Yes possibly, but the whole point was for people to get more money into their pockets ASAP (as opposed of just a promise of more money in the future, which has lesser impact), so that they feel gratitude come elections day.
Everyone wants to get into the Air Force, so if you are applying to say subsidize your medical education, you’ll find that there aren’t many openings; so most people tend to opt for the Navy. The Army is the last choice for most people.
>Our ever-increasing population

Even the most optimistic projections put the world population peaking well before 2100. Growth has slowed considerably and will likely continue to slow even more as worldwide economic malaise puts further pressure on birth rates (especially since the developing world is urbanizing and urbanization is correlated with a decline in births per woman).
Thanks -- I just learned something new. Since matrices are primitive types in Fortran, I assume these kinds of optimizations are more abundant in Fortran. I wonder if adding matrices / vectors / tensors as primitive types has even been entertained by the various C++ committees.
That’s a fair point. But also, it may not be the right advice for 20-somethings who are already being too gentle with themselves, which is the audience I think the author is trying to reach.

Advice falls on a spectrum, and whether to follow it or not rests much on your present circumstances versus the advice giver’s.

All armies and troops should be abolished. We will look back with shame at our chimp ways.
Yeah this is an interesting outcome of the various contracts that were agreed to. I think the issue here is probably Bird's indemnification of the city for all suits related to the use of their scooters. The city should only have requested indemnification in the event the scooter was defective in some way, and Bird should not have agreed to indemnify the city so broadly. Likewise, the breadth of the user's indemnification of Bird might be unconscionable. Although in this case I would argue that it is leading to what appears to be the correct outcome, it's problematic as a general rule.
I have to disagree. At least in some very specific circumstances.

First a bit of context. In Germany, some companies have something called a works council. A body of employees that represents the interests of the workforce vis-à-vis the employer.

The works council has certain rights and is well protected against reprisals. And it is bound to confidentiality.

For works councils, exit interviews are a valuable way to learn about problems that have previously flown under the radar. And in most cases, the works council is interested in improving things.

In many cases, it has the means to do so. It may take some time, as everything does, but in my experience exit interviews can help.
I tried to learn Cython last year, but was thwarted by two issues: (1) its syntax was too ugly for my taste and support for the pure Python mode was immature; (2) performance bottlenecks were opaque and hard to profile (at least for beginners). I ended up picking up Nim, a language with Python-like syntax and C-like performance, and was productive within hours (literally). I never looked back.
> In some sense, labeling somebody a "crackpot" assigns a sort of malicious wrongness to them.

The naive enthusiasm, self directed exploration, and passion many of these crackpots have are winning traits in many pursuits. Just a bit of poor luck they picked an especially high wall to scale with theoretical physics.
I'm interested in what you're saying, I think, I wish it was clear and unambiguous so I could understand it.
Keep in mind that "avoidance" in this context refers to not confronting one's own feelings and intuition. After grappling with that feeling explicitly, avoiding overt conflict can certainly be an adult decision to make.

Way too dystopian, not all companies are like that.
As far as I know it is called reverse racism because they do not think it is possible to be racist towards white people so they qualify it with reverse to make it seem like it is not in fact racism. This why they are attempting to change the definition of racism to say you have to have power as well.

Many of the people who support this law do believe you need to be racist to fix past racism. Ibram X. Kendi, for example, said "The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination."

My question, however, was more about a slippery slope. Once you allow blatant discrimination like this in the law it is only a matter of time until it is used in a way you don't like. Some people think there are millions of white supremcists in the US. If that is the case and racial discrimination becomes legal, will these people still be in support of laws like this when they require whites to be hired? I would guess not.
I agree with the article. If you leave, feedback is not worth it. I always gave honest feedback at exit interviews and felt like shit for a while afterwards. And I don’t understand why companies are doing this, honestly. Take feedback from your employees and really listen! What is the gain to ask for feedback to someone leaving the company? Is it more honest? Then you have a cultural problem because it means your employees are afraid to give honest feedback.

I always have a desktop computer and mostly can only do real work on desktop (graphics/VR/game programmer). Laptops are nice for portability so I always try to have one or two available. Because of my role my jobs have always provided one in the office, but I keep a personal one for gaming and side projects/learning.
Again, it's not just malicious updates. Normal updates can also introduce security vulnerabilities. For example, I have a dependency at v1.0 and v1.0.1 introduces a security bug unintentionally. It is eventually fixed in v1.1. If I wait to update until v1.1, then I am not vulnerable to that bug whereas an automatic update to v1.0.1 would be vulnerable. My point is that in expectation, updating your dependency could be just as likely to remove a security vulnerability as it is to add one.
Hypothetically and assuming 1) at-will employment, 2) company policy requires exit interview and 3) they didn't care about the knowledge transfer, could the company then terminate you "for cause" because you refused to do the exit interview?
> Last I checked, the organization was still very much headed in the direction that I disagreed with.

This assumes that your opinion on direction is the right one, and that anyone or team that doesn't agree is wrong?
> Why is it difficult to see that an upside would be that the company makes a positive change and people other than yourself are benefitted?

This upside is dutifully noted in the beginning. It's just that the author considers it highly improbable, therefore greatly diminishing its averaged value, especially when compared with the possible downsides.

I am more ok with destroyed roads then with expansive war or atrocities and so on. Those cause way more harm. I not ok with racist education. By I am even more not ok with army being used for racist project - and that one causes more harm.

Also, by current legal standards, soldiers are supposed to refuse orders if those lead to genocide and such. It is so after Nuremberg after WWII.

I am very fine with the rare Russian soldier refusing to fight Ukraine. The one following orders when "filtering" or killing civilians should be prosecuted.

Docker founder launches Dagger, a new DevOps platform
At one of my last jobs at a big corp I was so surprised that when I quit there was no exit interview. It kinda made sense though, as I noticed there were no real incentives to improve things.
Backups? One advantage of the culled collection (with the pix also downscaled from the original resolution to 2500px on the longer edge) is that I can afford to keep it in quadruplicate. On the main machine, on the server that exposes it to the web (password protected), and on two portable hard disks, one of which is always kept offsite in alternation.
I don’t think Webpack’s obsolete, it’s just got a lot of competition these days, most of which is easier to use.

> Somehow I've never realized that row oriented storage is orthogonal to how disks work...

The section you posted is very misleading. Storage is arranged in blocks. The secret to database performance is how you lay out data in those blocks and how well your access patterns to the blocks match the capabilities of the device. This choice is the fundamental key to database performance.

If your database stores shopping baskets for an eCommerce site, you want each basket in the smallest number of blocks, ideally 1. It makes inserting, updating, and reading single baskets very fast on most modern storage devices.

If your database stores data for analytic queries, it's better (in general) to store each column as an array of values. That makes compression far better, and also makes scanning single columns very efficient.

To say as the article does that "row oriented is slavishly tied to design ideas of filing cabinets and manila folders" is nonsense. Plus there are many other choices about how to access data that include parallelization, alignment with processor caches, trading off memory vs. storage, whether you have a cost-base query optimizer, etc. Even within column stores there are big differences in performance because of these.

(Disclaimer: I work on ClickHouse and love analytic systems. They are great but not for everything.)
Yes, although in the 1970s it was PDP-10 Empire.
Obviously not? Just because France doesn't buy natural gas themselves, they import so much electricity based on natural gas from its neighbors. So they are defacto dependent on natural gas as they can't supply electricity enough with nuclear and are thus in such much much worse energy political situation as prices will continue to surge.
If it's a legitimate fear, it's not really compatible with "dinner party".

If it's just anxiety, then it's valid to feel but is not a valid reason for doing much of anything.
> HR is the subunit of the firm dedicated to minimizing risk and maximizing efficiency across the firm (and thus, independently of the specific business function of other units) in the extraction of surplus value from workers.

And the best, and certainly the cheapest, way to achieve that is by having happy employees in a healthy work environment. So in my experience, that's what HR tries to achieve.

I'm sorry your experience was different.

Ironically, that's not what Dunning-Kruger claimed, and the Dunning-Kruger research itself has been largely discredited. A better term might be the "Dunning-Kruger Effect effect" for how these accusations are slung around.

There are well-established guidelines for ethically testing and prescribing experimental drugs.

If the individuals who have been peddling ivermectin and vitamin cocktails had instead encouraged enrollment in randomized controlled trials overseen by Institutional Review Boards to protect the rights and safety of human subjects, we would have quickly generated high quality data to determine safety and efficacy of ivermectin for COVID.

The haphazard global distribution of ivermectin meant that no meaningful data could be generated to determine if it worked.

The rest of your comments are distracting "whataboutisms" but to clarify:

• Airplanes may have good air circulation while the plane is flying but prior to take off and in airports, air circulation isn't so good.

• People were buying horse dewormer based on false claims about ivermectin. This is fact.

• As we learned more about the virus (e.g. the frequency of spread by asymptomatic individuals) and as the virus mutated (e.g. to be more infectious and not as "on target" for the vaccines), recommendations have changed.
Preserving Sandia Labs' long history

I think, way way down, it highlights these metrics:

Deployment frequency: How often an organization deploys to production.

Lead time for change: The time it takes to get committed code to run in production.

Change failure rate: The percentage of production deployments leading to degraded service and remediation (e.g., rollback).

Time to restore service: How long it takes to fix a failure in production.
A lot of times it may be due to their experience with workstations. I didn’t really see a nice workstation until my first professional job at a newspaper. Before that it was all institutional grade Dells attached to budget peripherals. You could take a break after logging in while the computer got itself in a useable state. Their were some labs on campus that had better machines, but you generally had to have a reason to use them.

Meanwhile my core duo MacBook absolutely killed it.

Now, for personal use I’ve pretty much switched to a workstation that I built as a windows gaming machine, that accidentally works great as a coding and design machine as well.
>I accept there are legally recognized limits to free speech, but Oberlin is not doing any speaking, their students are.

This is factually incorrect, as per the above comment as well as other coverage of these events. Oberlin administrators, acting in an official capacity for the university, also made libelous statements towards the bakery. That's what they're being sued for, not the speech of their students.
I'm embarrassed to admit I still don't quite understand what a chiplet is, would be very grateful for your input here.

If a thread can run on multiple chiplets then this is awesome and seems like a solution.

If one thread == one chiplet, then*:

- a chiplet is equivalent to a core, except with speedier connections to other cores?

- this isn't a solution, we're 15 years into cores and single-threaded performance is still king. If separating work into separate threads was a solution, cores would work more or less just fine.**

* put "in my totally uneducated opinion, it seems like..." before each of these, internet doesn't communicate tone well and I'm definitely not trying to pass judgement here, I don't know what I'm talking about!

** generally, for consumer hardware and use cases, i.e. "I am buying a new laptop and I want it to go brrrr", all sorts of caveats there of course
Maybe it makes a difference how the company treats their employees?

Large organizations tend to become bureaucratic and very concerned with their downside, both as a group (human resources) and as individuals (managers). Often they don't treat employees as people, but rather as resources, as cogs in a machine.

Some companies are rather inhumane. I don't think there's anything wrong with analyzing the situation with this in mind.
At the risk of sounding heartless in situations with liability, I try to think of the long term consequence of a ruling indemnifying this driver.

Even if he hadn't had alcohol or tested positive for marijuana, he shouldn't win this. Because if he did win, then it means living in a nanny state à la Singapore, police officers need to make sure that he doesn't break the rule, trees need to be cut because they're a danger to society and are too unpredictable (reminds me of the Guangzhou officials who cut 130,000 banyan trees). This is not a world I want to live in. I want to live in a world where you can decide to take risks but the consequences of those risks are yours alone. If he decided to ride a bird and didn't take any precaution or wear helmet, it's his fault.

If however, he did this and caused an incident, it would also be his fault and peope impacted by the accident would be in their rights to sue him, since he is the one who took the risks.

<> According to Strauss, it was Octavian's reliance on Roman General Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, who successfully waged a naval campaign to cut off supply lines to Antony's army, giving Octavian the upper hand.

Agrippa is one of the most interesting people in history, and the Octavian/Agrippa collaboration has to be one of the most successful and fruitful ever.

Agrippa was not just an amazing naval commander, he also was great at organizing as well as an architect and builder.

Unlike a lot of other partnerships where jealousy rears its head once they have achieved success (see various bands for instance), there does not seem to be rivalry or jealousy between Octavian/Augustus and Agrippa. His entire life, Agrippa was Octavian's most trusted adviser and friend (and son-in-law).
> to not have to pony up according to the terms of their indemnification agreement with the city

I'm trying to wrap my head around this.
The city wants money from Bird to pay for defending the gentleman's lawsuit against the city.
Bird wants money from the gentleman since the lawsuit has to do with his scooter rental.
The gentleman wants out of his rental agreement so he isn't being billed for the lawsuit he brought against the city?

Even outside of being drunk and/or high and/or over the device weight limit and/or wearing a prohibited backpack and/or operating the device where it is not allowed, it sounds like he wants for everyone else in the city to compensate him for his misfortune? If he didn't get the sandwich shop job could he sue the city over that?
No, the facts are you dingleberrypicked, used a trope and complained about downvoting. You also think political discussions aren't allowed here, that the goal of 'curiosity' is more or less whatever you want, that downvoters owe you receipts, etc. You can literally find big dollops of moderator comments directly contradicting all of these - you simply happen to be wrong about these straightforward things. They aren't any less straightforward because you don't like them and you haven't even got around to acknowledging you are wrong about even the straightforwardest. Let's wrap up here.
If you have to wait for the exit interview to provide any meaningful feedback, you have to be naive to consider, it'd provide any benefit.
Similarly, I'm kinda looking at a Macbook Air and running Jetbrains Gateway to a big fileserver, as well as pushing a bunch of personal stuff off to my NAS as well. Remote desktop into a VM for casual browsing and doing my taxes and so on.

I could get old RDIMM/LRDIMM sticks (it's not widely known but some X99 boards support it) and a 1660v3 and be up and running with 8 cores at ~4 GHz for basically the cost of RAM, and that would probably be sufficient for my needs. And using RDIMM/LRDIMM would set up a migration path forward to Epyc eventually - Epyc is still Ryzen and still likes fast RAM, but those faster sticks are 3-4x the price per GB, so getting something running now with an upgrade path forward would be fine.

Everyone's experience changes when a company begins to consider ad revenue.

How those changes shake out is hard to predict. It's not a stretch to suggest that even little things change for everyone though. Adding ad revenue changes how a company thinks about nearly everything, whether they're aware of it or not, and ultimately the end user suffers.

For example, Netflix would likely start trying to tweak content discovery in a way that benefits advertisers. Rather than show me content that matches my historical interests, they show me content that optimizes ad revenue as well. It's unlikely they'd maintain two different "ad-free" and "ad-full" recommendation algorithms.

Motivated by pressure from advertisers, Netflix might be less inclined to produce or provide content that made advertisers uncomfortable or benefitted an advertiser's competitors.

When producing content, they now have two bosses: subscribers, and advertisers. Both have entirely different expectations. Those expectations push Netflix into making compromises, and rarely do those compromises produce outcomes that are better than if they only focused on making one side happy.
I know it is tiring to see this comment. But, the cost of nuclear power quoted everywhere does NOT include the cost of safely handling the waste from it for hundreds of years right?
Until it is included it is like Saudi Arabia claiming that oil is the best thing in the world because it costs €1/barrel because they only need to factor the cost of digging for it.
