Not necessarily a fan of white noise but I’d take white noise over unsubstantiated claims from a Popsci book any day. Those things are chokefull of un reveiwed conjecture that has no place in a book or anywhere else except the authors brain where all they should be is hypotheses.
Sure. Again politics is blurry, messy, blurry. True dichotomy is rare.

But even that example still mixes morals, values, & politics. Joe Biden values legal autonomy & access.

And it is a fundamental campaign issue. He would not win the Dem primary if he was against abortion. You can't un mix the two it's blurred.
They are, and you see them used sometimes (my friend is actually using something like that in her thesis), but for the Grand Theory type stuff it seems like this blog is talking about they aren't as useful. They reduce to the same math as before, and on a fundamental enough level the shortcuts they let you take just aren't useful.
There's a significant difference between shelling children and charging you an extra 15% for your dinner.
You can talk to pretty much any ecommerce site or ppc specialist - open up linkedin and message away. I had clients triple their yearly revenue with well implemented ad campaigns.

Do you really think these things are implemented without any kind of tracking in place? We have people who only run ads with a targeted ROAS of 10x. That's not something you can do or track effectively with a magazine, billboard, or radio ad. There's a reason online search advertising makes Google so much money, because it's damn effective.
Time for the monthly "Ruby / Rails is dead" blog post.

There's been hundreds of these over the past decade, and yet both Ruby and Rails have continued on, where many other technologies have died out.
Glass on back is stupid trend. It's fragile and weighty. I suspect that they can't use metals due to Qi support but don't like plastics. I prefer plastics.
Finding Goroutine Leaks in Tests
This! This is how I made my career, I've worked on non trivial stacks that varied from low level code to opengl, mobile apps, php with vuejs etc. Take the exact stack and make something as simple as a todo app, you'd be surprised how stuff sticks and you can identify similar code after or at least know where and how to start. When you look at it, a todo app would entail connecting to a database for persistence (look at what the company uses or can even be a json file, sqlite etc), you need crud methods and maybe a sprinkle of logic then you need a frontend with some interactivity then depending on your setup you'd need to containerize this. All of this can be done in a weekend and you're ready to tackle the smallest ticket Monday.

The next best thing you can do is make a work log, save every single stackoverflow or documentation link you visited, take notes and document everything you learn, do or want to do. Whenever you do something or are unsure, make notes to ask the senior devs later on. It wouldn't hurt to ask the other junior dev if he wanted to pair on a ticket as well to observe how they work.

The other day I was brought on to a project that uses gRPC, I've only ever briefly looked at protobufs and with one weekend, I learnt how the proto files worked, the tooling around getting setup, made A LOT of silly errors, got stuck, unstuck and stuck again but eventually made the simplest application that stored locations to a sqlite database. The following week I made my first PR to the project because I could identify what was what, the project structure was much different and complex compared to my small app but the concepts and how everything worked made it a lot easier than just diving in headfirst which when in retrospect would have been next to impossible.
Got most of them. I wish it gave me a score at the end, though! The easy ones were where the person was saying something really uncharacteristic, like Biden saying they were going to legalize marijuana on the state level. The neutral ones where the person wasn't saying anything but just moving around making random gestures with really low video quality were the hardest.
I gave you a very precise set of actions that you personally can take, it can also function as a set of broad goals for governments to set tax policies (tax meat). I'm sorry that you don't like them
Until the merely clever discover that among the rich number many who are not anywhere near smart. Then everybody gets cagey and butthurt after the clever get rich. Science plods along, budgets mostly unchanged.
I usually check news on guardian, RT, aljazeera and timesofindia to get better overview of the world. Each of them are biased in some respects and neutral to others. Obviously most of them are heavily biased towards their own country.

However I have never seen as much propaganda, hyper-nationalism and just vague (or outright false) reporting from western media as the current Russia-Ukraine war.

I pretty much agree with everything you're saying here.

The only thing we seem to disagree on is that I believe a successful diet is overwhelmingly due to CICO. Yes, it's not the only aspect of a successful diet, but it is mandatory. I also agree that everyone needs to tailor their diet to their individual psychological needs, but not at the expense of CICO.

> Don't talk down to people when clearly they have had success and have studied the topic.

If we're comparing anecdotes, I always have success losing weight with a mainstream healthy diet (moderate protein, moderate carbs including some sugars, very low fat). I have had success with other diets - including high fat ones, which I don't do anymore because I don't think it's healthy.

In every case I attribute my success to weighing food and tracking calories.
Seems like axe grinding to mention a policy that ended 35 years ago.

You were the one who mentioned “paid better”. Don’t shift the goal posts.
Yes, I recognize that most people want to continue to live their lifestyles. I've come to accept that its very likely the planet is toast.
It's not this simple. Petrodollar is contingent on supplying dinosaur-juice to the world's wealthiest country.

An isolationist America that resorts to price-controls or money-printing in order to keep its oil producers afloat risks run-away inflation. Not only due to the issue of EROEI, but also due to threats to its primacy in the global order.

Of course many of think its unfair that the world pays for the US warmongering and general debauchery, but I imagine there are enough people in the State-dept. and the Fed to understand this even if they pretend this whole thing is a "conspiracy theory" to be punished with blasphemy.

Or even if it's just sitting on the desk/table/counter/etc. and you want to use it without picking it up. I do this at least 10s of times per day, and for that reason will always own a Touch ID enabled iPhone.

Also, it's great they now have "wearing a mask" support, but the "wearing a motorcycle helmet" is still not on the feature radar. Once again, Touch ID is not affected by this.
I agree with your point.

Well, yeah, but how do you move from Docker Desktop kubernetes to something like AKS?

Some time back, one of the things stopping me from migrating off Visual Studio was that I had been relying on the integrated tools to help with deployment of my small system. I came to the sudden realisation that I had no idea exactly what to do to deploy something like a lambda function or a container into ECS, because it was being done for me by the AWS Visual Studio toolkit.

It's kind of dangerous in lots of ways. You have little idea of security contexts, of how the different parts interact, of what you might be accidentally exposing to the general internet. It's like anything that demos well: it hides all the stuff you need to know about at the expense of trying to get you started quickly. Hiding all the dodgy decisions the wizard makers make will get you burned.

In the end, I would have been much better off learning the AWS CLI - I ended up having to do it anyway to utilise a github action to do my deployments.

At the very least, these tools should spit out the commands they are running in some kind of ordered fashion so you can "play along". Long term, the hand-holding is counter productive for most developers.
Instead of "stop", the more realistic approach is tax those things to reflect their damage to the environment and watch consumption patterns change. Unfortunately most governments won't do that either
I'd say that its just a couple of years ahead of the mainstream curve. My thinking is that Apple probably wants to make a very high resolution VR headset (similar or close to Varjo Aero), and it seems that with their new chips, they might be able to pull it off.
> skipping the DOM and system font API loses you copy-paste, translation, and screen readers

Browsers implement their own copy/paste, accessibility, and translation. WebGPU being used for rendering affects none of that.

> subpixel AA and hinting usually get lost, although they're doable

Subpixel AA is a technology of the past and a new forward looking browser should not bother supporting it. Tons of complexity and compromises for small gains on bad screens only.

> it just looks weird when your app uses a different font renderer from everyone else, or even from other text in the same window

This can probably be minimized with some effort. To the extent that it can't be identical, web content is so obviously not native already that I think it doesn't matter.
A brilliant comment indeed.
In the Canadian warehouse I worked in you had guys red faced bitching about Trudeau at least once a week.

This was also during the trade war, so these same guys were shit talking Trump and calling him a fucking retard too.

Osmos.io is built on Rust so that’s LLVM. No commercial vendor involved.

There is Mold (https://github.com/rui314/mold) as an alternative but it doesn’t support MacOS yet and that’s a blocker for our team.
IME, expandable storage in Macs was mainly used as a run-around around the Apple Tax on their storage options - buy the base model and upgrade the storage yourself for 1/3rd the price.

I always thought it was a fair trade-off. Pro users who care more about stability/support can pay the Apple Tax, and enthusiasts on a budget can DIY it and get a better machine for less. It feels like greed to cut off that path.

It was also way more important in the day of spinning disks - so many machines from that era got a new lease on life by having the HDD replaced with an SSD. Imagine if HDDs had somehow been soldered in...
This article is from 2020. My shares of USO are up over $1000 now. I plan to hold them for less than 1 week though to minimize exposure to management fees and contango. I’m not sure what is a better investment for this right now.
No, having a user serviceable battery is not a good reason to assume that a user will replace it. Because 90%+ will not, and did not in the days when it was industry standard.

Crashing the phone instead of throttling is a bad design choice no matter the serviceability of the battery. I had (and professionally supported) devices in the 00s that did this, and they were not good. People didn’t happily replace their battery and move on with their day, like you might imagine. They made support calls because their phone was constantly crashing and they had no idea why. But they made those calls on their office phone because their cell phone crashed when they tried to call me!
If you're very clever (unlike me) and you break into a modern running system, you'll find that there are a lot of protections to stop you just inserting your own code and running it.

Smart people will look at the current executable code in the system, and work out how to manipulate the existing executable code to build the attacker's programs (return oriented programming); the identified chunks are called gadgets.
> if you control for males under 40, especially Moderna

Fascinating! Thanks. (to be pedantic, my emphasis on the word "was", meant to convey that my opinion was changing)

I was gonna ask "do you have a source on that?" but was able to find this in JAMA w/o much effort: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2788346
which states in no uncertain terms that "The rates of myocarditis cases were... in adolescent males aged 16 to 17 years .. 105.9 per million doses of the BNT162b2 vaccine", sure enough, 1 in ~10k.

I think it's also important to note, just for larger context -- not attacking or negating anything you've said -- that that cohort (16-17yo males) is the most extreme, it's down to 1 in ~20k once you include up to age 24. Across the whole population it becomes closer to 1 in 200k.

The target arch doesn’t matter for the change-build-test loop d vs do. All that matters is how fast can you compile your code to test it.

If the final x86 production build takes longer it doesn’t matter - that happens on the cloud anyway.

Edit: Rust builds are very parallel until linking. No different than any other LLVM build.
If you asked chemists questions as "fundamental" as the ones posed to quantum physicists, they'd be exactly as lost because they'd be exactly the same questions. Shockingly, when you have a level of abstraction beneath you you get to have pure empirics, trusting that the foundations add up to get the right answer. If every field of knowledge that relies on empirical evidence rather than a grand unifying theory was stamp collecting, QM would be one of very few that wasn't.

Apple doesn't ship stuff just because it's available; there has to be some appreciable value.

It's a tradeoff between agonizing over the bickering of my kids or agonizing over the music they play which stops the bickering. Google Home makes the latter choice simpler than handing them my phone. I'm aware I'm fully responsible for my own choices and I can still feel regret for where I'm at given those choices.
You'd be interested in Progress and Poverty, a seminal work by late 19th century economist Henry George that tackles these issues of monopoly (of land, ideas, network effects) and their economic consequences.

edit to add because a link to a book is not a discussion:

> Owners deserve some piece of the pie for stewarding the land well, and innovators deserve some piece of the pie for playing a difficult role in the march of technology.

Landowners "deserve" all the value that comes out of their "stewardship" (i.e. improvements, developments, labor), and none of the value that is inherent to the land or location (i.e. the value of being located in a city center, or the value of natural resources). In practical terms, this would mean a just policy is one that levies zero taxation on anything the owner does on the land, and levies a full tax on the value of natural resources and locational advantage inherent to a plot (calculable as the market clearing rental value of the land minus any developments).

The same holds for having ideas first. Inventions are insightful combinations of natural facts, but they are closer to discovery than true creation (we don't create the laws of physics that underlie every patentable mechanism). To lay exclusive claim to a discovery and wield it as a tool to fight competitors is anti-progress. All inventors have the claim to the fruits of their labor, but not at the exclusion of any other independent human to have and utilize ideas of their own.

The silent videos are a pointless test because it could easily be poor quality video, and what does fake mean if it’s a video of the politician speaking behind the podium?

The videos with spoken words were very easy to spot, and the ones that dealt with substantive content you could tell by the intonations.
If there aren't many people who are interested in voting for either candidate, the easiest way to win is not to convince the other side, but to push people who weren't interested in voting, to vote. This is usually done through outrage tactics. As we see both republican and democrat go down in popularity overall, we can see that these tactics are being used more and more.

I tried using Twitter but it's kinda disorienting... Reddit is easier to follow. And doesn't have character limit so you can actually respond properly than just saying one liners. If talk is just a screaming match I'd rather just play apex legends, much more enjoyable... Also if there are 5673 people with same low effort flawed logic then kind of pointless to reply to one person.. it's better to do public announcement. Make a YouTube video, write a blog post, or maybe even rant on Reddit ...
Ask HN: What to do when you keep failing upwards?
I am an average engineer. I am not extremely bright nor I am technically gifted. I am just your bang average IT person, but For the last two-three years, I seem to have been failing upwards in my career without any reason.

I know my basic way around servers. I can write simple python scripts. I can google my way around the problems but that is the end of my wits. The only redeeming quality that I have is that I get well along with everyone. I am seeing my peers writing amazing scripts and doing exceptional jobs but for some reason, I am the one who is getting promoted and getting raises instead of them. Everywhere around me I see people vastly more competent in what they do. And I'm pretty sure to them it's obvious I'm just copying what they do but worse.

Now I have started getting calls from Fortune 100 companies for management positions and I am not sure I would ever survive there. I don't know what to do here.

Has any of you ever experienced this?
Not sure how broadly you're willing to draw the borders around "non-local" but I'd argue most quantum physicists take Bell's inequality to suggest that hidden variable theories are impossible because something non-local isn't happening.
What are your alternatives to Metal and ARM on iOS?
I think this is an american problem (due to the repair contracts of the ice cream machines?).

Mycroft got a recent update (maybe 3 months ago) and seems to work much better than before. I've got a Google AIY Voice Kit v1 running on a Pi 3 B+ and it works quite well to about 6ft away.

Just that with the same hot caches, the average change-build-test loop that developers do 100+ times a day is just faster on the M1 Max.
While Linux is 'UNIX-like' rather than an actual certified UNIX, any of the UNIX reference books will be close enough for most purposes.

A big part of Linux is that a particular distro will come packaged with lots and lots of apps, apart from the underlying operating system.

Another main difference between Windows and Linux, is that Linux distros have package managers for 'downloading' apps built-in, so you never need (or extremely rarely) to go wandering around the Web looking for software to download. You merely open up the package manager, search for what you want, click to select the package, then click to install. And that's that. Whenever there's an upgrade, your new package will be automatically upgraded too.

> Most people?

Absolutely not. Take a look at your CPU usage right now. Pretty much all background tasks can be done on a core or two. I only have 8 cores, and the only time they're all facing high load is when I'm compiling code. Basically the M1 ultra is only useful for professional graphics/video editors, and developers compiling large codebases or training ml models.
That makes sense but I see a lot of places where they estimate power consumption in W or mWs. How do they do it? Is there may be a window of estimation possible in a constrained environment? No network or file I/O I guess is all the restrictions we can put on a process without compromising functionality.

Alternatively how do I measure power consumption of a random process? Assuming I only want to get a number and nothing else.
The Afghanistan withdrawal was what is known as a "foreshadowing." Zelensky should do his best not to rely on anything the United States does or promises. The time things could have ended well was over about a week ago. The only question now is how hard we hit rock bottom.
