What about picking up a hobby where long stretches of concentration aren't needed and there can be a slight social angle?
I personally would love to have more time for solo board gaming or board gaming online? With board gaming the social interaction is on rails with the game, the same goes for joining a book club or more non-cognitively with solo or pair dancing. And then there is the meditative path.

Most of my work is contract work with Adafruit. Almost every week we put out new hardware and most of those get open source drivers and/or creative projects that appear on Github and the Adafruit Learning System. The sales of the hardware fund the development of the software (& the new hardware).
3nm means the process is equivalent in density and performance to a 3nm planar transistor that Samsung designed. I don't see how that is dishonorable marketing because every company designed their own reference planar transistors.
Was coming here to say this. Bennett and Cas are well-informed and run a fabulous podcast, give deep dives on crypto history and its shady characters. If digging into True Financial Crime is your thing, with lots of “wait, that CAN’T be true, that character/event sounds TOO crazy” entertainment, this podcast is for you.
I've organized my life in such a way that I deliberately avoid multi-tasking since I read years ago that it doesn't work, and have proven to myself over the years that it doesn't work. YMMV. One thing I have done is introduce friction into my workflow. So I have a dedicated hard-drive that I boot into that is strictly for coding. Another is strictly for news & social media. This way if I'm coding, I am less likely to slide into Hackernews/Reddit/Twitter/Whatever. Friction is good and more people need to leverage it.
Never thought of an MBA as technical, that is an interesting perspective to think about.

I didn't know about the crown / state context, and that makes more sense than the Queen herself owning the Swans and Dolphins. :)

But no, I am not confused about the symbolic roles vs what is written in law.

I am an indian and our current Parliamentary system is a British legacy. We understood the need of a titular role like the Queen in our system, and thus created the position of the President for it. So in India, everything happens in the name of the President of India. E.g. A law becomes a law only if the President signs it. However, our constitution clearly defines the role and the post has no real power over the Executive, Parliament or the Judiciary.

Personally, my perception of the British monarchy has been that the laws assigning the power to the monarchy, as it was then written gives them a lot of power. But it is only in the last 3 - 4 decades that they are being interpreted more "democratically" in modern parliamentary traditions (a reflection of the changing times). And thus it is being taken to mean that all her powers can only be exercised "under the advise of the cabinet", even if some of the laws don't explicitly state that. (As you rightly pointed out, the lack of a written constitution is a very interesting feature of the British system, as it allows for a more "flexible" interpretation of the law by the courts).

Interestingly, unlike in the indian system, a Queen can actually refuse to sign a bill into law. (In India, it is clearly spelled out that the President can refuse to sign a bill into law and send it back to the parliament with his objections. But if it is sent back again, the President has no choice but to sign and make it a law). So in theory, the Queen can over rule any law abolishing the monarchy or its role in the British system! There's also enough leeway, in theory, in the laws for the Queen to assume full power anytime in the future as the Queen can dismiss an elected government and elections can only be held when the Queen calls for it.

> The power to go to war used to be a Royal Perogative (the PM could declare war) but even this is now lost after adventures in Iraq and requires assent by parliament.

If I remember right, didn't the Queen refuse to give her assent to table this bill to the Parliament? (One of the rare times she exercised this power).

In one instance the Queen completely vetoed the Military Actions Against Iraq Bill in 1999, a private member's bill that sought to transfer the power to authorise military strikes against Iraq from the monarch to parliament.

Strongly recommend ad blocking on the network level with something like a pihole, one of the best tech related things I've ever done
On the contrary I think people working on things like this might have a good amount of humanity. It's the pressures to cut humans out for labor costs that is without humanity. Even non-profit hospitals often have administrations that are incentivized to cut costs, which meant that even before the pandemic hospitals were cutting their workforce to the bone. There are currently very few, if any, laws that mandate safe healthcare-worker-to-patient ratios, which means hospital administration can arbitrarily decide how many ways a given medical personnel is expected to split their attention among the sick.

Make no mistake that if we are to blame anyone with this technology we should be blaming medical administration.
Having opinions is good, but only if they’re genuinely informed opinions and everyone is willing to disagree and commit.

I’ve worked with too many people who think that their opinions are their identity and defended them as such. A difference of opinions shouldn’t become an excuse to go to war with your coworkers or argue endlessly instead of getting things done.

One of my worst work experiences was with a team of developers who were old friends from a college debate team. We could never have any productive discussions because they entered every conversation intent on winning instead of having an honest, productive conversation.

The best engineers I’ve worked with have had strong opinions but have also been happy and willing to go a different way if that’s what the team decides as a whole.
Yeah I’m not sure how direct in person access to decision makers through an MBA, is comparable to those websites that largely are just tools to look people up.

Your chances of success are orders of magnitude higher from in person networking through a top program, vs cold-emailing someone you found on linkedin. That’s just the reality of it.

That's the problem, though. It doesn't matter how good or bad their service is because their business model should not exist.
Back in the day they would post a question like "What did Jack Welsh do about ... at GE?" and Jack Welsh would butt in with an answer.

That's not scalable.

Asking the crowd for answers and having the crowd vote on the answers is not epistemologically sound. That is, it doesn't produce correct answers.

It's fine if you want to express yourself on a topic like "Did Tom Brady win all those Superbowls or did Bill Belichick win them?" (what answer could be better than watching the Patriots play the Buccaneers?) or "What IDE do you like for Javascript?" but you can't get to Heaven or even The Truth that way.
You are looking at the problem from a developer perspective, not from a user/reader or content creator, your article just gives tops 1 paragraph to the issue at start talking about syntactic validation and micro-optimizations that the user/reader doesn't care.
The point is we don't need AMP, we can deal with caches and the bullshit micro-optimizations ourself, ppl don't care if the page loads instantly or in 4s-6s, despite any claim Google does.
I don't see a reason to stoically put up with an alternative I consider inferior for my use.

Half hour outside east Austin is super cheap, no idea what you're talking about. No one is in "for a world of hurt" unless they insist on living close to downtown.
The difference between a senior engineer and a junior engineer to me is that a senior engineer knows how to evolve a system into the system that they want/need it to be. They don't just say "well, looks like we have to throw the whole thing out the window and use this other new shiny/rebuild it from scratch". The desire to reinvent is important to keep throughout your years as long as it is rooted in reason and in the best intentions of the team and company.

Riffing on that, more senior engineers better know how to evolve those systems (whether that is working with larger systems or working on people problems or working to support large customers, etc)

I like this post. I think it has an important overarching lesson, which is that when you're explaining something that's complicated, it's critical that the structure of the exposition itself is straightforward, that way there's only one complicated thing in the room.

One concrete takeaway for me is:
I often lead with the history of a problem in order to give it some gravitas, but maybe I'll try the advice of swapping the order up, and starting with the concrete thing of what it is we're going to accomplish.

Singapore was supposed to be a model society/mode of governance. Give up a bunch of your rights, and in exchange intelligent technocrats would guide the country much better than a messy democracy ever could (i.e., the philosopher king model). Covid has exposed the fact that the Emperor, regardless of where s/he reigns, truly has no clothes, and thus that top-down governance models simply do not work all that well, especially during times of crisis when decisions have untold amount of externalities.

In retrospect thinking that the vaccine would fix everything and things would go back to normal after n% of the population is fully vaccinated is utterly brain dead. The vaccine does not stop the spread, it creates a false sense of security and embitters the population since the reward for +18 months of inhumane restrictions is nothing but false hope.
Can you cite any research to to back up that claim that the quality of work of any trades person is connected to their nationality? The suggestion sounds totally absurd.
I personally know many trades people, quite a few have been forced to close up their businesses and work for big chains to survive.

But I wonder why they would feel ignored and marginalised, they must all just be mediocre and afraid of competition.
I'm not from the US, so I never got it - why do people donate to schools they got degree from? The degree wasn't free (usually very far from it), they weren't done a favor that they now need to repay. Anyone care to enlighten me? Do the donations open doors to some elite alumni club?
What a weird way of looking at it. First, how did you turn 2002's $200B into 2021's $5.5T?

It has to do with whether or not the person being tested is right brain dominant or left brain dominant. The vast majority of people are left brain dominant and for them multitasking is extremely difficult because of the linear sequential nature of the left hemisphere.

Right brained people, those with the right brain dominant over the left, have an easier time multitasking because the right brain is image oriented. The right brain processes information as images are processed, In a visual simultaneous manner.

It is far worse than the Google and apple experience. They routinely make inferior versions of an app that would be redicously easy to clone. They need to realize they are a hardware company, not a software company

And that goes for all of their product lines across the board. It's all garbage software. Its a shame they intentionally cripple excellent hardware with crap

Until they stop that practice they are not even a potential option for me. I don't get why they can't save the money and just make a good pure Android experience

Does (neo)vim offer a similar debugging experience? Visually stepping through code and setting break points and stuff?

I like vim's code navigation, but I miss the autocompletion features of bigger editors. Can you make vim tab complete like sublime? Last I tried, it was never as "one key to rule them all", but required some additional finger-fu and attention. Also moving selected code around (so I can make engine noises) is a must.

Something about VS Code just feels wrong, but it's pretty much exactly enough of an "IDE" for me. Tho, I strongly dislike the project based file management. Would like to have a solid vim setup instead.

In a lower income area, that's certainly possibly.

But, in a higher income area? I doubt it. A single mid-career developer in the US is going to pay somewhere around 20% in income taxes (combined federal, state/local, FICA, after 401k contributions and taking standard deduction).

A nomad living in my area (DC metro) would have to consume a lot of stuff to make up for that tax shortfall.
What do you mean? Public trust in the media is at an all time low. News companies almost died at the advent of the internet but came back fighting by drive engagement with emotions. Even documentaries like “The Social Dilemma” are guilty of using the tactics they blame FB for using. Trump made his presidency off of “fake news” and distrust of the media.
The game is all about starting with a narrative that follows your audience’s wants and then cherry-picking facts to confirm that bias. All sides are guilty of this. FB’s PR department is guilty of this as well, if we are to be honest.

MRAM doesn't have an unlimited endurance. At most, the STT MRAM will give you 10^15 guaranteed writes before the junction starts to fail repeatedly.

This is though, way, way better than flash. To get to DRAM level it needs 10^17, or ideally 10^18, so it can be used as cache.

It is also not the most power efficient memory, but still way better than any DRAM.

SOT MRAT promises more performance, and endurance, and VCMA promises more power efficiency, and logic compatibility.

For the program to be racially segregated using your above definition(ignoring common usage), then the program itself would have to have separated the races in the program.

The NYTimes article isn't an 8 year old writing their first newspaper article using the dictionary to form sentences.

Thank you for the clear and honest answer, that's what I was looking for.

> Even without Jim Crow laws and segregation, even assuming everyone is perfectly colorblind, the historical context where there were slavery and Jim Crow laws for hundreds of years means that whites wield considerably greater social capital than blacks, and that means they have a significant social advantage.

How do you reconcile this view with the fact that asians were also discriminated against, but now do better than whites? The way you described it, there is a perverse incentive for people at the bottom to stay at the bottom. Is that considered a problem? That perverse incentive might trap them even more at the bottom, is that being considered? Are those views, in a way, close to universal income? As in, the idea is that you raise the absolute bottom at which you can fall in society? Some kind of glass floor, as opposed to the glass ceiling?

Again, no judgement on those views or any others. I'm thankful for your straightforwardness.

I grew up in poor Appalachia where there are countless poor citizens but they still struggle with bank accounts. You might be looking for a negative reason but a lot of them just like having cash in hand and don't want to deal with accounts that can overdraw or be penalized in any way. It's just an old world way of thinking. My money in my pocket consequences or no.
The benefits of a bank account are also pretty small... There used to be great interest rates, but now a bank account for many is just an easy way to get into debt by accidentally going overdrawn, or doing things with a high fee attached.

For those who can get paid cash and spend cash, the downsides of a bank account probably outweigh the upsides.
IME, it's because when you view vim as just another element in a list of "things that let me write code into files", where sibling elements are "IntelliJ", "vscode(ium)", etc, then vim comes off as looking like "gedit but with keyboard shortcuts and no discoverability, oh but you can research and install and configure a million plugins with no overarching design cohesion and you also have to maintain and update them". As opposed to many other editors/IDEs that are designed holistically and more intentionally, and have a much higher "just works" and discoverability factor.

From that angle, yeah, it's probably fair for people to look at vim and go "what even is this".

I think the right way to look at vim is "it's a powerful editor that is installed on almost every linux box everywhere that is deeply customizable and extremely flexible".

Seldom a week goes by where I'm not ending some ridiculous shell pipeline incantation with "| vim -" to dump it into vim and then do further investigation there (with regex, find/replace, etc etc support).

So, I consider myself a vim fan, but I don't use it for day-to-day coding but I still consider it an important tool in my toolbox.

I do think there's a crowd, too, for whom customizability for the pure sake of customizing is a big feature. And that's fair too. But I think that really tends toward being for amusement rather than productivity gains. Which is fine! Lots of software is for having fun, and having fun adjacent to being productive and make it easier to be productive. So I'm really not bashing anyone here, promise!

As a transplant from Southern CA to TX 4 years ago I can honestly say that traffic in Austin is barely worth mentioning when compared to traffic in Orange County and Los Angeles. In Orange County, I would daily spend hours in a car traveling at average speeds that I could beat on my bicycle. Traffic jams that are 15-20 miles long on 7 lane highways. Even the express lanes would back up to the entrances. People drive over islands and fill up back streets. Anyone who does a daily on the 91 and the 55 from Corona to Irvine can back me up. 8 years ago it was TERRIBLE.

I don't know about the Bay Area, maybe they are better because of reliable transit, but Austin is nowhere near the So. Cal area when it comes to traffic.
Vim is like anything in computing. Confusing at first, eventually you have an "ah-ha!" moment, and in time it becomes second nature.

But there are also different personal preferences. I'd say vim is great if you work frequently in a terminal and prefer the keyboard to the mouse. It's not for everyone and that's ok.

Hasn't this been debunked for a while? To prove this all you need to do is have test subjects listen to a podcast or audiobook and then distract them with something for a second or two and the results will undoubtedly show that the vast majority of listeners stopped paying attention and what was heard was not comprehended/absorbed. Humans tend to think they are capable of more than they really are.
