> Also, if you're anything like me, I value money quite a bit over other conditions, so asking about salary up front is a must.

This is an important point. I'm not primarily money-driven, personally, so this isn't a question I typically ask. But if it's important to you, absolutely ask.

Not to say money isn't important. I do have a minimum salary that I'll accept, and I inform them of it when they ask (and they always ask). If an employer at least meets that, I'm good. Offering more money above that is nice, but isn't as big of a driver to me as whether or not I would enjoy working there.

Apart from the utter nonsense that this story is, 'preternatural' does not mean the same thing as 'supernatural'. By using an obscure word incorrectly, rather than making the author appear literate and educated it makes him seem silly and ignorant.

In a court of law, the judge isn’t allowed to do independent research unlike what you might have seen in the movies, they are simply allowed to listen to arguments on both sides and make a decision based on law.

A news article is like that in a court of public opinion where the public is the judge and the reporter is merely there to report on both sides of the argument, not supposed to be doing research on their own, it is up to the other side to fact check and add that to their argument, it isn’t the reporter’s job or even their place ethically.

There is definitely room for reporters doing fact checking and more involved investigative journalism, just not in that kind of article.
But LittlevGL is not written in Python. It is written in C.
From the website: "All LittlevGL functionality (such as rendering the graphics) is still in C. The Micropython binding only provides wrappers for LittlevGL API..."

The C interface of Micropython and CPython are different. So I would expect that you have to port/redo the bindings for this to work on CPython.

At a previous gig we tried to do this: port a computational graph that wasn't a neural network to tensorflow. It was a disaster. Tensorflow is very tightly optimized for the things Google think are important. if you fall off of those paths tensorflow is a god-awful slow tool to use. We saw a ~20x regression in performance.

in contrast, when we wrote bespoke GPU code for the graph, we saw a ~25x performance increase over relying on CPU plus MKL. I am being deliberately vague here and I cannot give further detail.

It's always humbling how much effort it takes to implement things. People with "great ideas" really are a dime a dozen. What's rarer is a person with the ability and discipline to carry an idea from conception to completion. "Idea Guys" are in the same space as dead beat dads. Go tend to your children and grow them into something marvelous. Don't neglect them while you continue to copulate elsewhere.
The only thing that was not "normal" was how late in the year it was before significant rainfall came. Look at the rainfall totals since like two weeks after the fire.

It's quite normal for this area to get next to no rainfall from Memorial day into October.
Just because we've been hearing it for a decade, doesn't mean it can't be true. Japan has been in a low interest rate environment for even longer and their economy isn't exactly overheating.

Maybe low interest rates are the new normal, they've been on an overall downward path for decades so it's not entirely a recent thing.

I don't really get raising interest rates to have more ammunition in a recession either. Sure, you have more room to cut later, but raising interest rates itself slows the economy down. Unless the stimulating power you get from cutting is more than slowing effect from raising, it doesn't seem like it gets you anywhere, since you're just digging a deeper hole that you need to get out of.

It's another thing if it's in conjunction with fiscal policy (looser fiscal policy, which then leads to raising rates, after which there's more room to cut in a recession). But then I think that's mainly an argument for having different fiscal policy and not just about raising rates.

Central bankers seem to be aware that not being able to lower interest rates is going to be problematic in the next recession (along with diminished QE effectiveness etc.). They aren't completely out of options to fight deflation (there's always helicopter money etc.) but we do seem to be in uncharted territory.
Oracle, with OCI, is working to crack the market. It has the kind of capital to be able to do it, but it's just insanely expensive. We're running out of companies that can possibly fund such work.

Not only do you have to have the physical infrastructure to launch a region (expensive in and of itself), you pretty much have to have the infrastructure to launch at the minimum two regions geographically separated in some form. Plus with data locality laws increasingly enter the mix (something that AWS never had to worry about until they were already a success), you increasingly have to build regions everywhere or customers can't use you. Frankfurt, for example, is a virtual given.

That's before you even start to consider all the engineering work involved writing the code to run the cloud services.

Its curious because they've already "dumbed down" WF a bit since the acquisition. Lots of the higher end products have been slowly disappearing from the shelves.

I used to make the trek to go to WF in the past essentially for their seafood counter. Now post-acquisition, there is really no need to, since there is no material difference from WF and a regular grocery store when it comes to seafood.

Will be interesting to see how this strategy plays out...will they boost WF foods back into premium territory? Or will WF simply be Grocery+ and their new venture (Half Foods?) will be Walmart+?
>Its a well known established fact that technology causes 'good' deflation. The number one cited example of this is the printing press,

I'm just going to be nice and tell you that you are severely conflating multiple issues here. Technological advancements have played literally no part in the monetary policy of the last decade. Monetary policies have largely been focused on making sure cash flow is first and foremost, present, and secondly consistent.
While true in the Paradise fire case, I just want to remind people that this doesn't apply to the Southern California fires. Here, fires are much more frequent and much larger, and thus fuel loads are less than in preindustrial times. Ignition sources are everywhere now, and Santa Ana wind events are more severe due to climate change.

So the challenge in SoCal is keeping an ecosystem intact with such frequent burns. And that our current fire suppression ability is not nearly enough.

The baseball player brought joy to other humans, which is the whole bottom-line point of the entire economic system.

Lyft has burned piles of investor cash to give people artificially cheap taxi rides; the wealth-transfer is zero-sum and it's actually worse than that because their dumping distorts the real transport market (and exacerbates the negative externalities of cars). You could argue they've done some genuine value creation by being a more efficient taxi dispatcher, but if there was any substance to that then they'd have a profitable business.

That's not exactly fair, the first decade+ of that pre-dates the public cloud.
> ...I've just realized, are you talking about the EGL API (as opposed to OpenGL)? I don't actually use that - I nearly always restrict myself to an OpenGL or GLES core profile (no extensions) and use a support library (nearly always GLFW3) to handle all interfacing with the local system in a platform independent manner. It just keeps my code sane and manageable. :)

OpenGL/GLES don't directly do anything with color spaces or gamut. It's part of the integration with the windowing system that does it. Which in the mobile usage is typically EGL, but desktop tends to do something else like WGL.

So sounds like you're just punting this decision over to GLFW3, and you're getting whatever behavior it felt like giving you. Which is probably sRGB or linear-sRGB.

> What it comes down to is that as a programmer, I just want to get my code working. Linear models on [0, 1] are easy to process and think about - 0 is off, 1 is on, and 0.5 is half way in between. If you want to add things together, you just add them together.

Easy to think about, but also wrong :)

If you want easy, you want linear extended SRGB, aka scRGB. This gives you [0, 1] in the colors you are typically familiar with. And it means when you display pure white, you're not shoving 1,000 nits into the face of a user with an HDR monitor. But it means your valid range becomes [-0.5, 7.5] instead.

> a color calibrated display

It doesn't matter how calibrated the display is if the source content isn't color aware. When you say glClearColor(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0), which color red is the display supposed to give you? It'd be broken if it just gave you the reddest-red it can display, because then your colors will never match when going between different gamut displays.

Anything that takes a color must also be given a colorspace or have a well-defined one. Otherwise nothing about color works. And if it's a well-defined single colorspace, that single colorspace needs to cover the entire visible spectrum (which extended sRGB does, but something like DCI-P3 doesn't), otherwise it'll just become obsolete when displays get wider color gamuts.

All the legacy APIs that don't do this just behind your back say "this came from sRGB colorspace" because that's what used to happen. But anything new shouldn't be doing that, because then it won't work with HDR, wide-gamut mobile displays, etc... By which I mean "can't display the full range of colors possible on the display"
Anecdotal counterpoint: my friends and I are slowly being given all that stuff we weren't allowed to touch, by our parents who preserved it to "pass it down"....and it's mostly stuff we have no space or need for. A china set? Antique clock? None of us wants it.

I think operation level consistency policies are more useful than DB level. For instance, saying bounded stale reads are OK for some operation could be useful for the high read scenarios and hopefully the system will materialize a cache.

Agreed, and there are very few accelerometers/gyros available in packages that don't require ENIG for reliability as the market is driven by phone usage, it would almost definitely cost more to get an (obscure/old) accel than just use ENIG.

I agree with the rest of OPs points though, all the seperate LED boards are a bit excessive.
> break the "do not repeat yourself" rule.

the do not repeat yourself rule isn't about saving typing, its about reducing points of failure in code - i.e. one code path and one place to fix a bug instead of n.

variable naming has nothing to do with that.
> The details matter, and yet, here we are, talking in abstractions instead of from experience.

I ain't got time nor interest for the details. If you can't speak in terms that I can understand within a short timeframe, in a way that appeals to my preconceived notions, then I'm voting for the guy that promises me the wall.

Even as an untrained laborer, I used to be able to earn a decent living. Now I can't because wages have been driven down. I'm blaming immigrants. You're not convincing me otherwise, nerd.

> There are few facts here, lost in a sea of stylized summaries and witty exaggeration.

I'm obviously playing a couple of characters here, but the truth is embedded within. The facts don't matter when the emotions get in the way. It will be like this with humans, always. Ain't no use in lamenting it, better learn to deal with it.

> Maybe we shouldn't take it too seriously?

You absolutely should take it seriously.

I'm sorry, it's simply bald-faced lying. If I found out any of my hires had done this, I'd fire them.

I rarely need to tell them anything, but if they ask, I say "I'm seeking new challenges". It's not a lie, and it avoids potentially bad-mouthing prior employers. But I'll be honest here -- it's only happened twice in my career that I left a job because of something bad about the job.
