I actually don't find this to be unreasonably precise.

I saw a video that showed how the blast was captured on around a dozen independent devices (smartphones, surveillance cameras) and how that data could be used to reconstruct a very good 3D capture of the blast and resulting smoke cloud.

If the FBI spent X hours of simulation time to reproduce the 3D results captured on those videos, they might get it down to that precision (and who knows, maybe they just ran a lot of renders and 552 was the one that looked most right, while anything between 538 and 564 was also fine).
Yeah a lot of companies go like "we're going agile" and just do the tools bit with Jira and its Kanban and rigid time management.

It's more like ticking boxes and pretending to know what they're doing than actual agile project management.

So now we're stuck with a lot of overhead crap and even more workload. And the system actually slows us down when we try to adapt to a changing environment.

Problem is mainly that this happened because the director of project management really liked the reports from Jira and thus the main reason for it all is to get as much data as possible in there (notice how 'accurate data' does not seem to be a focus :) )

There is this strange talk of breaking the habit when it comes to entertainment. The "habit" was already breaking, but not because people do not want to go to theaters. People were turning off, tuning out, and not going because shows, sports, and movies were no longer providing escapes. Everything is becoming political and lecturing.
>It's cheaper still to build barriers

for some definition of cheaper. For full cost you need to factor in political costs of implementing such a a collective action as well as opportunity costs. And once built it needs to be maintained. It requires continuous involvement into political fight to insure that the maintenance is happening to avoid Katrina type situations. The implicit threat of non-maintenance becomes a tool of political blackmail and pressure. It makes for high-risk business environment which is just bad for business.

>it seems incredibly stupid to be burning subsidized fossil fuels.

well, removing the subsidies and decreasing the fossil fuel burn is an immediately available very low cost collective action to slow climate change and delay water rise... We can see how it's been going so far.

>A proper carbon taxing scheme with tariffs on countries that don't play along would make so much sense.

Russia for example has all the sanctions and tariffs (and when there is no tariff imposed from outside, Russia usually takes care about that by having self-inflicted inside tariff there :) so it is hard to make much more, and Russia is anyway going full-steam into that warmer future (the global warming was taught in middle school even back in 198x in USSR) pumping oil and gas like crazy. Many Russian territories are becoming much more conductive for living and doing agriculture there. Short of WWIII there is not much can be done here (and Russia is actively building bases in the North and Far East as well as new strategic weapons system - the point is that they don't bet much on global international cooperation :). I'm pointing at Russia because i know it better than other countries, and of course it may be that Russia is large outlier, yet i somehow think that a number of other countries are also not betting much on successful global international cooperation in particular when it comes to global warming.

Is anyone else nervous About keeping that much explosive material on hand may Be more sinister than run-of-the-mill incompetence and bureaucracy?

Like, this is a perfect opportunity to slowly sell large amounts of a regulated material, ammonium nitrate, on the black market?

I usually guard against conspiratorial Explanations when mere incompetence will suffice. But this does speak to two compelling explanatory narratives.

First why in the world other than the reported bureaucracy would they keep that much just laying around. Second slowly selling over time explains the missing material from the FBI estimate.
To be even more accurate the older folks are uncomfortable with provable allegations that they are brain damaged.
Agreed, it does beg the question. Three digits of precision does not mean there isn't an error of +- 100 tonnes on the actual source calculation. I can imagine an engineer in the FBI did some modeling using damage radius, height of blast, etc. to get a rough estimate. News, being news, cuts off the error or the FBI, trying to look very competent, omits the error.
It does. The distinction I'm making is that fsync is only 100% safe if you use it with a shared-nothing replica and min-replicas-to-write >= 2. If you have such a replica, you no longer need the fsync, and you are safe against anything but a regional-scale catastrophe.

It couldn't be less of "everything is a hammer." We had native apps before Electron. It was developed and people choose it because it saves time and utilizes skills they already have. Like another poster, I smell management-style disdain for devs here.

The position low wage workers are in extends beyond what they make, too. Most part-time hourly jobs, especially those that pay less than $15, have extremely unpredictable schedules and have to deal with aggressive and rude customers day in and day out, while being treated as “less than” by management.

Fortunately, when I worked for near-minimum wage, I was a lifeguard so I had the authority to tell off and kick out bad patrons. I still got treated like shit, with 10-12 hour workdays in 100+deg weather, inconsistent scheduling, and once even being told I had to stay after my shift when I had plans or lose my job (I called their bluff and decided to quit anyways).

I have a software job now and it’s better than food service, retail, and lifeguarding by a WIDE margin. I think a lot of people here take for granted the stability and consistency offered by their (typically) office jobs, as well as the significantly better physical and mental conditions.

Yeah I agree - during undergrad, I spent a few years studying neuroscience, and I was very let down by my first ML/AI course. Compared to what I had learned about the brain, what we called an "ANN" just seemed like such a silly toy.

The more you learn about neurobiology, the more apparent it is that there are so many levels of computation going on - everything from dendritic structure, to cellular metabolism, to epigenetics has an effect on information processing. The idea that we could reach some approximation of "general intelligence" by just scaling up some very large matrix operations just seemed like a complete joke.

However, as you say, that doesn't mean what we've done in ML is not worthwhile and interesting. We might have over-reached thinking ML is ready to drive a car without major fourth-coming advancements, but use-cases like style transfer and DLSS 2 are downright magical. Even if we just made marginal improvements in current ML, I'm sure there is a ton of untapped potential in terms of applying this tech to novel use-cases.

If your code has any size, you won't get all that information from a builder log. Even if it is there, if you knew where to look you would have set the version limits correctly from the beginning.

Fixing this on your own computer is quite straight forward, you just need to check the dependencies, you don't need the info line. Fixing that kind of problem on the build server is one of the reasons we have all those practices about reproducible compilation. On this specific case, it's a matter of freezing your dependencies.

> Recurring costs and savings of the same are very real things, and there is a ton of money to be saved by streamlining this for many businesses that have grown without pruning and/or streamlining their internal systems.

Yes, streamlining can save a great deal of money, and consultants and businesses are making good money offering such services. But they are only represented once generally in financials of a company, unless that cost is reduced over time.

> For most software businesses, it is more lucrative to spend resources increasing revenue, but at some point decreasing costs becomes worth it. For non-software businesses, the “some point” is usually right now.

In general this is correct, but there are situations where cost savings aren't worth it. We see this play out with the idea of Linux vs Windows quite often, the reduction in cost switching to Linux is over shadowed by other issues such as training etc. Switching accounting systems, service providers etc might just not be worth the cost reduction.
Yes, but the problem with Li-Ion fire in a confined environment is that it generates a lot of toxic gas (doable but you need equipment for that), a lot of hydrogen which will react with everything near by, and the risk of explosion (in the sense of rapid fire expansion with a thermal run-away of most cells) is higher.

My guess is that the floor was poorly ventilated with complex access, rendering the access to the fire unnecessarily hazardous.

The author seems to have missed or excluded reinforcement learning and planning algorithms in this definition.

My criticism of AI criticism in general is that no one admits that at the root of it, we do not understand thinking (or "consciousness"). We are merely the "recipient" or enjoyer of the process, which is opaque. Just as AlphaGo, even if it just a facsimile of a Go player, could beat a human at Go, it is probable that an AI could produce a passable facsimile of thinking at one point. Its mechanisms would be as opaque as human thinking (, even to itself), but the results would be undeniable. AGI is a possibility.

I'm one of the authors of Ragel and I disagree with you. HTTP is trivial enough that you'd be better served writing the state machine yourself using a switch statement. See my GitHub link above for an example. The code easily ports to other languages, like Java. Lastly when it comes to Ragel and gperf, they both do two completely different things. Ragel would generate a prefix trie search in generated code which would have enormous code size compared to what gperf is doing, which is much faster. With gperf, you only need to consider exactly O(3) octets total to tell which header it is. After that, it does a single quick string compare to confirm it's one of the predetermined headers rather than some unknowable value.
I also feel like there is a very short jump from the lead crime hypothesis to a lead political dysfunction hypothesis. Meaning older voters and politicians have poor critical thinking ability and poor impulse control. Which causes them to make bad political decisions.
I consider Header value parsing and URL parsing part of HTTP, those are certainly not trivial.

Thank you for giving an employer's perspective here. I can see how finding qualified applicants can be difficult, and I hope you find qualified people for your other open positions. Nonetheless, I think the hiring process you describe could be improved. As I had stated in my previous comment, it might be helpful to consider whether an applicant can do the work rather than just whether they have done the work before. I admit that is difficult to gauge, but that perspective may help you see more potential applicants.
