IMHO longevity is overrated. I would put importance of fighting age-related diseases (including tissue aging, immune and hormonal decline in particular) well above extending longevity in importance. I certainly don't want to live 200 years looking and feeling what is considered adequate to being this old but looking and feeling like a 25-35-years-old until I reach something near the age of 60 (of course longer is kind of better perhaps but if I had to - this is what I'd trade) and die quickly and easily without going through even slightest form of disability (defined by comparison to healthy young adults) and physical struggle seems like something I'd totally buy into.
I worked retail for over 5 years before starting my tech career and I’ve been a big advocate for Best Buy over the last couple of years as I’ve watched their in-store experience improve. At my local store the service is always awesome, they accept returns without a hassle, and I can order stuff online and they usually have it ready in less than hour. Their staff once spent over two hours with me resolving an issue and not once were they jerks about it.

I’ve been considering dumping my Prime account and one of the reasons I’d feel confident doing so has been my good experiences with Best Buy as of late.
We continue to fight against “the wall” until he’s out of office. It’s nothing more than a campaign promise to rally his base and it dies with Trumps tenure.
As is typical of such articles, this is written from the point of view of a central bank. Low inflation is only a problem to central banks. Central bankers are bothered by low inflation because they can't cut interest rates below zero. The US and Europe inject money into the economy by having the central banks loan it out to commercial banks, who then loan it out at a profit. That's not the only way to do things. Japan uses large government-funded infrastructure projects to pump money into the economy.

The real problem is "secular stagnation". We just don't need that many people to make all the stuff. The US now has a huge population that's irrelevant, and acts as a dead weight dragging down wages. I've been saying this for over a decade, and it's now conventional wisdom, although it took way too long.

> Simply by increasing population, traffic, and pollution it would make the country worse off.

This doesn't at all seem obviously true to me. It rather seems obviously false: I find big cities more pleasant to live in than small towns, even though they have more of all three. More population seems like an inherent virtue to me. More traffic gets turned into more efficient traffic via public transit, or building denser and more walkable cities, or whatever, which I find more enjoyable than cars. More pollution is a side effect but a solvable one.

If your argument is the model of reality in your head, then you need to admit that the model of reality in lots of other peoples' heads is very different, and there's no reason that your model should win (unless you're claiming that your political opinions matter more than others'?).
Sorry, this is a bit of a pet peeve of mine when people argue that exponential economic growth can continue forever, which flies in the face of anything remotely resembling critical thought. It’s just so depressing that people are so in denial over basic features of reality. You know that bad things are about to happen when people can’t face reality.
I can’t help but admire people who create incredible intricate pieces of mechanical art hy hand. Not ever in my life could I hope to replicate even a crude, barely functional version of such a device. While I’m not a watch geek, the process and methodology behind creating these time-pieces is endlessly fascinating to me. I’d totally love to watch a documentary of someone doing similar work!
The docker story needs work. I use bhyve a lot and docker on Debian and OSX. I'd love to be able to do deployment to freebsd more easily.

Kubernetes needs a story.

Better pf examples would be nice. How to set up decent stateful Configs. How to self protect a host.

I've whined about BBR elsewhere. I won't repeat that here.

The filesystem story with zfs is fantastic. Snapshots made some stuff much nicer. I use a slideshow from the web to drive postgres on zfs deployment but that leads me to:

Zfs and sysctl kernel tuning need better stories. How to rightsize buffers to get max performance from things.

iSCSI needs a story. It's not able to do easy dual master live (failover modes are fine)

Pkg is good. Brew is better as a lived experience across upgrades.
> Somewhat counter-intuitively, a low unemployment rate is a lot more important to workers' overall incomes than a rise in wages (given typical variation in both).

That's generally true, but it's not an absolute, and it doesn't rule out paying higher wages while also maintaining the current level of employment. It's pretty clear from the data [1] that corporations are earning more than ever and not passing it on to employees.

> This is also why high real wages are so damaging when they lead to higher involuntary unemployment: they actively rob those who are most in need of their rightful incomes! It's why recessions make people angry and anxious for "something to be done", whatever that might be.

That's true, but doesn't apply. Real wages aren't even keeping up with inflation, and are decreasing relative to productivity [2], so it's silly to claim they're so high they're causing unemployment.

I'm on my third year of owning two Tiles: One pre-2018 Mate and one Slim. As usual, it came time to replace them, and Tile's reTile program doesn't offer a one-mate-plus-one-slim option (the closest is a two-plus-two). So, I got one through reTile, and the other by heading over to Best Buy. I didn't even consider buying it on Amazon.

Another time, I needed a 3.5mm headphone to Bluetooth transmitter for my Nintendo Switch. I checked Fry's, Central Computer, and Best Buy; Best Buy had it, so I got it from there.

In both cases, the choice was partially convenience, and partially not wanting another box (or padded envelope) being used up.

Well, okay, but there are multiple times 500 million people living in other countries growing up extremely not surrounding by Americans, and they are preparing to quash America's culture entirely in 100-200 years through economic dominance. Do you prefer that outcome?
The language has the keyword and the implementation.

Of course there are reasons to use a safety driver for some trips.

The point is that they won't do even a single trip without a safety driver. They've done some PR stunts - but they won't give a single real demo to a single real journalist without a safety driver.

Even with a safety driver, a few weeks before they "launched" a "commercial" "self-driving" service, they wouldn't let journalists pick their own destination.

That’s the tact that Oregon has taken, and I can see the logic in it. But as a doctor I find it more palletable to explicitly try to work in someone’s best interest than to send them to jail/prison. I am obviously biased, but I have seen hundreds of people get well and go on to live lives that they themselves would identify as more rewarding. Deprivation is, and should continue to be a very big deal. But when it becomes necessary, I’d rather that it be focused on the best interest of a person who’s not in a position to recognize their own circumstances.

Clearly it’s a value judgement and there’s no one right answer. It depends on which of two bad options you find least offensive.

Check out GFortran, it's 100% free as part of the GNU project. I believe the Intel Fortran compiler is also free (as in money, maybe not as in freedom). The speed argument does matter too--how many high frequency trading/fintech/big data/banking/engineering companies are built, at some point in the stack, on high-speed libraries written in Fortran? I don't know any numbers, but any company that uses numpy is transitively also using Fortran in their stack.

> they can do it, regardless of the quality of the content itself.

Yes they can do it but, not without consequences. I thought Bird Box was pretty lame and given a dozen experiences like these, it'd completely destroy their reputation for putting out decent content for me, and I'd unsubscribe in a world where non-original content was an important factor. (and looking at the media landscape, with content companies creating their own platforms, or publishing on competing platforms, that world is becoming more and more a reality).

It's a bit like saying that Apple can create a big software hype by pushing an iOS 13, just by pushing it as a notification on 1.3 billion iOS devices. But if iOS 13 is complete rubbish, they can only perform that 'trick' a few times before they lose customers.

That plus, one can wonder if they can actually do it. Bird Box indeed took on meme status, me and my gf only watched it because it showed up as a joke on our feeds about 20 times and we had nothing better to do one night while eating food and decompressing from work. There's plenty of netflix content that pretty much bombed, despite showing up for weeks on end on the Netflix front page whenever I logged in. This felt more like the Flappy Bird of movies, a gimmick, a meme, not the next Harry Potter or Game of Thrones that turns people into long-lasting fans of your content.
Isn't it just that it is hard to prove there's no aliasing in C, which can make it harder to vectorize?

git add, push, pull, fetch, bisect and rebase, along with git grep and log commands, are very easy to use and exceedingly rarely is anything else needed. Just use a rebase-only workflow and the cli essentially is self explanatory in terms of how your mutations affect the revisions.

Other commands like stash, checkout and branch are equally simple. It’s just a very simple user experience.

I think where people express confusion over git is that they don’t expect to be interact with revision history, rather just inflicting changes onto a head-only svn style repo.

People are mistakenly encouraged to bring that mentality to the table when it’s not useful. You need bring a mentality that you’re mutating and sculpting branches.

It’s like a beginner saying “snowboards are complicated” because they come in expecting it to be like a sled. You hear the same complaints about other systems like darcs and mercurial too, for the same reasons, even though each of those offers respectively super easy to use cli experiences as does git.

This is functionality that the terminal emulator reasonably should provide to enable games or other interactive applications. I believe that would solve the author's complaints. Some work has been done along these lines in both Kitty and iTerm2. Not everyone likes the idea because it breaks the basic abstraction of a terminal. I kinda like it, though, and I'm optimistic that the situation will improve in the coming years.

I can't believe no one has said it, but I have a theory that says working hard and making yourself inaccessibly busy is a new status symbol.

In a world where it's difficult to buy even the most modest of homes and unreasonable to buy a sports car if you have no home in which to put it, making yourself seem like you can't possibly get away from your desk because too many people need you is the nouveau status symbol.

Howard Shultz: “I am seriously considering running as a centrist independent”
On the flipside, back when Ottawa was the "Silicon Valley North" (I assume it's not called that any more -- that was a long time ago), I've had friends who took management roles in risky ventures, had the company crash and burn, and tried to find another management gig only to find that Ottawa was in a bit of a down turn. Finally they tried to get development roles, but couldn't land them because they had been in management for too long and nobody trusted their technical abilities.

It's easy to say in retrospect that a flip of the coin was successful or unsuccessful. Hard to say in advance. Having said that, I think it's sound advice to say that if you aren't getting the opportunities you want in you current situation, it might be a good idea to see if those opportunities exist elsewhere. Just be careful to weigh the risks and realise that survivor bias is a thing.

But we did get mouse events in the terminal and certainly those didn't exist back in the 70s. Or bracketed paste. It's not hard to imagine that there will be a standard developed (well, 5 standards, then 15 standards and eventually one will remain as the de-facto standard) for keyup events, if there was demand for it.

I am guessing they didn't expect to get laid off. Employment contracts can be tricky to negotiate, since at that point you usually want the job. It also isn't something most people do regularly or even know much about. Especially not if they are relatively young.
Like, I absolutely agree with you here. Languages are starting to stabilise when it comes to syntax, features are getting cross pollinated from other languages faster, etc.

I think it's wonderful. Developers can move between languages interchangeably, teaching burden is reduced, languages aren't dismissed because they lack feature X.
Yes.
This is easy to see in Julia, by comparing native arrays with StaticArrays.jl.
Native arrays operations are linked to OpenBLAS, while many StaticArray operations are unrolled (will have to get to a computer to see if that includes 5x5 inversion).
At the small sizes, BLAS is tens of times slower.
Especially OpenBLAS (MKL does better at small sizes).
There's a lot of overhead from things like determining optimal blocking structures.
I think they’re saying if they played loose with ethics in their management encouraging suspect reporting that one can expect the same ethics when it comes to their business end of things.

To a certain degree, what goes around comes around. In general Buzzfeed is a purveyor of fake news so the silver lining is that it will develop a reputation as an employer.

Yea.. that would make sense: be careful who you work for, lest the conditions of employment turn out to reflect a side of things you normally saw turned on others?
Ah, irony. Or maybe you could explain what's intuitive about the number of completely different things that for instance 'git checkout' is used for?

I like git, but the cli is only usable after a dash and a spoonful of aliases.
But can the client in HTTP/2 send more data to the server after it has received something, without having to send a full HTTP request? If not, I don't see how something like agar.io, which requires constant updates to the server on every mouse movement, can work without tremendous header overhead.

A Primer on Type Systems
Even though buzz feed is awful and just contributes to cultural obesity, they should pay people accrued pto. This is a lowlife move.
And when the weather is perfect and the snowplows always clear the roads on time, etc.

There are too many variables. It's incredibly difficult to get consistent on-time performance out of a train system which has far fewer variables to anticipate. It will never happen for cars even if they are self-driving.
Because not every employee was complicit in that....... And those that weren’t most definitely DO deserve their PTO.

The problem is when you say “same people” you’re just lumping everyone together and implying everyone at Buzzfeed news was trying to run articles that ruins a person’s life forever. That’s what you’re missing.

I wish that TLS 1.3 had mandated support for this going forward. Not just for public CAs, but also, I'd love to say "here is my company's internal CA root, only trust it for *.thecompany.example domains".
Because it's a company with at-will employment. Businesses are operational functions that maximize value for a pool of shareholders. Unless you're in the pool, you're a cost and a liability.
Sounds similar to Vice Media and their sexual harassment problem...

I really wish these companies did a lot better because honestly now I just feel cynical about paying attention to what they’re publishing that I just try and avoid online media altogether.

I often wonder, is it the case that strongly held views are correlated with poor understanding of the topic? I mean there is the Dunning Kruger effect, but if I understand correctly that shows a correlation between belief of ability and actual ability (though, not a linear function ;-) ). What I'm interested in is the estimate of certainty. Do people with less knowledge tend to have higher levels of certainty about their opinions in that area? In my experience it is true, but I'm not aware of studies that show this.
