Honestly, back when my PSU died I just did that. Beyond the lack of video decoding support for modern codecs it was perfectly acceptable as a backup machine.
It's difficult (for values that soon reduce to impossible) to get press accreditation as an independent journalist.

There are plenty of scrappy little online micronewspapers now, usually with an evident political slant, and some of them do real investigative journalism.

But there's no chance they'll get the direct access to the political system their mainstream cousins do.

It's also incredibly easy to astroturf fake news at that level, so not all of those sites are reliable.

The point about the MSM is that they're mass media with a huge subscriber/reader base. That's what gives them their leverage.

Journalism is much less influential without that.
I’m not trying to dox the author, but I just want to point out that he blogged about his own name on SCC(in 2019 no less), which is quite counterproductive if he wanted his last name private.

Edit: The linked blog post was still live prior to the site takedown, so I’m assuming it’s acceptable to link to an archive of it.
For the record it is worth mentioning that there is a major update pending for that library that handles some of the specific things outlined in the post I referenced above, however, even in its current iteration I think it is a much more sensible default to reach for than say React & Redux would be for a large number of applications.

There is a second library that they have used along side that for handling all of the app specific JavaScript here as well https://stimulusjs.org/

Communication Crowd Control
The reason is that it creates completely unexpected bugs, like deadlocks.

Static function coloring based in asyncronicity is a feature not a bug.

Making it "dynamic" is like saying:
"Yeah we've decided that if you just treat an Option as a value, we will let you do it, and we'll also treat every Option boxing inside your map as a noop."
Those expectations are reasonable when you are a blogger with little to no following. But at some point on the fame/popularity spectrum, those expectations become rather foolish.

At the point where the NY Times is reaching out to write an article about you, I think you have likely crossed that threshold. Scott's best move would have been to refuse an interview in the hopes that it would kill the story. But even that might not have mattered. If your goal is to be both famous/influential and pseudonymous, you probably need to work a little harder to protect your anonymity.

That's basically what Microsoft did with ARM on Windows and I'm sure Apple will take advantage of this opportunity.

I think I replied to one of their daily roundups and asked for them to cancel it. If they can't even filter out deranged calls for violence from their opinion pages, I'm not going to pay them to publish anything.
So Scott the psychiatrist's reputation can take a hit? If Scott Alexander writes shitty stuff, Scott Alexander's name will take a hit. And there's nothing wrong with that, because his future work will also be published under that name. But what's the rationale for nuking Scott the psychiatrist? (who will also be nuked even if his patients see nothing wrong with his blog. Patient-psychiatrist interactions are supposed to be tightly controlled)
The link hasn't changed. The submitted title was "NYT threatens to dox blogger who often gets death threats. He deletes his blog", which broke the site guideline against editorializing, so we changed it.

They aren't very good. A lot of the time they are rock hard and if you let them rippen they don't turn out very good. Just used to Taiwan where it's always nice and soft and yummy.
FWIW the publisher/top editor of NYTimes changed in 2017 and Arthur Ochs Sulzberger's [1] stepped down letting his son AG Sulzberger take over [2]. This is around the time it started becoming really clickbaity and 24/7 news channel level intentionally misrepresenting or spinning stories for reactions.

I believe his father took on a more old school approach to keeping the news as neutral as possible, while still having a bit of your usual slant.

I read NYTimes daily for a decade and it's sad to see it decline as it has. I understand now just how much effort that must take, especially in the age of social media. I respect any news org that avoids the pull and pushes back on that sort of thing. But they are increasingly rare.

What is your favorite performance management process for engineers?
I started wondering if there are any well functioning performance management processes for engineers. In my startup we started using OKRs for the whole team which I find to not be very useful for our engineers as well as very time intensive. This could be because we are using them wrong.
In my opinion a well functioning performance management process should satisfy the following: 1) Non-subjective 2) Motivating 3) Tie in to companies goals 4) Not be too burdensome to manage

I'm also super interested to hear how people are connecting performance management and the general process of the engineering team (insert agile flavor of choice here).
You can easily find Scott's last name in multiple places. He makes a point though, being able to dig out his last name is very different from publishing it in the New York Times.
Is there any way to verify that this is the person? Obviously, it would be wrong to pin the blame on the wrong person.
Just for the record, orphan instances, although possible in Haskell, are regarded as a big problem and something that should be avoided as much as possible. The problem being, you can declare an orphan instance yourself, later discover you need another library, only to discover it implements the orphan instance as well, preventing compilation. Worst case scenario is that the two implementations are semantically different and you no longer have any idea what your code should do.

(Orphan instances in apps are horrible, orphan instances in libraries run the risk of making your whole library unusable.)

As useful as they sometimes are, I can't help feeling Rust made the right call here.
Perhaps the current situation is completely okay? Some people sacrifice their leisure to work for something they care about. These tend to be men because of heightened competition. Who are you to dictate their life to satisfy your statistical egalitarianism? This is just bullying.

I want to build a shed, I approximate human height as 7 feet because it's a nice even number. I want some number of beams equally spaced nailed onto the posts, I choose 4 posts because 3 and 4 are numbers people default to. 4 beams mean 3 spaces, 7/3=7x4 = 28inches. I nail the beams on every 28 inches.

Can we agree that equally spacing 4 of something is a common operation? The metric example would be, 2 meters, divided by 3 = 0.333x2m = 0.666m But look at your tape measure and see which measurement is marked more promimently, an arbitrary centimeter precision measurement or an integer number of inches.
Maybe, revealing the true (or full) name is seen as a journalistic contribution? (As in "I'm not just reporting on what is there for everyone to see, I also did some actual research. See, here's the real name nobody was meant to know." – Obviously, this would be more proof of an issue with professional self-esteem, rather than of anything else.)
It baffles me when people trust the "news", _especially_ if they only consume news within their own little bubble. I was interviewed a couple of times on technological topics (once by a NYT journalist), and was once in the middle of events that were reported on, so I knew what actually happened. In all three cases what was printed was total clickbait horseshit that had nothing to do with reality. So if a journalist wants to talk to me now, I will only do it if it generates clickbait horseshit that's good for me somehow.
Jeong worked for Vice at the time and then the NYT hired her correct?
I escaped very low welfare not inequality. I choose welfare over equality any day, equality is an abstract objective that doesn't have any meaningful effect. If inequality is what it takes to increase welfare, then I openly welcome that beneficial status quo.

Independent objective media are the lifeblood of democracy. You literally cannot have a healthy democracy without a strong and independent fourth estate.

For a long time I underestimated how much of a bedrock requirement this is. It's easy to dismiss the media as entertainment at best or noise at worst.

But at best they model fairness, balance, and rationality, and if you have no one doing that in public the quality of discourse soon crashes.

Wow, Vice actually outed her as gay, in China. There’s not much room to fall any lower now, unless they learn how to hack voicemails.
He didn't say releasing his name would be detrimental to those he treats. If there was a serious medical ethical concern here about just his full name he would never have used his real first names to begin with - no medical professional would take such a risk. I'm sure he takes the utmost care with whatever obligations he has as a medical practitioner.
Even the highest core count Threadrippers have decent single thread performance. The Epyc lineup has much lower single core performance and that may make it less useful for desktop workloads.
Archival Identifiers for Digital Files
Wealth is one of the classic ones that journalists like stretching. My mom, a classical musician, got asked about her wages, and after some back and forth (since they varied by the job, of course), she was given this more specific question: "what's the most you made from a gig?" The sum she replied with, of course, made it into the resulting magazine article as an hourly average. Cue the stinkeyes from colleagues.

With this, the recent executive order suspending temporary work visas, the cancellation of Robert Hanson and Steve Hsu, the recession...

Not a great time to be part of the grey tribe right now.
The NYT is mostly benefiting from its reputation from 20+ years ago. It's a shitshow nowadays of extreme opinion pieces and bought articles. Other news papers that didn't have such a stellar reputation already surrendered to the digital age.
I put all developer libraries that I do not want to put into a system path into /DevelopLibs. On Windows I put them in C:\DeveloperLibs. That way I can build supporting libraries of different versions software under there, eg. /DeveloperLibs/abc-1, /DeveloperLibs/abc-2 and test that I have a self-contained executable that runs on my development system without relying on anything in $PATH.

It was a habit on macOS since /Developer used to be where xcode lived until they moved it to /Applications.

It also makes it easy to look in the /DeveloperLibs directory and see if I've got all libraries I need on this machine (I have different development machines under different OSes).

Removing ability to create directories under the root seems draconian for no good reason, other than the iOS-ification of my machine. Not Apple's machine - my machine.

I don't understand why people would ask "why would you want to do that?" because everybody used to defend the ability to only resize windows from the bottom right corner under macOS until a few versions ago, when it became obvious that resizing a window from any edge was a good idea and always had been. But people oddly defended it for decades before that.

What if they now remove the ability to change your desktop wallpaper? Would we all say "but why would you want to change your wallpaper?"? We seem to accept the gradual lock-down of our own machines. Apple users (and I am one) seem to be the most defensive of the company's behaviours and it doesn't make sense - we just have to accept it.

If Microsoft removed the ability to create a directory under C:\, what would the result be? Would we be asking "but why would you want to create a directory under C:\?"? I think not. It'd be the apocalypse.

Seconding this. A threat is only credible if known.
Raw CPU performance, perhaps not. But people definitely do care about a specific set of user-facing, ML-driven functionality - think speech recognition, speech synthesis, realtime video filtering, and so on.

Many of these are only barely possible on "pre-neural" mobile ARM CPUs, and at a significant cost to power consumption. Developing for newer devices is like night and day.
I honestly don't even share what seems to be the majority opinion in the thread. If someone runs a public blog of the size that SSC has, which is not small by any means, and has previously partaken in real world events and his name has already come up I don't think one can argue that there is reasonably expectation of pseudonimity in that regard.
Suppose the National Review were doing a piece on a labor campaign and decided to publish the name of a major employee leader who had maintained his anonymity to protect his job. Would you be so blase about their journalistic ethics? After all, publishing true information about someone even if they don't want it published is just journalism at its finest.
I think I've always had more of a growth mindset, thanks to my parents instilling a "whatever anyone else can do, you can do" attitude in me from a very young age.

Sometimes that belief has turned out to be unfounded, when I've attempted things that were well beyond my capabilities, leading to some painful failures.

Still, none of them have killed me or ruined me, so I still think I'm better for the experience.

After some big failures about 8 years ago I discovered the concept of subconscious emotional healing work, and I have practiced various forms of this work ever since. Some of it has been under the guidance of professional practitioners, and sometimes I've just done it by myself or with friends or my partner.

That work has helped me to overcome a lot of emotional barriers that had held me back from getting better at valuable skills like programming, public speaking, emotional intelligence/empathy, financial management, etc.

I'm not a standout success, but my career and life has steadily improved since I started that emotional work, and has had some major lifts after working through some significant emotional obstacles, so I'm very sure it's been effective.

So my tip would be to search around for books and/or practitioners on subconscious emotional healing/growth work. There are many different forms of it, but try whatever you find and go with what feels right and delivers results.

By the way, it sounds like you already have a growth mindset, in that you already believe you can grow, you're just looking for systems to help you achieve that growth.
They need only write something like "Scott has been called alt-right and anti feminist online" (as I'm sure somewhere they have, once) and then any public defense of the character can be labelled as being racist and toxic.

there are other simple strategies that can be put into place to make any defence of a person harder and most people will look at the surface representation and move on to the next story. Eventually the story about the story will itself fade away.
I think it could be tied to large contracts and ensured availability. I suspect there will be an x86-based Mac available well past the two year transition that was announced.
Then we still have to deal with drivers; I don't see mesa supporting the A12 GPU anytime soon, for instance. I think this is the end of the line for Linux on Macs.
A foot divided by 10 is 1200thou. The nice thing about Imperial is that you can mix bases. And no, dividing by a multiple of 3 is not a "contrived example", it's literally the second prime. A multiple of 3 is by definition more common than a multiple of 10.

You know what also doesn't make sense? The SI Prefix system, where you have redundancies like "A thousand megawatts" instead of just saying "A billion watts". Most languages already have built in prefix systems. In fact, South and East Asian languages space theirs every 10^4 instead of 10^3, making SI prefixes a clusterfuck to use. That's in addition to the fact that the prefixes themselves are chosen haphazardly. The ordering of Micro, Nano, and Pico has no discernible pattern as most people simply know all three words to mean small. Abbreviations such as M, m, and μ, are easily mixed up.

Contrast that to thou and mil, which are easily remembered as abbreviations of thousandth and millionth. It's also easily extendable to an arbitrary precision.
While there are some good recommendations here, I would defintely hire an expert (either in-house or some external contractor) to design and test the final solution.
You HAVE to contact them to cancel, there's no way to do it without talking to a human that I can find.

I live in Vancouver a 30 minute commute from west end downtown in a four bedroom detached house in a reasonably nice neighbourhood and rent it for 1/5 of my salary. And my housing options are quite limited because I have two big dogs.

One data point does not prove or disprove. If you look at average cost of living numbers compared to average developer salaries, my ratio is much closer to the picture those paint than yours.
Those are not journalists. They are outrage-farming ad impression generators.
Factorio as it exists now is the result of a series of deliberate choices, and the point about the bugs being there to force you into weapon production is explicitly stated in the gameplay trailer[0].

You can also compare with Minecraft that has some mobs you can domesticate or otherwise just keep at bay with a simple door.

> Also, I don't think the author played this game where pollution is turned off

As I'm sure you can see yourself, Factorio without bugs and pollution is a very different game, a game that you don't play by default.

If biggest media companies were interested in upholding any ethical standards - the would have been doing that already. Allowing them to create a coalition and giving that coalition any more power would make things only worse.
I was going to say that we could defer to whistleblowers instead but I realized that that term has also been loosely used. That said, it’s not journalists but news organizations that shouldn’t be trusted.
“Doppelgängers Are Real”
I'm not convinced that this is a new problem. Newspapers used to make money, but they have always been owned by someone rich enough to buy a printing press.

What's different now is that people have more access to primary sources. The story says that the boy was 11, because kids in that grade are usually 11 and the reporter was lazy, but the boy was really 12.

In the world where only one organization in the city has a printing press, the boy is now officially 11 years old because nobody who knows any better has the means to contradict it. In the world where your cat can get more hits on YouTube than there are people in New York City, the inaccuracies get publicized left and right, and then, rightly or wrongly, people lose faith in the news media.

This is kind of what we asked for. Give everyone a chance to speak to the world instead of only a privileged few and you get all the stories instead of only the rich man's story.

The problem now is instead of one party telling you a lie you didn't know was a lie, you have two parties saying contrary things and you know they can't both be right but the average person has no way to know who to believe and also doesn't have the capacity to verify everything personally.

So we end up with camps who are absolutely convinced that the other camp is nothing but angry malicious idiots who can't see the truth, even though that's what they think about you.
