Some of these ideas remind me of thoughts I have previously had, partly explored in my essay "Abolish Money" [1]. Particularly, the economy is not adequately described purely in terms of money, rather the 'real' economy is best described as stocks and flows of resources like wood, time, and energy. Money obscures this and hinders our analysis of the economy by proposing these resources are all interchangeable at their given prices, but the qualitative nature of different resources cannot be ignored.

More steps can be good if they clarify thinking (Typescript) and make code more intuitive. Complex apps have complex state and Redux handles that really well. It might no be needed for a TODO list tutorial, but comments like these are what prevented me learning Redux (I was like wtf are dispatch, action, thunk - seems lame) when it's actually a great tool that often reduces complexity.

Also, with action factory, step 1 can be automated.
The default fan settings of those nucs are dumb.

You want to set the cpu total power draw a bit lower, the fan onset temp lower (i know, sounds paradoxical) and the ramp rate in %fan/degree lower.

This means:

- cpu runs less hot at some performance hit. You'd have to be able to live with that. Maybe this works without reducing power draw (I'm neurotical about components getting too hot so I happily accept that)

- fan starts spinning sooner, but slowly, before things get too hot

- fan doesn't abruptly start making noise upon heat increase

Something dubious about this. No one thinks they're annhiliated upon sleeping, then reconstituted upon waking.

Even adhering to materialism, the problem with mind uploads is the same problem as with teleportation:
a copy is being made. Destroying the original does not mean a consciousness transfer then magically occurs from the original to the target. For mind uploads, the only plausible sounding way around this is the Moravec transfer, but even that is reliant on the Ship of Theseus thought experiment having a definite answer.
I don't think struggling to define the definition of life is a matter of not knowing or knowing. It's simply us attempting to impose our invented taxonomy on nature and reality.

This is one of the flaws with Bezos regret minimization framework. Optimizing for a point in time perspective seems like the wrong function for most people.

Life is risk. You make a choice. When I was sick and alone and had some risk of dying due to my circumstances I felt lonely, but that moment does not define my global preferences.

It does not mean that I need / should construct my life that when I’m at risk for death I should have people around me. The question is, what will that cost the rest my life in terms of quality of life.

This is painful obvious if you think about it and yet...here we are.
I suspect that for people who like vinyl, the experience of music isn't just about the sound. Putting on a record, as a ceremony, just seems more appealing than menu-diving down to a playlist on your phone.

> If they live in the US they are taxed by the US first and their home country second

That's not universally true. My home country doesn't require any income taxes from me since I neither work nor live there. AFAIK the US is quite unique in that regard that they require their citizens to pay taxes no matter where they are working or living.
Thanks for the concrete examples! I love it.

The IEEE has taken the first step toward professional software engineer licensing with the "Software Engineering Body of Knowledge" and associated certification program.

I wouldn't say that they are totally unbiased, but the BBC is the most respected international news organization on the planet today. The are definitely pro-western democracy, as opposed to RT, but if the BBC broadcasts outright lies there are open processes to force corrections. The BBC has oversight whereas RT is a closed box that can do as they please.
Saying "CDs have too much treble" is like saying "books have too many adjectives."

And no, for millionth time. Per the Nyquist theorem, the waveform being generated is identical -- the same, without any difference whatsoever -- when the sample rate is twice the frequency being reproduced. Which it is, because the sample rate of a CD is more than twice the theoretical upper range of human hearing.

You can talk about aliasing if you like. I see some people in the thread with super-human hearing can detect the buzz of CD drive motors. But this "digital is not as good because it's discrete and audio is continuous" is complete nonsense.

If you are thinking that the "digital waveforms" (?) coming out of your speakers don't sound as good because they're not continuous, or "choppy," or missing information . . . you're really not making any sense at all.
Many companies are incorporated in Delaware because it has a highly functioning secretary of state and court system. It's not at all a tax haven, having a state corporate tax rate that's around the 6th highest of the 50 states.

> Why should Apple decide what part I put in the phone? If the phone is out of warranty then I should be able to use batteries, screens, chargers or software that is not blessed by Apple's grace.

For a lot of people, this is a feature, not a bug.

It prevents repair shops using substandard components, or even replacing good components with cheaper ones and then re-selling them.

Edit: another much more serious issue, is security. 3rd party components are an obvious target for supply chain attacks.
the SD card problem was enough for me to move from RPI to NUCs
A very long time ago some of the Darkthrone tracks I downloaded from Napster were corrupted and had glitches/noise in them. I didn't know they were glitches, and I listened to this for years and thought it sounded great. I actually regret not having those "damaged" MP3s any more.

60s-era blues is another good example. The recording equipment at the time certainly wasn't bad, but it was not yet perfected. It added a certain sound to recordings from the time that I kind of miss in later recordings.
Fuck you.

I didn't actually mean that, but I want you to notice that you felt the outrage.

Yes, you can learn to regulate yourself. But everyone doesn't currently live in that world. Manipulating people on a really large scale is super easy right now because of how easy it is to rile people up.
ok, so Facebook/Twitter has obviously already decided it is to their benefit that people act like jerks.

So what if they figured out that they could determine who was most likely to be goaded into acting like jerks - like - hey, user 20018 just lost their child, they joined a group for support for people with family members dying of cancer, and their football team lost last night! Start pushing our most highly provocative content at user 20018 stat!

At some point there is a delegation of at least some responsibility - when is that?
I don't need to die to know that the commonly advocated clichés do in fact matter. But you know I need money to make that happen.
Right. And my reaction has been to mostly stay away from Facebook and Twitter.

and then someone actually names their new language MOVA
RT is Russian state media, thus its propagandist, its not a real news outlet. There is no "journalism" tradition there in terms of ethics, trust, standards, etc. It follows the party line and the Kremlin's needs, which currently are to make the US/West look as bad as possible.
Well, yes, but this isn't a new problem and society long ago decided that sometimes it has to protect people from themselves. We prosecute drug dealers, we punish cigarette manufacturers, we enforce seat belt laws. I think we will be better off when we understand that social media in its current form is much worse than cigarettes, perhaps even, all things considered, worse than drugs.
‘Mova’ means ‘language’ in Ukrainian, seems legit.
Isn't it very likely that going the other route would also result in a different but equally long list of issues?
Understanding Encoder-Decoder Sequence-to-Sequence Models (Seq2Seq)
I think you are breaking this down into a sociological statement vs one of individual responsibility.

The first is more useful because the system as a whole may have emergent properties. E.g. think of the opioid crisis and the extra profit incentives for doctors, sales reps creating a vicious cycle.

Hence this is also the best place to frame, and fix the problem.

Of course promoting individual responsibility is good, "don't do drugs" but it is usually not enough.
I am not a tax expert, and I’m speaking from a U.S. perspective, but if the earnings are via stream donations (not ads), would that not be considered a small gift and not be taxable?
TBF the recruiter likely was parroting what a previous candidate they were repping told them. I frequently find I have to re-educate recruiters who were previously informed incorrectly.
Maybe somebody who knows classic Mac well can correct me here if I'm wrong, but I feel like resource forks were also solving a "constrained memory and an OS that didn't do paging" problem.

So the library deciding how to load and possibly when to evict sounds like it was kind of the point. Simulating what might be the job of mmap() on a modern system.
> manufacturers will claim that parts old of software and design is specs are used in the new device

It’s not just ‘a claim’. I can’t think of many systems where this is not true.

The iPhone still contains code from NextStep for example.

I do think old (or new) hardware must be allowed to run open software, so I’d be all for mandating a ‘bootcamp’ equivalent, which did have open specs for implementers.
Lithium's principle benefit is weight. For mobile applications (handheld devices, laptops, automobiles) that wins out.

Lead is at the other end of the periodic table. It's heavy and dense. But the batteries last and last and last, and are well-proven. The lead itself is recyclable,a nd is the most-recycled material by mass in the US IIRC (the USGS reports on this). About 40% of lead production is from recycled lead.

That's an interesting perspective. I would say there is some truth in it, but a lot of small companies get plenty of investment money.
just ask the interviewer the sha of the CV pdf first ;)
They can hire anyone, I can work anywhere. In a properly functioning market, neither side should have any problem walking away from the table if the other side is being unreasonable.

In practice though, companies can survive for months or even years without filling a position and the hiring manager rarely suffers directly for any inefficiency created by not filling a position, while most people can go only for a short period of time without a job before their quality of life starts to suffer. At the same time, corporate consolidation means that in many areas (both geographic and technical) there are only a few major employers, meaning that being blacklisted by any one could be catastrophic for someone's career and meaning only a small number of individuals need to act in unison to manipulate the labor market (driving wages down, spreading bad hr practices, etc), basically all the problems of any other oligopoly. There is an asymmetry of information: the individual will only take on a few jobs over the course of their career and can not afford to experiment much as they go - for any given point in their lifetime, they're basically working with a sample size of 1; even a moderately sized employer on the other hand might hire dozens and interview thousands of people a year and have records of such recruiting data going back decades. Finally there is a social asymmetry - a company trying to poach an employee will likely not face any negative consequences for it, but an employee simply looking at what options are out there could potentially be viewed as disloyal and either be fired or removed from advancement tracks intended for long-term employees - a simple phone call to check a person's references could potentially put them into a much worse negotiating position. None of these issues are inherent, they pretty much all stem from weak labor laws and inadequate social safety nets.
A main developer on site with paid job is necessarily its consumer, not exact producer.
I appreciate the recommendation!

I'd add another recommendation, too, for anyone interested in that period of naval history - specifically, when it becomes reasonable to do so again, I'd recommend visiting both Constitution in Boston, and Constellation here in Baltimore. Constitution is the last surviving of the "six original frigates" referenced in Toll's title, and the oldest ship in the world still in commission; one of Constitution's sisters was the original Constellation, and her second-generation namesake here in Baltimore represents the final evolution of the design to which Constitution and her sisters were built.

Naval warfare in the Age of Sail is a minor interest of mine, enough so that I've read a good deal about it and even written a little. But nothing else I've found has given me the same sense of what those ships really were than walking their decks and being in their spaces has done.

Granted, even that isn't "real", in that visiting a museum can't possibly give a true sense of what it's like to serve or even go to sea aboard one of these ships in her time of greatness. But, short of signing aboard as a mate with one of the museums whose ships do still sail, I think visiting these ships is about as close as anyone can expect to come - and, either way, it's very much worth doing in its own right, for anyone who shares the interest.
> If a language can't be found, they'll probably figure out that it's trap.

Eh... maybe, but there are obscure languages/platforms that don't search well.
This looks pretty good! Thanks for sharing!
IIRC I recall the lack of 'warm tones' on early CDs was due to the technique they used with early CDs to transfer the audio from tape to the CD.

I know my old CDs very much had a weird sorta cold, almost distant sound and I felt that later CDs did not.
Good luck getting Google's ad backend with 20ms latency budget and billions of dollars of revenue approved with the JVM.

Therr are many tasks where what you suggests is just too slow and unpredictable.

Don't get me wrong, I think JVM is great, it's just not systems level programming.
RethinkDB hit many of those spots. Schemaless, built-in management interface, metrics, sharding, streaming...

The closest thing right now is ArangoDB but it seems to swing too hard in the other direction (a boatload of features including a built-in web server).
How was the question phrased? "Do you have any regrets?" and they listed these five?

Was there a second question: "What was the greatest sense of accomplishment?"

Without a counter question of some sort, this seems.... unbalanced by construction.
The pain of TS is when you come upon it as a noob after someone else very advanced at it created it. It seems overwhelmingly annoying and seemingly unnecessary. As you use it though and it becomes easier, you start to notice an overall net gain effect where you cease to make stupid naming mistakes or signature errors or payload confusion etc. etc. Time saved in abundance.
I don't think the article was about pointing out that the original predictions were wrong. It was about the need to adjust them according to actual developments.

About the other points, it is possible that politics had some effect, but I personally rather doubt it. The general assumption that businesses would just waste away energy is incorrect imo. There is always an incentive to become more efficient.

Org-mode can generate latex output but the whole point is to be a more human-readable markup format than latex. Org-mode can also convert your equations to images and display them inline.

Tax law 101: You cannot turn a transaction for a product into a pair of "gifts" between the parties. Where both parties are subject to contracts for services or payments, there are no gifts. Similarly, all "gifts" from employers to employees are considered non-gift income.

A car given to an employee as a "gift" is income to the employee and a taxable deduction by the employer. See Duesenberg (I'm trying to find the citation. I only remember that it involved an expensive car given to a senior employee in the early years of US income tax.)

And there is an Andy Griffith Show episode about this, about Aunt May having to pay income tax on prizes. The tax man was played by the guy who played the priest on MASH.

I just realized that this is not about the Unix "script" command that leaves a file behind named "typescript"

If you ever have a program that outputs a lot of text but you can't redirect it to a file (maybe you need to interact with it)

Then type the command "script" and run whatever you need then type "exit" and you will be left behind with a file named "typescript" that contains whatever text was output in that terminal window.
Do you know any tools that can help you with this?
Well, vinyl is indeed "warmer audio" in a sense, in that it is more compressed and has higher saturation (due to the format properties), both of which can sound naturally pleasant. (It's also more tactile, which adds to the warmness psychologically).

CDs didn't have that great dynamic range or noise floor anyway (they were copied from -usually- 2inch master tapes, so tapes were still involved, and thus noise). 24bit/48 or 96Hz, on the other hand, now we're talking (but still most people wouldn't hear much of a difference in most mixed music, and in the majority of cheap headphones/speakers).

That's not a bad thing. It's also probably not onerous for a company with the resources of Google to deal with. The technical work is already done to handle the US.
Yeah, my current company encourages development in a case-sensitive volume and I assume this is why. But this is more an issue of your development environment working differently than prod than a problem with the notion of case insensitivity per se.
