I think that the next thing to explain is that what we can do has very limiting rules rules and they aren't what we are used to. Something like this:

"In order to maintain a quantum superposition, we have to follow very strict rules imposed by quantum mechanics. We can't make operations depend on the state, so nothing like an if statement is available. Also all operations have to be reversible, so we don't have logical 'and' or 'or'. A relative handful of programs can follow these rules and get a huge speedup from quantum parallelism. The vast majority of useful computer programs can't be rewritten this way and get little or no speedup."
I've been writing SwiftUI full time for the last year and it's still hard for me to read.

You don't have to (and almost certainly shouldn't) write it like that.

It's strange maybe I like to use the mental landscape, but I prefer the ASCII character graphics than use any tileset. The game is terribly addicting and the tactics can be quite deep. And you die, so easily. It's just a great game. And I love the whole scene with all the variant games.
There have been plenty of games with over 1 million in sales being labelled as roguelike in the past decade or so, for example: FTL, Binding of Isaac, Slay the Spire, Dead Cells. You might note that each of these games has a completely different style of gameplay to the point where the roguelike label is only describing the format, similar to a game being single-player vs. multi-player or competitive vs. cooperative. I'm somewhat surprised by deck-building games in particular using the Roguelike label as they are more or less procedural and "permadeath" by definition.

I've seen "run-based" being used to describe the format, which isn't quite as catchy of a term but gets the point across better.

"Traditional roguelike" is how I've started searching for games such as Angband which are actually, well, like Rogue.

RFC's and man pages are written down already. When they say "write things down" it's not about duplicating that effort, though you might make an FAQ that links to them.
Last time I have checked Apple's appstore rules, if you don't take payments within an app and you DON'T tell users of an app to pay outside of it, you are clea from their tax.

So, for example, if you ask for their email and then email them to pay via their website, they won't bother you.

Has this policy changed? Or does Fanhouse ask for payments from within an app?
> The goal in devising an algorithm for a quantum computer is to choreograph a pattern of constructive and destructive interference so that for each wrong answer the contributions to its amplitude cancel each other out, whereas for the right answer the contributions reinforce each other. If, and only if, you can arrange that, you'll see the right answer with a large probability when you look.

Knowing little about QC, and based on reading that, it seems a qbit would be better called a qgate. It's not the store of data as much as the physical component that manipulates it, based on inputs. - Is that even approximately on target?

Maybe I'm in the minority or bubble, but I don't know of anyone who has KPIs tied to documenting knowledge in the first place. Business people and product managers rarely care (and why would they!) about anything outside delivering features and fixing bugs. So that's in the KPIs, and KPIs are what sets priorities inside company.

It's an interesting point, but bear in mind that the scenarios raised in this and adjacent threads didn't involve subdividing but rather just hooking up an existing lot. One would hope that system capacity was at least sufficient for the lots that already existed when it went in.

If there were a need to charge for capacity upgrades, it seems such things should be billed separately and explicitly. (My electric bill itemizes hookup, transmission, and generation among other things.)

I said nothing of qualia. Science has no tools to even begin trying to model, describe or explain them. All I am saying is that from a physical perspective, a mind is just as deterministic as an orbit. So far nobody has discovered anything to suggest otherwise. You're taking a concept that exists outside the conceptual space of physics and using it to make statements about physical systems.
Thanks. I'm familiar with administrative law. But IIRC that the no-fly list, which seem similar, did/does not involve any dispute process. Also, the Trump administration did a lot to undermine due process in administrative courts, at least for immigrants.

Well there are "qgates" in the form of the transformations we can apply to qbits. And I would say that the operands of those transformations should probably be called qbits because that's where information is stored in the quantum computer for doing operations. It may not resemble classical data too closely, but it's still an information store.

Actually, developers need to do nothing for their apps to appear on macOS. Most developers have specifically gone and opted their apps out, though.
I'd agree on most points, but like others, 1 & 2 I don't agree with.

Most of my knowledge is useless or irrelevant, so taking the time to document this knowledge is a waste of time. 90% of writing a document is understanding your audience and "document your knowledge" misses that point. Littering documents and code with various tidbits is also not very helpful and probably not worth anyone's time.

Documenting long term plans is also pretty useless. Realistically, anything past 30 days is not going to happen. Documenting your strategy and decision making process may be useful, but your idealistic plans? Probably not unless it's just a few bullet points.

The most important documentation is usually the "why?", which ideally should be written before the project starts. Documentation outside of the scope of in-flight projects (which 1 & 2 seem to be encouraging) are not as important as they can be discovered with a tiny bit of effort.

My father had a rather clever way of explaining the bid-ask spread:

“Every time you have an exchange of goods and services between two parties, you have an agreement on price and a disagreement on value.”

i.e. Given an exchange between a seller and a buyer selling a widget for $100, the seller by definition values the $100 more than the widget while the buyer values the widget more than they value the $100.

I agree with you, and am actually for certain state interventions to correct for this (like mandated health insurance that actually works as insurance and not the perverse chimera it is now), but even a naive free market would be so much better than what the US has now that I can't bring myself to care so much about the second-order corrections.

This is wrong. It decreases by f, not (1-f).

> You could reduce the number of State variables using one or more shared state objects and access via environment at certain points in the view hierarchy.

Just a personal opinion here, but those shared state objects and SwiftUI + glorified singletons really hurts every time I see it. It's so prevalent in online tutorials like Ray Wenderlich and the such.

Honestly, it's hard to avoid and can be done but requires a significant effort. I was hoping for Apple to come up with a more elegant solution during WWDC 21 but so far I haven't seen anything to improve this situation.

https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/steo/images/Fig19.png is a decent illustration of one of the issues here: the US has been reducing its demand for oil imports over the past decade. In addition, the kind of oil that comes out of the tar sands in Alberta is pretty much the lowest, worst grade of oil possible (not to mention some of the most expensive to produce!), so if you've got more oil than you know what to do with, it's the first one you'd want to stop buying.

Besides the environmental issue of "we don't want to spend any extra money subsidizing oil production," there's also a strong amount of concern about the impact along the construction pipeline--particularly among the indigenous lands it would travel against the wishes of the indigenous people who live there.
Shipping your quantum algorithm requires access to a limited number of very expensive quantum computers that, for all intents and purposes, are not actually available.

A classical algorithm can be run immediately on commodity hardware tomorrow. And, most of the time, novel quantum algorithms actually can be matched or beaten classically.

Given that it makes sense to spend a small fraction of the cost of the needed quantum computer looking for the classical alternative. Preferably before you start investing in building the quantum computer.

See https://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=3192 for an example of this back and forth.

Could be a bit off-topic, but “Involution” (like racing among peers for long working hours) is super real for China’s tech industry. Not even sure it’s related to the ideology - same symptom among Chinese engineers in Bay Area as well.

This comment illustrates exactly why I joined the military years ago. After college I turned down great salary opportunities and became an officer because somebody has to fight for our country and most people are too committed to other responsibilities -- or preoccupied, self-absorbed, or downright cowardly -- to do it. So I served. Then I got out. I took nothing, wanted nothing, don't like pre-game "salute our heros" parade ground BS and I don't ask for military discounts.

If you hung out with more former military dudes you'd be surprised how many of them like me there are.

You're sure making a big deal out of remembering a seed phrase.

The original point was

Which is just false as a seed phrase is all that's needed if the hardware wallet is lost.
That was true when the EUA was issued, but by now, we have vaccinated major segments of the population without seeing issues (e.g. hospitalizations are decreasing even as the rate of exposed population is much higher).

I was in a similar position as you: possible early COVID exposure (though no symptoms), several positive antibody tests, but absolutely zero side effects from either Pfizer shot. Annoyed not a few people though by my lack of any reaction to the shots, so that was kinda fun.
In the first minute reading, it managed to be both racist and sexist, but not funny once. :(
Very relevant nitpicking! Also makes vaccination more tricky as it should ideally cover all strains to prevent the same effect.

>I want honesty, compassion and loyalty to be a thing. Especially from a government to it's citizens.

A government is too abstract to be compassionate or loyal, and will only remain honest as long as some cynicism remains.
Correct. This is why a company that has its shit together will also have engineering managers and engineering leadership generally, in addition to business people and product managers. The engineering leaders, if they are any good, will negotiate and enforce a "you have to give engineers time to rebuild MVPs properly, and to document, etc. etc." policy with business and product.
Point 1 specifically says to write things down every time someone asks you a question. Taking DNS as an example, 1034 1035/4034 4035, among some others, I don't see how that's helpful even if I make a linking FAQ. My notes would say 'DNS question, read these 4 RFCs' over and over and over.

The 'walking off' prevention tags are brilliant.

At a previous company I worked at in a niche field, we had several field specific control units used for development and debugging (you pretty much couldn't work without these). They were just expensive enough to have to jump through hoops to buy them, and just cheap enough that all hell didn't break loose if one got lost, loaned (permanently) to a client, etc. Consequently, we were always short, and people tended to furiously guard 'their' equipment (to the point of lying about having one on hand, when asked). Due to testing during development the units were also quite prone to being blown (usually easily repaired, but enough of a nuisance for a pile of broken ones to be around, in case of absolute emergency).

How did one of my co-workers solve the problem? Labeled all his equipment as 'Broken' in his handwriting...
That’s what switching companies is for.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing your take. This is new to me so I really appreciate it
> It does not. It maximizes log-wealth. Maximizing expected wealth gives a strategy which results in $0 a lot of the time but much much more than Kelly occasionally, achieving a higher average wealth.

Log utility function is u(w) = log(w), that’s what it is called in economics. Surely maximizing log of wealth means you are maximizing log utility function.

> Kelly gives that up, getting far less expectation of actual wealth, but far more expectation of log-wealth (which is -inf at $0 so avoids the $0 results).

That’s a crucial misunderstanding of the Kelly’s result. He doesn’t give anything up. He showed than in a nonterminating game the strategy of betting as if you have log utility will give you superior results to any other strategy in terms of long-term wealth growth. What if the game is terminating? Well, in that case you need to know the utility function of the gambler to determine a superior strategy. But in a non-terminating game it is a bit irrelevant because almost all strategies will lead to infinite utility.
A priest, a doctor, and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers. The engineer fumed, “What’s with those guys? We must have been waiting for fifteen minutes.” The doctor chimed in, “I don’t know, but I’ve never seen such inept golf.” The priest said, “Here comes the greenkeeper. Let’s have a word with him.”

The priest said, “Hello George, what’s wrong with the group ahead of us? They’re rather slow, aren’t they?.” The greenkeeper replied, “Oh yes, thats a group of blind firemen. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year so we always let them play for free at any time.”

The group fell silent for a moment.

The priest said, “That’s so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight.,”

The doctor said, “Good idea. I’m gonna contact my optomologist colleague and see if there’s anything he can do for them.”

The engineer said, “Why can’t they play at night?”

Immediately, SAP NetWeaver comes to mind. The whole architecture, concept and experience is violating every possible UX guideline of any operating system - and has never been updated since the 80s.

Every single person I've talked to hates SAP for various reasons. Nobody understands why there's no alternative, and nobody understands why SAP exists in the first place. And everybody hates that SAP created the optimum lock-in scenario; where they fictionally created the maximum amount of cost for companies trying to switch to another, more modern, system.
