I remember coming home from school in the early 80's and seeing footage of the space shuttle blowing up. My (and a lot of other peoples') first thought was that the USSR had found a way to sabotage it.

We had to contend with constant reminders of the "two minutes to midnight" concept, the idea that the USSR was going to attack us one way or other eventually, and that it would result in mutually assured destruction. The popular movies at the time capitalized on this fear in a big way. We were all expecting to see two suns on the horizon very soon.

It was definitely an anxiety-inducing time. I think today's Republican fear of social medicine is actually connected to this period, where "soviet" and "socialist" were pretty much only heard of as a single thing.

> Colorectal cancer has always been bad. The difference is that we have more data now.

Your linked source claims processed meats can cause a 18% increased incidence of colorectal cancer. The CDC [0] says rates of those cancers are 36.5 per 100,000, or 0.03%. Since some of those people undoubtedly eat processed meat, lets assume the cancer rate is 0.025% for people who don't eat processed meats.

For me, those numbers really dont move the needle - its highly unlikely to get colorectal cancer and abstaining from processed meats doesnt really change the rate much at all. There are probably other good arguments in favor of not eating these foods, but cancer doesnt appear to be one of them.

It is not "just fine". They do not have encryption on the wire by default and require an enterprise plan, which is percentage of income based, to enable it.
My understanding is that the network relevancy radius is usually pretty large, so you're unlikely to notice a lot of edge cases. Also, by using events for relatively unimportant things (animation playing, effects, sounds, etc) and replicated state for the important stuff, then everything mostly works out correctly, since the server makes a strong effort to ensure eventual consistency of replicated state.

Where network replication matters a lot more though is on things like movement and shooting in competitive games. There is a great short series of blog posts by Gabriel Gambetta that covers different problems and solutions, but everything is a tradeoff https://www.gabrielgambetta.com/client-server-game-architect...
What if we allowed controlled coins (no mining just simple database). Skip the Crypto and use transparent well vetted technology to keep the transactions. Don't pretend to offer anonymity. Don't inflate the supply. Publish the transactions publicly.

Edit: clarification of meaning no mining
Knowing Homebrew could have given them reasons not to hire him. He made bad engineering decisions and brushed off feedback. And even he said he's a dick.
This is true. The most important way in which TDD can turn into a cargo cult practice is to test every class and every method separately. This then turns into the testing of implementation details that are very much subject to change. It can also lead to the testing of trivialities, like 'can the standard library of my language still add elements to a container'. One should in most cases write tests about somewhat higher level properties of a system where the user might actually recognize the tests as being about stuff that they value. In most cases one would write tests about a small set of closely related classes. There should also be tests about somewhat larger clusters but there should be fewer of them because they tend to be more brittle and have worse performance.
Not that many people “love” it, that’s why it’s always surprising how well it does. It’s pretty unpleasant to use but there isn’t really anything else out there that’s so well integrated so they keep winning despite the pain.

I have a feeling that this market stays up because the previous one has just enough flaws to allow the other to be believable, whether or not crypto will provide something useful.. I don't know.

That's what I want... this would force me to make a different account for every topic I might comment/post on, and they can have their own local networks. If it's a topic that I know a lot about (eg what I do at my day job), it would force a fresh start every few years.

This is in contrast to my twitter account, which is such a mess that I don't like posting b/c "most" people who will see it followed me for some other topic.
I find in many circumstances looking it up ruins the conversation. If you quickly need a fact sure, but it you're discussing something more as an intellectual exercise, either in memory or reasoning, which in my experience is way more often, its ruined when someone pulls up wikipedia and reads out the "answer".

> Insert midcurve meme here. This reads like massive cope.

Cope is the single worst, dumbest argument you can possibly deploy because it means nothing other than you are unable to or uninterested in refuting any points levied.

It's a strongly left-curve argument to engage with your meme.

While the truth is, if you'd invested in TQQQ the majority of time over the last 5 years you'd have had a better return than BTC. I could make the same exact cope argument about that, but of course, that's a worthless argument.

Every single day you're missing out on an investment that performs just as well as any crypto investment. Investment opportunities are like a bus route: there's always another one coming down the pike.

Let's focus on the facts instead?

I'm led to believe this isn't r/Bitcoin.

I certainly agree, but it would take a very long time to implement given that the resistor color code goes back well before WWII. I can't remember when the system was introduced but resistors in all those early superhetrodyne radios from about 1930 onwards used it, thus we've going on 90 years worth of electronics installed with color-coded resistors (and more recently capacitors).

This is an enormous legacy, and even given the more rapid turnover of electronics these days there's still going to be a huge legacy of color-coded components for many decades to come.

If you are in electronics then you'll know that even relatively inexperienced people can read and sort resistors almost as fast as they can pick them up. In essence, determining the value of a resistor is about as fast as the human reaction time gets which is less than 100 milliseconds (about the speed a fluent reader reads words - like Morse code, one doesn't sequentially read the colors but recognizes the pattern as a whole). Therefore, any replacement system would have to be as easy and compatible or it'd likely meet with opposition.

It seems to me the reason the resistor color code has had such longevity is that it's so dead easy to learn and so easy to use. Perhaps the best solution would be to implement both schemas but then there's the likely problem of having sufficient surface space on the component to implement it (it's already a major problem on modern circuit board components as everything is so small).

You're absolutely right, colorblind people need a better deal, especially males who are disproportionately afflicted. If I recall only about 1% of women are affected, it was one of the major reasons why they were preferred over men on production lines, etc.
Every place I have ever worked has had some developers who were not amazing. The problem is places that insist that everyone they hire is a superstar, that's usually a drink the koolaid situation.

>Agile is a way for non-technical managers to exercise arbitrary power over engineers.

I mean, that's because managers do have arbitrary power over engineers in most places. No project planning approach will ever make that go away if it's true in your org. Blaming agile for the inherent broken power dynamic of your company just makes it harder to fix the underlying issues.

> The difference is, if a cryptocurrency is mismanaged, people can sell their holdings and buy a better-managed currency, decreasing the value for those who have the most to lose.

Selling requires buyers. If everyone decides to dump the currency, who do they sell it to? Maybe someone is willing to take the risk on it, but if so, likely at a small fraction of what many paid to buy in.

That doesn’t sound like a safety mechanic to me.

Program Evaluation and Review Technique
The very idea that software should be produced by the same production techniques we use to manufacture cars is a sickness, and the sooner it can be eradicated from popular culture the better.

It's everywhere from Lean to that insufferable Mary Sue of the Phoenix book. It makes for decent storytelling, but it has nothing to do with how any successful software has ever been made. There is no assembly line and we do not pause it. It is a parable that is actively unhelpful. Lean manufacturing was not even invented to develop or design cars, so it's purported origins doesn't even make sense.

See also "software is like construction work" which used to be popular before. That wasn't useful either, and anyone who's seen the construction business knows it's nothing like management literature of yesteryear would make it out to be.

Sorry for the rant. I don't hate agile. This just happens to be a sore spot, comparing software to "a car" is intellectually lazy. We should be able to do better. It's easy to imagine the day when someone asks why we can't design cars the same way we design software. Not the other way around.
This is the basis of the plot of The Sea of Grass, a classic Spencer Tracy / Katherine Hepburn movie. Tracy is a rancher trying to make this argument to some optimistic farmers. They see it as self-serving, which they are right about, but so is Tracy. Tragedy ensues.
Twice in my career I’ve implemented a system to generate “good docs” from source. Twice I’ve failed. I’ve seen several other such initiatives which also failed. In every case, a more friendly editing experience won over the “check it in and type ‘make doc’” experience. That could have been MediaWiki, Confluence, Box notes. People even preferred the abomination that is Sharepoint over a source-based system.

If your docs are only written by developers, you might have a chance to make it work. If you need docs to be also written/edited by non-devs, I think you’re looking at an uphill path to get everyone into source control-based docs.

And here come the cultists to tell me it's not a cult. TDD is at best training wheels for an incompetent junior developer. All of the TDD cultists I've worked with in the past have needed a lot of extra hand holding in how to properly design architecture, how to write more legible code and have never been allowed to go anywhere near interface design or development.

Well, yeah, realism takes a lot of work, so you'll only ever see it happen in one or two areas, if you see it at all.

> This is most especially true for the "soft" sciences that the hard SF engineering types so often sneer at.

Sneering is always inappropriate, whether it is being done by hard scifi fans looking down at soft sciences or by literary types who don't see the point of ever engaging with realism. These feed each other, of course.

To the hard scifi fan, the entire point of tangling with realism -- which is guaranteed to be difficult, involve sacrifices, and have limited scope -- is because it helps us understand humanity. Specifically, in the context of hypothetical technology. It's always frustrating when literary types stomp in and act like they have a monopoly on this type of thing, when really we ought to be on the same team. Ah well.
This makes a lot of sense to me, and I've never thought of it like this before.

Yeah me too, it should be clear with the whole tether thing by now that it's way way overrated.

But noon-techies i know bought an experiment with it and i was kinda suprised. I guess they are going for too big to fail.

A lot of "big money" had joined the crypto thing and it's making themv curious: "eg. all these big corporations can't be wrong".

I don't blame that they try now though, although I warn them. It's really getting surreal.

Note : I left crypto behind me in late 2017 at 18 k. Didn't trust it anymore and nothing changed.
There are 50k miles of natural gas pipeline in my state alone. The US as a whole has 2M miles. Somtimes problems become a bigger as you scale.

The main issue is hydrogen embrittlement; where steel spontaneously weakens and fractures in the prescence of hydrogen. The problem is much worse with pure hydrogen than with methane (where even the low concentrations of hydrogen are enough to pose a serious problem). There is a lot of serious enghineering work being done on this front, but I don't think we have reached the ablility to scale by a factor 200k just yet.

The magical hypothetical world where nuclear is much cheaper is called "the 1970s." In this improbable scenario, first world countries like France completely divest from coal in favor of non-carbon-polluting energy techologies.
> Did YOU even check what you cite?

I did completely read what was available to me without having an account.

> The AUTHORS of the original paper got a dataset from a company. They didn't assume the fraud from the start and published the paper based on it.

My comment is not about who the culprit is or isn't. Indeed, I don't mention anything about it.

Rather, it's about how, as the title says, a WIDELY cited paper has fabricated data following rather (IMO) obvious red flag patterns and none of the people -who cited the paper- raised issues about that.

Thus, I questioned whether scientists read or not the papers they cite in the parent post.
The question is not a judgment, I'm just truly curious since I'm not part of the formal academia, just an undergraduate.

I noticed that most if not all of these questions are applicable to doors in even simple 2D games.

Whereas the physics engine and real-world realism aspects are what the video talks about.

If the problem is that doors are inherently difficult to design, the counterpoint is that these questions have already been answered in multiple ways over the past 30+ years of video game history. It's easier today than ever to answer these questions by drawing on previous games.

I wouldn't expect it to change hands. It's still "same hands" just people giving orders are different. Like did .gov tld in general change hands when regime changed to next president?
eh, whataboutism

as much as it pains me to say it, but those "really really good engineers" are just cogs in the machine, providing services for money; the management running the machine, ultimately decide which direction the machines runs.

it's a cynical take, but cogs are replaceable, and would (often with not that major of an adjustment) easily fit other machines, ones that perhaps run in directions we don't like or care about.

(like seriously, tech companies like SpaceX etc burn through engineers like crazy, they literally take this metaphor to heart, iirc most fresh engineers last barely the vesting period, much cheaper to replace them with the fresh batch from the next semester)

Therefore the people running the machine are the ones that matter, since they are responsible for the good and the bad.
> Again, you're focusing on data consistency...

It’s only been around for 10-ish years. As someone that is interested in crypto, and actively participates in not only buying, but using it, I think we’re a far ways off from the bubble bursting completely. Market cycles will happen, projects will die, but I think crypto is here to stay. The bigger question is how far does it spread. It works incredibly well at putting money into the hands of people that have never had it before. The number of high school and college drop outs that I know, who now have more money than most people on earth is staggering.
