Muratori has demonstrated to me one time too many that he hasn't a got a clue about the things he's talking about.

To be precise: He may or may not have a clue about some things he's talking about, but I don't know enough about them to form an opinion. But in more than one occasions he went on to talk (sometimes at great length) about things where I know he's mostly or completely wrong in what he said.

I don't have a way to know the scope of these things, the things he doesn't know or understand yet talks about. Maybe it's just when it comes to "systems programming". Maybe it's everything that isn't game design and programming. And maybe he's wrong about games too. As I said, I don't know enough to judge everything he says, but the things I was able to judge convinced me not to trust him and his opinions.

And since I can't set the scope safely, I have to not trust him regarding everything.

For example, while his post[1][2] on ETW being "the worst API ever made" is slightly amusing and has _some_ good points, it mostly demonstrates:

(a) Inability or unwillingness to read the documentation. It would have saved most of his problems. But let's say that to criticize the _design_ of an API we can disregard that for a moment.

(b) Inability or unwillingness to pick the right tool for the task or pure trolling.

(c) Worst of all: Complete lack of understanding of the goals, purposes, limitation, design goals and tradeoffs of the system.

You can't criticize the design as being too complicated, while offering an irrelevant alternative for a "glorified memcpy()" (his words), when you don't understand what it does or what it's supposed to do.

(I emphasize again: I'm not saying the API is a paragon API design and that all is perfect there. I am saying the criticism is both grossly exaggerated and demonstrates misunderstanding of what the API actually does.)

After a couple of those I don't trust him and you shouldn't either but you're welcome to.

I think people get this pretty wrong.

As for the drinks, you can get a mineral water with lime if you need a drink in your hand.

The point of the cover charge for men is to:
Increase the barrier to entry, keep the riff-raff out and maintain a certain level of male clientele. This improves male to female ratio, improves the likelihood of females attending because they have better environment (you should love ladies night- you are paying for the club/bar to set out the bait) and better options to pick from. The higher the cover the less likely you will get into a fight over talking to the wrong girl.

I used to hate cover charges but then I realized like most people I got it all backwards. It's only desperation if you pay the cover, buy the drinks, only to not take proper advantage of it.

Uh, if you think that's bad, I once worked at a company that made communications gear for first responders and the military. Most of their stack was written in Python 2. I'm not talking UI, I'm talking systems software level stuff. Python tied together with dbus on top of a shake-n-bake Yocto distro that was out of date. People's lives depended on that tower of crap.
The iOS keyboard shows your recently used emojis and has a search bar. So it's easy to find what you want.

Additionally many of the gender and skin tone ones are behind a selector so don't eat into the number of emojis on screen.

The point of emoji is to represent real world culture and communication.

I don't use a ton of the Emojis. I'm not complaining because exists.
Could you elaborate what you mean by broken?

I like private registration myself. IMO they should just do away with the address fields, in this age of doxxing and swatting.
Ok well then we are missing a metric shit ton of emojis related to me, and now I am HYPER offended that they're not included.

For one, I'm tall. I see now emoji which emphasizes my tallness. I lie awake each night in excruciating agony at being under represented.

I also have a large amount of cowlicks that make my hair unlike any haircut currently available in emojis, as I need to cut my hair a weird way. I find this egregious that no one has ever thought to include it and now I feel grossly under represented. I would go so far as to call it inhumane.

Furthermore, they have no 5-oclock shadow emoji. As a programmer, other 5-oclock shadow humans will understand my SEARING discomfort that this group has not been properly represented. Thankfully I can grow a beard, but I suspect people who can only grow half-beards are also EXTREMELY offended at this fact that there are no "patchy beard" emojis.

Apple better get to work...
I dont know anyone who wants scroll to be ruined by a dipshit developer. If anyone fucks with scroll or the back button they honestly have shit for brains when it comes to UX. Honestly if someone has a job in UX and they decide to mess with scroll, they need to be retrained.

> For one thing, if you were an advancing species some 12 billion years ago (an era where there’s reason to think that biological life as we know it might have already been possible)

This was eyebrow-raising for me, as I thought the consensus was advanced civilization was only "recently" possible due to the lack of heavy elements in the first generations of stars. The article fleshes out this claim a bit at the end...

> During the period when biochemistry could have first got underway—some 100 million years after the Big Bang—the heaviest elements were woefully scarce as the first generations of stars forged new atomic nuclei.

> Bereft of those atoms, terrestrial-sized planets might have wound up as “carbon worlds,”4 chemically rich in some ways, but with a severe shortage of some of the heavier elements that today’s life fully relies on. Life could have gotten going, but with different restrictions and imperatives.

...but still seems to be making a giant unsupported leap from "life may have been possible without heavy elements" to "advanced civilization may have been possible without heavy elements"

> For the women as the options are pre-filtered and for the men as there is less competition noise

I mostly go into and create circumstances where the same is true of the women, pre-filtered.

One thing I liked about being on my promoter acquaintances' VIP tables is that the women also at the table have been pre-filtered like 4 or 5 times before I ever see them.

1. State department ->

2. Host family (with heavy input choice by the husband) ->

3. Promoter ->

4. Doorman (who would definitely reject guys and gals alike, no matter what name they dropped) ->

5. me.

So yes in that environment, there is also even less competition noise amongst men, because we wouldn't ever fight over a woman given the quantity and only chuckle at our predictably similar preferences if a pattern emerged. But, the selective evolution at play is much more extreme than the general population or the rest of the club.

and yeah, that also allows us to inherit the social validation and assumptions about our ability to provide that many women would also look for, which would be convenient enough to never think about. In quantity, some people are just more forward and assertive than others, so with a lot of women now competing for attention instead of men, this has been a much more optimal use of energy for men. Occasionally relationships are nice too, this wasn't about that.

I had something similar happen, also with an old ViewSonic!

Unplug it, press the power button, watch as the LED lights up briefly (before the monitor discharges), then plug it all back in and it would work.
Right and if they have a file or group of files that are central to the case, all the accused has to do is say, "those were not on my phone" and then the 'experts' go back and look at the read-only image to verify.

If the phone could have been altered to add data before a forensic image was acquired in a way that looks like it was via normal use (reasonable timestamps, browser logs, etc.) then we'd have a real problem. Cellebrite potentially being used to do this as it reads the image is not that problem.

Sure, but that's just because niches are usually ignored by the mainstream. Sci-fi novels are rarely recognized as great works of literature, but I adore them for the ideas they bring up and the worlds they build. So I go look at the Nebula and Hugo awards, not at the Pulitzer for fiction.

Exhalation and Stories of your Life are two collections of short stories that I think should rank among the top few such anthologies. The fact that they're sci-fi doesn't reduce them, but they're unlikely to be really recognized because of the genre.

> This battle is about the _ability_ to implement a feature, and that power should reside with the application developer.

Which begs the question: who, is _the_ developer? I think the argument can be convincingly made that both Roku and Google are “the” developer. It seems to be the fundamental disagreement underlying every modern accusation of antitrust.

Trying to think of analogies for this “dual developer” framework from the analog world and it’s difficult to come up with one that isn’t in a heavily regulated industry. Airplane & engine manufacturers maybe? Certainly no one would say Rolls Royce is the “manufacturer” of a plane but I would expect they still exercise some degree of control over what plane manufacturers can change and do to the engine. If planes with Rolls Royce engines started falling out of the sky it would be bad for business regardless of whether it was Boeing or Airbus’s doing. But the same can also be said for Boeing and Airbus. Probably more so.

Regardless, I worry the most recent claims of antitrust violation aren’t about consumer protection (as antitrust was intended) so much as they’re about consumer control.

You either had bad luck, are doing something to break them, or purchased particularly bad phones.

Phones last years now although first party software updates are frequently only available for 1-2 years and apps eventually are made that require more recent android versions effectively forcing you to update in 5 years to have access to all possible apps. Games may be more aggressive in their requirements as well.
Thank you for expressing this nuanced idea so well.

It ties in with deBord's "Society of the Spectacle" [0], a theory that societies evolve from Being, to Having, and ultimately devolve into merely the Appearance of Having.

Your point about the symbols being tools for communication (as opposed to the ineffable ideas being communicated) is also echoed in Lockhart's Lament [1].

if everyone pays $1 more

That’s a collective action problem. You can’t get everyone to pay $1 more. If your strawberries (for example) cost $1 more per pint then your sales will drop accordingly. It doesn’t matter if all strawberry farms agree to pay more to their strawberry pickers. You aren’t only competing against other strawberry farms, you’re competing against all other food. If strawberries are too expensive, people will eat candy or potato chips instead.

No, if it is more than a mile there is no public transit to those people at all. Don't try to pretend there is, just subtract all such people from the transit roles.

There is one exception: a park and ride lot can work in some cases. though then the last mile is solved. In general I don't like park and ride, but they have their place.
Thanks, great answer
Yeah companies are all pushing their voice control. I'm never going to talk to a computer until it has full sentience.
Completely agree. The new iPad Air even got it integrated in the sleep button, so Apple has the ability to continue offering Touch ID on all devices and keep the full screen display.
You need to disable gatekeeper like shown in another of the comments. It’ll permanently create a new option in your settings to allow installations from “anywhere” too.
Two great managers I've had both regarded this as one of their highest duties.

As an engineer, having someone above you in the chain of command who regularly asks things like "how are you feeling about work? Bad? Good? Are you stressed or content?" is a big deal. Even if the answer is a totally noncommittal "everything's fine" 99% of the time, that 1% is absolutely critical to be aware of.
The intent is not to fool anyone, but to provide a face-saving interpretation when socializing falls flat. You didn't stop in for a conversation that might or might not go well; you stopped in for a drink, and that worked.

Having some other activity involved (having a drink or otherwise) lowers the stakes when interacting with new people.

> It turns out you are 12.4 times more likely to get married this year if you don't subscribe to Match.com.

Is likely to be misleading: unsubscribing from match.com won't increase the chance you get married. Far likelier is that the sorts of people who would have had difficulty marrying in the first place are more likely to use dating apps.

Medication.
I was on Adderal for awhile. It works great. I had to stop due to serious side effects. (Strokes)

However it got me past the mental block of “boring is painful”

I function a good better without medication now.
It’s not where it needs to be to cope with 8 hours of no human interaction, but better.

I tried another non stimulate med. my focus was fine, but I was so sleepy my work was crap.

I’m on Vyvanse now. My kids are on Vyanse.

It works a lot better.

I get some of the same side effects as adderall But not as intense.
Lessons learnt from hiring 8 engineers in 8 weeks
Putting the version in a header looks "elegant" at first, as it keeps one URL for one resource. But in reality it adds accidental annoyance with no benefits over having the version somewhere in the URL.

* Have to set up response headers and caching carefully to make sure different versions are cached separately.

* A bit of extra complexity to set up load balancing.

* A bit of extra complexity to set up web framework routing to controllers.

* A bit of extra complexity for logging to track which endpoints were called.

* Calling the URL without specifying a version gets you some undefined version...

* ... or if you require a version header, can't preview GET endpoints in a standard browser.

* If different parts of the API have different latest versions, you can't encode it in an URL and therefore can't return URLs for linking between resources.

* On major version changes you might be removing, renaming or moving URLs, so why keep them pure and versionless in the first place.

I'm not an expert, but I think you are confused about what 'independent set' means. It's basically 'no vertex pair v,w in the set has a edge (v,w)'

So in your loop example, you can take every other vertex in the loop and those form an independent set (of size n/2 ish). And n/2 is in Ω(n).

It's surprising that graph dbs aren't more popular.

Just as document dbs can be derived/denormalized from SQL dbs, relational dbs can be derived from a graph.

Conceptually, data is a graph.

Homebrew apps only ask for permissions when they get updated because gatekeeper treats it like a fresh install, I guess.

If you're willfully ignorant of the situation, then sure. Otherwise, using leverage to favor your own product over competitors despite user preference is textbook anti-competitive behavior, almost comically so: Not only does it unfairly disadvantage competitors, but it also robs consumers of choice (by ignoring their preferences).

I would love to see one of the meetings that lead to absurdly unethical and borderline/outright illegal decisions like this; did anyone bother to bring it up? Did the person that brought it up get the silent treatment? Were they no longer invited to lunch? Does everyone just understand that those topics are off limits? Or do these people seriously not care because they know they can get away with it?

There is not one way any piece of mathematics is useful, and we don't always know ahead of time what kind of mathematics is useful or not.

That's why it's (a) important to know how mathematics can be built from concrete instances, like you did with your Quake Bot, and (b) that it takes a lot of practice with mathematics to know how mathematical modeling is generally done, so that you can see how incremental advances in higher mathematics might lead to breakthroughs in applied mathematics in the future.

Otherwise mathematics fulfills an aesthetic sense for beauty and elegance in one's own thinking that most people's minds don't seem to support by default. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's just as valid an attitude to the subject as presuming everything should be motivated by applications at first. To those people who enjoy mathematics for its own sake, it's a form of play which might organize something important in the future, that you otherwise would have missed because you're too busy applying some other form of mathematics.
I would be interested in taking a look
HBO Max was delayed in appearing on Roku because of negotiation breakdowns. In the case HBO it was Roku that seemed to have the demands. They are looking at revenue anywhere they can, but if their position weakens look for Google, ATT, and others to simply forgo working with them.

I think Roku is in a perilous position in general. They generated a lot of buzz on Wallstreet with their high user counts. They also purchased a DSP to get more into the advertising game. However they are at risk of being disrupted. They do not offer much that is unique and have largely gained and held market position by being the cheapest and easiest to use.

Cheap Android TV devices are starting to compete with them on price and tv manufacturers have mostly chosen to create and maintain their own ecosystems.

Unless they make some big strategic maneuvers I see them slowly being squeezed out like Tivo.

> Being able to detect the tribal flavor of information so that you can filter it out is what got us into this mess in the first place because it indexed on creating outrage bubbles for clicks.

What you're referring to as outrage bubbles has come about due to a lack of contextualization. One topic this is commonly seen is discussion on GMOs, where both pro-GMO and anti-GMO activists provide misleading facts as supporting evidence in their discussion. In this example and also when it comes to politics, a contextualization engine would be very effective in spurring dialogue and getting people to see multiple sides of an issue.

> When you ask the question, "whose contextualization engine?" and the whole premise falls apart, it becomes clear they have earned any mockery these engines are designed to sheild them from.

Where I personally differ from some of the social networks on this, is I think these should be default on but also come with an off switch. Meaning the user always has the ability to turn them off, but they need to take an active step in order to do so. IMO it's a good compromise.
