I'd be questioning why somebody without the proper qualifications was promoted to such a position. Have you heard of the Peter Principal? If not, go look it up. That's not a slight.

I once got "promoted" by way of the superior admin being let go. He'd set up the place so well that it maintained itself (to a point) and when he had a medical event that took him out a few weeks, things ran so well that they figured he wasn't needed anymore.

They stuck me in his position, which I was not ready for. Things got bad for me, and they tried to make it look like I was the bad guy when I quit a few months later.

Perhaps your circumstances are different, but you need to be 100% sure they're investing in you, not setting you up to be the fall guy.
Do you have any good links for starting points?

> while Fish has some nice out-of-the-box features, they’re all achievable in Zsh with a few lines of plugins.

The point of fish is that there is no configuration required.

You don't have to learn to configure it, you don't have to be part of "the community" to learn which plugins to use, you'll be able to sit in front of any fish prompt and have it work as expected without having to move dotfiles around.
So you are technically correct. Which is, of course, the best kind of correct.
Nebraska's agricultural land property taxes are 46 percent higher than the national average and most farmers pay 50 to 60 percent of their net income in taxes.

I wish the article included the percent of property taxes were assessed by the county and what percent by the state.

Sixty percent of Nebraska property taxes pay for schools.

Likewise, I'd like to know the breakdown of school funding, between county and state.
That's an odd take to me. I don't know about Carmack, but what makes you think JBlow want's people to code crazy hours? From what i hear from him he's mostly angry about the waste that goes on in "enterprises" and the focus on complex niche features over getting shit done.

Is it legal for YouTube to show you ads even if you paid for YouTube Premium ?

You pay 150 to 200 USD per year to not get any ads on YouTube, but still, in practice you get ads at the beginning of videos (example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F98wUD4A8QU).

These ads are baked inside the feed by the YouTube content creators and YouTube is aware of it.

To me it sounds like charging a subscription that doesn't deliver its basic functionality ?

SaaS Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals: 150 discounts for startups founders
This[1] is the new bill in US congress that he mentioned about subsidies. The "E-BIKE" act. It's a tax credit of 30% of the cost of a new ebike. The credit can't exceed $1,500. This changes slightly if you file jointly, but you can just read the bill -- it's short.

The author makes it seem like this bill a part of Build Back Better which just passed the House and is in the Senate now. But that's not what the bill timeline says.

Personally, I'm waiting for this before I commit to a RadRunner Plus.

Although I can't claim a long tenure in the software development field. One of my favorite tricks/rediscovered performance enhancer can be found in a similarity between very old-school self-modifying code, and modern day profile guided JIT optimizer.

I think I read somewhere that, at some point, it was all the rage to have self-modifying code that could patch conditional branch instructions into unconditional ones (I think it was used on game consoles to save space). These days profile guided JIT compilers (or even AOT compiler) will de-virtualize calls to increase performance, which to me looks like a really similar technique.

1. Non-smart TVs are being hard to find.

2. most devices to plug into TVs are underpowered for some applications, for example I tried to transmit games from my PC to such devices, and they all introduced too much artifacting and input lag, TVs tend to have a bunch of ASIC/FPGA alongside their general processor to handle video and thus can perform better.

3. computers that CAN handle the previous use cases, often are very expensive anywya, so... in a sense doesn't make sense anymore, for example I looked into this and concluded the "cheapeast" option would be a rpi4 with more RAM and SSD... at the prices here it made more sense to buy a actual x86 computer instead.

It's interesting that the incredulous replies to my comment have to resort to describing contrived situations that go beyond simple candid photography in public to harassment or other illegal acts to "prove" I can't possibly feel how I do.

There's this pervasive attitude in the comments for this article that having your photo taken in public is some major affront. I see people equating it with assault, even. That feels very "Internet tough guy" to me.

I feel like I've made the "Internet tough guys" unhappy by not falling in line behind them. They simply can't conceive that I wouldn't be "outraged" at the same things they are. That, too, "outrages" them, apparently.

My 32-years of experience suggests:

1. Don't do anything that you cannot undo. Like, copy the /etc/passwd before running vi on it. Or yelling at a user. Or upgrading software or operating system -- have backups.

2. Have the trust and authority of your manager. This needs to be negotiated in advance. Warn management of your steep learning curve and warn them to expect outages. Ensure you can tell users to wait because you have a priority list established with your manager. Remind users, if necessary, that they are not your manager.

3. Make a note, even if just by counting, every user request. For 100 users you might expect 50 to 200 requests per month. Be sure management sees this report. It is evidence to support additional hiring.

4. Learn customer service skills. Be able to stay completely calm in the face of the CEO screaming in your face. This requires a lot of "emotional IQ" and probably training and coaching. If you can achieve this level of zen-consciousness just 80% of the time you win.

All the other advice posted here also applies. The trick is to adapt the advice to the situation you face, and, when you make a mistake, quickly reverse course.

Good luck!

> I find it really hard to read anything because of the math notations and zero explanation of it in the context.

So many answers and no correct one yet. Read and solve "How to Prove It: A Structured Approach", Velleman. This is the best introduction I've seen so far. After finishing you'll have enough maturity to read pretty much any math book.
Everyone is talking about the Δ symbol, but the real problem that you'll encounter will be later in the paper where they start talking about H(ω), which is the Fourier transform of the impulse function (equation 4 and following). You'll need to know a fair bit about Fourier transforms and impulse responses and filter design to get through this section. The notation is the least of the problems.

One place to start is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_response
That's where the off switch on the socket should be used; another handy design feature!

6. Get certified. Sysadmin positions often are in the hot seat, the first to take the beating when the shit hits the fan (if that's what happened to your predecessor, it will happen to you), and a certification often helps landing a new job more than "assumed past experienced" will when it's time to pass the HR sniff test.

On the one hand, this site is a very cool look at something I genuinely enjoy studying.

On the other hand, it makes me despair a bit for the future of technology. Such simple tech! So many basically equivalent solutions! And we'll be stuck with this chaos for how long?

The only prospect I see for unification would be USB-C, which is going from 100W to 240W max, and maybe isn't done growing. But given the delicacy of USB-C connections, that's probably even worse. "Honey, is the TV broken?" "No, the USB-C wall plug just fell out again."
I've wondered the same thing about my television subscription. Even with streaming-on-demand of recent broadcasts, I can't skip though ads. They just won't sell me an ad-free service ... and TV costs me the same as Netflix.
> There's so much "pure" and "universal" about math, but the humans who write about it are too lazy to write about it in a rigorous manner.

Are you sure it's laziness? Maybe it's a result of there not actually being any universal notation (not even within subfields) or the exactness you refer to really isn't necessary. This doesn't mean that unclear exposition is a good thing. Mathematical writing (as with all writing) should strive towards clarity. But clarity doesn't require some sort of minutely perfectly consistently notation which would be required by a computer because humans are better than computers at handling exactly those kinds of situations.

> People can't be bothered to be exact about things because being exact is hard and people avoid hard work.

I think you have it wrong. People can't be bothered to be as exact because they don't need to. People can understand things even if they are inexact. So can mathematicians. Honestly this is a feature. If computers would just intuitively understand what I tell them to do like a human assistant would, that would be a step up not a step down in human computer interfaces.
Let’s not focus too much on the use of ‘monopoly’, but why we care about monopolies. A company doesn’t have to have one to harm consumers and markets, and harm can be things other than high prices. See: Lina Khan.

Some of the trust-busting policymakers’ discussions about tech products are painful to listen to, but it’s all trying to recalibrate anti-trust law to the rise of vertically integrated products, which have created amazing user experiences but but also high switching costs that create the conditions of a monopoly, without meeting the technical definition.
> missing the critical water cooler/hallway/impromptu meetings

Maybe that's the crux of it. I've never worked in an environment where things like that amounted to much. If one of those meetings started to become important, it would always end up with "let's find a meeting room and include Charlie and Susan and get this hashed out."

I'd go so far as to say that if that's the way a team is primarily communicating, there is something structurally wrong.

Blender 3.0's Cycles X Rendering Performance Is Looking Great
You seem to be complaining that math isn't programming, that it's something different, and you've discovered that you don't like how mathematicians do math.

Math notation is the way it is because it's what mathematicians have found useful for the purpose of doing and communicating math. If you are upset and disappointed that that's how it is then there's not a lot we can do about it. If there was a better way of doing it, people would be jumping on it. If a different way of doing it would let you achieve more, people would be doing it.

It's not laziness, and I think you very much have got the wrong idea of how it works, why it works, and why it is as it is. Your anger comes across very clearly, and I'm saddened that your experience has left you feeling that way.

Maths is very much about communicating what the results are and why they are true, then giving enough guidance to let someone else work through the details should they choose. Simply giving someone absolutely all the details is not really communicating why something is true.

I'm not good at this, but let me try an analogy. A computer doesn't have to understand why a program gives the result it does, it just has to have the exact algorithm to execute. On the other hand, if I want you to understand why when n is an integer greater than 1, { n divides (n-1)!+1 } if and only if { n is prime } then I can sketch the idea and let you work through it. Giving you all and every step of a proof using Peano axioms isn't going to help you understand.

Similarly, I can express in one of the computer proof assistants the proof that when p is an odd prime, { x^2=-1 has a solution mod p } if and only if { p = 4k+1 for some k }, but that doesn't give a sense of why it's true. But I can sketch a reason why it works, and you can then work out the details, and in that way I'm letting you develop a sense of why it works that way.

Math isn't computing, and complaining that the notation isn't like a computer program is expressing your disappointment (which I'm not trying to minimise, and is probably very real) but is missing the point.

Math isn't computing, and "Doing Math" is not "Writing Programs".

I would take it a step further and say that it isn’t the community services that has value at all. It is the production of the community that has value. Detroit stopped producing things so it could not trade/earn money for all those public benefits. You could raise property taxes as much as you want but if people can’t pay then because they haven’t earned money the city will just go bankrupt, like the Detroit did. A community doesn’t have to produce physical goods, it can produce services for those that do produce physical goods, or digital services. But when the community can’t produce even enough to cover your food costs, community services don’t matter. To increase value in an area there must be a surplus somewhere. San Francisco area is a perfect example of the opposite. The myriad of tech companies are able to scale on a massive level because software scaling has practically zero cost and end up with a surplus.
Yes, but I am confident if there would have been demand, they would have improved on it. It can open temple doors so I do not think it is too far away from a useful machine.
Facial photos required to enter stores with a mask
Interesting how mask wearing has likely emboldened store theft… and also interesting to see responses such as this.

I can empathize with the store owner’s desire and rights to preclude theft and shoppers have plenty of alternatives if they don’t like it. But I’m curious what privacy considerations or vulnerabilities may be anticipated by this sort of practice (e.g. if the imagery is high quality, poorly protected, and stored indefinitely)…
I’m thankful for yeast. It’s so, so convenient that we have a non-pathogenic bacteria which will eat pretty much any simple sugar, can be found on the surfaces of most fruits, and is essentially effortless to cultivate, which also does a bunch of useful things like leaven bread and make a bunch of delicious short chain fatty acids (both in bread and on their own, like in marmite) and make alcohol (although that one maybe does more harm than good)!

The gentleman who "Broke the 1GHz barrier" with one of these boards also wrote the first Linux credit card terminal software, which was awesome, simple and quite reliably rugged.

I had caught a small office client that needed new desktops all around just as someone cut an amazing sale on these boards. The cheap Celerons were of course abundant so these folks got dual CPU workstations with Voodoo3 graphics cards for an incredible price and wound up being an extra effective company for a couple years due to the Quake3 matches boosting morale.

I think I still have a couple of those on the pile. As I recall I had one running my house audio up til 2008 or so, probably holding a SoundBlaster 64 card.

As far as programmers, forget about the names. Does every C source file that uses pointer arithmetic include an explanation of how it works? Nope. They just use it and assume the reader understands it or is clever enough to ask for help or read up on the language.

Mathematical writing is similar. At some point you have to assume an audience, which may be more or less mathematically literate. If you're writing for graduate students or experts in a domain, you don't include a tutorial and description of literally every term, you can assume they're familiar with the domain jargon (just like C programmers can assume that others who read their program understand pointers and other program elements). Whenever something is being used that is unique to the context, a definition is typically provided, at least if the writer is halfway decent.

If the audience is assumed to be less mathematically literate (like a Calculus course textbook audience), then more terms will be defined (chapter 1 of most Calculus books include a definition of "function"). But a paper on some Calculus topic shouldn't have to define the integral, it should be able to use it because the audience will be expected to understand Calculus.
