IRC might be 'mostly' dead to you if that's your definition, but it is not 'remotely' dead to me and many others around the world.

I use it every day, and I use it for work, admittedly its not freenode but an internal server. I find IRC great for not having the focus of the general masses because of how disappointing the general masses really are.
oh yes. brainfreeze [0] is an example of an FHE Brainfuck machine. the problem is that your users can't decrypt any outputs at all from them. there's also a major possibility of confused deputy attacks if you blindly decrypt outputs returned to you by your users, since the users can "circuit-bend" your FHE program to a degree. for instance, nothing's stopping me from sending the output from brainfreeze back to you early - I can't even tell when it's halted!

0. https://github.com/joeltg/brainfreeze

edit: actually, that's the fatal flaw with FHEs as Turing machines. you can't ever tell when they halt, because that would require decrypting a bit and exposing it to the end user. you just have to keep running them until you get bored, or abandon Turing machines for circuits.
There's some chances to get an idea based on the interview. People who care about code quality will try to ask you questions around the same. If they ask you around how to structure the code for an interview questions in a maintainable question, or how you would write a unit-test for something - that's a plus because it also shows they care.

Pure leetcode like algorithm questions are unfortunately very bad to judge that (in the same way that they are imho bad to judge the knowledge of the interviewed person).

If you are interested about test coverage and practices, looking at the domain of the company might help. Some have to comply with regulations (medical, automatotive, etc) and do more on enforcing to get this right. Obviously code coverage != good code, so the latter might still be on the worse end.

You can also ask in interviews what their test coverage is, and how they feel about unit-tests vs integration-tests. If they have answer things will already be much better than if they have none.

I think 3) works to some extent, and I think there is a small correlation between tech stacks, code quality and code coverage. Most C code that I've seen is very low on test coverage - and I guess that is because a mix of "testing C code is hard" (no nice interfaces/traits, no nice test frameworks) and engineers writing that code having more of a hardware than software background. But despite generally low coverage, there's still a mixture of C code which has better or worse structure. Code in new languages where a lot of users come from a more academic background and are programming geeks (Rust, Scala, F#, etc) seems more likely to have high code quality - but can sometimes also be overengineered. With the more boring managed languages (Java, C#) I usually found things are somewhere in between.

Lastly I want to recommend on simply not expecting too much - things are usually very mixed. More important than the current state of things is also how much you would be empowered to influence and change the status quo. Teams where things might be lacking, but where all contributions to make it better are valued, can still be good.
Not sure I 100% agree. Commercializing creates jobs, tax income, and encourages the best and brightest to focus on the issue. Many researchers in academia are still monetary driven.

Those journals “peer review” and provide a quality bar for the content. The government didn’t cover the journal cost but instead covered the research cost.

Your asking for the government to additionally have its own scientific publication journal that is free. Not a bad idea, but also maybe not the best of ideas.

This sounds like a pretty childish take to be honest.

Of course there is no such thing as objective news, but that's because reality isn't that simple either. CNN and most mainstream news are indeed trash (more like entertainment), but there is very good news out there. You have to find the right news source for the right topic.

For American foreign policy, read The Intercept; for American domestic issues - Propublica, for middle eastern news - Al Jazeera English, and so on and so forth.

News is never "objective facts" and neither should it be. Good journalists put news in the context of reality.
If it quacks...
Yes, I am. I'm an implementor. Some of the most fundamental parts of the web don't have comprehensive test suites. IndexedDB is relatively much more modern.

However, if you do stumble on some tests for basic things like the box model, I'd love to know where they are! Tests like those would allow other vendors to know whether or not they're adhering to specification, programmatically.

Earlier standards are very descriptive, rather than telling you how to implement the actual web technologies. That's left as an exercise for the reader. Seriously!
I am out of the thread. Not interested in engaging anymore with silly, trollish bile that is regurgitated from a reservoir of rancor and insecurity.

All that matters is what is cheaper for McDs. Meat-based order processors are relatively expensive. Like, way more expensive than 15% incorrect orders.

I don't think a greenfield project alone isn't sufficient if the op wants to be happy here. E.g. what if others are contribution on the same project, but care less about quality? What if there is a "skip testing, we will just ship the project" policy in place? In those cases the greenfield project can become as bad as any legacy project in a rather short timeframe.
> USA universities are just another business

The vast majority of US colleges accept government grants and don’t pay taxes. So it is reasonable to hold them to a higher standard than a normal business.
Ivy+ institutions aren't saddling their students with crippling debt (although many others - including supposedly affordable "public" universities - are). Instead they're simply failing to support students from underprivileged/diverse backgrounds once they're in the door and can be safely put on a campus brochure.

> Commercializing creates jobs, tax income, and encourages the best and brightest to focus on the issue.

There's nothing preventing the fruits of research from being commercialised just because that research has been made public domain.

> Your asking for the government to additionally have its own scientific publication journal that is free. Not a bad idea, but also maybe not the best of ideas.

There is already a similar requirement for NIH grants. Research produced with NIH grants has to be made available on PubMed Central.
You can do whatever you want, if you’re willing to take the risk of a long court battle. That’s a lot easier for big companies to do as compared to “natural persons”.

For us living, breathing “natural persons”, are you willing to take on what might be a decade-long court battle, just to get a small amount of money or force them to employ you for a certain amount of time?

The incentives here are very disproportionate.
Idealism vs money and staving off legal issues. Heh.
Apple never test safari very well, I have seen so many bugs that are easy to spot and reproduce.

This. I've just built out an internal CRM for my travel company using Airtable+StackerHQ.com and for my business, it's hands down better than anything commercially available... because it covers all the nuance of our individual situation.

They're, from my perspective, further in to the right than the average repub. Huffpo is sorta where I would put them, if you want a left analogue.
In general I eschew "personal development". Of course we haven't left Iraq yet; we haven't even left Afghanistan yet. That ain't Wikileaks' fault. Next you'll be telling us about the important work we've been doing there: something about women's rights no doubt! Guesses at the hidden meanings of pseudo-spook ramblings are rarely accurate; even if they're exactly correct the story will change in the next comment. Maybe that's how "CI" people convince themselves they ever do anything useful.

To spell it out, the entire thing is a lie from the top to the bottom. USA military murdering children on the other side of the world only ever harms USA interests and USA security. Our wars are evil, done for the sake of evil. We fear brown people so that we might enrich armaments manufacturers by murdering brown people. Dress it up however you want, but that doesn't change what it is and what any thinking person who has actually spent any time doing this evil knows it to be.
Anecdotally, whenever I've had insider knowledge of a news story, it's always been the case that some of the basic facts are reported wrong. Even small local newspapers twist the truth slightly in order to present a more easily digested narrative.

Is there a reason for that? I grew up in my mom's law office and one of the first programs I have any memory of is me making shapes, dinosaur mouths in my mind, in word perfect by banging letters and new lines on the keyboard, well before I could read.

the real problem is that processing the data with FHE on someone else's computer is tens of thousands of times less efficient than doing it yourself, unencrypted, on your own computer, so there's no real benefit from offloading the computation.

except if you're mixing data sources.

for instance, say that I have a sweet Snapchat filter that I don't want to let off my servers. and you want to use my filter, but you don't want me to see your face in plaintext. in that case you can send me your encrypted photo, I run it through my filter, and send the results to you for you to decrypt.

its only real use case is that type of split data custody.

Houses are something that have been built for 1000 of years, we mater the thing. And we have the tool to build them automatically: software, giant printers, etc.

Yet we still don't.

I do think it's possible that softwares will be built more and more by automatic tools (shopify, wix and wordpress are good examples), but 80% is a tad optimistic.
You'd be surprised. I've taken my 500-pound dirt bike (KTM 990A) to the end of Baja (all dirt), across the Trans America Trail, and to Alaska and back. Did most of the hard splits on LA-Barstow-to-Vegas a few years ago, and endless dirt riding in the Sierras and Nevada. And I'm by no means the best rider I know.

Single track is hard work but there's nothing quite like ripping open the throttle on a 100hp dirt bike and throwing up a tornado of sand. I owned an XR250R for a few years and just found it boring.
> Anytime you're trying to color outside the tool's predefined lines you'll be hurting and spending ridiculous amounts of time.

This is exactly my experience. This comes up a lot when someone tries to take a 'DSL' approach to solve a general problem. "Look what you can do in just one simple line!", and it's true, one line and you've got something working.

Then you ask questions that weren't anticipated. How do I reuse the 5 lines I wrote here in another place? How do I write a test for those 5 lines? Can I log outputs in-between lines?

Those aren't exactly scary questions for any programming language - the answer is trivial, and what those languages solve for. But in these fancy no-code systems the answer is "you can't", more often than not. I care way more about how a system is going to evolve and how it will be maintained than solving trivial problems in one line.

They end up being completely unmaintainable and you lose more time than you save.

Frankly, coding isn't that hard. You don't need to be an expert to be effective, and there's a massive amount of tooling, knowledge-sharing, and investment already there.

All of this no-code shit is such a waste of time.

Interesting. This makes it even more bafling to me that Safari doesn't have basic unit tests for a modern feature such as IndexedDb. It's certainly not for a lack of funds.

I used to work at a company where all kinds of tools where in place, from normally written Code to some web-based Oracle app and even an Access-like solution. The Oracle stuff turned out to hardly work remotely and being extremely inflexible. Eventually the company was split ("un-merged"), so the Oracle app wouldn't need any further customizations. A few months later from the department that used this Access-like solution the lead was fired.

On the other hand much of the properly engineered code survived several mergers and acquisitions.
Linux still has a lot of assumptions baked into the page size. Power9 and some aarch64 systems have 16kB pages, but occasionally you run into some corner cases - for example, you can't mount a btrfs partition created on a x86 machine on a power9 one because the btrfs page size must be >= the mmu page size.

I think low code tools have come a long way. I also think the problem with low code tools is the specific problematic edge cases or implementation cases that make it hard to do without the more robust capabilities of actual code. That, and the baseline that if you can produce a low code program, you can code, for which the barrier of difficulty is constantly lowering anyway with more and more robust libraries and tools.

Don't gravel bikes have much smaller gear ratios? There is no way a strong road cyclist would have the same times on a gravel bike as a road bike purely due to the size of the front chain ring. I run a semi-compact up front on my road bike and I can't go faster than 53kmh on the flat without my cadence getting too high to sustain for longer periods of time.
I believe GPT-3 being able to convert descriptions of functions or designs into semi-functional code is what has some excited. It's certainly the strongest argument and reason to hope it could be different this time that I know of. I'm skeptical but come from a generative AI background so I wouldn't underestimate it will be able to do things previously unaccomplished by making templates in the past.
I've worked almost exclusively with university spinouts.

I would say in almost all cases the foundational approach/IP has not been taken forward. New IP was developed, which was more suitable for building a commercial product.

I'd actually be interested in any examples where university IP has successfully been taken forward (particularly in Biotech).

Mostly the universities provide effectively training, and a background of scientific techniques which can help build companies... but specific IP... not so much.

A part of it is interest, too. Simply because there is a exceedingly small number of vendors, building comprehensive test suites that benefit newcomers is just not in most organizations' best interests.

There actually are some partial tests from the W3C regarding basic web technologies, but they're not really automated ones in the way you'd think.
That would eliminate all of SBIR funding, but maybe that’s what you want?

I worked for a start up that was spun out thanks to an exclusive license to the technology the founder developed at a university lab, and then supported with SBIR money. I agree with the article that these types of arrangements are on the whole a good thing. The company failed but without that license we wouldn’t have had a chance, large companies would have no reason to partner with us if they could have the tech for free, or we might have been sued into submission by some of the more trolly companies in the space.

Full disclosure, I work for Walmart in IT and specifically several components for the Online Grocery product.

Build a grocery list manually as well as from recipes in the Tasty app. Then when you "checkout" in the Tasty app it'll pre populate your grocery list in the Walmart app. You also select which Walmart you are shopping at so it shifts some of the items around to match like substitutes for what the recipe calls for.

Intel should be ready to use RISC-V as the core of the new CPU, add x86 compatibility layer, to develop a new generation of "warehouse/workshop model" CPUs that will not only reverse the competitive situation with Apple M1, but also open up the market for IoT CPUs.

Intel has been in a lot of trouble recently. Previously, Apple adopted the M1 chip of my warehouse/workshop model, which not only greatly beats Intel’s CPU in performance, but also maintains a greater energy-saving advantage. In addition, as I said in the blog post, M1 also There is a lot of space for optimization. The new M2 is said to be coming out soon, and AMD is catching up. Intel is in a hurry to change its CEO.

Intel’s original technology accumulation and development route can be said to be useless. If it has been launched long ago, it can only be updated in a big way at the moment.

Now the only architecture that fully surpasses the "von Neumann architecture" is my "warehouse/workshop model". I think Intel has no choice but to "warehouse/workshop model".

Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger's recent announcement that the company would begin licensing its own x86 processor designs to other firms as part of its new IDM 2.0 initiative was surprising. I think this is Intel's plan to abandon x86.
