Excellent comment

speaking to this: If you hate the office that badly, you’re probably working at the wrong place.

What percentage of people who 'prefer WFH' are just people who don't like where they work and who they work with?

Would be interesting if someone did a survey on this
In my experience startups have the delusion and stupidity but they burn thru the 7 stages of death faster so there's the novelty of new beginnings!
There is no measurement problem. It so happens that most measurement apparatus are macroscopic and at a temperature much higher than the quantum gap of the system being probed. Measurements in qm imply a rotation between systems, and mixture with an incoherent thermal state implies a quantum superposition will lose coherence. Full stop. This is all understood in full, grab any text on non equilibrium quantum dynamics. One can even simulate the collapse process in full detail, and obtain superior agreement with experiments.

If the measurement apparatus is coherent, measurements can be performed without collapse. This was well thought out even within wigner and einstein's lifetimes. c.f. the vaidman bomb detector.

The bike room at my friend's apartment building has two entrances. One is to the lobby, the other is out the back... No one keeps expensive bikes in there, they are all junkers.

Risk/reward is relative though. For a lot of people 5 years in jail isn't worth $30k in bikes. For others it's worth the risk or they don't even realize the risk. I mean, people still rob banks for what, <$20k?

I think it would help to further divide cost in to capital cost and energy efficiency. The transition to renewables is going to require a lot of over provisioning.

For example, it would be madness to store excess solar power in the summer to be used to cover the winter shortfall. You just build enough panels to make it through the winter, and have excess energy in the summer. Much cheaper than building storage of any form that's only used for 30 cycles in its lifetime.

A solution that is capital efficient can sit around, waiting to be turned on when there's excess energy. When the wind is blowing and the sun is shining, it's basically free.

If you need to run the plant even 25% of the time for it to make sense, it's not going to be able to take advantage of these fluctuations and that's going to make it a much tougher sell.

This is why I'm hopeful for hydrogen for storage; over provisioning hydrolysis capacity is not intrinsically difficult, and low efficiency isn't a deal breaker when you don't have anything else to do with the excess.

Instead of scaling up like that, there are other ways that take advantage of positive feedback loops and decentralization — that is, a technology that can go “viral”.

There would not be a single source of failure. Such a system can be self -healing. It can potentially be adaptive if local people are able to implement it in ways that make sense for their place and community. (Otherwise, it runs into the same kind if globalist mindset from high modernity).

You don’t have to find a single tree species to do this. Instead, you look at what is already growing in the local area and plant those. Doing it that way solves way more problems than carbon emissions. We are talking about food forests (solve the food distribution problem), emotional and mental health (humans recover from illnesses better when they can see trees), resiliency (from decentralized food systems and biodiversity), and so on.
Its confusing because that's the mathematical definition of a monad that you need to know category theory to fully understand. In haskell a monad is just a way to run some effects sequentially, it's actually really basic stuff that every programmer already has an intuition for.
I kind of like data cleaning, I'm a weirdo like that
Funny you say that not all kids are meant to go to college or university, talk about useful skills, and then talk about people being taught dependence.

One of the main benefits of a liberal arts education is honing critical thinking. In a world awash in misinformation and conspiracy theories, I wish more people were taught to think independently, instead of just function.
It requires people to save receipts on everything they buy. People (in states that charge sales tax) already sort of are required to do this for goods they buy online that don't charge tax. The vast vast vast majority of people (every single person I've asked) evade this tax. I try to pay the tax myself (I'm the only person I know who does this) by going through online receipts, putting them in a spreadsheet and calculating the tax. I know I'm missing some though, I buy too much stuff. There are even people I know who don't just evade the tax out of laziness, but evade it intentionally to save money, intentionally buying stuff online because it doesn't charge tax.

My point is that this will be a very large amount of effort for people, and there will be a large amount of tax evasion due to both laziness and greed.
It also has the potential to waste your time and theirs. I wouldn't call it pushy as much as borderline deceptive.
I think both factors contribute. It's why my childhood occupies such a large amount of my mental memories. My brain had more dedication to those years.
It looks like this is all based on survey data, which I have found to not correlate particularly well with how people actually behave. Am I misreading this (or not giving survey data enough credit)?
Why not get an external hard drive and shuck it? You end up paying half the price, but the drive is still the same (although you have to pay attention to reviews on /r/DataHoarder). The only disadvantage is the lack of warranty and having to shuck it.

Animated gifs are obviously trivial to block, so it doesn't seem worth even addressing that. The other half of the GP talks about rendering directly to canvas, using JavaScript...
Streaming has also focused a lot on serial content. Lots of those titles have had multiple seasons. One season is easily 3-4 features worth of content. The feature is not the end-all it used to be.
It is, and that's the point: you can screw a 60W equivalent LED into any socket where you previously had a 60W incandescent and have about the same amount of light for a much lower energy cost.
I’ve owned an Apple Watch and I’m an Apple Fanboi, but it’ll take something amazing to get me to switch away from my Fitbit Charge.

The long battery life is a killer feature for me, because I can wear it overnight, and get sleep data. I also simply don’t want the rest of the crap on my wrist — I have a phone for apps and notifications that I can easily put in a draw when I want it.

All that said, I’m pretty data hungry so I’ll update my Charge the day they add a new sensor to it
You can't turn off gifs or canvas because it would just break too much internet.

I could imagine and equal reaction thread here if google deemed some gifs and canvas uses "unworthy" and were blockable.

Some other cryptocurrencies designed around anonymity are still very effective for that purpose. The only weaknesses are at the spots where the funds enter and exit the "laundry". (Converting to/from fiat or a less anonymous cryptocurrency.)

Wow really interesting to see such high (assume Mbps) bandwidth guarantee for consumer service. Is the guarantee really work?
> But WSJ is much cheaper on Apple News, why is this so? Is there some catch (like 2nd year is expensive)?

I have no idea. I mostly got a News+ subscription for the magazines. It has Scientific American, Consumer Reports, National Geographic, Popular Science, Popular Mechanics, Smithsonian, Wired, some Mac, Windows, and Linux magazines, Time, Newsweek, The New Yorker, Readers Digest, The New Republic, National Review, The Advocate, and a whole bunch more in a whole bunch of categories.

I only regularly read a few of those, which is enough on its own to justify the subscription. Having all the rest there for when I occasionally want something different is a nice bonus.
You still would amass capital. Guns, food, persons, other resources.

You might enjoy the book "The Entrepreneurial State" by Mariana Mazzucato makes a similar argument that a lot of innovation is actually driven by the state, because they can afford to invest a lot in research without an immediate payoff. The author mentions DARPA in particular as a great example of the US stimulating innovation that then later benefits companies. For example, while the iPhone is a great piece of innovation, it built on innovations made possible by state funded research.

I really like the idea of being more thoughtful about naming columns and being more explicit about the “type” of data contained in them.

Is this idea already known among data modelers or data engineers?

I’d love to read any other references, if available.
Most timber today isn't harvested in natural forest, they are effectively tree farms, they have a 10 to 20 year growth cycle and since all the trees planted are harvestable, they basically clear cut the land, burn it, off cycle growth as needed, and do it again.

In those instances, there is no ecological consideration as the whole area basically gets wiped out.

Umatrix seems to do such a good job at messing with these sites dependencies that I usually don't see sticky videos at all. It allows you to block/allow individual classes of resources for each domain.

Hey at least the company knew that they had hired you. I had that once, the joy of contracting agencies I guess.

It was a 6 month contract and at the end of it they still had not gotten me badge access to the area I worked in.
There's only two kinds of people in San Francisco: there are "Techie Scum" who are people who walk, bicycle, and ride buses to jobs where they work for a paycheck. The other class of people inherited fortunes from railroad barons, 19th-century bonanza wheat magnates, and Mexican land grants, who went to private schools, then Little Ivies, and have never worked a day in their lives. These people for some reason are known as "community organizers" or, weirdly, "tenants-rights activists."
That's correct, But there are numerous good methods to propogate irreversible dynamics in qm. Many of these are exact in the limit of a noninteracting bath of bilinearly coupled oscillators which is sufficient to describe a measurement collapse. There's no mystery or inexact proscription to such a simulation of a collapse process. It's just complicated.

Liberal arts are useful, but they’re not an end onto themselves. Too many kids study liberal arts as an end in itself where they expect a professional job out of it. It’s not their fault. The education system sets them up for that.

Aether looks so interesting. Do you have communities that have adopted it ? In what use cases? How do they use it daily?

I like how the data expiration is set as an intentional feature.
I used to think that novelty the key to making time go slow, I now think there is a limit to this. I've had a couple jobs that are absolutely filled with novelty, where every day is pretty different from the last. At some point, it becomes a bit of a vortex. I know I've done a lot, but damned if I can actually remember it at the end of the day.

This also happened to me when spending six weeks backpacking in Europe. At some point, the novelty itself became routine. Another castle, another hostel, another view, another language, another transit system. I knew it was time to head back to home base when I felt like I was losing the capacity to be awed by things that were objectively awesome. A couple weeks of being stationary was all it took to get that back a bit.

In order to slow down time, you need not just novelty, but also changes in real circumstances.
Would be nice if the pricing then corresponded to performance statistics.
Japan's banks have a similar system, based on half-width katakana. Fortunately most banks can fetch the name from each other, but sometimes transfers fail due to issues similar to those found in this article.

Let me rephrase what you wrote: "Someone had a long conversation on the Internet about a topic that good hackers would find interesting, came to a conclusion, and then shared that conclusion with others."

That's not just not toxic, but is the whole purpose of this website.
1. My first job out of university, when I discovered you can do interesting things with programming.

2. Learning XForms, which can do most of what JavaScript is used for in a tiny amount of code.

3. Learning JetBrains IDEA, the only IDE that I ever enjoyed using.

4. Learning red-green-refactor TDD. Now refactoring is something I do as a matter of routine, not dread.

5. Understanding the fractal complexity of Bash. It's weird how a language can make stream processing and parallelization basically trivial, while making things looping over non-trivial sets of files reliably PhD-level tasks.

6. Doing pair programming, and then keep doing it for four years because it was brilliant.

7. Installing Arch Linux, the first distro where things weren't constantly broken because of version drift.
So have you not found in practice any data dependencies or cache issues show up as bottle necks? Or do current tools just make this more of a blind spot for optimization?

Also is there any work to multi-thread the Rust compiler on a more fine-grained level like the recent GCC work? I know you allude to that potentially that would make the instruction counts potentially less reliable so wondering if that's something being explored.

Finally, while I have you, I'm wondering if there's been any exploration of the idea of keeping track of information across builds so that incremental compilation is faster (i.e. only bother recompiling/relinking the parts of the code impacted by a code change). I've always thought that should almost completely eliminate compilation/linking times (at least for debug builds where full utmost optimization is less important).
For some people, the sandbox mode is where the fun is. They ditch entirely the survival part of the game and simply like to build things in creative mode. Some people build houses and voxel art, others create complex mechanisms up to functionnal logic gates and computers, and others just like to explore the fractal world.
About 10 years ago I swung by their San Francisco office. They had an alcove set up with speakers to demonstrate what the clock might sound like. It was very Brian Eno, a la "Music For Airports" but like "Music For Time".
This would be super interesting analysis, but what percentage of IPs from US/EU claimed to from 'developing world'?
That advice is applicable to any kind of code analysis tool.
> While China is very far behind in terms of chip manufacturing technology

SMIC, the leading fab in mainland China, is now doing 14nm. That makes them about six-seven years behind the leading edge. However, 14nm is good enough for very many applications. A lot of the most critical applications for national security, such as military embedded systems, are several generations behind that.

Anyway, design of CPU instruction sets and microarchitectures is at a different level of the stack from semiconductor fabrication – how advanced you are in one does not directly correlate to how advanced you are in the other. CPU design is about getting the maximum performance and features out of the budget provided by the fabrication process, power and thermal constraints, etc. How good the best fabrication process you have available to you is doesn't really say anything about how good you are as a CPU designer
There is no evidence beyond the authors opinion that these are valuable skills. I wish more people looked at empirical research into management for evaluating who to hire.
Since the article mentioned bencoding and provides sample .torrent files, I'd like to show my code for parsing and visualizing bencode structures: https://www.nayuki.io/page/bittorrent-bencode-format-tools
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/12/magazine/climeworks-busin.... In the very short term, probably not; in the longer term, yeah:

The company’s ambitions for mass production may still seem extreme. To actually capture 1 percent of the world’s carbon emissions by 2025 would, by Gebald’s calculations, require that Climeworks build 250,000 carbon-capture plants like the ones on the roof at Hinwil. That adds up to about 4.5 million carbon collectors. For a company that has only built 100 collectors (and has 14 small plants around Europe), it’s a staggering number. The Climeworks founders therefore try to think of their product as the automotive industry might — a piece of mass-produced technology and metal, not the carbon they hope to sequester. “What we’re doing is gas separation,” Wurzbacher said, “and that’s traditionally a process-industry business, like oil and gas. But we don’t really see ourselves there.”

The founders note that Toyota makes more than 10 million cars annually. “Every CO₂ collector has about the same weight and dimensions of a car — roughly two tons, and roughly 2 meters by 2 meters by 2 meters,” Gebald said. “And all the methods used to produce the CO₂ collectors could be well automated. So we have the automotive industry as a model for how to produce things in large quantities for low cost.” The two men have already sought advice from Audi. They are also aware that the automotive industry perfected its methods over the course of 100 years. Climeworks, if it plans to have even a modest impact, doesn’t have nearly as much time.

Part of the goal is to have the technology ready to go, so that when the U.S. finally wakes up and realizes the peril, we'll have a response.
It is indeed Russian and Russian people have a culture of enjoying swimming, sometimes combined with consumption of the alcohol. Combined with the fact that in Russia swimmable seas do not have rip currents, I would not be surprised if Russians disproportionately contributed to the sad statistics.

The reason why Haskell still doesn't really break through in the corporate world is not a failure of arrogance, but a marketing failure in the strictest sense of the word 'marketing'—which means prioritizing the right features to target the right market.

A large proportion of the talk linked below is based on the book “Crossing the Chasm".

The book was originally written for startups trying to break into the mainstream, and this talk adopts that book to programming laguage (or tools more generally), particularly regarding Haskell.

Gabriel Gonzalez – How to market Haskell to a mainstream programmer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNpsgTIpODA

Gabriel also suggests that in order to "cross the chasm" you have to offer a best-in-class experience in some area, and suggests that Haskellers adapt the language to facilitating building interpreters, which is it particularly well suited for.

So, base on the above, I don't think the OP's emphasis on the emotional analysis of Haskell programmers is anything more than the OP's just-so story, although the notion of parochialism may have some crossover with the concept of marketing.

Lots of great radio programs. This American Life, Art Bell, Hearts of Space. Hell going back far enough even Loveline had it's moments.
