Considering how often devs rely on explorer, I wonder what the ones at Microsoft will think. Maybe they have a special key to get rid of ads.

Either way, there are 1000 other FS managers on Windows. The only obstacle is matching the integration Explorer has. They have the advantage of being an in house app.

Other file managers have identical integration to basic functionalities like opening a folder today. What’s stopping Microsoft from closing out these features?
It's definitely down in a large part to plug-ins. Things like Dark Reader I can understand, but I have no idea why 1Password would cause a 30% performance drop on a site that I don't even have a PW for.

My point still stands about going back a page and arrowing up/down the URL bar to select something and having it swap at the last second. Those behaviours are peculiar to Safari and they're really inexplicable from a user perspective. Whether it's related or not, the mobile version of Safari is even worse - going back a page refreshes 95% of the time, when it shouldn't given the amount of RAM iPhones have had for the past 5+ years.

The Chromium stuttering on M1 Macs is definitely a problem and I wish Google would get to fixing it.

That’s just fake news. You’ll never be right about him. CNN is literal propaganda. Fox News has always been pro right wing, but show me one story on their site with a blatant lie. You won’t be able to. Trump had fun and said stuff to get the media roaring, but everything he said in theory was true. The pro democracy liberal elites banned a sitting president who was democratically elected, let’s not forget. Whether or not trump lies isn’t even the point, but the people America seems to be wanting to defend are the same people who would ban trump for saying something offensive. That’s what I have a problem with. If you want change, stop defending the elites who mess us up. Trumps even pro Ukraine, which doesn’t surprise me since he too is pro democracy. (And I don’t mean that in a bad way). Elon musk is tweeting for likes asking Putin to fight him. He’s most certainly liberal, but pro capitalism. The point is, I guess I’m asking why America says they don’t want censorship and what not, and then defends the same people who’ll spread propaganda about a war and pretend they’re winning etc. I’m just curious if anyone sees it similar to the way I do. Really, maybe my question should be, does America even know what the people up top represent?
Not the full body scanner used by the America's TSA, but the TOEIC testing centers in my country already require candidates to pass through a metal detector when entering the testing room.
This is the headline you are annoyed at, its subheading in the article, and the article's concluding paragraph:

"Antarctic sea ice hits lowest minimum on record"

"Natural variability is probably the cause, although global warming could have a role."

“This could be the start of sustained loss of Antarctic ice similar to what we have seen in the Arctic over the past 50 years, or it could be short-term variability that reverts back to the mean year,” says Zeke Hausfather, a climate scientist at Berkeley Earth in California. In the long term, climate change will result in declining Antarctic sea ice, he adds.

I do not see fearmongering here. I see a Nature article reporting a noteworthy measurement, without applying any subjective tone or value judgement that would induce anxiety. No mention of human extinction, no mention of steering resources, no politics. In fact it emphasizes the ice's natural variability, as if the authors want to avoid fanning the flames.

Why do you see it that way? I'm actually really puzzled, since you seem to value sensible and rational consideration of things. I would've expected you to comment, "Thank goodness for a level-headed article that provides a balanced interpretation!"
I think whether it's acceptable or not is heavily dependent on the team and the work. In my personal experience (mostly Java) when people say they can't reasonably split something up it's more often a "not willing to" than "actually can't". Generally speaking the strategies that make smaller code reviews possible also have a whole bunch of positive side benefits, a la "make the change easy, then make the easy change".

I personally save many-hundred-line reviews for 100% automated refactorings or string find/replace or similar, though I acknowledge I'm often doing extra work just to make the PR process smoother (even if it's a throwaway intermediate step).
I think most people get the sentiment but to say that somehow it’s better inside Google sounds hilarious to me.. try building chromium or similar things and you are greeted with a huge set of one off “Google solutions” that almost nobody else uses. oh don’t forget to edit the args.gn file and GYP defines and set your sysroot via a python script if you need to cross compile, download depot_tools and put it in your path so you can run “fetch” commands among others then finally now you have a ninja file and you can run ninja.. ok so all of those solutions somehow are better than writing a cmake file?

It’s like one of the biggest problems that seems to be a plague related to build systems is that there is a point somewhere around the level of a makefile that a very large number of programmers can understand but is hard to maintain so various companies build infrastructure on top of the makefile that is semi custom.. then another engineer comes along and builds abstraction on top of that. So you end up with this house of cards that depends upon python 3.8, etc etc then finally there is a makefile.

I do wish all of these whacky build systems would be required to have some choke point where it prints to stdout “generated makefile at path = /……, continuing in 3 seconds… running make -f xxxxxx”

For 1, Hand off the pager to another engineer for daytime.

I totally get the sleep thing, though!
I never had it too bad with being on-call, but my previous team did a piss-poor job of onboarding engineers, writing TSGs, and paying down tech debt. One rotation, I got paged at like 3am and again a few hours later. Bizarrely, it totally messed up my ability to be in the moment with my family for the whole weekend.

And I developed this sort of 'anxiety' every time my phone rang. My stock ringtone never felt harsh before, but the instant my phone started ringing, I could feel my heart pounding. Would this be the call that would finally be more than I could handle? Even after I was done with my rotation, I just got so agitated any time my phone rang.

I switched my ringtone to the Mr. Roger's Neighborhood theme, and I left that team (for other reasons). I'm a much happier person at work and at home now.

Which ban are you asking about?
"Variants of this idea that I frequently hear engineers and VCs repeat involve companies being efficient and/or products being basically as good as possible because, if it were possible for them to be better, someone would've outcompeted them and done it already"

tl;dr about 5%, if you take very conservative values.

I decided to do the maths at a very basic level. Nimitz class carriers produce about 1100MWth between their two reactors. Gerald R. Ford classes put out about 1400. There's 10 of the former and 1 of the latter. This gives a total generation of 12400MWth accross them all, assuming you could some how take their entire thermal generation and make it offboarded electricity.

1 Barrel of Oil Equivalent is 1.7MWh, thus you need 14.12 barrels per day to generate 1MW constantly. According to the OP article, Russian exports to OECD Europe are about 3 million barrels per day, or about 212500 MW/day.

One of the tenents of Big Stick ideology [1] is allowing your adversary the ability to save face in defeat. On the other hand there is the adage that you are never supposed to interrupt your enemy while they are making a mistake.

While I think it is possible, is giving Putin an out the best long term option? Putin is a constant belligerent and thorn to the west. Would allowing his collapse be a long term win? Should we "refuse to negotiate with the Bolsheviks" again?

If putin is really this weak and the military really is this deflated; now might be the most opportunistic time to bring russia under western influence.

At least during the cold War the competition benefited both sides. Russia is in no position to start another R&D war with the west. We won that 40 years ago.

> I think that's kind of the point. Dan Luu can change his priorities to do a performative display of what interviewers expect and then Dan Luu can pass a job interview.

This is the problematic logic I was trying to highlight: It's written as though he's infallible. He knows the correct answers to the interview questions, but he also deduces what his interviewers are thinking and why they're wrong.

The other possibility is that maybe the interviewers know what they're doing when they decline him, even when he answers the questions correctly. Interviews are about more than just reciting the correct answers to the questions, but he only discusses them as a sort of pass/fail quiz where the candidate is supposed to guess what the interviewer wants to hear.

My perspective is likely quite different as a hiring manager. The part where he talks about Palantir walking him out the door despite correctly answering the questions as fast as they can deliver is the kind of thing that happens when the interviewers agree that someone is smart, but isn't a good fit for the team. If you do enough interviews, you eventually come across people far more brilliant and successful than yourself whom you would nevertheless not really see fitting into your company's work culture. Someone who openly boasts about dodging interview questions and debating interviewers because they think they can read the interviewer's mind (and they are wrong) fits this description. You know they'll do fantastic things somewhere, but they're not the kind of person you're looking for to fill the open position on your team.

> I don't think Dan Luu is struggling for work.

Neither do I! I never meant to imply as much. Dan posted the long Twitter thread over a period of several weeks, so it appeared in my timeline frequently. I only brought it up as an example of his writing style, not his career.

I read the title, and my head-space jumped to empire where BTU stands for Bureaucratic Time Unit. This was a measure of how many actions you could take in a unit amount of time before your capital’s bureaucracy was exhausted; once you have none left, you have to wait for some real time to pass before you can do anything else. This meant that declaring war on another player’s country at the traditional time of 2am their-time still only gave you a limited advantage.

We have well proven storage methods that don't scale. We have unproven storage mechanisms that we hope will scale.

Let's actually put this in perspective: Global electricity consumption is about 60 TWh daily, which works out to about 2.5 TWh per hour or 40 GWh per minute. Plans to run a wind and solar grid predict a 12 hour storage requirement to generate 80% of our energy from wind and solar [1], and weeks of storage for a 100% wind and solar grid. And remember, this is on top of the cost of actually generating all that energy in the first place. If people want to prove that these storage mechanisms are viable, then how about they build one minute's worth of storage. If we don't even have one minute's worth of storage provisioned, then I see zero reason to be confident in the ability to build hours, days, or weeks of storage.

By comparison, we'd need to build 9 nuclear plants for each one that presently exist to generate all of our electricity from nuclear. Any only 8 if we eliminate everything but nuclear and hydro. Also, It's 68 years since the first nuclear electrical plant and 80 years since the first fission reactor.

Is it more honest? Or is it just more self-centered, or more defensive, or more timid? Are you admitting that you aren’t sure about something, or are you brazenly assuming that people care about how confident you are about things, or are you defensively trying to say the least possible?

Framing this as a matter of “honesty” is, well reductive.

Parent post was not denying that. There are indeed long-standing norms in non-corrupt societies that require avoiding even the mere appearance of impropriety whenever unequal power relationships may be involved. But this just goes to prove that neither side should be seriously entertaining intimacy, and that keeping "lists" of people you want to improperly fraternize with would be especially problematic behavior.

It applied to vermin like mice, too.

From Wired[1]:

> In the 17th century, physician and chemist Jean Baptiste van Helmont, apparently sick of there not being enough mice in this world, devised a home recipe for their manufacture. It was quite simple, really, far simpler than getting a girl mouse and boy mouse together with a tiny bottle of wine: “If a soiled shirt is placed in the opening of a vessel containing grains of wheat,” he wrote, “the reaction of the leaven in the shirt with fumes from the wheat will, after approximately 21 days, transform the wheat into mice.”

Yeah, I was going to make a similar response. Like you pointed out, if anything 'trust in the media and government' has eroded so much its fallen into complete absurdity. Of course skepticism should always be exercised when consuming anything --media, politicians, etc-- but how the eff phenomena like 'Q', Sandy Hook deniers, 'stop the steal' (etc etc) could possibly gain traction as movements suggests parts of society are so preemptively distrustful they're actually losing grip on reality.

I hold to a very similar sentiment. I sold Bazel on my blog like this:

> Our builds will be pure functions from source to deployable. This will represent a durable evolution the software engineering field, and Bazel will become as essential as git and source control. Like git, we will often find it annoying. We will punch out comments about how it’s API is not quite right, or that it’s too hard to learn, and we will likely be right. But we will never suggest going back.[1]

Unfortunately Google is not throwing its weight behind Bazel enough to overcome Bazel's significant up-front costs. Maybe in time...
