I feel sad reading the emotional pain that Musk goes through and a part of me wants him to find peace and happiness. But a bigger part of me hopes Musk never resolves this internal struggle, as I believe it is a major contributing factor to his professional successes, and may have a lasting positive effect on the future of humanity.

Considering some of the loudest voices on the strong to far left today are self avowed Marxists, especially in labor movements, I don't think it's even a stretch or "throwing around terms". In fact, 'social justice' is a term directly attributed to the philosophies of Karl Marx.

I'm not an extremest on the other end, but it is not disingenuous to state that much of the left's visions are directly "Marxist". What would you call the idea of a "base livable wage" or "equity over equality"?
I would be interested to know what those design lessons are. Is there a writeup of that somewhere?
That is a new idea, thanks! I was suspecting pesticides or similar, since my allergy is highly batch-dependant and there have been less and less occurrences over time.
Andrew Ng about Deep Learning
I have never tried real time collaboration. What scenarios are there when you need real time collab. I know technical interviewers prefer this. Do you think it causes distraction when you have 2 people writing code on a same file. I would rather one finish and then do my stuff.
To be fair, a lot of the process you mention is fully automated so to the user it's just a few clicks. Not quite as laborious.
VS Code is certainly neat, but with the rush to cram everything into it, it's starting to feel more like emacs than vi.
You arguably have a point (so does the parent), but this isn’t the way to express it in a respectful discussion.

Yes, many homeowners have all or a large part of the mortgage at a rate adjusted several times per year. Right now these variable rates are around 2%. So a lot of people will see their interest rate expenses double if (when) rates normalize at say 4%.

I have my mortgage split between 5year fixed, 2 year fixed and the 3month rate, in order to limit my exposure to variations somewhat.

The general consensus is long fixed mortgages are a poor economic choice for those that have the economic margins to be on the variable rates, since the banks margins are so much higher.
If I buy a house for 50k and want to immediately move laterally to another house worth 50k then the cost is 0 + overhead. If I buy a house for 50k and want to move laterally when it's worth 100k then the cost is the taxes of the 50k profit + overhead.

This gets even worse if you want to buy a larger house (if appreciation is percentage based).
You're making a stretch, here. The difference between 100 to 500 or 1000 is exponentially different than the difference of 100 to 3,700. They don't need this many people. Period. This is a "who's dick is bigger" contest over a thinly veiled (and absurd) justification of infrastructure. No one outside of this bubble buys this shit. There are global supply-chain networks that move millions of products, and they don't employ as much as a micro-blogging platform. Come on, now.
If your house didn't appreciate you would not have any profits either. Very confused on what the issue is.

Let's say your house is 1mn and stays 1mn. You have zero gains and pay zero taxes. Net cash in your bank = ZERO

Now your house becomes 2mn. So you have 1mn profit, first 500K is exempt. And you pay 25% on your next 500k. Net cash = 750K.

Are you suggesting that you would rather have zero dollars in your bank account than 750 K?

When it comes to GL vs. GH, right now, speed is also a factor
- try to fork a large project on GH and on GL; the last time I did, I was worried that I triggered a bug on GL, given how long it was taking. I speculate GL will have significant hurdles, since they work in the cloud (GH is on metal, and the reason a lead engineer gave me is speed), and they may have troubles scaling while containing expenses.

I also doubt that there are so many companies with large projects on GH and small, "wildcat" projects on GL - GH dwarfs GL for hosted services.

If and when mass migrations will be a concern, GH will surely have the tooling ready.

Pointy hairs are not really relevant, since they may take any decision (even the opposite) for any whim.

I can't agree though. I believe using that rationale same could be said about C and many other languages...If that's the case then, should we expect a "fix" for the master programmers (i.e. Go++)? Let's hope that won't happen. Go is nothing like PHP. It was an attempt to modernise C though I believe it failed because Go can't do realtime.

I still miss Classic Theme Restorer, but the main reason I used it was to bring back the old FF menu button, as I refused to use the weird "bag of squares" menu that seemed to come out of nowhere.

The first supposed "lie" here isn't even mentioned. I guess the criticism fits an (unmentioned) statement that the government is trying to improve cybersecurity. But while I have heard that in general terms, I don't remember it coming up in the crypto debate–and would be surprised, considering I can't think of the logic that would connect the two.

The second supposed "lie" is possibly the closest to reality. Although there are plenty of people who would agree that there is something of a difference between "not encrypted" and "encrypted, but the NSA has a a separate key that can decrypt it". Like everyone who thinks TLS isn't completely broken.

The third is simply a conspiracy theory. Don't be surprised if the press, and anybody who isn't already on your side, laughs at you if show up with an argument about how it's all a plan by the NSA/Congress/Disney to control money/brains/Hitler's secret moon base.

Packaging such weak arguments in the language of "lies" weakens your position if you're trying to defend the public's right to strong encryption. Because people will focus on your assumptions that they know to be wrong, such as the government being on some super-secret mission to get your bitcoin or whatever. And they will extrapolate from there.

Instead, start from shared assumption, and build good will, before making actual, strong arguments. One such basis would be acknowledging that, yes, some hypothetical, completely ethical, FBI agent may today have a harder time, because where they would previously find lots of incriminating documents in nicely labelled binders, today a search may often just result in an USB stick with binary gibberish.

Once you've build some rapport, this would be a real argument: I don't trust judicial oversight, because it has been abused too often by, for example, the FISA court and national security letters. Moreover, the government's surveillance powers were previously limited in two less-excplicit ways than judicial oversight, namely the costs and manpower involved with physically searching a place, and surveilling people, as well the nature of such actions as being publicly visible. But these safeguards do not apply to electronic surveillance, making it too likely that such powers will be used in massive operations without probable cause.

Of course it does. A loss is a loss. It doesn't matter whether it comes out of your checking account or your home equity.

That's generally not an option if you want to move locally.
See my other comments for how your allegation is baseless. From my perspective, so many "progressives" don't know the history of their own adopted philosophies (or previously attempted applications of them) to be able to properly categorize their origins in Marxism.

Also nice: Websites tended to keep evolving with the browsing skills of the client/sponsor. Say, a site started out complying to the usual rules regarding opening external links in external windows. Everything is fine. A few months later, the client is on the phone, "Where is my back button?" – After a few enquiries you find out it's about the external links and that the client had finally learned about the back-button. You try to explain, but to no avail. All external links in the site are to be edited so they will open in the frameset to the comfort of the client, who may now click each of the external links and go back by a single click on the back-button while proudly inspecting her website. A few months later, the client learns about the usual use of external links and possible legal implications. The links are reedited again...
In my experience this was true a few years ago but they work perfectly in current versions of Chrome.
That's exactly how I felt reading that site. "See this other image? It sucks" ... It does? OK, I can see some differences in filtering I guess.

And it stands to reason that PS would be willing to do better downsampling (in the frequency space maybe using an FFT, or with some fancy kernel in the spacial domain) where a browser is probably just going to use a box filter, or have the GPU do it using whatever mipmap generator they provide.

But so what? If you have a site that cares about sampling at that level, you're never going to be happy letting someone else scale your precious pixels. Do it yourself.
The article said that they aren't actually sure that it is temperate. It might be - or it might be as cold as -60 C.
The only thing that article tells me is that if I want to know anything about this I need to read the paper. I think it's an interesting subject and they could have made a good article but this is just lazy reporting.
> Your model, by contrast, doesn’t seem to represent why that dark alley is dangerous. Because you only care about the raw crime count rather than the crime count per time interacted with. It would equally imply that the stranger in the alley is no risk to you, because “if a crime happens at all, it will be from a family member

Actually that's not my model; I'm not the OP. I was just pointing out what I saw as a flaw in your presentation. Y

You keep talking about things like "unit of interaction" - which is a handy thing to talk about in the abstract, but gives the impression that you've actually quantified human interaction - a concept I am highly skeptical of.

I can see that there is a reasoning flaw in looking at crime that has happened and seeing that it mostly happens between people who know each other and concluding that the greatest risk to yourself is from people you know.

One possible explanation that has nothing to do with "interaction time" is simply the fact that you apply more countermeasures to strangers than you do to people you know. Perhaps the real cause is a matter of trust, not time.
is a gc all that relevant if you're not dynamically allocating in either case?
This has been repeated ad nauseum but if it were correct all businesses would always strive to buy their real estate as soon as they could afford it and since many (including my employer, who brings in a billion dollars a year) are content renting long term, that's obviously not the case.

If you buy once you factor in taxes, insurance, upgrades, maintenance, repairs, commission, closing costs, opportunity costs compared to other investments, interest, PMI, etc., assuming you were in a good financial position to buy in the first place so you don't default, you probably will come out ahead compared to renting if you live in your house for more than 5 or so years.

But! That's only if the cards fall just right. So if the neighborhood is still desirable, tax policy/political landscape doesn't change, your neighbors keep up with their maintenance, your HoA doesn't go into bankruptcy, a major employer doesn't leave town, tastes in housing doesn't change, the housing market doesn't crash, too many of your neighbors don't foreclose, nearby amenities don't leave, a major highway isn't built through your neighborhood, interest rates haven't soared, political housing incentives/programs haven't gone away, too many black people don't move in(1), etc., etc. You're taking on a very large risk if your buying vs renting, sure it has the ability to work in your favor (extreme example - buying in San Francisco in the 90s) or not in your favor (extreme example - buying in Detroit in the 50s).

I've seen people lose out terribly financially buying a house, and not just in 2008 recession, my parents house was bought in 1995 and hasn't even kept up with inflation. That doesn't mean it was the wrong choice for them to buy though, houses are really good at providing shelter.

You also have to have the ability and wherewithal to take care of a house - and tons of people don't.

I'm a homeowner, I'm not against home ownership.

Self-defeating definition. Inflation is generalized prices increases. It stops being generalized if you pick an asset type.

Tweets are news now? Really.

Anyway. I run a largeish software team and we have a mix of very experienced devs along with some newer devs who definitely have holes in their skills. We run training in certain areas with the goal of upskilling the team. Especially for security and secure coding practices which aren't taught in universities. There's also a lot of training around good engineering practices and the like. I'm pretty sure most software companies are the same.

Yes, the industry does not train people from absolute scratch like apprentice schemes do. It's very reliant on universities. But I don't see legions of unemployed students: they do get jobs and companies do take over their training to bring them from basic to advanced.

FF57 has a relatively small amount of Rust (~160k lines of C++ replaced with ~80k lines of 10x faster Rust). Chrome is "pure" C++, though.

More content processes wouldn't do much difference. It doesn't reduce the attack surface (potentially increasing it due to complexity), but only reduce amount of data per process in case you gain read-only access to its memory (which I can't currently think of as being an interesting attack).

I would imagine that more content processes is about stability, rather than security. However, splitting larger processes into smaller ones can yield great benefit on the security front.

EDIT: FF57 defaults to four content processes.
So how long would it take to get there with current technology?

The "Lab Notebook" was once an important legal document: it showed the date of invention for US Patents. Several years ago, the United States moved to "First to File" in determining the date of invention, and so much of the legal need for notebooks vanished.

That said, there are specific notebook tricks every developer should know:
1. Write the date and subject neatly in the upper corner. For some reason, this makes your writing on the rest of the page significantly cleaner.
2. Use your notebook instead of scratch paper whenever possible. I often find myself looking for a scribbled package name or search term that I remember when I had the problem without remembering the incantation.
3. Use detailed bug logs occasionally. That is, keep a list all programming errors with tally marks or a list of minutes spent. Usually, your repeated, trivial errors will disappear over a few sessions.

Notebooks can be of real value to you. Pulling out electronics in a meeting disrupts exactly like paper does not; you appear more organized because you are; and it can be habit that builds in fits and starts and lost notebooks. The real downside is that a notebook increases your workload as follow-ups and investigations are remembered.
People/companies go to GitHub to be social. It's the Facebook of computer code. That's why all the big players are there, so they can share/market themselves. It's also where a lot of programmers put their code so they can show it for interviews. That's why there are so many public repositories there.
I suspect that UBI, or something similar, will be necessary when automation/AI/whatever-you-like is good enough to replace "front-end", customer-facing jobs. At that point, it'll be hard to break into the job market without having a degree in something, and there'll be a sharp spike of unemployment in the lower class.

"I merely posit religion as being the source of humanity's prudishness (something the rest of nature does not share)."

Nature as a whole may not, but there are species even more monogamous than we are out there. I've sort of played a game of "construct an even remotely sensible sexual strategy no species uses" and so far I've come up empty; everything you can think of, including the closest equivalent to "prudishness", is used out there.

On that note, the "missing link" for you is probably that sex and reproduction are inextricably linked for all non-humans, and for all humans up until very recently. Hangups about sex are not hangups about sex; to put it in quite atheistic terms, they are hangups about whose selfish genes get to win out over whose. Start looking at it that way and it makes a lot more sense than your current model, probably.

Our current reproductive strategies are currently in total chaos because of the extremely recent introduction of effective birth control and I see little reason to believe that we have found the best response to that in what is still effectively just one generation, nor that our current responses will be stable over the generations, because the shock is simply too recent in generational terms. (Not to mention all the near-in-generational-term shocks that may be yet to come, including but not limited to: Effective male-directed birth control, effective sex robots for males, technology to permit cloning without loss, technology to edit genes in eggs or sperm, technology to permit taking children to term out of a biological womb, and in the craziest case, technology to completely digitize people and make biology essentially irrelevant.) In particular, it does not seem particularly clear to me that the idea that "sex is 100% just sex and nobody should be ashamed about anything as long as it is consensual" is going to win out, because that crowd tends to use birth control of one form or another, and therefore, in the next several generations can be expected to be bred out. By some definitions of morality it may well be moral, but it won't be stable.
Usual rational at that time was to not go beyond 40K, if possible. So 64K was rather "fat".
