Again this is a different thing than “doctors go to conferences and get free hotels and gifts”. If you think researchers (the majority of whom aren’t doctors) might make shady deals with industry reps at conferences, I don’t have any evidence they don’t I guess. I don’t have evidence that industry reps don’t just call them on the phone and offer bribes either.
It seems interesting that the norms argued for here are contrary to the norms in a field like journalism, where journalists have an obligation to ask relevant people for comment. I'm not arguing for one approach over the other, but it would be interesting to look at the development of journalistic norms for counterarguments.

Not true in this case! I'm the author, and I believe the exact opposite about science - that there's astonishing value in learning about the work being done right now, that it's easy to miss so much of it simply because of the amount of information we all consume, and that the scientific process has a lot to teach the world about putting aside ideas of "right" and "wrong" in favour of keeping an open mind and holding our opinions lightly. But also: I'm happy if I can just point anyone towards those doing the actual scientific work, because I'm just a middleman here. If someone thinks I'm an idiot but clicks through to the research itself - that's a win too.

By some definition of 'expensive', probably there are more expensive apartments in NY, LA, and SF than anywhere else in the country. Those are probably the top three cities.

The reason rents and sale prices are high is that people love living in those areas.

How do you define that? Loaded terms are important to define; otherwise they become, 'whatever I think', which means different things to the writer and reader.
Zoning only became the downfall of American public transit because constituents are selfish; when 80%+ of a county's residents are homeowners, they're incentivized to fight back against anything that would cause their home values to drop (including public transit due to the noise and apartments which would reduce demand for single family homes), and the local politicians are incentivized to listen lest they be ousted in the next election for working against the community's interests.

For a while in the late 1990s, there was a nominally-open camera OS called Digita. I had a camera that it ran on, and none of the skills to take advantage of it, but I remember someone built DOOM for it so that was neat.

People were writing Digita programs to do things like eat NMEA0183 GPGLL sentences and stuff them into the EXIF tags, because USB wasn't ubiquitous yet and a lot of cameras still had RS232 ports and cameras certainly didn't have native geotagging yet, but someone figured out it would be useful.

It was pretty wild, and I don't know why it flopped.
I think that you are wrong:

https://www.experian.com/blogs/ask-experian/medical-debt-and...

> Medical bills will not affect your credit as long as you pay them. However, medical debt is handled a little differently than other types of consumer debt. Since most health care providers don't report to credit bureaus, your debt would have to be sold to a collection agency before appearing on your credit report. Most medical providers won't sell the debt to a collection agency until you are 60, 90 or even 120 days or more past due. Exactly when that happens depends on your health care provider.

Sounds to me like it's still going on your credit report. Just might take a little longer.
Thanks for replying!

Here's what I think it boils down to: working on a codebase with your coworkers is (or at least certainly should be) an inherently collaborative process. On the other hand, a job interview is, in a sense, inherently antagonistic. No matter what shape the interview takes, these people aren't your friends, they aren't your coworkers, they are gatekeepers.

I already have a job as a programmer. At work, I can push back on my coworkers and debate the merits of various designs until we all reach a consensus. But with the Teleport interview, there's an inherent power imbalance that makes that impossible: "I'd really like to argue about this, because I don't think I agree, but I'm afraid that will decrease the chances of them hiring me."

And the only people who are in a position to change this process are the ones who have already gotten through it successfully.
There's a very important difference between those things. Potato chips are purchased voluntarily, while NASA takes money from taxpayers who will be put into cages if they don't comply.

Wouldn’t your early hires’ time (and equity) be better spent doing the things that make your company unique rather than menial rack-and-stack, cabling, having to drive to the DC when a disk dies, etc?
OK, but there's clearly an existence proof, and it ran fine on 32 bit machines with slow processors (or even embedded CPUs in the 80's!) way before all the piled hacks you are describing were invented.

As I understand it, all that's needed is a vector renderer, and you keep everything (even text) in vector format as long as possible. RGBA then becomes a special case, as it must be for any DPI independent rendering pipeline.

Trying to compose rendered vectors using pixel based operations is madness, so... don't?

That means you can't have a bitmap-based compositor. So what? GPU's are great at rendering vectors. Composite those instead of bitmaps.

Or, just don't composite at all. A decade later, Linux desktop compositors are still an ergonomic regression vs. existing display drivers with vsync and double buffering support.
OK I could keep trying to come up with off-the-cuff examples and you could keep throwing asterisks on them, but instead I'll just say this: I think you can do rejection therapy with the public without putting people into a weird place.
Among my affluent, educated, “liberal” friends, expressions of concern about race have completely replaced concern about poverty. I probably hear more people talking about student loans than poverty—except insofar as that poverty affects non-whites.

The brilliant thing about “equity” is that it refocuses everyone on distribution within a class instead of between classes. “Health equity” means you prioritize people of color over whites when they show up at an under-resourced hospital. But it draws attention away from the disparities between medical resources available in rich communities versus poor ones. Admissions gerrymandering at Princeton may mean that the consultants at McKinsey are more diverse than ever, but they’re all still working on shipping American jobs to China. In theory, of course, one can chew gum and walk at the same time—think about class disparities, and also about racial disparities that exist even after accounting for class. But that’s not the nature of politics. If you split the electorate along one axis (race), it becomes almost impossible to work on issues that require them to orient themselves along another axis (class). And of course 80% of racial inequality is caused by the top 10%, so you’ve kneecapped your ability to achieve the measures that would make the biggest difference.
>Our system is completely fucked.

Yeah, turns out problems like these aren't easily solved, hence why they're not solved.

>True, but this would still overall be beneficial because the CEOs of those janitorial companies are now paid more in line with the janitors, which means that the working conditions are more likely to improve.

Amazon has contracted some of its delivery to DSPs, which are essentially what you described. Have those turned into a worker's paradise?

>Probably, but how many employees in America get year end bonuses? Because I've gotten like...2 and I've worked a decent range of jobs. They're way less common than you think. Yes, this would probably mean the people at the top would start taking from the middle instead of the bottom to retain their profit. It's not ideal, but I'd rather someone be stuck renting longer/have to cut their grocery bill (middle class) than end up homeless (lower class).

Not much, because there isn't pressure to game the regulatory system. When such measures are implemented, workarounds would surely spring up. It's not any different than how early in the pandemic, landlords gave move-in bonuses (rather than straight-up decreasing rent), because those bonuses could be easily taken away whereas rent could not easily increased.
Trucks are better targets since without them tanks aren't very mobile, whereupon artillery becomes more effective against them.

A tank will need approximately 300 gallons every eight hours; this will vary depending on mission, terrain, and weather. A single tank takes 10 minutes to refuel. Refueling and rearming of a tank platoon--four tanks--is approximately 30 minutes under ideal conditions.

The cost gains are from standardized build templates with factory built components. Like I said, today's nuclear reactors are all bespoke builds.
What the people inferring from my comment are missing is that the reproduction efforts actually saved us from damage.

The real damage would have been everyone believing the paper conclusions were solid and start to act according to this false belief.

Reproduction efforts saved us from that damage.

These efforts were not the damage.

Whoever is seeing differently doesn't understand one of the basic foundations of how the scientific endeavor works.

And again: anyone expecting a world where there are no dishonest scientists or where the dishonest ones call themselves out in advance to save from the "damage" of people spending time reproducing their papers, is just playing wishful thinking, which is not a recipe for success...

The main point is that the Ukrainians are very motivated while the Russians are not, and to the author, quoting Napoleon, morale makes a 3 to 1 advantage for the former.

Finally, the article note how cheap antitank weapons have shifted the balance of power on the field: expansive tanks now cannot resist them.

In my opinion, there’s one ethical way to live for those with the privilege to make the choice. It’s small, dense, multi-family housing in an urban area with minimal automobile reliance.

Climate change is very real and contributing to sprawl and car culture is an extremely selfish decision.

I understand many people want to live in houses with yards, but think about the world 250 years from now. People are going to have a lot fewer choices about how they live and it’s due in part to the decisions we make today.

And I understand this is a radical view and I’m not going to change anyone’s mind, but it’s the way I choose to live.
Coffee is a drug and that addiction is real. It's still debatable, but the symptoms of coffee withdrawal are a good indication of that.

That being said, it also really depends on your daily coffee consumption. If your coffee dependency is very high and spread throughout the day it will affect your sleep, cause morning fog and lethargic feeling as your body is sleeping, but your brain is not getting a good night's rest and the withdrawal will be a difficult too.

There was a small research done which determined how to maximize the benefit of coffee drinking by drinking it in small amount but changing the time when you drink coffee. Morning coffee is a bad habit as your cortisol levels are high, and you should drink coffee when that level drops. So between 10am - 1pm is a good time to drink your first and only cup of coffee as it stays in your system for 8-10hours, so you should adjust that timing based on the time you go to sleep.
And to make the most of it, you should drink as much as you want, 2-3cups in that window.

I was a morning and evening coffee guy, but I now drink between 11am-1pm, the first few days I had severe headaches by 10-11am because of the delayed coffee kick, but later it tapered out. Now I do have a coffee dependency so if I don't drink coffee I do get headaches but since that window has shifted my headaches don't start before late evening which can be managed with a short walk and trying to sleep early. Which I think is healthier than having the day ruined.

Bitwarden works fine.
Do MySQL!
I mean there’s a middle ground.

A while ago I was part of a corporate takeover. The company being taken over was bleeding money to AWS.

The new owners, who knew nothing about tech, held a series of meetings where it was decided we would rent a server at a data center (maintenance included), and move everything to Kubernetes.

Not only was the cost reduced by a factor of 100s, but efficiency increases, and errors decreased.

It was a decision with no downsides.

To this day I’m still stumped why AWS is preferred over doing it yourself.

I know the arguments. But for many small companies, a box in the wall (with a backup on a different continent) should do it.
I’m down for the alternative. We can allow people to opt out of funding basic science programs, but they must the pay a extra tax when they use a product that’s the result of that basic science.

The tax would be fair since you’d figure out the rate of return of that basic science and add up all that compounding return.
Well, as you know, all food is either a cake or a pie. So that settles that problem.
I'd recommend giving a go to Bitwarden.

6502's xor is not efficient (IIRC) for swapping because the result is always stored in A, and the second operation is either immediate or memory. AKA it is to much an accumulator machine, similarly for 6800 even though the xor can target multiple registers the source still has to be memory, so while its possible to create an xor swap, the alternatives are going to be more efficient. Z80+/8080/etc have an exchange..

I suspect it might be useful on ArmV1 because xor can operate between registers and it doesn't (IIRC) have an xchng. Although Arm wasn't nearly register starved enough, nor does it have special register uses (index vs accumulator, etc) for a trick like this to be really useful.

PS: The fastest way to swap a register pair on 6502 is probably storing the first register into the instruction stream for an immediate load, then a register, register transfer, followed by the immediate load. Bonus if the code is running in the zero page, saving a cycle on the store. (3+2+2=7 cycles).
Are you in part of the majority of the US where the bulk of education funding comes from local taxpayers in the form of property taxes? It’s the combination of that funding mechanism with OE that I view as dangerous. If you’re in one of the parts where the large majority of the costs come from state and federal funds it may work better. For what it’s worth in my province (state-equivalent) we fund schools entirely through income tax at the provincial and federal level so the funding for schools is completely independent of property values. Good neighborhoods still have better schools for complex reasons but those better schools don’t have funding advantages over the worse ones.

By any chance, were you referring instead to Richard Jones' "The Garbage Collection Handbook: The Art of Automatic Memory Management"?

Odd - in your previous comment you say you pay people based on what they produce. Here you seem to be saying you pay people more than what they produce - I'm reading "I do that too" as a response to my point about hiring people who produce less than a large minimum wage in value.
This was one of the original use cases for crypto, before the ghouls moved in. You could pay $0.05 to sign up for an account, something that remains impossible to this day due to payment providers' transaction fees.
The one thing that I've seen that cloud services such as AWS offer over places that offer dedicated servers or co-locating your own servers is the type of administrator you need.

Administrating a server even a dedicated server with terabytes of storage attached to it and many hundred gigabytes of RAM to either correctly run microservices or containers or VMS efficiently and redundantly is a very specialized skill set. Well there's a lot of people who call themselves and admins who can do that, there's really not that many that can do it well. And the moment they encounter problems they lack the skill set to understand why so there now embedded with service contracts to vendors who are giving them the advice on how to run it properly.

Scaling up ec2 instances and block storage and all the other cloudy widgets you completely eliminate that specialized skill set. You need people who understand something about operating systems you need people who understand the application but you don't need people who understand in detail how your OS is going to interact with your hypervisor in the metal that it's running on along with how your data storage goes down from application to spinning rust. The cloud service takes care of that specialty for you and all you do is say am I getting the correct performance metrics or not and when you're not you don't care why you just restart your instance or open a ticket with the cloud provider.
Time is one of the most important resources for any startup. Also, startups need to be very flexible since they might need to re-evaluate and move in a different direction. Long term AWS will save lots of time. You really don't know what you will need. AWS has lots of services to choose from. If you can afford it and have the expertise, start with AWS rather than individual servers. At some point you might find that you can save money by setting up your own servers but that will come after you have an understanding of your business and needs.

There's a lot going on here that could be improved, for example the compiler could decide that it's going to just elide the whole thing about `skip + 1 < skip` on platforms with signed char, because signed overflow is UB. My point was that in languages that aren't as primitive as C your function contains mainly just the dangerous logic, and you can read and reason about it. In the C version, it's full of noise like checking calloc return value for null, manually freeing locally-allocated memory, moving data with memcpy instead of just assignment, etc.
