And I think you're being ridiculously pedantic if you think that a list of caveats and asterisks in the fine print means that average Joe B. Motorist doesn't view the Autopilot/Summon/etc features as some degree of "self driving".
Completely agree.

> Which in case of Git is that it's a DAG

And one step beyond that, that it's a Merkel tree. It's key to understanding stuff like "if I change a commit, it changes all commit after that" or "if I move (cherry pick, rebase) this commit, I'm creating a new one, not really moving".

> Subversion-to-git conversion of the Gnu Compiler Collection history, at over 280K commits (over 1.6M individual change actions), was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Using PyPy with every optimization on semi-custom hardware tuned for this job still yielded test conversion times of over 9 hours, which is death on the recipe-debugging cycle.

Just how often does one need to convert the Gnu Compiler Collection from Subversion to Git in under 9 hours?

They do.

Autopilot is standard in every single car Tesla sells now, for exactly this reason.

> Especially when your DNS registrar does not support DNS changes via API.

You can point the _acme-challenge record to another domain using a CNAME:

* https://dan.langille.org/2019/02/01/acme-domain-alias-mode/

* https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/wiki/DNS-alias-mo...

* https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/02/technical-deep-dive-se...

So if you have example.com at a place which does not have an API, you can point _acme-challenge.example.com via CNAME to _acme-challenge.example.org, which you may have at a place that does.

Or you can point it to a sub-domain, so _acme-challenge.example.com points to _acme-challenge.dnsauth.example.com, and then you have dnsauth.example.com live on a DNS server in your DMZ.

This can be used for internal hosts as well (if you have split-horizon DNS). So if you have websrv1.int.example.com, you can put put _acme-challenge.websrv1.int.example.com as a CNAME that points to _acme-challenge.websrv1.dnsauth.example.com, and dnsauth.example.com live in your DMZ. You do not have to have an A(AAA) record for websrv1 in your external DNS. You'd have to write some glue so that your LE client talks to dnsauth.example.com to add/remove the dns-01 verification records.

Individual engineers don't and never did; managers/planners do (at least the more competent ones) and always did. There's a difference between running a bunch of primadonnas and running an engineering organization that gets things done on a schedule & budget consistently. It generally doesn't involve just winging it with some full stack ninjas and hoping for the best and tends to involve lots of planning, KPIs, metrics, resource planning, etc.

I made a website where you can measure these things in both time and instructions. It's not perfect because it's a VM, but at least you can see for yourself the horror show that is the first exception thrown. And also the bloat that exceptions add. I still use exceptions simply because they are part of the language, although sparingly. But I have a gut feeling that the implementation of C++ exceptions in the current compilers, and the ABI, is just subpar. It has to be, because nothing that isn't a context switch should be measured in hundreds of thousands of instructions.

See: https://droplet.fwsnet.net

Just experiment with adding and removing exceptions, and compare it. It's shocking.

I've never found a way to make sure every day is guaranteed to be productive, I have stretches of being non-productive. It's ok, within reason. The most important thing, to me, is to reboot sooner rather than later. If you let it become later, you can lose a lot of time and not notice initially (the days will seem to slide by rapidly in hindsight). I treat it mentally like a small vacation, then tell myself to get back to proper work mode.

To do that, I pick small, easy wins, then roll from there until I'm back into a good day to day work routine of productivity. I've found making sure I do something early in the morning as part of being productive, makes a big difference in breaking slack patterns. Not letting the morning get away without doing something meaningful toward whatever I'm working on. I'm strongly a night person and I still find that to be critical. In my observation of low-productivity periods of time throughout my life, my mornings were always mediocre for productivity. As I've gotten older (closing in on 40 now), the value of being productive early in the day has gone up considerably (it's an energy conservation and utilization thing).

- Tesla makes a product and calls it Autopilot

- Autopilot has an option for "full self driving capabilities" (with lots of promises for the future and an unclear description what it actually can do right now)

- People buy a Tesla and indeed seem to have a self-driving car if they sleep at the wheel

- Tesla doesn’t attempt to make it right that this shouldn’t be done as far as I can tell

- Some people believe that Teslas drive themselves mostly.

Is Tesla directly responsible for these videos? Not directly, but at least they benefit from a highly suggestive product.

Could they do more to reduce the suggestive marketing? Absolutely. Do they want to? Probably not. Should they? I don’t know. That is what we’re discussing here.

I have a bit of a background with medical devices. For these, you have to make it absolutely clear what the device is for and what not. You also have to have a post market surveillance system that monitors how people use or abuse your medical device. From that perspective, Tesla could be doing more to have their driving assistant be perceived in a more realistic way.

I'm not certain self-driving cars are going to save them. Right now, what they pay their driver's is the all-in cost for their fleet. When they switch to fleet Management, they are going to be paying capital costs and maintenance instead. I don't think the latter costs are much lower, if at all, than what they pay drivers now.
Is that really true?

Yep. The list is here - https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/gpu/+/master/... It includes things like Intel HD 3000, which is the GPU in all 2011 models of the Macbook Air. It's quite annoying but maybe better than having browsers crash horribly when the graphics driver throws.

The two are not related in terms of people working in the fields. I have never heard anyone from my category theory circles mention the Langlands program and saw it for the first time on Wikipedia.

However, skimming the Wikipedia page, I can see a few interesting things, e.g. Galois groups and a notion of functoriality [1] that are analogous to concepts in category theory. It doesn't look like the Langlands program has been "Categorified" a la Grothendieck yet.

When you have a system that is at big scale, even a 2x speedup can relieve a huge amount of problems.

I think that Go, which is very inexpressive for modern languages, only expanded the code size that much, should make people consider whether we should ever be using interpreted, dynamic typed languages. Perhaps various JITted/compiled and statically typed languages can offer the same productivity on medium to large sized projects while just being a lot faster on top of it.

But the UK doesn't necessarily have what those countries do.

The UK by contrast has many disparate single-purpose databases which do not form a coherent whole.

Seems like this is primarily reducing the friction of entering a new channel and talking. And you get visibility into who's in there. In Slack you'd have to either start a new call or join one.

On a related note, does anyone wish they could just follow along with a text-to-speech version of a Slack conversation? Especially given you can model someone's voice with a 15-second clip [0] - I wonder if it would be less distracting to just hear messages play with unique voices that match your coworkers instead of alt-tabbing or seeing notifications on my screen pop up while doing semi-focused work.

It's surprising how few managers value objective estimation. But the problem I suppose, is what it does to the working relationship the rest of the company has with their software development team.

Basically, to allow a team of developers such an 'indulgence', every worker in a given business, including senior managers, have to accept that all interactions with the development team, are led by the development team.

That takes a lot of trust, and you'll rarely find that level of trust outside of a startup.

I can attest to the efficacy of scheduling life things with respect to mitigating the ambient cognitive load of life. Otherwise, you can fall prey to what feels like boredom, or the next best thing, which is cleaning the house/doing chores as a form of procrastination.

Beware: getting things out of the way first is a common mindset leading to never achieving long-term goals. There are always important tasks in life that aren't the most important at any given moment (and perhaps never are.)

From the sounds of it that also includes a decent amount of greenfield work.

It's like the old mechanic trope. It's not hard to replace a bolt, what's hard is knowing which bolt to replace and where.
That’s fundamentally a lack of respect for the engineering aspect of software systems and a sort of self-loathing embraced by people in the field.

Many software roles require what I would call Home Depot skill levels. People at Home Depot take semi-finished materials in a kit and fix their toilet, without understanding how it works.

Likewise, some journeyman skilled developer and “code” a sign in page with an API without understanding the engineering process around OAuth.

The problem is many business people don’t understand anything beyond the Home Depot kit... they see stuff on the shelf and don’t understand that at some level that engineering side of the work needs to be done to create something novel. Reinforcing that notion are vendors hawking products.

But you are correct, we should probably rephrase the sentence to make it clear that the presence proofs are probabilistic and can be false positives, thank you for your feedback. We wrongfully assumed that this would be clear after explaining the probabilistic nature of bloom filters.

Bruce chaired my PhD committee- he was a gentle and thoughtful person.

An observation about his approach to science, which I thought was distinctive: he was interested in a big, fuzzy relationship- health and stress. Over the course of his career, his lab wrote hundreds of small, credible papers to fill out and explore this relationship. Few were in the big journals, but over time, a sort of broadly understood relationship emerged and many other labs also participated in developing this concept. Now it’s just sort of something we understand- it’s a robust concept.

His approach always struck as significantly different from the one or two big nature/science papers that claims to discover or demonstrate a fundamental relationship. These tour de force papers can be vital, and they can also mislead an entire field.

I appreciated Bruce’s approach, especially because the incentive structure that permeated my graduate experience was “go big or go home”. There are entire classes of Scientific insight that won’t be revealed if this is this approach dominates.
