Actually that is not really economic orthodoxy unless you learn economics from CNBC or something. Real economists understand that monopoly, oligopoly often produces a suboptimal outcome. In order for capitalism to work competition has to exist. For Boeing the only competition is Airbus. We have been building jetliners from over half a century. Things like airframes failing after 8 years shouldn't be a thing...

That's an odd assertion. Why do you think that Asia, a massive continent with literally billions of people and wildly varying climates and terrains across it, needs less engineering of structures than other places?
Hear hear. As a quite satisfied owner of 2 LG OLEDs, I agree with your assessment. It's a shame that no other company makes OLEDs. Panasonic just started making then using LG frames, but I don't know if they are any better in the privacy department.

"Volere è potere" - it is Italian. I do not know the origin.

Volere - "to want"

è - "is"

potere - "to be able to" / "to be capable"

It is a much more succinct version of "if you want something bad enough you will do what it takes to get it".
I never got a chemistry set primarily because my parents thought of them as a bit dangerous. I would have loved a set that was "guaranteed" safe just to get anything at all.

I probably wouldn't have become a Nobel prize winning chemist with my n00b/safe set but it might have set something off.
A note to myself: “in theory” here means “hypothetically.”
It's a mild tradeoff the post glossed over: if you're handling IPv6 addresses with a zone specifier, the first use of a particular zone specifier will cause an allocation to intern that string.

Thankfully, the vast majority of IP-wielding programs never touch zones, and IPs sans zone specifiers are always allocation-free. And even for the long tail of zone-aware programs (e.g. corerad, a router advertisement daemon), you end up with one allocation per unique zone string, not one per IP value, which generally amortizes to alloc-free in steady state.
I thought the Pentium was the start of not (publicly) documenting CPUs enough that anyone could build a computer around one?

Drawing yet a bittersweet story. There's one word written all over this experience - "burn-out".

Science, just as any other domain of this human life does need these youthful, dreaming, some may call "naive", yet daring believers.

This energy is precious, just as it is also short-lived and fragile. If it sparks at a right moment and could burn for the needed time, it may bring into view those hard to find solutions to well known hard to crack problems.

However, should it glow at not so right time and for too long, that youthful source just burns out.

The best a wise advisor/mentor could do is to instill some burning discipline. Or the very least to recognize when the burning may become unsustainable. And intervene, channel it, help to recharge, lead.

Perhaps, developing this sort of discipline should be parents' job. Still, a lot of talented and strong minds simply overheat and shut off in one way or another just for self-preservation.

No blame for quitting. I just wonder if there a way to design these young minds for stronger more efficient TDP, so to speak?
On the Importance of Hyperparameter Optimization for Model-Based RL
My understanding is that the three reasons people use Oracle Cloud are:

1. You're valuable enough of a marketing point that they're willing to give you insane discounts to reel you in (see Zoom)

2. You're locked in enough on other Oracle technologies and they've raised your license fees but coincidentally it comes with a big bundle discount if you also use Oracle cloud, or maybe you just failed an audit and Oracle said the problem will go away if you buy some cloud services.

3. For really small scale (like some dude on r/selfhosted scale, not even startup scale), they offer a free tier that doesn't have a time limit
Proof-of-Stake
The point they are making is that nothing in the physical world is going to be truly binary. Even when we try to represent abstract binaryness in specially designed ways, such as we continually do with computing equipment, there are always going to be edge cases in the physical representations used. So they are making a very pertinent point. Trying to deny a binary phenomenon in nature, such as the male/female sexual split, by pointing to various edge cases is just intellectually dishonest.
Yeah, this would make it hard to communicate with people, if even your next-door neighbor doesn't use quite the same clock you do.

Timezones are a trade-off between using your exact mean solar time and a common clock: adding/substracting whole hours is not too difficult, and you're never more than 30min from your mean solar time (that is, unless you get forced in the wrong timezone, like in China where they traded one for the other).

> Who would spend hours watching people play video games

Ask yourself who would spend hours watching people play sports, and it might not seem so foreign.
Yes, I mean in the article. Perhaps I was too brief, but the TL;DR is to use "finite automata based regex engines" and "backtracking based regex engines."

Basically, there's a long tradition of calling the latter "NFA engines" and the former "DFA engines." But doing so is inaccurate and confusing. Especially since "DFA engines" also include things called "NFA engines" that are different from the former "NFA engines" as used when describing backtracking engines.

If that doesn't make sense, then just remember this: DFAs and NFAs have equivalent expressive power. So if you're describing a regex engine that gives you thinks like backreferences, recursion and all sorts of other bells and whistles, then it can't be an NFA. It is almost certainly implemented with backtracking.

You're asking for a lot more trouble if you want to separate them.

Here's a different (and potentially offensive, please put away the pitchforks) perspective. Recently at work, I was prompted by a coworker to look at a code review page for some go code they wrote. I don't normally review go code at work, so something that struck me was that the code review comments left by a go developer seemed quite a bit more nitpicky than code reviews I'm used to seeing as a non-go developer working with non-go languages. A lot of it was minor stuff like styleguide line items (isn't that sort of stuff what go fmt and go vet are for?)

Golang is an extremely simple language (a good thing, IMHO!), but that means two things:

1) a simple language may lack safety features (e.g. anyone can ignore an err or forget to check for nil pointers), which lead to the need to compensate in other ways, which leads to:

2) the bikeshedding bar is very low in simple languages, and it can lead to institutionalizing opinions in the form of styleguide gospels or other types of "improvements" (think overuse of patterns in Java, another relatively simple language), to the point where the institutional rules put off newcomers who were expecting a breath of fresh air but instead find an "old boys club" (in the sense that they don't feel they have leverage to discuss whatever rules have been set).

I also see this phenomenon in other areas, for example, in Javascript, eslint/prettier are supposed to curb bikeshedding, yet there's an awkward dynamic when a new employee wants a new rule, and what follows is 2 hours of bikeshedding with the old guard.
I guess it depends on where you live. I've been in Japan about 20+ years... in the "countryside" I never saw them being built, but here in Shizuoka you see them a lot.

> To paraphrase Peter Thiel, new technology is probably so fertile and productive simply because there are so few rules. It’s essentially illegal for you to build anything physical these days from a toothbrush (FDA regulates that) to a skyscraper, but there’s zero restriction on creating a website.

If websites are this man’s ideal, thank god for regulations.

> you've already passed a pretty high bar to become a SWE

The problem with the algorithm/leetcode style is that you can run it at a very high bar and you end up selecting people extremely skilled at that one thing, but which has very little to none correlation with shipping reliable & maintainable production code.

I've never needed to hire (and surely never will) people who can reverse binary trees with a hand tied behind their back, so that style of interview is not a meaningful signal.
I'm with you, particularly because there really AREN'T alternatives. Most try to blame consumers here for "not paying more", but the reality is there's a healthy pseudo-monopoly in most spheres of tech that we interact with in one form or another and true competition is rare.
Garage is a great example, 100% agree. The sad thing is that what you just said, being able to see everything at a glance, is a taboo in the design circles. The argument they're making is that too much information overloads the user. I don't buy that - we are bombarded by complexity every moment. We evolved to spot prey/threat in the enormous complexity of foliage. Our vision system can take a lot of abuse.

What designers fail to understand is the difference between complexity resulting from disorganization vs. complexity resulting from logically laid out tools on the wall - all available for selection in a moment's notice. The latter is the complexity all humans can handle. We do this everyday when shopping groceries, driving cars to navigating airports.

Pretty much here in Japan the houses ARE considered disposable -- at least if you go to buy a house or build a house you quickly realize that the big chunk of money is for the land and even though building your house will be expensive, it'll be worth nearly nothing when/if you go to sell it. (That's why I've hesitated to buy a house here...)
I'm not sure how this would work exactly but I'm wondering if you're considering federal/military applications? I know the Biden admin is trying to dramatically decrease emissions from federal fleets but the US military has a massive carbon footprint. Maybe you could stick these on the more standard transport vehicles they're running? You might chat with the folks at DIU.mil who look for cool dual-use tech for the government
GitHub and GitLab have a wiki feature that is a sort of crappy wiki with no merge requests.

The problem is that wikis can’t be globally editable without license events so in order to edit the wiki you need permissions on the project.

The PR flow is for the non-wiki where there’s just files in a repo that only active project users can edit but anyone can fork and PR.

So it’s a lot easier administratively than trying to grant everyone edit permissions on a repo just to edit a wiki.

If there was a decent wiki product I would love to run it and just have every staff member with edit permissions. But that’s the dilemma.

> I tried to give a hint about the basic reason of trying to get out from under the weight of a huge code base that had become old and crufty while the very architecture it was designed around was becoming moot since things were shifting to client side rendering already.

I can totally get behind doing a clean re-write of X.org (possibly in a memory-safe language this time around) in order to get rid of legacy cruft that's truly no longer used. They could take the opportunity to refactor the super-popular X extensions like GLX to have better "happy paths" in order to make the overall implementation cleaner and easier to maintain. This could even be done incrementally in order to avoid breaking existing clients.

What I'm struggling to understand is what's so wrong with X11-the-protocol and the popular extensions that ditching everything was considered the best idea? Like, if the X11-to-Wayland transition were happening on the Web, it would be a lot like Google deciding to ditch HTML/CSS/Javascript in favor of something home-grown. Sure, that homegrown thing might actually be better, but it would really leave everyone else in a real lurch now, wouldn't it?
I don't see why. This is exactly how MAGA was supposed to be. MAGA or MEGA, equally stupid.

That was in response to the point already having been made. The more important point is that when those abstractions are harmful to electronics it’s an engineering problem, but when they’re harmful to humans they’re deadly.

Mostly we optimize at the application layer (e.g. we do lazy on-demand WireGuard tunnel configuration, to minimize how much state sits around idle). We also have a small fork of Go with some space-optimizing changes: https://github.com/golang/go/compare/master...tailscale:tail... (most of these changes get upstreamed, albeit delayed by one release cycle).

Aside from that, Go's also just not a big garbage generator in general, compared to older GC'd languages like Java, so with a little care you can keep the pressure off.

That said, if anyone at Apple's listening, it would sure be nice to have, say, 30MiB ;). 15MiB makes it possible to cram a whole mesh networking stack in, but doesn't make it fun.
I live in Japan as well and this it the thing I hate the most! You have half a shower and half a bathtub (unless you go very high end). I'd rather prefer a full shower or a full bathtub instead. Same happens with the toilet, it's a claustrophobic "room" under 1 sqmt, smaller than a ryanair seat. I would strongly prefer either having a bigger shower (no bathtub) + bigger toilet, or a bigger bathtub (no shower floor) + bigger toilet!

Though some Japanese people really want/need a bathtub, so I guess it's just cultural.

I suppose we run in different social circles. I’m not sure what “bad at a hobby” means as the reason I hobbies is because they are fun to me.

I list kayaking as a hobby not because I’m competitive and awesome but because I think it’s fun to float down a river. I suppose if a company expected me to be good at my hobby and judged me because of it, I wouldn’t want to work with them because their culture probably has other stupid parts to it too.

If I wanted to watch all of the shows I'm interested, and purchased all the streaming services that my Roku refers me to when I search, it would be probably ... US$150/month? Basic cable is $20 on comcast/Xfinity. But it is hard to compare because I search for movies rather than basic TV, which I think was your point.

Also, fwiw, UX isn't the only reason I prefer the ATV. E.g.:

- Doesn't Roku track usage for ads and whatnot, or is that just a rumor?

- There's also how well it integrates with everything else. When I go to a search screen, I can use my phone's keyboard to type. AppleMusic is right there, plus I can easily stream from my in-house library (which, admittedly, I almost never bother doing since signing up for Apple Music). I can throw my laptop screen on the TV if I want. Of course, all of this requires being in the Apple ecosystem, but I happen to be in that ecosystem.
