Meant to by whom? I was very serious about it. So was my boss and most of the people on my team. Beyond that, I don't have direct data.

My guess is that execs would have been very happy if we could have quickly solved the problem in a way where revenue and growth were not harmed and nobody important had to go out of their way.

But online abuse isn't like that. It's a hard problem. So I think execs were satisfied to say they were making a big effort, celebrate some modest gains, and then stop thinking about the problem once it wasn't a giant PR/regulatory issue for them.

So it's more like how a lot of people mean to get fit or lose weight. If it's New Year's Day or their doctor scares them enough, they'll get real serious for a while. They probably do mean it, but they mean a lot of other things too, and those win out.
Yes, I have one of these for that exact use case. I use this for my sensor https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CMR3CC2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b...

From what I understand if you're making fan curves from a sensor plugged into the device, it can operate independently. So you don't even need software support. Instead you could just set the curves in the nicer ui of the Windows app and leave it.
Thanks. We've got prototypes built and are measuring sleep state and stimulating SWOs. We've got an industrial design firm working on fit/comfort and helping us move to design for manufacture.

We've got a bunch of stuff we're not talking about yet re: our GTM, but we're moving as fast as we can. :)

Does that answer your question?
Couldn't it be possible that the people you know try hard but are limited with what they can do because of policy and decisions that come from above? Stuff like hiding research that looks bad isn't something that a dev or even a manager decides.
The human element is not a variable we define in code. There are things that, by the nature of how they're used, become harmful. Intent does not matter. Good people can intend that their new free anonymous file sharing service will be amazing. Until it's used by bad actors. The concept is good, the intent is good, but in practice it doesn't work that way.

There's also another concept, the reality that people do not actually care as much as we think they do. There's a program every public school in the U.S. has where kids run at each other, at speed, knock each other to the ground with concussions, tear their muscles, break their bones, and have terrible behaviors towards one another. Yet every school still has said program. Parents encourage their kids to join. We just don't care about whats right.
> I don't think anything in the subject or message should be a re-run of the code

Well, you're just wrong then. These aren't code comments. They're commit summaries. They exist only to answer the question "what?"--tersely. Because they're meant to help you pick out the right one when you're looking at a list of them and don't have the entire diff on the screen. But I don't think we're even in conflict here, because your example ("Fix syntax error[...]") actually shows this. I don't know why you keep calling that "why". It's "what". Any way of thinking of this as answering the question "why" (such as "why am I making this change?") is incidental. You're identifying which commit this is. That's a "what".

> Code: ... (that which I've called 'what')

What? No, code is never "what", whether you're talking about commits or you actually are working on the code and comments themselves. Code is "how", identifiers/names are "what", and comments and commit messages are "why". See my other reply to Vinnl about how weird it is to mix up "why" and "how" in the same breath.
What Rust could learn from Kotlin
I recently learned DynamoDB (a non-relational database on AWS). It was fairly easy to learn, basically a one day read through the documentation. It made me grateful that I first learned SQL databases and spent years working with Oracle and Postgres. Now I can easily choose the best tool for each job. But, if I had first learned a non-relational database, I could see myself looking at the daunting task of learning about database schema design, normalization, sql, pl-sql, triggers, indices, keys, constraints, etc. and throwing my hands up with the shear weight of it all. It certainly isn't a 1 day learn like non-relational databases. I'd probably try to force non-relational databases to fit every use case, even where they aren't the best fit.
For me this is as surprising as the double slit experiment, but much easier to reproduce.
I believe this is Prisoners Dilemma.
Sometimes it is not the virtue of people in the organization, it is a function of the structure and incentives of the organization, the "emergent property" that you reference.

Imagine if a company had invented methamphetamine, but the ill effects weren't as readily apparent. Then they built an empire on the belief that the societal benefits of millions of people running around in a seemingly ultra-productive manic state were a godsend to society, and that they had truly changed the world. Then realize that the effects of Facebook are worse than that--it has the opposite effect on productivity, has maybe worse mental health effects, and is nevertheless highly addictive. The reality would never sink in inside that bubble. Worse, the tens of thousands of people whose jobs and wealth depending on tuning said meth to be as addictive as possible are...what? Pawns? Believers? Accomplices? Delusional? Regular people. They are regular people.

Why do i need to have an Facebook account to read a statement from Zuck?
Nope.

When I was a student maybe 5-10 years ago, I got to attend a conference on brain/computer interface research as part of an extracurricular.

There were lots of interesting posters and products, but what really grabbed me was one of the headlining presentations. A group of researchers had learned how to use deep brain stimulation to do exactly this: provide immediate relief to a severely depressed patient.

The video was dramatic, but I found it creepy. One second, the person looked sunk in misery as they talked about their bleak outlook on the world. The next second, they started smiling and saying that everything seemed alright. The on/off procedure repeated a few times with the same effect: misery, relief, misery, relief.

I would take a brain implant to help me type faster, or treat a degenerative brain disease. But something that acted like a rapid mood-altering drug? Never, not after seeing that video.
An interesting thought experiment is if you could recognize and interrupt other thought patterns to change behavior and preferences because you want to, but have a hard time implementing the change.

Obvious example is addiction - there's some evidence that LSD and Psilocybin 'cure' alcoholics, I'd bet a targeted affect similar to this depression targeting could in theory work.

Maybe other things too, making it easier to practice or less afraid of trying new things - overcoming other obstacles. Obviously there are risks, but the positives are interesting to wonder about.
Fluffy operators like etcd-operator that do nothing but create some pods for you is incredibly overused concept in k8s ecosphere. I’m convinced most of these projects are spun up for resume padding of the creators. The fact they were able to replicate them using built in k8s controller is another proof of that

A microcontroller like STM32 would be cheaper and use less power for a fan controller, and would boot instantly and never crash.
What types of neurological disorders would using deep brain stimulation be okay for?
Could be. Some of the proposed regulation I've seen for this specifically exempts companies under, say, $100m/year in annual revenues. So legislators aren't unaware of the problem.

Another possibility is that Facebook knows that asking Congress to do something is either a) not going to increase the odds of them doing anything, b) actually decrease the odds by sounding contrite, or c) puts it in a place where Facebook's army of lobbyists and otherwise connected individuals make sure nothing meaningful will get passed into law.

It's not a bad bet given how polarized Congress and the American electorate are. And gosh, who is a big enabler of that polarization?

I don’t think that’s true. AFAIK main thing is to not stimulate insulin production so while many sweeteners might break the state lots of things have effectively no insulin response (for example pure coffee).
I loved the public person I knew as Steve Jobs!

I was genuinely gutted when he died, and suffered from a form of grief!

Jony Ive gave an interview recently to the WSJ!

“I loved how [Steve] saw the world. The way he thought was profoundly beautiful.”[1]

"Perhaps it is a comment on the daily roar of opinion and the ugly rush to judge, but now, above all else, I miss his singular and beautiful clarity. Beyond his ideas and vision, I miss his insight that brought order to chaos."

"Since giving Steve’s eulogy I have not spoken publicly about our friendship, our adventures or our collaboration. I never read the flurry of cover stories, obituaries or the bizarre mischaracterizations that have slipped into folklore."

I think this idea he was a 'terrible person' is just one that gets headlines!

Jony Ive's comment about the "bizarre mischaracterizations" is important I think in understanding Steve Jobs.

Many of the comments and anecdotes that go into creating the publicly understood persona of Steve Jobs come from a few well trodden stories IMHO. I've read a lot of books and articles on Apple and SJ over the years. I worked there in the 90's.

If you don't have a story about what an asshole he was, it doesn't get airtime!

Want traffic to your blog? Write about that one time you met Steve Jobs for 2 minutes and he told you your idea was garbage....

Yes, but I think UDP is still a good counter example for this analogy. Buffers can be detrimental to udp traffic for real-time use cases (eg VOIP). Here your trade off is quality (in voice this is jitter) versus latency. Typically you want to make this choice of buffer size at the receiving end only, and keep buffers elsewhere as small as possible - routers which store and forward, network card buffers,OS buffers etc, can add up to lots of bloat.

So for VOIP "JIT" is a good thing and your "Inventory" levels need to be tuned at the receiver.

Let's not erase the work of Stonebraker et al whose efforts through the 70s were a lot closer to Codd than Oracle's. Ingres's query language, Quel, springs to mind: being directly based on the relational calculus it was far more readily composable than SQL (which might be charitably described as "borrowing ideas from the relational model") was or is.
I really don't like how the OP phrased this one, because it's about more than knowing the value of your car.

This paper was published in 1970, but it demonstrated how markets can fail, as well as a method of correcting that failure. Imagine the following scenario:

There's a used car market of private sellers that is comprised of a mixture of peaches (good) and lemons (bad). To keep it simple, let's assume we're just talking about one model of car.

Additionally, there's no way to identify which car is a lemon, but it's known that they're worth much less than a peach because of the much higher cost of maintenance.

If you have a market where the above conditions exist (only seller knows if car is lemon/peach, and a mixture of lemons/peaches), you'd potentially end up with a market failure.

This is because sellers of peaches can't get the price they want for their car, whereas sellers of lemons can profit over the expected value of theirs.

The problem with assuming that lemons would be removed from the market is that any buyer of a lemon would want to sell it once they've realized what they purchased, putting it back on the market. This effect compounds to where a greater percentage of cars being sold on the market are lemons, further depressing the price and removing peaches from the market.

Akerlof's solution to fix the market was to introduce warranties. Owners of peaches would be willing to offer warranties, because they trusted the quality of the cars they were selling. Eventually, buyers would see the lack of a warranty as the indication of a car being a lemon, forcing the sellers of lemons to either offer a warranty or lower their asking price below the market price of the vehicle.

His work applied to the function of other markets, like insurance (older people are the costliest for health insurance companies) and employment markets (Certain classes of people have difficulty finding a job despite similar skills), as well as the institutions that have formed (Medicare, professional licensing) to improve the functioning of these markets.
It's not a tragedy of the commons but a tragedy of markets. Markets cannot factor in these externalities. It's a known fault with market systems. And carbon taxes simply won't work for many reasons (hence why oil companies are pro carbon tax).

What we need is carbon rationing. Everyone gets X amount of carbon and prices of things are both in dollars and carbon rations. The rich, who use most of the carbon will have to buy from the poor who use very little. These rations will become more expensive over time until people don't get anymore. So they will only be able to buy things that are carbon neutral/carbon free.
What's the metabolic difference between black coffee and water that breaks the fasted state?
I tried fasting Tuesdays and Thursdays for a few weeks in college. A couple weeks after I stopped I had severe and sudden dizzy spells for months. I’m not willing to try again unless I go hand in hand with a doctor.
I do it via interviews oriented on doing the actual work. The more an interview tests the ability to talk about work and be charming and persuasive, the more it advantages awful people.

For software development, that's the opposite of what I want. Some of the best people I've worked with were terrible at interviewing. But once we got into actual code, they settled down and their skills shined through.

Perhaps I've just matured and don't jump after the next new thing anymore, but I feel like the ecosystem has actually slowed down.

I remember when it felt like every year there was a MAJOR new library that you HAD to use. I started with vanilla js, then it was jQuery (which was a huge improvement), then Backbone, Angular, Meteor, React.

Then there were the different build systems that went along with the libraries/frameworks, new CSS frameworks as well, etc etc.

I'll admit, the last few projects I've been working on have been React and React Native, so I'm rarely diving into new frameworks and tools anymore.

Find something you like that is fairly common, and go deep on that.
I really like the idea of mouse longevity perpetual swaps. Wasn't too interested in any of the other ones.

The Nios II family has existed for years, with very little ongoing development. FPGA soft cores don't go above the ~1.5 Dhrystone MIPS per MHz because the increased complexity to go above the 5-stage pipeline doesn't play well with FPGA-style logic. The Nios II/f already occupied that space.

US building costs are highly variable by region. If you're going to compare to anywhere in the EU it'd be better to control for COL.

It does not seem to be particularly suited for embedded devices, unless I am missing something?

- <100MB initial install - check

- read-only root -- in some cases? the diskless mode/lbu operation is neat, but it puts everything into RAM, and some boards may only have 1GB of it.

- ssh-only -- nope, have to connect keyboard/monitor to setup

- "full power of debian repo" -- nope

Alpine is great out for small images, but unfortunately still unusable for headless embedded devices out of the box.

Agreed. Facebook is a mirror to society.
It says something when your first response to a story about a severely disabled woman is to judge the "shape of her body."

If you only get "depressed" after not working out for a while, you've never actually experienced the sort of depression that the article is talking about.
You don't just filter to hire, you also unfilter employee concerns. Most people think that CEO's, founders, owners, "management" are not going to back them, and they're generally right. Therefore most problems never skip the chain, and end up being suppressed by their own supervisors.
Of course, the overwhelming majority of all businesses (including web-centric businesses) work fine within those constraints.
> Imagine if you were trying to fix climate change, but under the condition that you weren't allowed to burn fewer fossil fuels. You may try very hard, and very sincerely, but it's fool's errand.

Not to worry, the new brain implant provides immediate relief from negative feelings about the brain implant! You'll be hysterically cackling in no time on your way to work at your third minimum wage job in the mines, with a protein snack made of an assortment of bugs.

In all seriousness, this is highly concerning, especially in conjunction with the powers that have been given so easily during the COVID pandemic.

Imagine in 10 years time it is declared that there is a 'depression pandemic', and for the better health of yourself and those around you, you must get your anti-depression implant in order to return back to work, and without your implant passport you will not be allowed into bars, restaurants, etc. Those that have already had the implant call you 'anti-Science' and publicly ridicule you as a second-class citizen. The President at the time publicly declares "our patience is running thin", as pressure ramps up to combat yet another infectious wave of depression.

The government promises "the implant will only be used to track and trace contact with those suspected of having depression", but soon the police realise that such technology could also be used in "exceptional" criminal cases, where your state of mind around the place of the crime can be submitted as evidence to your involvement. Once there is some acceptance and legal standing, the use becomes more and more common place. Eventually some smart people realize that there is some pattern of behaviour for people who are about to commit a crime, and so pre-crime arrests and thought-crimes arise.

The future has never looked so safe!
