Never really liked mob programming at my old job. Just made me really distracted and made me feel like I wasn't needed as in my head I knew I was working with talented developers who could do what we were doing by themselves. Basically just ended up being a human typo spotter.

One thing we found useful though was using a timer for the 'driver' (person behind the keyboard). I made a terminal one here:

https://github.com/benbristow/agile-timer

It's more designed for Mac as it uses the 'say' command but could be tweaked easily for Linux users.

Although when I started at my new job I would have found it useful. Trying to figure out custom frameworks where the documentation was in a few people's heads wasn't fun.

My mom always would use recipes from the sides of containers. She said "they're going to try 100s of recipes to find one that will make their product look good, so no need for me to try a dozen recipes that they have probably already tried"

Often the recipes were customer submitted (though I believe the Toll House cookie recipe came from a restaurant chef), and companies would test and/or tweak recipes before putting them on the side of the box.
C++ doesn't need Assembly for SIMD.

Most compilers do a reasonable job with auto-vectorization, and if more is needed, there are instrisics.

No need to write straight Assembly.
1) Here's the lottery code for CA. Payouts are regulated - by it's nature, the odds of a lottery depend on the number of tickets, but typically, there are strict rules about the minimum % of receipts paid back to winners (which is effectively equivalent to setting house odds), and in many cases, only the state government can run them.

2.) There's been multiple cases where lotteries were -accidentally- setup such that the odds were in the favor of players if they pursued the right strategy. Here's one:

A history of gains to investors aren't an definite indicatio that an investment is good, or that the overall odds favor the investor. If I go into a casino and win roulette 3 times in a row, that doesn't mean the wheel is biased in my favor. Similarly, in most ponzi schemes, all of the early investors make money.

(And even in a non-fraudulent situation, simply having an investment go up doesn't mean it was a good investment, when examined on a risk-adjusted basis vs. other alternate options.)
There is a marketing story of a company that created a cake
mix with everything in the box: "just add water and bake".

Sales were poor, and market research and perhaps focus groups
determined that people felt slightly guilty that they weren't
doing enough work in creating a cake - so the company went back, removed the egg components from the mix, changed the
instructions, and sales rebounded.
Nobody said it was...

Raising two billion dollars without having a product in the market is a huge red flag.

Most major break throughs started from a very specific problem, that was addressed, got some market traction, and then refined over time.

Large up front investment without testing the market has been done before, but I can't really think of a single recent example where it went well.

Maybe perhaps SpaceX, but I'm not really familiar with their founding story and costs associated. But also consider that one is literally launching rockets into space, the other is creating a VR/AR headset.

Launching a single rocket costs millions! Buying this or any AR/VR headset will ultimately cost $1,000. Hence I don't see why you need $2B to get this off the ground.

And if they are having a problem shrinking the tech, well then it's not a real product. Because they aren't pitching here is a refrigerator sized computer and a headset, they are pitching here is a headset, so if you haven't shrunk it, then you really haven't built the MVP you were looking far as portability and comfort I'm sure are part of the essential requirements for this product.

They sort of do. The act of remembering alters the connections to other information made. Later, when trying to recall something again, the original connections may no longer work leaving you unable to find the information.

They can only find patterns in what they're told to.

> What this does is make it so you can put any grain next to any other grain, and they should fit together pretty decently. This gives you C0 continuity by the way, but higher order discontinuities still affect the quality of the result. So, while this method is fast, it isn’t the highest quality. I didn’t try it personally, so am unsure how it affects the quality in practice.

It's not just about continuity. It also removes an entire set of concerns from the process.

For example-- suppose someone analyzes an audio recording, splits it into grains, then does some fancy re-organization based on the timbral content of the recording/grains.

Now suppose they are subjectively unhappy with the result. Perhaps it sounds "wimpy," "fluttery," or some other such vague complaint. Is that sound due to a) their process of re-organizing the grains, b) the quality of the original recording, c) the envelopes they used, or d) something else entirely?

If instead one uses grains which begin and end at zero, the answer can't be C because it doesn't exist. I can say that the quality sounds fine in the few examples I've heard that use this technique.

I'd imagine the reason the latter isn't used as often is because it's simply more difficult to program if each grain can be an arbitrary size (or at least not quantized).

Planning with Legacy Concierge may be step one. Build an electronic vault with its app and/or enter lots of information in a secure encrypted location. Use the contents of the vault upon death. Post-death activities involve the court, an estate administrator (usually an attorney) and a personal representative with fiduciary duties. By law, the fiduciary cannot impersonate the user; the Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets act (RUFADAA) makes this very clear. Each state has its own version of RUFADAA. To be continued.

Good to see that building Servo on ARM will return "i686" as the cpu architecture. Because there are plenty of sites that will just match /arm/ in the user agent string and redirect you to the mobile version, regardless of what your user agent actually is. Which is supremely annoying to those of use with ARM desktops (a tiny minority, I admit).

Think so.
I've had a lot of success with paired programming in different team/project environments and really have only done 'mob' experiments. I didn't find there to be a lot of benefit to mobs vs pairing unless the goal was to make sure every team member was highly aware of what was going on in a specific commit/feature-branch.

I definitely think ad-hoc mobbing has it's place and most if not all big design/redesign work the team undertakes should be in a mob form. I'm not sure I could see it being a good practice day to day for most teams/projects though.
That's very clever. Reminds me of doing plumbing with copper piping and using bread to stuff the pipes before soldering them in order to not have the leftover water flowing to where you are soldering, making it impossible.
Yes, I was thinking about methods for creating and managing mobs. But then, I've read Burroughs.

Wikipedia has a current events portal. I think it's a pretty decent way to stay abreast of events without falling prey to the outrage cycle. Basically, nothing shows up on there unless it is significant enough to warrant a Wikipedia entry. That may not be the perfect filtering criteria, but it's world better than the algorithm that decides what ends up on the front page of Google News.

> I think people are hesitant to over-criticise academia.

is a message to people here. Of course, there's all the "anti-global warming, intelligent design flat earther republicans" who have always criticized academia, but that's not what you're talking about (I think).

I think you mean that people here - i.e. relatively educated, orthodox liberals for the most part - should really start to look hard at academia.

I'm someone with a traditional academic pedigree (double major in Econ + Math from MIT, most of my friends have PhDs) but I, too, am growing increasingly wary of much published research.

For example, there's this eye-opening blog post[0] by Andrew Gelman, a professor of statistics at Columbia who collaborates on a lot of psychology research, about the problem of bad statistics in research in psychology. There's this [1] famous paper by the Fed about problems of replication in what I studied, economics. Or how the NIMH "is re-orienting its research away from DSM categories".[2] And then there's the endless pop-science ideas that show up and get shot down like Power Pose, Air Rage, or Learning Styles. Or the constantly changing recommendations on nutrition.

I don't really take for granted anymore that academia is generally working towards greater understanding of the world. It's an imperfect system that has done some incredible things, but it definitely is dealing with some serious issues at the moment. I hope that initiatives like journals for null results, changes in the way grants are apportioned (like in this posted article), etc, can put it back on track.

It varies, but mostly it involves marketing. Press, branding, merchandise, etc. Alongside all the other odds and ends like helping you find support staff (visual artists, booking agents, tour managers, etc), legal representation, and fronting money for the recording process. There's quite a bit that goes into it all, there's a reason why large record labels have so many employees.
But what's the point of OpenID Connect being interoperable, if unlike in OpenID, the providers are statically defined by the site and not dynamically discovered from the user input? If you want to have your own provider for your own sites, then you don't need it to be interoperable.

Umberto Eco; Ur-Fascim (1995)
All of these are prescriptions for establishing a narrative for your commits.

First you must convince people that the obviousness of their commits decays rapidly. What was obvious ten commits ago will be completely opaque three hundred commits from now.

Then you must convince them that the descriptions of the commits are often instrumental in fixing bugs without introducing regressions.

And to do both of these you must convince them that this code will survive for a long time. Everyone behaves like they won’t be here for the consequences or like they can “fix it later”. One of those tomorrows never comes.
So crazy thing about government, they can deem themselves regulators of anything. Some choices are certainly easier to police than others, granted, but they don’t have to massage their definitons to declare something illegal.
In Ebbinghaus' original work, it is simply about memorizing syllables. However, that is only a small percentage of learning harder skills like computer science (learning syntax), language (learning words), or even acting (learning lines). The next steps would be to synthesize (Bloom's taxonomy) the newly acquired knowledge in some way to facilitate higher levels of learning (CS - problem-solving, language - conversational fluency, acting - character work).

I think this is where Bloom's taxonomy (and the like) can help with decreasing the decay effect. The mental effort requirements for memorizing are considerably lower than those of levels like synthesis. In that case, factual information can be lost (specific API commands), but more important elements are retained (when/why/how to make API calls).
I'm a big fan of The Economist and have bought and/or subscribed to it pretty much continuously for almost twenty years now (young old man that i am), but unless you're entirely beholden to its agenda, which I find very un-self-questioning - I'd suggest you offset its perspective with a 'complementary adversarial' weekly.

Last time I swore off excess media consumption (about a decade ago) I kept on with The Economist and found I was 'drinking the Kool Aid' after a while.
I believe one of the first contestant to be voted home - ever - committed suicide shortly after [1].

> look like regular glasses

This just isn't possible in the foreseeable future. Maybe someone will figure out how to fit enough processing power for decent AR into the "regular glasses" form-factor within the next couple decades, but there is no discernible path to a viable battery that could work in that form-factor even if we didn't have to also make room for the GPU. Additionally, none of this takes into account heating issues. If this goal is ever reached, its so far out that it's impossible to predict which company will achieve it.

Absolutely unnecessary. Modern C++ borrowed some paradigms of functional programming, but learning a functional language isn’t remotely close to being a prerequisite to learning those features.

In terms of jobs, C++ is used heavily, if not the majority of the time in: AAA game development, high performance computing, high frequency trading and quantitative finance, embedded software, image processing and computer vision... honestly, I focused on C++ out of school years ago BECAUSE of how interesting many of the jobs are. They’re also generally more stable and thus competitive over time compared to e.g. web dev, enterprise software, and so on, because the domain knowledge required means you’re a lot more valuable than knowing X and Y design pattern or framework Z.
