Fear of Cold
25 is about the sweet spot for me. I thought pros were on 19s. And the local shop only had 32s, on the regular.

Though, for me, I suspect it is largely nostalgia. 25 is about the size of the first road bike I had, and that brings a ton of good memories for how well that bike rode. I didn't realize, until then, just how different the acceleration could feel between bikes.
For services like this, I'm always suspicious about pricing. I see an hourly rate, but it's hard for me to figure out how much it's costing me to have you manage this instead of me. As a result, I rarely buy software at an hourly rate even though it might make economic sense to do so.

Here's a suggestion: instead of quoting your own rate, instead say "we charge X% over and above our hourly cost for AWS, Digital Ocean, etc." That kind of price transparency would go a long way for me.

I also wouldn't have to spend hours trying to figure out what instances you use, the hourly rate, what you're charging, am I getting ripped off, and redo the whole process every six months.
There are already problems with this written in a comment above. I recall it would be like: do residents get it too? How long they need to be in the country to get the UBI? What about expats working in the country? and their kids? Should the kids get the money since birth or later?

And last one: as UBI comes from taxes (the state generates 0 money, just collect from others), what about those who decide not to work at all? How long until some of them stats asking for an increase in UBI because they cannot get a rent in the city?

It seems you have an idealistic view about human nature and that everyone is good and honest, not greedy, etc. The reality is not bad, but not so naive.

> Me: "I regret to inform you that US cups, UK Imperial Cups, and metric cups are different sizes..."

And I regret to inform you that that should read 'each of the US cups'! ('US legal' & 'US customary' iirc.)

In practice though, sod it, it's 250ml (or maybe Imperial if that's the measuring glass I'm using anyway.. but it also has ml on) near enough, how long I let it boil's going to affect it more anyway.
I remember this having read it before but for me personally this makes things harder to read and is way more complicated.

Oh, I don't think they do take it lightly! Building platforms _badly_ is kind of Microsoft's specialty, unfortunately. They have lock-in on the Xbox, but any kind of Steam-esque competitor for the PC has always been a miserable experience that nobody ever wanted to use.

That said, I did forget until now that GamePass exists - Microsoft isn't really challenging Steam anymore, they're doing kind of an end-run around them with their games subscription service, and it frankly kinda rocks. But for those who still want to outright purchase games, they still sell on Steam, because, again, Valve have made it worthwhile to pay the 30% to at least get the userbase and marketing bump.

When you stake, you are using your own money to guarantee that transactions on a network will process successfully. If something happens and they don't, you lose that bag.

Staking is just a very stupid loan that you give out without having any real insight into the people who borrowed from you.

I didn't get it until I figured this out: Scroll down. lol
I never started a conversation with a client or an employer, about work without clear idea how much I will get in return. Usually after taxes on a hourly rate measurement. If a company is not giving this information before the interview is not worth any attention at all. Period.

Nice!

Based on your wording, seems like you are involved with the project?

If so, I love the idea you all are chasing.

As a software developer, I've often thought about how great it would be to be able to take my setup with me without having to compromise on display. The current generation HMD is obviously not the end-game everyone is looking for, but you all obviously get the paradigm.
Depends on how much you travel. Depending on your state, you might be able to be a deputy constable in addition to your primary job.

The FBI postings I saw were way low. I'm already paid pretty lowly, so they are definitely not competitive ($75k was what I was seeing).
What if the people writing regulations are also dicks?
> Such ranges would render it pointless

They would surely make current employees ask, "So what do I have to do to move from my 45k to the theoretical 75k max?"
Premature is a medical term that's a little hard with someone with an intellectual disability to parse unless they're already familiar.

If you don't have that knowledge retained it's a much larger leap to figure out what "premature" means. you have to understand the prefix (pre = before) and know what "mature" means in this context (not old, but rather "not ready").

This complicates the fact that premature birth also requires a lot of prior understanding (why can a baby be born too early? why is that a problem?)

Perhaps the author could have elaborated a little with plain language... "Born too soon" might be clearer.
1. Integers would make the situation easier, but still overflow after ~50 days. You can't just increment delta every frame; frame times vary significantly and and if you aren't precise to the millisecond things will jump around.

2. It's not exactly cheap, and I don't think compilers put much effort into making sure you actually retain that precision. I have only really used floats in shaders though, and don't know what would happen.

3. I'm pretty sure that in practice you'd lose out on a lot of hardware-accelerated functions, doing trig and interpolations with multiple messy conversions. It's also possible you'd fuck up some compiler optimizations.
You are right. If I distribute copyright infringing content on a USB stick and sell it, I can look forward to an FBI investigation, 5 years in prison, and a fine of $250,000. If I write an algorithm to do the exact same thing over the internet, and monetize it with ads and subscriptions, I'm in the clear--as long as I can afford a staff of wagies to play copyright whack-a-mole in a somewhat timely manner.
In C++ I would consider the best option in those cases would be for the function that performs the operation to return an error rather than throw an exception. That way you avoid the race condition, but also don't have to worry about the overhead of calling it in a tight loop.

If the library you are using does throw exceptions, then I would probably start with just using exception handling. Then if I notice poor performance, add an initial check, purely as an optimization, while keeping the exception handling to deal with race condition.
We were discussing a way to flip up the headset a while ago. I'm not sure if we have the resources to put it in right now, but it would be cool.

edit: sorry, cheap shot at Facebook. I have no idea why BTRFS edge cases are not being fixed.

What I do know is that ZFS recently released a feature specifically for the hobbyist/frugal community. The feature allows you to grow an existing RAID array, something a financially sound business would never do. So no customer of anyone supporting ZFS would ever use this, and it took significant effort of ZFS developers to implement this. Not to mention that introducing feature potentially introduces weird behaviour in ZFS that might endanger its (reputation of) stability.

I'm super happy with it, (as my company was not in fact financially sound when we invested in our on-premise storage hardware), but if I was CEO of ZFS I'm not sure I'd sign off on it.
If the plan is to live off the savings, probably not. The idea is to make some investments, either stocks or real estate (for renting, for example), and have the money work for you.

It is not easy in any case, that's for sure. Besides, I sometimes think if I could get there, I would work time to time in interesting projects.

I've also noticed a tendency of "rockstar" types to entrench themselves. They'll bury some esoteric process/scripting/infrastructure or combination of the three somewhere knowing that it's a bit fragile but easy to fix. All so they can just say, "I fixed it" after the rest of the engineers have been trying to keep production running for 4 days.

That's not a crisis. The majority of startups have always failed. So nothing has changed. You can't reasonably describe a permanent situation as a "crisis".

While I'm not currently a hiring manager, I've done plenty of software developer hiring in recent years. It's not that hard. I always found candidates who could do adequate work. The managers and founders complaining about the difficulty of hiring either have unrealistic expectations, or they're just incompetent and don't know how to do it well. There's no limit to supply as long as you're willing to hire people with potential and invest in training them.

Funding isn't fixed. For startups there is effectively infinite investment capital available. You can always do another funding round if investors like your story.
that trend started 30 years ago
I think you made this point: The only way for this filesystem to survive, is to rename it. It's the only way it will continue to have users.

Is there anything in this mandate that prevents corporations from listing unreasonably large ranges?

For the sake of this example, let's say FAANG is looking for a software engineer and the range for the job listing is: 68k - 600k. Would this be allowed?

I ask because Denver, Colorado has identical mandated restrictions for job listings, and employers are skirting regulations by offering ridiculously broad ranges, putting everyone back at square one.
I think it is because linear regression is not science fiction enough even if that is the best that can be done on the data. We didn't hire this AI guy to do simple regressions!

You'd have to exert the same amount of energy to clone Bitcoin as is being used in it's mining. Because the input energy is scarce, it is not trivial to clone as you are saying.

You are also ignoring network effects entirely. Number of users of Bitcoin have increased year after year.
The Problem with Routers
Lovely, a hit piece on anyone who's likely to have thrived during the past 2 years. Just another article that talks extensively about introversion and never actually explains what it means, other than to equate it with shyness which is mostly wrong. And just for good measure, it's suggested that introversion might be added to the DSM! Despite composing nearly half of any given population, you're a freak and you should feel bad for it, shun the non-believer. How dare you do well while the extroverts were left deeply affected from lockdowns.
I'm a bit conflicted with that title. I consider myself a SWE with an emphasis on systems, but more specifically Linux. From what I've seen a lot of the SRE market is (mostly) the same old Ops scene with new badges.
You might just be overthinking it. It means the same as “slow and steady wins the race”.
> It could be bypassed by modifying the file slightly, but the hashing could also get more sophisticated.

Which is the same thing as saying "have a higher false positive rate," and then we have the problem.

This is exacerbated by the same kind of system having the same application for copyright infringement, which means there will be a large community of people dedicated to defeating it. Every time they find another workaround, you have to increase the false positive rate. It only ever goes up.

This is why everyone hates Content ID. The pirates know how to defeat it, meanwhile it regularly flags public domain works and recordings of randomly generated white noise to say nothing of fair use etc.

The solution to revenge porn isn't platforms, it's why isn't the ex getting called "defendant" by a judge for making the recording without permission?
It's probably the right move financially. People love to pay more for less. Prebuilt desktop, server and cloud companies have built businesses around that concept.

The average person is undereducated and easily parted from their money. It's a lot easier to make a bad product that appeals to them and get half the market for free than it is to make a good product and try to appeal to the best.

My RSS feed reader has this built in.
Does that sound like initiatives written by corporate lawyers?
Depends on the monitor, of course. If your terminal has green phosphor, all languages are green.
If it gets bad enough, it will increase the number of consumers who are defaulting on credit cards, mortgages, auto loans, and student loans.
Our app is called Emurse. Our focus is on teaching languages with the most efficient path to fluency. With language study, once you get to an advanced beginner or intermediate level of study there's just not a lot of material out there to help you continue learning journey. We aim to help fix that. A lot of the core functionality is built, but quite a bit of work remains on the content development side.

We're working on a Thai language course right now and hope to be rolling parts of it out in the near future. Other languages are coming later. The link is in my bio, but there's nothing to play around with yet.
I watched a video by HealthyGamerGG where he described employees as all walking around with "score cards" in their head which he illustrated with two rows of tick boxes: a "promotion" score and a "fired" score. It works like those free-sandwich punch cards.

He said work is stressful in part because we have imperfect information which one is ahead or nearing full, and as social animals we are always trying to model what the counterpart of that scorecard looks like in our boss's head without knowing for sure. I think it's particularly insightful HealthyGamerGG doesn't simplify this to a single +/- score, but rather drew two separate rows. I've definitely worked in jobs where I knew I ran a high balance in both categories.
what makes xfs better than ext4 as a general purpose filesystem?
One explanation I've heard for this shortcoming is that psychology is almost fully focused on pathology, i.e. studying disease. So it's rarely going to give a good accounting of what happens in healthy populations.

Difficult to see this changing, as happy, healthy people aren't going to pay for therapy, institutionalization or medication... well, unless you convince them that they're actually unhealthy.
But they have mba'd themselves to death.
AMD spun off their fab business, they didn't MBA themselves to death so I'm not sure why that's the only possible end result you see?
Yes:

1. We have up to 17mm of space for glasses for casual use

2. We're going to be compatible with prescription lens inserts out of the box, e.g. Reloptix.

3. It's possible that we'll include diopter adjustment as well
These tips were centered around simplification, and they are good tips. For documentation and technical writing in particular, I picked up a few mannerisms that I now use every time I write.

The biggest impact has been to have a goal of limiting a paragraph to 2-3 sentences. From this goal my other writing traits came naturally.

When starting a paragraph, start off with a blunt statement that summarizes the paragraph. Following sentences can back up the summary sentence.

Use a short single-sentence paragraph to make an emphatic point.

Do word qualifiers add to your content? Many times not. Humans add qualifiers and adjectives more than what's necessary to understand a concept.

Readers get bored with monotony. If there's a wall of text, that's boring. If there's a wall of images, that's boring too. I try to break up a document into different types of formatting. Lists, headings, quotes, and image/content sections to make things visually appealing.

These are only goals! Sometimes a big honkin' paragraph is just what the doctor ordered.

Fun language or a well-timed joke keeps things interesting. They can give the reader a well-deserved break. Like the big honkin' paragraph usage above.

Lastly, the presentation of the content is important. Medium got their content width, font size, and colors down well. GitHub did a great job, too.

I learned to do this when a publisher took red ink to a tutorial I wrote. They gave me the goal of shortening all paragraphs to 2-3 sentences. It was tough at first but now I'm a fan. It's a fun writing exercise :-)
Adding "Yes!" changes the *average length" of the sentences, which is one of the inputs to the Dale-Chall (un)readability score.
Xpra might be able to do it.
That was me.

In all honesty if you are already using ES and you just want nearest-neighbor search for less than 10M documents, just stay with ES.

Things get less obvious when you grow past 10M documents and still want low latency. Or if you need live index updates without downtime, or if you want to apply metadata filters to nearest-neighbor searches.

If you have 100M documents -- not a difficult threshold if you're an enterprise software company or a popular consumer app -- then ES gets ruled out fairly early in the process. We get a lot of those exasperated teams coming to Pinecone after trying their best with ES/OpenSearch.

The protection of rights as per sexual orientation and the protection of rights as per religious affiliation are siblings in the Civil Rights Act; they're two of the (equal) protected classes.

Any conclusions drawn by the Court in this case will be readily extrapolable to religious affiliation. Web designers don't have to do a "We're gay and we love it" site because it offends their religious beliefs? Then other web designers don't have to do a "This is our Catholic church" site because Catholicism offends their Protestant beliefs.

(IANAL, but this would, perhaps, be a good argument for the defendants to bring).
A filesystem in the kernel isn't userspace.
You can do that with any computer with pikvm and tinypilot
https://tinypilotkvm.com/ https://pikvm.org/
Implicit in Wilcox e-mail is the claim that there is a non-trivial cost of keeping reiserfs even when it is not being updated. Cost of keeping resierfs in the kernel > Cost of removing it. A filesystem is like a plugin for the kernel. In theory, it doesn't care what filesystem you use because it only access it using a common plugin interface. So keeping reiserfs in the kernel should cost 0. In practice, the cost is higher. Young developers often don't understand that. Plugins, extensions, modules, backends, what have you, no matter how great the extension mechanism is, you can't completely eliminate the costs.
Haven’t played this yet, but recently put 120 hours into (and highly recommend) the Demon’s Souls remake, also from Bluepoint.

They are an incredibly talented studio with a long history of best-in-class remakes, recently acquired by Sony - which now has them working on their first original IP.

Digital Foundry has some great interviews with Peter Dalton (technical director) and his team, which are also well worth checking out, as is the Demon’s Souls remake documentary from Noclip.

Seriously. All he had to do was make a SFW version for his resume if he was so keen on showing off the work. Use pictures of smurfs and puppies.

I might unfairly be making assumptions about how technically feasible the change would be. If it would be difficult to do so, I'd be interested to learn how/why, eg was it a system design choice or is it inherent to the tech itself...
Nice! I want may project start cheap, and then scale 'automatically' as demand grows. My nightmare is to have an outage when my project is most popular. How do you deal with this if I deploy with you?

As someone who has a Quest (which I've used fairly regularly) and some tethered headsets (which I haven't because they're a pain to set up)... I get it. Realistically I can't see myself using a tethered headset as a desktop, but I absolutely could see myself using a standalone headset like this.
I know what you mean. Because of it, I've returned to school for a masters. Turns out I knew nothing and it's a good thing I returned to school! For reference, I've been a full stack web developer for 8+ years and I have a bachelors in engineering (not comp-sci).
