What you wrote is really interesting. I too was in a software group at a "hardcore" engineering institution for a while and took just a bit of that rigor with me throughout my career - and have often been seen as the "quality" guy because of it.

> It's also why I think that today's engineering culture of "24 months, max" at corporations is pretty corrosive to Quality.

This is something I think a lot about. The problem is this is the incentive gradient that is an emergent effect. Obviously, if it was generally in organizations' interest to retain people, there would be some kind of incentive sink to keep them there (i.e., everyone would stop finding more competitive compensation at other companies).
Not sure how that would work out. Contributing $30,000 per year to a fund that averages 8% per year for 20 years only gets you $1.4 million. If he lives to 80, this is only $35,000 per year, which will be next to nothing eventually due to inflation. If he left it in the market and drew 5% per year, he could get $70,000 per year, but that becomes extremely risky as you would have to draw during market downturns, which would quickly deplete the account.

The problem with early retirement is how many years you still have left. It requires far more than a normal retirement. Everyone has their own standard of what is acceptable, but IMO a comfortable retirement at 40 requires somewhere in the neighborhood of $5 million. You could do with less if you want to eat ramen noodles for the next 40 years because you can’t really afford to enjoy retirement.
Those institutions—some significantly more than others—sold out their credibility without the aid of any organized conspiracy. What the misinformation actors do do is to smear that mistrust on the good-faith actors.
I have this same problem. I’ve tried fish and zsh but all my scripts are in bash and over the years I’ve honed an environment I can just git clone to any Linux machine and it works
Back in the 80’s I worked at a company that sold and installed pen plotters (both desktop and large format) along with the CAD software and workstations to run them.

It was always a PITA to attach them because they always used RS232 serial ports and each vendor used a different arrangement of pins. You usually had to customize each connector, removing pins and soldering others together.

Still they were lots of fun to watch. People who weren’t even in the market for them loved to watch them work. It was like watching a little critter run around frantically on the page drawing an image. With each little stroke the image grew. It was a very relatable process. It kind of reminds me of watching a Roomba clean a room.
> I think the general aversion to OSS is more that there is no responsible actor.

Unless the OSS in question has an enterprise support subscription that is useful, the best responsible actor for OSS projects is all (or a subset of) your employees. They know your workload best and know the issues that affect you most and can learn the skills needed to improve the OSS that you use. Having a diverse set of companies contributing to an OSS project makes it suitable for a more diverse set of use cases and circumstances.
Highly disagree if you start investing young and slowly have your portfolio get more and more risk averse over time you should be able to keep majority of your wealth if not grow it depending on your tolerance to risk and when you start withdrawing from your account.

> General inflation

Average market growth is higher than the average inflation per year. I trust that investing in the market and holding a percent of your portfolio in Treasury bonds will give you a very good chance of growing or maintaining your savings against inflation and market variance.
Nice! Hadn't heard of it, will check it out.
You cited an online survey that people began completing on January 6. Here are the results of a survey that was conducted between June 7 and 23:

https://www.prri.org/research/religious-vaccines-covid-vacci...

"Americans of all levels of formal education are similarly more likely to be vaccine acceptant now than they were in March. Americans with high school degrees or less have shifted most (61%, up from 45%), though movement is relatively similar across other groups: Americans with some college experience but no degrees have increased to 70%, from 56% vaccine acceptant in March; Americans with four-year degrees have increased to 80%, from 70% in March; and Americans with postgraduate degrees have increased to 92%, from 79% in March."
Well, that’s the entire point of a dog whistle. They’re intentionally vague enough to encourage listeners to draw their own conclusions.

They’re not hard to identify if you understand the viewpoints of the listeners or even just observe their reactions. If two groups like a statement, but they both thought it meant a different thing, that’s probably a dog whistle.

Take for instance:

“Vote for kube-system, he’s one of us. He thinks congress should do what’s right for Americans and their families; end the dishonesty in Washington, and protect the rights and values you deserve.”

What demographic am I talking to? Who are the dishonest politicians? What rights and values? Could be anyone!
> You'd get rid of a working solution because of an implementation decision?

Yes, because the implementation decision has implications for both performance and UX. I’ve used 1Password since version 3 (2013!) and gotten friends and family to do the same, but I think I’m done when 7 stops working.
They are still problems that need fixing, some day someone may be doing work on the project without knowing what to work on and having a backlog of issues categorised by importance/etc will be useful in that situation.

Given what I would consider the eternal preciousness of a human, and the fleeting insignificance of computer software, I found it strange he opened with "I am a developer for Drupal." For example, why did he place that before his being a father?

Maybe he just knew the audience that he was speaking to. After all, if it wasn't for that he probably wouldn't be linked here.

No need to overanalyze.
> He was in a medicare-accepting full time care facility which was extremely dirty, smelly, and full of workers who honestly didn't give a fuck, and they expressed this in many overt and subtle ways. The only comfort he got was from his family who visited every day to speak and read to him.

This is a very uncomfortable reality about our care system and the way our society is structured in general. Nobody deserves this kind of treatment, but we also don't really have the lattitude in our lives to spend time caring for our family. Also this kind of care is commoditized by our insurance system where paying for these kinds of systems is more supported than assisted care in-home.

I'm hoping that as a result of COVID with people finding more lattitude to work flexibly from home and more people focussing on their families that more people can avoid this kind of end-of-life care.
Why do you think being a father is anymore of an achievement?
Arguably, the phenomenon of “fake news” was caused by teaching media literacy that only could identify bias and fake stories in respectable mainstream publications. The tools as taught were not designed to handle blatantly absurd claims.
LOL. Without revealing any further, I'm not at M ;)
"Theory"

DevOps: Make the developers work with infrastructure better, deploy faster, have less errors!

SRE: Make the products more reliable, get failures down to the minimum, have less toil!

Platform: Be more efficient by standardizing technology across a large organization!

"Reality"

DevOps: A sysadmin that writes Terraform

SRE: A sysadmin that writes Terraform and knows when the site goes down and if it's important

Platform: A couple of sysadmins forcing everyone to use one set of technology in one way without ever talking to anyone about what to build or how to use it
oh, you are right. only the keyboard doesn't work.
It's a cool project. I'm just curious, because I haven't bumped into anyone else who's dabbled with the CQT before.

So in what way is it variable Q? I thought the innovation of CQT over a regular FFT is that the bins represent each note step with the same 'Q', making notes more distinguishable? (whereas a FFT has more 'Q' in the high frequencies)

I think having an autocorrelation option on the visualization could be cool, as it could reduce the spikes from the overtones (and also show a missing fundamental). But I think you'd need a different convolution for each instrument.
I think your description seems pretty spot on. But the way I see the term being used sometimes, it seems some people take it as some sort of shame-but-actually-pride badge (the connotation being that if you have the syndrome, then you're secretly not an impostor, hence a "humble brag")

IMHO, you could leverage that uncomfortable feeling positively (e.g. seeking the right people to help you, etc as you said), negatively (e.g. give up) or in a beside-the-point way (bragging about the cup being half-full). None of this has really anything to do with acting maliciously/destructively like the article seems to suggest, though.
Aren't the ballots all counted by hand and then cross checked with the machines anyways? That's what I don't get about all this
> treating death as a problem to solve

I think that's a poor framing. Yes, cure diseases, absolutely, but mortality is intrinsic to humanity.
Suffering is a problem to solve. How we should live, knowing that we will most assuredly die is a problem to solve.

Treating death as a problem to solve I think is a conceit and ultimately a fools errand.
I'm registered to vote in Michigan. I live in Mexico. Michigan's web site for requesting absentee ballots blocks connections from Mexico. I checked with various vpn endpoints, they seem to be blocking the poorer countries like Ukraine, Poland, Mexico, while passing the richer ones like UK, Germany, Canada.
Certainly for me it's been good enough, I use it daily and haven't run into any issues.

I know people mention there are issues with some Unicode characters. Somehow I've never hit those issues, so I'm happy.
> I’m surprised there aren’t more “metaverse for crypto” initiatives

There's a few projects working in this space, but individual components. The NFT space will converge onto what I believe will be the winning metaverse vision. Participants own the IP, the land, the characters, the tools, the weapons, etc.
Netflix should worry about buying good movies.

I had Netflix for a few months, and there is a formula.

Throw a lot of money to writers, directors, and stars.

Writers use every trick in their box to put out a D+ movie.

Ditto for directors.

Actors just jawbone what's written.

Netflix should be glad anyone wants to watch their garbage.

Sounds harsh? I found most movies an insult. And try looking up Award Winning films--in emglish.
>. It amazes me how few services ever take into consideration that people don't always live and work in their country of origin

I'm pretty sure they would take it into consideration, it's just that licensing of IP is a really tricky business. It's not a technical or business issue, it's a legal issue because bypassing geo-restrictions with a VPN is probably violating the terms of service of most content producers.

In the entire UAE IIRC only licensed telecommunications providers can produce telecom. services, and that's why Whatsapp can't offer call
This reminds us of our mortality. Live life to the fullest, do what makes you happy.

That seems overly dismissive. NZ could have been run by a bunch of jackasses like so many other states/nations have been who did nothing but politicize and posture. Sure its an advantage to be on an island but it's one which is easily squandered through negligence - and it wasn't.

I'd say the biggest advantage we had was being too small for Fox News to broadcast here
Impostor syndrome is a meme. A huge number of people feel like impostors because they actually do suck at their jobs.
This used to be harder -- you would set the lambda up for the go language runtime, but send your own statically linked binary with a special name instead of a compiled go artifact. But now AWS offers Custom Runtimes[0]. So you can set up the infra using some convenient tool such as AWS CloudFormation templates, terraform, or ansible, and then deploy your custom runtime c/c++ build from there (again, using ansible or AWS CLI or whatever). If you're using rust, there are now ways to make that work, including plugins for the popular "serverless" (sls) framework to deploy rust builds[1]

About to execute this right now and I see some interesting numbers being thrown around for the NPV of my pension.

The numbers you are seeing are really the top of the iceberg; my actual take home as a retired E7 is likely to be about twice what the pay numbers would tell you due to VA disability.

So after a take home of around $72k/year and essentially free medical for my family for life, as well as my children’s college paid for (my degree was paid while on AD so they get my GI Bill), we still need to factor in Space A flights, tax free shopping, cheaper gas, gym access, beach accesses, cheaper groceries, etc. etc.

The most recent numbers I saw were something north of 2 million for anyone E6+ who gets 100% VA disability, which is pretty common.

That said, I rarely recommend the career to people. The costs incurred really aren’t worth it unless you get the equivalent of a lottery ticket.

This article handwaves over data getting from a chip to a datacenter. That's not a thing without software brokering it.

This is certainly a thing, but it's not controlled by chipmakers, it's controlled by whoever writes the software/drivers. For example, on iPhones you can look at the analytics data being sent to Apple, and you'll see it includes chip-level information like performance counters, which they presumably use to optimize things in future chips. Chips don't go off connecting to network servers by themselves (and if someone designs a chip that does, you'd have to be insane to choose it when you design a product).

Of course, I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if e.g. the Qualcomm closed-source middleware that ships with many phones had features along these lines. One can hope phone manufacturers audit this stuff, but who knows...
Apple is not a monopoly, not even close. Anti-Trust against apple is a joke.
How so? This is actually a really interesting take—either be the “papers please” people or don’t be.
My uninformed eyeballing of the study linked in this thread is that Moderna might not need a booster, or at least not on the same interval as Pfizer.

The graph of Moderna cases in the linked paper looks roughly proportional to the unvaccinated cases to me, which suggests there was little to no reduction in effectiveness over that time period. In contrast, the Pfizer cases look to be growing more quickly than the unvaccinated cases, indicating a reduction in effectiveness over time.
> Err, we have a media which is in a symbiotic relationship with the government.

> I would not consider this free.

Some journalists will always trade independence for access. However, I'm not aware of any evidence to indicate that Australian media has been captured by the government. But frankly, you've made a pretty nebulous accusation, followed up by a conclusion that doesn't necessary follow from the premise.

I'd invite you to study the recent happenings in Poland and Hungary to see what a non-free media landscape looks like.

> There are few genuine journalists out there looking for the truth and they have little impact on the masses.

We have a robust media that regularly holds the government to account. The main public broadcaster, in particular, puts out hard hitting journalism with broad reach.

So I don't know what this 'truth' is that you think 'they' are concealing from the 'masses'.

> The one that did (Assange) has a trial going on as I type this.

You make this sound like Assange was arrested for reporting he did on Australia. Wikileaks never made any major disclosures about Australia.

Lucas seems like the well-spring of ideas here. He goes on long rambles, almost free-associating, and then Kasdan or Spielberg will have a one sentence reply. And then another rant. It's like they're providing minor course corrections while he generates ideas and ideas and ideas...

Anyone familiar with writing rooms or the like, is this asymmetrical pattern common?
I'm with you on your core point, but in a way, it's orthogonal: Death will continue to be an inevitability, and can arrive at any time - even after we solve senescence. (Accidents, murder etc)
This benefit can’t be understated: missing or buggy authorization checks are present in almost all real-world web apps and APIs I’ve encountered. A long random component (such as the 80 bits provided by ULIDs) covers up a lot of sins.

A ULID is 48 bits of timestamp plus 80 bits of entropy. These new formats just don’t have enough random-component entropy. 64 bits isn’t enough. Who cares in your millisecond timestamp wraps every 8900 years as they do in a ULID?

Compared to other social media sites, maybe because if there is flashpoint, everyone on the site can get funneled towards it? On Facebook or Twitter you wouldn't find everyone commenting on the same "thread".

Does reddit do post mortems? If it did then we might have a clue.
I work on the genetics and genomics of Cryptococcus, and actually it can often be quite tricky to treat as common azoles (most likely what your dad was treated with) are often ineffective (they tend to be fungistatic instead of fungicidal). Had the azoles not worked they would likely have moved on to using Amphotericin B which is a pretty nasty drug, though much more effective on Crypto. Systemic fungal infection in general are pretty difficult to deal with because fungal cell biology and physiology is not all that dissimilar to ours (on the grand scale of things).
Also whataboutism.
Living outside of the US this leads to me to scream my least favorite expression in the whole world: "Let me give you money!"
My approach to death is this: I am an insignificant drop, and will eventually merge into an ocean of molecules, to be rearranged into other drops.

In that sense, there is nothing to fear, nothing to solve. If the manner in which one is dying is painful, then I should have a means of getting to a quick end.
Theoretically. I don't know a single person that uses it.
A lot of words can seem tortured if we try to make them work in some way they just don't.

People don't usually say they will invest in something that will imminently be used up. It can be food, but only if you're going to hold onto it for a while, e.g. disaster prep. They do say things like "I decided to invest in a new suit." There is a rule here though I'm not sure what it is. Perhaps the etymology[1] is helpful (but also perhaps not and it's just misleading).

Anyway, this usage isn't necessarily rendered invalid because some domain has a more specific and contradictory definition, much as botanical fruits don't make tomatoes any less of a vegetable in the kitchen.

I read the studies back in March 2020. There was pretty evidence from:

* Studies on the spread of flu virus

* Case studies of COVID in Asia.

We know a little more today, but not a lot more. We have replicated the flu results with COVID19.

I didn't hear anything in that interview which felt out-of-bounds for normal discourse. It certainly was a step higher than discourse I hear from liberals all the time in my community, and discourse I hear from other conservatives.

I disagreed with a lot of what he said, but it didn't deserve to be censored. It was intelligent, reasoned, and I just happen to have a different opinion.
Where they going out of business before offering stand alone licenses? If no, this is a money grab.
Heads up.

I just tried to do this after comparing the features that I use and what I'm paying 1p vs. the bw rate.

There seems to be no export mechanism from web access.

I tried installing the (Linux) desktop client, which exports to a different file format from the one, single 1p format listed as supported by bw.

Bw did not like it.

I also could not get it to digest the json-like data in the alternative paste import box.

Requiring proof of immunization, no less, which requires an ID to receive... but there is very little pushback against that requirement and the majority want to eagerly enforce this requirement.

I'll have to wait till the next election cycle to see how this is tortured. You need a proof of immunization [for work, for benefits, etc.,] but you don't need an ID to vote because... asking for IDs disenfranchises. but denying people work is not disenfranchisement.
