parents actually have quite a few (embarassing) journals I wrote when I was a kid. They're all scattered around my childhood because I never stuck with it.

My grandfather on the other hand, has kept a journal every day going back decades. In fact, as a gift to my parents when I turned 18, he shared with them the journal entry from the day I was born. He's now working on turning his journal into a self-published book for his children, grandkids, and great-grandkids.

That, and my increasingly shitty memory of small details, makes me want to get into journaling.

See all the company logos? Webpack is great for sure, but why does it attract so many sponsors? There's loads of other great projects not receiving a dime despite having Patreon pages or whatever.

It's the logos (and links) themselves! Because by putting my logo on your Github and project page, I can both mentally and practically claim it as a marketing expense. Marketing being an established bucket of money you can use for things that increase your company's visibility.

But if you simply offer a donation system, or feel-good sponsorship, how would I even classify that? Sounds complicated from a business point of view. Even a support contract is a harder sell than just pure marketing.

Heck, if I know my customers are using projects X and Y, I'm willing to pay just to put my logo in front of those users even if we as a company are not using X and Y ourselves! And by payment, I don't mean a $50 one-time donation, companies are willing to pay $X00-$X0000 per month for that kind of targeted exposure. And if you do this for your project, please note that companies value direct links to their chosen landing page much more than to some generic "sponsorship aggregator" page for the company.
I don't quite follow what you're attempting to say here, I mean to say that the study is flawed because "It's a study on your ability to generate random list of results", with the inference that supposedly those who generate the most random results and those who appear by human estimation to do so are the same people, because humans are actually bad at randomness, exactly as you yourself say here.

So what "appears random" is not at all a good measure of what is "actually random" to put it as simply as possible.
I find mind maps to be an excellent way working. I've tried wikis, org mode, plain text files. The mind map is fastest way of tidying up a mess for me and I found I usually don't have time for doing much more. It's either that or a text file. I'm just not going to put in any more work despite my good intentions. If I need to publish something then of course I will put it in a document.

If I'm learning about something or just debugging or designing then I'll use the mind map like a text file. I just type a paragraph and hit return. Each paragraph is a node but initially it's structurally no different than a text file - a list of paragraphs. The big advantage is that later I can take some of those nodes and put them under a sub-node. Its a great filtering tool, (filtering in the sense of signal to noise reduction). Maybe it's just because I am naturally so disorganised that I like it. Stuff comes out of my mind unstructured. I need a refactoring tool and I want one that's as lazy/easy as possible.

Some kind of an org-mode tool can work ok but I found it to be too slow to create links and embed images. Wikis are just too painful. At least in a mind map what you see is what you get and in fact the structure is right in your face (a bit like lisp).

A Bolt from Deep Blue – An Irishman’s Diary about a Famous Chess Match
I keep a daily work + personal note journal in Emacs using org-journal. All the files are synchronized using Dropbox between my machines.

The journal is a mix of a TODO list and a diary. I also have a tagging system for all the entries which allows convenient searches/stat building.

Benefits:

1. Allows to do primitive daily planning.

2. Having my daily plans/notes in searchable format allows to do all kinds of mass retrospectives (I know what movies I saw, music I enjoyed, things I did for both personal/job-related projects).

3. Being able to go back to a certain date and see what was done sometimes even helps to sort out various job-related issues.
I think I have a similar attitude. I have Google's location tracking on, but search history, YouTube history, etc turned off. I'm much more sensitive to digital privacy because it has complex, wide-ranging implications, whereas my location is a limited set of data that I'm more comfortable sharing with a semi-trusted company.

It's not digital gold, and it has plunged in value far more dramatically than gold ever has.

That said, I don't grok the value of gold either. It doesn't have any intrinsic value, it's only valuable because people agree they need something that has value. Bitcoin is the same, except without the centuries of history of people irrationally relying on its value.

New York certainly Trumps (thought this needed some comic relief) Toronto in many ways, but I am guessing you're probably making a claim based on a salary that I suspect isn't as common as you would like it to be. People I previously worked with who did the exact same thing regularly talk about how expensive it is and that they are struggling to get by. I've had the same option on the table and despite my disinterest living in the US right now, I've never been able to make the math work. Taxes are not that low, especially when you add back healthcare, and it's so expensive to live the same quality of life that I might be able to short term improve my cash flow, but if I sacrifice I can also do that here?!

It's not supposed to be a measure of "true linguistic proficiency" but a measure of the capacity to generate linguistic-proficiency-like results.

So in each case what's the gap between actual linguistic proficiency / randomness, and the appearance thereof? And of what value is measuring these human perceptions rather than the actual facts in each instance (like taking all the results and putting them into a scatter output and seeing if there is actually a pattern in the pseudorandom data, or formally analysing the grammar and spelling in question and verifying that it is technically correct rather than just "english sounding" https://youtu.be/gU4w12oDjn8?t=2m)

Can we draw conclusions about that Italian gentleman's ability to make a song that sounds like English pop music "better" than an English pop music song that is actually technically grammatically correct, and use it to infer that he's got better English skills than the writer of the technically correct song?

And if not, why are we trying to make statements about the ability of some randomness souce not based on any actual measure of true randomness?

And we can't know, because it has no intrinsic value and nobody even understands why it's so high right now. It might drop from 6000 to 2500, it might drop from 1800 to 300.

Its value only comes from the trust people put in it, and from nothing else. If that trust evaporates, so does the value.
Software as a service is an excellent way to protect against piracy which is why its growing so fast. You can offer your client your software free that he could get through piracy but instead you keep him close and offer him a monthly service of improvements and support that the pirated software cannot offer. If he is unwilling to pay then a) he is not really interested b) he is not able to afford it . So you know that in his case piracy is not really a problem because he is not a potential client. Just because someone pirate something does not mean he is a potential client. Also piracy is not a new thing, I have been in front a computer since 1988 and piracy was there since day 1, software, games , music and film. Sure the internet made it easier but it was already super easy when I was teenager I had ton of pirated music because the price of a CD was certainly nowhere near my budget. The problem got worse because a) the industries became very, very greedy b) quality droped for the sake of mass production (especially true for the music industry) . So companies are 90% to blame here and not piracy.

If it was a buyer bringing the law suit, I'd be much quicker to call them a fool.

However, it's a seller. And the seller is annoyed because Zillow has a very strong influence over foolish buyers.

Zillow tells you that it isn't an official appraisal, but then they tell you to "Use it as a starting point to determine a home's value."

In my anecdotal experience, I've noticed that people pay attention to the Zestimate, and will make decisions based on it.

Should the seller win or lose? I don't know. But I understand why they brought the lawsuit, and I don't think it's particularly unreasonable.
No. The idea is that with a need to conduct covert ops in a world filled by automated camera systems, there'd be a back-door built in, such that whenever one tries to retrieve footage of an "ugly shirt" (a special, machine-readable pattern) - that footage would be deleted.

That way a camera blackout/missing footage wouldn't signal a covert action, while at the same time one could go on defending democracy(tm) without worrying creating a media-storm about the tyrannical methods used to ensure Freedom(tm).
