It's not that simple. You can't communicate every true fact, so any reporting will necessarily require judgement of what's necessary to report. There is a fine gradient from unbiased reporting to lying by omission.
I have not used OpenGL much and don't know if you can actually output 2D device coordinates, but I am sure it supports the same format the hardware uses natively - 4D device coordinates.

With the 4D device coords it can do things, which make no sense in 2D: clipping against view frustum (e.g. how do you clip against the front plane in 2D?) and perspective mapping.

Once a company has a 'owned' a category in such a thing they're almost impossible to displace because the sound would have to be considerably better. With symbols ... well ... that's not going to happen. So it's a nice niche.
In your example, not really, but in general, assuming the implicit is in scope most of the time, `x.method` is much more discoverable through autocomplete than `method(x)`.

Incidentally, the fact that Haskell's function calls look like `f x` instead of `x.f` probably makes building a pleasant Haskell IDE quite difficult.
> I put all my eggs in the “being a programmer” basket and it’s clearly not for me

If you are sure you don’t want to be a programmer, then don’t be one.

Your degree shouldn’t pigeonhole you. If you are a recent graduate, you have plenty of eggs for whichever basket you choose.

Edit: what about data science? There are plenty of jobs available. Some might be based on coding, but others are based on maths, and others based on having a good business sense. It’s a diverse field which is in vogue and could allow you to pivot your career.

> I doubt you'd find many people who actually agree that inequality is a desired outcome of a properly functioning economy (even if it's true).

I don't agree (with your statement). I mean, I don't think most people actively begrudge people having a better situation than them - just like they don't sit around getting angry that Rachmaninoff is a better composer than them, or that Michael Jordan is a better basketball player. I think people do sometimes instinctively feel that one person having more wealth is somehow depriving them - but that's not universal, and only comes up in certain situations.

> "The greatest trick the Super-Elite ever pulled was convincing the world that they didn't exist."

> You see very few news stories about private jet vacations or the real-estate holdings of the super-wealthy.

Like, I don't think you're actually claiming that there's any conspiracy here of the super-elite, despite the wording. But I don't get your point. You think it takes active work to make it so that there are no news stories about the super elite? I mean, I don't expect the newspapers in poorer countries to be filled with stories about how much better everyone in America has it. I don't think it's because Americans did anything special - it just doesn't really interest people.

And again, I don't think everyone in Africa feels that the fact that most Americans are better off than them is necessarily so terrible. I think this sentiment tends to come up in certain situations (especially when explicitly talking about economic inequality), but not in general.
Yes, do everything this anonymous person says, because their post has 3 upvotes.

Seriously though, listening to everything the community says is a certain recipe for failure. User feedback is an indicator, not more. Implementation details and the general direction of the software have to be based on sane decisions by the development team, not the community.

The thing we need now is a version of the GDPR for hardware and software. A law that says that non-essential features mustn't be inseparably bundled with essential system features so the user can disable them without killing the system. Just like the GDPR did for essential data and marketing data. Is this so far-fetched?
I could not agree more with you that Github should have acquired a CI tool and worked on PaaS. Big missed opportunity for them and for their customers. I do expect Azure to become well supported on Github at some point, but Github had the opportunity to build something truly awesome and cloud vendor neutral. Very sad and weird they sold out, but it is theoretically possible Microsoft will do a better job moving Github forward.

Gitlab seems fine but it's just not as smooth / good looking as Github. Github is one of the best websites ever made in my opinion. I do like the fact Gitlab is more aggressive in adding CI features. Maybe I'll check them out...

> I get 2-day hangovers when im drinking.

You may just be getting older. These started for me at 40. And it's not just the physical symptoms: the multiple days of depression and low motivation after they've subsided are deeply unpleasant as well. Drinking to excess just isn't worth it any more, if it ever was.
With advancing age, I find people rarely, if ever, truly change. Apropos, they simply become more efficient and skilled at hiding their true nature whilst applying it still to an even finer degree of effectiveness.
I guess it depends on what exactly is "fried"? I assume that the CPU is needed for target disk mode, but maybe a faulty GPU wouldn't matter?

But to be honest I have no idea -- I'm a software developer and I know very little about hardware.
What people critizing this seem to miss is that it's exactly the same situation as for SSDs which include hardware full disk encryption (FDE):

If the processor inside the SSD responsible for encryption/decryption breaks, you can't recover the data as well anymore.

What would be the processor inside the SSD is the T2 chip in the current MBP's. It even exposes the same interface (NVMe) to the rest of the system as the processor of an SSD does.

The only differences are that the T2 chip has some additional responsibilities in addition to handle the storage and its encryption and that the die with the T2 chip and the flash chips is larger (as it's the motherboard) and might not be as sealed against environmental impacts as the one of an SSD (which could be a higher risk of failure).

Tesla is within 9 months of default, if things don't change dramatically. That's because in 9 month $900 million worth of bonds will have matured, which Tesla seems unable to refinance unless they raise capital, which Tesla seems unable to do for an unknown reason.

Ratings agencies have highlighted this for a while now and have said explicitely that Tesla will have to show sustained, profitable production or their rating will be reduced to "practically junk". The situation is not quite at that stage yet, but it's not as far off as you make it seem, either.

I think the way that abledon used it here is fine. He wasn't saying "everyone else is a code monkey", he was saying "we are all code monkeys" himself included.

In this context, it might actually help OP to relax a bit - the message is "Don't worry, you don't have to be a programming contest winner in order to work as a programmer. Many programming jobs are much lower stress and lower cognitive load than that", and abledon's description certainly matches my own programming job more than, e.g. what was described in the other "What was it like to be a software engineer at NeXT?" post on HN.
I use Getting Things Done with our own Tool Zenkit. The most time I work with Kanban Boards and organize everything in several columns (e.g. Inbox, To do today, next actions, calendar). I work with it every day and are happy when I can tick off the tasks I already did. For appointments and due dates, I switch to the calendar view to have a good overview. In Kanban, you can see your progress by having a look at the "Done" column.

At first, I organized everything with pen & paper but I always forgot to take my planner with me, so I switched to our online tool.

As someone on the higher-functioning end of the spectrum, I think it does. There are some traits I have and issues I contend with that I believe are based on Aspergers. Examples:

Sensitivity to non-harmonic noises, especially loud ones. The tapping of a pen, the hum of someone standing around. I cannot stand being around crying children. The feeling isn't quite that of blood pressure rising. More, that it creates a bubbling discomfort that makes me feel as though I might speak out against my own will. I never do, but it feels that way. So I have to remove myself from the situation or do something to rectify it.

A preference for non-verbal communication, well over that of my peers. A thumbs up. A nod. A wave instead of a "hey". I wave to greet people in case they don't hear me. I'm quiet because I don't like loud noises, and my own voice is near myself.

No interest in forming social relationships outside of work. People can tell I'm not interested because I don't offer to do activities outside of work. So I learn about people meeting up after work through overhearing people in passing. I'm okay with this, but I realize that this is outside the norm. Many social activities are not of interest to me.

I stave off loneliness through watching streams on Twitch and interacting primarily through Reddit. I get to control how much interaction I want. In both cases, I aim for smaller communities. I have a large body of programming work that I rarely discuss not out of humbleness or a desire to keep it to myself, but because the social rewards of sharing one's work don't carry the appeal to me that they do to others. At least, that's my assumption.

I can't read people's faces. I stopped bothering to try some time ago. I intuit by relation. This scenario seems familiar. I bet this person will want to do that. Aha, I thought so. I've also learned to tune into people's word selection. Do their words suggest urgency toward a goal, or a more relaxed attitude toward it? How do they ask for my attention? How do they speak about what they're wanting to learn? Where is this? Over there. Other questions with more detail suggest the speaker has more time, and may allow for more detail.

On the face of it, I can come across as relatively normal (though quiet). Deep down, the signs of Aspergers are still there, I've simply managed to find clever ways around them.
The movie industry is a per-project industry where there is going to big shift in employment as productions ramp on and ramp off.

Companies that provide services to the industry and core studios do retain staff especially those which are not part of the guild/union structure.

It’s also important to note that many unions in the movie industry push for contracts rather than full time employment as it gives them more power.

Working for a “Big Company” Can Be Fun If It Operates as an Intelligent Platform
I consult in verticals where uptime really matters. It's not unusual though, but yes, I know that companies do this. They usually don't care about insurance/hardware SLA though. Old hardware needs to be emulated.
Are there any Linux/x86-64 binaries somewhere? (Apparently my 16GB laptop is not enough to compile LLVM...)
I don't have any first-hand experience, and I'm sure there are exceptions. I've heard that GitLab will pay around $80k for a remote software engineer in a country with a low cost-of-living. That engineer could be earning $150k-$250k at a different company (e.g. Basecamp, GitHub, etc.)

I realize that $80k is a lot of money for Europe/UK/Asia/South America/rest of the US. But if you're a top engineer, you could double or triple your income by working for a different company (or as a consultant.)

I should mention that I don't have any problem with GitLab's compensation, and I think it's actually pretty fair. But fair doesn't really matter. A top engineer will just go to the company that pays more. I'm sure GitLab has a lot of great engineers, but just based on their compensation, I'm pretty sure it's not one of the best engineering teams in the world.

Of course we can discuss it but if you passionately throw around opinions like "most people want" as if they were facts without reference to supporting evidence then people will probably vote you down.

You're also making the strawman argument that removing the recovery port was done to save millimetres of thickness and that's clearly false because the 2018 laptop is the same size as the 2016-2017 MacBook Pro which includes the port.

This. If you can move in with your parents, or don't need to start making money immediately, I'd prioritize dealing with your mental health issues. See a therapist or do some meditation. Whatever you need to do to get centered again. If things are that bad for you, even if you get a job, you're either going to have trouble keeping it or make yourself miserable doing it.
I dunno, working overnight to get a standing ovation to 400 people at a very, very rich company that you can sell a very, very large amount of product to sounds worth it, especially if you're holding stock with the company you work for (or know you'll earn a big bonus with that).

I don't think anyone at NeXT or Apple that worked on a successful product minded they had to work at night sometimes.
That's not true. I've interviewed for many engineering jobs and lots of them involved solving puzzle-like problems on a whiteboard.
Borland kind of killed it, literally.

Object Pascal was originally developed by Apple and adopted by Borland into Turbo Pascal 5.5, which then started to adopt ideas from C++.

In the PC world, Turbo Pascal was the king of Pascal dialects, for a Pascal compiler it was more relevant to be Turbo Pascal compatible than ISO Extended Pascal (the standard revision that fixed the issues with ISO Pascal).

Borland switched focus to the enterprise, leaving the hobby developers behind, increasing the prices of their compilers to enterprise tools range, and then went through an identity crisis with Inprise and Codegear.

The Kylix attempt to bring Delphi and C++ Builder into Linux was never that serious.

They lost key people like Anders to Microsoft, nice story of events why he left in this interview.

https://behindthetech.libsynpro.com/001-anders-hejlsberg-a-c...

So most of us moved away, on the mid-90's C++ was an welcoming home for Object Pascal refugees.

Had the mix of OOP and procedural programming, thanks to classes and overloading it was possible to write type safe abstractions, RAII better than Object Pascal had, and even if the standard was a few years away, every compiler had a nice framework that would relive us from the pain of dealing with plain old C arrays and strings.

And for those moments that we were forced to deal with C APIs, being almost copy-paste compatible with C helped. Which incidentally is one of the pain points in modern C++.

This in the PC world.

On the Mac, Apple decided to cater to the UNIX crowd and started to move away from Object Pascal.

Outside PC and Mac worlds Object Pascal was hardly used.

Max Weinreich said "A language is a dialect with an army and navy".

On the context of systems programming languages, "A systems programming language is a language with an OS".

If it isn't tied to an OS SDK there will be always attrition why use it at all.

Nah. You can have variable length VLIW instructions.

And you can design an out of order VLIW that still has significant advantages at decoding many operations at once.
Yes! I would have bet AVIF would have been the container format of the future. Hopefully though, it can take some learnings out of this project and become even better at the end given evolution is metadata storage expectations to support "live photos" "motion photos" etc.
But having another format when there are already so many, may result in unwanted confusion too, which I would be wary of. :(
I think this can't be right. Machine learning is a bunch of small variations to a central algorithm. There must be one specific problem that it solves, otherwise it would be thousands of radically different algorithms.

I wish I could upvote you more. I have been a Sourceforge user for the last 15 or so years. There is some software like SQL Squirrel which[1] that I use on a daily basis. The Lazarus[2] project that was on HN front page a few days ago and ART - A reporting tool [3] which are great tools. I presume the developers of these tools are too busy to migrate to other platforms. I understand because these are Open Source applications and I presume the developers have day jobs and family competing for time. I wish Sourceforge well and hopefully they will in time shrug off all the negative sentiments.

I don't even entertain that nonsense anymore. Being a contractor helps ("You want me to stay late? Great, where do I send the invoice?"). Oddly, I almost never get asked to work overtime anymore because when money is involved critical deadlines suddenly become more flexible.

It amazes me how many people in our industry will eagerly work seven days a week without pay for an employer that:

A) Won't do it themselves.
B) Can easily afford to pay for it, but won't.

It won't help you get ahead, either. It shows gullibility, not dedication. That's not the kind of quality you want in a leader of anything. It's for this reason I would disagree with your premise that by not allowing yourself to be exploited you're forgoing future career success. You've learned the first lesson in success which is, crassly, don't be a punk.
Borland is to blame, they scared people away from Delphi.

> If he had even said "a function is like a machine that takes number(s) as input, changes them with a formula and outputs the new number(s)", I think it would have helped us grok.

Helpful but not quite right and one of the common misconceptions students seem to carry over from high school.

A function is something that takes inputs out of a set (its domain, e.g. people in this class) and gives you exactly one output with a prescribed data type (e.g. a date. The function than for instance being person -> birthdate). Neither numbers nor a formula are needed.

> I think he understood math(s) so well that he couldn't relate to someone who didn't know what a function was.

I think he probably could, but the syllabus said explicitly not discuss this ("too abstract") and there is time pressure. High school maths mostly is somewhat handwavy and stringing "definitions" together by examples. So you would mostly see lots of examples of functions and the "definition" of 'function' is then simply "things like that".
We use Kanban for several departments because our Tool Zenkit is not only a Kanban Board. You can work with multiple data views, for example, a Calendar.
In Marketing, we use it for task management. Prioritization can be used via due dates, the order of the items or by setting labels with "high", "medium" or "low". We add almost everything to the board to have a good overview of the workload or we add checklists to an item where we can see what to do within this task.

Everyone can move his items to "Done" and I get informed or we use the column "need confirmation" to check if the task is all done. And with the Calendar view, a team calendar isn´t a problem anymore.

How big is the dataset you usually deal with? From my experience, you hit computational bottleneck pretty quickly with GPs (100k datapoints of maybe 100 dimensions is pretty much the max you can deal with).

And if you are talking about dataset of this scale, then I agree with you that GPs are better than NN. However, people are excited about NN capability of dealing with immensely huge and high dimensional dataset not small scale ones.
