I did not feel forced out, actually management tried to convince me to stay with a pretty compelling counter offer. I knew I was stuck in a rot of most coworkers and management seeing me as this “brilliant but unapproachable authority”, and I wanted to start fresh in a new place with humbleness. Much easier to do in a new company.

I know what you mean and I have seen other people being managed out of the company with smiles, via gradual marginalization and removal of responsibilities.

If I had to guess why that happened to them is because they were “more jerk, less brilliant”, in my case it was slightly the opposite as my contributions happened to be really significant for that company.
>Does anonymity do more harm? How did they measure that? What are the metrics and the data

Not everything has to be a metrics based, data collected thing, but if you insist. Lets do a thought experiment.

I'm an individual with a radical hot take on something
I want to exercise it in the market place of ideas... But then you've got that thing that led to Larry getting his face pulped by those guys last week...

Lets do a count.

Larry had a hot take last week:
Larry exercised it. +1
Beaten to a pulp. -1
It got out there, the the marketplace was enriched, Larry's face wasn't.
As a person with a brain, and knowing I have my name attached to my hot take, I am not at all incentivized to contribute to the marketplace of ideas. -1

If it was a really disgusting hot take, then I just go on with that hidden and never have it challenged or the edges filed off. Incalculable loss
+1-1-1=-1 in the short term.
Long term losses are incalculable.

Throw anonymity into the mix.
Anon X has this hot take.+1
Nother Anon responds: That's daft and here's why... +1
Nother Anon pulls an ad hominem adding nothing to the conversation +0
Another Anon goes "Hey, I see your hot take, but what if..." +1

Up to +3 already.

Now you have a plurality of viewpoints coming together in a mixing pot, some good, some bad, lots of garbage, but dome diamonds in the rough as well. And no one gets their face pulped!

And even in the case of garbage getting challenged, you can't fight disinfo, or horrid viewpoints without challenging them. They'll never get challenged if no one is willing to air that crap. Every now and again, someone comes around from an absolutely terrible way of looking at things. All it takes is time.

All things being equal, take the route of least perverse incentive. Anonymity wins just about everytime.

People underestimate the value of knowing the level of horrible people one is surrounded by. Seriously.
No, the point of 4k and scaling is that you still have a very high pixel density, so things look smooth and sharp. I would not think a native resolution using a 4k 27" screen would make much sense, as things would be tiny.
Wow, the ageism is strong in this one. Get over it, really. You’ll need to because you are just starting on this journey.

It’s not your age. It’s you. Taking responsibility and not letting age be an excuse is the first step.
Looks well and cool, but the enterprise "pricing" seems a little... optimistic.

> $5000/month

> An annual meeting with core team

I understand that these are technically "donations" but the incentives offered are very much just a lightweight support agreement for 2-10x the price.

I have no reason to believe that a python based UI solution that finally captures some market share could be a big success, and are that point the pseudo donation model would go out the window. Best of luck to these guys, would be cool to not be forced to use TKinter in school assignments.
I always try to follow a similar set of guidelines, but errors in literally any programming language just sucks at it. The proper error object should have these properties:

system info:
which module/function
what it tried to do
what it expected
what happened
important context values
[how to restart]
[how to cleanup]
underlying error object
…
…
user info:
human-oriented message
ways to resolve
formatting:
format for logging (a stack of messages)
format as json schema
format for debugging (a detailed stack of messages interspersed with a call stack)
format for innocent user

You may recognize first few lines as standard questions to answer before posting an issue. Instead we usually have a message field and maybe some call stack. Error paths can be half of a decent long-running program, but all we have is a stupid string and no standard way to extend that.
You don't deal with it.
Here is the thing: the key to happiness is having 0 expectations. When you have 0 expectations everything that comes your way is a bonus.

To put things in perspective: it's really easy to look at other people and thing: gee, by 35 they did X, Y and Z. Doing this means that you reduce those other people to X, Y and Z. You are not X, Y or Z. You are a human being that can grow on multiple dimensions and that more likely than not had unique initial conditions and unique environmental conditions compared to anyone else.

As long as: 1) you're healthy 2) you're enjoying what you are doing 3) you feel like you're growing along one or more dimension I would not fret it.

Time is not running out. Actually, your best years are ahead of you. You maybe no longer have the optimism you had when younger, but the realism you have now means you can actually get shit done and you can attack problems that you ideally can solve. That's enough.

The key of happiness is having 0 expectations and being happy with what you have.

Harmful crop breeds would have been selected against over the course of many generations, right? Now we're doing it on a larger scale, so the risks and rewards are greater. What is our knowledge of the risks and rewards? Are the rewards aligned with general human wellbeing, or just a profit motive? I don't know.
It's strange when monitor costs are being discussed while they are the primary tool for software development. If software developer produces $100k/year value, then it's worth spending several thousands of dollars for every percent of increased effectiveness. This can buy almost any monitor on the market.

I've found the following worth considering:

- It makes sense maximizing usable screen real estate, both in terms of pixels and area. Complex problems involve a lot of information and being able to view everything at the same time makes it easier to understand them. Personally I've found three 4K 32 inch monitors work well.

- OLED allows working comfortably at low lightning conditions.

- Many larger higher-end monitors support picture-by-picture, which allows splitting the monitor into multiple virtual monitors for separate inputs (2x or 4x per monitor). This is useful in case of multiple external test devices which can then be integrated into existing display setup.
Yes, I was using the $12M estimate. Take it as within order of magnitude approximation.
I use (two levels of) directories, and filenames:

appliances/fridge/2018-01-03-purchase-receipt.pdf

appliances/oven/2019-11-18-repair-invoice.pdf

medical/insurance/2022-02-03-insurance-card.pdf

automotive/registration/2022-09-10-registration.pdf

automotive/tickets/2019-09-10-parking.pdf

phone/t-mobile/2020-01-14.pdf

phone/pixel5a/2021-03-14.pdf

With two directory levels, you should be able to organize it so that all the top level directories fit on one screen of ls output / file explorer or whatever you want to use, as well as each second level.

I always prefix the filenames with YYYY-MM-DD, and I add a suffix with any extra keywords that might be helpful or to disambiguate several things from the same day, but in many cases it's obvious if the directory is just full of one bill per month or whatever, in which case I just do the YYYY-MM-DD.ext filename.

The system is largely optimized for having a place/filename to store things without too much thought, rather than retrieval since 90+% of things you store never actually need to look at again, and I don't mind clicking around for a few minutes for the rare occurrence when I do need something.

If you put this structure in google drive or similar you'll get OCR + keyword searches on the filenames for free, but you can also just sync it to any local filesystem to use "manually", or upgrade to the next latest and greatest cloud storage or whatever.

Whilst it was by far the most beautifully choreographed Olympic opening ceremony. Zhang Yimou outdid himself again, but the new technologies helped.
They do, but it's still a PITA when one comes up. It's great with KeepassXC database files because you can use the Merge databases function to manually merge the two databases (then delete the .sync-conflict).
This separation has existed since the first computer was built.
Unfortunately no. I abandoned my plan to buy 13 pro after comparing pictures to my wife's 12 pro and friends 11 pro. Both the new 13 pro max phones I got had horrendous picture quality, its not just the computational postprocessing, the raw images taken had bad picture quality. It probably has to do with the apertures in the lenses as some of the photographers in the Apple discussion forums were indicating. I don't think Apple tested this enough or paid enough attention to the mass production process. Very disappointed.

iPhones are very handy in taking kids pictures when you don't have time to go fetch a DSLR. Huawei P50 & Xiaomi seem to have better cameras but don't want to go anywhere near them.
What about something like React Native? You get Web, iOS, and Android with one codebase.
Do you know what he is referring to? Some kind of protest?
> Nearly everyone is a pretty large assumption, I think you speak mostly for yourself, not for 'nearly everyone'.

Exactly this. Additionally, I've known a number of parents that deeply regret having kids, and look on child free friends with envy, not sorrow.

It's not a socially acceptable view for them to have, so they generally keep it secret. And the majority of them still love their children, but have a very complicated relationship with the whole parenting situation. People don't want to talk about it, though, because it can come off like they hate their kids, which usually isn't the case.

We need to teach people from a young age that choosing not to have kids is a perfectly acceptable choice, if that's what they decide they want.
> c) does not support name-based retrieval: can't label things and get to them later by name.

I think I saw somewhere in the docs that you can tag items and reference them in the selector DSL. Maybe this is possible now? I haven't tried it though.

One other small gripe about CadQuery that I'd add is that its error messages (via its CAD kernel) are typically very opaque.
And not even that. Unless they are pretending that GTK+ or Qt or whatever they've chosen looks native on desktops.
The injunction is for violating the criminal penalty of trade secret theft. That injunction can be applied whether or not you signed an NDA.

(It's a bit nonsense that we as a country let corps get laws passed to make "trade secret theft" criminal, but it is what it is).

Correlation doesn't equal causation. Fisher would go ballistic at such assertions.
Truth be told I will be nothing but happy if I am wrong, as putting a self righteous, arrogant and rude person such as yourself in their place, will be bitter-sweet if I am correct in what I believe is about to occur.

I noticed you mentioned being Bi-Polar in one of your past comments so I will extend some grace and just say:

Some of your comments are very hurtful and although it may give you a thrill and allow you to reach those desperately wanted highs by making such comments, think of the people you are stepping on in order to achieve that.??

Talk to you next Saturday.
Don't forget a copier for receipts printed on thermal paper that become blank after a year!
I think you read much more into this than I wrote, in fact I have no idea what exactly in my comment you find terrifying.

Banning access to airplanes is already being done in cases where the airline decides a passenger isn't worth the trouble, just like a restaurant owner can ban people. Using a no-fly list is too much, and wouldn't do more than that either way.

Anti-vaxxers/Covid deniers have physically assaulted and sometimes even killed bystanders and it's not far-fetched to assume they don't take safety of other community members as seriously. Why would I want to share a plane with such people?
What a brilliant idea! I had heard that people find listening to the shipping forecast very relaxing, but I didn't realise they had such a strict format
For me, 4k @ 32" native resolution is perfect (not pixel doubled). I drive two BenQ displays from my MBP and absolutely love the setup! I can't stand 4k or 5k at 27" as it's too small with native, but way too big when doubled.
>I bet the risk of getting injured by Tesla beta version of FSD is miniscule compared to a risk of getting into accident caused by a human driver.

You can bet all you want, but human drivers, as flawed as they may be, are all fully liable by law for any mistakes they make at the wheel and have to pay with money or jail time plus losing their license.

Who is liable for the mistakes FSD makes? Who goes to jail if it runs down a pedestrian by mistake? Elon? The driver? Can the FSD loose its license like human drivers can for their mistakes?

You can't compare a human drivers to FSD safety when FSD has zero liability in front of the law and all the blame automatically goes to the driver.

one secret there is, they can photo record every source addr<->dest addr from the post item face, for some or all of the delivery, for years and years without fail, keep those records, and then do investigative work from that.
> I appreciate your frank admission that masking on planes and in restaurants is merely a ritual done to fulfill other people's irrational expectations.

I did not say or imply that it's a useless ritual.

What I did want to say is, it's a rule explained in advance, if people don't agree they can pick an airline that doesn't have it.

To answer the mask off during lunch premise. I don't agree with serving lunches on airplanes.

That said, lunches are served on long flights, they take 30 min out of a 9-10h flight, there is a risk but it's not as high as not having them.

Airlines have to serve food... people go hungry, hungry people are unruly... can't avoid it.

I hope you get my point.

> I am uncomfortable conforming to simply to respect the "boundaries" of the scolds

Respect other people's boundaries and respect the rules of carriage then. It's the same as respecting any other rule in society.

> Restaurants are different.

Sure, I also go to outdoor restaurants that are widely spaced, I don't worry there about catching covid... unless someone starts coughing at which point I would leave. I dont have the space and can't just leave an airplane.

> I'm not the OP,

Oh, I apologize, I'll pay attention in the future.

There's a definite information gap here waiting for someone to step in and fill it. Practically speaking these days, it's currently filled by special interest groups like the state bar and various voting leagues; they will do the heavy lifting of evaluating the candidates and issue recommendations.

Was it a problem a couple centuries ago, when offline media emerged and blossomed? It was the same effect, just smaller scale. Yet, free press is valued as essential for democracy.
> The formality and skill of the engrossed copy strengthened the persuasiveness of the Declaration by distancing its arguments from any individual. The document [also] helped protect the identities of the signers — the names were kept secret until 1777

This is a fascinating aside that I'd never considered before (and I did not know that the signatories were kept secret for some time). Thanks for the link.

I wonder if keeping the signatories secret was done to temporarily give the appearance of unanimity, since some congressmen refused to sign.

As just one example, if you live in an area where it is difficult to get dietary Vitamin A, you might enjoy the benefits of not going blind due to Vitamin A deficiency by eating Golden Rice[0].

Have you ever eaten a SweeTango apple? It is one of dozens of varieties that have been created in the last hundred years using genetic engineering via cross breeding[1]. Do you know why commercial tomatoes are so bland? Genetic engineering via selective breeding[2].

The fact of the matter is that all of the crops and livestock that we cultivate today are genetically engineered. The main distinction now is that we are technologically advanced enough to introduce beneficial modifications deliberately, rather than relying on random mutations and gene recombinations that occur in nature at random over hundreds or thousands of generations.

First it happend to be about 15 years ago. Still when there was the big boom of microbreweries in the US.

Don't remeber the exact numbers it was something like 8.000 worldwiede. 4.000 in Germany and 2.000 in Franconia.

Never verfied that.

It was interesting to start the TPU Podcast discord server. I was annoyed Connor showed up and convinced the talented researchers to spend their time on his server. But now I get to claim correctly that Eleuther never would have started without me, so I’ll put that up on the trophy shelf. Which happens to be next to Shockley’s trophy shelf, across the hall from MySpace.

It was a wild and fun ride. I ended up becoming a published, cited researcher thanks to Eleuther. https://twitter.com/theshawwn/status/1480479272078913539?s=2...

I’ve always wanted to do a postmortem writeup of my attempt at starting an open source AI lab. It was always my goal from the very moment I pressed the “create server” button, and it’s at least mildly interesting that it was successful — in spite of my efforts, not because of my efforts.

I do feel a pang of jealousy every time I see an article like this, and it would be nice if they’d occasionally link to our server (https://discord.com/invite/x52Xz3y) rather than mentioning it, but (with effort) I managed to transmute those feelings into amusement. It would have been better if I felt amused from day one.

If you want to make a quick shift from writing command line apps to writing GUI apps then you are the target for this. If you need to be writing high value mobile or desktop apps then this is a less of a compelling option as you note.

There are a lot of very high quality libraries like Pandas and SciPy that are not available in the React Native ecosystem. Tools like those provided by BeeWare let you add a GUI quickly. The folks interested in interacting with something running on these data science libraries tolerate imperfect user experiences more than the average consumer.

If we looked at React Native we could level your argument at it as well. Why use RN when you could build real native apps? Surely, that's the most optimal experience over a third-party platform, no matter how good RN is in practice.

Absolutely - the impact of the multi-touch screen and 'touch-not-stylus' design really cannot be understated.

I think people sometimes forget that there were lots of phones with giant touchscreens before the iPhone - but the problem was that they just weren't very good. Windows Mobile 6 dominated the world, and if they managed to get a capacitive screen and put a sensible UI on it that was actually responsive the marketplace might be very different today!
My advice would be to target a situation where clients search for you, rather the other way around (everything else I find unsustainable). For that you need to put your work out, like breadcrumbs - so the interested party gets curious and reaches out.

Has worked for me for the past seven years. The cost of putting your work out is basically zero these days - all you have to do it put the time in, which you have to do in one way or another anyway.

Not my field of expertise, but if I were a data science consultant I'd make sure I'm a top ten (%) kaggle person, and so on.
