There's no way employees could be more embarassing than this kind of non-leader being in a leadership position.

For a CEO something's got to be wrong, he doesn't seem like the kind of operator who has any business trying to be responsible for any employees whatsoever, and should be kept far from any decision-making activity.

Actual businessmen have known better for centuries.
Its funny I was actually looking for a wiki extension that allowed more readability on desktop a couple of days ago.

I tried out Readable Wikipedia [0]. Which I really liked (kind of turns it into mobile, which is good enough for me) But it seems to have been abandoned, since images didn't load for me.

I then tried out WikiWand [1]. Although I've been using it and its been ok for the most part, it seemed over the top, and the UI was still a bit dated. Also, didn't like how it would load images in a banner view at the top...

I look forward to trying this out, looks very promising. Thanks for spending the time to make it!!

I'm afraid desktop apps mean a lot of annoying bug/crash reports from users with idiosyncratic local configs (e.g. antivirus software, or they modified some windows registry key a long time ago, because a YouTube video told them to do so, and now don't even remember it etc.).
I thought FB offered remote work as an option to basically everyone now?
> Is there a lot of opportunity in CS research?

No, I don't think so, and I don't think they pay terribly well. I just got accepted into a PhD program, which will take me 5-6 years to complete, so I'm hoping that will qualify me for the roles that do exist, and get something approaching a decent salary in the process.

> What roles would that entail?

I would ideally like to work entirely on formalization of algorithms, working primarily within Isabelle or Coq or Agda or something like them. I realize those jobs aren't exactly common, but it's at least a goal to work towards.
It's a great business decision. My understanding is that SQLite's big consulting income comes when some company somewhere produces a new piece of embedded hardware and needs SQLite to work on it. They can work directly with the company to get that to happen, using the company's proprietary testing suite.
If it were up to me, I'd have the athletes wear uniforms that alternatively "Olympic games, presented by Xinjiang concentration camps!", "Olympic Games, presented by no idea how the Coronavirus started, because there has been no investigation allowed in China around it origins.", and "Olympic Games, don't complain if you get raped because you'll end up locked in your house like Peng Shuai."
Having read Ender's Game half a dozen times as a kid, I never got that vibe from the story. I've only read HPMOR once (it's super long), but if there's bad writing, I didn't notice it because I was so engrossed in the story.
A cool thing about Thumb/ARM, is that you can actually switch between the two instruction sets in your binary. You essentially dump your cache when this happens, but you can do it.
You can call it a failing on MS's part up until you have real users that are impacted because then it really doesn't matter who's fault it is when users can't use your site.

No, it won't. There is no clear distinction between mobile and tablet first of all.
If you're defining the East Side as only Bellevue and Sammamish, maybe... But I just did a search in Bothell and there are a number of decent-looking houses for under $1M. Yeah, it's absolutely crazy compared to what it was even a few years ago, and I'm not going to argue that the values should be anywhere near as high as they are. But if you actually want to buy (rather than just vent, which is valid), you don't have to broaden your search that much to find much better options.

Looks pretty nice! I installed it and gave it a go. It definitely looks neater on the landing page demo than it does on my monitor; I suspect it's because my monitor is running at 1440p.

Also, it appears a little broken on maths-heavy pages. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourier_series.

Ye, this does seem a bit sketchy.

I'm no nuclear physicist, but the explanation from the article [0] seems to involve only activity in the electron shells, which I suppose might reduce local ionization, but I don't see how it would have any effect on the nuclei, which would still continue to breakdown, so a temporary effect at best?

I'd definitely like to hear from any experts on if this is anything beyond marketing...

[0] >>"NSPS technology leverages in particular high-velocity particles, also known as positrons, to direct this naturally occurring force towards radioactive isotopes in the soil and break the bonds holding them together. The process is conducted safely under the surface of the soil and no radioactivity is released to the ground or in the air. Once the positron comes into contact with the radioactive isotope, it rejoins an electron and annihilates the radioactive matter back to its original matter."
Nobody is saying this is not a bug. I am saying that "It's rust that has the broken picture of the filesystem environment" is not true in any way. Rust implements a cross-platform filesystem API. The fact that it does not work the same way as the Linux kernel does not make it "broken".

I think it's because by default, you have no idea what you're building for games.

Let's say you're making a typical RPG on web/JS. First off, what is the interface? Typical WASD? Is it a grid? 2D or 3D or 2.5D/isometric? How do you attack monsters? Do you click or press a key? Is it Mount and Blade style where the feel of the weapon depends on character skill? Is it FF style where you pick an attack from a menu?

Oh wait, we forgot mobile. WASD won't work nor would most roguelike controls. Do we just ditch mobile support? Do we hack in a D-Pad? Do we do two different interfaces? Would it be portrait supported or landscape to make it more compatible with monitors?

From this alone, it's very hard to do TDD, as opposed to writing some hotel booking app where you know that essentially someone books a hotel.

And then you have the next stage: exploits.

Sword kills the skeleton monster in 10 hits. Mace kills the skeleton monster in 5 hits. Spiked chain kills the skeleton in 13 hits but it has a little more range, so the hero takes less damage. You write tests and it checks out perfectly. You test that randomisation falls within the parameters, test that the soul stealing artifact sword is balanced, test that paladins are properly corrupted when using soul stealing weapons.

And then you get this: https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0216.html

Someone finds out that half-ogre spiked chain can defeat every monster in the game without a single injury. Suddenly half the game are using low level spiked chains and the soul stealing artifact sword is in the bargain bin.
Yes, my conception of "propagate" is "the data gets there one way or another", and by using "propagate" the specifics of whether or not it's a push or pull model is unimportant. Good to know not everyone sees it that way though; that'll help when writing for others
not totally obvious to me what you mean here? at first glance this seems to have less chrome than the standard ui, and to be more timeless in the specific sense that it has a closer resemblance to a paper encyclopedia layout versus mid-00s web styling.
I don't think a significant proportion of people are actually leaving the workforce permanently, but something major is shifting in the US: workers are demanding better working conditions and pay, and taking less bullshit.

I think there are probably 10% of the worst employers in the country who just can't hire right now - from a mixture of bad reputation and unwillingness to pay (rising) market wages. There are better jobs out there - so workers are going to where managers treat them with humanity.

Only one of these statements can be true. Would you have money concerns if you did buy a house that is as good as your parents? i.e. if your housing costs were $10k/mo, $20k/mo or more?

> I think this is really why we can't "have fun" anymore. Because bad actors exist and can exploit things being done "just for fun".

That's often how things works. With friends we joke around a lot because we know each other well and know there aren't bad actors. At work, I'm way more careful. If there were no cases of harassement, exploitation or things like that at work I may joke around more. But since they exist, I'm more careful. I don't want to harass people, be seen as an harasser, or create an atmosphere were harassers feel welcomed.

When bad actors exist, the way to show good will is to not act like them, so they can be quickly identified and removed.
I think. This is so true.

> When people say “we’re waiting for DNS to propagate”, what they actually mean is “we’re waiting for cached records to expire”.

And when people say "the new data needs to propagate" they usually mean "all the old versions of the data need to be replaced with the updated version". Which is exactly the what "waiting for cached records to expire" means. I don't really see the point of this article, besides to express some sort of overly pedantic characterization of push vs pull event propagation techniques. Did anyone really think that every time someone makes a DNS update it is broadcasted to every DNS resolver on the internet?

Edit in response to general feedback: The article should be titled "DNS doesn't push". The DNS consistency process satisfies any reasonable definition of "propagation" so claiming "DNS doesn't propagate" is confusing at best and misleading clickbait at worst.

People get hung up on the price of homes when really they should be looking at the monthly cost of the mortgage.

>> If a non-standard dataset is being used, I would expect there to be a discussion/analysis on what characteristics of that dataset made it unusable for this paper.

Unfortunately that just adds more work for the reviewer, which is a motive for many reviewers to scrap the paper so they don't have to do the extra work.

That sounds mean, so I will quote (yet again) Geoff Hinton on things that "make the brain hurt":

GH: One big challenge the community faces is that if you want to get a paper published in machine learning now it's got to have a table in it, with all these different data sets across the top, and all these different methods along the side, and your method has to look like the best one. If it doesn’t look like that, it’s hard to get published. I don't think that's encouraging people to think about radically new ideas.

Now if you send in a paper that has a radically new idea, there's no chance in hell it will get accepted, because it's going to get some junior reviewer who doesn't understand it. Or it’s going to get a senior reviewer who's trying to review too many papers and doesn't understand it first time round and assumes it must be nonsense. Anything that makes the brain hurt is not going to get accepted. And I think that's really bad.

https://www.wired.com/story/googles-ai-guru-computers-think-...

Basically a new dataset is like a new idea: it makes the brain hurt, for the overburdened experienced researcher or inexperienced younger researcher alike. Testing a new approach on a new dataset? That makes brain go boom.

Which is a funny state of affairs. Not so long ago it used to be that one sure-fire way to make a significant contribution that would give your paper a leg up over the competition was to create a new dataset. I was advised as much at the start of my PhD (four ish years ago). Seems like this has already changed.

1. Housing prices are more reasonable in Brooklyn than in Seattle.

2. Housing prices in Seattle would be more reasonable than they currently are with more supply of housing.

3. NIMBYism is absolutely the problem in Seattle. Upzone everything to have a minimum density requirement of 4 family, instead of insisting that 70%+ of the city stay in single family zoning. Don't want a duplex in your back yard? Tough. Move. If the entirety of the city core were as dense as average Brooklyn you would have sufficient supply to meet demand. As is you can buy a fixer up apartment in Brooklyn for half the price of a burnt out shell in Seattle.

4. There are more people than ever and they're all coming back from the desolation known as suburbia: Cities simply have to densify in response. You can't keep your city the same size forever.

> Unfortunately this is happening in the FOSS world as well. Constant churn of software products, features and bugfixes to keep users addicted.

I suspect there's so much churn in FOSS, because developers love rewrites and starting from scratch. In the world of commercial software, written by companies, the bosses/owners reign them in. FOSS, on the other hand, does not have bosses or owners...
I've done a similar thing with a few past employers after I've moved on. "Hey, can you explain this code to the new person?". In some cases, I'd be glad to do a 1 hour call or whatever. They frequently ask me to submit a bill for my time and I always refuse. I don't want to turn into some kind of staff augmentation and be at their beck and call "because they are paying". Way better to think of it as a gift and I get to decide the rules.

"Propagate" describes high level system behavior, and is thus correct regardless of the underlying mechanics being push or pull. Another thing you have/had to wait for is zone transfers, from "primary" authoritative servers to "secondary" authoritative servers. Today this has been mostly alleviated with NOTIFY or synchronization functionality outside of the original BIND (eg SQL backend of PowerDNS, or copying zone files across servers like every other config), modulo your specific infrastructure of course.

IME when you make a change to your name servers at your registrar, you see that change updated in the TLD's servers pretty quickly (a few minutes). So we're basically down to whatever time your own infrastructure takes to update, plus TTL timeouts of recursive resolvers (and cached failures), as the post covers. You can follow such progress by using dig/nslookup on the authoritative servers directly (your own and/or the TLD's, depending what's updating).

> the outdoor air quality is most of the time good.

This is the point, knowing when it's bad so you can change behaviour?

When does it spike in a forest? You'd guess when it's windy? But is it seasonal? Does dust matter more the pollen, I think pollen is more PM 10. Salt from the sea breeze is bad (PM2.5), how does that mix with leaf matter in Fall?

> Indoor PM2.5 can often be higher than outdoor so that the yearly average will be pushed down by time spent outside and there is no need to have <5 μg/m³ inside too.

This line form OP is totally incorrect.

Indoors should be less than outdoors, unless you have a fire or smoke indoors.

And why does "yearly average" matter? Smoking cigarettes (which is exactly the same as what we are talking about) is not about a "yearly average".

My favorite National Park Service quip of all time. At the bottom of the page on Yellowstone's volcano [0] are a few questions and answers, and among them this gem:

Bingo, and there lies its power — but only in the correct domain.

For consulting, where the customer doesn’t quite understand what they need and you need to work your way forward in an exploratory fashion (and for a limited period) it’s great. And that was the environment it was designed for!

You have a multi year engineering project? Really a waterfall, or a waterfall/spiral approach will work.

Subtasks handled by a small group can be agile, and that can make the whole thing more efficient, but that need not be the case.

This has been a long time coming for California.

It’s a great state in many ways, but the way most of the local and state leaders have repeatedly punted on the issue of housing affordability is shameful. Calling their efforts half assed would be too generous, it’s quarter assed at most.

The recent change to upzone previously single family home only areas is good, but even then, the new regulation is filled with caveats that weaken it.
For those inclinde to condemn, or exonerate, Google and other major service providers for such practices, I strongly suggest considering the actual scale of operations involved.
