I think Aegis and SM are some of the biggest success stories out of the defense sector over the last few decades. Not only is it mature and effective but its also scalable and from what I understand they managed to port the codebase to modern x86 servers and make the libraries more modular as well.
News to me as someone who used them to do things as a kid (music sequencing, sound design, software experiments, vector/bitmap art).

Modern machines are incredible and do so much more but these were useful in their time.
Yeah, the ones around here have wait lists, and they're not impressed by daddy and mommy Mr. and Mrs. VP and MD, paying list tuition price. There are a dozen more where they came from. If they think a kid might make a few other families think twice about enrolling next year, and some reasonable attempt to make things work out falls through, that kid's gone. Maybe not immediately (though, sometimes), but they won't be back next Fall.
Some people can think in numbers in a way that does not require visual representation or any kind of representation, and as such, it is also possible for such a person to express the pure idea in different ways, including numbers as shapes as the author is doing.

'Cause I am very curious how the author experiences imaginary and complex numbers ... or even negative integers, irrationals, and transcendental numbers.
Really? I had a mac plus. Loaded Think C on it. Worked fine.
Or... Management could choose not run their software development organisation with the kind of micromanagement strategy that requires everything to be allocated in units of one day or less. It's another red flag that has become disturbingly common in the industry and suggests managers more interested in "visibility" and "metrics" than actually doing a good job, sustainably, by trusting their technical people to do theirs.

The thing with real stores is that all the assholes are from this group. The ones that are having a bad day may react badly to something, but do not go out of their way to create problems.

What means that real stores have many fewer problem customers. But they can't count on them changing either.
Multiplying infinity by negative number (including negative infinity) gives -Infinity, no?
We used to have such a concept in my school system, it was called "tracking." Sadly, they did away with it midway through my sentence. We had AP / IB track courses, but also so many students that we had a second, more mature level in terms of both behavior and intellectual pursuit (at least for AP, I only took one IB course).

This track was cancelled (10+ years ago) in the modern progressive fashion, being derided as some blend of discrimination. The end-result was students who were into school being put into the same pot of students in the rest of the courses (non-AP, AP - your choice). Unfortunately for the tracked students, we were hit with a one-two punch of the end of tracking and the administration's pursuit of glory and State recognition. Our guidance counselors aggressively recommended or, in some cases, forcibly placed students in AP courses for which they had neither the interest nor the proclivity.

Personally, I was forced into a high-tier Spanish course my third (and final) year of high-school, despite having no aptitude and lower-end grades (80-85%) for the language despite three years of study. Resulted in my skipping all courses and writing my "Kiss My Ass" in another foreign language I pursued during my free time. I rode into the sunset with a grade of 30% or so, a job waiting for me in the city as an apprentice software engineer and a full-ride to university.

Frankly, schools in the US just don't seem to exist to put out good, well educated thinkers but like many government institutions (and I say this as a former government worker) - to continue their own existence, find glory for those at the top, and if good things happen for the citizens this is a nice side-effect and typically at the expense of the soldiers in the trench rather than good, altruistic stewardship.
Sure, but they why kWh/h instead of kW? If you're inclined to measure the quantity of gas in terms of its energy, why not measure its flow in terms of power? (of course kWh/h _is_ power, but why denote it so strangely?)
I don't have a visual representation for numbers, but numbers with a 9 at then end like say 29 in my mind is always transformed in to 30-1 , so instinctively (nobody teaches me this) computations like 29 + 15 = (30 -1) + 15 = 30 +15 -1 =45-1. This makes it more easy for multiplications 2915= 3015 - 15 . I could apply this for numbers ending with 7 or 8 but it does not fill natural for me as 9.

I agree with your concerns but we already do this somewhat informally with public education in much of the country with college prep, advanced, honors, and AP courses.

I'm just advocating we act with more purpose and honest intention about what we're already doing.

One practical thing you can do is to buy a significant quantity of iodine. If there's a nuclear exchange and fallout one of the big killers will be radioactive iodine that lodges in your thyroid and then kills it. Having a lot of potassium iodide so you can absolutely saturate your thyroid and at least stave off that disaster is fairly easy and fairly cheap.

If you live through the first second then you want to have the ability very soon. If you then live through the first month it'll help you make it through the next few years. https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/radiation/emergencies/ki.htm
I am glad I was neither flamed nor downvoted to oblivion. Had I wrote this some days ago I certainly would have been. (Not aimed at you specifically).

I feel many people think this happening is Hitler invading Checkoslovakia were he should have been stopped with the benefit of hindsight. There is no reason to believe history has to be repeating it self. A fair warning, yes. A profetia, no.

I don't know what we should do, but take it chill and cold is one of those things.
I would suggest reading The E-myth Revisited. I could relate to it when I was in your position. And as NikolaNovak suggested, you're the technical type that wants to build technical things (as was I).

Honestly, building a business sucks and you really need that drive to see it through. In the face of stupidly large paychecks tech companies are paying at the moment, it almost doesn't make sense. Perhaps working for a few years, building a nest egg and then taking some time off to work on projects you like would be the better approach.

Whilst everyone "has the drive it takes" because no one wants to admit they're insufficient, do you have the drive to do things you never wanted to do? Things that you might not even relate to success.

My first business venture failed because I was insufficient at marketing, juggling and playing to my audience. I also built the technology before I built the business.
Can't agree. Unless parents make a specific effort to get them out with other similar aged group of kids (maybe other home schoolers) then the kid is going to most likely have stunted social and emotional intelligence even if their academic intelligence is off the chart. Even as a kid who spent most breaks reading something several grade levels higher than my current one, I still liked to wander off and hang with the other kids in public school. I still enjoyed comic books, flag football at recess, and cartoons.
> I'm pretty sure that some anticheat software detects and discriminates against being run in a VM

I've always thought that the ability for a program to detect that it's in a VM is a failure of the hypervisor.

My main goal was really to just avoid having to reboot my system and switch to Windows any time I wanted to play a game that only worked in Windows.
> One counterexample doesn't make an argument "weak", if there are thousands of cases to the contrary.

Are there "thousands of cases to the contrary", though? About what percentage of FOSS developers do you suppose even try making payment a prerequisite for a ready-to-run official binary? Or for that matter, about what percentage even attempts to monetize at all?

That's what makes the argument weak: it reeks strongly of "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas".

You'd think. But there are a lot of people talking about "doing more" to help Ukraine.

The idea of a no-fly zone is being bandied about. They wave away the nuclear concern while advocating shooting down Russian planes (killing the pilots) and destroying anti-aircraft weapons (killing the soldiers operating them) in Ukraine and just over the border in Belarus and Russia. People are asking if we should "do nothing" while a 40-mile column of troops and equipment is heading for Kyiv.

And by "people" I don't mean randos on Twitter or even media personalities. I mean sitting US Senators[1] and former NATO commanders[2].

Historically, kids played with other kids and families didn't generally live far from others. On farms, families are larger so it's a moot point.

Infrequent contact with other kids can open the door to social anxiety and awkwardness as they grow. Not to mention, it's cruel. Kids are social beings too and they don't get their rocks off listening to adults talk down to them.

Also Doom had monstet infighting, that seems to exist mostly in other ID games and engines based on their games (half life has this great AI).
I reached the same conclusion but was actually happy about it. When I just started working on neural networks I had almost no competition. Then starting from ~2015 suddenly everybody did neural networks, but all backprop. Right now almost nobody can work on backprop anymore because to improve the status quo you need massive budgets. So I can finally work in peace again on other more obscure neural networks that are way more fun in my opinion. The work is more creative than just tweaking backprop a bit more.
The things you describe aren't areas where a traditional "market" can make much of a difference.

COVID mitigation is the closest, and...we've seen lots of innovation there, frankly. The damn disease has only existed for just over two years, and we've seen a variety of vaccines and at least a few different effective treatments appear.

Basically every other innovation you name is all about challenging powerful incumbents to improve things for ordinary people and/or the planet...and no, there's no "market" for that. Markets are terrible for that. The powerful incumbents are great at bending markets to protect the status quo, and ordinary people and the planet don't have much sway over them.

That's why we have things like regulation, antitrust laws, and government-funded science. What we need is to give them better teeth.
I was a manager at one point, and the combination of #3 and #4 basically killed my interest in management.

As an IC, your manager can tell you to do something that makes no sense. They can either agree with you or disagree about how stupid it is, but if it comes from above it has to be done. As an IC, you just do it and try your best to disconnect emotionally and get it over with.

As a manager, you first listen to your manager tell you to do something that makes no sense. You push back, but they say your team has to do it. You take it to your direct report and they push back, and now you are forcing somebody to work on something they rightfully don't agree it. Unless you are an a$$shole, it's hard to disconnect emotionally when you are forcing somebody to do something you don't agree with. Do that over and over...it really takes a toll.

I usually try to avoid this by adding a question mark as early as possible to the conversation. It happens way too often that people are trying to answer a question without even knowing what the question is or solving a problem without knowing what the problem is. That leads to confusing conversations.

Regarding the example:

> There are no docs for <X>

Respond by: "What do you want to achieve?" or "How can I help?", and don't assume that you know what the other person wants to know.
- Linode Shared CPU 4 GB RAM, 2 CPU Cores, 80GB SSD ($20 / month)
- Cloudflare Workers ($5 / month)

I downloaded a tileset file (.mbtiles extension) for the whole planet (latest I can find for free is here [1]). Tileset file is just a SQLite database with a table where each row contains the x/y/z coordinates of a tile and a binary blob containing the corresponding GeoJSON of features as a protobuf (commonly referred to as a vector tile).

You can start tileserver-gl-light[2] (light only serves vector tiles) pointing to the .mbtiles file (Ideally I think you slice the .mbtiles file into individual tiles and put them in something like S3 but it will cost $$$ and time) and it performs remarkably well given that it's serving an 60GB+ .mbtiles file from SSD, not RAM. I have an nginx proxy in front of tileserver-gl-light as I use the Linode for other projects.

I added a rule in Cloudflare to cache any tile request url for 8 days to reduce the load on the origin server. On average about 30-50% of tile requests come from Cloudflare's cache.

On the front end I switched from Mapbox GL JS to Maplibre JS [4]. I switched the Mapbox DEM data for Open Data on AWS [5].

The post upthread asserted COVID and Ukraine were examples of "fear porn". You chimed in with "crying wolf" about emergencies. It's hardly whataboutism to point out that these are actual emergencies, and that media coverage of them should be expected.
The “numbers” (rationals, mainly) definitely have a “shape” in my mind, at least up to 800 or so. When I do simple arithmetic I feel like I simply glance over to the right place and “see” the answer.

I remember as a child trying to draw the shape of the number “line” (it curls and twists) and being surprised that I was unable to do so.

This has never seemed to have given me any advantage or disadvantage in learning more complex maths than one gets in primary school. But since so much arithmetic is done in numbers less than 100 (or scaled down to that range) it does make a lot of things easier.
You definitely should, maybe try to find a job which is chill enough so you can still build your side project when you want.

Once you have some time for side hustles, you should iterate on your methodology to run side businesses and maybe have the long term goal of depending less and less on your daily job and more on your side projects.

If you want to start a business focus on a problem people are happy to pay for - and then build the technical part. In order to do that, you need to talk to people early and try to convert them into paying customers, even if you don't have a product.
Sometimes this means cultivating an audience and launching a tweet (or an email) to your audience, sometimes this means cold mailing people, sometimes this means going somewhere and talking to people.

You should also limit the work you're doing until you validated the idea. You have no idea how many business I started which turned out to be unsellable. If I had to build a full fledged technical solution for each of them, I would have wasted so much time.

Even when you do your homework, there will still be a lot of attempts where it seems like everything should work out and you should get customers - but you just don't for whatever reason.
Some incredibly lucky times you build the product and people come. I noticed this is true especially if you can leverage some huge marketing channel (like a marketplace opening up: iOS apps when the first iPhone came out, the shopify marketplace) which allow any software (no matter whether it's good or not) to become popular and make money.

> Who cares if innovation happens in ink pens if no good novels are written?

The people who got ink on their fingers writing bad novels with the old pens. Not every innovation needs to directly impact everybody - and maybe some of those bad novel authors decided to become novel authors because the pens got easier to use and maybe they could have written a good novel.

That new thing feeling is pretty darn subjective - smart phones never felt new to me. I used a flip phone and a tablet for a long time, the tablet was basically a more portable laptop - and when I actually got a smart phone it was just a slightly smaller tablet.
I love the compatibility between C and Python.

Maybe off-topic, but in which language of theese two do you find a joy to program in?

As for me, Python's features are godsend. Only, sometimes I want that procedural simplicity of C.

I feel dirty trying to emulate C coding style in Python, even when it makes sense.
> There's nothing improper about having a separate operator for concatenation.

Only to monopolize that operator to then have to use "->" for method call. C/C++ do that because of dereferencing. There is no need for that in PHP OO, all objects are passed by pointer to functions or methods.

Surprised but not surprised to see people using the standard free speech/censorship arguments in this thread. Surely people can differentiate between standard speech and state sponsored propaganda??? More speech is often the solution to “bad” speech - but I think it would be quite obvious this doesn’t apply to propaganda.

I think that's absolutely true when it comes to the media's treatment of past outbreaks, but that doesn't apply to the situation in Ukraine, it's the opposite. The mainstream did not take the threat of Russian aggression very seriously, even in Ukraine. Also the people pointing to the nuclear threat are urging calm, the opposite of your typical "boy who cried wolf" scenario.
> How is a neutral democratic Ukraine a security threat to Russia? Not Putin. Russia

Their analysis does not have to be correct for them acting on it. Was Iraq a significant security threat to the US? Or, did the war decrease it?
