My two cents. I prefer analogy with sport. Say you choose running and pick 10k distance. What might be the goal? 50min, 40min, 30min? Say you pick 50min, if you are out of shape and did not do sport in your life - it will take you 6-9 months. You will have to train 3 times a week, probably you won't hire a couch, your body won't be ready, hence you will make many mistakes and will have quite high chances to injure your self and quit. What I want to emphasize - to succeed you have to start loving the process and blend the process into your lifestyle.

I see very clearly how the goal oriented approach fails for loosing weight while the only effective thing to do is eat less.
This is probably one of the reason they pulled it before the 5 years they are planning. The ambient temperature have increased to a level they think it will cause more server failure.

Not everyone can live with roommates --- folks with growing families for instance.

I think the concerns about the poisonous air and electricity scarcity are way overblown. The air is bad because the whole region is on fire, and that's not happened for a long, long time (sure, there are pockets of fire-ravaged regions at any point in the late summer, but it's not this widespread).

The really problematic issues are the wacko water usage (growing almonds? really?), the callous disregard of state politicians for folks who do not own homes (and are increasingly facing homelessness or crushing commutes), and the deep fiscal troubles the state finds itself in (because of a seeming inability to control spending and normalize property taxation). Schools (including UCs) are not functioning well for the majority of Californians (they have failed to provide a free/cheap education to state residents, which is the mandate of any state university, and Community Colleges are massively underfunded).

CA weather is not the best by a long shot, but most of the rest of the US has terrible weather (way worse than CA at any rate).
And if you were going to believe a company's metrics on productivity, JP Morgan is almost certainly not the place to start.
Fair enough. What I'm saying is that detecting anomalous chemical composition of exoplanet atmospheres seems almost reachable with our current capabilities, and - unlike radio signals - is an indicator we can't really hide. So aliens slightly more advanced than us could be looking at that.

I wish more engineers would look into mathematical constructions of systems. Take something like Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorem and apply it to your own thought process - it shows that it is fallible. The recognition that you can be wrong, and that you might not be able to see how you are wrong, to me provokes a careful, thoughtful scepticism of self.

We still need to face reality, so the sceptic can’t take over the asylum, but we shouldn’t act as if the patients monopolise faulty logic. Just the act of listening and trying to really understand what is being communicated, informationally but also emotionally, is also a view we get of ourselves from outside our local system.

Empathy is a lot like that. Understanding that others have had different circumstances, which led them to different thought processes, which we should try to understand and validate. There’s richness to be found in those differences as well. Deep understanding of another allows directness, vulnerability, and passion to shine phosphorescent.
I believe that the point of the article is to describe the experience of living in California during the wildfires to people who are not living the experience.

It doesn't surprise me that your friend failed on this project but it isn't obvious a priori that measuring productivity is futile. But in my current job they're trying to create KPIs for us, so I've thought about this a bit and can certainly recognise the difficulty.

As an engineer in general how can you quantify the value of maintenance? On paper it's just a cost and it's impossible to know what would have happened without it.

The worst strategy is just to measure easy things like story points or number of tasks completed because it ruins the work culture. In those cases you're not going to take time to review pull requests carefully, advise colleagues, propose new projects or work on difficult tasks. It seems impossible to measure these, at least to me.

A significant issue though is that timezones change. For example the EU is ditching daylight savings time in 2021[1].

So actually there are many libraries and tools that could be done and just work forever, timezone stuff is much more dynamic than I'd ever realised.

FWIW I loved moment and made the move this year to date-fns[2] as I trusted browser availablity of the prerequisites enough to finally switch, and I do like working with it, but its focus on lightweight makes it less "magic" than Moment.

Edit2: Give ship a few more years, and it may pick up some prepositions with distinct meanings. "Him? He just ships around" or "With you? Not in a thousand years! Ship off!" (but not "*I'm shipping up to Boston").
Same. I moved to CA 16 years ago for work, with the past 10 years in SF, and I've been really happy. Things aren't perfect, by any means, but I really want to be here. There are obviously a lot of people who don't want to be here (perhaps they're only living here for work), and I'm not sorry to see people like that leave. I hope they find a place that makes them as happy as I am here, and I fundamentally believe that people who are invested in their community makes for a stronger, healthier place.

Verbing is super cool! English being my second language, the casualness of verbing is my favorite feature of it! In Polish, you can technically verb nouns too, but it's frowned upon to do it on your own.
Hell yes. I wish more projects would open to the idea of “moving over” when they’re done. Most developers have this idea that if they add an “alternatives” section to their Readme they’re losing something.

Moment’s developers realized that their job is done and that there are potentially better solutions now.

How refreshing is that?
Sandstorm(.io) is very cool, and it does make managing your self-hosted web apps very easy. But it does not run Docker containers and it only runs on Linux x86-64.

I live on the peninsula. We were without power for days. Then, while our power was still out, we got notified that another power outage was coming. We didn’t even know if we’d get power back before the next outage and PGE’s communication was a fat joke and got worse as time went on. (At the beginning you could talk to a human who would give you fairly useful information. By then end it was automated and only the information you could already get online, which was nearly useless.) Our power came back for about a day and then was gone for days again.
Well, the difference is, that YT needs you to watch more to show you advertising to make money. Netflix just needs you to pay your subscription. That is a big difference, as far as the payoff of using psychological hacks goes.

Don't. Or do, but in any event be really clear of your goals. Is your aim to get something done? Then do it the most efficient way (not by hand). Do you want to get a feel for the language? Then hand-type it all, but at the cost of slowing you down greatly.

Decide up front what your goals are else you will mix your goals and try to ride two horses, as the saying goes, and make achieving either much, much harder.

I've made this mistake many times, so take it as wisdom derived from really painful experience. Focus!

(this may come across as lecturing and presumptuous but I've screwed so much up by lack of clear goals and focus).

Apple, at least back then, used to hold the record for fastest entry into the Fortune 500. It took them seven years to get there (#411 their first year on the list, in 1983).

They had $583 million in sales for 1983. $1.5 billion in today's dollar. They hit basically $1b the next year, at $982 million for 1984 (in 1984 dollars). Inflation adjusted I'm guessing they hit the $1 billion mark at about six years in business.

I similarly recall that Compaq grew extremely fast. Dell's liftoff followed a similar trajectory (the start was a bit slower, due to how Michael Dell started the company).

There's a big difference between "literally impossible to mutate" (only important in the most security-critical contexts) and "designed around immutability as the default" (which is what is desired in most of the real world.)

The former not being possible is not a reason to exclude the latter.

I don't see this tiny upside outweighing the many deal-breaking downsides of moment.js. Especially since Luxon is already incredibly stable.

"they can make things that are current impossible"

The word for that is "invention" and I believe I used it in correct meaning (not a native speaker of English). There is nothing unthinkable about artificial wombs, though it is obviously hard. The research runs in Western countries as well. If Western scientists thought it was principially impossible to construct such devices ever, they wouldn't probably spend their time and grant money on fiddling around that concept.

Now China has a) a lot of classified research, b) fewer ethical concerns, c) is aware about their future demographic problems stemming from One Child Policy. I would be surprised if they did not at least try this approach.

As for curing aging, the longevity field seems to be more developed in the West so far, even though their aims are more modest - prolonging the healthspan by, say, 8-10 years. While not a solution, such progress would definitely buy some time.

Interestingly, there is a very niche subset of longevity research that looks into reproductive health of women over 40. It is possible, though far from certain, that oocyte quality could be improved even in older women - where aneuploidy is otherwise a big problem.
It is not easy to replace moment.js since many libraries like react-dates rely on momentjs. Hope they have plan to replace it.

From the executive summary:

> Our analysis shows that one factor—racial and ethnic differences in the type and severity of initial charge—accounts for over 70 percent of the disparities in sentence length. We explore several mechanisms by which racial disparities in initial charging decisions lead to the substantial average disparities we document. We find that:

- Black and Latinx people are more likely to have their cases resolved in Superior Court where the available sentences are longer, both because they are more likely to receive charges for which the Superior Court exercises exclusive jurisdiction and because prosecutors are more likely to exercise their discretion to bring their cases in Superior Court instead of District Court when there is concurrent jurisdiction.

- Black and Latinx people charged with drug offenses and weapons offenses are more likely to be incarcerated and receive longer incarceration sentences than White people charged with similar offenses. This difference persists after controlling for charge severity and additional factors.

- Black and Latinx people charged with offenses carrying mandatory minimum sentences are substantially more likely to be incarcerated and receive longer sentences than White people facing charges carrying mandatory minimum incarceration sentences.

I started programming on NeXT in 1991 and AppKit was already very nice (not "nice") back then.

Calibrating slightly less accurate clocks. What those clocks are used for I have no idea, but there’s times you need a good traceable measurement for some calibration of your own and your uncertainty stack can start to add up. The better, smaller, and cheaper NISTs equipment is the better your local cal lab will be and the easier your work is.

Try finding a thermometer setup that’s better than 1 degree accurate from 0-400C. It might be more than you expect. Now imagine you want to measure some property of a sensor or material as function of temperature using your new thermometer, add in the cost of an oil baths and precision multimeters. Now say you want to create your own golden standard with the best precision you can muster, your expensive oil bath is looking lacking and you’re buying Vienna mean standard ocean water...
The documents outline how to build a computer, from designing the hardware in an FPGA, to the entire software layer including UI, bootstrapping itself etc.
One person can understand the whole thing.

What's more, this is all done with a compiled language using GC at runtime, and with a low memory overhead ie. Oberon can be used as a systems language.

There are several projects moving on from this software-wise, A2:

https://www.research-collection.ethz.ch/bitstream/handle/20....

Also, following on from A2, Composita introduces a component architecture to allow managed memory without GC, and contextless switches (IMHO better than Rust)

I don't think mutability is JS design flaw. It was designed for manipulating UI - computer screen, which is mutable. If it was designed for printing (an immutable interface) i'd agree with you.
Bigger problem is that people started using javascript for server side, for which is (was) totally unfit for.
> This immeasurability is inversely proportional to the tangible, real value created.

I don't think that's true at all. Certain kinds of value are more easily measured, sure, and if that's all you mean by tangibility, what you say is a rather trivial tautology, but there's times when the value is real and tangible and easily qualitatively described (e.g., reduced workload), but tricky to measure because to accurately measure the increase you'd have to measure against a set of hypotheticals (e.g., cost/performance using best alternative of continuing with the status quo ante or competing automation options, including alternative custom builds.) For certain types of value, this is irreducibly true
for many of the same reasons intellectual work is well established to be difficult to estimate accurately (this actually converges to an identical reason when what you are doing is building automation to support intellectual work.)

And even when productivity is measurable, it's often not easily measured at the time of delivery
; where the problem is measuring hypotheticals but the only problematic hypothetical is performance with the software, it may take considerable real use before the actual value is clear.

But, it also can be unclear the value of any individual contribution even when the aggregate product value is clear. Telling the value of what the team delivered is different than trying to peel out the value Bob created.
I agree it wouldn't make sense unless you could move all audio processing off of the CPU. You couldn't take an existing DAW's CPU plugins and run them on the GPU, but a GPU based DAW could totally support third party plugins with SPIR-V or other GPU IR. You could potentially even still write the plugins in C++. Modern GPUs can even build and dispatch their own command buffers, so you have the flexibility to do practically whatever work you want all on the GPU. The only thing that would absolutely require CPU coordination is communicating with other devices.

GPU development is harder and the debugging tools are atrocious, so it's not without downsides. But the performance would be unbeatable.
