Assuming it was a fire drill -- back in the olden times before the new normal, when I worked at the office, fire drills were mandatory exercises. That's the whole point of them: you don't get to ignore them. We were always told in no unclear terms that we were expected to take part in the drill, no exceptions, and people even got told off if they took the time to shut down their computers or go back for backpacks or whatever, because "in a real fire there's no time for that".

I suppose people working in critical positions were cut some slack. I can't imagine doing interviews is one of those positions.
It is not about the advertising, it is about the nature of the bread to fit the one or the other tax (VAT) bracket.

As it happens, many years ago I worked for Amazon and encountered a small microwave fire in the break room. I dealt with it myself, but I realized I had no idea what the appropriate way to notify somebody about a fire. I inquired and discovered that in the event of a fire, the correct behavior would have been to return to my desk and file a Sev-2 incident with the Facilities team. This should in theory page someone who could respond to the building being on fire. I asked if they meant Sev-1, but they said Sev-1 would be reserved for a fire that was impacting website traffic.
Then they need to move to GTK5 or GTK6. It's funny that G in GTK stand for Gimp but now i think it stands for Gnome.

the primary innovation is using deep learning to denoise the signal and the cost savings derived from being able to use a noisier signal.

whether you call it "SnR improvement" or "additive noise cancellation", it is undeniably adulteration of the signal.

Scientists Who Privately Supported Lab Leak Theory to Provide Answers Under Oath
"Resonance underlies aspects of the world as diverse as music, nuclear fusion in dying stars, and even the very existence of subatomic particles."

I learned recently that the harmonics of consonant musical notes have aligned frequencies. Meaning: the most consonant notes produce the most resonance between the strings. For example, two strings at a consonant interval of a fifth (3:2) have harmonic resonance every 3rd and every 2nd harmonic band. This is much easier to show with a visual of the spectrograms: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1cdRfvPtek44rH8k2GpMV...

As oscillations of neurons in the brain will also show this harmonic structure (due to the frequency following responses [1]), consonant notes may also produce the most neural resonance! But, we don't have the ability to measure and test this hypothesis yet.

> I live in a rich country, a trip to McD's for a family of 3 quickly adds up to €25

That's pretty cheap for a rich country (i.e. the US or UK), especially when you consider the labor/time saved when you don't cook. Also, most people who fall in the lower income strata don't eat out every day, so $25/€25 for an occasional McDonalds meal for 3 is pretty achievable.

The upper middle class in rich countries easily pay 2-3 times that price per restaurant meal.
I like that we've come to a point where people are shitposting on LinkedIn as a counter-point to these insipid:

The actual title of the article is "Oklahoma Proposed Bill Would Fine Teachers $10,000 For Contradicting A Student’s Religious Beliefs". The title here is extremely misleading.
I was in middle school around that same time, my parents got me the educational equivalent of Mindstorms (with RCX 1.0). We didn't have a PC and the educational edition came with a alternative LabView-based UI that ran on classic Mac OS. I remember seeing that article in Macworld and wanting to learn some of the other languages, but I never had much success. I can't say it was totally life altering, I was already headed down the path of an engineering career.

My college was still using the official Mindstorms sets for their intro to engineering classes, and so I recall finally getting my hands on the official Mindstorms software and finding it lacking. A classmate was using NQC to do it all, and his team let him do the programming. My team wasn't a fan of that approach so I stuck to the hardware.

How does this fare against patents? Isn't pretty much everything to do with the actual implementation of an MRI patented and copyrighted in some way to prevent anyone else from entering the game?
Ok. I am with you that the effects of inflation are (often) quite regressive. I am just not sure that Bitcoin etc. are the solution vs. better wages (more collective bargaining?), automatic tax adjusters etc.

Relying on speculative assets, in the sense that they are not producing widgets that can be sold at higher prices due to inflation, to compensate for inflation might or might not work. The world isn't running on Bitcoin, so the limit doesn't quite bite into the real world without enough people imbuing it and Bitcoin with value. I am not taking an anti crypto stance here, more saying that trying to solve this problem via crypto might not pan out/there are other approaches, too, that should be pursued.
I agree that Rails has a kind of a steep learning curve. Also agree that I didn't find the Rails Casts helpful - I found them out of date, so I didn't spend any time watching them.

For me, learning how to learn a new thing at times seems like the hardest part for me. For Rails, the best I've found is the Michael Hartl tutorial [1]. He walks you through setting up a blog with Rails - first the quick way and then the hard way, so you walk away with a nice understanding. He keeps the tutorial up to date and he's been available for questions when I've emailed him. It costs a few bucks ($39) but well worth it IMHO. I spent a few weeks going through that book, did a few apps on my own, and then was able to create new apps fairly quickly.

The official Rails Guides are a great resource too and kept up to date too [2].

Configuring your local rails development environment is pretty easy with the thoughtbot laptop script [3], otherwise it can be kind of a pain to do it from scratch.

Hi Alex!

Or if you took that class back in the mid-90's it might be interesting. ;)

I don't really understand the rationale for changing the Linux kernel at all here; yes, this is yet another footgun (tm), but this is purely a userspace problem. Especially given the examples regarding backwards compatibility given in the comments, I would expect a long-lasting userspace fix to come in the form of a new, better libc API. Not by prohibiting certain behaviour from the kernel-side of things.

That said, why is the obvious fix not simply "always populate argv[0] with pathname if called with NULL argv"?
> If you're coming from C, I understand that 11MB seems like a lot to you.

My issue is that the environment this thing is supposed to run on only has 30MB disk space.

> would you say that you prefer Go over Rust?

my answer is similar to my siblings. what stops me from using Rust the way it's intended is 100% learning curve. Unless I get paid for the time I invest (on the job) I would spend my evenings or weekends on gaining experience in yet another system/language or whatever. Pretty much did that during the first 20 years in this profession. I get that type-safety is a massive advantage so hopefully I'll get thrown on a Rust project eventually and then I'll meddle through :).

I'm not a fan of C++ especially for embedded. Nobody forces one to use exceptions but reality is, if I start an embedded project in C++, then the minute I don't pay attention somebody will end up refactoring and go overboard with templates or exceptions and then my flamegraphs look like the fires of hell.

2 things that I would love to get good at are Zig and Nim (in addition to Go where I'm far from an expert yet).
>Yes illegal immigration takes away from legal immigration.

Bullshit. This line of thinking is designed to get immigrants fighting and hating each other. A tool for the elites to divide immigrants into "deserving" and "undeserving" factions.
My case against analogies in tech is that they are abused at places where people want to avoid giving an actual explanation of how things really work. Some analogy + "read the code" is usually orders of magnitude less efficient than some wiki page with a couple of diagrams. If you want new team members to translate into dollars quickly, write things down.

I'm sorry, but Lightning is a mess and it would be irresponsible to suggest that it's safe.

1. Unpredictable fees make usage for small amounts almost require a long-lived channel to be worthwhile.

2. UX around Lightning channels are painful. You can't receive BTC in a channel unless you put BTC in as collateral. You can't spend more than the channel allows. Routing is unpredictable and fickle causing transactions to fail just as often (if not worse) as complete successfully. (Perfect for one-off transactions /s) All Lightning wallets (with the exception of one or two) are custodial and if they aren't, they cost a lot of energy to run on your phone because they're constantly chatting with the network.

3. The whole point of cryptocurrency is diversify the control across the network. The design of Lightning motivates large hub and spoke connections between users which consolidate control to a few individuals.

4. The complexity for any business to integration Lightning into their purchase flow is expensive due to the many states your channel can exist in and need to considered as part of your integration. Not to mention the added costs of monitoring the BTC network to protect your channels. Or you find a merchant provider you have to trust with your processing...at which point, you're just using credit cards by another name.

5. And due to the complexity of Lightning's design, there are systemic bugs which expose users to more risk than if they just used a gift card or credit card in the first place. (One case in particular, a channel which is mostly settled on side B (versus side A) such that A's value on their side of the channel is less than the dust limit of the BTC network (which is often given the highly fluctuating fees) will allow B to force the close of the channel causing A to lose their value in the channel (because A will need to spend more than their side of the channel is worth and will be a worse outcome than if channel A just ate the loss from the channel being maliciously closed)).
Thanks mate for the kind wishes, and we agree, graphs rock! Btw to which demographic did you try to market?
Those false positives are because fmri runs countless statistical tests and the earlier "misconfigured software" wasn't running stringent enough multiple comparisons corrections. Basically the same issue in the classic "jelly bean causes acne" xkcd (https://xkcd.com/882/). The exact number depends on voxel size, temporal resolution, and experimental condition but is somewhere close to tens of thousands of tests.

The "images" that are presented in fMRI studies and that contain false positives are representing results of statistical tests (t-values, and f-values after correction) not the contents of voxels. So the false positive rate of an fMRI has very little to do with the accuracy of a voxel's content in a structural MRI.
A program running in a computer would have a difficult time distinguishing itself from the computer hardware on which it runs. And it would have no direct perception of the programmer.

I couldn't have had a more opposite experience. My last job was as a solo dev on a legacy Rails 3.2 project. I didn't even know Ruby when I took the job, but have a lot of experience with other MVC frameworks. Learning Rails has mostly been a breeze with a lot of "I wish framework <X> did it this way, this makes a lot more sense" type of moments.

Rails docs are among the best I've ever used for a framework personally. They blow most things in the JS ecosystem out of the water.
I don't think they would do well if they switched to a pay-only system, but they might offer special features as subscriber-only or put limits on certain things in the free tier. If they offered no or limited ads and a simple chronological feed from friends in their paid tier, they might do well. Sort of the "get everyone in the world addicted to your crappy product and then make them pay to get a reasonable version of it" model.

> Which .NET framework do you use (Core/LTS)?

There is no "Core" anymore: LTS is now .NET 6. If you are building webpages, the "Legacy" .NET Framework 4.x is no longer relevant in any way (unless you are unlucky enough to have legacy apps with no drive/budget for cleaning up tech debt, and I'm sorry on your behalf). The last LTS "Core" version (.NET Core 3.1) is out of support in December and the upgrade path is simply .NET 6. There's only one choice right now and it is .NET 6. (It'll complicate a bit with .NET 7 in a few months, but only in the alternating LTS/"current" versions way of things like NodeJS, nothing like the Core/Framework confusion of the past few years.)

> MVC, Razor Pages, Web API and Blazor

MVC and Web API merged many moons ago, it's not really a choice between them, they use the same APIs and are built the same way way today.

(Editorializing: Razor Pages is making many of the same mistakes of ASP Classic or PHP/ColdFusion over again, and I don't see it as a great choice personally. Blazor is making similar mistakes to both Razor Pages and Silverlight, and
really feels like ASP Classic 2.0. I understand its appeal to some development teams, but wow does it seem like a clunker from my vantage point.)
I don't see how downvotes can be effectively implemented online without extensive action from community moderators/admins. In particular, you need people with platform-wide scope and permissions to prevent communities from brigading and such.

As a small-community moderator on reddit, we get blamed all the time for "downvotes from our community" by new users which is something we neither have insight into nor control over.

I don't see how this goes well. At least Reddit has managed to build a [propaganda death star](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheoryOfReddit/comments/sdcsx3/test...) with their new features associated with blocking accounts.

Will people be able to downvote tweets from official accounts for heads of state? What will Twitter do about downvote bot groups?
Yep, it builds HTML on the server side and sends it to the browser through normal get requests. Instead of constructing HTML in a mix of JS + HTML (JSX) you typically write a mix of Ruby + HTML called ERB.
That's entirely possible, just not how the story goes. When it comes to story in people presented as "marketing geniuses", it's always good to remember that they were probably equally good at selling themselves and their story.
No consumer asks for methane to be vented to the atmosphere.

Consumers have certain needs/desires (cooking, electricity, etc), but they don't have a need/desire for greenhouse gas emissions.

It may be most cost effective to allow gas leaks while delivering the gas, but that shouldn't be equated to demand leading to gas leaks.

When people ask me how to improve their programming this is my first advice - speed read docs/stdlib top to bottom and keep writing a lot of little things. It’s amazing how many people choose painful path of learning through osmosis.
Agreed but as evident in this post's discussion, developers only have the desire to do so once for <insert-favorite-web-framework> and then the need to do so again for any other framework is understood as the other being clearly terrible and immature.

That's exactly what I thought when I read this too. That system worked really well (not perfect, but did the job) back when Slashdot was super popular. I think your right, good idea in the right hands and if they are careful with how they do it.
This is the main issue I have had with the response to the pandemic. Covid is not the first time in modern history we have had a contagious virus that kills people regularly (see: flu). So pre-Covid, everyone was gambling that their non-social distancing behaviors would kill someone through spreading a contagious disease. The risk was very small but clearly non-zero, and members of the public clearly decided en masse that going about their normal lives was more valuable than that increased risk of killing someone with the flu.

Now comes covid and people who happily accepted the risk of flu exposure/spread pretend that value judgement has never been made before and it is gauche to even talk about it. At some point it is a reasonable possibility that the threat of covid in terms of death and disease will be equal to or less than the threat of flu. It's difficult to predict exactly what that number is but it is at least theoretically quantifiable number. What's the point of maintaining restrictions at that point when the known value system of the public accepts that level of risk?

That number should be talked about, and people should stop pretending that weighting convenience and other factors against numbers of deaths is a sociopathic thing to do. Everyone has been doing it long before covid.
The basic patents all expired ages ago. There are details patented by everyone, but there is a lot of FTO.

Yeah, the Freudian explanation for why this worked looks like pseudo-scientific gibberish.

> By the Freudian psychology, an unconscious gift from the woman to the husband. The woman offered her eggs and the guilt has just disappeared. Because as stated on changingminds.org, by the Freudian theory, “an egg also has the connotation of life and birth, making the creation of the cake more meaningful - the housewife thus ‘gives birth’ for her husband.”
That's not clear to me. I don't know much about things like clothes fashion, but e.g. eyeglass fashion is completely dominated by Luxottica (resulting in eye-wateringly high markups) and fashion-adjacent fields such as music are still dominated by just a few labels (this one you can say is basically a product of legal lobbying for protections).

The pattern there is that small producers for the most part fail and fizzle out. The few successful ones get snapped up by the big players.
False; the heat pump is still more expensive. You need COP of >=4 with baseline rates, and it only gets worse from there (the baselines are tiny, and TOU is also bad). Heat pump water heaters only barely scratch 4 under ideal conditions, so you'll generally do worse with a HPWH than with a condensing gas one. Arithmetic is about the same for home heating systems.

Basically around here (PG&E) you should only electrify if you can also get your electrons from not-the-grid.
