Fwiw I've been doing 100% Huel Black and a keto dinner for the last two months, and never felt better. It takes the decision fatigue of "does this fit in my diet" out of it all, and makes eating right so much easier. I honestly feel like my brain is functioning better now too, just one less thing gnawing away at it. And I like Huel Black because it's kind of gross, so no urge to overconsume, which I've run into with other products. Plus, it feels somewhat nice in that it's probably one of the more environmentally friendly ways to eat.

I never would have thought I'd be able to keep up with it (love sugar too much) but actually it's been not so hard once I set my mind to it. I gave up alcohol a few years ago and this has been easier than that.

We'll see how long it lasts. It seems weird to think about doing it forever, but who knows. For now I see no reason to stop, and lots of reasons to keep going.
It is not convection but conduction!
I agree. I was aiming at the context of the parent comment. The employer of someone (e. g. Facebook) shouldn't have an effect on how their code is treated.
Serious contracts are witnessed or, better, notarised. These witnesses attest to the good faith involved in the signing ceremony.

Accept button clicking is not witnessed. Any contract so-signed should be good for all of $10 worth of dispute. No more.
It’s in the blog post that I linked to, which quotes the tweet that you seem to be referring to.
The BBC link shows a leak without context. And with some balant mistranslations

The ABC link shows a random video uploaded and verified as 'authentic' by someone who sits at his home watching Google maps. If that's the level of evidence required for Holocaust then it's a lost cause to reason with you.

also to add, there are 12 million uighur in china, if the claim of genocide on 3 million of uighur is true, that means 1 in 4 uighur are slaughtered. Xinjiang to this day is open for visits for foreigners, there are zero reports of refugees in neighboring countries. If the there is indeed a holocaust going on, then these evidence should be easy to find right? and you probably wouldn't need to rely on "leaks" and videos verified by a 22 year old "goolge map" expert.
Huh. I was just posting the quote that gp referred to, supposedly implying that the mob as a whole killed a police officer. The text is not written like that, and overall pretty dry and factual. We can argue about the one adverb „extremely“ in front of violent, but that’s not even that much of a stretch (people died).

An actually biased text would have used different words, like calling the mob a group of organized fascist insurgents intent on a coup d‘etat, commanded to do so by Trump. Even that would still be arguably correct.
Ahhh the applying Torvalds approach to code reviews.
Exactly. The funny thing is the same people making the counter to your argument no doubt don't bat an eye at 8 figure annual salaries for the best sports players. The argument is the same in either case.
Incompetent management are even worse for the bottom line of the company.
I go camping near the Minnesota/Canada boarder, usually without packing along any electronics or cell signal. (I have occasionally carried a telescope in) I think it was Memorial weekend, 2019, where I saw a string of unusual satellites. Not something I'd ever seen before -- and we were all laughing that here we were, seeing UFOs, and not a single one of us had a cell phone. We found out when we were home that they were the Starlink launch.

(found a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jsAKSAbpU8 )
So me clearing up misinformation is a problem, but other using spreading information isn't? Isn't our unwillingness to challenge this misinformation exactly why we're dealing with violent seditionists right now? Did you somehow miss an attack on the US capitol largely due to rampant spread of misinformation?
I mean, we are doing exactly what you just said: they are doing what they want, as is their right, I find it what they are doing to be dishonest and call them out on it. Not that they will care. But in the end, the consequences of their actions is that people who dislike them will talk bad about them.

The have the right to be two-faced about their open source policy, I have the right to speak about how I think it's bad to do so.
Yes I'm talking about Software because it has a new CPU architecture. I have used a thinkpad with Linux and it was a terrible experience.
It's actually spelled listicle, no "k."
>get snapped up by a single owner.

If these things were as trivial as you think, then why doesn't open source simply patent all the good new ideas now?

Even if these easy to create ideas you think exist required some previous work, at least these new simple patents would free up stuff eventually.

But this doesn't happen. Ask yourself why.

Heck, spend some time and try to make a better method your self, and patent it. Then you can hold for-fee patents needing your brilliant idea hostage, and change the playing field.

Or maybe you're mistaken on how hard and non-trivial the needed components are?

And, if they're so non-trivial that open source, or Google, or whomever want them to be free, then the ideas are worth patents.

>That's because it takes so long to get implemented,

You think it takes longer to implement a compression codec than to create it? That's not true for this scale (I've worked on several high end compression codecs and have designed and implemented probably a few dozen compression codes in my career).

Creating one is by far the hardest part - trying tons and tons of ideas (coding them all up for testing), looking for new ideas, working on how various ideas interact, etc.

By the time the spec is solidified probably a few hundred throwaways have been made. Implementation is trivial, then optimization takes some time.

But neither effort, by far, approach the effort it takes to design one on this scale.

> There would be less total incentive, but there's still the enormous incentive from everyone working with video to get better compression/quality, and streamlining cooperation would be a big deal.

If that were true, you'd see all those same actors improving x264 compression, or MP3, or h265, and other compression codecs, but they are not. Improvements, despite being something ANY person can do and push to open libs, is rare. Most all modern compression schemes only define the decoding part, allowing improvements on the encoding side to be continually worked on. The technical skill to do so is non-trivial, and a tiny, tiny fraction of a percent of "everyone working with video" has any idea how to improve it.

This is how x264 kept improving and improving over and over for H.264 compression - there was pretty much one person, Dark Shikari, that worked on it for years and years to improve it.

If you want to see how terribly complex this work is, read his (internet archive) blog on the work. It was fun at the time watching one person make x264 the premier H.264 compressor.

But pretty much zero other besides him made significant improvements to it, despite being something anyone can work on.

So no, the vast majority of people working with video would be useless at making anything better.
> Freedom of speech isn’t just a law. It’s a social principle upon which America was founded.

Yes, and that principal is specifically that the proper way to advance in ideas is for them to have to compete for the favor of private actors without public authorities intervening, and that the freedom of private actors to choose on their own to promote or relay messages, most critically political messages, including the free choice to decline to do so is essential for free society.
Trump never called for any violence. However there are lots of left wing people on Twitter calling for violence and the left-wing operated BigTech think that's just fine, while they will ban any right wing person at the drop of a hat for completely made-up reasons like saying something wrong about gender pronouns. Look the Joe Rogan podcast with Tim Pool and Jack Dorsey, and try to educate yourself.
> educating people and helping them heal their closed heart and mind

> we must then focus on educating and healing the population

Do you not see how wrong this sounds? Who gets to create this “healing” education curriculum which will “open hearts and minds”?
that’s because you’ve fallen for their dogwhistle. nothing like what they described actually occurred, and blaming college students is coded language to allude to the manufactured and not-so-secretly anti-semitic boogie man of “cultural marxism”.
Love the sentiment behind the post - cooking is great life skill to get good at, but I think the "Essential Gear" is definitely far from "essential" (and maybe this will help the new cook from being too scared of the list).

Here's my version of the "minimum viable set":
1. big, sharp knife
2. cutting board
3. wooden spoon
4. pan.

IMO, the particularly dispensable: "instant read digital cooking thermometer", "micro-plane zester", "fish turner spatula", "large heat-safe glass measuring cup", "honing rod".

Again, still love the intention. Nice post!
hm. do many people in silicon valley buy their apartment or house there these days? Is it even accessible?
> anyone with a pen could send in as many votes as they wanted in different names and nobody would have any proof of which were valid and which weren’t.

I can't find any evidence for this. Further, at least where I live, ballots are mailed to voters and include a control number that ensures only one vote is counted for that person.
I have noticed that as SV companies get larger they tend to adopt the more "old school" approach. Not that it's a binary - it's a spectrum, and depending on management chain/how an org runs, people can have different experiences.

I think it's caused by

1. When you have very deep management chains you start to have lots of people with opinions on what you should do, how you should do it, who you should do it with. Even if on average most of them aren't micromanagers, it only takes a few.

2. As you grow you start pulling in more people with experience outside of SV who bring in culture with them. Note that "SV" is also not monolithic here. Companies like Microsoft (ok, technically not SV) are farther to the "traditional" side of the spectrum.

3. "Horizontals"
> will the gullible and not-so-gullible-but-partisan accept actual, material evidence when it's presented?

What is being presented is not evidence. It's absence of evidence, combined with blunt assertions. That's not what we should be getting from a truly secure election system.

Years ago, the kernel.org servers that host the source code to the Linux kernel were hacked. Lots of people and lots of corporations use Linux, so the security of the source code of the kernel is a serious issue. So what did the owners of the kernel.org site do? Did they shout over and over that there was no problem? Did they make a huge effort to argue against people (and there were plenty of them) who claimed this showed Linux was just not a serious OS, as compared to those other OSs owned by large corporations? No.

What the kernel.org owners did was much simpler. They just showed the security measures they already had in place, and explained how and why they worked. And since those security measures were good ones, based on cryptographically secure methods of signing and verifying code and detecting tampering, and since they were open, so anyone who wanted to could check and verify them, that was all they had to do. All the accusations and speculations about insecurity simply evaporated.

That is the kind of security we should have for elections. And it's blatantly obvious that we don't. And until we do, given how divided the country is, we will continue to have close elections that the losing side, or at least a significant portion of it, refuses to recognize as legitimate. This problem cannot be handwaved away, and it cannot be solved by shouting louder, the way Americans do in foreign countries in the hope that it will cause the natives to start understanding English. It can only be solved by implementing a secure, and transparently secure, election system, where nobody has to take anybody else's word that nothing questionable happened.

>I realize it's a touchy subject, but I think it's a mistake to not stigmatize obesity (not overweight but obese) the way we do smoking

I won't get a heart attack from your second hand obesity. There are a lot of other unsafe behaviors that have more severe negative externalities than obesity.

Sonar could probably be implemented using fluidics for navigation on Venus. Now a big problem is that it has traditionally been difficult to make fluidics operate at ultrasonic frequencies. There have been fluidic ultrasonic beam break sensors that worked on the principle of ultrasound disrupting a laminar jet to turbulence, but these can't 'directly' sense ultrasound. The response rate is also somewhat slow and not that sensitive. There are also means of heterodyning ultrasonic frequencies, but the method relies on a transitional jet so it's not reliable.

However, if you do the math it appears that fluidic amplifiers with dimensions that do not require semiconductor processing to make using a working fluid of helium should have flat gain to about 26 KHz, which is in the ultrasonic range. What really makes this work is the fact that helium becomes less viscous as it gets much hotter.

In fact power requirements for fluidic amplifiers may be about the same as their electronic counterparts(~0.2 mW per amplifier). In addition, laminar fluidic amplifiers have very low internal noise, meaning we should be able to amplify the fairly weak sonar return signals. A simple sonar sensor which reports back range should be possible, but a more interesting possibility is using acoustic metamaterials to do 'image recognition' to steer the rover away from obstacles.

A couple problems are how to couple sound from the fluidic circuits to Venus' atmosphere and keeping the helium contained. Having the entire circuit encased in metal and using metal would ensure that the leakage rate is insignificant. The issue is that making a reliable metal bellows pump could end up being a boondoggle. NASA tried to make an RTG that used a stirling engine rather than a Seebeck generator, but it stopped working reliably within a month or so, which may have been due to fatigue in the metal bellows. Another is it's difficult to determine sonar system performance due to the difficulty of calculating return strength
I will be trying tox again after that event then.
> Big Tech and Fed Govs working in concert is not a positive. Anyone cheering on FAANG’s recent decisions is naive.

FAANG’s recent decisions are directly against the head of the Federal Government, not taken in concert with “Fed Govs”.
I agree with a lot of this article and it reflects the culture at the kind of places I like to work.

But - I'm curious what costs folks have seen in making this switch to giving engineers more autonomy and expecting them to be problem solvers for the wider business rather than code-factory workers. My hunch is that it's usually worth it - but what are the risks?

It's easy to mention a couple of anecdotes about some engineer who made an improvement or feature that represented millions of dollars for the company bottom line. But what about people going down strange rabbit holes, engaging in resume-driven development or following the allure of cool tech that isn't really needed for the use case (e.g. "let's use Cassandra for this!"), Not Invented Here syndrome, premature optimization, spinning up unnecessary microservices because that's the way to get promoted, building a fancy internal system that internal stakeholders don't actually need or want, etc. It's really really hard to simultaneously see the business big picture and also be down in the technical details, and very easy for engineers to fall victim to the Dunning-Kruger effect and go off in the wrong direction. Perhaps the few people who are able to do this well are able to compensate for all the waste, but I don't think we can assume that it leads to good results for the business in every case.
since you did it for yourself it is sure something useful, but the webpage do not give me enough info about it: I am very curious, and would like to know more: if you have time can you add here some more info, maybe examples? (btw: I love RoR)
There are a few things that are going on here which could be supporting raising obesity rates:

-The Farm Bill and USA Sugar Program, which is a bipartisan issue but which shouldn't exist in the first place https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Sugar_Program

-Increasing use of social media and sedentary lifestyles. When you are just inside on your phone all the time this is NOT healthy.

-This obesity problem is probably going to kill more people than COVID and the opioid epidemic, but noone wants to talk about it as it directly threatens various established interests.
> But not today.

Exactly. That was kind of like telling a content creator to build a web site and post videos there after getting kicked off YouTube. Sure, only a fraction of their fanbase will start using their site to consume their content, but hey, at least they have a broader reach than almost anyone on Earth had 20 years ago.
Homebrew works without Rosetta 2, maybe you have to reinstall it so it runs natively. It should be installed under /opt/homebrew
Ok what multiplier should we give them for any of that? They are currently at 138x. Over two orders of magnitude and in business like making a car you don’t get orders of magnitude easily.
You are absolutely right, but this thread's point is exactly to highlight this fact. That if you'll commit to learning and depending this toolkit, you might want to understand that Microsoft is in control and depending on its mood may decide to carve up some parts of this OSS editor and ship it to proprietary land.

Their marketing or their disciples don't really spell it out when recommending it for obvious reasons.
Added remarks. Probably the area I'm working on (educational) isn't reflective on the wider community, which seems to associate higher rejection rates to quality.

Bringing it back to the context of the original reply: it applies to protection from the government, not protection from private individuals when you make speech which offends those individuals.

That's why I linked the book case. Hawley cites the first amendment, but he's in a contract with a private entity to publish the book. Barring contract disputes, there is no first amendment case that the publisher must distribute his book.
You're correct that Wikipedia has the blatant vandalism problem more-or-less covered. However, I'm not so enthusiastic about he culture. In a lot of cases, it ends up being "obsessives, fight!" with the weapon of rules-lawyering, which is just exhausting for anyone who isn't an obsessive.

The end-result is often OK, but often jumbled and confusing, and it often feels like getting taught a subject by someone who's just a year or two ahead of you. You definitely feel you can learn something, but the person teaching you doesn't necessarily have very good command of the material themselves.

It's position in society is also weird. It has authority, but that authority can be abused. I once ran into a Wikipedian who had been busy for several years promoting a religious philosophy in a little neglected corner of Wikipedia, by gluing together little disconnected fragments to make a build up the wiki page for it. It was definitely badly done original research, but he successfully tapped the authority of Wikipedia.
> a lot of these kinds of people have basically no faith in important institutions such as 'Science', the Judiciary, the DOJ etc.

And that is because all of those institutions have lied to them, repeatedly, over many, many years. So has the mainstream media. So it is rational for people not to believe them when they insist, louder and louder, "no, really, this time we're telling the truth!"

Trump was also great advertising for Twitter, just like he was
great for the news media. I'd argue that Big Media, Inc. is deeply complicit
in the rise of Donald Trump. He was the goose that laid the golden egg.
Additionally, the media mergers of the 80s and 90s gave us right-wing talk radio on
the AM band, sewing the spores of hate from which the vile toadstool
of Trumpism bloomed.

Big Tech, Inc., with its algorithms that promote radical right-wing content,
also seems suspect.

To me the solution to all of these problems is to break up conglomerates
and monopolies. Let's have more decentralization and more "small is beautiful"
tech, like the chat system presented here. Let a million flowers blossom,
smothering the aforementioned toadstool.

Interesting, I never noticed buckets were a savings only feature. I've got a checking and a savings account there. To spend money I transfer to checking. There are federal transfer limits on savings accounts though, which could get in the way for some people.
I've worked at both SV and traditional companies, and I feel like this very closely matches my experience.

One of the things I worry about is that even at companies that are doing "Agile transformations" and adopting methodologies like Scrum, in practice have "Product Owners" who are there to give instructions via Jira tickets. Other roles like "Business Analysts" are there to ensure that lowly developers never have to worry about things like understanding the business themselves.

So I get funny looks when I suggest that engineers should go talk to people in the business, and write design docs. Silicon Valley engineering practices can look very non-Agile to a lot people from traditional companies that are doing Agile.
Looks like a different book, "Algorithms for Optimization", by two of the three authors of "Algorithms for Decision Making".
