I’m just beginning a career, but from my limited experience, it’s already clear that the majority of people in the room for these kinds activities (on the paper, or on the team) are not contributing much. There’s usually a highly capable and productive minority. And often times the person benefitting the most is not the most capable/productive, but the most charismatic and savy. Maybe a more experienced person can assuage this budding cynical view.
The established death rate in the US is nowhere near 1.5%. Best current population IFR estimate is somewhere in the 0.6% range. That's bad enough, no need to exaggerate.

Now I have to ask, what kind of side project requires such a high quality sensor?
Docker can't run natively since it uses linux kernel features not available on a mac. Apple would need to do a lot of work first to make it happen.
rpm. If your systems are built around rpm already that alone is a good enough reason.
What makes it stand out is that in game this is the mission where the transformation of the protagonist from the normal person to killing machine begins. If you ever play the game, the contrast in dialogues from the opening scene and this scene can be actually felt by the player. The player themselves feel empowered after finishing this mission. Also the soundtrack in this particular mission hightens that feeling.
TL;DR: Play the game and you will definitely like it.
We have transitioned a few major silverlight based applications.

A conversion made no sense at all. What we ended up having to do (and in hindsight was absolutely the right decision), was creating a new application completely.

The best way to "transition" for Google with Flash would be to probably, similarly, just create a new application.
Docker obscures the implementation details. Part of this is by design: don't worry about the hard stuff, because Docker does it for you.

It's completely unsurprising that many folks haven't spent the time to dive into the internals. In many cases, because they don't need to.

Such is the nature of abstraction and higher level frameworks.
As I mention in my own comment, Winning Chess by Fred Reinfeld and Irving Chernev. BEST book I've encountered by far of the dozens I've owned.
I learned trig before I learned to program and the symbolic dexterity from trig was useful. I think kidz today will learn to program before they learn trig. I don't really have a point here.
> Scanning movie films used to be ridiculously expensive (and it shouldn't).

It was expensive because it was pushing the boundaries of what was possible.

the northlight (https://www.filmlight.ltd.uk/products/northlight/overview_nl...) which I had the pleasure of working with the prototype of is a spectacular machine.

Firstly it has really good registration, which means that in theory you should be able to scan the same film twice and it'll look exactly the same. Not only that its gentle, so you can scan really fragile stuff.

Add to that it over scans the living snot out of the film, plus an IR pass to get rid of the dust.

Also its not a square CCD, its a linear CCD that is scanned across the plate.

Entanglement on an optical atomic-clock transition
Unless Brave is forking Chromium, Google owns them. Google controls what gets merged into Chromium. Brave can talk the talk all they want, but they merely exist as a Chrome skin with crypto added in and a few privacy features included.

I know they are committed to supporting Manifest v2 (I think), but more and more decisions are going to have to be made where they differ from upstream Chromium. I have doubts this will be sustainable forever.
So far, I don't regret continuing to get my PhD in astrophysics. A lot of my classmates do. Caveat: my background was a lot less privileged than some of my classmates at Peyton and Jadwin hall.

Just imagine being naked and fight against a bull and casually grab his skin, in the meantime your buddy lays (naked too) on the ground and fears for his live, surrounded by peoples who have a discussion why you two are naked, and debating that it's no wonder that the one with the red towel was attacked first.
AMLO, our Mexican President, for some time had a picture of him working at his desk in the official presidency's website. Zooming in on the papers it was evident that they were printed Facebook pages. I couldn't find the image now, this was a year ago.
Wow, that was fast. I was expecting to wait unil January.

Key takeaway for me is the ability to run/build both x86 and Arm images on a M1.

Can't see any reason M1s can't be used for everyone at my work now. Very nice.
That;s a sad career.
My answer to the question he addressed, for the audience who first learned to program using OOP, is to move to a functional language and follow the books and tutorials for that language.

If the language in question does provide OOP features, these features (well implemented or not) are probably not going to be taught in the normal path of education for the language. Thus, you probably won't have to make an effort to avoid them.

Again, this suggestion is for the new to programming segment of people; so also assuming these are undergraduate or younger level, I wouldn't suggest something like Haskell. While it is probably an excellent language to learn as part of one's path to being a good developer, it might be a bit steep for someone new to programming.

Instead, I would choose F#, Clojure, or Elixir in that order. I would not choose Scala, because there's more of a chance that some early educational material would be from the OOP perspective.
That's terrible! All the salmon in the playground will die!
Last time I did a napkin math, cone size required for foveated rendering with current latency and framerate to match slew rate of human eyes basically equals to the whole FOV of typical headset that it’s pointless to implement.
So... you're complaining about him not spending the time to keep his tweets well organized? That... seems like a lot to expect.
This is not meant as an insult to you, but just as a warning that you should keep this in mind when you’re analyzing your own decision making; you are pretty clearly neither smart nor original. It’s very unlikely you are actually ever going to have any valuable original thoughts, at least in the way you seem to think you do.

I’m sure you’ll appreciate this since your profile is all about “radical honestly”. Taking Dalio seriously is another sign of a hopeless midwit with an inflated sense of intelligence.

In the discussed scenario, Bitcoin is more secure than a traditional currency.

The local regime cannot take your Bitcoins away from you, which it could by hyperinflation, reform etc with the traditional currency. In other words, the trust in the owner of the currency is in fact higher.

Local gangsters as well, cannot take your Bitcoins away from you as easily. You have a higher chance at keeping your stash.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll have to go back and check.

With Rust and WASM being funded and pushed by MS, Amazon, Google, Nature, and many others, I'm afraid you're dead wrong.
It's good to test drive that idea first. I took a bunch of long gaps between jobs (luckily and somewhat surprisingly no one really cared about that) and this allowed me to further refine what I like and don't like doing for extended periods of time, how I deal with lack of external pressure etc.

A lot of people have been working 9-5 jobs their whole life and that's all they know. They gradually start dreaming about ditching the job and being free to pursue hobbies, and after a couple of years this dream becomes their life goal. My advise is, if anyone wants to commit oneself to X years of misery in current job just to live that dream in the future, I recommend test-driving that dream first if you can. It's very possible that you'll end up missing job environment and will just want to switch jobs or careers or go part-time etc., which is an option available without the X years of grinding through misery first.

I remember seeing lines of cars on the news for people getting tests before Thanksgiving, and every clinic in my area being out of appointments for tests.

We knew people were going to see family for Thanksgiving, and people wanted to do be safe about it, but we didn't make it easy for them. I'll call out Fauci for not sounding the alarm on this one. He's mostly been preachy about what to do and what not to do. In September, he should have been pushing for cheap rapid tests behind the scenes. In November, he should have started saying "stay home if you can, but we know you're going to want to see family, so we made it super easy to get tested."

Fauci has basically been following the sex-ed abstinence script, and it's well-documented how well that works.

I don't suppose that any products that you use have unexpected impacts? Have you done the research?

It's silly to expect consumers to verify safety upfront. if products are shown to be toxic and alternatives exist, then you can start expecting consumers to choose the less toxic version.
Now compared to 1995, gaming in general seems a lot closer to the VR experience you describe. Local multiplayer is uncommon, shared gaming spaces like arcades and LANs are gone and people are playing games on their own devices alone.

It was pretty clear to me back in 2015-2016 that VR was going absolutely no where. All you had to do was try on any headset and evaluate it honestly.

The graphics sucked, the lag sucked, it gave some people nausea and others an unwanted sense of vertigo. Prices for high-end equipment were (and still are) ridiculous and unattainable for the mass market. Even if you could afford it, do you also own a space big enough to set it up? And if you did, was it convenient to have to be in that space to use it?

The premise of VR as a foundational technology is totally flawed. VR is for experiences that take you out of reality, but most people aren't looking for that on a daily basis. Entering VR is comparable to going to the movies: it's something to do once you've exhausted better options.

To those who say the technology can never get there, I disagree. The market will explode once the first real AR/MR device arrives. People won't care what it looks like or that it has a pervy camera if it's the most amazing piece of technology they've ever used. It will be like the first iPhone - an "Aha!" moment in amongst a sea of products that just don't get it. It won't require lighthouses or setup or spatial mapping or wires or the social isolation of being at home, it will just implicitly understand the world wherever you are and will be available to you when you need to use it. Like a phone in your pocket.

And I'm sure with the equivalent of a sleeping mask such a device would be VR capable as well.

It's coming, but it won't be a product from a startup (anyone remember Magic Leap?) and not for maybe 5-10 years.

How are the current generation Americans bound by what their ancestors did ? They can't do anything about it. Aren't they entitled to a good living standard as much as any other person ?
I honestly never had that problem. I did make constant changes to my setup, but that's the way it should be. Ten minutes one week, twenty minutes another, as I continued to eliminate issues. I've come to the realization that some have a problem with spending too much time on Emacs rather than on their work.

These days I use Geany as my primary editor for programming. Something that drives me crazy when I fire up VS Code is that it doesn't have a sidebar helping me to navigate the program (showing function names and such). I'm sure I could get it working that way, but that's not "out of the box" as is so often proclaimed.
Setting up my blog – why I opted for static content over a CMS
I disagree with this. How many people do you know that have been speaking English for years but still miss articles ('a', 'the')? It is still very easy to understand these people. We could say the same about tones, diction, and accents. Plenty of people that don't sound native can easily be understood. You'd actually be surprised how much you can butcher a language and still be able to communicate (this is really helpful to language learners!). There's so much fuzziness here that it I haven't seen any compiler (plugin, shell, etc) anywhere near this level of fuzziness.

Tldr: Compilers you need to be fairly precise, natural languages you barely need to be in the ball park.

It's funny, I had the opposite experience. VSCode felt like kind of a scattered mess of features that never quite pulled into a cohesive whole. Productivity arguments always made sense for editors like Intellij, where the suggestions border on psychic for Kotlin, but if I'm just wiring a bunch of disparate plugins together I might as well do it with a nice easy config file. Plus Vim has better Vim emulation ;)

Civilization Broke Our Brains
The title of this article has a sensationalist, clickbait quote at the beginning to make the strategy seem cold and malicious. But consider the logic:

> "Infants, kids, teens, young people, young adults, middle aged with no conditions etc. have zero to little risk….so we use them to develop herd…we want them infected…" Alexander added.

> "[I]t may be that it will be best if we open up and flood the zone and let the kids and young folk get infected" in order to get "natural immunity…natural exposure," Alexander wrote on July 24 to Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Stephen Hahn, Caputo and eight other senior officials. Caputo subsequently asked Alexander to research the idea, according to emails obtained by the House Oversight Committee's select subcommittee on coronavirus.

This seems like a good idea to me and I am surprised countries have gone into lockdown mode instead. The risk of severe illness and fatality are almost nonexistent for the young. If they develop antibodies and stop becoming vectors for transmission/spreading, it has two benefits. The first is that those who are willing to take on that risk are allowed to go about their lives as usual. Businesses can stay open, people can meet with each other, go to restaurants, etc. The second benefit is that once those cohorts develop immunity, it allows OTHERS to re-enter society, because others around them are less likely to be sources of transmission.

Personally I think retaining individual freedom is very important, and people should be able to assess for themselves what risks they are willing to take (what tradeoffs they are okay with). So I am for any strategy that means that those who are risk-averse just isolate themselves, while those who are OK with the risks can make their own choices freely.
That is not a good thing. RH frankenkernels can contain subtle breakage. E.g. the Go and Rust standard libraries needed to add workarounds because certain RH versions implemented copy_file_range in a manner that returns error codes inconsistent with the documented API because patches were only backported for some filesystems but not for others. These issues never occurred on mainline.

And for the same reasons that the affected users chose a "stable" and "supported" distro they were also unable to upgrade to one where the issue was fixed.

I look at my Windows 10 desktop and you know what? Everything is alien. Even Microsoft's own stuff doesn't feel native any longer. Every program I care about is based on some widget tookit/framework that isn't now and probably never will be whatever Microsoft is pushing this year, and Microsoft's own software spans some unknown number of GUI evolution phases as well.

I used to think there was value in being well aligned with the native Desktop UI. Now I don't really know what that is any more and I no longer really care. I care that a given application serves it purpose and the degree of an application's alignment with the latest native UI trend is well down on my list of concerns. Coping with the delta between applications is a small problem I try not to get hung up on.

The best 10 programming articles of the last 10 years
From your prespective how common are those types of roles in all industries as a whole?

There are interesting compiler roles but the vast majority who learn how to build a compiler never use it day to day work. Would you recommend spending more time building compilers to better compete for those few roles or would you recommend a different approach?
WSL1 using a minimal rootfs from any debian distribution (so you can apt install things you need), accessed with wsltty as Windows Terminal has many issues (but supports tabs if you can live with it). This gives the best results overall: compatibility (amd64 instead of mingw), flexibility (apt install) speed (powershell 1) especially if you mount and access a CHD for your own files instead of using the regular tree inside NTFS.

Also, if you really like powershell, use the linux version next to bash

You should also include the cost of running all of the world's central banks.

US Federal Reserve budget is about $5B. Assuming 328.5k BTC mined per year, no tx fees, $20k BTC value, and mining at break even, mining energy costs are about $6.57B. It seems like they're on the same order of magnitude.

In 1918, several American cities jailed people breaking quarantine or otherwise putting public health at risk. There has been zero such enforcement this time around. Public health powers are old, precedented and powerful. They are barely being used here.

I would support anonymizing the reporting. But requiring some kind of reporting is reasonable given the circumstances. There are too many people who would test positive and hide it, and that's a public health risk.
I'm assuming this involve upgrading the application often as well?

I pulled my neck last week and spent the weekend working, watching amazon prime and playing xbox cloud streaming flat on my back on a 10 foot virtual screen. I was working for multiple hours at a time reviewing programming specifications and taking notes. The display tech is pretty much there, even for text. Keyboard input is still unsolved, though I was using Office 365 dictation and that was working well for taking notes. This was on the Quest 2. The fresnel lenses are actually a bigger downside than the screen resolution, which is not retina, but still better than the 24" 1080p external display I use all day.
