Excited to give this a shot next week. Earlier, I had to export all my data to txt/csv and use either matlab, python, gnuplot to visualize it.

It would be great to be able to do this directly within code and conditionally turn it on/off for debugging using some #ifdefs.
If the salary stays the same you effectively increase the minimum wage. I am not sure that this is what people really want.
I don't know how true that is. Of the ones we hear from/about, how many were acting discriminatory 25 years ago? I think we'd have heard from one or two at least, writing confessional blogs or tweetstorms or whatever, but I can't recall reading anything like that.
I just check the dev's Twitter(https://twitter.com/sebovzeoueb) The most recent post(half a month ago) seems like he's experimenting with next prototype of this game! Maybe he's more active on his Discord.

gov't spending on infrastructure and productive assets to create jobs is, to me, a better choice than to mandate a reduction in the amount of work a worker can perform.

Of course, the option to have a 4-day week should be on the table, but this shouldn't be mandated by decree - but instead, a choice the worker and the employer can negotiate and come to a market driven agreement. Otherwise, you'd be building in market inefficiencies, and this leads to wastage.
I've seen studies that indicate that reducing the work week can improve productivity per hour. It can be a net gain, allowing people to be more focused, make fewer mistakes, etc.

Sort of like when you pay people a bit better than average for the industry, thereby fostering improved employee retention and lower turnover. It pays for itself over time and has additional benefits down the line.

This seems like a good idea to me. The 40 hour work week grew out of technology improving productivity such that some people were making good money and then there was higher unemployment to go with that. It was intended to share the wealth, primarily. Now we look back on normal working conditions prior to that and deem them to be inhumane.
Bloomberg wants tools[1], not people who expect to work 40 hours a week and then go have a life. If you're willing to put in that kind of time and can get into a T14 law school[2], then doing biglaw for a few years in a contract or patent practice would open a lot of doors in a lot of places, plus make it very difficult to lose your job to offshoring.

The federal government has an annoying habit of preferring contractors for technical work, both because it's easier than directly paying people what they're worth and because it allows them to claim that the government is smaller than it actually is. Nonetheless, there are pockets of good technical jobs: CIA DS&T; NSA (RF, signals analysis, cryptanalysis); DHS (CISA). You won't be laid off, and there's lots of interesting and useful work; but even if you don't want to go contractor you're likely to run away from the HR departments that seem to view their job as preventing everyone else from doing theirs or the lack of external training opportunities, and at least in the intelligence community agencies are as headquarters-centric as Google and Facebook were ten years ago.

The risk of contracting can vary wildly. Some contracts have a new prime every five years; some go fifty years or more without a changeover. There are definitely contractors and contracts that are low risk, but in general the same rules apply as in SV: stability is being able to find another job, not a guarantee of continuing the same one.

[1]: In the MIT sense.

[2]: Spoiler: if you have a high enough GPA to convince Bloomberg that you'd be a good tool, you can get into a T14 law school.
Very very cool. What does it mean by x, y are any ranges? Do x and y have to be arrays?
It's not just age-ism about people, the same prejudices are also applied against software.

I'm currently #1 in "clean EPE matched" on the Sintel AI benchmark - by re-implementing a 2006 paper. I'm taking advantage of the additional computing power that we have nowadays by brute-forcing what used to be a gradient-descent solver. It appears that people have re-invented the AI wheel many times, but nobody checked to see what was there before deep learning became fashionable.

I see the same issue everywhere. Companies have a large agile web 4.0 team using obscure frameworks that I had never heard of before. But all the stuff that they built would have been included in a $9 WordPress hosting plan.
Full-time job in Germany is also usually that long. But it's an average, not a median.

I’m pretty convinced that some games have made me smarter. It sounds daft, but I remember completing The Witness and felt like I had transcended somehow. Still haven’t found the right way to put it on my CV
Thanks for pointing it out :)
Is it really a parasite if it meets the selected definition of a victim? Calling them parasites makes it sound like they shouldn't qualify but do. The reality is that the system says they should qualify because the designers decided on broad definitions for various reasons. I think the acknowledgement is important because the alternative just seems like a way to dismiss responsibility for their presence and the resources they take up.
It would definitely cause complications, but if it's economically sustainable, shouldn't incentivizing additional hiring be a societal goal? Not only would it reduce unemployment, it would improve work-life balance.

The article didn't provide details, but I'm imagining if workers are capped at four day workweeks, but businesses still operate five to seven days a week, then you can get more coverage without burnout.

Certainly there would be overhead of not just more people to train and coordination between people operating on different four day windows, but frankly, what is management being paid to do if not figure out problems such as this? Already you hear about sectors from medicine to law to investment banking where despite earning high salaries, workers are forced to endure ridiculously long hours and deal with high stress. Why not spread the workload?

Reminds me of job-sharing proposals.

Wisdom is not a function of age. It's not a present you open on your birthday. You may get wiser as years go by, but that doesn't mean you get to be wiser than those around you. There are plenty of people who are wiser and more knowledgeable and insightful than those who were born earlier. There are also plenty of people that in spite of their age they attained very little wisdom to show for. The "ok boomer" meme originated in cases where this particular blend of people started to rant about younger people basing their attacks and criticisms exclusively on their age difference.

Thank you for this.

What I left out of my question is my desire and admiration for automotive sports. It's so strange to me that I have no problem admiring to one day build a track car, and waste tires, fuel, and endless hours of amateur manufacturing effort all in the name of "fun". Sure, I'll learn many skills, but it's primarily for fun.

So I'm left with--how do I resolve the cognitive dissonance that "cars" are okay, but "games" need to be justified? I think there's something deeper going on for myself.

Thank you for taking the time to walk through this.

I thought new cars are just new versions of the same old thing, but after extensive shopping around I bought a (very new to me) 2017 Toyota Highlander Limited. Somehow it seats more, fits more, pulls more, drives so much nicer, has heaps of safety features I actually use, and uses less fuel than my previous vehicle. It does everything I want better than anything I’ve had could.

It’s very much a ‘have your cake and eat it’ thing for me. I had no idea cars could be this nice. I’ve limped older vehicles along for nearly 20 years now, and... I feel weird saying it, but I love this thing, and I would buy new(ish) again. Cars have changed.

Prometheus is as convenient as /streamz in the sense that it has service discovery, so you don't have to do any work to have your endpoints discovered and scraped.

I haven't found anything as good as Monarch and the internal dashboard, though. Monarch always made sense to me, by not doing anything clever. For example, if you want to aggregate across different streams, you have to "align" them first, and the alignment is the operation that defines how to make up missing points. Other systems don't have that alignment step, and it causes me to struggle with everything else I want to do.

As far as I can tell, Prometheus and InfluxDB have implicit alignment, but are never clear on what the rules are. At my last job, I collected some of the exact same metrics as I did at Google, and while I knew exactly how to get the charts I wanted with Monarch, I could never figure out how to get them with InfluxDB (I later found out that it simply didn't support my use case). (The exact use case was collecting counters from network devices opportunistically, and then generating a bandwidth chart for a section of the network. At Google it was easy; I could do the differencing to turn the packet counters into "bytes sent over the last X seconds", then align the streams so that data was available at each time, then aggregate over topology. With InfluxDB... the query language lets you express that, but it doesn't yield correct results. I complained about it on HN and the author of did a lot of handwaving about how what I want to do is wrong, or something, and so I just wrote my own thing instead.)

The other thing I miss from Monarch is the default visualization for histograms. I have to manually reproduce that in Grafana with a series of manual queries like histogram_quantile(0.99, ...), histogram_quantile(0.90, ...), histogram_quantile(0.85, ...), ... where that was just the default visualization. Again, the open source world has some defaults, but I can't make heads or tails of what they are (try a default histogram visualization in Grafana)... Monarch just did the right thing by default.

I miss it.

I see a strong network effect here.

Once all of your friends are hooked on their phone, it becomes very lonely to be the only one that doesn't stare at a screen. But what people naturally yearn for is not to get bored alone, but to get bored as a group. So the "quality of bored-ness" goes down as screen usage expands.
The risk here is that a terror attack on grid infra knocks out so much of society. No electricity => so much trouble.

My point is that with solar+storage you get a more resilient system that can continue to provide power even if central grid infra i knocked out.

You can have wind instead of solar, but you need some way of generating. Storage alone gets you through a night, not more.

What risk do you see with commercial battery storage? You do know there is gasoline in cars and many houses are heated using natural gas, right? Compare and evaluate risks between those please.

You say that solar is ”particularly inefficient. I do not agree

I recently had to end working 32 hours on 4 days. I don’t think, that people sitting in the office 35 hours on 5 days are somehow more productive. But Germany has another huge problem having whole industry building obsolete diesel cars, when world goes electric. These working hour discussions are a tip of an iceberg. The real question where to put hundred thousands of workers and engineers what aren’t needed for electric cars.

This is usually wrong for the current SotA of ITPs.

One important difference between verified programs (that the article mentions is useful) and mathematical results is that the former usually involves properties that are very complicated to state with many moving parts, but are usually straightforward to prove. On the other hand, mathematical results usually have a straightforward central concept, and the complicated details (if there are) can be altered to slightly change the result.

To the mathematician, these complicated details are understood to be nonessential to the result and can be omitted, or reduced to a a comment or reference. And if the theorem is wrong, it can usually be salvaged.

But with provers, you are forced to get bogged down in the details.

The analogy to mining machines is wrong; the appropriate comparison is something more like writing in Python vs. writing in assembly. Writing in assembly you have a better guarantee that the computer is behaving exactly as you told it to.

But it's less portable (e.g. you must decide to encode tuples primarily as a product, or as a finite sequence, one of many nonessential decisions that are important to a prover), just as asm is less portable than a python program. You have to get bogged down in details that you can make errors in that you don't in Python; (respectively, informal proof). It's harder for peers to understand the thrust of what is happening. etc.
I could offer an alternative perspective on this as I’ve seen it done to a lot of people that haven’t much choice in the matter.

It’s entirely possible you’re not getting offers because they know you don’t need them.

I don’t mean to say they’re wanting to give the offers to less fortunate applicants - it’s just that you’ll be impossible to abuse relative to someone who they know needs the money.

“We need you to work until this is done.”
“No.”
“Chris, it’s very important and will be reflected on your performance review.”
“Ok. Still no.”

At the start of my career (ages ago now) I had an employer find out that my university progression was tied entirely to their performance review of my placement, and immediately start to insist on my working all the hours under the sun with the strong implication that if I didn’t play ball the note would be “unfavourable”.

When you’re young it’s not always clear how little crap you should take from people in more senior positions.
I think mathematics is an art as well as a science. For mathematicians it can be very exciting to explore, create, and discover new mathematics and, I think, computers provide a new tool in that exploration.

So even though a camera can, for example, create a perfect representation of a sunset, that doesn’t mean paintings are now worthless.

Creating a painting of a sunset is more than just reproducing the sunset. In a similar way mathematics is more than just producing a proof.

Further, the camera is a now a whole new adventure from an artistic perspective because it is a new mechanism for creating art.

Similarly computerized systems provide a whole new adventure in terms of exploring and understanding mathematics.

Just as the classic art of creating paintings doesn’t invalidate photography, and photography doesn’t invalidate creating paintings (they are both exciting ways to make art), computerized math systems and classical math are exciting ways that can work together to discover mathematics.

I bought an '04 Corolla off the lot and still drive it to this day. It looks ugly as sin due to the various people who have insisted on running into my vehicle, but it still runs great. Literally the only things I've had to replace on that vehicle is the battery, some fuses, and the starter (and the starter going out was my fault) 2 months ago.

I really don't understand why people feel the need to buy a new car every 4-5 years as they pay off the old. That money would be way more useful going to something else.
In many jobs you can easily work 4 or less days a week in germany because there is a law that gives you the right to part time work. Obviously your wage is reduced accordingly.
We can argue about how 'flat' most cities are or are not (most cities have very large areas which are flat), but given that, anyone can ride bicycles. Have you been to the Netherlands? I've very rarely been in a city that couldn't have massive cycling improvements across most of its area. Other forms of transit can make up the gaps. I completely reject your 'able-bodied young people' comment as a reasonable assumption about how accessible cycling is.
Hmm, it seems like all the fuel gauges I can find are designed to be incorporated in to a bms, instead of being added to the input/output of an already existing bms. Do you know if there's a fuel gauge that can work with 12v so I can just add it to the circuit I'm using?

Anyway, someone was asking why you'd ever want to defragment an SSD? Good question, I think. Two things:

1. Sequential access is still faster with SSDs, just not by a margin of infinity anymore. I guess this is because of prefetching in the controller of the drive itself?

2. To reduce bookkeeping overhead? You need less space to store the information "blocks 1-3" than "block 1, block 17, and block 59." I have no idea how NTFS works or anything, this is just a guess.
