Reading through this reminded me a lot of what Jon Blow has been saying [1] about programming as he's been writing his new language specifically tailored for games. He talks about how ridiculous it is that C++ compiles can eat up so much time in a programmer's day, and how programmers are not generally taught how to write efficient data structures and thing about things like locality and access patterns.

And that's when you can reason about the access patterns. When you're running things out of a browser, you are even further removed from the metal and likely using a grab bag of web frameworks and libraries that you don't control (or fully understand). And it's easier to keep using them rather than think about what it would take to make things run well and invest in that future. (You may not even have the ability to make that decision).

Luckily, it does seem that people are becoming aware of the issue, at least in some circles. I've now seen a number of articles with titles like "Why I have turned my back on the church of Object Oriented Programming," and with people like Mike Acton speaking at cppcon [2] to talk about data structuring, hopefully the next generations of application developers will be equipped to make things fast again.

I learned quite a bit from the simple message passing in ZZT-OOP as well as some about timing and inserting new information into logic loops. Most of my programs were closer to what would be done in Twine today, which makes me optimistic about the generation of future programmers that framework is creating.
Some people may have more than one test.
In various places I have worked we used Red color soldermask to indicate that the PCBAs were in early prototype stages(EVTs,DVTs) and once the final designs were released for manufacture(PVT) they were Green in color. This also was used to indicate that these boards were RoHS compliant. Again, this might have been very industry specific(Medical devices in my case) and YMMV. IN another FAANG place that I worked our ODMs who also worked with Chinese Fab houses started out with Green soldermask. Nowadays I find it fascianting that one can order preactically any solder mask color one chooses to, though i have a special affinity towards pink.
Thanks for putting words in my mouth.

My point is that teachers do not become teachers to do paperwork. They become teachers to teach. However, their job is defined by government administrators who measure everything by how much paperwork is done.

Teachers are receiving the wrong training and have the wrong expectations, so they are leaving.
No, then you end up in a situation like the SF Bay Peninsula where businesses are spread among small office parks that are hard to serve by transit, and it's impossible for families to live near where they work since the spouses may end up working in offices 30 miles apart, so at least one of them is in for a long commute and since there's no planning or zoning that kept their employer near transit, then they end up driving... or taking the employer sponsored shuttle bus if they are lucky enough to have that option.

If businesses were spread out near major transit lines, that'd be another matter, but as it is now, the density is too low to serve well, transfers are a hard sell to commuters, no one wants to commute 40 minutes by train only to have to wait 15 minutes to transfer to a bus that takes another 15 minutes to get them to work.

VTA transit tries to serve a huge area with light rail, but everything is so spread out and there are so many stops that it takes forever, you can take light rail the 12 miles from downtown San Jose to Mountain View, but it'll take over an hour with 28 (!) stops in between. You could bike faster.
At this point, they're usually green because they're usually green. It's the most common mask color, therefore the cheapest. Also, oddly enough, not only do different mask colors have different achievable resolutions (minimum line widths) - some colors don't stick to the PCB as well!
I found Kafka easier to set up. RabbitMQ is a bit finicky when it comes to config, monitoring, administration, but it's pretty okay, and works well enough if you really need AMQP semantics (selective ack of messages).

That datasheet is unclear about what exactly is required to get that 1GHz+ performance; my naive reading is that the CL=2pF case is half of another gate's input capacitance, which seems implausible.

OTOH, if CMOS compatibility isn't a problem you can go waaaaay faster with things like this:

Can you please not post in the flamewar style to Hacker News? It leads to dumb discussion and, worse, it damages the container here.

Generic ideological tangents are particularly tedious and off topic. We don't need yet another flamewar about "Western civilization" or "the value of reason" or whatever. An internet forum is not capable of producing anything new about anything so grandiose—only pomposity and anger.

I have an MA in history and now I'm a software engineer. I agree with pretty much everything you said.

However, when people who plan to major in history ask me for advice I tell them to major in something more marketable and make history their minor. I would recommend the same thing to any prospective humanities major. The humanities are wonderful but you can be exposed to them while pursuing a marketable major that will make your life after college a lot easier.

I'm just trying to get a bit more precise.

You're saying that the rate of growth in the standard of living would be curtailed, and that the degree of curtailment would be sector dependent? If so, then I definitely agree.
Sorry, the quotes I address for better context:

1) “Just to use an extreme example where every single person actually is a genius. Now imagine what happens when most people are ordinary.”

My capitalization caveat for ordinary entrepreneurs was to preempt the response that ordinary people can’t afford to quit their day jobs.

2) “To me, people giving up many of their freedoms to work in a higher-level form of organization is something positive, and I think we actually need more of it.”

I disagreed. We need more disagreeableness in society and less conformity. Anyone can but not everyone will ;).
Nope. Suburbs of Seattle. Mortgage was partially paid down (to obtain a lower APR) and refinanced. But I don't consider the principal balance on my mortgage as "expense". I consider it basically free money that I can keep in index funds and make money. Whereas the amount for healthcare that we pay for two reasonably healthy adults is just obscene IMO (and it goes up 20% in 2019).
My parents once tried a rate-chart system as well. However, completing everything on the chart (full of stuff I really had no desire to do) would max out around $5/week. Realistic earnings from this system were far less. I soon gave up, and simply focused on other non-chore-based ways to make money that were far more profitable for my time.

I think part of the problem with many chore/allowance systems is that its based on the parents' concept of money when they were kids, not adequately adjusted for inflation. So once the kids have some other way of earning money, the parents' system becomes a waste of time.
I can’t see MFT contention mentioned once. That’s what absolutely and totally destroys small file write performance. This affects source operations, WSL, compilers, file storage, everything.

And that’s so architecturally tied to the guts of NT you can’t fix it without pushing a new NTFS revision out. Which is risky and expensive.

Which is incidentally why no one at Microsoft even seems to mention it I suspect and just chips at trivial issues around the edges.

Bad show. NTFS is fundamentally broken. Go fix it.

Edit: my experience comes from nearly two decades of trying to squeeze the last bit of juice out of windows unsuccessfully. My conclusion is don’t bother. Ext4, ZFS and APFS are at least an order of magnitude more productive and this is a measurable gain.
> I reserve my right to say no to violent video games, too much junk food, etc.

this a great way to make them want both even more albeit without ever learning the restraint that comes from finding their own limits, probably as the result of one or more bad decisions. the biggest flaw i see in the planning of most prospective parents is that they fail to acknowledge their children will not be confined to their little garden of eden. the reality is that they'll have have friends with parents that exist outside your perfect moral codex (and some who are frankly just negligent) who will let them play all those games and drink as much soda as they want. i've never seen a parental media embargo actually have it's desired effect, but the kids who never learned to handle their shit where always immediately apparent. when you set such restrictions, all you're really doing is rejecting the responsibility to actually teach your children & hoping they figure it out on their own.

I'd fully agree with you if we were talking about small entities. Maybe we can not expect every citizen to fully learn the details and pitfalls of all those financial constructs available and thus want to protect them with regulation. But when we are talking about nation-states... whom else can we expect that kind of due diligence from to make properly informed decisions and understand the consequences if not governments of nations, representing millions of people?

Lets imagine some democracy votes an incompetent fool into their highest office, who starts making "bad deals". Would you expect other countries to not agree to those deals for reasons other than their own interests?

Same issue with WxWidgets, which is otherwise great - AIUI, it was started as a C++98-ish library with support for lots of pre-standard compilers, and a lot of its deep weirdness is a direct consequence of that. OTOH, at least it has good bindings for other languages like wxPython.

Ultima Underworld was released before Wolfenstein: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultima_Underworld:_The_Stygian...

But Wolfenstein had lower requirements by not supporting the same amount of geometry variation.

Hovertank/Catacomb were released even earlier than the two and done with some of the same tech as Wolfenstein I believe.
Any explanation as to why this should not be used for games without perfect information? As an example, why couldn't the face-down card in poker be modeled as part of the MCTS?
that's one attitude.

the other is that it's an opportunity for flow, to improve your surroundings, to keep things nice, etc.

i like the list above, and don't have any issues getting my 14 (almost 15) year old to do chores.

but it's important at the beginning to do the chore together, and to make sure they understand how to do it, and why you'd do it.

then chore time can be shared time, where the flow of the house is to get some chores done.

then it's a balance, as in, "i'll do dishes, you clean the bathroom..."

it needs to be a cooperative function of the household, where everyone is visibly contributing.

we run a pretty minimalist house and lifestyle, but we gotta keep the house. together.
Performance is a tradeoff. Sometimes shipping a feature is more important. Sometimes cross-platform support matters more than native speed. Sometimes performance optimizations are a distraction from other, more important, work.

Man you’re not wrong, but imho it’s a pretty bleak world where you have to have the competence as an independent consultant to survive the last 20ish years of your career. No doubt many of us can attain that, but I’d venture to say that the majority of people can’t. Whether mental defficiency, physical limitations, etc, there are a lot of curveballs in life that don’t set most people up to fit this role.
I love that OSH Park (https://oshpark.com/) uses purple soldermask. It's a fairly unusual soldermask color, but they use only purple. It looks great with gold plating, and it gives a satisfying sense of branding to for open source hardware and prototyping.

Small but meaningful advantage in a manual application:

* Guiding the user to guide a complex machine through a precise sequence of steps in order to achieve a goal, such as reading mail or writing a letter

Automation:

* Natural language recognition, shell scripting

Economy of scale:

* Beautiful formatted text has lost its value due to being ubiquitous, and more and more document processing consists of copying and pasting in an e-mail program

I had a university professor in the transportation department (technically “Operations Research”) who used to joke that transportation policy was mainly receptive to emotional arguments about children. “We should increase investment in autonomous vehicles. But, oh! The children!” He would cry out in class, making all the students chuckle. I thought he was joking! Reading through the article and the comments, I think he may not have been joking, but merely wryly cynical after many years of trying to research and advocate.
Amen brother. I know. Unfortunately, those above me don't allow me to do it.

I've read about South & Central America's attempts to move towards the left and how after each attempt the US responded by spending millions to bring down legitimate democratic movements, or even worse installed devastating puppet right wing regimes with chilling affects that we still see today.

Regardless, my point was simply that the fear mongering against socialism bled into a fear of social welfare programs in general. If you took my comment as advocating for changing the US to socialism then I was unclear with my intent.
a baire category is an old-timey synonym for a baire space. It's related to topology & analysis, not algebra (like category theory). In the modern theory we can make an analogy (but it is just an analogy!) between 'categories' of (complete non-empty) metric spaces on the one hand, and measure spaces (of positive measure) on the other, as follows:

metric spaces: measure spaces:

first category zero measure
second category positive measure
residual full measure
baire measurable
I take it you didn’t grow up in church. Hear me out: Audiophilia is a combination of technophilia and ritual, and it’s no surprise that Japan is the center of the audio technology world, given its culture.

All sound perception is subjective. In “MP3: The Meaning of a Format,” the author sites a study that showed college students preferred the sound of 128 MP3 over “lossless” or “HD” audio, probably because that’s what they cut their teeth on. This is why we have mastering with blown-out loudness and compression, even on CDs.

For others, though, even secular people, music is sacred. The quest for the perfect sound through fiddly nobs and fancy cables is like building a personal cathedral.
It’s all subjective, but there’s no denying that ritual enhances it.
I like the improve your surroundings idea and try to teach my 7 year old about it. See a dirty dish, don't walk by, wash it, then move on. See dirt on the floor pick it up. Stuff like that.
I think those things we’re “wrong” about are a very key component to our wealth and innovation. We have a system that funnels talent and labor up through the chain to create more and more profit for the top. I mean think about our visa program - it’s literally designed to scrape the top % of talent from everywhere else in the world, while underpaying is pretty much guaranteed.

I really don’t see these problems getting anything but worse as time goes on.

My SO quit HS STEM teaching recently, so I have at least some idea of the modern teaching environment. The issue, for my SO, was pay and benefits vs. hassle. My SO has a PhD and decided to give back to the community at an 'impoverished' school. Ho boy, was that a mistake. The first school was a terrible experience and my SO went gray from the place. Though there are a few parents that are as described in the parent comment, the vast majority of parents were all but useless. The HS my SO taught at, and I am not making this up, has a mandatory grading format for every single test/HW given: multiple choice only, only 4 choices are allowed. Combining that with the faux-restorative-justice [0] grading scale, where a 25% score in a class was considered 'passing', and even a goldfish could pass the classes. Yet still, the graduation rate was ~30%, only because of the Air Force Base nearby. Just trying to get the kids to even take the test was impossible, let alone the truancy. The teacher drop-out rate by December was ~50%. Neighboring schools had teacher drop-out rates near 90%. Yes, teacher drop-out rates. Thing is, poverty and racism and violence suck really bad. The many of the parents were desperately poor, ~80% of the children were on free and reduced lunch, and many of those would not eat all weekend long, let alone the apple vs Cheetos 'food desert' debate. Then the physical abuse of the children comes in, and 'home' is not a safe place at all. Then the sexual abuse kicks in, and home is REALLY not a safe place for a some of the teen girls my SO taught. Then you have the flagrant use of phones, the sexting, the porn use, the gore, etc. in the middle of 40+ child classrooms. It was/is a mad-house. It's no wonder all the more well off folks refuse to send their kids to public schools. God knows we would/will.

And my SO, with a PhD and therefore 'top' level seniority in the union pay-scale, made ~40k in a large, expensive US city with median houses at ~0.5 million. The benefits were, otherwise, ok-ish. No dental, no vision. The pension (yes, they still have one!) has been gutted since 2008 and is massively underfunded, so a total-write off.

Now my SO works in the field that the PhD was/is in and pulls ~80k with amazing benefits/401k. Teaching, like my SO had to do, was in no way worth any of it. My SO did time in 'service' to the local community and now considers the dues paid.

This scheme would not have succeeded if people preferred public transit to driving.

Honestly it's not hard to see why it succeeded. Back in the early postwar period, driving was cheap and easy, parking was plentiful, traffic was light, and the new interstate highway system made long-distance car travel practical.

Even if the motorist groups had not lobbied for it, cars would have taken over anyway because people liked them so much.
Quantum supremacy is not merely about quantum computers performing tasks better than classical computers. It's about quantum computers achieving a superpolynomial speedup over classical computers, such that classical computers can't feasibly perform the task in a reasonable amount of time for all inputs.

That's an important distinction because it's significantly more difficult to achieve a fundamental asymptotic improvement instead of an iterative speedup for the same factor. If a quantum computer completes a task with complexity O(2n) that a classical computer requires O(10n) to complete, you don't have quantum supremacy. If your quantum computer can accomplish a task in O(2n) that your classical computer needs O(2^n) to perform, you've got supremacy.

Given that nuance, I wouldn't say it may be a matter of time before we demonstrate quantum supremacy. There is still an undercurrent of skepticism in the research community.
