> Not really sure how you'd achieve that latter part without simply constantly changing the algorithm

For many crypto currencies being resistant to ASIC and even GPU miners is an explicit goal since it promotes decentralisation (everyone has a CPU, few have Asics). The usual way to achieve this is to make memory the bottleneck. ASICs are great for speeding up computation and massively parallelising it, but if the bottleneck is not compute but memory or even better memory bandwidth then an ASIC can't have a big advantage.
But isn’t CA eventually going to go after companies who are obviously just trying to circumvent payouts when it becomes clear that they block employees from taking off as much time as they want?

It’s convenient to just have a phone number be the piece both sides know. It’s not as magical if you need to also give your AppleID to every single contact manually, and if you have some sort of Phone Number to AppleID lookup service it’d be abused just as badly is what I’m saying here.

The thing that strikes me about these decline narratives is that they seem unwilling to give even the slightest inch to the "other side". Has the author really never seen (in this case) a beautiful tattoo? Nor asked other people to show them their favorites, or to explain it to them so that they might see as well?
My favorite interpretation is that Zion is actually a server rack, Matrix is another server rack, and that the goal of the multi-sim project was to develop AI that considers itself to be human in essence. Some of the humans in the story are natural humans in VR gear, while some are AI native to the simulation. The AI can't tell the difference. When someone they know is sleeping, are they dreaming, or is their operator just taking a coffee break?

There's no better explanation for Neo stopping the sentinels in the "real world", or for Agent Smith taking over a human body in it, than it being just another layer of simulation. And if the "real" is a simulation, what is its purpose?

The Agents in the Matrix and AI machines in the "real" can react so quickly because they both run at variable FPS, and they are being controlled by natural human input. Like in EVE Online, the FPS drops when combat gets hairy, and for the natural humans, the simulation seems to slow down.

Don't give The Matrix too much credit. I remember thinking it was the most original movie I had seen in a long time. Then I saw Ghost In The Shell and realized it wasn't that original after all.
I drew one archetypal shape, then add random noise to the spline control points for each instance. That means, to get the results looking right, I had to tweak the archetype, and the 2D noise variance, potentially separately for each point. I ended up with something reasonable, that looks a little off sometimes, and also never varies too far from the expected shape, like real puzzles do.

A tangent on the "multiple solutions" thing - some large commercial puzzles are (evidently) larger than the maximum die size, so they are cut with multiple copies of the same pattern. A 5000-piece puzzle might have four copies in a 2x2 grid.
Most of the "most over-hated" is just "hate" because it's cool.

Spoiler alert

Your idea in (1) is quite similar to the plot twist in The Fall of Hyperion (1991). The AI's in the novel and Hyperion (1989) live within the system of instant-transport "farcaster" gates. They use the human minds that are in transit through the network as their computational power, while at the same time enslaving the human race to an existence of lazy consumption rather than evolution and galactic expansion.

Porting that idea to the world of The Matrix would have been even more sinister, since the human bodies were also trapped in the vats of nutrient goo.

Talk therapy is helpful, since it forces you to address the underlying thought processes behind the stress response in an environment that is outside of said process, with someone who can point you to alternate thoughts and beliefs.

In the pure physical response, you can practice breathing exercises or distract the body with another stimulus. A friend of mine who has very high general anxiety uses their phone. Another friend will grab a handful of ice (in a bag to avoid mess) and hold it in their hands until it melts.

Formats tend to be tied in some strong nature to the way the engine works. Think of it this way: you could create your own engine, but then every difference between your engine and Unity is a bug from the artist's perspective (thing works correctly in Unity but does not in your engine).

There's no sense in using the same format for your engine if you don't implement every single last checkbox and dropdown.
Yes, you can imagine infinite recursion just as you can imagine an infinite 2d plane: infinity is good for a "woah dude", but adding infinity doesn't give you any structure and so it amounts to saying "imagine anything could happen".
Many would argue Plan 9 did succeed -- as a research OS. Many of its ideas and concepts trickled into other OSes.

There are many reasons for it's failure to gain traction as a general purpose OS, but one major one is that it was never marketed as a general use OS. It was always in the realm of a research OS. So that all but "doomed" it from the start.
A key constituent of almost every "bubble" (massively overused term) is a long period where everyone laughs at the doubters.

Contrary to popular understanding, almost every major bubble has been reported as such before the fact. When Bitcoin was running up, everyone said it was a bubble. Read issues of the Economist from 04/05, they even had a cover story on the housing bubble. Before 2001, we had "irrational exuberance" (and the Fed choosing to cut rates into a boom). Before inflation in the 1970s, read minutes from the Fed...literally three or four years before multiple board members said: "There is going to be significant inflation". Before multiple currency crises in Britain through the 1960/70s, again BoE was telling govt: "If you continue you will cause inflation and devalue" (amazingly, one prime minister was actually responsible for both devaluations in this period). Go back even further, I read a paper about the Bicycle Bubble in Britain in the 1870s...again, lots of press about how it was a bubble.

It isn't hard. These aren't "black swans". This is human nature, it never changes. Because something is not happening now, does not mean it can never happened (incidentally, when these things do pop...you usually have a year plus to get out...humans are slow).

The amount of self-important puffery going on in tech is somewhat unique (the people involved are unusually insufferable) but it will burst. No path to profitability for most tech companies, most will go to zero. This has happened with every innovation, every capital cycle since the early 19th century. Again: not hard.

Also: it isn't just tech. It is technology innovation plus the most short-sighted practice of monetary policy in history. What is happening in Europe and Japan is staggeringly dumb (I am glad I will live to see the fallout from this group of self-appointed "experts" using all this massive intellect to drive the economy off a cliff).

That's a horrendous mis-statement of a convoluted political issue. Japan has no sanctions against Samsung directly, they are upset that materials they export to South Korea keep showing up in North Korea, while SK denies being the cause.

There's a separate case which was decided in SK courts claiming in short that Japan should give SK more reparations, because of course a court is going to consistently find in favor of their own country versus a luke-warm neighbor over a historical tension.

I'm assuming you mean the US there and ... I'm not convinced because when the UK asked the US for assistance with their Iran-seized ship recently, the US told them to go away. They had to go to the EU for assistance (hilariously.)
Perhaps even further than that! It may make humanity realize that, just as oil is too valuable to burn, pigs are too valuable to use for bacon instead of life saving medical treatments.
Keep it.

Porting to rust is easier if it doesn't require a person to be an expert at two different kinds of inline assembly syntax. Being able to grab a chunk of inline assembly from a C project is very useful.

Whatever you do, don't embed knowledge of the assembly language into the compiler. That way lies madness. Assembly is often used for new CPU features that are not yet supported by the compilers that people are using. Constantly putting out minor compiler updates for every CPU revision would be miserable, and the users won't want to force those upgrades anyway.

There is also the issue, I'm sorry, of the rust preprocessor. It will be written and it will be used. It may even be popular and ultimately written into an ISO standard. The irregularity of switching suddenly to a radically different CPU-specific syntax for assembly code would make the preprocessor situation much more nasty and gross.
This!!! Nobody gained any skill from writing vanilla code or “hello world” type programs. Experience comes from spending days and sometimes weeks on ugly bugs. Bugs are perfect to level-up juniors quickly and find ones with weak motivation. Because having no progress for hours is really really frustrating. Went recently through this cycle teaching colleague. Found out, there is no motivation at all.

There are plenty of IoT devices that are mains powered, and also many modern microcontrollers include an HTTP stack (e.g. the eps32). But yeah I agree it does seem pretty stupid to say "It's easy! Just use http, SSL, websockets and JSON!" when your device might be sending a single bit and running off a coin cell.

If that's the argument, then votes from members with higher influence should be public, as from the user perspective it's indistinguishable from manipulation.

I'm in the apparent minority of people who generally likes most UI redesigns.

- I liked the iOS redesign immediately. Now we're all so used to it, and now looking back iOS 6 looks like a janky toy, but most people hated iOS 7+.

- I liked the Office ribbon.

> Developers should be responsible for their own QA. QA is not what code reviews are about.

While I agree that each dev is responsible for their own QA and test should be run before opening a PR, two eyes are better than one. If checking the code out on local and testing doesn't take time and there is risk, then I'd say go for it. Catching changes earlier in a PR is less work overall than having to restart a large part of the process when QA catches them. Also see the link Smotko commented with [0], it also addresses your point.

> if proposed change is complex or reviewer want to visually confirm this change, feel free to checkout this branch

Yes, I specified that usability tests are usually reserved for PRs that introduce sufficient code changes and/or risk.

There isn’t any need to question why Amazon is worth a lot.

Investors thought - before AWS - that Amazon would win online retail (more than likely) and once they won, they would have pricing power to increase margins (doesn’t look likely).

With AWS, Amazon does have pricing power to an extent and it is a low marginal cost business. But, it could get Yahoo’d. Yahoo was doing well when it was taking money from venture backed unprofitable startup, but saw its fortunes rapidly turn when VC funding dried up. AWS won’t fall as fast or as hard but it will be affected.

Uber isn’t profitable - even their marginal profit is negative since they subsidize rides. No one knows how well Ubsr will do once it has to raise prices or cut drivers’ salary enough to be profitable.

I recently discovered a documentary: "The Spider’s Web – Britain’s Second Empire". Highlights that as much as 25% of the worlds wealth is held in offshore and onshore British jurisdictions.

The Russians have nothing to do with Trump or Brexit, in my view the connections have been fabricated to seem real only to turn out to be dead ends that don't lead directly to the Kremlin in any meaningful way, both of these events have stifled democracy and social progress. The negative effects will only hurt the population and not the corrupt and nontransparent institutions.

The US and UK look like the least likely countries in the world to start a revolution. The powers at be know this, and we the people know this to an extent.

> Code reviews are probably the first thing a new engineer can start doing in a new role.

That really depends on what you want the code review to achieve.

Catch typos? Yes, a new engineer can do that.

Check if code fits into the existing architecture, adheres to the invariants of the code base, uses base libraries idiomatically etc? I don't think a new engineer can contribute that from the start.

> Creating metrics through issue trackers and time sheets

Which metrics? It's far too easy to create metrics that are easy to measure, rather than metrics which actually increase the business when optimized for (and developers will optimize for / game a metric when it's used to assess their performance).
"Most improvements come from investing in your team"

Very well said. Completely agree. Which is why I think the ability to "learn" as you go is so valuable. You don't want to hire a Know-it-all. You want to hire a Can-learn-it-all.

"In most cases, it's wasted money."

Of course it is!! In a business, it's pretty normal that almost everyone you tell your offer to (advertising) will decline most of the time.

Expecting an advertising impression to turn into a sale 100% of the time is delusional. Even just 10% can be easily considered a remarkably good campaign.

The best evidence for this is that suddenly the entire series starts making more sense. Why can't the machines just take off into space and leave humanity behind? Because they're still running on human meat. It makes sense that the humans shouldn't exactly have control over the simulation, but why do they have any, like Neo? Because the simulation still has huge chunks running in human heads and that part can be influenced strangely, even though I think it's equally clear a great deal of the simulation is running on conventional computers too. (And yes, the Architect may goose that along, but he isn't creating it.) Why can Neo still influence the Matrix even when outside it? Because he still has some kind of subconscious connection to it, with wireless presumably provided by the gear in his body (+ whatever the Architect did). Why are the non-main characters such cardboard cutouts? They're literally running on only a fraction of their own brain; the exiles are the ones that for whatever reason, grew into their own brain more than the average person.

And I don't just mean "fanon" sense, though, yes, there's an element of that, but more actual sense.

It's still kinda a mess, even from this point of view, but it's pretty good for a Hollywood effort.

I feel similarly mystified sometimes as I've never needed one. When my mom mentions paying off a CC bill, I think "why not just use debit?" Maybe she'll have to delay purchases or occasionally miss out on something, but it ends up being the same money.

There are also people who are below the income line of paycheck-to-paycheck, people with addictions, people who have jobs or lives with risk of injury and thus medical bills or unpaid leave for recovery, people who have a big family with needs they have to pay or travel for... and I feel people can use CCs because rich people culture pressures them to cling to things and the idea of being "successful" to attract peers and love interests... but that's just my subjective analysis.
Funny enough, Chrome Embedded Framework runs multiple processes to render the GUI. The main event loop is running in the host process, but there's others for GPU operations, etc.
Now granted I only have a undergraduate degree in Chemistry, but to me, the statement "the lack of nucleotides causes cells to age" is akin to saying "the lack of steel causes a car factory to stop". Of course if a cell lacks the basic components to divide its DNA it... won't divide? The more interesting question is _why_ are there no nucleotides in cells that are aging.

My sense is that this summary of the underlying article is missing something (not uncommon in scientific journalism), or this really isn't all that revolutionary.

So now that men are willing to admit there is a problem, what are the ED treatment options? The options range from prescription pills, such as Viagra to non prescription pills commonly referred to as natural treatments or supplements such as horny goat weed. In addition, there is a wide variety of non pill based options including diet and exercise (no surprise here), lifestyle changes to reduce stress (affects 20% of men) , acupuncture, pumps and even penile injections.

No matter what treatment options you are considering, it is always important to see you doctor about ED as it can be a symptom of a more serious health problem. Diseases like diabetes or cardiovascular disease, nerve disorders or Peyronie’s disease (a bend in the penis that affects erection) require a physicians diagnosis and attention.

The program I'm describing was funded to work with stem cells derived from embryos.

"All the embryos used in CIRM-funded research were donated from IVF clinics.

The embryos used to create embryonic stem cell lines were already destined to be destroyed."
