I might have messed up that wording.. basically as I understand it the universe started out pretty much homogeneous and uniform, minor deviations became magnified into seeding the structure that exists today, and basically some mix of inflation + gravitation will create additional structure forever, as measured by a value called the "shape potential" C = l_rms/l_mhl of a spatial configuration of particles [0]. l_rms is the root-mean-square length of the system and l_mhl is the mean-harmonic-length. He makes this argument that there are many potential geometric configurations that the universe could have started out as but he believes it started from the one that has the maximum
shape potential, iirc.

Sure. I bet those vocal people would be happy to explain in detail what they did to get those jobs.

It’s not easy, and you may need to actually go to the place where those jobs are. But each of those companies will hire thousands of people at those compensation level in the next year. And the people they hire were in no way exceptional (or different to you) before they started down the path to getting where they are now.

There’s no reason you can’t be one of them.
I don't believe magnets cause bit flips in NAND - they're tiny little capacitors. If you're able to induce enough current with the magnetic field to scramble that, you've probably also induced enough current to fuse open an awful lot of important conductors elsewhere in the device. Which, of course, also accomplishes the goal, just without the "reuse" option.

I’m not sure what I mean fully by this yet, but I want adaptive music like in video games where it evolves and swells based on how much keyboard input is going on.

No input? Im reading or idle, so calm down the music. Lots of typing? Im coding or documenting and need the tempo to pick up and maybe more instruments to join.
It's a mix. Yes, I get a ton of "nurture" emails for webinars and the like. I also get a ton of PR pitches that want me to write about something or interview some "expert" about a topic. (I have a blog, a podcast, and write or have written for various online pubs so I'm on a ton of mailing lists.)
An algorithm is maths, but a lot of code isn't algorithmic. Algorithms provably halt, and most software doesn't halt, let alone provably. Operating systems, browsers, games, etc. are non-algorithmic. It's hard to claim that something like a browser is just math and therefore deserves no IP protections.
It is not my responsibility to protect others. If they want protection they can take the vaccine themselves.

The solution is economic, just not via tariff or tax. Clean energy must supplant dirty energy at scale. The only way for this to happen is to make it cheaper so the developing world will use it instead.
Agree, this is a huge pain point when dealing with multiple clusters. I wrote a wrapper for `kubectl` that displays the current context for `apply` & `delete` and prompts me to confirm the command. It's not perfect, but it's saved me a lot of trouble already — but encouraging other members of the team to have a similar setup is another story.

wizzwizz4 is correct. Also, I have explicit clauses saying that GPL/AGPL dominate.

But yes, my licenses may be incompatible (one-way) with permissive licenses. I say "one-way" because code with permissive licenses can still be used in code under my licenses, but maybe not necessarily the other way around.

I'm okay with that.

virtualenv is so much less user friendly than npm. Like why do I have to run a `source` command to make virtualenv work?

> These infections can cause long-term damage via [...] reactivation of a latent pathogen that begins reproducing again in times of stress.

Oddly, Quanta Magazine's article doesn't mention recent research indicating that COVID is reactivating the Epstein-Barr virus in COVID patients and that this is likely responsible for a large proportion of "long COVID" symptoms. From the study's abstract:

> Our aim was to first determine long COVID prevalence in 185 randomly surveyed COVID-19 patients and, subsequently, to determine if there was an association between occurrence of long COVID symptoms and reactivation of Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) in 68 COVID-19 patients recruited from those surveyed. We found the prevalence of long COVID symptoms to be 30.3% (56/185), which included 4 initially asymptomatic COVID-19 patients who later developed long COVID symptoms. Next, we found that 66.7% (20/30) of long COVID subjects versus 10% (2/20) of control subjects in our primary study group were positive for EBV reactivation based on positive titers for EBV early antigen-diffuse (EA-D) IgG or EBV viral capsid antigen (VCA) IgM. The difference was significant (p < 0.001, Fisher’s exact test). A similar ratio was observed in a secondary group of 18 subjects 21–90 days after testing positive for COVID-19, indicating reactivation may occur soon after or concurrently with COVID-19 infection.

You don't need to be crappy to make something that isn't perfect, maybe it's not even possible to prove that something extremely complicated like the universe is bug-free.

Obviously though it might be a matter of perspective, we might as well be gods compared to ants, our code might be buggy but I don't think ants are smart enough to figure that out.
Are there higher level abstraction efforts in the linux kernel to prevent a hypothetical custom RISC-V diversity explosion from ending up quite as messily as custom ARM did?

Afaict, most of the ARM ugliness was around non-"CPU" SoC components. But it definitely seemed like kernel code organization wasn't ready for a 10x (or 100x) explosion of popular SoCs.

And the entire point of open sourced RISC-V cores is that they would enable even more chip diversity, no?
I have tried so many music genres and following 2 works for me:

- Film scores (not including the lyrics ones)

- Game music

These I think tries to keep you engaged in the primary action (coding, playing game, or engrossed in movie, reading) without you noticing it too often.

Some repetitive familiar classical music (e.g. Chopin) also does the same to me.

Not really. The contentious part in your claim is the "a LOT". You need to prove that it got worse under COVID in degree even remotely comparable to how it got worse after 9/11.

I think it's important to have comments like those as Google, who does not use Kubernetes, is exerting a lot of pressure on the industry to adopt it. It is an extremely complicated tool to learn to use well and companies act like there aren't reasonable alternatives.

Those of us who have gone through it are often coming back with war stories saying to use something else. Some of us have invested thousands of man hours into this already and have strong opinions. At the very least, give Nomad a look. It is maybe a tenth of the effort to run for exactly the features most people want and then some.

People need to be made aware that there are options. I have friends at companies that have large teams just dedicated to managing Kubernetes and they still deal with failure frequently or they spend their entire day-to-day tuning etcd.

> Yes, because in the absence of actual struggle in life, things like getting up start to look hard. Without seeing actual hardship, non-hardships look difficult.

That's an overly broad statement ignoring a lot of what research has found about causes of depression.

> This is conceptually related to the concept of hedonic adaptation. If you were to take someone who is actually struggling and put them in the shoes of a depressed, privileged westerner, they would be overjoyed.

No, they wouldn't. They would suffer from depression and stop being able to feel joy. That's what depression does to your mind at some point. Put that person in the shoes of someone with cancer, that cancer is not going away.

> Someone who has never known struggle or threat may not realize how happy they should be.

This is another broad statement for which there is no support.

Depression will eat your self-esteem and energy, it doesn't care if have been hit by hardships before or not.

What's you angle ? Depressed people are spoiled brats ? Depression is not a real struggle ? Only bored people get depression ? Just say so and stop sugar-coating what you think.

You seem to think depression is only in the head and try to rationalize it.

If you ever meet someone who admits their depression to you, please keep your thesis to yourself.

It's tempting to look at everyone engaged in these shitcoins as greed-obsessed lessers who are about to receive a comeuppance of biblical proportions when this inevitably tanks.

But looking past that, who to you has the greater responsibility in this moment? The gambler who can't stop until he/she loses everything? Or the knowledgeable CEO that runs 2 companies, and yet can't stop himself from messing with people that don't know any better?
I pulled all of my tiny amount of funds out of Binance after they had so many bugs in their UI, especially their authentication workflow.

Not only did they have bugs, they refused to fix them. Time and time again I would send their support a chat message saying there was a bug and how to reproduce it, and they would always reply asking for my national ID.

Fuck that. If you want my ID fix your bugs first. Otherwise I don't trust you with my ID.
Let me help with some metrics about "things" you can install in your house:

- However bad you think the security on them might be at some level, it's worse. A "factory reset" won't reliably clear data, the devices can be tricked into leaking all sorts of stuff, etc.

- No matter what the company selling them says, if it has hardware of some variety, Chekhov's Gun applies - at some point, that hardware will be used.

- You will be disappointed by the supported hardware life in terms of software updates. It will seem like someone has just gotten bored with updating it and doesn't care about the ewaste they're generating. That "last supported firmware" will eventually either have a massive security issue discovered (Western Digital is a recent example) or will talk to APIs that simply stop working at some point (I believe some Samsung "Smart Fridges" suffered this death).

There's no good reason to install this sort of stuff in a modern house if you care the slightest bit about privacy.
In principle I agree, but it often can’t be avoided. Function calls, loops, and even things as trivial as Boolean short circuiting are all examples of essential, unavoidable nonlinear code.

> Can Copilot produce licensed code verbatim, in enough quantities to matter, with a license your business would be infringing? Yes. Can you easily tell by looking at the output? No. Could someone end up suing you over it? Maybe, if they cared enough to find out.

I have a colleague based in the UK who got infected with COVID in the early days of the pandemic, before any measures were taken. He still has important health issues - and he's young (under 30).

Similarly, I have a friend who got infected over the 2020 summer (even though he was taking precautions), and again, he's still seeing doctors, taking medical trials, etc. because of his long COVID symptoms.

I know it's n=2, but I would not dare being so fast to say "it's about 6 months on the longer term, and very rare". I didn't take this very seriously as I'm young, but these two cases shifted my perception on the issue and made me adjust my routines just to err on the side of caution.

"The researchers found that the uncorrected temperature data correlated strongly with data on movements of Earth's core and Earth's length of day until about 1930. They then began to diverge substantially: that is, global surface air temperatures continued to increase, but without corresponding changes in Earth's length of day or movements of Earth's core. This divergence corresponds with a well-documented, robust global warming trend that has been widely attributed to increased levels of human-produced greenhouse gases."
