Edit:
I loved this comment:

> I have been observing the human world for quite some time now, and I wanted to give my two cents about it. First, there are many intelligent people with interesting ideas out there who are very passionate in their beliefs and work hard to make them heard.

> The quality of such work is usually excellent, and so it's easy to get swept away by whatever they say. I think this can be a good thing - we should listen to smart people when they talk, even if what they are saying contradicts our own beliefs.

> The problem in such cases is that people can often get carried away by an idea or concept without stopping to think whether it's actually true, and then they will defend their position with everything that they have.

> In my experience, this leads to a lot of unnecessary conflict, where people are too proud to admit they might be wrong. This is especially true when the ignorant masses take sides with one group or another and start spewing hate at each other on the internet.

> It's not just about 'PC Master Race' vs. console peasants - those are the least of our problems, really.

> It's much bigger than that. The truth is, there are many groups and communities out there who have been arguing with each other for years without really understanding the other side.

If this was really a GPT-3 bot, it passed my turing test.
Very good points! Rebooting is so fast these days it isn't an issue, but I also only use Windows for gaming so I'm not rebooting a ton (twice a day at most). As far as Linux gaming has come it's still not there yet.

Incompatible hardware/software are definitely a real problem that probably affect a large enough percentage of people unfortunately.
If that's the case, then wouldn't we have some kind of special background radiation? Penrose stated that some things must be visible through background radiation right? (something with black holes of the preveious aeon)

If that's the case, then we might be able to observe that state and try to workout, whether we get to that same state.
No, because we are talking about the foreign person trying to learn the new (second) language by total immersion. They obviously aren't going to start thinking in the second language until after they've learned it.

Impressive that the superfluous “need” for the Copyright (c) YYYY notice still persists to this day in the mind of many.
> First, you get Windows for everything else (if you use the machine for personal stuff, gaming, need Office desktop apps, if you need Photoshop, etc).

Does that include all the phone-home stuff and ads as well?

I only run Windows (10) on a work laptop, and I'm guessing it's the 'Enterprise' edition, so all of that is not present. I've heard that there's a lot of intrusive garbage in the home-oriented editions: is that accurate?

(I sysadmin, so dog food Linux on my workstation.)

Edit: why the downvotes? As someone who runs an Helpdesk/IT-managed Windows laptop I have no idea what the state of the consumer Windows sphere is. The parent lists many good things: are there any bad things worth mentioning?

Concorde’s other problem was newfangled airport security. Why spend 5x on tickets for a 3h flight if you spend 2h at airports anyway? The day is wasted to travel regardless.
> So the question is whether these features fall under "saving some people and killing others" or if they fall under "saving less people".

There are separate sets of features that you can't just glue together, they're not even offered together, you have to pay separately for the second set.

One set saves people, one set kills people. The set that kills people, doesn't save people.

You think it's ok to sell the set that kills people because they have a set thats save people.

I know it's not ok to sell features that kill people and don't save anyone. It'd be one thing if it could save people, but it doesn't. The other set does that.

This set just kills people. Doesn't save anyone.

Stop selling it.

Simple as that.

There's more to safety in system programming than "use Rust"..

Nobody had been making pressurised-cabin passenger aircraft for any appreciable length of time when the Comet crash happened. The situations are in no way comparable unless you restrict things to the powertrain.
Happens all the time. I personally work with 3 people on my team alone who have done it. I believe at Google a transfer between countries involves a new offer, based on local cost of living etc, and it is basically indexed against what you would be making with the same experience, perf, etc. in the new locale, and Google compensation is really good for the region. Only complications are with retirement funds (IRAs vs RRSPs), and tax filing. I believe Google provides the services of an accountant for a couple years after the transfer.

Last couple of years it feels like every week I see an email from somebody asking for advice etc. for relocation.

For two of my immediate coworkers/friends, both did it a bit after they had kids, and began to contemplate having kids in the American school system[s], and away from grandparents, etc.

It certainly makes it easier transferring within the same company. I think many Canadian SWEs coming back to work after being in SV would find the job market to be rather frustrating/annoying if they had to hunt for a new job. Transferring within the same company takes the edge off.
>The US left pushes hard against right to work

Because right to work is a union-busting tactic

>meaning everyone will be forced to join workplace unions when/if they are formed

This is wrong in a number of ways. First off, the formation of a union does not require that all employees instantaneously join it. Second, the union still needs to have an agreement with an employer. So if your workplace doesn't unionize, it doesn't matter if the one on the other side of town does. It doesn't magically just flip an "isUnion" bit and completely change everyone's employment situation in one fell swoop.

>if your colleagues organizes a union there you will be forced to join

If you workplace unionizes, then you _may_ be forced to join. There is no guarantee that a union would force joining to keep your job, although historically that has been the case. Much of that was due to a lot of the improvements that unions were negotiating for being very hard to "split" between union an non-union members (i.e. safer machines in a factory were a benefit to everyone, not just union members). In a tech union, who's to say that has to be that way. If unions negotiated for things like always having the latest hardware for members, it would be easier for non-union members at the same shop to be given whatever hardware your employer decided. Basically, a tech union may not be bound to the same constraints as traditional unions might have been.

>likely a lot of its members don't actually want to be a part of the union.

But if it's members don't want to be part of the union, then why is there a union. Part of that statement doesn't jive with the other.
Tesla have got EV infrastructure figured out. Here in the UK if you want to go for long journeys you need distributed high speed charging. Teslas are also efficient with the electricity and have decent range, while being pretty fast. Those are the plusses anyway...
I was just wondering what the status of this was. Anyone know if EDB is still working on it? Is just cybertec working on a fork of it now?

This was something I have been looking forward to for quite some time, but the discussion kinda died off in the mailing list.

1. Individual Contributors are more effective at home without distractions.

2. Managers are more effective at the office where they can talk to people and discover information: "manage by walking around".

3. Why are managers / executives necessary and often paid more? Because their contribution affects the work of many other people. Managers' work operates with leverage (for good or ill).

4. If offices make managers more effective, and managers leverage their effectiveness over a large number of people, then the greatest good for the company is likely to be a return to in-person working environments.

It may take a while, but most of us will be going back.
The barriers to learning a new language like a native speaker are mostly economical rather than biological. The amount of effort that it requires is just huge and the return is very small, because you don't really gain much from speaking like a native speaker compared to speaking like a foreign speaker. The difference is mostly cosmetic.
Here's the quiz used to conduct this research. It's supposed to predict one's native language. Predicted English for myself even though it's not. Doesn't seem particularly tough. Not sure it's a well-designed test.

I release my software for free. You shouldn't feel bad. People like me release their software to help others.

You can donate money, create your own software, contribute to existing software, or pay it forward in another aspect of life. I think that last option is an important one. Maybe your biggest impact would come from volunteering at a food bank?

I guess what I'm getting at, is that the important thing is perspective and community. If we all have the mindset to help each other, then we can find ways to make our communities better in our own ways.
The diabetes case is also most commonly accomplished with constant rapid testing. I don't think anybody loves grapefruit enough to bleed for it.
I think you'd be hard pressed to find a path where the boom cone's carpet doesn't pass over a moderately populated area and can be navigated by the aircraft at supersonic speeds. The US is not sparse east of the Missippi, which is more like 750 miles from the coast.
A fair objection, but as you well know, it takes work to extract information. Rarely will anyone show you their hand. If you never lift a rock, you never find the snake below, but the snake may exist below nonetheless. And if that rock has had a snake below it before then maybe you don't put your hands underneath to lift the rock.

But you can win me over trivially. Take your union. Add a single immutable tenet: This union will always act to increase legal immigration in America. Now you have a union I will support. After all, if you're pro-immigration, this is merely a formalization of your position. It's a win-win.
Lots of people out there think lots of other professions are no more complex than mashing rocks together, and I would venture techies are probably the most arrogant of these

Cool, your use case is exactly one I hope it works for. I find that the notebooks are a really good way to organize by topic or project, and should work really well for classes, too. You can even archive a project or class notebook when it ends and still easily access, revive, or drop into the content.

Tagging in `nb` is really simple and is just a matter of putting hashtags in your documents and then searching for those hashtags using `nb search` / `nb q`. `nb <url>` makes tagging a little more convenient when bookmarking by providing a `-t <tag1>,<tag2>...` / `--tags <tag1>,<tag2>...` option and saving them in a dedicated `## Tags` section in `.bookmark.md` documents.
To be fair, the previous comment was an anecdote as well.
And so are background actors and actors you've only ever seen on infomercials, yet they're represented by the same SAG-AFTRA as movie stars.
It's Facebook you're talking about. I'm not sure why you'd think they would make the right choice instead of chasing $.
That was only under the assumption that the APIs themselves weren't copyrightable.

Rumble Research: Inside the Most Popular Vibrator
If you want an EV that can do everything an ICE car can do, including reasonably convenient road trips, it's still the only option. (The delta is not quite as strong in the European or Chinese markets, but it's still there.)

Things that people like about EVs and Teslas specifically:
1) The driving experience is very special. Startling acceleration, single-pedal driving, near-silent low speed operation.
2) Operating costs are very low. Next to no routine maintenance, inexpensive "fuel".
3) Class-leading safety due to low CoG and lack of engine in the crumple zone.
4) Great software that is updated frequently over the air.
5) Arguably the best proto-self-driving/advanced driver assistance that gets better over time. 6) Hands down the best charging infrastructure and experience.

The build quality issues are real, but tend to be overblown by the media. The looks, inside and out, are definitely polarizing. I personally love the minimalism but would like better materials. But it's inarguably different, and for lots of people that's exciting in and of itself.
Tech worker survey: Facebook still not doing enough to prevent election disinfo
I don't think it's the lack of feedback that's the issue. I think it's more that people are less willing to risk using the language wrong as they get older (regardless if there is or is not feedback coming).

Growing up in Canada, we had to learn French. I was not fluent in it, but clearly knew enough to get by if I ever visited France. Well, when I was 28 I did visit France. When I got there, I did not want to try any of my French for fear of getting it wrong. (And yes, it was about 10 years since I had been using it in school.)

However, I encountered an American who had been in France for a couple of months by that point and he was using every bit of French he had in all conversations, even if it was broken. I was jealous because he was actually communicating and putting an effort into it. He didn't have the fear of getting it wrong, so he would try and try and try. Meanwhile, I would just keep my mouth shut and not learn at all for fear of failure.

That experience did stick with me when I tried learning some other skills years later. I realized I had to push myself to fail and get things wrong before getting them right, otherwise I would never make any progress. I'd think of that guy and his attempts that sometimes wouldn't land, but that he'd make progress.
I find "anecdotes do not equal data" to be unscientific.

Your doctor doesn't take your oral history for fun, it's data. Now, just like a medical doctor we should weigh anecdotal data accordingly, but it's still data.

Here for example we can tell BMW/Audi reportedly sometimes make production errors. Tesla reportedly don't always make significant (to the commenter) production errors.

Sure, that's not terribly useful. It's still data.

The Challenges of NPNM Innovation
With no support except armchair making things up, I think that children talk to themselves a lot, describing what's happening through the day. "Now we're going to get into the car and drive to the shops, right mommy?" "yes, dear".

Adults who talk to themselves are seen as insane, and as an adult you get into the car and drive to the shops on autopilot without using any words for it, and go your whole day without thinking of the words for anything you touch - plates, bowls, cutlery, doors, clothes, vehicles, places, bus tickets, and you can get by day-to-day in a foreign country by already knowing wordlessly how to exist. Children don't know how to exist, and are continually asking, describing, or being told, the ways of daily life in their native language(s). Adults don't have that either.
One difference is that huge strides have been made in materials research. Boom advertises extensive use of carbon fiber, which was not available when the X-3 was designed/built.

I can't tell if this is a dig at the elaborate job titles we have today (Director of Creative, Employee Journey Advisor, Sales Engineer, Chief Happiness Officer, etc.) or progressive identity politics (pronouns, etc.). Perhaps they're not unrelated.
I suspect the lead-up to an election is like the Christmas season for political advertisers. So, it's hard to look at it as "few months of revenue" when in fact it might count for the majority.
It doesn't matter at all if Monty knows which doors are winners and losers.

If Monty doesn't know, then sometimes the game will be ruined because he will expose the grand prize and then the game is moot. But if is simply lucky by showing the goat door vs he picked it with foreknowledge doesn't change the odds in any way.
He's responding to another anecdote, demonstrating that any anecdote likely has a counter-anecdote. You should read the context of a thread before replying snarkily.
Electric vehicles are right at the bottom of the curve for "amount of money consumers are willing to spend for more energy per gram/ml".

Pretty much my vision. The largest reason I don't use Brave is because it's built on top of Chromium, and simply jumping on the Chromium train gives Google the ability to dictate the future of the internet. There needs to be a browser engine alternative, or alternatively, maybe we need to spin Chromium out of the Googleplex and let a free and open source group handle future development independent of the Ad overlords.
I sold computers and computer accessories at a big box store, and there was an HP rep that would sometimes hang out in the printer aisle to answer questions and evangelize HP printers. I remember he told me a story of how, when HP printers were built really solidly, the CEO had a meeting where he demonstrated this by standing on the printer, and it didn't budge. The takeaway to this wasn't, "Hey, we make a great product. Look at this!" It was, "Hey, we make too durable of a product. We should cut costs because this is costing too much!"
Letter to the US FDA About Chlorine Dioxide for Covid-19 and Other Diseases
POSIX.1 permits pthread_cleanup_push() and pthread_cleanup_pop() to
be implemented as macros that expand to text containing '{' and '}',
respectively.

I'm sorry, what? Why would you permit that?

On Linux, the pthread_cleanup_push() and pthread_cleanup_pop()
functions *are* implemented as macros that expand to text containing
'{' and '}', respectively. This means that variables declared within
the scope of paired calls to these functions will be visible within
only that scope.

Yeah, and people call me a joker. But I wouldn't manage to invent this even if I tried to.

Yeah, the first year of any new Tesla model is essentially a beta test. Most people won't have issues, but a few will.

The nature of manufacturing is that 1-in-1000 problems only show up after a few thousand have been manufactured.

I personally wouldn't buy a Model Y (or any new Tesla model) until the production line has been running for a year.

If you have power fantasies, may I interest you in the practice of martial arts instead? I know I am biased in favor of that, but I will try anyways.

If you want to learn and make others do your bidding, the first step is to learn how to do your own bidding: "cannot command until can do" and all that. It is very satisfying to be able to decide to do something and then just do it. Most people cannot do that. Most people do not realize they devote precious little of their time to do what they want to do, because they keep just running in the hamster wheel until they grow old and die.
That's how they're trying to make copyright work though. The protection being asserted here is over the "Structure, Sequence, and Organization" of the API.

I once got invited to lunch at the house of a German lady. So I said I would make an apple pie and take it for dessert.

The next day, she takes a look at it and says that that is not how you make apple pie and produces a pie that she had baked (and which she ate, ignoring the one I had taken).

I know... but for the vast majority of people, this is not an issue. You think the government doesn't know where you live, with all the other records out there? Tax preparation is a big business and is the real reason this hasn't been streamlined like it has in some other countries.
Sure, but your claim was that it's a bad headline, when in fact the headline is reflected in the article. You're shifting the goalposts.
