May I ask why is 1080 sad? I have been on 1366x768 during the early 2010s. But switch to 1080 over the last couple of years. While my personal desktop is on 1440p, 1080 is still very much a 'good enough' resolution for corporate work and day-to-day browsing usage. I see this trend to stick around for the next 5 years at least because most consumers don't really see non-marginal benefit in moving to 1440p.
Wow, that's awesome I was literally just looking for something exactly like this.
I wouldn't put coconut oil in the same category as the rest of those, but I agree with your point. These new meat alternatives are probably not that healthy overall right now compared to the absolute healthiest hamburger patty. But more often this would replace a McDonald's level beef patty, so the standard for "not worse for you than what it's replacing" is easy to meet.
Whow whoa, hold on. Since when is Tinder a "blind date"? If anything, it's the exact opposite of a blind date.
The two are not unrelated. If a protocol change creates a forked chain then acceptance of that protocol change is determined by mining the forked chain.

> the company said that they have rearchitected a good portion of the power delivery in the APU in order to be able to power down and power gate more elements of the SoC than was previously possible

Appears they did reduce the power usage, remains to be seen how much in reality.
I thought it was standard policy in any corporate IT security department these days to warn people not to plug in any personal device whatsoever with a usb plug, even, say, a fan or coffee warmer. Is it really possible for a usb device to be too small to contain a virus?
I have the reverse problem. I want a laptop with a 1TB SSD, but those seem to appear only in configurations with other premium options, such as 4K displays. My 55 year old eyes can't see 4K resolution, so I'd prefer to save the money, power, and time not painting them. 1920x1080 works for me.
while I agree with you, your description of refactoring scares me. It makes me imagine an over-engineered hot mess. I had a conversation with a junior engineer just today about valuing simplicity and avoiding abstractions until you're sure you really need them.

because cleanliness isn't really the goal, the goal is meeting business needs, stability, and discoverability. Often times abstractions create complexity, and that complexity hurts discoverability, it potentially hurts stability, and it can often times be detrimental if business needs change.

So I say abstract when it's clear that you need to, not before.

That's not to say I disagree with the sentiment to get the code working and then go back over it with an eye for cleaning it up, I just dislike the sentiment that this cleanup should be for abstracting things.

Yes, the Earth has changed significantly over millions of years or even millennia. The point that our climate is changing is not new, it's how fast it's changing that's the problem.

Animals and ecosystems are great at adapting on those long time scales, but not so much within only a few generations or a hundred years.

So yes, if you point out that there have been floods, droughts and fires in Australia forever, we agree. If you think Australia's climate is going to change over the next 200 years as slowly as it did the previous 200 years if we continue to emit current levels of greenhouses gasses we disagree there.

Maybe the more appropriate term is "accelerated climate change" since as you point out the Earth does transform naturally over extremely long periods of time.
Yes:

Try a turkey burgers, a chicken burger, a black bean burger, ect... There's so much better variety in veggie burgers, (and they don't cause the run to the bathroom, if you know what I mean.)

And, if you ever find yourself in India, try McDonald's vegetarian burgers. Nothing like beef, but still delicious.

Think of a "burger" as a style of sandwich. Some of us are so used to "hamburger" that it's hard to imagine the patty being anything else.

Honestly, it's worth trying a veggie burger. (A lot of people order them with bacon on top.) As long as you stay away from the "I can't believe it's not meat" style, they're delicious.
The Luminiferous Aether was popular too.
I believe my meat-eating friends who say they can tell the difference, but as someone who didn't really eat burgers that often even before I became vegetarian, I can't. It tastes the way I remember meat tasting (though obviously I haven't done recent comparisons).

I've joked before that if I ordered an Impossible Burger and got served a regular one, I wouldn't know :)

It does feel kind of weird eating it. There's definitely a part of my brain that protests when I take a bite. But it's also kind of novel, and I do still occasionally miss meat -- there's also a part of my brain that feels really good while I'm eating it. I like what they're doing, and I'm happy to occasionally grab one when I see it offered.

The thing is, vegetarian food is already really good -- I don't feel like I have a problem finding tasty, nutritious non-meat dishes that are filling, satisfying meals. And that's getting progressively better, not because new foods are being invented, but just because restaurants are getting better at adding vegetarian dishes that aren't just token options. I don't think there's a need for a brand new breakthrough in that area. There is no need to swoop in and invent a compelling dish for vegetarians, we have plenty of them.

It's the space in-between vegetarian and carnivore that needs innovation.

There are vegetarian meat-substitutes that I already avoid because my aversion to feeling like I'm eating that specific meat outweighs the novelty, even though they're not that convincing. I still think it's fine to have these kind of weird "in-between" foods -- my "I don't want to be reminded of that" is someone else's "this is close enough that I could give up or cut back on the real thing." I first started down a vegetarian route once I found a taco-meat substitute that I liked; I might not have even made that initial decision to start cutting back on meat if that product hadn't existed.

>"Let's say you buy houses for cash and I put up a sign with your number on it. The police call you and find out that you do, indeed, buy houses for cash."

Suppose I were operating such a business with legal advertisements only and the detective asked me "Hey I saw a sign on a telephone pole saying you buy houses for cash, is that right?" why would I answer in the affirmative?

> "No, it's weird that you saw that. I don't post signs on any telephone poles, this is a highly reputable business.

They'd only say that if they're smart. Many of them probably aren't, and their guard will be down if the detective can do a passable "desperate alcoholic" impression over the phone. But regardless, I agree that false negatives are more likely than false positives.
This doesn't invalidate your point, but the watt comparison you're making isn't correct. 100W is the power of the electricity input to the lightbulb, while the laser wattage is the power of the light output. The actual comparison would be more like 10W to 50 mW (which of course still means that the concentration of energy is required to explain the difference in eye danger).
Very interesting talk! Thanks for the reference.

More food for thought:

The style in your example is more consistent with the way nearly every programmer formats code that has more than one statement. For example:

if( shouldDoThings ) {
doOneThing();
doAnotherThing();
doLastThing();
}

Why do we want to format statements that way, but function calls and expressions a different way? No one would write this:

if (shouldDoThings) {doOneThing();
doAnotherThing();
doLastThing();}

I have a theory about that but will have to save it for another day.

Somewhat related, the Rust coding style guidelines used to follow a heavily column-aligned style, but changed to indentation-only a year or two ago. I posted an example from the Servo source code with the old and new formats here:

what? that's a wild strawman, but I think it's instructive -- I think this is actually a blind spot for a lot of techies. Point blank: I don't care if their business model is viable or not, I care about the service they provide to society. the service they provide (video hosting for free for anyone) is incredibly valuable, almost incalculably so for the amount of creation that it has inspired. the fact that kids can see it is just a side effect of the core value, and so they should provide tools for users to help them protect their children from content they don't want to see. But does that mean that they need to hire an ARMY of humans to do that? No, in fact even if they could afford it, that would be terrible!

I had one of those I bought in 2017 for $200. Used it to play with distros and do lab work. It was definitely worth it. It even had another ram slot to stick another piece of RAM to make it 8G.

By that logic, no country's emissions matter, even China.

Meanwhile, if you want to convince other countries to reduce their emissions, it's much easier when you're part of the solution.
I looked into content rating systems one time. Specifically PICS[1] As it gained some attention in some big media outlets where authoritative sounding journalists full on attacked it. Some attempted to portray it as a filter. At first I didn't understand why the persistent negativity but eventually I got it when one of them wrote how he acquired his skills though years of article writing and that the public scrutiny was an insult to his profession.

I then began to notice this pattern in other people. If you give them efficient software they wont be able to bullshit their way out of any argument. Productivity is the enemy. Everything possible must be done to prevent the people above from figuring out what is really going on.

One very simple example I ran into recently. A new and improved app was made but it had exactly the same flaws as the previous one. An amount of time is assigned to tasks but if you add up the tasks for a day they greatly exceed the real world number of minutes worked. Then when complaints come in they simply assign extra minutes to the task pushing the total amount of work further over 8 hours. The number of characters for feedback was also reduced. When I jokingly asked about it (knowing how their game works) they pretended it was to hard to divide the work over the day. You cant just say a 70 min task must be done in 50! All hell would break loose! It is then left up to the assignee to figure out how to cut the corners. The managers carefully monitor the feedback, if anyone finds out corners are cut the employee is called in to explain for it. Eventually the smart ones figure out how to cut corners without anyone noticing it.

The entire show depends on the clients inability to add up all the minutes.

Sounds like Beyond burger and not impossible.

The beyond burger tastes like paint and actually gets more red when you cook it. The impossible burger is red when raw, but turns brown and firm like beef when cooked.

Follow the money. The other way of finding candidates — paying professional sourcers who do it for a living — costs an enormous amount of money, often 25% of the first year salary.

Paying your employees $5k or even $25k (in sfba) is a lot cheaper.
you are conflating a lot of things here.

0. online dating isn't blind dating. physical attraction (important in most romantic relationships) is readily apparent generally.

1. AFAICT (non expert) blind date "success rate" varies immensely depending on whose PoV you assume. even those who get lots of matches may want long term, but only find short term options (or vice versa)

2. you probably don't want to start pulling people out of a hat to do dental procedures. credentialing is important to many people for certain professions. these things take years and years of training and skill building. most romantic things don't take the same sort of specialized training.

Yup, that's a much better way. Give the data, the system will render it the way needed.

Even is darkmode, the issue is some rogue sites that manage to escape the browser extension to force darkmode on all sites and comes out all bright. That sudden flash of light just renders me blind.
Everyone always says this, but the fact remains that it is a filter in the sense that not everyone can learn it, or retain it. People always complain that the techniques requested in an interview are not required for the job. I see it in a different sense. The jobs they ultimately qualify for do not require such skills.
Because processed food is bad for you, and "I can't believe it's not meat" is some of the most processed food on the market.
Impossible Burger doesn't have any dyes. The redness is from the soy leghemoglobin, which also gives it the meaty taste.

Most regulations aren't price controls, but the historical regulations being discussed here are. In the US, routes and prices used to be decided by the Civil Aeronautics Board, removing price competition between airlines. After the price controls were dropped, air travel became a lot more affordable and profit margins got smaller. "Airline deregulation," in a US context, refers to this.

(The terminology is a bit unfortunate, but we're stuck with it for now.)
Hmm, based on some of the other comments it is possible I've only tried Beyond Meat and not the Impossible Burger - I'll have to seek it out and see.
Does anyone have articles or advice/experience to share on improving a company's interviewing process / culture? I work at a medium/large enterprise software company in SFBA that's well compensated (not quite FAANG level) and sometimes a final round interview will have 5 algorithm style whiteboarding questions which feels excessive and lazy.

I'm interested in:

a) standardization. Right now interviewers pick their individual questions and sometimes the question types. You can't apply a wildly inconsistent measure across anything and expect to have confidence in your findings.

b) interview question diversity. If people have varying strengths and our day to day work goes beyond just solving algorithm style questions (because it does for a huge majority of dev jobs) then a more diverse body of questions seems to be a better yardstick to measure others by. Examples of questions types that seem interesting to add include refactoring existing code, pair programming, small coding project and even weird things I haven't heard of before like the ability to give constructive feedback on design proposals, etc..

> I wonder how well documented (and trained) this scenario is (and suspect that pilots are a lot more aware of it).

One Airbus plane was lost because of that. I believe it was icing caused by maintenance staff cleaning the exterior and getting water on the various static ports, which then iced over.

I think 5 people died.
Same. I didn't get what was better about a distributed system for small projects, until it fully clicked with me that my copy was just as "official" as any other sitting around, and that any "server" was a copy that we collectively decided was going to be the one of record. I can't imagine any plausible scenario in which I'd go back to having a central SVN-style server.

And natural here does not mean not artificial. Natural food is the food we've been designed to eat.

As a vegetarian or vegan, even if you don't like the taste or it's too meaty for you. I would imagine, you would want to promote the hell out of it.

The point being, the more people you get to skip a meat meal by eating a veggie alternative, the better it is for whatever your reasons for avoiding meat are.
Humans are complicated creatures, and just replicating the macronutrients (and even micronutrients) into an ingestible substance is not a replacement for real food.
The way they're cooked matters a lot, at least for the Impossible Burger.

A well prepared veggie burger is a very different experience from one that's just been thrown on a grill and taken off when it's hot. I've noticed some huge gaps in quality at different restaurants.

Also will add my vote that Impossible is doing a way better job imitating meat than Beyond is, just in general.

Let's do an extreme take,
giving apple is not comparable as it is [1][2] already 'murdered' compared to a bunny. A better comparison would be prepared bunny meat and sliced apple.

Just meant to illustrate that when we think of suffering, it needs to be visible for us to do something about it and see it as a problem. Buying meat from a grocery store doesn't help your perception, so I wouldn't blame people for not caring as much.

I think it is hypocritical to neglect plants that can show stress and feel that they are being literally eaten alive and advocate for less suffering by asking people to eat them instead of meat but that's not pragmatic.
I don't think their win condition is hard to grasp: price.

With further innovations and economic of scale, you'd imagine that one day they'll substantially undercut the [heavily subsidized] meat industry.

Not an economist (and I doubt even they'd know), but I feel like at x% the price of meat, they'll capture y% of the market. And, it'll snowball, as the meat industry loses market share, prices will go up.
> May I ask why is 1080 sad?

A serious laptop these days might have 1800 rows or so. 1080 is pretty miserable. Pixels are going to be large and blocky and text (which is what most corporate work and day to day browsing is) is going to be blurry and poorly defined.

>This is false; the road cameras don't actually improve the road safety — they highly increase rear-end collisions.

Driving dangerously and then slamming on the brakes to avoid getting caught by the camera increases rear-end collisions. If you drive sensibly to begin with it isn't an issue. If you are driving sensibly then it's the other drivers fault for not allowing enough stopping distance. In neither case are the cameras at fault.

I am so sick of this pity seeking everyone's-at-fault-but-me attitude. If you are driving the vehicle then you are solely responsible for obeying the road rules.

Dating is roughly symmetric, but employment is not. Jobs are not just an employer picking an employee, but also an employee picking an employer. The current process saves time for one side, but wastes it for the other.

One of my dream side projects which never came to life is a job board where employers post (only) photos of what your workspace would look like. It's almost impossible to find out what I'm going to be looking at 8+ hours a day, even though that's one of the most important aspects of a job to me.
