I'm pessimistic. I doubt things will change unless all the major platform owners can come to an agreement on a common API for GPU compute. If NVIDIA were the only holdout, they might be forced to support it.

As it stands, CUDA is the only API with a decent implementation available on the three major desktop OSes. It's ridiculous.
This is indeed how it has been, but concessions like the rule of law and vaguely representative democracy were very hard won, and if not protected will slowly be clawed back.

I am reminded of a fascinating paragraph about Grothendieck from the book The Music of the Primes by Marcus du Sautoy. Quoting it from Chapter 12: The Missing Piece of the Jigsaw here:

But for Grothendieck this was not abstraction for abstraction's sake. In his view this was a revolution that was necessitated by the questions that mathematics was trying to answer. He wrote volume after volume describing this new language. Grothendieck's vision was messianic, and he began to attract a following of faithful young disciples. His output was huge, covering some ten thousand pages. When a visitor complained at the poor state of the library at the Institut, he replied, 'We don't read books here, we write them'.
> It’s cute how you use demeaning expressions like “it’s nice to feel in control”.

It wasn't meant to be demeaning. I earnestly believe the reason a lot of people buy into the rhetoric of personal responsibility is because the alternative (they have no control over the situation and need to trust politicians to solve the problem) is more terrifying than blaming themselves for the situation.

The bad-faith argument would've been to say that you they were peddling anti-science climate change propaganda. I didn't say it because (while it does happen to be something pushed by deniers of climate-change, in order to divert attention away from political solutions) most people who say it do honestly believe it.

But yes, the US and other first world countries need to take responsibility for the situation. I don't think getting individuals to blame themselves is helping move towards the goal of stopping this crisis.
You don’t create breakthroughs through checklists.

Examples:

“This study says 80% of successful pitches have a ‘purpose’ slide so we need a purpose slide”

“If we build a control tower, the cargo planes will return”
It's pretty clear they're implying that the company did not value seniority or talent and ended up losing atleast one senior person with valuable knowledge-without being able to realize what exactly the person contributed. Never a good sign.

Sometimes all it takes is that one key engineer leaving to kick off the domino of "how do we fix this issue/make something with our software stack?" glitches across the org
To be fair, that looks like their site's footer (see blog), but agree it would make sense to remove it on that page, to not contradict the message :)
As a foreigner, I'm amazed by how little weight Americans seem to put on international competitiveness. I mean, I guess I should be gleeful that you have presidential candidates that want to blow up the only companies that give you a competitive edge. But really, isn't Warren at all concerned that the ones to pick up the pieces after her plan is implemented are very unlikely to be American?
> There is no way to prove that a supposedly random source of information is not effectively a PRNG.

Maybe no practical way. But a finite state PRNG will be periodic while a true RNG won’t. And the length of the non observed period gives you an estimate of the minimal size of state.
I can definitely see this issue, Some people just tend to end up "shaping" the software shipped for better or worse. If the org didn't emphasize documentation/knowledge sharing with someoene equally knowledge it would turn out to be pretty horrible

Not immune, no. But the majority of work was figuring out the authentication logic and reading/writing the tokens in a way that is compatible with Azure CLI. The parsing of the REST API response is comparatively easy.

Azure is still changing a lot, but they also have an OK policy with their API changes, IMO. Old API versions are kept alive for some time, so there's always some time to migrate.
>A practical solution, IMO, would be several organizations running and publishing the builds—i.e. several independent F-Droids. Then, a few interested people could rather trivially automatically download the binaries and compare them. If one of the ‘stores’ gets compromised, a mismatch in binaries would indicate that.

This idea has been discussed for years in the reproducible builds project. There has been some progress on this part on the Debian side of things, and you can in practice deploy rebuilders and make APT communicate and compare signed attestations.

It seems like this sort of thinking would lead to a "race to the bottom" where every country gives maximum leniency to its biggest companies. I'm not sure that's good for anyone.
If the company wants employment to be a success, rather than a temporary period of grudging extraction of value through pain, then they have to go as far as is necessary to accommodate the employee.

The details will be different for every case, but generous work from home rules can help a lot.

Great post! The general point of „being honest with yourself and the people around you“ is something much more people should take to heart, regardless of any existing medical conditions. It makes life so much easier and once you have a clearly defined problem you can start working on an effective solution. It all comes down to software engineering, really ;)
That seems like quite the wrong incentive for learning. A lot of ambitious plans fail. To be graded only on the final delivery gives adequate incentive to execute. I perhaps get the education signal that executing successfully on a plan is a worthwhile skill, but isn't learning also experimenting?
“While these projects will help build energy supply on the continent, the International Energy Agency has said sub-Saharan Africa needs to invest $300 billion in order to achieve universal electricity access by 2030.”

It's not entirely uncommon for people in the West (at least, those born after the end of the Apollo program) to think there was only one landing, too. The Apollo 11 mission just looms so large in the history that it tends to shadow a lot of other things, even the rest of the Apollo program. '13 would be the next most well-known one, and that because of the Hollywood movie.

I wonder how "American" a multinational company really is, or what it even means for a company to be "located" in a particular country. A company probably puts its headquarters in the location where its executives want to live, where they think that they might be able to hire people readily, or something along those lines. Those things wouldn't be dramatically changed by breaking up the big tech companies. Where they pay taxes, if any, is already independent of where they are "located."
Any reason they chose "Afraid" as their name? A name is just a name, but it feels a bit offputting to use that in the address of my home server, tbh.

For those wanting a quiet home server for cheap, go for a well-ventilated tower PC, best with passive CPU cooler and a quiet case and power supply fan. You can put that box in a bedroom and almost never see it/hear it.

Rackmount server in home people so often brag about on the Internet is a very loud and impractical way to run network services from home, unless you have separate room for it.
I really liked this article. A lot of the things mentioned seem to be necessary because the author has “passing privilege”, but some are necessary due to poor management practices. Stand ups and in person meetings are two spots where this frequently happens.

I’ve inherited teams where everyone needs to stand during standup, or worse, where they do the push-up/plank thing if you want to speak. It shouldn’t take a great manager to realize these actions are exclusionary and have nothing to do with their job. Yes, I've gotten pushback from teams when I've told them to stop doing it during "their standup", but that's something we need to do as leaders.

Likewise for meetings, if you’re holding a meeting and people are standing or sitting on the floor, ask yourself, why are they there, how should they participate, and what should they take out of a meeting. It’s unlikely they’ll be able to meet those goals in the physical space you’ve secured. As the person running the meeting, it's your job to change the location rather than drumming on because it two weeks to schedule the meeting.

Great managers think about these things ahead of time rather than setting up exclusionary environments.
The problem isn't that Dropbox users won't pay, clearly they will. Or at least they would when it was simply a useful utility. The problem is that cloud storage is a commodity now, and Dropbox has to meet investor expectations which has been the death of many a perfectly good app.

I don't see any obvious foreign competitors that would be likely to take over in the US and Europe.

As a very crude and not entirely accurate rule of thumb, large US corporations operate with a monopolistic mindset which is inherently developed-Western-going-on-global.

Competitive countries operate with a more explicitly nationalistic mindset which makes it harder for them to operate in the same market spaces in the same way. (Not impossible - just harder.)

And the language barrier will always be a problem.

So no - I don't expect non-US corporations to take over.

Buckminster Fuller was known as a systems philosopher. He would think that your diagnosis is utterly misguided.

Our society is not worse than it could be because there are bad people in the world. They will always exist. If few bad apples destroys the happiness in the society it's arranged in a wrong way. We have lots of incentives, policies, ideologies and systems where completely normal people are behaving in a way that produces harm to others. People with less empathy get rewarded when you create systems where they thrive.

People should learn systems thinking.

I spent 6 months applying and interviewing "sexier" jobs, but not hearing back. A recruiter approached me for a contract-to-hire opportunity and it was the first that sounded more promising than a rejection. Started making more than I ever have in the past and I enjoyed working with the team. I learned that the people you work with are far more relevant to the dullness of the position. The work isn't always enlightening, but I look forward to coming in because I learn a lot and have a good time with my team.

The much bigger problem relating to this thawing permafrost is the fact that as it thaws it then starts to decompose.

That decomposition not only produces carbon dioxide but also methane and methane is a much worse greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

>why is it NOT OK for Google and Apple to ask for a cut?

I don't think majority of people complaining are actually about the cut, but how much of the cut. And 30% is what a lot of people disagree with.

The reality is somewhere along the line Apple got too focused on their 20% Net Margin, they put themselves into a price corner. Before the iPhone era Apple mostly do ~10% Net margin, and at best some one offs ~13% quarters. Not only has Apple earned 30x the revenue post iPhone's introduction, that have also doubled their margin.

But then Pricing is only one part of the equation, it is the value on offer that matters, which is fundamentally what people are complaining about the App Store as well as iPhone 's prices.
I used his ventilated prose method to parse out and simplify complex statutes. One example was the definition of a slot machine, which consisted of two paragraphs with two sentences each, that took up an entire page of text. It had some deeply nested clauses and an ungodly amount of commas and semi colons. I started with one sentence per line, then broke to one clause per line. From there, I used indentation to sort out exactly which clauses were dependent on what. It made explaining the law to others a lot easier.

Plan your sprint using TRU Estimates, an alternative to story points
The long-term vs short-term mentality was a refreshing culture shock for me. Coming from scrappy digital agency life, everything was fast-paced and reactionary. Anything long-term was nothing short of daydreams. I've been far more effective at solving complex problems when I know I have X days to whiteboard something to start implementation Y weeks later. Plus, I can be as fast-paced as I want with my side projects now

Yeah that's not a bad idea. It's still a big context switch to dual boot tho. Also dumping your entire machine's RAM to disk on an SSD seems questionable for the lifespan of your SSD. That's a huge amount of writes, especially if you're dual booting a few times a day. But maybe it wouldn't matter? I haven't measured how much of an impact that would have.

And in my case, it wouldn't work because I need to be able to record a Linux environment but record / edit videos in a Windows environment, so both OSs need to be running at once.

I suppose it might have been regional, but that was never the case here. You would just download the jars (or cabs) directly from the developer. The only cut would have been the ~2% credit card processing fee.
