In a work of dystopian fiction it's very far away from "cringe worthy", as IRL there are already some women who have that preference.

Calling it cringe worthy is somewhat puritanical ...

To be clear, I never said it was dead, only a dead end.

As for GVT-g and Xe, according to a post in this[0] issue by one of the Intel devs, Rocket Lake (Xe) is not getting support and only does GVT-d.

Also in the same issue, someone pointed out that Intel themselves have states as much here[1].

I hope I am proven wrong in the end and GVT-g comes to then entire Xe and ARC lineup. Intel's communication on this matter has been...lacking.

Normal people don't type urls. They type "hacker news" into google and click on the first result.
but many large companies have too deal with multiple Unions anyway. a metal mill for example will have to deal with the teamsters for their truck drivers, united steel worker for anyone working the floor, Service Employees International Union for security guards and janitor, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers for the electricians the service any of the electrical equipment, and any of a number of unions for the office staff.
Well, look at me. I’m an immigrant. My wife’s useful skills would probably give her salary of about 5th of what we need, so she doesn’t work and takes care of the kid, house and engages in her hobbies, like making custom teddy bears.

If I were put on a project like that I can easily imagine being quiet about it as I put well being of my family waaaay above any ethics. I can imagine that a lot of people do.

So the only real way to solve it is robust regulation and good channels for whistleblowers.
The husband of the person you mentioned was already well off before she was in politics.

It did in europe and northern africa. English is spoken (“airport english” that is) pretty much across the whole world. Entire industries only communicate in english. It is the international language of the elites, very much like latin was at a much smaller scale. And it has already influenced other languages that regularly use english words, and that’s only after a century of influence.

Might be, but that will be because Microsoft wants it, with their own set of rules, just like Google, not because the community managed to achieve anything.

> Looking at the EU political landscape it seems that the green movement has doubled down on the model of using cheap renewables when the weather is optimal and cheap fossil fuels when it isn't.

This is a perfectly sensible approach for reducing greenhouse gasses as quickly and cheaply as possible.

It feels like they would be attacked if they took some high-minded but impractical approach and they get attacked if they're sensible and pragmatic in achieving their goals.

Already built fossil fuel plants that arent burning fossil fuels regularly are an ideal backup to fall back on when and if required. Why do you think this is bad?

The problem with the supersonic tips is identical for normal aircraft propellers.

For aircraft with fixed wings for generating lift, the propellers can be small, so supersonic speed is reached only at a higher rpm, but for a helicopter there is no difference from this point of view compared with an ornithopter.

The blades of a helicopter propeller must also be able to rotate along their longitudinal axis, like those of an ornithopter, but nonetheless they are more efficient than flapping wings, because there is no dead time and no energy lost for the reversing motions, and the fatigue resistance need not be as extreme as it would be required for flapping wings.

> I started losing a lot of sleep, and I got a lot

I started forgetting words and names and losing
the thread of a conversation mid-sentence. I felt
like I had no energy left for anything other than
work, and I could barely manage that.

Other than back pain these symptoms match mine exactly, except I hadn't worked full time for the past 2 years and I wouldn't say I'm stressed or anything. I'm not sure what it is - maybe cabin fever? Yesterday I nearly lost consciousness when I got up too quickly. I'm also losing weight (12kg so far, which would be great if I knew _why_ I'm losing weight). Did a blood test about a month ago - everything is fine. I did wonder if these are vaccine side effects, but that seems very implausible - the second dose was in May. But I digress.

I totally get what Jay is saying in his writeup. I largely felt the same way except in the opposite direction in one aspect - the number and shrillness of "activists" has become overbearing to the point where it was severely impeding work and morale. Seeing that he has pronouns in his twitter bio he might have been more sympathetic, but I bet this stuff distracted even him.

Contrary to belief popular on the outside, Google is indeed a fairly stressful and thankless place unless you're skilled at self promotion, which I'm not, or you don't care about working on cool things and getting promoted. This is why every time their recruiters ping me I tell them I'm not interested "at this time". No matter how much they pay me, I can't imagine subjecting myself to such treatment again. And I was pretty successful there - high profile projects, wrote lots of code, shipped impressive stuff, and I still felt like shit most of the time. I can only imagine what less "forceful" folks feel if I felt like a gnat on this elephant's ass.

Contrary to belief popular inside Google, life is great on the outside. Freedom is a thing folks, and without moving around you aren't experiencing it. I know when you're on the inside it feels like you're "changing the world", but of all Google products nowadays I only use Gmail and YouTube. If everything else disappeared completely I wouldn't even notice. Heck, if Gmail disappeared I'd switch to Proton Mail in a day, and if YouTube disappeared there's BitChute and Rumble which are modest, but adequate. So whatever you're "changing" there impacts me very little, and mostly in negative ways.

I certainly do not regret leaving. If anything I should have left much sooner than I did.
Thanks for sharing,

Below is a poem written in English 500 years ago (Speke, Parrot by John Skelton). The 'web' is less than 30 years old and any I think it's fair to assume that HTML and browsers won't exist in anything like the current form and English will have transmogrified into something unintelligible from current day English.

I'll preface this by saying that I'm not a blockchain expert, but from the comfort of my own armchair I consider that the main benefit over a regular SQL database is the fact that you don't need to make it secret and protect it.

There might be other methods for storing a well-ordered list of events in a difficult to tamper with but at the same time public repository, but I don't know of any.

Enjoyed your talk a lot!
Python is definitely the industry leader within network automation, and I agree the ecosystem of modules are a reason for that.
I had the talk on “how we provide better customer insights with tenant visualization using ACI”, and I spend most my days writing network automation code in Python. It is extremely rare I actually use tools like nornir or scrapli these days. Most things I need to automate, can be done through a north bound API provided by Cisco software, such as DNAC or ACI. Same goes for IPAM, integrations with Azure etc.
I write Ansible modules which AWX takes care off, and I use the AWX APIs to get job data.

In other words, I think we pretty much could write any language and it would solve most use cases.

The main issue with Prolog is not its syntax. Like scheme/lisp the syntax is dead simple once you get the hang of it.

The main issues are:

- The language is untyped. In some ways you get more power because it it untyped but then it becomes more difficult to build/understand/maintain/refactor larger programs

- Debugging the language is quite difficult. There are some really interesting videos/resources at the "Power of Prolog" [1] that give you tips on how to debug. IIRC many of those tips only apply to "pure" Prolog (a certain class of Prolog programs that don't do things like modify global state etc). Essentially you can keep making your Prolog goals more and more general to home into the bug.

But to answer your question, I am not aware of any "ReasonML" equivalent of Prolog. ReasonML just differs on the "surface" level with OCaml. The internal type system, compilation pipeline etc. is all OCaml. ReasonML as a project makes sense for the OCaml ecosystem because OCaml is typed language and has a sophisticated syntax. Prolog's syntax is SUPER simple. So its not really possible to have too much of a different take on syntax when it comes to Prolog.

In Prolog essentially we have

Head :-
Body

This could become transformed to:

if Body then Head

In other words, there is not much room for syntax innovation as there existed in OCaml when ReasonML came out as alternate (surface) syntax.

You have other languages like Mercury which try to be a typed version of Prolog. They are significantly different languages in their own right so I wouldn't classify them in the "ReasonML" equivalent category.

Yeah, so every unsubscribe link I tried led to a page that's convoluted (likely on purpose, like GDPR cookies) and it was hard to actually unsubscribe.

That was quite a while ago tbf. Since then, I just mark everything as spam.

I just tried to unsubscribe from Twitter and... I need to login to my account. That I never used. To unsubscribe to spam I never signed up for (Twitter did not send these kinds of "come back" emails before).

Also Gmail for Android doesn't let me search through specific folders anymore. It's just "Search in mail". Idiocracy.
"OS-native look and feel" - +1 on being overrated. In most cases, I use programs, sometimes with diverging methods for doing common things, but it's not a deal-breaker. If you are not familiar with how a complex piece of software works and you need to use it, you have a bigger problem than if the UI seems a little different than other applications on the platform or if a few keybindings are different than expected.

We work in the programs that we use primarily. Browsers are one such example. I wonder if they break OS UI guidelines; websites themselves certainly do. The only issue is if the look and feel is good enough on desktop applications. KDE makes things look consistent even with non-KDE/Qt programs, so I am happy enough.

Possibly cost. But also suspensors only seem to give lift, or very small amounts of lateral thrust. All the pure suspensor vehicles we see move extremely slowly. It's possible the 'thopters use suspensors for primary lift, maybe 80% of vehicle weight, and the wings are just for manoeuvring lift and thrust.

> Which employers are the “nice company making nice things and you’ll be able to sleep at night” tech companies nowadays?

The smaller ones.
The issue with that is that interviewers are just as contemptible as candidates. They do not have 10 spare brain teasers to ask. If you tell them "you know this one" they'll either just lie or say (technically truthfully) that they "haven't been able to assess your ability".

So for candidates, the fraudster approach is really the only one.

>And tanks work just fine in the desert, as has been amply demonstrated in the Middle East all the way back to Patton.

Tanks were being used to great effect by Rommel (and less successfully by others) for a long time before Patton graced the desert! In fact the battle of El Alamein where Rommel was severely pushed back was well underway when Patton landed. The Western Desert war began in mid 1940, Patton landed in late 1942.

This is basically mainstream teaching now (see critical race theory). It's like witch burning, if you don't agree with their claims and accusations then that only proves you are a sinner. And if you do confess, then Lord help you.

I must say though, it is a bit rich that Google suddenly doesn't like it when the monster they helped to feed turns on them.

The bits about the ad auction are all what I expected as a user...

Obviously they can adjust their fee up or down to further their interests. Obviously they have the right to set the 'floor' auction price, and can set it to maximize profits. Obviously they can take on business from Facebook, and limit how much they take on if they like.

It doesn't include stuff about their recent switch to first price auctions, which make many of these complaints moot. It's really hard to make a first price auction unfair.

Why was any of this a surprise?
The aversion to using force fields is more about their interaction with laser guns, when shot by one they cause an explosion equivalent to a small nuclear weapon. Not ideal to have wrapping a vehicle you may be flying in formation on an attack run.

I don't find your model of the paper ballot much safer than the one of voting through an electronic device. Yes the paper might say you voted for A, but the chain of interactions between you placing the vote in an urn and the vote being counted for A, is as long and as uncertain as in the electronic model.

You choose to trust the humans more, which is fine, but applications (or why not) devices with a well defined audit trail that they're doing what they're supposed to do are equally trust worthy (at least for me).
Another way to put it: people who like the title more than they like the job...
I can see at least five entirely separate units with very little synergy:

1. Search + Maps

2. GSuite + Gmail

3. GCP

4. YouTube

5. Android + Chrome

Each can probably support its own P&L sheet, other than perhaps the last (not sure about that one).

Such a move would surely limit innovation (I can’t see these smaller entities doing things like mobile ASIC development, although if TPU is under Search it would continue), but increase competition, especially in the ad market.
> The blockchain data will never be "optimized" or "disappear"

The former may or may not happen depending on how widely it is used, certainly not everyone will have the full blockchain on their devices due to storage requirements. The latter is a social issue not a technical one.

> Please take the time to learn how Bitcoin works before pontificating

One can definitely make an argument that Bitcoin will lose its social relevance in 100 years. Or 500 years. Or 1000 years. Do you see where i'm going with this?

Most of the OSes currently in use might not be relevant in a century. Most of HDDs or SSDs in use currently won't be around in a century, unless they're a part of an abstracted and clustered storage pool, which would take constant effort to maintain. Even short of the technical concerns, there is still need for social relevance - if and when it eventually ceases to be relevant, no one will care much about maintaining copies of the full blockchain, except for maybe in some museum archive.

Using a globally distributed store like that is a good idea, but it's definitely not foolproof. One of the better ways, perhaps, but maybe there are even better ones, that you or a foundation in your name controls, with properly sourced funding and preservation of data being its sole and primary concern.
And the very fact it survives makes it noteworthy - if archeologists found a collection of well preserved shitposts from 2500 BC it would be valuable - even if worthless when recorded.
