The issue is that the biggest evangelists and the CEO's and CFO's and CTO's with paid google accounts (which at that level you want so you can have some confidence in service) can't get their calendars on their home devices. So it's not an issue of multiple accounts, but paid accounts not working.

I didn’t know about Walmart’s innovation labs til recently. Might not be as innovative as I think, but it certainly changed the way I view them.
But the degree to which this is possible is new. Manual human surveillance certainly existed before CCTV, but automated surveillance at scale brings new implications that didn’t exist before.
I grew up with the standard piano lessons as a kid, dabbled with guitar, but never really got competent at anything. Assumed I was not musical. Until picking up a banjo about 7 years ago.

Some music is about performance, but that requires a level of dedication I don't have. Bluegrass is music designed for a bunch of people to get together and have fun. Some friends of mine picked up guitar, upright bass, mandolin, washboard... and suddenly we were meeting a couple times a week just to play and have fun. It was never a grind.

Child, startup, moving away from my bandmates, and covid got in the way so I'm out of practice, but I'm really looking forward to getting back to it when life returns to "normal".

I guess what I'm saying is - maybe you were playing the wrong music? There are lots of music genres that seem to focus more on fun than grind. Classical violin probably isn't one of them. Old-time fiddle on the other hand...

> I know that if one really believes in evolution, there is absolutely no reason to "conserve a species". It makes absolutely no sense. Species come and go. Whatever species remain will evolve to acquire characteristics suitable for whatever changes happen... or perish. So why does everyone believe in conservation and in evolution? Because they don't. But what if they believed in Noah's arc? It would be terrible if one of the species that Noah himself picked to be on a boat were to go extinct because humans did something, wouldn't it? That is exactly the reaction you see from all these westerners who allegedly "believe" in evolution.

The reason to conserve a species is because a biodiverse ecology is healthier. There is more competition so any organism (such as a disease-causing bacteria) is less able to cause a pandemic. Monocultures are susceptible to all sorts of problems that diverse ecologies are not.

How this interplays with evolution is that humans are in the position of unintentionally changing the environment drastically so that many species are now 'unfit.' This is because evolution is descriptive, not prescriptive. It doesn't tell you anything is good or bad about 'fitness.' Fitness always refers to an environment. Given another environment, something else would be more fit to survive.

Conservation relies on an understanding of human power over the environment and a desire to maintain an environment that doesn't succumb to the same problems we see with monocultures.

Remote work is a great idea but permanent remote work requires a lot more officification of the home. It is great if you're single or have a large house with attendants. It breaks down when there are kids screaming in the background or pets barking or a washing machine spinning.
Your comment is incorrect. It was their wages that were stolen that we're discussing.
The maximum safe dosage of Tylenol is 4000mg; an extra-strength pill is 500mg, and a normal dose is 2 pills, meaning the dose you'd have to take to push the danger zone is 400% over the normal dose.

> My first decade in the US was all about climbing out of the pit of “you’re not white enough for us because you didn’t go to a top school”.

I likely do not understand what you mean here, because a casual reading of this seems ridiculous. Most white people do not go to top schools either.

On the flip side, if one were to list factors that play a role in becoming decently successful, going to a top school is fairly low on that list (as in most successful people didn't go to one either).

I'm probably not interpreting the comment as you intended, though.
> Video games are more likely to give you real world skills. As more and more of the world moves online, skills that you pick up trying to get games to work or trying to make them run faster can be valuable. Online etiquette is another thing you tend to learn (hopefully, instead of just being toxic).

This is begging the question more than a statement of real fact. What about magical combat against imaginary enemies, opening treasure chests, and completing collectibles is valuable in the real world? At least learning to play a musical instrument is actually doable in the real world.

One might argue that video games can teach someone to solve puzzles or to strategize towards an end when given a set of strengths and weaknesses, but if you really wanted usable critical thinking out of puzzles, you'd be better off grinding away at LeetCode and HackerRank. Strategizing towards any end requires the specificity of the context, too, and the world in video games is often very far from real.

And besides, if you really believe in video games--are you willing to raise a child to spend his youth and energy on video games instead of learning new skills?
Interestingly I have found the various Prime Video apps to consistently be the worst in terms of UI and performance. I imagine Amazon as a company also takes engineering and infrastructure seriously, but the results don't show it.

HBO, Disney, Hulu, Apple etc. are all somewhere in the middle, and yes Netflix is FAR ahead of the pack.

I’m still new to it but the concept is fascinating. Advocates point out that most plants are inedible while most animals are edible. Also, all of the nutrients required by the human body are present in animals, if you eat their organs. There is a small amount of vitamin c in animal meats, but it turns out you only need large amounts of vitamin c if you are metabolizing mostly carbohydrates. Compare this to the heavy supplementation required on a vegan diet, it seems a lot more likely that our bodies are designed to eat animals. There are massive holes in the studies that connect meat with colon cancer and other diseases — it turns out there isn’t a single randomized, controlled study that looks at that.
It was previously discussed here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25233554 but I can't find the primary source linked anywhere.
So is this why they are so wide spread and a pest? Squirrels are much rarer in Europe. Like you only see them in the forest rare and they are orange.

The black/grey squirrels here are a real problem for backyard gardeners. Like they will pretty much steal every fruit tree bare.
Evil enough that new mocks should be banned by fiat and enforced by code that requires rarely granted permission to override against projects that are 5 years old and already have hundreds of them in place and do not have architectures that support better ways of testing?

It might be a nice thing to avoid them, but you're always working with legacy code, and I've literally had "I need to add a button to accept new permissions" blow up into "I need to refactor our entire class structure across 200 files because I'm not allowed to add a new test that follows our old patterns nor commit this code without coverage, and oh yeah, nobody wants to review that CL in one go so I have to figure out how to break it into 20 bite sized changes. There goes my quarter...". That's just dumb, and that type of dumb is very fashionable at Google.
I was at Microsoft around the time of Eric’s departure (I left a few months before him).

Ironically, the two men arguably most responsible for the success of the Xbox were strongly opposed to the entire “Manhattan” project at the time.

Eric was instrumental in the DirectX runtime design that Microsoft ended up porting to the original Xbox hardware with shared high level components.

The other guy was Dave Cutler, who led the NT and hypervisor groups at the time. Xbox v1 borrowed heavily from Dave’s work on modular, stable-userspace NT. 360 was basically running a full-fledged NT iirc. Dave, like Eric, hated the Xbox project early on.

In today’s terms, it would be like Facebook deciding to make a search engine or mobile OS, so their reactions were hardly surprising. Word was that even BillG was hesitant, but Ballmer really wanted more product lines.

Eric will be dearly missed.
Maybe these bugs involved English speaking devs copy and pasting out of spreadsheets.
I really think it has to do with how some places are laid out. When I visited New Orleans the experience was similar to the Paris description in many ways, because the french quarter had like no ventilation with the narrow streets and just reeked of trash and rotting seafood due to all the haphazard dumpster locations in that part of the city. Just poorly laid out and it absolutely reeked, especially when the humidity just lingered in the air.
Take both to help not overdo the dosing on either. While tylenol can be bad for the liver, like someone else said ibuprofen can wreak havok on your GI system. That's not all -- it can stain or injure your renal system if you overdose it. Tylenol overdoses, if caught in time, can be mitigated by acetylcysteine (as an antidote). I am unaware of any such equivalent for ibuprofen besides dialysis (usually if it gets concentrated enough to cross the blood-brain barrier).
That's crummy you didn't get at least a small rx for narcotics for the first few days - there is a time and place for them. Don't forget to make sure the chest pain is not preventing adequate respirations.

I didn't say they _have_ to use a walled garden; I'm claiming that they know how lucrative that approach is and how submissive their consumer base is, and so are likely to choose that path to pad their revenue.

>They all moved to the Bay Area didn't they? And they left behind people that didn't.

No, they didn't. Some moved here by choice, others had no choice but to move where opportunities are, and many were born here as a consequence of their parents being here.

The latter point is of particular note. It is not at all uncommon for first-generation Americans to be torn between their parent's ideologies, values, and culture, and those of the rest of the population. The result is a unique perspective, or put another way, "diversity of thought" regarding many issues.

Anyway, I appreciate the conversation.

Let's assume this is a case of state sponsored attack.
If I was in charge of organising such an attack, I would make sure my employer would be on top of the list of victims. Would not do any actual damage to steal my own information and would tremendously help with attributing the attack to my enemy.
I don't think I would be considered a "success" under this model as I never passed a tough interview and currently work at company you will never hear of. I simply have no desire to justify my skills by talking others down and pretending I'm too good for companies that reject me.

I'm not sure how this is a valid rebuttal to my comment since it addresses none of the point I made. Do you really think the secret sauce to getting into highly competitive jobs is by incoherently speed running through algorithm questions?
they're not a userspace construct in any meaningful way. libutils/Thread (capital-T Thread) is a thin wrapper around pthread_t, and most Android code uses pthread_t directly. what this hit is probably a bug related to timerslack_ns--there's some code to tweak timerslack values on a per-thread basis instead of a per-process basis even though audio should never be coming from processes low enough on the importance list to get a high timerslack value--but L bugs fixed in M are before my time.

The Italian ones are nice, as are the UK ones (if a bit cramped). The Nightjets mentioned in the article (mostly taken over from DB's CityNightLine a few years ago) are variable; the Poland-Ukraine one is pleasant enough but poorly timed. I had a pretty bad time on a Hungarian Railways one. The Russian Railways ones from Paris and Nice to Moscow have a reputation for luxurious looks but bad (or at least not westerner-friendly) food.
>The new features people ask for never seem to line up with the layers in your code.

This has been my biggest objection to many tutorials, videos, and books on OO, architecture, and patterns: They're useful for greenfield code, but so often in large systems, they are nearly impossible of implementation.

The trouble, of course, is that it's nearly impossible to teach how to do these things inside large codebases that are layered in ways that don't align with the intended change.

Consider that other than Michael Feathers' book, there are few, if any, good books on maintaining code. And so we all struggle, and code becomes progressively more imperative and less coherent.

Smoke a cigar every hour and you will be addicted too. I've gotten addicted separately on different forms and it is all the same. Fine in moderation (like a cig or a dip a day), but once you start ramping up beyond a certain baseline you will get a hell of a headache trying to claw it back. Feels exactly the same as a heavy caffeine addiction but it hits a half hour after the nicotine when its bad.
Yeah but you'll have to hunt for and fix the code wherever it is on every disk, which could be subtly or completely different between applications. "Recalculate track 9" is a simple program that would have worked on any Western Security DRM disk.
> Yes, I know. That's irrelevant here for two reasons: firstly, the pointers might compare equal (which is all that matters for this argument), and secondly, once again, the comparison isn't being made between pointers, the comparison is being made between integers.

You know what, I think you're right, at least on the second point. I guess the code isn't UB after all then. Somehow I kept reading it as if it's comparing pointers.

Regarding the other point about following something in memory:

> I don't consider those guys a reputable source [...] they claim that making equality comparisons is undefined behaviour but their only basis for that is a quote from the section on relational operators which is obviously only talking about relational operators.

There are multiple entities here, in agreement with each other. The author links to bug #61502 in GCC, where you'll see the compiler devs agree with the author of that page: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=61502#c15

You might disagree with their stances for whatever reasons you might have, but firing reputational shots at them when there are clearly other experts disagreeing with them isn't really helping make your position more convincing.

> Read the actual standard quotations in context and there is no confusion.

There was no "confusion" on this point to begin with (on my end anyway). Again, as I explained: they might not be intuitive if you're assuming a linear address space, but they're quite fine to interpret. You just need to avoid bringing your own extra assumptions into the table. The notion of "following" in memory hinges on your assumption that the address space is linear. This is pretty similar to how to be able to say your house "follows" another house, you need to first make nontrivial assumptions (e.g., that they're on the same street). To my knowledge C does not make such assumptions globally; all it does is lets you satisfy that criterion by putting them in the same aggregate structure ("street") to begin with, but if you can't do that, you can't satisfy that assumption.

If you got the software from pirate BBS, you would meditate on its file list to check for presence of notes, hints, FAQs and release info files if that information was not attached. Newsgroups/echomail could have it posted, too, routinely, or as an answer to someone's question.

That was a bit later, though. In the age of physical disk swapping, you would ask friends, or prepare for an audience with That One Guy Who Has Everything And Knows Everything.

It is useful to understand the origins of CAF and I appreciate your comment. I don't think it significantly changes the discussion, but it does enhance and inform it.

Most people aren't even aware of CAF. I think the ones that are, are either folks who have been stung by it or civil libertarians. The civil libertarians appreciate how serious the problem is, but I also think they may have a slightly inflated sense of the preponderance due to the news outlets they follow. In any case, I hope we fix it soon.

Even with all the work they did on satellite photos and visiting the site, I still felt that it could be propaganda like the Iraq WMD photos. I felt bad because the suppression of free press was working and generating doubt.

But then I clicked through to the source paper by Dr. Adrian Zenz, and I found that very credible. It has all the detail required to convince me this person is describing a real society without caricature or prejudice. Page 16 in particular struck me as exactly how and why a society would force an ethnic minority to pick cotton and live in camps.

So your class had a 1% death rate due to prescription opioids. Why do you suppose it was so far out of proportion to the general population? drugabuse.gov says prescription opioids accounted for around 15,000 deaths in 2017 [1], so 12 in a single high school graduating class is either a massive unexplained spike in the data, or something you made up.
