Dear journalist...

it’s called forgiveness. Look it up.

The problem with permanent records is, that it forces you to never change. Meaning you deliberately keep a murderer a murderer. Even in cases where their life completely changed since then and they are a valuable contributor to society again.

E.g. no matter how much you try … meet with your old buddies from the school/city you left decades ago … and suddenly you’re the same loser again, getting bullied just like back then.

And if my loved ones were murdered, the LAST thing I would want, is for the murderer to not even be allowed to do good in the world to balance the evil.
Or to act like they did too, and do to them as they did to me.

Because as a child of people who had to murder in war, to not be tortured and raped and murdered (three of my family membera were still murdered and two tortured), I know very well, that there is no such thing as mentally undamaged/unharmed person that intentionally murders somebody when it looks like she has a choice. Or who does no regret it when they come to their senses.

Let people heal!
Violence, even simple holding a grudge and shaming, which is what you did, dear journalist, is not making anything better. Only worse.

We aren’t truly out of the dark ages, until we forego revenge (aka ”punishment“ aka violent harm) and manage to fix even murderers and rapists to make them functioning parts of society again.
I'm with you. Though typing `if (a = 1) {}` happens to me sometimes, and const may catch this earlier. I don't use a linter anymore, but I suppose any serious linter would warn about assignement in a condition, anyway.

Is it possible to replace the RW head on a tape drive? I guess the manufacturers generally don't want this to be easily replaceable, so they can sell more drives...

I can also recommend the text book on applied topology that is mentioned in the video: https://www.math.upenn.edu/~ghrist/notes.html

Prof. Ghrist is an excellent educator and has a knack for presenting complex materials in a very engaging way. His papers on computational topology are also very well worth a read even if you are not interested in topology or topological data analysis.
This seems a touch counter intuitive, no? Can't these be easily be used to make existing fakes that much better, or are we far past that mattering?

Try games that also exist on Mac, on the same hardware. They perform visibly better on windows, just because of DirectX. Maybe it's because game devs know DirectX better, but still it's a superior experience even on the same hardware. (eg Civ 5 / 6, most Blizzard games)

> there are often ways to fix a bad situation by breaking some explicit rules and carefully following implicit ones, and I wish I had the acuity to see these possibilities on my own.

Now extrapolate that to working in BigCo, which has tens of thousands of employees worldwide, with each country having its own unique unspoken rules and hidden undercurrents. The greatest lesson I learnt is the importance of giving people the benefit of the doubt unless they've really proven they are a bad actor, because over and over again problems turn out to be cultural at base.
There is a really good podcast on why large projects fail....

https://omegataupodcast.net/181-why-megaprojects-fail-and-wh...

It talks about sources of bias in estimates, and why that bias is so prevelant.
The larger the project the more possible variables there are that can affect it. It's impossible to predict all of them.
Half the thickness?
Does anyone have thoughts on the 15-inch versus the 13-inch MacBook Pro these days?

Particularly anybody who has used both for an extended period of time. Is the 13 screen size impractical small? Is it worth the tradeoff in weight for being easier to carry around?

> PXE boot Talos in packet

I'm a fan of the bare metal providers, btw, though I mainly tried out Scaleway for a while.

> PXE boot Talos on every boot

IMO this is a great thing, since once your combination of tftp/dnsmasq/matchbox/http is configured and deployed, you don't need anything else.

In the current, old setup I use, I just flip the PXE-boot switch (e.g. w/ ipmitool) to image the node's drive with whatever install process and then switch back to local boot, but switching boot device and the local hard drive are both extra failure modes (at least in my aging bare metal cluster)
>The MacBook doesn't need less ports, it doesn't need to be thinner.

I think this needs further explanation, because I do think people want less port and thinner. Just not at the inconvenience of it.

Example, had there been a Wireless Standard that allow direct transfer of 5Gbps+ Real World speed, energy efficient, widely available etc. I dont need more ports. I need one for power / Display and that is it.

I would love the MacBook to be thinner, but not at the expense of having only 7W cTDP CPU and zero-travel keyboard. ( And I know we are approaching the limit of physics )

And I wanted to point out, when the current MacBook generation were designed, Apple were looking at Roadmaps of upcoming tech. That is 802.11ad 60Ghz and its successor 802.11ay with 80Gbps direct transfer, 802.11ax with 3.2Gbps and more. Intel 10nm that is suppose to be Super Power efficient, and its 7nm that superseded it.

All of these were suppose to come in 2016 / 2017. And if there were delays, may be 2018. But none of them did, we are closing in to 2020 and we are just starting to see WiFi 6 coming out. And judging from Intel's extremely conservative statement 10nm won't be in high volume any time soon either.

So Apple designed their product with future iteration in mind for the next 4 years and none of that went according to plan.

On one hand I blame them for not reacting, like their Keyboard they simply refuse to admit there is a problem until a Journalist herself had the same problem described and decide to write a piece on it that went viral. On the other hand I believe everyone were blindsided, the WiFi 6 tech has been on trade show since 2017, and it keep getting delayed, Intel kept thinking their 10nm will come. And most Keyboard problems dont actually went to Apple Store for repair because we cant afford to have 3 days without our laptop. And Apple thought the stats were fine.

It’s not really related to determination of use value or other qualitative questions. If my blender, or even my blood pressure machines, gets recalled, the company doesn’t break into my house to cut the wires for my safety. How is this not a basic violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act?

Edit: canada and cyprus only is why.
I respect your reasoning, just a counterpoint:

I (and I know quite some programmers who think the same) really hate it when for piquing my interest some fancy puzzle/problem is presented, but the real work that is to be done has nothing to do with the marketing. I don't believe that such kind of "false advertising" is a smart way to retain talent.

If I wanted to attract talent, I would rather put some problems on the company website that are really related to problems that occur(ed) in such a job position to attract talent that exactly loves the kind of problems that likely does occur at the job position that I want to fill.
I can't help thinking we'd be better off with lots of smaller projects. At least then the possibility for mega-overruns is limited. And I'm not sure the economies of scale argument holds water when the supposed savings almost always seem to miraculously evaporate to be replaced by cost overruns and extra profits for the contractors.

That would seem to preclude things like criminal background checks, or even calling up universities to verify any educational credentials the applicant listed on their resume.

It wouldn't help if new features extend the capabilities of existing stuff (which is done all the time). For example the CSS Shader example from before adds new syntax to the existing 'filter' css style, which you might've already whitelisted because it is safe today.
Prayer is a human act of connection that has been going on longer than recorded history. Evolutionarily, if most people felt it was hopelessness, it wouldn’t have lasted so long.

Modern feelings of hopelessness and nihilism extremely common in the western world, many people are dealing with these feelings through medication. The effectiveness of regular prayer on mental health is surprising according to studies and demographic data.
Answer: it is not based on real statistics nor experience
Surely there at least needs to be some way to seek independent verification (or otherwise) of the information provided by the applicant. We can't be expected to make hiring decisions solely and entirely on people's self-provided information.
I recently worked on a project with a big finance/insurance company. Their IT still uses W7 and IE. "Well it just works for us"

Let's just say I was baffled - I really thought it's all a meme until I saw it with my own eyes.
OK, I admit it. I use the meek strategy. Why? because I believe the parking spots that minimize walking from car to destination should be left empty for people who need them more than I do.

On the rare occasion where I need to minimize walking (because I have something heavy to carry, for example) I park to minimize walking even if I have to waste some time and fuel doing it. In that case it helps me when other people use my default strategy.

Optimization-theory work like this paper has a fundamental flaw: it assumes the actor is a classic "econ" -- the ideal person (defined by classical economics) working to optimize purely personal utility. In fact, many people work to optimize community utility.

Studying that community-optimization model is harder. But it is probably worthwhile. Such large-scale systems as autonomous vehicles will require community optimization to succeed.

It's time to reread Kahneman and Tversky, and Richard Thaler.

This is a copyright/intellectual property issue, not a right to be forgotten issue.

If you wrote it, outside of employment, you hold the copyright to what you have written. I believe that is so internationally.

The hypothetical companies publishing that writing are breaching your copyright.

Even if you were commissioned to write a piece for a particular purpose, it is likely (by my understanding) that you still hold the copyright, and the hypothetical companies are still breaching your copyright by using your work for an unlicensed purpose.

I’m not a physicist, but in general, Abelian means that operations in an algebra commute, while Non Abelian means that they don’t, which is to say that Abelian means that a+b=b+a

To give a non mathematical example of a non-Abelian algebra, think of a Rubik’s cube where moves are the ‘numbers’ and composition of moves is the operation.

If you turn the right face clock wise and then turn the top face counter clockwise, that does not produce the same state as turning the top face counter clockwise and the turning the right face clockwise (try it out if you have one handy). Solving the cube in general requires exploiting this property by using what are called commutators, which are performing a move and then another move and then reversing the second move and reversing the first move. If it were Abelian, then that would leave you in the place where you started — which is to say you reversed time — but the state will actually have changed where the first and second move manipulated the same pieces — which makes it non Abelian and breaks ‘time symmetry’

So in this case, think of some physical operation that changes the state of the object somehow as being the same as a Rubik’s cube move, and assuming the operations have an inverse, that performing a commutator where you do one operation and then another and then invert the second and then the first, that leaves you in a new state, which would not be the case if it were time invariant.
This is a very strange article with very unsympathetic protagonists. So two Italian muckrakers can't make a living publishing random details about people's lives, so what?

The issue here is that unlike today, even 20 years ago finding information used to be non-trivial. So there was little long-term damage to having a small Italian paper publish your name, in relation to charges that were eventually dropped. It still wasn't ideal, but it wasn't fatal to your reputation.

Today, anything and everything is online and follows people around like an unshakeable shadow. So of course these folks have the "right to be forgotten" -- it's bringing balance back to the equation.

"Journalists" are the worst perpetrators of this -- shout the lies loudly, but whisper the retraction or the truth. Good for the Europeans to have this law in place.

From the paper:

"However, if there a few meek drivers while the majority follow the prudent or optimistic strategy, then the meek strategy is not bad because meek drivers will park
a distance λ from the target."

I am a 'meek' driver for this very reason. My assumption is that the majority of other drivers are either 'optimistic' or 'prudent,' and as such the parking cost of the meek strategy is much lower. Would be very interesting to test this in the real world!

> Last week, prices for new wind power delivered by 2025 were set at prices as low as £40 per megawatt hour. By comparison, power from Hinkley Point C is expected to cost £92.50 per megawatt hour

And I don’t think that £92.50 price includes these cost overruns. £92.50/MWh is the price the government was willing to guarantee, but which left the developer responsible for cost overruns. But for the next generation plants the developers want the government to take on the risk.

The £40/MWh offshore wind bids are less than the cost just to run existing gas plants, mainly the fuel cost, which means you’re actually saving money by adding wind alongside a gas generator. Such a system will make it difficult to get above a certain percentage of renewables because of the need for gas backup, but maybe we should be spending money on developing new storage technology to facilitate wind and solar with predictable falling costs, rather than on deploying nuclear where the costs seem to be consistently high.

In my junior year of college (very early 2000s), a senior friend was accused of rape by a classmate. Within two days he had to hide out at my girlfriend's house because a large group of large athletes was on the hunt for him to beat him up. Within weeks he was expelled from school. I don't recall the police ever being contacted.

Turns out the girl was ashamed she voluntarily slept with him. She admitted it to friends a couple months later. That was too late, of course. She received zero punishment. He was "lucky" that the police weren't notified on Day 1.

You can ask for verifications of course. You can get copies of the degrees, access any GitHub account the applicant provides, call to former employers they provided as recommendations. If applicant refuses to do that, well, I suppose you can use that factoid in the hiring decision too.

Just ask for permission to google if it's crucial for the process.
The NSA is subject to oversight from all three branches of government. So, to the point that you don't believe two or three entire administrations are/were actively working for a foreign power, you can reasonably assume that the NSA is not committing treason.

A lot is going wrong there, but there are limits imposed by the transparency and rule of law. Compare that situation to a country like the Russian Federation.
Can confirm too. avahi on linux and whatever mac's use to implement mDNS (bonjour?).
I am wondering how did the "meek" strategy look like in detail.

Because, if you try to occupy the very first spot available, then of course it makes very little sense. But I believe that a "human meek" would instead skip the whole line of unoccupied spaces and take the last spot in such a line. This "unoccupied line" does not even have to begin with the first parking space, but for example with the third. Though you need to assume that the line of empty spots is in driver's line of sight.

> Or when Google decided to remove rotation from the home screen on Android 2.3 -- it wasn't a huge problem, but I could have sworn that something changed. Users were conflicted, many convincing themselves that the homescreen never rotated at all.

For this specific feature, on LineageOS, you can restore home screen rotation. I don't really understand why it's off by default though, it's confusing to have apps rotate but not the home screen.

I've always assumed they know what they are doing (Android UX seems quite good, despite what my three years younger self would think), but I don't get this. Is it because you can mess up your home screen by adding or moving icons when rotated?

Arguably, lots of smaller projects means lots more contractors, duplicated work and parts -- every location needs a buffer zone, fencing, security, printer cartridges, and coffee, to name a few mundane costs
