It's unpopular with some people, but pair programming can work very well for this, even remote. I'm a hands-on manager, and through spontaneous conversations during pairing sessions, my team has learned about things like Agile development (in the real "you discover, learn, iterate the product" sense, not the pseudo-junk that gets peddled many places). On my ideal team, we would have 3 hours per week of meetings and 37 hours of coding. I've done this and seen it work, with stakeholders at the director levels thrilled by our success. We essentially organize around a set of shared values, and team members explain back to me our practices and why we do them clearly with examples, so I know they really get it and actually buy in without me having to force it. This has resulted in great team morale, because everyone feels like they have a stake and a say in our processes. The most consistent feedback I hear is "when I leave to deal with personal life issues or just to take a break, I never worry that I'll be missed. The team keeps going without a hiccup because our processes are so good."
For a journalistic take I recommend[1], but if you would like to go right to the papers the wikipedia article has a good overview[2]

To add further, those more adventurous can also use Sysinternals free Autoruns utility to find out everything that could start.

Handy hint, it has an option to hide all the default Microsoft stuff so you just see third party.
All we needed after CentOS was a drop-in replacement with good backing. That's what this is, so it perfectly fills the gap and saves me from having to re-tool and re-document everything.

There's fine arguments to be made for jumping off RHEL, but if you're on it, it works, and I can focus on actually making things.
On the other hand I can’t wait to get back to the office. Less work cleaning my own bathrooms or worrying about loo roll, getting reasonably nutritious good food for lunch and breakfast without needing to plan for it, 20m of exercise twice a day walking to/from work, the social interactions, being able to wear pants because the office has AC.

The above is a little tongue in cheek but also true. I think it is important to acknowledge that different people have different lives and want different things. I can certainly imagine being in a situation where I would want to work remotely.
Inexpensive, but requires balls of steel to work on a naked CRT.

Of course it is reasonably safe if you do it properly, but as an amateur it's something I'd like to do but scares the shit out of me.
I don't think its a black swan event to the real world, but inside the closed domain of speculation of coins, stable or otherwise, yes, I think it will be.

The US traded stocks overall are $50,000,000 million as of march 2021. from this article Tether is of the order $50-100,000 Million. Its a tiny sub-multiple of the overall US economy, and thats just the US economy, If you factor the distribution of tether into world economy (EU, Asia), it only gets smaller.

Nobody is going to like taking a haircut on tether, but if you put all your non-risk money on red at a casino, you really were stupid. Tether's claims about risk are not the same as the SEC views of Tether's capital assets, backing, risk.

Do the sums on US debt (trillions) for Covid. Now offset that by the implied debt/loss if Tether defaults. It's noise. It's important Noise, But so was Bernie Madoff ($65b fictional, circa $15b actual). or Enron. ($60b)

The Soviets nationalised Baku oil. A lot of people lost money, were burning share certificates in the fireplace. Set it against the great depression, it wasn't the black swan event.
> The bathrooms

At my first job they were so crunched for space my desk in the open office was about ten feet from the entrance to the men’s bathroom. I got to quickly know everyone’s schedule, and knew I just had to leave my desk at certain times during the day due to certain coworkers… my manager was not happy when I cited that as my reason for quitting a few months in!
I think you are describing pump-back hydro dams which are only a subset of pumped storage. Strictly speaking pumped storage only requires an elevation change and a water supply
Radar is the technology that is actually shipping in millions of cars. Lidar is future tech that is not practically to deploy in millions of cars as of now.

There is absolutely 0 chance they could just 'put in lidar' from now on so for what he has to do its not relevant.
You need an attitude readjustment. Your problem isn't the bad review; it's that you care what some big co apparatchik thinks about your work. What qualifications did your boss have to evaluate your work, other than his position assigned to him by fiat?

Being a successful middle manager in a large corp entails smiling when you're expected to smile, feigning frustration when you're expected to feign frustration, showing up to the meetings you're expected to show up to, and writing the documents you're expected to write. Your problem is that you think of them as people. They may be people outside of work, but at work they're a neural net that simulates the averaged behavior of other middle managers in the corp, and then tweaks it to locally optimize their own comp. That has fuck all to do with your programming ability.

It's of course possible that you suck. In fact, it's likely, because most people suck-- excellence is the exception, not the norm. But judging your own programming ability by a column in some HR database that your NPC manager filled in? That's bonkers, man. That feedback is at best a very weak signal for it. More likely you can disregard it altogether, but that's somewhat dependent on the situation. (It is, however, a very strong signal that you're low on the corporate totem pole and can be dispensed with with little risk to the manager in question)

The proper response to a new manager assessing your performance (regardless of whether the assessment is positive or negative) is "umm, and who are you?" Don't say that out loud, but that's roughly what you ought to be thinking.
Before electricity there were many household appliances that operated on water pressure.
Finally, validation! I hate the bathrooms at my work but everyone thinks I’m crazy when I complain.
Yes, I know about club sports since, as I said above, I played on a club team. All college sports should be operated as club sports. Since that's not going to happen for football and men's basketball in USA, it also won't happen for women's basketball and say, probably, women's soccer. Everything else that we're supposed to clutch our pearls about, however? Swimming, track, tennis, baseball, and various other even less watchable sports? Those are club sports. That is not an injustice to swimmers and tennis players. If they had what it takes to be "the best", they wouldn't be wasting their time on a college team.
I have a friend who has a huge contract with a manufacturing company that is publicly traded. Whenever I have the time I pick up some tasks from him. It allows me to work on WebGL which is a nice break from the data engineering/systems design work I do for my regular full time employer.

I also have a crypto trading bot, but honestly, I stopped it recently due to the fact I wasn’t ready to deal with the volatility of the last few weeks.
I hate unnecessary equipped bigger wheels. It just adds replacement cost and it's not comfortable if rubber is thinner.
I think it's not as much the 'OS-platform' as it is the 'ecosystem-platform' the poster was thinking about.
Oh yeah I guess I worded it wrong; I wasn't imagining free energy.

Framing it as an efficiency question is more clear, thanks. In other words, this way of converting $natural_resource to Tesla battery level is less efficient than say, plugging into a power grid as there's an extra conversion step (ground to brakes/ambient friction).
My father (Roy E. Hickey) worked for Graflex for many years as an engineer and designed several of the audio-visual products mentioned in the article. He said the company never made money after it moved to Pittsford (a Rochester suburb). I still have some Graflex prototypes/cameras.

Mentioning the senses wasn't meant to be an itemization of "senses" that a car or car operator needs. Of course you can still drive decently while deaf and without feeling the g-forces. The point is that vision is NOT the only input. In semi modern (non-self-driving) cars, the driver is still assisted by a flurry of additional vehicle sensors in addition to vision and the other human senses. So dismissing LIDAR as "not needed" is foolish.

I understand the complexities of modern commercial flight. I still consider it far less complex (computationally) than driving on today's public road. The fact that you have V2V communication out of the box (via transponders) is probably the biggest factor. I would not rule out autonomous driving WITH a standardized V2V / V2E system. Without one? I'm bearish.

>Japan also treats non Japanese people differently. Nobody says anything bad about Japan.

What? I see claims of Japanese racism everywhere on the internet. A load of people seem to think it's one of the most racist countries on earth.

Yet in my 5 years here, and as someone visibly foreign, I've never been treated differently from a local. If anything, being treated completely normally put a lot of pressure on me early on since the only thing holding me back was my own lack of language ability.
Shock tests: dramatic to view from the outside but ESSENTIAL to make sure you know how a ship will respond to concussion. There are a couple of large-type nuclear reactors on that ship and if a sudden jolt would cause the cooling loop to rupture it's better to know that now than in battle. Granted, the reactors are (or at least WERE) massively over-engineered so these exercises are more about all of the rest of ship's systems coping with a close-aboard concussion without electrical or communications blackouts from ruptured systems and connections.

Most mechanics will quip "Remember, brake pad replacement is a lot cheaper than a transmission replacement".

Don't over do it.
I'm not convinced that most of my fellow "spheroid earthers" reached that conclusion through critical thinking - we learned from authority figures. In my science class we explored some arguments for a round earth, but if I recall they were trigonometry based and didn't involve calculus at all. I don't see any connection between calculus and "critical thinking".
Jake Brake is engine braking, its really similar but not the same. Theres a difference between the kind of power braking/engine braking that a car does and a commercial truck.

I typed a lot about this elsewhere, but essentially trucks have crappy brakes because of reasons (thermal ones, in large part) and as a result, in order to gather enough brake performance to not be extremely hazardous, they often must apply their engine brakes/jake brake/engine compression release brake in order to safely navigate with their loads in normal traffic or an emergency braking scenario (such as being cut off in midtown by some a-hole).

I had a similar experience. Interviewed, did tech screen (and did well) and then was told they weren’t hiring remote for that position anymore, which sucked because I really aced that tech screen.
That was included at the end of the article:

>In the ensuing years, tech security firms have attributed many more cryptocurrency attacks to North Korea. They claim the country's hackers have targeted exchanges where cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are swapped for traditional currencies. Added together, some estimates put the thefts from these exchanges at more than $2bn.
"You must have missed it, but I also said, multiple times, I was wrong for making a derogatory statement."

That's an established fact not an apology.

Glad you admitted it wish you could get a warning from the mods as well.
I think the answer is likely, "it depends." I too have a P50, and mostly leave it with the integrated Intel graphics. The Nvidia is needed for HDMI output though.

In any case, I do fire that up when needed, with its own X session.

Battery is quite variable, but can be decent, depending on what you're doing. I use i3wm on mine, and powertop will show configuration settings that are non-optimal, as well as power-hog applications.
But it's a better product for the users. The social network being used to enable people to talk & share is very good and improved by the nsfw ban by many accounts.

Explain to me why anything you had to say there has to do with a user's experience? The amount of content for non-nsfw didn't take a hit.

You sound like an investor trying to profit from tumblr. Not a user trying to leverage it to have a good time.
I say no. To me a native app is more than just an icon on the home screen.
There was always an argument to go to an up and coming city like Austin or even Pittsburgh. Now, the prices in Pittsburgh are skyrocketing.

It's not just LA, NYC, and San Francisco anymore. Home values are rapidly increasing in places with declining population (Pittsburgh metro, e.g.)

HD 3D maps need to be way more accurate and be enriched with massive amounts of detail. Like where lights are, what lights are relevant for what lanes and so on.

You can't just pull out your street view footage from 3 years ago.
You could use some sort of disk quota system, to make the filesystem artificially smaller than it actually is (trim after applying this change). Or simply insure that you don't exceed 80% - 90% used space.

It it is also worth noting that many SSD's are over-provisioned by the manufacture anyway, in those drives manual over-provisioning might achieve very little anyway.
What's the fastest way to configure this?
That's already the case in most first world countries.

Most people theorize that's it's due to access to birth control and education, but what if it's a long ploy by someone to reduce human population?
It should be possible to take arbitrary video training data (whether from a game or real-life) and automatically reconstruct the 3D models of all vehicles in the scene (and the skybox) and "play back" the scene in a video game engine.

This is the direction virtual and augmented reality is headed (Facebook Codec Avatar, and their room reconstruction technology).
Would definitely be a good idea to put cbsmith on some sort of probation for making derogatory comments to other users.

Good call
It's less well known that traffic deaths increased with the 55 speed limit, because then people would prefer city/rural roads with higher death rates.

Things aren't always so simple when second level effects are accounted for.
> On the other hand, there was no engagement with the material. You read the textbook, watched the TV, and went in to take the tests. End of story.

For an introverted autodidact like me, that’s all I want. But I recognize I truly am in the minority here.

Financial literacy was also taught in school. In fact a lot of "why didn't they teach this school?!?" stuff was taught in school, people just forgot or opted out of that class.

I went to a shitty public school in the middle of nowhere and they taught us to budget, handle bank accounts, etc. We even had fake jobs with fake bills and had to make a household budget. They even offered a class with fake babies that girls had to carry around to teach them parenting skills.

The problem with teaching life skills is that they are not retained if they are not relevant to a person's situation. Kids don't have bills or jobs; money is an abstract concept to them. With this in mind, financial literacy should not be taught in schools, it should be taught to 20-30 year olds who long since left school.
I had a similar setup where the bathrooms were in the office area (not in the hallway like normal) and the ladies had a double-door system but the mens was just door -> urinals (minimal walls/splash guards) so it was an all-day wang-fest for my whole row!
Wow, tried it on friends laptop that I was going to put an SSD in and it was an absolute joke.
Okay, that's fair, even if it's not what I intended.

That probably counts as "constant" because they saturated the market completely.

I was more interested in companies that were something like "$25 million per year for the last 10-15 years and we're doing just fine thanks."
>A Tesla model S is around 5000 pounds

A whole host of 90s pickups are ~5000lb depending on how they're spec'd out.

The Model S is fat. But so are a lot of other modern cars so whatever. 5k isn't that much at the end of the day though. Perfectly within the bounds of what a scrapper or farmer will tow with a compact truck.

>not too shabby compared to your long-haul tractor trailers that get about 6

Heavy trucks punch an 8'6" by 13'6" hole in the air. The comparison is comical.
Hmm I don’t know enough to say, but speed is still important because speed = battery life.

The counterpoint to that is that some things are fast in hardware even if slow in software. H.264 is like this due to some design mistakes but JPEG2K could be the other way round.
One throwaway line about GAN operating systems now made me want to see a shell GAN. Keypresses as inputs, 80x24 terminal screens as outputs. Could a neural network dream of Unix?
You make it sound extremely manual and sequential when reality is anything but.

A team with funds like Tesla, Google, FAIR is going to be using NAS and have a continuous testing pipeline. Tesla has arguably the best environment for continuous testing which is the most difficult part of improving a model. Andrej even said in his talk that their supercomputer is in the top 5 for FLOPs.

SOTA on ImageNet for the past few years has been driven by pre-training on massive datasets. Vision transformers are increasingly more common and are extremely data-hungry.
This approach is actually more convenient during asset creation as it gives seamless texture alignment. The original Quake 1 MAP format used by the editing tools were a bit too restrictive, though the BSP format was more flexible so editors over the year improved on that while remaining compatible.

Also AFAIK the texture coordinates are converted to regular U/V pairs when rendering.

> Tesla merely has to open the money tap to get more of both compute and storage, and let the real-time data flow in.

> Musk and Karpathy have been dead wrong about LIDAR for years.

Right, because all those companies that use LIDAR are making billions driving people around. Oh, wait, actually they are burning 100 of millions every year.

> I think most hilarious is that both Karpathy and Musk claim the LIDAR systems are too expensive.

That's literally the opposite of what Musk says about Lidar. He LITERALLY said he wouldn't use them if they were free.

Look up the Marginal Revolution from 1870.

... The entire paragraph is an exercise in missing the point.

It seems really what you are saying is not that Tesla are charlatan but the whole industry is.
I’m moving in the opposite direction. One of the things I have trouble keeping up is with latest best practices and new frameworks and dependency injection and unit tests and… just need to find my grove where the mindless hype and green engineers are less of a problem.
I wonder how much less efficient this is than charging it through normal means. Can someone more intelligent than me run the numbers on that?

Was your manager unhappy with you or the company?
There is a fantastic piece on this topic that really resonated with me: https://markfreedman.com/returning-to-development-from-manag... I'll try not to duplicate it too much in my story.

I started out as a Java-by-the-yard consultant, but I was at a "fast-paced" consulting company and so was very quickly given as much responsibility as I could handle, which as it turned out was a lot. I never set out to be a manager as such, but the opportunities were there, and I climbed the ladder and did well w/ external accolades.

At about the decade mark in my career and a location and employer jumps later, I was a manager-of-managers w/ about 75 reports, and making a lot of money, in a highly visible position at my company where I got a lot of support and accolades. And I was miserable! I mean, I can only use that word in hindsight -- it took a lot of introspection to pick apart my circumstances and really dig into what I truly wanted out of life.

I did a serious course correction here -- I did a lot of self-learning to ramp back up on modern coding, and I was very fortune to land a technical (but not "developer") FAANG job. I learned as much as I could there, and even took a (much more junior) management role, but I quickly realised that even at a more "technical" company I was still miserable if I wasn't the one building things.

I'm currently 1.25 years into a GREAT job, and although it's not perfect, I'm delighted every day to open up Vim and write Python, C, and some other fun stuff. It took me nearly 3 years to go from "I think I want to be a developer again" to actually working full time as a developer, but I also stayed employed (and had 2 children!) during that time, so you could certainly make the switch faster if you really wanted to.
Except that their competitors are giving you 25/25/25/25 vest with 100/0/0/0 signing bonus.
Whoa Mito is pretty neat! Is there a way to export what I did via the GUI into lines of code?
