Software Quality in 2011 (2011)
Right. Where I'm from, lack of punctuation and capitalization indicates less serious discussion, irony, sarcasm, etc. A non-serious "mood". If someone starts using correct grammar (e.g. I instead of i, periods, commas for introductory phrases and splices) it's an indication of the serious "mood" and to start a more thoughtful discussion.

It's probably a good idea to tell people this instead of just assuming everyone knows... but it's kind of engrained in the culture of the communities I'm in.

One can't buy a house in California, at least, without being given a "statutory natural hazards disclosure"[1] and signing multiple documents certifying that you've read it. It includes detailed maps about flood and fire risk. You can also order a report for a rental property for a nominal fee.[2]

Yeah, my TurboGrafx just sat in a box in a closet for a few years. Worked fine when I put it in there, last time I took it out to try it, it just wouldn't turn on at all.
The main difference is that Temporal is using general-purpose programming languages to implement workflow code. This gives developers unlimited flexibility and doesn't require learning a new specialized language just to add resiliency to their program. Some other benefits of using programming language instead of XML/JSON based language:

* Strongly typed (for languages like Java or Go)

* Uses standard error handling of the language of choice. For example, Java SDK throws exceptions, and Go one returns errors.

* Use standard tools for development like IDEs, Debuggers, Linters, Unit Testing frameworks, etc.

* Allows using the same language for both activities and workflows.

* Allows programs of practically unlimited complexity through standard programming language techniques like OO, functions, etc.

* Easily supports handling of asynchronous events

* Supports updating definitions of already running workflows

* Allows reuse of standard libraries. For example, if workflow needs to keep a state in a priority queue, it can use an existing one.

My personal opinion that BPMN tries to cater to two distinct groups of people. Non-technical domain experts and software developers. And it is essentially a compromise that cannot serve both of them well. Non-technical domain experts still cannot implement production-ready workflows, and developers have to use limited complicated UI/XML-based technology that is inferior to the programming languages and environments they are used to.
The Temporal approach gives developers the best tool for their job and lets them decide how to interact with non-technical users. In some domains, it is possible to create DSL for non-technical users to use. Temporal is an excellent technology for implementing such domain-specific languages. BPMN's problem is that it is not domain specific and tries to serve as a general-purpose language without being one.
>Slack isn't Tinder.

Heh, my Slack messages are way more casual than Tinder messages. I think the essential difference is I just met someone who I'm talking to on Tinder (hopefully :D), while on Slack I'm probably talking to someone I've known for years; it's fundamentally more casual.

Could you explain this more because it's completely foreign to me. For me a period is the end of a sentence. It has nothing to do with ending the message I'm trying to get across. Is this a cultural or generational or professional field difference? I'd never heard of the idea that a period would be too formal in any context.
Amazing idea.

Not sure how well this can work without a game client though. I'd love a hybrid where you play a video game of sorts , but a DM is actually running it .
It's pretty easy to determine if a player "is* an engine, and all the moves are computer generated. Where it gets difficult is more subtle cheating.

It's much simpler than that. Every chess move has an accuracy score where 100% means that it is optimal play according to the top chess engine(which can easily beat any human). Anyone with an abnormally high accuracy is a cheater. Anyone with a high accuracy simply needs to verify who they are a la twitter style.

Open-source software has made it easier for software developers to study and learn programming by looking at real-world working software. But what about software design? Building architects (not software) study thousands of buildings in their training and career. Software developers, in contrast, only study a handful of other large software designs. This means we repeat mistakes that we would have been able to avoid, should we be able to learn from others. In the world where the majority of large real-world programs are closed-source, opening up our software design documentation is the least we can do to contribute back to the community, and we'd like to see more people opening theirs up!

>Most home buyers waive inspection contingencies

Most inspections are "pay us <stupid_number> to point out the obvious and we don't include <list of anything that requires more than just walking around the house eyeballing things to determine> and our liability limited to <price of inspection>". It's no surprise people wave them.
Most visual artists today do not have programming skills. It's a small minority of people in any studio who can code.

But that's largely why I created the course (at the bottom of the posts). I had a lot of artists asking to learn to code, and it was easier to make the course than to do it 1:1 with each of them.

With regards to pay and attention, people who can code are definitely more stable in regards to their careers. They are more likely to be kept on after projects, and generally have greater demand.

The downside is you'll have less attention than artists. You're not really creating the final imagery, so you're a bit in the background. That means you will be better off in the early and middle parts of a career, but it's harder to make it to the really high end jobs like Visual effects supervisors etc...however that's usually 10-15 years into someones career as an artist, and only for a select few, so it's not really a negative IMHO. Though on the flip side, it's easy to jump to traditional tech roles as well, if you find you are hitting a ceiling.

On top of what I said in my earlier comment, I would say "simplicity". We looked at existing freelance platforms and 3D marketplaces. A lot of them were cluttered and the process of ordering an item to be printed was too cumbersome.

Our platform is designed for one specific purpose - find someone to 3D print your ideas - so the entire UX was created with that in mind.

We also try to keep things "peer to peer" as much as we can: you speak to the creators themselves, not some intermediate party. As a creator you choose what to work on and you price the projects yourself.

Facts in support of the laptop being genuine:

- The laptop had emails on it that were previously not public

- The laptop had pictures of Hunter and family that were previously not public

- They have Hunter's signature on the drop off receipt

- Hunter's attorney requested the hard drive back (they have the request in writing)

- The FBI subpeonaed the laptop

- The DNI himself says it's not a Russian disinformation campaign and that there's not intelligence saying it is

- No one in the Biden campaign has denied the laptop itself is genuine (only that they couldn't find a meeting on the books that matches the one in the email)

Facts in support of the laptop coming from Vladimir Putin:

By the way, he guy at the computer store came forward as to why he got in contact with Rudy Giuliani. He went to the FBI with the info and got stonewalled by them. Sensing they were covering it up, he decided to become a whistleblower and went to whoever would listen.
>listen to linguist McWhorter explaining that people should think of texting (or Slack) as "transcribed informal speech" -- instead of formal writing.[1]

I can't watch the video right now, but even in informal speech, I hear periods and commas. I think that those are necessary for communication. Not including them, as I mention in another comment above (or below?), induces a cognitive load on the reader. Nobody should be asking for perfection on Slack, but mostly correct should be the bar.

Persuasion for Product Managers
Rewarding miners for reserved but unused capacity is an explicit feature of Filecoin that I guess is intended to build up capacity in advance of customer need. These miners just did what Protocol Labs told them to do.
I completely agree, using 'reduce' can make code hard to figure out. I'm very guilty of this myself, e.g. I've written a bunch of hacky mess which roughly follows this template:

snd (reduce (FOO, BAR) go BAZ)
where go (x, y) elem = (FIZZ x y elem, BUZZ x y elem)

This usually starts out as a 'map'; then I find myself needing to append or discard some elements so I change it to a 'reduce'; then I find myself needing to propagate some info across calls, so I pair this on to the accumulator and discard it at the end. The end result is a sequential computation with mutable state; hardly a 'functional pearl'!

My point above was that we can't forbid 'reduce'; since it's a fallback when our calculation doesn't follow an established pattern; and that it's often useful to codify that pattern into a nice, generic function (using 'reduce'), and use that new pattern in our application code.

> Obviously, the purpose of before/after is to produce a visual effect; then why produce pseudo-content if CSS is oh-so-great a language for presentation?

Because sometimes the best way to style something is by using a character (bullet points, arrows, ...). Example: you could add a symbol to URLs by giving <a> a slight padding on the left and by adding an image showing an URL symbol. But by using &#x1f517; in a:before, you cheaply get vector graphics, and a symbol which (in a perfect world) will always match the font.

Correct. The ability to determine distance and velocity allows the trajectory and dynamics of the instrument to be computed with high precision.

To see one application of this information, look for discussions of the "Pioneer Anomaly". That particular effect is now understood, but had it held up to detailed systematic-effect analysis, it would have affected our understanding of gravitation on solar-system scales.

When one enters entirely new territory, the understanding derived from single reliable measurements can be quite substantial.
I feel like people complaining about this didn't grow up in the IRC/IM era. It probably depends on your corp's culture as well, but for us, Slack is a very informal communcation mechanism. If you need to write something formal, you use an email. Slack is equivalent to shouting out to the room (as if you were there in person).

I don't know Swift at all. But I know what progressive disclosure is. Could you explain a bit what you mean for a programming language to have progressive disclosure, and how specifically Swift does that?
I concur, when people refer to bad quality ikea furniture they invariably mean the particle board stuff. Anything made of solid wood or metal has held up well for me.

As opposed to what? Using the OS's trust store? Getting the user to manually trust CAs?
To be clear, I am in complete agreement with every point you've made explicitly in this thread. What I do not agree with is the following implicit claim:

An HTML file cannot be a Quine because an HTML file is not a program because HTML is not Turing Complete.
Maybe that's your experience if you go with your Realtor's "suggested" inspector. Again, most home buyers probably just go this route since no one really cares about quality any more.

I researched my own inspector and chose a very technical retired engineer. He identified significant issues with the home that resulted in the price being reduced by 15%. You're an idiot if you waive inspections.
Real estate agent here, can confirm inspection contingencies are very much so a market and individual house decision. I'd also say it depends a lot on the buyer. For example - first time buyer, I'd always encourage them to do an inspection as they are going to learn a lot about being a homeowner from the experience. Someone who has a number of investment properties and knows houses inside and out? They might be able to get all the info they need with just a walk-through.

As I understand it, in competitive urban markets it has become common for sellers to do a pre-inspection and then sell / provide that info for interested parties. This potentially makes for a faster sale and may create a more competitive situation if more potential buyers see less risk in the condition of the house and are willing to make an offer. But, at least in my state, anything a seller learns about the condition of their home must be disclosed so this could also backfire.

Any time you can remove a contingency in a competitive situation it will be a potential advantage, but caveat emptor all day long - sellers seldom have a complete understanding of their home and property so it is to the buyer's best interest to do everything they can to inform themselves before completing the purchase.
For folks discovering this: Unfortunately, this isn’t a good idea, and can seriously harm your system.

I’ll be the first to tell you that I believe Google and Mozilla have done a lot for supervising TLS, but realize that the trust stores contain many other non-TLS purposes, and with the CAs constrained from TLS issuance (e.g. only trust for S/MIME).

CryptoAPI, for its warts, is actually beautifully engineered, in that Microsoft has had the ability to add arbitrary constraints and properties to certificates from the very first release (via CERT_PROP_IDs). You don’t really see these in the UI; you only find out about them in WinCrypt.h, or via debugger stepping. However, it means that even if the UI is showing “trusted for TLS”, Microsoft may have disabled trust for TLS via the extended properties, which their APIs respect, and which are delivered through authroots.cab

You can see a little bit about this at https://github.com/crtsh/certwatch_db/issues/69 and http://unmitigatedrisk.com/?p=259

Approaches like the OP link fail to take that into consideration, and can easily break core OS services, non-TLS cases like code signing or S/MIME, or even reintroduce trust in CAs that Microsoft has programmatically disabled.

It's not easy. I would like very much to be normal, feel normal and enjoy normal things. I still have hope that someday I will. I still find myself envying people who do not have to deal with the stuff I deal with.

As for dealing with it, meditation, medication, and moderation. Also having family and friends who are supportive of you is helpful as well.

I think there is a very good reason to think machine learning and human learning are connected. First, I’d say it’s largely true the people who have made the most impact in the former have all studied the way the mind works (as far as science allows), and tried to emulate that in machinery. Second, experimentally the phenomena observed are increasingly similar (deep dream, for example).
> For example, if you ask a computer to print("I am so stupid") two-hundred times, it will do so without complaining, and complete the task in a fraction of a second. Ask a human, and you’ll need to wait for hours to get the job done…

In a minute I can do 10 `print("I am so stupid")`. So I would say 30 minutes is a more reasonable timeframe for a human.

There was international pressure to remove Shokin for precisely the _opposite_ reason that you cite. It was because he was _not_ going after Biden's son's employer forcefully enough.

> In 2015, Shokin became the prosecutor general, inheriting the investigation. The Obama administration and other governments and non-governmental organizations soon became concerned that Shokin was not adequately pursuing corruption in Ukraine, was protecting the political elite, and was regarded as "an obstacle to anti-corruption efforts".[24] Among other issues, he was slow-walking the investigation into Zlochevsky and Burisma and, according to Zlochevsky's allies, using the threat of prosecution to try to solicit bribes from Mr. Zlochevsky and his team – to the extent that Obama officials were considering launching their own criminal investigation into the company for possible money laundering.[38]

When you're new to a job everyone expects you to ask a million questions and not know what internal acronyms mean (although it would also be nice if they were documented). It'd be suspicious if a new employee didn't ask enough questions. It may be uncomfortable but you should never feel bad about it.

I personally start to struggle with this after the first year when the grace period to ask "stupid" questions is over.
