As the price of diamond continues dropping, I wonder if people will find more interesting applications of the material and it'll eventually become as mundane as things like steel and aluminium. Besides its hardness, it also has very high thermal conductivity. Diamond is still too expensive to be a bulk material, but I look forward to when things like this become cheap and commonplace:

I read this comment before reading the article (something I often do) and it intrigued me enough to read the actual article. Then I realized that the article is just saying “talk to people when you start a new job”. If that’s an issue for any manager, regardless of my seniority level, I’ll know I’ve made a wrong decision to join that team.
Saying lab grown gems are fake is like saying "Is that Orchid you bought me a fake from greenhouse or a real one that someone picked from a jungle?"

What is basic attention token?
I don't think I agree with this.

We had a programmer that tried from the start to impress us. They were constantly suggesting new tools, or changes to the system, or trying to abstract some code.

What they weren't doing was what we asked them to do. They'd put a token effort into that, do it wrong, and then call it done.

On the other hand, all my best newbie programmers came in, buried themselves in their tickets until they understood them, fixed them, and went on to the next ticket. There was very little attempt to change the system in their first year.

I'm much happier with people who focus on doing their job instead of focusing on trying to impress people.
An assumption can be widely held even if most informed people would dispute it. For example the widely held belief that housing prices will only go up, despite historical and theoretical arguments to the contrary.

Isn't it better to ask what the probability of hitting any person will be?

"iPhone owners are willing to spend more than double what Android owners are for what is essentially same thing"

"iPhone owners demonstrably have less concept of frugality/value -- is it advertising, branding or something else which overwhelms their judgement?"

I wonder why this is. Is it the marketing which makes iPhone owners spend double? Is it the branding, the social status of buying a $1000 status object? Or do iPhone users really believe that their phone calls and web browsers are actually worth 3X the price?

In what sense?

I think that from quality, cost, and feature senses, there's lots of differences.

Quality - industrial diamonds won't have the flaws that natural diamonds do. In some cases natural flaws add value, but that's a rare exception.

Cost - the cartel keeps natural diamonds' prices inflated - so industrial diamonds win out again.

Features - read the HN comments I quoted from 2013 in a sibling comment - evidently the industrial process allows for some creative colouring via the use of various gases. It means that matching the common 'rare' colours of natural diamonds is quite easy, but also means there's a bunch of new colours and effects that you just won't find naturally.
NME failed to adapt, but Kerrang proves music weeklies aren't dead UK
That's an artificially induced cost, though. You are correct that I'm going to have to letsencrypt my blog if I want to people to be able to read it (I might just take it down). But I don't think the people are correct who are saying that a) there's any good inherent reason for me to do that and b) this will cost me no time or effort. I've done the LE thing before and, at least in my case, it's not a zero-effort thing.
We can also grow monoisotopic diamonds, which exhibit superior thermal conductivity compared to natural ones.

I agree, another aspect to this is that you are forced to absorb the information at a fixed rate. You can read as fast or as slow as you want, but a video will throw the information at you at the authors own pace. This either leads to frustration or information overload.
"Can a random kid learns cutting edge brain surgery techniques faster than every living adult"

If both would have the same level of knowledge, then yes, the random child would for sure learn the new techniques faster than the random adult.

"'kids learns better and faster that adults' can only be false, because if it was true then every kid would learn everything better/faster than any adult"

You simply mix up things here to support your basic, wrong claim.
Children do learn faster than adults. Countless study's support that. But nobody claimed, like you wrongly did, that it is meant, that they can learn every skill faster, when skills have prerequisites, which they are missing, but the slower learning adult already have.

And that there are obviously retards as well, sure thing. But again, nobody ever claimed that every child learns faster than every adult. "in general" is the catchphrase.

Learned something?

edit:
to put away a bit of snarkynes. I do support your intentions and very much agree, that as long as we are alive we can and should learn new things. Stopping to learn equals death for me. So people who use that "can't learn as I am no child anymore" I pity their lazyness. But it still doesn't change the fact that children learn fast, because they indeed have to learn EVERYTHING and we already know quite a bit about the world ... so they are "optimized" to learn, while we are more "optimized" to using our knowledge and skills ...
That is absolutely true. I guess my incredulousness stems from that I would consider myself rather uninformed about diamonds and other gemstones, and still I have found the future of the diamond business very questionable. Basically since I saw some movie about how they are kept in stockpiles, and also the movie Blood Diamond. I would have thought it to be rather mainstream knowledge.

My bias: I am a FIDE master who skipped chess study for a year when I was a teenager. (insert Brando quote from On the Waterfront here).

Notice that the main examples that would disprove my premise are from 19th century. You'd need chess historian Winters to sort the claims but Chigorin's "seriously" is something to debate.

Why aren't modern influx of adult players making masters? Plenty of adults playing in tournaments all around the world spending thousands on travel and equipment and training. Most of us are having fun but the improvement is not there.

Also GM Klovans was a master level player in his teens and GM strength player as a young adult. Source: knew him personally and cherish the only draw I had against him.

The few modern day examples started in late teeens and fit within my narrative.

If there is a "consensus" that becoming a master does not require some innate ability then where are those masters?
Show me a master level player who started at age 30.

The chess.com megathread on this topic came up with an expert who achieved his title after starting at age 30 and that really is an outstanding accomplishment and a huge outlier. If "consensus" is correct there should be more numerous examples.

Pretty much all adult players have hit a serious wall this you can see by looking at rating charts.

The only exceptions are returnees who dedicate themselves to chess full time and even then the gains are miniscule 50-100 rating points at best and then they hit the wall and that's that.

Thus I take serious issue with your presumption that "Getting to master (2200 rating) level play is ultimately just an investment of time and money."

My thesis that chess skill/rating = talent * early start * dedicated study . You need all 3, if one is missing your chess skill will be seriously hampered.
I think implicit in the author's text is the implication that you have a high standard for ownership, so that you can handle your responsibilitites well.

I agree though that this should not be advice for novice programmers, as in this moment of the career you are not sure of the most common pitfalls a team/project gets into and should be mostly concerned about learning the technical knowledge. Trying to do anything else will be a distraction from your current goals.

Very helpful advice for consultants or team members who really care about the project and your career.

But again, as said by a sibling comment, you should always pay attention to disfunctional environments and avoid getting too much attention from sociopathic managers/technical leads. Get some advice from the peers at the same hierarchical level first to know if things are handled smoothly, before iterating.

The best way become more familiar with an unknown team and code base is to work in the code daily. Spending your entire day in 30-minute one-on-ones with people will not help either of those. The exception of course is when you're brought in as a senior-level person in order to change something. But then you need to ask yourself why the senior folks on that team aren't in charge of that.

Y'know, I think that the whole diamond hype is nonsense, but I do understand how a stone which was formed over millennia (or more?) and discovered by a miner has more of a story to it that a stone which was grown in a lab by a technician. I've no problem with considering a natural diamond real and a lab-grown one fake, even though they are the same 'stuff.'

> It's only through exceptions that you can have meaningful copy-constructable resource-holding value types.

Could you give an example of this specifically? Are you thinking of e.g. a File class whose constructor opens the file? Because every such example I can think of is one where it ultimately seems inappropriate to me to use exceptions to signal the error. Both from a conceptual standpoint (it might be something you have no control over, so it's not a programmer error) and from a performance standpoint. Example for the latter: say the user gives you a list of hundreds of thousands of files that are to be copied somewhere "if they exist". Imagine half of them don't exist. Now your program is going to have to run through hundreds of thousands of exceptions to signal this.

They’re called fake because they’re artificial, not because they have more flaws. The diamond industry might have once thought it could rely on artificial diamonds being less perfect, but it’s under no such illusion now. I think it’s fair to acknowledge that, even if we don’t like it, many people prefer natural diamonds because they’re natural, not because they believe they’re somehow more “pure.”

In other words, I basically agree that diamond prices are subject to artificial scarcity, but give credit to the other side’s point. They have a reasonable and internally consistent argument, even if we find it disagreeable. If you interpret “real” to mean “natural”, their position is reasonable. This isn’t novel - we use “real” and “fake” to refer to “natural” and “artificial” for many other things.

The Priceonomics post didn't really say much more than the Atlantic article, I don't think it discussed synthetic diamonds or the internet or anything.

Cubic zirconia looks identical to diamonds but it's not chemically the same so people always considered it fake. Synthetic diamonds are chemically identical so De Beers need to invest millions in figuring out ways to distinguish them. Natural diamonds don't add anything more, but the whole purpose of them is that they're expensive.
