Argh, this article is going to give researchers the misleading impression that releasing code as open-source is complicated, that you need to maintain it, ask yourself difficult questions, be an expert in programming, find funding to keep it around, etc.

But in my field, in most cases the source code is never released at all. That's a far bigger problem that not having support to use it.

So fellow academics, please don't use this article as an excuse to not release your code. When in doubt, just push the thing to Gitlab as is, add a README that says "This is research code for paper X and it is unmaintained.", and disappear. It's not ideal, it's not the best way to do science -- but it's much better than not releasing your code.

I actually like the newer interface... when it isn't trying to take over my entire 32" screen to show me information that would have fit in a 2" square window, or doesn't bother exposing more than a quarter of the functionality you get with the older UIs.

I don't know where you went, but there are still plenty of people using IRC. Not as many as were in the past, but it's still popular enough with the crowd of people I hang around.
I think Apple solved this problem well with the .app application files. All application files and resources are self-contained. Drag the .app file to the Trash to completely remove it.

Some apps are non-conforming, and store data elsewhere, but as a general model I think it works very well.
Same thing with fighting games. I liked to play Mortal Kobmbat as a kid, and I always approached it as a game where you anticipate, react, and adapt to your opponent. When I got further into the “MK culture” and met much better players, one of them explained to me: “You’re going about it all wrong. Fighting games like MK and SF are about memorization and executing patterns, not about strategy.” The best players basically memorized the combos and could pull them off them consistently. Indeed, future fighting games made these combos explicitly part of the game mechanics. Just for fun I tried one of the latest Tekkens, and the entire game is memorization of button sequences and playback. Yawn

To be fair, most people do not work on applications that need that level of performance.

Most of the time, and to your point, that level of performance isn't necessary so using a language that is less likely to let you take your foot off is generally the best & most correct choice. I only resort back to C/C++ when I need the pure raw performance like this parser would, or when doing embedded work. Otherwise I reach for other tools in the tool-bag that are less likely to let me maim myself unintentionally.

GridCure (www.gridcure.com) | Backend Engineer | Data Engineer | Boulder, Colorado | Full-time | ONSITE

Want to literally help keep the lights on? GridCure provides a SaaS platform for electrical power utilities to predict equipment failure, optimize power generation, and help get more renewables on the grid overall. We work with utilities around the world, including EDP in Portugal, LE in Lithuania, and AEP in the US as a few examples of some of the fun places we get to travel.

We're a Python shop hosted on Google Cloud, primarily looking for more engineers to help us with big ETL processes and generally scaling out the platform. Familiarity with Django, API development, and data processing in general are are the key skill sets we're looking for, and because our customers are big utilities scalability and reliability are key design requirements.

You'll enjoy an unlimited vacation and work-from-wherever-you're-most-effective-today policy, our only ask is for folks to spend the majority of their first few months in the Boulder, CO office for onboarding and getting to know the team.

Check more details on the roles at https://www.gridcure.com/contact/ (and try out the posted data set to find the EVs in smart meter signals!). I'm the founder - feel free to email me at tagg@gridcure.com directly with any questions, and if you're in the Boulder/Denver area, coffee's on me.
In Fahrenheit, hot is 100 and cold is 0.

In Celsius, hot is 30 and cold is -10.

When talking about it for what you're wearing and subjective experience, Celsius is a little more awkward and compressed.

Sure, scientifically celsius is more useful, but how often does that overlap with the weather?

That sounds like something was seriously wrong with your install. I am on a desktop running windows 10 since its release on which I use daily and install a lot of software - and the windows folder is sitting at 12 GB.
While a smart grid is incredibly useful to solve this, is it strictly necessary?

For example you could build an array of flywheels that charges when the frequency is above 50Hz and discharges when the frequency is below 50Hz.

No network connection necessary, and if you want to you can build it entirely analog. If all you really want is inertia and reaction time it could even be as simple as dumb three phase motors with weights.

How much money are you willing to stake on that statement? I'll make a market for you; if you think your education gives you an edge over the wildly overconfident guy -we can even stick it on a blockchain that is quantum future proof if you like. Your choice.

Saying "quantum mechanics works" is not the same as saying "I can manipulate exponential QM states with polynomial imperfect physical devices." In the early days, people sketched out optical quantum computers that totally worked, but had exponential growth in elements with quantum states. Which, I bet, is how the universe is always going to work.

Money where your mouth is: I haven't found any other good shorts for this shitty idea.
Tilde servers were sort of the start in my mind of things like that, as is SDF
I think if I hire someone and I told them something wrong and they know that it is wrong but did it anyway without even questioning it (ask a question is good, so that you can learn; maybe there is a good reason why it is done that way, but maybe not), then I will fire them please.
Isolated registry backups are handy if you do a lot of poking around in the registry by hand or if you're about to install a .reg file. Regardless, the dialog box actively lying to the user is what's completely unacceptable.
I think we need to revisit "Software is eating the world."

There's a certain antipathy that's inherent to the current formula and it shows up in your 'specialists who only think of the box' comment.

In a way it relates to work-life balance. We should be able to have developers in their 30's who are specialists in several unrelated fields. Dive back into something you did before you went into the CS program, or something you found along the way.

Instead we blow right past our 10,000 hours toward 20,000 and a lot of us never take a detour. There are diminishing returns here. Other skills are also important (even more effective) once you know basically how to do your primary duties without having to stop and think about it.

To really eat the world, we need to participate in the world. 'Disruptors' usually think everyone else's problems are simple, due to pig ignorance. I'm not sure when the backlash is coming but I'm sure it's out there.

I watched a 'household name' in one of my hobbies do a kickstarter to create a public website with detailed information for that hobby. He got what sounded like a bunch of money but ended up having to make most of it subscription based. Guess what? Programmers are really fucking expensive. Especially if they work on the wrong things.

If I can get my ducks in a row, my side hustle will basically be replacing his bad execution of a good idea with one that works. I can charge myself 'wholesale' prices for labor instead of retail. I need fewer user studies. Hell I know what a user study is. And I can care better about things like privacy and scalability and reliability. For me it won't be a dancing bear. I can bring in some of my expectations from my day job.
I have no idea what you're talking about.

I was replying to a comment that, if I understand correctly, was suggesting "porting" Guix so that packages could be defined in Ruby instead of its native Guile, for the purposes of maintainability. But I may not have understood correctly, because I don't see how anyone could think that would improve maintainability. Hence the question.
>> Nobody who knew Sarah Pailin would mistake an actress for her.

"During a segment on whether Palin will run for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, [Fox News] aired a photo of Fey posing as the former Alaska governor."

So ya, people who did know her image very well did in fact mistake an image of the actor Tina Fey for the real Sarah Palin. It happened several times during the campaign.
For an international standard of universal constants they sure change a lot.

Starting to get like the problem of OS updates changing everything, except what if it was the foundations of all scientific measurement constantly changing instead of some OS you don't even have to use.

Some might say oh they haven't really changed. Well if they haven't really changed why change them.
They could still collect data locally and use ML to optimize it.
> That's what I do - run the omnibus package sans fancy helm chart - and it works out pretty well.

Can second that. Hosting a instance for our (quite small) dev team on a kinda-small VM and the GitLab Omnibus Package has been one of the nicest (while biggest) piece of software to administrate. Updates are super smooth, the things we use seem to be stable over the last two years. Only three unplanned downtime’s in that time and all because our hoster is plain terrible (hi Telekom!).

Doesn't Panasonic make the batteries for Tesla?
You are assuming that OP and others are asking this for "fun". I think most managers would agree that firing people is the worst part of the job. Threads like these can serve as valuable places to share hiring/firing experiences and lessons-learned to prevent future firings.
It really has nothing to do with this. If the quotes you mentioned are real then I'm ashamed members of the community would speak like that towards developers. But the terminology of "destroying" a game has nothing to do with badtalking developers. This is purely about understanding a game so well that you can undermine it. See also: "tearing up the dance floor".

Celeste fan and speedrunner of it here.

> You can jump straight through some obstacles, get additional dashes, etc. that the developers didn't originally intend.

Most of these techniques were intended; the game was designed to have them in. The game actually teaches you most of this tech extremely late in the game. It's a replay-ability thing. There's an extremely good talk at GDC a few years back about Celeste level design, incidentally...

There have been a few situations where runners did find an actual glitch, and the devs patched them out, because they weren't intended. There have also been one or two where they've left it in, because it's healthy for the running community overall.

I haven't played much VVVVVVV, but isn't it basically the same as celeste? Or is it Celeste's lack of randomness that makes it worse for you; I thought VVVVVV didn't have any randomness either, but it's been a few years.
I guess I don't consider it the same, unless we are considering speedrunning == mastery. I really appreciate those games for the sense of mastery you can get while also playing at your own pace. You don't need to memorize things like how to start as a difficult OPM once you have enough experience in the game, unless you need full optimality.
In addition to using Panasonic’s IP, Tesla has been using Panasonic as a source of cheap capital for years. Now that Pana has shown reluctance to keep investing in the Gigafactory, Tesla is going to try it themselves: like insurance, shipping, auto body repair, seats, glass, software (where is CarPlay?), inference chips, AI, motors, packs, and manufacturing in general. May this effort fare better than the poor flufferbot.
Blanket (https://blanket.ai/blog/about) | Software Engineering - Core Infrastructure | Full-time | REMOTE

Join us on our mission to help the best products win.

It's often said that:

The best products don't win, the ones with the best distribution do.

We're doing something about that. Blanket gives the best products an unfair advantage by giving them access to the best distribution.

The first problem we're solving on our way to fulfill that mission is to automate the Sales Development process. That's prospecting, reaching out, crafting collateral, and booking sales demos.

We're looking for teammates that need to see their work have an immediate impact, and enjoy fast-paced and high-growth environments. Join us and play a crucial part in building a platform that some of the most respected companies will use to increase their sales.

- Experience with modern JavaScript and Node.js frameworks
Doom was a rather groundbreaking game so it’s often given a pass for many issues. However, a famous failure like the tacoma narrows bridge collapse is less likely to be repeated in other fields. The 20th game with the same failure really is best described as incompetence. Especially if it will often be discovered within 10 seconds of playing the game and it’s not a complex fix.
Quite a few of my chemical engineering friends at Berkeley have interned at Tesla in their battery cell division. Their laboratory also regularly partners with our Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory for various research projects. It's a pretty robust operation actually, though I doubt most people would know about it unless they were in academia or affiliated with the research universities involved.

Happy overall that my friends don't have to choose between their morals or making money working in the oil industry now that battery chemistry is the more lucrative alternative.
Surely you mean that she checked several social media feeds on the smartphone she was outfitted with every half mile. And that at least five ad companies and twenty trackers followed her journey, none of which correctly deduced that she was a fox.

Your role would be to help us secure and scale these systems via intelligent automation and robust service architecture. Experience with AWS is a bonus, as well as experience with Bitcoin, particularly in the area of key management.
I don't want a coherent message history. Nicknames not being 'owned' by anybody (on servers that don't implement services) and incoherence of message histories means that deniability is still alive and well in real time communications.

In an increasingly surveillance filled Internet, the fact that what I've said in the past can't be held against me today is a feature, not a bug.
