TV talk shows basically had the same formula as Twitter. You don't invite the common, adjusted and perhaps boring personalities, you invite the most polarizing and special personalities you can find. Now they can share their craziness on Twitter together. The press is hostage in an attention economy and must further showcase people like that for financial stability.

Anonymity means more honesty, which is far more interesting than an adjusted and boring corporate world full of advertiser messages and the latter is all you would ever get. That said, the loudest voices on Twitter or Facebook are mostly not anonymous, anonymous boards are mostly far better places to discuss anything. Some abuse it, but without it we would see a much worse net.
I'm kinda hoping that the global reaction to Russia's fuckeroo in Ukraine is forcing China to rethink annexing Taiwan. Or at the very least they're doing some serious re-planning to withstand the Weapon of Mass Economic Destruction we levelled on Russia.

I’m in a similar position and have a more connected approach. I always have an idea of what my direct reports are up to, and a high level understanding of what their reports are up to. I always have 3-4 discussion items ready, these are usually about whatever is important for the business at the time that intersect with their line of work.

I start with their agenda. They would’ve seen me how I prepare mine before, so usually they would have a similar agenda. I listen to them, discuss, and create action items together. Then we talk through my agenda, and we end with their thoughts as well since they might have just remembered something or it might have come up during my items.

I also make sure the items contain their development and also try to understand if their reports are developing in the direction they want and how I can help.

For myself, I do not find it useful to offload the responsibility of a productive 1-1 to my reports. It is both of ours, and since I have more experience in this, I behave as such and they are usually encouraged by it and start doing the same.

the purpose of well-thought tariffs is tho incentivize local markets and production, that is how South Korean and Japanese car companies were able to exists.

The two cases where it is almost unconditionally stupid is if there is no chance to develop or grow a local market or if you are reliant on those same countries for your own export (they are most likely going to tariff your products back)

I suppose the link missing from the article is von Neumann: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann_architecture

That von Neumann may have been heavily influenced by Turing's paper, so that we could say Turing's idea helped.
Interestingly enough, a significant part of the limitations come from game publishers, not nvidia.

Not being allowed to play a game you legally bought on geforcenow is something I really don't understand.

It's not a waste of money when you bring expensive equipment to tens of thousands of people to use.

A single $4k computer for a 1000+ student school should be an afterthought, spread that cost over 5 years and the cost per student is minuscule. This is not a Chromebook you get for every student, you'll need one or two max - unless the school specifically focuses on A/V production.
I also do this. I have a 1:1 document for each of my reports and also each ongoing meeting that I run. The top title is always “Next meeting”. I note down discussion items there and during the meeting the title is converted to a date and under each item, I summarise decisions, reasons, actions and owners.

Everything from 1997-2000 was really just magical, for lack of a better adjective.

In just a few years we saw the Intel Pentium II and Celeron (insane overclock), the AMD K6/K6-2, along with discrete 2D/3D GPUs like 3dfx Voodoo3 and Nvidia GeForce.

Thanks to low-ping affiliation, I stumbled into an early Counter-Strike clan known as "The Space Offensive" (TSO) in the Seattle area that went on to be an early participant in the competitive gaming scene as "The Speakeasy Offensive" (after corporate sponsorship). I've been hooked on the cycle of gaming/hardware loop ever since.
pushing all this to "un-optimization tax" is an easy pass on apple.
- nvidia really is a software company, it's the running joke in the industry. when you buy a nvidia gpu, you pay for the drivers & the frameworks (cuda, dlss, optix, ..). Apple does close to nothing there, they support Metal and CoreML and call it a day, you can decently lay some of the blame at their feet

- the workloads in games can vary a lot, vertex/fragment shaders imbalance, parallel compute pipelines, mixed precision (which the M1 gpu does not do), .. So another explanation is that you can get some 3070 parity on a cherry picked game, like a broken clock is right twice a day, but that does not make it generally true. Objective benchmarks have put the M1 gpus way slower than 3070 on average, and software support seems like an easy but false distraction given the Proton tax on Linux (which is not 30/50%)

- the M1 gpus are lacking a ton of hardware, matrix mul, fp16 again, ray tracing, VRR probably (not sure about this last one). These are used by modern games or applications, you may find a benchmark which skip them, but in the grand scheme of things it's something that the M1 gpu will have to emulate more often than not, and this has a cost

Waving all that as "the GPU is about the same speed" is technically wrong, or not really backed by facts at the very least
I bought samsung earbuds. They worked flawlessly.

From time to time, a software update comes. Every single time I look into change log only to read "Improved stability and security".

Few updates ago, when I took out my buds, only one was playing. Till today I need to disconnect and connect my buds to make them both work.

If only they would just leave the things as they were, or gave me option to rollback..
So much for "Improved stability and security" I guess. I'll never buy a Samsung headphones again.
It depends on whether you want your Hello World programs to reflect an actual program or just be an approximation.

I’d argue there is little benefit in the latter. Particularly these days where the Hello World of most imperative languages look vaguely similar. Maybe back when LISP, FORTRAN and ALGOL were common it was more useful showing a representation of the kind of syntax one should expect. But that isn’t the case any more.

Plus given the risk of bugs becoming production issues or, worse, security vulnerabilities and the ease and prevalence of which developers now copy and paste code, I think there is now a greater responsibility for examples to make fewer assumptions. Even if that example is just Hello World.
Why are you people so obsessed with regime change?

Russia has to be severely penalized so that they or others don’t repeat the same actions in the future.

>What’s more ridiculous is that the prices don’t go down much even when Apple is assembling products locally

You still have to pay import tax on components made outside of India. The assembly line only get Apple some tax incentives.

Yes men and fearful underlings lied about the real state of affairs regarding preparedness, quality of equipment, training, enthusiasm, expenditures, etc.

Not to defend the constant ratings, but imagine managers are not in fact all stupid for a second, and that they realize the power dynamic is there. You still need to do the same job and fulfill the expectations of your own manager, as a manager. It's easy to assume stupidity, and I'm sure there's plenty dumb moves made, but what you find cringy another report finds cool and easy. I bet there are people who would love a no fluff rating and be done vs a bullshit 10 mins of talk where in the end the manager still makes a mental note of your face next to a 7/10. Anyone who manages people sees completely different reactions from different people to exactly the same thing, so that isn't surprising. But sometimes engineers adopt a cynical view of it all where because you don't like something it must mean nobody does.
Been using it for sometime, looks really good.
My phone is on a stand on my table, when I get a notification it displays "<app name>" and the icon. When I look at it, FaceID detects it and shows the full notification text, which may contain personal information.

If it unlocked fully, I'd just see a bunch of icons, not the notification and I'd need to swipe to see them.
Exactly this. As an employee, in this situation, you are always one step away from saying something to the person who can make your life miserable if they take offence. At no point am I ever open in these things, always guarded and watchful of what I'm saying because of who I'm saying it to. It's a corporate pipe dream to think otherwise.

This is why I cannot take MAUI's decision to use Catalyist on the Mac as anything other than taking shortcuts to port Xamarin.iOS to the Mac, not even VS for Mac rewrite is using it.

What would be the expected reaction if either puts or fflush returns an error code? You might think, write a message on stderr (which may be different from stdout), but what if stderr is also redirected to a full device? How would you react to the error code returned from that?

To me this is an indication that you need to know the context in which the program gets run, and its purpose in that context. Or you'd have to specify every edge case, but I've never seen that really work in practice.
I am not really sure what is best and I am mostly interested in PRNGs for gaming anyways (which might optimise for performance over randomness, perhaps?), but with that said ...

I recently came across this discussion on RNG algorithms in JavaScript. Perhaps this short article has some good suggestions on algorithms that improve over Mersenne Twister: https://github.com/nquinlan/better-random-numbers-for-javasc...

They could change over in a matter of days, but choose not to because processing heavy sour oil is more profitable - since it can be purchased cheaper.

If heavy sour were suddenly unavailable, they'd use light sweet in a heartbeat.
This is point on.

My wife is quite active on social while I'm not part of any social media (HN doesn't count, right?). We both have quite a different options about some political issues than our friends. It's been strange observing how her views about our friends are more negative and polarised than mine. Like, I don't really know or care what they think about politics, or what they think about my views. They are my friends and it's okay we disagree on stuff. When I meet them we seldom discuss about the dividing things, but when we do, we do so in respectful manner.

I think when meeting in person we tend to find similarities with each other. In social media it's the opposite.
While all the money is coming from the customers this changes which customers pay and more and which pay less. The guy buying a whole month of grocery will pay less with (fair) explicit fees, the guy buying a single redbull would pay more.

Personally my problem with credit card fees is that they are generally not advertised and the costumer should easily be able to know how much they are going to get charged even before the checkout or ordering (this obviously applies to non VAT-included prices).

Merchants on the other hand should reject non-profitable payment options (in my country it is quite rude to try to pay a coffe with a visa/mastercard)

I don’t see where anyone has talked down to you in this discussion. Could you elaborate?
You know, telling people they're acting morally superior when they're confronting the fact that people are calling aspects of their identity controversial and acting like said parts of their identity simply shouldn't be discussed in public is not a good look.
> it is not “reality” that we truly understand (we can’t)

Yes, we can only describe with models what can be observed. But it is a bad excuse for ignoring contradictions in (or between) models.
I don't think better warranties explain it. In Europe where 2 year warranties are mandated UK prices for a MacBook Pro 14 base model (after excluding 20% VAT) are only 3.6% higher than the US price while German prices (after excluding 19% VAT) are 14% lower at current exchange rates. The Brazilian cash price (10% less than the headline price which includes financing on the Apple store) seems to be 25% higher than the US price after accounting for 17% sales tax and 60% import duty.
I think this number is across all of Russia, and also the police apparently arrest people as they arrive, and have an overwhelmingly larger force.

People who protest in Russia are incredibly brave: their prisons are freezing, barely heated, and torture (including sexual torture) is widely reported.
To quote Gen Z: M1 memory hits different. For many workloads on the M1, you really can get by with less RAM.

Depending on the product and the competition on the market of that product, the merchant might also take the extra fees from their margins rather than raise prices.

In this case, I don't see how they help.

A modern language could automatically throw an exception if the string cannot be completely written to standard output.

But that has not necessarily helped. The program now has a surprising hidden behavior; it has a way of terminating with a failed status that is not immediately obvious.

If it is used in a script, that could bite someone.

In Unix, there is such an exception mechanism for disconnected pipes: the SIGPIPE error. That can be a nuisance and gets disabled in some programs.
Ohh. If this is true, I won't just apologize, I'll send you flowers.

> Any sanctions left would be oil which the economy of most western countries likely cant stomach.

Oh yes we would be able to stomach that. Better we start right now. Rig up production of solar/wind/thermal energy at a war-scale level, deploy faster than anything else. Heck if not when, this is the time to become independent from oil producing dictatorships.
I hate this because it's completely transparent. Anyone with an ounce of intelligence bucks this.

Sounds like such rough corner cases will be a thing of the past soon. Congrats to the dev team!
It's the same when you try to buy a house in the US and you have to pay a realtor to represent you, who takes 3% of sell price as commission. You'd then bargain "I already found the house myself, I just need you to draft the offer, can you do it for less", and they'll reply "no, but don't worry, you only pay for the house, and our commission is paid by the seller".

Sure, thanks for asking!

1. Pages are stored in a database and currently only the user who created them can access them. If you are asking about encryption, there currently isn't any, but I would like to add it in the future.
2. Thanks. I think this is a very powerful concept which enables many powerful features that most writing apps don't offer. The challenge is making it easy enough to use for everyone. (My first implementations (private) were much more similar to git in terms of the commit flow. Now, I am taking small, constant steps to simplify the process.)
3. Thanks for reporting!
4. Currently, there are no limitations. All the versions are saved and they are saved 2 seconds after you stop writing, everytime. This will probably get out of hand quickly, but I am looking forward to the challange of improving it—for now I just want to provide the best and most powerful features.

And Difree looks great, are you planning on also releasing it as a web app? Good luck to you too!
The transition point in the USA is probably lower because we drive more miles and have an existing fleet of less efficient, older, larger cars.
With Stack Overflow I use the same approach. Unfortunately, DDG shows only one SO result while Google shows multiple. Then I wonder why I don't search directly on the SO site.
"Optery only works for U.S. residents at this time". It would be good to have this clearly stated before the user starts the sign-up process. It's a dark pattern to permit account creation if you can't actually provide a service to some of those signing up.
This is (IMHO) the difference between unit testing and other testing.

Unit testing verifies it does what it is supposed to do ideally, and all other tests verify it can do it in non-ideal environments.

This language seems unnecessary, given the rest of your comment is very unclear and unexplained.
Make sure you're trying to get into the game mode you downloaded when prompted with "Select game data source" - if it was HLDM, only multiplayer is going to work.
That wandering maze of errands is only if you're applying to FAANGs and top companies paying top of the market compensation, which the author is.

If you apply at average European companies for example, paying average EU wages, you don't get any of that, but you'll have to be OK with earning very avenge wages in line or sometimes below most other skilled white collar professions (in Western EU at least, in the East devs still earn higher then everyone else).

It's kind of like dating, the less attractive a company is to potential candidates, the easier it is to get in, the more attractive it is, the harder it is. Supply and demand.
