Mix-tapes have been around forever, they just did not materialize very well in the web. I have created a similar software called Audius (audius.rockdapus.org) 3 years ago for the same reason. If you listen to a wide variety of music, algorithms only get you so far, in the end you need random inspiration from your friends and strangers. The last 3 years I have discovered tons of new music through algorithms AND my social music networks. I have build up a music group with my friends and joined several other music groups and I can assure you it's much more than marketing.

To the user engagement it's the same as in all other (social) networks you have a quote of 1 out of 10 people (if you are lucky) that post content and only a critical mass of engaged people will keep a community alive.

This is my experience too, I wouldn't recommend people use them unless they really understand the costs. The last time I used them was to help manage my dotfiles, so I could use them with Pathogen to pull in my selection of vim plugins. It was just a headache, to the point where I bit the bullet and went down the package manager (vim-plug) route instead.
I understand where are you're coming from, but I would rather see modular and stackable pieces affordable by ordinary users and hackable for power users.

Hackable mainly because of the nature of neural networks - their architecture matters.

Historically, the data protection law (LPD) was more intended to protect the individual vs the State, than the individual vs private companies.

Roboticist Behind Mars Helicopter Says First Flight “A Wright Brothers Moment”
The secondary air combustion for wood burning stoves usually doesn't require electricity. At least, we shopped for an EPA 2020 compliant replacement wood stove a couple years ago, and I don't think I came across that needed electricity for combustion. Pellet burning stoves often do, and there are often add-on kits for wood stoves to provide greater air circulation for the room, but the primary and secondary combustion use the natural "draft" from the chimney. I guess it's possible that even higher efficiency would be possible for bulk wood with a forced air design, but I don't think they are common. We ended up with a Progress Hybrid Soapstone, and have been happy with it.
Thanks for the tip! Bookmarked, will look closer at OSQuery after vaca.
Ugh, I'm this guy and I hate myself for it.

My background is physics, but most recently was a TA for classes for people in Aero/Mech/Astronautical Engineering (courses were shared between all three programmes) doing this stuff.

In that department, beyond the courses covering this stuff which were compulsory, there were additional optional courses for 3rd and 4th year students to do C programming and more advanced numerical methods and stuff like programming paradigms for HPC.
But that's the point. They don't have to do anything. They will use words in certain ways, and the meaning will change. And if enough people support that meaning, they will be eventually be correct.

Consider how the meaning of epicurean has evolved due to Christian influence over time. Now matter how much education people get on the topic of the original philosophy, it will not be sufficient to erase the alternative meaning of the word.

If you're running deadlines so tight or your bench is so shallow that any employee ducking out a day here and there is causing big problems, you have a planning/staffing problem.

The spontaneous employee vacation days are just making that problem more obvious.
No. A lot of people record voice messages, but they need to be in an environment providing enough privacy. But messengers emphasize text heavily in their UIs - again because of keyboards. Keyboard less touch devices are too novel an innovation compared to when instant messaging was cast into its final form.
I mean, there’s an upper bound on how often that can happen (how many personal days people have). Those days are intended to be used at short notice. So if people using them is a problem for the team, imo the team is not correctly matched to the workload.

I do think we often undersize our teams by ignoring the impact of vacation and personal time in taking on work ... but that’s not the fault of the people using the time they are entitled to as part of their compensation.

The gist of what he's saying is pretty sound, but he should have gone deeper. For a deeper argument on the importance of "text", the written word, exposition - I recommend reading Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death.

People here are suggesting that images/video are superior, but there's the cliche, "a picture is worth a thousand words". Well, which thousand words? Do they convey the same thousand words to you as they do to me?

Words leave nothing to the imagination. This is one of the most important traits of good exposition. Its arguments/messages are out there, free of the primate dominance gestures, the biases, the emotional stimulants, waiting to be vetted for their logical soundness.
It's a good article with a lot of solid points, but that section had me rolling my eyes. Sure reads like someone pining for exploitative "startup" culture to get more than what they are paying for out of their employees. If you consistently feel the need to impinge on your employees weekends or PTO, that's a management failure, not an entitled employee problem.

> Entitlement - everyone working in the tech space is SUPER LUCKY.

Few good things in this but I found the remark about weekends a bit much.

I chose a career in a space I don't need to work weekends.

And none of it is luck. It's careful planning 20 years in the making.
yes, but sometimes when one is writing fast one makes slight errors that don't make much difference overall, thus:

If you send out a tracking pixel that is

1. designed to track user reading of emails per user

2. and the user has not opted in to the tracking

3. and the backend implementation is look up tracking pixel id and lookup user assigned to that id and look up if user consented

4. if not consent do not track user read email.

I'm not sure that scenario is against the GDPR either, although it may be that the company is told at some point - do not send out the pixel if the user has not said they agree to be tracked...

so, I don't think that it made much of a difference in my argument.
Do companies actually find themselves tons of employees that care so deeply about their mission that they sacrifice pay, equity, promotions, life interests, weekends, and benefits for "the cause"?

I get having a team of 20 that is like this, but it does not seem like a concept that scales unless you are SpaceX.
Miners are motivated by profit, if your cost of electricity is lower, your profit is higher. I’m not sure why you are trying to obfuscate that simple fact.

Writing is like many processes - in the final show, the scaffolding has gone, the drafts are discarded, the tweaks and feedback are hidden, and all you are left with is the final revision of a very long chain and a "wow!".

Every small step made an improvement, great writing is rewriting, and the steps accumulate over a longer period than you can see from the final text.

Well, there's also a cost to connecting the other two major grids, and Texans have collectively decided that this cost is not worth it. Energy sovereignty is a concept we talk about in the context of nation-states, but it's also applicable in the context of States.

Most Texans have a different idea of what energy production should look like than Californians or New Yorkers. They get to enjoy the upside of that independence, but they should also suffer the consequences. The vast majority of people that might disagree with them likely don't live in Texas, and are most likely unaffected by that decision themselves.

The thing is, with emojis the differences introduced by font designers can be very subtle. In the GP's case, the laughing emoji seemed so much out of place and violated social protocol so heavily that I assume the confusion was probably cleared up later on.

But what about cases where a font designer changes, say, an emoji face with a light, content smile to a shy smile? This has the chance to undermine the entire emotional content of a message, without sender and recipient ever noticing.

For a more concrete example, have a look at https://emojipedia.org/beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes/ . Is it just me who thinks that the glyphs by Apple and WhatsApp show a beaming face with a somewhat sly touch whereas most others simply display happiness?
Any industry where there's a massive power differential between "the boss" and "the employee" will likely have this happen.

Hell, you still get it in normal business. The stories my wife tells about former co-workers and bosses are disgusting and a primary reason she no longer works at a former employer.
My first question as well. I guess they pay quite well...
>most email platforms don't have the ability to add a pixel on a per-recipient basis.

right, which is why I assume that they would add the pixel and the company would decide to not track the non-consenting users at the backend. Everyone has the pixel, but only consenting users get tracked by the pixel being requested.
I find the idea that the best paid people in the industry are entitled to be a bit rich.

Clearly there is unmet demand for quality engineers or you wouldn't be paying that much and allowing perks to dictate the balance of life equation so royally.

Maybe we're not paid enough.

It's like you're welcome to pay less, watch the talent dry up and move on.

I'm sure you'll be fine?

Doesn't Google still make roughly 150x what their employees are paid?

> how do people maintain their integrity in such a foul environment?

They can not require sexual favors when they are about to decide who to help. This ability is entirely within their possibilities.

Because really, the biggest integrity fail in this is sexual harassment, making business decisions based on sexual favors (demanding ones or accepting them) and abuse of power.

The author has a hard time telling apart what works, vs what aligns with his personality and energy levels.

Not everyone who is an excellent contributor needs to be willing to work on weekends or have that 'go-getter' energy.

The optimal path is one of optimizing for the path of least resistance, while this fella seems intent on rushing ahead, head first, until something breaks, or as he calls it, gets 'worn down'.

Of course if you lack the brains to be able to comprehend what the path of least resistance is, the next best thing is to be extra energetic and try everything until something sticks.

That's this guy in a nutshell. This type of approach to life is often destructive and abusive, what the author calls having a 'short fuse'. These extra energetic folks need to be reigned in by people who have a working brain, then the extra energetic people can be excellent. This can be seen in sports, where a group of intelligent people take extra energetic maniacs and mold them into championship teams.

I prefer text simply because I can read the same text faster than anyone could dictate it to me. Plus I can CTRL+F through text.
An important topic here is that shame is also a construct, and it is a collective construct. Certain things are shameful in one culture, not in another.

This isn’t to say that we don’t have a gut feeling when something feels wrong. We have an inner sense of boundaries which eg. can be damaged by trauma and deeply affects our ability to connect and such.

But when it comes to adult relationships there is a wide spectrum of behaviours and unless everyone tells you something is deeply wrong, I think there are times and places where people may not endure the same sense of shame.

I don't believe complaints about covid reductions to perks are unique to tech or well paid jobs however. My father is a slightly above minimum wage factory worker. There was plenty of grumbling in there when they shut down the 50% subsidised canteen with covid too.
I think the author is correct that some big tech companies create a culture where going to 11am yoga is more important that crunching out a few more lines of code. He's correct that if your focus is on building and scaling product, this culture reduces the velocity of change. However, I see a couple of things the author is missing:

1) Work life balance is about employee long term retention and places like Google spend a lot of energy in hiring, so they optimize for keeping the people they hire.

2) Sometimes an 11am yoga class frees your mind enough to foster creativity. Raw working hours may be reduced but novel solutions might increase.

3) Some tech workers have figured out the odds of hitting it big in a startup or having the next billion dollar idea are not that likely. Instead, they've optimized for a far above average salary with work life balance. There is nothing wrong with choosing that path and this is where the author is missing empathy for people who didn't choose his path.

Actually I'd bet that neurologically sex is far from power games, but along each growth the system gets used for personal benefits rather than union. Might be a cultural lens too.
Yeah, so I think this clears up why. I don't think that "serious undergraduates or graduate students" statement was aimed at physics folks, but at more like CS (and possibly EE) folks. Who would also normally learn (say) programming paradigms, algorithms, data structures, low-level programming like C, etc. in their first 1-2 years, which are topics I'm guessing you wouldn't be covering as physicists. For students in CS (or to some extent EE or more nearby fields) to go in this direction in their first 1-2 years, they'd need to have a very unusual amount of interest in numerical techniques to defer other basic topics to later years (or just overload on technical courses and defer humanities to later).

Being an IC is very hard if you want to do the job well. The risks are also underappreciated (massive burnout, etc). It should be compensated fairly.
Of course, the correct way would be to write down all the steps, operationalise them, and then implements parts and then the whole as a shell script.

The question I would ask is, whether this should be necessary to pin the version of some project dependency? That's basically all we're talking about here.

>Circuit and design techniques are presented for enhancing the performance and reliability of a 3-D-stacked high bandwidth memory-2 extension (HBM2E). A data-bus window extension technique is implemented to cope with reduced clock cycle time ranging from data-path architecture, through-silicon via (TSV) placement, and TSV-PHY alignment. A power TSV placement in the middle of array and at the chip edge along with a dedicated top metal for power mesh improves power IR drop by 62%. An on-die ECC (OD-ECC) scheme featuring a self-scrubbing function is designed to be orthogonal to system ECC. An uncorrectable bit error rate (UBER) is improved by 10 5 times with the proposed OD-ECC and scrubbing scheme. A memory built-in self-test (MBIST) block supports low-frequency cell and core test in a parallel manner and all channel at-speed operation with adjustable ac parameters. The proposed parallel-bit MBIST reduces test time by 66%. A 16-GB HBM2E fabricated in the second generation of 10-nm class DRAM process achieves a bandwidth up to 640 GB/s (5 Gb/s/pin) and provides a stable bit-cell operation at a high temperature
