Are you kidding? Half Life 3 could still be a huge hit with a decent script and a modern engine. Not everything has to advance the state of the art.

The Mandalorian doesn't do anything new. It puts you back in the Star Wars universe of the late 1970's, with a compelling set of characters, environments, and scripts to match. That's all a new Half Life (or Portal) game would have to do.
Except the corporation has visibility into their production methods. I, the consumer, standing in a store looking at a tomato, have no way of knowing how it was grown, where it came from, how it got to my store, how the store is powering the lights to show me the tomato. All I want is a tomato. The fact it got drove across an entire country to get to me is conveniently hidden.

I’ve been surrounded by so many rails fans who use it for every possible problem. “If all you have is a hammer, everything is a nail” was the epitome of what was happening. Then being left with trying to sift through old versions of documentation, trying to figure out what is the “current” way of doing things in rails vs the previous ways, aye yi yi. Rails has definitely left me with a sour taste in my mouth.

I’m not saying rails is bad, it is great in so many situations. I’m just saying it is not a silver bullet, and the cult behind it has some real blinders on.

I stand by my original argument though that for most people, reading documentation top to bottom isn’t the best way to learn. If it works for you, great.

Is the efficiency the number of amps required to gain/maintain a particular rotational speed? So given rotational speed 4k conventional is 50g thrust and DaVinci 75ish g, if conventional costs 10amp then DaVinci would be less efficient if it uses more than 15 amps?

> The "metaverse" is an idiotic, last-ditch attempt

Exactly. It's a bet-the-farm move from a company that has a track record of, best I can tell, a big fat zero in terms of in-house innovation. This is like Google deciding to shift the entire company to Google+, except Google+ was just a clone of an existing thing that actually worked. Meta has no precursor. It's an entirely new thing that Facebook is trying to will into existence without even so much as testing the waters first.

I have a feeling Zuckerberg is going to enrage investors enough that he has to flee Facebook in the middle of the night under the cover of darkness with the help of a few loyal toadies providing safe passage, or he's going to start building his Führerbunker and be the last man standing while Facebook turns to rubble. I'm slightly joking, but also... Zuck has to be in the running for the worse tech CEO ever. They paid $16 billion for WhatsApp and then started promoting their own Facebook Messenger which no one used. I feel like their intent was to kill WhatsApp in the crib. But the "crib" turned out to be the entire global population and was, in fact, too big for them to kill and get people to switch to their own garbage chat app.
Eh, sort of. As an east-coast resident who has worked for both tech startups as well as large companies, (currently one of the large SV companies), I will say I still view SV as a very different vibe than any work culture I regularly experience here.

What's the difference between paying $10/month and buying a $20 skin every 2 months?
Yes, but side-loading, either directly or through third-party stores, prompts the user with dire warnings, making it almost impossible for developers to realistically use that method.

The exceptions are hardware manufacturers that ship custom versions of Android that have their own stores.

If it weren't for that detail, or that Google warned all installs about the same thing (even from their own store), I wouldn't have a problem with it.

> You are of course free to choose not to do business with parties that do not support Apples payment system

Take a look at the videogames landscape on PC. There is an ever-growing amount of game launchers because each company refuses to pay that 30% to someone (e.g. Steam).
Having the option to create a store means almost everyone that can WILL create one. Not having that option forces everyone to play by the rules of the existing store.

As a consumer, I like Steam's policies about refunds, I like being able to buy any game with the same in-store credit or the same credit card, I like their client's features like download throttling or scheduling.

I certainly do not like that each half-assed client comes up with a bare bones implementation of the same thing and calls it a day. If Rockstar shits the bed and launches a terrible game, I can refund it on Steam but not on the Rockstar launcher.

Same case for Apple, the minute they allow external stores, half the apps will be pulled from the App Store into their own proprietary store and all the consumer protection would go out the window

And "How to ask questions the smart way": http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

The important part is tailoring it to your environment.

Also ask yourself if your system makes issues observable and testable. If you're spending a lot of resources on support or testing, those may be features worth adding. This is hard to quantify and defend to management, so sometimes you may just wind up working on it for your own sanity.

What to include in your question:

ENVIRONMENT

EXCEPTION

WHAT YOU'VE DONE to localize or investigate the problem

SERVICE NAME

URL

Before you ask Is X Down? Please take a moment to ask yourself these questions:

Is the service up? (Check Cloud Provider X, Cloud Provider Y)

Is the server up?

Which environment am I asking about?

Have I checked the logs?

Have you googled the exception?

Have you looked for code related to the exception in the codebase?

BAD: The service is down.

GOOD: When I run service ms-random locally, I get the following error.

argc = 0 is a bad idea? When did we enter into this insane parallel universe?

When I first came across (argc, argv) a long long time ago I was befuddled by the choice of having argv[0] be something vaguely related to your binary, maybe the path to it. That seemed a very weird choice seeing how most programs have no use for that and now all the arguments you actually care about are shifted.

So now you have a patch to ensure argc is always 1. Only of course if you accept that there are programs that misbehave with argc=0, surely you must also accept there are programs that misbehave if argv[0] is not the program path? This is after all the convention that got you into this misery in the first place!

That's the moment the stupidity fully sets in. So now you write a patch to make sure argv[0] is really the path! Except just as we have discovered with this innocuous patch, you could write a dissertation on the question of "what exactly is meant with the program path" alone. And that really whoever was relying on some specific interpretation on the value of argv[0] would have been much better off with some other syscall to tell him what he was after.

Since the value of bitcoin is based on fiat, it's relatively easy for the government to debase it. By banning the conversion of fiat to bitcoin, it removes the value. You can still pass coins around on the bitcoin network, but if no one accepts them, and you can't turn them into usable currency, then what's the value?
That's also my whole point: this is not an experiment but an elaborate artificial argument designed to prove a point of view decided in advance. That is why I find it unsavory.

I guess the cool kids learn CAD and just 3D print the parts they want, which is also awesome (I wonder if there is any research in recycling failed designs or prints back into filament)

I certainly do that with PCBs these days. The cost went down so far I just throw a design together in kicad and have them made for me and shipped over in a week or two. It's only a few bucks more than ordering protoboards and doing all of the wiring myself. I'll exchange a lunch out for that convenience.
The value of the proton charge radius in itself is pretty much irrelevant, otherwise it wouldn't be so hard to measure.

As scientists we want to know if our understanding of nature is correct. To test this, we measure the same quantity, for example the proton charge radius, in different ways. If the underlying theory is correct, the results should agree within the experimental uncertainties.

Since 2010 there was a big disagreement between the proton charge radii measured by hydrogen spectroscopy and electron/proton scattering (which roughly agreed at the time), and a much more accurate measurement using muonic hydrogen spectroscopy. This has lead to a lot of excitement, since discrepancies could be a hint for new physics. Since then, more accurate hydrogen spectroscopy experiments have been performed and most agree with the muonic hydrogen value. This probably indicates that the discrepancy is due to underestimated error bars in the old measurements.

In contrast to laser spectroscopy which gives relatively direct results, getting the charge radius out of electron scattering data is notoriously hard. Different groups have found different charge radii from the same data for a long time.

> Would a qualified candidate decide to apply to the position if they read the job ad?

Here's an idea: have your low-level managers write the job requirements. (1) Your low-level managers know what tasks need to be done, (2) they know what competencies those tasks require, and (3) they know how to articulate the requirements in a way that makes sense to someone who can fulfill them.

> Is the job in a bad location? Does it have relatively low pay?

Also, have you adjusted your salary offers based on the 7-9% increase in cost of living that happened over the last year? A mid-market salary by 2020 standards is inadequate, especially if you expect your employee to live somewhere that was already expensive.

When a platform grown organically, it gets to start out with a good idea, and then retain some of the original spirit even after it has to introduce annoying rules and controls to deal with growth and attention (look at reddit eg)

When an at scale platform is spawned out of whole cloth, like what facebook is doing, the bureaucratic things that make it shitty get baked in from the beginning. The attention from day one makes sure there is all kinds of "what about?" happening that turns it into a boring, sterile environment. Government has the same problem, it could arguably be worse for Facebook.

Good question. I'm not sure. We treat them like they are all the size, which I assume is a function of all them being themselves composed of pieces that we treat as fungible. On the other hand its not like anyone is measuring a proton size with a pair of calipers, so them all being the same 'size' could simply be a function of them all having the same charge.
