Just my opinion: If “truth” means “of perfect form” then this can be obvious to everyone (see Plato). If “truth” means “fact” as in “what can be perceived,” then this is different for everyone because everyone perceives things based on their own knowledge and situation (see David Hume). This is a great question to ponder!
How then, can refusing superior alternative be anyone's point? Are you merely calling them overly conservative to the point of incompetence (I'd be tempted to), or is there another aspect to it?

JIRA. A Jira ticket is way too overloaded. It’s a story, an epic,
a support ticket, a bug, an engineering design, a unit of estimation and work allocation, a source
code commit tracking number and much more.

This overloading is painful.

Competing with JIRA is hard though as companies have it and it’s embedded and it is good enough.

Something more engineering centric would make me switch but maybe not my boss or the team would be convinced to do a migration with other more pressing concerns.

A more elegant tool that drives JIRA in the background as a kind of no sql DB might be a way forward.
Actually it's super-realistic in practice, especially the JDK, given the short-short-long support duration cadence for JDK releases. e.g. I am totally uninterested in someone telling me I need to use JDK 12 rather than JDK 11: the former is already out of support and the latter will be supported until at least 2026.
My ex was secretly longing for the kind of man I could easily be by taking Jordan Peterson's advice. She knew I was not when we met. Her views changed and she expected mine to change with hers.

I signalled as brightly as I could that my love for her was true, but that my convictions are not subject to my feelings.

When she told me about "that guy from work" I knew immediately that it was more than mere sympathy on her part, but according to my convictions I did not pull a macho man to persuade her to stay with me, figuring if she loved me like I loved her, I had nothing to fear. I would have forgiven her having an affair, sometimes attraction can be overpowering.

She apparently registered nothing of all this, cheated me and after finally telling me she now loved work guy, her last communication before blocking me was basically "I'm happy and don't care about the 10 years of us together any more". It took me a while to sort myself out after that, but the conclusion I arrived at: Fuck that bitch, good riddance. I already changed more about myself for her than she ever deserved.

I don't blame Jordan Peterson.

This is probably a much more likely explanation; we'll see when we get bodycam footage or anything else if there's a better recording of what was being played. But for whatever it's worth, most TTS engines are modeled around well known voiceover people.

It's still possible that since the engine didn't reproduce a 1:1 copy and there's no discernable (at least to me) artifacts in the one copy of sound footage we have, that was the real person, and she just announced it slightly differently.

>Except that as we keep trying to point out, 90% of EV charging occurs overnight at home

Most people don't buy vehicles for 90% of the use-cases. They buy something that does everything they normally expect a car to do, which includes a long road trip every year or so. Maybe driving to a favorite campground 200 miles away, etc.

The reason people keep bringing these scenarios up is due to the fact that electric cars are terrible for these cases. Nobody is suggesting they can't be used for daily commutes.

Right now electric cars are for people who can afford to also own an ICE or rent an ICE for road trips (or who don't like road trips at all).
IMO it’s a different question. SQLite and Postgres are both relational databases, it stands to reason that they’re at least doing things in similar ways. They’re two implementations of the same idea(ish). A graph database is something else altogether. Grafting that capability onto a relational database has the potential to perform horribly.

It’s a bad analogy, but SQLite to Postgres is like AMD vs Intel x86 CPUs, whereas a graph database is ARM. Can it be emulated? Yes. Is there a far greater potential for slowdown? Yes.
None. Arguing with Tesla people on the internet is like arguing with vegans... not a productive exercise for either party.

Whilst in theory this is a great idea to manage such information, it feel like a pretty basic level of management. The functionality is broad but flat, so much so that for my use cases it's not feature filled enough to warrant using. However definitely agree for the right user, this type of application would be great.
On one hand this is wonderful, it's great to see regular companies 'innovate'.

On the other, this is the 'industrialization of food and culture' - and not remotely a 'leap forward'.

We have known for a while what the people of Pompeii eat. There were even restaurants putting up Pompeii last meal menus in London/UK.

The fish part is probably garum[1] ..a condiment fermented fish entrails. I have had the unenviable task of helping to prepare this for a chef who picked me because I was a vegetarian then.

Probably known as Liquamen in Pompeii but it’s the same as Garum. it’s basically fatty gish(sardines/mackerel/tuna) that is heavily salted to remove the juices and it’s then fermented. Actually it ends up smelling not so fishy at all.

Salted and brined fish is common in Asia too. In fact, the origins of ketchup is actually a fish based sauce from China. Bit different method.

>I believe I generally keep tabs on up and coming technology companies and never heard of Zoom until mid March.*

Apparently not that good tabs...

"Eric Yuan, a former Cisco engineer and executive, founded Zoom in 2011, and launched its software in 2013."

"In January 2017, the company raised US$100 million in Series D funding from Sequoia Capital at a US$1 billion valuation making it a "unicorn" company."

"The company first became profitable in 2019, and completed an initial public offering that year."

"On April 18, 2019, the company became a public company via an initial public offering. After pricing at US$36 per share, the share price increased over 72% on the first day of trading.[43][7] The company was valued at US$16 billion by the end of its first day of trading.[7] Prior to the IPO, Dropbox invested $5 million in Zoom."

Maybe we will have to come to accept that a ( big ) bunch of very old people will die a few years earlier than expected so that the rest of us can avoid a greater depression ?

That being said, once we refrain from locking down everything and everyone, we can start expending all of our resources to minimizing the deaths in the at risk groups.

In the end, I believe this approach can result in less deaths than trying to impose ' sanitary measures ' that most people disregard at least to some extent because they make little sense and are downright immoral.

I get from the article that this strain might be more infectious and herd immunity might not be as efficient as it would have been previously, but _all things considered_, it would still be our best option in the scenario where an efficient vaccine is not readily available for that strain / variant.

The deaths due _directly_ to the virus are by no means the only parameter we should pay attention to.

That's because (imo) numbers aren't intrinsic to the physical universe. They are (imo) an abstraction we humans invented to describe certain phenomena. You may not agree but hopefully you can at least see why some people would have this PoV, and especially the more general PoV that mathematics is not about (physical) nature, but about abstract ideas.
> Transferring 2700 megajoules of energy to an f150 via gasoline in a few minutes is very convenient, something that would take a Tesla a few hours.

A 75% charge can happen in ~20 minutes on something like a 250kw Telsa super charger. Battery tech and battery charging tech will only get better/faster. Also the vast majority miles driven on the road aren't "road trip" miles in which you would see the drive-to-fuel/energy exhaustion over and over for days on end scenario. When a Tesla plugs in at home and charges over night, that's actually more convenient than having to go to a gas station.

I think the big difference here is that when comparing SQLite you are at least using the same query language.

In the graph space you have Gremlin, Cryper, GQL and many other proprietary query engines (which also looks to be the the case here).

Without that accessibility this feels a bit like pickling a NetworkX object.

As usual, the answer to the eternal question of “how much formal math training do you need for X” turns out to be “right around the amount the author of the argument has had.” Why is it that we always have to prove the instrumental value of maths education? You’re a lot more likely to “need” your maths in the “real world” than your Shakespeare, but few have much energy for fighting the idea that literature should be studied for it’s own sake. Wondering about the minimum amount of effort required for success is more valuable for its insights into whether this is something you should pursue than for any answer you could find.

So here’s what I should think is the obvious answer: No, significant formal or informal maths training is neither necessary nor sufficient for a successful or even exemplary career as a programmer. But talent and success in the two do seem to correlate pretty strongly, and those who do have above average backgrounds in maths seem to feel it’s beneficial and provides an advantage. No, you don’t need maths any more than you need strong writing skills or comfort teaching or experience with office politics or a sophisticated sense of humour. Those are all, however, astonishingly useful in getting the things you want, even if that’s only a richer experience of life.
I’ve seen quite a few articles and people lamenting about how RISC-V is a badly designed ISA and requires a lot of instructions to do the same amount of work as other architectures. It would be interesting if someone knowledgeable on this could summarise whether that’s really a problem, or if there’s anything that would make RISC-V a strong or weak proposition?
maybe there's a reason why it can't be exploited easily in nature? It looks too obvious.

> Domino's pizza tracking and online ordering is cool, but nobody orders Domino's because of it.

I disagree.

Ordering from your local pizza place (pre Uber Eats) usually meant ordering from the default options because there was no way you could get a custom order in without having some sort of mix-ups. And good luck if you tried to order to a non-standard location (like a college campus building).

Ordering from the website removed all these issues, plus you could pay with a credit card beforehand so no cash transactions required. This combined with

> Keeping it around long enough and word gets out that Domino's is good again, which means more sales and growth.

and the ubiquity of Domino's locations made it the default option in many cases. It was good enough that it wasn't worth it to see if the local pizza place was better.

The multi-day 2003 blackout in the Northeast US states and Ontario, Canada qualifies in terms of impact (many billions of $). It was a systemic flaw with a software bug as a proximate cause. I think most major failures with high impact in a software-intensive system will sort of look similar: a software fault that cascades to the real world.

A coworker has an extensive setup for feeding birds, squirrels, and raccoons. He deals with rats and mice with a high powered air gun with a well calibrated scope and sufficient skill that he's able to kill them quickly with one shot. He's killed something like a hundred over the last couple of years.

If you are willing to kill the rats and mice instead of just drive them away somehow, then taking up shooting as an additional hobby might be worth considering.

I've ruled it out because I don't really want to kill them, and also in my feeding area there is no good spot to take a shot from where a miss would not potentially go somewhere I really do not want it to go.

Chinese economy to overtake US 'by 2028' due to Covid
For the last 5~7 years, thousands of software-only programmers have been discovering Arduino and Raspberry Pi, and have been learning about the real-world consequences of interfacing to hardware. I help out at a local hackerspace and the excitement of someone discovering a software/hardware interface bug is contagious.

Here's an example: someone was trying to make a plant watering machine and was using a FET to control the DC motor. The wire to the FET was about 15 feet long so the slope from the poor GPIO was horrendous, and the motor would basically brownout because it couldn't overcome the initial stall di/dt. The idea that not all edges are perfect 90 degrees was eye opening to him.
The thing that really distinguishes science is an appeal to empirical evidence as a boundary condition for the development and acceptance of hypotheses. Science can get lost in the woods for a long time -- for one thing, theory is fun -- but eventually has to bump into some empirical data. For instance the trouble that plagues the search for a theory that reconciles gravity and quantum mechanics is that theories are a dime a dozen, but ones that can be empirically tested remain elusive.

Theology was regarded as a science in the middle ages, but its appeal was to evidence found in scripture and tradition rather than empirical data. I honestly don't know if it's regarded in the same way today.

With that said, scientific methodology can be useful in the exploration of math. I've used computation to guide me towards a proof. For instance if the problem is: "Find all numbers such that ...," and the first 10 of those numbers are powers of two, hmmmm... guess where you'll start looking for a proof. But the computation itself was not a proof.

Computers can be studied from a pure math angle, e.g., computing the order of a sorting algorithm. But they can also be studied by treating a computer as an unknown whose properties are discovered by empirical testing of hypotheses. For instance, benchmarking is such a pursuit.

This. That's why I prefer to buy devices that have known compatibility with OpenWRT.
But there are a few caveats:

- The power to charge the EV is drawn from the grid

- Batteries are heavy, so you cannot scale up batteries for range

- These batteries require a lot of lithium mining

Given these, I would definitely prefer the hydrogen solution.

Why Restaurants Keep Shutting Down(Joe Rogan YouTube Clip)
Hah, sure seems weird, but for example tell a kid something will take a given amount of time, the kid will constantly ask if its ready ignoring the original estimate, and will get really anxious if you tell him it's taking way more time than expected. Then you will learn the easier way is to tell the kid "leave this to me, don't bug me, go play with your toys and I'll tell you when it's ready". That's the kind of psychology Apple is using here, from my perspective.
Systemic change begins with personal transformation.

On a personal level, online calculators tell me I've reduced my footprint about 90 percent. More than the material change, I didn't expect it would improve my life so much -- saving money, time, increasing connection to family and control over my career, plus being invited to communities like food deserts who can benefit most from such transitions. I would bet most Americans could reduce about 70 or 80 percent with simple improvements they wish they did earlier. Most Silicon Valley types maybe 90 percent before any difficult decisions.

My podcast and nonprofit's missions are to help people realize they'll like the change. Everyone presents sustainability as a burden, chore, or sacrifice. In practice, it's the opposite, but no one tries so haven't experienced it. They think not flying means not working or seeing their family.

We're creating systemic change by leading well-known people to change, publicly so listeners have role models. Community influences people more than facts and figures, so we're focusing on people in everyone's communities.

Many opportunities for rewarding change.
> Are you saying the auditors are the bureaucracy or the FIPS standards approvers are the bureaucracy?

Both.

... which is a problem, because FIPS approved doesn’t imply secure.

Bcrypt is a better password hashing algorithm than any FIPS-approved algorithm at this time. Don’t agree with me? Read up on it. I’m not necessarily recommending it though - there are others that may be even better, depending on the circumstance.

> they are using something else that’s not approved by FIPS (for good reason I might add)

What reason? Is there an expert cryptographer’s opinion or any expert cracking reports you can reference? Just because a group of experts decided a certain list of algos were “approved” several years ago doesn’t mean that newer algos designed or popularized since then are less secure.

Authority alone doesn’t confer reality or truth.

And unlike compliance, security is a process, not a destination.
