That would make sense, those kind of optimizations are common in video games. Objects with physics go to sleep when they stop moving. Things off screen don't get rendered. Culling of objects based on distance or zoom level. Lots of tricks like those.

Special Relativity:
It's easier to win a race with a slow stopwatch. You run a 5 minute mile. Other person's fast watch shows 7. Nature doesn't care about your watch. Like a hot water tank it's going to press out everywhere. Nature efficiently takes some energy, slows down it's own watch because it's the easiest way to move. With heat being transferred through the vacuum of empty space between the sun and the earth, it will be really nice to say changing clocks is it's own thermal medium alongside conduction and convention. Now you just need to make it a general principle.

Einstein and Brownian Motion:
Brownian motion reverses the second law. A bath of particles causing each one to move instead of each particle having it's own little internal thermodynamic engine, like dust in the sunlight. That allows you to apply subatomic principles outside the atom. Nature doesn't care about what we call an atom. Atoms exist because all of the light and heat being radiated already sees them that way.

Boltzmann and the Kinetic Theory of Gasses:
Modeling an atom, focusing a lens, connecting conductive surfaces, I think of as little soup cans. Ideally, two particles either collide with each other, the walls of the soup can, or nothing else. That way you can just talk in probabilities, 99%, 10%, and put an end for a building block collect-a-thon.

Planck and Photons:
If you just had thermal transfer on temperature difference alone, closing the door on cupboard full of cast iron pots and pans causes on to be white hot and all the other ones turn as dark as they could be. Planck calculated if it exists, it needs to increase energy before it radiates higher energy. Einstein said you have a start, you have an end, you have a particle. That particle isn't a little cannonball shot out of the atom. More a photo of the entire object at once. Regardless of the intensity focused on one spot, the photon exchange, using time as it's medium, hits the entire photoelectric conductive surface at once, so frequency, the weight of the photon matters, not the intensity or amount per second.

Gravity:
I think of a film project strip at two different frame rates. Since nature is in the terms of photons and photoelectric effects, I can have one really long frame rate, and one really short frame rate. The Earth's on the slow one. It has to tick, so it orbits. Sun's on the long one, one tick for every 365 of the Earth.
Totally agree. It's also easier for McDonalds to post a black box to say they care rather than address that 75% of their black female employees will experience sexual harassment at some point while working there.

Bob Dylan's 17-minute song on the JFK assassination is a work of epic genius
I found his chapters "Where good ideas come from and how to exploit them" (https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3226595.3226608) and "Where we have failed" (https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3226595.3226609) particularly insightful. A thread running through both is make sure you're working on problems that people actually have.

Much of the chapter on where we failed is about problems in the academic system itself. He has some proposed solutions, but I don't know how effective (or realistic) they are. I also don't have easily expressible solutions myself.

Unless this was a double-blind study and the audio levels were exactly the same between runs, this is useless data. Even a 0.1dbSPL difference between runs is noticeable (people gravitate to louder sounds as better).

> every time I switch sound cards to 24 bits

This may be related to the sound card. I use an external DAC, not a soundcard, as most soundcards that come with computers are not up to par.

Changing 16 bits to 24 bits should not change the audio in a way that is discernible to the human ear.

Jet engines are indeed hard. But with the upcoming tech transfer from Ukraine as well as the slow but steady improvement of the WS-15, I would be incredibly surprised if it took more than 6 years for the WS-15 program to yield a serviceable engine.

Even the US relied on foreign jet engines for a time, although you won't hear about it a lot - for example, an absolutely huge amount of engineers were hired from AVRO in Canada after the development of the superior Iroquois engine (which had by quite a margin the highest nominal thrust as well as the highest) as well as other Orenda engines, and their work was absolutely instrumental to the US becoming superior to the USSR in jet engine technology. I don't know if this is publicly available information, so you might have to trust me on it, but I guarantee you even the US had a 20+ year period where it had to steal engineers and tech in order to jumpstart it's lead, which is exactly what we are seeing with China.

Would you mind pointing out where the lie(s) are in the article? I just skimmed it and even though there's an obvious bias I didn't notice anything that seemed blatantly untrue

edit: To expand on that, a statement like "[The media] lied about the Trump campaign colluding with Russia in 2016." is going to be controversial. However because "the media" is such a big umbrella, I'm sure you could find a factually untrue article published about the collusion. It's a bit tautological: if one media source publishes an article saying collusion happened, and another publishes an article saying that collusion didn't happen, one of them has to be wrong. You can decide that without determining whether or not collusion actually happened.

My impression of the intended rules is that comments need to have "substance" as to constructively carry a conversation. Pointing relevant things out like the price, and making a comment in the form of a joke is perfectly normal in a conversation. You might not have a response but other's may, and indeed you can see a few people continuing the joke for fun.

It's the comments that have no substance, the "no you're wrong" kind that doesn't actually _say_ anything, or specifically baiting for heated responses in flame wars that are issues.

You might not like the jokes, but this type are definitely allowed.

Ada language had generics since the first 1983 standard. When C++ came about it introduced OOP features that Ada lacked and didn't get for another 12 years when 1995 standard was introduced. C++ users never missed generics for many years and the language became ubiquitous while Ada remained marginalized. What's interesting is that all strongly typed languages have now jumped on the generics bandwagon, which to me shows that being ahead of its time doesn't pay off.

An Iterative Approach to Notes
But what you can prove at compile time is rarely useful. You can use phantom types, smart constructors, and the like, but after a while you need a runtime to do anything interesting.

An example: this function is only valid on positive, odd integers in the range 3-91. With any static type system, this has to be a runtime check anyway.

I’m not an expert on dependent types, but that sounds like what those try and solve. But at that point, you just want compile time to be a full program, which has all of the same pitfalls as the runtime of a program.

The story is admittedly different when we're talking about legacy games that are no longer supported. Even if pushing the button is easy, if there's nobody there to do it, that doesn't help.

But the good news it that game life cycles have gotten much longer; where in the past a game was seen as a fire-and-forget project, these days a game may get active updates for five or more years after launch. And not just AAA, but indies too.
I feel so too. My gf, who has worked at a series of ${BIGCO}s, is a little frustrated frustrated by this: "but you could be earning more and working shorter hours" (what a laugh when you see the hours she puts in).

Or we can learn to read them. Just treat types like a first class value. You either assign names to types like you do to values, or you can assign a name to a function that returns a type, this being generics.

Yeah, I had this idea at first, but it's not trivial to run more than one kernel at the same time.

First of all, IANAL:

An email asking how much of a salary drop it would take to drop the non compete (thus giving Amazon the chance to negotiate) and them replying with "its non-negotiable" should go quite far, the problem is you have to wait until Amazon sues you to actually see if it'll work.

Your best bet would be to retain a lawyer as soon as you get an offer and tell him to do his best to get you out of the non compete, and the legal strategy will vary greatly depending on the state in which you are being hired.
From very, very early in the project-

"Generics may well be added at some point. We don't feel an urgency for them, although we understand some programmers do."

...

"Generics are convenient but they come at a cost in complexity in the type system and run-time. We haven't yet found a design that gives value proportionate to the complexity, although we continue to think about it."

...

"The topic remains open"

They haven't flip-flopped whatsoever. Now that the language has more thoroughly been fleshed out and community has matured, and various proposals have come and gone, the discussion continues.
TeamViewer's publicly-known business model has nothing to do with advertising or otherwise monetizing your private data, while Google's does. There's nothing inconsistent about using one while avoiding the other.

That said, I agree TeamViewer in a position to collect & monetize my usage by nature of being cloud-dependent & closed-source. I'd rather use an open-source self-hosted option. Haven't found a good one yet, but that doesn't mean we should ignore privacy hazards where they can be easily avoided.

On the list of things the OP wants was, "Product I believe in – alignment of the team towards a true north centered on product, Minimal levels of team toxicity"

A quicker way to find this may be by popping up a level and asking, "who do I really want to help, and then what product do they need?"

That lack of a "who," in the north star turns companies into a race to the bottom. The "why," implied by the "who" needs to be there as well, but find some people you like or admire and build something they want. It's a different class of problem than working for a large org where most of big corp products are just about leverage and optimization, instead of desire and growth.

As a Brit who's been to SV a few times, I don't get the typical American disdain for the scenery. Stanford University is absolutely beautiful and so many of the neighborhoods I saw in Palo Alto were lined with trees and full of beautiful houses. You have a great hilly backdrop and even the 280 through Los Altos is gorgeous. There are endless blocks of offices and more modest housing too, of course, but I think the majority of British cities look a lot worse than what the Bay Area has to offer – they're not all as gorgeous as Cambridge, Oxford or Bath. Forgetting the horrific cost of living, I'd rather live amongst the scenery of SV than on the outskirts of Reading, Guildford, or Manchester, say.

Sounds like someone didn't want a black-led government in charge of the nukes[2]. I agree with the end result; but I question the motives.

1. Neighboring nations gained majority rule through armed conflict - excluding Namibia, which was effectively a client state of South Africa after being ceded by Germany in a world war.

2. Which would have been destabilizing, considering the white secessionist sentiment (minorority, but significant). There was a legitimate concern over right-wing separatists who were agitating for an autonomous white homeland/territory.

I disagree entirely with the "forbidden" wording. That's it. Tier 2 is not "Forbidden" it is a statement on the level of support.

I agree with your point about political issues - the entire tier list, specifically even Rust being tier 2, was political. I saw stupid shit like that too many times at Dropbox.

But it is simply a fact that new projects are being built in Rust, regardless of the political aspects of why that is the case despite it being tier 2. "Forbidden" does not convey the state of things - everything else you've said is agreeable.
