Not to disagree... as a regular matplotlib user, I certainly overlook its quirks in return for what it can do for me. But I think another interpretation is: If you use a complex, flexible library long enough, your recurring themes will eventually evolve into a library that "wraps" the original library.
If workers were suddenly doing their jobs with simple emails and independence instead of micromanaging, why, what need of stratified layers of middle management would their be?

"- Multi- and highres monitor support out of the box with proper scaling and readable fonts"

Unless you want to use two TypeC->DP connected monitors using MST. For "reasons" ($$$), Apple arbitrarily decided to not support MST over TypeC connectors (thunder bolt good, TypeC bad!!). And since this is MacOS, its impossible to ever have that support unless it was blessed upon us by the overlords. I don't like being held hostage by a company, and Apple is great at setting their way or the highway (some may like that, but not I).

When I got my new job and they forced MacOS on me: Ok, now I need a usable home setup. Lets try to get this running without running to buy $4k in new monitors.. days searching and a few wasted purchases later, everything worked fine just to discover that Apple refuses TypeC MST for no specific reason. So by all means, you can keep it. I'll hold my nose because I like my company, but their choice to mandate this hardware was awful.

Jira is very sensitive to the configuration you build for it, and the hardware it is running on. The full configuration for Jira would make an Encyclopedia look small. Get that wrong (as many places do), and it is hard to use and dead-dog slow, at the best of times. But if you have a real Jira wizard who can configure things correctly, then it can easily be the fastest and easiest way to organize your development and operational support tasks.

I’ve seen both good and bad Jira configurations. And I’ve seen them run on both good and bad hardware solutions.

There is a reason why Atlassian is getting rid of Enterprise Jira, because it’s really hard to build a good hardware solution for running Jira properly.

I submit that anyone who hates Jira probably has not seen a good Jira configuration. And anyone who loves Jira probably has seen a good configuration and doesn’t understand what everyone else is complaining about.

Jira is a real Jekyll vs. Hyde type of tool. In my experience, how you feel about Jira says much more about the type of configuration you’ve seen than anything else.
Adding states to the union has always been a politically divisive topic. Hawaii and Alaska were added at the same time specifically so that the balance of power in the senate would stay even. Going back further the same thing was done with free/slave states in the 1830s.
My point is that if you already successfully operate several seismically stable fabs and you're building a new one that's gonna cost you tens of billions of dollars anyway, there must be other factors that are higher on your requirements list.

Not only is it entirely possible to prevent Chinese capture but it's arguably possible for Taiwan to achieve this on their own with minimal to no US intervention. This will likely change in the future, but for the next decade their sovereignty is relatively assured.

To say amphibious invasions are difficult is itself a massive understatement. Taiwan is armed to the teeth and and has incredibly hostile terrain all along its coasts effectively making any attempt on the area a guaranteed bloodbath.

This doesnt sound like work at all, only busywork; what negatively affects those around.

Most people prefer to do get shit done and go home (when you work from home, you remove the commute part) and then spend time with real friends, since people at work very often are not your real friends.
Did you see it. Very strange. Only 3 execs listed, one exec whose pay is the same as the CEO left. Makes you wonder whether the real founder left and they’re just trying to cash out.

CNBC did a great little mini-documentary about Arizona tech yesterday [1], and one of the covered aspects were the insane water demands that comes from fabs.

Arizona doesn't exactly have an abundance of water, they're already depleting aquafers, before the fabs have begun operation (a typical fab uses 2-4 million gallons of water per day).

In my opinion (as a startup founder and former lawyer), it's actually less unreasonable when two BigCos leave out the non-use provision. It's not like one FAANG is going to somehow get the scoop on the other FAANG, since they're both big and the one providing the information presumably has a head-start already.

It's much more of a concern for a small company that could be wiped out by a BigCo that decides to enter their market with a wealth of intelligence gained under NDA.
I just hope the Supreme Court would find a DC statehood bill unconstitutional. There are so many other ways to address DC citizens grievances than adding a new state that is fundamentally different than the other 50 - in no small part because it was designed as an independent patch of land not part of any state.
Our willingness to defend Taiwan doesn't mean a war wouldn't disrupt the supply chain. There's a reason the Soviet Union built factories in Novosibirsk, and it wasn't because they weren't willing to defend Leningrad.

From what I’ve seen a relatively simple radar is what many automakers are using as the main sensor for AEB. You can see them on the front grille, usually a small rectangular patch in the plastic about the size of paperback book.

In the context of for-profit business I wholeheartedly agree with you, but in the context of space exploration, if there is research about how to go to the moon and Mars that can be "stolen," isn't the moral culpability on whatever entity is hoarding that knowledge?

Or is going to the moon and Mars the achievement of certain parts of humanity, to be kept secret from other unwanted parts of humanity?
I have to assume that tesla's cars aren't confused by those things either, for the most part. The difference is that most car's emergency brake systems act when a driver has failed to respond; the driver and the computer are acting in concert. Tesla has designed and marketed their system as if it worked separately from a focused driver. In the rare instances that their system fails, it is much less likely that the human driver has been paying attention and will brake manually.

I just looked up the subaru system. In the emergency braking case, they clearly claim that their system acts only if the driver has failed to brake. That means, for example, that it will brake much more abruptly than a human would, since it is waiting for the last moment before braking. Their lane following technology behaves similarly. Tellingly, it is called "eyesight", suggesting it is merely an extra pair of eyes, rather than "autopilot", which suggests that it can drive on its own.
I suppose you would have the government approve every individual action you take to ensure it isn’t against the interest of “the people”. I’m just glad there’s still enough voters who don’t think like you, to be honest. That concerns me a lot more than how dangerous the products in the store are.
> China had to develop all space technology on their own.

It’s hard not to laugh at that statement. China runs the largest IP theft program in the world. To the point U.S. companies factor it in when doing business there.

That’s not to say what they did was not impressive, it was. But it’s also a lot of stolen IP.

I would argue that by the time China comes to take Taiwan (when, not if), the US will be in a position where it is unwilling/able to expend the lives and funds required to provide a prolonged defense of a piece of land firmly in China's front yard.

Personally, I think we're at the point where the US would consider the costs of Taiwan's defense well beyond any potential benefits. It's too economically integrated with China, and the sheer number of bodies it would take aren't worth the moral victory.

Hong Kong is the writing on the wall. China wishes to restore integrity to what it regards as its territory.

TSMC must open facilities in the west because its Taiwan facilities are too dangerous to leave in enemy hands. It has to invest in capital outside of any potential conflict zone if it plans to exists over the long-term as a profit-making entity.

My experience with valve on HackerOne was when I discovered an easy way to lag, and if exploited crash, a dota 2 server. It was nothing technically fancy, but something that made it easy for griefers to ruin the game for everyone. I think even spectators to the match could trigger the functionality.

They turned me down for any reward - I don't remember the exact wording in their policy but I think it was a generic exclusion of DOS and DDOS vectors. I thought I should've still been eligible as my exploit was simple and only required a low input frequency. The bureaucratic process of the whole thing scared me from doing anything more and I was happy enough that they would fix the vulnerability and I could get back to enjoying the game.

I think it's five years later and the problem still exists, and regularly reduces the quality of my games.
Is there even any regulatory framework for automated driving capabilities?
California Highway Patrol has now issued a statement[1] to the Associated Press (which originally reported this incident) saying they have not yet determined what driving mode the car was in.

Perhaps the Washington Post should update their article? I know it's late on a Friday on the East Coast, but the truth is slow to get its pants on.

> In mid-April, a Tesla crashed into a tree in a suburb outside of Houston, and it took firefighters four hours to put out flames fueled by the car’s battery pack. When the fire was out, they concluded that neither of the car’s two occupants had been in the driver’s seat at the time of the crash. A Tesla executive later broke with that official account and claimed that a person had been in the driver’s seat.

That "four hours to put out flames" is a bit of a stretch according to some of the reporting that came out later[1]. The fire was mostly out in about 10 minutes, but they had to keep pouring water on it until they could move the car and spray water more directly on the battery. This seems like sloppy/overly sensational reporting by the Washington Post.

edit: to be clear, I think Tesla deserves lots of criticism for autopilot failures that result in deaths; I just think the article is stating something as fact that's debatable.

But even without this passage, your quote only proves he has a low opinion of "most women in the Bay Area" - that does not translate to most women everywhere, and certainly not to all women.

Before "nanny state" regulations, food used to be sold in a decomposed or rotten state, it was exposed to all sorts of contamination and merchants mixed it with all sorts of non-food such as wood. Having weird digestive illnesses was very common back in the day, as well as dying from them.

Before "nanny state" regulations, you would work as much as your employer wanted you to work, you had no sick days, no vacation, no parental leave, no anything. Kids used to work in factories. If a woman got pregnant she would get fired from her job. If you got injured or sick at work then you would get fired as well.

Before "nanny state" regulations, medications were usually snake oil. The market was full of elixirs and magical tonics for well-being that were ultimately a scam.

Before "nanny state" regulations, you were free to dump any chemical you wanted anywhere you wanted. You were free to experiment with any animal you wanted in any way you wanted without any ethical or humane consideration whatsoever. You were free to scam any investor you wanted in any way you wanted... and you get the idea. Restaurant with rats? that was perfectly too.

"Nanny state" is one of the most profoundly idiotic terms ever coined. Some regulations can be annoying, but clearly we are better off now than 100 years ago.

The site in question here? no.

It's more like you work on something that flops and you see similar things get traction.

There's bookshelves full of analysis on this problem. I've got a few of those bookshelves in my library, a major preoccupation of mine for maybe 15 years.

But one of the legitimate reasons the big books don't touch upon is the agitation and hustle game. Probably because those authors just do it without thinking about it.

Geoffrey Moore, Steve Blank, Clayton Christensen, there's a certain aggrandizing precocity they all have that they seem to look past. It's somewhere on the road to carnival barking and clickbaiting.

The line on that road that I refuse to cross is likely way too conservative.

In fact I've had things that became popular by other random people playing that game who I've never met, just for the social cache or whatever endorphins that thing does for those people.

That's the core strategy of virality and trying to hook influencers.

It's a trend I've been noticing within the past 6 months or so. When something catches I'll do some research and find an almost irritating number of failed nearly identical attempts.

The "one note band approach" looks like it's a decent strategy, I just have to get over how objectionable it feels to me.

Being a bit more shameless doesn't necessarily always appear to be a bad move
nothing wrong with copying a working design, when you're in a high risk situation it's prudent to reduce variables
It's an interesting point of view.

When you say "The values and variables features...introduce unwanted coupling, and complicate the...model," do you mean implementing them in a Forth, or using them in your application code? I don't think I've ever seen either a Forth or a Forth program that didn't use variables, so I think the model is unavoidably going to get that complicated for any program more complicated than (-b±√(b²-4ac))/2a. (You could replace VARIABLEs (and CONSTANTs) with VALUEs, and having both is clearly unnecessary.)

As for the coupling, do you mean that if one subroutine writes a variable and another reads it, then that couples them? That's true, but I was talking about using a variable inside a single subroutine, as an alternative to stack manipulations. That's not the only good way to use variables in Forth, and it's not always better than stack manipulations, but I'm saying it's a reliable way to get over the "I'm too dumb for Forth" hump that most of us hit at some point.

> But most useful stack operations can be abstracted quite readily, and this kind of abstraction is a meaningful part of FORTH idiomatic style.

Yes, that is surely true.

Is there some Forth code you think of as exemplary that I could learn from?
