Like I said, it's not a quantifiable statement, so I don't believe it or not believe it. If you're saying that FB promotes people faster, yes, I can believe that--younger companies generally tend to.

I am quite skeptical that the median time for a new-grad hire to get to L7 at FB is 7 years or fewer, but I guess this is something that we could answer with some weekend scraping of LinkedIn. ;)
For the original USB that took close to a decade. There were many years of cables of with just the right resistor to work with samsung phones for example.
For particular pull requests, I like to have the person responsible go over the PR in an organized fashion, top down where they explain why they solved the problem in this particular way, then go into what they've done and finally a guided tour of the code they've added. This would involve several people on the team and they have the opportunity to ask questions and interact. For how worthwhile that is, I'm surprised it's not brought up as well. I think pair programming and regular PRs are good too but sometimes a presentation style code review is great.
No we can't deny that oil reserves are strongly diminishing [0]. It doesn't mean that one day we will completely stop using oil. But the cost of extraction will always be increasing, inducing a reduction of its consumption.

That's nonsense. By that logic both sides can claim "They didn't vote FOR us so essentially the voted for the other side", which means that by not voting you voted for both.
MarTech Platform Ojamu Raises $1.7M
A 2m cable with 100W charging (the highest currently, but not for long) and video using Thunderbolt 3 is £70 inc sales tax, it's also stiffer and heavier than other cables. How many of those do you plan to just have lying around for convenience?

My XPS 15 already takes more power than that so has its own charger with a physical USB C connector (but also accepts standard USB C chargers with lower wattage). The next version will probably use the new USB C charging standard that the current cables don't support. Time to throw out all those cables I guess.

> their abysmal greed and asocial psyche: When you already have billions, what does it matter if you pay any percentage in taxes? How does it have any material or imaterial impact on your quality of life if you contribute back to society a fraction of what it gifted you with?

I don't think welfare should be based on philanthropy, but I do think some billionaires are still philanthropic, e.g. Bill Gates.

I think there is also the situation where these tax arrangements arise out of a lack of thought, rather than conscious greed and asociality.

If you pay a team of accountants and say "save me money", they're going to do everything possible to minimise your tax, some methods which should be classed as tax evasion, not avoidance.

I don't expect billionaires to have a conscience. I vote for our system to stop damage from people acting without a conscience.
Making go more like other languages might be nice if you like those other languages. But then, there are probably valid reasons for go language designers to not have gone down that path.

I can work with Go when I have to. But it's not my main language. I appreciate the low barrier to entry. There's a ruthless pragmatism to the language that just means that whether you like it or not, that's how you do things in Go. Go-fmt is a great idea. Shuts down discussions about style that are fundamentally a waste of everybody's time.

The suggestions that the author makes are unremarkably reasonable and at the same time controversial to people used to the Go way. People get entrenched that way. It's like tabs vs spaces or curly braces vs. begin/end (or parentheses).

Enums are a good idea though. Should be entirely controversial. But clearly people have dismissed that idea because it is such an obvious and easy thing to do. I'd be curious about the reasons for that.

Error handling has been controversial since the language emerged with people loving it and hating it. IMHO it would clean up the language a lot if they acknowledged the simple reality that the most copied bit of go code is basically people deciding to not do anything substantial with the error other than logging it. Having the option to do something productive is nice. Making it required to spell out that you are not going to is silly. Java had a similar thing with checked exceptions. That's thankfully missing from Kotlin (which I use a lot) and it streamlines code quite a bit without really affecting stability. You still deal with the error somewhere. Just not right here right now.

I mention Kotlin here because I'm eagerly awaiting Kotlin native getting to the point where it becomes stable enough so people can write command line tools in it like people do with Go. JVM based Kotlin or Kotlin script are just not great for that (startup overhead, dependencies). Kotlin native actually works well on IOS currently but it is a bit lacking for command line usage; mainly because of lacking functionality in the library ecosystem. Just not a huge priority for Jetbrains apparently. But very fixable.
Yes and there's a trap where once you learn one version of this you can go too far the other way trying to balance your personality out.

And it can also be the case that you're doing both at the same time - thinking about the community I am from, people treated other people like that because they were being treated like that themselves.
Facebook would have to be deemed guilty to be fined.

> She claims to care about making social media better but probably just wants an easy payout.

Why do you assume this? Do you know her, or are you just using your own moral character as a reference point?
How do you know that and its not Facebook making that choice (based on poor decisions) ?

>It's an elitist double standard with content controls for the masses and first amendment rights for the graduates of Princeton and Columbia with jobs at prestigious publications.

It's called power. Journalists are people, and desire power just as much as the next politician, CEO or movie star. Unlike those, journalists get that power by controlling broad narratives and having disproportionate control over the free flow of information.

It's an immense power that has evolved alongside modern democratic society and we have developed strong accountability mechanisms. Strong peer pressure and integrity requirements control that journalistic power.

Social media and the internet are recent invention that lack that evolved institutional and social framework. They are stripping power from the elites specialized with controlling that flow, and putting control in the hands of tech firms and anonymous "content optimization engineers" that make the algorithms work. They are only accountable to the bottom line.

So yes, it's a power struggle and huge double standards at work, only we shouldn't assume every revolution and upheaval of the traditional social order works for the benefit of the people.

When I saw this mentioned on HN I immediately knew this kind of comment would be there because something along the lines and I am paraphrasing "its probably fast because its not enterprise enough" was repeated in every place the refterm was shared by different people even multiple times even after showing all the proof in the world that its in fact the opposite they almost refused to believe that software can be that much better than its standard today even to the point of bringing up arguments like 16fps terminal is better than 7500 one because so many fps would probably consume to much resources.
Before I found Casey's tone criticizing bad software off putting but now I understand that after many years of such arguments it takes toll on you.

Makes sense and then it kinda agrees with parent comment that "Microsoft developers simply didn't have performance in the vocabulary".

Yes, there is no doubt that "there are always more things to do on a game project than you have people and time to do". However how there is time to firstly make "main thread on single core" monster and then redo it according to game development 101 - make use of GPU.

It is no joke - GPU was barely loaded, while CPU choking. On a modern game released by top software company proudly presenting their branding in the very title.

1. Before anything, develop morals and emotional intelligence. That means no complaining, being more patient and more trusting that things will turn out well. Everyone says be more patient but you have to be a lot more patient. Impatience screws everything: gaming, relationships, career growth, spiritual growth. This is why every insists on meditating.

A good question to ask yourself is if some celebrity posted this on social media, would you respect him more or less? Vulnerability is also overrated.

Corollary: never put yourself in a situation where you can't afford to be patient. The greedy people will seem successful until they get screwed by The Pandemic.

2. The best investment is in yourself. Max out salary before thinking about stocks.

3. Read a company's Glassdoor before the interview.

4. Focus on one thing at a time until you have intuitive control over it (especially code).

5. Buy the Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 as soon as you can afford it. You've been typing wrong your whole life.

6. Rule of thumb with cash investment is a 10x return. Rule of thumb with time investments is a 1x return within 2 years.

7. Don't work with/for anyone who you don't admire. Don't "settle". There are plenty of good people in the world and the best way to meet them is to become an upstanding person yourself. Following the bad ones will lead you into a pit of other bad people.
> When managing resources on separate memory, RAII is also rarely something you’d want.

It's the opposite.

When managing resources in system memory, RAII is rarely something I’d want because malloc() is slow.

When managing resources on separate device, RAII is invaluable. These external resources often have API designed like bind/use/unbind, map/update/unmap and similar. You forget that one close/unbind/unmap and you violate your part of the contract i.e. anything may happen including crashes and memory leaks.

Dragon trees - Dracaena marginata - are damn hard to kill. If they don't have water, they don't die - they just stop growing. I actually let a weed grow in the pot of mine because the weed responded much more dramatically to soil conditions.

Like all plants, however, they do need sunlight. Is your corridor well lit?
Not necessarily, often times, especially in big corporations programmers will be incentivized to deliver things quickly, rather than to provide the optimal solution. Not because they are bad at programming, but because they have quotas and deadlines to meet. Just remember that story of how in the first Excel version a dev had hard-coded some of the cell dimension calculations as they were under pressure to close as much tasks as fast as possible.
If it were so clear, who's gonna confuse the customers?

I hope EU force a law to remove marketing bullshit phrases for USB and Bluetooth.
> This might be an indication of the massive complexity of smelling: the human body has only four visual receptors, compared with more than four hundred olfactory receptors.

Sounds reasonable - after all, light is just electromagnetic radiation of a certain frequency, so evolution "just" had to "develop" a few receptors tuned to some of the most important frequencies. Same for hearing and sound waves. Smell however has to detect a huge range of chemicals in the air.
But why would you want to mangle the picture no matter how you do it?
Impact, water, normal use.
The 'U' in USB has become a bit of a joke.
If they want to be the "cable and connector for everything", they should simply require more specs. If that increases the diameter and cost, then so be it.
This whole thing is such a confusing mess, and destroys people's devices because of poor implementation (nintendo switch for example).
'Repeatable theoretical model' is not an episemological criterion of a science, usually for empirical sciences what is needed are fasifiable predictions.
I'm a recent newcomer to GO as a Kotlin native.

Initially I was taken back by the language, I felt we'd stepped back 15 years in language and design principles. I decried the lack of many of these features.

Today I feel more like the language has simply been misunderstood, and possibly because of its association with Google, wrongfully applied in places where it isn't the right fit.

It seems to been adopted, in many place as a fast system level alternative to higher level languages such as Kotlin or C#, when in actuality I think its niche is in providing a safer, more convenient alternative to C.

Great for smaller, performance critcal applications, or things that where the bundle size is important, such as operating system utilities, parts of the networking stack, small fast lambda functions, caching servers, etc. But not domain heavy application servers.

So with that in mind im not sure how I feel with GO current roadmap. Its now a language being adapted to be more suitable for applications I _feel_ it was never intended for.
Somewhat related to this story and more so to the wider context, I strongly recommend a documentary on Youtube called "Spider's Web - Britain's Second Empire" that talks about this very problem of dirty capital. It describes how offshore entities work, how they came to be and how City of London operates them through legislation.
I have just started reading Marx. I believe one of the core aspects of his analysis of capitalism is exactly what you mentioned here - the economy is a living organism and to truly understand it you have to understand the relationships.

I'm still working it out, so I would very much appreciate it if someone here had more insight to confirm/deny my understanding?

It's encouraging to see recent releases since the above post.
Couldn't agree more.

Here's one person's story. I joined in 2008 and it seemed a benign and cosy place to be. I didn't use it a lot, but I felt good about it. After a few years it started to feel a bit less comfortable. To be fair that was due to posts that people started making.

Quite soon all I saw was email notifications of people wishing me a happy birthday.

I logged on at the start of the year, and what a different place it was. I had decided to cancel the account I wasn't using and I was left in no doubt that it was a right decision.
Friends posted that they would miss me. I had posted nothing for a decade.

So recreate 2008, and I might, just possibly, come back.

That's fairly recent. At this point in the adoption curve of usb1/2 we had different cables and chargers for different brands of phones. And some did not have the data wires connected.
They should invent a new cable standard that universally does the same thing on all devices. I think there might a big market for that.

I followed MSFS performance pretty closely since before FS5.

What's happening is this:

- the FS developers are using the fastest possible machines, beyond what non-overclockers can get

- the developers refused to prioritize the tile stuttering problem evident in all versions. Ignoring that for over 30 years is just plain wilful unless ...

- I'm pretty sure the DoD funded FS (hence the non-consumer license for Pr3pared), and I think there was a requirement for performance as a "consumer game" to not be too perfect, hence the tile stuttering.

This is even more likely since Jane's had full-page ads for military sims using the FS engine back in the day. IOW, FS was too killer for its own good.

(I actually did my Instrument rating practical preparation on FS5, and passed in the first attempt at a Class B airport. I don't think DoD liked where the public FS game was headed, especially FS 2000.)
Ah. IMO "whistleblower", much like e.g. "refugee", is an attribute you can have regardless of if your status as such is protected by local law.

You can be a whistleblower even if US or state regulation doesn't explicitly classify you as one.
Best to just simply believe that it can be turned off, right?
Besides the SF content, A Deepness in the Sky is also one of the very very few books that have completely disgusted me about a fictional character, namely in this book, what happened to Qiwi and Kira Pen Lisolet. I had to stop reading a few times. For the writing to steer impressions this much alone this book is 11/10.
The model itself is broken, the abuses on section 230 turned platforms into publishers. It's now a chess game where external governments use this to control public perception. Best example is China and how coupled with Big Tech they are.

This can only be temporary and it's inevitable for this whole thing break down once there is disagreements. All we need is one issue and the whole thing collapses catastrophically.
Congratulations. Review is a powerful content. Great launching
Worthless study. They categorize all time spend in social media as „socializing“ even though tiktok,facebook,and instagram serve up a lot of video content that is consumed passively. Instead of asking participants, what type of media they consumed YouTube vs Instagram, they should have asked what type of activity participants perform on these platforms. Creating tiktok videos is very different from writing YouTube comments or watching Videos on Facebook.
Aggregating all „gaming“ activities together further negates all potential information that could have been gained through this study. Playing Chess online or competing in and training for E-Sports Tournaments will have very different cognitive outcomes from playing candy crush. For a first approximation they should at least have differentiated between casual and non-casual gaming though further granularity would of course be even better (at the cost of requiring larger sample sizes to be meaningful).
Their Crime is not in conducting a worthless survey though. Lack of time and resources might explain that. No, it is their baseless and unscientific „discussion“ of their results that should disqualify this preprint from publication in any serious journal. Speculation is not Science.
