I'm not familiar with _this_ exact ECS library, but another header-only ECS library with comparable functionality is flecs [1] and it compiles so fast I thought I misconfigured it. Literally could not even measure the compile time increase.

And the truth comes out.

Unless you're employee ~3, you're probably not going to make a huge financial windfall. The only counterexample I've seen was from an employee who invested in startups themselves. (Apparently he even "investment sniped" one that later became a YC co, which I found pretty impressive.) Suffice to say, he knew how to play the game.

I think lots of people work at startups because they like to work. There's nothing wrong with that. But don't be too surprised at the end of it when you walk with a total comp of less than you'd have made at $bigco. People work at $bigco for the money because it sucks -- that' why it pays $bigcash -- and OP's story shows the kind of pain you're avoiding by taking a pay cut.

OP, I wish you all the best. If this is your first experience with a big company, well... Just know that it's far worse at big banks. :) You're lucky in that sense.
Parody :)
I think even considering using a box instead of a crib in the states may get you a visit from child protective services, or at least looks of disgust from your family or in-laws. Does anyone have experience trying this out?

> If a brown guy in an interracial marriage started a company with David Duke and Richard Spencer and then gave "edgelordy" speeches about race, I wouldn't have to think too much about how "American" my framing is before writing them off.

Razib didn’t start a company with anyone. As far as I’m aware, he has no relationship with those magazines other than having published some articles. If David Duke’s newsletter publishes an article from someone about how Asians think white people are fat and age poorly, I’m not sure I’d jump to the conclusion that the author is of a piece with David Duke.

> People should write this guy off. He made his own decisions, and can now deal with their consequences. Or not. Either way, we're not losing much.

I disagree. Folks in the left align themselves with actual insurgents like Angela Davis. I’m not going to write them off based on that association.

> the American framing on these issues is good, superior to the framing of most other cultures. I'm continually disappointed that American conservatives don't do a better job of reclaiming this issue from the left. It's a place where "American exceptionalism" actually holds somewhat true!

I’m socialized into the American framing myself, but I can’t condone the white supremacy of universalizing these beliefs. If white people want to say “you brown people have wrong ideas about the nature of social disadvantage and our ideas are superior” let them make that case transparently.
In the typical structure of a blank-check SPAC, if you don't like the company they pick to acquire, you're supposed to be able to get your money back before the deal closes. I'd guess that the option isn't exercised all that often in practice, though.
It's a brilliant tool! Picture quality is excellent - I guess due to peer-to-peer - and the quality of the product also generally feels high. I recommended it to a new team just today.

But the audio connection seems to keep going for a few seconds after you close the pairing screen. Could be seriously embarrassing if someone utters something after thinking they've ended the call.
I personally love ligatures, but

if you’re preparing your code for others to read—whether on screen or on paper—skip the ligatures.

I can agree with this.
> Most modern computer cores can operate at a sustained rate of 3 billion instructions per second, with much faster peak speeds.

3 billion instructions per second is an IPC less than 1. You can often expect IPCs closer to 2 even on older Skylake derived cores, so just shy of 10 billion instructions per second. Very modern top end cores do even better.
If blockchains weren't so inefficient, there'd be an interesting debate about the difference between something being fully removed versus simply being unavailable to many people to comply with legal requirements. Since they're not capable of storing even a modest JPEG, of course, that's moot since the referenced host would be the target of a takedown.

If this wasn't a joke, it would make an interesting demonstration of how the value is purely the current social consensus: a receipt is of dubious value in any case but it would be especially unlikely to attract buyers when the target URL has been DMCAed.
Now this is a rabbit hole! There are far more of these than I'd thought, ranging in structure from blog-like to database-like, with some updated by the host and some allowing user contributions (with some of the latter using wiki software). Many also include television, games, comics, or other media; and databases for those forms of media in particular also exist. More mundane subjects, like locations and songs used, are each covered by several sites. To keep the scope narrow, here are some more interesting ones that include films:

Camera equipment used: https://shotonwhat.com/

Instances of censorship: https://www.movie-censorship.com/ and in Australia in particular: https://refused-classification.com/default.html

Keeping with the theme of transportation from the other comments:

- The Boat Database is small and Fandom-hosted: https://imbd.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Movies

- There's one for trains, but only for the UK: http://railwaymoviedatabase.com/

Ultimately, it seems that we are devoid of an Internet Internet Database Database. Wikipedia comes close with some of its lists and categories, but only includes those it considers notable. Some of the databases do link to each other; e.g., the Cars Database has a directory page featuring smaller databases such as those for busses; LEGO and similar brick systems; and Microsoft and Nokia: https://www.imcdb.org/links.php

The title is now "Israel begins fourth Covid-19 dose vaccine rollout for people over 60 as Omicron cases surge". It is still butchered.

Not a sysadmin horror story, but I remember as an undergrad in the late 80s / early 90s what happened to me when i left my terminal unattended. Every time I ran my project via "a.out", I would see "Segmentation fault: Core dumped" and there would be a zero-length core file created in the directory.

Turns out a helpful soul had aliased "a.out" to 'echo "segmentation fault: core dumped"; touch core"

That made me learn at an early age to never have "." in my path, and to always execute things in the CWD as ./a.out (among other things).
yeah their stuff is pretty good

Nike Hercules, it was an urban-scale air defense system widely deployed on the coasts against potential Soviet bombers. While there had been plans to upgrade Nike to Nike Zeus and later Nike X, which were nuclear and anti-ballistic missile systems, these were cancelled for various reasons and the Nike system went out of service in the '80s. The launch complex vaults, in which the missiles were stored, have mostly since been filled in for safety reasons (those that haven't are almost always flooded). Fortunately there's one in Marin County preserved as a museum by a historic society.

Fortunately, being an air-defense system, Nike never had a combat engagement. Nike X, while it never came close to achieving its goals, did serve as the birthplace of modern phased-array radar and several advancements in real-time, networked data processing. Overall the Nike system is one of the America's most visible military artifacts of the Cold War. At the apex there were nearly 300, mostly coastal but also inland around certain priority targets like SAC bases and ICBM fields.

It was a pain to figure out, but I was able to set up my own instance of the management software without going through their servers. At one point I had to SSH into the AP and wipe its nonvolatile memory...

Of course, I don't remember how to do it at this point, so hopefully I don't ever need to change the settings on my AP. It's been working completely issue free for a couple years now.

I have worked in FAANG and in 10 person startups and have paired in them all. VSCode is fine if you're all using VSCode and don't need to screen share anything outside of VSCode. If everyone is on mac though, there is nothing better than Tuple that I have used. If one party uses IntelliJ and another uses vim, and you need to have a db client or browser or something open as well, Tuple is fantastic.

How is it "just not true"? There are literally a couple Chili's (and plenty of TGIF's and other similar places) within a couple miles of the house in question. The fact that there are _also_ some real nice places doesn't change that (also, my wife and I literally fell asleep while eating at Chez TJ. One of my worst meals ever. Baumé is superb, however.)

The Bay Area isn't uniquely bad. It just isn't uniquely great either. It's a nice place to live. So are lots of other places. There are some great restaurants. There are some great restaurants in other suburbs, too.

Try to think about the other side of this.

It isn't about keeping the lowest common developer employed, it is about keeping the lowest common developer from bricking the entire system. Unless of course you can tell me where to find enough developers of your skill level to write all the code required to run a modern society.
They differ in that utes have a pretty large load bed, whereas these are -- or at least were, for the EPA -- allowed to have a maximum of one square meter. (Might be slightly larger for the A?)

I assume the reasoning was, so farmers don't try to get the more favourable tax rate for a tractor applied to something they actually use as a pickup truck. Real tractors don't have big load beds either.

> I can't find anywhere in this thread that anyone was making a claim that teens shouldn't be able to drive.

To be clear I meant "under 18" there when I said "teens", because that's the group for which the law differs by country. "teenage minors" is normally what that word means to me.

So specifically, the chain of conversation went like this:

"The issue is that 15 year olds are just that, 15 year old kids. "

"How come 16 year old kids can drive just fine in the US?"

I very much read that as talking about whether teens are a hazard and should be able to drive, deliberately making a comparison to 18+ rules in Sweden.

"They can't. [...] Sixteen- to 19-year-olds represent 3.9% of licensed drivers, but account for 8.6% of drivers in all crashes and 6.0% of drivers in fatal crashes."

That continues the same comparison. Then I argued that the total rate of fatalities has been dropping tremendously, so teens these days are less of a hazard than non-teens in decades past.

> I believe people were saying we shouldn't allow people who are, statistically speaking, the least capable of driving safely to drive just because they'll be safer if they crash.

Do you mean Aeolun's comment? It's definitely not what I meant and nobody replied to that comment. So I don't think that's what the conversation was about.

> We shouldn't lower our already extremely low bar for driving standards just because cars are getting bigger and occupants are more likely to survive when they run into a person or a tree.

I'm not sure which age bar you're talking about, but honestly it depends on what you're trying to optimize for. And it's not just occupants surviving more. People in other cars survive more, and if you look back at the same years pedestrians survive more too! In the last few years the pedestrian fraction of vehicle deaths has been 16-17% of 1.15 deaths per hundred million miles, and in the late 70s it was 16-17% of 3.3 deaths per hundred million miles. https://www.iihs.org/topics/fatality-statistics/detail/pedes... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_vehicle_fatality_rate_in...

The improvement is less if you go per capita instead of per 100 million miles, but it's still a big improvement.

And yes I'm aware that pedestrian deaths hit a low point and have been rising in the last few years, which is a real problem, but they're still significantly lower than they used to be.
That's not really answering the question.
Completely agree. I knew they'd link to the Phoenix Project at the end
For both 2 and 3 you may find https://github.com/ocaml/RFCs/blob/unboxed-types/rfcs/unboxe... very interesting. I'm hoping that progresses beyond the RFC stage.
That's a great question. Honestly. I don't think I can answer it without context. Some situations don't require that kind of escalation, but others do.

EDIT: I think the point is that I feel like I have the choice to escalate and take action in a way that eliminates the threat if I see that it is required.

> Why should a router be any more locked down than my PC?

It's possible that the WiFi card in your PC will refuse to transmit on a 5GHz channel until it detects some other device already transmitting. I've pulled WiFi modules from dead laptops that had such restrictions enforced at the hardware/firmware level, making those WiFi cards unusable for a DIY access point.

Seems like the same distribution that produced a result after nine years could produce one after ten. Hopefully they got them all the first time.

> There are real questions about what makes people want to change sex

There is no widely-accepted empirical answer to this question,

Arguments on trans issues hinge almost entirely on one's level of sympathy for trans people
and willingness to accept what they tell us about how the feel.
It's not a coïncidence that those who personally know a trans person
are much more supportive of trans rights.

> about the effects of immigration; and about the effects of social spending

Let's suppose that the data came in and we learned
that immigration is slightly good for the economy as a whole,
really good for immigrants,
but bad for native blue-collar workers.
Based on that hypothetical information,
people would reach different conclusions about immigration policy
based on their relative sympathy to immigrants and native workers.
The framing device is also extremely important:
"should America put our own people first?" vs
"should the state condemn people to poverty because of where they were born?"

Trump managed to beat Clinton without uttering a single fact during his entire campaign.
If you want to beat the Trumps of the world,
you need to know how to deconstruct a narrative.

Also, do you have any data suggesting
that narrative-centric arguments employed by writers and humanities PhDs
resulted in the rise of Trump --
or did you conclude that based on your value system?
Sound about right. Another option is to see if you can get approval to stay on your current infrastructure, and maybe get your codebase and environments up to the required standards. Reduce your dependency on the large company, reduce your headaches, this will be the first of many. If the product works it works.
Right, but to do case-insensitive comparisons of header names you need to decode them as strings, not just byte sequences.

The more articles I read about FB's terrible reputation and commensurate price premium they need to dish out, the more interested I become in snagging some sort of remote management position there. I work for a DoD contractor so the "reputational impact" of FB on my resume doesn't mean much to me, but potentially doubling my income for a few years would absolutely be life-changing. And no longer having to work in an open office, with half of the internet blocked to boot, would just be icing on the cake....
There is some evidence for pilots at least that partial automation reduces fatigue, which could very well be safer. I know when I turn on cruise control I get tired slower because of not having to monitor the spedometer.
My take is a bit different: the early microprocessors were a big step backward in functionality. The 7090 was a 36-bit machine, while the Z-80 and 6502 were 8 bit. These microprocessors didn't support multiplication or division. The 7090 supported not only integer multiplication and division, but floating point. Even the 8086 didn't have floating point (without the 8087). The 7090 also had channels, basically a built-in DMA engine for I/O.

But overall I agree with you that the assembly code is fairly similar as far as the basic structure. Some of the early computers have pretty strange assembly code that requires a big mental shift. For example the Honeywell 1800 with two program counters that can go forward or backward, or the IBM 1401 with its word marks and arbitrary-length words.
