True, but in TS I've found the code is structured differently, to the point where 'prototype' inheritance is effectively obfuscated.

The other thing I find odd is why employers care that someone has deep and existential knowledge of JS? Who cares? I would probably object to any of my devs moving into JS weirdness unless it was totally necessary. You want simple, clean and readable solutions to business (or technical) problems, not something fancy pants. Every bit of oddity / less common stuff introduced just increases risk.

Just an honest question, could you elaborate on what methods are the: "there are more ergonomic userspace alternatives (existing and in the pipeline) that let you leverage the in-kernel network stack without having to incur copying costs". I've been curious about DPDK, FStack, Seastar, IncludeOS/MirageOS, etc. but wondering if there are easier ways to get the zero-copy IO.

That's one of my use cases too. It works pretty well when you're actively using multiple accounts. Amazon doesn't preserve the session very long, so I find that most of the time I open one of my AWS containers they're logged out.

Came to the comment section to basically write the same thing. The design is more important than coding in many ways, it's truly what sells the product.

I've often used it to highlight working features and "hid" the less functional ones. I'm learning myself, but totally worth getting a basic grasp on it. I usually have my designer friends or colleagues provide feedback which helps me learn.
Separate browsers too, for me it's just super unpractical to always have to open a new browser window just to open facebook, personal email, work slack etc.

> I know a lot of people dislike PHP and WordPress, but I haven't found _anything_ that comes close to it in terms of sheer extensibility and plugin ecosystem

You're right about everything there except one word: "extensibility".

Wordpress has a comprehensive hooks system that makes it seem like it's very extensible, but that's only there to make up for the godawful mess that is the codebase itself. PHP (which is a fine language and owes much of its bad press to wordpress tbh), like most modern programming languages, is designed for building easy to extend applications, where devs can leverage simple, testable, reliable language features instead of hooking into the tacked on callbacks API of a core app that's so inconsistent that you never really know for sure if anything's going to work long term.

There's three types of devs who interact with WordPress:

1. people who build "spec-and-deliver" sites for clients, with no ongoing maintenance, and love wordpress because they never see the mess their website turns into.

2. plugin devs who typically don't have to deal with client website maintenance, and definitely don't have to deal first-hand with their own plugins' incompatibilities with other plugins

3. people who have spent time actually maintaining wordpress sites and never want to touch it again

4. (non-dev) amateur bloggers who throw up an install with some plugins, and never look at code, and never update, and don't need any features, and are really the only appropriate audience for this platform... until their site gets hacked for the 15th time...

The difference is, Tesla is a car company and Alphabet isn't. Tesla is hoping autopilot can help them ship units, and Alphabet is hoping they can make the tech first and either build a car around it, or, more likely, license it to people who know how to make cars. I'm not sure either is altruistic.

Another framing of the issue with negative inertial+gravitational mass is that it would result in perpetual acceleration.

E.g. assume two bodies, one with mass M, the other with mass -M. The standard gravitational model describes a "repulsive" force on each of these objects, in the direction opposite each other. However, since the object of mass -M has negative inertial mass, this force would cause it to accelerate toward the object of mass M.

This results in these objects not accelerating relative to each other, and perpetually accelerating relative to an independent observer. One might attempt to explain this by saying that the negative mass has a growing negative kinetic energy level, but (it seems as a layman) this would violate the second law of thermodynamics.

Edit: Actually just negative inertial mass does this all by itself; it is just in the opposite direction if the gravitational mass is positive.

> This stands in stark contrast to the meeting I attended on Tuesday with Amazon's general counsel regarding their Rekognition service.

And I think that cuts to the core of this: this is an anti-Amazon move. Nonetheless, I do also think it's a pro-consumer, pro-civil liberties stance. It's also a recognition that the tide is turning with respect to consumers and privacy; here, Microsoft is getting ahead of this changing trend and establishing that they're on the right side of it. Amazon is going to find itself hurting on several levels next year, as legislation likely finds its way onto the books and the consumer tide changes further.

This is the first instance I've seen of the tech industry calling for regulation. I admire this and the idea that people running a corporation can understand that despite their best intentions, in the long run the corporation will act to maximize profit via legal means, even if an action is not in the best interest of society. And so in some cases we need to make certain things illegal. I would love to see a company do this sort of thing for a broad set of tax loopholes as well, for example.

I think there's a difference between lean prose and choppy prose. [1]

Lean prose (Hemingway) is elegant simplicity.

Choppy prose (most amateur writers) is tiring and jarring.

> Similar to the way an image recognition model takes in a whole image and says "this is an image of a goat," AlphaZero takes in a whole board and says "this is a winning board."

IIRC, AlphaZero has two outputs from the neural network. You described the first output.

The 2nd output was absolutely critical to it growing in strength. In effect, this 2nd output value is the difference from AlphaGo and AlphaZero. The 2nd output value guides the monte-carlo tree search.

Naive MCTS looks at board positions randomly. AlphaZero's MCTS looks at board positions the neural network deems "interesting". In effect, the neural network both guides the search (output #2), and evaluates the position (output #1).

MCTS chooses a position based off of the "interesting factor", as well as "how much that position has been evaluated". Ex: if "Knight to c3" has been evaluated 1-million times, MCTS will try to look at other positions. But if the neural network says that "Knight to c3 is really, really interesting", MCTS will still favor to look at that position, more so than other positions.

Etc. etc. down the hierarchy of moves.
You could say the same about a credit card skimmer on an ATM. It's passive, right? It's just a sensor that sits there and absorbs people's data. I don't think this argument makes a lot of sense.

The point is, there needs to be some law and order in place so that when people abuse this tech to harm people and society and get caught, there's some precedent to stop them and punish them. It doesn't matter if the technology is passive. The intent and action to use it to harm people are not passive and are not analogous to thought crime at all.

There is dire need for regulation with a lot of emerging technologies right now. We're building systems with enormous power which can break human society if misused. I think the intangibility and "passivity" of this tech (or at least how it is perceived) gives us a very false sense of security. Like how a few decades ago very few average people could understand how the internet might have a great impact on society. Obviously they aren't thinking that way anymore.

> Planes can absolutely land themselves.

No. They can’t. Not unless you have a IIIc approach and autopilot. Those things are not common.

If you don’t have both of those things, the pilot must, at minimum, fly the flare (for a IIIb approach, which are somewhat common at large airports).

Even if you have a IIIc approach, the pilot still monitors systems, deploys high lift devices and landing gear, makes the go/no decision. There is no reasonable interpretation of “planes can absolutely land themselves” which is in any way true.

I graduated from Fullstack Academy, and I've been rejected outright by most companies I applied to; only a couple have given me over-the-phone interviews, and nobody brought me on-site.

I have all but stopped applying, am doing freelance work to keep my skills sharp and pay the bills, and plan to start my own company in the future.

My motto: If you can't join 'em, beat 'em.

Edit: most companies I applied to are not of FAANG caliber. Also, I don't feel entitled to be hired; in most cases they didn't even deign to write a rejection email.
The current approach doesn't seem to have constrained availability much, so that is baseless hyperbole.

The point is that opiates from a reputable distribution channel wouldn't be laced with fentanyl. Have the state run the stores, appropriate security on duty, set the price just below market level, and use the profits to fund treatment programs. Tie the treatment programs into the retail stores, for immediate feedback for when people deviate. The treatment programs could even do things like accept returns for full refund, so people who are trying to quit aren't tempted to keep a stash laying around.

I doubt most people addicted to opiates actually want to be addicted - an aspect that gets left out of the righteous narrative.

You're right. Also Intel's AVX implementation is very power heavy, and they need to lower CPU frequency to fit into their thermal budget (see "Addenda:" in my previous comment).

Also yes, AMD's memory subsystem has much lower latency, and has higher bandwidth. Also their direct-attach approach is better than Intel. I forgot that advantage TBH :)

However, I can argue about L3s effect on speed. In some cases, the code and the data is so small, but the computation is so heavy that, you can fit almost everything into the caches. I had a 2MB binary which required 200MBs of memory at most, but it completely saturated the CPU in every way imaginable.

So, in some cases caches have great affect on speed. Especially if the data you're invalidating and pulling in is huge. However, if the circulation is slow, a faster FPU always trumps a bigger cache.
I would highly recommend adopting some form or organization and productivity process as you have a lot less time after having kids.

The original GTD book from 2001 has some great ideas on how to get everything together and stay on top of things.

Practice writing down a list of things you need to do the night before, so when you start work you can hit the ground running. If you are programming, try using something like the Pomodoro method. There are apps to facilitate this.

If you do not have a dedicated office area, I would highly recommend setting on up if you have the room.

Color theory is a wide subject. The context it was used in this discussion was for design and the influence of colors on the end user for things like UX, branding, etc. Yes, color theory also includes important and technical things like color spaces and human perception but that's not what we were discussing here.

To quote the OP: "How different colors mean different things (Branding-wise or for alerts/errors/warning)"

And, maybe I am wrong about this, but it seems like you've never even heard of color psychology since you seem to think that it's completely unrelated to color theory and that it's a strawman I cooked up out of nowhere. It's even linked in the related section on the wikipage for color theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_psychology
