> Perhaps people experience cognitive dissonance when reconciling the things that you mentioned with beliefs about reincarnation?

Reincarnation was the only thing to come into my mind when I heard "buddhism" when I was a schoolboy. I had zero idea of what else is Buddhism about back then. Later, as I learnt more I found out (or came to an opinion) "reincarnation" itself is a fairly unimportant concept. Perhaps it is only there to attract/repel public and to be another target for becoming indifferent to as you progress.

It may also be beneficial to imagine you being reincarnated in a particular realm of existence and contemplating what you would experience. Imagine you are going to heaven where you are going to live millennia never forgetting... that you are going to hell after that, inevitably, like for real, and try to come in peace with that. That would be an exercise.

Ha! Well, I think our investors think we're very idiosyncratic -- but they also can't help but admire the results: a singular team, drawn in part by not having to worry about the Game of Thrones that is most corporate comp structures. ;)
You originally said "most commercial software runs on linux" and when people told you that is a bold and possibly ridiculous thing to say, your response is 'these big websites make a lot of money and the people I know work on linux'.

Do you think that might not be indicative of the big picture? If you lived on the equator would you say "no one really needs a thick warm coat, no one I know has one" ?

I'm fascinated that you don't want to look beyond local anecdotes for real systemic information.
People are going to believe what they want to believe regardless of information presented disputing. You can expend energy and effort and get frustrated by not changing anyone's mind, or not and have the same result. ???

Not to burst your bubble, but "tightbeam" and "space" (as a verb meaning "to kill by exposure to the vacuum of space") are both quite common and old usages in science fiction -- they aren't unique to The Expanse.

"Tightbeam" was in use as early as the 1930s, by E. E. Smith. Interestingly, this means the term was coined before lasers were even invented! https://sfdictionary.com/view/1943/tight-beam

Meanwhile, Robert Heinlein was writing about "spacing" people in 1952: https://sfdictionary.com/view/400/space

> I think the best solution here is to speak up on behalf of those who are unfairly attacked

The reality is that there is no easy way forward, no simple answer:

You don't know the truth any better than the mindless mob. If someone is accused of sexual assault or harassment, do you want to risk defending them, only to find out later that you guessed wrong? When the video comes out showing the crime, do you want your name permanently associated with trying to protect them?

The witch hunt / lynching / mob attack is always the wrong act, regardless of what someone has done. Perhaps the best you can do is to point that out, but that is also difficult. People will not read the nuance and assume you are on the other side. And you only have so much social capital - when everyone blocks you after the first time you stand up, what do you do after that?

I believe that's why you think that. I feel that reddit started to go downhill after 2011, which was 10 years ago. So if that's when you joined you wouldn't have experienced what it was like before to feel that way.

We're getting there! My second shot was yesterday, and Steve and Jess are both completely done -- so we expect to get back to the garage soon! In the meantime, fellow Oxide engineer Adam Leventhal and I have been doing a Twitter Space every Monday at 5p Pacific; so far, it's been incredible with some amazing people dropping by -- come hang out!
Read this comment earlier and nodded in agreement. Somehow ended up on Twitter looking at the trending topic "people questioning need for more Ted Bundy content." Oh ha, I agree, I'm sick of serial killer true crime murder ugliness too. Click the link. Immediately see this:

"No thanks, Ted Bundy movie. If I want a story about a white guy who murders women I’ll just watch the news."

Right. White guys, they are the worst. Why is it that I can go on Twitter and within 2 minutes find hate speech attacking the group I've been assigned to? Btw, this is pretty tame. I could find worse with very little effort.
>dopey arguments that the same applies to software engineers

Which used to be a thing but were so unpopular they were discontinued.

Whether this lawsuit is silly or not, it's hard to be completely unsympathetic to the idea that someone claiming a specific professional certification who does not in fact have it is in the right.

(While being completely in the camp that one can call themselves an en engineer is they want to.)
> a big part of the show is about how technology changes us

I've always thought that movie/series genre are just a facade for the real genre:

- Slasher movies are supposedly about the boogey man/monster killing protagonist, but it's really about how humans interact when put under stress and show their true color

- (Heroic) Fantasy movies are supposedly about wizards and knights and witches, but it's really just a huge politics playground

- Science fiction movies are supposedly about new technology/aliens/space stuff, but it's really about how something outside of our knowledge changes us, challenges our values, and reveals who we are. That's usually technology but can be anything.

It's of course not just that, there are always exceptions, and I'm probably not the first one to have this view. But I think this is the reason I like almost anything sci-fi but can barely stand watching fantasy movies: I can't find myself to care about people fighting each other for a little bit more power.
Yes but...LispWorks doesn't include [most of] the source of their editor, so I cannot modify or customize it much. CCL includes the entire source, which means one can customize it as much as one wishes.

OTOH, CCL doesn't have CAPI.
Doesn't even compete with them :) Each of those have opentelemetry adapters.

You'd write your opentelemitry traces throughout your code and at some top level point in your app you configure and say "Hey, OpenTelemetry, report to New Relic".

By itself, OpenTelemetry does nothing.

It's usefulness is that someone writing a lib can add OpenTelemetry calls throughout and anyone using that lib can then collect metrics/traces into whatever metrics solution they are currently usings (be it DynaTrace, DataDog, or New Relic).
You can buy that kind of following for the price of a bottle of wine.

No one actually has the reach of their entire follower count. If there was a way to analyze your own followers to root out Bots and inactive people, who knows how much lower the number would be. That isn’t counting active users who don’t pay attention to you. And even if they pay attention to you, it might be in a non caring way. Outside of 16K being a big number. That number alone doesn’t mean much when it comes to modern social media.

A good easy contrast is the “phenom” of how flighty, not loyal, and weaker of a connection TikTok followers are. I believe it is very hard to go from being big on Tiktok to elsewhere. Contrasted by other social media.

Also. This is all coming from some one who has never had more than 200 of so followers on any social media.
You will not be protected from influenza and common cold. All prior literature on masks and these viruses have found little/no effect.

This is my only qualm with all the different standards. I just want some way, any way at all, to tell whether stuff works the way it's supposed to. Either label the cords and outlets (via printed acronyms, or color-coding, or cryptic symbols, I don't care), or provide the information software-side.

I can't believe Microsoft and Apple haven't built this into their operating systems. Sometimes it's near-impossible to figure out what Bluetooth standard I'm using, or HDMI, or USB, and I feel like it wouldn't be a monstrously hard problem to solve, as long as the devices are already successfully talking to each other.
> certifying organizations exclude themselves from having liability when they fail

That's convenient. The organizations assert that they can tell certified persons what's allowed and not, but if the certified person follows all the rules and something still goes sideways, the license ends up being worthless, because they can't say, "I did it this way because that's what the standards I'm required to adhere to say"?

As a programmer (who gets titled "software engineer" whether I liked it or not) this is terrible. What incentive would I have for getting a license if it doesn't protect me from liability?
It’s a tradeoff. Adopting an abstract featureless identity for your Internet interactions can greatly limit your ability to cultivate relationships online, especially when it comes to producing and self-promoting your work/art
They are until they aren't. I deem it not trustworthy for the simple reason that I can't be bothered to look out for any changes down the line.
Yeah I have to say I also disagree. I'm EE, 20+ years of "professional" experience and I would never use the the term "Professional Engineer" to describe myself and I don't ever recall any collegues using that term who were not licensed. Pretty much every Engineer I know understands the difference and would never use the term. It's like saying you are a lawyer when you haven't passed the bar. In fact within the industry you would typically refer to those people as a "PE" (even if they were Civil, Mechanical or Electrtical in training). Of course it is totally fine to use the term professional in a descriptive manner, i.e. "We expect you to act in a professional manner when speaking with the customer". Of course this is only an American thing as far as I know, I have no idea what the practice would be in say Australia.
I'm still seeing $5/month - https://imgur.com/a/SkQyAIo - I guess either it's priced per region (I'm in the EU) or they're A/B testing based on the number of subscriptions to the launch notification.
The OS can still do cost-based memory allocation considering the latencies of going between nodes. These Milan chips have tons of memory controllers for local memory and compute nodes can allocate all those PCIe channels to talk to a shared memory module (IBM's OMI goes in that direction - a little bit of extra latency, but lots of bandwidth and ability to go a little bit further than DDR4/5 can go). I think the bigger POWER9 boxes do this kind of thing. Migrating processes to off-board cores is silly in this case, but core/socket/drawer pinning can go a long way towards making this seamless while enabling applications that wouldn't be feasible in more mundane boxes.
People seem to like them. And what a wonderful service they have done for society.

But I guess Walmart is always available, or boutique stores if you don’t like big box.
>It's all a racket.

It's not.

>I'm an unlicensed, non-PE software engineer. Am I allowed to call myself that?

In many areas, yeah, you can refer to yourself as a software engineer, but the title doesn't mean anything because anyone can refer to themselves as a software engineer; there is nothing defining what that means.
Yes, Windows Terminal allowed me to retire putty. Proper font support and tabs beat out the putty scroll buffer advantages.
Precisely: this does not work in practice!

I see many reasons why, the first of which is just that most of the time the damage is already done by the time it goes to court, assuming you can find the real name behind the usernames that professed lies, and I'm not even talking about bots.

That's why the liability has to rest on platforms -- and that's in addition to the publisher's liability.

Edit: formatting
The issue is that the people in society with the most free time seem to have the most influence on social media.

Rate limiting people so that they could only post/vote/etc once per day, for example, or perhaps amplifying the vote by the account age might work to bring more attention to more mature voices.
I think he’s saying you should disconnect before any of that happens.

There is no defense against the barrage of a Twitter mob, doesn’t matter how hard you try. It also seems that the better the reputation you have, the more difficult it is to recover.

> 1. Every single web site that uses dark patterns that make not saying yes impractical.

I don't work on placement problems, though part of my work provides input for the placement problem (produce an optimized logic netlist that then has to be placed and routed). But if I can suggest something in the same ballpark: imagine that you have a large graph and you want to partition it into a small number of partitions (say, 4 to 10) of similar size. You want each partition to be a planar graph, and you want the number of interconnects between these graphs to be minimal. The graphs would correspond to metal layers on an ASIC. There's a lot of fuzziness in the way I stated it; to make it more rigorous a suitable cost function would need to be defined.
To add on top of that. It’s really the accusers’ following that is important. The target may not even have a social media profile as long as they have some online identity to point to.
Plumbing is an applied discipline where you do stuff within a protocol.

Most public works and building is template driven with standardized components. Highway bridges pretty much look the same if they were built at the same time. There’s probably 10-15 guys in the average state who periodically update the standards. 80% of the rest of the work is drudgery done by overworked, underpaid assistants and non-professional engineers, signed off on by a PE later.

What PEs do accomplish is making it outrageously expensive to perform basic public works that were accomplished successfully by a DPW guy with a paint roller 40 years ago. Painting a crosswalk and installing a traffic light costs nearly $1M, because you need to hire an engineering firm to duplicate a template, and sign off on placement of lines, etc.
The impact is cumulative so unavoidable environmental exposure increases the concern about additional exposure from consumer products.
We use Nutanix where I work and this has made everyone very excited. Though they would need something similar to Nutanix CE to make us switch entirely (i.e. the ability to run non-production unsupported on commodity hardware).

Facebook obviously gets a lot of crap but they way they default your conversations to your localized pool of contacts certainly acts like "baffles" around an online persona.

Twitter generally discourages anonymity but also has almost no protection against your content being instantly thrust into a national spotlight.
I’ve upvoted your comment because you’re correct that history is full of examples of power vacuums leading to negative outcomes for the general population (such as war or other chaos before a new leader or group eventually consolidates power), e.g., I only learned about the bloody War of the Spanish Succession when I visited Barcelona a few years ago. However, I don’t think the Russian Revolution is a particularly good example as it was more complex series of events and historical forces resulting in the displacement of the existing power structure (Russian Empire).

After the Tsar was forced to abdicate as a result of the spontaneous, popular and bottom-up February 1917 Revolution, his government was replaced by a provisional government led by Kerensky which tried to incorporate all political classes and factions in Russian society. However, the provisional government was both weak and unstable – vulnerable to a coup by monarchists in the army while being effectively dependent on the co-operation of the Soviets (workers’ councils / citizen assemblies) of the more industrialised cities, particularly St. Petersburg. Just as important, they had been unable to extricate Russia from the disastrous and unpopular war with Germany (Eastern front of the First World War) and had been unable to resolve much of the material conditions (food shortages) that precipitated the February Revolution.

The Bolshevik party had been organising as a revolutionary party (previously a faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party) since the turn of the century. Unlike orthodox Marxists, they weren’t content to wait for the capitalist class to become powerful enough to institute modern, industrialised capitalism in Russian society and they believed it was their role to revolutionise Russian society, by-passing the capitalist stage of development.

By 1917, the Bolsheviks had become a well-disciplined and effective political force. They successfully worked towards gaining the support of the majority of the working class in St. Petersburg and Moscow (but not the peasants). After they gained control of the Soviets, they were strong enough to carry out their own coup d’état (known as the October Revolution) and become both the “de facto” and “de jure” ruling party.

The Tsar and his family were executed (horribly, by both bayonet and gunshot) only after the Bolsheviks had consolidated their power in order to prevent monarchist/counter-revolutionary forces (known as the “Whites”) from rescuing them.
This could be the equivalent to price fixing, which is not productive and makes the whole system operate less efficiently, generally resulting in the opposite of what you want. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean you can just force it to go away by law.
