The only thing exporting a pool does is declare "I am not being mounted by someone else". The FAULTED state would be because the search paths for the devices didn't exist. Clearing /etc/zfs/zpool.cache and doing `zpool import -f` would fix it entirely (ZFS identifies the disks by UUIDs in the headers AFAIK).

> You seem to be arguing your point backwards to me. Lead was only outlawed when refining advanced to a level to permit economically viable high octane fuel without it.

Ethyl alcohol was an option, but:

> Kettering himself had designed the self-starter a decade before, wrote James Lincoln Kitman for The Nation in 2000, and the knocking was a problem he couldn’t wait to solve. It made cars less efficient and more intimidating to consumers because of the loud noise. But there were other effective anti-knock agents. Kitman writes that Midgley himself said he tried any substance he could find in the search for an antiknock, “from melted butter and camphor to ethyl acetate and aluminum chloride.” The most compelling option was actually ethanol.

> But from the perspective of GM, Kitman wrote, ethanol wasn’t an option. It couldn’t be patented and GM couldn’t control its production. And oil companies like Du Pont "hated it," he wrote, perceiving it to be a threat to their control of the internal combustion engine.

> TEL filled the same technical function as ethanol, he wrote: it reduced knock by raising the fuel's combustability, what would come to be known as "octane." Unlike ethanol, though, it couldn't be potentially used as a replacement for gasoline, as it had been in some early cars. The drawback: it was a known poison, described in 1922 by a Du Pont executive as "a colorless liquid of sweetish odor, very poisonous if absorbed through the skin, resulting in lead poisoning almost immediately." That statement is important, Kitman wrote: later, major players would deny they knew TEL to be so poisonous.

Probably not, the interest follows public outrage which wasn't there in 2021 because how dare you speak the word "endemic"...
> Some developers really like to be left alone, and it's terrible for the business

The problem is sharing credit. What is the incentive for a good developer to share credit with a bad developer especially when the don't like each other?

If you do mob programming how would you know who is making contribution and who is slacking and how to rate the performance.

> The amount of outright hostility I've faced professionally for suggesting mob programming was staggering.

For a good reason. In my experience great developers don't mind helping out but they expect to be recognized which is fair.

20 Years of .NET: Reflecting on Microsoft's Not-Java
I feel like I have read this same article two dozen times, each by a different author.

The internet and I grew up together; it's nearly always been a part of my life. I use the internet every day for several hours. My career involves constant use and access to the internet. I also get my news and communicate with friends via the internet.

All that said, I spend time away from the internet every day and not as some forced action to distance myself from it. I don't see the internet as some perverse addiction that I need to break. If I'm not working for a stretch of days, there's a good chance that I will not use the internet simply because no situation comes up that calls for it.

The idea that 3 days away is life and mind altering is deeply concerning to me.
Please reconsider because I’ll do myself a disservice? Or please reconsider because I won’t take 1% of the marginal revenue I generate and we can’t have that kind of thinking going around?
Interesting read. Of course the application to software projects and products is obvious. Agile is a word I hate, because world + dog is claiming to be agile (like it is a adjective rather than than an adverb). No surprise because the opposite of agile would be something negative, like "slow" which is of course not a great way to market yourself. So, it's a completely hollow term.

But there are some analogies. In software, decoupling things is a smart move. For example asynchronous ways of working with e.g. pull requests, allows people to continuously integrate changes and enables continuous delivery of features. Many projects and companies now do this.

The beauty is that you can also decouple the planning and processes for those features. Not a lot of companies do this (not enough I would argue) but it is very standard practice for OSS projects. E.g. Linus Torvalds doesn't give a shit how agile your team is, how your retrospective went or how many bullshit points you assigned during your bi-weekly bullshit bingo session. He'll throw your PR back at you if it isn't right. How you get it done is your problem; not his. When you get it done is your problem as well. His job is to ensure your work won't get in until it's done right. Not a lot of companies have gate keepers like that. Maybe they should. Of course maybe with a bit less of the abuse and passive aggression of course.

It's a format that stimulates experimentation as well. Somebody will do some work. And if other people like it, it gets merged and more work like it starts happening. The whole thing moves forward organically. In some projects at a ridiculous pace as well. Exactly the thing that many large companies struggle to do.

I think Google is a great example of a company struggling a lot on that front lately. But I'm sure all their teams are super agile. But I wouldn't all what they do particularly quick, smart, or effective. I think everybody, including probably many Googlers, has lost count of just how many communcation/chat/voip/video thingies they have. That's not experimenting, that's just repeating the same mistakes over and over again. We got it wrong! Again! Let's do it again. For fifteen years straight. Whatsapp comes along and eats their lunch. They copy it. And Slack comes along and eats their lunch. So they copy that and people discover they want to use Zoom instead of hangouts. So they copy that and call it Meets. Endless iterations of "maybe this will work?" .. "nope, that didn't work either" .. "This time we surely got it right!" .. "Nope, still wrong". What Google does is the opposite of Agile. It's also very expensive. And it's very common across the industry.
Even if it succeeded, it would be yet another cat-and-mouse game with Google, for little benefit. Of course anyone is free to work on whatever they want, and I might use it if a solution existed.

Nymphcast and Kodi work relatively well as a substitute, but aren't integrated in google's products like youtube (you can still use "share to" usually).
Try building FB or Google without technology, and then you come back and say that the business strategy is all you need.
Where did you obtain such a test, if you don't mind sharing that detail? Did you know what you'd be getting, or did the "app-assisted" aspect come as a surprise (which is how it sounds)?

Our bodies self-correct to maintain a constant calorie expenditure. Marathoners and lean-mean bush people were found to burn as many calories daily as a middle aged woman from Chicago. Takeaway: eat less if you want to lose weight.
On the other hand, increasing performance by 0.5% at their scale is big savings. Certain kinds of optimizations can save over 10% in runtime performance, easily. That means less compute, less engineering time spent optimizing with other approaches, snappier performance compared to the competition, and so on.

Yeah, pay the "business" person better who decided, wisely, to fund these kinds of projects. But in my experience, it's a lot easier to find a strategic thinker who can understand my previous paragraph than it is to find an engineer who can accomplish it. It's especially hard to find engineers who can see that opportunity, explain it well enough to get funded, and bootstrap the project until it shows enough promise to justify itself.

You're not wrong, though, that network effects and so on are a much bigger determinant in competitive advantage at a large scale. But "business strategies" can and do include ideas like "don't buy extra data centers".

My idea of pairing is having two devs on the same feature or story. They don't nessesarily sit together coding at the same time but rather coordinate and possibly pair up when each gets stuck or is faced with a decision that they feel has longer range consequences. This ensures that multiple people are familiar with certain features or functionality and keeps the devs from feeling like they are siloed. It also ensures a steady march to done. However, each person is still on their own schedule for the most part.

That story about the complex nums being tame and not the others, where it is told?
I know that this is completely a personal preference, but for me, there's no point to watching most sports events delayed. Sure I'd watch a clip if something remarkable happened, but the point for me is to be there (remotely) as it happens. I wouldn't have re-watched the whole women's CAN-USA gold medal game the next day if I hadn't stayed up till 1:30 watching it, I would have at most just watched the highlights. The one personal exception to that is Formula 1, where I'll go to great lengths to avoid spoilers for a race that I couldn't watch live.

I don't know much about the background of the author, but I feel that they understate the challenges in doing AI-based scoring for figure skating. They mention being close to the "ideal form", and say that it might be easier than expected to judge the artistic elements, but don't really support this. Figure skating is an art, and judging it in any way where the artistry isn't at a similar importance to the technical aspects defeats the purpose.

I do acknowledge the point on needing to be skilled to tell apart tricks. The figure skating pundits would immediately recognize each figure skating trick, while I was left, at best, counting the number of rotations. I just don't know enough to see which edge of the skate the use, or how much toe there is.

Overall, I can't agree with a lot of the author's points. Without tripling each event (to gain a larger sample size), and radically changing the sports in play, there isn't much you can change. Sure you could drop all bracket games and do a full double-round-robins, but I feel that that would hurt the games far more than it would help.
I can't say I'm surprised, but I can't help but feel he would have been much better off if he wasn't so rich. I wouldn't be surprised if they kept him locked up for life to ensure there is no possibility for anyone to contest the property seizures.

>> Because they change the way we acquire knowledge. Anyone who has taken trips to foreign countries before smartphones and GPS would have been forced to talk to _people_.

This is such an excellent point, because it starts to bring into focus the really terrible problem of smartphones: There's nowhere to escape. The minds you encounter now, of people of any age, whose brain-meat is capable of looking you in the eye and not checking their phone for 5 minutes, are rare. It is lonelier than it was when Lonely Planet was the dog-eared guidebook. Even then, I prided myself on not checking guide books before I went. That attitude's been lost (and more importantly, the adventure and discovery has been lost) because it's virtually impossible to avoid seeing the weather and being sold ads in your pocket the moment you buy a ticket anywhere. That particular experience of traveling, meeting people, having unplanned experiences, getting lost in the world -- it really encapsulates all of the things we've lost to this hypnotic online lifestyle in one fell swoop. And it's so central to the human experience, it's fuckin terrifying to me what these new human-bots are going to be like without understanding or sympathy for it.

>> You can't see the water your swimming in

Neither can any of us. But I'm glad my folks banned me from watching too much TV, and told me it would rot my brain. I'm pretty disgusted with the Yuppie generation that raised children by handing them smartphones to stop them from crying, and never checked in to see if their kids were being raised to think or not.

I still find those people, look in the eyes of another new human and learn things. It's just hard, and when you meet them it's like meeting someone in a wasteland. You're just happy to see each other. But hey, I was at a bar a few nights ago and chatting with a girl and her boyfriend who were very shy, but she told me about her art show (all promoted online) and I said I'd bring some friends. And as I walked away I heard her say, "see?! What did I tell you! Going out and meeting people in person!"

And... yeah, I'm sad.
Thanks for your comment, one of the authors here…

Fully self-learning systems are certainly one of the overarching goals of our field. Unsurprisingly, there are many challenges to be solved along the way.

> why not make an ASIC for the prettrained model

Our paper does not really touch the topic of deployment (except for the study on post-deployment degradation of the circuits, maybe). Model-specific ASICs, however, would likely not pose an economically viable solution.

> We can do robust training on GPU already.

We certainly can! Deploying those trained models on novel, "imperfect" hardware is the challenge.
Off topic: has anyone tried nix on FreeBSD? How is it?
> In "output" you have to include quality (fewer bugs), improved codebase knowledge (bus factors etc), improved team cohesion etc.

yes, this is important: for a senior / expert, knowledge transfer, i.e. showing someone else what to do, often is much slower than "just doing the work by yourself"; but that does not make its value lesser.

If you optimise for productivity today, you might regret it tomorrow.

A double-slit experiment without slits
Well, one particular thing we'd see if there were a meaningful example on the home page is that Skip doesn't use a keyword to declare new symbols, opting instead declaration being conflated with first-assignment.

http://skiplang.com/docs/functions.html#variables

Misspelled variable assignments will silently succeed, rather than error because the symbol doesn't exist. I think that's a massive mistake and it speaks to a relative lack of large project development on behalf of the Skip designers.

So, I guess, in a backwards way, it's better for them to hide their syntax away from the home page, because I wouldn't have spent as much time on the site if I had seen that right away. "Time on site" metric improved, but to no meaningful result.

Also, in the year 2022, the site does not have a TLS certificate.
In college, I signed up for a medical test where you got $20 for filling out a massive questionnaire about health, habits, family, just about everything you'd need to build a massive medical background. We got another $20 when we showed up to spit in a vial for DNA sequencing. I don't think we ever provided names or addresses but I'm sure you could build a pretty complete profile.
And guess who will be justifying the slap on the wrist fines because "emergency" and giving them effective clean slate moving forward.

I’ve worked with plenty of people with “bad experience”. People who don’t learn from their mistakes, and consistently repeat the same errors, even things as basic as not testing their code before creating PRs.

I guess this model works if you identify and fire those people early, but in general, this seems like a great way to retain proven career underperformers.

There was the Rover Jet-1 from 1946. It is exibited (or at least was) at London science museum.

https://collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/objects/co25218...

"When JET 1 was launched, the gas turbine ‘jet’ engine was seen as a symbol of modernity and of British technical prowess. Many viewed it as the power source of the future, but test driving showed that its poor fuel consumption and slowness to respond to the throttle made it unsuitable for road transport."

Gas turbines are efficient when they are allowed to run at optimal speed, which is close to the maximal power. Cars starts and stop all the time which is not optimal. In addition, acceleration is poor, which most car owners would find unacceptable. For uses where they can run for a long time on optimal speed, like in power plants, they are a good fit, otherwise not so much.
That’s incredibly racist.
Amusingly to me, I think the opposite.

About Windows 11: I switched my home desktop PC to Linux when I upgraded it early last year. I still have Windows 8 lying around mostly unused on a partition, but since it's a 32 bit version I would have to do a complete reinstall, and most of the software I'm using (including most games, thanks to Steam) runs just fine on Linux, so I haven't worked up the motivation to do it yet. And stories like this don't really increase my urge to install Windows...
I don't get your point. Plenty of sites have `www` (though most will forward to it from the non-`www` version. A company's homepage isn't defined as their first-level subdomain. On top of that, many companies have different homepages. Some are for their products, some are for their company.

Of 545 commits, 193 mention "fix" or "fixed" or "bug". That is 35.4%, quite high, compared to 10 large C projects I analyzed in 2019, which have a median of 25%.

That could mean file systems are hard to create, or that this particular one is buggy.
