As long as the ventilation is good, I don't care about the windows -- the idea is that you should use your bedroom for sleeping at night, and go socialize and learn about things elsewhere.

I suspect that a lot of night-owl students will actually appreciate the lack of windows and roommates -- they'll sleep better.
The reason just-in-time is to blame, is that JIT assumes you have a reasonably stable flow (yes, I worked in manufacturing where we studied JIT a lot). Yes, it was a shift from services to goods that provided the current shock, but it was JIT that meant the system could not adapt to shocks. If you have no buffers (or very small ones), then you cannot quickly adapt.

If you put a vase on top of your car and drive away, it's irrelevant which bump in the road causes the vase to fall off; it was bound to fall off eventually. The global supply chain was optimized for efficiency, to the point of fragility, and whether it was a pandemic or a war or something else, a shock was coming eventually. With climate change, we can expect more frequent weather-induced changes in the future. A supply chain which cannot handle frequent, large changes is too fragile, and that's what's wrong with JIT.
The issue is that these declarative languages (SQL, Terraform, Cisco IOS...) abstract away the loop. Sure it's tedious to do the same operation to 1000 servers, but computers are good at loops. And computers can help write loops. At previous jobs we had tools that would generate lists of servers based on different parameters and then you could pipe that list to a command to do some operation across the whole list. But it gave you the chance to generate the list first and make sure that it looked accurate. If you were expecting to update the 10 webservers but there are 1000 lines in the file, you know something went wrong. I suppose the other issue with these languages is that they often substitute a lack of a list for "everything" instead of an empty list that does nothing.
Indeed. From the linked articles above:

> Because the doors to the stairwells and exits were locked – a common practice at the time to prevent workers from taking unauthorized breaks and to reduce theft – many of the workers could not escape from the burning building and jumped from the high windows.

> Various historians have also ascribed the exit doors being locked to management's wanting to keep out union organizers due to management's anti-union bias. The foreman who held the stairway door key had already escaped by another route.

> Within three minutes, the Greene Street stairway became unusable in both directions. Terrified employees crowded onto the single exterior fire escape – which city officials had allowed Asch to erect instead of the required third staircase

> The toxic smoke, heat, and the resulting human rush toward the main exit killed 100; 230 were injured and another 132 escaped uninjured.

> By this time, the nightclub's fire alarm had activated, and although there were four possible exits, most people headed for the front door through which they had entered. The ensuing crowd crush in the narrow hallway leading to that exit quickly blocked the exit completely and resulted in numerous deaths and injuries among the patrons and staff.

> Twenty-five workers were killed and 55 injured in the fire, trapped behind locked fire doors.

> The majority of those who escaped unharmed were workers in the front of the building who left through the unlocked main entrance,

It seems clear that two entrances/exists are not enough, even if there is numerous of extra emergency exists. People will, in panic, return to the point they came from, even if emergency exists are highlighted.
I mean, compare SpaceX against, say, SLS, and it looks like a pretty cost-effective form of government spending.
I’m with you, but I’d go one step further. I’d like this setup for a work environment. Small, individual offices with doors, connected to a shared team room with a dedicated conference table. With such a setup, you can opt to isolate for some distraction free work, or socialize, working together around the shared conference table.

If I were UCSB, I’d build a scale dorm with the layout - (32-150) rooms, with real windows (that could be painted over initially to mirror the planned false window). Surely Munger’s donation doesn’t require the full size building to be completed in X years. Take his money, build the test - validate that it causes no psychological harm, calm the critics, and then build the full sized one.
It’s interesting some poker players before making a ridiculous bluff will look up and to the right.
Maybe it's because FF isn't configured to run with wayland? Check "window protocol" in about:support and make sure to run it with the MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 env var.
TRUNCATE in a few databases effectively drops the table, and recreates it.

If typing in an interactive session usually use a specific user account for it, with minimal set of privileges. And wouldn't have the DROP privilege or any other DDL statement privilege.
DDL would be scripted out, tested and ran using another user account that had only privileges on specific databases it needed.
Absolutely a favorite in our household. Regrettable that it requires a Facebook account.
is Actix distributed?
I worked in this office where there were windows, but I was really far away from any of the light they emitted. I'd get these pounding headaches every day until I moved to a different floor where I was closer to the window. It was a miserable place to work.
if a predicate depends on finitely many bits then you can exhaustively check whether it is total by enumerating all of it's possible inputs
Yes the patterns repeat every 15 integers.
So you only need to do one division operation, get the index modulo-15.

I was bored once at work and figured out a way to compute this without doing much arithmetic. It only requires 1 modulo operation.

for (int i=1; i<100;i++)
{
// make a bit vector with a 1 in ith bit, modulo 15.
unsigned int i_as_bitvector = 1 << (i % 15);
// Check it against the valid positions for FizzBuzz

// 0ctal 011111 is binary 1001001001001
// Octal 02041 is binary 10000100001
printf("%d ", i);
if (i_as_bitvector & 011111 ) printf("Fizz");
if (i_as_bitvector & 02041 ) printf("Buzz");
printf("\n");
}

I also have a version which has NO magic constants anywhere in the program, except 3 and 5. I'll post it if someone is interested.
> I would argue both political parties abhor freedom

Agree with you 100% there! It's just one of the parties claims to be the party of patriots and freedom - and they're not. Meanwhile, neither party can claim they're the party of freedom. As you pointed out, there are some freedoms each party supports and others they suppress. It just goes to show that freedom is still a terrifying concept to the political class!

What do you mean by quantifying to a single number?

Is there a product behind this or not?

What tools do hedge funds have and how do you have access to them?

Why ship a product that does that for consumers instead of opening a hedge fund where you use this as a competitive advantage? If this works as advertised, wouldn't it make way more sense to use it in your hedge fund as opposed to offer it as a product? Revenues from this in hedge fund >>>>>>>>>> revenues from this as a product? Am I missing something?
Warren Buffet himself calls it the "Shoe Button Complex"

Apparently from his youth, his Dad had a friend that ran a shoe button factory and managed to corner the entire market of shoe buttons. Then in his personal life went on to be a know it all about everything else on the planet.

Munger and Buffet both are pretty transparent about being so didactic though. If you don't want the strings attached to the money, say no.

It seems for me that this remote control using the X based protocol was never meant to be a feature. Probably the mechanism was created before D-bus existed, was meant to be dropped once a better solution was created, but never was done until now.

If anything else, D-bus seems to be the proper protocol for something like this, since as the author itself said, it is simpler and more reliable.
It seems like it is better in that the arbitrary suspension of your Facebook account for moderation purposes (which is, due to how moderation at scale with machine learning just doesn't work, inherently random) won't cause you to lose access to your Oculus content and paid media.

It's not a total win, probably, but part of the issue is that it's very unclear if you can have multiple redundant Meta accounts, what the ID requirements are for Meta accounts, what the process for appealing against moderation decisions for Meta accounts are, and what the terms of use for Meta accounts are.
I think this is really the most interesting part of the story. It is an impressive excoriation against the US Bureau of Prisons and its policies.

The US loosing an extradition case from its very closest ally because the US prison system cannot be trusted to keep even white collar "criminals" (loosely) alive would globally confirm that the US is a human rights violator.

Scroll up. I didn't say Zuckerberg wasn't successful. Indeed, I've been quite clear that Facebook was one very big success.

And for what it's worth, Einstein did a lot more than one thing. Off the top of my head, Einstein's annus mirabilis had 4 papers that were all major accomplishments, including the E=mc² equation popularly associated with him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annus_Mirabilis_papers

His work on relativity came later. As did a fair bit of other work, that I'm less familiar with but that I could easily look up and provide sources for.

And that's the kind of list I'm looking for here. People have claimed that he has other successes. I'm asking what they are. I've now given you the kind of list I wanted for Einstein, and I've given it elsewhere in this discussion for Steve Jobs. So will you give me that list for Zuckerberg? Because as far as I know it has one thing on it: Facebook.

> OpenBSD developers used to have development sprints and code check ins in Canada to work around US crypto laws.

Yip, I brought OpenBSD CD set back in that era (2.4 release!) and asked in the order if it included the crypto lib's and got a hand written note with shipment saying exactly why they ship from Canada and no worries. Believe it was Theo who wrote that as well. This was mid/late 90's era.

Maybe I should dig that out and pop into a museum of some sorts, as a bit of history and unique.
This is where you take a gamble and hire them, then ask them to leave if it really doesn't work. The chance you're giving up on a 10-100x leverage hire is just too high in such a case.
Yes, because that's literally what they said was the reason for doing so in the stream, but I agree that until there's more clarity here and an explanation of how the terms of a Meta account would work then that's only of so much use.
On android - yes.

Specifically I would sideload fdroid, and then install (free) apps from there since it doesn't need a login.

Or maybe I'd (say, on windows) "sideload" steam, and install apps from there instead of from Oculus.

The idea that the only place I can get apps from is the "official" appstore is ridiculous.
Also MacOS and Windows have “App Stores” that you certainly don’t need to be logged into.
I e done firmware development from home for over a decade. I need help once and a while from someone in the lab to push buttons or make connections or do reworks or whatever. But I have no trouble getting most of my work done from anywhere I have a half decent internet connection. The oscilloscope runs Windows and I can VNC to it. The (very old) logic analyzer runs HP-UX and connects to an X server to present its UI. We have network controlled relays and power supplies. We can get a lot done without physically being there.
oh, sorry, I know recent versions of Ubuntu come with Wayland by default
That’s not what that means. See [1] - “States will define as political crimes any behaviour perceived as a threat, real or imagined, to the state's survival, including both violent and non-violent oppositional crimes”

As in it’s political not because of party politics, but because it’s threatened the power of politically powerful people and agencies in the US establishment.

Does Meta provide a guarantee that data won’t be unified between Facebook and Oculus accounts ever? If not, what is the value of this distinction beyond PR?

You’re absolutely right, no one is a garbage human. Some people, though, treat the people and the environment around them like garbage, and that’s really frustrating to deal with, whether it comes from an arrogant rich man or a homeless addict.
I've worked at truck weight stations.

On multiple occasions we've had truckers come in to get their ticket for overweight trucks, and I've had to leave the room due to the smell.

We're not talking about, "Oh, I forgot to put on deodorant" or "we need to spray air freshener when they leave". It was "If I stay in here I'm going to start gagging".

Painting with a broad brush is bad. The vast majority of truckers were perfectly kind, clean, great people. But I don't think there is any demographic that I've interacted with that has had a higher percentage of offensive smells coming from them. So while I strongly disagree with the "No Truckers" rule, I can understand where the motivation could come from.
ucsb has a small housing problem and a bigger party image problem. there’s great dorms, probably some of the best in the country. not because they are nice, they are old and small, but they are close to the ocean. you can hear the waves crash from your room in most dorms

there’s only space for freshmen and some upperclassmen. the upper class dorms are reserved for honors or scholarships. everyone else moves out to isla vista (iv) after freshman year. iv is adjacent to ucsb

iv is a fucking amazing place. high density shitty housing that costs insane amounts. home to good parties. iv is so famous for partying it has lots of students for santa barbara city college too even though that’s a 20 min drive away. and people come from all over the country for this community college just to party

ucsb wants to shake its party image. halloween is so nuts in iv they do id checks just to enter, have mounted police, close down roads, etc. so getting more student housing away from iv will let them say we have options for students who don’t want to party.

but holy shit that dorm complex looks horrible to live in
According to Wikipedia, the name Microscope was derived from the earlier "Telescope", which in turn was coined shortly after the object was invented:

> Galileo's instrument was the first to be given the name "telescope". The name was invented by the Greek poet/theologian Giovanni Demisiani at a banquet held on April 14, 1611 by Prince Federico Cesi to make Galileo Galilei a member of the Accademia dei Lincei. The word was created from the Greek tele = 'far' and skopein = 'to look or see'; teleskopos = 'far-seeing'.

The primary source for this is "Rosen, Edward, The Naming of the Telescope (1947)".
Looking at this design, I feel like Munger should team up with Zuckerberg. You could probably fit 45,000 students in this if, instead of tiny windowless rooms, you just dipped all the students in a nice nutrient electrolyte broth and hooked their heads up to the metaverse. Think of all the collaboration that would happen!!
not really, smalltalk's "actors"[0]/objects are organized around data encapsulation principles. Erlang's "actors"[0]/processes are organized around failure domain principles. It's not unreasonable to go in one direction (making your data encapsulation match failure domains) but if you try to organize Erlang's "actors" around data encapsulation you will wind up with very shitty code (hard to read, hard to test, hard to debug, unnecessary performance regressions), unsurprisingly, because that is not what they were meant to be.

[0] I put actors in quotes because neither are true actor system, either. Nor were either designed to be, though if you squint they look similar.
Oh that sounds so great. I walk out the door to class, realize I forgot a pen, then get to take a 15 minute walk all the around the building just to get back up to my room. Wonderful
I'm still a big fan, personally, of ssh -YC - it works pretty efficiently with Eclipse and other simple GTK text based apps.

With Firefox, it doesn't work as well, and I can understand why. Browsers demand a lot of graphics acceleration. That said, you can still get decent performance by force-enabling xrender as long as they still support it.gfx.xrender.enabled;true

Personally, gonna be a bit sad when Wayland breaks all my things (my xdotool scripts, my ssh -YC, my XSDL on Android)

I'm arguing that "right" and "left" are a linear one-dimensional approximation of complex multi-dimensional beliefs.

I don't associate the far right with drug legalisation, women's and LGBT rights, the right to die, or direct democracy. Pim Fortuyn supported all of these. He was also rabidly bigoted against Muslims, in a way that intersected with his support for other minority groups. Political positions are complicated and sometimes you need more than two words to describe them.

Do you have any idea how criminally expensive housing is in SB??? This will provide low-cost accommodations nicer than any Ivy league dorm I've ever seen and enable 4500 people/year (or roughly 15% of Goleta CA) to live on campus. Good luck building that much housing off campus with CA Nimbys...

Why do you think it is dead? I have always thought that it is incomplete as a language, just give it time. Swift seems to be my cup of tea after years of Java and Typescript. I would really like to learn about these new features and apply them in a backend scenario. Julia is another language that did not catch up as people expected (especially the data science community) but I enjoy using it for my personal projects, that does not mean it is dead.

A blog [1] says the argument goes something like this: “The first $100,000 is a b*tch, but you gotta do it [...] I don’t care what you have to do—if it means walking everywhere and not eating anything that wasn’t purchased with a coupon, find a way to get your hands on $100,000. After that, you can ease off the gas a little bit.”

I had very low salary so I had to get multiple offers because for some reason no company gives acc to their payscale, they count pennies like a miser and give only 30%

However, when I landed an offer at a non service company, I stopped interview processes as I was ok with comp & with the company work & culture.

I cancelled 4 ongoing interviews and immediately wrote to my 2 other companies whose offers I had that I got a better offer.

The ongoing interviews' HR said he'd give better salary but I was satisfied so I declined it.
