I lightly disagree, maybe he doesn't do the calculations or write the tests, but he's almost certainly grilling people all the way down to ensure alignment on engineering. His passion being engineering, he's probably not asking 'program management 101' questions, but doing a smell-test on your technical work and your competence level just as a fellow-level senior engineer would.
Is SECAM (System Entirely Contrary To American Methods) dead, too?
I teach NVC and that’s a crucial aspect.

One can only practice Nonviolent Communication if the goal is to remain connected.

If the goal is to use NVC to coerce a behavior, then even if the format remains identical, it is no longer NVC but as you said, passive/aggressive manipulation.

Learning the mechanical skills and language format and applying them without the internal alignment is possible and frequent but unfortunately retains the violent nature of coercive intentions.

The first step toward non-violence is to truly accept that others have their own needs and allow their autonomy, to remove the invisible pressure which comes with “outcome at any cost” and switch from demands to pure requests - requests where a refusal comes with zero negative consequences.

Without this safety, the rest crumbles.
On the last part, I agree - but I think the initial meeting can still happen online. You can always coordinate to meet in-person later.
While ICC did do AMD processors dirty by intentionally disabling optimizations that they (technically) supported in a clearly subversive move, this "worked" much better as a tactic because ICC did legitimately produce better code for Intel CPUs than either MSVC or GCC, and can still produce better optimizations.

At least years ago, if you really wanted to rice up your system on Gentoo, you'd combine ICC with -O3 and get a small but measurable performance bump.

Google. Apple's privacy changes restrict tracking from within mobile apps like Facebook and Instagram. Google is primarily browser-based and remains largely unaffected.

I was in Miami early this year. Every one of the local coworking spaces were booked full with people working on tech and there were no COVID restrictions. The things I loved about SF seemed to be happening in Miami, lots of diverse cultures, food, bars, and people socializing. I visited SF a few weeks ago and it felt like the energy was gone. The Financial District was dead, as if it was still March 2020.
I think this will affect different advertising platforms differently depending on how much they rely on targeting to begin with. Facebook's ad platform has some crazy tools for targeting to begin with--it's a big part of the platform's value in the first place. Less so for most competitors.
Sorry about that. I understand that it's a big friction point. We would be piloting a web app as well soon to solve for that :)
Is this really about wanted vs unwanted ads?

How about tracking, aggregation, selling and reselling your data, and abandoned privacy therefrom? Malware? Bandwidth from downloading all the non-content? Burning cpu's to run the teraquads of javascript?
My guess is that even more than accidental mistouches would just be how many users are used to blindly accepting things because it's the only way to not get harassed with pop-ups. They might automatically assume that if they don't accept now, they'll get prompted again every time they open the app.

I imagine a pop-up like this would auto-register for a lot of people the same as "accept the terms of service to continue"

Yes, email qemu-devel@nongnu.org or discuss with developers on the #qemu IRC channel on chat.oftc.net if you hit issues.

QEMU builds on a number of host operating systems, not all of them POSIX. We'd be happy to help!
I didn't say anything about "our tribe" being right/biased.

I said "our tribe" isn't saying this, where "our tribe" is a quote of the original comment.

This is consistent with any of these statements:

- our tribe say the opposite

- our tribe say something different entirely

- our tribe have no consensus on the issue / there is no "our tribe"
>The fed has too much power and its been used (perhaps inadvertently) to centralize power further. There’s a reason the bank of the US was abolished back in the 1800s.

The Fed has too little power. It doesn't even have enough power to address all the macroeconomic problems that the congress is ignoring. Just think about it. We have to rely on the clowns in the government to make purely logic and rationally driven decisions relating to our economy when they are voted in for the exact opposite reasons. People vote based on emotion and ideology and that is how politicians have to think to win elections.

When you have a government that isn't even doing the bare minimum then yes you'll have to rely on a different institution even though it's not the job of that institution to solve the problem.

Honestly. I am tired of this. I am tired of people refusing to face reality, living in their little bubble and then blaming some guy named fed trying to extinguish a house fire with a bucket.

You have to raise the equilibrium interest rate. Either by raising inflation, lowering interest rates below the equilibrium rate, increasing borrowing or simply taxing money in bank accounts. I'd rather have a big inflation year that makes macroeconomics work again than endless stupid ideology.
Of course they could independently arrive at those ideas, they could independently try them out and see if they are worth it. But why invest what might end up a few hundred man hours in management meetings and trials when you can outsource it to some idiot who didn't even think about getting paid for the initial trial and error phase of the project.

Don't talk to people unless you get paid for the time you invested, the guy behind AppGet had to learn that the hard way, as did hundreds of service companies that got used to outsource initial project planing without ever hearing back from their potential customers.
One person’s “extension of the class system” is another person’s “real reason.”
Very cool! We use Postman collections extensively to internally document our APIs and make handoff between frontend and backend easier. We're waffling a bit on backend schema (currently using Yup & Typescript to export request/response types, but no formal definition), but seeing this makes me think it might be worth investing in a migration to OpenAPI, just to ease documentation.
The ability to do some changes like that is not the same as doing it always. Most commits are quite localized, and those should not be penalized by the ability to have a few cross-cutting ones.
>>> several of my friends (millenial like myself) think that bringing children into this world is a bad thing to do- with global warming and other social problems

...and?

There's nothing at all logically inconsistent about two following two propositions:

P1. All human life has value.

P2. Intentionally creating new human life is unethical.

FWIW, I am not an anti-natalist, and I do not believe P2. However, I do believe it's unethical to purposefully have children you cannot support (financially, emotionally, intellectually, etc.). But that doesn't meant that I think that the children created by people who cannot support a child are worthless or have negative value! Just because "creating X is bad" does not mean "X has no value".

> So it seems fair to assume...

No, it isn't fair to assume that people who believe "creating X in situation S is bad" implies that those same people believe "X has no value". Those are two very, very distinct and different value judgements.

More importantly, I very much doubt people who hold to above position would agree with this characterization of their view of the value of human life.
Most of you don’t need a monorepo, the same way most of you don’t need, well, half the shit peddled in the tech Instagram (conferences, meetups, mediums, blogs, hn).

You just don’t need that stuff, there’s like 20 of you on a team and at best your app probably sucks and barely has users, and if it does have users, it’s probably some trivial bullshit.

You’re all a bunch of ordinary folks, so stop fucking up the workplace with your identity crisis. No, you are not an elite engineer, you are Bob, the guy who goes home every day and watches Netflix/plays video games.

> stop extrapolating from your limited experience

That is just a baseless assumption on your part : I lived for extended periods in other cities.

I know some parents with children here, the subject has never come up. I don't recognize your characterization of the problem at all.

Maybe you should stop projecting your views on a city you apparently know little about?
You absolutely do not have that freedom. Every country has their own rules and has it in their power to prevent you from moving to their country permanently.
This is an excellent answer. I have a mostly unrelated question. In the case of the Collatz conjecture, it seems all but proved:

> If the conjecture is false, it can only be because there is some starting number which gives rise to a sequence that does not contain 1. Such a sequence would either enter a repeating cycle that excludes 1, or increase without bound. No such sequence has been found.

There are lots of histograms and empirical data supporting the conjecture.

My question is, why is this empirical data not "good enough" for mathematicians? As something closer to a physicist, I do wonder what the fascination is with trying to prove conclusively that 3n+1 xor n/2 will eventually encounter 1. It seems a bit like trying to prove conclusively that the gravitational constant is so-and-so, when it seems the best you can do is to measure it as precisely as possible:

> Jeffrey Lagarias stated in 2010 that the Collatz conjecture "is an extraordinarily difficult problem, completely out of reach of present day mathematics."

As someone who loved mathematics but was never much good at it, what's the fascination here? (I'm only trying to understand the motivations of people smarter than I am.)
Ah yes, I've been without watching TV for a good 25 years now. I got Netflix on and off a few times, but most of the shows are such a brainwash that it's not worth it. Books and people, that's it for me now.
Trickle down doesn't "work", because "work" has been defined a certain way. Define "work" another way, and it does "work". It also presumes that the government somehow has first dibs on what people earn, which is absurd.
Here's how the boss could deal with the same situation without sounding like a weasel:

"You're the only person we have who is able to fix these bugs, and if you don't fix them we'll go out of business. I need you to stay late until this backlog is cleared because if you don't, half our clients will drop us at the next renewal. I will make it up to you in your next performance evaluation."

(Substitute whatever urgent problem has lead to needing someone to work overtime.)
> I think 99% of the "hard stuff" at Netflix is serving the video.

The hard stuff is licensing content, IMHO. The technical bits aren't easy, but they're mostly straight-forward stuff that small teams can work on and make incremental progress towards. Having an existing large base of revenue and users and having a clear focus enabled Netflix to get licenses and make a good experience, and continually improve it (although, I have some nits to pick, of course).

Other companies have streaming services of course, but none of them have the organizational focus to make things work as well, IMHO.
QEMU is complicated. You're probably better off using virt-manager, it provides a GUI front-end and also improves on security by using libvirt (with support for SELinux or AppArmor).
Replace 'web page' with "real-time customer intelligence platform' and you'll have your answer.
That's unethical.

I haven't done it out of need, so maybe I have better memories of it than I should but it was a very skill-heavy activity where doing it poorly was frustrating and tiring, and doing it well was effortless and produced fantastic results. My favorite memory is one summer learning from a few adults, who weren't best at it, didn't have very well tuned or sharpened scythes, and then my grandfather coming out with his age-worn scythe whose blade was half as wide as the others' due to years of sharpening and fit him like a glove. He proceeded to completely out-scythe the guys, kinda like an elderly pro golfer. He would carry around a wooden water container on a belt, that held a stick with a piece of sponge on top and a sharpening stone. Every now and then he would break to wet and sharpen the blade. I remember it being scary how close he'd get to the blade while sharpening it, but still he'd do it quite often, almost after every row.

I miss that old communal, village lifestyle. Being financially unsustainable basically killed it, driving young people out after better work. Could probably do it again now that WFH is more accepted, and/or boutique farms and tourist income may provide some support.

For Elon Musk, Jim Keller or even Steve Jobs, their value isn't in manually doing the CAD / VHDL / Code, rather, it is being the Eye of Mordor on the critical path and understanding the solution top to bottom. No excuses, only problem solving.

I feel the key insight behind both SpaceX and Tesla is that both the napkin engineering from first principle and then having the force of will to personally see it through /are/ the most important thing. Both qualify as engineering.

What what you want is a kind of business or foundation where:

1. users pay monthly fee/premium

2. part of that is kept in a pool, part is payed to the developers

3. when bugs happen, funky stuff happens with the pooled money.

See, I didn't need any crypto for that.

Maybe one day crypto can reduce the legal overhead, maybe not.

The hard part is getting people to actually pay for things that they could have for free.

Do you know what the reminds me of? RedHat. RedHat sold (and still sells, I guess) Open Source software together with maintenance contracts (pretty close to what you call insurance).

They needs lots of marketing and sales staff to attract customers. Who replaces the marketing and sales people in the crypto world? Who does the convincing?
If it's coming from a manager it hides the power relationship and creates the false impression that the participants are peers who share and care about each others feelings. It's actually a worse way to tell someone they aren't doing a good job because not only does it criticize their performance it implies that they are inconsiderate.

If it's coming from an actual peer, it's just weird.
Tracking doesn’t actually add that much to how much they can sell advertising for. As to traditional advertising companies it’s simply a question of competence, you may as well ask why they don’t sell vacuum cleaners.
Not even that.

Xilinx's processors have a VLIW instruction set feeding a SIMD-DSP surrounded by reconfigurable LUTs.

May I also add that I really appreciate your plain english privacy summary. The first thing that I think about when using a tool like this how my data can be used without my permission for various nefarious purposes. I do appreciate your effort to leave things client side and to save/load data from the client as well.
I have seen people review and ship code that was all consistent in a single commit, that had to be deployed in separate deployments. In the mixed fleet scenario that this leads to, I have seen failures that require gymnastics to fix.

Yes, you can do similar with reviews that span multiple projects. However, I have seen it happen far more times in single repositories than I have in multiple ones.

Again, I am not in any way offering a panacea. I'm just saying that seeing things as atomic at one level leads people to think they are atomic at the next level. And this is a mistake I've seen many many times.

Yes, I have seen people manage it somewhat well. But every effort I have been involved with that tried to merge code history between projects has had more faults of this kind than the other projects I have been on.

Maybe, there's a biased view in ad business and some of the perceived benefits and effects are rather tautological? (This is why we have studies.)

You could also conclude from your remarks that there is a pervasive idea around ad teams that former generations (in the times of media analysis) were just delivering complete failures. However, this model had delivered for more than a century. How could this model perform with todays instruments and data?

The "social contract" is not a contract, but the word "contract" is used to infer some kind of responsibility or "norm". In reality it refers to what ever equilibrium has been reach in a certain market context between business owners and everybody else. It is a fiction.
It depends what you want to do. When QEMU is used for virtualization it's typically a component in a larger stack like GNOME Boxes or virt-manager, two UIs that rely on libvirt to run QEMU.

When QEMU is used for emulating ARM boards or retro computing you can launch it from the command-line specifying just a few things like the path to a disk image file or the amount of RAM. There are a lot of command-line options and it can be overwhelming, but luckily they are usually not needed for these use cases.

Documentation is here but it's easier to start with a QEMU command-line recommended by the software (e.g. exotic OSes) you want to try out: https://qemu-project.gitlab.io/qemu/
> What I don't understand is why people are using git for this kind of workflow.

People like to use distributed workflows even with monorepos. E.g. chains of commits, branches, rewriting local history, etc.

It's clear that people want a mixture of monorepos with distributed workflows. There are two ways to get there: add distributed flows to a monorepos, or build a monorepo layer over a distributed tool.

Both seem like valid approaches. The market will decide which approach it prefers.

The BlackBerry software platform was even worse than the CE kernel based Windows Mobile, so I don't see how that would have helped them.

The problem was they didn't have a competitive software platform ready in time. In 2007 Google's Android team was already several years into developing Android and immediately started pivoting it into a touch based modern desktop class OS in a mobile package. Microsoft didn't realise that's what they needed to do until 2010 when they started work on Windows Mobile 10. But even in 2007 it was too late. They would still have been several years behind Android and there would not have been space for a sub-par licensed OS up against a free competitor that was years in front of it. The game was already over, it just took them 10 years to realise it.

probably just like google's federated learning of cohorts thing.

they still cluster you, but instead of collecting your browsing activity from partner websites, they do it locally using browser history that doesn't leave your device, and the net effect is that you have an equivalent of a browser cookie or additional http request header that doesn't identify you, but does identify your cluster memberships.

some people are still not ok with this, i'm on the fence.
You have it entirely backwards. The advertisers on things like facebook should be paying the users for using the site and getting their ads in front of them. facebook is not even worth $1 a month to most people, that's why the won't charge for it, and shows it's actual value to the end user. The real benefit of facebook is to the companies trying to shill their wares on facebook.
