Brilliant book. Thought provoking. It is one of those books that when you read it again, new insights emerge. The principles apply far beyond architecture. Fun to introspect and apply socratic thinking methods to see how it relates to aspects in our modern day life.
Ok, can you please quote where exactly I call him, Guillaume, a criminal?

If it wasn't clear, what I was meaning is that the behavior of ignoring unsubscribe requests is criminal. The "this" that he and I both refer to - being the event at hand.

I do apologize if that is unclear. I stand by the fact that ignoring opt-out requests in a timely manner is indeed illegal as defined by the CAN-SPAM Act [1].

> No, it’s not generally criminal to make a mistake

I disagree with your statement here, and actually, this is a perfect example where yes, it indeed can be criminal to make a mistake, if that mistake is failing to oblige by your users' opt-out requests. Even more so in the EU than in the states.

Mistake or not, I was at a point of frustration, having attempted to unsubscribe many, many times now, with and without the help of their support dept, to where I felt the need for this post as well as the language used.

And again, I'm just happy and appreciative it's resolved for myself as well as anyone else in that situation. I hope you have a good rest of your week.

"How many people buy Macs to run Windows games" is the wrong question.

I don't buy computers just to read websites (I can do that more comfortably on an iPad), or just to write documents (ever heard of the FreeWrite[1]?), or just to play games (I'd rather use a game console). Rather, I buy a computer because it's a single device that can do all of those things.

I almost added "and switch between them seamlessly" to the end of the last sentence, but of course on a Mac with Bootcamp, that's the one exception—you have to reboot in order to play a game. Still, on a laptop, I consider the ability quite valuable—I don't want to carry around a second computer just to play a quick game of Spelunky from time to time. If I couldn't do that at all on a Mac, it would be a point in favor of Windows.

From the specs:
BATTERY

Battery capacity = 605 Wh

Average runtime (no payload) = 90 mins
Recharge time = 120 mins

So you basically have to buy ~4 batteries ($4620 each) to get a 9 hour work day out of them...
Could a grown man ride it like a horse? This is such a cool, unknown, yet obvious technology but I have no idea what I would use it for. Rescuing people from volcanos? Bringing you a beer?

This is obviously designed for industrial and rescue uses, but I think it could be most successful in the entertainment industry (don't know how ethical that would be though)

> Especially when I don't believe in the "greater good", whatever it is for you today (apparently the CO2 footprint).

Ah, there it is. I get, why you are asking "for whom?" all the time. Talking about the planet here, based on scientific facts. If you don't believe in them, it's hard to argue.

> I am responsible for spending as much time as possible with my children

But leaving a better world behind for your children is not something you are responsible for?

Since you are calling me all kind of things, I will start doing the same: I personally think, you have constructed yourself a reality where you are doing the right thing. From somebody citing a big word like responsibility, I would expect also thinking about the world he is leaving behind for his children. But it works for you this way, so you are doing it this way. That's okay, you are human. I do the same in a different area of life.

I just want you to be taxed for it (or lets start with not being subsidized for it), so less people do it in that way.

It is not my problem, that you are living 40km away from your children. If you wanted to use a rocket or a tank to drive to them, you could not do that either.

I am btw. not saying that your lifestyle is the worst and I can also see that this is something that happened somehow and you did not plan it like this. It might be something that will always stay there. I just think it is not optimal. I think commuting to work by car (which many, many people are doing) is a way worse problem and also easier to improve.

For English Canada, the destruction of those
planes was a trauma that lasts to this day because
the Arrow represented the height of national pride,
and their destruction the deepest low.

I'm neither Canadian nor Japanese, but there may be parallels to how Japanese felt about the loss of the battleship Yamato (and her sister ship, Musashi) in WWII.

An underdog nation, with pride in "punching above its weight class", placed a lot of hope and pride in a single piece of military hardware.

It was the largest battleship ever built, key to the Japanese strategy in WWII. American battleships' guns and armor were limited by the need for American battleships to fit through the Panama Canal. Knowing this, Japan built the much larger Yamato class with armor impervious to the 16" guns on American battleships. Her 18" guns could cut through any American battleship with ease. The Yamato was really a marvel.

Of course, it was utterly useless in battle against the American navy. Its WWI-era fire control systems were decades behind those of American battleships, especially the Iowa class, and of course more importantly WWII showed the world that battleships were helpless against naval air superiority. The Yamato was sunk by American planes, having never fired a shot against an opposing battleship.

The Yamato has remained in Japanese imagination, though, most notably in the long-running anime Uchu Senkan Yamato / Space Battleship Yamato / "Star Blazers".

> You’ll of course be spending years and years practicing programming

You can't just 'of course' this! I mean, you can, but that's the whole point. If you, or anyone reading this enough cares enough about being a great programmer, you wouldn't be on this site in the first place. Which is fine, I enjoy wasting time on here as much as anyone. But the people who are actually really good at programming? They're not reading blogs about ego. They're not writing blogs about ego. They're programming.

Look at what Fabrice Bellard has accomplished in the last 20 or so years: https://bellard.org/ . QEMU, FFMPEG. I will never even be close to the level that he is. I'm much closer in relative skill to the person who just wrote their first hello world yesterday, and I've been programming for 15 years or so. And that's totally fine with me. Programming is not my only interest in life.

For the blog author, it seems that they're searching for a reason that they're not as good at programming as they think should be. I mean, he's already a Staff Engineer at Circle CI. He's not someone who's been programming for a year. It's very possible that's he pretty close to being as good as he'll ever be. Sure, he'll keep improving, but he'll never be Fabrice Bellard. If he was, he already would be and wouldn't be writing a blog about why he's not.

So what I would say to him is: that's fine! Life is not just programming. "The Second Truth is that this suffering is caused by selfish craving and personal desire." You wrote an article about how your ego gets in the way of you becoming a better programmer, but its your ego that makes you want to be a better programmer in the first place!
This sounds great! Expanding on this a little:

Seems like you'd need a universal CLI tool usage traverser and parser to figure out what's possible.
Likely this would produce a decision tree of sorts with different modes and options excluding or including new options.
We'd need a way to show all this, maybe nested tabs for modes and check boxes and other inputs at each appropriate level.

Layer on this a way to optimize for the most common cases like you said.
Further, if this becomes popular, CLI tools could emit some sort of standard description language that would optionally customize the GUI.
The GUI's output should be both the text command it constructed and the ability to run that command directly.

More future steps would be a way to reason about multiple commands, pipes, and other combinators.

Adding this to my side projects backlog. Thanks for the idea!

Inspecting your PC's traffic from a sniffer on your PC to find a rootkit seems like a fool's errand.

If something has driver / kernel level privileges it can trivially hide such traffic from any sniffer you have running.
Macs only have ~10% market-share overall, so this just tells us that Mac users are (very roughly) 50% less likely to play games than PC users. That's certainly a drop, but not such a catastrophic one.

And, Apple's asinine decisions around OpenGL don't tell us anything about what users actually want.
Not OP but I can speak with a small example from my previous field - coral reef ecology. It used to be standard to collect video footage and hand annotate small portions of the footage to draw up some statistics about the reef progression. Today we can collect the footage and let ml annotate the entirety of it to get much more accurate and precise statistics about the progression/recession. Not only that but we can do that on an organism basis and also see do highly local analyses. This wasn’t possible 10 years ago. I think the applications for ML outside of consumer tech are far larger than within but everyone here seems focused on that for some reason.

If it contains a web browser or can play back/view any sort of media files they're potentially exploitable. So that system must already be developed in a way that it can't compromise the safety-critical parts of the car network anyway. So it's not (or shouldn't) imposing much of an extra burden on the manufacturer unless they have cut corners on security in the first place.

> At first glance, I think I agree with Judge Lynch. Its great that these protections extend to more people, but I think the argument is tenuous. A gay man and a straight man have the same sex, so discrimination against the gay man is not really based on sex, but on sexual orientation.

“Sexual orientation” is just the combination of your sex with the sex to which you are attracted. (And, of course, that's not the issue with transgender discrimination, anyway.) But, both sexual orientation discrimination (because sexual orientation is your sex + the sex of your preferred partner) and transgender discrimination (your sex plus you gender identity) are clearly discrimination based on sex:

A woman who is attracted to women is given adverse employment treatment not given to a woman who is attracted to men.

A man who is attracted to men is given adverse employment treatment not given to a man who is attracted to women.

A biological male who identifies with (or expresses stereotypical traits of) the feminine gender is given adverse employment consequences not given to a biological female who identifies with (or exhibits stereotypical traits of) the feminine gender.

A biological female who identifies with (or expresses stereotypical traits of) the masculine gender is given adverse employment consequences not given to a biological male who identifies with (or exhibits stereotypical traits of) the masculine gender.

In all four cases, the difference on which adverse treatment is conditioned is the target’s sex, QED, each practice is sex discrimination.

Hiding behind a word other than sex which means “the relation between the target’s sex and some other factor” doesn't change that the differentiating factor is sex.

I expect Apple to do something smarter, e.g. extend the ARM instruction set with operations that speed up x86 emulation.

For example, emulation of x86 on ARM is expensive due to subtle differences in memory model. Why not make an ARM chip that can operate with x86's memory model?

Get 4 or 6 of these, hook it up to a sled with wheels, and you have your own robotic dogsledding team.
a human porter can carry 30lbs and hike through any mountain trails that this robot can - it'd be a lot cheaper to hire some people than to buy a $70k robot. people can also operate for longer than 90 minutes.

the helicopters are necessary because they need to carry large loads that can't be divided up, which a robot with a 30lb capacity can't help with.
So now there are new slightly faster processors for three Ryzen 3000 processors, two of them were always a bad deal so far and that won't change with a few MHz more. A "faster" 3900X is nice of course, the 3900X was already nice, but without the cooler this is effectively a big price increase for virtually no gain. All while making AMDs sku lineup more confusing. What an unnecessary release.

I hope that benchmarks prove me wrong here, but I doubt it.

The estimates for the number of stars in the galaxy continues to grow. Just a few years I remember reading 100 billion stars, then it became 200 billion. And in this article it's 400 billion. And supposedly there are hundreds of billions of galaxies. One of the things I don't get is why did the universe have to be so big and unfathomable and spectacular? If it isn't teeming with life, feels like it's essentially one spectacular wasteland. Or alternatively, perhaps we are in a simulation?
Cool! But if you want to go still lower level, maybe you could implement the basics of HTTP by reading and writing to the socket.

Hi, OP here. I started working on recommender systems in 2016 during my undergrad, specifically doing music recommendation (I was dissatisfied with the quality of Pandora/Spotify recommendations). I spent about five months in 2019 trying to make a music startup based on that. However, during that time I realized that there would probably be more value in having a really good general-purpose/cross-domain recommender system. i.e. if you're looking for something specific, use Google, and if you're not looking for something specific, use Findka. That's the vision anyway.[1][2]

More specifically, the benefits I see from cross-domain recommendation are:

- More data per user => better recommendations.

- More potential users => (eventually) better recommendations. For example, to get users for a podcast recommender, you have to find people who like podcasts above a certain threshold. With Findka, anyone who's interested in getting recommendations for at least one content type is a potential user. (And even people who aren't above that threshold for podcasts might appreciate an occasional podcast recommendation).

- Lots of potential applications. I'm particularly interested with trying to use Findka for social networking (opt-in of course). Data from Findka could be useful for dating, job opportunities, forming online communities, etc. This is more long-term, but I also think Findka data could be useful for search.[3]

The algorithm currently is dead simple. Just collaborative filtering without explicitly taking into account content type. So it's naively cross-domain. Since the data set is still small, there's no need for matrix factorization. I recompute the whole matrix every hour and store it in memory. See [4] for the implementation (it only took 30 LOC). That's a little out-of-date but the general approach hasn't changed.

For the tech stack, I'm using a Clojure web framework + deployment solution that I made.[5] It's like a self-hosted version of Firebase (I'm running it on DigitalOcean).

Our ears are incredibly sensitive sensors and I think attributing warmth to soft clipping and dampening the top end is not a complete picture.

Also warmth is just a single quality. I have a pair of very accurate “cold” headphones that I prefer for music and a pair of “warm” headphones for electronic music and gaming.

Past the headphones, it is not so much warmth as it is space in the sound for me. My headphone amplifier sounds effortless and that’s the best way I can describe the quality of what I hear.
The "Race to the bottom" will be ongoing for a long time. The nice thing about manufacturing for a middle-income economy is precisely its role as a stepping point to far higher productivity in services and high-skill sectors - this means that many developing economies will naturally tend to become manufacturing-intensive over time, even beyond the East- and South-East Asian countries that most observers focus on at the moment. The U.S. is supposed to be well beyond that point already.
I hope some day doing something trivial using rust will no longer warrant a hacker news post to promote a startup.
