I think that statement suffers from hindsight bias: x86 is great now because of enormous leaps in compiler technology to work. Yes, compilers do need to evolve with CPUs, they don't just grow on trees!

Put another way: given a choice between stuffing an electric engine in a Ford Fiesta, and a Tesla, Itanium could have been the Tesla in the hands of another company, but the market went after the Fiesta retrofit because it was here-and-now, not coming-soon.

No vaccine has ever conferred absolute immunity to everyone.

The covid mRNA vaccines are extremely effective, far superior to the alternatives (the US is very fortunate to have never approved AstraZeneca), so I have no idea why you'd mention them in particular.
A similar idea is finger search (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finger_search), where you can turn a traversal of a tree from O(log(number of items in the tree)) into O(log(number of items between the finger and the key)).

Nothing about this history lines up with facts. Intel killed the RISC workstation CPUs with the Pentium Pro, not with the Itanium. PRO/Engineer and SolidWorks had been ported to Windows NT at the very beginning of that operating system's availability, and the performance on x86 was already better than RISC workstations, at a tiny fraction of the cost, by late 1995.
Ankylosing Spondylitis patient here who has tried and failed most NSAIDS, Sulfasalazine, and 3 TNF inhibitors. Don't feel dread towards this notion! The immune system is definitely super complex and spaghetti code like, but rheumatology and science in general is working it's way through reverse engineering it. Since TNF inhibitors have come out, lots of data on these monoclonal antibody drugs that inhibit specific parts of the immune system have been gathered. The short term and long term side effects are noted and increasingly understood. If your rheumatologist has a good bedside manner, they should give you some comfort in how widely many of these drugs are used, what is known, and what is unknown.

I'm not trying to make any claims that we are close to a full or maybe not even good understanding of how the immune system works, but science is definitely advancing towards reducing the unknowns. I've been through the ringer of all the treatments and currently am not able to find relief in any, but I'm just trying to offer some hopeful empathy as someone who has at times felt dread from having very rare side effects to a whole bunch of the medicines and I rarely feel dread in general despite the uncertainty and my pain.

As always, talk things through with your rheumatologist and GP if you have concerns.

I had job where we had an agile coach. First job at of college.. I thought it was the dumbest thing ever and pointless. Then they fire the person and replaced them. It was a complete 180. The new person was so good at just coming in sitting down and just listening. Then give some quick advice and things to try. Then leave and then follow back up after a bit and check in. Not everything they suggested worked. But it was extremely helpful.

It would still slow down. The blackbody radiation output by the wheel would cool it down, and in the same way, all the electrons the wheel is made out of will radiate energy as they are spun. (Spinning charges are constantly accelerated by centripetal force, and accelerated charges radiate.) So no, 2nd law of thermodynamics means you can't even keep pace, you are always losing energy. So how can these scientists claim to have invented perpetual motion?

If it's the former you rarely actually need everyone present and it's unlikely every department will be needed at once unless the whole company is failing and even then people can work remotely for those too.

Google has 130,000 employees. I've got ~10 reports and not all of them are coming back to in-person work. If 10% of the company doesn't want to get vaccinated, there is a reasonable chance that none of those people end up on my team.

The point is that the presence of unvaccinated people is going to cause stress and problems for other people who are less productive and happy at home and want to return to the office but feel unsafe doing so knowing that they would be sharing space with unvaccinated people.

The court could ask an independent without inside knowledge of the case to read his reports and check whether or not they can identify a protected person as a result.

It's true that the judge can't publicly state "Look, the third sentence in paragraph four at this URL gives the victim's initials, a week later in paragraph seven he said the complainant worked in such-and-such government agency, and here he tweeted that it was the individual's 47th birthday. There is only one person who fits these fingerprints, and their identity is obvious to anyone with a passing familiarity of that individual." That would invite everyone else to go read paragraph four, paragraph seven, and the tweet, and to search out this secret. Or more likely, that the individual is named directly and repeatedly in the post, and Craig named them because their name and their involvement is on public documents, but that they've decided that he's not allowed to name them.

But you'd expect them to explain that reasoning behind closed doors, and then to more publicly deny his rebuttal, unless there is no such individual.

> I wish we as a culture/society, acknowledged the luck and timing factor more as a factor in career development.

I've been mentoring young people and college students on and off for years. The influence of luck on their success is a constant topic. Definitely not ignored.

If anything, they tend to overestimate the role of luck and external factors in career development. Each year it seems like I talk to more students who have been convinced that success can only be the result of pure chance. I watch a lot of them lose motivation because they think they need luck and nepotism and connections and wealthy parents to be successful.

For example: All of them have heard the phrase "It's not what you know, it's who you know." Some of them take it so literally that they lose motivation to learn things, instead assuming that their career success is going to come down to whoever their parents or friends can introduce them to. This leads to a lot of frustration come internship time when they see a couple of their less-knowledgeable friends land great internships at their parents' or friends' parents' companies.

I feel like I spend a lot of time convincing some of these students that they do, indeed, have a lot of influence over their career trajectory. Their outlooks tend to change quickly when they arrive at a job and realize that what they know really does matter a lot more than who their parents are when it comes to getting anything done. I also have to emphasize that "who you know" isn't some fixed quantity, and that they will meet a lot of people in their career. The more they deliver good results, the better the impression they leave on the "who you know" and the more valuable their reputation becomes. You're never going to expand your network without putting yourself out there.

It's tough to compete with the constant onslaught of cynicism they consume on TikTok, Reddit, and other websites every single day, though.
> Why do you think it was a fad that died out 10 years ago?

Because the last time I heard anyone in my circle of friends (which includes people who work at Facebook, Apple, Google, Yahoo, Spotify, etc) mention scrum was more than a decade ago.

basic functionality up tomorrow night."

Where that's happening, in the movie, well before Zuck starts working on "The Facebook". Without any other context that perhaps it wasn't Zuck's first exposure to that kind of idea.

I'd like to point out how nutty it is that this is happening all over the world now. I first experienced this in 2017 in Dallas, TX - now it's everywhere.

One thing I worked very consciously with my financial planner about was this sentiment that:

- My job does not facilitate staying in a place long enough to make owning a home a worthwhile investment

- I will probably never own a home because there are enough people that have a lot more liquidity than I do

We have now setup an investment strategy that has become more stable and effective than owning a home. Point being, this is a FP's bread and butter - engage them!

The chat started off as a Telegram chat for some of us working on the Rust VST crate, but as we started discussing wider Rust audio topics, we found that the lack of "topics"/channels/whatever wasn't great. For better or worse, we chose Discord to migrate to, and it solved the channels issue for us.

Migrating a community like this is a tough call in the first place; there's always going to be some people that don't want to use or install yet another chat app. Our goal was to fragment the community as little as possible, and a fair amount of people at the time already used Discord for other stuff. So, Discord it was.

I think if we were migrating today I'd push harder to move to something open (probably Matrix?), but as of right now Discord has been a decent enough platform.

The stable-to-strong-decay species they're talking about, bb anti-u anti-d, would have a charge of (-1 -1 -2 -1)/3 = -5/3 times the electron charge.

On a perfect team, where everyone is great at time management, honest about productivity, has superb communication skills, and is enthusiastic/loves their tasks, yes, scrum is dumb. For but for the rest of us, the scrum master handles all the unpleasant organizational crap for the team, and thank god for them.
If the person is working remotely they have a much larger market to look for. If every white collar/knowledge worker suddenly got all the office budget and went to work from home you'd see big shocks but it could be spread throughout the country not just in cities. Of course there'd be a huge new market opportunity for turning the suddenly empty office buildings into apartments or something too.

But now, google has decided for me, I shall no longer ever be able to factory reset this phone or even remove my google account from it, for my own good.

I'm really getting sick and tired of this catchall phrase 'security' being used as an excuse for consumer hostile practices and tactics.

It's bullshit, the people at google marketing know it's bullshit, the engineers know it's bullshit. It's bullshit.
Great question! We're early, but so far, we're adding pros mostly through referrals and cold calls.

Our pitch is rather than charge for leads, we directly give our pros jobs, and deal with all customer acquisition, customer service and payment. That means they can spend 0% of their time on sales & job scoping, and only need to accept the jobs when they can fit them into their schedule. So far it seems to be resonating, but it's early.

> I wish we as a culture/society, acknowledged the luck and timing factor more as a factor in career development.

I would argue that this would be too cruel for the "unwashed masses" to digest/fathom. The myth of meritocratic rise in a capitalistic system rests on the fundamental premise that luck plays little to no role in one's success. That is why you often hear bunkum like "the harder I work luckier I become" and others in desperate attempts to trivialize externalities. The very fact you you won/or didn't win the genetic lottery (born to rich/high IQ/hard working parents) could be a big strike in favor/against you. Furthermore, there is also ample anecdotal/research evidence to show that people who think that they are self made or downplay the role of luck in their success also tend to be more selfish and more uncaring for the less fortunate. I don't exactly recall who said this (most likely a leader from some socialist country a while back) that: since majority of life's success (wealth/riches) is mostly due to luck it can't be morally wrong/unjustifiable to take some of that away through high taxation.
Worthy startup idea!
I'm thoroughly f**ed if I have to figure out how to do security better than Microsoft + a long password generated by my password manager + 2FA.
I don't believe that's historically accurate at all. x86 compiler performance has been good enough for a long, long time. Yes, newer versions are clearly a lot better than ones from the mid 90s, but the performance improvements would be described in terms of percentages, not orders of magnitude.

IA-64 required a complete rethinking of compiler design to solve NP-hard problems on a large scale just to get passable performance. Translating C to ASM that keeps execution units busy is radically different on IA-64 than pretty much anything else.
>If you'd asked people two years ago what they thought about the idea of locking the whole country down indefinitely for a virus with a 99% survival rate (and over 99.9% for people under 50), the vast majority would have said it's a crazy idea.

>Calling getting vaccines and wearing masks indoors "locking the whole country down indefinitely" is definitely hyperbolic.

You can say that not everything is still locked down (some stuff still is), but don't pretend like 6 months ago you would have been against the lockdowns that actually happened.

Of course I disagree. Your decission puts other people health at risk for no benefit to you or anyone else.

My desire is not control just education of people so they can avoid stupid decisions like the one you made.

Somebody framed vaccine as a freedom issue and you happily agreed to accept this framework and internalize it.

For me freedom of not taking a vaccine is same as freedom to avoid drinking unsweetened, unflavored water. I mean, sure, you can, but why in the world would you want to? The only result is increasing probability of harm for you, your loved ones and possibly other people.

And even if you want it, why would you put it on your freedom banner? Why not something less harmful? Like freedom to avoid eating meat?
