Fly.io's blog posts are incredible, they really seem to really enjoy what they do and want to share what they've made with everyone else. I love them for that.

I wish that more companies could be like this and skip the corporate BS, it shows that they really have something outstanding to offer.
I wonder how anyone in IT could take Graeber seriously. One of his opinions about programming was that programmers work "bullshit jobs" for their employer and do cool open source stuff in their free time which is demonstrably false.

When playing codenames in German you usually have the dictionary rule / Google rule.

If you come up with a word and you aren't sure if it exists check if it is in the dictionary or if Google knows it.

So no making up words like

He says this is also a world record, but JET got 0.67 in 1997 (according to Wikipedia). The missing asterisk may be that this Q was the average for the whole shot, whereas the 1997 result may have been measured over a short time. Just my speculation, based on slide 21 here: https://fire.pppl.gov/iea_bp_w60_stork.pdf

I wonder what the ages of the selected participants in the shown data set were.

I recognized all of the male words, but I sent the female words to my girlfriend, and she barely knew any. She suggested that younger women might not know these words.

That could just be a self-rationalization for not knowing them, but I didn't see the paper address the issue of age much, or generational changes.

I wonder how that plays into this.

I feel like the student loan issue wouldn't have been so bad if they were mandated to be used in state for public schools. You aren't going to be six figures underwater with an in state tuition bill of what like $14k before any aid or scholarship at UCLA. If you work full time in the summer you can put a huge dent in that too. Landing a favorable internship in a summer can actually net you ahead.

My CS lectures barely have any women. 1/10 students in a class of 200-300 are women. In more difficult/less mainstream classes (operating systems, networking, sometimes PL theory), it's 1/20. The game development club I'm in has 2 woman in it (including me) out of the ~20 people that regularly show up. This is in 2019-2022.

My school also hosts a hackathon for women and underrepresented gender minorities every year (organized by a student org that rents out a building from the school for it). The hackathon is also open to high school students. Many people I've talked to there talk about how they only went into CS because someone they knew invited them to the hackathon, or have made friends and feel less alone in CS because of it.

There's a real need for these groups. Whether men needs their own groups is a separate discussion that I have no real stance on.
There’s no piece of the Tomamak individually that can’t be miniaturized or benefit from economies of scale. It doesn’t require exotic fuel like nuclear fission reactors do. It doesn’t need gigantic quantities of space and material like wind and solar. It doesn’t have high up front engineering costs like geothermal. One day a tokamak might be an off the shelf industrial purchase, maybe akin to an MRI machine.

That might start to question where do we spend money and refocus it to solving problems... Can't have that...
You seem to be conflating 'competitive' with being highly competent.

In my experience, it's not necessary to be competitive, but pursuing a high level of competence IS quite important.

Yes, doing just enough to pass a day will likely affect your career.

Having said that - being a generalist can be a skill all on it's own. Having the meta-ability to pick something up quickly and doing useful work with your new knowledge can be a highly useful skill, especially if you are working on smaller teams.
I don't know where "around here" is or even what "girls got extra points even on studies where they were massively over-represented" means. Are you talking about grades? "points" towards college admissions?
Agreed. But there is blowback on the actual scientists doing the real work.

I suppose you could say that they also get benefits from appealing to the IFLS crowd, so live and die by the same sword. I believe IFLS does more harm than good, but it's hard to be sure.

FWIW, setting up a Redis server and setting up some basic caching middleware is pretty straightforward in my experience. Did this at my job a month ago in an afternoon.

I'd say the biggest overhead is adding Redis if you don't already have it, and that addition's difficulty will vary based on how you host Redis. We use Elasticache on AWS, so just a few clicks and set it in the same VPC.

I guess the real question comes down to how you feel about an extra moving part. Redis is probably the part of our system that has had the least hiccups (very much set and forget and no resource issues so far), but I can understand in the case where you'd rather not add more than a DB.

I'd say it's just as easy to setup as Postgres. Elastic search I hear is a pain, though I have no personal experience.

110v does nearly halve your peak power draw... But the transformers have a bit of added complexity and in homes and businesses you need thicker wire to move the same amount of power.
I used tc, CAKE and ifb for a small ISP router-on-a-stick implementation (around 2000 end-users) and it did wonders with the limited bandwidth I had to work with (around 3Gbps). More simple to configure than HTB, no more playing around with lots of knobs. Even during high peak traffic the latency would stay low.
Good question. It's for performance reason. Calling into kernel is expensive. Lock acquired in the user mode is much faster than lock acquired in kernel.

A typical lock acquisition using futex looks like:

(a) while !compare_and_swap(&lock, 0, 1) // see if flag is free as 0, lock it as 1
(b) futex(&lock, WAIT, 1) // sleep until flag changes from 1

(a) runs in user mode and it's very fast. It's just one CMPXCHG assembly instruction. If the lock is free, it's acquired in one instruction as 1 (locked).

If the lock is not free, then do the expensive call into the kernel to sleep via futex at (b). Futex() helps in detecting the change of the value while putting the thread to sleep, to avoid hogging the CPU.

Considering that there are TikTok employees in china - both engineers and moderators, there is no chance that china doesn't influence TikTok. Even Zoom which is a clearly american company that has chinese employees wasn't immune to chinese influence.

I am a bit surprised that sateen is on that list since it is one of the most/more common fabric used for bedding.

Damask is a bit more funny word in that video games tend to commonly use it for items, given that it was popular during the middle ages. Never seen it in clothing stores.

There isn't a wikipedia article about jacquard as a fabric, which is a bit odd. There is one about the Jacquard machine?

Chambray was an popular fabric in the 19th century, but I don't remember seeing it in clothes stores.

Chenille seems to be a fabric used in yarns.

No, that is exactly what you are doing.

All the available evidence shows boys, especially, do less well across the board when raised without a father in the home.
Maybe true but there's a lot of survivorship bias in the population. Software shops are often hurting for clear communicators. Winsome folks tend to get bumped into leadership roles even if they start out slinging curly braces and semicolons.
The newer F150 also weighs more. Also, if it didn't have to make twice the power, it would probably get 40mpg today.

"110v vs 220v amp tone"
https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/110v-vs-...
The US grid (the last-mile bits anyway) isn't 110 volts, it's 220. It's just our houses that are wired for (mostly) 110 V.

Edit: I would love to see some sort of hybrid 110/220 V residential wiring/plug standard take hold in the US. It would require more expensive cable in the walls (since you need one additional conductor) and plugs, but it's totally doable. Most electrical products and appliances made these days are easily converted between 110/220, or run just fine on either.
People get way too hung up on the concept of "hard" currency. It really takes some study of economic and financial history to understand that currency is just a means to an end, and that hoping for some immutable piece of value in your personal vault isn't what powers our world. Money is far more abstract than anything in the crypto world, and that's why it's not a good long-term bet.

I'd encourage you to read an excellent primer on the subject: The Ascent of Money by Niall Ferguson. Money is a social construct, not anything tangible. You can create money from leaves you rake in your yard, and organize your neighborhood around how many leaves you have. You can all agree that the giant stone at the bottom of the bay belongs to the unfortunate sailor who lost it, and therefore he's still wealthy even though he can't get his giant stone back (true story). You can agree that the people who are oldest in society deserve the most access to credit, and give them services accordingly.

Basic point here is that wealth is derived from society creating connections and performing services for each other, not from holding currency. Currency is simply the oil in the machinery which helps facilitate these connections. It has no intrinsic value, and the easier it flows, the faster the engine can run. That's why the Fed conducts QE and money printing - it's about the economy, not the currency. Inflation is a side-effect but it's often preferable to loss of real assets and jobs and lives.
I love this account! My dog also is a great pup, with some behaviors we’re working on, like barking and reactivity. From the scenery it looks like central MA if I had to guess too!
The demographic data, which you can pretty easily look up, is pretty clear on that. Women started joining the workforce dramatically in the '70s. What happened in the '90s was the death of manufacturing.

One thing to remember when looking at manufacturing capacity in the United States is that it's somewhat skewed. For instance, when a CPU doubled its speed, the US government decided that we had doubled our manufacturing capacity. I don't know what other interesting if you points have skewed the data.
I missed that ratio part. I actually thought it they were saying 1.75x more expensive for 3d vs 2d. I wouldn't expect one art style to be thousands of times more expensive than the other. Good catch.

Also regarding 2d cinema animation, I'm speaking through a very American lens (considering the link points to Disney) so take what I say with a grain of salt.
Presumably heat dispersing into the air rather than into the water would be an example of an inefficient heating element.

>just watch CNN, CNBC, etc

Why? CNN and CNBC are viewed by around 1-2 million people during prime time. There are literally Youtubers who do nothing but eat junk food who get more views than CNN [1]. Just because something is a big deal on CNN or Fox News doesn't mean it's actually a big deal.

The fact you give any credence, one way or the other, to what Whoopi Goldberg (???) says is more a reflection of your own values than a reflection of any kind of social collapse or the emergence of some kind of fascist regime. Oh no! An actress on day time television said something her advertisers didn't want her to say and now she's suspended for two weeks! This clearly is in indication of the power Antifa has on the media and our thoughts!

Infotainment systems are one of the biggest selling points if you've seen any car ad lately. Why let the customer upgrade the unit and keep that same car for a decade, when you can make that impossible and then entice them with the latest infotainment system so they buy a new car every few years.
It's not exactly my area but I have some related experience. I suspect the big problem with this is power use.

A standard issue wheelchair is very efficient on reasonably smooth and flat surfaces. Beyond the obvious problems with e.g. stairs, you can get around ok using just arm muscle power in lots of places.

This efficiency helps also if you can't use your arms or the slopes are more challenging. Reasonably sized and weighted batteries can extend your scope a huge amount in very practical ways.

As soon as you get away from wheeled locomotion though, the power needs become much more problematic. Not to mention the system complexity is orders of magnitude higher than a basic chair, with all that entails.

So short story, I wouldn't expect any significant impact in the next few years. It's possible that for some very specific use cases you'll see a bit more robotics in assistive technology. It's also possible that we'll learn some good tricks from robots about negotiating particular obstacles (e.g. curbs) which can be retrofitted to "dumb" conveyances and improve things...

Peterson's whole schtick is challenging young men to take responsibility for their own outcomes.

That's correct. That's sort of the point. Fundamental research is in kind of a slump right now, and it's hard to judge where (or whether) it should continue.

Very useful if you ever participate in a Turing Test (original version, ie the imitation game).
Nobody has ever wanted to overload a cargo ship until it sinks but it seems like in the past ~10-15yr the idea of worthwhile risks even existing have become demonized except in the most abstract settings (math, finance, etc).

In 1980 the guy that fixed a radio antenna in a blizzard because "what good is fall protection if I don't use it" got told he did a good job. Today he would be chewed out for taking unnecessary risks.
That's a very good suggestion to have a discord server on Embedded systems
I think it depends. When the Iraq war was starting, I could see the justification for wasting a bunch of Haliburton's time as a form of civil disobedience or protest, for example.

Personally though, I don't do this, nor would I. I think it's too easy become corrupt from doing things this way.
Why? You take a lot of personal risk when you do end runs to a board for this type of thing.

The normal solution is to go out and get a new job -> I've done that with crazy bosses. Very simple. You can even leave on OK terms.

Or network namespaces? User-space tcp might also make it easier to do tcp checkpoint restore and container/app migration. Interesting write-up.

I keep thinking of the nightmare of keeping up with the world of Internet middleboxens, broken net layer implementations and icmp hacks that the Linux kernel supports and makes 'just work'. The jump to usermode tcp seems interesting if you're not worried about that (and I've been watching the formal-proven ip/tcp stack space like a hawk for years), but I've been burned so many times with non standard stacks and 'oh you need to connect to that non-updated lynxos system and huh' or 'hah could you enable ecn or this obscure tcp option because... Legacy?'... And sometimes I need tc/netem and netlink and I don't know...
Yes, unexpected stuff happen to baseload powerplants too. Once every year on average maybe? Probably less. If that happens you may need to pay for balancing once a year.

Meanwhile solar is unexpected on the scale of minutes to hours, every day. It's not the same.
The female words are largely romance language loan words because they're related to textiles and fashion and, in the English speaking world, France and Italy dominate those fields (or did for a long enough time, historically, that tons of the terminology comes from their languages, anyway).

Or if your management philosophy doesn’t mesh with theirs.

“Tell me about the last time you had make your team work late for a deadline.”

“I don’t. It’s been my experience as both an IC and a a manager that crunches just burn people out, and you end up getting less quality work out of them. It’s much better to communicate early and either adjust deadlines or deliverables.”

“What if you can’t?”

“Unless there is an external forcing function on the company, everything should be negotiable. Does this happen a lot here?”

“One or twice a year.”

“Huh. It’s only happened to me once in ten years, and that was due to a multimillion dollar contract deadline. If it happens regularly here, then the company should fire the directors of engineering for gross incompetence. They can’t project manage.”

Needless to say, I didn’t get the job, but at that point, why would I have wanted it?
I figure this is the tough transition once the kids are older and try to get back into the career-mode after a long hiatus. I hope you are finding your footing.

Technically all businesses with a large interest inside X jurisdiction will have leverage against it in some way. For example Microsoft had to hand over its Windows source code to China. By extension of that leverage you can assume that jurisdiction has some control over it. In US it could be national security letters issued to TikTok. In China it could be their equivalent issued to someone physically on their soil.

I'm not on-board with appropriating literature on DSDs, where sex was to some extent "assigned" in cases of ambiguity.

It's an appropriation that serves a political viewpoint that sex as an internal feeling, rather than a reality that is recorded; not assigned.
No, unless you count thermonuclear explosives. This experiment didn't demonstrate it either. The fusion only yielded 1/3 the energy used to heat the plasma.[1] That doesn't include the energy needed to run the rest of the machine (magnetic containment etc) and it doesn't include any losses converting the fusion energy to electricity (which was not attempted).

I've already said twice now that it's not patent-worthy, so it seems we're in agreement on that point.
Classical silicon chips got to exponential growth because chips were profitable - the profits could be poured back into R&D enabling a natural feedback loop. Profitability wasn't terribly difficult because computers were VERY fast at calculations compared to the next best thing - humans.

For QC to hit natural exponential growth, it would need to be economically feasible compared to the next best thing - classical computers. Is there anything even a tiny QC can do better, faster, and cheaper than a classical computer?

Of course! The problem is not women!

The problem is media, schools, companies, everyone buying into this in a collective delusion.

Men also think this, but unlike women we are even encouraged to strengthen these insane ideas that we are somehow inferior (gets imprisoned more often, less academic success despite supposedly being extremely privileged.)
