I disagree. Law has significant barriers to entry and even after getting through qualification, your base credentials won't offer much mobility in terms of being able to move around to practice.

There aren't, to my knowledge, 12 week bootcamps for law out of which you can start practising in the field.

There aren't, to my knowledge, law schools popping up daily in India offering people courses with relatively low entry requirements, from which they can move to the US and start practising as a lawyer.

There aren't, to my knowledge, D&I proponents installed into law companies who spend their time fighting against the idea of hiring bars and requirements for the positions within the company. There aren't internal advocates saying to drop the requirement for a law degree for a legal job in the name of boosting diversity visibility.

The same can't be said about the overwhelming majority of tech jobs, but then tech workers have done literally nothing in the name of collectively protecting their profession so it's at least partially their own fault.
I don't see any mentioning that AMP is nowadays under the umbrella of the Linux foundation.

If it were just a vendor neutral technology that would probably OK. But with Google's dominance on the hosting side, that's not very good. Well, probably Google is one of the bigger funders of the Linux Foundation, so money goes over worries about anti-competitive behaviour.

Because generally speaking people enjoy living life and as a species that means socializing. Actions required to limit the spread of infectious airborne diseases are directly counter to that. Fostering global trade and free travel directly increase the spread of certain diseases but overall improve living standards. As a species our behavioral patterns have evolved to prioritize socialization & personal contact as more beneficial than disease risk, despite the impact of even more deadly diseases historically (e.g. black plague in Europe killed 1/10 people for hundreds of years in europe).

A fair assessment for an MVP in the US, but you fail to scale globally if your site is bloated as not all countries and territories have the access to data at low cost the US has. Definitely worth it to optimize and reduce bloat after establishing your product's place in the market (or develop from the get-go with reducing bloat in mind).

The worst things people do in collaborative work or management are always explained by "well, X is objective and easy to measure, so it's our target".

I don't think anyone would disagree with either statement. The point is Intel can't get TL on a small node, and not for lack of trying. They eventually will, of course, but there is an organizational sickness at Intel that has crippled them.
1. Not everyone in the world has a fast internet connection, or even a reliable one. Smaller pages have a better chance of making it through congestion or physical layer problems.

2. Even when speed is not an issue, many people are billed by the megabyte. My phone's data plan for example. I almost never use it for anything more than email and a handful of very trusted sites.
Exactly. Walles garden would be requiring publishers to send articles directly to Google if they want to enable instant loading (like Apple News). Instead, publishers publish their articles publicly in a way that Google's competitors can and do consume.

> The suggestion that you make here is that when the telescope was funded in the 1950s, our national leadership identified itself less strongly as a capitalist free-market nation than it does today.

Those terms don't have a consistent meaning. What was considered typical "capitalist free-market" thinking then is not typical "capitalist free-market" thinking now. For instance: Atlas Shrugged was only published in 1957 and Friedman's Capitalism and Freedom in 1963, and it took until the 1980s for those ideas to start to have wide influence in popular culture and government.
Great story! I've had a lot of debugging nightmares, but thankfully never anything as bad as that.

One thing that looks fishy is this branch:

if (container_tasks_len == max_container_tasks) {
printk("cplayground: ERROR: container_tasks list hit capacity! We "
"may be missing processes from the procfile output.\n");
break;
}

Since you said printk can block, why isn't calling it in the rcu critical section a bug? Is it because you immediately break afterwards and don't try to reference the next task?
Sadly their new UI is unusable on Android TV (nvidia Shield)
The author fails to mention that many message boards were built on various forum software, both open-sourced and not. Many were installed and never maintained, leaving them exposed to hackers. Moving the discourse to places like Reddit alleviated the need for maintenance (and moderation).
I think this kind of advice is a symptom of the real issue. Which is that when you think you can’t do something your brain is often lying to you. You want to be lazy and find a way around the problem, but often you can complete the task, it is just challenging and thus parts of your brain wish to avoid it. The solution for me is to identify that my brain is lying to me and doing the things it tells me I can’t do. Alternatively sometimes this manifests as fear and all I have to do is to follow my fear.

> "for any given mass added to the hole after all those things are taken into account, there are many different possible combinations of objects falling into the hole that can add that mass."

Approximately, sure, best scales can do around 5 significant digits and null measurements can get us few more digits. But we can't verify equality of mass to arbitrary precision. For elementary particles of same kind, we can assume their masses are the same. But there is infinity of digits available. Perhaps there are no two differently composed bodies that have the same real number as mass (too many options to be different). Then maybe any mass addition to mass of the black hole can encode all the information there is about the body.
Would it be useful to 'cross-post' these questions and answers?

If you get a solution in one place type up a summary and post it in the other(s) so that the knowledge is spread around a bit.
Using EntityFramework Core and SQLite with Xamarin Forms
You can do most or all of that by reading /proc/<pid>/fdinfo/<fd> and /proc/<pid>/fd/<fd> or by making system calls on the affected fds (which you can do e.g. by injecting code with LD_PRELOAD or ptrace or with nsenter with fd namespace or equivalent C code).

Even if you write a kernel driver, iterating over all tasks in the system is a terrible design (there may be millions), not to mention "determining if a task belongs to a C playground program" in the kernel (obviously the kernel should have no knowledge about such specifics).

Of course, if a developer cannot even produce a reasonable overall design, it's not surprising that they aren't capable of writing correct code.

The difference between this and ESB is that the service bus wasn't just a communications channel like rabbitmq. The ESB would process the messages and make decisions and kick off other actions based on the messages. It was a central coordinator of message handling. Very enterprisey.

I think the usage of advanced didn't merely mean alive, but changing and growing. A membership org I help with their IT needs has come to realize that the member email lists have become moribund, and so we've been discussing forums... but the look of a lot of older forum software has become fixed in time and turned people off -- Discourse caught more interest than anything else I showed them.

Egui: Experimental immediate mode GUI library written in Rust
This is not my read of the article at all. It says right at the top it's about standardizing a heterogenous environment of many services implemented in many languages. The features themselves are not the point, it's the standardization and isolation from service failure at the application process layer which is the real value add.
I’m sorry to keep coming back for more info, but can you please give a concrete example of this and how it prevents you from being able to do your job well? I haven’t experienced middle management thought police so I’m curious what your experience is here.

Why not simply require education and completion of some exam? (And no, a college degree is not necessary nor what I'm talking about)

That would serve the goal of keeping the clueless from getting scammed, while also eliminating the kind of legalized classism (and I'd argue, unconstitutional on its face by way of the equal protection clause) that accreditation status represents.
I sympathize with people who want to see a technological basis for this, I really do. I just don't buy it. We just saw a press conference an hour ago by the executive office of the most powerful nation in the world allege with a straight face that the recent election was tainted by Canadian election machines running malicious software written by Venezuela, Cuba, "likely" China, and directed by George Soros and (from the grave -- I swear I'm not making this up) Hugo Chavez. And obviously evidence was provided for none of this.

People are going to believe that. LOTS of people are going to believe that. And it's not because of "information overload". It's just a lie. It's a lie that (1) is tempting for people to believe and (2) that someone is willing to tell.

The internet didn't make our brains more susceptible to fake news. It just made our leaders (some of them) more able to get away with lies.
> have the access to data at low cost the US has

I don't know where you heard that, the US has some of the most expensive and slowest Internet access in the developed world.

It is fixable by attacking the root of the problem – online advertising. Pass strong user privacy laws, ban fingerprinting/tracking across the board, make advertiser disclosures/"paid news" labels mandatory, significantly increase (and enforce) penalties for data breaches. Now sites are still allowed to generate as much click-bait as they want, but the incentive to do so is greatly reduced.
Consider the scenario where right from the start they accepted the shortcomings of their system for this use-case.
I have explained why Occam's razor is not a simplistic and subjective matter of preferring simple solutions, and your only response to that is to keep saying I'm wrong, without saying why. That is one factor in keeping this discussion going. The other thing was your insistence that your "gravity might fail" scenario is a relevant analogy; at least you did not continue pushing that view in your latest post.

>> Hossenfelder's argument is that there are many equally plausible (and equally speculative) ways

> This is just not true. Most of the resolutions of the past required new conjectures like EP=EPR, whereas recent solutions rely on newer sort of uses of a path integral, but are still built up from basic QFT+GR.

As far as I can tell, what I wrote here seems to reflect what Hossenfelder is saying in the article. Here, for the first time, you seem to be making a reasonable argument that the specific hypotheses are not, in fact, all alike, and that they may differ in a way that at least opens up the possibility of applying Occam's razor correctly - i.e. by rejecting any that make unnecessarily broad or strong assumptions.

This brings us to Hossenfelder's follow-on point: we're going to need more data in order to figure out which, if any, is correct [1]. Without more data, neither Occam's razor nor any other principle (and certainly not subjective simplicity) is sufficient to do this - the most you can do is have a preference, based possibly on which you think is least likely to run into problems with Occam's razor. That's not enough to turn a hypothesis into a theory.

This is the point that you started this thread by objecting to, and I do not think you have yet made a strong enough case to overthrow it, though you are now making better arguments than before.

[1] I'm not sure about Hossenfelder's apparent claim that this data can only come from observing black-hole decay, but that's a separate matter.

Well, the signs on the road are intended to be government propaganda, whereas journalism is supposed be more neutral fact reporting.

I went with the alcoholism analogy because it is a health issue, like covid is. They both have somewhat unknown triggers, mostly genetic, and actions can initiate the problem actions but not ultimately determine the problem will occur. The analogy you are using is mostly decision based, and not based on genetics or health.
Thank you for the heads-up!

I try to write code loose enough that this would not be a problem. :)
It comes from the limitations of some early pre-standard C compilers. It was fairly common to use fixed-length arrays, to avoid heap allocations for perf and memory usage reasons. This included identifiers; but then you had to decide on the maximum size - since most identifiers would be fairly short anyway, so a large array would be wasted space.

Since the first edition of ANSI/ISO C was trying to codify the already-existing common practices for maximum portability, it reflects those existing limits (5.2.4.1 "Translation limits"):

"The implementation shall be able to translate and execute at least one program that contains
at least one instance of every one of the following limits:

...

31 significant initial characters in an internal identifier or a macro name

6 significant initial characters in an external identifier"

If you look at many abbreviated function names from the C stdlib, they are specifically 6 characters long - strcpy etc. I wouldn't be surprised if the 6-char external identifier limit goes all the way back to the first K&R C compilers.
I feel the discussion about consistency is moot because, in my experience, linters often have a different idea about consistency than humans.

Let's say I have the following three methods:

def foo
if broken?
:error
else
@x
end
end

def bar
if broken?
5
else
@y
end
end

def qux
if broken?
nil
else
@z
end
end

If Rubocop forces me to reformat the last method as a one-liner because nil is returned implicitly, is this really more consistent (because it follows Rubocop's predictable rules)? Or is it less consistent (because these functions lose their common structure)?

> However, printk can block (while allocating memory)

No, printk() is magic. It can be called even in NMI context, which is a worse place. Quoting https://lwn.net/Articles/800946/, "[...] kernel code must be able to call printk() from any context. Calls from atomic context prevent it from blocking; calls from non-maskable interrupts (NMIs) can even rule out the use of spinlocks. [...]"
>Laws restricting investment should be about promoting investment diversity, and restricting risk concentration.

I thought they updated the law recently (or at least considered doing so) to allow non-accredited investors to invest in such enterprises, so long as it was a small amount, thus satisfying that (better) desideratum?

Though I can't seem to find it easily from googling.

It's all how you look at it. The devil is in the detail. What does "good polished software" really mean? Is it code that is understandable, efficient, and reusable ... or does it mean trying to achieve some personal ideal of perfect software.

Does refactoring provide a business advantage or just a pathway to attempting code perfection?

If you are in it for the art, then you need to find that shop that is in it for the art. Many aren't. I'm sure some are.

If you are in it for providing outstanding code because it provides personal satisfaction or meets your world view, then great. It sounds like you need to find a way to provide what you want to provide in a timeframe that is almost as quick as the alternative.

If you want to achieve personnel perfection and can't find a way to be almost quick at delivering a viable product as the alternative, then either you change, accept it, or move on.

You sound like you are competent and have a world view. I would figure out ways to speed up your output (through templates or language choices that match who you are). If your code is great and you develop it fast, the people who are rushing you won't have a leg to stand on.

If you are good, you can have it all.

I totally believe that the vast majority of page views are from channel surfing (or bots), but have a hard time believing that has any correlation to actual purchases.

If I'm spending an hour's pay on something I really want, of course I'll wait 10 seconds for the page to load, or if I can't get it to load at all, I'll make a note to try again later from different browser or internet connection. I'll manually enter my address details if they didn't auto-fill properly. I'll respond to emails on what I want to declare for customs, and various other efforts.

I, and people I know, feel like we buy very little on a whim. Is that unique? Are there whales who buy everything you can put in front of their face, or a different demographic who searches for something to buy and then changes their mind in precisely 850 milliseconds?

I would accept that like candy in the checkout lane, the profit is small but worth more than the extra effort it takes to put the offering there, but the revenue is small compared to the actual stuff people need to buy, but the analytics that suggest that hundreds of people click a link to your page but most close it faster than you can read the headline just seem unbelievable.

I actually prefer the way YTM segments my uploads from the general catalog, as it gives me some possibly unfounded confidence in the idea that I'm going to be listening to the edition I expect, and not something like a 20th anniversary re-release with 15 extra tracks. GPM has this really bad problem where their treatment of my uploads was seriously broken and I would see, just as one example, multiple copies of every track on one album. I don't see this since the YTM conversion.
