You have to put the effort in to something that you expect people to actually pay for. I’m not gonna lie, I’m sure I’m not the only one who gave a giggle at $27. I would use this if it were free and so would many others. Tons of people dedicate months or years to FOSS projects and tons of people dedicate months or years to achieve something great, and, as you say, helpful, without ever getting so much as a thank you.

I don’t see that you’re looking at your customer or purpose with this statement. It seems you’re far more concerned with your bottom line at the moment...a clickbaity headline like you chose kinda puffs your ego regarding the project out of proportion, and the fact that the follow up video to that link contains such little actual information about the product is strange at best.

> Running them on in-order, speculation-free hardware would be quite sufficient.

In-order isn't a magic bullet against Spectre, they still do spectulative execution after predicting branches and they can still be vunerable. ARM have listed at least one of their in-order cores as vunerable.

To be free of all speculation you have to go back to the 486, which didn't even have branch prediction.

Besides, if you are making custom CPUs there are other options to avoid Spectre that don't require eliminating all spectulative execution.

No, not really. The GGP was basically pushing "we could destroy the village in order to save it" logic." The NYT is one of the few newspapers that may be able to weather the economic maelstrom that journalism is in the middle of, so it makes no sense for its journalists to go to war with its management over a niche issue, to satisfy a few strident people in the internet peanut gallery. I think it's pretty obvious that the turmoil the GGP's idea would cause would have far more negatives than positives.

Running all these stories definitely has more positives than negatives.

> have a lot more free time due to not having employment

I assume you're advocating their support through some social safety net that provides them with basic necessities.

Because currently, not having employment is a major loss in free time: you spend all your time trying to meet core needs like food, shelter, and clothing. Where an employed person can simply order take-out, hire a contractor to fix their house, and buy new clothes as required, an impoverished person will be scraping together safe food and trying to cook it to be palatable, sheltering in uncomfortable or unsafe places, and repairing clothes that are long since worn out. And if they do go to work, they earn a pittance that's insufficient to pay rent, much less afford luxuries like prepared food, home ownership, or durable clothing.

Unless you're extremely optimistic about social services improving, the poor being poorer puts heavier burdens on their time, not lighter.

Learning things before the right time can become a hindrance. In my case the first year and a half of Uni couldn't have been more boring, I basically learned nothing new but had to spend a shitload of time doing just homework meant for people to learn the concept not prove they know the concept, and that absolutely killed all my motivation to do Uni.

Edward Snowden: Without Russian Asylum, ‘I Would Be in Guantanamo or Dead’
I eat a lot of frozen vegetables. This is less wasteful than fresh, because I can buy them in bulk and store them for several months. With fresh vegetables I'd have to make two or three journeys a week. Additionally, a lot of fresh vegetables rot in the supply chain.

I demand my frozen vegetables are packaged in plastic bags. This is the standard packaging for good reason. There is no other material that combines the flexibility, lightness, and waterproofness of plastic. Plastic bags are not easily recyclable, but very little material is needed to make one. I think it's a worthwhile tradeoff to send a few grams of plastic to landfill (where the carbon stays out of the atmosphere), or burn it for energy recovery, to avoid spending far more fossil fuel on transport and wasted production.

Banning plastic packaging without thinking about the consequences will do more harm than good.

Mirroring some other comments here, my best experiences were with overhead projectors and document cameras. My high school math teacher would sit on his desk at the front of the classroom and use an overhead projector with transparencies on a roll so he could just roll up as he wrote. In college a lot of professors used document cameras for basically the same approach. I think it was by far the most effective way to teach math because they could just write equations etc. out and also face the class, and they didn't have to deal with chalk or dry erase markers.
As someone heavily emotionally invested in the public outdoor spaces of the United States - I really wish the larger outdoor retailers/services/etc would put more emphasis on respecting places "digitally." It's great that more people are getting out and enjoying the outdoors but you have to worry that we could be hugging something we love to death.

Anyway, there is a small movement to create an 8th Leave no Trace principle: https://8thlnt.wordpress.com/ - and that is to be mindful of what we do digitally in the outdoors.

Another good article on the subject: https://lnt.org/new-social-media-guidance/ & https://www.racked.com/2018/8/27/17719792/outdoor-influencer...

That would be a good alternative if an unlikely series of conditions were met, e.g. availability of sufficiently-paying part-time jobs, sufficient wage similarity to not make the lower-earning partner's work a relative waste, affordability of insurance, etc.

I'm no refrigeration engineer, but I figure you might need some sort of pulsed cooling. Compress the solid so it gets hotter, run liquid coolant through it to extract the heat to a radiator. Then let the solid decompress, and switch to a coolant circuit that extracts heat from the interior of the fridge and dumps it in the solid. If you needed continuous operation of both coolant circuits, you could add a second block of solid material, and switch the cooling and heat-exhaust circuits between the two.

I'd also posit that there isn't much competition at the top.
One point of the post is that if you do constant retros (say every 2 weeks), within teams with the engineering manager, you can help foster an "an environment that is open to discussion and even polite dissent" (as you put it).

As a VP Eng, I've found that it can definitely hurt for upper management to get involved in retros. I try really hard to create bottom-up empowerment where individuals and teams can solve problems and improve their processes independently. That kind of ownership is really powerful. Retros really help with that. Plus, from my perspective, I can just read retro-notes to find common threads across teams that may require my help to improve or fix (e.g., if we're consistently underinvesting on testing or if aren't providing enough avenues for career growth or ...).

I obviously can't speak to your experiences, but what you're describing sounds really dark: management "conning" management. I hope you've been able to get away from such places!

It's not that simple. Certain corporate interests have the means to restrict content. This had been an issue for a long time. I'd use the example of the MPAA. They've been successful at shutting out gay and female sexuality from film. However, they're an optional, private organization deciding what happens in their house. Not defending OP or his terrible analogy, but I never bought the "my house, my rules" argument.

Fight (lobby, voice your opinion, etc) at your local level to preserve (and expand) trees in streets. Fight against parking lots replacing greenery, fight for the opposite. Ask your municipality to spray down roads in the evenings when it's really hot (if your area does not suffer from drought). Learn to use morning cool air to cool down the flat (depending on where you live). Don't AC your house to (extremely) low temperatures. Get good shades.
Cool, but can anyone explain to me why I'd want this?
This misses the point.

You could also say that monetary union between the US states makes no sense economically. The point is that the people decided to have a political union and to belong to the same country, the USA. Monetary union follows.

The aim is to have a federal union in Europe. In a way, going straight to monetary union is to 'force' further political union because they know full well that it requires it in order to work.

It's crucial to have the economics work but economics does not control culture and politics, it's the other way round.
>It’s a bit exaggerated, but reasonable.

Yeah labeling someone as having a mood disorder because of their economic perspectives -- which are perfectly and reasonably formulated -- is weirdly... cult like. It's not reasonable at all.

There is absolutely nothing nihilistic about that view point. Not even close? Perhaps choose a different label.

Certainly the pace of growth has slowed, but the language is still growing at a lessor pace. I would say Leiningen/Maven is a major strength of the clojure ecosystem. However, if you do not like Leiningen, now there is now an "out of the box" solution to manage dependencies and construct the classpath. https://clojure.org/guides/deps_and_cli

In addition, you do not need to use nrepl. Clojure has a socket repl and a socket prepl as of Clojure 1.10
> But store meals required purchasing food in larger quantities than necessary (think a 12-pack of hamburger buns for a two-person meal).

This is the key, and one of the reasons I love Blue Apron. The meals come in such exactly portioned amounts that the only thing left when I'm done eating is the packaging. There is zero food waste, ever. (Incidentally, this makes an effective weight-loss diet if your problem is overeating like me.)

That being said, I wonder if Blue Apron would still come out ahead of home cooking if you did not attempt to make the same meals but instead more typical home cooked meals. Blue Apron recipes on average are more varied and have more ingredients than what a person would normally cook, so I wonder if the extra food waste is more a consequence of trying to reproduce them.
I think you're correct, that would be a better description. Unfortunately I think it's too late to edit my original comment: the edit link doesn't show up for me.
I would say this is crazy, but truth be told... if I saw someone selling like super high quality heirloom tomatoes online... I'd probably buy some.

I tweeted this about Joe:

> I wish I'd gotten to meet @joeerl. So bright and enthusiastic. Erlang embodies so many insights that seem obvious in hindsight. Eg, you can't prevent all programmer mistakes. You can't ensure computers never die or get disconnected. All you can do is make a system that copes.

> Many programming languages and tools exist to deal with the basic fact that humans make mistakes. Type checking, encapsulation, TDD, etc - all because without help, we will do dumb things. Erlang taps us on the shoulder and says "and ALSO your computer could melt. Start there."

> In Joe's words, "To guard against the failure of an entire computer, we need two computers." Obvious. Brilliant.

> The only place you can handle failure of a process on Machine A is in a process on Machine B, which can't share any memory with the first process and can only pass messages to/from it. And for consistency, Erlang handles all failures that way.

> Then you notice that these shared-nothing processes are easy to run concurrently because neither can mutate the other's state and cause race conditions. And that this scales beautifully when you have multiple CPUs.

> These are some of the insights I got from reading Joe's thesis. I'm sure I missed a lot of others and hope to re-read sometime. I wrote up some of what I learned at https://dockyard.com/blog/2018/07/18/all-for-reliability-ref...

I wouldn't make that assumption. Plenty of people are moving around to get the perfect view, and are still not paying attention to how risky the situation is. Also, as mentioned elsewhere in the comments, vertigo can play a part - and that is _more_ likely to happen when looking at the vista than when maneuvering for a photo.
The issue is more that you are causing a calculated cache line to be fetched and then the timing difference between the L1 cache and L3 or MM fetch shows what the calculated value was. The only way to make those appear at the same speed is to slow L1 down on a speculative fetch to MM speed.

It isn't like a simple branch with two possible values. The cache line could be one of 256 (if scanning a byte at a time).

There's a section where he talks about thinking about other businesses or activities that are outside of your main focus, and after you go through that process you may come up with different ideas for your own business. It's pretty easy too. Just look around your room or where ever you are for objects and then think about how they are manufactured -- stuff like that.

I remember seeing a piece of lumber (I was reading outside) and it got me to think about how efficient some lumber manufacturers are. They might make 2x4s and other processed wood which they sell to retailers, but there's so much waste produced during the process in the form of sawdust and those manufacturers figured out how to sell their sawdust waste.

I never would have ever thought about something like that on my own, but it got me to think about how I can reduce waste and cross pollinate some of the things I create (code, blog posts, videos, etc.).
