It's a bunch of people with insane degrees (literally a PhD in "romantic comedies", WTF why is this even possible) living in places they can't afford and writing nonsense.

These people loved telling factory workers and especially coal miners to "learn to code". You could tell there was a certain smug glee, taking perverse pleasure in the fact that aging white males (can't imagine any of the other coal miners) in MAGA hats (all coal miners wear them all day long, right?) would have to get educated and somehow enlightened.

Now these writers are annoyed that people on Twitter are saying they should learn to code. Well... that's just funny, and very well deserved.

Personally, I'd rather they didn't all learn to code. Steel mills are hiring. Mao said to make steel.

Basically because that's what your contract agreed to. I have something similar. I have 3 sick days per year and if I don't use them they become vacation PTO for next year. Regular pto doesn't roll over but sick days do.

This isn't a layoff of journalists, its a layoff of custodians of low-brow content farm writing. If that's all, then the main problem in the journalism-apocalypse is that these people were called journalists in the first place.

I'm not sure how your comment is relevant. Brakenshire suggested that you could buy a type of cheese that's marketed as a specific kind of cheese, only to find that it is completely different in consistency, texture, and flavor. I'm saying that's not likely with parmesan cheese due to the fact that you can see it. I've had Parmigiano-Reggiano and a multitude of other less authentic Parmesan cheeses, 100% of the time if it has looked similar and been marked as parmesan it tasted like it was the same general type of cheese as Parmigiano-Reggiano, even if it wasn't as good. He was describing an experience where the cheese tastes nothing like what its supposed to because it is something completely different.

The packaging is relevant because its impossible to make the same mistake with Parmesan cheese because if it looks like a block of parmesan cheese its going to taste very similar to parmigiano-reggiano.

I don't recall ever saying that its the same thing as officially certified and/or marketed parmigiano-reggiano. Perhaps you should read comments and the comments they were responding to more closely.

I had a very protracted DPDR experience start around when I was 12, and slowly dissipated over the course of a decade. I woke up one morning, and it was like I was slapped out of my body. It's like I was piloting a Me(ch) suit.

I wasn't seeing through my eyes. They were transmitting, with perceivable lag and some kind of acknowledged overlay, their sensory data. It's like being embedded in _extremely advanced_ and nearly seamless VR, but also hyper aware of the "nearly" part. It's like the Uncanny Valley effect, but directing it toward your own sensory system.

It doesn't feel quite real anymore, and you don't know why. So that's probably how I'd convey it. "You know the Uncanny Valley? Imagine everything you experienced felt that way."

It's uniquely awful.
I think you missed my point: hallucinating implies thinking. So saying that we're hallucinating that we think is saying that we are not thinking but meta-thinking hallucinated thoughts.
No. It needs a good client.
One way they could have survived was by not cheerleading for CNN, NYTimes, Washingtonpost, etc when the big boys were demanding fb, google, etc censor content and instead drive traffic to "authoritative" sources ( AKA themselves ).

People forget that smaller media firms like Buzzfeed, Vox, Huffpo, etc all thrived under a neutral FB, Google, etc. Remember when these companies were supposed to be the "new media"? What changed?

Buzzfeed did this to themselves. They demanded that fb, google, etc censor and pick favorites and they chose the big boys over buzzfeed.

What buzzfeed didn't realize is that their competition isn't infowars, breitbart or foxnews. Nobody who read those sources would ever waste their time on buzzfeed. Their competition was the NYTimes, CNN, MSNBC, Washingtonpost, etc. Now that buzzfeed has successfully helped these large media companies get preferential treatment with FB, Google, etc, there is really no room for buzzfeed. The big boys took buzzfeed, vox, huffpo, etc's market share. I bet these large "authoritative" companies are seeing a rise in traffic and increasing ad revenue. I wonder where that increase is coming from? Infowar fans? Highly unlikely.
So only those who "defend democracy" are real journalists? Which in turn also means all journalists have to be biased...

I've done the 'try a different coffee shop' thing. It's cost-effective, but it's unpredictable. Let's say you arrive at 8AM; you'll face the morning rush of commuters, wait a long time to place your order, look around and realize there are no free tables.

Or, you arrive one day and your "usual table" is taken. Or that each time you get up to use the bathroom, you risk giving up your table to someone looking for a place to sit. Or that after a week or so, the baristas know you by name and you start feeling self-conscious about your squatting.

All these things seem small but can erode away your potential productivity.

I've often seen this with coding -- another reason (if you needed another) to avoid premature optimisation is, in my experience, it often specialises code to a special purpose, and can make it harder to make changes later.

Often a simple implementation of an algorithm can be within 10% of the performance of a much fancier one, and is much easier to adapt later to a new use. Even if the less optimal implementation is ten times slower, that still doesn't matter if it isn't on the critical path.

Not really. The point of calling them sick days is that there is an understanding that an employee will use them only if she is sick. The limit is there because the business needs someone doing the job and after a person is sick for long enough, the business will have to find a replacement.
i feel a bit confused about this "disorder."

i spend hundreds of hours a year meditating to get rid of my sense of self. it is the best thing about the LSD experience too.

the idea that one is not in control of one's own actions is called "seeing the illusion of free will which is obvious to anyone who has ever seriously thought about the issue."

the idea that you are watching a movie about something that does not actually have a self is called "ego death" or "enlightenment."

Heterogeneous Information Network Embedding for Recommendation
Here's my check-list based on personal experience:

1. Is it road-tested for a few years at least? Unless you are in R&D or a high-risk start-up, don't volunteer to be a guinea pig. 5 years is my rule of thumb.

2. Are there successes in similar organizations? One size does NOT fit all. Make sure it's useful in your particular organization in terms of domain (subject matter), culture, and company size.

3. Do the benefits over-emphasize a few narrow factors while ignoring others? There's rarely a free lunch; most decisions are balancing various trade-offs. There are probably down-sides that vendors or fans don't want you to know about or failed to notice due to enthusiasm bias.

4. Does it over-extrapolate current trends? For example, just because more UI's are going mobile does not mean every business is throwing out their mouse and big monitors. You may be limiting yourself by trying to make your UI's both mouse-friendly and finger-friendly even though most actual business users will be on a desktop. It's not always good to keep up with the Tech Kardashians; they are not always rational or timely.

5. Does it require a big learning curve or lots of prerequisites? If the new technology turns out to be mostly a fad instead of a real improvement, a long learning curve or expensive investments will drain your time and budget. Look for incremental improvements first.

6. Vague buzzwords or promises: Lack of specifics and realistic examples is a sign you are being had.

7. Experimenting is fine & recommended, but don't do it on production projects. If possible, introduce it to production gradually.
If you got to the point of having a tree, but found them clumsy to work with, the first thing I'd suggest is to play with an AST explorer. https://astexplorer.net/ is quite good.

Picture the task of what you want to do in your head. Maybe you're writing a linter, and you want to enforce a rule like "never use the 'var' keyword". Write some example code and poke around in the explorer.

Another thing to keep in mind is that once you have a tree, usually you also want to have some tree traversal utilities, so that you can walk over the tree and optionally transform it.
I sort of experienced this. I was getting consistently good feedback as an IC, and my TD and line manager asked me to try out a lead role of a very small team. The idea was that I'd still have time to code as well, but in reality it involved way too much dealing with people and JIRA for my liking. I gave it a shot for 3 months, but really all I wanted to do was focus more on programming and growing as an individual contributor. In a 1-on-1 with my TD where I opted out of the role I told him there was no shortage of people who would love to be in a lead role, so they should just pick someone else. He commented that it's kind of a Catch-22, and that unfortunately most people who want a lead role aren't the same people that would be suitable for that role, and that people who tend to be good at those positions are ICs who naturally may not be that interested in them.

Luckily my company has a TD progression track for the more manager-y types and an SSE track for ICs, so that conversation was a great checkpoint of sorts where it became very clear which track was right for me.
No, but you can go on short-term (or long-term) disability at many companies. There's an unfortunate pooling of sick time/personal time/vacation time at many companies today. But, in the US, it used to be absolutely the norm to have separate PTO and sick days and you were only expected to use the sick days if you were sick. (And they typically didn't roll over.)

And, if you left for whatever reason, you were paid out your accrued PTO (which often had an accrual cap) but not sick time.
Congrats! How long did it take you guys to reach that MRR?
The big difference in the described case, of course, is that it's the user in control of the on/off toggles rather than it being uncontrollable.
So they take less risk so the startups they fund can take more. No surprises here?
Ad hominem attacks are the sign you have left logic at the wayside and are running on emotion. It is often a sign that your belief, true or not, has been reinforced with false logic, as when confronted with true logic you are unable to appropriately respond. Don't worry, we all get better with practice.
This is awesome news, congrats folks!! Have relied on hellosign over the years, including doing all of my home buying paperwork with it.
OK. It seems like it would be clearer if those were just called accruable vacation days or something.
Production technology today is capable of producing far more than can be consumed. This is a change from most of history, and it's why classical economics doesn't have the answers.

Capitalism is now market limited. There has to be buying power. People who are only marginal players in the economic system don't generate much discretionary buying power. As the CEO of WalMart has said, "Our customers are out of money".
This is both kinda true and kinda not; the allocator work will help with using the standard library data structures on a kernel heap, but many kernels write their own specialized structures anyway, so you’d make the kernel allocator fallible and it all works out.

> weird/unusual things with the GPU: terminal emulator, Postgres query acceleration, stripped down HTML engine, APL compiler

Exactly. People here mostly do general-purpose computations on them, despite “G” stands for graphics.

Search for “Graphics”, and the majority of top results are for CPU-based stuff, pixel graphics in terminal, python, Skia. There’re some results for GPU-based graphics, like graphic studies for MGS and GTA, but they’re minority.

I think graphics is how the majority of users use their hardware for, but it’s under-represented here.
The implementation of C++ exceptions is what is often called "zero-cost exception handling." However, the zero-cost actually turns out to be a lot of cost, just cost omitted from normal accounting.

The way zero-cost exception handling works is you build this large table that says "if there's an exception where the program counter is in this range, jump to this point." There's no added code to the program in normal control flow (hence the name), but when you get an exception, you have to do a mildly expensive unwind and table lookup to get to the code. The table itself also comes with the price of requiring extra relocations for all of the PC offsets, which also comes with a startup hit.

One of the main costs is that unwinding through a function is assumed for all functions, unless proven otherwise. This means, even if you're not using exceptions yourself, the compiler still needs to generate code to catch an exception after every function call, run all destructors in reverse order, and then rethrow the exception. And remember that destructors and constructors are themselves function calls, which therefore might throw exceptions as well. Generating the code to actually do all of this destruction correctly requires adding code to the function to handle this that is not in the normal execution path, which can also cause issues with things such as instruction caches.

A final issue is that exception handling requires RTTI to be able to dispatch to different catch handlers. RTTI needs to be generated for every potential type (this includes POD structs, for example), which is again a codesize bloat issue. For types that have virtual functions, the RTTI information need to be included in the vtable, which means they're not going to be eliminated by dead global elimination passes (as unreferenced POD structs would tend to be).

In short, RTTI and exception handling require a lot of extra tables that have to be generated even if you don't use them. Furthermore, a major concern for kernels, exception handling requires unwind support, which is generally not part of the kernel library repertoire and can be tricky to do manually. Compiling without exceptions and without RTTI is not unusual for large C++ applications for these reasons.
As someone who has spent a lot of time on this problem: you don't want to store tags as attributes/resource forks/streams/etc in a traditional filesystem. The single most important characteristic for a tag-based organization system is that search operations must be extremely fast and cheap. Walking a hierarchical filesystem and stat'ing a bunch of files to discover their tag information is anything but cheap.

What you want is to store the tag metadata heap in an easily indexed structure (i.e: a search tree.) That heap then just contains pointers into content addressable storage. You can kind of build such a thing on top of existing filesystems which support hardlinks, however I'd advise against that for the metadata itself. Once you have the power of tagged content a natural evolution is querying that data using set operators. You will inevitably re-invent (some approximation of) SQL once you arrive at this discovery.

D3 5.8.0 release
But how does that solve the problem I had, exactly? If you later find out that your equity is on paper worth a lot of money, and you want to pursue other opportunities, do you just leave the potential money behind because of an assumption you made several years before which turned out to be statistically much more unlikely than the current expected outcome?

When your startup is at series E and your options on paper are valued 7 figures and all the investment rounds were raised with clean terms (see linked post), I find it debatable to still hold on to the assumption that they should be valued at $0, like they were at Seed/Series A when you joined, and so be willing to walk away from them rather than dealing with painful vesting/exercising conditions that were initially set in your contact, no?

When you play the lottery, you expect $0 back, but you also expect that in the rare case you win you won't have to pay taxes on your win years before being able to get the prize, otherwise you just wouldn't play at all.
Almost everything at this level of consumer has a TOS that allows the larger company/organization to basically change anything. And if it didn't most customers still wouldn't have the legal resources to challenge it. One of those interesting quirks of consumer free markets.

I'm always impressed by people's creative ability to put a negative spin on almost anything. Particularly to generate hate-clicks.

In this case they're implementing Seamless Updates, which should substantially reduce downtime and improve roll-backs during update installation (a major complaint) but instead of focusing on the benefit, they focus on the disk space loss.

The reason it takes up space on Windows, Android, and Chrome OS is that the reserved area holds a chunk of the operating system which is updated in the background before restart. When a restart occurs, the reserved and active slices are swapped (and reversion can be rapidly conducted for failures/roll-backs).

This is a nice quality of life improvement for a common complaint.
I am using dynamic languages and have for years, but I don't see this as something that would help me in my work. I mean, autocomplete is nice sometimes, but when I know what to write and where, those little autocomplete boxes just get in the way. Maybe I'm also not the target audience though. Which is good - after reading how they started I would never willingly install their software.
I remember in the late 90s when the place I worked at was all about JIT. Not compiling, but physical stock - having the items they needed just as they were needed. This was the Physical Plant for a large university campus, so considerable money was involved in storing and shipping goods.

The execs were delighted with the idea of saving money.

The grizzled workers just raised an eyebrow, made a few passive-aggressive comments about how, in their day, having the last box of something used because it was needed with no backup was considered a disaster waiting to happen, then shrugged and did as they were asked.

I left before I saw how it played out, but I suspect that there was some good trimming of backlogs and storage of materials that really could afford to wait, but far too many cases where JIT wasn't IT enough. It's like...creating a breeding ground for Black Swans.

The article made me think of that - high efficiency all the time means little-to-no-buffer for unusual needs.
