For better or worse, pure C++ APIs have lost the war on GUI frameworks.

Microsoft is the only consumer OS vendor that still supports C++ for doing full stack GUI apps, everyone else moved into a mix of C++ plus managed language or layout DSL.

Very cool! And yes, all the data is out there and is public, it's just a problem of filtering through the noise to get the signal. Because < 0.01% of topics discussed online are sustainable trends, it can take a bit of engineering work to do this all...

1. at a non exorbitant cost
2. in a time period where it takes less time than the cycle of information otherwise it's useless by the time the trend is surfaced.

Somewhat tangential but also maybe not: Matt Levine's "Money Stuff" is a fantastic newsletter. It's consistently hilarious while explaining a digestible number of very real events in finance and tech. He regularly muses about the absurdities and appreciating the bumbling creativity of humans. As you might expect, he spends a lot more time on the topics that fit into those interests (i.e. the recurring segment "blockchain blockchain blockchain" about companies being founded around/pivoting to blockchain with seemingly no reason to use it vs. a database except for hype.)

Anyway, great writer and I'd encourage folks to subscribe.

Also a great writer, and this _is_ almost entirely tangential, but also maybe not: Jia Tolentino. "Trick Mirror", her first book of essays, came out yesterday and the first is an accounting of the internet and our collective descent into hell, the subsumption of self through social media, the irreconcilable promise of the web vs. its business model, our magnified sense of the importance of our own opinions, feeling good about saying things vs. doing the work (e.g. tweeting about politics vs. organizing; changing our profile picture to add an overlay for a cause vs. working to solve that issue; etc.) All of this in <30 pages. Stunning work of prose, somewhat depressing, and tightly delivered with measured sobriety vs. the performative outrage we've grown accustomed to (she also covers that.)

> In some fields, more than half of the tenured professors at the top 100 schools in the USA completed their PhD from a top 5 PhD program in their field.

In a lot of Humanities fields, it's worse. Though I can't seem to find The Atlantic article right now, I can remember one from a few years ago that stated that in fields like French Literature, there has never been a tenured professor in the US that came form anything other than one of ten schools, going back many decades. That said, these professors still taught at a place other than those ten schools and had PhD students themselves. These students stood exactly zero chance at tenure achievement. These new PhDs could, of course, go on to live lives outside of the ivory tower. However, in the Humanities, it does smell strongly of disingeniousness on the part of the tenured faculty to take on students, charge them, and train them in fields that they know they cannot possibly be employed in to any 'real' effect.

I cannot imagine the metal gymnastics that must go on in the Ethics fields these days.

Fun idea: buy junk vendor swag (stuffed animal, glass globe, etc) off of ebay in bulk, then mail it to people you know have recently left the company (say, from scanning LinkedIn). They'll probably keep the package around for a while before disposing of it. Or even better, someone else claims it as 'free swag,' and keeps it in the office.

Maybe it'll stay in there a long time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_(listening_device)

My friend did this with his neighbor's wifi (with their permission of course) just to see if he could. He got trial access to some super computers in the Google cloud (sorry I'm not more specific, just recollecting what he told me) and was able to crack with that horsepower in a day or so.
If the password is a predictable, low-length alphanumeric password it’s not going to take long for something like a multi-GPU machine with some dictionaries to break it.
Juries are supposed to apply “common sense” as well as evaluate the veracity of testimony. If expert domain knowledge is necessary, expert witnesses will be called to present it. Experts on a jury are a problem because they will essentially provide alternate evidence outside the public court procedure (jury proceedings are secret), and because their expertise is not subject to challenge by the other side. (Imagine the Dunning-Kruger effect in a jury setting.)

I think everyone would benefit from learning a little bit of code and maybe databases. Not necessarily for practical purposes, but rather to expose them to it since so much of the modern world runs on software. The same way as we are thought the basics of chemistry, biology, physics, history, geography etc in school, I think kids should be thought the basics of software too. Give them some exposure, show them a little behind the curtains and.. then let them decide if they want to do more or not, same as the other sciences and subjects we teach kids and teens in school.
+1 Here's why:

ag provides sane default and settings for developers. grep is ubiquitous and great, but to do what most developers want it requires some guidance, whereas ag focuses on being what you want most of the time.

What I mean by that is that I enjoy the smart-case sensitivity (as in, if there are not caps in my pattern, then it defaults to case-insensitive but if I have any caps in my pattern, it uses case-sensitive) or fast filename searching with -g or both with -G.

I've tried rg and while it was faster, it also didn't provide as good support for filename searching. Ag is still what I consider "so fast I almost don't believe it"

It's like the 'tldr' command (https://tldr.sh/). Of course I still use man pages, but having something that gets me what I really need very quickly is important.

Steps:

1. Use ag

2. If ag isn't present, try to install ag

3. If I can't install ag, then use grep or find, no big deal.

This is anecdotal obviously, but we recently moved to a new house a bit further away from the city (Western Europe), and we definitely noticed that the flies are very slow and generally apathetic / lacking self-preservation instinct.

Many times they land on a table and you can nudge them and they don't even fly away. We attributed it to the recent change in location, like maybe the flies here are stupid or since we have many more lizards maybe there is weird selection bias.

There is also virtually no mosquitoes even though we are near a lake and when we used to come here a few decades ago they were everywhere, it was a impossible to stay outside without repellent.
Love the idea! It always made me nervous when I was given access to other teams tools with the ability to inadvertently break them.

It sounds like for now you could still end up with out-of-band changes because you can’t force folks to use a browser extension before twiddling switches on a confit page. What’s your long term vision for tackling that aspect of the problem?

I've worked for myself a couple of times, where I get to various degrees through the process... I've typically found a sweet spot with doing custom work that has proprietary code that I can apply towards new clients... the work tends to be more interesting for me.

It might also be worth mentioning that product ownership isn't intrinsically better than providing a service if you have your business model honed really well. We tend to promote that bigger is always better and that scale is the only way to make money... neither are inherently true.

... but the above comment I was putting forward is based on the team from Basecamp and my business mentors.

Regarding your question: The process takes balance and focus. Arguably, a harder part is customer selection to find the right client to help you with both your short term and long term goals.

Err, if a self driving car just breaks in that situation, then it fails all of the above goals:

1) "be as good or better than humans at not crashing"

It could still crash because of momentum/distance. It could cause a pile-up.

2) react to situations in a manner similiar to and predictable by humans

People would swerve depending on the situation. It's extremely common, and the logical thing to do in many cases.

>not make any important stakeholders more likely to get sued

Getting sued depends on the effect of your actions. If you kill/hurt your passengers, cause a pile-up, hit the person in front, etc. you will get sued.

>actually be implementable with current or near future technology

That's irrelevant...
If MS is now serious about cross-platform compatibility (and they have been moving in that direction), they should consider building a bridge over the filesystem divide as well. One or more of these would be useful:

- Shipping a ext4 filesystem driver for Windows.

- Contributing to exfat/ntfs drivers for Linux/Mac OS.

Both would be even better.
This is wrong. Also, the constitution says whatever the majority of the court says it does.
I think the main differentiator for webflow is the user experience of their tool. Its very well done, intuitive, easy to use but doesn't oversimplify. If designing app front ends was this easy it would be awesome.

In my mind the hook into their hosting service is keeping them from their potential. If they had a stand alone tool I could use or a corp lvl tool, it could be big.

That being said, maybe there is more money in it for them to do it this way. But as a designer I see so much missed opportunity to unit design and code for front end work. (And eventually basic app functionalities)

>What earthly purpose would that serve? They're scientists; they subscribe to a moral system.

The moral system is unrelated to their scientific advice.

It also doesn't cover the "don't eat X animals" part, as even for their society (e.g. USA) that's debatable ethically, and not something the generally acceptable moral system holds.

I've had a slightly better track record with OnTrac than Amazon Logistics, but they are both exceedingly terrible. Truly awful, both of them.
Amazon put a flag on my old address to not use FedEx fulfillment because they had 100% failure rate. FedEx always managed to drop the package at a different but similar house number than mine (e.g. 698 or 588 instead of 598).

It was a single family home in a neighborhood of ~100 homes on 2 intersecting roads, so not really hard to find.

UPS, USPS, and Amazon had no problems finding my house. Even had a couple freight companies make deliveries on Amazon's behalf without issues.

I use to standby FedEx as my preferred shipper but they've really gone down hill since the early 2000s IMO.
>The conspiracy you imagine of academic administrators shutting down research that undermines climate change because of gender studies is inane.

You've misrepresented my point. The point is that the existence and condoning of politically slanted departments like those of gender studies is further evidence of a strong liberal bias in academic administration, which will inevitability bleed into management of climate science because of how politicized it has become.
It depends on the definition of "derived work", which is a legal definition, not a technical definition. For "user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls", everyone agrees that it's not a derived work ("[...] this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does not fall under the heading of "derived work"."). For kernel modules, which use the internal kernel API instead of system calls, it's less clear.

Also, you cannot say that zfs.ko "is clearly not a derivative work of the Linux kernel but rather quite obviously a derivative work of OpenZFS and OpenSolaris" - if that were the case, that kernel module clearly wouldn't work, since the internal kernel API of the Linux kernel and of the Solaris kernel is completely different. Whether the changes necessary for zfs.ko to work with the Linux kernel make zfs.ko as a whole a "derived work" of the Linux kernel or not is a more complex question.

But that's not the worst issue. The real problem is: under what license is the whole kernel, once you linked together the common Linux parts (which are under GPL2) and the ZFS parts (which are under the CDDL)? The "mere aggregation" provisions of GPL2 clearly don't apply, and the licenses are incompatible (on purpose, it's been documented that CDDL was intentionally made incompatible with the GPL). Since the CDDL can't apply (due to the GPL parts), and the GPL can't apply (due to the CDDL parts), distributing the combined whole would be a copyright violation.

That is billing fraud.

You are only allowed to bill a unit of time to 1 client unless the work actually involved multiple clients. Thus, if you bill a client for 1 hour, you cannot bill a separate client for that same hour. You can, however, divide up that hour and equally bill clients for a portion of the hour.

If you bill on an hourly basis but switch between clients during that hour, generally you need to track your time down to portions of an hour and bill out at the end of the billing period accordingly. Thus, if you bill hourly but worked on client X for 0.56 hours 8 times, you would bill them for 4 or 5 hours at the end of the period, not 8.

It's unfair to say that there is no salting. The PMK is derived from the WiFi network name (SSID) as well as the password [1]. The SSID acts as a salt here. Not perfect as SSIDs are often not unique, but it's certainly better than no salting at all.

LA getting serious about lifting parking requirements in downtown
From what I've read "cruel and unusual punishment" is less of an AND statement about punishments being cruel and non-standard and more of a double descriptor of the cruelty with the unusual portion more focused on a sort of terrible inventiveness and also, IMO to stand as a sort of fallback for questionable punishments, if the punishment is innovative it would need to be proven to not be cruel before it's application - and the US has (IMO) failed to adhere to this standard in the past with some methods of administering the death penalty - specifically the electric chair.

I personally don't like death penalties (due to their misuse as a political tool and the general high error rate of judgement) but I believe proper lethal injection fits perfectly within the bounds of not being cruel nor unusual.

So, if someone said that lethal injection was more humane if administered in direct sunlight while the injectee was hanging upside down due to blood movement some-such... assuming they were telling the truth about the efficacy then it'd likely pass the 8th amendment.

That is more complicated than you might think. In a lot of ways the legal profession is only a semi-functioning market--at least compared to software. On one hand, there are fairly amazing and very longstanding restrictions on how attorneys can market their services. This makes it harder (or outright impossible) for an attorney to market, so that diminishes (but does not eliminate) comparative technical advantage. On the other hand, salaries for most starting attorneys (i.e, associates) are fixed nationwide and proceed, generally, in lockstep, so almost all firms will pay the same, regardless of technical skill. So, the attorney is likely more "employable," but the market signals are substantially muted.
I imagine so, but you still have to deal with the underlying problem -- the coils are an inductive load -- and not just at one scan rate, but over all the scan rates you are using and at all frequencies in the signals you are displaying.
> Patent law is no longer a good career track. There are so many patent agents today (post-recession) that it's very difficult to find non-contract jobs. Patent litigation is still a lucrative career path and doesn't require a US science/engineering degree, but it is significantly harder and more stressful. Patent litigation is also more about the litigation than the patent, so quite often the best patent litigators have no engineering or science background at all!

Now I find this out? And I loved litigation. So to add to my list of not to-dos: Don't boutique or solo right out of law school and if you don't like the answer you hear, be like that client who keeps asking the same question in slightly different ways hoping for a different answer until you get that different answer, and it's correct, and you've found the way into the area of the law you'd prefer to be in.
