What's the problem on the days where you finish 5 tasks and have hours and energy leftover with using that information to "pull more work"?

Kanban is designed to minimize WIP. When your WIP is down to zero, it's perfectly reasonable to pull more work.
I've been running Arm64 windows 10 on parallels on an M1 mac, and I also found most x86/64 windows apps run well. This approach seems much more feasible as the long term path, to let MS and appmakers fix compatibility over time, than expect an entire x86 operating system will be virtualized well enough to the point it is stable also all apps running on it are stable.

I hope vmware fusion works as well because Parallels has become annoying over the years. You can buy a permanent license instead of a subscription, but you have to upgrade every time MacOS has a major update anyway.
If we get rid of corporate income tax (and we should), we should absolutely bill corporations for ALL use of publicly-funded infrastructure.

- use of public highways (reimburse in proportion to wear-and-tear, etc).

- use of public regulatory agencies like the FCC and FAA (to permit broadcast spectrum and airspace to be useful resources without everyone grabbing all of it all at once).

- very expensive use of US military to enforce international law, or to protect assets in foreign countries.

- use of publicly funded education to train their workforce.

I could probably go on for pages and pages but these are probably the big ones we spend the most money on.

I think a few months of this system and most corporations would be BEGGING to go back to simple income tax where they can game the system and scam their way out of paying what they owe.
How to make sure you have bad documentation
While not that widespread yet it is there in some context. For instance regularly miss out on news and updates from.various organizations I was once very active in because they have almost completely migrated to Facebook. A lot of extracurricular activities as well as schools require some sort of social media be it Google, or Facebook to stay plugged into events and check one students progress.

Even if the compiler doesn't issue a warning that triggers -Werror, your code may contain bugs. This is the root of the false dichotomy you present.
I can't wait to read the small print when it comes to actual egress bandwidth pricing. I can't believe it's going to actually cost zero dollars for all use-cases.
It's kinda astonishing to me that were fine with a third party company terminating end to end encryption between the service provider and the user. It just feels...so off to me that we've normalized this.

Hopefully there will be new standards in the future. But for now this is slightly terrifying to me.

I see Cloudflare as part of the system of control of the internet. They can prevent sites from being seen or users from accessing the internet.

I also suspect that their business model is the mafia protection racket - that they may run some of the bots that commit DDOS attacks - it would be in their business interests.
MongoDB Turns to Lucene for Search
While seeing these deep dives on A series processors is fascinating I find how powerful they are to be highly disappointing.

Here you have undoubtedly some of the finest processor technology available, manufactured in the hundreds of millions, wasted by the constraints of its platform. If the Pi foundation had access to cores, processes, and even pieces of this level of technology the overall computing world would be so much more capable.

Even beyond that, the iPhones themselves? Severely limited by the I/O they possess. As these devices age they could have several recycled general computing purposes but they're constrained by the single lighting port. iPhone use NVMe storage, they have PCIe lanes!

All this work, effort and engineering for a platform who simply seeks to make more off of the revenue of whales in their app stores.

Edit: I think my comment around Pis is a little misleading. What I meant is the general educational Linux community. Not specifically the Pi foundation. If after X years Apple unlocked the bootloader and you could install other operating systems to better leverage the hardware I'd feel better about the state of it.
Poor man's R2 is already here. Up and running in form of Workers KV ($5 per million writes, $0.5 per million reads, $5 per 10GB), which can store blobs upto 25MB. Front it with Workers Bundled ($0.5 per million calls proxied) and it quickly gets real close to what one'd pay for R2.

And no, unlike Amazon with Lightsail, Cloudflare is okay with anyone bypassing bandwidth charges when using the Workers Bundled [1].

Virtualization isn't emulation, but emulation can be used for the same effect, to run VM images.

That's where VMware started: The original VMware product started the whole x86 VM field before Intel provided any virtualization capabilities. VMware's first product, able to run Windows VMs smoothly in a window, was amazing compared to what had come before, and they did it before there were any x86 features for virtualization, using clever code scanning and emulation techniques. It's not at all obvious that they couldn't use similar clever techniques again, combined with Rosetta 2 style JIT - if they wanted to.
Yep. If you say anything bad about Paul Graham or any YC people/companies, you’ll end up on this list. YC companies can and do also sic the network on rivals. There are also some YC partners with personal grudges and hurt egos that go out of their way to fight with people. Some will even pivot teams to compete with people who have bested them in the past. YC is a super shady org.
I sometimes try to think about the "fast process" mentioned as intuition which I see as a fast likelihood estimation we do based on our previous knowledge. Which also make me think what role plays memory in our intelligence.

You had a bad experience or have a negative view of X, therefore everything associated with X is automatically bad?

Brave is a browser. You can use it as a Chrome replacement without Google stuff. Optionally, you can also enable the crypto stuff if you want to see ads and be paid a few bucks for that.

Brave Rewards for sites/creators... you don't have to claim the money (I do, eg: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27598202 ). Any manual or automatic donations are refunded if you don't claim the money (after 3 months, I think). They don't keep that money.

Some will say that blocking ads and then using Brave Ads is "blackmail". Well, the adblocking part isn't anything new. Firefox, Edge, Opera, and... Brave block ads by default. Users are already blocking ads, so I see this a different way to get revenue from users that block ads, but want to support me.

Now, the crypto currency itself. I don't care about it. I receive BAT, convert it to my local currency and then use it to pay for stuff. It's the same as receiving a payment in a different currency. Of course you can go on and play with crypto on some exchange, just like you can do the same with currencies that you trust, but that's unrelated to the browser and the cryptocurrency itself.

It may change in the future, but right now, I don't see any scam here.

(I use Firefox as my main browser and Brave as backup/when there's a compatibility issue.)
> I think calling it clickbait is too harsh. The right headline would be: "Cloudflare announces 3 changes which have the potential to disrupt 3 industries in the near/long future".

That's still quite the stretch. A pricing update to not charge egress fees for object storage and some types of streaming is hardly "disruptive", as is catering to the web3 buzzword.

I like Cloudflare, but these marketing blurbs start to eat away the goodwill that Cloudflare's technical progresses earn with their hard and quality work.
Helloo Jerry!!! Great to hear from you!!
As the presentation notes, in some circles it is. I absolutely conduct myself in public under the presumption that people in the background could jump in at any moment to make a viral video. I don't necessarily want to defend that as a matter of risk assessment, I'm probably being too neurotic about it, but the idea that I might become the country's punching bag if I say the wrong thing is just deeply distressing.

It is very fitting that this article that can predict the future also has a JSON error displaying at the footer:

That to me is the near future of software: people thinking software is somehow solved or easier while failing to execute well on basic things like displaying a static HTML document.
You usually have to trick them into it, by pretending to be interested in buying what they are selling.

The minimum you need is the company name they are calling from. The auto insurance places often will hang up when you ask that question, so you have to be clever how you present the question.

The entire way we approach driver liability in general is insane.

The Attorney General of South Dakota was looking at his phone, swerved into the shoulder, killed man and then left the scene. He claimed he thought he hit a deer, even though the victim's head went through the windshield and the victims glasses were later found inside the car.

What consequences did the Attorney General face? Was his licence revoked or suspended? Did he serve any jail time? Did he resign? The answer to all of these is "No." The only result was two misdemeanors and a 500 dollar fine.

So yes, accepting occaisonal inhuman errors from a system that is 10x safer (hypothetical, no current systems have this record) than human drivers may also be insane but it would still be far more sane than the current approach to human drivers.

USB 3.2 is not Thunderbolt. USB 3.2 achieves 20Gbit/s with signalling that is entirely incompatible with Thunderbolt signalling. It is completely possible to have a 20Gbit/s USB 3.2 port that has no Thunderbolt capabilities.

The first USB standard to incorporate Thunderbolt functionality is USB 4.
The West is undergoing a form of authoritarian monitoring - a minority of people, from various groups, are waiting for someone to step out of line in the smallest way and then pouncing on them for the benefit of themselves or their group. This really only works with a complicit media, who are willing to engender clicks and engagement over the ensuing discussion wherein context is usually lost.

This seems to be happening across political and social contexts.

>> And it is in incorrect as signed integer overflows are undefined behavior (at least in c++).

I'm well aware that it's undefined behavior, but every compiler I've used it on produces "correct" results. The reason it's undefined is probably related to the prevalence of computers that did not use 2's complement arithmetic 40 years ago. In practice it's very reliable today. It seems like they could eliminate this piece of UB from the standard simply by defining it to behave the way everyone does it.
Because it's never that obvious, it's not really 101 of gamedev to move everything to the GPU.

You know your target specs but where the bottlenecks are and how to solve them will be constantly shifting. At some point the artists might push your lighting or maybe it's physics now, maybe it's IO or maybe networking. Which parts do you move to the GPU?

Also a GPU is not a magic bullet, it's great for parallel computation but not all problems can be solved like that. It's also painful to move memory between the CPU and the GPU and it's a limited resource can't have everything there.
As another person who left over 10 years ago, I haven't even seen much of a change other than that baby boomers took over (meaning that the wealthiest people in the world piled in.)

Not only have they never seemed in danger for a moment from the outside looking in, but all of the issues and controversy around facebook a decade ago that caused me to quit have been replaced by entirely different concerns every few years, increasingly based on political winds. The content of anti-facebook sentiment has been ephemeral, and the backlash always disorganized.

And above all, nothing has stopped people from at least logging in once a day, checking their messages, checking their groups, organizing events and responding to event invitations, and angrily responding to right/left wing comments from friends-of-friends. People continue to do thie like a chore, even if they get their all day dopamine hits from somewhere else like reddit/twitter, facebook's own instagram, or even the google news feed. Meanwhile, the suburban white-wingers who get their dopamine hits from facebook spend all day generating the content that pisses off the "barely use facebook anymore" people, extending their single or twice-daily visit, and also providing the cultural strife that they're reacting to on reddit/twitter/instagram/google news.

> Can you genuinely say that there are no facts in this case that create even the appearance of bias?

I can say with some confidence that nobody involved in the agreement, on either side, would be surprised by this article's findings. And I am assuming that there is sufficient nuance around the concept of "appearance of conflict of interest" is covered by the mutual understanding of the firm's internal controls. I'll bet that the FDA has no interest in suing McKinsey over this.

The fines aren't big enough to change their business, but they are quite possibly big enough to change their _proceedures_. I can easily imagine there becomes more stringent internal rules and processes on disclosures, even if they keep doing business the same way in general.

If we are talking about fines that could cause the firm to go out of business, we need evidence of actual abuse of position. I'm not sure failure to disclose, by itself, is a sufficient transgression. On the other hand, it seems that it might be fair to penalize firm their fee on the contract, or a meaningful portion of it, on the basis of breach of contract. I'm not sure if that would be higher or lower than the current penalty.
Agree obviously but I think the message is conveyed about what is interesting.

They are competing everywhere CDN, Zero Trust / EdgeSec, Edge Computing, Hosting, etc...

Anyone can think of any good historical good case studies on companies doing this in the past? Like becoming oversaturated, not focusing on one thing enough, or just growing like wild fire across spaces?
Or rather "evolutionary"?
Not really no. Maybe for highway travel. In my city, 20-30 minute car trip is certainly faster on a bike, especially if you factor in parking. As for partial bad weather, most people don't work out every day anyway.

Of course there are edge cases with "rain and mud" there are also edge cases with protected bike lanes and rain cover. And if the point is to actually work out, what does rain matter? You are going to end up sweating anyway
Very much so. I'd even extend the outrage phenomenon to real life and non-tech.

"I just had a perfectly reasonable conversation with my neighbor on a matter of no consequence"

Said nobody ever.

"Omg did you hear what that idiot down the block said this time?"

Said everybody, all the time. The very act of gossip is to dramatize something mildly unusual and escalate it into an ever juicer story as it passes around. We are Facebook.

>Let's not pretend this is new

Let's not pretend the scale of the phenomenon today and mass surveillance capacity of today plus mass exposure and permanent public record of social media, web forums, even public spaces and events (e.g. with someone recording a video) is in any way comparable to the McCarthy era.

Or the the "offenses" people get social-mob-attacked, pilloried, and fired are in any way comparable to the offenses (even if BS) people were prosecuted for in that day: being considered an enemy of the state working to overthrow the government.
They also basically told you fantasies about the Russians and many other bullshit and convenient stories that put superhero de jure in a good light.

Word clouds are silly and a bit out of fashion, but very useful to find common rhetoric. If there is a dissonance between reporting and common users, you might have found content that is more of a suggestive nature.

There was and is a lot of that. Maybe popular writers just have common groups for information interchange. That on its own can be detrimental because the number of perspectives shrinks.

Complexity isn't an excuse. Legislative frameworks have a tendency to get more complicated since they often lack mechanism to deprecate unfitting laws, but overall complexity didn't really increase. It is an excuse and rationalization for these kind of lies. Projection of hegemonial power and securing strategic resources isn't complicated.

Undermining trust has to be an existential threat of newspapers. Many people are slow learners but they learn.

The common journalists is a pretty poor slob and the economic situation of newspapers is pretty grim. It was also a "safe" option to lie on Iraq. But what can be just as a large problem is when journalists a easily impressionable.

> The relational model is a logical model; that it's backed up by a B-tree or something else should bear no consequence except in query/update performance.

Agreed, but some people have incorrectly argued in the past that introducing sum types would harm performance due to the underlying data structures, so I was trying to head-off that line of argumentation.

> And you kinda can simulate the sum types,

I'm not sure I follow your example. Your `Color` type is a product type, not a sum type. I've explored every workaround I could think of for sum types (and asked many colleagues, etc), and they all failed in one important respect or another (typically because the type system doesn't understand your "sum type").
How so? If I build a house with a revolutionary blueprint, but I build that house brick by brick to make sure it's the best representation of that blueprint possible, is it still not a revolutionary home?
why doesn't it work? isn't all our society always abstracting away the individual stories behind statistics? (crime is down by 10% ! GDP is up by 0.2%, birthrate is down by xx).

we're used to it and we're happy about it and we use it to make decisions (buy house now, move to a new city ...).

Plus in those rare cases that you mentioned at least the same system will be feedback the incident to make sure that this won't happen again in the future... so in a morbid way there is a way to learn from such fatal incidents ... you can't really say that about such incident if the driver was a human.
Plenty of people say that, but I think this is too simple to be true.

You have a lot less conservative Christians in Europe (perhaps with the exception of Poland), but a lot more blatant ethnocentrist nationalists - a legacy of former decades and centuries where everyone was threatened by everyone else. (Exceptions apply.)

Sorry but I have a hard time believing the FDA didn't know anything about McKinsey's ties to pharmaceuticals.

The scenario here is likely ProPublica coming to the FDA and asking why they hired McKinsey since it has ties to Pharma. FDA comes back and says McKinsey never "technically" told them. So that's the story.

Any public agency that hires McKinsey can assume a conflict, since McKinsey has clients in every industry. That's partially why they hire them, to get insider views on the industry they regulate/deal with.
