It seems like you’re arguing that Facebook tracking you across multiple websites and selling that data is not so bad because Apple has a closed App Store. How is that pertinent?
Was that the implication? I got more of a "Of course they will monetize it, that's how corporations handle assets" vibe.

Because monetize is a meaningless word here. Unless Google suddenly decides to go against their fiduciary responsibility and purposefully lose money, any use of the data is going to be somehow monetizing it.
A good optimizing compiler can remove the dereference entirely if it notices, unfortunately.

I don't think blame is all on one side. But neither do I think things are in balance or in some kind of imaginary mirror image of each other. I wrote my comment imaging a progressive audience. If I wanted to speak to a conservative audience I'd have to make entirely different points (such as reserving skepticism for ideas coming from the other political camp, instead of being skepitcal of all ideas) and my comment is already too long.

Most insitutions of public influence lean left by a large amount, and that lean is getting more and more extreme according to the researchers I've paid atttention to. Conservatives prefer roles in business and industry which are quite a bit less about influence. Conservative news media is an exception here, but the situation is not symmetrical: right-wing media has been utterly rejected by progressives right from the start and so nobody on the left feels betrayed by the news media like the right does. But is right wing media complicit in leading their own further astray? Absolutely.

Science is hopefully mostly populated by people much less tribal and much more skeptical than the average person. But few people get their science from scientists directly. The mostly leftwing media stands in between scientists and the populous. Science coming through a media that conservatives don't trust gets automatically binned along with everything else coming through that media. But rather than ignore it, they go hard opposite... I think it's actually to the point where reverse psychology would work very well.

Human Rights Don’t Exist in Brazil

There is a criminal organization in Brazil using NSO Group’s Pegasus to infect devices for hack for hire, to incite terrorism, blackmail people, produce illegal pornography and assist in assassinations. They also have other advanced malware, like UEFI implants and even persistent implants for Kindle and Raspberry Pi. Plus face/voice recognition on every camera and microphone they can get into, in public or private places.

Brazil won’t do anything to stop them. Only the FBI, CIA and NSA can stop them.

There is also the possibility that they were engaged on the hack of Bezos’ smartphone.

If you know of any security researcher who wants to reverse engineer the exploits they are using, I am more than willing to help them.

If you want a story about how they operate, I am willing to work with you to expose them.
This is great.

I'll rephrase my point then; I think Less Wrong people spend a lot of time trying to figure out how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. Or: They should stop sniffing their own farts, pull their heads out of the clouds, try not to get lost up their own asses, etc.

Anyway, according to Wikipedia: "Some mathematicians and historians, such as Carl Boyer, hold that Zeno's paradoxes are simply mathematical problems, for which modern calculus provides a mathematical solution.[6] Some philosophers, however, say that Zeno's paradoxes and their variations (see Thomson's lamp) remain relevant metaphysical problems.[7][8][9]"

On one side, I just don’t like how some cheap beers taste... I’d rather have coffee or juice.

On the other hand, I’ve tried a lot of wines with friends... and I think there’s a certain amount of “acquired bad taste” to be part of the club. My experience has been taste sort of tops out at mid-high, and after that it’s a lot of paying for the story or as a Veblen good/investment.

Which is also true of beers.

> A non-async function is "regular logic", it must complete without blocking.

What does 'blocking' mean? I would expect the definition of synchronous to be the exact opposite; i.e., a synchronous function must block the caller until the function has finished executing. For that matter, what is "regular logic"? The name implies there is some sort of "irregular logic" to contrast it with.

I get the feeling that the writing may be unclear because the concepts are themselves not well-defined.

Nuance is sort of counterproductive here because most people don't recognize how many things could trigger an interrogation. Any little personality quirk, or being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and the officer is suddenly taking note of every word you say.

I feel like a good solution here is to let eng teams use a different tool.
"Whether people like it or not the operation of the DNS, including .org, is a commercial endeavor."

There's basically no reason it at all has to be commercial, it's one of the things that makes more sense to socialize, because it's not about value creation, it's public property and rent-seeking. Handing over a non-value creating cash-cow to private equity is not 'good capitalism'.

Well, I can just report my experience with a git repo w/ a bunch of binary files in it.

It got really really slow to clone (like multiple days -- we gave up on cloning and just copied the checked-out folder around); git lfs fixed this. I should note most of the binary assets had no changes and were not deleted; it seemed to be something inherent in git's handling of the binaries that made it slow, not just downloading the data. (I.e., I don't believe most of the wins in git-lfs were simply in doing a "shallow clone" as it were.)

So as I see it the situation is as follows:

- Even for a full clone, git becomes inefficient with a lot of large binaries

- For doing a partial clone, things like git-lfs work, but are clunky because git-lfs is not natively integrated with git

- The partial clone abilities of git-lfs are strictly "time-based" -- you go to a particular checkout, and then it goes off and downloads the files. There's no way to say, "I have a big monorepo with a bunch of binaries, but I'm only interested in some subset w/o the binaries."

So these are all areas where I think git can be improved on.
at my company we try and see how it goes, if we run into trouble we just do next logical thing, maybe one day we'd run out of possible solutions and would need to redo entire thing, but why fix problems we are not having now.

this is a bit of conventional wisdom that I have always questioned. the default expectation that you would spend a few years with someone and then cut them out of your life entirely if things don't work out strikes me as kind of tragic. that person was likely one of your best friends.

there are exceptions of course. if the relationship ended because of very different levels of interest, it might take some time before a healthy friendship is possible. if the relationship became codependent or ended due to some sort of betrayal, it's probably best to make a clean break.

HFT does not refer to all intraday trading, but rather extremely latency-sensitive (subsecond) strategies.

> Performance is taken into account when it matters for the product, you'll notice this in games where they do a lot of perf improvement work.

I think most development shops chronically underestimate how much application performance matters for sales. Most people will never file bug reports when software is slow. They just "won't like that program for some reason". (Or worse, misattribute the reason they don't like your product.) Slowness is invisible to the developers because they're almost always using computers which are much faster than the computers their customers are using. And unless you actually take the time to record performance statistics, you won't have any idea this is the case.

Game developers know this. People measure the FPS they get on their gaming computers. But as far as I can tell, the reason isn't an essential quality of video games. The difference is culture. There's a culture in video game development of measuring performance. People have the tools and terminology to talk about it. In comparison, what are notion's performance numbers like? Does notion run at 60fps for the average user? How many ms of typing latency does it usually encounter? Does the team even know?

> Also swift & rust are slow due to their design as a language. They provide very strong guarantees and make a lot of thing static. It's very similar to the reasons why C++ is slow to compile.

Roll to disbelieve. Swift and rust are simpler languages than C++, and yet compile much more slowly. The reason C++ seems to compile slowly isn't templates. Its because of the way C++ header files need to be parsed over and over again, and thats not a problem rust and swift share. (Rob Pike has some great rants about this if anyone's interested.) A well written, from-scratch Swift compiler should be able to get compilation speeds closer to Go. At least, for debug builds.

I suspect if swift and rust were invented 20 years ago, we would still have been able to write compilers that ran at tolerable speeds on the computers of the day. And if thats the case, the reason for slow compilation speed is something other than language design.

> Also notion is like 10 engineers last time I checked, and they've decided to go towards speed of dev & features more than nicer, but slower to develop tools.

Notion can make that choice if they want. But until they fix performance, I won't / can't use their product.

> Also performance work is not fun

Speak for yourself - I love performance work. Its so measurable and the feeling of taking something sluggish and making it scream is delightful.

>But for the rest of us, simple, blocking code will do just fine and save us a few headaches.

I understand your point, but if performance isn't a concern, why use Rust at all? If the intricacies of async is that much of a burden then Rust is probably not the right tool of the job.

> 11. Cooking pollutes the air. Opening windows for a few minutes after cooking can dramatically improve air quality.

After bad bush fires where I live I invested in both a CO2 monitor and a particle air quality monitor (Dylos DC1100 Pro Air Quality Monitor). It shocked me just how much cooking (and other factors I can't quite determine yet) affected the air quality. Think 10 times more particles due to cooking, even with the fan on and windows open.

Another possible source of indoor air pollution are carpets and other manufactured things, interestingly.

CO2 was bad too, but opening my window has a greater impact on that. But it is shocking to see levels of ~800-900ppm inside with windows closed.

I'm still early in my career, but the last two rounds of interviews I've done have yielded initial offers with a spread of $100k+/yr in total comp and $60k+/yr in base salary.

Just to have concrete numbers to work with, suppose initial offers exactly correspond to final pay and that you're currently making toward the lower end of that range (e.g. because raises haven't kept up with your increased skill and increased market demand).

If you're currently making $X/yr (total comp), you think you _might_ be worth $X+$50k to somebody, and you spit out $X+$50k as your target range, a prospective employer could generously offer $X+$60k and you'd be happy as a clam and none the wiser while missing out on a new Tesla per year in extra pay.

There's a separate argument that if you'd be happy with $X+$60k then you shouldn't try to squeeze your employer for more, but I'll let somebody else make it if they'd like. Regardless, that big of a spread really does exist, and I imagine it grows further into one's career.
