There's some nuance and complication there, of course--putting aside the marketspeak for "ninjas" (which has been bullshit since it was first termed; I think that, and similar terms, are at last dead and buried, no?), if you're a mission- or social impact-oriented organization, a fair number of your potential hires are actively seeing a source of fulfillment in their work, and providing them with an outlet for that can benefit everybody involved.
I don't say that as justification for taking advantage of people's passions to load them up unfairly; more to acknowledge that there's sometimes more to it than a straight exchange of skills * time for cash.

Mobile phones have quite powerful GPUs even on the lower end devices. Many are based on ARM's Mali GPU series that has up to 28 shader cores. That's not going to compete with the hundreds of cores than a PC GPU has available but it's more than enough for a straightforward (but still very impressive) WebGL shader like the one in the link.

If the US had either a popular vote system or a ranked vote system state by state, the outcome would have been different. Nader had more votes in Florida than the difference between Bush and Gore.

I can't find any numbers on this, or the article source, but I'd be surprised if this were new. Cyprus went from 13% trust to 10% trust since 1994 and I bet Greece is along those lines. It's just how Greeks are, so the "no longer" part isn't accurate.
Interesting; the first two points you make sound wrong. It used to be that you got most software via "random binaries"; then, in the late 2000s, it became out of fashion and attention was called to dangers. It used to be, when Internet was new, that people didn't have trouble publishing personal information. Personal SEO was a thing; people optimized what prospective employers would find when googling their surname. Facebook came later, and even later still we got calls to stop publishing personal information.
Which underlines the parent post's point. Those margins are so slim as to not matter. We're talking about the entire election hanging on the difference of one moderate sized city's population.
MDs are idiots in this regard. Mainly because they've been thought medicine by other idiots. They have this stupid idea that "too much data" is bad, also stuff being a sign that you're a bad doctor if you order too much tests etc. It's a whole can of worms of crappy rationalizations here, that also hides the fact that doctors are not capable or trained to correctly deal with large volumes of data, so they know they will make mistakes that they will be liable for if they are handed more data!

More data is always better. Period.

Problem is that we lack some kind of protocols of "calculated ignorance" that they could follow, like be allowed to ignore large classes of semi-normal findings that would show up often and lead people on wild goose chases, and be safe from malpractices and stuff if they follow this "calculated ignorance". This is because in the end medicine is not about doing "the best thing at all cost", but at doing the best thing that can be done at population scales, under limits of financial cost and "comfort cost" (there are limits after most of us would prefer (high risk of) death instead of further investigations and treatments and these limits vary (wildly) by individual).

There's two things that should be drilled down into the heads of all domain experts: (1) more data is always better, and (2) it's ok to ignore as much of the data as you want if it doesn't make sense cost-wise to investigate it further. But it's always better to fish in a larger lake!
If my competitor can add features faster than us then they will pull ahead and there’s very little we can do about it.

I’ve been on both sides of that. Sometimes on the same project (quick hacks up front leading to calcification and death).

If each feature takes longer than the last one it becomes hell, and you don’t really want to stick around for that.

What you are looking for is HashTab[1]. It adds a tab to your file properties page that shows a variety of different hashes for the file, including MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-256. You can configure it to show a large number of different hashes. Also, if you have copied a hash from a website into your clipboard it will automatically compare it to the configured hashes and show you if there is a match.

I wouldn't be surprised if the guy opened his bill next month to discover that he's suddenly subscribed to HBO. It's trivial for the cable company to log those requests and they know who owns which box. An audit would discover his shenanigans immediately.
Framing it as a choice between "have a cookbook decision tree that's been validated by RCTs in exactly this context" and "do a lot of costly (in resources and side effects) followup tests to show we're doing everything we can" is an example of the irrationality that needs fixing. People are capable of actually reasoning with uncertainty when they care about outcomes. When it's you, personally, facing a decision in your life, you don't throw up your hands and say "It's too complicated to decide! There are no actuarial tables about exactly this situation!" Having to decide means having to make a bet. You can be a better or a worse gambler, but we're all gamblers. Medicine as a profession seems to want to pretend they're not, rather like "investors" pretend to be qualitatively different from "speculators".
"Won't someone please think of the children!"

There are legitimate privacy and rights concerns to the legality of filming in public spaces (especially in this era of "big data"). None of them are exclusive to children.

> it probably means the solution is to rewrite systemd in a memory safe language, and that's a huge undertaking.

At least with Rust, the rewrite could be done piecemeal, since Rust can easily interoperate with C (as long as you don't abuse C macros).
I was told to major in something marketable, and minor in my passion. It happened that my passion was marketable to some extent, and now I do derive a lot of my purpose from my work. I'm lucky that my job is "making the world a better place" but it isn't incorrect to have that outlook.

The harder it is to avoid undefined behavior, the more I blame things other than the software. Especially when you can run the old version under emulation and it still works without bugs.

And a lot of the blame goes to the distro that shipped a bunch of broken binaries.
Cuz it was so forgettable! ka-zinnggg!
Sorry to say, but I stand my ground. I believe it is the left % that is the root issue. As said without further explanation in my initial comment.

Creating Collectables, Fabricant Sells Their Digital-Only Garment for $9500
Counter-anecdote, I switched to systemd all the way back in 2012 on Arch, even before it was mandatory and way before it was in a state where other distros felt comfortable switching and I remember to this day that after I did the conversion and hit reboot, an absolute panic hit me, I was 110% sure the system won't boot afterward, just because of how drastic the change was to perform on a live system, (because simpler upgres than that broke my system before). Since Arch is rolling is not like a new release came with systemd, no, you just switched your live system over.

I remember being absolutely floored when after that relatively complex procedure, not only did the system boot, but it booted faster. I think I became a fan that day.
I always wanted to see a crossover episode that had both Roy Underhill and Norm Abrams -- two extreme opposite ways of woodworking (hand tools vs cool power toys). Would be really entertaining to see how they would approach a similar project.
I cannot verify your models.

But I can verify that I think Google gets my interests wrong more than 9 out of 10 times to the point of repeatingly insulting me and my family, and they are supposed to be very smart so I guess they to have equally smart models.

If they had just stuck to something relevant to the pages I visit they'd probably hit more than 50% of the time. If I visit a video about fixing stuff I might be interested in tools, paint or parts. If I visit a local news source around lunch I'd probably enjoy ideas for dinner from local shops.

That said I probably wouldn't buy much more but at least they wouldn't insult me and my family.

There was just nothing, or so little, that 'improves my life' as you put it, nor anything close. Just shit and drivel.

And it's not made for it. Quality doesn't equal traffic, nor even engagement in a monetisable sense. If it were, it would very quickly have learned that I didn't want to see memes, full stop. Nope, feed continued to be full of valueless memes.

For a brief period I considered I might be 'missing out', but it doesn't take long to realise that if you're missing out through not being on the right social media platform... who or what exactly are you missing out on.
The scale of it all is ever increasing, even if the sentiment is near constant.
Surely you could use NLP to extract context tokens and ad labels for ad submitters to create an ad network for this scale.
It looks like he's tweaking it so when he switches to QVC or something it rewrites the channel ID to HBO and the server hands the content out without any further checks.

This guy is totally busted if his cable company ever runs an audit of their logs.
> I'm not trying to argue, just trying to understand what you said.

Cool (and I say that without snark). For future reference, I might suggest "can you explain what you mean by this?". It sets a better tone than what you wrote, which reads as points-scoring caricature.

> You honestly believe that other parts of the country do not believe that? I feel some travel would get rid of such notions, but oh well.

Of course there are, and I travel extensively--travel and consulting used to be my job. There are not, however, ones that fit my idea of how people should live (which rules out otherwise lovely places like Richmond, VA), don't decouple me from my personal social connections (i.e., are in New England; as an example I really like Columbus, OH) and have sufficient mass transit to not park my rear end in a car every day (i.e., not the Amherst area of western Massachusetts or somewhere like Unity or Orono, Maine--both places that I love, but the car dependence sucks).

I hope the ad industry completely implodes of this.

It's possible to install GNU/Linux on Explorer units thanks to Google following the GPL and releasing kernel sources[0]. It's also possible to get AOSP running on an Explorer unit, and it works well enough on Android Lollipop at least[1].

Some people at PostMarketOS have even gotten recent Linux kernels to work on Glass[2], although the last time I tried (last year), I wasn't able to get anything to draw to the framebuffer after about 6 hours of effort.

Finally, the original GlassOS was Android based. The stock kernel and applications have been extracted and are floating around[3].

GDPR required companies to add features to append only systems to allow for true deletion (usually with something like a 30 day delay).

Not sure how many actually did that, but to be compliant append only does not fly. I was on a product that did exactly that for data lakes.
If I was the author of a type of software that historically was over-hyped vaporware then it wouldn't disqualify me but it would warrant taking my pronouncements a grain of salt.
The other moat is that Google will blacklist you if you try to scrap public domain information like operating hours from google maps.
The main way that owning a home allows someone to build wealth is that it forces them to put money towards something productive rather than blowing it on stupid things.

My experience from buying a house two years ago is that though I suspected it, I never truly realized how many amenities were covered by my rent. I went from paying $30/month in utilities, etc. to ~$400 /month. I also now live 10 miles further away from where I work / hang out.

Granted, we live in a house that is ~2x as big as our apartment, plus two car garage. But if you factored out strictly the various recurring expenses I now pay from my previous rent, it is extremely close to breaking even. And that isn't including the increased cost of owning / operating two cars that now drive ~60 more miles a day between the two of them.

Our net worth increased much faster while we were renting than now that we have a house.

I would add that its intensely slow process is the epitome of the harmful lumbering bureaucracy that libertarians react strongly against. Factory inspections are understandable, but the approval process takes so much time and effort it's no wonder generics cost far more than they should.

That makes sense[1]. The point I was trying to make is that even if they think [x] is a bad thing, people may still answer that [x] is an accurate summary of reality. They may be wrong, but even so they’re still not making any normative judgement. The questions just aren't designed to give us insight into any of the things the article and my parent comment seem to think they do. They're asking about how reality is and then making assumptions about what the respondents think reality should be.

I guess I'm considered a millennial, but messages like this sound like misconceived pandering. Firstly, I don't think any generation necessarily "owes" anything to future generations. But, even if we accept the premise, I am the beneficiary of absolutely mind-boggling amounts of technological advancement, culture, progress, infrastructure, science, and on and on and on even just over the course of my own lifetime (approaching 30 years). "Boo hoo, things aren't absolutely perfect in every way." That doesn't mean that any generation has "failed" another. Sure, there might be some setbacks and difficult problems to solve or adjust to in the future, but come on. As Steven Pinker has I think convincingly pointed out, things have been reliably getting better for a long time, and even when we think "the world is going to hell", it simply doesn't.

Not to mention, there is something extraordinarily presumptuous about the CEO of one tech company thinking he has the standing to either criticize or speak on behalf of literally billions of people.

> how long its taking Firefox to get their Rust rewrite going

Nobody is rewriting Firefox into Rust. Servo is a new research engine not intended to replace Gecko, and some Servo components are being reused back in Gecko (Stylo and WebRender). These are fairly self-contained. The bulk of Gecko is still that C++ codebase and it's here to stay.
Yeah, been maintaining the same software for 4 years now. Honestly the elegantly designed beautiful parts of the systems have been the hardest to maintain. They end up too specialized to a single use-case and you have to keep rebuilding them from scratch.

Meanwhile the hacky code keeps chugging along happily and dealing easily-ish with any new requirement you throw at it.
It's hard to job hop if you aren't already in an area with lots of hoppable jobs. That really only covers a handful of metros in the U.S., and if your school doesn't draw recruiters from these places it's all the more difficult to get your foot in the door when these companies have mountains of just as qualified local candidates they can pick through. Then if you do get all these interviews you have to not only take time off, but book travel, potentially burning airline tickets and hotel stays if it doesn't pan out. You almost need a buddy with a free couch if you are job hunting in NYC or LA. That's why I left the midbest as fast as I could, because I know how easily people get trapped out here with very limited prospects and mobility.
still much hirer since theyre based on the price of the stock when it was granted. so its appreciated at least 20% (check back in 4 months when the employee lockout period ends)
price per sq ft is probably going down as home sizes go up, largely due to location. Most new homes are built where land is available, further out from city centers, and therefore have a lower price per square foot despite being larger.
The part where pessimism is listed as a problem is the icing on the cake.

Millenials and Gen Z don't want optimism and hope. We want the other generation to be as frustrated and angry as we are.

> Given a lot of the negative points were around the reaction of others to having a camera pointed at them, I never got why they didn't make it easy to flip up the camera part as a way to physically indicate it wasn't in use.

As one of the glass explorers (who still has and uses my explorer edition from time to time), this is something that I never understood. The entire prism would light up if the camera was in use (it's easy to see when the display is on). And you either have to use voice commands or would have to touch the device to take a picture, both of which are fairly obvious. It's much easier to take a discrete photo or video with a cell phone.

But I suppose this is another case omitting one or two facts to completely change the narrative.

CCL https://citizensclimatelobby.org/ in the US is working towards something, albeit in a mild and incremental way.

They're pushing a carbon tax policy in the house right now https://citizensclimatelobby.org/energy-innovation-and-carbo.... It's a little silly since it seems like there's little appetite for a bill like this with conservatives. I still think it's important to try.

I'd say there's a lot of opportunity to do things on a state or local level. Reducing your state's carbon emissions has a real impact. Push for renewable energy sources. Fight to make the process of rezoning for higher density housing easier in your community and improve public transit.
Google is an improvement on Altavista. Slack is a downgrade on IRC in everything except the lowest common denominator UX and pushing ops to someone else.

The new SaaS companies integrate what used to be two (three) separate things - the client and the protocol (and the server). The way they do this forces everyone to use the common client that's not optimized for power users. Which is kind of nasty, because it's the power users that have to suffer the interface the most, as we use it day in, day out at our dayjobs.
One of the things I really grew to appreciate in residency was the risk of iatrogenic harm from incidental findings on unnecessary tests.
I think most of us who get into data visualization go through a "3D all the things!" phase. I certainly did. But eventually I had to accept that the tradeoffs just aren't worth it. Occlusion is a serious problem. Our brains simply process 2D much more efficiently.

Yes, if you need people, raise prices until you can afford the people that are available. The actual industries that do need people (like tech) have done that.
The language choice is based on what project you want to accomplish and the platform you chose. An Android app (there are a billion smartphones) you would pick one of the IDEs and use Java/Kotlin. A project on the Raspberry Pi would be C/C++ or Python or whatever. A web project would be javascript /CSS /HTML /React talking to (huge list of things). Games would be on one of the 3D engines and a supported language. Various flavors of AI use different languages and libraries.

Pick a project you want to build. That would narrow your choices. Then search Stack Overflow for opinions /recommendations.

The APIs on the platform of choice restrain the languages used.
