> I’m sick and tired of people saying “the science is settled” or “trust the science”.

You’re right, but also, there’s more to it.

There is a difference between what people say and what people mean and context is important. When I’ve heard people say “trust the science” it is always directed to people who have demonstrated that they do not understand the scientific method and the meaning of the word “healthy skepticism”. In that case what you are doing is an appeal to authority, which is completely unscientific, and necessary for building consensus.

So when we hear “trust the science”, it’s really a political statement more than anything, and it intends to replace a person in a robe, or a person in a uniform with a person in a lab coat.

Certainly it would be better to have an informed and well educated citizenry. But for people who live in the real world and do not want to have their society steered by people who have incompatible views with a modern society, saying “trust the science” is a shorthand for “we don’t think you have what it takes to contribute to a conversation in a meaningful way.”
One show that does creative competition right is the glass-blowing competition "Blown Away" on Netflix. Interesting characters, fascinating and demanding medium, good affirmative vibe while allowing for honest criticism. My daughter rewatches the episode from both existing seasons frequently and enjoys the personalities.
6th gen fighter designs are trending towards significantly larger aircraft. The amount of hardware a human needs for support is relatively fixed so as aircraft size increases, ditching the pilot becomes less and less beneficial. Most fighters are also not limited by human G endurance but rather by structural limits.

Fighters are growing in size because engagement distances have massively increased thanks to the proliferation of high quality sensors and long range missiles. This ultimately means that the fighters need to have more range (fuel capacity), more powerful (bigger) sensors, more electrical generation capacity to power those sensors, and they need carry more and larger munitions.

For an aircraft that meets those requirements you can take the pilot out and you won't see many benefits. It's still going to be large and very expensive.

Smaller, cheaper drones can supplement this but they are not a replacement.
Both what you and GP said can be true simultaneously, and in my opinion is.

New info from the Buzzfeed article:

> “I can see why it is tempting to think that I had something to do with creating the data in a fraudulent way,” [Ariely] told BuzzFeed News. “I can see why it would be tempting to jump to that conclusion, but I didn’t.” He added, “If I knew that the data was fraudulent, I would have never posted it.” [..] he said that all his contacts at the insurer had left and that none of them remembered what happened, either. [..] Asked by BuzzFeed News when the experiment was conducted by the insurance company, he first replied, “I don’t remember if it was 2010 or ’11. One of those things.” [..] But Ariely discussed the study’s results in a July 2008 lecture at Google [..] did not have any emails from that time to review.

Another quote from an article in The Economist (https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2021/08/20/a-study-...):

> Mr Ariely has requested that the study be retracted, as have some of his co-authors. And he is steadfast that his mistake was honest. “I did not fabricate the data,” he insists. “I am willing to do a lie detection test on that.”
Comparisons of read/write ratios has to account for several differences in design and implementation. Representative benchmarks are difficult.

Things that can make a difference: Databases have subtly different definitions of "durability", so they aren't always doing semantically equivalent operations. Write throughput sometimes scales with the number of clients and it is not possible to saturate the server with a single client due to limitations of the client protocol, so single client benchmarks are misleading. Some databases allow read and write operations to be pipelined; in these implementations it is possible for write performance to sometimes exceed read performance.

For open source databases in particular, read and write throughput is significantly throttled by poor storage engine performance, so the ratio of read/write performance is almost arbitrary. That 3:1 ratio isn't a good heuristic because the absolute values in these cases could be much higher. A more optimal design would offer integer factor throughput improvements for both reading and writing, but it is difficult to estimate what the ratio "should" be on a given server absent a database engine that can really drive the hardware.
I will use myself as an example: I have Hashimoto disease, and even treated my metabolism can get so slow that I need to eat so little that I start to have nutrient deficits, for example one of the past dieting attempts resulted in hair loss, brittle nails, cracking skin, because I needed so little calories that when I consumed exactly what I needed, I ended with a protein deficit.

Only solution I found that worked was go for pure weightlifting, literally train as if I was aiming to he an Olympic champion, and even then I still ended overweight (I am 1.75m tall, smallest weight I managed, that was then I was training heavily and had a diet that was almost 100% protein, was 98kg)
Is it thought terminating, though? "X considered harmful" seems more intended to spark discussion in an intentionally inflammatory way than to stifle it.

1800K is still 1.6Kc so that isn’t realistic for intake temperature either.

At Mach3 the SR-71 airframe got to just under 500c at the hotspots.

The reentry temperature of the space shuttle peaked at around 1600c.

1.6-1.7K is the temperature of modern afterburners so if 1800c/k is a figure of anything it would be that.

That said the turbine entry temperature for modern jet engines is about 800c so maybe the 1 was a typo.
Ramsey is also a lot more abusive in the shows produced in the US, compared to the UK ones. The man is acting for a specific audience.
It was two courses actually, the first was taught out of https://www.cs.cornell.edu/courses/cs3110/2019sp/textbook/ and the professors personal notes on the history of programming language design, and the second was taught primarily out of Andrew Appel’s tiger book with some content from the dragon book

Is there any evidence to suggest that people who rise to greatness in abusive environments would not have risen to greatness in an environment that isn’t abusive?
Very well written and I find it hard to disagree.
It does now. The discussion isn’t about Microsoft in the present time, it is about Microsoft in the time when they lost their anti-trust lawsuit.
That is exactly... abuse. Abusive bosses can be nice to their kids. Abusive bosses can be nice to their employees. Abusive bosses can even be nice to "idiot sandwiches." What makes an abusive boss is how they are at their worst: a professional boss will act with composure, either trying to help the worker become better or firing them professionally if they need to go.
This doesn't sound right.

Who uses reality tv as a model of how they should act at work?

I like watching truck modding shows where it's just a guy bolting on upgrades and whatever.

But that's not entertaining enough, so the reality tv version is a car shop where the owner has to come out and act like a chimp, yell and throw wrenches and shit because the parts haven't arrived yet or a repair is behind schedule.
It is interesting to try to predict the next US failure. It might be Ukraine or if another former soviet republic joins the russian federation.

But more likely it will be the inability of US capitalism to adapt to a remote world. Too much money invested in real estate and tied to bringing immigrants to the US. Too hard to milk cheap countries when workers aren't tied to US soil. I think US companies highly underestimate the impact of remote work, and that the rest of the world is, by necessity, already more adapted to it.

Another will be the inability of US to create new culture. Hollywood is already stagnated since 15 years ago. Internet culture is too juvenile and hysterical to matter.

As for the dollar, it will find real competition when the US bans cryptocoins. With the speculation and winner-picking out of the way, there is already a number of countries that can build their economies around it despite of (and to spite) the US (iran/russia venezuela et al)
The only part of this that doesn't make sense is that you'd ever get in your car again. If the car took itself to the mechanic and to the detailer's shop every day where someone else cleaned it, and you just cashed checks, why wouldn't you do that?
Agreed. One friend of mine, who makes plenty, decided to go job searching because raises this year for that company maxed out at 10%. It might sound petty in normal times, but costs for a lot of people have gone up by a lot more than 10% in the last year.

My rent alone went up something like 20%. Look at gas. Or wood. Or food. It's like watching money slowly disappear. Here's hoping it really is transitory.
I wonder if this is related to the low pay. I'm a part time working musician (as in, don't quit your day job). I've noticed that how the musicians are treated by both bandleaders and venues is roughly proportional to how much we're getting paid.

But I've also noticed that the abusive environment that we've heard about at the top of the business, doesn't necessarily trickle down to the lower echelons. At the level of work that I typically get called for, bandleaders who abuse their players get weeded out very quickly.
I guess it depends on your definition of an IDE, and where you're most comfortable/productive. I see a lot of posts about autocomplete, refactoring, linting, tooltips, tests-by-cursor/file, snippets. Thanks to a very friendly plugin community, you can get all of these in vim, emacs etc. I like vim, and it has nothing to do with hubris.

For me it's mostly about:

1. proximity to the terminal: I find cli tools very useful for most of my daily tasks. Using an editor puts the terminal first, and my editor second. One-off tasks are a tmux split/tab/session away and everything is neatly organized.

2. consistent interface: Working with a terminal is neat because everything is text and it is composable.
Working in vim, all menus are just buffers - you can navigate them the same way as you would your code. Searching, navigation, jumping between windows/menus, filtering -- everything stays consistent.

3. quick n' dirty workflows: If I identify a task-specific workflow I want to improve in vim, it is pretty easy to drop in functions and/or keybindings to do what I want. The interface was built in a way that makes this easy. Writing a plugin for visualstudio, or jetbrains etc. requires knowing a lot more about the editor you're working in and how it's built. Maybe it just feels that way to me.

4. 0% adjustment when working over SSH: tabs, splits, etc. both in my editor and terminal are identical in an SSH session. No discomfort. Mostly useful at home.

5. low distraction: This one's personal. IDEs are intimidating, hundreds of buttons, menus, logs prompts all fighting for your attention. If I click through a deeply nested menu I often forget what I'm doing - especially if there is a fire. Functions and Muscle memory works for me. It clearly does not work for everyone.
Yes, the Gordon Ramsay you see on TV is definitely a made-for-TV character.
The unemployment benefits were better than what a lot of service workers were getting paid and so people didn’t want to return. Meanwhile economy was reopening and employers needed workers- the same people who laid them off. Forced unemployment means the inertia is broken. That and the clarity to rethink a clear career path definitely affected more than quite a few

Then there’s remote/wfh workers. With more companies adopting wfh and some high profile companies not wanting to adopt it, the right incentives are created to job hop. The vacancies created have to be filled and the spiral starts.

In both these instances, breaking the inertia is enough to disrupt this fragile balance that companies were exploiting to keep wages and salaries down. When the line breaks (a few companies caving), the entire defence that “this is what market pays” comes crumbling down.
It's great indeed, really enjoyed it. Turns out you can make a fascinating show about a creative process without people calling each other dickheads every minute, and without what I call "American" editing where there's dramatic music and camera zooms for every mundane action on the screen.
Mostly agree. Failure is also not binary. We could fail a lot harder and it would hurt a lot more!
I understand that - they are doing a script - no health check problems on other components -> go to mainboard. I don't fault them for that.

That said, I've never had a problem just saying things like sounds great, I'd love to pay for and try replacing battery first. Done.

Next time I go in I might try this as an experiment actually. Just ask, could I get a battery replacement

Yep, strongly agree with this take. All of the yelling and aggression is an act for US television if you watch other programs he's been in.

Another thing based on UK Kitchen Nightmares is you really only see the hostile side come out when he's put into a situation where the other person is hostile. If the person genuinely wants to learn and try to save their business, he's nothing but helpful. There are episodes of the UK show where they're basically just wholesome all around.

"Best" is a marketing term. How do you mean it as it applies to software quality or productivity?

I'm trying to understand if you're serious, since the author (who notes "I myself use IntelliJ, CLion and MySQL workbench almost everyday") doesn't even seem to believe what he's writing.
At this point FSD is just a marketing term for Tesla right? They don’t have a working FSD system yet.
Guideline from the 70s on how to split your React components
> C. Every is classified as an employee and drivers loose all flexibility or most flexibility. No more working for multiple app, no more infinite flex time. As a employee you would be exclusive to one app and have a set shift and section

This would be a choice the ride-sharing companies would be making, not a logical necessity. They could pay drivers a minimum wage to be on-call for whatever time-period was agreed upon between the company and the driver, and neither demand exclusivity outside of those periods, nor demand a minimum number of hours per week be worked. You can have more than one job without being a contractor.

e.g.

The driver says "I want to work from 3PM to 5PM today."

The app says "LOL, no, too many drivers today, try again tomorrow" or "How about 2PM to 4PM instead" or "Perfect, you're booked."

The app could also solicit drivers for shifts well ahead of time within a baseline of predicted demand, guarantee that drivers be offered X hours of shifts sometime between A o'clock and B o'clock a week ahead of time, and/or demand that drivers take at least Y hours of shifts (between the hours of A o'clock and B o'clock) if they want to continue to be offered X hours of shifts.

If they were really forward-thinking, the rideshare companies could work on making their benefits compatible with each other; maybe have them managed by an employee union.
These are older so I guess that is why.

And no, no problem with me. I just pointed out one reason why people might prefer a female name for a project.

Another valid reason might be because they want to bring some women into the spotlight in what is ofte perceived as a male dominated field.
I didn't find the solutions to be all that helpful; it was essentially "pipeline your processing." If all I'm doing is a programmatic "cat | grep | cut", that's fine. It gets messy when I want to sort the data or join it with another medium-large dataset, and this is why people load into memory in the first place. Is there a sane path where I'm not immediately jumping to Hadoop or Presto? Maybe I can offload the join to SQLite?
As a teen I spent many hours making games in Klik and Play and mods for Id Software games. Roblox and Minecraft both enable kids to craft experiences for and with friends. I think Roblox's market, messaging, and cut set it apart. If it didn't sell the dream of making money and maintain such a high bar to get money out and get discovered then it wouldn't be so exploitive.

I don't feel exploited by my time with other game toolkits because the expectations and outcomes were clearer.
>and misinformation preys on individuals who only vaguely care.

Well, that's the real problem. People willing to act based on incomplete information they couldn't be bothered to research independently. As long as we have that, it all comes down to who can manipulate them better towards the desired decision (using labels like "misinformation" as one of the tactics), rather than what decision has better long-term perspectives.

Pakistan built their own uranium centrifuge plant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdul_Qadeer_Khan. What that page doesn't mention, is that Khan simply copied the plan of the Urenco plant (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urenco_Group#Abdul_Qadeer_Khan).
I believe this is now generally regarded as a misconception, since there are records of the workers being paid. However it can be difficult to tease out the true nature of this work in the historic context, since the way such workers would be paid at the time would likely look like slavery in the modern context (e.g. being paid in grain.) There is also the orthogonal matter of paid/unpaid work, vs forced/unforced work; somebody who is forced to work but is also paid may still be considered a slave.
OT/ I hardly ever see “fringe OS’s” port Linux drivers, but a lot of them do port drivers from NetBSD. I wonder why?
Remember the Kzinti lesson. Anything with sufficient velocity is a weapon. Thousands of Starlink satellites is functionally equivalent to a mothballed Brilliant Pebbles fleet. Now to be fair their response time will not be ideal due to the thrusters not being optimised for rapid orbit changes. But it’s definitely a software update away from being a poor mans Brilliant Pebbles, more than capable enough to threaten anyone staying in LEO (they probably couldn’t respond fast enough to nail down a direct ascent rocket aimed at LEO or something flying right through LEO altitude on its way to say the moon.)

> Not once did I encounter an employee who regularly interacted with another outside of work related functions.

No offense to you but statistically 40% of people have dated a coworker at least once and people hold on average 12 jobs in their life so if you interacted with 1000 persons there is a good chance that at least 30 of them were definitely interacting with a coworker outside of work related function.
Climate science isn't falsifiable though. We cannot go back to the year 1600 and rerun the last 400 years without human industrial activity but keeping everything else the same and observe how the climate differs.
To me Mac OS has a nicer looking UI, but i3 has better UX. For instance, the animations on Mac OS are annyoing. There is nothing good about adding a delay to basic operations. On i3, I can switch between workspaces in an instant, on Mac OS, I have to wait for a stupid 200ms animation to finish - and that is after already fiddling in system settings to disable fancy animation effects (the default was slide-in, ugh).

It also depends on the language. I don't think I'd consider working in a .NET project with an IDE, but it's overkill for Ruby or Javascript projects.
I might as well repeat it. Now is a great time to be looking for a new job.

I'm a quant trader, so I've got a foot in tech and a foot in finance. Both are heaving at the moment, recruiters calling all the time, salaries much higher than just a few months ago.

I'm not sure what it looks like at the entry level end, but for experienced hires it's busy. I speak to a lot of recruiters, and they're having vintage years most of them, eg hitting billing targets in Q2 for the whole year.

One job I passed on took a friend on my recommendation. Another few are in the pipeline at other firms. I can't remember a time when so many people I know were moving jobs.
