I hadn't checked LinkedIn for months. After reading this post I decided to login. First thing I saw was a post from a former colleagues hiring a position that fits my experience at one of the few companies I'd really love to work at. Messaged him on LinkedIn, spoke 15 minutes later and the process has begun.
Not sure what you mean, sorry?

When a conference chooses which papers to accept, that's them accepting the paper.

I'm sure it varies, of course, but where I live a thousand bucks will get you a bog standard side-by-side fridge of middling quality. Functional, but not the least bit exciting. Everyone seems to want french door models these days, and that pretty much instantly pushes you to the $2000 range.

We have a french door fridge and I loathe it. Someone told me to skip that and get a bottom freezer single-door, but my wife really wanted the french door. We regret it. The recommendation to avoid was spot-on.

Zoom: Improving Our Policies as We Continue to Enable Global Collaboration
There’s one particular domain where this question runs deep - tests that verify parts of distributed systems. Note: please do not extrapolate any problem described below outside of distributed systems.

For instance in Kubernetes we run lots of tests that verify parts of the system actually working together, not just mocked. A fair amount of the time, once tests are in and soaked, the test flake is actually the canary that says things like “no, the kernel regressed networking AGAIN” or “no, your retry failure means that etcd lost quorum - which shouldn’t have happened, what on earth is going on, oh, someone suddenly started hotlooping and now the api server is performing 10k writes a second”.

At some point, testing the system in isolation is not enough because all failures are interactions of multiple components. Your flakes are the evidence that the gigantic stack of software known as “modern computing run from HEAD lol” is full bugs.

It’s definitely a culture change - once anyone anywhere thinks “oh it’s just flaky” they stop treating it like signal. Once they treat it like noise, it’s very hard to unwind.

Today, when I look at one of those test suites and see a flake, I assume that everything in open source is broken, again, and pull out the shovel, because 75% of the time it is.

conspiracy hypothesis
You can simply multiply that sum by 100 or 1000 and ask yourself how would you react if the same happened to you. In this order:

1) you buy several Pepsi

2) you discover you won 40 million

3) you discover everyone else won 40 million

4) it is explained to you that there was a mistake and you can get 100 dollars as a refund.

5) you start burning cars and throwing bombs together with all the others because each really really wants his 40 million.

Do you think you would go from 4 to 5? Do you think your society would work if it contained a large percentage of people who would go from 4 to 5? That's what I was trying to point out.

Interesting insight: Most people can't fall asleep because of overthinking but specifically conversations that happened months ago with a friends. Moral of the story: watch what you say because a person can come back to it months from now even if unaffected at that moment.

It's not "more/less connectivity". It's likely just dis-inhibition of negative feeback loops that leads to the same result. Interesting question is what pharmacology would be best to study consciousness, if or when one could define it.
Ruby is not really slowing us down, the bigger issue is that we have a lot of integration tests and few isolated unit tests. So we are massively parallelizing our builds so we can get p50 build times of 23 minutes when running the whole test suite. The time mentioned in the article is a little bit closer to the p95 time.

> If there’s an intensity of flakiness that can withstand the gaze of a couple hundred engineers for more than an hour or so, we haven’t found one yet.

That is a good approach and we also used to disable tests that would fail on full master builds. When it comes to fixing intermittently failing tests we are now storing every test run so we can analyze our test suite. This way we are able to find the slowest and flakiest tests in the codebase, disable them, and notify the owners of the code to investigate.
I assume the parent commenter meant unit tests must take < 100ms. Unit tests should be mocking databases in-memory. So latency to databases in unit tests should be less than a microsecond.

It's okay (and expected) if integration and end-to-end tests take more than 100ms.
I would add: have a process or framework for evaluating and adopting new technologies. Sometimes new technologies end up as part of the stack through pure momentum (hey, we built this prototype...) rather than deliberate choice. Be mindful of what the technology is being used for and what the costs of changing down the road might be.

Political correctness keeps finding new old, trivial things to retroactively demonize as "racist." At this rate, because one person maybe offended somewhere, all art must be destroyed, and making or possessing art will be punishable by death. "No singing either! Burn the racist heretic!"

Imagine that you have voting rights to review a paper (a-la slashdot, where random people got opportunity to tag something as insightful, interesting, etc).

Now imagine that there comes an article in X subject (say, Agent Based Modeling).

When you "vote" in that article, the "dimension" of your vote is proportional to your "impact factor" in that subject (i.e., say you published 20 articles in ABM and you got 10 "votes" on them, then each of your votes count as 10 votes). On the contrary, if your impact factor is negative, your vote doesn't count. That way people that are considered "knowledgable" in their subject, will be able to peer-review other articles.

Another method would be something like what StackOverflow has: Initially everybody gets 1 vote (or 10, or 1 every month, or whatever), and you "transfer it" by voting for an article (maybe to the 1st author, or evenly distributed), so because the "votes" are scarce, people with care for them. And people with articles that are most voted, can themselves vote more.

There are plenty of systems that could work. And the beauty of it is that they could be "layered" on top of Arxiv with a Chrome extension or similar.

Overlays were common on MS-DOS in the 80s.

A typical scheme was to have a configuration file / script for the linker. You would list one or more blocks, each of which had a list of mutually exclusive .obj files to be swapped in and out as needed. It could be challenging to track dependencies between objects to make sure you never called between modules which were supposed to be mutually exclusive, which was why you sometimes had multiple swap buffers.

Later linkers, or proprietary schemes like in Turbo Pascal version 5, would swap things per subroutine, rather than per compilation unit (.obj file), which was much easier to use.

(I did once see some people make a C function that was literally over 50 printed pages long, and the overlay manager didn’t help them much with OOM, among other problems that thing had)
When it comes to browser automation tests, everywhere I've worked at suffered from intermittently failing tests. When I was at the Ministry of Justice (UK), I configured CircleCI to run tests hundreds of times [1] (over a number of days) through cron jobs. This allowed me to reflect on all test results, and find out what failed most often and eventually solve those root causes. This strategy worked well.

Interestingly enough, just today I posted a GitHub thread [2] and asked the community to 'thumbs up' the video course they'd like for me to create. "Learn Browser Automation" is currently the highest voted. If it's the one I end up making, a huge focus will absolutely be on: How to reduce test flakiness with headless browsers.

Words of advice, avoiding sleep() and other brittle bits of code will help. But in addition, run your tests frequently to catch out the flakiness early. Invest in tooling which helps you diagnose failing tests (screenshots, devtools trace dumps). Configure something like VNC so you can remotely connect to the machine running the test.

Here's a link showing the cards themselves: https://scryfall.com/search?q=Invoke+Prejudice+OR+%28%21Clea...

And here's an example of how they look now in Gatherer, the official card database: https://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/card/details.aspx?multive...

An interesting thing to note is that these cards are from before Wizards decided to stop referencing our world in the game and focus entirely on building their own fictional one. One of these cards is from 1999, the rest are from 1993-1994.

The article does hint that they're still investigating whether to remove more.

It seems to me that there are two distinct types of cards being banned here: cards that actually have real-world racist connatations (Invoke Prejudice, Jihad, Stone-Throwing devils, Pradesh Gypsies), and cards that have unfortunate wording when read by someone who doesn't play the game (Crusade, Cleanse).

I'm glad they're taking a stand on the former, but the latter seems rather silly. I'm no Magic expert, but black and white in the context of the game have literally nothing to do with the skin colour of humans, but are just a label representing the classic fantasy tropes of light and darkness.

That is, assuming I'm not missing something racist in the tiny thumbnails, which is very possible.
This is very well written.

If antitrust laws do not define google as a monopoly, it's obviously the antitrust laws that are wrong. Google is obviously a monopoly.

The 2018 case against Google in the EU (€1.5bn fine) made very similar points and won.

The real problem is what comes next. If recent history is a guide, it will be a cost-of-doing-business fine. This does nothing. At best, they'll adapt practices slightly. Maybe they've adapted enough post 2018 to make this case difficult.

We need a new approach. There is no way antitrust courts can act as regulators effectively. They find that a monopoly exists, but... the goal is not regulated monopolies.

The whole premise of antitrust is that monopolies are harmful in lots of systemic ways. We must assume that most are unknown. A prosecutor & court can't track down every monopolistic mechanism or dynamic and fine google for it. We need to avoid and void monopolies. This is why there are mechanisms to void mergers.

Adwords could IPO independently. They'd be a great, profitable company. So would Google search, youtube, android... All these could be financially viable companies independently.

Total share price would be lower. This reflects the fact that monopolies are more profitable. OTOH, the Google monopoly is an easy one to solve. It's so profitable that financial viability is easily achieved.
Occasionally it is possible. After seven years and more than one hundred games played I can tell you that I have been surprised by my opponent's reply not more than an handful of times. For "surprised" I mean he didn't play the top choice of the engine. In fact most of the times the best move in a given position is easily agreed on by any reasonable engine on any decent hardware. In few critical moments in the game, the best move is not clear and there are two or three or more playable alternatives that take into very different positions. In these cases the computer, after a long thought (one or more hours) usually converges to one suggestion and sticks to it even if given more time (a sort of "horizon effect"). These are the moments where a human, after a long thought, can overcome the computer suggestion and favor the 2nd or 3rd choice of the engine. So in brief no, I can't recall a game where I've been gifted the win by my opponent "weakened" move while most of the time I have confronted with the "engine's approved" suggestion and had to build my win by refuting it.
