No, you're getting stuck at 3.0 because you're hitting the deprecation strategy. You need to specifically request a post-3.0 context with wglCreateContextAttribsARB which you're not doing. Thus the system thinks you're an old legacy OpenGL app, and is giving you 3.0 as that was the last version before things were removed.

Thanks.
This is correct and that's what I would recommend as well.

It is 100% better to be able to work through a bad trip than to take the escape hatch, but I sure wouldn't go into the experience knowing that my only option is to work through whatever happens. Knowing there's no way out might make it impossible to work through things where I would otherwise say "ok, I can go a bit further, I can always bail if I have to".
Perhaps I am a bit cynical, but why do you say Github "exist[ed] solely to provide a service to entire developer community"? They made money too.
you mean, if you do $10 of good things as a smoke screen for $11 of bad, then you are bad, not that the good things aren't in fact good

Domo is an analytics company: "The pitch for Domo was that it would fill in some of the gaps in enterprise data analysis that Omniture had left open, providing access to real-time marketing information that would help CEOs run their companies more efficiently."
> Yeah. That generally how you fool people you are a good person. You do stuff that appears to be good hearted. Companies do that too. Just like politicians.

Companies aren't people though; they're made up of people.

So, where you could make the argument that it's very difficult for people to change, the people who make up a large company change everyday.

There are likely many "good" and "bad" people in a given company for any definition of good and bad. I'm sure the people at any sufficiently large company don't even agree on what is good or bad.

I would say we're more than half done. We still need to power through a big chunk of the story. It's kind of a high-wire act but we're both enjoying it.

I think letting a book evolve can have varying consequences. In reality you want it all to be stylistically consistent. But you can't publish 200 pages, see a problem, and change it on the fly. (Dostoyevsky appeared to do this in "The Possessed," changing from first to third person and back). On the other hand, the pressure of having to meet deadlines might make it more intense. So it could go either way. A lot of great, great books have been serialized and a lot of them had an hard-driving feel to them (In Cold Blood, I think, wss one, as were the Fear and Loathing books).
I've learned far more from my bad trips than from my good ones.

It's important to look at whatever happens as a learning opportunity rather than trying to push it away.
phones worked for decades with fees. probably can't bring that model back but just pointing out the world still worked when communicating cost money. we had subsidies for the poor (no idea how effective they were)

That's a good point, but it's one that cuts both ways: the same capacity for change in leadership and therefore behavior that means MS might no longer make the mistakes involved in IE (interested only in market dominance, not in developing/maintaining the potential of the technology) also means that in a decade MS might shift in how they value GitHub.

Does Substack allow po - I mean, erotica? Asking for a friend.
I guess that depends on your reasons. I took them to treat my depression after reading about patients being given psilocybin in a clinical setting. For me it was absolutely worth it. The first two times I also did prepare a tea which produced two nice trips, but the third time I just chewed the full dosage raw (15 grams of magic truffles of the sort ATLANTIS) which produced an out-of-the-world trip that unearthed things from my subconsciousness I otherwise would have never reached. Somewhere someone described the experience as getting your brain power-washed. That's an apt analogy.
Mercurial is very similar to git, but its CLI is considered to be easier than gits (if potentially less powerful). Another difference is that mercurial heavily discourages editing of history, which some git users seem to like doing. Git is also faster than mercurial.

GNU arch was an early DVCS but didn't seem to gain much traction. It was eventually superceded by Bazaar, which is much slower than git but was better at tracking history e.g. across renames. I think git has improved in that area, and bazaar has been getting less popular.

Fossil is built on an sqlite database and has a built-in Web UI and issue tracker, which is fine for those who want that but violates the "do one thing" principle (e.g. if you wanted to use some other issue tracker).

Darcs keeps track of patches and their dependencies, unlike git and mercurial (which track snapshots and their diffs). This approach supposedly makes life easier, and makes the darcs CLI quite usable. One problem is that some of the merge algorithms can take an exponential amount of time to complete, which has been getting addressed in recent years but many users seem to jump ship to git.

Pijul is similar to darcs, but breaks compatibility in order to solve the exponential merge problems. It looks very promising, but is still very new.
Does the fact they are using a different approach (i.e. 'Deep Learning') to many of the same problems they've been trying to address for some time ... even really matter?

Keep in mind they literally have 0 accusers, and when the women they worked with were interviewed they all had 0 complaints, and even at the time of publishing the book was categorized as satire. The name "The Exile", IIRC, refers to the fact they were a satire of the piece of shit Americans that Ames and Taibbi witnessed coming to Russia as the USSR was falling in order to ravage the country in its moment of weakness.

Unless they are doing PhotoID / PhotoIQ that can learn photos without using basic hashes, then does this really make sense?

Example: I can validate if a file has been uploaded to virustotal.com without actually uploading the file, since the site uses javascript to calculate the hash of the file. Hashes are easy to change in photos, so I can always make a new version of the file. Hashes are useless for this.

Have Facebook documented what software is being used with the nudes, how many people can view them and are these people in a clean room that does not allow copying data to other systems? Are cell phones allowed in the clean room? What happens to an employee if they are caught copying a photo?
>But Tesla also took time to publish a blog post characterizing Cordaro as someone who did not take care of his Model S.

>"The suspension ball joint experienced very abnormal rust,” Tesla said of his car, adding that Cordaro “lives down such a long dirt road that it required two tow trucks to retrieve the car.” The car, Tesla also added, was “caked in dirt."

I'll be one of the first people to tell you that Pennsylvanians are a bunch of loud mouth complainers who don't really have it as bad as they say when it comes to vehicle rust.

However, the idea that a low volume, relatively new (there are no 20yo Teslas let alone Teslas that have spend those 20yr in salt states) car company, primarily located in California (!!!), that primarily recruits in California (!!!), is going to be able to determine "normal corrosion" looks like is laughable. Even established car companies can't accurately and consistently predict corrosion 10yr out. Tesla doesn't even have a big enough data-set to make that prediction, let alone the expertise.

I'm female, I work at a university that is considered in 'the ghetto' as a software developer. There are a lot of issues in my city that range from everything from homelessness, to gentrification, mental illness, addiction, etc.

I've seen the consequences of discrimination from everything from skin color (I'm white, many of my siblings are black or mixed), to gender, to socio-economic status, etc.

I've also spoken on the internet for a long time, and I know what it feels like to feel silenced with the push of a button. A downvote. It's annoying. It's annoying to know people studying machine learning are only doing it to control how people think, to control behavior, to control wealth, or whatever the fuck else they want.

So, how many times does this have to wrap around itself for people to understand, downvoting people on the internet for complaining about how the world of math and logic seems largely presented as a male world, is part of the problem?

Even more ironically, MLK gets quoted.

All men are created equal. Are you focusing on the word men in that rhetoric, or are you understanding the message?
As I recall, when Toyota was dealing with accidents involving electronic throttles and "unintended acceleration" they did publicly claim that the accidents were a case of drivers stepping on the throttle instead of the brake.

(Note, this was separate from the real problem of floor mats interfering with the pedals, for which there was a recall).

The NHTSA apparently agreed.

Because proof that the ETCS-i caused the reported UAs was not found does not mean it could not occur. However, the testing and analysis described in this report did not find that TMC ETCS-i electronics are a likely cause of large throttle openings as described in the VOQs

Cache busting would be appending things like the last 8 characters of an asset's MD5 hash to the file name.

You end up serving logo-bad253c1.jpg as your asset file name, so you can cache it forever with nginx, and if the logo changes, the asset's filename gets changed.

With Jekyll-Assets (a plugin) all of that is taken care of for you under the hood. You just reference {% image logo.jpg %} in your templates and it does the rest when you build your site.

Doing things like converting SCSS to CSS and other optimizations are included too, but the main issue is I don't think Hugo has anything for that cache busting strategy that works in a generic way (adding a querystring is no good because a lot of proxies strip out that data).
Sorry you had to go through all that trouble. We need to improve the process of lifting the rate limits so that people don't think they're stuck with it...
Great article IMHO especially suitable for new teams, new managers, and top down understanding. Kudos!

For people who are stepping into existing teams, I suggest writing ground rules.

Ground rules are clear explanations of team expectations. Ground rules can be simple, bottom up, and help improve teamwork:

Objectives can be sophisticated, top down, and help improve planning. I suggest knowing "Objectives and Key Results" (OKRs) as at Google and Intel:

This is kinda how building business around tech & IP works. The IP (copyright, patents, etc.) is assigned to the company so when they seek investment the investors know what they are getting. That or the IP is licensed which doesn't appear to be the case. The guy assigning the IP still owns it given he is a 50% shareholder. IMO this bike shredding of an issue is more detrimental to the going concern of the project than anything. The guy wrote the majority of the code it would be moronic for him to get booted which is why I highly doubt the other dude is trying to get rid of him and this is a misunderstanding of how this process works.
Well, I don't see any features of Windows that make it inherently not-free. So what's the catch here? I think people who are selling Windows believe they can milk that cow for some time, still.

During that time they can push on the software development tools/environment; and frankly they have always been better at that. Business logic is better done by business people and no matter how hard an average software developer is going to push against that - that's the truth.

I just clicked on the LKML website and I have literally no idea what to do next.

It’s like a mailbox full of patches without even any clear indication for which source file it is, which patch is the latest, etc.

I also don’t even know how to reply/comment on those. On GitHub I can register/login and comment straight away from the web interface.

Just because some “die hard” programmers believe antiquated workflows are the best for them doesn’t mean it’s best for everyone else. There’s a reason Github took off (Git was around for years before, but Github made it accessible to a lot more people).

There was a company with a subscriber model. It worked pretty well and we loved it. Facebook bought it and destroyed the very idea behind it.

The same kind of world were all kinds of tech is expensive at first and then becomes cheaper and cheaper as it approaches and enter mainstream usage?

Nobody would argue today that we should have refused luxury cars to add airbags because "what kind of world would it be where only the rich has access to safer cars".

In the same way we shouldn't argue against people paying for better products.

That said, I think WhatsApp were planning to add other paid options like API access etc before they got eaten by Facebook.

Previous actions aside, when is it ever a good idea to argue with internet trolls in _any_ comment section as a CEO? Especially when it involves executive level disputes?

What could you possibly gain that would be a net gain from commenting here? Aren't you concerned about customer and investor blow back from you simply commenting outside of a legal letter seeking a peaceful resolution?

Not saying I support the original idea, but there's objective, widely agreed-upon definitions for poverty, so it should be possible to transfer these to define low income.
If you think so little of yourself, why should we listen to you? I'm not saying we should all bow down to systems programming, I just think "CEO" is a role that doesn't need to exist for a company like this. You could probably roll up most of the daily duties of said CEO and have them carried out by an intern-level sales guy. Technical people should be setting the direction of technical projects. When they don't have the skillset, they should delegate. There is no need for this amorphous "CEO" person who has tons of power but no skills to back it up. The exception is if they came up with the idea, and helped execute it from the beginning.
I kind of like the XP approach to this.

First, estimates longer than two (or was it three?) weeks need to be split into smaller pieces. (Because it seems that when the estimates exceed two weeks, the accuracy of the estimates goes down. We're just not good at estimating things longer than that.)

Second, if you don't know enough to make the estimate - if the task is something that you don't know how to do - the first task is to find out. In XP, this is called a "spike" - a task where the purpose is to nail something down, rather than to produce a usable artifact. Often you don't know how to do something, but you can say that after two weeks of research, you'd have a better idea. So take the two weeks of research, and then you can give a decent estimate. (Hopefully - there are some tasks that you'll know you're done when you're done.)
Seems like the issue is that any company will prefer to avoid a technical problem for $10k rather than pay $100k to do it in-house. I personally do a lot of interesting work purely because the stuff I'm doing cannot possibly be done externally (since I'm a scientist and systems engineer).

So I guess the trick then is to work someplace where what you want to do is exactly the business problem they're solving. Anything that isn't directly their offering is likely to be farmed out, and I think that will only accelerate.

I don't know the right software analogy, but I wouldn't advise a client to research new ways to manufacture PCBs if all they actually need is to have working PCBs. But if their business model revolved around a new PCB manufacturing method, it would make perfect sense for them to hire me to help them develop that new method.

Assuming it's similar with software, if you want to research making databases run faster don't work for a database consumer, work for a database provider.
