I'm personally excited to see what sorts of new treatments will come out of using psychedelics medically. I've always been on the skeptical side of medical marijuana usage in all but the most extreme cases, but I have a feeling that LSD and psilocybin can really provide mental turning points and help people break out of depression.

Reminds me of one of my favorite poems ever, written by a Chaplain during WWI:

When Jesus came to Golgotha, they hanged Him on a tree,
They drove great nails through hands and feet, and made a Calvary;
They crowned Him with a crown of thorns, red were His wounds and deep,
For those were crude and cruel days, and human flesh was cheap.

When Jesus came to Birmingham they simply passed Him by,
They never hurt a hair of Him, they only let Him die;
For men had grown more tender, and they would not give Him pain,
They only just passed down the street, and left Him in the rain.

Still Jesus cried, “Forgive them, for they know not what they do,”
And still it rained the wintry rain that drenched Him through and through;
The crowds went home, and left the streets without a soul to see,
And Jesus crouched against a wall and cried for Calvary.
The problem is this MVP doesn't even fit the objective that the author lists in the beginning. They stated:

> It’s also extremely important to me that an employer has a positive attitude towards diversity and actively encourages candidates from under-represented groups. This is a hard thing to tell from Indeed or a job aggregate site.

But their MVP does nothing at all relating to inclusiveness. It's just a job board CRUD app just like all the other job boards.
IIRC the 20th anniversary version has backgrounds entirely redrawn and pre rendered as bitmap, they're not poly anymore. The animated stuff is the original polys rendered as always, only at much higher resolution than the original 320x200. Sadly they lack detail, see notably at 2:26 in the comparison video. Also at 2:47 you can see perspective has been corrected, but the overall result is less consistent (left wall vs five spoke machine). I very much prefer the original one overall, the reduced detail and inconsistencies in art of the new one just takes away the immersion.

I am Finnish and am equally puzzled about this whole news story. It seems to be referring to an event in August 2019 that celebrated the 120th anniversary of Finland's Social Democratic Party, where Marin apparently suggested reducing the work week. While she is now prime minister, Finland always has a coalition government that currently consists mainly of leftist and centrist parties, and the coalition agenda is the result of a negotiation. The current agenda does not include reducing the work week: the closest I can find is

> The prospects for increasing the flexibility of working time will be examined with a view to balancing the harmonisation of work and family and prolonging working careers. The aim in particular is to improve part-time working opportunities for parents of small children and for those who are caring for elderly relatives.

yes, exactly - if you want to add 2 registers use:

add t0, t1, t2

in the occasional case where you want overflow as well add the other 3 instructions - if you're hand coding in assembler you probably know which you want, if you're using a compiler, it can map it's semantics where appropriate
Inside out tracking is really the only way forward. Having to deal with camera positioning, initial setup and bunch of cables running around is a huge roadblock to adoption. I'd go so far and say that tethered headsets are a huge problem as well.

I've bought a Oculus Quest, it's a standalone headset with inside out tracking that works extremely well. Recently Oculus released an update that allows you to tether Quest to the PC so it can stream PCVR games to the Quest. I believe this is first step in creating an untethered PCVR headset using Quest. Whether we will get it in Quest 1.0 is still to be seen but it's the way forward.

Right now feature wise Quest is very close to the complete package. Only thing really missing is officially supported wireless PCVR capability. When they get that, feature set is complete and only thing they need to do is iterate and improve on the comfort (massively) and quality of optics.

Aaron Swartz did nothing resembling what Gottesfeld did; the comparison is outrageously unfair to him.
Distilled down to a pithy saying, I think a good moral foundation is something like:

One may never morally commit an evil act for any reason, even if that act will prevent an even greater evil from being perpetrated.

That "will" is tricky, because often you don't actually know what the outcome will be, but I think it applies even if you do know with certainty.

Forgive my following ramble:

This is hardly a new thought - it's one shared by a number of religious belief systems (Catholicism comes to mind, CCC 1753 explicitly says this in about as many words), but there's a lot of wisdom to be had with this even if you completely write off the religious angle.

It completely removes this possibility. The avenue is forever closed; if you reject evil acts, no ifs-ands-or-buts, no ends justifying the means, this is simply never a thing you'll accept or allow yourself to be involved with.

It's simpler as far as moral thinking goes, it removes a lot of judgment, which is usually a red flag for lazy reductionism, but given the sheer quantity of evil in the would of the banal sort, exactly as you described, I'd wager that the world would be a better place overall if this principle were followed by good-faith actors.

I hate to be a downer, but there are good reasons[0] to avoid getting your starting ideas from the Crash Course series of videos. I think a better approach would be either to (1) start actually reading Descartes or Plato, or (2) use the Crash Course video titles as to what you should be looking up on SEP. Similarly, a lot of introductory text on many important philosophers is off the mark; Peter Singer's Marx in the "Short Introduction to" series is known to be pretty poor, for example.

Please try and rely on expert resources, and not just people who are experts in some other area, or even sometimes in another area of philosophy. Experts on philosophy are just as capable as anyone else skilled in an area to explain ideas without too much jargon (or if there is, explanations of it!)

Some philosophers you can start reading primary material. For others it's more difficult. University textbooks should also be worth considering, at least. But the Crash Course videos may be the wrong approach. If you're looking for videos, I'd recommend Wireless Philosophy pretty much always.

> Yes. Google Maps has pretty good coverage of popular trails and topography and can be used if you have signal.

Ah, I was thinking back country - everywhere I've gone there's no signal, and if I'm front country, you can always just use the obvious trail markers.

Your use case for direction finding isn't relevant to an urban user. If you are familiar with the area, chances are you don't need a topo map, and you don't need to orienteer your way either - you'll understand the street numbers and landmarks. I'm also confused as to how using google maps affects your ability to become familiar with an area - I've found that by the 3rd time I've gone somewhere I no longer need maps at all, but I was using it up until then.
Today I'm working on a project in which I was brought in late to rescue it, where they're extracting data from BIM software (which fits the definition of a no-code database-backed GUI app) using (low-code) MS Access and pushing it into (low-code) QuickBase, and all 3 pieces were set up by people who (yay) didn't need to understand code but (boo) really could've used a few lessons in best practices.

So I agree with your rant, though in principle and in my most idealistic moments I'm still interested to see where the whole low-code "movement" goes.
Huh. I'm not sure what should be the baseline of "okay" now anymore, but I wonder if this isn't worse than leaving things be. Leakage is out there anyway, and it seems likely now that it is buggy enough for malevolent actor to find a way to spy on his neighbour. But what about those who is away from home now and really needs the footage for some reason? I guess lack of this footage would be a bigger security issue for them than the chance a couple of frames will leak to somebody else.
Have you watched Ghengis Blues? That's actually the very first place I ever heard of Tuvan throat singing, which has a lot of polyphonic overtones going on.

> If it's useful for you to be around and they find you useful to be around then you have a job.

I do this as well, although I tend to put in in starker terms: the only reason that anyone is giving you a paycheck is because they are getting value in excess of the amount they're paying you. Your job will vanish the instant that value proposition changes. This means two important things:

1) There's no such thing as actual job security. Always have an escape plan.

2) Whatever amount of job security you can wrangle comes only when you consistently appear to be providing value in excess of your compensation.

Also, although I don't usually say this in relation to holding down a specific job, I try to make newcomers understand that nobody will care about what you did 20 years ago. It's what you did yesterday that matters.

What you say about HR is spot on as well. It seems obvious to me, but I'm frequently surprised that it's not obvious to everybody.
Don't base your investments on wishful thinking.
In this case that may not have been useful, assuming law enforcement knows about the cord. Law enforcement will plug in a mouse jiggler (simulated moving USB mouse), having the script detect rogue USB devices and shutting down at that moment would add another layer of protection. I saw that solution a few years back... Maybe this works doubly well for devices with USB and USB-c power connections now... Since law enforcement try to keep power running on machines seized in this way.
Oh, for sure there are things to be learned from this. The responsibility for yield doesn't lie with TSMC though, but with the logic design: to make this kind of integration work, your design has to be able to tolerate a fault essentially anywhere on the wafer surface.

This isn't magic, of course: keep in mind that we already have SRAM with extra capacity for fault tolerance, and multi-core chips which are binned based on the number of functioning cores has been standard for a long time.
Downtown Lisbon has all of those things as well, including lots of streetside parking space. Presumably they make it work because large above-ground dumpsters are unsightly, impede pedestrian traffic, and hinder visibility.

That isn't really true beyond the margins. Polls show that a large majority of Australians have accepted the science on climate collapse for two decades.

Australians know what's happening, but they believe their wealth can insulate them personally from the consequences while they watch dusky foreigners die. The last federal election contained an implied declaration of environmental war on the Pacific island nations, with the tradeoffs very clearly spelled out in the campaign.

Australia is a rogue nation of self-comforting nihilists, for whom Scott Morrison is a very natural leader.
oso | Software Engineer | New York City (NYC) - Onsite | https://www.osohq.com/

oso (backed by Sequoia) makes backend infrastructure security not terrible for developers and ops. We provide a normalized and consistent interface to core security controls, like who can access what, and we do so in a way that’s invisible to developers and simple for ops. We are hiring small number of sharp engineers who want to get involved on the ground floor and who have some combination of experience in and appetite for taking on these kinds of problems:

1. Building an elegant experience for a highly technical end-user, e.g., making it easy and intuitive for an ops engineer to get up and running in <5 mins

2. Low-level distributed systems, e.g., building lightweight proxies that manage requests asynchronously and deal with things like caching and network failures

3.Running an on-path production service, e.g., building a scalable and resilient service layer across multiple regions and cloud providers

We are building the product in Rust, which we think is both a good design choice for our use case and a fun choice for the team. By virtue of our stage, the engineers who join now will not only have a disproportionately large impact on the product, but also on the culture and future of the company. Given the importance of these team members and magnitude of their contribution, they will get a meaningful equity position.

Genuinely curious - what would you need moment by moment readings for? My experience with back country camping is the Rockies, so I've never been at any sort of altitude danger zone, and it's usually pretty binary - you're either on top of the mountain or still not. For something like a GPS watch I'd just want to look back on it later to be able to review my route, but I can't see myself taking barometric measurements for accuracy.

Comparing is fine, equating is not. This is a clear example of the former.
What I genuinely don't understand is why do you even need them. Do they somehow deter burglars? Unlikely, unless there is hard data showing that they do. Did the US somehow degenerate into a war zone lately, because everyone managed (and still manages outside the US!) to survive without those, but Americans suddenly need those cameras? Besides, what would you even do if a. you're away from your home b. a camera detects something c. you're near your phone at the moment (which isn't given at all, you're pretty likely to be asleep or busy)? Call the cops from the other side of the world and hope they come in time? Activate claymores or giant battle robots?

How come Amazon and others apparently convinced millions of middle class Americans in the space of just a few years that they absolutely require 24/7 surveillance in and around their houses? Are you that scared of your compatriots?

This is basically why the first iteration of the United States fell apart: the Articles of Confederation basically made taxes voluntary, and they only had to convince 13 states to pay them! Spoiler alert, they couldn't do it, and the first US government collapsed.
