> It's roughly comparable to spending all R&D perfecting vacuum tubes in the 1940's

Vacuum tubes continued to be improved all the way up into the early 1960s, long after transistors had taken hold:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compactron

One in particular was used mainly in television sets, all the way up into the early 1970s:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuvistor

...it competed with transistors, and was almost as small as some of its contemporary transistor cousins.

Even today, you can't rule out the vacuum tube - for some things, there isn't any substitutes:

...and new ideas for the old technology are being investigated:

Thanks, glad to hear you enjoyed the article!

I'm currently working on applications in road safety, and have also recently taken up an interest in learning about interpretability and fairness in machine learning models (for instance, I really loved this paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.11279 and am working on making an easily accessible implementation of it).

Another thing that caught my attention is how deep learning is being used to build new developer tools, such as models that read code and automatically generate comments.

There's just so much ground to cover, simply because deep learning is such a versatile, universally applicable method.

At my company we've just finished migrating our Android builds from CircleCI to Buildkite (we did the iOS migration in December).

I've been very happy with Buildkite so far. The web interface fits my mental model of how things should work much better than CircleCI's ever did.

Our primary reason for switching was CircleCI's unpredictable and high costs on the iOS side (per minute billing combined with slow builds -> monthly fees in the price range of a new Mac mini).

Our Android builds are now about 10 times as fast at the same price.

The savings and the performance benefits are of course wholly due to the bring-your-own-build-machines approach that Buildkite takes. I don't see that as much of a hardship, though, especially since CircleCI 2.0 removed a lot of the "it just works" magic in favor of your own build scripts and Docker images. Preparing the build agents is not significantly more work.

Asylum papers aren't citizenship, and do not give the rights a EU citizen has (I believe typically they don't allow to leave the country), so the UK can freely choose if it wants to let them in or not.
I think there is more to it than pure compile time. It can affect responsiveness enough that it becomes disturbing.

From there it can mean using fewer plugins, disabling part of the static code checks, doing less full debugging etc.

I remember how activating the debugging flags wouldn’t work on some projects as the machine couldn’t handle it memory wise.

All of these have a compounding effect that is non trivial.
Hmm ... I remember when Perl was king and Python was the shiny new thing. I watched Python supporters belittle Perl as "line noise" and other quite silly descriptions. They were all proud of "there is only one way do to it" versus the linguistic Perl way of "there is more than one way to do it."

I am experiencing something of a sense of schadenfreude over defense of Python against a newcomer. 20 years on, Perl is still in widespread use, still unbeatable for its growing use cases. I don't wish to speculate where Python will be 20 years from now. I do know that Fortran will still be around. That's about the only sure thing.
Ditto on the touchpad issues. Have a 2016 XPS 13 (1st or 2nd year of the new design) that I ended up sending in 3 times for repairs due to the touchpad. Jittery, can't scroll, unreliable with right clicks / two finger clicks; ruined the experience for me. I eventually gave up sending to the factory because they were all equally dysfunctional.

-Many issues with power management, where I would close the lid and it would sleep, only to wake up later randomly. I would find it in my backpack blazing hot with fans at 100%.

-This was the 4k model, and at that point windows barely supported that resolution so the experience was awful with all but the most robust apps. Any legacy app was unusable. I expect this is better now.

-The speakers on 2/3 gave off a poppy, static sound during boot.

-Network connectivity is horrible. Sometimes the adapter would just turn off, requiring a restart. Resuming from sleep would take a full 60 seconds to connect to known networks. Insane

I did some perf testing of van’s across azure, gcp and aws.

Gcp was always exactly the same perf, on the button exactly.

Azure was all over the place, fast then slow then fast then slow.

Aws was in the middle.

If you want guaranteed perf then go with gcp 100%
Its baked into ASPNET Core, and its still a pain in the ass.

Even though the middleware handles JWT validation, cookie storage, redirects etc (which are a big part of it) there are still a tonne of little details to OAuth that clients need to know enough to specify:

- what grant flow are you using (code, hybrid, implicit, resource owner etc.. all are valid for different and overlapping scenarios, based on how secure you want to be and how much hassle you want your users to experience)

- client id and secret management, and registering this with your server

- refresh tokens: i.e. how do I prevent my user needing to log in every 15 minutes without making my jwt last an insecure amount of time.

etc. etc. etc. I've built OAuth/OIDC into dozens of apps, and have deployed my own identity providers (not rolled my own, thank the gods, just used a framework for the server side) and its still the bane of my development existence.

2x top 1% of income would be like 900k household.

It is more rare for a single household to have two extremely high paid professionals, so a single income of 350-500k is not 2x of 1% income. It is in the 1% (~420-450k household or so).

Also 350-500k sounds about the right range for senior-ish at top large tech company as a software engineer.

So the same old story from pretty much every other sector of the economy. America loves its monopolies and oligopolies and does everything in its power to promote their creation, including spreading bullshit about the how the market will make everything and everyone perfect forever and ever and grant everyone eternal life. Or however else they choose to describe the complete and utter chaos that is markets. It's amazing what getting even a small percentage of the population to believe in one's delusions will achieve.
This is excellent. Not only for the subject matter but the quality of writing. I often take an article like this, distill it into my own (usually fewer) words and save it as a text file. This one I kept "distilling" only to realize, nope, nope, the way he said it was more exact/precise/correct.

It’s much easier for me to automatically download and add all the shows into Plex and use its library management for all media.

If I had a legal way to do it I would, Plex has plugins for example I watch NFL trough a plug-in which is linked to my account, I also watch BBC content through the iPlayer plugin, as well as other content such as podcasts for example from multiple sources.

If Netflix and Prime has an official plugin that would allow me to link my sub and add that content to the Plex library I would do that in a heartbeat.
Well, they also withhold information in their insurance files. Maybe for a good reason. This story is crap though.

this is a challenge. at this point the word itself is polluted.

Location isn't irrelevant but for both locating in a less fashionable location and teams that are at least somewhat distributed, you probably have to budget for T&E. Traveling to events/meetings aren't a panacea but they can fill in a lot of gaps. I get your basic point though.
You contacted HP support for a Dell laptop... That might be the problem ;)
In the past dell has changed the wifi chip and GPU on the linux variants they sell. I'd check for those differences whenever you buy. In particular the intel wifi has a much better linux driver than anything else dell sells in laptops.

MySQL 8.0.14: A Road to Parallel Query Execution Is Wide Open
Which the media reported was exageration
The problem is that the information asymmetry implies that you might be worth 95k in the market, but you're much less likely to know that than the company making the offer, and accept 80k not realizing you've lost out on 15k. It gets further against you if they do things like asking your previous pay.

In general, you would expect salary negotiation to be worse for any given employee, because they have limited tools to research with compared to the hiring company, and far more limited (man) hours to do that research.

I would also imagine negotiation still exists, but now more emphasized on the extra benefits, eg PDOs, medical plans, bonuses, etc.

And ofc the added negative that the company can hide unfair practices, eg underpaying particular groups, or hiring someone's kid for 2x the pay, or whatever.

The main negative is that someone who was skilled at salary negotiations now makes less, but presumably most people aren't skilled, making it more a net positive. The biggest concern tbh is if the whole industry was overpaying its workers due to the fog of war, and this suddenly cleared things up, and employees across the board take a hit
Ambassador Adds Support for Server Name Indication (SNI)
I think it's a demonstration of how identity politics can result in ever more fractionated interest groups. If you keep going with the finer and finer divisions, one might suppose that one must stop at the level of individual people. (1 Kings 3:16-28 not withstanding.) Then one needs to come up with a way of adjudicating between the conflicting interests of different individuals, based on individual rights.
Only argument I really buy when it comes to needing bleeding edge hardware is if you're doing something like game development where it's reasonable you might be compiling, testing, and running a big IDE.

This whole "productivity increase for saving 10 minutes" is a little silly, people take breaks, get coffee use the bathroom, etc. Most folks I know doing processing heavy stuff do it all on a remote server.

With a few exceptions, I think it really comes down to people want nice toys.
There's plenty of "systemic" racism/sexism/etc. coming from the left, though. Social engineering in general is a recipe for every kind of unintended consequences at the "systemic/institutional" level, and the left is huge on social engineering.

>You'll apply for a senior developer job, see that all the senior developers there make $95k (or whatever), and you're either okay with or you're not.

But then one senior developer would claim that they are better or different than every other senior developer, and negotiation would return. Sure, Tim might be willing to accept the average rate of $95, but Jim worked as a staff engineer at Google, and so on.
Well a language could have more expressive and clean macros that can still access compiler some variables.

What's worse is the 4k screen is a touch screen and very power intensive. When I looked a few months ago it took the expected battery lifetime from 20 hours to 12 hours. What's worse is that also meant you got a glossy screen instead of a matte. I passed.
Prior to 60x I would agree, but nowadays I personally prefer the look and feel of FireFox. I haven't noticed any real clunkiness outside of Google sites like Gmail either. Chrome might still be smoother, but I haven't used it in over a year now, and I don't miss it. That's the key part for me, FF works well enough that I don't feel like I'm settling.

And I completely agree with you regarding ideological reasons to use FF. You don't have to be a zealot to value your privacy.

Are there buses in Boston? I lived there, and I wouldn't know. Buses are not something I'd contemplate using.

From experiences in other cities, where I looked into the matter:

Buses are too hard to use. Buses often stop on an unexpected side of the street, get rerouted, get cancelled, and have horribly complicated schedules. Routes even vary moment by moment. The crime situation is worse. The weather protection is worse.

I've never known anybody who would use buses. Buses are just noisy things that block traffic, damage pavement (proportional to 4th power of mass), and belch lung-clogging soot. AFAIK, they drive around empty, except that sometimes they serve as homeless shelters.
Almost all agencies have a policy of communicating potentially sensitive information via cell phone. There is already a balance of an informed public and protected privacy.
Until recently there were pockets of "interesting" places for kids to screw around . If there wasn't some forested land there was an abandoned factory or dead construction site (e.g. the pit in parks and rec). That sort of stuff is fenced off (or otherwise made hard to access) much more thoroughly these days and people are much more likely to call the cops if they see unattended kids poking around.
I was curious to see what the OFCCP asked for and it seems like an insanely huge undertaking to compile it, which was probably why the court ruled "OFCCP's request was not reasonable and was unduly burdensome." My favorite one is a tie between "salary and job history for each employee going back to the founding of the corporation in 1998 for any long-term employees" without defining long-term employees (perhaps OFCCP did define it?) and "the name, address, telephone number and personal email of every employee" in the 21,000-employee 2015 snapshot or the 19,539-employee 2014 snapshot.

I've got an interesting comparison here: I have a 2nd hand x220 thinkpad, 10 years old. This machine serves me very well today on linux and KDE. I did give it an SSD and 16g ram. Otoh, most of the time it is forced on the lowest CPU speed to get some extra battery.

My previous employer gave us recent laptops. But it has a virus scannerbogging it down to unusable slowness. It has tons and tons of agents for licensing, network security, proxies,etc... It has draconian group policies eating away speed. It has SCCM scanning the whole hard drive on a regular base, which of course awakens tje virus scanner just for some bonus slowdown. I dreaded developing on that beast, and coworkers tended to copy code to their personal laptop, just to get some work done.

Now on paper, that work machine was a lot better than my thinkpad. In reality however...

Having a Yubikey permanently installed, I can say that on the 9370, I don't miss USB Type A ports, but I definitely wouldn't be using this as a daily laptop if it had one fewer (two total) USB Type C connectors.

That would effectively mean I have zero ports free when charging and with my permanent Yubikey plugged in. It's never been an issue in practice, but I also wish that Dell would remove the ambiguity and make them all TB3 ports.
I'd love to agree with that, but I think you're underestimating the impact the FDA and other US regulators have in Canada. It is possible that Canada will reorient to serve the asian/european market more, but right now most trade ends up going south of the border.

Curious about a couple points:

- How does the 3D scanning work? Presumably photogrammetry? What kind of accuracy are we talking about here in terms of typical measurement tolerances?

- The frames are actually custom-fit? Are they machined or 3D printed or do you just have access to many permutationsof a given frame?

Could this possibly be any more obvious in its virtue-signalling?
> Any system that can be achieved with humans can also be achieved with AI.

I hope you meant it the other way around.
Not sure you can do it mathematically/statistically, or at least you can't guarantee that, and I think that's part of the point of the critique.

What's better is to explicitly justify the reasons behind why the algorithm was written/used, surface the assumptions, and periodically/regularly challenge those assumptions to see if they are still true.

For example, a bunch of like-minded settlers settle a new geographical area, and then make governmental decisions via some fair consensus algorithm among the people in the government. The surrounding population gets more diverse. The government continues to make decisions the same way it always has, using the same people. The algorithm is sound, but the underlying assumption (that the algorithm/government fairly represents the surrounding population) has become wrong over time.
Yeah - that makes sense. We're working this into our FAQ / help desk copy, but it should be more prominent.
