"The difference between screwing around and science is writing it down." - tpai
Thanks for the perspective.

Looking back at the map, I landed in Spokane airport and then traveled westward for 2 hours. We passed the Grand Coulee Dam and I stayed in and around that area for roughly a week and got to interact with the locals.

Omak was the actual town I stayed in. Apologies for getting the geography wrong. I had to look up the map and actually remember the names to get this stuff right... I'll check a map next time I start listing off Geography I'm not familiar with...

Specifically for the area I was in: the locals were mostly concerned with a Lumber Mill that shut down relatively recently. Certainly not a town that is affected by the Aluminum or Steel tariffs, and certainly one that will be affected by China's counter-tariffs in Nuts and Dried Fruit. Lots of farms in that area.

You're right though: they have lots of cheap power due to the huge Grand Coulee Dam, so the area should be theoretically a good area for manufacturing.
As a self-defined tinkerer, I have tried the transition to a peer-review recognised researcher. It is very hard. Science is a very harsh mistress, and what you want your work to be saying is quite distinct from strong tests into what it actually says.

The game-like qualities of surviving peer-review are just that: a set of pretty arbitrary hurdles to cross. If you work in a narrow enough field, your set of blind review peers is tiny and their critique, even if masked, can seem very personal at times. I don't like that much.

I don't overall judge my attempt a success. I think this is an endevour best started early. Late stage career, trying to demonstrate you understand the rules of science, is hard.
There is almost a 0% chance that the GP, as (presumably) an educated and well-fed citizen of a first-world country, has a serious vitamin deficiency. That's not the failure case that he's avoiding. My guess would be that that "weird feeling," in most cases, is a sugar rush from eating something with a high glycemic index; do that a lot [1] and it puts pressure on your liver and kidneys and otherwise causes non-optimal results. Not as serious as an iron deficiency, certainly, but worth paying attention to.

[1] Most people do. White bread has a high glycemic index.
> So when the users don't conform to the world view of the platform operators, the answer is platform sponsored propaganda?

Facebook sponsors propaganda all the time. Its algorithms favor certain posts and messages over others, based on a long list of attributes, including ad dollars. But apparently that's OK, while suggest that Facebook display some positive third-party post about Muslims in Myanmar -
while a genocide is underway - is suddenly "platform-sponsored propaganda"?

Every time this even becomes a question, I also feel compelled to point to the same things.

Including one of my more important figures in those questions surrounding chemical technology and nuclear physics, paraphrasing an old Buddhist proverb:

---

“To every man is given the key to the gates of heaven. The same key opens the gates of hell.

And so it is with science.”

I'm continually baffled, though less surprised lately, how many people still think that they can shirk all responsibility. It's important to take time to consider what effects your work can have on the world, and not think anything and everything justified in the name of making money. At some point, we're all in it together.

> Regulation benefits the already big

That generalization is pretty obviously wrong. The vast body of antitrust regulation is designed precisely to hurt the "already big". Regulations around net neutrality would also fall into the category of helping the little guy far more than a big player. Regulation certainly can hamper smaller businesses, but it really depends on how the regulation is designed.
If you're not planning to release your own hardware, could you provide a list of devices that the software is tested with? I looked on the site a bit but the crazy art thing triggered my ADHD and OCD as well. I imagine the idea is that you can compile it for whatever device on any platform with some change but makes it harder for community engagement without a go to for sure platform to test some builds and POCs.

I was with you until the "I preferred Windows" part. Windows right now is the most infuriating piece of software I can imagine for a developer. Forced upgrades? Forced advertisement? Gigantic, expensive SDKs with incomprehensible versioning and install times measured in hours, no standard library installation facilities, no standard build facilities, a default compiler that is markedly inferior to the alternatives, it just goes on on and on.
Do you have a non-video source on this? 2/3s seems really high.

Just use docker or a VM for matching your production environment. Then your devs can use whatever device they're comfortable with. Add in a CI environment and then suddenly you don't need to force the same OS on everyone. Everybody likes something different.
I think you're missing his point. Those very entities have agencies which are both "protecting" the public by imposing regulations that prevent them from expenditures with negative expected value, and at the same time peddle them.

Imagine if there were a state-run cigarette producing public benefit corporations alongside public health departments. You'd have two agencies, one cultivating and the other discouraging the same toxic habit at great public expense. We already have this with various OTB/gaming commissions and gambling addiction services. It's an insane conflict of interest to waste tax dollars on.
> I suppose whether you think those two are authoritarian probably depends a lot on your own political leanings.

I think both the Trump and Bernie movements have some frightening populist characteristics. But between the two leaders, only Trump has been broadcasting blatant authoritarian messaging.

That's not to say that Bernie would never engage in any authoritarian action if he were elected, but he's not made overt any authoritarian tendencies like Trump has.
I tried using threads on multiple pipe reading, to centralise a logfile sorting problem (each discrete logfile is a gz which itself is only partially in order, and then between files a merge-sort has to be performed) It was enjoyable to try to fix, but ultimately I found the solution only marginally better than explicit processes feeding a single reader doing round-robin. I think the lesson I learned is that if the problem integrates back into a single context there isn't much you can do to avoid that bottleneck once all the other parallelism opportunities have been overcome.
Plenty to lose still. We export food around the world. Vietnam uses our cotton to make shirts. Etc. etc.

The US Heartland relies upon beef, cotton, nut, pork, etc. etc. exports. The US's primary "manufactured" export is food from the heartland.
Yeah, I can definitely see this as being the reason. The switch from PPC to Intel was partly motivated by IBM dropping the ball. Now Intel is failing to keep up as well, so given that Apple has the resources, why not control their own destiny?

Ah...that makes much more sense. There is nothing from Spokane to Wenatchee along that route. Spokane is Washington State's second largest airport, but like many airports is located outside of the city.

Washington has been in the metal refining business because of cheap hydro since WW2, Boeing's primary operations are in Washington (Seattle, some in Spokane) because of it.

Some of the old X86 clone chip companies got bought out by others. Cyrix, Centaur, Winchip ect got bought out by VIA and I had not heard of VIA is still in business.

Apple once made PowerPC chips with Motorola, IBM, and others.

There is also a rumor of Apple using ARM chips with X86 codes or X86 emulation.

I'd like to see Apple make a version of a modern PowerPC CPU and use an ARM as a co-processor to run iOS stuff. Cut out Intel or do it via emulation like Rosetta did for PowerPC code.
10K mile view, automation is part of it but offshoring jobs is also part of it. My vehicle was manufactured in Mexico. The one I owned before that was manufactured in the US. The manufacture is still highly automated, but it's cheaper to do in Mexico for various reasons, one being cheaper labor, another being no tariffs.

In general, in the modern world (or at least, in the US) we tend to overeat. We're not just eating to satisfy hunger, we're eating for many reasons. Furthermore, it takes your body some time to react to putting food in your stomach (this is why you eat more if you eat fast than if you take your time).

Basically what I'm saying is, eating fewer calories doesn't necessarily mean you're hungry, because putting food into your mouth isn't just a reaction to being hungry, and because we tend to eat more than is necessary to satisfy hunger anyway.
Yes, it's basically a shared redis through an API. My guess is that a lot of developers use Redis only for their SET and GET operations and would rather use an API than setup a redis instance every time they need those commands.

Are you a coffee drinker? I'm guessing no.

Chocolate contains stimulants theobromine and caffeine. I am not a coffee drinker, nor regular consumer any other stimulant, making me rather sensitive to the effects. If I eat chocolate, particularly dark chocolate, I reliably experience a mild stimulant high.

There's not really a difference between foods containing these molecules and oral drugs containing the same molecules.

Would you care to elaborate? I'm curious and not entirely sure what you mean by this, sorry.

I don't think OP is claiming they did, but rather that it was part of the evolution towards thinking of data as a liability rather than an asset.
The same that they accuse Canada of denying: regulations that in some form or another invalidate hosting servers on American soil.

The second last sentence was a big red flag to me:

Most cigarette brands are owned by a couple of huge tobacco companies like Philip Morris (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Morris_USA#Brands) and British American Tobacco (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_American_Tobacco#Curre...). They are barely competing, just trying to attract different crowds under different brands and to make a premium on luxury brands.
The best way to get your work accepted in a peer reviewed venue (journal, conference, etc) is to voraciously consume everything that venue has published before, and make your work match the style observed + copiously quote works from that venue.

Obviously the intrinsic quality of your work matters. But you’ll more often see work of marginal value that properly follows the form than work of great value that does not follow the form. In fact, in my field (academic HCI), I have never seen the latter, yet see plenty of the former at every conference I attend.

No, but paper wealth has a huge effect on discretionary spending.
This could be done without forcing anyone to sell if companies were allowed to be listed with very little volume/liquidity. Essentially those who own shares could publicly trade them, but there would be no IPO, and possibly no shares available to buy.
What happens when the Chinese circumvent the petro-dollar?
Sure! Basically: You put availability on your calendar; we book interviews into that availability. (When candidates schedule, we show them aggregated availability across all eligible interviewers.)

You could do roughly 5 interviews in 8 hours if you account for breaks and everything. It's possible to do more than that, but I'd say that's the happy fill rate. I've done more than that and it starts to be excessive.
No, my eyesight both far and close was quite a bit better than average as of last week (as I was just there getting checked). We have a lot of 4k and 5k displays at work and most people who say they can tell a (significant) difference when we compare (the topic comes up a lot) seem to usually either be on > 27inch, have scaling higher than what's expected, or just fail to see it when we really test it out. Your millage may vary :)

Don't get me wrong, I can see a difference, but not nearly as night and day, especially when it comes at the cost of other features (eg refresh rate... which isn't the end of the world for coding so if it's the only thing you do on the monitor it could be worse... otherwise ouch my eyes.)

As much as Apple made a big deal marketing "Rosetta", behind the scenes it was a product from Transitive called QuickTransit. QuickTransit is gone now, absorbed by IBM. In comparison the 68k to PowerPC emulation was very primitive and slow and mostly appeared to work because of how unbelievably slow 68ks were vs PPC.

>copiously quote works from that venue

This is more important than you'd initially think. Incentives matter, and professors are rewarded for publishing papers that get cited by other papers. So if you cite your reviewer's paper, it's in your reviewer's best interest to get your paper through review. Hence, quote a ton of works from that venue and hope to get lucky like that.

I beg to differ: Take a look at current state of MacOS. There is nothing wrong in idea of quality control with emphasis on security, but actual os implementation lacks it. Only Apple can survive root fiasco from this year. I think that a need of commercial desktop linux distribution is present. I remember commercial SUSE 11. It was a good desktop, but targeted in a wrong direction, if someone is brave enough to target creative market with all good things that Apple is famous for, it will be more than a hit. It will be glorious. Microsoft is going in cloud/ai direction. Apple is mobile only. Desktop computing will not die so easily. Professionals need desktop, bigger screen, and reliable and expandable hardware architecture.
I don't support any of the propaganda that Facebook pushes. This also doesn't have anything to do with ads. The issues is that when these mega-platforms decide that they are going to promote one side of a political issue, and suppress another (as they have been doing more and more), this comes at the cost of freedom of expression, and all you're left with is corporate approved discourse.

Of course this is much easier to rationalize in this situation. However that's how you end up giving away liberty. You give it up in little pieces in response to extreme situations, then when you go back about your life you don't get it back.

The real issue here is that this gets the whole problem backwards. We shouldn't be looking at a state-sponsored genocide and then claiming that "if only Facebook had more control over public discourse then we'd be able to solve this problem". The "problem" in that statement can be anything from this genocide taking place, to your preferred candidate losing an election. "We need more propaganda" isn't going to solve any of that, and in reality it's just a veiled power grab by companies that wish to control public discourse more effectively.
