No, it's the teapot that was put in the frunk of StarMan's Tesla before it was launched.

On a tangential note, I have been wondering recently why programmers and the code editing software they normally use stuck to the typewriter/punchcard mindset as far as the code formatting and the choice of fonts are concerned...

There was a pizza hut franchise in Santa Cruz that would also do online orders in the same time period. The HDQ eventually worked with that franchise owner and made "pizza net". They still have the old page up: https://www.pizzahut.com/assets/pizzanet/home.html
Agreed on the "starting to learn what computers are for", but I'd say it's happened. It's just not the way we wanted it to ideally manifest as a species.

We want to believe that the revolution should be altruistic in nature. Bettering the human race through only "positive" methods - Star Trek style utopia if you will.

But reality shows that even with all this available computing power, it's still a finite resource. Any finite resource is capitalistic in nature and will be subject to the aggressive expansionist.

It needs its checks and balances like other resources.
You're still translating the mouse image into "mouse" in your mother tongue, then staring at the Japanese word.

But I do agree translation does about as much harm as good. It's a shortcut that helps you shorten the learning curve by importing what you already know about language and the things you often say generically from another language. Learning a language is really really hard, so for many, without this shortcut, you'd barely get anywhere. That's the only good it does though, because it will set you back from becoming fluent and will continue to prevent you from thinking in that new langauge.

The best way to learn a language is through mimicry, immersion, and repetition as you're surrouned by people who only speak that language, who are also friendly, forgiving, and willing to talk to you. Like, children surrounded by their parents, then friends, then friends and teachers.
With the rise of fracking the oil extraction industry has returned in some of those places. But that's probably only temporary.
Have you read Homo Deus by Yuval Harari? Mentioning him can sound a bit pseudo as he's become so popular and is such a popularizer of others' ideas, but I believe the main tenet of Homo Deus is his own and comes very much from thinking about what you're calling "massive open online psychology." His notion is that trusting our technology more than trusting our own feelings will be the death of humanism, because in his view humanism is at heart about trusting one's own individual feelings. The entire liberal can be seen as one aspect or outgrowth of humanism.
If founders got dev and design skills, then this will work. Add in a few thousand dollars for marketing if you want a successful launch.
Agreed. In fact, if consistent E2E encryption could be assumed, then the proxies could be implemented as simply a dedicated address on each server.

For example, suppose alice@example wants to send an encrypted message to bob@server. Alice's client could wrap the message to Bob as an encrypted payload to a message addressed to switchboard@server, so that her provider doesn't learn Bob's address, and her provider could replace her metadata with switchboard@example before sending it to Bob's, so that it doesn't learn Alice's address.
Despite the Kay's remark about Dijkstra, I'll quote him:

> In computer programming our basic building block has an associated time grain of less than a microsecond, but our program may take hours of computation time. I do not know of any other technology covering a ratio of 10^10 or more. ... This challenge, viz. the confrontation with the programming task, is so unique that this novel experience can teach us a lot about ourselves. It should deepen our understanding of the processes of design and creation, it should give us better control over the task of organizing our thoughts. If it did not do so, to my taste we should not deserve the computer at all! ("The Humble Programmer", EWD 340)

This. I think that the computer revolution would happen if programming teaches the rest of us more about our society and our mind, rather than computers and systems themselves.

I'm not sure, I think I've tried it but I don't remember what the result was. Note that our goal is decently fast (20fps+) 3d graphics.

I've also tried moonlight (which is an nvidia gamestream implementation), which seems to have performance but the client wasn't very usable for this usecase.
That rather depends on your understanding of good life.

Was that camera somehow necessary for you to lead a good life or is it yet another distraction from it?

Lately I've been using books from the "Dark Tower" series by Stephen King.

My thoughts on the book series aside, it's long, and I find the narrator rather soothing.

I'd absolutely check out samples first though. One person's soothing narrator is another person's grating narrator.
The market for new proprietary databases is both large and lucrative -- it is printing money right now. What has changed is the structure of the market and the product economics. The classic marketing-driven retail database product model, the kind that puts billboards on the 101, stopped working as a financial model a decade ago -- development costs are too high for the marginal return. That has been replaced by models that produce much higher margins with much lower development cost. Unlike database companies of yore such as Oracle, they use little overt marketing because they don't sell through the public. It is a completely different value proposition for the customer too. And this market is growing.

Proprietary databases have found their niche with qualitatively higher performance and throughput -- often 10-100x -- than the best open source has to offer on the same hardware footprint. As data continues to grow exponentially and cloud costs increase, operational efficiency has a much bigger impact on the bottom line than licensing cost. This gap has only been increasing over time. For most open source databases this is a fundamental architectural issue, and you can't fix architecture, so they are defenseless against highly optimized competitors.

I was on a project a year or two ago where a particular ElasticSearch workload was replaced by a proprietary solution that demonstrably offered 100x higher throughput. It was apparently worth tens of millions of dollars to the customer for that improvement.

The reason big retail databases went away is that 90% of the development cost is in the "big retail" part and not the "database" part. At the same time, development costs for a state-of-the-art database engine have become extremely high due to wage costs (worse than FAANG), so the industry needed to find a business model that would allow those costs to be contained. It is still around but much more invisible. It would be nearly impossible to properly finance a database company as a startup, so a different model is used.

Universal basic income doesn’t impact worker productivity
Neither. throughout most of history that would have seemed to be the case, because you can't compare to the future, only the past.

And it's just as likely to be a misleading perception today as it would have been at any earlier time.
Sadly, I can personally attest that the problem does exist, and that not everybody is performing serialization in such a reasonable, decoupled way.

One of my favourite games of all time is called Knossu and is also non-Euclidian (edit: this is wrong, see comment below), although it takes a very different approach to confusing the player. The author, Jonathan Whiting, is probably best known for his article "Why I Write Games In C" around here

Actually, section numbers tend to be very stable. Thus you can get 45 USC §231n-1, which is not the same thing as 45 USC §231n, 45 USC §231(n), or 45 USC §231(n)(1) (which does not exist, incidentally).
> in most classroom settings I would be surprised if students weren't exposed to the translated meanings through homework or the textbook

I don't think this is true. At best the student will have their own dictionary. At least in my experience, all the full time foreign language schools I know of teach solely in the language being learned and the textbook is solely in that language as well. The students are a mix from all over the world. The school would not cater to all of them by providing translations in a bunch of different languages.
Thank you for valuing people who have the ability to speak up. Too many managers out there who punish people for doing so.

You certainly find some people who don't use monospaced fonts in their editors/IDEs, but of course while that may make for better readability on the line, you lose the consistent indentation (matters more for some languages than others, Python e.g.)
We made a better CGI Luke Skywalker
I worked very closely with somebody when we were both about 10 years out of college. Unlike you and I, she still believed that “cramming” by staying up late to meet a deadline was a worthwhile strategy. I shared my reasoning with her, and nudged her over time, calling attention to the concrete detrimental impact of pursuing short term goals at the expense of intermediate term capacity and personal well-being, but she wouldn’t budge. This is a very smart person who ostensibly shared similar educational and professional experience to myself, that simply reached a very different conclusion. She ended up modifying her behavior only after going through a painful and damaging burnout.

How does a person go through university and not learn this lesson? Should we teach them the better way? How?

Edit: I remembered a potential clue- my coworker was able to transition from work to sleep rather easily, where I require a substantial wind-down period. Perhaps this shifted the equation.
Don't think of yourself like that. It very well could be that you have interests and focus that haven't been used in any company you worked for. I know I felt miserable in my last job because I had to do so much Kubernetes and Docker and I just wanted to become much better Rust programmer instead.

Also for me (maybe such insights could help you) I just last year finally started discovering what makes me tick and get excited as a programmer and nowadays I am seeking for jobs that scratch those itches. Feels great and I no longer feel like an impostor.

It's kind of like dating really. People can spend a lot of time thinking something is wrong with them while in reality you simply haven't stumbled upon the right people.

Don't underestimate yourself. I am sure you can do a lot and make a true difference.
Another way to put this: "Data available to anyone, that might otherwise require a warrant"
Yes you can use DeltaChat for "normal" emails as well, but I was referring to the usability of it. I do not think many would ever ditch, say, Gmail in favor of Delta, as long as conventional emails are prevailing. The main problem here is that an email thread is not necessarily limited to a fixed group of people. With every answer, the audience might change, with different ways to address recipients (direct, CC, BCC; Merging different threads via FWD, manually editing quoted messages). It's hard to apply these principles to group chats, which is why Delta Chat simply doesn't.
I tried this out last week, hoping it would be good enough for me to cancel my plan of setting up a matrix server.

It's a nice idea, but I likely will not continue using it or try to sell anyone I know on using it because it doesn't let me share conversations between my different devices (like my smartphone and my laptop). If someone replies to a chat I send from my phone, I want to see the reply (and the whole thread, really) on every device I have Delta Chat installed on.

So, matrix it is, I guess.
I've clicked the first five google search results for "DSSSL" and not one of them dares to show an actual example of DSSSL code. I think that says enough.

Obesity and sedentary lifestyles are probably bigger factors in declining testosterone levels.
Treasure those moments! They definitely get rarer over time (for many reasons: the amount of work (and so, time) required to reach another epiphany becomes greater, the amount of time you can dedicate to learning (rather than maintenance or leadership) decreases, and the likelihood that you'll be introduced to an interesting new problem in the course of your daily life becomes lower), but they're definitely worth it.
You’d probably spend more time learning LLVM than what it might take you to reinvent your own parsing method. (For relatively simple cases I usually recommend flex and bison, they are simple tools that can do wonders.)

There is more to a browser than the rendering engine. The author in the article is saying that the main benefits of Samsung Internet come from the UI.

Getting to MVP doesn't mean you have to market. In fact, you shouldn't be spending that much on marketing until you've validated your MVP.
Care to elaborate?

Sounds interesting.
Yes. There are plenty of companies using this in innocent ways already.

For example if you're renting a vehicle from Avis in the mainland US and need roadside assistance because your rental vehicle won't start, they can use your phone number (if you give consent) to find where they should send the tow truck.

Next time you rent a vehicle from Avis, call their roadside assistance number to see this in action for yourself.

This is a useful service, most people renting cars are doing so in places other than where they live, and may not be able to describe the location they're stranded at. But it does raise the question of who else is receiving your location information.
You can try Parsec as well. Not created for this purpose but works very well for productivity. In my experience maintains 60fps.
L3 is new grad. L4 is "terminal" in that there's no explicit up-or-out pressure beyond that point. L5 is senior, and I'd say most people don't make it beyond L5 without intent. L6 has a few shifts from prior levels. Notably that a high performing L3 is an L4 and a high performing L4 is an L5 (usually), but simply performing well at L5 isn't enough to get to L6, the scope of work and goals shift between L5/6. You generally won't be considered for L5 without 10+ yoe, as I understand it, although internally you can reach it faster.
Those "floating point" numbers are part of the problem.

It's shocking how many multiply-adds you can do in the time it takes to serialize and deserialize a single float.

On top of that the numbers you are writing (say 0.1 or 0.2) don't really exist in the number system unless the number is a fraction over a power of two. So you get anomalies such as 0.1 + 0.2 != 0.3
OP could have added Andy’s need to remind everybody he attended Cornell as another proof of his point.
Nice! Starred, will definitely keep that in mind, thanks a lot.
Yeah, I was picturing my math education. He could probably get through calculus with cheating, tutoring, and begging. But I can't see him actually putting in the work to get through 200 level courses, much less grad courses.

I'm of two minds about this sort of analysis of social capital.

1. It's interesting; a lot of human behavior involves presentation to other human beings, and social media platforms can definitely be seen as a medium for signalling.

2. It's dismal and reductive and other words that signal that I don't like it for personal reasons.

That's good to hear, James Martin was my favorite host, as he came up the hard way despite going through the culinary school route; but to be honest I liked when they were rotating TV 'chefs' as presenters as it showed how they varied and their respective approaches and cuisines.

As I said, there is a lot to say about that. The idea is that it creates a culture around aviation that ultimately produces good commercial pilots. Pilots from countries where recreational aviation is not as developed are usually not as good, I saw an article about that but I don't remember it. I think it was about a crash that could have be prevented had the pilot reacted correctly.

Ok, a common path for a commercial pilot in the US is to start to learn how to fly in a small aircraft with an instructor. Then fly by himself. But flying is expensive, so many future pilots become instructors themselves, so that they can do a lot of hours and pay for qualifications that become more expensive as planes become bigger and more complex.

When they finally get to fly an airliner, they have a lot of experience, and more importantly a lot of it as a pilot in command (flying solo is being a pilot in command). Not only that but being a flight instructor is excellent training, you have to let your student make mistakes while guaranteeing his safety. In the end, you have pilots with great decision making abilities, which is one of the main reason for them to be there the first place.

This is only possible in countries with a strong aviation culture. Without airfields, without people who just want to fly for fun, you can't be a flight instructors if you have no one to instruct.

Some countries do not have that culture, and future pilots are instead trained in flight schools that train them to be operational as quickly as possible. Problem is: they spent almost all of their flight hours as students, so maybe they know how to fly, but they are not used to take responsibility for the plane.

So letting people dick around in the sky may not be necessary, but certainly contributes to making better pilots.
Knossu is cool but not non-Euclidean... It changes topology but its geometry remains Euclidean. Weird connections and non-Euclidean geometry are two very different things.
