> without giving them founder equity

To me, it's not a question of monetary reward so much as agency. If you want me to care about something deeply, then I need to have say in how it works. I'm not going to be blindly devoted to a plan that could change at any moment for any reason.

Of course, compensation/equity matters as well, but as a programmer I tend to get heavily attached to work that matters. Nothing is more demotivating then feeling like I'm giving up free time and working long hours to build something that doesn't matter or that is poorly managed. And at a certain point, if I'm devoting that kind of energy into something, I'm going to start having opinions about it.

With many VC funded startups, workers often get sold on a vision, and then in 4-5 years they get sold to Google and everything they build dies. Workers know that their work isn't going to matter in the long run, and that the vision they're being sold could change at any moment (and in fact is highly likely to change once VCs start putting on more pressure for rapid growth). It's hard to invest emotional energy into something that fragile.

Founders have a vested interest in making sure that their baby stays under their control. But if you want me to work like a founder, treat me like a founder. And while equity is a part of that, the biggest thing is that I want a say in how that vision evolves.

The way I work on personal projects and the way I work as an employee are different. It's not the money that makes them different, it's the sense of ownership and agency. As an employee I work from a contractual "what are my obligations" perspective, because I recognize that it's not my vision, it's never going to be my vision, and that it would be problematic and against the company's interests for me to try and make it into my vision.

This is part of why I am very cautiously optimistic about the rise in popularity of worker collectives. I dislike founders who want the employee enthusiasm that comes with ownership and purpose, but none of the employee opinions and agency that are part of that.
No one's asking you to get rid of C; Arthur (the guy who wrote this article) actually wrote his own C compiler a few years ago!

Ever-elegant, it does away with precedence, which makes for much prettier code.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't the speed depends on the compiler, the operating system, the hardware...

There is no particular reason you can't allocate 500GB in 1 cycle. Just get rid of all memory management.

It seems silly to answer a question about C++ in operations per second, besides.

Yes that does sound nice and I agree that the first option would feel better. However if someone offered me the choice between being able to do the first, and say, a new Macbook Pro 16", I would take the computer every time. I think even if I were a billionaire I would rather keep my few thousand dollars and suffer the indiginities of economy, but of course I'm not, nor can I know how my values would change if I were a billionaire.

The doomers will get all the attention though. It’ll skew because the media makes money on gloom and doom, not the truth.
> interpreted languages falling out of vogue

This would be for performance issue though. And K, even when interpreted, is still faster than most people's C code because the interpreter does very little and most of the time is spent in optimized loops.

Also, I heard rumors of a JIT (I've seen some of his compilation code and it is pretty amazing and small and even include SSE/AVX optimizations).
Coding is NOT a real-time procedural performance activity, and thus can not be compared to aviation or surgery. Code reviews, collaboration on architectural decisions, and QA catch mistakes as early as necessary.
It's as easy as working on solutions to the climate crisis and removing it as a factor of concern then.

Yes there may be other causes to environmental issues and it would be wise of us to begin to reduce Co2 in the atmosphere so it no longer needs to be a factor in these kind of discussions.
Hi, welcome! Snacks are on the right, bathroom is on the left.
Would be cool if instead of me thinking about offsetting my emissions for the flight tickets I buy... The government would implement a tax that just does that.

Taxes to stop behavior are bunk in this context. There's a lot of consumption that's necessary for many in some amount and luxury for other who afford a vast amount. Taxes cut into some people's basic survival and economic activity while not stopping over people's consumption.

What is necessary is the state to dictate to various industries and companies that they must stop CO2 production - by changing their products and production methods.

The simplest thing is that US is to mandate a lot more travel by bus. No one likes that but hey, no like a burning planet.
As an MD, I can tell you that your view is extremely skewed. There absolutely is an annoying hierarchy. Endless departmental rules that get in the way of your practice, constant messages from the billing department asking you to edit old notes so the hospital can bill for more, fighting with insurance companies, fighting with pharmacies, fighting with patients...it doesn't really end.

For your friends in derm, I would ask them how hard they had to work to earn their careers. Dermatology is consistently one of the few hardest subspecialties within medicine to get into. You may be able to work 4 days/week later on in your career, but you'll be working non-stop through medical school pumping out research papers and studying for top board scores just to get in to derm. These days, a huge percentage of medical students end up taking an extra year just to get more research out before applying to derm.
> it will take rhetoric to solve the climate change problem.

Can’t that backfire? Shouldn’t the cause be built on truth and science not narrative ends over means?

> Weak and strong systems aren’t honestly very well defined

I see, but at least the literature I read on typing actually mentioned them. Nothing I read in college regarding type systems ever included the words "sound" or "unsound".

> some type and modify it so that it appears to reduce to any other type at whim.

I saw instances of this as examples of "weak" typing.

Do you happen to have papers or books you could recommend so that I can learn more on type system soundness? This is a subject that I find really interesting.
It's not `operator()`, it's value initialization. If you're particularly masochistic you can read more about it at https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/value_initializat....
That is how I read it. And that is what I do, unless I want to sleep.

In that scenario, I put the bag on the tray, bear hug it, and drop right off. Leaning forward into the bag works for me.

(Yes, I have a huggable bag, and I have one of those thin blankets I mooched from Delta years ago.)
If you wish to deliberately play silly semantic games to obsfuscate the obvious and intended meaning there is no prospect of meaningful exchange of ideas. This conversation is well beyond sense in that if you have a point I have no idea at all what it could be regarding whether or not facebrick et al are criminal enterprises or you should not trust at all those who claim, anonymously, without any evidence at all one way or another. But especially when those claims are that facebrick aren't misbehaving terribly. Especially based on hard won experience and the mess we are now in. Espeically because we know they are desperate not to be seen that way and spend money to that effect.

But yeah, maybe it doesn't involve trust at the level of whether the letter s is actually q. Sure.
I personally have some reactions to her statement, but I never met any of them, so all I can do is to imagine. To me, this seems like a demonstration of honesty and sincerity.

> ..that his interpretation should be encoded into law.

Law is dangerous, as it ultimately falls back into the (justification of the) usage of lethal force upon those who defy it.

So I imagine that directicy and strictness was related to him, and so, then, I imagine that it is respectful to respond in a direct and strict way, which I suppose is what she did.

Planes and drones are getting pretty good at autonomous flight. You might not need pilots by the time this tech is mature.
> This is a fallacy. "It's cold where I am" is not disproof of climate change.

Agreed! It’s just unfortunate people just as often use “it’s hot where I am” to prove climate change. But they get a pass because they’re on the correct side.
This. I fly Southwest whenever possible; the loading process appears to be more efficient and is certainly less chaotic than other airlines. The flight attendants are consistently the friendliest I've encountered, too.
The delay on population decisions is huge. We need action before the impact of any population decrease is felt. In any case, the population of the Western World is stable or decreasing and the places where population is increasing couldn't care less about personal responsibility for decreasing climate change.

It might do, you are often not allowed to wait around as you walk from the plane to the terminal building and to passport control. You may be in different places in the queue. Now say one of you goes through to the first place you can wait, perhaps after passport control and before baggage collection. The other person doesn't turn up. You don't know why? Wait another 10 minute? Did they go through baggage area? Passport issues? Where do you meet now? You can't help them. Granted mobile phones, but not being split up is easier.

Now friends sometimes end up in different seats, and you can probably get away with waiting somewhere, maybe on the plane itself to meet up, but if everyone is in the same boat it might be chaos to do that, and there is more incentive for airport staff to stop you.

"PHP is rarely considered "old school." It's considered bad"

PHP hasn't been considered 'bad' for a few years now. It has been battle tested on many large-scale websites.

Now, One of the main issues is that anyone can write a few lines of code and call themselves a developer, so you have horrible code bases still out there...but this has more to do with the developer than the language.

I love hearing answers like this. This is why I'm still paid so well to write PHP code after 15 years in the industry.

All your NNs are entirely completely utterly pointless when faced with inputs they have never been trained on. They always suck at extrapolating, and almost always suck at interpolating as well. So when an unexpected emergency happens, what exactly are they going to do?

And outside of NNs, The only thing we have are autopilots. They sometimes fail, and that is why real pilots mainly just babysit them as their main job.

The general problem is grouping similar DNA/RNA sequences based on something known as a Unique Molecular Identifier, and then collapsing those groups into consensus sequences. This helps estimate the number of unique sequences while efficiently accounting for errors in sequencing or PCR amplification.

Deplaning always feels slower to me. You usually get an announcement about twenty minutes before touchdown that you're inbound. I notice virtually nobody prepares during or after this announcement. If I took anything out of the overhead, I re-stow it and get the small items I have together. When we land, I turn off airplane mode, put my phone in my pocket, grab my backpack and am ready to go. Others like to eat a snack, make a phone call, examine every possible object in their bag, and do just about everything but exit the plane. Like seriously, do that in the terminal when you're not a blocker on others exiting the aircraft.

As a bigger guy, I scowl at people wanting to remove overhead bins. I'd rather put my bag there and have the space under the seat for my legs. Airlines need to understand the more uncomfortable they make the flights, the more likely I am to take a train.
Real flights have those things in some numbers and a model probably ought to attempt to account for them, since, as you noted in a separate post I can’t seem to find now, they’ll affect the model negatively. The goal isn’t to find the best number of late people and wheelchairs. It’s to be able to board real flights as quickly as possible and every real flight I’ve ever seen, except the flight I took shortly after 9/11, has had some number of strollers, wheelchairs, or what have you.

So now flip it and decide whether you trust positive claims that facebrick are not doing whatever.

That is what we are discussing, here, now.

I don't trust those positive claims that facebook are not misbehaving. If you do, I can't help you.

Is that evidence of their nuclear weapons program? Obviously and clearly not. I have never here put forward evidence of their misbehaving. That continues to come regularly. Whether it is this or somenthing else more will come is a reasonble bet.

Should you trust them or anyone who says without evidence "we are doing nothing wrong" That is being addressed here.

Do you? Really?

So much pushback for taking exception to an anonymous defence with no evidence. Surely taking exception to anonymous claims with no evidence because "trust me" is what every single one of should do. Especially when we've been burned so very, very hard.

Until there are real consequences for telling lies trusting facebook denials is naieve in the extreme.

Take a Deep Breath : Viz of PM2.5 concentration in various cities of the world
> Advertising helps businesses. Businesses serve consumers.

No, businesses serve themselves. Corporations are not your friends. Sometimes their interests align with consumers' but not always.

> Has any advertiser ever claimed to give you the full picture? Both sides of the argument? No, of course not. It's a sales pitch. You know it's a sales pitch. They know you know it's a sales pitch. They know that you know that they're only presenting the positive sales points. You know that they know that you know.

> Where's the dishonesty, exactly?

Your claim is basically that if they don't claim to tell the truth, and everybody knows they're lying, it's no longer lying.

> How freakishly up-front do you need the world to be to live up to your standards?

In type systems there's a tension between expressiveness, soundness, and comprehensibility. A sound type system must exclude all programs that have runtime issues, and, holding that constant, try its best to maximize expressiveness and comprehensibility of the programs that can be written.

But what about programs that can run fine but are excluded by the type system? They are censored. This is what's less visible until you actually try to build something substantial, pushing the boundaries of expression, performance, or scale. Then you'll find that a sound type system can become more and more of a straight-jacket. One that forces you to write code in ways that are limited by what its type designers could envision expressing (or could prove that was safe to express).

The trouble is that it's hard to know when you might reach the point where the type system begins to limit you. It might never happen, as you frolick happily within the walled garden. Or it might happen when you write your first line of code. In a large system that must deal with external requirements, it's something that in my experience becomes inevitable. That's not even touching upon comprehensibility, which becomes an increasing challenge for purely sound type systems as they attempt to increase expressiveness.

The biggest innovation of TypeScript is JavaScript. That is, TypeScript started with a huge established corpus of JavaScript that showed what developers wanted to express and how they wanted to express it. And, crucially, how popular various kinds of expression actually were in the developer community. This forced TypeScript to take practical expressiveness of millions of lines of JS seriously, that ordinarily would have been censored by type system design before the first line of code was written.

That's why it's entirely unfair to harp on TypeScript's unsoundness, without also exploring the corresponding gain in expressiveness and comprehensibility relative to other type systems.

BTW, this line of reasoning is the reason so many "sound" type systems also have their equivalent of "any": Rust has unsafe[1]. C# has unsafe[2]. Flow has any[3]. And all practical languages have strings, which are kind of a lowest common denominator when it comes to dealing with a type system that simply can't express what you need.

I need to think about this for a second.

You’re saying the performance gains stop at two drives in raid striping. RAID10 in two strip two mirror would still bottleneck at 8 total lanes?

I also need to see about the PERC being limited to 8 lanes - no offense - but do you have a source for that?
