A large portion of their plants is offline at any time. For various reasons, some regular maintenance, some not so regular, some safety related. For me the big takeaway is that the reliability and safety on paper is never the complete picture, even before unforeseen accidents or malice eventually do happen.

What's why?
There is one other important factor that is seldom discussed: inequality. Even being so expensive, they still sell enough to make good profits, because there is enough rich people in Brazil to buy them once a year. Brazil has one of the higher inequalities in the world and while it’s common to say Brazil is poor, the truth is that there is a shitload of very rich people too (it’s more than 200M people after all). I’m sure things would change if people simply stopped buying them (or couldn’t afford).
I certainly as the reasoning but still this is fundamentally a problem that should not exist.

> Mobile games have been bigger than PC or console for awhile

Of course mobile games are "bigger" than PC games. It's because today 18yos use mobile phones to "type" their homework. It's because they have never actually used or owned a computer/mac keyboard. It's because +80% of visitors of all web pages come from mobile.

It's because everyone has a mobile phone, and relatively fewer people use or own a classic computer. It says nothing about the scale of mobile gaming. It says everything about the scale of mobile.
The way the escalation might go on, it probably won't matter how long it would last.
> parents might be more likely to give their kids fruit juice to placate them, or because they mistakenly think "fruit = healthy".

I wouldn't be surprised if people who have difficultly affording/accessing fruit would think juice was "at least some form of fruit". The packaging often seems to be designed explicitly to mislead us into thinking that way.

The shelf life of juice is easily in its favor too. Normally, I have easy access to fresh produce and in our house it's about even odds that fruit will go bad before it's eaten and I don't have the stresses and struggles of a low income household with children that could make that even worse. If I were on a very tight budget it might be hard to justify the expense on something you're likely to throw away.
Agent Interview: Matt Jones on Elixir and how to help support open source
A significant fraction of engineers, often the ones who are most deep into their work, have a tendency to just do a brain dump of what they're working on, just because that's what they've currently assembled in their heads. It isn't necessarily useful in a 1:1 but it seems almost involuntary, so I'm not sure it's good to stop them before they've gone through it. May just have to allocate more time to allow them to get through it to any other issues they might have.
I think you are forgetting the context of my replies. I'm not saying it's unreasonable to have to upgrade discontinued hardware, even if you have to do it all at once. My take is that it's not too different from having to replace a Mac when the new generation comes in (which is usually every ~5 years for Apple, not too far from my own system's lifetime). Being able to upgrade individual parts through generations is a pipe dream.

Also, we must have a different interpretation of "discontinued", because DDR3 and LGA1150 were still produced, sold, and dominated sales for way long after I bought that system. At the time (and for the next 1-2 years), consumer DDR4 was a luxury component that most no existing hardware supported.
Even before the war, in Romania where I'm from, gas prices became so high, that resistive heating became cheaper, when you opt for the national hydroelectric supplier (which anyone can do, they provide more than a third of electricity).

If you used heat pumps, you'd get 5x cheaper (or whatever CoP you get).

So sorry to hear that. Did you experience any warning signs before, like mild chest pains, palpitations, or shortness of breath, that day or in the weeks prior?

As noted in your link, that wasn’t a divestment. The Warsaw office already existed at that point (and was bigger than Krakow, I believe) and that is essentially where the positions from Krakow were moved to. In this context, the news is an actually a continuation — more investment in Warsaw.

> Private property should be defended always, not only when you're the recipient...

Russia is attacking civilian targets, some them are private property. Seems like Russia wants private property to be inviolable only when they are the recipient.

> All wars are terrible but this Ukrainian invasion is no worse than any other wars the west pursued in the middle east in the name of freedom.

Two wrongs make a right? How does the US government's hypocrisy entitle Russia to take territory from a country that had nothing to do with Iraq or Yemen?

Also, Russia was in Syria to prop up a dictator. Does that entitle US to annex parts of Russia? Or Cuba?

> ...but these sanctions were uncalled for and are just harming people of Russian origin.

The collapse of the Russian economy directly impacts Russia's ability to wage war. I empathize with the Russian people as they are clearly oppressed by Putin and the oligarchs, but obviously the war is likely to end if Russia can't pay or supply their soldiers.
It's a good post, but heavily OS dependant. For example, on my Mac:

$ ls /dev/null /dev/full
ls: /dev/full: No such file or directory
/dev/null

I guess in theory, you can imitate `/dev/full` by other means.

This seems to be checking return values, which is a very unixy thing to do.

Most Go in the wild is doing way more than a typical *nix binary, so the use case differs.

If you want a resilient system, you don't die on print and log failures.
Imo this is because the responsibility is not clearly defined and can be argued upon.

If my program writes to the standard output, but you choose to redirect the pipe to a different location, is it my program’s responsibility to check what happens to the bytes AFTER the pipe?

After all: my program did output everything as expected. The part which fucked up was not part of my program.

I can see why some projects decide to not handle this bug.

Curious if Zig's "software should be perfect" suffers from this.
China is not a dictatorship, it is more of a country ruled by an authoritarian party that is controlled by a few red families. Calling it such places was too much importance on one person who often acts just like a figurehead (albeit a very influential one) for the establishment.

I know all about RMB currency controls after living in China for 9 years. The RMB is still incredibly stable even when the situation merits less stability. The party values stability over everything else, it shows in their very conservative monetary policy.

I completely agree about China and Russia being frenemies. They will never share currencies, but letting the Russians use RMB for much of their trade with China is very much a possibility.

Either the switches, or, usually easier, the bulbs. As sibling said, Zigbee, but there is also Z-Wave (z-Wave is bigger in the USA, stricter. Zigbee, bigger in Europe, is more open, but you can get devices that suck in some way if you do no research). There is some new thing that’s related, Thread/Matter something, but I didn’t look into that yet.
You may be on to something. Sure human working memory (insofar as our measurement tools can tell us) seems to be limited to single-digit datasets, and long-term (that is, persistent) memory is poorly understood but research portrays that it's a pile of more or less random bits.

It's a subject of professional interest to me for decades, what impresses me is how much isn't known about how our built-in "computer" actually works. Above all neurons are extraordinarily intricate structures, and beyond that the contributions of non-neurons in the brain appear to be considerable. Given that the brain contains at least 100's of millions of participating neurons organized in a complex hierarchical network, no wonder it's still not possible to adequately account for many relatively simple phenomena let alone the emergence of towering genius.

Indeed our wetware is collectively both more capable (and more limited) than we generally appreciate. Definitely we can't predict where genius will arise, it always seems to surprise when it happens. To say it's a miracle may be naive, but perhaps that just expresses wonder and gratitude for a rare, random and highly fortuitous event.

I built a very similar product 10 years ago and even back then we heard feedback like this. And I believe the situation may be more pronounced today.

There seem to be markets (or large enough organizations?) where coding job ads get a tonne of applicants, many of them inexperienced, and so automation is a good fit. But not when things are tipped the other way.

Our bet was for real-world tests too but it wasn't enough. A few things we missed that might help…

- Candidates don't want to be treated like cattle

- For many companies a good interview platform will be more beneficial than automation

- Companies say they care about the experience candidates receive, they'll say they're rigorous and try to be as objective as possible with the way they collate information and make decisions, they'll talk about how high their standards are, etc etc. Be weary

- There may be more gains to be made outside of the tech space

- The problem most companies complained about and is probably still the hardest: going out and finding people

I like the way you've solved the "real-world challenge" problem.

Good luck and all the best!

Some parts of this price ecosystem would have looked different if Samsung had decided to straighten up their act and not shovel out crapware, adware, and nagware with their so called "Updates" for their lower end phones. It's a lost opportunity for Samsung.

Apple gets to do this because their devices seem safer, easier, and faster to use right now.
This is one of the reasons zig doesn't have a print function and you have to deal with the error when using the stdout writer[0].

There is a debate around what should be tested and what shouldn't.
I believe a good developer will try the code they wrote. If you try that out by running your app and e.g. manually forging a request to see it works, good. But in similar time, you could have finished a unit test for it which also shows that it works, but can be repeated anytime.

Also we don't just write unit tests to prove our code works, but for many other reasons, e.g.:

- they may live as a living documentation of the expectations from the code

- they protect against accidental change of logic

For a really simple rule, you may say that it is straightforward, but you cannot guarantee that rule _will_ stay simple, and in that case the original feature you just wrote can go bad, maybe unnoticed because there weren't unit tests for it.

Good unit tests give confidence to refactor, which is essential for maintainable code.
I just realized I never thought about why System.out.println doesn't declare an IOException. Turns out PrintStream silently catches the exception and turns it into an error flag no one ever checks. Undermining both the Ability to handle IO errors using exceptions and making it impossible to find out what happened over what I assume was the ability to call System.out.println without checking for errors. Right now I am just happy that my IO code generally writes to binary streams so I don't have to rush through my code base to check for that nasty surprise.
That’s less than my 2019-ish desktop, and I don’t remember paying that much for it.
A Phase Transition in Minesweeper
It's a fun take, but a hyperbole nonetheless. hello.c is supposed to be run from a terminal and write back to it: there's always space to write. It's not meant to be part of a shell script, so the error status is irrelevant.

It does show that we take such examples a bit too literally: our feeble minds don't consider what's missing, until it's too late. That's a didactic problem. It only matters to certain kinds of software, and when we teach many people to program, most of them won't go beyond a few small programs. But perhaps the "second programming course" should focus a bit less on OOP and introduce error handling.
For compiling c++ code, this really matters. At home, I have a 16 core 5950x and at the office an 8 core 2700x, and it is a night and day difference. Even if it's just a few minutes of compile time, it creates a different mindset. At home: Yeah, let's just recompile and see the changes. At the office: Oh no I have to recompile, let's go to the kitchen and grab a coffee or so, I have the time.
I do not recall my machine in '99. But I suspect it was close to my '98 build. I do recall upgrading the dual Pentium II CPUs to Pentium IIIs around late '99 or early 2000.

My personal computer/workstation was a dual 933Mhz Pentium II CPUs on a Tyan Tiger S1834D motherboard, a Creative Labs Nvidia TNT and a Creative Labs GeForce 2 GTS 32MB AGP, a Mylex array controller, 512MB of 133Mhz SDRAM DIMMs, 17x 2GB WD2170W HDDs, and a few 120GB EIDE HDDs, and dual 21" Viewsonic Professional CRT monitors.

By the side of my desk was a Silicon Graphics Crimson desk side, and I also had a purple Indigo 2 with the tricked out GPU and capture card and a 20" granite monitor, mouse & keyboard, though by then, those Silicon Graphics machines were getting long in the tooth.
Taste. That is what is fading away with Apple. And what used to set Apple apart from other Silicon Valley companies.

Steve cares about their product. So how much time each product gets to on staged. To the point sometimes he is willing to launch it without mentioning it in keynote and just drop something on a press release, just to give more spotlight for other products.

Now every Apple keynotes are no longer a showcase of excellence and craftsmanship, where a company used to care about making insanely great product for our customers. Instead it is lots of virtue signalling and sales pitch.
I also think the managers should come with conversation starters to these meetings. Be curious about what your reports do and proactively ask them about something specific they did last month and anything they can do to improve. Coming with a blank slate because you think you are doing someone a favor by giving them your time will always lead to status updates or awkward silences.
You realize the context of my question was that I was responding to someone who actually does get one done every year, right? And that I acknowledged that the risk-reward calculation changes quite a bit depending on what risk factors you have? I don't know what point you're trying to make, unless you think I'm just wrong to be asking this person in a special circumstance how he thinks about the risk. For example, perhaps there are extra precautions that I don't know about that can be taken for someone for whom yearly scopes are important.
Just for the lulz, I just maxed out a MacPro: $52,299.

I know I'm cheap and what not, but there's not many things in my world that costs $52k. A car is the most relatable thing in that price range to me, so that's where I turn. I'm guessing for some of you overpaid SV types <ducks>, that's just an average night at the club. We all relate to things differently.

You can't turn the world into utopia by sticking to a moral panic triggered by the civil rights movement.
Apple loves to compare incomparable stuff. G5 the "world's fastest personal computer" etc. Its easy to claim GPU performance when you dont support modern OpenGL nor Vulcan so nobody can just run modern games and verify and you end up with "relative performance" graph whatever that means.
You could have a way to explicitly flag that, instead C will assume that any accidentally silently discarded result can be optimized around with and kick of a landslide of changes that turns bugs ten times worse.

It matters when comparing CPU performance, which is what this benchmark is being used for.
OSX does have intermediate steps so you can use those instead. It's not true fractional scaling but as the resolution increases the artifacts are less noticeable. Don't know if there are any 2400px tall 4K screens if you want to go for exactly the same dimensions.
I don’t disagree that computer science intuition isn’t interesting, or that CS people can’t contribute. There are plenty of deep connections all over the place. You can conjecture all you want. My issue is with the tone.

Everything M1 is using the same core, so it won’t move until they go from M1 to something else.

They have managed to increase it pretty consistently with every iOS A series chip though: https://browser.geekbench.com/ios-benchmarks

So hopefully the A16 will have at least a small improvement over the A15/M1 and that’ll show in the M2 range, if that’s what they end up doing next.

You have just upped my game. No longer will I hand-type my imports when I need to bust out the Swiss army knife and type a quick (now lightning-fast) calculation. Don't know why I didn't do this sooner.

one good way to 'get the conversation going', as well as provide invaluable feedback, is to reverse roles and start the session with the employee review of your own performance as their manager. You can even say 'hey, this 1:1 is for me rather than you!'. It's fun and serious at the same time, and if you do it without ego you can learn a lot about how you are impacting your employees work, what you need to do to make a more conducive environment for them to thrive.
IME this is one of the most common economic misconceptions that people have, to think that the economic cost of a tax is borne by whoever nominally pays it.

Most people with no economics background will for example think that it's just companies that pay salary related taxes, or consumers who pay VAT. Those are both true in the accounting sense that the money is paid by those respective parties to the government but not in the economic sense of who would have the extra money if there were no tax.
