Proof of stake Ethereum is very similar to 5G, yes there is real technology, yes it's 'working' in some capacity now. But you really shouldn't plan on it reaching you any time soon.

The ETH2 'beacon chain' is a meta-chain that's supposed to checkpoint a bunch of 'sub chains' for scalability. They have launched this beacon chain. But it doesn't do anything other than mint ETH2 tokens and operate their proof of stake consensus system.

AKA it's another blockchain, different than ETH1 and it doesn't even move transactions yet. It's got a novel POS system to it's name, that's not nothing, but that is all it has at the moment.

What does a 'sub chain' actually look like to interact with? How do you coordinate with many of them? All these questions have answers in theory, but not answers in solid production ready interoperable code.

'Proof of stake Ethereum' only happens if these questions are figured out and then ETH1 is somehow brought under the beacon chain's governance. Which is a whole different kettle of fish than a greenfield subchain. Exactly how this is to happen... well I haven't even seen anything credible on this. As far as I can tell it's not even seriously being worked on yet.

So we may, if things go well, have another blockchain calling itself ETH2 that is proof of stake by the end of this year. But that won't cause ETH1 to stop wasting electricity or gracefully move it's economic activity to a proof of stake system.

Moving billions of dollars of economic activity out of the hands of miners (who have every incentive to screw it up) and into the hands of a proof of stake validator set while at the same time not significantly disrupting said system or opening up new vulnerabilities is not trivial.

tl;dr Proof of stake Ethereum is possible, but there definitely isn't a rush order on it. I would bet on Ethereum miners still being around 2-3 years from now.

The "A" word. Putting the word "authentic" on a sign calls authenticity into question, does it not? We went with friends to Argentina, and visited an estancia. This place was in every way a ranch in American terms, possibly making more from serving food to visitors than from cultivating cattle for the market. In Texas there are many ranches that make more from serving food to visitors than they do from growing cattle for the market. The barbecue was different in Argentina than in Texas. If you go to a small chocolate shop in Calle Florida, isn't it just a guy selling chocolate like you find in many posh cities? And what about Tango? I don't think there are many cities where Tango has the audience or community than the big cities of South America.

Funny enough, the other day after having an encounter with a flying cockroach I wondered about using lasers to kill those. I imagined just finding a decent power rating laser diode a consumer can buy, driving it to the max and seeing what it could do.

Unfortunately it seems that any beam focused/powerful enough will end up damaging anything else it hit (in my case: walls, ceiling, carpet, etc.)

> My question to you marketing-haters: what exactly are your suggestions here?

I'm willing to compromise and agree that we don't have to ban all marketing. Let's maybe just ban billboards, product placement, sponsored messages, targeted messages, and most forms of in-public advertising, and see where that gets us.
The value google provides here is not the technology, but a "neutral" external partner. It means that bosses do not need to elevate anyone's responsibilities to some niche (but probably better) alternative tool.

It's the same with most standard tools or outsourcing partners. The point is not so much "no one got fired for choosing IBM", it's that IBM is customer to the boss, not the subordinate.

A big value in SaaS is that it allows the boss to have the highest privileges in all systems.
It's explicitly for non-Apple hardware, mainly.

My first job out of college, I had a manager sit behind me for 8 hours a day with the ol' "move that one pixel to the left, no, 2 pixels to the right.. no back again" after I had impressed the customer with some fast results.

I coped with it for a few days before telling him I needed to talk about his management style.

He agreed, and we went out into the atrium. There, he told me I just needed to shut up and do what I was told.

I think it's important to have an intuition for why you are being micromanaged. Sometimes it's because you're missing processes and procedures, sometimes it's because you intimidate your superior.

I imagine the former should feel like it has an obvious expiration date, where you learn the CI/CD workflow or whatever.

The latter feels sinister and crazy.

> Not to mention them not knowing basic facts like Moldova and Romania being in fact 2 separate independent countries.

Maybe this is from a language barrier/confusion? I know that the modern state of Romania comes from a union of the Wallachian/Transylvanian/Moldavian principalities, and modern Moldova originates from part of the historical Moldavian principality which the USSR forced independent Romania to secede (?).

I think the Moldavian would refer to themselves as "Romanians" as a group of people, unless emphasizing the particular government/nationality? I know this is probably a controversial topic, I really don't know much about the modern geopolitical status there, just speculating why the article may conflate Romanian and Moldova.

That's not what the data showed. Doctor-run hospitals, before ACA disallowed new ones and restricted existing ones from expanding, had overall better patient outcomes than state run hospitals.

MRI scans, which could sometimes mean the difference between life-saving diagnoses, or a missed diagnosis, were cheaper and easier to come by in the U.S. because clinics could run a scanner at a profit and specialize in MRI scans. Locking them away under government rationing destroys the cycle of signal and response a market can bring. We've seen this in other countries where it is exceedingly difficult to get one when you need one.

That doesn't mean there aren't sensible cases for government-funded research. But looking at the current health system with massive government interventions already in place and saying the problem is not enough government intervention seems like a mistaken conclusion.

I believe most of the benchmarks where Metal based in the Anand article, also PBO have been around for quiet a while in OpenGL:

https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Gr...

Any back and forth between CPU and GPU will be faster with unified memory especially with a coherent on die cache.

This is the same model from iOS so just about anyone doing metal will already be optimizing for it same with any other mobile development.

It doesn't seem like a minor architectural difference to me:

"Comparing the two GPU architectures, TBDR has the following advantages:

It drastically saves on memory bandwidth because of the unified memory architecture.
Blending happens in-register facilitated by tile processing.
Color, depth and stencil buffers don’t need to be re-fetched."

For Blazblue specifically, I'm not a Carl player (ugggh... negative edges). But just remember: whenever the doll is attacking, it reacted to the player LETTING GO of a button (key-up).

All of Carl's moves himself are on key-down.

So think of what your fingers must do to consistently pull off combos like: https://youtu.be/D8gPPB9YD6s?t=65

You get the benefit of playing two-characters vs the opponent's one character, but it means having to think about both characters (as well as having a wonky control scheme for the 2nd character). Furthermore, Carl is designed to play with the doll, so you only deal the same damage as everyone else if you successfully pull off these combos.

But having two-characters means you can setup unblockables more easily (doll hits high, Carl hits low), or weird pressure strings / frame traps that are unavailable to most typical characters. Which is where Carl's unique advantage really comes in. So its not a "damage" thing, its more about the mind-games you play with the opponent when its 2vs1.

Terminology: A, B, C, and D are the four attack buttons in the game. Numbers represent which direction you push (2A means A-button while holding "Down". 2 is down on the numpad. 8 is up, 6 is right, 4 is left). Every fighting game community has invented their own terminology. But knowing this should give you enough information to watch that combo-tutorial adequately.

A, B, C map to Carl, D maps to the doll. Holding D means that the doll starts to move left-right (4 or 6 with your left hand), letting go of D means that the doll attacks (negative edging). A, B, and C on Carl play as a typical fighting game character.

Carl is... not easy... to play.

> Your best hope is once in a while to find a "good" boss who is not 100% on board with the investors and is willing to split the difference.

Investors care about results; they don't care about the style middle management uses. This is a false dichotomy.

If the company is focused on short-term wins to the detriment of long-term viability, that's a separate issue (and really has nothing to do with management style).

> ..then my excellent boss leaves for greener pastures, and suddenly a new much worse boss comes in and begins micromanaging...

> ..then the boss is who needs to be questioned

If this means results suffer (probably), then it's pretty obvious the cause in this case, right?
I've been on both sides, both as a "servant leader" and as a "servant".

Context matters. The only time I micro-managed a team myself, was when someone at the top was instigating a blame culture. I did explain all the goals in detail to the people, and explained why it mattered that we delivered exactly according to the specs, even though it wasn't really functional. Sales always blamed IT for failing to deliver according to specs, while the sales intake was actually fubarred, resulting in way too low quotes and everyone blaming IT, resulting in a negative downfall.

I have been micro-managed about 3 years ago for about 3 months, but this was when I was consulting in a highly political organisation with very complex regulation (EU airspace), so it was part of my initial training. Once trust was there I spent most of my time engaging with all the counterparts according to the explicit and implicit protocol and rules ("continuous improvement manager" for the curious, but what's in a name...)

What I have done quite a few times, is not micro-managing, but micro-coaching: sitting next to a person every waking hour available for help, assistance and spotting potential frustrations. This is usually part of a bigger, risky change trajectory where I decide to start with the one person "impossible to convert"; in a lot of cases these people actually became some of the ambassadors of the whole project, and this is a big win for such projects...

Edit: some more details regarding the "being micro-managed" part.
it’s ironic that you use the phrase “overwhelmingly non-skeptical” to negate a totalitarian supposition, when totalitarianism, or more narrowly authoritarianism, requires, and in fact subjugates their populace to being (via propaganda), a docile and unquestioning public. “skeptical yet willing” would be more deserving of credit than “obliviously following”. the public should absolutely question and challenge ‘experts’ (i take issue with this framing itself but that’s a discussion for another time), because not only are experts often wrong but not doing so sets a dangerous sociopolitical precedent.
Making all of the decisions is just another variant on the "don't accept responsibility for things you have no control over". Your boss is taking the power to make the decision. Your boss is not taking responsibility for cleaning up the mess if that decision turns out to be just as stupid as all of the developers predicted.

> Having Congress legislate and investigate where they can, and get out of the way where they can't, is generally a more robust policy than letting them defer to subject matter experts in areas where governmental action is relevant.

Isn't this exactly what the technocrat solution is? The technocrats go about their business as best they can. Congress can (and does, sometimes) intervene with new or updated laws whenever they deem the technocrats are not appropriately serving their function.

The issue (in the US anyways) is really that congress has completely abdicated their duty and deferred all work to either the presidency/judiciary and/or the technocrats/bureaucrats. Eliminating/curtailing the technocrats/buraeucrats doesn't make Congress work better, it just pushes them to cede more of their power to the other branches of government and thus even further into the autocratic hellscape.
He learned a few things and developed some of the mildest "magic powers". That's nice, but let's not go overboard. He's basically another foolish Westerner importing and repackaging the least interesting parts of an ancient and potent body of knowledge.

In re: "magic powers": The word is "siddhi".

> Siddhis (Sanskrit: सिद्धि siddhi; fulfillment, accomplishment) are material, paranormal, supernatural, or otherwise magical powers, abilities, and attainments that are the products of yogic advancement through sādhanās such as meditation and yoga.[1] The term ṛddhi (Pali: iddhi, "psychic powers") is often used interchangeably in Buddhism.

The only important thing to know about these magic powers is that they are a distraction.

Well kids, get off your ass and write a new operating system. We invented it, you all sit on your ass and do nothing but complain. With ads.
I don't think that would necessary solve it, since the maximum number you can have open is still RLIMIT_NPROC * RLIMIT_NOFILE, right? It seems it would still be a problem as long as it's greater than RLIMIT_NPROC. Edit: I suppose you could fix it as long as you could guarantee that NPROC * NOFILE * maxlogins < kernel.pid_max... but to me this is piling on more workarounds.
How to Measure ROI on Data Discovery
Our team wrote this article about how to measure the ROI on data discovery as a tool to help teams justify the costs of data discovery and the benefits to management. You can check out the full article here: https://www.secoda.co/blog/measure-roi-on-data-discovery and calculate your own ROI on data discovery here: https://www.secoda.co/measuring-data-debt

TLDR

Solving data discovery starts by getting on top of your team's data debt. Data debt is a type of technical debt that is created when teams don’t catalogue, clean and categorize or organize their data. It drags down productivity and costs the organization in compute costs. This costs teams time and effort, but too many times, data debt is difficult to measure. There are two primary drivers that drive the cost of data debt and lead to understanding your need for a data discovery tool:

Discovery time: Data discovery time is the amount of time that it takes for your data engineering and analytics team to find the right data, understand what it means and use it to analyze the data request.

Organization time: This is the amount of time spent cleaning, documenting and organizing data to make it legible for other employees

You can measure the financial impact of data debt by looking at how much money it costs your team to discover and organize the data. We recommend calculating data debt as the hours spent discovering + organizing data * average cost per hour.

By having an idea of the cost of data debt, teams can more easily calculate their return on investment for a data discovery tool. Without the existing baseline, it’s much more difficult to get buy-in from the managers controlling the budget for your team. We hope this helps.

I'd also throw in readability into the mix. Without knowing the magic it's hard to reason about. Then even by knowing what the magic does you have to have some intuition for its arbitrary rules based on its implementation in reflection-land.

<rant>
Let's take an example: Autowiring. Java is the type of language heavily that pushes programmers to use the Strategy Design Pattern. It's almost the core of the language's philosophy. However, if I want a file that globally states to always use a specific Strategy then I have to turn away from native Java to the dark magic of dependency injection frameworks (Guice, Spring). If I'm reading such code, I have to know to look for a file that maps a Bean to a specific strategy; which is not apparent anywhere on either file. It's somewhere else in XML or a vague annotation that I have to now wrap my head around. To do so, I have to understand arbitrary limitations to the dark magic like whether this Bean is matched by name, type, or qualifier. All of this can be a little overwhelming at times when you're looking at a file where every variable is a Bean.
</rant>

But if you drink the cool-aid, boy does it taste good. I can't start a new project without Guice (pun intended) now-a-days.

That was more or less true in the 90s, at least.
Rust is very expressive. It has a useful macro system, powerful generics, and generalized traits which means if you implement your types canonically you're using them via essentially the same patterns almost everywhere.

Don't confuse not-expressive with articulate. Rust requires your to be articulate about what you're doing so you don't gloss over ownership details with fancy one liners like is common in other languages. You can be both expressive and articulate. Not worrying about memory ownership, while possible in other languages, is not the hallmark of expressiveness. For example, imagine a C analog to a Rust program that implements all the same checks and memory discipline that Rust does.. Rust is way more expressive, relatively.
