Access to nature from SF does require that you actually take advantage of it. There are probably a lot of young tech folk (among others) in SF who don't own a car and tend to mostly do urban stuff. In practice, if you need to rent transportation or depend on friends every time you want to go more than a few miles, you're probably not going to do it.

And at that point, you lose a lot of what makes SF appealing versus other cities.

As for weather, some people do value not having snow or typical summer heat/humidity (or both). But SF isn't the only place with a nice climate (and, for many, SF is gray and foggy relative to even other nearby California options).

Big IT contracts and their VAR doing the actual selling.

[edit]We bought our new iSeries (Power9-based) through a VAR this year with an IBM rep helping us with what we actually needed. It was a bit of a drawn-out experience, but overall, I wasn't displeased. It was easier than dealing with some PC vendors (looking at you Dell and HP). I would imagine it will be another 15 years before we have to buy another one.[/edit]
In xi, there are two issues. One is the cost of the CRDT representation, the other is whether it accurately represents what you're trying to do. Classical implementations of CRDT use a heavyweight node per character in the text, each with its own unique and permanent id. In my research in xi, it became clear to me that more compressed representations are possible, and the xi CRDT is one such: it is an "op" object per edit, but the string itself is just a string.

Lately there has been other work pursuing those compressed representations: Chronofold, I think Martin Kleppmann's automerge has some memory-efficiency work, and there are others.

But at least in the context of xi, this is not where things went wrong. As I've written about (and the author was kind enough to link), it's because CRDT merges aren't a good fit for the problems a code editor is trying to solve, particularly when the "collaborators" are automated processes such as language servers.

In human collaborative editing, it's important to preserve text that's being entered, even in the face of conflict. But when a peer is an automated service, it's much better to drop the edit on the floor and recompute. I'm simplifying here, as it depends on the service - some are history-insensitive, some are sensitive to a small window of history (in the case of automatically inserting indentation, etc), and (speculative) other services may be sensitive to more history.

In addition, the CRDT constrains the data model considerably. In other words, it's unfortunately not a clean abstraction where you can easily add higher level layers on top of the CRDT, but you always have to design those with the CRDT in mind (ie, everything still has to be a monotonic semi-lattice).

So, as with everything else, it's a tradeoff, and it's a question of weighing the pros and cons. I'm glad to see work being done to improve CRDT, but even with a very efficient representation and solid algorithms, the problems with CRDT would be enough for me not to use them in a code editor.

The TSDB is now called 'jd'[0] FWIIW. Funny, I've been using J on and off since then and I'm still not sure if it's genius or insane. It, along with the other APLs, is definitely its own thing, just as much as Lisp is (my previous favorite weird language was Yann LeCun and Leon Bottou's "Lush,"[1] which I continue to think is an amazing design). Once you get a little bit proficient at it, you finally realize what an actually high level programming language could be.

I think it's an idea whose time has come in some ways: hardware is more array-like than ever. J has evolved a lot from 806 to the present 902 beta; lots of performance increases from moving away from the single core paradigm (where it excelled anyway). Lots more to unlock there as well, and some interesting J-based startups brewing[2]. I also think it's one of the best user communities I know of.

Oh yeah, Art's new language Shakti[3] should probably be mentioned. Lots of people excited about this.

Sorry, I was replying to this:

> The counter argument would be that git is the poster-child of poor UX, which could be blamed on the fact that it exposes too much of its internal data structure and general inner-workings to the user.

I agree with you that the UI is inconsistent, however I don't agree that it's the result of git exposing too much of the internal data structure.
From the article, it doesn't sound _too_ hard to not be a customer of any of the companies (and I was Google-free for a long while until I had to use an Android for work purposes); what is difficult is not interacting with any customers of these companies in addition to not interacting with the companies themselves. This person didn't use Signal, for instance, because it is hosted on AWS. That's like saying you'll stop visiting shops that have Verizon Business internet or similar, which to me seems very different from just trying to cut Verizon out of your life.

The point is that Amazon's listings are overwhelmed by cheap / no-brand items. As a consumer it's basically impossible to know what items in a category are of reasonable quality or not. My guess is that the eventual competitor who disrupts Amazon will figure out a way to curate listings to make it possible for customers to buy something in a category with confidence that it'll work to stated spec.
I think its important to note though, that its generally advised against to practice meditation outside of establishing a foundation in virtue/morality. Not that that is stopping anyone (past self included). I would argue that the religious texts are extremely important in grounding the meditation practice in that way. It's very easy to ascribe all kinds of super-natural ideas and beliefs to the stages of insight and the 'ego-death' at the end of those. In the end, its still you, with your perspective, your ideas, your wrongs and rights. Accepting that is the true jewel, in my eyes.
I'd like to see this broken down by profession. Lying seems to be part of the job in many.
why? I have no data either, but I’mnot seeing how you’re connecting the two. One is about personal values (saying the truth) the other one you’re concerned about is how to question the outside world. Two completely different things IMO (and things I’m currently trying to teach my 4yo kid)
True, in some regions this is not allowed. It was mainly for the purpose of blocking stolen IMEIs though which is not really a thing anymore (since Apple/Google's activation lock is so good there's no more need).

Also, for avoiding tracking purposes there is really no point in changing your IMEI. There's many other ways they can track you. In fact I don't see any real reason to do it at all.

There are many reasons why China catches heat for this.

China is big so when it does things like this it tends to have a larger impact than other countries' practices. Also it has been growing very fast, and we tend to notice things that are changing. China's assertiveness on the world stage also causes anxiety which has a halo effect on China's other actions/policies.

We're seeing a lot of articles starting to praise the use of psychedelics. This seems a bit dangerous - these are serious drugs that can potentially mess you up - I'm not saying that they shouldn't be used, but it would be nice if interested people (people who are going to try them anyway) could go somewhere and have some medical/therapeutic guidance through their experience. It would be so much safer.

Lying is actually a pretty well known psychological milestone, since deception requires that you hold two concepts in your head at once. Trying to stop that completely is a fool’s errand.

Do you have any evidence to back up the assertion that lying too much at 4/5 is how one becomes a pathological liar?

Don’t take the following too seriously, but studies might preselect for liars.

You usually need to meet certain criteria to be eligible and participants may fudge their answers to participate. I’ve done food testing on and off through the years and you always need to answer some questions beforehand to determine eligibility. If you gave a “wrong” answer, the survey-asker would say something like “Are you sure?”, prompting you to pick the other choice that made you eligible for the study. Or even without prompting, if I’m trying to get paid to taste bubblegum and they ask how often you have bubblegum, I’m more likely to inflate my reported frequency compared to my actual frequency of gum chewing.

I think it depends on the policies set by each company as to whether this practice is helpful or hurtful. If done right, CI/CD is great.

My company has embraced CI/CD. Unfortunately, they have created metrics around it. In some instances this has created headaches because managers want us to do stuff to make the metrics look good. I've seen the same thing with other practices in our company, such as the story points in Agile.

I read a book on Zen Buddhism once about 20 years ago and it made sense to me. I've never read or practiced anything related since which makes me a constant practitioner in a way. Maybe i'm blessed or cursed but, to me, the endless pursuit of meditation/mindfulness is the same as the endless pursuit of anything else.
I can imagine there are professions where the threshold for lies to count as pathological would be higher than others.

If you barely talk, if the few things you say are all lies, that's pretty serious. But for people who talk a lot, like politicians, salesmen, managers, etc, 10 lies per day doesn't sound very high at all.
I lurk the OpenBSD mailing lists and while Theo can definitely be abrasive, I think that it's really that he won't suffer fools lightly.

What seems to be the least tolerated are "ideas people". If you come in and suggest that it'd be lovely to port OpenBSD to this new SOC, or that someone should write new Bluetooth support, or what have you – that's when the teeth come out.

But conversely, if you bring a patch the OpenBSD community seems to be very welcoming. They definitely value you putting in the work, not just talking about it.
You mean that's business talk _and_ lies.
I dunno, when I moved from Ireland to London, pretty much everything except rent and travel was much, much cheaper.

Glad you asked!

I recently did a bunch of tests to see what the "ultimate bottlenecks" are for basic web applications. Think latency to the database and AES256 throughput.

Some rough numbers:

- Local latency to SQL Server from ASP.NET is about 150 μs, or about 6000 synchronous queries per second, max.

- Even with SR-IOV and Mellanox adapters, that rises to 250 μs if a physical network hop is involved.

- Typical networks have a latency floor around 500-600 μs, and it's not uncommon to see 1.3 ms VM-to-VM. Now we're down to 800 queries per second!

- Similarly, older CPUs struggle to exceed 250 MB/s/core (2 Gbps) for AES256, which is the fundamental limit to HTTPS throughput for a single client.

- Newer CPUs, e.g.: AMD EPYC or any recent Intel Xeon can do about 1 GB/s/core, but I haven't seen any CPUs that significantly exceed that. That's not even 10 Gbps. If you have a high-spec cloud VM with 40 or 50 Gbps NICs, there is no way a single HTTPS stream can saturate that link. You have to parallelise somehow to get the full throughout (or drop encryption.)

- HTTPS accelerators such as F5 BIG IP or Citrix ADC (NetScaler) are actually HTTPS decelerators for individual users, because even hardware models with SSL offload cards can't keep up with the 1 GB/s from a modern CPU. Their SSL cards are designed for improving the aggregate bandwidth of hundreds of simultaneous streams, and don't do well at all for a single stream, or even a couple of concurrent streams. This matters when "end-to-end encryption" is mandated, because back end connections are often pooled. So you end up with N users being muxed onto just one back-end connection which then becomes the bottleneck.

From this Comment on Reddit

------

The Pine Microsystems becomes Pine Store Limited. Two reasons on such move:

1. Increasing complexity of business compliance and reporting paperwork when operates in California. Since Pine Store primary business is not in California, no interest to keep continue to have such burden.

2. Avoid legal mafia similar to what happens to Gnome on Q4 last year. Unfortunately, there are a lot of such legal mafias operate in State.

This move is not due to financial or politic reason. Pine Store Limited locates in Malaysia and Hong Kong.

Given the state of relations with HK and the US now this may makes things more complex for them as well
Kids are always smarter than we think, they can perceive adults lying they just don't always know what to do with that information. I feel the kinder thing is to help understand the concepts of sharing information and why people might lie or withhold.
Microsoft is claiming to be able to tell if a file is signed, and warn if it is not. They found out 2 years ago that this functionality has a problem. If they turned around and released a report saying they know it doesn't work for jar files, then they shouldn't be liable, but they didn't do that.
I don't see how that's any faster or cheaper. All stenographers are is fast typists. So I honestly don't even know if you're describing a distinct process.

There are literally "Steno Masks," a sound-dampening mask that fits over your lower face that you can use to repeat whats being said, clearly and quietly, to transcription software on your computer (along with formatting notes and the identities of speakers.) Stenographers aren't required to use a stenotype, they're required to produce an accurate transcript of the proceedings, and to be able to read back what was recently said. If you come up with a system that does that more efficiently, put it into action and take the profit.

The methods used are defined by their efficiency. This is a thread about discussing people who can type faster and more accurately than one would imagine possible, and easily better than current machine performance.

San Francisco is a very small city, but it is a city nonetheless which puts it on the list of places in the US where you can live (and I mean truly live) without a car, even before the age of Uber/Lyft. (Unsurprisingly, the other places on that list are also cities.)

Due to tech money and location, it occupies a weird place in the various lists of world's cities. It is just tiny a small city compared to other cities in the world, and geography and politics aren't about to let that change any time soon.
What about the lies we tell ourselves?
I've heard good things about Amazon's GreenGrass IOT platform?
I had a friend in college who did this, lying frequently about even inconsequential things. I asked him about it, and he said that he rarely lied to get an obvious direct advantage over someone like we imagine. Rather, he mostly just enjoyed knowing that other people were operating under false info, very much like dramatic irony except in real life.

It was weird, and I don't think it served him well in the long run. However, his girlfriends were consistently more beautiful than you'd expect for his looks/personality/wealth.

A lot of those animals that became taboo to eat in the West was due to industrialization making pork, beef, and poultry cheaper than other meats and driving them out of the market, and cultural attitudes following afterwards to make them taboo. The "west" ate plenty of strange meats at the dawn of the industrial revolution. Hot dogs sausages often had dog meat in them while they were native to Germany, and you could still find horse and dog meat sold in the early 1900s.

Finally a truthful comment. Everybody goes there to make money, that's it. There's nothing wrong with that, so why do people still try to pretend that isn't the reason when out of view of their employers?
Yea, "I'm fine" when you're really not, isn't a lie because there's no intent to deceive. No one actually expects you to tell you how you truly are when they ask "How are you?". So if anything, the initial question is more the lie because it implies concern for the person being asked when it's really just a salutation.
