I think the notion that "politics was a small, and usually private part of that" is not and has never been true.

Assuming you're talking about America, where that view is common, I think it's referring to a particular post-WWII status quo that generally held among white professionals. But that didn't mean politics was absent; it just meant that enough people agreed on the status quo and felt disagreements could be resolved through governmental processes that partisan politics could be left at the workplace's door. But many elements of that consensus were deeply political. For example that consensus from the 40s to the 60s was to oppress non-white and non-male people in the workplace.

Indeed, the notion that "the bottom line" is the main thing that matters is very political. For example, it leaves out the split of that money. It leaves out how you treat the workers. It leaves out whether increasing the bottom line has negative societal effects. Using the power of employers to force people not to talk about this is an extremely political action.

As you say, things have changed. In the US, the political process has become deeply dysfunctional because of asymmetrical polarization. A majority of one party believes things that are false and is expelling any of its leaders say otherwise. That same party is aiming to win through stopping people from voting and through other structural impediments to democracy. If people are disenfranchised at the ballot box, it's no wonder they're turning to what levers of power they do have.

So if people really want a quiet workplace, then banning politics is exactly the wrong way to do it. Instead, they're going to have to step up and pressure to fix the political system, and then use that system to address the legitimate concerns of their fellow citizens.
That military protects more than the dollar. It also protects all the real resources that give the USD value.

From a practical perspective Bitcoin is effectively a virtual, self declared nation state but the only thing that exists within that nation is Bitcoin itself. Thus military expenses in the form of Bitcoin mining only cover a small subset of protection offered by conventional military.

Because of this, most Bitcoin proponents are extremely narrow minded, they think the currency equates the entire nation, therefore the USD is equivalent to the entire US and only protecting the USD is equivalent to protecting the entire nation.

Every day people run into the same problem with rent control. They believe there are no real resource constraints represented by the price, therefore they believe changing the price alone is enough to solve the problem. Yet they never realize that prices are just information used to allocate scarce real resources. If information is manipulated and no longer reflects reality then it has become a lie and therefore serves nobody except the one who told the lie.

Okay now that we have established that currencies are information that reflect the allocation of real resources, then what real resources does Bitcoin allocate? It allocates a share of real resources around the world based on the people who bought and sold it. The irony is that these real resources are being protected by their respective governments, thus the existence of the US military (and all other militaries) is an essential part of Bitcoin's current valuation.

My templating language was inspired by JSGF, which seems to have informed the ABNF version of the W3C Speech Grammars. I don't support probabilities, though, since those are derived during the n-gram model generation.

I would have preferred to use a standard. Perhaps this is something for a future version.
The original smiley face was yellow because it was drawn on yellow paper, chosen because the task was to make a logo to cheer people up and yellow was “sunshiny and bright”. The colour has nothing to do with skin tone.

We're in a full agreement.

But I really do mean things that with time I started to consider basic needs. Hedonism I don't endorse in general -- or at least, as you said, not when it's at the expense of someone else. If you made your money fairly and without screwing over others then sure, splurge as much as you like.

R, for all its strengths, seems to have quite a learning curve and a lot of syntax to remember. The other approach is to use a GUI based enviroment such as Easy Data Transform, Alteryx or Knime. These are never going to be quite as flexible as a language-based approach, but they are a lot easier to get started with - especially for people with no programming background.

One figure hanging over Western poetry for the second half of the 20th century is Celan, and it is hard to claim he is inferior to Eliot or Yeats. And if you like this kind of serious poetry, I really recommend J.H. Prynne (start with The White Stones), who is still active even.

The problem with poetry today is not a lack of talent, it is an inability for that talent to get mass attention when 1) poetry has been marginalized in today's media landscape, and 2) cultural scenes are now so fractured that people can't reach agreement on who is great and therefore keep the list of great poets going.
I've been going deeper into the mid-19th century to pre-WWI era. I keep thinking that the war eras of the 20th century and industrial consumerism lost the diversity of ideas and art that preceded it.

I've been diving into (or revisiting) Darwin, Thoreau, Ruskin, Tolstoi, to name a few. It was an incredibly rich era that could help us better navigate this one.

I get a sense that Orwell, Huxley, and Bradbury, had a better connection to it and could articulate warnings of where the mid-20th century might end up if it progresses on its path. I don't think we've ever been closer to realizing their warnings.
Indeed! You can still have a very rewarding experience in a startup, it's just rarely the "retire young and rich" outcome that I think a lot of people imagine it will be.

As someone else also said, I wouldn't trade my startup years for anything, but it was just a job like any other, when take a macro view of my career.

I believe this is correct.

I have always ran a 4K monitor and never hit this issue. My 15" (2018) and 16" MacBook Pro run silent when connected to the 4K monitor as it uses 2x scaling by default (so 4K "looks like" 1080p).

However if I connect a 1440p display after half an hour or so the fans kick in.

I don't own a 1440p display anymore to test this solution unfortunately.

I think in the GTAV case, they kind of dropped the ball by not doing profiling when players complained. The exact same thing happened to our game as well, it was also a Json deserializing library that caused the problem. At the first release, the player’s save files were small, so we didn’t notice the library was written poorly. After several expansions, the save data grew, some players contacted support complaining about start up loading time. We did a profile, found the culprit, migrated data to Bson format, done.

Back to the question. If there is a limited amount of time before release and I have to choose between fixing load time and fixing framerate. It’s definitely going to be framerate, some console platforms will reject your title if you frame drop multiple times within certain duration. Frame drop is also a deal breaker for most players especially for VR games. Stuttering can cause serious motion sickness in VR and make people throw up.

Overall I think the constraints of game projects are different to other domains like web and business. So we game developers tend to think differently. Like bugs are bad, but as long as not game breaking/save corrupting or happening way too often, players are kind of ok with that. People even found bugs in game entertaining and compiled a weekly reel of bugs https://kotaku.com/c/video/highlight-reel. On the other hand, performance is critical to us, if a game plays sluggish then no one can enjoy it. Compared to the web where users have more tolerance about rending speed.
>I can't even do dynamic programming problems asked in coding interviews - so unlikely I would have done any useful research in physics

Solving dynamic programming problems on the spot is about as useful to physics (or software design) as reciting the alphabet backwards very quickly is to being a good author. A lot of those problems were originally solved as someone's thesis (i.e. not in 5 minutes). Most people who do well on such problems in interviews just spent a lot of time practising, and companies like candidates who are willing to spend a bunch of time grinding something monotonous because that's what most of the work will be if hired.

And how would you suggest poor Americans afford the plane ticket necessary to achieve those perspectives? Just because there are people in the world who have it worse doesn’t mean poor Americans should just deal with it.
Err, seem like the exact same thing just phrased realistically instead of romantically.

Being a Software Developer IS really my dream job, I enjoy it almost all the time, but there are always parts which I hate. I don't think there are a lot of jobs if any, where you enjoy it 100% of the time.

I think it's true for life in general that you should aim for 100% in everything but expect to never reach it. This way, you won't disappoint, but you still try everything to make it happen.

I remember building something similar about ten years ago for Windows using the accessibility APIs to extract menus from applications.

To my chagrin, a great many applications, including those shipping with Windows (even the explorer, iirc) and almost everything using fancy UIs or various toolkits (GTK, Tk and Java apps I think, Qt worked) don't expose their menus through them, which made it pretty useless.

Homes are the new boots.

I buy cheap hotdogs for meat, and cheap cars that I drive into the ground to get my money's worth out of them, but I can't afford to pay rent. I've been almost homeless for the last year.

But, I just bought a house a few days ago. I bought it super cheap, and it needs a lot of work that I'm doing myself.

I still can't afford to pay rent, not because I couldn't, but because it's a waste of money.

I didn't think twice about buying this house because it was a fantastic deal.

5 years from now I will have spent less than someone that is still one payment away from being evicted if they miss a rent payment.
You're not wrong.

Except, as we have seen with Epic, and why we are talking about this case, is they can, by dropping your app from the App Store in retribution for offering an alternative. They can do that because there is no other app store on Apple and effectively prevents you from competing.
The author is pretty stupid to put out a weird point of view on defunding the police, he seems to think it's already done & there are less cops or something so crime is high? Is he nuts?

From wiki-
"
Police officers may be particularly badly suited for some community issues, such as mental health crises.[50] However, 1 in 4 people who are killed by the police have severe mental illness. Some activists argue that, if someone is experiencing a mental health crisis, and if there is no emergent threat to themselves or other people, mental health professionals may be more adept and capable responders. Furthermore, if more funds were diverted to help treat and support those with mental health issues, there could be better outcomes"

Also he's talking as if defunding(which he thinks) has already happened, what a dimwit.
At first blush, this basically sounds like an integrated raid 0, likely with the same reliability disadvantages. Is that wrong?

A good bit of my work is in php codebases from that era and uh... yeah kinda.

Generally at that time (and for a few years after) you still see a huge influence from C programming constraints in php.

Lot of extremely terse abbreviated variables and explicit looping. And for some fucking reason the pervasive believe that variable names need to be at most either 3 or 6 characters long. (Yes I know the reason it's still bad)

So yeah painful as it is to admit that is well above average expressiveness and readability for php of its era.
What I like about return statements is that encourages me to think about the special cases one by one and be done with them. This also reduces nesting.

This could be solved by pattern matching as well, but that might not be a good fit for any language.
Plenty of things would be bad for crypto, they just don't happen. Here's a long list of things that would genuinely be bad for crypto:

Financial events:

- Posting lower highs and lower lows (not happening)

- Decreasing trading volume, decreasing on chain activity, decreasing active address, decreasing hash rate (not happening)

- Being outperformed by other commodities (not happening)

Political events:

- A first world democracy restricting or banning the use of crypto (not happening so far...)

- Negative public sentiment against crypto preventing adoption (might be happening as we speak, too early to tell)

- Fundamental incompatibility between crypto and our existing legal framework (possible, but not happening so far)

Protocol/tech events:

- 51% attack (not happening so far)

- Exploit of core protocol resulting in instability/loss of funds at the base layer (not happening)

- Failure to scale to required levels (possible, but good progress is being made here)

Price crashes are not a concern at all for the long term health of crypto. In fact, price crashes are where distribution of supply happen, and that is definitely a good thing for crypto. Think of a price crash as a forest fire that allows new life to grow :)

Having lived in the third world, I would say that the American poors are probably the closest you're going to get to "third world poor" anywhere in the developed world.

> Nemo vir est qui mundum non reddat meliorem

Going of my very unused latin knowledge. "Nemo vir est" = "There is no man", "qui mundum non reddat meliorem" -> "There is no man, who doesn't return betterment to the world" (had to look meliorem up tho)
Lots of good examples here: https://xstate-catalogue.com/

It seems like you're just unfamiliar with state machines. They're not a "new, weird abstraction", they're a core concept of computer science in general, and it can be argued that most code we write is itself an abstraction on top of state machines; not the other way around.

For more information on state machines and statecharts, I recommend reading this great resource: https://statecharts.dev/
I remember you could decide which glibc version, for some specific symbol, you wanted to use.

For example, if you wanted to make your program use the "realpath" version from glibc 2.0, instead of the current one, you could do something like this:

__asm__(".symver realpath,realpath@GLIBC_2.0");

So, even if the glibc version in the build system is more modern (lets say 2.3), your code will also work with older ones, such as 2.0.
But you’re describing indirection, not message passing. Is that the source of the confusion? Even C has indirection.
> Believe it or not there are plenty of people who live their lifes outside of politics.

Nobody lives their life outside of politics. At best, they ignore partisan politics. But they can only do that because the political status quo is one that favors them and the people they care about.

I agree that an "office brawl about politics" is bad. But that's because brawls are bad, not because you can somehow have an office untouched by politics.

Take the very simplest example: how many hours do you work a week?

That number is determined by a political process. It always has been. When it was set purely by the rich people who owned businesses, 80 to 100 hours work weeks were common. Workers pushed back over decades; eventually we ended up with things like a 40-hour work week and overtime pay. Due to politics, that number has been rising in the US, with legal protections for workers decaying. Meanwhile, some people with more political and economic power have been pushing for shorter weeks. There's a long history to this, and it's all political: https://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/03/how-the-8-hour-workday-chang...
I think this suffers from a causation direction bias. Maybe people with the choice mindset wind up in positions of wealth and power because of this mindset. I can only speak anecdotally, but the hand full of millionaires I know all grew up lower middle class, and they all have choice mindset.

I think the worst kinds of people create a false dichotomy here where either everything is choice or everything is a product of externalities.

It does seem to me that choice mindset leads to better outcomes within whatever context the person is in. It’s extremely unlikely to result in a poor person from a third world country running a Fortune 500. But within their context they are likely to have better outcomes than people who externalize credit/blame.

That's great, but it still performs 2 times worst than the best supervised model.

Also : "The discriminator itself is also a neural network. We train it by feeding it the output of the generator as well as showing it real text from various sources that were phonemized."

Is the "real text from various sources that were phonemized" a manually labelized database? If Yes, that step is supervised, which makes the whole thing actually supervised to some extent
For most people "what their goals are" is just "high social status".

So it's a dead end to start with this because you just end up with "earn a lot of money" without any more information about how to reach the goal.

It also assumes that people are very good at career planning. If not, then it might be better to just follow the main stream.
I thought this for the longest time. An embarrassingly long time. Then I volunteered with a program that helps people who qualify for EITC to prepare their taxes and budget how they’ll use their tax return to “get them out of their situation”.

Person after person came in, we did their taxes, and then we went over their expenses and each case was a frustrating puzzle that was impossible to solve. There just wasn’t enough money for all of the basic necessities let alone even a bit of savings. And these are folks who worked full time. I was a student at the time and I remember being annoyed that not once had this situation come up in the personal finance classes I’d taken.

It really changed my whole perspective. It was honestly the first time I’d ever even considered the possibility that someone could do everything “right” and still be poor. There’s a myth that you can financial-plan your way out of economic hardship but it’s simply not true.
