It's impossible, unless he holds a large portion of the shares of the company. One of the goals of the company is to replace the guy with someone cheaper or find a way to no need him at all.

You probably don't even need a uC at all. If all you need to control is a bunch of PWM devices from software you can use a USB-I2C bridge and a I2C servo controller. Off-the-shelf solution would be something like Adafruit MCP2221A + PCA9685 but you could easily build it yourself for a fraction of the price.
Maybe a slight rephrasing, "don't write stupid bugs"; there's a lot of small mistakes that people can make that can be solved by enforcing stricter rules, e.g. forcing the use of `===` in languages like Javascript and PHP to enforce the developer to think better about data types used.

Using linters, formatters, and IDE tools have taught me a lot of easily overlooked issues in those languages.
I've met plenty of toxic/ego maniacs/pessimistic people who were in there 20s or 30s. Sure age might correlate a bit with the pessimistic side of things but not terribly so imo.
My supermicro board fan controller is terrible (home server, so server board with silent fans). It keeps cycling up and down, which is annoying. I ended up adding a manual fan controller with a touch screen on the front of the server for all the non-CPU fans which aren’t too load specific (and I monitor the drives temperature programatically).

Apparently it’s a common problem. People write custom fan control scripts for supermicro motherboards which you can upload to the BIOS. But I didn’t want to have to learn another thing.
Yes, as an EP holder I married a SC -- no problem. It's the Workpasses that are very restrictive.

You are maybe confused by the multiple different types (and subtypes) of work-visas in Singapore.
New problem: can you estimate the number of queueable tasks in this supertask?
This is a little self-defeating, even for our current political systems.

Recently, there was a Canadian election. While we use FPTP here, many chose to vote NDP. They are effectively a third party, and were unlikely to hold even a minority government.

But neither incumbent party put forward anything, or anyone, more compelling. So those voting NDP were given two choices: they could vote for something barely better than the other guy, or they could treat their ballot as a mixture of optimism and a spoiled ballot, to voice their disappointment at the current state of affairs in the hope it might lead to something better, someday.
You mean for whom.
Most places are great if you are wealthy, powerful or both.

What I miss is his insight into the state of the industry, the direction technology is going, and his discourse on design and why Apple products he worked on are engineered the way they are.

Yes he was a flawed person especially when he was younger, but he was also incredibly insightful, a master communicator and was always interesting to listen to. I think it's reasonable to miss that, and hence the person.

A Monte Carlo simulation is infinitely better than all the conventional "to estimate, take your first estimate and multiply it with 10x". And even better, your manager can do that without your help and this learn better how much you tend to over/under estimate projects without trying to force you to change your estimates to fit what he think it should be.

It also ensures that the final estimate becomes on average correct, which is much better than most projects which tends to under estimate the effort it will take. Although, under estimating projects is often a feature managers wants since it makes it easier to sell it to customers, ie "My engineers estimated we can remake Twitter in a weekend, I think we should focus on that!".

Anyway, the point is that if your manager complains about your estimations being on average off then he is just incompetent and should have applied a Monte Carlo simulation on it instead of asking you to perform an easily automatable task.
I think your main worry is breaking the drywall/changing the angle, rather than the staples pulling out or shearing off.

It's not like TVs are very heavy, and the weight adds to the friction forces holding the staples in. Especially if the staple has to pull upwards to be removed, it's unlikely to be going anywhere unless the material falls out from under it
> Facebook is doing the thing that makes the most sense ... letting humanity be itself and profiting from it!

It's my understanding that is not what is happening in regards to "humanity be itself" rather the narrative is controlled by Facebook themselves and that narrative is based on more profit engineering and social engineering rather that going with the natural flow.

That seems to be the problem.
It's obvious that it's easier to show someone how public vote tallies are calculated then convince them the entire chain of custody for ballets was secure.

Even if they don't understand it themselves, it's just simple math done in public which would be easy to refute by any educated person.
It reminds me of when some atheists ran a campaign to be called The Brights. A name that can be seen as a little pretentious doesn't help. I think calling his party the Liberal Party, to borrow from Canada and Australia, would have worked well.
This is one of the arguments for approval voting. It's simple enough to be trusted by everybody with all the good properties of RCV and some superior things like rendering negative campaigning useless.

The top line, "Not Left. Not Right. Forward." kind of reminds me of Macron's "En Marche" ("Let's Go") that took over France in a storm, taking over the presidency AND the parliament only one year after its foundation, with very few previously known political figures in its ranks.

The whole thing looked like doing management rather than politics, and offered an alternative to fed-up voters who didn't dare turn to the usual far-right and far-left "protest votes".

Headed with a nimble tactical vision, the formula was extremely efficient... for one mandate.
".. because our founding fathers .."

It's interesting to see that all sides of political dispute in US, even parties (like this one) which want to cater to the seemingly more rational and less emotional part of the populace use the argument of "the founding fathers wanted it this way, so... that must be the correct way of doing things forever".
Teens navigate social media even better than many 30-somethings who were also digital natives. I agree with the sentiment though. Missinformation is a narrative from legacy media to fortify their positions against social media giants. To be fair, the latter are a problem, but mostly the censorship by them is.

So, the argument to deploy a database (e.g. Postgres) via Kubernetes is, that that some of the problems doing so are now solved?
I do have some issue with that one, because it kinda implies that compiling is a big, expensive and final job. But with current-day languages and tooling, you can effectively run trial compiles constantly while writing the code. The sooner you spot an issue, the sooner it's fixed and the less painful it is.

I take the performance hit and prefer my editor to have syntax highlighting, syntax checking, linters and (at least at some point in my career) relevant unit tests automatically running in the background on save.

It may also be illegal to serve national service (NS) in another country. I.e. I believe Turkish nationals are not allowed to serve, so as a PR this can indeed get very messy/illegal, or you may end up doing two different nationa services.

Strange. I lived and was born there. Though I can tell you my experience was very different from yours. Maybe it differed by region? Mine was mainly Bonn (Bad Godesberg) and surroundings, and later Burscheid, which seemed to be some sort of path where they did their low flying(though slower there, not near sonic). Nonetheless I feel there were times where almost no day went by without several sonic booms. Especially in Bonn from say 1980 to 1986. And those were F-15, F-16, F-18, rarely F-14, besides the stuff the German Airforce flew. Maybe Belgium, Netherlands? Oh, some Mirages and Gripen also! (But even more rare than the F-14) I could tell them apart because someone gifted me a set of cards for aircraft recognition ;->
We could use both, but only one option is viable with current technology.

Existing carbon capture should not be subsidized because it's pointless. Sponsoring research into carbon capture would be good, but existing methods don't achieve anything wrt the climate crises.
Even if the mechanics are known and everything is deterministic, it may be impossible to predict something in practice.

Usually, when e.g. a physical model is deterministic, we can have an assumption of some initial conditions and then evolve the system from there - even if our model's initial conditions don't exactly match the conditions we see in a real physical system, the result of our prediction will deviate a bit from the value we see in the real system. An error of prediction that results from our error of determining the precise initial conditions of the physical system.

Usually, the error in the initial conditions of the model and the error of the prediction can be approximated quasi-linearly: small initial error, small prediction error. But, when your physical system is nonlinear, as virtually all of nature is (e.g. N-body problem, turbulent fluids, weather), it can be chaotic - which means that a small initial error can produce an almost arbitrary error in prediction.

To correctly predict the state evolution of a chaotic nonlinear system from initial conditions, you need to know the initial conditions with infinite precision. (Edit: which is impossible in practice)
Hey, this is great, have been waiting for something like this.

There is no knight on d7 or no knight that could be moved there. (Or so it seems to me.)

In that same game this was funny banter:

Looks like the mount is limited to 15kg? A quick sample of ten different 55” models 2020+ showed only two were less than 15kg without stand.
There's a big category of issues and bugs that can be prevented by tooling and choice of language though, so make sure that those are in place at the start of a project. Shortlist: Typed language, linters, formatters, and set up your CI so that 'fast forward' on your main branch is off and anything is only merged after a rebase on top of main, a code review, and a green CI pipeline.

In theory, the only bugs that make it in production then are logic or requirements bugs. Having an extra step somewhere of a manual test might help mitigate those.
The Condorcet property (not method) is easy enough to understand.

"Imagine this candidate ran in a two person race against each of the other candidates in turn. If he'd win ALL those races individually, he should win when running against all of them at the same time too."

Now, explaining various methods which guarantee this property is not as easy - nor is it easy to understand why you might prefer one such method to another.

But this isn't actually a big deal. In the many, many countries that use proportional representation, it's the outcome ("parties share of seats in parliament should be roughly the same as parties share of votes in the election") which is agreed upon. The actual mathematics to achieve it are somewhat counterintuitive and not many people are aware of them, but that doesn't matter. We can all see it works, and so we would in an election with, say, Ranked Pairs.
Use tools that make it harder. Immutable datastructures, side effects constrained to a few places, good static typing etc.

Those are good things, but they only eliminate the class of bugs where the code is wrong. Some bugs, and most important bugs, are problems where you've written entirely valid and working code that does the wrong thing. That is where going back and reading your code again, and having layers of review from your peers, will help most.
Now I remember, it was a college try to improve the read operation of insertion-class sort algorithm.

One guy knocked down the time order considerably by doing tiny pre-bubblesort in blocks before entering into the link-insertion thereby making less passes over its million link-list chains: but only because he leveraged to fitting within its CPU L2/L3 cache. Professor said that the order got worse but not by huge logarithmic scale despite time speed-ups for completion.

Dang, the O order just got complicated for multi-level caches.
What's the amount of carbon in food related waste? If we could turn that into turquoise hydrogen and use the carbon for other stuff what percentage of the problem is that? Seems like an obvious place to start since it'll turn to methane if we don't do anything.
We've already experimented with UBI in 2020 and seen the result:

- Huge levels of fraud (applications from overseas scammers for state unemployment benefits etc.)

- Widespread shortages of entry-level workers

- Massive inflation and economic dislocation

Instead of UBI, we should just stop illegal immigration, and support deportations, which will increase wages and lower cost of living (real estate) pressures. Exactly like the Trump policies of 2019 which saw the lowest Black unemployment rate in history...

Soup kitchens and homeless shelters, universal free and available contraception/abortions, and stopping the incentivization of single motherhood with via increased welfare benefits, will better deal with poverty in the short and long terms.
Not really. The only thing that stands out is the decision to return html as a data structure with little syntax sugar, but most languages don't have sugar for that anyway.
I suspect so. From the app's point of view it's likely not terribly different to losing cell service for a while.

Of course it does. It tries saving the current scroll position and form data that might be present, and a few other bits of information, but for any even-just moderately complex JS-powered page this can easily break down unless the page in question has been properly coded to save and restore its state across a tab closing and re-opening (and a lot of pages haven't been properly coded in that regard).

Just try using any infinite scroll-type page – unless the pages saves the scroll position itself (to name one popular page, Instagram doesn't for example), all your scroll progress is lost once the tab is unloaded.
You can do that 'continuously' by inserting many layers of slightly rotated polarizers to rotate the polarization plane by an arbitrary angle.

An applied example of this are liquid crystal screens. Molecules take the role of the polarizers there. The rotation angle depends on an applied electric field and when you sandwich a layer of crystals between polarizers, you almost have a screen:

After Ross Perot's modest success in 1992 I think a very charismatic person could do it. But Yang lacks charisma and the mainstream media hates him (remember MSNBC and CNN editing him out of 30 infographics, which Yang says is intentional) so I don't think he can pull it off at the end of the day, even though his ideas are the ones that could actually unite the country.

Yes, but eliminating those classes allow you to spend more time where it matters.
Ironically, although no individual would want it, it is probably a good thing that it is hard to tell what a ballot's effect will be.

If the situation is close the best outcome may be a somewhat random outcome. Having 1,000 extra votes determine the outcome is just as arbitrary as anything else.
I have a problem with this way of thinking.

Yes, you can actually focus on not writing any bugs, but should you?

We have limited attention and mental resources.

If you're fixing your car, should you focus on not getting any oil on yourself? Yes, you take precautions but that should not be your main focus.
I mean I think there are some countries where these robots will work, depends on the population.

With a properly designed electricity grid with interconnects to other grids and using all those idle electric cars as batteries we surely can solve this problem. The wind is always blowing somewhere, the sun is always shining somewhere, and most electric vehicles are idle at night when the sun is not shining and they could be used to smooth out the peaks and troughs. Most private vehicles are idle for more than 90% of the time.

There are about 290 million private cars in the US (See https://hedgescompany.com/automotive-market-research-statist...).

If those were all electric with, say 50 kWh batteries they would be able to deliver an instantaneous power of something like 58 TW if the connectors could take it. But even if we assume that they are connected to only 7 kW charging points they could deliver 2 TW instantaneously. They could keep this up for an hour at the cost of losing less than 20% of a full charge.

Average US electricity consumption is about 500 GW so vehicle to grid plus an upgraded and properly interconnected grid should be able to solve the problem of intermittent generation.

I hope I haven't made a mistake in the arithmetic!

You can code in Swift Playgrounds, including developing GUI apps using SwiftUI, and the next version will be able to release apps to the store directly from the iPad.

That's aside from the third party apps like Codea and Pythonista that have supported coding and app development on the iPad for about a decade. If you've not been coding on your iPad, you've been seriously missing out.
Absolutely! We (humans) think we can fix and revert everything what we have done wrong (hint we cannot).

I think the idea is potentially harmful, because it give us the relaxation that sometime in the future we can undo it...so why the hurry?

Same with species extinction...no hurry we can clone them later..but forgetting that we haven't found all the species that are already extinct.

I'm not trying to defend Mark here, but it does bother me slightly that people continuously bring up that really old quote of his from many years ago. People change. I've said some disagreeable things on chat many years ago as well. Maybe as a joke, maybe I was frustrated, but I do regret them and I've since grown as a person. I would hate it if someone kept rehashing something I said ages ago to further their narrative of me. Would it not make sense to judge a person by what they're doing now rather than what they did in college? What about you? Have you never made dumb comments that you really wish you hadn't? What if those kept getting brought up against you now rather than who you've become since then? Just a thought.
Were Nigerians (allegedly) the only ones making fraudulent applications? Why is it only Nigeria you could use as an example?
