I think a lot of engineers shoot themselves in the foot looking down on social networking skill and the ability to speak corporate, as it were.
That's why ex-BigTech groups are so valuable: not the shared trauma of having seen a great project turn into a corporate frustrating slug, which is often why good people end up leaving, nor the shared experience of building certain rare, hard-to-appreciate tools, although that one is precious — but as a community of experienced professionals. Some merge into private groups, but they always start as private-by-necessity clusters and rarely pierce that veil.

It’s a shame, really.

But you can't outright reject one sex from the start.
It's their responsibility to stay up-to-date. If a dev can keep up with front end tech stacks, doctors, who are much more elite in their education, should keep track of latest treatment breakthroughs in their domain of expertise.
In a real world organization it can be hard to get individual managers and teams to do this. Even when they want to, time pressure often means they just do the easy things.

It's odd to me that people focus so much on Ethereum NFTs' environmental impact. It's certainly not good, but it's currently nowhere close to Bitcoin's consumption, and within 1 - 3 years will likely be reduced to the cost of running something like the Tor network: https://ethereum.org/static/6b5219d652112f88202e9768e27f5db1.... (Especially since there's no specific marginal energy cost to minting or trading an NFT, so it can't be compared to something like choosing whether or not to drive a combustion engine car.)

To me the massive concern is all the financial fuckery. Anyone trying to shoehorn tokens (fungible, non-fungible, or semi-fungible) into something is almost always the reddest of flags.

For one, the proposed "token-gating" makes no sense. What's to prevent someone from buying one token and then sharing the private key with a million people? You can try to create a sophisticated token-sharing detection system with invasive fingerprinting and tracking and proxy/VPN detection and such, but it's endless whack-a-mole and it's barely feasible for the world's top companies, on top of being the antithesis of what cryptocurrency people stand for. This is why consensus algorithms like proof of work exist in the first place: you can never ensure one identifier (a private key, an IP, whatever) = one person. They have to sacrifice something fungible and scarce.

And "Your super-fans can collect NFTs of your published content." Just... what? Why? This strikes me as ridiculous and, frankly, cringe-inducing. It makes the whole thing feel gross.
I think the author is imagining a market segment containing a lot more new riders (who may, in fact, have learned biking as a kid and never touched a bike again) than existing riders. A lot of people legitimately need cars right now, given the options realistically available to them; e-bikes can carve away at that.

(To be clear, I don't see why we actually need to pedal backwards. Assuming we're otherwise comfortable with a bike-by-wire system as the author advocates, a a brake-by-wire lever should be super cheap and has none of the maintenance complexity of physical brakes.)
Not everyone is using Pydantic (nor do I see the reason to) or even type hints, for that matter.

Type hints are great when combined with a good IDE such as Pycharm, but are otherwise useless for Python. Sometimes, they are even missleading. Often they don't cover all the call options.

Complicated function calls should be made with keywords anyway. Leave positional only parameters to obvious functions such as pow() or sqrt().

The speed hit should be minimal. You are using Python, where dot access is a much more bigger performance eater than keyword arg functions.
That list claims the Australian Working Holiday Visa is (quoted from article: "designed to allow digital nomads to spend a year in the country with the ability to apply for an extension". It's definitely not designed for digital nomads, it's designed for backpackers doing short stints of casual work, especially in fields like agriculture, mining, and construction [1]. Hell, to get the extension you need to work for 3 months in the above fields. And getting it that wrong puts the rest of the list into doubt.

In the end, it doesn't much matter who did what, as long as good ideas got popularized. Bentham made an enormous contribution to developing and spreading utilitarian thought, and should be praised as such.

I guess that's a fair point. I'd like to learn about:

Sam has a video where (among other things) he covers some of the ancillary equipment needed to run the electron microscope.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJXio_jpc_Y

He doesn't mention costs directly, but this video covers the facts that they had to do some additional plumbing work, additional electrical work, there's a big-ass voltage transformer he had to acquire, etc.

I also wonder how much the shipping costs were on that machine. Unless they were able to pick it up locally with a rented van, shipping alone might have exceeded the cost of the unit. Shipping pallets of fragile gear with specialized handling constraints is not cheap.

My high school turned down a free electron microscope (a college was getting rid of it, I think) for reasons such as this. Even if you can get the microscope for free there are other costs, space requirements, etc.
Well implemented capitated plans are value based. Value based just means there are incentives for better than expected health outcomes and disincentives for bad outcomes. If you have a non-value based capitated plan health care providers would reduce the quality of care, so value based strategies were implemented to ensure patients receive good care even though providing it costs money.

The video is definitely not any kind of journalistic take-down. Here's a quote to frame the creator's view of anyone working on crypto.

I love this paragraph because it outlines just how disconnected from reality people actually building cryptocurrencies really are. They don't understand _anything_ about the ecosystems they're trying to disrupt. They only know that these are things that can be conceptualized as valuable and assume that because they understand one very complicated thing -- programming with cryptography -- that all other complicated things must be lesser in complexity and naturally lower in the hierarchy of reality. Nails easily driven by the hammer that they have created.

There is a lot of garbage in crypto to be sure. But what a dead-end POV.
Yeah, that was my first thought. I think Sam Gross' work is being mainlined already so hopefully this is yet more improvements on top? Unclear.

I also implemented a batched client-side web tool to resize photos to a certain file size (in a few hundred lines of JS). It only supports JPEG, but it resizes photos almost instantly https://randomforest.net/resizePhoto.html

Here are a few ideas to make yours faster:

1. Use the browser's canvas element to compress JPEG or PNG images instead of WASM. The libraries which come with browsers can use processor-specific instructions, while WASM only targets the smallest common denominator of the most common architectures, so it will be slower.

2. Which resizing method are you using to find a fitting image size? For me, it worked well enough to downscale by some factor a few times until it fits, but if you want to get super close, you could use binary search.
Totally agree, fasting changes the way of thinking and opens a lot of energy in the body.
I might have the query wrong, but I am seeing 0.8% of redeemed fees were lost to transaction fees. I'm sure someone could also generate something that looks better into the effects of redeemtion size & whether people are just not redeeming because too much would be lost in txn fees.

AND "success"
)

SELECT (SELECT * FROM burnt)/(SELECT * FROM returned)*100

> The consensus is that in aggregate (all language artifacts like writing, conjugation, syntax) no language is more complex than any other since complexity on one dimension (say chinese writing for Mandarin) is compensated in another (Mandarin morphology or conjugation).

This doesn’t sound right; it’s easy to imagine a terribly inefficient language (replace every letter/phoneme in English with thousands), and probably easy to make a language that’s worse in every aspect to an existing one

Which means you should be able to go the other way, and identify a language more efficient in every aspect than an existing one, unless they’ve all hit maximum optimality within their constraints.

But that’s unlikely, because language is burdened by the constraint of history, which tends to lock inefficiencies in place in favor of “minimum disturbance” when introducing change. And since we don’t care about that constraint when judging language efficiency, it should unlock some optimizations not yet applied.

>Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

That's an a priori assumption though. Who arrived at the conclusion it was "extraordinary" and with what scientific methods? Not based on research, for one, because that's what we're evaluating here: research results positive to that claim. We could say: "We have a bias against it being true", but the "extraordinary claim" part is BS within the context of the scientific method.

As for applying Bayes, the "prior" (in fields where it's not mathematically determined, like e.g. judging whether a coin is fair), is just another name for "at will bias".
It is obscene to suggest political motivations for a strawman that does not exist. If you did a simple google search for "linguistics information theory" you would find that there are still studies constantly coming out.

My stack is exim4, dovecot, and spamassassin, running on Debian stable. I do have a static IP address as the machine is a VPS. Admittedly this makes me reliant on my VPS provider so technically the whole stack isn’t in my control. I can however in theory fail over to metal on my residential IP if my VPS fails, although 1. I would want to request a static IP from my ISP and 2. I have not tested this transition recently.

At one point in the past I needed to get a different IP address and suddenly had deliverability problems because the IP I got from the VPS provider was previously naughty. Re-requesting another IP was all it took to solve that.
No I don't know Rust very well, I really should put in some time to learn it properly! I did a bit of GUI programming in the past, and felt there is a bit of impedance mismatch with Rust there. And the kind of subtle mistakes with ownership and reference cycles you tend to make in C++, but discover when you move to unique_ptr: Rust also ruthlessly uncovers them, but I guess I need more experience how to solve them.
Thanks for your nice comment, and thanks for being a contributor :-)
Legality aside, this is a terrible and naive way to think of DEI. Candidates recruited this way will have a stigma attached to them (“they were recruited because they were X”).

A better way is to enforce DSA - Diverse Slate Approach - which ensure that you don’t recruit anybody without having considered multiple genders and/or ethnicity before making the offer.

The goal of DSA is to recruit the best candidate for the role, but ensure a broad set of candidates has been considered. It’s a win win for all and it works.

Print the finished email threads, store outside your place of work.

Not intrinsically, obviously, as anti-trust clearly shows. I am not anti-big intrinsically, for many of the reasons identified.

But I do think there are obvious downsides to be guarded against. If anything, as technology improves, technological barriers to entry should decrease and less big companies will be needed to work on certain advanced technologies.

It's functionally inferior, because if you go into it expecting modern elasticsearch you'll be sorely disappointed. It's only now that it's been renamed to OpenSearch that this becomes less of an issue, as the two technologies have completely diverged.

Anything AWS decides to run a managed version of will automatically have an advantage over the non-AWS equivalent but that's not a property of the technology itself really, it's just that you've already done all the paperwork and bureaucracy to use AWS in your org.

Is it really proximity to the purse string? Because even large, profitable founder-led tech companies, where founders have full control and motive to run the company efficiently, adopt middle management. And what evidence is there that middle management is unnecessary? The only evidence presented is theoretical critiques from engineers who feel they stand to gain from the removal of management.
> All this is with ghosting, of course. High quality rendering definitely takes longer, and I get the impression from my reading and observations of a real device that bandwidth may play a part in that speed limit.

You’re talking about a general purpose monitor attached to a PC. How is bandwidth an issue there? The very same computer can push 120 Hz (or more) to higher res screens than the Dasung. It seems very clear to me that the problem is that the e-ink cells physically can’t react in time to show the next frame. The ghosting means they’re pushing it to the limit. If you’re talking about the controller within the display, well that argument doesn’t track. Controllers capable of pushing pixels that quickly work perfectly fine in conventional LCDs, even power constrained ones like an iPad Pro’s. Why not use those?

E-readers have been monochrome for over 20 years, not to mention every other limited-colour piece of hardware. Has that not been enough time for software to adapt and libraries to mature?

Of course I want software tailored to that experience, not something off the shelf.

If I am making any ridiculous requests, it’s 600 dpi screens at that size. I’m sure there are a thousand reasons why that’s a hard engineering problem.
