> And Capitalism rewards doing just a bit better than competition. I.e. optimize your time on quickest things that gives most users satisfaction.

More specifically, capitalism doesn't reward the worker for doing software architecture better at all, just rewards the company. So the workers will naturally make the politically safe choice for software architecture and not care whether that is right, which means making it look like the org chart.
Your second complaint only makes sense if the company doesn't want to go public to screw its employees over. If the offer is good you take it, it's still a market with one participant instead of no market.

Your third opinion literally involves most employees getting nothing.

I liked PON but it did seem to fall under the "thanks I'm cured" or "happiness is a choice" school of personal development. It works for some people, maybe those who sometimes fall under a bad mood once in a while, but doesn't do much for real mental illness. It's like telling a lifelong alcoholic that drinking is a choice or an overweight person that eating is just a choice. How do you stay on that horse if you fall off it nearly every waking hour?
"Surely you're joking Mr. Feynman" is so good. I read it, or listen to the audio book through my library via Libby, at least once a year. It portrays Feynman as so “normal” relative to his achievements and then makes his ideas much more accessible, such as the Feynman lectures. Sort of the sense of, if he can do it so can I.
I'm not convinced it is under funding. It could also be too many managers and not enough front line staff. Or it could be too many regulations making the process need far more time (time=money).

I don't know, but I lean to too much process.
That sounds a lot like the ideas in this talk, where he was asked to give a keynote at a software convention.

> This is an extraordinary vision of the future, in which computers play a fundamental role in making the world—and above all the built structure of the world—alive, humane, ecologically profound, and with a deep living structure. I realize that you may be surprised by my conclusion. This is not what I am, technically, supposed to have been talking about to you. Or you may say, Well, great idea, but we're not interested. I hope that is not your reaction. I hope that all of you, as members of a great profession of the future, will decide to help me, and to help yourselves, by taking part in this enormous world-wide effort. I do think you are capable of it. And I do not think any other professional body has quite the ability, or the natural opportunity for influence, to do this job as it must be done.
This is a good question.

What you have to do depends on the license. If it's open-source generally the license just says "include this license with the author's name in your project" (be wary of copyleft though).

What you should do? Per the definition, anyone open-sourcing their project should be ok with others using it without much in return. I think honestly, if you're using something like npm or cargo or forking a repository, and your project itself is open-source, you've already given credit and you don't need to do anything else. If you copy/paste someone else's code, you should put a comment above the copy attributing it to the author (along with including the license somewhere if necessary). And if your code and dependencies aren't themselves open-source, then you should mention the open-source code you've used somewhere like the "about" section.

The one thing you should not do is take credit for someone else's work. Don't hide that you're using each open-source project. Moreover, if a major feature or part of your project is someone else's work, make that clear. Don't copy a repository, change maybe 1 feature, and then distribute it without mentioning that 98% of it was from the original author. Most open-source devs won't ask for much credit, but if they do don't deny it to them.

I mean, I'm confident that the core of how it works -- "an exact match between the tokenized document and the tokenized query" -- hasn't changed in a very long time, but I can't really promise there wasn't another aspect I'm ignorant of that is responsible for the behavior you remember that changed somehow.

"Exact tokenized matching" can look like "exact string matching" a lot of the time. Until you hit some of the edge cases it's like kerning: https://xkcd.com/1015/
Taiwan seems entirely different to me. The US isn't reliant on Russian exports for anything. They are reliant on both Taiwan and China continuing to produce pretty much everything.

I don't think it's possible for the US to ban imports from China in any meaningful way and any financial sanctions would have too many US companies at risk.

It's in the US interest to decrease their direct reliance on Taiwan simply from a risk management sense. You can see this happening now with investments in chip foundries coming back to the US and to a lesser extent Europe.

I'm not sure I entirely agree with Trevor Noah's comedy angle that the location and colour of the people involved in Ukraine have elicited a much more emotional response than somewhere like Syria, but there is an element of truth in it.

The Moses story is more nuanced than that. Read the Caro book.

Ultimately the triumph of Moses was understanding the nature of power and making key friends and allies who helped him wield it. He got shit done. In the beginning, this was enormously beneficial - the state and city park systems, key bridges, and the framework of competent engineering that blunted the impact of the depression… New York was uniquely able to benefit from New Deal programs, because of Moses. We remember the exclusionary bridges of the Northern State Parkway, but forget that these highways broke the Dutch legacy of quasi-feudal great estates and baymen who kept the public from the seashore.

The problem is that his acquisition of power transitioned from triumph to tragedy. His friend Gov. Smith gave him ironclad control of key public authorities - he held 100 different jobs at one point. As in all cases, unchecked, unlimited power corrupts. Only Gov. Rockefeller was able to break the guy, and only because his family was his bankers. Moses’ empire ultimately saved NYC, as the subways would have been bankrupt without the toll bridges supporting the rail system.

Today, New York has a murky soup of laws that give certain unions a lot of power, and require that projects are bid out with multiple prime contractors, etc. Between that and the political dynamic from the transportation system being controlled by the State (the governor controls the MTA) and the complex home rule of NYC, it’s a complicated mess.

That said, NY is more functional than most other places when it comes to transit.

The person who is the subject of a contact may film that contact without an 8’ buffer. If I’m filming officer A from 10’ away and officer B comes to make contact with me, it does not appear that I’m obligated to stay 8’ from officer B not to stop filming that contact.
Thanks for being vague, I just started The Way of Kings last week. I've read Elantris and the first Mistborn trilogy from Sanderson. I'm roughly half way into this first book of The Stormlight Archive and I've already come to the conclusion that this likely is my favorite of his work.

I very much agree with your thoughtful sentiment. I've been wondering if the story of Joseph from the Bible had influence on Kaladin's character (Sanderson is a Christian). And Dalinar's character has me thinking about re-reading texts such as Meditations by Marcus Aurelius & Hagakure by Yamamoto Tsunetomo. These early assessments might be very wrong as I'm still early in the series, but the book definitely has me feeling inspired and motivated thus far.
Maybe pattern 104, "site repair"?

> If we always build on that part of the land which is most healthy, we can be virtually certain that a great deal of the land will always be less than healthy. If we want the land to be healthy all over - all of it - then we must do the opposite. We must treat every new act of building as an opportunity to mend some rent in the existing cloth; each act of building gives us the chance to make one of the ugliest and least healthy parts of the environment more healthy - as for those parts which are already healthy and beautiful - they of course need no attention. And in fact, we must discipline ourselves most strictly to leave them alone,so that our energy actually goes to the places which need it. This is the principle of site repair.
Philosophy divorced from experiment just devolves into navel gazing and batshit insanity.
You chose to call them live documents and seem to veer away from dashboard idea. It's cool to export 'reports' to whatever channel I'm interested in communicating over, but I wonder if you plan to offer a more Dashboard type view as well? I could see building a custom dashboard with your tools and have it look less 'documenty' for lack of a better word.

OK, here is some fact checking about the biolabs, spoiler: its Russian propaganda to justify their war and to shift the conversation.

- The US and Ukraine denies it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAhbNgBD4Vg https://www.kyivpost.com/ukraine-politics/sbu-no-us-biologic...

- There was a collaboration signed between US DoD and Ukraine's ministry of health: https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/05-829-Ukra... Its goal is to handle the pathogens dating from the Soviet era https://www.newspapers.com/clip/96323414/the-indianapolis-st...

- Ukraine is not alone with such collaboration with the US, e.g. Kazahstan and Georgia have similar projects too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZ9cCqChMLs

- the labs themselves are not secret, their researchers publish frequently and they are under Ukrainian authority, no US scientist work there https://www.kyivpost.com/ukraine-politics/sbu-no-us-biologic...

If you think about it the whole thing is totally illogical, why would the US build top secret labs outside American soil, in a country famous for corruption and whose neighbor is the USA's archenemy? Its like moving the Pentagon to Moscow.
I wonder what the copyright status of things written by Copilot is? Since a human didn't write some of the code produced, does that mean that those portions aren't copyrightable?

I knew I shouldn't have linked to Greenwald.

Just like, address the direct quote from Nuland.

> Now there a may or may not be concerns about biolabs.

There are concerns about biolabs. Nuland said exactly that. She even used the word "concern".

They are - I'm guessing from the context - unique enough that the Russians don't have labs like this, otherwise who cares if the Russians capture them? Am I just ignorant about non-weapons biolabs here?

> Matt Taibbi and Glenn Greenwald were so wrong about Putin's intentions regarding Ukraine

OK. And? They've acknowledged this. If being wrong about a thing disqualifies all your future reporting, then I shouldn't believe anyone.

And if we're talking about people being wrong about Putin's intentions, go back and watch the media and Democratic politicians mock Romney when he suggested back in the 2012 Presidential Debates that Putin was a threat - but now I have to believe everything those people say but Greenwald and Taibbi are off limits?

It feels like a theory/practice problem.

If there were zero external costs to having a minimum-latency market, no big deal.

But we're still short of that. So there's a lot of money and brainpower being thrown into marginal decreases in market latency. Do we want so many of our best engineers chasing HFT performance?

It also creates a new ecosystem of arbitrage-- the guy with 20ms ping can take advantage of price differences the guy with 40ms can't-- which isn't necessarily producing real value.

This also assumes that the goal of absolute price discovery is itself meritorious. Maybe we're better off not being able to correctly value assets with infinite precision, because it tends to encourage the mindset of chopping up businesses for parts.

I'm a fan of the old-line conglomerate model. By bundling so many diverse assets, they inherently block price discovery, which creates openings where risk hedges and long term plays can survive and pay out. But investors hate being unable to pull those components out of the stock price.
I don't think they meant stumble upon as in discover it for their own use. I read it more as physically tripping over the cable hanging from their 3rd story condo. A bit of a tounge-in-check story noting the diffculty of charging at home if you don't live in a single-family structure.
Many years ago I worked at a community TV station. One of the things we did was to add sound to footage where audio was missing or unusable.

I've had Copilot teach/tell me about things I didn't know I needed to be considering.

I was writing a parser for URL query strings (?these=things&key=value) and at one point Copilot suggested

return [decodeURIComponent(key), decodeURIComponent(value)];

and until I saw that I didn't even know that percent encoded text in URLs is something I needed to be thinking about.
In the time when quipus were in use, there was exactly one Inka. We don't use whatever word they used to refer to everybody else, who were all his personal property, and now, incorrectly, call them all Incas.

The Ottomans had a similar system: everybody was the slave of Suleiman.

A similar conceit was common in the old world.

It is painfully evident that the people Pizarro subjugated were not who built any of the most impressive megalithic works. You can easily distinguish the crude repair work they did on them, long afterward. (They are doubtless descendants of the builders.)
this is my question as well

There’s a tail wagging the dog factor to the highway stuff. The FHA sealed the fate of those neighborhoods by cutting off the oxygen.

I live in a small city that was carved up by redlining. My block was in the “yellow” zone, and the houses built after 1935 or so are very different than the houses on the next block, which is in the “green zone”.

Yellow = Italians and Greeks, 1 and 2 family small houses. Green = old money types, bigger houses on fancy lots.

Taxation of citizens abroad is simply wrong and a violation of sovereignty. You never heard of GILTI and have fun with almost every bank in the country turning you away immediately based on your place of birth (USA). In that case you are guilty of US citizenship until proven innocent. Have fun accepting contract work ("self-employed") and dealing with GILTI if you run your own foreign company. If you are a US citizen freelancer abroad youwill get slammed with double self-employment tax.

That was pretty much my thought. Their alma mater's colors and the use of this color at some other point in the past decade gave them minimally plausible deniability.

This can probably be sabotaged quite easily by putting a powerful enough near-visible light LED somewhere else in the room and a high-res camera to record responses. Many phones have trouble filtering out some IR (you can test this by aiming a remote at your phone with the camera app open, mine shows IR as pink light) and I don't expect communication lights to be too bright because of the discomfort that comes with flashing.

I also think this tech is entirely impractical for one single reason: flashing visible lights can easily induce seizures.

With BLE available in pretty much every OS (and even in many browsers), I don't see the added value of quickly flashing a smartphone flash light.
> There are humans in the seats of government and why wouldn't they want to do a good job?

I can’t tell if this is a joke.
I lived in the USA for 32 years, after growing up in the UK for 24. I don't see a "hard working ethic" in the USA. What I do see is a relentless, frequently unrealistic optimism that both diverts people from taking coherent political change seriously and also empowers them to believe that their lives will be better tomorrow than today.

Lots of people in the USA work to the bone. Maybe you don't work with them, or see them when and where they work, but many books and articles have been written by people who've been deep inside this phenomenon. "Nickel & Dimed" by Barbara Ehrenreich is a great example.

Yes, entrepeneurialism is easy here, and that's a good thing. However, I refuse to believe that this requires the rest of the system to remain as it is, or that by itself it justifies the suffering of the majority of people who do not "make it".

I should perhaps note that I did "make it" here in the USA. I have tried hard to to allow that to blind me to the fact that it was mostly luck, nor to the immense, unnecessary suffering that our economic and political system imposes on millions of people (even just within the country).
The main use of libquadmath seems to be to support gfortran. GCC/glibc also support _Float128 and <func>f128, which are nominally part of C, but only GCC implements them as far as I know.
Parent misspoke. It's been 21 lines consisting of 516 stations in total since inception (really since 2000 since there was a long lull of little activity in the 90s). The discrepancy in lines comes from whether you count certain rail-based transportation lines as part of the subway system or not. The discrepancy in subway stations is mainly due to whether you count interchange stations as single stations or multiple stations. I think the former is the one that is usually quoted for other subway systems in the world so makes more sense (so ~400 is probably the more appropriate number of stations to state).

I also wonder if the Wikipedia article may be out of date? IIRC there were some new stations added in the last few months. But even if that were the case it's just a couple of stations, so the numbers should still be close.

More impressive to me is the pace of construction in smaller cities which have also been rapidly building out subway systems (e.g. Hangzhou comes to mind, getting around Hangzhou on public transportation has drastically improved in the last five years, likewise I've personally seen the same immense improvements for Harbin).
You immediately see the difference when you open A Pattern Language and the very first pattern is:

> Wherever possible, work toward the evolution of independent regions in the worId; each with a population between 2 and 10 million; each with its own natural and geographic boundaries; each with its own economy; each one autonomous and self-governing; each with a seat in a world government, without the intervening power of larger states or countries.

No software pattern work has the audacity to start by suggesting that the ordering of the world's governance is relevant to the creation of good software.
