> If we ignore that for a moment, the point you are making applies to management too, yet this tech is guaranteed to not be used for management where things and outcomes are left 'more fuzzy'.

I'm not convinced this is true. Management may have been given more leeway on 'soft' outcomes, but there's a longstanding trend of (messy, failed) attempts to quantify that role. Every attempt to incentivize cost-cutting, scale pay inverse to raises given, stack rank between teams, or otherwise measure staff outcomes is in effect a performance metric on management.

It's true that most of those have been immediately eaten by Goodhart's law, and we don't know how to quantify actual success like we do for "widgets per hour". But I wouldn't suggest that a lack of will to do it has been the problem.

(I do think this argument applies to the top of the executive level. I'm fairly convinced that most non-founding CEOs could be replaced at a discount with minimal harm, and only market distortions are preventing that.)

Most of those are rebranded chromium.

The only big ones that are independent are Safari (since Google forked Webkit to create Blink), Firefox, and IE/Edge.

And the impression i have is that Safari is lagging, Mozilla is directionless and struggling to keep Firefox relevant, and MS is, well, MS.

Ever since Opera folded and made their browser a Chromium clone, only Mozilla have been carrying the banner for standard correctness. And even they seem more and more bow to Google's decrees (whole virtually cloning the Chrome look and feel with each Firefox update).
Definitely the case quality and the fact that it serves as a supplemental charger, even when not connected to a power supply. Wireless charging along with lightning charging as well as super audio quality that is indistinguishable from wired headphones of a similar form factor and price.. that's why AirPods win.

The pairing part is just a one-time thing and yes, the experience is nice, but pairing ease isn't the primary selling point. My portable Bose speaker paired almost as quickly as AirPods.

Criticism of AirPods is almost universally from people who've never used the product.

The third plank is a list of antitrust proposals in line with what Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has called for the party to adopt. Facing rising corporate inequality and markets increasingly dominated by a tiny handful of firms, Democrats will propose a new federal office and federal guidelines that would aim to make it more difficult for companies to merge and easier for federal regulators to call attention to their “anticompetitive” behavior.

Brand perceptions can definitely change but the reality right now is that for the past 5 years AMD has been shipping non-competitive parts and has had zero premium design wins and very little money spent on advertising.

For the average consumer, every high end system they have seen in recent memory is Intel, and every ad they have seen is Intel, and if they have seen AMD at all it has always been positioned as a budget product.

That is going to take a long time for AMD to turn around assuming they can sustain performance parity with Intel.

That is also why AMD is focused on servers and semi-custom where they are selling to technical people who are evaluating based on price/performance and not based on brand perception.

I support Scihub and all efforts to make the body of human knowledge and scientific research freely available to all humans... especially if any of the research has been funded by taxpayer dollars.

I believe that at most, these journals should enjoy a limited copyright that expires after a short time (1-10 years?) after which the papers should be freely available.

That being said, this is disappointing to me:

> Sci-Hub was made aware of the legal proceedings but did not appear in court. As a result, a default was entered against the site.

This response creates no opportunity to argue a compelling case for why scientific knowledge should not remain pay-walled by publishers and/or establish new legal frameworks for copyright of scientific knowledge.

Here is a bonus article from Priceonomics I'm a big fan of (that I'm sure has been shared here before) about why paywalled science is Bullshit:

Considering how successful in the laptop space AMD has been for the last... decade, I don't think they have much market share to lose here.

Laptops have always been the most profound demonstration of Intels monopoly because they are tightly integrated products that end users never get to customize deeply. So its really easy for Intel to just "persuade" notebook vendors to only put AMD chips in garbage models, if at all.
I have to bookmark everything.
> And AMD, why now? When Zen is doing great...

Well, last time AMD had an upper hand on the CPU's technical features, they tried taking Intel into a fight and couldn't handle it. Why would the same thing have a different result now?

It is much smarter to not have a full-on direct fight.
Hence, I think, the rise of judging programmers on business outcomes. Revenue increases aren't a great metric for programmers (no one has a damn clue how to quantify tech debt and futureproofing), but at least they aren't actively destructive. Similarly, "story point velocity" and the like aren't tied to anything intrinsic, but at least they can sometimes be used as a predictor of quality.

Meanwhile the history of the field is one of judging programmers on bugs fixed, lines written, commit frequency, or a hundred other standards that are only perverse incentives. Most aren't even Goodhart's law issues, because they weren't predictive before they became targets!
Is this really going to be Intel with AMD GPU, or Intel simply paying to AMD for patents instead of Nvidia, while still making their own GPU?

Somehow I doubt, AMD want to give away their APU competitive advantage to Intel.
Of course I don't think that. But I recognize this move by Google as beneficial to my own goals, namely getting JavaScript off of the web.
Not sure that I would do authentication directly in PG (although it has many different methods [0]), I think it's still doable. You could move whole oAuth to PG through PL/SQL (maybe there is an extension for it?).

I would also encourage to introduce a proxy in between (e.g. pgbouncer [1]) to help you to handle connections and deal with the authentication.

We're using PG as "the brain" of our service since 2014 and it never failed us. The biggest downside is that there are no tools to help to debug or measure the performance of the code you wrote. However once you have functional logic, you can write fairly lightweight application layer around it and change it as often as you want.

You can also scale this setup almost indefinitely thanks to extension like citus [2] and still keep your application layer fairly thin.

> Peterson's claim that only men have high enough motivation to be successful in competitive industries.

Hmm...pretty much everything you claim here is wrong.

First, his is not a claim from first principles or ideology, but an observation from many years working with at least one highly competitive industry: lawyers. So independent of what you want the world to be, this is what he says he observes in reality.

Second, his claim is not about "success". It is about reaching the top of whatever dominance hierarchy you find yourself in. Per definition, only very few people can be in that particular place, and his central argument is that equating these two (your personal success = reaching the top of some dominance hierarchy) is a losing proposition for almost everyone, simply because there isn't enough to go around.

Third, and maybe most importantly, he says that even if you are one of the few people who have the ability/luck/desire to achieve this very dubious form of success, it is almost certainly a losing proposition because it sucks on just about every other metric of having a good life, unless you are psychologically structured in such a way that this alone will make you happy.

Fourth, he notes that women are generally smart enough to figure this out. As are most men. There are a few men who don't, who will subordinate everything else in life to reaching the top of that dominance hierarchy. His claim is that most if not all of these people will not have good life.

And finally, as usual, this says nothing about individuals, but only something about populations. In his case, he says that law firms are doing everything to keep their highly qualified, super smart and highly effective female lawyers, but they can't, because most of them just drop out of that race to the top.

Are you claiming this is not true?
Strong-arming the spec is bad.
> Its interesting that you're calling for a browser to not implement standards

The "standards" are created by the browser makers. It is up to them to decide what the standards are by choosing what to implement.

For instance, Apple can decide to not allow 3rd party cookies, which "breaks the web" and "doesn't follow standards" but it is also the right thing to do.
I don't disagree with your points; I am not quite that up-in-arms just yet.

I think we can all agree that all C++ editors are a complete disaster. The language is too hard to parse and process, noone ever managed to make good tools.

Visual studio and Qt Creator are the least worst IDE. The first one only works on Windows obviously. They are both free so I am not sure why you'd mention pricing issues???

Visual Studio has the best debugger by far, I'd go as far as saying it's the only debugger in existence for C++. If you have money, there is a paid refactoring plugin called Visual Assist X that makes the C++ experience a lot better.
I'm assuming from context that you're referring to lists of very specific, well-known things, such as documents someone might need to bring to an office (form 232, id card, etc.). That's a very specific use case where a checklist is actually the most appropriate device.

Tufte's work is about conveying complex information. The proscription against bullet points is rooted in the fact that most information cannot be effectively written in that manner - only if there is already an unambiguous name for everything in the list will the bullet points be sufficient.

The writing style that favors frequent use of bulleted lists instead of full-sentence descriptions to represent complex ideas leads to small thinking.
As a reference, sure.

Seconding and elaborating on this: If your technique is underperforming, you'll be in a position to find out why instead of just throwing your hands up. You'll be better able to select which technique to use. You'll understand what the parameters mean and be able to select and adjust them in a principled way instead of through trial-and-error. In short, you'll build better models in less time if you understand the underlying theory.

Wait, what? How was I insulting the people working on the software? I am saying they aren't getting the resources they need to do everything they want to do.

I am a developer on a team, too, and I know that sometimes you can't do everything you want because you simply don't have enough time, money, and developers to get it done.

I know it is hard, that is why I was saying it is a company resource issue, not a 'bad developers' issue. Even the best developer in the world can't complete a huge project by themselves in a short amount of time. You need company support, which means ample developers, QA, support, and time.

Using Deep Learning for Single Image Super Resolution
I would love to see open source hardware take off at that level! You do see plenty of projects at the PCB level, which is nice and likely as far as most people will ever need to go. The price point of a small custom PCB is actually very reasonable now and usually easier to buy than rolling your own anymore.

But until you can spin your own silicon with the ease of something like a 3D printer or buy custom low cost/quantity silicon, it doesn't matter what your open source HW design does if you don't have the money or a business to create and distribute it. That's one thing that is very hard to do with something physical and why opensource has worked so well in the software community.

There does seem to be some stuff being done here using FPGAs... But they are still a rather expensive way to go just to drop a custom architecture on for now.

In the meantime, there is still plenty of software work to do to make a truly useful and professional grade opensouce stack that you can develop on the chips we have.

This. At this point anyone with half a brain knows that there is heavy speculation going on and there is a bubble happening. That doesn't automatically mean you're dumb to be investing, or that those who are still investing surely haven't lived through a speculative market bubble before, as the author suggests.

The only real problem is that many people do not understand the risks inherent to speculation and overexpose themselves to losing money they can't afford to lose. Once you buy into the lie that "the price can only ever keep going up", you're setting yourself up for a rude awakening. But if you properly understand the risks and don't overexpose yourself, you can still invest intelligently.
