I think the developers are really smart about those design choices. Pollution and alien relations are not something you can control in the game. They are just an effect of playing the game. You are focused of producing more stuff in order to unlock tools to allow you to produce even more stuff.

If you could somehow manage the pollution levels, the ecological message would be weaker. It would mean that you can still increase your production as much as you like and still keep the planet peaceful and green. In factorio the only way to keep a peaceful environment is not to play. If you want to launch a rocket, you will need to destroy forest and alien nests.

The game commentary about pollution & colonialism is stronger because those elements are inevitable. Want to expand to get this new iron mine? First equip a flamethrower and burn down the area.
It's just a neat way of porting iOS code to native mac apps, to expedite development.

It isn't an iOS emulator or anything cheap like that.
" I don't see a reason to add more complexity to something that is working fine for my needs" valid point though.

I would do it due to:
- keeping 'meantime to recovery' low due to having my configs in git -> fast recovery
- using something like ansible for your small case to have it in git (instead of a shellscript) -> backup
- perhaps a jenkins pipeline with testing the config before applying it automatically -> for quality
- automatisation for having fun with it, seeing what is out there besides ssh and manuel editing

At the end of the day, i assume that this automatisated process is also less dependend from myself. So i'm not sure who is doing things when you are on holiday or sick.

I'm now having a small k8s cluster at home. I have never had anything which allows me to have my whole setup in git so easy with autohealing, domain management and high availability.

A circle given the same height provides a smaller pointer target than a square. The stoplight was also a downgrade over the shapes, positioning and functionality of the Mac OS 9 window controls. Stickies still uses these controls by the way, if you want to see what it is like. Close is all the way over on the left and its a box, I would prefer an X ("batsu"), but it's a box. WindowShade-style minimize is all the way over on the right, and Zoom, well it's the triangle but its been degraded in functionality. At this point it's maximize and revert, provided you don't resize it from its maximized state.

Re: Zoom. Maybe you already know this, but just in case you don't, double click the titlebar. Even works in Safari, although there's less "titlebar" to work with. If you already know all that, well, maybe it will help someone else reading through the thread.

That said I did use BetterTouchTool to modify its behavior because I too was frustrated with changing functional behavior and I recently bought a three button mouse to use in addition to my other input methods, but I decided to make it default Zoom, but middle click Full Screen.

You can also set a keyboard shortcut if you like in the Keyboard settings (no third party software required) within System Preferences. Just go to App Shortcuts, All Applications, add a shortcut, for the Menu Title type Zoom and then just record your shortcut.
Licensing seems like a solution to problems like this but the cure would be worse than the disease. Control over the licensing body would guarantee control over information, so it would become a prize to be fought for and the whole thing would be politicized. The best case scenario is we end up with the same mess we have now. Worst case is one side captures control and now their side gets to be the only "legitimate" one.

Same problem with so-called fact-checking. It's politicized, which means it adds nothing over the chaotic political debate we already have, except a false veneer of objectivity.

Since the 1920s actually, for the US.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_number#United_States

It’s not really the same. One person is a pseudonymous blogger who requested to keep their pseudonimity. The other is a reporter for the best known newspaper in the world. But I agree it’s a bad look, I have removed the comment.
This is a very smart and calculated move on his behalf.

One that is surely unexpected by the scumbag reporter. I predict the reporter will be forced to back off, he'll keep his job and go on shitting on other people's lives for a living, but SSC gets to keeps his privacy, for a while longer.
It is definitely a custom limited to some particular countries.

Wikipedia: The use of alphanumeric codes for exchanges was abandoned in Europe when international direct dialing was introduced in the 1960s, because, for example, dialing VIC 8900 on a Danish telephone would result in a different number to dialling it on a British telephone. At the same time letters were no longer placed on the dials of new telephones.
We had gender roles because it was the most effective way to survive and raise a family. The cost was that women were assigned rather basic responsibilities. Because tech and services have evolved families can outsource some of the chors done by women in the past like cooking, cleaning. In the case of making babies the the technology is still in development but we will get there. Artificial wombs will be an option in the next decades. Still the baby requires for the normal emotional development close contact with the mother. In the end the fundamental role of the mother to bond with the baby cannot be outsourced and I do not think that's desirable. Will there always be differences between men and women in the workplace? I think the answer to the question is yes, at least for women who chose to raise a family.

Fundamentaly that is a life choice. But now with more freedom for women there is more pressure for them to achieve.

Creating a company is hard, very hard. Raising a kid at the same time I believe it requires super human effort. I profoundly respect the author, she is a real fighter. But few women when given the choice would choose to do what she did. Feeding a baby in the car while doing research seems far from desirable for most women I presume. Then the question is why she did it? I will be interested to know her view, but I presume she really cared about her company and it was beyond money.

This is the price to pay for creating a company, Musk works crazy hours to keep his two companies alive. Female founders with a kid are under the same pressure. There is nothing we can do here to make it easier: the world of businesses is a race, a competition, nobody cares about you're personal problems: a kid, cancer, etc.

> I want to see a world where men and women, who make up equal halves of humanity, also make up equal halves of leadership. When that happens, I wholeheartedly believe that the entire world will benefit.

The push towards equality of outcomes is a dangerous ones as it creates expectations that are not realistic to be met. Given our biological makeup and the roles that derive from that I believe this is the not realistic. While I totally agree that women who want to lead and are willing to make the sacrifices required are making the world a better place, it is not for everyone and we should accept and respect that.
I think enough time has passed that we're collectively forgetting the good reasons why so many moved from server side rendering, which I would say it was mostly the difficulty in make complex uis. Then it became a trend, now going old school seems appealing.

Anyway in my particular case if I had any project that was a good fit for server side rendering I would probably now go with php and some libraries but probably no framework. I've been looking at some "weirdly coded 90's style php projects". An while the code is a terrible mess there's also the magic that I can read everything that's happening pretty quickly because it's just there or in a file next to it and not hidden in a library and a sub-library with calls to functions that I never seen before.
This is much more of a thing in the United States than elsewhere in the world.

>In my experience though projects tend to start in a single crate, without great attention to their internal dependency graph, and once compilation time becomes an issue, they have already created a spaghetti dependency graph that is difficult to refactor into smaller crates.

This happened to me too. One important problem to overcome is the orphan rule. This means: you can only implement a trait you own or for a type you own. If both the type and the trait are not in your crate, you are out of luck.

So my first attempt failed utterly. It was very disappointing. You see, by splitting the project in different crates I put one type and one trait in different crates.

After thinking about this problem for a few weeks I accepted that I needed to write wrappers, so called newtypes. But this hurt a lot. I managed to abstract away a lot of the boilerplate by writing macros but still am not very happy about the complexity.

Growing pains.
This might be a good data analysis play- run it and then sell your research to agents, venues, casting agents and booking agencies.
Scott Alexander may not have been the original source, but he is a definitely _a_ source as it seems he was in touch with the reporter. The reporter has an undeniable ethical duty to decide whether to publish his full name after he raises concerns about his safety.

I see limited to no news value in publishing his name and substantial risk of harm, but I'm a frequent reader and admirer of the blog.
Why is Scott's real name even relevant to the article? He has good reason not to want it published, and his real name is of no interest to most readers given that his entire public online presence is in the name "Scott Alexander". Knowing that Lewis Carroll was really called Charles Dodgson may be a piece of trivia that makes you win a pub quiz one day, and it may be of niche interest to someone who reads one of his mathematical papers and realises that the author is the same as the author of Alice, but Scott's real name won't even win you a pub quiz and has similarly niche publications that are not of remotely general interest.

* hires all candidates who pass the coding interview

I agree on this one in particular. It is quite transparently a process that has morphed into a way to reject older candidates. The older you are (relative to a fresh college graduate), the harder it becomes to jump through the various algorithmic hoops (even if you studied Computer Science in college). That's exactly what the majority of the large tech companies want --- hire large numbers of folks who have no life outside of work so that they can work them more / pay them less.

You can always claim 'but he/she did not make the cut' and appear impartial, while selecting for young kids just out of school. It would have been interesting to see how this would have affected fall hiring, but for the confounding effect of the recession.
I would like to know who the journalist is. Not so they can be threatened or put in danger. But so their reputation can take a hit. Part of the reason people do these things is because they can get away with it without any consequences.
I feel it already has, with useless suggestions from "alternativeto"-stuff coming up. Even PH spams this.
I just wanted to say: Derek Banas
I don't think, given Scott's recent defense of Steve Hsu, that he'd really want people fired for doing ill-advised things, even if they could be reasonably construed as dangerous, unless harm was demonstrated. It's still disappointing that the journalist is making this choice.
You are aware that you will (most likely) lose all those pretty amazing optimisations that you tend to rely on if you develop software that is a bit more “sophisticated” (e.g., parallel programming leveraging IPP etc.). Can’t wait to see how fast that translation layer will be for my FFTs that have been super optimised for Intel chips.

I wonder: when I observed 20+% performance loss for high compute intensive scientific tasks Intel vs. AMD because I relied on IPP - how much performance loss will we see for the x86 to Arm?

For your average Text application you may not care about performance loss. But I bet you, that for video, image editing, science etc. you are easily 20+% worse off than before.

So what exactly is the benefit for the customer or the developer community?

So I can play Angry birds on my Mac?

Part of the reason people do things like what the journalist did is because they can do so without facing any consequences. There should be disincentives for that kind of behavior.

I'm not going to defend Apple's work on this front, it's just they decided to consolidate the title bar and toolbar to free up some vertical screen real estate pressure and they're leaning hard on these slide animations to hide some of the UI elements so as to not overload the toolbar/titlebar thing. That to me looks like a botched attempt to make it more space efficient, although I do at least like the bit with the search bar.

John Siracusa has a different theory though, and having had time to go through and examine to changes in the HIG in more detail, I'm inclined to agree. The spacing and layout and sizing appears to make Mac OS XI more "touchable", i.e. we should expect Macs with touch screens at some point.

Its entirely down to AR.

Facebook need a sub CM accurate, self-updating, visual positioning map. Its the only practical way that "multiplayer" AR can work. (in fact any kind of useful AR)

SLAM only gets you so far (as we've seen with google and apple) as its only capable of tracking relative movements (if you have two phones, both their coordinate systems will be relative to their starting point, making accurate placing of assets impractical )

So what does mapillary do that helps?

1) the real time segmentation on a mobile phone is fucking spectacular, compare the speed and robustness to FB's panopticon, it blows everything out of the water

2) the geolocation of random imagery allows facebook to build out a sparse pointcloud suitable for generating cityscale visual positioning.

3) the anonymisation pipeline they have is also very good.
> The general pattern of pretending everything is ok is one of my least favorite things about tech culture.

This goes way beyond tech. It is permeating the business world in general and society at large as well. "How are you? Fine!" -> I'm stable and we can do business.

VS: "How are you? Well, to be honest I'm having a lousy day, I've been ill for the last three weeks and three of my customers have left." -> This customer moves somewhere else as well. Besides the fact that most people really aren't all that interested in how you feel, they simply exchange these words as some kind of ritual formula.

People are pretending things are better than they are all the time because society sees anything less as weakness and weakness will result in things getting even worse for the person displaying that weakness. We are continuously conditioning each other to pretend that things are better than they really are.

> This usage predates mobile phones

Indeed -- it dates back to the 1920s. At that time, phone numbers in the US started to be formed from a 2-letter exchange code followed by 5 (or sometimes 4) digits. For instance, "PEnnsylvania 6-5000" (dialled 736-5000) was the number of the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York City, and also the title of a 1940 hit song.
