Humility before the truth is vital but not necessarily humility as expressed in one's public statements.

Indeed psychoticism was identified by the psychologist Hans Eysenck as one of the traits of genius, including scientific genius. Psychoticism is a package which includes associative thinking, creativity, disagreeableness, lack of empathy, antisocial nature, introversion, coldness, aggression, high self-esteem.

The problem is that most people are afraid of giving offence, of being ostracised by their colleagues and so on, and so they self-censor their original thoughts and never create anything fundamentally new and important.

So it's unsurprising that most of the great scientists in history had very difficult personalities (Faraday may have been an exception). I think the optimal approach is to study and benefit from the work of geniuses but have as little to do with them personally as possible. Leave them alone to their work.

Of course the fact that someone has a difficult personality does not mean he is a great thinker. However science has a mechanism for dealing with that via the publication system, where ideas that are wrong are eventually criticised and ultimately forgotten.
There isn't really any value in doing that kind of stuff honestly unless you just like really boring and annoying work. Like, if you are designing your own ISA, you can punt that down to basically the end of the line, because all the actual important stuff comes first.

There's a kind of great irony to compiler work like this where you need some outside thing to drive the design, but if the design being driven ultimately isn't very bespoke, you eventually realize everyone else has done all the work already so everything you have to do is boring (e.g. wire up a new ABI to some existing codegen... how riveting...) Alternatively you have something unique, and find out the compiler is actually the hard part of the whole problem, because now you're on your own.

If you want a tool for early programming your own ISA I recommend using Lisp or something else as a macro assembler to exercise the system. If you simply insist on arbitrary C code, something like WebAssembly might actually be better than patching some random 3rd party code generator (i.e. just write a simple one-shot one-pass compiler that does no advanced regalloc or optimization and just turns it into a binary. This is relatively easy and does not require advanced algorithms and there are already a bunch of WASM compilers available.)
It's more complex than that. Poor people spend very differently than rich people. So assuming you just taxed everybody who was 'rich' (define any way you want) to a level where you could fund UBI, then there would be no new money being introduced in the system. However what that money gets used for will change drastically. The 'rich' people would have used that extra money to either buy luxury goods or for saving/investing, the 'poor' people will mostly use that money to pay for food and housing. This change of can have effects on prices even without increasing the money supply.
Well we did switch to a political party that was somewhat sceptical when it came to the environment in 2010.

I suspect that now we have issues with energy costs, dealing with dodgy political regimes and climate change even the Conservatives will accept the need to change.
Which skills specifically do you think we might be missing that we would need to run an app on a managed container service and managed database?

I know how to configure firewalls, set up a (managed) load balancer, manage DNS, and similar tasks directly related to getting traffic to my app.

What I no longer have to know how to do: keep track of drive space, manage database backups, install security updates on a production server without downtime, rotate SSH keys, and a whole bunch of other tasks adjacent to the app but not actually visible to incoming traffic at all.

These days hearing something called liberal globalist sounds like an endorsement to me. Not that I consider myself a liberal globalist but I usually find my opinions to be opposite of those who use that term.
A fairly significant part of the Arab world would likely have a problem with Al Jazeera (funded by the Qatar state) being named as their sole newspaper of record.
Hum, yeah, if you want to use that word that way, it will mean that.

Still, a lot of people share some culture due to their whatever ... well, if you took the word, you create some other one to fit here... they share with a celebrity. That makes those people related ... but well, I guess "related" is forbidden too... and capable of a different kind of empathy and communication. That phenomenon exists, whatever you decide to call it.
I'd throw in stability, IAM, storage and the management plane.

> While I disagree with your argument about game engines being bad for games

Why? How are they good for games?

My argument is that 'games' are stagnant, boring nonsense, unless you want interactive movies. What counterpoints do you think you have?
It doesn't. They might do that during an IRAN (Inspect and Repair As Necessary) which is essentially a full engine teardown, easily 5 figures. Certainly not done every 200 hours.

Maybe it's a conflation of many piston aircraft engine manufacturers' recommendation for a TBO (time between overhauls), which is often around 2000 hours. This is essentially a full rebuild of the engine. However, in many cases it's not regulatory and more of a suggestion (there are exceptions, like certain commercial use of the aircraft).
Why the assumption that it's for an American audience? It's probably more for a boarder European market, rather than Americans. The great thing about the French, British, Germans, Italians, Spanish, Polish, etc, is that most of them understand English. This way they don't have to translate it into several languages, when just one will suffice.
What I've done is pin my app versions at the last release before GTK4, that seems to do the trick for now (especially since I have yet to encounter a GTK4 app that updated functionality over it's predecessor).
They likely missed a 0. Even still, the 2000-hour TBO on most engines is only a recommendation for non-commercial operators.
Apple Music could lack 90% of Spotify’s features, but Spotify will never get me back to their awful desktop UI. It looks like it’s made for toddlers. Full screen on an artist page I don’t even see 5 songs because they have this stupid big banner section taking up 2/3 of the screen. Throw in their spamming of podcasts to me and the whole desktop experience is a mess. Apple Music has its issues but at least the UI is kind of ok. That’s how low Spotify has set the bar which is a shame because their UI was great for about a decade and then they just set it on fire.
Not sure why you're assuming Americans are the market.

It just seems in keeping with other European press organizations like Deutsche Welle, BBC, (or, ugh, RT) etc. that offer an internationally focused version of their brand which also happens to be in English... because most of the world speaks that.

(I very much enjoy Deutsche Welle's content, myself. But could be because I'm a bit of a Deutsch-o-phile on account of my father being a German immigrant to Canada)

I can't really speak for the Plex developers. But as an ecommerce developer myself, I feel confident that the answer is that best practice is always to make the default settings the configuration that maximizes security protections. If you, the user, want to back that off trading security to get more convenience, fine, but it's on you, not on me.
These adjectives are wrong, mediapart has done really useful investigations and have a good reputation. I’m not reading their work everyday, I prefer LeMonde which has a lot more interesting articles to me.

Darknet Hydra Market site seized and shut down
Yes. I built an entire new platform on Google Cloud using Kubernetes (GKE). We moved from AWS.

It was a chance to re-architect the platform, make things simpler and cost effective. Huge success on all of those. Costs were reduced by millions a year.

Other than GKE, there was not a significant technology reason to move to Google Cloud. AWS didn't even have a managed version of Kubernetes at the time.
Yes. We migrated from Rackspace to GCP. When I joined the company, it was clear Rackspace was loosing the cloud race, but back in 2012/2013 it was a strong contender.

Sometimes one adopts a technology too early...

We had a longer selection process between AWS, GCP and Azure. AWS was difficult because some of our customers see Amazon as a competitor. However today we also offer the option to run on AWS. GCP won over Azure.
Absolutely but most of the knowledge translates, it's the procedures that differ.
> You can't be a neoliberal if you were publishing from the same viewpoint in 1843, they're classically liberal and helped define what that even means.

That seems like a distinction without a difference. Isn't neoliberalism just liberalism, but willfully ignoring all or most of the problems that led to it going out of fashion the first time?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoliberalism:

> Neoliberalism, or neo-liberalism,[1] is a term used to describe the 20th-century resurgence of 19th-century ideas associated with free-market capitalism.

Also:

> In 1938 at the Colloque Walter Lippmann, the term neoliberalism was proposed ... ultimately chosen to be used to describe a certain set of economic beliefs.... According to attendees Louis Rougier and Friedrich Hayek, the competition of neoliberalism would establish an elite structure of successful individuals that would assume power in society, with these elites replacing the existing representative democracy acting on the behalf of the majority.

Oof.

Objective-C and Cocoa for Windows dates back to the NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP/Rhapsody days, but yes it’s true. Safari for Windows also utilized this, perhaps to a greater extent, because its UI looked significantly more like its Mac counterpart than iTunes did, to the point that even the text rendering was the same between Windows and OS X.
>X resources don't have good answers if you want the same program set up in a few different ways (several setups of xterm, for example)

This isn't true. Let's go with the example program provided. XTerm supports the -name flag, which will make it respond to existing resources using that name in the resource database.

.Xresources:

customxterm1*some*resource: colorhere

customxterm1*another*resource: fonthere

customxterm2*some*resource: colorhere

customxterm2*another*resource: fonthere

Then you can launch xterm with "xterm -name customxterm1" and it'll pick up the resources.

It's a bizarre thought that the only way for society not to spiral into inflation requires that the poor not be able to purchase the good and service that fulfill their basic needs. Not just be handed the money through UBI as that would cause inflation, but even gain it through jobs - either way it would increase those basic need demands.

I like writing about science and math, but also some personal stuff too from time to time.
I've had this conversation with a number of financial-savvy friends. It seems that we all have different methods depending on what you're after.

For myself - I hate spreadsheets and updating and categorising data.
I have also tried a number of tools that will "attempt" to automagically present useful reports. But I've found that in 90% of cases - I'm well aware of what I spend on and how much I spend.

The data that really interests me personally is - savings, pensions, asset wroth tracking and scenario simulation.
I find that looking at growth over the past 3,6,12 months motivates me to do even better or look for more efficient ways of organising my finances.

At the moment here's what I do:

- Following a guide like (UK Personal Investing Flowchart)[https://ukpersonal.finance/flowchart/] to judge where I am at and what my short/long term goals are.

- I have automated transfers at salary date (T+3 days to account for variations) to investments and savings.

- I do a monthly scan through of current and credit accounts to make sure nothing unusual occurs as well as monthly credit-rating check.

- For crypto investments I use (Delta)[https://delta.app/en]

- For Stocks and Shares I track current positions via Yahoo Finance.

- Lastly - every now and then I check-in to see how my Pension accounts are doing. So far I've gone through 4 different pension providers and tools - but none of them see to have good forecasting, scenario tools.

As a side topic recently got shown (Casual)[https://causal.app/] by a friend - I've been contemplating giving it a try.
Yep. Perhaps what I should have written is that much our knowledge is tacit in nature. We implicitly understand that things we can sense are limited projections of the real world and are able to derive mental model of what that reality might be more or less. Chomsky also talks about this notion of separating mind and body as an incorrect approach to understanding human intelligence which I think aligns with your view.

The notion that 'all we need is data and data is all there is' seems to summarize a lot of ML sentiments.
Why didn't they just put the metadata at the end so it could expand or contract?

Lol, welcome to science. If you really think the head author of a paper did the work, or that any of the authors did the majority of the work, or that the authors collectively did the majority of the work, or that who did the work is also mentioned as an author - you're in for a huge surprise.
Relatedly, when checking for a related comment, I wanted to see what the current state of deep fakes progress was, so I went to the usual place where the bleeding edge for such things could be found.

First video clips were with the faces of your usual celebrities, but then suddenly I got "treated" to Greta Thunberg in the situations you might expect. I cut my exploration short.

Now, Greta Thunberg is actually 19 now (how time flies !), except that deep fake was most likely trained on her media appearances, which started when she was 15 !

(I guess at least that she wasn't a child any more, which might explain why those clips had not been almost immediately flagged and removed ?)
The GAO is probably one of the best parts of the government, yet it's effective is limited.

I'd like to say this type of stupidity in the government surprises me. But let's face it, even investigations into real scandals (that result in deaths no less) go nowhere (looking at you ATF Fast and Furious). Agencies constantly ignore and misapply laws/regulations as long as it benefits their goals or political agenda.

> they try to put their egos to the side to better communicate their ideas

Could this be a function of the eras' SNRs? When the principal mode of public and scientific discourse was curated print media and letters, one needed only so much pomp to decide you could deduce something grand about the world, and then upon having deduced it, convince your peers that you had in fact done so. In our modern era, to attract people and funding and attention, something more extreme may be needed. (Very, very loose hypothesis. It's probably just a personality thing.)
I meant that it’s all pretty trivial business, focusing on the technicalities of what oracle is used in what security experiment.

Russia is transcontinental, not simply European.

Novaya Gazeta Europe is clearly based in Europe and specifically _not_ in Russia; this is the whole point of their endeavour.

More to the point, it must also have been established in the European Union, because it has a .eu domain name, and you need to be an entity in an EU state to create one of those.

What consequences should they face? They are democratically elected. If the handling was indeed as terrible as you suggest I am sure they'll face the consequences in the next election.
But everyone won't immediately demand $1000 more food or housing. Sure I'd buy 1000 slim jims the minute I got the check, but other people may find that ridiculous. Many people will save it, or spend it on something else. Everyone who has their cost of living already accounted for won't participate in this.
But the author did mention that, albeit not with the level of detail you do...

(X resources can sort of be used to provide different options for different invocations of the same program, but how to do it isn't necessarily obvious, it requires additional command line options to the program, and even programs that use X resources don't always support it.)
Writing exercises is hard. This might sound like a cop out, but I'm my latest book, Effective Pandas, most of the exercises are phrased like this:

Using a dataset of your choice [apply some principle from the chapter].

For example it might say find the missing values, plot a bar chart, etc.

I'm a firm believer that you learn more when you act, and you act better when you use a dataset that interests you.

The funny part is that I keep getting people all me for the solutions to the exercises...
I played 40 or so hours of the Witness, I think it’s one of the most beautiful and beautifully rendered video game environments, but as a whole found the message of the game to be unconvincing and juvenile. It tries to be deep but in the end the message seems to be, simply, “there are many ways of looking at things, but only one of those ways is right”. I got more joy out of Manifold Garden in less time, and found the puzzles in Stephen’s Sausage Roll more intriguing. The Witness has a lot of puzzles in the way that a sudoku book has a lot of puzzles. At some point, the stateless constraint-fitting puzzles of line-drawing started to feel like a chore. I loved the environments so kept playing, but didn’t actually enjoy the majority of the puzzles.
