As a recent convert from Alacritty to Kitty, I can confirm this. Kitty blew Alacritty out of the water in the first 10 mins of my experience with it.

Like holy crap, it's a very well written and well thought out piece of software. And it's fast. I'm all about the Rust hype, but Kitty reduced latency drastically.
I love how it interprets the audio from the phone and uses its microphone as an output device to do networking. I guess that’s what you gotta do if you don’t have no ethernet?

Man, I’m glad dail-up has been mostly phased out. It’s super-expensive to get good speeds with that stuff.
I have a little progressive Web app I'm currently rewriting in Vue 3. Was hoping to toss it in electron for cross platform desktop use. Now I think I'll give this a go first. Great work!
Understanding Software Dynamics (Addison-Wesley Professional Computing Series) 1st Edition
by Richard L. Sites (https://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Software-Addison-Wesley...)

This is a recent book and I have not completed reading it but I know already is it destined to become a classic. If you are serious about learning how to understand and improve code, this is the book for you. (Full disclosure: Dick is a long-standing friend and one of the brightest and insightful guys around.)

Writing Efficient Programs (Prentice-Hall Software Series) 1st Edition by Jon Louis Bentley (https://www.amazon.com/Writing-Efficient-Programs-Prentice-H...)

This book is out of print but I believe it's a better read that Jon's Programming Pearls books. C is a great (and permissive) programming language. Jon shows how the language can be exploited for gain performance. Evil but effective.

Hacker's Delight 2nd Edition by Henry Warren (https://www.amazon.com/Hackers-Delight-2nd-Henry-Warren/dp/0...)

The Hacker's Delight is exactly what Hank Warren intended--a collection of tricks and facts that programs can exploit. It's informative on many levels. It uses deep knowledge of how numbers (and other mathematical objects) work to compute useful information. And it shows how seemingly arcane information can be useful. For a programmer excited by the fabric of programs, it is a continual delight.

The first edition has a clarity and compactness that I find appealing. The second edition has additional material. When you get through all of the Delights you can read Knuth Volume 4 which embeds more arcane and useful knowledge.
No they're radically different in effect.

One is the playback of data, the other is the capture of real world signals into data. They may use technologies in the same domains, but the implementation varies dramatically, as do the possibilities..

If you have the recorded data, you can send it to any trusted playback device/software to get back a trusted scaling. You can workaround/bypass any distrust in a given players algorithms, and it's very easily discoverable whether something is applying processing or not. There's still the risk of intentionally faked videos, but the discussion is around real time processing introducing artifacts.

With image capture though, there's no such thing as "truth". Even RAW data isn't truth. It's just less processing, but you can't escape it altogether. Even professional full frame cameras will do significant signal processing between the photosites and the recorded RAW image. The same goes for film.

The only thing a court can do is put a strong guidelines for proving the honesty of the content. you can't disallow processed imagery because all images are processed the second they're recorded.
For companies like Boston Dynamics, the main customer is usually government contractors. And the sad truth is that those are often as easy or easier to trick than general consumers.

It's a big key to Elon Musk's success imo. See: all of Musk's hype plans that are really infeasible (e.g. hyperloop). The only plausible customers are governments yet somehow he's still managing to land incredible contracts for plans that are all hype
I believe the Google Camera does this. Not sure if it preserves the original photo before any color corrections, but it allows me to go back and added, remove or change any blur.
As I read it, the flag changes are to find the source of the slowdown. I.e. if disabling LTO for a moment would improve the compilation speed drastically, then I probably still want it enabled but may now want to see if there are ways to "please" the LTO, to massage the input to be somehow more LTO-friendly and allow it to work faster - or find some other ways to optimize LTO (like how they experiment with alternative linkers in other parts of the article). It helps to understand whether the biggest gains can be had from focusing on optimizing this particular area. Also it helps quickly and roughly establish what's the "best case" improvement they can probably achieve, as presumably the debug-build set of options is bent on compilation speed.

Still, in the end the biggest performance gain seems to have been found faaar away from LTO in this case.

Increasingly these photo"graphs" have nothing to do with reality either. I may be part of a weird minority but when I take pictures I do it to document things, I don't want them to be all fake and wrong. Some Chinese manufacturers have taken this to a ridiculous extreme, they make normal friendly faces look outright scary.

Pictures shouldn't be edited by default, the user should be given the option if they want to. And lets not even get started on the fact that we have all these face recognition algos and such in a device constantly connected to the internet, with people taking pictures of themselves and everyone around them. What could go wrong...

They're from users outside my organization. Mac Mail does spam filtering. It's in training mode when you install the OS, and then a couple weeks later it asks if you want to put it in regular filtering mode.
It's not clear what you're disputing.

Criminal trials are generally biased towards the defense. If it's unclear if the evidence is doctored or not it shouldn't be introduced to potentially mislead the jury.
The sibling comments nailed it, but in short: be authentic. I readily admit to my employees when I am confused, ask for their help when needed, and am as transparent as reasonably possible. In general, we make decisions by consensus (though not always, as some cases necessitate that). I freely admit they are better than me at many things, as that was literally the point of hiring them. My job, in turn, is to ensure they can do theirs spectacularly and with minimal annoyance and maximal happiness. Being a glorified 'shit umbrella' can get lonely, so it's important to find other folks to talk to about it (ideally that are unrelated to the company you work for).

Most importantly: arbitrary decisions will kill your team. If you cannot answer the question "why?" with something other than "because I said so," or worse, "because management said so," you are in for a world of trouble. To build loyalty and get your team to follow you into pretty much any 'battle,' get your hands dirty, fight on their behalf (but this requires knowing what they care about), and help them improve and grow. That is the job of a good manager.

Everything else is secondary.
This is the way for my also.

They say making predictions about the future is difficult, but you're predicting something about the past. Where was the "even more confusion" in the long period where Mozilla shipped this feature?

In this world, Mozilla's Firefox browser has to cope with the stupid but true fact that millions of servers are mis-configured, and being "loud" about that just ensures users will switch to a different browser.
Good question. I typically keep an excel with a row for each application it contains job title, company, people spoken with/interviewed with, notes etc…

Also a folder with the cv I submitted and any other docs.

If you’re searching for a while it can be useful to have this kind of record.

I once considered an app would be a good idea but didn’t build it.. I guess the biggest question is how do you make money providing it to people looking for a job.

I don't think it's as dramatic.

Basic skills are very much transferable between e.g. Ruby and Python, despite a ton of differences.

More narrowly, skills are transferable between ReactJS and React Native, despite a ton of component and CSS differences. Skills are transferable between Java-based and Kotlin-based Android development.

So I'd say that a well-defined subset of web APIs, without strategically placed footguns, could be a quite okay target; if code is not directly reusable, it can be easily ported.
The private systems in Canada don't offer hip replacements, they offer a narrow range of services.

Also, 80% of Canadians live a 1 hour drive to the US border.

The 'fallback' to the Canadian system - is the US system.

I don't think either systems are ideal, we need somewhat more private service in Canada, and the US needs socialized coverage of some level along with private.

The big giant social issue that nobody wants to talk about, is that the 'pyramid' in the US is so much bigger than in Canada for so many reasons. The US upper middle class are much richer than in Canada. And the poor are really poor. There are 1M undocumented workers in each of Cali and Texas - if you put them on the books, it stretches the disparity even further.

This makes it harder to impose a 'one size fits all' system.

That said - all basic HC services should be minimally covered through the state.

The number of people putting up 'Go Fund Mes' is nutty.

People are also legitimately wary of governments ability to effectively provide for services, which is a legit concern. The government can be just as corrupt and inefficient ans the private sector, and it's not nearly as easily displaced.

Finally - I would like to see the 'Walmart' of Healthcare come along and do damage to the big providers. Walmart works on a cost basis and their pricing is based around reducing cost, then adding a very small markup - which is different than other businesses. If I was President I would probably beg Walmart to literally start providing basic services.
Hmm, the website loads for me still. Not sure if more people are having this issue.

From what I understand Repool is a formal way for anyone to start their own fund and manage other people's money. This has a lot of legal stipulation and overhead. OnlyTrades on the other hand is just a one-click way to share with others what people already do over text, Twitter, and Discord. You aren't managing anyones money nor providing explicit financial advice. Just sharing your own trades in real-time to followers which is entirely legal.

I think OnlyTrades serves more as a tool / data point for investors by helping them answer questions like "what are others investing in and when are they buying/selling?" vs. Repool's goal of can I let someone else manage my money (which you can just do on eToro tbh).

C++ projects tend to support massively parallel builds, despite what people tend to complain about with header files. The issue here in this article was partly that Rust only compiles crates in parallel, but while people tend to have lots and lots of C++ translation units, they don't have lots and lots of Rust crates. Languages seem to be moving in the wrong direction here :/.

It isn't (EDIT: isn't crazy) .

But there is no good way to reliably know if it's done well for this specific image.

So it can't be trusted.

Which doesn't mean it's worthless.

It's kinda like someone saying "I think I maybe have seen <something> when passing by but I didn't pay attention."

It's not trustable as the human mind if fickle but it can be a good starting point.
Is the SHA-3 hardware support already available in existing and widely used hardware?
Many insurers have rosters of meds they approve. Kaiser is one, just for a specific example. Everyone in the system is encouraged to prescribe from that list, even to the point of making clear medical trade-offs to do so.

This was all explained to me when we had to switch plans, ended up with Kaiser for a while, and needed to renew blood pressure meds for my wife.

She was in good control, no side effects, on meds for a decade. Those were not on the list. Rather than prescribe off list, that doctor increased her risk to benefit Kaiser, not her. And this was even made clear at the time! (maddening) Just to be ultra clear, it was that doctors "opinion" the various meds were all equivalent.

For a lot of reasons, none of which are medical, we went with it, and sure enough, she was not in good control, and had side effects.

Went back, got the meds that worked prescribed, (which cost me visit co-pays and some non trivial time and effort to basically demand the medication needed and proven) and found ourselves in the same "coupon" scenario above. Base cost of the medication was quite expensive, and a "coupon" was found to bring it roughly in line with the "on list" meds tried earlier. Of course, that all had to be done at another, outside pharmacy, due to the Kaiser one not carrying what they consider special order meds. That isn't a super big deal, but the whole mess involves bulk buying to gain price advantages, and the real worry point is cost being primary, with medical being secondary.

The whole thing caused me to very seriously question the strength of "medical opinion", given patient history, a routine request to simply continue proven treatment turned into a risk scenario for no reason other than the tangled mess of insurers, agreements, drug manufacturers, and the like all more focused on profit than they are patient health.

In my case, the pharmacy was Walgreens and yes they signed me up for some plan or other, GoodRX or the like, handed me a card and said I needed to use it to get the much better price. Was on the order of a few hundred dollars being discounted to a few tens of dollars...

Have had similar experiences at CVS, Bi-Mart, Safeway... Indie pharmacies, usually niche places that offer things like compounding, are particularly good at this sort of thing and it's one of the ways they attract and keep patients. I used a good one for years, until I moved. Miss those people. They would do that automatically for anyone struggling with med costs of any kind.

Polygon Lack of Balance Check Bugfix Postmortem – $2.2m Bounty
You're assigning blame to whom you are seeing - the doctor - whom is a worker like anyone else following a system. The true decision makers are people you don't see, like the administrators of that clinic, the pharmaceutcal company, and the insurance company. All business people that count on you to blame the workers for problems created by the admins whom by the nature of costs are trying to assign blame around in a circle. Everything is a company, and companies value profit over people.

These companies are so massive and complicated in their roles and processes you and I cannot easily figure out specific actionable blame onto the specific administrators and processes involved.
Your Windows bias is showing. :)

Personally, I find the Vulkan API to be one of the best designed APIs ever, and the debugging tools on desktop are okay. On Android, I'd say the Vulkan tools are, in fact, quite excellent. I can't compare them to iOS though.

The problem with Vulkan and DirectX 12 (which I find to be so close as to be indistinguishable) has nothing to do with their APIs. The main problem is that "modern" graphics is only tangentially related to rendering triangles--and rendering triangles is normally what beginners really want to do. A lot of beginners also want to render 2D paths--and graphics APIs for that are horrifically bad.

"Modern" graphics is mostly about creating a bunch of low-resolution "geometry buffers" and then scanning every single pixel on the screen only once while building the pixel up from some mathematical combination of those lower resolution buffers. Yes, there are triangles involved at a Platonic level, but many of the triangles are smaller than a pixel. See the Unreal Engine 5 demos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qC5KtatMcUw

It's reached a point that "modern" graphics almost doesn't even want a triangle renderer--it just wants pure access to the massively parallel memory and computation pipeline on the GPU and the ability to smash the results into a framebuffer. Vulkan and DX12 reflect this, so they don't really mesh well with beginners.

(I'm being a bit glib, but there really is a massive chasm between "modern" game rendering techniques and the kind of 2D/3D that GUI/CAD/Application developers want to use.)
Fun fact! There was a fire at the Erith site too: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-57883332
I'm disputing people using this case of the iPhone CAPTURE process screwing up as vindication for the judges distrust of the PLAYBACK process.

A) video scaling is a well documented and well understood field. The judge's mistrust was wrong to begin with, and if he distrusted the scaling algorithm, then there's no reason to trust any capture process either. It's reductionist if they're not going to try and understand what's going on.

B) if the judge mistrusted it, there should be a standard platform for playback that can be trusted by them otherwise it's an easy out for dismissing any evidence

C) again, people are conflating capture and playback. They're different, and issues in one don't translate directly to the other.
I did, but then I saw a link to YouTube instead of PubMed or arXiv.
That's not what the study is assessing.

Rather, it's looking at individuals with all-but-identical scores on the admissions exam, but on either side of the admissions line, one of whom attended a specialised high school, and one of whom did not. The difference in scores is well within the measurement error of the exam itself.

(Caveat: If I'm remembering the study correctly.)

That is: even if test prep is a factor in score, the scores considered were not differentiated, and those meeting or failing the cut-off could have equivalent access to test prep. I don't know whether or not such prep was specifically considered, and would have to track down the study to confirm or deny.
I agree, and even as someone who holds Rust in high regard, I’m becoming increasingly frustrated by this. There doesn’t seem to be one clear root of this problem.

Some of it is the language not being designed with ease of compilation in mind, unlike let’s say, to pick an extreme example, Go. Some of it is the tooling and default settings, especially around incremental compilation, linkers etc. People are working on this, but it takes time.

But unfortunately, a lot of the problem is with the ecosystem, as hinted at in the article. There seems to be no limit to the amount of code bloat and compile time complexity that people are willing to accept to win some microbenchmarks. This includes some very popular crates with lots of dependents, like Tokio.

In the C++ world, the popular “boost” library has a similar problem, and I know shops that avoid it, or large parts of it, simply because the compile times would be unbearable. I really hope that parts of the Rust community start to make similar decisions.
Care to rationalize? Your first example only looks pretty because the function names happens to be aligned while the library names are not. Import a few more functions with different length name and the story will be different. In reality library names tend to align better since they usually start with same prefix spanning across several sub-components.
> Luckily the rich are a minority and this is a majority rule system

Hmm, is that why the Build Back Better Act got killed in part by House Democrats wanting a SALT cap repeal? "The rich" you're thinking of excludes a large percentage of high earners who live in high CoL areas but are not wealthy. I'll remind you 20% of California earns more than $162k [1]. That's a lot considering the win margin of the general election and most CA state propositions. Enough to tip elections.

Average house price in Frankfurt is 7200 euro/sqm [2]. Tell me again how you can pay for a 200sqm house (=1.4M euro) when European software engineers make less than half of what American engineers make and get taxed more? A new grad at Uber in Europe makes 87k EUR [3]. A new grad in the US at any big name tech company makes more in the range of $180-200k. So your pay is more than double and you get taxed less, meaning you build wealth in the range of 3x as quickly.
