I can attest first hand to how great Plotly is. I'm building Mito[1], an interactive spreadsheet that converts every edit you make into the equivalent Python code, it's also a Jupyter extension. We use Plotly for all of our visualizations -- letting users configure bar plots, histograms, scatter plots, etc similar to how you could in Excel. Plotly's API is really simple to use and it allows for interactivity right out of the box. It would have taken us months to recreate their functionality that we were able to get in days of implementation instead.

It sounded like that story was at Microsoft to me, but now that I know you thought it was Amazon, I can see that it’s ambiguous and could be read either way.
Raiders player Carl Nassib comes out as gay, first active player in NFL history
The idea of improving humanity by optimizing breeding has the obvios shorthand of getting rid of the interior by killing them all off.
In transhumanism murder and forced sterilization are necessary progress humanity beyond it's genetic limits.

I wouldn't fall as short as concluding that is an idiology promoting genocide, since inferiority spans above race and ethnicity. It is the inherent common ground of being human.

Transhumanism is promoting more then just genocide. To transcend our humanity it wants to rid us of it completely.

Transhumanism is an ideology with the goal to move the human common ancestor point further into the future.

Genocide is just one of a multitude of tools for this.

Transhumanism is the fevered dream of people who do not grasp the limits of our technology. People who think we are just 100 or 1000 years short of mastering gravity and bend it to our will. People who think we can genetically construct the perfect human somehow. Really? Have you ever seen our software mess at all?

It is a dangerous ideology, that denies our most inherent human trait of being a failure.
Btw. the failures and inferior people have been the ones, who improved our technology, science and so on. Take 10 software developers or engineers that are any good and throw something at them. Those who scream or try to protect their equipment are the brains.

Transhumanism is oblivious to this simple evolutionary trick of cooking up genius from a pile of inferior slime.
Just to add, the NFL is even more closed-market in that each team has a salary cap. So giving Mahomes more means someone else on the team gets less.
Publisher sometime send books to bookstores with the understanding that stores only pay for the books that are sold. That creates a problem, for example if a bookstore gets 100 books and only sells 60, what to do with the other 40 books?

One option is to return the books to the publisher, but that can be an expensive proposition (books are heavy). So another approach is to destroy the books and provide proof that the books were destroyed by ripping out a cover page and then sending the cover pages back to the publisher. This way, the publisher has some confidence that the bookseller isn't lying about how many books it sold while at the same time they are lowering the frictions to the bookseller by not requiring them to pack and ship the unused books back.

The fact of the matter is that for many items, production costs are a rather small portion of the retail price. Search costs are far higher -- e.g. finding someone who wants the item and is willing to pay for it is much more expensive than producing the item. The solution to this is not to overproduce lots of goods and airdrop them on the population, the solution ends up being to destroy inventory when the storage/transport costs exceed the expected value from selling the items.

If that means people are emotionally disturbed by stuff that is valuable to some people being destroyed, then so be it. A long time ago when my parents said I shouldn't waste food because there were people who were hungry, I replied that they can go ahead and give the food to whatever hungry people they found, but me overeating wouldn't help anyone who was hungry. They ended up throwing the food in the trash. Sometimes reality doesn't conform to our ideals.

In part, the way the author does. Turning off sensible default like fast booting and layering on complexity for the sake of complexity like Hyper-V.

The desire to criticize Windows also helps…I mean the boot time for my iPhone is much much worse than anything the author measured. My upgrade times are probably at least as bad,too. And Siri search requires an internet connect.
Billions of people only have a (cheap Android) smartphone as their only computing device, if that. They're not buying consoles, computers and TVs.

So given your example which already excludes most people on the planet, I was replying to the fact that Apple hardware usually has a lower total-cost-of-ownership given the longevity and resale value. Of course not everyone sees it this way, nor can they afford the upfront price, but it is what it is. Anyway, the company certainly didn't get to a $2T market cap from a lack of demand.

Fair but if you decide to invest in Amazon with the proceeds you’re in the same boat. And other companies do frequently at least attempt to match scenarios like this (if you’re smart enough to get better offers).
Plus if you apologize they just take it as evidence of wrong doing and that’s the worst you could do.
I'm talking about the article, not my home. It says "the house had already gotten to 78 degrees".

Aagin, the point is the AC is definitely running if the room is only 78F in Houston.

Also I think people really overestimate the humidity level indoor. Even if you leave your AC off for 2-3 days, it will not reach 90% RH unless you leave all your windows and doors wide open.

This season I have tried the very first time to plant some chilis, grasses, and tomatoes on my balkony.

It's amazing how gardening works. It's basically area times water times sunshine. Only stressful moments are cold nights and spontaneous storms.

I wonder how many resources an average consumer needs to get enough harvest for a full year of sustainable consumption? A lot of land and water seems to be necessary.

I've read that Big Banks are still a tiny minority of landlords. The numbers I got for the 2012-2014 market (which was the peak of investor interest after the last bust) were that 20% of homes were sold to investors, and of those only 1-2% were large institutional investors (with the other 18-19% being mom & pop households who want to own a rental property) [1]. This is also consistent with anecdotal reports I've heard from realtors for the post-pandemic market; about 3-4% of their sales are to corporations, and the bulk are wealthy Millennial tech workers or folks moving out of HCOL areas.

> But you probably have a point that if patents are legitimate than an otherwise ethical patent troll would also be legitimate

I'm not sure it's possible to be an "ethical" patent troll. It is a structure explicitly chosen to minimize any collateral in case their patents are thrown out in court, claims are invalidated, and they have to pay to for the counterpart's expenses (and which point the company is simply dissolved, with little to no damage to the owners).

If somebody is so sure their patents are valid, let them form a "real" company which utilizes said patents to bring in revenue, and let that company go to court with competitors and bear the risk of having to pay for frivolous lawsuits.

Not that I think that that software should ever be patentable, of course.
> Are athletes students or are they employees?

They are absolutely not classified as employees, and it's not by the choice of the players, it's the policy of both the NCAA and the individual colleges, a position they've defended in court:

https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/legal-and-compliance/...

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/college-football-players-_1_b...

> I would bet that none of these athletes are paying tuition and have special privileges in regard to course work so they trade this for that

And the NCAA has put a large number of restrictions on what kind of compensation can be offered, which is precisely what this court case is about.

Unfortunately for the NCAA, the courts finally figured out they're illegally leveraging their position as a monopsony and colleges must be allowed greater latitude in providing additional benefits.

> Let's just stop pretending that they care about getting a degree and revoke their student status. They can be full time employees if they want to get paid.

I'm sure a lot of players would love that. As full-time employees they'd be eligible for things like minimum wage and employment benefits, among many other things, that they're currently cheated out of because of the NCAA's position that these athletes are students and not employees.
Any idea what the diagrams were generated with? It looks graphviz-y to me.
Those places are absolutely toxic (Glassdoor less so) when people praise themselves, but I think they're useful in sharing some of the harsh truths about different company cultures, including Amazon. But I'm sure they also miss the overall picture as corporations like Amazon are massive.
What about `history | grep “^git”?

Edit to add: the downside is that it only works in the current terminal session. To workaround that for myself, I have a fish shell post exec function that records the last command run, plus a bunch of metadata, to a log file.

And the cargo-culting of "everything should be API no exception" was due to Yegge's colorful writing which endorsed it (relative to how things were done at Google at the time he was there) in his original piece. I sometime wonder if this development philosophy drove the microtizing of services, and then AWS went to sell that philosophy all over the world. There is such a thing as TOO MUCH atomizing of services.
I think this is somewhat misguided. The main problem I see with the modern music scene in general is that live music is not doing very well, particularly after covid. Coincidentally, no matter where you are, having more live music is almost invariably going to be local music and is much less top heavy compared to the recording industry.

I suspect they are not pushing more live music out of concern over cost which is unfortunate.
Well what is to be expected of an old school nationalist government, with a mindset from another generation? Its an easy win which makes them look good. I do not have any problem with the extra money going back to Quebec artists through royalties. However I would rather have an overhaul of the royalties system, which is based on a pre-digital world. Oh well.

Another vote for second-hand / refurbished Thinkpads, specifically Tx/Xx/Wx/Px series.

X-1 Carbons are good but avoid the touchbar (think it was gen 2), you want physical Fn keys.

I have an X-1 Carbon and a W520, W520 has a gorgeous keyboard, X-1s have chiclet keyboard which isn't as good as old school Thinkpads but still a step up from most laptops.

Thinkpads all good for Linux in terms of hardware. Probably avoid dedicated graphics cards on older models because they're not worth the hassle.

Just watch the screen resolutions and make sure there's no BIOS password problems when trawling eBay.
Definitely cut PE; in most primary schools in the US it's just enforced exercise, and there's really nothing educational about it.

I'm torn on foreign language. I think everyone should be bilingual, at least. But how it's taught in US schools is mostly useless. I took Spanish every year from 7th grade through 12th, but my Spanish even just a few years later was conversationally useless. I think kids should be learning a second language pretty much immediately when they start going to school, and there should be an effort to ensure it gets used outside that language class. (Easy if they only teach a single second language, but harder if students/parents get a choice.)

We did have a home economics class at some point in either middle or high school. I don't remember it very well, but I think that could have been a good place to teach some basic financial literacy. What I do remember was a bunch of sewing projects, and while I do think sewing is an essential life skill (I still on occasion hand-sew things), I don't think learning how to sew a stuffed animal is more important than learning how debt works.
I admire your willingness to write that article, although I doubt your wisdom in doing so.

So far anything I have seen that directly or indirectly argues against cancelling invites a vortex of political bullshit to descend upon the writer, and you are already tainted so you are seen as a legitimate target for more abuse.

I can easily see how I could be falsely accused, and how difficult I would find to recover from that, so I can empathise with your decision to open the wound again.

The Dragon Book is literally a bad compiler book and you shouldn't read it. I don't know why people recommend it (not saying you did.) It explains things poorly and gets far too into the weeds on things that don't matter.

I recommend "Parsing Techniques: A Practical Guide" and Muchnick's compilers book - though there's probably something better by now.

>> SwiftUI is getting more capable with every release, and appears to be the long-term UI platform for apple. It also isn’t just about ‘below the glass’ experiences.

SwiftUI 2 is so much better. I am taking a 50 hour course, and spent a few hours hacking this morning. So much better than when I tried it 14 months ago.

Spacial Audio works really well. They are probably using something called Head Related Transfer Functions, which I used at my company’s VR lab in the mid-1990s.

The example AR Swift Playgrounds examples are also pretty cool.

I agree with the general premise of the article!

I had some decent science teachers in high school. I don’t feel like it gave me a real sense of the scientific method and the labs were mostly technique labs rather than discovery or scientific method labs. I think this was driven by curriculum programming rather than laziness on the teachers’ part.
Maybe A+ promises are the wrong abstraction

https://github.com/mitranim/posterus

In the case of the article, we're not going to do anything more with the Promise references returned by those fetch calls, but it seems Promises are designed to accommodate an additional use case where that might be useful but which comes at a cost, like handling cancelation out of the box on a general level.

Yeah, that's the part I don't quite appreciate what FB is doing on VR. They heavily subsidize the hardware, pushed lots of competitors out (e.g. Vive is really struggling), then start selling ads once they got dominant position.

> Liss said Cuomo called her "sweetheart," touched her on her lower back while they were at a reception, and also once kissed her hand after she stood up from her desk.

There are worse accusations too, but surely this is closer to light flirting than to lewd behavior? Compared to this, a certain recent US ex-president should have been cancelled a dozen times over.
That seems like an overkill. Couldn't you combine the hash together with the date to obtain uniqueness?
protip: although the board likely had to meet to approve their options contract, the board can also do anything such as backdate the vesting period or quantity or strike price or set a more favorable vesting schedule

Also, remember to compare the sites ten years ago rather than today.
That might be a good idea. I do not care about the graphic card, the integrated one should just do fine. A good battery life and a good CPU are all I need.
Technobabble aside, I'm betting the battery life on the Apple Glasses will be as bad as on the Apple Watch or worse.

And people with prescription glasses won't be able to afford the Apple Prescription(tm) anyway.
> Device-local speech recognition is fundamental to AR — we can’t tap our feet & twiddle our thumbs while we wait for a round-trip to the cloud to conclude how to handle “Group these five items, and remember them for next week when I’m at the office”

I'm not convinced that this is true. Round-trip latency has gotten a lot lower, especially if you take edge computing into account. 20-30ms round-trip is not unusual. If your mic feed is being streamed in real-time, and the program is able to achieve a high-confidence prediction at (or before) the moment you finish speaking, I think it should be possible to deliver an experience that feels instantaneous, at least for users with cutting-edge connectivity. For visual interactions, 100ms feels instantaneous; I bet tolerance for spoken interactions is even higher.

Define "good AR"? Pokemon Go is nearing its 5th birthday. A VRchat overlay you can use on the street? If you get the Epson AR glasses, combine it with the Quest 2's Snapdragon XR2, and mess around in Unity for a bit, that could be done by the end of the year. Create an app that's killer enough to make up for the bulkiness/inconvenience/price of a version 1 streetwear AR headset and we'll be getting somewhere.

oof. I've been there.

One day my manager asked me if I could cherry-pick a large amount of code from master into their Frankenstein "release" branch. I thought about it for a minute trying to figure out a polite way to say "you all are fucking insane, you know?" before settling on "okay, I can do that but if this breaks it's on you."

I'm pretty sure if you have releases and they involve half a dozen "hot fixes" then you're doing CI/CD wrong. But what do I know. Everyone is still drinking that agile kool-aid.

It's in the quotes from the offline (not on a mailing list) follow up, so it's all hearsay.

I should be clear, I don't necessarily mean I think the developers are complicit in that. I think what happens is more subtle. IE: Companies sponsor the project just enough to be the biggest open source product in the space, but not enough for the developers to make it great.

Or as an alternative conspiracy theory, companies sponsor the projects of great developers that build awesome core features, but never give enough support for someone to turn that into a marketable product. That way they can usurp the work for their own products.

I know there's a lot of speculation there, but, if you watch for it, you can see how most entrenched tech companies are really, really taking advantage of open source developers. Basically the people who are passionate and want to build great things are getting hugely ripped off by people with yachts and rockets.
Morons at Google do it, too.

I knew a manager who wore a suit to every fucking meeting, and would make a point to bring up IC’s CL counts and lines of code changed during calibration / promo review.

He still works there and likely has sway over the careers of countless more competent individuals than himself.

Quitting Google was the best decision I ever made. Good teams are outnumbered by shitty teams with shitty managers there.
