Focused vs. Diffused Thinking: why developers need to master both
Just a side note, Lex has been killing it with this podcast. He’s been able to land some remarkable guests for a relatively new show with a niche market. I personally think he does a great job of mixing up the conversation with both technical and philosophical angles.

Highly recommended.
If you often do this there are privacy films for your computer screen that drastically reduce horizontal viewing angles and greatly improve privacy.
I think most EV design are actually simpler than ICEs. No gearbox, massively simpler engine. Other than that yeah.. seats, doors, wheeldrive... same old.
Yes, I forgot to mention I don't visit any questionable sites whatsoever. I've extremely vigilant, more vigilant than 99% of the population I would think, and I take it very seriously. If I need to test a link, I'll use my phone. I built my own desktop so no worries there, I don't have a CD player and I only install trusted apps these days, the only ones in the last few years have been Chrome and Firefox.

It's not the most secure method, obviously, but it works for me. And if the environment gets more dangerous than the status quo, I'm flexible enough to know I'll probably be forced to upgrade.

I'm not security-ignorant btw. I used to subscribe to both BugTraq and NTBugtraq back in the day and kept up over the decades. I just haven't seen anything in the last several years that can't be solved via not clicking on random links or installing new software. As said, spear-phishing/breaking out of the sandbox or serving malware via ads is my biggest concern these days and if it gets more prevalent then it will warrant a change in my views.
Smarkets | Full Time | ONSITE (London, UK; also Downtown LA, California)

We're a modern betting exchange, going technology first to enable proper price competition in a field of fat commissions. Join a small, agile, and fast-growing team, in our beautiful office in St. Katharine Docks. If our US location tickles your fancy, you get to help setting up a brand new office too.

Smarkets develops a reliable, low-latency, highly concurrent betting exchange based on trading exchange designs. We're also building a fast, modern web interface to allow for a smoother experience. Servicing our users is top priority.

The Smarkets platform is written predominantly in Python, C++ (replacing still present Erlang) and Javascript for React, relying heavily on asynchronous programming techniques. The tech stack sports Kafka, Postgres and increasingly Kubernetes. We use REST where we can. Life at Smarkets circles around people, version control, configuration management and automation. We can - and do - deploy to production several times a day.

Our entire production is in AWS. In fact, Smarkets was the first gambling operator under the Maltese regulator to get permission to run everything in the cloud. We push the envelope where needed and educate auditors when necessary.

We are looking for engineering talent all across the board: frontend, infrastructure, trading engine, security - and of course generalists, those yet to find their calling.

If you like the idea of flat structure and practical engineering approach, see our jobs at https://smarkets.com/careers .
> SwiftUI is basically React implemented in Apple's proprietary language rather than a preprocessed JavaScript-XML hybrid.

This is completely false. Not one shred of truth in it. The similarities between React and SwiftUI end at both being component-based UI libraries, just like plenty of others (Cocoa, Vue, Ember, Ext JS, Svelte, Qt, do I need to go on?—some of which provide various components out of the box, others of which don’t). Beyond that, they work in radically different ways and the way you will achieve things is radically different too. Just look at the avocado toast example and see how true this is.
The USA has refined the art of extracting money from people who are scared for their well being.

Edit:

Here are a couple of the many forces contributing to this:

* Political corruption is legal, in the form of lobbying. Politicians spend up to 70% of their time negotiating campaign money and large corporate donors can effectively fire (not-re-elect) any politician by not donating their campaign. Donors use this to "independently" lobby for laws that benefit them, effectively writing laws. Large health insurance companies, pharmaceuticals, etc. take full advantage of this.

* Large employers are able to negotiate and purchase insurance at lower prices, and then offer better/any health insurance as employment benefits. This allows them to negotiate cheaper labor, on a very large scale -- if you want health insurance for your children and spouse, you are more likely to put up with an employer who pressures you for more work and treats you badly.
I'm not using sleight of hand or suggesting an equality between murder and non-violent protest.

It is possible to believe that unfettered police brutality and regularly killing unarmed civilians without consequence is a horrible thing AND to believe that standing during the anthem during a game is an inappropriate way to address said horrible thing.

Your argument appears to boil down to

1. This is horrible

2. We should do something

3. They did something

4. They are correct

The set of all things which are acceptable is not the set of all things. It's not even the same set for all people. Just because someone doesn't believe the same things as you doesn't make them wrong; it doesn't make them right, either, but it doesn't make them wrong.

> if racists or jingoists believe racist or jingoist things

Maybe the most important point here... just because someone doesn't believe in the same ways to oppose something as you doesn't mean they don't think it should be opposed. It doesn't make them a racist and implying they are is a horrible thing to do.
Both, as most of my projects are aligned with my personal startup, and other projects are for a salaried startup.
A year ago the right-wing militia types took over a bird sanctuary and ended up getting in a shootout with the state police.

It's not unreasonable to feel unsafe around these people; maybe the burden of safe and civil governance should fall on the people making death threats, not someone who could reasonably consider herself the target of such violence.
Northern Europeans are very tall.
>Contrast this with acquiring a business name through any Department of State/Division of Corporations.

What do you mean by this?

Generally if a corporate name is registered (example: ABC, INC.) most states will not allow another “ABC” to be registered (even if ending in another suffix like “Corp” or even if another type of entity like an LLC).

I had a client in a certain state who registered their entity name as MSG HOLDINGS and wouldn’t you know I got a call from General Counsel of Madison Square Garden one day making an offer to purchase my clients entity solely for the name.
i think you mean murder not culture.
Traits can be abused too, you can create a trait for every thing because abstraction is good and pass traits everywhere. Where to get the trait? From a factory of course. Then you roll an IoC container.
That sounds like it was the intent. But I got into old menus simply by trying to change the clock time. Definitely not an IT professionals who don't care kind of action.

C++ was explicitly about adding support for OOP to C, and most modern languages that have OOP support derive from C++ in that support (often by way of Java), though there area few that remain that are directly inspired by Smalltalk without C++ as an intermediary, and a smaller number that don't come from the class-based OO family rooted in Smalltalk (JS notably, though modern JS has added class-based features.)

That already helps a lot if you don't need to maintain full power for long periods. It gives just enough thermal inertia to handle spikes without throttling. For extended periods you may need to move to bigger heatsink or active cooling.
It seems that what people actually mean when they say "OOP" is inheritance.

I haven't used Julia, but it seems that Nim has inheritance[1]. Rust has traits that can have default methods, so it's closer to Java and C# in that regard.

OOP is quite useful, it's easy to write bad code in any language (and I've seen lots of it in golang for instance, which, due to the nature of the language, ended up making it even more difficult to follow than badly written Java for instance). So be careful to not fall for the hype that is going on.

Greater sense of social cohesion is often when dissenting views were more successfully hidden, quashed or marginalised. Depends whether you read the news or the history book. Read some biographies of comedians, actors or other non-military types who got drafted, or the lower rank military whether special forces, simple squaddie or aircrew in whichever era. You'll get a very different picture. Usually the far more interesting picture than that from politicians, general or admiral, but much less sense of purpose showing.

Perhaps something can achieve that, but I suspect it needs to be as clear, obvious and existential for all as the historical moments. Even then it won't be nearly as cohesive as history makes you think.

I’m looking for a permanent (preferred) or contract remote DevOps/SRE position as an individual contributor or manager.

A long time ago, in a Silicon Valley far away, I was a hotshot IT/Ops engineer, manager, and even director, at several high-profile startups. Then I moved to Brazil and here I've been planting trees and raising chickens and practicing permaculture. I did keep a toe in tech and I have a really good Internet connection thanks to a 20m antenna tower I built myself. Now I have “saudade” for being a hacker, and I also need an income. So I’ve been polishing up my skills for a while, and now I’m ready to get to work!

Although located in Brazil, I am an EU citizen and have an address and bank account in Germany, which may facilitate hiring.
Physics gets removed from the conversation when we start to view trains as endlessly more efficient than airplanes. They aren’t, and in the US part of that equation is the requirement to make passenger trains able to survive a full collision with a freight train, adding a great deal of weight and removing much of the physical advantage of low rolling resistance. Other examples are the overly prescriptive regulations for trains, which is a situation that the aeronautical industry has recently been able to make major gains on. Trains are great, but they’re not necessarily better for the environment or the users than airplanes because of their physics.

SEEKING WORK | Cambridge/London UK or Remote

I'm a software engineer with 16 years of programming experience. I've helped startups get started and big companies keep going.

If you have web projects, then there's a good chance I've worked on something similar before and will be able to hit the ground running. If you need more general programming, I can do it. If you're doing something a bit esoteric, that would definitely suit me – I've done FPGAs, network protocols, speech recognition, more ETL than you can shake a stick at, and devising novel algorithms.

I consider myself a polyglot programmer and haven't found a language I can't be productive in yet. In the last 5 years I've written (at least) C#, Java, Python, Javascript (browser and Node.js), and Ruby professionally. In my last project, I quickly picked up Typescript, and soon helped the rest of the team understand it better.

I'm friendly and easy-going, enjoy mentoring and working with other developers. I just helped a client do a major rewrite (Angular 1 to React) in a two month timescale, which finished on time and budget.

I'm happiest on fixed-term projects that I can complete on a schedule that suits both of us, and my clients have been very happy with this process too.

The whole point of distributing money instead of goods is that the goods people want change over time, and large bureaucracies are slow to react to those changes. 30 years from now, people won’t want cell phones. They’ll want whatever new technology we use to communicate.
Some tabloids blatantly lift articles from Reddit. One such subreddit decided it was enough and regularly take them to task over it.

Well: The bonus tax wasn't actually a tax on the amount of risk-taking that a bank was doing (with the understanding that some of that risk would land on the government balance sheet because of the too-big-to-fail effect). It was neither designed to be that, nor was the income that the exchequer earned from that in any way related to what it costs the government to cover that risk. It could be argued that by discouraging remuneration models whereby decision makers share in profits (and therefore also in downside risks), this tax might have even had the opposite effect of increasing risk-taking by increasing moral hazard.

So, really, what it was was plainly and simply: "Here are a bunch of people who are disliked by the majority of the electorate. Therefore, let's have them give us some money."

EDIT: This was the story I was talking about: https://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/10/business/global/10pound.h...
I don't know about needing to be non-judgemental to be mindful. I tend to curse myself out (repeatedly) at self-infractions and it seems to help.

> And you should only be buying the monitor if you are after a reference quality display. In which case you would know how cheap it is.

Apple's display specs are impressive but it's not actually going to compete with reference displays. It's missing all the actual reference display features (interlacing controls, SDI inputs, programmable LUT, info overlays, etc...). You can buy more products that add that, like this input box from Blackmagic: https://www.studiodaily.com/2019/06/blackmagic-caters-apple-... But now the price is adding up and you've got more boxes and dongles to deal with.

But out of the box the display itself is competing with high-end color accurate displays, the content creation displays. It's not competing at all with reference displays.

All that said more relevant to this discussion is the fact that Apple doesn't have a cheaper display at all. If you want a workstation and you go to an Apple store the only monitor option they have is the Pro Display XDR, when all you may actually want or need is the display from an iMac just in a standalone case for use with the Mac Pro.
In this sense "classical" means "not quantum". General relativity is "classic" in the sense that position and momentum are variables rather than operators. They have real values rather than functions.

So it's distinct from "classical" meaning "Newtonian" (or, perhaps "Newtonian + Maxwellian"), which is the sense in which "all of classical physics was special cases of quantum and relativistic physics".
Once intelligence is "solved", most humans are completely and utterly screwed.

Then maybe there should be one rule (as was my most successful dieting effort): Is what you're doing helping make or save money?

I know such a simple rule is probably causing a lot of you to cringe, but I can very easily fit just about any activity of value you or your team embarks on into that question, and it's a rule the entire company can get behind.
