The act that you don’t see the value in charisma says nothin about whether or not it should trump productivity. I think it’s highly reasonable that it would and maybe obvious that it should.
A microcode update, which simply enables some previously disabled features, that allow you to workaround the problem (ie. by clearing the branch prediction buffer). The hardware is still most definitely vulnerable to both Meltdown and Spectre, and will require software workarounds to hide the problems, which in turn will cause lower performance.
You are correct about my opinion. I have an opinion like everyone else and that does not invalidate my argument.

My opinion is informed by facts such as:

This study is only 20 years of a multicentury phenomena, how do we know what is the "appropriate" amount of nematodes ? Is less than 20 years ago a bad thing or a complete irrelevance ?
> Cache and out of order buffers (speculation) is what is behind latest security issues.

That's one way to look at it. Another is that opaque CPU designs are a big issue (at least for meltdown, which is a bug; spectre is more of a broken design philosophy).
Very interesting!

I'm familiar with dependently typed languages, I thought you might mean something different than semi-manual theorem proving. For instance, writing your program in a particular style that could maximally take advantage of automated SMT solving in LiquidHaskell or something.

The abusive component is where you forget that life isn’t as impressive as it is on shrooms. It gets harder to return to life full of paler colours (or let’s say - you start reacting to the fact, that compared to being a bit high, life isn’t as impressive).

Also don’t forget that there’s next to no studies about long-term (let’s say: microdosing for a month) effect of shrooms.
I don't know about google, but on my first proper job after graduating (the actual first lasted only two months) I was given a coding problem that involved writing a parser. After I got hired in the company I spent about seven months gluing APIs and adding one-liners etc, but in those seven months I once actually had to write a parser (for Tag-Length-Values). And in the seventh month, another engineer had a problem that was almost identical to my interview question- we were all gathered together around their monitor laughing about it.

So I'm guessing, it's not for the everyday stuff that google thinks you need to know how to invert binary trees etc, it's for that one time when you'll really need to do it.

... of course, at that point you can just look up the solution, but I guess they want to make sure you can understand it.
Wire does not need your phone number per se, but the Wire client on phones basically suggests by default to use your phone number as an identifier, if you create your account from your phone. That's a pretty poor way of doing things, especially if you are supposed to guarantee privacy.
That's true. My basic experience as an undergrad at a large research university is that the full-time professors and the TAs just simply didn't care about me. They presumably had the answers I needed when trying to learn new material, but the professors were too busy, and most of the TAs were incapable of communicating anything to me in English.

I was just there to contribute financially to the system, be herded from one lecture hall to another, and just generally stay quiet. Only when I showed interest in graduate school did I get any attention.

I had to teach myself nearly everything, and were it not for the motivation that comes from attending classes, labs and exams with my peers, I could have easily done the whole things independently and remotely.

More to your point about job training, I studied math, which I thoroughly enjoyed, but I use little of it from day to day as a software engineer, and I've forgotten most of it.

How “peeking” at data made psychologists believe in “reverse causality”
I doubt that... there's actually ample land for everyone, we've got entire cities, hell, provinces or states, that are virtually empty. North Dakota for example has 10% of the people of Massachusetts, but 7x the land. That's a roughly 70x difference, we're talking about having say 1000 square feet vs 70.000 square feet of space. There are obvious reasons why one state is more easily suited for living (weather, distance from ports or rivers are lacking in ND), but in the 21st century it's certainly also easily possible to house an order of magnitude more people in ND.

And it isn't even just a discussion about low density states vs high density states. Take one of the highest density states, Massachusetts. Its density is about 800 people per square mile. That's nothing... A square mile is almost 28 million square foot. You're talking about having about 35 thousand square foot, per person, of space.

In fact, here are some images of population density of 100.000 people per square mile, more than 100x more dense than one of the highest density US state averages:

https://ggwash.org/view/42469/what-do-80000-people-in-a-squa...

And here's an interesting article about the amount of space needed to give all 7 billion people on the planet a standard vancouver house+yard lot.

https://vreaa.wordpress.com/2011/12/09/land-not-making-any-m...

Which also cites another calculation on how the entire world population could fit into Texas if it were built as dense as NYC.

The issue isn't really sheer population, it's population distribution. Proximity to other people means proximity to jobs, culture, networks etc. And that means we see small plots of land become extremely scarce and in high-demand, and large plots of land become extremely abundant and in low-demand. You can see this if you look up economic heatmaps of the US, it's pretty insane. Most countries are basically a collection of a few cities where all the money is made and everyone lives. I wouldn't be surprised if cities became the dominant political unit rather than nation states. (not legally, but in practice). I can't find a great image at the moment but this gives an idea: https://cdn.howmuch.net/content/images/1600/where-the-money-...

You've lost me. Why would it take more time to check in your dependencies and have the rest of your team get them out of source control? All the package manager would do would be to download them off the internet to the same location. Might as well only have one guy do that once and be done with it.

You need to archive them somewhere anyway (to mitigate the issue we're discussing here), so why not keep them in the obvious place?

The premise appears to be that using an old, simple, easy-to-verify cpu/architecture makes it harder to embed malware in the nuclear-disarmament-verification code that hostile (or at least somewhat untrusting) states would both need to trust.

> ... as the performance of the inspection system is limited, and data acquisition and processing has to be designed and highly optimized accordingly.

I wonder if any potential exploit/workaround/disarmament-dodging would then just move to a different layer.

That's a limited view. One could very well make it's own class with malloc()/free() in the constructor/destructor, without exposing any pointer like interface. This can be done without reference counting, contrary to what the faq suggests.

the C++ STL takes away the burden of 'hard to implement'. It's definitely hard to do right, but the STL has solved that problem.

As a developer, I'm not so sure about that: I don't use any web and non-native program by choice. In fact, I'm even stricter than that, I can tell you at a distance if a program was written using QML instead of QtWidgets (due to lag and poor behavior) and avoid the first just as I avoid non-native apps.

In fact, unless I'm restricted to a single program I don't have any alternatives to, I'll generally even select programs written in a language I understand and/or prefer.

I have several colleagues that use slightly different metrics, but still pay very close attention to performance and details of the tools they use. Especially if that's something they use for hours over the course of a day.
> But we don’t have the same reaction for “geeks,” or “techbros”. Because our understanding of neurodiversity is painfully lacking, our culture tends to view men as a homogenous category, seeing all men as inheritors of privilege and all men as possessing the masculine traits that foster toughness and resilience.

Back in reality, the stereotypes of male nerds/geeks are:

* not interested in activities that leverage masculine traits, like sports

* not interested in the "rough" and often physically abusive hazing activities that go along with sports

* publicly ridiculed for being socially inept, having a hard time interacting with members of the opposite sex, not grooming in the typical way "tough and resilient" males do

Like any stereotypes those are often wrong. Nevertheless they come with enormous empathy-- most humans I know don't condone adolescents getting choked by bullies and will get sad when you tell them stories about it.

Furthermore-- and I don't think I'm alone in this-- my own empathy gap between my stereotype of male "geeks" and male "techbros" couldn't be any wider. I thought people only referred to each other as ${topic}bros to be ironic, the joke being that anyone who would do that seriously is worthy of derision.

> there's a CISC->RISC translation layer...

More like a mixture of something like CISC->VLIW and CISC->"micro-ops". Remember x86 implementations can actually combine x86 ISA instruction pairs into a micro-op [0].

RISC is just a concept that was a great fit to the constraints the industry had in the nineties. It was great for achieving high clock speeds back then. The constraints are just different nowadays.

Yes, my comment is based on reading essentially all the studies that came out during last few years (since about 2008). I am pretty sure there is a causal relationship, but to prove it is a different task (and one that is not strictly needed for medical approval).

I don't know why this was downvoted. Dweck's claims are the subject of enormous scepticism in the psychology community. Her data is a bit too neat, her effect sizes are consistently stronger than we'd expect, there's a complete lack of replication. It's not being rejected out of hand, but there are a lot of red flags.
In non-Latin text, if most characters are 2 bytes but a large minority are 1 byte, the branch prediction in charge of guessing between the different codepoint representation lengths expects 2 bytes and fails very often.

The GPU of The Brain author seems to be well meaning and nice guy but he don't not understand optics.

The parallel fiber idea is "optically silly" but it takes some understanding of light to prove it is impossible too. It is yet another example of trying to fool people.

Basically you have multiple fibers going in a circle each with their center of origin it becomes impossible to get them to act like a single image for use in near eye optic.

What the layman would not understand is that this is very different from image stitching on a projection screen that in part relies on the light being diffused/randomized by the screen. In the case of near eye optics, there is no way to get the multiple projector image collimated AND seamlessly put together.

It is yet another example of a good con has to seem believable.
The article quotes research which suggests women do better working with people and men do better working with things.

AI and automation will take over the jobs involving things. A quick google search for jobs most likely to be automated https://www.google.com.au/search?q=jobs+most+likely+to+be+au... reveals that people focused jobs are safe.

If that's true, the gender pay gap could be about to reverse, with women being paid on average more than men, since most of the jobs men are good at would be automated. More men would have to stay at home and do housework/raise kids.

I have Asperger's (now known as high functioning autism) and also work as an engineer in a prestigious company. For me, the tech workplace is a pre made social environment that's easy for me to process. Everyone has their role and I can predict what people will do next. I don't do alot of socialising outside of work, but I am married.

I've noticed the higher up you go as a developer, the more developers you run into that have Autistic traits or seem to be Autistic.

I've spotted multiple people in the workplace who I'm sure also have Asperger's, but it would be to risky to bring something like that up with them in that kind of environment.

The UK has an approach which is almost sensible, but ends up being stupid.

Consumers also have rights to make copies in some situations, and those rights need to be protected. So consumers can ask the rights-holders for an exception, and can then go to the secretary of state if the IP holder declines to provide an exception.
