I would pay this to kill the promoted tweets. I know it sounds super tin-foil hat but in the days or weeks leading up to Twitter's earnings reports the promoted tweets are absolutely out of control. This year I took screenshots of my feed where out of 14 tweets 10 were promoted!
The pledge of a real engineer

The bridge must not collapse
The plane must not crash
The software must not harm or fail

Software has most degrees of freedom and reach,
so the engineering has to be an even higher quality.
Every time Julia pops up I can't help but get disappointed all over again. I was so intrigued by multiple aspects of the language, and even the type system seemed promising at first. However the inability to subtype concrete types is a total dealbreaker for me.

Everything else - even much of the type system - is extremely interesting. However the inability to subtype concrete types means you are essentially stuck with the unfortunately common inability to trivially specify how the heck your program is modeling your problem.

I just want the ability to specify an Apple_Count is not an Orange_Count without having to define my own damn operators. Why do so many languages make this so hard?

And Julia was so close, until one little sentence moved it so far away.
Right but when it comes to questions of placebo, the belief is what matters.
Curious to see how different that's going to be from things done in the Second Life craze years ago.
Well with ssh usually you need to configure which keys are allowed per user so maybe `~/.tailpam_authorized` with either user, group, or ip (similar to tailscale config) could control access per user.

Alternatively, now that it's authenticated securely enabling password for authz could work maybe?
Here's an article on the nuclear plant specifically: https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/how-and-why-a-n...
There are are lots of them. OS/database design, new computer graphics, robotics, embedded. For example, I just checked front page of HN -- there are 2 submissions which involve non-trivial CS algorithms: "you.com" search engine, and "ancient secrets of computer vision" course.

Even if the primary output of the organization of the website, there are still places for algorithms -- for example one of my friends is involved with bringing data science algorithms into "production" -- while initial experiments can be done in the Python with Jupyter notebook, you often need to rewrite the algorithms into high-performance language of your choice.
“value” is ambiguous. Prices are set via supply and demand. In this case we see that students gravitate to certain manors more than others, and may not take into account future job demand. Many students may be following a lottery ticket model of buying the best education simply for a chance to participate in a particular job market.

If student preferences were different we could easily be bemoaning low value engineering majors, doctors or lawyers.

If student preferences are disconnected from long term utility then it's unlikely for University costs to normalize on utility. Increasing the costs for high utility majors would result in yet higher prices for those with the majors skills - decreasing prices for low utility majors will simply lower income potential in those majors.
Any tips on getting the first one? How was your algorithms prep?
That's a great point. Potentially they could implement regular replacement of nodes to obtain the benefits of de-fragmented pools.
Stop working for NZ companies. Look for remote Aussie ones. I would tell you to look for remote US ones, but I haven't cracked that code yet.

>I was suggesting good engineers may be being filtered due to duress in the interview being caused by poor tooling.

Ah, well said, and I agree. If I don't have Vim keys I'm about 5x slower, so I can imagine how someone used to a certain setup is equally handicapped in an artificially constrained interview process.
I would definitely ding someone and think less of them if they claimed to be a senior engineer but couldn't remember how to write a switch statement in Java/C++. If you have to look things up you work slower and you don't understand nuances of e.g. what types can be used in switch statements in what language which limits your design skills.
We were looking at using something like this for a hacked together solution. The customer had field equipment that could not be replaced. It communicated back to a gateway via some protocol via 900MHz radio (from what I recall not one of the common ones). The customer found a new gateway that could aggregate the signals, but it only spit out some open TCP data stream. Our equipment is traditionally industrial, so it only supports industrial protocols (modbus, modbus tcp, EthernetIP, etc). It’s also not programmable at a low level (all drivers developed by the application developer).

We had used node-red in non-GMP environments before, but this was very much a GMP environment. What we figured out was that it would be impossible to qualify and validate the code base by any means that would satisfy QA.

So…great for labs and pre-manufacturing (development) where you have a bunch of skids or equipment that talk different protocols, but a difficult to use in any validated environment.

Now, being open source, it would be great if someone took the base application and built the other tools around it that would make it great for manufacturing where there are more strict regulations. Maybe Siemens is headed that way since they are rolling it.
At the advent of the iPhone, I was 100% all-in on the Apple ecosystem. However, the lack of sideloading pushed me to Android and over time I've become more and more satisfied with that choice, even though I rarely sideload applications.

I want my operating system vendor to protect me by building in strong, granular controls over my software and making it easy for me as a user to control my application software. Apple has done that with iOS (yay!) but those capabilities have little to do with the App Store review process, which is used to collect rent and block competitors to their services business model. Apple leadership continues to be disingenuous in conflating these two things.
Open carrying isn't "conduct of a type likely to provoke others to attack". If you see someone simply walking down the street with a rifle in Wisconsin, you can't just whip out your own gun and start blasting. Even if they turn out to be a felon or underage, the conduct itself isn't a provocation, and generally it's perfectly legal.
Don’t you just treat the range as half-open? Eg a '[)' range in Postgres.
Um, what upgrade treadmill? This argument is so tiresome.

Apple's products consistently last longer and hold their value much longer than the competition. That is the exact opposite of an "upgrade treadmill". I've used various Apple devices for as long as 8 years or so, then sold them to others who kept using them.

In addition, this entire thread just blew up today:

If those are right, then logically so are these: "it's too late to curb climate change", "it's too late to act on climate change", etc. See the problem?
reasonable if it's a systemic failure, but the company did notify the US Navy when it found out (though deflected the actual cause). sounds more like a rogue employee.

disproportionately severe penalties will have the opposite effect in future cases- as people will do more to hide faults than reporting them.

The biggest tell on Twitch, Youtube, or anywhere else is something to the effect of "good vibes only" with ruthless, draconian, chilling-effects enforcement.

Top-tier universities and corporate coworkers also exhibit this tendency where it's "happy", phony, shallow, cocktail party-attitude interactions and smalltalk. It's mentally unhealthy.

The alternative isn't toxic negativity, but nuanced, real life spanning the gamut of human experience.

Then Congress has to pass a law to make it illegal.
Security. I'm a die hard Firefox user. But chromium has insanely good site isolation and some other great security features. It was built with privilege separation in mind almost since day one, something Firefox does not do. My source here is OpenBSD devs, who said that Chromium was easy to sandbox with pledge+unveil, because for the most part the code was already written in such a way (to separate privileges). Firefox was a pain to sandbox, because its code is not written in the same way.

Firefox is only now catching up in regard to site isolation.
hi, thanks ! its easier to read a single static site within vim. It lost the power when the page contain many links.

Yep, as a long time unity user I really think Unity is just spaghetti all the way down to it's core. The number of strange memory leaks and graphics bugs you find once you really get into the engine is appalling.
Frankly, it's probably the worst software I've ever had to develop on, and was a huge reason I ended up leaving VR/AR development and just went back into regular software engineering.

This is a tangent, but I have been thinking a lot about why Unity is valued so highly and maybe it makes sense. I wasn't quite old enough to even stand at this point, but based on what I've read, Unity does actually seem similar to .NET + Microsoft early monopoly on certain software stacks. That is, it was horrible to use, but did address a niche.
Someone called this to my attention in terms of making engineering interviews more fair, and there are some overlapping points, particularly with not biasing your interviews based on tooling:

Indeed that's just another example of why I'm always saying the media is manipulated trash (said same thing on here for years ..always gets downvoted)!

The pizza parlor pedophilia thing on the opposite side omg lol

If your intelligent turn off all for profit media and enjoy your life far from it! Otherwise your letting yourself be fooled by greed/money/deception that manipulates the media or the media's own purposeful misinformation.
The ability to sideload apps has nothing to do with that though.
Wake up really early. You'll be too tired to sleep late. On the days you're up until 5, stay up until night.

It'll hurt a lot the first day you do it, but the next day should be fine. Yes, that means waking early on a weekend and being a zombie for the whole day.

I tried everything else as well for years, and it fixed my sleep problems in a day, every time.
> "By comparison, the US uses 12,500 TWh of electricity daily"

I was suspicious of your numbers so I did a bunch of math and then realized you're using the European comma rather than a decimal. So 12,500 means 12.5, not 12500.

(EIA.gov says the U.S. used about 3.8 trillion kilowatt hours in 2020 [1]. 3.8 trillion kilowatt hours equals 3.8 billion megawatt hours, equals 3.8 million gigawatt hours, equals 3.8 thousand terawatt hours per year or 10.4 twh per day. If we figure the U.S. has about a hundred million households and divide 3,800 twh by that, we get 38 megawatt hours per household per year. This is a very rough estimate, as it doesn't include industrial/commercial/government users. If we divide by 365*24 to cancel out the time units, we get an average consumption of .004338 MW or 4.338 kilowatts per household. That sounds about right.)

Current battery production is only just barely getting started. China dominates production of LFP cells (which are ideal for grid storage) because of patents which are expiring, so hopefully we'll see more production outside of china in the near future.

LFP cells aren't bottlenecked by nickel or cobalt, and so the main resource constraints I believe are lithium, aluminum, and copper which are all quite a bit cheaper and available in bigger quantities. I think prices are expected to eventually settle somewhere around $80 per kwh of capacity for the cells, and I don't think we're that far off that now. (LFP may eventually be displaced by something else, like lithium sulfur or solid state batteries or something, but I think LFP is probably good enough.)

Maybe lithium or copper will become bottlenecks and prices will rise. Let's say prices do hold at about $80 per kwh. Maybe we'll round up to $120 per kwh to account for pack construction, a building to store the batteries, inverters, chargers, and so on. If the average U.S. adult-aged person uses about 2kw on average, then they need 48kwh of storage for 24 hours. That would be about $5760. If we amortize that over ten years, it's about $48 a month. That's kind of expensive, but it's within the realm of what can be done without assuming any major technological breakthroughs. We probably don't need 24 hours of storage, though, if we have enough renewable energy over-production and backup fossil fuel plants to use in extreme situations.

The realization that industrial processes are dangerous, that power generation is an industrial process, and therefore dangerous, and that the only meaningful way to measure the danger of an industrial process is by comparing it to that of another industrial process should contribute to the understanding of some.

Is nuclear power generation dangerous? Yes. Is all power generation dangerous? Yes. How dangerous is nuclear power generation compared to alternatives? Not very.

It's pretty accurate to say that nuclear fizzled due to FUD. The conversation ended after the answer to the first question was 'yes'.
The game looks similar to Rocket Bunnies (which I think might not be available anymore or isn't maintained since the developer has closed shop): https://youtu.be/m0fuRys9plo

The OP even admitted he hasn't given any thought to monetization, which almost certainly means that this is another dime-a-dozen startup with a built-in exit strategy.

How can there be "self-regulation" on a platform that is "unstoppable, uncensorable, undeplatformable"?

I certainly agree that there are plenty of valuable forums that are not run by tech giants, but they function because they have dedicated moderation and censorship. The trouble is that the set of things I think people should be allowed to say is extremely large, but set of things I want to see in a forum or any sort of social media is much smaller. It doesn't have to be Jack Dorsey at the helm, but someone has to be sweeping up the filth to make a forum a place I want to interact with.
My view is that people are too interested in making political hay with climate change to actually do something about it. It's better to have a vague threat you can roll out to get votes (I mean this for both sides) than just getting on with some action.

Technological solutions that provide for where we are in human progress are really the only non-partisan way to proceed. This means getting over the evidentiary burden (i don't care of there is some chance climate change is not happening or not caused by humans) and looking at energy solutions as you've mentioned as well as carbon capture solutions.

Fighting in the weeds about which study says what is irrelevant, and trying to walk back from human progress and implement some kind of climate socialism is an obvious non starter, so let's tackle this as a technological solution that is within reach, and get on with it. Unfortunately, this doesn't really increase any one/groups immediate power, so nobody advocates for it

Yes I'm not denying that it causes people stress. Just putting my thoughts in.

I think because I'm not stressed about it I'm definitely in a position of privilege. There are people who could not work during lockdowns - and I can completely understand why such people would be stressed. Not being able to make a living, and not knowing what's to come.
> By names aren't unique, I mean with respect to "encoding", everything is the same. It seems like you're using "encoding" to mean something it doesn't? Do you just mean like "value"?

I think the GP means character encodings.

So the intent here is to ask whether (for example) a foo defined in a ISO 8859-1 encoded file is overidden by a foo imported from a Windows-1256 encoded file.

Ketamine also. It's already approved.

I would prefer all drugs were legalized as in Portugal and regulated because it's impossible for a consumer of illicit drugs to verify their contents and it would cut off criminal profiteering, violence, and the police-prison-industrial-complex from some funding too.

Good. It's more virtuous to sustainably produce than to endlessly consume.
Creating patches out of commits and commits out of patches is trivial in Git. I don't see what patch based systems bring more except more complicated algorithms. In the end I want to checkout revisions. Maybe they are equivalent is some respects, but then Git works, is fast and is widely supported by various tools and extensions and if you take one or two hours to learn the documentation is actually intuitive.

The art itself has value even if all the copies are equally "original", interchangeable, and superabundant.

System76: A Case Study on How Not to Collaborate with Upstream
I’d never hire someone like you on my team. Sorry. You are troubleshooter: concocts something together that kind of works until they leave for their next job leaving others “with actual experience” to design solution properly. No thanks. I’ll pay for professionals rather than for someone to learn on the job, at my expense (I own the company) and deliver half backed solutions. I’ve been writing code since I was 10 (I learnt from my father, who was a developer in the 60s) and I am staggered by the lack of modesty among the new generation of developers. They all think they know so much but in my opinion when compared to the old guard they know jack. Which is fine, since they are younger - but yet, so arrogant.
Even if the research itself is legit, it's a meaningless summary. It just means: we labeled an arbitrary subset of the range of possible outcomes as "worst outcome", and ran simulations on a series of hypothetical future economic policies. The first model that crosses into our arbitrary boundary is labeled "acting 11 years from now."

I have a hard time appreciating such headlines, when the boring truth is no less terrifying: We're in deep shit, we're constantly dumping more shit into the pool we're in, and every shit we're throwing in now, we will have to pay more later to get out of.
> The difference between 0% and 0.1% is exactly that kind of "binary, black-or-white, yes-or-no question", and I replied accordingly. How exactly does this support what you said a couple of posts back: "Absolutely nobody has been asking you for "intense precision" in numerical terms. We're asking for a qualitative motivation for the particular numbers you're making up"?

It's as simple as that, yes: What makes you think the difference is between 0 and 0.1 -- HOW do you know it's not a matter of 99.9 vs 88.8?

And why are you so stubbornly refusing to answer that point?

I think I know: Because you don't. You just made them up. Right?
