Disclaimer: I work on a stellarator. Specifically, the first MHD optimized stellarator and the first with 3D modular coils. W7-X is the only other one in the world. I feel that the current state of stellarator theory is encouraging. Coil optimization has integrated lots of important factors into their cost functions, including tolerance. Flux surface geometry optimization has integrated theoretical turbulence models into the cost functions. A pure MHD optimized machine will not be a fusion reactor, but we don't know enough about turbulent transport to build a working machine today. We need mid-scale machines to develop the theory. Tokamaks get the vast majority of the funding because their performance metrics are higher, but imo stellarators are capable of matching tokamaks in performance with much less control issues.
This research group does not seem to be using the Delphi method described in the OP Wikipedia article, it just has the same name.

Sad but true, it's kinda like what stackoverflow has become. It's also site of overwhelming group-think.

I anticipate downvotes to prove my point.
Firstly, seriously question the need to document every minimal aspect of the work you do.

Even if you have to describe everything, what’s wrong with a high-level description that gives links to your code repository for “every minimal aspect”? That at least has some chance of still being correct six months from now.

And that’s ignoring the remark “This documentation will be consumed by […] stakeholders who are not tech-savvy.”

Describing every minimal aspect of processes, databases, scripts, functions and API endpoints to them is madness.

Secondly, hire a technical writer.
I'm the same way. Java/Kotlin in IDEA, front-end (js/ts/css) in VSCode, and Go can be either but usually VSCode. I don't really want/need more than what VSCode provides for it.

For Ruby, I'm lost without RubyMine--I work on a huge codebase and lean on the superfast search (with default "*.rb, !*test*" files) a lot, usually restricted to a project subfolder.

I'm really glad they renamed Gogland to GoLand--gland is weird (unless maybe I'm doing Monads in Haskell or something).
Just to correct myself, about Titan M: It does more than just store keys, it also does other things that contribute to security.
Cognitive bias is a weak point of HN, which is the reason why posts like "how I made 1 million selling cheap stuff" are always likely to be on the front page.

It's also the reason why founders have an enormous working drive, most of them fail, while VCs of course are the ones laughing their way to the bank.

Ironically, while colleges often promote themselves as institutions of 'higher education' ... IME the fraction of professors who saw themselves as educators was ... markedly less than half.

In my major's department of perhaps 30, there were at best 5 who were willing and enthusiastic teachers. The rest (it was evident) saw their teaching duties
as an unfair chore heaped upon their higher aspirations. (Their scorn for the actual educators was palpable.) Besides the chosen few, the best teachers - as always and everywhere I suspect - were my fellow students.

Whatever colleges are, or ever were (the 'Halls of Ivy' were but a dream), they are composed of the same sorts of human beings that are found everywhere in life. Try not to become like the man behind the curtain.
Yeah, a quarter of the price, a quarter of the screen, a quarter of the RAM, a quarter of the SSD. Of course the price is also a quarter. The CPU isn’t the only part of that ludicrous $5000 price point
Are Maxwell's equations useful? Electric wires are very unlike the situations you deal with in an electromagnetics class, and conversely there are phenomena no electrical engineer ever thinks about, like the fact that a voltage drop over a resistor means there's a nonzero charge distribution at its ends, and similarly surface charges on the wire have to carefully redistribute themselves around bends in the wire to guide the electrons along it. Unless you work with gigahertz electronics, none of the interesting electrodynamic transient behavior matters either, the circuit always instantly finds the steady state distribution.

That the water analogy works so well also has little to do with the Maxwell equations, if I'm not mistaken, I think it has more to do with the conduction electrons behaving more or less like a (highly degenerate) gas.
Years ago we used this method with a group of neuropsychologists and physicians to develop an algorithm for clinical decision support for traumatic brain injury and PTSD evaluation at the VA. It helped provide validation of a 3 question screener that would get veterans to the right services while not burdening other vets with an hour long evaluation appointment. The screener is still in use today AFAIK. The Delphi process itself was a cool experience and allowed a lot of "cooler" analytical thought whereas committee meetings tend to have problems with egos and hot takes.

Yes, it's gradual typing. Currently we don't have generic collections, so it's just List, but certainly something that we are thinking about.

Dart is another language we have worked on. It has typed collections, but I think we'll do it slightly differently. But passing a List<int> to a function isn't O(n) in Dart, and I don't think I'm promising too much when I say that it won't be O(n) in Toit either :-)

Performance is pretty good, at least compared with other interpreted languages (Toit is currently interpreted). About an order of magnitude faster than Python on comparable hardware.
Do you mean EcmaScript?

> what may be likely to cause harm

Never said that the information needed to be likely to cause harm, but simply can. The exact phrase that GDPR use is "Any information that relates to an identified or identifiable living individual".

An example where any information that related to an identified or identifiable living individual would be harmful would be in a court. Any information about juries, judges, accused or defendant is potentially harmful if abused. All legal systems depend on the presumption of privacy in this regard, and all legal system that I know have processes in places to replace individuals when that harm can be actualized.

A similar situation is possible when it comes to information being distributed to a very large audience. Unimportant "harmless" information can be perfectly safe in a small group, but if millions of people see it in a harmful context then such harmless information can turn harmful. Any person operating a forum, a voice chat group, or a place where any two people meet should treat any logs with the threat model of it being leaked and the information harming real people.

I should have clarified in the above comment that information that related to an identified or identifiable living individual should always be assumed as potentially harmful, and thus involving a risk to the identified person. This is the problem GDPR is mostly attempting to solve, and thus the situation for which the operator need to act on. Similar, if the information is of such nature that it can't be harmful, it is also very unlikely to be information that relate to an identified or identifiable living individual.

When GDPR came it a lot of people asked similar questions as the parent post. What about Apache logs? What about login credentials and sessions. What about CRM and customer registers? The collective answer from that conversation, as I remember (and much of those discussion can be found archived), was that the question depend on the context. If its purely for security then the operator can likely continue on as before per the above quoted section, with some caveats to proportionality. For most everything else, look to the purpose of the GDPR.
> I can't see them seceding control to get a discrete 3rd-party GPU working.

Nobody said the discrete GPU would be 3rd party. I suspect Apple will release their own discrete GPU before long. SoC works well for the long end, but I can't see it being worth it at the Mac Pro level.

Right, so you can add that as a third way electricity can harm you.
Outside of the JVM space, I share the complete opposite sentiment. Go and Rust support in the past few months (close to a year at this stage) have been vastly better with LSP than with intellij (or the more specific products). Rust-analyzer literally just works for me with the vscode rust-analyzer plugin (intellij wouldn't work after a few minutes of googling etc, not a great experience) and I've consistently seen Goland be outperformed in OOTB experience by gopls, as a highly active member in Go online communities catering to helping many new developers.

Fair play. Riff raff was a quick lazy choice. That said, one trip to Yahoo Answers - or whatever it was called - or similar and riff raff might be too kind. :)

Maybe we describe others as "less thorough and more emotional"?

To your point about HN, there's definitely - at least on some topics - a very narrow view; plenty of group think. Plenty of times, I've been down voted for not staying in line. Not for being wrong, or adversarial, etc. But for not thinking with the group.
No, but as far as I can tell that’s not a requirement for the Delphi method.

Interesting. I spent a lot of time in my childhood playing with water in the sandbox, perhaps that made the analogy more real.
This triggered my PTSD with regards to project managers. People whine about agile and scrum etc. but what they don’t realise is that the biggest benefit of those processes was that they replaced project management led, waterfall based processes.

Waterfall failed for many reasons, but one of them was because you’d get asshole project managers constantly taking minimal estimates exactly as you describe and then applying pressure on individual devs when they overrun the minimum estimates.

One of the biggest contributors to developer happiness and productivity over the last 20 years has been to escape this tyranny.
I just don’t understand using Fibonacci... seems like they arbitrarily picked a “tech” sequence with a cool name to seem more legit or something. But 1-10 would do just as well in my book, with 10 being roughly the amount of effort and the number of days in the sprint... so the things should add up to 10 for a full sprints work.

hahaha, that was a hilarious read. Thank you for taking the time to write something funny while also explaining.

I watched this documentary on Netflix called Made You Look. There was a painting in it that sold for crap ton of money - it was literally two rectangles (not perfect rectangles, but close enough. And no, I am not making this up) in different colors. I paused the video and looked at it for a couple of minutes and thought, my 7 year old niece can draw this. What is special about this painting?

So yeah, I guess I am a simpleton who can't understand art ...

> I'm guessing their experiments with scaling up what's in the initial M1-based Macs to more power vs. just maximum efficiency (for instance, a desktop that doesn't need to get 20 hour battery life and can actively cool itself) are turning out so shocking that they know they've got to kill the current product line, immediately.

I totally agree. I believe this is the only reason, why Apple "upgraded" the MacBook pro 13". The new MacBook Air smashed it, so Apple had to do something in the 13" range.

MacBook 16" has the distinctive advantage of a better screen.

I am totally excited about Apple's new MacBook lineup coming later this year. This is going to be really huge.

Yep, the unspoken rule of working until the day's task is done & the fact that one has to be grateful that you have a job & are ding overtime without additional pay.
That is exactly my point. You should be quite picky about the tools you rely on as a business or individual. Most users in one company, if you ask them, are fine using about 10 features with a great overlap, so maybe 20 features overall. That will have very large overlap with other companies in the industry as well. You have a few employees, that use like 50 features all the time. You know them by name as a sysadmin usually :-) and you tend to those people often and maybe even become friends. Those people will do just fine using a very professional/ complicated tool because they will invest time to learn using it. The other people would be overwhelmed. The solution is to use different tools for those two groups.

Speaking of OpenBSD, that might actually be a better OS for most stuff on the shop floor in companies that I have seen from the inside, where Windows is used almost exclusively. The plus being, nobody can really mess around with it. There is usually exactly one app that needs to run 24/7/365 with occasional opportunity to update e.g. during a maintenance window and that's it, anything that causes the app to close is lost time on the shop floor. OpenBSD being minimal is a large plus here.

The average comment quality nosedives when the subject has in any way been politicized. I don’t always follow it, but as a rule for any post about climate, immigration, diversity, and so on reading the comments is at best a waste of time even when the submission is high quality.

Comment quality is generally high on computing related technical subjects—unsurprisingly for a community composed of subject matter experts.

Finally I’ve noticed mixed comment quality on financial posts. There is significant noise but there are many commenters with an excellent operational grasp of how our financial system really works.
I keep seeing this line of reasoning that ClojureScript/Reagent somehow slipped behind React because of "hooks" and "form" (form is a new complaint actually, haven't heard before), but I'm failing to understand what hooks could give us in Reagent-land that we don't already have?

With that said, you can still use React hooks via Reagent if you want to, it's described over here: https://github.com/reagent-project/reagent/blob/master/doc/R...
In academia, your thesis advisor has an organizational obligation to training you as a researcher. The advisor's actual obligation is of course to their own career. In industry, your manager doesn't even have an organizational obligation on your behalf. They're working on behalf of the company. In other words, what you saw in academia is a great preparation for things to come.
I have an imac pro. I bought it so I could make live video recordings without fan noise, and export video quickly.

I bought my assistant an M1 macbook air for editing. It is by definition quieter, and yet reliably beat my imac pro in renders!

I would love a machine with ecc ram though. Way fewer random crashes since I got my imac pro.

As for outputs, I’m certainly waiting for more, though the M1 mac mini isn’t terribly if you get one of those new hubs. It has ethernet, two usb c, two usb a and a dedicated power port.

Yeah there’s are people using the imac pro for super crazy advanced things but many people just wanted a fast quiet computer with ports.

(The imac pro is still super quiet for recordings. But the air is fanless)

Based on my experience in grad school, working in industry alongside people that have been through various PhD programs, and working in different domains, I think there are a number of factors at play.

1. Breadth of work experience. People that have worked different jobs in different industries have more perspective and are less likely to be assholes. A career in academia tends to discourage breadth of work experience. The counterpoint are people that have transferred into academia from industry and these people tend to be wonderful to work with.

2. People that are leading research programs are focused on impressing people outside the department in order to acquire research funding and improve their group or school's reputation. They care much less (if at all) about what anyone internal to the department thinks unless that person is above them or critical to their success. This applies to academic programs as well as programs in industry (see point 3).

3. Research programs in industry tend to be shorter-lived than programs in academia, hence people working in industry need to be more flexible and have a broader network of goodwill than academics. Research is not a zero-sum game and if you can help someone with minimal effort that may result in unforeseen rewards many years later.

Almost all of the people I have worked with in both academia and industry I would work with again. I don't think there is a difference in ratio of assholes to non-assholes across academics and industry. The main difference seems to be that people working in academia seem to feel trapped, which certainly intensifies the experience unfortunately.

How Do 19th Century Spanish Ocean Voyages Compare to Interplanetary Travel?
I've read in the past on the need for old world voyages to send multiple large resupply missions in succession to be able to keep the first initial attempts to cross long distance travels.

I was unable to find the papers I read in the past that described the plans necessary for resupply missions.

Voyages can depict any long distance travel attempts whether on foot, on a horse, or an assortment of land and water vessels.

In the modern age I wonder if the need for deliberate plans for travel are becoming a lost art. Map services and gas stations have almost removed any need planning a long distance trip in advance.

We have waypoints across almost all continents of the earth.

Interplanetary travel seems to be captivating because it is one of the last real distance where there is no going back once we go.

How will the plans for Interplanetary travel compare to old world voyages or even typical plans to cross long distances?
I don’t think JetBrains is going anywhere soon; been using their products for almost a decade.

I don’t measure my productivity by how much code I can write, that was just an example.

The way I work designing systems and architecture, I have already made the solution in my head and basically the “coding” part is just trying to get that info out as fast as possible. I have a similar thing to eidetic memory, but I am so ADHD what gets remembered can be random or missing stuff. I remember all code I’ve ever written, seen, or thought about and tools that allow me to basically brain dump this info greatly improve my production, leadership, confidence, and architectural designs.

The entire article's tenet is: it's because they are women. Why it doesn't extend to other age groups? No explanation. And the idea that Twilight simply is garbage never even comes up. At best it's playing the victim, or pushing cultural relativism, at worst it's an attempt at driving the political division deeper.
