Consequently I think a common tasks in software development that contribute to burnout are defined as:
"In this very limited time, go into this completely unfamiliar code and try to fix this bug/extend this feature".
All tasks of this sort usually require "understanding" and it is a hard thing to do in a limited time. If you are a time conscious person or a person that is prone to stress, that stuff just burns your soul.
I'm certainly not an expert in Indian history, but it seems that there was a caste system 500 BC with four castes which people were born into.

Is there evidence that people were able to move between castes before that time?
You do understand that heap size != memory footprint, right? The JVM has its own memory footprint before you start allocating java objects.
I don't think EBU R128 is ancient, or anything. The units are LUFS, which is basically dB with an offset. I'm not an expert here, but I know the loudness measurement is perceptual. I ported existing EBU R128 code to Swift to measure loudness a while back, and I recall there was at least one filtering stage to account for quirks in human hearing.
What criteria is Approval not better than Plurality? Only one I can think of is simplicity (although I'd argue that plurality is only slightly simpler).

But approval doesn't have the favorite betrayer like ordinal (RCV/IRV/Condorcet) does. As far as I'm aware, cardinal systems are all like this. They are much more resistant to spoilers.

Why are people questioning why this is a crewed plane? The article clearly says we don’t know that detail:

...”he refused to divulge any aspect of the aircraft’s design — its mission, whether it was uncrewed or optionally crewed, whether it could fly at hypersonic speeds or if it has stealth characteristics.

Those attributes, he said, are beside the point.”
This! For single-winner elections I think approval voting is the best method.

(Score voting is in theory slightly better with non-strategic voters, but in practice many people vote strategically in which case the added complexity isn't worth it)

Google's Take on the Database Renaissance
Many companies put a lot of effort into sales, because they are interested in a family of two-sided paths in the transaction space T, where one half-edge

d : I -> T

is a continuous function d from the unit interval I = [0,1] to T, representing delivery, and the other half-edge

p : I* -> T

is a continuous function p from the conjugate unit interval I* = [1,0] to T, representing payment.

Somehow it feels fitting that ACME instead puts a lot of effort into carrying inventory, where the single half-edge, o, representing on-premises inventory, is the identity on T.

I knew about Fargo using approval voting (and I think that's awesome), but it surprised me that they used it in a multi-winner election. Using approval voting for multi-winner can work, but it'll tend to produce winners who are ideological clones of each other, rather than something more like proportional representation.

To give an example of what I mean, suppose 51% of the city is solidly for party A, and 49% is solidly for party B. If you run an election with two candidates of party A and two candidates of party B, and everyone votes according to their partisan preferences, then both the party A candidates win rather than, say, one A and one B.

There are some proposed methods that extend approval voting to do something closer to proportional representation by weighting the votes of voters who have gotten one of their candidates elected less than ones who haven't, but I don't remember all the specific details.

That said, I think this makes sense if having multiple winners is unusual (like there were two seats up this election rather than one because someone left office before their term was up), or if there's a bunch of commissioners who are replaced in stages like U.S. Senators, and it would be weird to make results proportional within each "class" but not proportional overall.

Anyone know the full story here?
But they don't need to reimplement it entirely from scratch or as a clean-room implementation because:

1. WPF is now MIT-licensed.

2. Unlike WinForms, the bulk of WPF is managed-code, not a thin-wrapper over Win32.

Therefore anyone can now port WPF to Linux, macOS, etc - and they only need to port the "PresentationCore" part of WPF (i.e. the native parts that expose Direct3D drawing surfaces to WPF).
...That was an example in a context re: free will. Determinism vs randomness dichotomy.

yeah, somewhat often —- it’s basically a way for me to verify whether a goal is actually a goal for me (if i don’t care enough to meet a deadline or at least try, it’s not a goal and it’s weighing me down to act like i care about it/expect it to happen)

though sometimes the desire to achieve them comes back much later, and i retry

basically desire would enable me to achieve them or get closer / lack of authentic desire is usually in the way

It is also great for string all dependencies for development together in a docker-compose file. On any machine you just have to git clone and open vscode in the container and you are good to go. Even if you require a particular version of postgresql, some compiler version or a complete Kafka cluster; everything can be configured in a Dockerfile/docker-compose file and stored with the code. No more pages long readme's of how to get all dependencies set up just right. Especially when often switching between projects and machines this is a godsend. And for onboarding it is so easy to get someone a fully configured working environment.
I personally do not consider all 'sides' of an issue to be equal, and am capable of considering an argument without normalizing it.

I believe we are already inundated with media sources that amplify a single worldview and that is extremely harmful. Somehow considering or even listening to a different idea has become viewed as weakness and something to be avoided.

Rogan is one of the few that has an audience of people with widely varying preferences. He also does not give every fringe/extreme idea or person equal time. Instead he has guests on that are already noteworthy and have an audience. I find some of those episodes the most interesting as clearly those guests are saying something that resonates with an audience. I think it is critically important to understand why some 'antisocial' idea is resonating, especially if it is harmful.

Rogan is also great at hearing out a guest, finding common ground, and then discussing differences. Something I try to continually improve upon myself.

I'm in no way advocating some kind of 'equal time' type argument for all sides of an issue, but I think it is important that we address ideas that have a significant number of proponents rather than ignore them. Remember that both the women's rights and civil right's movements were initially considered antisocial and selfish.

Would you mind sharing a story or two?
> Foreign actors are primarily interested in sowing chaos, and only secondarily interested (at most) in getting a particular candidate elected.

That was true until Trump though. https://static.macmillan.com/static/fib/hiding-in-plain-sigh... That foreign actor sowed a seed, cultivated it and it blossomed according to possible years-long plan and that one for once succeeded in incredible ways. Most likely others failed, most likely luck played a role. But here we are. Sponsoring some candidates rather than others is picking up a particular candidate.
I think with the right, bright people, they'll train themselves in no time. But sure, that shifts the problem from getting "people who know F#" to "people who are very intelligent and experienced", which might be equally hard if not more so.

I believe it's worth it, but have no data to back it up.

In my company we use pyenv with virtualenv and everything works seamlessly. VSCode automatically runs the activate script from pyenv in a new terminal (in my case it is even the fish shell), debugging works fine, and I can go to definitions.

Note that a new extension, that works alongside the original python extension, has been developed by Microsoft: Pylance. It speeds things up based on pyright, a python type-checker.

For refactoring you can use rope [0] as a VSCode extension.

The reasonable percentage is still relatively high because while the number of addresses goes up stupid fast, the number of hosts connected to the internet does not. The distribution of hosts across allocated blocks is also not random, dhcp6 implementations have predictable allocators so they don't have to keep 4 bn records in memory.

Almost all machines are dual homed, which gives you opportunities for them to leak their v6 address over v4. Once you find a statistically significant sample of addresses you can figure out how each network allocates addresses and then scan them until you start turning up no new hits. For example on my v6 blocks I just use the same last octet as their v4 addresses.

I had a look through the XPS standard and had a similar feeling. I complained to a friend that had been involved in one of the bigger pdf libraries. He then made me compare it to his version of the pdf 2.0 (iirc) standard.

When it's private schools doing it, or coaches at private schools doing it as a side hustle, I really didn't mind--private schools can do what they want, and if they want a rigged system, go for it. There's a reason Jack on 30 Rock called USC "the last bastion of the incompetent rich."

When a public school does this, it's a violation of the public trust and taking advantage of taxpayers.
Let's be real: plurality is trivial, approval is dead simple, score is easy, IRV is so so, Schulze is complex. That is, in determining the winner.

In plurality you just count the number of votes. Largest number wins. max(sum(votes)

In approval you just count the number of approvals. Candidate with the most approval wins. (max(sum of columns(votes))

Score you actually have to create a matrix!

IRV you have recursion!

Schulze you have both and graph theory!

I just don't see the appeal. Sure, it has a slightly better VSE than STAR if everyone is voting 100% honestly (that condition is a key part!) but it just isn't appealing when you consider other criteria. Especially when we talk about simplicity. Approval is essentially trivial but also has a lot of other criteria going for it. How much does VSE matter? Especially if you still aren't combating spoilers (I'll give you that Schulze does better than IRV at spoilers).
Isn’t the reason we spent unlimited money on the F35 is to have one super stupid plane for all branches that does everything you ask but nothing well except costs tons of money?

Anyway, glad to see the USAF was building something useful in the background. Wouldn’t be shocked if it was a small team with few resources.

I'd like to hear some comments from people who have experienced a situation where two people pleasers get into a feedback loop where they both start always saying yes to each other.

I've experienced this kind of situation before and I'm only recently realizing that this is the nature of that situation and am starting to unravel it.
I mean score collapses into approval, so it isn't that big of a deal. I still prefer STAR of the three but I wouldn't be very vocal about voting math if we have approval because it is good enough for me to shut up except among other nerds.

Given the original constraints of the OP I don't think that would be to much of a overhead.
A text and limited amount of images blog like page does not require any major tools in either of the ones mentioned.
However you do have a point when you want to start adding more complex features, then it quickly becomes a lot more complicated than just fixing it in the plain html page requiring the change.
Typically modules come with their own contracts. Even in the backend by itself, we see same class definition as a model, as an entity and as a business object.

>People who are now 75-80 had much better nutrition than generations before them.

I think we have to separate the quality of the food (vitamins, fiber, protein, sodium, etc.) from the quantity that was available, and when. You can have the lack of food in certain periods in Finland in the last 75-80 years, e.g. due to WWII. At the same time it's possible to have better food quality in the same period, due to increased globalization, since Finland probably never had so much access to fruits and vegetables in winter as it does in the last 80 years.
I might be biased, as I'm the engineer that you're talking about, but that characterization feels unfair. Context-aware escaping is by no means common in the open source world—just look at Jinja or Handlebars. So unless you're knee-deep in an ecosystem that embraces it, it's easy to brush it off as unimportant.
My point was that they know how to make games that sell by truckloads. Quality of development is another matter altogether
When you're talking about the U.S. military, the base can be an ocean away and the primary network is likely to be a constellation of satellites. Modern military planners are hyper-paranoid about battlefield communications disruption, which makes "someone shot our satellites out of orbit" a legitimate scenario to plan for.
My recollection is that OpenDNS(?) did the same thing on an ongoing basis. They mirrored prod network traffic in to a gamma environment to test/compare responses. I seem to recall it come up at a DNS OARC workshop a few years back if anyone wants to look for more details. Another system I worked on essentially did passive packet level functional tests on production network traffic. Pretty good technique to pick up new variations in the protocol.

There may be some like that. But studies have proven that 90%+ people say no to tracking when given a fair chance. So any site that monetizes with personalized advertising banners (or any site that uses tracking such as pixels for marketing purposes) doesn't want to give that fair chance as they would lose out on what they can do now.
> It’s not a trial, it’s a hearing to explore whether just cause exists for a US ‘arrest’, and whether the prosecution is not manifestly unreasonable.

It sort of is. There's oodles of evidence that it does not meet the test of extradition, among others on the basis of being a political prosecution.

No it's not.

"This is enough money to supply extra supervision and also give a full scholarship to another student."

Imagine there are 10 students for 5 spots, and there is an objective ranking from most-qualified (#1) to least-qualified (#10).

Now let's assume student #10 can pay that $200k. That funds their spot plus another spot. So instead of admitting:

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

You can now admit:

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10}

Doesn't this seem unfair to candidates #7 to #9, who are more qualified than #10, but will end up with a less valuable credential?

Switzerland is currently debating how to replace a 30 year old fleet of F/A-18s. I've advocated that we should turn our back on what I see as 20th century thinking in the fighter jet market and instead design something for our context, but people don't believe me when I say that designing with off the shelf engines, radars and weapons should be possible on the cheap today. Mostly, I don't see why my tax dollars should build up American or French industry, when we know that Swiss engineers are smart enough to zig where the world around then zags. (See also Solar Impulse and Alinghi.)
If you let AI autonomously designate targets and kill targets fully then humans are no longer at the top of the food chain. It's easy to dismiss the control problem in civilian environments because humans suffer from that exact same problem and that's why we have the rule of law and law enforcement. But the military works differently. The person, organization or AI in charge of the military also effectively governs all civilians of that nation.
Yeah I have worked with people who are oppositional as a rule: i.e. no matter what is proposed, they will find a flaw or a reason it's a bad idea. These were some of the worst team environments I ever worked in.
I think part of it is that people tend to be laser-focused on the problem they're having right now and not the problem they're going to have.

For instance, RCV (aka IRV) is great solution to the problem that a minor candidate siphoned a few votes away from a major candidate and swung the results of a national presidential election several times in recent memory. If voters who really wanted to vote for Nader could have also voted for Gore, maybe Bush wouldn't have won, and that election would have better reflected the will of voters.

The problem that RCV is not prepared to deal with is what happens if people actually start voting for Green or Libertarian or Democratic Socialist or whatever in large enough numbers that they actually have a chance of winning elections. At that point, you run into problems and RCV starts producing nonsensical results. The voters learn from this that it's not actually safe to vote for third party candidates, and the two party system remains in place. It's a little bit better because you don't have minor candidates swinging elections, but it's still a duopoly.

> Are human pilots still better than computers?

For highly fluid, continuously changing environments? Yes. Humans are much more adaptable than computers.

That having been said: there is a YouTube video of a test pilot talking to some folks at MIT(?) and saying that the F35 is basically the future of piloting in that you don't "fly" the plane so much as tell the plane "do action X" and the plane figures out how to do it. So, the next generation of planes are going to be even more of this--effectively a human pilot in theatre commanding a drone swarm.

> I would think a plane could be lighter and react and maneuver more rapidly, pull more Gs, if there was no human inside.

Absolutely. And lots of these will be commanded from a bunker somewhere. The number of these commanded from a pilot in theatre is going to get smaller and smaller.
