I meant rules out for the domain code that you want to be able to run in a single thread, which should be by far most of the code (unless you ensure that whatever your code wants to wait for, has then necessarily already happened, but that seems brittle to me).

Inside of the technical layers you use to run it in multiple threads, there are of course wait/notify mechanisms (or similar).

Maybe you thought about wait implementations that would not wait but that would "help", and go on with other computations while the condition is not yet met? If not then I would like you to expand on what you mean, ideally with a few lines of code as a sample to make it clear.

I agree.

Although for anyone unfamiliar, GAAP isn't and never was perfect. Like any target it is gamed. Hence the origins of the meme "cash flow is a better indicator than net income."

In comparison, startup accounting has engaged in such fuckery that it makes GAAP look wholesome.
I think the recommendations you're getting here to read Buffett's letters, The Intelligent Investor, etc. are good, but if you're completely new to accounting, I think starting with more basic texts would be a better idea.

Two that I liked and still refer to from time to time are How to Read a Financial Report by John A Tracy and Financial Statements: A Step-By-Step Guide to Understanding and Creating Financial Reports by Thomas R Ittelson.
As per sibling comment, they do most definitely work until they don’t. M3 actually started with ElasticSearch and Cassandra for index and storage respectively but then were replaced with M3DB. I mentioned the FOSDEM talk elsewhere in the thread but you might be interested in the evolution segment where it’s mentioned ”With M3DB 7x less servers from Cassandra, while increasing RF=2 to RF=3” and something that’s not on the slides but is in the talk is a reference to an order of magnitude reduction in operational overhead (incidents/oncall debugging). Both slides and video is linked from the FOSDEM talk’s page https://fosdem.org/2020/schedule/event/m3db/.
One of my previous teams paid to have Fogg come in and train us on both his behavior model, and also on how to do feature planning.

The lesson on feature planning was revolutionary for my team. We went from shouting and arguing during planning meetings to everyone walking out happy with all the decisions that were made. He teaches a truly amazing process.

The behavior model itself is super useful for user journeys. My biggest take away is that when someone first downloads an application (or signs up on a website) they do so because they have a problem they want to solve, and at that moment there is a level of motivational energy that they are willing to spend. Be it adding pictures to a dating app or going through an onboarding process. If that first use is too complex, the user's motivation is exhausted and they'll drop out.
I feel like any explanation of Metropolis-Hastings that doesn’t explain detailed balance and why it matters is so oversimplified as to not only be useless in practice but also to be dangerous by giving mathematical lay persons a very false confidence that they understand it or could just take the relatively simple code of the algorithm in the case of a symmetric proposal function and plug it in for a real use case, without understanding autocorrelation, thinning, burn in, convergence, or multi-chain methods (all of which are simply table stakes to actually use MCMC for any real purpose).
I'd rather be treated by a doctor who knows his craft than by a doctor who is an expert in LaTeX and citation tuning.
> "After awhile, nobody wanted to hear about refactoring, they just wanted it to work, and we began the long death march of playing whack-a-mole with technical debt..."

This is exactly why I don't work on web stuff anymore, front- or back-end. Working on products means that, for good or for ill, one _has_ to care about keeping technical debt down to a manageable level or the product collapses.
"Knowing that a colleagues makes more than you should prompt you to ask your boss what it is that you're doing or not doing that keeps you at a lower pay, and your boss should be able to tell you exactly why you're paid less."

This assumes that your boss is rewarded for keeping you happy. In my org, we use a form of stack ranking; so my boss just gives whoever he likes the highest rank. Everyone else gets a COL raise. My boss is rewarded for being a tough negotiator with vendors and staff; that makes his boss happy. And my boss, despite his lack of self-awareness, isn't technical in any way. So he has no ability to either direct my work, or to judge it in a technical manner. This limits his ability to tell me exactly why I'm paid less. He's a typical middle manager who's more of a negotiator than a technical manager. Yet he holds my career in his hands.
So I kind of disagree with the idea that arenas are all about deallocation at once. There's other contexts where you have separate arenas but don't plan on deallocating in blocks, mainly around when you have memory with different underlying semantics. "This block of memory is faster, but not coherent and needs to be manually flushed for DMA", "this block of memory is fastest but just not DMA capable at all", "there's only 2k of this memory, but it's basically cache", "this memory is large, fairly slow, but can do whatever", "this block of memory is non volatile, but memory mapped", etc.

I'd say that arenas are kind of a superset of both what you and I are talking about.
I've read Atomic Habits. Are these habits even smaller?
It's a valid question, but realistically if Costa Rica were invaded a number of countries would step in to help them. I love Costa Rica, it's one of the most beautiful countries I've been to and I do appreciate the political statement their making, but at the same time they're in a pretty unique situation.

As for the ethics of working on weapons, I think there is a lot of grey when it comes to software. It tends to centralize wealth, since once you get it right it works for everyone. It tends to be dual use, because a hardened OS can be used for both banks and tanks. Even developments in AI are worrying because they're so clearly applicable to the military.

Would I work on a nuclear bomb? No. Would I work on software that does a better job of, say, facial recognition to lessen the likelihood of a predator drone killing an innocent civilian? Maybe. It's not an all or nothing thing.
I had the same thought. Especially since the Next.js maintainers said that Discussions would eventually replace their Spectrum community.

Maybe GitHub acquired Spectrum with the intention of slowly migrating its userbase over.
Extrapolating from "women at Google aren't underpaid" to "women aren't underpaid" is a huge leap. Big tech competes heavily for women engineers because they are so scarce, which is not the case in every industry.
this is very helpful.
Thank you stranger
Seems the trouble is that, in addition to their award nominated material, Netflix also produces a lot of low quality content tailored to niche viewer personas. I wonder if they've ever considered whether or not that hurts their brand more than it helps, or if it's helping more than it hurts?
Did anyone else find their "eight failure modes of the apocalypse" incredibly arbitrary given the important sounding name?
Do you know people in a union like SAG or the other entertainment type unions? It seems super not awesome for a lot of people. I know people working their way through the lower tiers. You often get a choice of <work on non-union production for $15 an hour, or work on union production for minimum union pay (which is < $15 an hour), and earn your hours needed to eventually become part of the union>. If you make it all the way through that dance INTO the union, it can help you coast and get a steady paycheck. And yes, it is a fact that lower tiers of people are abused in the US. But I would rather deal with that with universal healthcare, vs promoting unions to argue for better health benefits.

You are technically correct in that unions can be any agreement that the founders. Sure. However I see a union for programmers looking a lot more like a union for autoworkers than a union for actors.

What country has a successful union for computer programmers? Are the top 10% of performers better compensated than the top 10% of developers in the US? As far as I can tell, developers in the US have the best compensation of anywhere on earth. I can't imagine why I would ever want to join a programmer union.
This doesn't line up to me. We they told that by a technical manager, or non-technical manager?

I don't think a technical manager would ever make that statement, and I don't think a non-technical manager would care.
Trezor did it for Crypto (so you could use the wallet in a keylogged environment). The screen (on the device) changes the numbers and you type using the location on an on-screen numpad (on your computer screen).

Edit: Added more context.
Unions do not like members being graded. I do not run a union, so I am not sure why that is. May be worth asking some of them.
Could you elaborate on the pros of F# vs OCaml?
No, as memory is allocated linearly the cpu prefetchers will most likely keep the heap in cache.
yeah. in my day there were sets but after my first (and only) one, i was left disappointed. “you can only build the one thing?” we didn’t have money for it so max value meant bricks, not sets.
I am glad they moved with the times and they deserve the success, while I lament the free form nature of the original limited palette it's great to see diversity in their ranges. So in amongst a sea of appalling franchised products not to mention homegrown eco-disasters like LOL dolls which seems to have a maximum waste formula, it's great to see them thrive, there will always be a place in my heart (and home!) for Lego.
Big plus if it can "mind-map" your data and any other data that is public through the service, at the "tag" level or maybe with some deeper understanding of it.

Like, if you start writing an essay on black holes, or doing a kubernetes deployment, it can "suggest" you what other people have done and/or show you how people solve specific issues.

Maybe the idea is to broad and I definitely need to organize my thoughts on this. but yeah, sometimes you don't have to start from scratch nor have the information "fully ready" for you to start leveraging it.
I recently got back into Lego via buying Avengers related sets. I'm in my mid 40s and our kid has moved out.

I didn't set out to do this, but I've found that assembling Lego sets and idly putting together my own creations has really helped with anxiety. Just being able to follow the instructions and sort through different bricks is an exercise in Zen and mindfulness that I hadn't realized would be so effective.

Similar with jigsaw puzzles my wife and I assemble together, Lego takes me away from work and life stresses for an hour or two. PC games are also a source of escape, and reading too. All of these seem more effective than watching TV or reading/commenting on Reddit.

I recently bought a Lego Avengers SHIELD Helicarrier second hand. It was already assembled but covered in dust. I've disassembled the whole thing and can't wait to spend a few hours putting together all 3,000 pieces :) https://rebrickable.com/sets/76042-1/the-shield-helicarrier/

I think my current favourite "set" was a "MOC" (my own creation) designed by someone else that I bought the pieces for. The pieces were bought from a Danish and a German seller, and were very easy to get via Brick Link. Behold, the Lego Rocinante from The Expanse: https://imgur.com/gallery/1sCBWNe

If you are looking for a hobby, getting into Lego is something I can recommend for those of us lucky enough to have disposable income. Once you start registering on www.rebrickable.com and www.bricklink.com you can catalogue your sets, see what your pieces can build, buy spare parts and discover thousands of amazing models designed by people all over the world.

Have fun building!
It doesn't appear that GitHub has announced anything about Discussions on their site yet. My guess is that a few select large repositories (e.g. zeit/next.js) are trying out the beta to provide feedback. We'll probably get some official communication from GitHub shortly, with the ability to sign up for the beta.

Github has a really great url api - you can usually do git related compares right there in the url - github.com/some/repo/compare/HEAD...comitsha is actually a thing.

And while not particularly ergonomic you can have PR against other PR since forever.

Github is built by devs for devs and has tons of hidden gems scattered in there. Do read their shortcuts help, blog and other dev sources and you might find tools for a lot of the task you can think of.

Michael E Man has plenty of tweets maligning his critics. He even sued his critics for defamation & lost the lawsuit, owing legal fees to the defendants. Why? He did not produce the data supporting his hockey stick graph to the court after several years (https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/08/michael_mann_cr...)...

We have been told by the media that there is a 97% consensus (which has been debunked, https://wattsupwiththat.com/2013/09/03/cooks-97-consensus-di...) & the debate is over. Now we are hearing that APW critics are bots?

Why the lights are going out for fireflies
Perhaps randomly changing the layout? Sometimes the keys are presented in a circular format, another in a figure-8, zigzag, odd numbers at the top of the screen, even at the bottom, etc.

Another tactic might be to have randomized extra keys that show up in a different color or position that aren't a part of the actual PIN but that must all be pressed, in any order, to intermix in the sequence as the the real PIN is entered in proper order. The extra numbers obfuscate the real PIN.

Say, the real PIN is 18145 but 4 extra keys in a distinct color or motif are presented so that the key presses might be 1-8 (real) 8-4 (false) 1-4 (real) 3-6 (false) 5 (real) but the false keys are different each time. It wouldn't matter what order the false keys are pressed or when in the sequence they are pressed as they are ignored by the real PIN mechanism.
Modeling our election campaign laws after NASCAR is probably not the best idea.

If you are in a better position now, then treat yourself to some genuine Lego, I get that the fun factor is similar, but do check out the engineering tolerance on the Lego bricks, it's been sustained over decades :)
The alchemical transformation between needs is in fact what money is for. And money is lost in the transformation due to friction. The computer age is impressive but easily overlooks advances in fields, like Foucault's Order of Things and his presentation of Economic theory. Such awareness would prevent such drastic oversimplifications imo
Interesting, thx for the reply. I haven’t tried GCC in the last few updates, so will try again.

Edit: just tried it and indeed you are right, it works in a few cases now. Clang also works for basic test cases.
Netflix loves Cassandra, right? [0][1] So could someone describe why it wasn't a great fit for Uber? How come it was easier to invent the wheel in Go compared to cobbling together something with Cassandra/ES/Kafka (or other Java gadgets from the Hadoop ecosystem)?

Blu-Ray is truly worth it for these films anyway. They’re available on AppleTV here in Japan, but streaming doesn’t do them justice.
factual error - "almost a third of the unconnected are in India". It should be "almost a quarter of the unconnected are in india.". 0.9B of 3.5B.

There are ~550M internet users in India (2019), that leaves out ~750 million unconnected users. 150M less than 0.9B.

There are other factual errors as well. Real sloppy journalism.

The first two C# solutions come closer to actually implementing Amb, though.

The Purebasic solution depends on the operands being strings, and the F# solution depends on them being sequences. And the way that the 'Ambassert' works in both of them is hardcoded, too.

Since the problem was 'create an Amb implementation and demonstrate it using the data below' and not 'create an Amb-like thing that can only solve for cases where the operands are strings/sequence and the last item in operand 1 must match the first item in operand 2', I believe that the C# solutions actually solve the problem, while the Purebasic and F# solutions do not.

I have seen this happening in other forums, particularly the comments section of the New York Times. I can't be sure that astroturfing is what's happening, but it seems pretty likely given this new information.
I would qualify that idea.

Momentum is important and you can lose it by tackling risk too late or too early.

When a new team or project is forming, doing the riskiest thing first can become a self fulfilling prophecy. I suspect that’s a big part of why so many of us get wedged trying to start personal projects or businesses. We go toward the risk too quickly in an effort to save time and then we save loads of it by giving up.

You do want to build toward the risky things, both as a team and individual contributors. Some teams fail to thrive because the senior members continue to take on the bulk of the risk, while new or younger members are forever stuck at mid-level until they quit and join another team.
I can't remember the exact interview (I think it was a docu about the LEGO building designed by BIG on Netflix), where Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen told that the last decade LEGO is having a lot of competition from other toys, (game)computers and so on.

That's why they were forced to start selling themed series and to explore other audiences.

Edit: Netflix: LEGO house - home of the brick.
Most software projects are nowhere near the scope of a suspension bridge, and the DOM is certainly a lot higher level than "building by hand". Your analogy is terrible.
UK AI – Where are we now?
What happened is they realised that franchise licenses are much more profitable that LEGO Creator or LEGO City sets. Marketing and selling sets based on media franchises turns out to be a goldmine, and more creative and imaginative toys less so. That's why every blasted new set coming out seems like it's Star Wars branded, or Harry Potter, or facking Avengers... Likewise, it has shifted from an open-ended activity and mode of creative expression (see older adverts for Lego: https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https%3... or https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https%3...) towards more of a "build once according to strict instructions then set aside".

It's all quite sad. But then again, at the same time, the company was in dire financial situation under the previous management. There is some chance that without this pivot towards franchises LEGO would not even exist anymore (though I doubt it honestly).
A positive thing for International companies is that India has a very large section of English speakers and that is only growing. So they did enter and expanded in the market easily.

But in the last few years due to Jio revolution, people from tier 3 cities and villages and getting connected to the internet for the first time. So companies wanting to capture these markets have to put extra effort into their products. Aside from language preferences, this section sees products in a different manner. Like Tiktok and Youtube have very different "popular" videos here.

I suppose we have the 2008 crisis to thank for creating a popular view that finance is an entirely morally corrupt industry. Perhaps it's not surprising given the role "fancy financial instruments" played there. All the same, it strikes me as strange to find moving risk around to be more morally difficult than designing a missile - moving risk around is at least sometimes straightforwardly beneficial for everyone involved, a missile strike less so...

Well I think the whole pirate/ninja thing is a great metaphor for hackers, so technically you are a blackbeard. My friend and old business partner is 3 years older than me but still highly productive making games in Unity, so I think of him as a wizard or maybe a whitebeard. I'm just, haggard, so feel like a graybeard even though I can't grow one.
I don’t know where they come from but my nearby used book store sells gallon-sized ziploc bags filled with random legos. Most of them are old, which is awesome. You get the old space logo.
