I can imagine most consumers that do any sort of work with their computer would appreciate close to 100% stability when they need to get work done.

That's usually why no one that depends on their computers to work day in and day out overclocks their components. The marginal performance gains aren't worth the added unreliability and added power/heat/noise footprint.
I see them as both blurry, but the but the one on the left is more grainy.

People might argue that it's a stretch (and there'd be some rationale to the argument, although it's ultimately wrong), but LLVM would be aptly considered a split, and it's a split that has had a huge impact.

Lattner begins working on LLVM, a code generator. He and his advisor publish a paper "Architecture for a Next-Generation GCC" <https://llvm.org/pubs/2003-05-01-GCCSummit2003.html>. When he considers this work sufficiently mature, Lattner attempts to donate it to the FSF and get it into mainline GCC, but he gets rebuffed. Apple, who has taken an interest and is his employer by that point, really wants LLVM to be a thing, though, so two years later, they announce Clang and eventually turn out an entire compiler toolchain. It transforms from the original LLVM per se into what people mean when they say "LLVM" today: the work at llvm.org—which, again, all started from what was expected to be a replacement for GCC's code generator.
The plane might not be efficient at subsonic or transonic speeds.
What do you propose “we” do?
I'm not the person you are replying to, but there is a possible explanation if the person is American. In 1964 the FAA organized an experiment to perform supersonic fly-overs of Oklahoma City over a period of 6 months. Quoting from Wikipedia "the experiment was intended to quantify the effects of transcontinental supersonic transport (SST) aircraft on a city, to measure the booms' effect on structures and public attitude, and to develop standards for boom prediction and insurance data."

Link to the wiki page if you are curious

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_City_sonic_boom_tests

Here are some highlights

- The US Airforce performed ~8 booms per day between 7am and the afternoon

- In the first 14 weeks, 147 windows in the city's two tallest buildings were broken

- An attempt to lodge an injunction against the tests was denied by a district court judge, who said that the plaintiffs could not establish that they suffered any mental or physical harm and that the tests were a vital national need

- Testing was paused for a time when activist groups sought a restraining order against the testing

- The Saturday Review published an article titled The Era of Supersonic Morality, which criticized the manner in which the FAA had targeted a city without consulting local government

- All this public pressure ended the testing early

- There were 9,594 complaints of damage to buildings, 4,629 formal damage claims, and 229 claims for a total of $12,845.32, mostly for broken glass and cracked plaster.
> but today it is all about getting scalps,

You say "today" as if it's ever been any different. Has it?
Spacex is getting so good at making rockets, perhaps one day people will just take a ballistic trajectory across the atlantic, and arrive in 20 minutes! It's hard to imagine anyone being in such a hurry. I wonder if the spacex crew has thought about this at all.
This piece tells a compelling story. But it throws around enough casual assertions unsupported by evidence that I’m unsure what, if anything to conclude. For example:

> “The Wall Street banks kept more teams in the office, so they seem to have done a lot better than Europeans.” That may have been due to malfunctions on home-based tech platforms. But Beunza attributed it to something else: in-person teams had more incidental information exchange and sense-making, and at times of stress this seemed doubly important.

This phrasing asserts that an observed affect may be due to one of two possible causes. Of course, the author attributes their observations to the phenomenon they are studying. They don’t seem to have considered the possibility that either the American bankers are just better, or that disparate trading returns between banks in a given year might be explained by factors external to the trading team itself. This kind of sloppy reasoning calls the rest of the content into question - if a researcher is willing to make these inferences in one place, they are probably making them elsewhere.

It’s a nice story, though.
Depends how old you are. Feels like yesterday to me.
I haven’t updated it in a bit, but I did a breakdown of how much money I saved working remotely for the last 2 years in December. Taking into consideration gas, insurance, food, time, clothes, etc saved almost $5k and 500 hours of personal time a year. I do miss the office a bit, but I’ll never go back.
Why does this statement sound sexist? Is it true? I feel like I should disagree on principal, but honestly I've remotely no idea if this is true or false.

I thought the data was that there are differences, but they're so small that the average man and average woman overlap in the majority of their characteristics.
> No, this isn’t normal at all.

Hm. Significant delays and missed timelines aren't normal you say? Let's see (aerospace only):

• all SpaceX projects so far (USA)

• Virgin Galactic's space tourism plans (USA)

• Boeing's 787 and 777X (USA)

• HAL's Sukhoi-30-, Jaguar Darin III-, and Tejas LCA projects and production (India)

• BAE Systems Plc/TAI TF-X project (UK/Turkey)

• EADS's MRH-90, Tiger, and A400M (EU)

• Airbus A380 (EU)

• Comac’s C919 project (China)

• ...

TBH, it'd be easier to list projects that actually finished on schedule and didn't face significant delays, such as the Airbus A350XWB.

And most of the companies listed aren't even money-starved start-ups that required investor attention and media hype. It's almost as if developing, testing, and certifying cutting edge aerospace projects is kind of hard and just as easy to predict and schedule as large software projects...
I think the point being made was Damore's email was sent using company resources, while employed by the company, presumably on company time.

Bobb's blog post was from 2007.
Thanks :-)

The article that got me started is the pdf taken from a conference called "OpenBSD Kernel Internals: The Hitchhiker's Guide" mentioned here: https://www.openbsd.org/events.html

I just checked the link and the site seems to be down for me now, so I refer you to that page. Hopefully it will come back up or the link will be updated.

In that article it describes how to add a syscall to openbsd. So you start by writing a very simple one just to see that it works and get comfortable rebuilding the kernel and testing your syscall with a userspace program.

Then, since I roughly knew what I wanted to achieve, I started looking at kernel code and finding the parts relevant to what I wanted to do.

Then take baby steps with your changes, try and fail until you succeed with a small bit before moving on to the next. Especially value failures, as they give you hints about what is going on. Think why it could have failed and try a different approach that should not fail in the same way. Very tedious and time consuming, but a very good way to learn when you don't have the books.

Then looked for hints on the web and talked to the awesome people on the mailing lists and on the reddit OpenBSD channel.

I did not talk too much to people though, I asked a few questions at the beginning and then had a short conversation about allocating contiguous physical memory to a userspace task, which is something that OpenBSD does not do. I figured out how to do that by myself, by trial and error. Same with other details.

My mindset was: I know how to do this with bare metal, there must be a way to connect to the kernel code and do the same in a way that does not break things too much if I keep it limited in scope.

I hope this helps :-)
I'm someone who's used a fair bit of VR. I never really got motion sick, but initially (a few weeks) I did feel somewhat disoriented and at one point almost lost my balance. For me what caused it was the dissonance between what my eyes and my inner ear were telling me regarding my movement and orientation.

However, I've noticed that with time my brain seems to have learned that VR is a different mode. I no longer get dizzy from it, but I feel a strange numb feeling in the back of my head. It's like my mind knows not to trust my eyes anymore for balance when in VR.
Again, for clarity, the Crown Dependencies are the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. Bermuda is a BTO.

Bermuda has been self-governing since 1620. Britain has very little in the way of exerting any pressure on them short of imposing direct rule (which it seems to have done only twice: on Anguilla in 1968 after it was invaded and only partially on the Turks and Caicos in 2009-2012 due to systematic corruption).

WOW. First search was a success. I remember having issues finding good resources on "windows driver development debugging" in the past so I figured why not see what comes up. These days you get a bunch of unrelated things about troubleshooting drivers and whatnot, depending on the day.

The top results after pruning the normal top 100 were great - relevant, helpful, insightful, if not a little dated (but still good info).

Going to keep this in my back pocket and try it out later.
A bit of a plug, but if you are using python in your project already, give a try to pydoit (pydoit.org/). It completely replaced make, task runners or build systems for me.

Pydoit is the sweet spot for most of my use cases:

- it scales up (graph of deps, file watcher, etc) but above all, it scales DOWN (simple stuff are dead simple)

- it promotes a declarative task definition

- it embraces the shell yet let you use python if you need to

- it gets out of your way and doesn't try to rule your project. It just runs what you want and disapear.

- the doc is nice

The biggest drawback is that you need to pip install it, which means non python devs will avoid it. I wish it was provided as an stand alone executable
> "Some random guy posting thoughts on Substack has remarkably turned into anti-"MSM" advocacy. Amazing."

I wonder if there's a snappy name for this fallacy that professionals are somehow responsible for the failings of amateurs. It's pretty common.

- Blogger writes poorly researched post -> "mainstream journalists are much worse"

- Crypto project is fraud -> "banks are the real scams"

Applying this logic to the tech industry, we get:

- Random Wordpress plugin is poorly designed -> "the real incompetents are software engineers at FAANGs"

I mean, it might be true, but there's really no relationship between the two and it doesn't absolve the amateur.
But if we are, as I hope, on the peak of the crisis, and Boom wants to come to marked towards the end of the decade, it could be there exactly at the time the airline industry is in the next boom.

One factor I've heard cited is that if you can prove something in calculus using nonstandard analysis, you can always prove the same thing with standard analysis.

If we switched to teaching calculus based on nonstandard analysis we'd have to also teach the standard approach because of all the existing material that uses it and all the people who already know the standard approach but not the nonstandard approach.

Not many people are willing to commit to a few generations of teaching dual approaches and using both in their work until the people who only know standard are all dead or retired and all the old material has either been translated or is obsolete, when the advantage of the nonstandard approach is just that it might be conceptually easier or more intuitive.
It's not. Robert Virding confirmed it in the Elixir Wizards podcast.
A petabyte for a cubic mm... astounding. I wonder what the hairy-looking long structures are... they appear in several slices. Contamination?

For example, at x, y, z = 234004, 246203, 2436 (you can manually enter these in the corresponding coordinate boxes on the top left).

I don't see why the media would want that. They are finding out that the previous "surveillance state" secretly scooped their phone records.
Regarding your second link, I'm curious about your thoughts of wide implementation in case I'm misunderstanding:

For a general user, this may just turn into the equivalent of "Terms and Conditions" acceptance. Most just blindly accept them because we're focused on the end-action. The same seems to go for allowing apps access to much of our phone data. In that sense, it doesn't really mitigate user risk (but does give legal cover). Is there any evidence that general users will "see something fishy was going on" enough to actually change behavior?
To my knowledge Google has never challenge the accuracy of those claims, and such practices are commonplace in many tech companies in the name of "diversity".
For interpreted languages we can expect breaking changes in terms of missing or renamed standard library functions, but there is no reason for breaking changes in the bytecode, even over a 50 year time frame.
In fairness, most business travel is not flying around the world for a 3 hour meeting. I do expect events, roadshows, series of customer meetings, etc. to come back--albeit probably gradually and perhaps not reaching prior levels.

When I was in highschool I had several books I had to read that I hated. So i learned to beat the system. I found several online reviews of the book, read those, and the re-wrote them in my own words. Ironically i learned more that way then when I read the books myself, as i would actually have to think of how to re-write the the essays in my own words. When I was reading the book and not liking it, then it would be like a lot of school info, get it in my head, and once the assignment / test was done, forget it all.
If Boom fails, it will be a glorious day for tech journalists to write the punniest headline.
So dump post init, kinda like emacs used to.
Ah there’s a simple explanation. When I read the original post I missed the word “a”, which changes the meaning. When I read the post it sounded like a talk criticizing previous protests as riots, not an advertisement for a future protest.

However I still assert that the talk titled as it is in my post would not be met well.
EVERYTHING is political, when involving more than 1 person.

The DMCA is political, and is the basis in which most orgs allow public comment. Copyright is political. Patents are political. Cryptocurrency is explicitly political WRT being against governments. Most startups are political, in the way many break laws that the incumbents have to follow.

The people who "dont want to involve with politics" are primarily the ones whose needs are met, and don't care about others' needs. I would claim it's for selfish reasons.

That means they used to think with metaphors, i.e. a hunted animal is a mark in this bone. Also that bone is an information storage tool. In order to let others retrieve this data from the storage they first needed a language to share the metaphor.

This is technically true but ignores the complexity of the situation, which is that Israel is essentially at war with groups such as Hamas, which call for Israel's destruction and deny its right to exist. When Hamas starts firing rockets at Israeli civilians, it just isn't clear what response critics prefer Israel show. Israel has little choice but try to destroy and degrade the infrastructure used to fire those rockets. Israeli violent behavior is in response to attack on its civilian population. Ignoring this while criticizing Israel seems strange to me
"The world is ending because cyberattacks" or something, whatever to get the panic levels up in the public, because hey, panic sells views.

Attacks have been ongoing for literal years, but we had a nice war on terror and then a recession to keep banging on about in the news to keep the advertising dollars flowing.

'To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize." They fear an open discussion about these issues because if the truth were the standard people might stop viewing such statements as repugnant.
Palestinians (aka Philistines) originally weren't Semitic fwiw.

They likely came from Southern Europe (the bible specifically mentions the island of Crete as their place of origin) arriving roughly the same time as the Hebrews who came in from the east. This was part of the "Sea People" migrations which is documented in Egyptian literature that occurred at the bronze age collapse.

They were more sort of a proto Greek and most likely spoke an Indo-European dialect initially.

News died. There's no ad-supported news anymore. Anything taking that format is no longer selling ad space to survive. They're selling your opinion.

The modern media that takes the form of news isn't news. It's public relations for corporate and government interests. Whenever a story like this "suddenly feels" anything it's being manipulated by those interests.
That's basically all fast flying planes. Engines are designed and tuned for cruising speed, not for going up to cruising speed.

It's worse than that, only the purest of the pure can be employed. Look at Apple's recent mob firing of Antonio García Martínez. Who made the mistake of writing a best selling and critically acclaimed book just 5 years ago. Featured as one of NPR's best books of the year, recommended by NYT, Washington Post, etc. But now it's suddenly a fireable offense.

“An irresistible and indispensable 360-degree guide to the new technology establishment.... A must-read.” New York Times

“Incisive.... The most fun business book I have read this year.... Clearly there will be people who hate this book — which is probably one of the things that makes it such a great read.” New York Times

“Reckless and rollicking... perceptive and funny and brave.... The resulting view of the Valley’s craziness, self-importance and greed isn’t pretty. But it’s one that most of us have never seen before and aren’t likely to forget.” Washington Post
I’ll take a stab at an answer: my understanding is that Dylan borrowed heavily from folktales, folklore, and the work of other balladiers.
Checking myself, I see on his Wikipedia entry[0]:

“ The thing about rock'n'roll is that for me anyway it wasn't enough ... There were great catch-phrases and driving pulse rhythms ... but the songs weren't serious or didn't reflect life in a realistic way. I knew that when I got into folk music, it was more of a serious type of thing. The songs are filled with more despair, more sadness, more triumph, more faith in the supernatural, much deeper feelings.” -Bob Dylan, 1985

Exposure to stories with a range of emotions is part of the point of English class.

For example, Obama could never lead a diversity effort. That's how pure you have to be.
Imagine the knowledge of a 0day (and how to fix it) as being the cure for a disease. Picture what withholding it would look like. In this year, if ever, people should realize how crazy dangerous and irresponsible this kind of behavior would seem if it happened to not be done with software.

So here's an idea: improve security by stopping the hoarding of 0days.

Built a company that buys 0days and doesn't immediately turn around to get them fixed? Too bad, this is a business model that leeches off everyone's insecurity and now deemed unethical like so many other seemingly-genius business plans. If you're that good, go find a different thing to do with your time.

Note that this applies to states too: in my book they're welcome to buy/incentivize 0day info, but only to then get stuff fixed ASAP. Any state that keeps a 0day "just in case" is failing to protect (among others) its own citizens.
So what do you call yourself now?

The value of stock comes from a several things:

- A voting share lets you participate in company decisions (not that anyone votes for much other than the board recommendations / increasing profits)

- The company may pay dividends

- The company may participate in stock buybacks

- If the company is sold, the profits are distributed among shareholders

- The value of all of the above grows if a company grows, so stock in a growing company is worth more

- The same "get in early before other people get in and raise the price" mechanism as a pyramid scheme

And then all of those factors are awkwardly summed together into a single number.
They are small, and we are not nearly as good at separating out nature and nurture as Damore's claims require.
