A german friend of mine always used to say:"In any other mission critical profession, if you are a doctor, a craftsman or an airplane engineer, if you fuckup something too badly, you will be forbidden to continue working in your profession for misconduct(atleast in Germany). In our job, people can ruin lives, destroy whole companies and then have that seen as experience on their CV."

As horrifying the idea of career ending bugs sound to me, we probably need to appreciate the fact that there's a level where adding "coders" to the pool is doing more harm then good when we look at what it will do to the understanding of what's "acceptable".
I'm guessing the quality of the program, and pay is better than average.
Yes, Adobe's VoCo, is one example.

If you are running 30 minutes late, you are saying that whatever you did in those 30 minutes is significantly more important than the fact that the other person loses 30 minutes.

Occasionally, that is true. Most often, it is simply a sign that you disrespect the other person.

It's not about being "obsessed with punctuality", it's about realizing that the other person has a schedule that you are impacting as well. And then choosing to not give a damn, in the case of perpetual lateness.
I agree with everything you wrote except that you seem to be implying this is a male thing, when it is equally common for a woman to drop her friends once she is in a stable relationship and to become dependent on her partner for all social interaction (the suddenly codependent girlfriend is something almost all men experience at some point when dating). Later in life it sometimes manifests as an obsession with ones children at the expense of everything else. Suddenly all conversations are about the kids, etc. The phenomenon definitely applies equally to men and women.
Websites are at least supposedly are sandboxed so they are not as much of a risk as running native binaries. But this is getting worse and worse though as browsers expose more and more of their host operating system's functionality. The benefits of using a website instead of a native app are quickly disappearing, while the drawbacks have only been somewhat mitigated. We're getting to the point where browsers are worthy of the decades old criticism Emacs has received. They have eventually become an OS with many fine features - simply lacking a good web browser. For the privacy conscious user, modern web technologies will undermine you every step of the way, or simply break if you choose to stand your ground.
I think you're rather putting it on a pedestal. for the truck-driving contingent of haskell programmers such as myself, i assure you i'm not interested in theory much and simply enjoy haskell as a 'better java'.

I don't doubt that some people experience hard to explain sounds. I do doubt that any of the sensational headlines in those videos were written by people who were prepared to consider reasonable explanations. Unfortunately, they were the only people there to look down/around to see if something obvious was making the sound instead of some ethereal oscillator.

We only have their word to go by, and it's not much use given their leaning toward supernatural and conspiracy.
There's an old saying: "A conservative under 30 has no heart. A liberal over 30 has no brain."

Well, this is kind of unexpected, but "highly secure" environments surely won't be running containers on the default bridge without any of the capabilities configured.
It's so hard to judge the scale of the thing. How far away is it from the rover? Does anyone know the approximate dimensions?
As a teacher who has worked with homeschooled children but not been homeschooled myself or been a homeschooling parent, I can assure you that you are grossly misjudging here with very little perspective.

You don't know what you're talking about, you're just speculating.

The kids I worked with went to specialized classes anywhere from 1 to 4 days a week (where I taught them), had a network of active social relationships, participated in local sports clubs, and were also able to avoid some of the pitfalls of traditional schooling. They learned from some of the best teachers around for the subjects their parents didn't feel comfortable with. They were commonly more well-adjusted people than most. They are people you wouldn't guess were homeschooled and they went off to standard (and sometimes elite) colleges. You may know a lot more homeschooled people than you realize.

I also saw some real problem kids where parents were not doing the necessary things to give the kids space, independence, and proper socialization. In my case, that was the exception but obviously I didn't get to see any of the kids who are so isolated that they wouldn't have come to the out-of-home classes where I was a teacher.

To assume that homeschooling means the kids never get out in the world, don't have friends and social interactions and are just cooped up inside just shows you have no understanding of what homeschooling is like (in that it varies widely). Just like all other forms of schooling, it can be done wonderfully and done terribly.

You have no understanding of what the case is for this particular parent.
>Its like Pinker is looking at a stock chart in a bubble

Having looked at a few stock charts of bubbles it's not like that - the bubble charts you chose a decade or two out of the 200+ year of stock trading and think that's how it will continue. Pinker's analysis is much more like that in Stocks for the Long Run where you look at all available data and figure stocks have averaged like 7% over the 200 years. It doesn't prove it will continue but is quite a fair representation of what has happened so far.
> Why is delivering ads such a big problem that we're spending so many resources and so much effort on it?

Showing ads isn't really that difficult of a problem, especially on tablets which have built in video players.

> You pay $50 for that kindle and save some money, but don't fool yourself into thinking it's not costing you -- really use as a civilization -- a lot more.

Isn't it bit presumptuous/egotistic to assume that you're a more accurate judge when it comes to the value of not seeing ads for a given consumer than them themselves?
These numbers are not really that different than many underserved communities just this school’s spotlight in the media makes all of this seem shocking. Also let’s just be real here about the reality of future prospects among most people here in the U.S. but even more specifically the kids in the article- many of them know it just doesn’t matter. Not so much that things are desperate or hopeless but the goal at the end may not seem that great so they opt to enjoy their lives in that moment. I’m afraid still this played out scapegoating is the reason collectively everyone will look at a situation like this and think “Well this is why we can’t find super high achieving versions of these kids”. No, they exist and also there are plenty of other situations worse than this and different groups of people involved as well. The solution is actually really simple- stop pretending to be very inclusive while actually being very exclusive. Demonstrate how education can lead to a fulfilling life to these kids. Not speeches or abstract situations but real living examples, people they grew up around, etc.. Really you can only tell yourself so much that your “paving the road” to help people that come after you until the realization sets in this will be as far they let me go and everyone like me too. Just wait a few more years like this and we will see all sorts of people “gaming” all sorts of “systems”.

That's exactly what they are doing with Instant Apps, they just try different strategies to control the web more at the same time.
That's a fine way to live, but OP is about life after 30, when most people tend to pair off into marriages and flirty is more frowned upon.
I think you can make very good friends at any age. But

1. I have very old friends with a lot of, let's call it "weaknesses". Our friendship is "grandfathered" but if I meet new people I don't tolerate such things anymore.

2. Sometimes you meet an interesting person and would like to hang out more but things don't develop. This person never has time etc. You can also maintain only a limited amount of friends.
Why? Babies and hobbies, drug abuse and work addiction. That's about most of it.

I don't think "rude and inconsiderate" are the problem for most people. My wife, for example, is often late to social things. But she's also one of the most thoughtful people I know. In a lot of cases, her thoughtfulness is what makes her late, because we can't show up without a gift or something like that.

That's just her situation, but I think there's generally something larger at play. Something more like people feeling the need to squeeze the most time out of whatever they're doing right now, even knowing in the back of their mind that they're stealing from the next thing. I think it takes a certain amount of unnatural discipline to think of the current thing and the next thing as time-equal.
If their base pay is just above the poverty level, not really.

There is not some mass of people out there clamoring to be teachers. The only ones teaching are the ones who will submit themselves to humiliation and abuse and work 80 hour weeks for the reward of barely reaching a middle class existence. Then they get told they will lose their job unless they pass people they know they shouldn't, and are routinely told that tests that students aced 10 years ago are so difficult the students can no longer pass.

I agree that teachers should not put up with the charade, but it's totally unfair to put teachers' livelihoods at risk just because parents refuse to accept any responsibility and administrators cow down to political pressure.
looks to me like a larger version of that porous looking big rock on the left
Great post. So many things you wrote are so correct about human interaction in a city.

The point is that you are actually meeting the pharmacist. You're there every week. That's an opportunity.

Say you wanted to talk to him more, I would not be trying to act like more of a customer by talking about medical conditions, I would be talking about things he might be interested in, or mention something else that I'm interested in, or something that anybody might be interested in (weather/current news/sporting event), or something related to the current situation. Or even just throw something out there - "you look like you might know about <certain thing>, my mom has one and was just asking me about it". Even if you're wrong they'll be interested in why you might think that about them which can move onto other subjects. "You remind me of <such-and-such person>". "Hey, you remind me of my dad, what's a good present to get someone like you?". Use your imagination and you can come up with a million of these.

You could even just volunteer something about your life. "Nice day today, I'm in a good mood because I'm going on a trip away soon". If he's interested in talking he'll continue. Most people who are working boring jobs will want to chat with a customer that isn't annoying.

I think it depends on what you want to happen in the end. Do you want to meet this pharmacist out as a friend or more, or do you just want more small talk?

Small talk is, by definition, impersonal. If you want the relationship to be personal, you need to transition from small talk. Either find a common interest or show interest in his interests.

TBH I find small talk pretty irritating and mostly enjoy being impersonal in the city. There's too many people to be friends with everyone, and I don't have time for many friends as it is. "How are you?" - "I'm good thanks"!

Mostly when I do make the effort to chat, people are receptive.
but if you want a normed ring division algebra you must stop at 8 dimensions.
That's a common form of homo-phobia (phobia as in fear, not as in hate). It's the attitude I see in people insecure about their own sexuality, who see a problem where there is none.

I think understanding SemVer would help a long way.
I was going to say that. A "hack, essentially bought by conservative/libertarian interests" is completely out of line with the impression I got reading his stuff.
Do you want 50% of a company with sales or 100% of a company with no sales.

How many times does the inferior product with better marketing win? The reality is a lot.
Though no one has done it yet, Alan Kay is convinced a modest Spacewar could be built cheap: “You can do motion with a couple of integrators. Heathkit has this l6-integrator analogue computer you can build as a kit for 700 bucks or something like that. You have to have two layers of integrators to get an inverse-square law, so you should be able to get gravity and orbits with that one. To make spaceship outlines and explosion patterns you need a few bits of digital memory. Two chips worth of register file should do it. I think electronics stores may carry the chips.

Funny that Atari's first game Computer Space was developed the year before the article went to press, with an old black-and-white TV and some cascading digital counter chips, similar to how PONG would later simulate ball motion. And the spaceship outlines were literally outlined on the circuit board with diodes: http://www.masswerk.at/rc2017/04/images/e02-computerspace-di...
Perversely, in some very homophobic cultures, men hold hands with men because they are so homophobic that there is not even an insinuation that they might be willing to publicly show homosexual inclinations, so handholding is assumed platonic.
I am not even sure how one can have a consumer level quantum computer (e.g. desktop, laptop, mobile device) at all. The physics behind a quantum computer doesn't seem to allow such consumer devices ever possible for a true QC. Our surrounding is full of interference. Of course, never say never right? I am just skeptical I guess.
Yep, I'd rather take the person who says "I've never worked with Elm but I've heard it does X, Y, and Z well because those are things I've always found lacking in [insert JS framework here]" or even "I've never heard of Elm, but based on your description it sounds like it might mitigate X, Y, and Z problems because of [reasons], cool!"; over the person who says they've used Elm before but gives vague answers to follow-up questions (even if they aren't lying and have actually used it).

Especially high school math can be gamed effectively. For "word problems" you can drill students to look for keywords and they will arrive at the right result without understanding the problem.

My wife teaches at a 4-year state school and tells me that one of her students did just that, she looked for plausible keywords but then didn't know what to do next, this was chemistry, not math.

Reading comprehension is harder to game.
Meetup.com often covers this as an activity, though your results may vary. Best to find someone likeminded over a niche meetup, befriend them then have drinks after that.
It's not that hard to think about how to game that and the culture and incentives that will develop outside of very limited utopian circumstances.

The logical outcome is that the biggest parasites will look to attach themselves to the biggest flows of money with low levels of elasticity relative to their input.

And they will do whatever they can through side-channel methods and attacks, whether it be destructive to other employees or the company itself, to stop others getting into the position, including navigating/manipulating the hierarchy to maximize flows through them.

Half of finance/executive remuneration is literally built around that strategy (manage big flows of money unrelated to your personal input), and I'd guess a huge number of toxic companies and employees are directly attributable to people who believe they've successfully implemented that incentive scheme.
That's just the ennui of growing up and realizing that there's no such thing as the real world. Some people never recover from that disillusionment.
Others mentioned this already, but look into home-school co-ops and other networks. If you're lucky, you'll find a situation where you can teach programming and/or music and have someone else with other expertise teach your kids (these can be in larger classes that meet at some community space or different homes). Although the teaching will take some extra energy, the times that the kid(s) are with other teachers are times you can do other things, and that sort of networking will get you more support network, leads to income sources, and help your kids get socialized more etc.

Just one thought. I don't have much suggestions about best income options for you.
I care about a few of those, though none have granted me friends as of late. Did make a couple with non-fiction book discussion and dating though.
I think it's hard to consider at this moment, but I'm sure this is something they'll at least investigate and consider. The ad industry is cutthroat, and if this gave them anyone an edge, you can bet all of them will follow suit in time.
50g is still high. Most people in low-carb communities talk about "low carb" as being under 20 grams per day.
A friend of mine moved from the East Coast to teach college in Idaho, and he made the comment that punctuality just wasn't a thing out that way. He's a historian, and he surmised that it was because Idaho never had its society fundamentally altered by industrialization and the time-keeping it required.

But yeah, I try not to get hung up on other folks' timeliness, unless there's going to be a knock-on effect. I know shit happens. I bring a book so I can put my time to good use if I have to wait. An obsession with punctuality in and of itself might be a sign that a person is optimizing what's measured rather than what's actually important.
I can't name specific companies because I don't want to violate their privacy. I will say that just in the last few weeks, I can think of one instance where I asked a few questions over email and the answers made me realize that a company wouldn't be a good fit (so they "wasted" time on the email but "saved" time from a 2nd meeting that would've led to a pass). And another instance where I asked a few questions and got really excited by the depth and clarity of the founder's answers. My fund is still talking to this second company, but I am even more excited about investing than before.

I can empathize with founders at least somewhat because funds have to raise money too. Our first fund required 100+ investor meetings, took about 8-10 months to close, and consisted of a lot of small checks. So I do know what a slog fundraising can be, how frustrating investor signals and behavior can be, how hard it is to change someone's mind if they have a strong bias, etc.

> So what you read as a simple e-mail response may realistically have been half a day of lost fundraising productivity, for, at best, a 10% chance they convert your gut-feeling "maybe" to a "yes."

I hope it's not half a day =(. I do have a different framing of time spent though: if you can invest 30 minutes (or even half a day) into an email that has a 10% chance of converting a Maybe to a Yes, then that's very worth it. If you talk to 10 funds like mine that all write $750k checks, then spending 30 minutes x 10 funds to get a $750k commitment means your time is earning $150k/hour. Even if it's half a day instead of 30 minutes -- and I hope it's not -- that's ~$20k/hour. That's a great ROI when you might be trying to raise $1m or $3m.

Interestingly the password "BAAAD" would generate 3 requests to the logging server, since it wouldn't request the background image for the letter "A" more than one time. Or shouldn't, anyway.
This could be used to, e.g., rewrite existing object code to use retpolines, no? This seems very interesting.

EDIT: Other ideas might be to insert trace points. Something like that is mentioned on the github page. Another idea might be to convert from not-PIC to PIC (they have the opposite implemented), relink, etc...

I move the copy link into a clipboard button next to the url (like Github's "clipboard" button next to URLs), and make the remainder of the links prominent buttons. I would also avoid taking users to a separate page when clicking any of them; rather, open a "sub view" below the url (eg a nested list).

If you have less-often-used actions, you could also add a "..." menu on the right side, or next to the buttons.

Try it against articles.hsreplay.net and look at all the URLs it ends up checking against, you'll see what I mean. It didn't end up spidering all of hsreplay.net, but it did go through a ton of it.
