Years ago I read a letter to an advice columnist that has stuck with me. The writer was debating going back to college and said something like "If it takes me four years to finish my degree, I'll be 50 when I'm done!"

The columnist's response was "And how old will you be in four years if you don't go back for a degree?"

Even if it takes you ten years doing it part time on the side, you'll be further ahead than if you never did it, and even if you never finish a degree you can still take some classes in the areas that are interesting to you.
This is not untrue.

With complete respect, I feel I must add however: Society on the other hand did not do the best it could have done – sheltered and cared for the people in this situation. It isn’t even efficient at any scale or context to just let it ride like this. This breaks people. Grief and burnout burns people up.

They shouldn’t have had to keep powering the treadmill, shouldn’t have to had to do anything to ensure insurance coverage didn’t run out. Earnestly and calmly speaking, I honestly think it’s most useful to view the practice as… barbaric.
A quick search shows that NPR and the New York Times both covered this aspect of Mr. Grosskreutz' testimony. Covering additional details from the testimony is not lying.
More importantly, focusing narrowly on that fact detracts from the fact that Mr. Rittenhouse had already shot and killed two other people that night. Mr. Grosskreutz' pointing of his gun, whether intentional or not, is not what turned Mr. Rittenhouse into a killer.
> why there are redesigns over and over and over

Because they aren't building UIs to be useful for pleasant for users anymore. Once these data-driven companies have enough users locked in, they begin optimizing the user interface to manipulate user behavior for profit. They shift from helping you do what you want to manipulating you into doing what they want you to do.

It's actually gotten so bad that open source software with it's notoriously unpolished interfaces is actually starting to be the better, more useful and more aesthetic option, without having improved much at all.
> My assumption is that it keeps people employed, even if they aren't necessarily needed.

I'd say more that they keep people relevant, particularly architects and CTOs. You can't go in front of the board and say "Everything is great and we're keeping it just the same!" You can't say that in front of the CEO, you can't say that in front of the investors. You have to keep selling the idea that Big Changes Are Coming and Our Userbase Will Increase.

So you add bloat that nobody wanted and credit anything good that happens to it.

I work for a company based in a foreign land and while there are downsides, one of my biggest reliefs was to find that there is very little interest in 'change for the sake of change'.
>> OKRs are tactical objectives that help you achieve your strategic goals.

While I agree that any distinction of strategy vs tactics was missing in the blog, I think the ORKs are too high level to qualify as tactics. Tactics are directly actionable. In that light, he may be wrong about OKRs not being strategy - they just need someone to figure out the HOW for each one and then it should all come together.
YouTube didn't start removing conspiracy and culture war videos until advertisers started boycotting them back in 2017/2018 for having such content.

YouTube has only recently started making a profit. If they didn't censor videos they'd be unable to pay for the servers, storage and bandwidth that everyone seem to feel entitled for.
That won't happen because I'll be doing it faster on a geared bike ;)
The only thing they need from viewers is eyeballs. Truth and facts don’t get you eyeballs, outrage and propaganda do.

It is insanely hard to present only facts and be truthful and impartial. It is quite easy to pick a narrative and stick to it, damn the facts.

What you're talking about here is probably an "evening" or "professional" MBA. They definitely exist for fields other than business. My local high-ranking university offers about a dozen Professional Master's, including a well-respected Computer Science program. They usually have one Evening Bachelor's program of some sort as well (next year it's health informatics).

An Executive MBA is usually a very expensive rubber stamp for CEOs or VPs who clearly already have the skills an MBA would provide. The same university provides both an Executive MBA and a Global Executive MBA, which are 1.5 to 3x the cost and take substantially less time.
I'm not talking about adopting those of another language, I'm talking about L’Académie française changing the rules of the language, like they've done multiple times to simplify the language[1]. Do you find all these extra accents confusing? Most French people do as well, and most people do not use them correctly anyway (even in writing). It's not just French people, my SO is Romanian and they have the same issue and will often omit their special characters when writing.

I should probably clarify and reword. I don't think mothers are explicitly forcing themselves out of maternal leave - I'm saying that it's not culturally acceptable to do so. The cultural implications are that you will likely miss out on job opportunities and thus wage increases.

The cultural components manifest themselves different ways:

As a biz owner: Why would you give a raise to someone who hasn't contributed anything to the company in the last 2-4 months?

As an employee: how would you (man or woman) feel if your equal peer didn't contribute anything for 2-4 months and got the same raise as you?
It works very well for Norwegian too.
That’s not exactly correct whilst it does there mainly to allow for higher densities and frequencies it’s designed to prevent bit flips from happening on chip.

It’s not end to end ECC as in it doesn’t prevent flips that happen on the bus or in CPU cache but it does prevent single bit errors on DRAM.
If you rotate your wallpaper every week or so it actually ends up being a pretty cool visual indicator that's probably more memorable for some people than a drop-down menu would be.

Ideally we'd have both obviously. The big issue with it for me is that it has a timeline on the right with each backup by date so you don't have to do the stacked windows, but there's no labels to indicate the span of dates. It only has a label on dates when you had backups but there are no labels to orient yourself in time when you start rolling back.
I had forgotten entirely about Eye-Fi. Excellent point!

When it comes to physical access, especially with shared physical devices, there's always going to be some type of attack vector, however small it may be.
> I don't believe it's the government's job to hand out money to people in need. I think private charities and churches do a lot better job of spending it than a bureaucratic government, and the auditability of where the money goes is way, way more transparent so long as you're not dealing with a shady organization (which you can easily vet).

There are many "popular" charities for which auditing is as far from transparent as can be, where the majority of their spending never reaches the target audience. To the point where this is the _norm_.

Government programs, on the other hand, are required to account for every dollar spent, and issue regular public reports.

How would one go about vetting the Salvation Army's spending, for example? They say they have regular independent audits, for none of those are public. So when they say 82% of donations go to the intended target, you must simply trust them.
This surprised me and so I wanted to check it out, but I think you're incorrect about this. I checked a number of shows shot in the last 15 years (The Expanse, The Wire, Schitt's Creek, Squid Game, Star Trek: Discovery, Foundation, New Girl, Community, Westworld), and every single one of them is either 24 fps or 23.976 fps in the versions available for streaming on the web.

Watch the online videos for freshman/sophomore CS courses and do the homework/projects (very important) from the corresponding textbook/course. Plenty of options exist: MIT OCW, etc.

If you have enough willpower to do that (and most people won't no matter how strong their regrets are), only then consider going back to college and even then a reputable online program would probably be your best bet.
Somewhere they mention that even just DDR3 is immune from this, because the chip is not "crammed" enough to be susceptible to this attack.
Yes, the tone of those blogposts, the likelihood of fake benchmarks submitted on someone else's behalf and especially the deluge of new accounts supporting them makes me want to trust Databricks even less than the PoC my company ran with them last year and spending time with their terrible, terrible salespeople.

EDIT: I forgot lying about how open they are when all their interesting technologies (like the new sql engine and the good parts of delta) are proprietary.
Sort of. You can stop using Databricks service, and keep using Delta lake. But Databricks code is not open. Delta Lake is not equivalent to Databricks delta. The value prop is that customers, if they choose to not retain databricks service, can migrate off databricks and still use the open source version of delta lake, which again, is not as good as databricks delta.
I guess you could call the Key Results tactics.
Very impressive work. Was there a deadline that you were trying to meet? What was the reason for the all-nighters?
This is not a full-blown hash function, just a mixer, like in murmur. It hashes only a single word, not a buffer. Haven't yet checked how good it is, but it's definitely a bit slower than fnv1, and faster than murmur. Will add it to smhasher soon, as soon as I get the unaligned part written. So far it doesn't look too good.

If AMD wanted to sell more in this space, wouldn't it pay to support the code which runs in this space? Intel and nvidia are masters of funding compiler and tool chain and even applications stacks to work on their dice. Reading this article and here, I get the impression AMD hasn't entirely mastered how you need to sell the gateway drugs as well as the hard stuff, to sell more of the hard stuff in the end.
That's an argument that has been made yes.
> I think at this point we can just expect this stuff.

It'd be interesting to have a poll of the people defending YouTube back when they started taking a political stance and see if they think that a line has been crossed somewhere between there and here, or if this is still the sort of behaviour they expect from YouTube.

It seems that YouTube has taken a firm stance against being a knowledge repository a la Wikipedia or Google Search.

Although I do want to protest politics by Tweet. There is nothing here to really discuss; we don't know why, or even if, YouTube is suppressing commentary of the Rittenhouse trial or what Rekieta thinks about it. Tweets are too shallow.

> This expects that the rest of us have to work to subsidize you having children

We can obviously unpack all the ways that this is abused, but generally speaking children are necessary for the continuation of the species. Children are also absolutely a burden on the parents, physically, emotionally, and financially.

So yes, broadly speaking, I would expect the childfree to disproportionately contribute into a societal pool to offset for the fact that they are existing in human society but not contributing their part to it's ongoing propagation.

Ultimately though, you're right - no parent should expect to have the same lifestyle as their childfree counterpart. Not with free time, disposable income, or even day-to-day "happiness".

> Both of my parents had jobs when I was growing up. Why are we suddenly expecting this to change?

Mine too. Here's what I think has changed: in that era (and for much of human history), it was assumed/expected that it "took a village" to raise children. Families stayed closer together - the previous generation was around to help with childrearing. And in general, communities took care of everyone's children in a pool that would be considered completely outlandish today. Heck, the concept of a Wet Nurse [1] is something that would probably explode most people's minds today. I bet at least one person will read this comment and not realize that this was something that was completely ubiquitous and standard for much of human history. Can you imagine that existing today? It would be inconceivable. Not that we need it since the advent of formula, but the point is simply that societies helped take care of children more in the past than they do now.

Today, people move further from home from work (losing direct family access), have children later in life (less energy to contribute/harder to tradeoff career responsibilities), and build fewer local community social bonds (online relationships may be meaningful but they don't help babysit).

I don't think we have adjusted accordingly yet.

Pretty sure it was just automatic and based upon the fact that they are using the same feed, but let's not let reason get in the way of finding our conclusions when they can just confirm how we want to feel.
Is there even a single machine in the supercomputer top 10 that uses AMD GPUs?

I see NVIDIA all over the place there but I'm not aware of any of them using AMD GPUs, though a couple do use AMD CPUs.
And every time you say it, you're almost certainly wrong if it's about anything but a proof of concept. Every single "I can do that in a weekend" post I've ever seen basically ignores all the complexity of software development and would result in a completely useless system except for, at best, the optimal happy path.

They could in principle. GCP, for instance, does do that. So does HP. And Databricks don't mind that as they have a strong open source legacy. But that takes away the proprietary lock-in strategy of Snowflake.
You don't strictly need mass consensus for a softfork.

Taproot is a softfork, which means a tightening of the rules. There are basically a set of placeholder script types, that are currently undefined by the network ruleset. By being undefined, you can basically add whatever garbage you want, and it will technically be valid.

So, blocks that are mined now with taproot transactions are still considered valid by nodes and miners that haven't upgraded or don't support the change. Their nodes just see these transactions as unintelligible garbage, but still permissible.

However, the risk these nodes take on by not upgrading support, is that they might receive a block, assume it's valid even though there are transactions they don't understand, but in fact are invalid taproot transactions and rejected by the upgraded network. This is a much greater concern for miners than regular nodes, because miners have severe economic risks associated with incorrectly assuming an invalid block is valid, whereas non mining nodes don't have as great of a risk, because they generally wait for several confirmed blocks before assuming their transactions were confirmed.
Yep /batch is definitely the way to go! But feel free to reach out to support and we can take it from there.
Get the undergrad so you have the option to do a masters later. Options for any financial independence are a) go to school, b) start a business, or c) become a talent star of some kind.

Are you c? Probably not. Do you have a b in you and given it's a 3-5 year project for most people, are you more likely to succeed at it right now than when you get out of school? Maybe, timebox 3-6mos and do your current dream startup, and when it fails you will know whether you're ready to do it again.

If you can afford to do a) it's a supreme privilege to spend years in school, and you get out the other side with one less giant constraint.

(Didn't finish undergrad either, 20+ years in tech, didn't go back to school because it was always to meet other peoples expectations, and didn't finish because ego insisted succeeding in spite of a self-imposed handicap showed how special I was. It's literally as dumb as it sounds.)

If you don't have a degree, it may have little bearing on your individual talent or ability, but you will always be assigned to work for only the dumbest people who do have one, and they will be your ceiling. This is the random sign from the universe you are looking for. Do it.

It's possible that some large corporations have decided that appearing to publicly support one ideology or another will be good for business.

It's not even just that. Earlier this year, the White House admitted it had a line to Facebook and presumably other social media companies so that it could tell it which stories to censor.
