Accessibility of the code should trump that. Stuff that we like to call 'temporary' inevitably ends up as long-term, and we have no idea what will really happen to it in future.
I think a lot of it comes from the fact that they used to be the golden child of science, but the influence and prestige of HEP has been a victim of it's own success. HEP just doesn't hold the same importance it used to, and that stings for the people who dedicated their lives to it.

As they pushed to higher and higher energies and events with lower and lower cross sections, they're solving problems that matter less and less, and are increasingly less likely to be useful in any way.

Of course, it's still incredibly interesting to know about the fundamental building blocks of the universe, but without a promise of practical applications, or at least a convincing argument that they'll find something interesting with this new collider, I find it really hard to justify the price tag.

Would knowing what physics does at 100TeV be any more valuable to us than a great work of literature? I'm not sure.

> If you aren't able to read research papers and synthesize an opinion on them then by your own standards it seems you shouldn't have an opinion here. You can't tell whether Damore was right or wrong because you can't read papers from different fields and reach conclusions.

I cannot personally derive a conclusion about Damore from the literature. What I can do is ask world experts about their thoughts. In general, this is an effective way of developing reasonable opinions about the state of research. I'm friends with a few social psych faculty who study workplaces and let's just say that they don't hold Damore in high regard.

I'm super uninterested in having an argument about the merits of his essay since that discussion has been had thousands of times and no progress can be made. But "well he has a master's degree from harvard" is among the least compelling arguments in his favor.
I personally would be skeptical of someone with an online education. Even many of the online degrees offered by state schools tend to be lower quality than the equivalent on-campus programs.

Man this site is harsh some times, I think there is a lot of depth to this question. It’s easy to look at statistics and say that it’s because of massive wealth imbalances and that is 100% an accurate statement. But from experience / polling there’s also a ton of people who have bad financial hygiene, people who could & should be way more invested and aren’t. So I think there’s also very big educational issues at play / wealth imbalance glosses over a lot of smaller but still important issues.
It is surprising that you think you know everything and that you actually know nothing.

It is very possible to make money betting (I have been doing it for over ten years). As you won't believe me, I would do some Googling on this. One of the biggest employers out of engineering programs in the UK is a betting syndicate. And betting is just probability. If the event happens more often than the price, you make money.
So awesome... The ring buffer is like a generic asynchronous system call submission mechanism. The set of supported operations is already a subset of available Linux system calls:

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/include/uapi/l...

It almost gained support for ioctl:

https://lwn.net/Articles/810414/

Wouldn't it be cool if it gained support for other types of system calls? Something this awesome shouldn't be restricted to I/O...
I'm sorry. Just telling the truth.

I mostly posted because I feel a lot of people have bad relationships with parents that actually do love them but for various other reasons (psychological problems, poverty, stress, drugs etc... ) ended up just having a bad relationship with their parents.

I think it's absolutely worth it to try and establish contact and maintain a relationship if you feel that the relationship problems are superficial and underneath it all your parents do love you.

In that article, the mother lost contact with both of her children. It is not a trivial situation to be in when both children don't want contact. She must have done many things that were really serious and really horrible. But her last email she wrote that she loves both of them no matter what, and I think that is real.

What I am saying is that as imperfect as people are as much damage and toxicity they have done, if you sense that underneath it all there's genuine love then it's absolutely worth maintaining that relationship because you're never going to get someone to love you like this again. If true love even exists, it can only exist from parent to child.
I got "sold on VR" because I tried it? Like, I have been super busy recently, and so haven't barely had time to stand up much less use VR, but for most of a year I used VR every single day. This article isn't even arguing that it doesn't work or anything: it is arguing that it might not be mainstream, which is entirely different... this is like asking "I don't understand how all these Smart people got sold into computers" back when computers were mainframes with a very limited market, as if until something is ready for a mainstream market no one should bother owning one or using it for anything :/.

Not really. Think of it from the customer's side. You sent an email to who you were thinking was legitimate. You want it to go to the person/group you sent it to.

So, because of that, the admins (and customer facing) want to deliver the message.

I do understand the complexity of this problem. I'm sure for large corps that wouldn't be true...

I talk to my (Indian) parents every day, even if it is a 1-min courtesy call. Started when I went off to college in a different city. And it's also a rather common thing among everyone I know regardless of social status. So, I guess what is typical is dependent on country or culture.
I'm a practicing biomedical researcher.

When people in my daily life do the "X ... for SCIENCE!" thing, or i see "science: it works, bitches" bumper stickers, or the like, I'm always a little sad.

I try to remind myself that the map isn't the terrain, and that humans are guaranteed to build little cargo cults just to form a hermeneutic and handle the world, but it's still disappointing to see the form of a thing being, frankly, worshipped, instead of the thing itself being used productively. The scientific process is (to abuse a phrase a little more) a wonderful servant , but a terrible master.

Hell, even Indiana Jones comes up sometimes: "Archaeology is the search for fact, not Truth. If it's Truth you're interested in, Dr. Tyree's philosophy class is right down the hall."

I know that scientific fields are not even close to being alone in this, it's just a sobering reminder to keep myself on my toes. Feynman's point in "Cargo Cult Science" (1974)[0] remains very true: it is really super hard to avoid bullshitting yourself, even if you're aware that that's a thing that can happen and you try to prevent it.

Yea I think you might be. You're not wrong that they should be more up front in some ways but in general if you are a big enough company to eat a month or so of testing costs and you have a simi compitent IT/Ops group the cost savings will outweigh or at least be on par with other options over time. Combine that with the time saved in coming up with backup and deployment solutions, not to mention auditing, and it's kind of a no brainier unless your management are a bunch of seat warmers.
I see the opposite, these behaviors seem most espoused by intelligent folk, who know there is value in science but whose opinions are riddled with emotional bias, as well as the media and politicians, who in turn know that the words “science” and “fact” can be used to appeal to intelligent folks’ emotions.
You can see this clearly when politicians claim to be “leading with science and facts”.

It’s all appeal to authority or emotion, with some science going on, but mostly scientism.

edit: You can replace “intelligent folk” with “intelligentsia”, as to not imply any IQ difference. I’m contrasting “fringe communities” with the more mainstream “intelligentsia”. The difference at play is perceived intelligence, not actual.
No. Kubernetes is a complicated piece of orchestration software that codifies some of the techniques giant tech companies like Google and Facebook have developed to work at their scale.

Under the hood you still have to configure and manage the actual computers and their operating systems, which means you're also running Chef, Puppet, or the like. You need to have a pretty big engineering organization (handwavingly, the few hundred engineer range) before it makes sense to run both the config manager and Kubernetes.

Managed Kubernetes may change this equation for you if you're going that route.

> the new YAML CF is better than the old JSON CF, but it’s still tough to read long complex stacks.

These days I would recommend using CDK if you can’t switch to Terraform but I would never under any circumstances recommend YAML since the odds approach certainty that the magic in the parser will cause a problem. Beyond the usual confusion around typing I’ve seen things like significant whitespace breaking functionality[1] and the shorthand types in a few cases make diffs messier. If you find an example in YAML, it takes a second to run it through cfn—flip and you’ll never have to deal with any of that.

For anyone using CF seriously, I highly recommend the cfn-python-lint tool and associated editor support. It will catch many of these cases before you burn a lengthy update cycle.

1. Fun fact: AWS’ own security alert CF stack fails the Security Hub CIS scanner because it adds extra white space the metric filters.

I wonder if there is an exception for execs. At a previous employer it was quite common for a big piece of news to be announced by a senior exec and then have the CEO and other execs reply all in a big storm. Definitely more than 5,000 FTE on the list.
I’m sure you are trying to be helpful so I’m not trying to criticize you personally or devalue what you are sharing! More of a general gripe for me:

Anger and sadness are both very helpful, understandable and ok emotions. There is nothing wrong or dysfunctional about either of those feelings.

I think the cultural norm that certain emotions are “bad” and that we can “change” our emotions is extremely destructive for many people.

We can control (and our responsible for) our thoughts and actions.

I don’t think people can actually control their emotions however and making people feel ashamed or unhealthy because of their emotional reactions is unfair. This is actually one of the symptoms of abusive parent-child relationships that I think many people have unavoidably internalized.

A lot of people have experienced serious emotional trauma due to cultural norms and an unhealthy value system about how parents treat their children (as well as by being parented by traumatized people who have grown up in similar circumstances)

There are a lot of good books about it if you search for Complex PTSD. One that I think covers a lot of information holistically is “Healing Developmental Trauma” by Laurence Heller and Aline LaPierre
Games did its fair share of making the PC mainstream. Many got a PC to be able to play Doom.

Games today is mainstream. Everyone young plays games now, might not talk about it but everyone does.

So I def think games can be a driver to make VR mainstream. Social media meets games in the other end. All it takes is VR to be both more immersive and more comfortable than playing games on flat screen.

I think the switch from BTC's demand being supported by the needs of 1.7 billion people to a small minority to the 'playfulness' of a minority of the Western world pretty much underlines the difference between the fantasy and the reality.

WRT crypto appealing to some people's playfulness, I entirely agree with you: it's well established fact that a non-trivial number of people in the Western world enjoy gambling with Bitcoin or cryptokitties, and some of them have deep reserves of cash and algorithms to pump more in when they see a trend they like. But the thing about 'playfulness' is it doesn't make a stable store of value or useful medium of exchange: for that you need the amount of new money flooding in to equal the amount of money flowing out. And people move on to playing with new things.
It surely depends on the OS, and on the PKCS#11 implementation. I tested ykcs11 and OpenSC on macOS and they were like I described. I had started this project as a simple setup tool for PKCS#11 configurations and had to build the agent to get the UX I wanted.

Also, not having to re-enter the PIN after unplug means it's being cached in memory rather than on device, which I'm not a fan of. In yubikey-agent that's handled by using a graphical pinentry during operation to avoid the manual unlock step.

I'm not trying to sound intellectual, I'm just trying to convince you my experience is real. I posted a very simple response to the article, detailing one direct consequence of a preference for libraries over frameworks. You're the one that jumped in to tell me I was making it up.

You can take personally any criticism of your favourite language and its proponents (I'm still one of them, honest!), or you can approach technology with a degree of scepticism. Really no interest of mine, and it's clear the feeling is mutual. Good luck in your future endeavours (and for what it's worth, I used to work for a Clojure NLP startup so I do genuinely mean that - wouldn't it be nice if there was a nice cohesive framework for NLP tasks in Clojure?)
That was kind of my point. While all of this is true, these are not material limitations for the implementation of high-performance storage engines. For example, using unbuffered file descriptors is a standard design element of databases for performance reasons that remain true.

Being able to drive networking over io_uring would be a big advantage but my understanding from people using it is that part is still a bit broken.
IME email storms are most often for one of two reasons:

- someone mistakenly sends a mail to List B instead of List A, so everyone on List B goes "Huh? Remove me from this"

- someone correctly sends an email to List A, but List A was poorly configured and people were put on it without their knowledge and respond in confusion

A "too many recipients" warning wouldn't help with either of these cases.
"If It'S nOt ScIeNcE iT's A lIE" is an exceptionally common trope, especially among the people in my social strata. I'm not entirely sure that people espousing that belief set are even doing so explicitly, i think it's so implicit as to have become an unconsidered axiom.

I (see upthread), a scientist myself, think it's absolute hogwash, and i'm certainly not abnormal among my peers in that.

There's something about being the person who not only watches how the sausage is made but has spent (ack) 14 years at this point making sausages of several kinds that kind of strips away overly idealistic expectations about How Pure And Right This Thing Must Be. If you're lucky, and i think i am, you learn enough humility to acknowledge the value of other people's sausage-makings. And, often, have the right state of mind to see and acknowledge the intellectual power and meaningful contributions of people well outside my field.

> "If functional programming is that good, why is nobody using it?"

In the past 25 years, I think we've seen quite clearly that programming language popularity depends on many different factors, and "quality of he underlying paradigm" is way down on that list -- if it's even a factor at all.

Just a quick glance at any list of most-used-languages will tell you that 50% of popularity is "is it being pushed by a big company?", and 25% is "is it the primary interface for a popular platform?"

Take away those two factors and there's maybe only about 3 languages left in the top 25 (Python, Ruby, PHP?).

Where quality shines is in being able to stay a viable niche for a long period of time. That's Scheme.

"The best thing is to do the right thing; the next best is to do the wrong thing; the worst thing of all things is to stand perfectly still"

(taken from the wikipedia article on this topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_paralysis)

I think this is pretty good advice - in a way, the only bad thing to do is nothing. Failure is the best learning tool, so make a choice and commit to it. When exploring a new field, working on a new project, or starting a new company, no amount of thinking about things is going to land you on the perfect decision every time. Its better to be decisive, even if it means making random decisions. Just be sure to take time to execute your decisions, time to reflect on how they went, and the courage to let them go if they dont work.

Well, to be fair, these user space components are often judged as catastrophes from the point of view of Linux/UNIX users/admins. In other words, Windows components for same tasks were never scrutinized at this level. Windows users used often scoff at me when I am troubleshooting problems with my Linux boxes. But the fact is, I can troubleshoot and in most cases fix problems with systemd/NetworkManager, whereas when corresponding problems arise on Windows boxes there's really not much you can lean on, because inner workings of these components are not public, so 95% of Google searches result in total crap, and the remaining 5% reveal that design of these components isn't at all that perfect. (NetworkManager equivalent in Windows is big pile of steaming crap.)

So yeah, I don't like design of systemd. But hell, compared to dealing with Windows, it's precious.
