Some big problems I see with big new cityscape ideas is the 'legacy support' and 'network effect'. We can play SimCity all we want, but for the ideas to make an impact, they need to be implemented.

'Legacy support' is figuring out how to deal with the non-blank canvas you're starting from, if you're starting with a populated area. Sewer lines are already dug, buildings exist, people live there, etc, and now you need to solve those problems, too.

When's the last time a bunch of people in lower-income housing were happy to be forcefully relocated? Because you're not going to be buying land in high-income areas(due to cost, Nimbys, and probably being in the suburbs), and those people need to live somewhere while the probably-union contractors go over on time and budget for the project.

'Network effect' is getting people to live at your site. Why is your cityscape more attractive than what someone else already lives in? And, remember that the people most likely to be able to afford to live in your new development may not end up living there full-time, since the first round of buying/leasing will favor those who have a bigger pile of cash. Will those people be a net positive to the community, or will they treat it as a vacation home?

Countries’ vulnerability to food trade shocks from network-based simulations
Thanks for the in depth writeup, this is all super interesting, and lo and behold it sounds like the answer to what I was poking at was "it depends" and "there is nuance", which is honestly super neat. Just more fuel for the fire of "the human brain is fantastically complex and we know so little about it", the fact that the two of us could have such different experiences and mechanisms, that ultimately serve similar purposes; move a human being through their lives, while keeping them alive and "well".
No, it's not "liking" being hated, it's that it doesn't deeply disturb you.

Imagine you and a buddy have been arguing lately but you still go out hunting together. A bear appears out of nowhere and charges at your friend. You shoot and miss the bear but hit and kill your friend. There's not enough evidence to convict you of murder, so you walk free, but literally everyone around and whom you know thinks you murdered this person.

The trick is to let that wash off of you. You know you were trying to save your friend; there's not much you can do to change that opinion. Just let it not affect you as much as possible.
"All of them are men."

I have a PhD in physics and one of Nobel prize laureates in theoretical physics made the following observation in my presence (I will leave him anonymous for obvious reasons): "All crackpots with zero knowledge of physics that have ever emailed me are men. It shows that there's more to the STEM gender gap than discrimination".

MI1 was one of the first adventure games I've played (real first one was Leisure Suit Larry 1) and I have very fond memories of it (and, of course MI2). Really awesome to see Ron Gilbert involved in this and hoping to get a huge dose of nostalgia out of it.
Hoping this would trigger a bigger franchise, I would really love to play an open world game of based on the Monkey Island universe (and humor).
While I agree in spirit with your point that being true to yourself is very important, as somebody who's been consistently honest (over ~15 years or so career) I'm afraid I think you're far too optimistic on that front.

By all means do what I do which is -- be honest so you can sleep at night knowing you tried to do the best for the company -- but don't always expect good outcomes.

That last point is the crux of why things don't always work out because, who decides whether you're being constructive or a whiny, critical, negative contrarian? Might it be the manager you're criticising? :)

I've had the 'it's the way you say it' thrown in my face before despite having said things a number of different ways each getting the same response. Manipulative, gaslighting managers absolutely thrive on those kind of blurry lines.

Often middle managers are playing an entirely different game than you are. They want to look like they're not only essential but the reason things turn out well. Some decide to adopt a meta of bashing down people who call any of that into question (an underling raising concerns might risk them taking credit rather the manager).

I've also had the bad luck of having a truly evil manager in the past who made sure to cause actual psychological harm to me and other ex-colleagues. I am glad you haven't experienced that but they do exist.

I guess the correct test for 'is it me?' is to assess what others think. If many independent employees are experiencing the same thing then it's probably real. If it's only you, then question whether maybe you're the cause.
You can get mortgage of 400k USD, what a great thing to get when entering 18... Sorry guys but this is so fucked up from European point of view. And that poor people are pushed to enlist to kill innocent folks half around the globe just to be able to study is yet another level of fuckery.

But at least you guys get some semi-decent medical insurance to live like a human being. For which we also don't need to pay (or very little bulk sum with hard ceiling). Something about basic human rights, future of our race and all.
I have many times clicked "reply", typed in a long post, looked at it again and re-read it, and then closed the browser tab rather than post it. I probably do that more often than I actually post, nowadays. I do this not because I suddenly decide I don't believe in what I wrote, or that I think the post has no value or will start a flamewar. I do this because I'm pretty sure the downvoters (and possibly even mods) will come down on me like a ton of bricks for the content of the post. It just doesn't seem worth it to put a counter-narrative post out there that's just going to get buried into low-contrast purgatory pretty much immediately.

This seems to be "Working As Designed" given the rules here. I wouldn't call it censorship or even heavy moderation. It's something else--self moderation? groupthink? I don't know. But it's likely the reason the place hasn't devolved into a sewer.

I totally believe great-grandparent post's take: "Any platform that embraces free speech will gradually become /b/." I think this is pretty hard to refute. Look at what happens every time someone gets banned from Platform X and tries to create "The Free Speech Version Of Platform X." The new platform gets populated by the latest batch of Platform X's cast-offs, and eventually and inevitably turns into a toxic stew of antisemitism, conspiracies, and bigotry.
Potentially toxic middle management on the other hand...

I've actually carefully avoided saying stuff that was substantially true about managers precisely because I knew that (i) it'd match what other leavers had said and (ii) I'd been there a lot longer, and knew the real issues were structural, but if the company decided there was an issue with staff turnover it wasn't the big picture stuff they'd go for.
So many comments here are disagreeing with the article because people commenting have had positive or neutral experiences in exit interviews. But he's talking to the people who haven't already been through enough jobs to be able to assess whether the particular exit interview they're going into is safe. He also describes very specific criteria people can use to assess whether they are in a position to offer critical feedback during the interview.

I really appreciate this article, because this is one of those specific moments in a job where walking in unaware can affect you really badly, for a long time. Making people aware of that situation, and offering a framework for how to think about it, can be really helpful to people who are in their first jobs.
Uncoordinated volunteers are worse than useless, sadly.
The link you posted says 100% of benefits which is either all tuition at an in-state school or up to $26k/year at a private of foreign school. $26k a year is a lot...

You also get 100% of the benefit if you served for 36 months. That is a far cry from what you described.
Add to that a bunch of "rare" / "unlikely" / "silent" CPU bugs (compute errors) that Google and Facebook see with regularity: https://muratbuffalo.blogspot.com/2021/06/cores-that-dont-co...

> So Google found fail-silent Corruption Execution Errors (CEEs) at CPU/cores. This is interesting because we thought tested CPUs do not have logic errors, and if they had an error it would be a fail-stop or at least fail-noisy hardware errors triggering machine checks. Previously we had known about fail-silent storage and network errors due to bit flips, but the CEEs are new because they are computation errors. While it is easy to detect data corruption due to bit flips, it is hard to detect CEEs because they are rare and require expensive methods to detect/correct in real-time.

https://muratbuffalo.blogspot.com/2021/06/silent-data-corrup...

> The paper claims that silent data corruptions can occur due to device characteristics and are repeatable at scale. They observed that these failures are reproducible and not transient. Then, how come did these CPUs pass the quality control tests by the chip producers? In soft-error based fault injection studies by chip producers, CPU CEEs are evaluated to be a one in a million occurrence, not 1 in 1000 observed at deployment at Facebook and Google... The paper also says that increased density, technology scaling, and wider datapaths increase the probability of silent errors.
Are you saying people who hate him don't visit his Twitter or are you saying they would abstain from the poll on principle?

If the former, I disagree as it seems people do hate him, follow, and reply on the regular. Pretty much trolling.

If the latter, what makes you think those trolls wouldn't spite vote if they take the time to write toxic replies.

I love this is the nitpicky stuff people get into about Elon.

It's usually some pedantic thing like a Twitter poll.

It's not just China or one-off products. Nintendo couldn't figure out the USB Type C spec for the Switch. I guess the ultimate spec is the "does it work on my machine" test, and the Chinese HDMI dongles and Nintendo Switch both passed with flying colors. Ship it!
If you were to create a point and click today with off-the-shelf engines, what would you use? AGS? Adventure Creator? Game Maker? Visionaire? Unity w/ an adventure game package (forget what this was called)?

I think Wadjet Eye uses AGS, IIRC.
You're missing the point. The desire to bail out of a social commitment is the problem, not the way you're doing it. Blind cancelling or coming right out and saying it are both baby behaviour.

nanobind/pybind11 (co-)author here. The space of python bindings is extremely diverse and on the whole probably looks very different from your use case. nanobind/pybind11 target the 'really fancy' case you mention specifically for codebases that are "at home" in C++, but which want natural Pythonic bindings. There is near-zero overlap with Cython.
I've considered it due to remote work. Simply because I'm sitting here with a company laptop that is plugged into a docking station literally 100% of the time. Apple's battery management functions (pausing charging to not cook batteries) has bitten me on the ass a number of times it doesn't seem to realize that i'm working the cpu pretty hard (intel) and it drains the pittance of a battery i have left an d shuts down without bothering to start using wall power.

Well, you can do

RET

in this case. Still direct, just a bit slower. Wonder if modern CPUs speculate past this construction.
>Good money is money that exists to be lent out over many years for people to buy homes and to pay people to do jobs for other people.

Couldn't disagree more. Good money is money you own outright and control entirely. Before crypto this usually meant precious metals and cash. A loan is not your money, and excessive loaning and renting will quickly spiral out of control and cause inflation (like we're seeing now). Paying people a living wage and not taxing the poor to death is what actually makes an economy stronger.

Debt based economies are the height of stupidity. If apps offering micro-loans for fast food isn't evidence of a total system failure then I really don't know what is.

>A lot of history scholars warned this was a repeat of the Gilded Age. Rich people became richer, and poor people became poorer. Crypto made that worse.

A Bitcoin will rob you like a spoon will make you fat. People made it worse. And if we're going to make appeals to historical lessons, maybe it's time to rethink the seriousness with which we treat monopoly bucks in general.
I would say I feel the same way. What works for me is creating a space where everything is ready to go. I have three different maker spaces on my property. Each of them has computers, one has 3D printer and high end computing. Another one has all of my wood and metalworking. The last one is a total immersion room I built for focus. You don't have to work on this thing but you do have to go in this room for the next 4 hours and stare at the walls lined with every iteration, marketing idea ect. If I have stuff ready to go when an idea comes in my head, I have the energy to pump it out right now. Even if it is a bad prototype, it is a physical representation in the real world. Once I get to that part I can make a plan.
Presumably no actual babies are reading the article so I think it's quite clear what the author means.

Sure. Tip: if something's true by definition, it's usually not interesting. Substitute the appropriate phrase - "observation of a property which, in the static context, might constitute a typing judgement"? Note that we're here specifically considering things that can be typed statically, as outside of that setting there is no question of whether static and dynamic are opposed.

The rest of your comment seems concerned with the fact that the tagging infrastructure typically needed to check these properties at runtime can also be used for other purposes. That's true, but I don't see the relevance.
For me the deciding factor of how much honest feedback to provide in the exit interview is determined by who is interviewing me. If it is a routine step of the HR checklist, then most likely the feedback is not really going to have any impact and it is not worth the effort (and also potential risk, however small that may be) to provide detailed comments. However, if the exit interview is conducted by someone whom I trust and has potential pull within the leadership org (manager, manager’s manager, director, VP , etc.) then I am more than happy to give a detailed list of what’s good and what’s bad.
I have read "Eminent Victorians", but might I suggest that some of the people described there are best shown in "Tom Brown's Schooldays" and the "Flashman" novels? Novels always seem closer to history, somehow, and it's a shame that Fraser never worked the cardinal into his tapestry.
I got a 2020 SE and I like it a lot. It does everything I need a phone to do. I don't quite see the point of comparing it to a larger phone. If I'd _wanted_ a larger phone, I'd have gotten one. I didn't want that! Does Samsung even offer a smaller phone?

Also n=1, but a buddy of mine from the east coast lived in LA for 7 years, told me the people there were the most selfish and fake bunch he had ever met. He said he never made a real friend in the entire time he was there, and that was a major reason he moved back east. I think you just ran into a bunch of assholes.

I think for a lot of engineering jobs this is absolutely true. That said, it depends entirely on what your focus or what your industry is.

As an example, before I moved into software engineering, I worked in digital media. There are maybe 22,000 working journalists in digital media in the United States (and that's also allowing for employees at the larger national papers like WSJ, NYT, Washington Post, etc) -- give or take a couple of thousand. If you then factor in for location (say, New York City) and coverage area (say, technology), you're now down to a small enough number of people that you can and will realistically know someone at almost every single place you would be going for a job. You run into people at conferences. You see people at the same parties. You have mutual friends. It's small and incestuous. So in that case, telling HR or your editor how the company can go fuck itself is usually not a great idea. Because you'll wind up working with these people again someday.

Unless you're in a more specialized area or community, software is different because you have 8x employees at one FAANG than in some entire industries. So in that case, as you said, turnover can be so swift and the reference is usually "Bill worked here from X to Y and had the title of Z."

But if you ARE in a specialized area, social capital matters a lot (I frequently get pinged by people at companies I don't even work at, asking my thoughts on a particular person) and so that's one more reason NOT to do the exit interview, or to at least not tell the person where to shove it in that interview.
Nuclear power strike prices usually do include much of the long term costs, and money has to be committed into a trust (or some similar scheme) as part of getting approval in the first place.

And it would be more like Saudi Arabia claiming that oil only costs $100 per barrel because they don't need to pay for pollution remediation, healthcare costs, spill cleanup and their share of all climate change effects from the time they sold the oil until the time that oil's effects have been removed from the system. Which they don't.
The argument is a little ginned up to get attention, but the core point is real - there’s little upside to meaningful participation.

An HR survey is usually a waste of time that will be a distilled into some pie chart. Genial, politically content free yakking. A sit down with a VP can potentially be a useful thing for you.

If your position is to speak your truth or whatever, it’s likely better to find a reason to blow it off. I’ve done those as the VP guy, and when you let me know the CEO is a tool 6 different years, everything you say has a “crank” filter applied.
This goes back to assignment of conscripts in WW II. Since the end of the Cold War, spoilsports have noticed that one reason the old German army did so well was that they got a higher proportion of high-quality recruits than their UK or US counterparts. The US and UK needed navies to fight the war, and they also gave their air forces a higher priority for recruits relative to their armies.

> They’ve essentially composed an argument that makes it impossible for bird, or the city, to ever be at fault, irrespective of circumstance.

That's not true; California law has limits on indemnity agreements, most notably that they don't apply to wilfull misconduct (and, in some domains, also not to harms due to the sole negligence of the indemnified party, but it's not clear to me that any of those apply here.)

So there are clearly circumstances to which the chain indemnity here would not apply, if either the city or Bird had willful wrongdoing. The specific circumstances Peña alleges in this case don't meet that description, though.

They're also effectively out of reach of western regulatory reprisal.

If a Chinese company ships a batch of garbage electronics to western markets that lead to a string of house fires there's basically no chance that anyone will be held accountable for it; whereas, if a western company did the same they'd be far easier to hold accountable.

So Chinese producers can, and do, assemble and ship dangerously unsafe electronics in order to cut costs.
> I suspect that detecting defects from the RAM side is not trivial.

Factory testing or a basic self-test mode could easily find any parts that are flat-out broken. And as internal ECC rolls out as a standard feature, that could help find weaker rows over time.
