IIRC that filter only runs on initial submissions, so you should be able to edit the 100 back in.

In any case, I think the copy on the website is much clearer (“100 paying users in 100 days”). I initially interpreted the title to mean startups are paying “users” to beta-test/astroturf services.

I'd be happy to guide you in the right direction with that. What engine or GUI toolkit are you using?
Heavy load in my case is a few dozen terminal tabs, six of which are running TPU training jobs, 40 chrome tabs, a few of which are playing twitch streams and YouTube videos, a half dozen instances of pycharm, one webstorm, one clion, around 35 macvim windows, and a few dozen PDFs open in Preview. I’m not exactly representative, but I think the stddev of usage patterns is high across developers.

The unfortunate part is, when it freezes, it does the beachball for a full minute before I successfully execute a “switch to activity monitor / s click topmost process / force quit / confirm” sequence. Each step takes around 45 seconds to complete. I assume Apple QA never tested the extreme edges of workloads.

One poor guy on Twitter is already up to 18% of his SSD lifetime, in the first three months of having an M1. We had a heart to heart about how silly it was that the drive will die within a year, that Apple better replace it under warranty, and so on. But it’s a coin toss whether he’ll just have to eat the cost and buy a new one: https://twitter.com/_wli/status/1364934834229977090?s=21

I agree with you. There are way too many "X used to be better" for all of them to be true, most likely you don't remember all the bad parts.

I remember when half of search results would be pages literally filled with nothing but keywords to get hits. I remember getting a ton of programming results from forums that couldn't even format code snippets properly.

Not to be dismissive of other people's subjective experience but it seems to be like nostalgia glasses remembering things in a more favorable way from the past.

That's why the word "blanket" is included there - if you just give Firefox and Firefox alone a royalty-free H.264 license, that's not compatible with Free Software, you can't legally fork it without getting another patent license that will almost certainly cost money.

AFAIK the thing Firefox refused to accept wound up happening anyway. Cisco released a nominally BSD-licensed H.264 decoder and agreed to pay the maximum royalty possible to MPEG-LA. If you use their specific codec binaries, then you're covered under the patent license. So Mozilla wound up writing a new plugin framework specifically to host OpenH264 so that WebRTC could have a standard codec.
This is not the point.

40 years of architectural advantage is X86 electing to forego results of 40 years of advances, and improvements that every other sane ISA had, and instead trying to add them by increasingly complex "workarounds."

Giant transistors counts go to allow X86 cores to not to break ISA compatibility with a 40 years old chip, while trying make new ISA features to live along with it.

Given this appeal took place in England (and not in the Supreme Court), it was all English verdicts which were overturned as I understand.

The requirement for corroboration in such a situation would probably be met by having someone "speak to" the digital evidence and audit trail.

For example, if you have CCTV evidence, the CCTV is one piece of evidence, and it would be corroborated by a witness statement of the victim identifying them from the CCTV.

Corroboration is an important and useful safeguard, but I don't think it would necessarily have outright prevented this. Perhaps it would - maybe it would have raised the bar on scrutiny of the evidence, by there being a general higher expectation?
Is there a software platform that more accurately tracks how software is actually developed?

(I'm using JIRA below, but sub any other tracker I've used)

Generally I'll start with a very rough idea of how something should work. At this stage, I may not even capture a task in JIRA, or perhaps not even tell anybody I'm trying something out, because it is an experiment very likely to fail.

If that works, I'll put together a document (Dropbox paper/Google docs etc.) laying out the basic idea and what needs to happen to fix the problem at production quality.

This will surface a multitude of open questions, some of which are more around code-reading and prototyping, than again, a deliverable that can be captured in JIRA.

In addition, as the project becomes more of a reality, other teams with dependencies or concerns are pulled in, and the scope of my document expands to capture how we are going to solve or work around those problems.

The difficulty I face is that it is really annoying or sometimes even incoherent to create JIRA tasks capturing things in this document. First, because I am now duplicating work that was already captured in the doc. Second, I'm losing the narrative structure that keeps it all coherent in my mind, as well as the minds of readers. Third, it is near impossible to reconcile tasks being closed in JIRA vs keeping the doc itself live. For example, something might come up that forces a change of design, and now I'd like to throw away all JIRA tasks related to a specific section of the doc. But creating that level of specificity while filing tasks is really hard, so now I need to run some kind of triage and manually read and filter those tasks I want to close. This means I'm either procrastinating on updating JIRA to reflect the real nature of the project, or I'm procrastinating on updating the narrative.

Instead, if the tasks were somehow inlined into my narrative structure, and manipulable within that structure, that would be really cool! Something along the lines of Tiddlywiki almost. That way everyone on the project could see what is done and what is pending _as part of the narrative_. I can very easily write sentences to capture a new requirement and do some markup or keyboard shortcut to assign it the semantics of a task.

I guess a related ask here is to make it very easy (thinking of something like Grafana) to create dashboards that show things like "number of open tasks left to finish feature X" and so on.

I hope I'm getting some of my ideas across.

Anecdotes in support of this comment:

I lived with a orthopedic surgeon doing a specialization in pediatric orthopedia.

He was very very very good based on my understanding of the places he had worked, the offers he had to undertake his specialization, the change in operation waiting times and his model of how he worked within the hospital, and that immediately after returning to his home country he was head of the newly created orthopedic pediatrics ward.

His description of how he would approach a surgery was straight-forward:

- he would review the surgical referral, his notes from his patient intake

- he would review appropriate notes and documentation from the hospital on the allowed surgeries allowed, including reference texts on that particular surgery

- he would create a full plan for entering, performing, and exiting the operation

- (surgery)

- he would review the plan, add notes on how it actually went

So it's not like he woke up, walked into a surgical room, and ad-libbed it.

As an anecdote, he said he liked B-students for his surgical teams because they had to work hard to get there.

I also was good friends with a very nerdy emergency room doctor. He offered the anecdote that he was "called out" for using Google. His justification was that "once you throw in the appropriate medical terms, all you're getting is the latest research on treatments--and I was attempting to offer the best and latest in proven care". He also made the several changes to the shifts at the ER, including using time-sheet and patient data to show that patient outcomes suffered during longer doctor shift rotations. His anecdote on his schooling; "I was a bad student, and I'm a poor doctor, but my job is to get you stable until we can intervene properly". He funded a startup and wrote (in Java) a medical EMR system.
The word "lunch" does it for me within five repetitions or so.

> Yes, men’s overall brain size is about 11% bigger than women’s, but unlike some songbirds, no specific brain areas are disproportionately larger in men or women. Brain size is proportional to body size, and the brain difference between sexes is actually smaller than other internal organs, such as the heart, lungs and kidneys, which range from 17% to 25% larger in men.

So they want to "dump the dimorphism" but then go on to say that the entire human body is sexually dimorphic.

The obvious motivation for this is to reduce every aspect of humanity into purely social constructs - those can be manipulated to advance a political order.
Backstory: I started writing this book for novice programmers about 15 years ago. It was going to be a lot shorter.

But I became disinterested because:

1. Most beginning programmers don't start with C

2. I wouldn't get a chance to go deep and explore the language.

So I shelved it, unfinished.

Flash forward to about a year ago... I had flash of inspiration: change the audience to intermediate programmers.

Now I could skim the general conceptual stuff and get into more details.

One thing, though. C actually added a lot of stuff in the intervening years. I didn't realize the magnitude of the project.

Oh well! Too late to turn back now!

> And I realize newlines is only to track line counts. Am I wrong that that slows things down?

It does, but only a little if it's implemented using vector instructions. You can try with ripgrep using -N/-n. GNU grep's line counting isn't vectorized IIRC, so you might notice bigger differences there.

I'm just speaking from my own experience where we had an redux app with 30-40 reducers operating on quite a lot (100-200) of dynamic attributes in those objects and approximately the same amount of attributes that are initialized just once and don't change over the lifespan. I can't imagine using a single context for it all. We used thunks heavily, of course. I would prefer to look at the code to better understand how we approached problem solving in each case. Also, have you ever had to invest a good chunk of time to solve performance issues in any of those projects? We did.

On a PC you can use a Legato capture card and record anything that makes it through the HDMI, DRM free, up to 4k/60 and up to HDR10 and it has a pass-thru so you can watch on a monitor/tv as you record. They're mainly used in game broadcasting, like on Twitch. There are also numerous audio recording apps that will record audio that is being played from a DRM source, actually any source. I actually purchase physical books as I can't stand reading on a lit screen for hours on end. As a wise investor once told me, if you don't physically hold it, you don't actually own it. I have copies of everything I've purchased digitally that is worth keeping, and I have no moral qualms about doing so. I paid for the content. They got their money.
Go a little farther south and find Ft McMurray in Alberta, which isn't even traditional oil fields but oilsands excavation. Only about 70k people but it's basically as bright as the 1m people cities to the south of it (and the extra wide halo around Edmonton is likely related to refineries).

Heavy industry is bright I guess.

The examiner doesn't even have to use the oral exam to give a grade. They could use that part simply to figure out whether the student passes or fails. It's very difficult to cheat in an oral exam. Combine the oral exam with the written exam and you could get an overview of what the student knows.
I think most commercial flights with these sorts of planes are sub 500nm, no? Think routes like ANU-SBH, TOB-MVY or MLE-Hotel.

> 500nm range is a serious deficiency in this class of aircraft

My thoughts exactly. What happens when you fly 400 miles and need to divert to another airport because you can’t land at your destination. Talk about range anxiety!

Batteries make sense for cars, but I doubt aircraft will ever be mostly electric. There are other ways of making them green that make more sense, like hydrogen.
I appreciate these free WYSIWYG editor projects but 'headless' is just another way of saying you need to build all of the tricky stuff yourself. Where's the out-of-the-box anchor functionality? How often do you not need to link text?
Well, newsflash: you are always dealing with abstractions, no matter which layer you pick. You might just as well pick one that lets you develop more complex things faster and more reliably. That said, if you are set on actively fighting it (not installing react dev tools, being frustrated by not having visibility under the hood) then it's probably best to stay away from React.

I have quite a lot of history with native JS, but was happy to relinquish control to webpack/babel/react... not at first (had the same reaction as you do), but once I gave it a fair chance I discovered that things just work. Never had any problem with React not performing the way it should.
Note that, while the article heavily implies that this was fraud, it doesn't actually say whether they were stealing or whether these were actual valid withdrawals of customers.

Does this criticism apply to pay-for-access services like Spotify? Spotify is what it is, and has the content it has, and you aren't paying for any future content or access, only for what's there this moment. This seems pretty transparent.
For the most part I think so. The main advantages x86 has are based on code size. Many common instructions are 1 or 2 bytes so the executable size on x86 can often be smaller (and more instructions can fit in the instruction cache). I'm sure there are tons of other small differences that weigh in but I'm not well versed enough to know of them.
Peter Warner, 90, Seafarer Who Discovered Shipwrecked Boys, Dies
Here's a business model for successful open-source projects—one that's already in use, but I think is rarely seen as a business model per se. I'd be interested to see if there's a blog post or the like about this already.

If you're the head of a successful OSS project and you believe it's helping your career in the way of industry notoriety, good demo work to show potential employers, etc.—then give a cut to cover the project's expenses, or even hire folks for freelance work.

There might be stretches when you're not going to make any extra money from the project; say you've reached the point where the project isn't a top line-item in your resume and is probably not responsible for your next salary bump. You can still honor what you've gotten from the project by voluntarily investing back a portion of the money. It has a "benefit corporation" flavor.

If this sounds like too much generosity to expect of people, consider people like Thibault. He's very, very deep into the "generous" side, in that pretty clearly he could work on the project _far_ less and still get a dream job. What I'm describing is a way to make an overall profit and still feel like you're giving back to the world by nurturing the project you've built.

Obviously, this is an overwhelmingly common thing in practice already, whether it's someone who made an OSS project to get a good job and then continued to work in their spare time to maintain it, or language BDFLs who maintain the project on a volunteer basis, but as a result of founding the language they have amazing and well-paying day jobs. But so far I've never seen it described as an actual business model, where you can feel great about helping to keep up your project, but still come out ahead overall.

One part of this is the education system. A jury who is susceptible to junk science and junk logic is more likely to run into these issues.
This would normally be the role of a forensic accountant.

My suspicion is that the Post Office wanted to do this "at scale" and "automate", and just assumed blindly their own records were accurate, because well... They must be!

Had they actually tried to investigate these as one by one offences, you'd gather evidence of individuals concerned making huge cash transactions to buy expensive cars and holidays. And when you didn't find any evidence of this unexplained enrichment (as there wasn't any), your investigator would point this out, and you'd realise you didn't have a case.

Similarly a photograph of the subpostmaster getting into their outright-owned Lamborghini would have been useful evidence there. The absence of any of the evidence of this enrichment seems absent throughout. Let alone the detailed forensic accounting to determine what was actually taken. I suspect the issue was they simply didn't have any way to tell what should have been there, other than what the defective horizon system said... They were trying to run at national scale, without enough ground truth information to validate their assumptions and detect the issue.
