The key word is marginal. Sadly, software tends to align against art as pushing boundaries is marginal for the return of investment.

I can provide an example. I'm writing a programming language, database, and platform to power board games. http://www.adama-lang.org/

Most of my personal investments are marginal to most businesses (or deeply incompatible). If was going to run this as an enterprise, then this would be a death sentence. However, my hope is that when I get this thing moving, then I can ship games quickly with exceptional and redefining reliability.

The only reason I can pursue this as an art is that I'm close to retirement.
> In Europe free healthcare is guaranteed

Utterly false as a general rule, and free is not as glamorous as you make it sound like. Some doctors will refuse to see patients who are on the free healthcare system, too.

> if you need an expensive treatment

Yeah, if you can wait for it. Ever heard of surgery that sometimes take a year to reserve? Well that's the standard in Europe for certain conditions.
Dan, the wealth of the monarchy is widely known; it owns billions in assets - graciously it donated the proceeds of these assets to directly to the treasury. They are literally net contributors on the basis of this alone.

Are You Confused by Scientific Jargon? So Are Scientists
I actually agree with you.

There is a lot of talk about the disparity of justice in America and how we are not actually so free after all. I believe most of this feels good to say because we know its true, but after we leave the seminar we go back to a standard civilian mindset.

What I mean is that we walk and talk out in the world like America is just and the police will be fair with you; it is only when we sit down and examine the system that we realize intellectually that this is not the case. But this epiphany fails to carry down to the reptile brain once we stand up again.

Changing that "walking around" mindset is the first step of self-defense training. It is necessary when dealing with American law-enforcement.

Although I agree that it ought not to be.
In my opinion, location names are the easiest and most memorable way to refer to variants. The tradition is as old as the "Spanish flu"... which isn't from Spain at all.

I don't need pants from H&M, but I need pants from somewhere. Maybe the emissions are higher than necessary, but people do need to buy clothes occasionally.

I'm not so sure that fast-fashion is entirely bad, either. Lower clothing prices have also been very beneficial for clothing the poor. Fast fashion is more of a cultural side-effect of the fact that clothing is now affordable. Before that, people who could regularly afford new clothes were just called 'wealthy'.
Both at my current startup job and at my previous Verizon job, a lot of my time is scaling out existing services and also boostrapping core infrastructure projects that prioritize reliability over adding features or addressing rapidly changing requirements.

Part of that is because I'v become very comfortable diving into very complex, established code bases because of my OSS experience, and enabled by the fact that I've had coworkers who didn't enjoy the deep dive/scaling part of coding compared to adding new features.

A lot of developers really enjoy the spotlight of having added the new killer feature that everyone recognizes, and sometimes that's even different skill set.

So my long winded answer is that there are two main ways to accomplish your goal:

1. Be able to refactor, address technical debt, scale out solutions, debug any problems, and find a team that complements your skillset, and get good at making sure your non visible contributions are known and appreciated. This often means having clear and easily available metrics that can show over time things like: less errors, more tests, faster build times, and so on. Really anything that you can point to that makes it easy to understand your value to those outside your team/org.

2. Become a team lead. A lot of times the tech debt/refactoring work isn't celebrated or recognized, but necessary. The job of a team lead is to both give guidance and enable your engineers to accomplish their tasks. Making code more maintanable, easy to read, and robust ensures your team will quickly and happily progress on their task, and you'll get to share in their successes even if you aren't the one contributing features. Unlike scenario 1, you don't necessarily even have to show as many metrics, as your value proposition is much simpler: Make your team productive and happy.
The way to solve this is with Federal worker's rights reforms specifically around working conditions. It is hard to see that happening with the government very pro-corporation right now.
I built an "X gamers/workstations 1 CPU" type-build last year and this has been the main problem, I have two GPUs, one of which is super old and I have to choose which one I want to use when I boot up a VM.

Thinking in Questions with SQL
> One thing I want to figure out (because I don't have a dedicated Windows gaming desktop), and the documentation on the internet seems sparse: it is my understanding that if I want to use PCIe passthrough with Windows VM, these GPUs cannot be available to the host machine at all, or technically it can, but I need to do some scripting to make sure the NVIDIA driver doesn't own these PCIe lanes before open Windows VM and re-enable it after shutdown?

The latter statement is correct. The GPU can be attached to the host but it has to be detached from the host before the VM starts using it. You may also need to get a dump of the GPU ROM and configure your VM to load it at start up.

Regarding the script, mine resembles [0]. You need to remove the NVIDIA drivers and then attach the card to VFIO. And then the opposite afterwards. You may also need to image your GPU ROM [1]

While their normal perfumes are 130 EUR, they offer a 5-sampler for 30 + shipping, with their 4 other perfumes also having some quite interesting branding histories: https://www.storaskuggan.com/collections/all -- I suppose a parfume you learned about from a wikipedia page is quite the hacker thing to wear!
Maybe this is a naive question, but why couldn't you just pick a bug at random, fix it, and move to the next? You said eventually you worked through all issues in about a year of time. How did having the issues prioritized from the get go really mattered, if you ended up closing them all anyways?

If I had to guess, the magic trick was simply investing in tackling all the bugs one after another for a year until they're all closed out. Maybe you needed to triage them all to convince people to invest in doing this?

One of my 'secrets of my success' moments was realizing that one of the grind areas I reject has to do with the all of the processes of building the application. You stare at that stuff long enough and you might not know how the application does what it does, but you have a pretty good idea of where it does them.

And inasmuch as you've also improved the testing situation, you've also created a system that allows you to iterate faster, which you are intimately familiar with, allowing you to poke at the system in a way that provides you feedback on your hypotheses. Meaning you can learn about the rest of the system on your own schedule instead of being hand-fed bits of tribal knowledge (which often turns out to no longer be entirely correct anyway).
So, I see and understand these arguments in theory -- but, and I don't think I'm alone, none of them are actually pressing?

I'm running Openbox/Xubuntu on a 4K monitor, doing some awesome equivalent-of-4-monitors work, then playing all the steam games I want with the Proton and the decent AMD GPU, all under X. "Font size is a little weird sometimes" is my only gripe?

Put differently, I understand "hacking around the issue" criticism in theory -- but if you applied that sort of purity to, say, web programming -- step one would be, okay, first get rid of Javascript, an idea that I really do like in theory, but I know it's not happening.

It's not necessarily a Chinese lab where the leak originated from (hypothetical, of course). It could be a Russian lab - there are arguments for Novosibirsk Vector biology center as the origin of the leak.

I'm saying the implication the royals are important to tourism should be quantified and supported.

The city statistics include business travel. And I don't know what point you're trying to make with them.
The other commenter is likely right. My other comment was mostly a joke. Those mics are for recording binaural audio. Each ear has a directional mic that's positioned approximately the same distance as human ears apart.

Audio recorded using them will give a sense of 3d space that's supposed to mimic sound as heard by our ears when listened to in stereo.

I think they're mostly used for recording ASMR or VR content?

Though, I've always wondered if they might give a more live kind of sound if used to record acoustic music or something.
You're universalizing something that's by all accounts a very rare occurrence, which I think is again part of the disconnect. If union organizers go around saying "we have to pee in bottles because they don't give us restroom breaks!", that's not going to be very persuasive to the vast majority of Amazon workers who take breaks to use the provided restrooms.
So what is the point of it having a return value at all then?

It's a blank page for me. It does not load at all.

I want my browser to display documents, not to run code. I don't want documents to be apps. The browser already has very sophisticated code to render documents well.

Unless I am really running an app - then this is somewhat fine to use the browser as a runtime. I'll make sure to only run open source apps with it, unless I really don't have a choice.

edit: wait, your page is so close to render perfectly without JS! You can fix this by avoiding opacity:0 in the HTML!

> I prefer indoctrination

Interesting, so you prefer people who don't use their own brains.
I feel so stuck because of this. My government previously said anyone outside has to wear a mask. Even if you're standing in a middle of a field, by yourself, with no one within a mile of you - you need to wear a mask.

This is clearly theater, but society is so polarized that if I don't see value in this kind of theater, then I must be some insane anti-masker who thinks COVID is a government hoax.

So there I go, wearing my mask out, hating every minute of it, but hating even more what people might think if I don't. The government has clearly intentionally lied about things (e.g. government telling us early on that masks don't work, maybe to prevent masks from getting sold out for first responders), but I'm not sure what anyone can do about this situation.
His main points are about accessibility but there's a lot of overlap between accessibility and SEO. Google needs semantic tags to understand your site. It will treat any <a> as navigation and won't do the same for <button> or any other approach. The basic premise that <button> is for CTAs and <a> is for navigation is the golden rule. You can style either anyway that you want.
Honestly, I can't really browse on my phone anymore. I'm... spoiled by FF + uBlock and I can't tolerate all the distractions.

Will we ever get enough traction on either blocking mechanisms or stop shoving ads everywhere? Will the general public experience the pleasures of an ad-less internet?

P.S. I'm on an iPhone, blockers failed me so far. Thanks for the suggestions fellas.
That approach works well for regressions. I’ve used it myself to track down a bug in chrome and, as you say, having no idea how to fix it, I could direct it to the author via the bug tracker. In my case it was fixed within a couple of days. And obviously bisecting chrome is a slow process, but it only took a couple of hours.

I find that most bugs don’t fall into that class, and for the most part, just sitting and picturing the paths back from the bug is enough to work out what’s going on. If you’re less familiar with the code you’ll want it in front of you to trace your way back. In general you can narrow the search space pretty quickly.

Notoriously easy industries for the working class poor to get into.
But I thought we call them "zero day" when they are already being abused. I didn't get from the article that this vulnerability has been discovered and abused by the baddies.

Thus it is NOT a "zero day" but a "critical vulnerability".

Sod the clickbait-y titles!
The movie thing is a good example. I remind my kids that some of these movies cost $1,000,000/minute to make. That might be what they make in their lifetime, so it is about that many hours of work per minute (a life’s work).
That is some fantastically magical creative reading of articles that have nothing to do with what I said.

No. No. No. The US government did not go to SpaceX and say: Design and build reusable rockets. They couldn't even imagine landing rockets. The best we got from a government effort was the Space Shuttle. Impressive as it was, it imploded under its own cost structure.

Source: I worked in that industry for a number of years. It was my job to be aware of these things.

Beyond that. Government contracts are public. Go find a contract where any government agency requests that any company, SpaceX or otherwise, develop a self-landing reusable rocket.

You can't.

How about we don't play this game of negating Musk credit for the incredibly audacious innovations he has championed and the risk and effort it took for thousands of people to make such amazing things happen.

When I joined a mentoring program targeted at recent college grads, I expected to be teaching things like interview prep, resume writing, negotiation skills, communication skills, and how to deliver results in a workplace.

For about half of the mentees, that's roughly true. However, for the other half much of my mentoring ends up being about time management, following through on commitments, and putting in the effort required to get a job done. A surprising number of young people are graduating college without ever having had to work any job. It's particularly difficult for talented coders who breezed through easy CS programs until they land in a work environment where tasks are challenging, expectations are high, and the only way to get things done is to sit down and put in the effort.

One of the best skills anyone can learn is how to sit down, focus, and get work done. In my experience, it's increasing challenging to convince young people that this is an acquired skill that they can practice and develop. There's a growing perception that traits like work ethic, focus, and motivation are fixed attributes that one is born with (or without) rather than abilities that are developed over time. It's frustrating to watch some mentees map out meticulous diet and exercise programs to improve their physical strength, but then turn around and tell me that they're only capable of coding for 2 hours per day as a sort of fixed upper limit. Like everything, the ability to work and focus can be developed over time with practice and dedication. It's worth it.
I will interpret this as Nuclear Powered Scooter the game.
Definitely agree with that.

My own personal experience with difficult bugs is that there is no substitute for taking the time to understand the problem domain, the systems involved, and the code itself. Getting to that point takes significant investment though, and I tend to trust engineers who are willing to do that much more than engineers who don't.

> we can afford to wait and let experts do their jobs

We can emphatically not expect the experts to do their job. Those cited as having the most expertise (virologists who undertake gain-of-function research, symbolically under the auspices of HHS’ toothless P3CO regulation framework) have the most to lose from a finding that the pandemic’s source was a lab leak. They lose all the grants and public financial support, not to mention endure unending public scorn that will haunt the their careers for the duration.

For evidence that the relevant, oft-cited scientists act precisely this way, one need no more than to look at @BlockedVirology’s retweets:
https://twitter.com/blockedvirology

Scientists are human - I would highly recommend disabusing oneself of the notion that they might act contrary to overwhelming human incentives in as weighty a context as investigating the origins of the greatest pandemic in a century.

The only alternative in the face of this embedded conflict of interest in our (society’s) ability to credibly investigate the pandemic’s origins is for technically-minded individuals (who don’t run multimillion dollar virology labs) to avail themselves of the findings gathered to date on the origins (there’s lots! Just need to take a look, the contributors to the above feed are a good place to start), and advocate to their representatives for a credible & even-handed origins investigation.

Failing that, expect no origin beyond all reasonable doubt to be credibly identified in our lifetimes.
> my problem is that it neither matches nor exceeds the carbon output of e.g. cattle.

I am having a hard time understanding this concern. If the cattle and grass combo are releasing more carbon than they're sequestering then shouldn't soil carbon be going down?

Conversely if carbon is building up in the soil despite cattle eating grass and presumably incorporating some of the carbon from what they eat into their bodies, where did that carbon coming from besides the atmosphere?

I really cant wrap my brain around the idea that carbon can be building up in the soil while simultaneously cattle grazing operations are a net carbon producer. What am I missing?
Superficially, it appears to be a very significant achievement for South Korea on top of the existing FA/TA-50.

However there is a long way to go, especially in terms of big unknown capabilities of network/sensor fusion and integration of US systems.

Kinematics and stealth are often the areas of focus when network/sensor fusion may be where the greatest value may lie.

Sweden have had a lot of success with the JAS-39 Gripen integrating US systems as well as enjoying a good level of export success.

The Israeli Lavi cancelled in the 80’s ran into a number of problems that may have included confliction/cannibalisation risk with the then string F16 export market.

Perhaps the KF-21 could represent a low(er) option for the high(er) F35.

Something akin to the low(F16)/high(F15) mix of the 1970’s.
