> You are being fooled. Those meals and buses are to keep you at work. Anything other than cash only ties you more tightly to the company. Demand money, not better snacks at the company store.

I'm not being fooled. I totally understand the company's goal is to get more work out of me, but they are doing that in ways that make my life better, too. It's one of those situations where both parties to a trade come out better..

the food is really good, which means I don't waste time going across town (one of the unfortunate realities of most of silicon valley is that the homes, the food, and the offices almost always require driving to get between) - and dinner? well, again, I could drive more, or I could prepare food myself. Both are things I don't enjoy, that take a lot of time and that I'm not very good at. Employer provided food solve that problem, and saves me significant time. If they want some of that saved time? it still seems win win to me.

My employer providing good food makes my food situation almost as good as it would be if I lived in a real city with a good mix of offices and restaurants, and it gives me that without making me leave silicon valley (which has cultural and career conditions that suit me better than I think moving to new york would.)

The upshot is that if I get a job around here that doesn't give me three squares, I've gotta schedule another hour or so of effort into my day; effort that is as hard, for me as work, but where I'm not advancing my career or studying something I want to learn. Yes, my employer benefits a lot from giving me food... but I benefit, too.

The acknowledgment that task switching is difficult when fully immersed in an existing focus that requires creative thinking has been an area of conflicting points of view in my current position as a developer, especially since I tend to play project manager and business analyst consistently in my projects. The tasks individually may not always seem that difficult from the surface, but they always seem to require the necessary attention to ensure they are resolved efficiently and effectively, which can be difficult when you’re trying to orchestrate everything while trying to make sure that one piece specifically is executed properly. I’ve been told that’s just how things go and there’s no getting around it so I’ve been forced to adopt my own strategies. My constant insistence that there are times that I will be working on one thing and nothing else unless the sky is falling has helped to a point, although the way this has often been executed results in me pulling an all-nighter so that I can focus without distractions. Reviewing my time sheets will show adjoining 16-19 hour days when I’m working on a large project just due to the fact that I’ve built up inertia and I know that may not last once a client issue comes up or a new project comes down the pipeline. It’s not all bad though and I somewhat seem to thrive to be honest. I think a lot of it just comes down to how you’re wired and having an employer that is able to sympathize with you.
Execution occurs with two registers, Code Segment and Instruction Pointer. Normally, you use other operation codes (JMP, CALL, etc) because they will take into account modifying IP or CS:IP, as appropriate. It would be a really odd situation where you would change the CS, not update IP, and have the proper alignment where it can execute the next instruction. Normally, all of that is computed by the compiler/linker and executed with proper operation codes.

The 8086 is a weird beast where the memory access is two 16 bit values mapped to 20 bits (ie. 1 megabyte into overlapping 64k blocks offset by 16 bytes each time). It was easier to write code staying inside a single segment, so chunks of code were often written staying inside one. Nothing particularly useful comes to mind just updating CS; but, my assembly days were a long time ago.

Better support? Open Hardware means Open Hardware, and nothing more - you get the access to the schematics, documentation, sometimes also right to produce similar devices by yourself. You can expect greater hackability, definitely, but "Open Hardware" sticker means nothing in terms of support or reliability. It might be better, it might be worse, you can't tell.

The price in such projects is directly related to the production scale. How many EX3s, Spyders and ColorHugs have been produced? Open Hardware projects (especially the equivalents of already available non-free devices) are often costlier because it initially attracts only the people who really care about its hackability, which makes the yields low, which makes the prices high, which further strengthens that relation, and the circle is closed.

With userbase kept small, most users usually keep the firmware/software support just right enough to scratch their own itches.

Please remember that hardware is not software, and open hardware comes with completely different set of challenges than free (open) software and when it comes to hardware, you often really need to pay extra for the freedom - not just with your time, like we were used to with early FLOSS, but also with your money. If you choose a project because of its "Open Hardware" sticker, it's really more than likely that it will be costlier and it will be rough at edges, because it's usually harder to roll with such projects than with closed competitors and the ROIs are usually way smaller too. That's just how it is and there's nothing surprising about it; if you care about openness, you have to accept it, otherwise it will never get better.

The whole value comparison thing is weird because rules are not always made to gain net positive value. Because if they did then stuff like Universal healthcare will never happen.

Secondly, businesses are a complex beast. It's not a simple debit/credit and there are tons of different schedules which run simultaneously. It is easy to get lost - whether it is customer's or the business' own money. So, every business run audits and reviews. Banks more so because they have other people's money. The only difference is whether they have legally mandated to share the findings and take corrective action.

Kind of a weird letter this year. No discussions of the performance of their individual businesses. Some uncharacteristically clunky writing (misallocating debt might be a mistake, but it wouldn't be fallacious). The biggest public policy event to impact the world of finance in a decade --- the tax code change --- gets, like, 2 paragraphs. Major Berkshire events, like IBM, aren't remarked on at all.

I've always liked toying with the idea (in my own head, not an astrophysicist) that space is cyclical, or in your words, recursive.

I love animations where it zooms out farther and farther into space, until it gets to the point where galaxies start to resemble molecular structures.

And then of course The Simpson's did a couch gag where exactly this happens and they zoom out and out into space until it finally zooms out of Homer's own head.

No, that's unlikely. But it does mean that independent verification is difficult, if not impossible, given that we don't have their implementation or working data set.

The larger issue is how do we get universities incentives to produce practical innovation.

Currently, there are a number of different institutional frameworks for trying to deal with the issue. Most of them don't work well. We have university patents + tech transfer offices. We have obligated NIH patent holding + licensing available to third parties for NIH sponsored innovations. We have government funded 'incubator'-like institutions with wide or narrow research scopes, etc.

Patents overall are an attempt at a solution for a larger problem - how do we allocate rewards to innovators. Our main model for doing so, academically, is to try and fail to create transparent funding flows to finance enlightenment-style aristocratic researchers (with labs, equipment, staff, etc). We do this in a manner that avoids accusations that they are receiving privileged patronage while also paying lip service to the idea that free-riders, extra-territorial or not, should contribute to the effort.

But note that we're trying to do different things with this one tool - and attempts to fix it in one area often result in breaking it in another. The entire system is just kludge upon kludge because of this.

It’s axiomatically true to a broad and well-organized segment of the San Francisco polity that multifamily residential development is an unqualified evil: accelerations gentrification, ruins the aesthetics, worsens traffic, tightens the parking situation, etc. The reasons they give are sometimes absurd because the particular reasons to oppose a project don’t matter. It’s development - in particular, residential development in the Mission - therefore it must be stopped by any means necessary.
I haven't looked at this or the haskell arxiv pdf but as an enthusiast in CS, math and physics, I'm wondering if any physicist can compare this form of physics to the "rational mechanics" program started by Truesdell in the 50s and 60s. It never gained mainstream acceptance but the idea sounded good: to axiomatize classical mechanics and make it more of a mathematically rigorous discipline.

Wouldn't the aliens just need to wait for the black hole to evaporate in order to escape? We're talking a long time, but still possible? If it was planned just right, perhaps they could make it so they emerge in the new Universe.

Also, isn't the assumption that there is a "big crunch" (also a good name for a cereal if it doesn't exist)? We're not sure whether there is a big crunch or heat death? This still seems plausible whether there is a big crunch or heat death - either way a black hole may be the only way for a civilization to stay alive at "the end".
> Thats what you want to believe, but the money they get to spend on the audit all came from customers, they didnt come from the pockets of management. So if you want to believe the money was not taken from customers in this instance, it was in another instance, and now the problem of analysis expands into other areas.

> Regulations affect company profits in a different variety of circumstances: it depends on the elasticity of the supply. If you put a regulation on ALL banks, then there is no chance in supply, meaning that the consumer bears the entire cost of regulation.

I think that's a fair expansion of scope, but something unmentioned here is that customers are not uniform in benefits received. Paying for the regulation ends up a bit like paying for insurance here - you may pay more this year, but it can save you against anything catastrophic.

> Remember how they just made it costly to have an account with little money with the bank?

Not at all banks by any means. Different banks offer different perks and spread around the cost differently, turning knobs like interest, fees, service quality, etc. There are still a good deal of options in the sector.

This has divulged a bit, though in interesting ways, so not without reason, but which claim is false specifically?
Enpass, password manager that lets you sync over various cloud accounts
The monopoly telecoms get tons of money from the government. The point of the regulations is to protect the taxpayer's money that they are using in the name of "narrowing the digital divide". They have always been doing a poor job at narrowing the divide, why assume we can trust a for-profit organization to do the right thing on their own? I doubt that increased competition will create enough profit for these monopoly telecoms to move into sparsely populated, lower income areas of America.

There is a TODO in there to calculate the timestamp based on the tweet id rather than digging through the tweet iframe after it loads. If someone wants to submit a pull request for that it should speed things up tremendously. Bitwise manipulations in JS are annoying though so I haven't bothered.
Enpass can sync with cloud accounts of your choice: gdrive, onedrive, icloud, dropbox and your own webdav.
It also supports TOTP even though I don't like the idea of storing TOTP in the same place with the password.
I've been using Stator[0] which uses a global JavaScript object with get(), set(), and connectComponentState() methods that selectively call setState() on components that connect to the global state.

It has worked really well for me on a 5k+ LOC frontend to gdb called gdbgui[1]. It's performant, but perhaps more importantly, it matches my mental model of how the code works (essentially a global setState, can log changes to the console, do type checking, etc.) so I can work more efficiently. Stator was originally part of gdbgui, but since the pattern worked so well for me I extracted it into its own library.

> The reason transmute is (particularly) unsafe is because it can be quite difficult to tell whether a variable is bound to a value, a (possibly implicitly-dereferenced) reference or a slice, and so, given transmute's implicit type inference, it's very easy to quietly get either the source or destination type very wrong.

Ah, so just the type inference I mentioned? I agree, and certainly try to never let transmute infer when I use it.

However, I don't think one can end up with implicit dereferences or wildly unexpected types since there always has to be some context: the return value of transmute is completely unconstrained, meaning there needs to be something that suggests the type.

Additionally, C++ can suffer in a similar way (but not quite identical) due to auto:

auto source = ...;
T dest;
memcpy(&dest, &source, sizeof source);

Or, in extreme cases: `auto dest = ...;`.

> The size-checking is also I would argue useless bordering on worse than useless (false sense of security) since any two references or two slices are the same size, but are unlikely to actually be interconvertible, and it also fails to check alignment.

... C-style memcpy is strictly worse than all of this.

But yes, maybe a false sense of security. But that's a bit like arguing that a safety guard on a buzz-saw doesn't stop all problems, and so is pointless.

I agree that failing to check alignment of pointer destinations is unfortunate, but it's only one of many many problems that can occur with `unsafe` and even `transmute` itself.

However, it's worth nothing that differing alignment between values being transmuted is not a problem: transmute::<[u8; 4], u32>(byte_array) is fine, despite the byte array only having alignment 1.

> C and C++ (particularly the latter) make it much more difficult to inadvertently cast between values and pointers, and the strict aliasing rules (aliasing almost always illegal except through `char`) are draconian enough to discourage the practice of type-punning-through-indirection (and ensuing alignment bugs) altogether.

I don't agree:

- there's little difference between C/C++ and Rust other than the inference thing. C++ has C-style casts, and reinterpret_cast.

- strict aliasing ends up being commonly violated for transmute-style casts (it's just so temptingly easy, and there's nothing that actually stops it compiling), and `unsafe` in Rust is also a fairly major discouragement to doing bad things.

> `memcpy` (and unions-as-implemented) is nice because it's explicit and it just works.

transmute is only fractionally less explicit (and it's well known bad practice to let it be completely implicit), and also just works.

HVDC uses ordinary resistive conductors at high voltage. There's no superconducting wire involved.

EDIT: I see that you might have been wondering about this sentence from the article:

"In addition, researchers are exploring different types of semiconductors to improve the cost and performance of circuit breakers and voltage converters, Sivaram says, and working on superconducting cables that could boost power capacity and cut energy losses to nearly zero."

Wide-bandgap semiconductors like silicon carbide and gallium nitride are already working their way into high power applications. Superconducting energy transmission is much further from industrialization.
The risk is not on the debt you take, but on the stocks you buy. If the stock market halves next month (it could happen), will you be ok?

>The games can be stratified into economic divisions but in terms of striving and human drama they are quite similar. The poor person who has never tasted really expensive food gets the same pleasure from something more simple than a rich person who has numbed his palate does from the most expensive things.

My argument is that this is not true. there's a threshold below which not having enough causes significantly more suffering. having to wait two generations before buying the latest apple gadget is not the same level of suffering as having to delay a medical procedure because your job doesn't give you insurance until you've been there 6 months.

I don't know where the line is, but I am saying that going from $20K to $40K a year in total resources available to you makes more difference to your quality of life than going from $100K to $200K. - By a lot.

I mean, your description of being poor as eating plain foods sounds like you might have had a life like mine. Yes, there were times in my life where I had to eat inexpensive food, and yeah, it really wasn't so bad. But... I really think that's a fundamentally different kind of problem than having times in your life where there wasn't enough food at all.

Having times when you might have to get a smaller apartment or even roommates is also unpleasant... but I don't think it compares at all to having times where you might become homeless.
Keep your Identity Small (2009)

The point of such a study (the KCUR article is essentially blogspam, someone below posted a link to the study in Nature) has nothing to do with "east coast thinking" or whatever culture war thing you're alluding to. It's this:

Although DHS surveys primarily cover low-to-middle-income countries, and thus do not fully represent all socioeconomic contexts, our results illustrate reciprocal relationships between accessibility and key metrics of human wellbeing in many geographical, political, and economic settings. We found a clear association between higher household wealth and greater accessibility to population centres (Fig. 3a). Similar patterns emerged for measures of educational attainment (Fig. 3b) and treatment of fever among children under five (Fig. 3c). Although exceptions occurred (for example, there were wealthy household clusters far from cities and vice versa), and the selected metrics were strongly collinear, the association between accessibility to cities and indicators of human wellbeing in low-to-middle-income countries was unequivocal.

Some of the small towns listed by WAPO probably are the statistical outliers mentioned in the paper. A town on a major freeway and with an airport isn't necessarily in the "middle of nowhere" in the way the paper's authors are really worried about, which is access to services and economic activity. (On the other hand, in a few measurable ways, like crime, such crossroads towns are sometimes worse off than towns truly in the middle of nowhere, so if you're looking for a place to live you'd want to take it on case by case basis rather than making generalizations.)
If anything, I’d see this as a security benefit. The way I interpret it is by maintaining this link it would allow someone to track down a stolen device that the new owner tried to purge and make their own. I’d put the burden on the seller if they were truly concerned about privacy as it isn’t Apple’s fault that they tried to give you a feature to locate your device.
