So... former tenured professor here. I've seen both sides of the coin. I've had grad students who I felt like pulling my hair out about because they expected you to guide them through every single little thing. They were very good at following instructions to a T, but they had to have every single instruction, and if you didn't provide it, they blamed you for not providing enough guidance.

On the other side of things, I've seen extremely abusive colleagues, with recurring problems with grad students (and faculty). All sorts of abuse, from just outright aggression, including physical aggression, to coercion into academic fraud, you name it. In a couple of cases things have gotten attention but most of the time nothing happens, or the student just eventually exits the program without a degree because they've had enough.

I agree with others that the primary difference is that it seems like in the nonacademic world people have more flexibility to move elsewhere. There's a lot of fuzzy overlap between the academic and nonacademic world, but at the moment even in the best circumstances academics is rife with corruption and problems, depending on what field you're in. When you erect a pyramid scheme and come to institutionally depend on it, you're bound to run into problems.
Could you elaborate on why you think teachers in the Bauhaus were Marxist?

I don't know about Moholy-Nagy specifically, but the founder Gropius tried many times to collaborate with industrialists to get Bauhaus objects to be produced (sometimes successfully) and his most famous architecture project was the Fagus factory. I really didn't see any Marxism in his ideas...
This one, I think

Do you have a source for this?
Free clues.
> If you bought an asset and it appreciated you are liable for a tax on capital gains. If you donate this asset that simply eliminates the gain and the associated tax. But this is obviously a thing.

If you donate an asset it eliminates the gain and the associated tax in addition to giving you a tax deduction in the amount of the donation. This is why people like to donate highly appreciated assets rather than selling the asset and donating the resulting funds.

i had to do this for a while. Genuinely awful experience over the citrix thing and best possible connection situation.

> As an aside, I also use IntelliJ on my own projects for Rust. The Rust LSP is getting there, but nothing beats IntelliJ Rust yet,

Thanks for saying this. I'm trying to pivot to using rust for a greenfield project. Just gave up on the emacs rust set up as it was tremendously frustrating to use
> Are you thinking of the Mac Pro here? I don’t think the iMac Pro had anything exotic for GPU compute.

Yup, my mistake. No idea why I was thinking of the Mac Pro.
Any decent project manager know their people,so if Mark says it will take 2 days but in reality takes 5, the PM should see these patterns and either help the person to improve estimations,or adjust project deliverables based on this knowledge.
>remove experimental from --enable-source-maps

Uploading source maps was a pain in our CD pipeline when using TypeScript with Node. I couldn't find any mention of performance implications online or in Ben's post about source maps [0].

Has anyone successfully run this in production?

whats your revenue? just curious. Plans are good.
Thanks
Not the person you’re talking to, but I want to check my inference.

Maybe I misunderstood, but I’m trying to recap your point:

The teams are on a 3 year production deployment cycle —

0.5y - design next gen system

1.5y - implement next gen system

0.5y - deploy next gen system

3.0y - production (primary, solo, backup; 1y each)

0.5y - decommission

Is that what you had in mind?

I think what a lot of people aren’t seeing is what it looks like with multiple cycles overlapping:

You begin architecture design on gen3 1.5y after deploying gen1.

The coding team rolls smoothly from implementing gen1, deploying gen1, and running gen1 into implementing gen3, deploying gen3, and running gen3. (Assuming minimal coders for the backup phase.) It even works out roughly for promotion cycles: an SDE 1 at the start of implementation for gen1 manages a service as an SDE 2 (2yr experience) and can get promoted to SDE 3 part way through gen3 in time for them to design gen5 (having seen two implement-to-maintain cycles).

On the production side, operations are continuous: your 3 years of production overlap with the other team by 1, making the entire cycle for a single team 4 years in length. Your production crew spends their entire time on a commission-operation-decommission loop. There’s no downtime: they go straight from decommissioning gen1 to commissioning gen3.

Expense is the negative: each team needs a full set of architects, coders, and operators.

But nuclear submarines have two teams for a reason, so I think there’s certain domains where operating two full development teams in lockstep like this makes sense.

I think it would help a lot with “legacy” bloat: to have upgrade cycles be a fact of the business structure.
I still have a 4770k. I have a newer gpu, and it seems to be working ok for me. I'm planning on upgrading in 2022 when DDR5 is available.
I have been using JetBrains IDEs for about a decade, after having used emacs for nearly two decades. I have never felt that JetBrains was slow, but I hear that a lot here.

I'm curious what situations people are finding JetBrains' speed to be impacting usability.
> Presumably in an attempt to grow their business and create actual value.

Or not, you don't know. Maybe a friend of the board wants to have a controlling stake in the company and that's the reason.
It can, it's just the non-lunux userspace cannot.

The problem is the fine synchronisation - possible to do with a lot of effort in current linux stack, but most commercial vendors just turn it off because they don't want to bother.
From the article:

If that is correct, Google was completely in the right to flag the domain as malicious and warn visitors.
I love Richard Linklater's work also, especially Waking Life. I was thrilled many years ago to receive a first-contact email from him. (I was, I think, the second featured Creative Commoner (related to releasing worked using Creative Commons licenses), and I think he was the first).

I am usually retired about 2/3 of the time since 1998. During periods when I am not working, I do watch more movies. I am super busy working for a unicorn startup right now, so extra movie watching is put on hold.
You should look up "Conjoined Triangles of Success". It might do something to heal that PTSD.
And Rust, as the debugger only works for Rust in CLion.

I use PyCharm and WebStorm daily, and CLion for Rust projects at the moment.
Nothing to disagree with here. Come to think of it I hope COVID puts more recorded lecture online from Ivy League et al, overall. The only issue is that it's easy to put them behind paywall or student logins or what have you.

One bonus with the Google/Facebook/whatever approach is that you sometimes get academics who became in-house researchers to teach their courses. This was more common in the early days and pretty much what you get out of Udacity. It's true that they train to the platform but there really isn't another way to get e.g. Sebastian Thrun out there anymore. Another view may take that as a broken window, however.
What version of Tesseract, out of interest?

https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/issues/2052 looks like a potentially similar issue reported upstream.
You built your example on 2.5Ah batteries. It only took me a few minutes to find a 7.5Ah battery from Toro that offered better value (3x the capacity for a little over 2x the price). See? Things are 3 times better already.

You're saying that for a commercial lawn care company to switch to electric right now they have to buy chargers that don't exist for sale?

Multi-bank commercial chargers (also known as battery tenders) are a thing. There are many third-party offerings. I did not check for compatibility with Toro batteries specifically, but if is as popular a brand as you say then then either they already exist or will soon.

manual tools that work better and faster in some contexts

Commercial lawn care and leaf blowers/trimmers is the context. It is literally what the thread and comment chain is about. In the context we're talking about: No, absolutely not. In other irrelevant contexts? Sure, I guess?

This is ridiculous. Rakes and brooms work better than leafblowers in some cleaning contexts, like where you have a pile of wet leaves banked up somewhere (mentioned on another thread); blowing them is difficult and slow, whereas they can be moved in moments with a rake.

Is this really so hard to figure out? The original references to 'Rake and Broom' were clearly humorous, but it doesn't take much imagination to think up situations where a manual tool can actually be the most efficient choice. You seem bent on disputing everything rather than admitting that it might be possible to get things done without filthy 2-stroke engines.
Bluetooth LE Sharing was announced a year ago[1], that is for broadcasting to multiple receivers. There's no (nearly no?) products for it yet. It is fairly low bitrate & has some fresh new codec specifically for it, I believe.

I really wish wifi had some standards for this sort of stuff too.

I hate to work with JetBrain tools. Whatever machine I am using them on, they feel sluggish and bloated. Starting an editor takes ages and often it is unresponsive or you can feel the delay between character appearing on the screen and your key press. Absolutely dreadful.
That being said I still use them, because nothing can quite compare despite these awful flaws.
I also use VS Code but only because there is almost no delay between typing `code .` and having an editor ready to type stuff in. It's perfect for quick "sketches" or if you want to check an odd file here and there, but if you want to work on a larger code base, the experience falls short (e.g. navigation between files, searching)
With that in mind, there is still a big gaping market hole when it comes to IDEs - create an editor with JetBrains feature set plus make it as fast as VS Code or Sublime and you'll be a winner.
One more thing I cannot understand is that literally every editor's search functionality is more or less useless for bigger projects - simple thing like "and" and "or" operators for keywords are yet to be found. Sure some allows you to use regexp, but that is a pain and not how people are used to searching when using e.g. google or github.
Yes agreed. I find it's pretty easy to tell comments and stories where people are genuinely interested in learning things, and those where there is a lot of "advocacy" or meming of a political position they heard from somebody else.

Some subjects attract a lot of the latter comments. This applies to both technical and business stories.

IMO if you want to get more value, then learn to tell the difference, and don't spend a lot of time "arguing with people on the Internet". You could do that forever on HN, but you can also get a ton of value out of it if you spend your attention wisely.
Some of the new DeFi projects don't reveal the names of team members. The market is just that frothy that people buying the tokens don't care about the CEO.
Sure seems like its past time to put down the smartphones, close the social media accounts, and be done with as much of this garbage as possible.

I’ve got myself down to < 20 minutes of screen time on my smartphone, daily. Now to see if I can make it the final distance, and be free.
Non correct. Understanding of the form is a must. Drawing what you know is the basic principle. If you draw what you see without understanding of perspective, basic forms etc you will end with optically build representation of reality.
In case of the eye you must know how anatomically is constructed and draw by combining your knowledge with what you see.
“Anonymous payments. Use any cardholder name and billing info if you want to make a purchase that you don't want to be associated with you.”

I’m not an expert by any means, but that feels like something that would be illegal and/or a violation of the TOS of Visa/MasterCard because it inhibits the ability for the card processors, banks, etc. to detect and prevent fraud and to meet requirements to notify the government of suspicious transactions.

Anyone have more info on how that all works and the legality of it?
Why don't these vendors lose the certification then?
It (in theory) doesn't reduce the _market cap_, but it reduces the voting power of existing stockholdings and that is certainly bad for those shareholders.
If those are your reasons then realistically I don't think you'll be happy with relocation to anywhere on Earth. The best you could do is to get a short term visa to a country with a different culture - enjoy the first few months, and get back before you discover the same (or a different type of) social malaise :)
The more interesting question is: Why did Agile beat PMI?

Because project management is not a critical success factor.

Most projects are late, buggy, or outright failures.

One response was to improve project management. That worked okay. But like with most knowledge work, requires some effort.

Another response was to accept the failure rate and simply throw more resources at the problem.

aka Worse is better.
Whether accurate or not, my personal perception of IDEA vs. Code is that IDEA wants to own my development workspace while Code just works with whatever files I've decided to check in.

It's a real shock when I occasionally try an IntelliJ product and it just swallows up my entire project repo and injects lots of magic.

There's absolutely pros and cons to both. And I don't see them as competing for the same class of editor.

I guess it's kind of IDE vs. Text editor. Though Code certainly looks more like an IDE every month.
How many of them actually need to say so before it makes sense to you? 10? 100? 1000?

This is part of what I mean by how "cancel" is only applied to the powerful. How many managers are needed to fire someone? Often, only one.

https://www.theverge.com/2014/4/3/5579516/outfoxed-how-prote... reports about one of the fellow travelers:

> On a rainy morning this week in San Francisco, newly appointed Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich sat down for coffee with one of the people calling for his resignation. Hampton Catlin, a prominent developer of apps for the nascent Firefox OS, announced he was abandoning the platform due to Eich’s handling of the disclosure that in 2008 he donated $1,000 to the fight against same-sex marriage. California’s Proposition 8, which passed with 52 percent of the vote in 2008, made same-sex marriage illegal in California until the law was overturned by the Supreme Court. Over the course of an hour, Catlin explained the suffering that Prop. 8 caused for him and his partner, a Brit who couldn’t immigrate until marriage became legal. Catlin asked Eich for an apology. He didn’t get one.

And it's not like this reaction was out of the blue:

> ... For starters, Mozilla already fought this battle once, in 2012. That’s when Eich’s donation first became public, leading to a firestorm on Twitter.

The Verge also links to https://twitter.com/iamjessklein/status/449233331352514560 "@amjessklein Have waited too long to say this. I'm an employee of @mozilla and I'm asking @brendaneich to step down as CEO.", so there's at least one.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hampton_Catlin says "After a large public outcry and several Mozilla Foundation employees publicly calling for him to step down". So there's at least "several".

Is that enough for you? If not, how many are enough?

To get back to my main thesis - which is that "cancel" has a built-in bias against left-leaning views - we need only to look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooper_Firearms_of_Montana#Pol... , where the founder and CEO was ousted for supporting Obama. I don't see any mention of employees there, and while discussions about "cancel culture" often mention things like Eich's situation, they rarely include Cooper.
I think there are a few reasons it feels more like a forum than social media:

- No social network of friends/follows/circles

- No advertising

- No notifications on replies/threads

- Good moderation
It's also amazing to me when people point to a dictionary definition, they don't seem to consider where that definition comes from. In this case, Google's definitions come from Oxford Languages, which describe their process:

"We take an evidence-based approach to language content creation, looking at real examples of the ways words are used in context to provide an accurate picture of a language.

To gather this evidence, our corpora – massive collections of spoken and written language data – track and record the very latest language developments across an enormous variety of publications, covering everything from specialist journals to newspapers to social media posts."

https://languages.oup.com/about-us/how-we-create-language-co...

So let me get this straight: Oxford comes up with their definitions by consulting people who have the power and agency to write and publish media. Wouldn't this exclude marginalized people? Incarcerated people? People who are not rich enough, educated enough, or connected enough to be able to afford the ability to publish in the mediums Oxford adds to their corpus?

If the definition comes from books, journals, newspapers, and social media posts, then its going to reflect the thoughts and opinions of authors, journalists, and people rich enough to afford a computer and internet connection.

All this is saying is that the definition changes depending who you ask. So when we want the definition of a word that has a clear power component involved, it behooves us to ask both sides of that divide as to their definition of the term.
That pamphlet is wild. It reads as really paranoid, but I totally agree with it. It seems like Delphi isn't at all resilient to being run by bad intentioned people. This make it terrible for something like setting public policy.

It doesn't make it worthless, though. If you had a 20 person company where ownership was legitimately interested in getting the best answer to the problem, maybe this is an efficient way of doing that.
To my understanding, they mapped all of the CC bindings from their digital mixer into Reaper and then routed the audio through JACK. They had a double monitor setup that seemed to be running a pretty standard Reaper setup (with Bitwig as an optional backup), as well as a smaller integrated monitor in the dashboard of the mixing console (which must have been running a custom UI). They were hooked up to a pretty sizable NAS, and they made a pretty large emphasis on separating project files from the OS. It seemed like the secret to their workflow was weekly backups of the OS partition with redundancy for the mission-critical components. Their round-trip latency was also pretty impressive, with less than 10ms for software sources and 30ms for hardware sources. All of it was running on an older Threadripper workstation.

Drones: They have, but this is like how in WW1 the role of aircraft was to spot targets for the army & navy, while in WW2 air power was the decisive factor in the war and the army / surface ships would come mop up after your bombers had flattened the enemy forces. Right now we use drones as support craft for reconnaissance & assassinations. It's likely that the next "big" war will be fought almost entirely between drones & robots and humans will come in afterwards to mop up after one side has a decisive advantage (or get hunted down by a rogue AI gone wild - personally I think that outcome is more sci-fi than real though). Armenia/Azerbaijan gives us a taste but the drones in use there are still largely manually-controlled consumer craft rather than fully autonomous swarms.

Self-driving: Right now, the biggest problem with self-driving car adoption is that when anyone dies at the hands of a self-driving car, there's a huge press outcry and the whole program gets shut down. That calculus changes dramatically if the other side is actively trying to kill you. Then, it becomes a huge advantage to not even send drivers into the war zone, and resupply with automated logistics lines. Instead of becoming an invention that potentially kills people, it becomes an invention that saves lots of people, because the baseline shifts from "nobody ever dies young" to "young people are actively trying to kill each other". It also gives a huge advantage to the side that adopts it, because they can resupply as quickly as they can build materials instead of losing costly human lives in the effort, and the vehicles themselves can often follow evasive routes that wouldn't be practical for a human crew.
Cool article. The four corners area has an astonishing variety of climates and terrains. In many ways this is a strength for the region, but microclimates are delicate and climate change led to massive disruptions in a delicate balance.
As an aside, I'm glad to see that 'Ancestral Puebloan' has superseded 'Anasazi' as the demonym for the Chaco Canyon & Mesa Verde civilizations.
This! I have been trying to switch to VS Code for dotnet core projects, wanting to ditch Visual Studio. It's clear that Microsoft is - willingly? - keeping VS Code an arm and a leg away from being close to Visual Studio. Refactoring is a hit and miss, the language server will randomly need kicking, code completion is at times outright trying to sabotage you - inserting random classes - and the whole experience makes impossible to consider switching to it.

And even their poster child language, Typescript, is handled by the code editor in a manner that's borderline unusable. If you ever used WebStorm the inability of VS Code to autocomplete with types defined in the same project is mind boggling.

All this said I still reach for it a lot, until I have to stare at a red file with an error on a line that's no longer there until you restart the whole thing and question my sanity.

Slang/incorrect use. Used to show emphasis.

A better use would be: “I literally have the best intel mac and the m1 air beat it”

In that case it is literal. OP probably just switched it over to a case where highlighting literal ownership is superfluous.
