That’s quite misleading though?

It seems clear to me anyway that what she was referring to is a similar trap marijuana growers have here in CA and other legal states. Namely that just because SF gives you a permit doesn’t make it legal (in that everyone who could come arrest you would not), and it may actually make it worse by putting you in a database of ‘known offenders’ for the next higher level of law enforcement to come after you. The state of California doesn’t recognize any permit in SF, and neither do the Feds, and if she crosses state lines in her work, the feds could go after her for it.

Would they do that right now? Probably not. Would some future different administration? Possibly.

And, since it’s required to use legal names and the like, and these records are permanent, it could be a decade or whatever in the future when politics have changed, or there could be a records leak and now your real legal name and occupation and home address or whatever is all over the Internet, and who knows when or if something weird happens.

Gun owners recently started having their records shared with various universities for instance, which include home addresses, names, and what they own - and have no legal recourse near as I can tell.
Frameworks are the "No-Code"-solutions of programmers. Like these they work well for the intended purpose and become a horrible pain, if you try to venture of the beaten path.

To expand them, to cover the whole solution space, destroys the framework, due to bloat and the huge code necessary to solve "all problems and have all the answers."

One of the many uses I have for a mindmap in my daily use (Freemind 0.9.0!), is as a place to write out sysadmin/sql commands in a structured way before executing them.

If I can test it on dev before production - great.
If I have to run it directly on production, following this method (religiously!) has saved me from any catastrophic (read unrecoverable) issues.

When you are under pressure it can be easy to say 'I don't have time to write out the commands'.

When touching production servers, you need to spend the extra minute or so to write it out.

It is interesting that the mice which fasted had improved metabolism and blood sugar regulation while the mice which ate the same amount of calories throughout the day did not.

Obviously, it is not possible to extrapolate to humans from this study alone. However, the fact that fasting (and severe calorie restriction) can heal type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome suggests that there may be similar processes at work in humans and mice.
I think it’s because of the government moves that have effectively shut down a huge swath of prior contracting gigs (where SWEs got paid decently, albeit as freelancers). These experienced engineers are not going to work for 70k/year like suckers, er perms, were doing 5 years ago. Combined with rising TCs at FAANG, and a shortage of experienced engineers, overall wages have gone up significantly in the last 2-3 years.

Management cares about code quality. Management just cares about profits, deadlines, customer acquisition etc about a million-fold more. They'll always choose getting that deal over getting that good code quality.
If you have a problem somewhere in a mess, it will definitely hurt. What will you do then? Nevertheless, if the programmer know what they're doing I trust that the mess won't be extreme messy in the first place so maybe our argument is purely academic.

I think the whole problem is keeping the character encoding consistent in the applications and their dependencies. Programmers often forget this because they avoid non-ASCII characters in their code.

Although, I don't understand the uproar over people saying adblock was being removed from Chrome, which still works for me.

The cylinder approach (actually paraboloid-hyperboloid or Wolter-I optics) is the main design used today and for future telescopes for lower energy X-rays. Focusing optics have a big advantage of having a lower level of background compared to a coded mask. Future Wolter-I optics use clever designs for the telescope, such as stacking silicon wafers into modules planned for the ESA Athena observatory [1] or modular lightweight single crystal silicon mirrors planned for future NASA missions [2].

How could you possibly now that, especially after decade long design fallacy over practicality and with this notch thing?! You have no foundation for this claim that it will happen just based one lone step back into the right direction.

Accidentally trigger that path now and then? Probably. Depends on subnormals to give a reasonable result? Probably rare. But what do I know...
If enough people want it, it will happen.
Denormal floats are not a purpose, they are not used intentionally.

When the CPU generates denormal floats on underflow, that ensures that underflow does not matter, because the errors remain the same as at any other floating-point operation.

Without denormal floats, underflow must be an exception condition that must be handled somehow by the program, because otherwise the computation errors can be much higher than expected.

Enabling flush-to-zero instead is an optimization of the same kind as ignoring integer overflow.

It can be harmless in a game or graphic application where a human will not care if the displayed image has some errors, but it can be catastrophic in a simulation program that is expected to provide reliable results.

Providing a flush-to-zero option is a lazy solution for CPU designers, because there have been many examples in the past of CPU designs where denormal numbers were handled without penalties for the user (but of course with a slightly higher cost for the manufacturer) so there was no need for a flush-to-zero option.
To me the problem is clearly in the rate of growth between the higher ups and the actual labor force.
Of course a CEO with huge responsibilities has to earn way more than a task based worker.
Over the last 40 years basic salaries grew at a rate x, while average c-level salaries grew at a rate nx. That n multiplier is where the problem lies.
Has C-level importance in the business grown with a factor n? Why have we accepted in the first place that this discrepancy should be the norm?

I went all analytical and stuff, but what I’m probably really saying is eat the damn rich and abolish billionaires.

I suppose this comment won’t be very popular in a forum of wannabe tech billionaires who idolize tech billionaires.
The CTO already said you're ok, you have everything you need. The owner (generally) wouldn't have the technical know-how of what you actually require.

I got to work in a bank and I can say it's nothing special. There's a much increased load of compliance-related work due to how regulated the field is, but otherwise that's about it.

There's -a lot- of business knowledge to know about, and you'd make more use/need of it in a smaller bank yes, but it's not what you'd really ask of the software developer.
Also maybe you woild like to have more granular control over which parts of your program has the priority on speed and which part favours accuracy. Maybe this could be done with a seperate type (e.g. ff64) or a decorator (which would be useful if you want to enable this for someone elses library).
It's not that you decide specifically to use them, but sometimes they sort of happen very naturally. For example, if you evaluate a Gaussian function f(x)=e^(-x^2), for moderate values of x the value f(x) is denormal.
Principles of Abstract Interpretation by Patrick Cousot
- There is no way to measure code quality

Actually there is:
Tech debt materializes in all measurable metrics of the project. Project Deadlines continuously are missed and the time at which they overshoot increases.

A project needs "exponential" people. The quit rate among the developers constantly increases, with experienced devs quitting first.

All these signals should allow actually easily to create a metric for code-quality. Its a signal that bounces from the code through the system to you.

We have ways of computating the original value after it has bounced through the develop teams system.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convolution

The problem is rather- nobody wants to know how much debt they own, or to speak bluntly, whether the situation one is in, is actually a tech-debt bankruptcy.
This is actually doable. There's a tweak to PageRank you can do (that's as old as the original paper[1]) that allows you to bias the ranking toward a certain set of websites. It works really well.

While it's probably unfeasible (or at least really expensive) to do completely personalized rankings, that's just too much data, but segmenting off into areas like academia, blogosphere, tech, etc. is quite doable, and as the authors remark, this approach is highly resilient to manipulation from commercial interests.

Not sure I agree about the overall information complexity, since a first principles physics simulation of a universe involves simulation of all the wave/quanta up through molecular dynamics and on to macroscopic behaviour of the universe (and us in it)…

It’s hard for me to imagine the “information complexity” we’re inducing into the universe as significant compared to the total size of the state machine representing all the neutrinos and photons in the universe, let alone the other particles.

Also if the the universe is a simulation it makes sense the simulators would be working with snapshots since even if you have the computational capabilities to simulate an entire universe, you probably don’t want to waste whatever time/energy resources exist in the simulating universe, simulating the first few billion years till your simulated universe gets to the point you’re most interested in, be it changing parameters / picking the outcome of particular random outcome or just zooming in and studying what goes on in the randomness, or just looking at it like some kind of highly advanced virtual zen garden.

So I’m not entirely convinced that our electronic computation devices which operate by way of the movement of electrons or photonics devices operating by manipulating photons (and usually electrons too), represents our hypothetical simulators having to design or run a simulation of anything beyond what we call “normal operating behaviour of clumps of solid baryonic matter”. All the computers in the world, full of electrons and interconnected by fibre optic lasers, is unlikely to involve simulating more electrons, neutrinos, and other subatomic particle interactions than are necessary to simulate the earth’s inner and outer core and their electrodynamic (which are coupled to the solar electrodynamics) and thus simulate the production of the earths magnetic field.
Maybe... or maybe there would be just a flag to enable all this and be fine with consequences.

Obviously, not all devices have up-to-date kernels. It depends on whether they are supported by relevant Android distributions. That's why I used the phrase "quite up-to-date" instead of just "up-to-date". Unfortunately for you, LineageOS has stopped supporting i9300 Samsung Galaxy S3 with the latest official release being 14.1, which is based on Nougat (Android 7.1.2).

Having said that, I ran across the following post that describes successful installation of LineageOS 18.1 (Android 11) ROM on Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300: https://devsjournal.com/install-lineage-os-in-galaxy-s3-i930.... This is just FYI. So, if you understand relevant risks and feel adventurous, you can try to install it on your device.

I still don't know WTF "code quality" means. Do I need to buy an even-longer book to really understand it? Where can I hire someone to properly consulant-splain it to me?
I found the following note for -ffinite-math-only and -fno-signed-zeros quite worrying:

The program may behave in strange ways (such as not evaluating either the true or false part of an if-statement) if calculations produce Inf, NaN, or -0.0 when these flags are used.

I always thought that -ffast-math was telling the compiler. "I do not care about floating point standards compliance, and I do not rely on it. So optimize things that break the standard".

But instead it seems like this also implies a promise to the compiler. A promise that you will not produce Inf, NaN, or -0.0.
Whilst especially Inf and NaN can be hard to exclude.

This changes the flag from saying "don't care about standards, make it fast" to "I hereby guarantee this code meets a stricter standard" where also it becomes quite hard to actually deduce you will meet this standard. Especially if you want to actually keep your performance. Because if you need to start putting all divisions in if statements to prevent getting Inf or NaN, that is a huge performance penalty.

I think it can happen in every big company, you always have pockets of great culture and absolutely terrible culture once you reach a certain size.

But I agree, it's a definite overgeneralisation to say that all big companies are terrible everywhere.

Having worked for very small companies, and very big companies, there's very much pros and cons to both.

In a small company, culture is far easier to nurture and guide consistently across the entire company.

But then, in a small company, you're also far more likely to meet nepotism based hiring - "my wife's friend who has worked nothing but retail needs a job, and we need an HR manager" .

And also far more likely to work for CEOs who make decisions that adversely impact employees lives dramatically, because they were in a mood, with few, if any, checks and balances.

After all, the new HR manager is a close friend of their wife, their families have been holidaying together for years, and they don't want to jeopardise that friendship by going against the CEO.

I'm not saying that these don't exist in big companies, but generally they have more people in the mix who can say "hmm, let's hold up a second on this".

And to be fair to small companies, they're great for moving into new positions.
This is not a good take, what you described applies to every single person in the world with a job. The correct reason sex work is a complex subject is because it involves human trafficking.
Subsequent versions of bash are GPLv3 “encumbered”. Apple as an organisation have decided that the best way to avoid potential licensing issues with GPLv3 is to avoid GPLv3, which appears to be part of the intent of GPLv3. Tell me, who is hurting consumers of software? I will accept that Apple is partly to blame - they could be, and should be more open and perhaps contribute more, or at least follow Google’s lead and use it as marketing. But the GPLv3 is a burdensome license that even the star of the movement has rejected. That is holding back OSS as much as anything else. Making it commercially hard to use the software isn’t helping adoption or contributions.
