I kind of have a timer in my head. Or a sense of restlessness after a while - a sense that "this is taking too long for what it's worth". When that timer/alarm/restlessness/whatever triggers, I know it's time to try another approach. If it's a meeting, it's time to try to get everyone back on track. If it's a problem I'm trying to solve, it's time to question my approach or ask for help.

No, I can't tell you how I developed this. I had it at least by the time I was in university. (It came in really handy during tests - it kept me from wasting too much time on a wrong approach to a problem.) So, unfortunately, I can't give you any actionable advice. (Unless you get that feeling also, in which case the advice is, when it triggers, don't ignore it.)
This looks fun, but I want to walk you through what I did when I saw the page. I started clicking on circles thinking I could move them by clicking. I saw the key commands, but thought, "No, I'd rather use the mouse. I'm not one of these power users that uses the keyboard for everything." But I couldn't click and drag. I could only click to select and then nothing would happen. You should make it more clear that the user needs to use the keyboard for anything to happen. Either that or ignore the mouse so the user says to themself, "Oh, this only works with the keyboard." As it is now, it's just really really confusing to a new user who isn't obsessed with always using the keyboard.

That's it really. I mean regardless of which side (if any) you take on Ukraine war...there's a growing feeling that this is the beginning of next world war. And in light of this things seem kinda of pointless you know.

What do you think? How do you cope?

PS: pls don't make this into another warzone. The question is just the last one really. How do you cope if you have this view on things.

>I don't understand people's aversion to landfills. Perhaps it's because people intuitively understand that dumping garbage is not sustainable indefinitely, i.e. Earth will eventually run out of room. However, there is currently plenty of space for landfills.

That's exactly it. It's the whole reason why there was a huge recycling push in the 80s/90s.

>GONZALEZ: There were all these stats coming out at the time that showed that the number of landfills in America was plummeting. Landfills were closing, and people kept citing these stats in stories about the garbage barge.

>KINNAMAN: And so people put it all together, and in their minds, the conclusion was that the United States is running out of landfill space. The United States was full - that we couldn't store any more.

Developer salaries are very bimodal (or even trimodal). Working for a contractor pays like shit, and pre-COVID many non-coastal locations were also significantly worse than average. That group is just trying to churn out contracts at minimum-cost and that means squeezing wages too, generally they're not willing to go up, they'll take what they can get at fixed costs and modulate the work they take on to match staffing. It was usually $50-60k 10 years ago and $75k ish territory nowadays I think. And sure after 5-10 years you might be making closer to $80k or $90k but that's still under-market for basically a senior dev.

Then you've got "market-competitive" wages that actually needs to get stuff done on a fixed timeline and are willing to pay to get the staffing to do it, deliberately, rather than just letting people fall into it. And finally the FAANG club and lead/architect tier positions, paying the most for top talent, with the latter two cohorts being smaller.

Think about the stuff that everyone was trying to offshore to india 10-20 years ago and that's the cheap tier. And there's a lot of it.

When I was poking around after my bachelor's, IBM Global Services was hiring around $50-55k in my area for java developers.

> cram anything into a 6502

I noticed some people working on an LLVM backend for the 6502; I may revisit the C-64 target once that matures (it will generate better code than cc65, and I'm now relying on modern C features that cc65 doesn't support). I currently concentrate on getting LilyVM to do anything useful for me on modern systems. (I've got some more work that I haven't pushed yet; but I mainly need to finally start working on the compiler to bytecode, which is a larger can of worms than the VM. I might first re-implement Copycat on it.)

Sure, but I think this is not the shape of situation people are generally facing when we say "you're not Google". E.g., often you see choices between NoSQL-esque solutions like BigTable, Dynamo, etc. and traditional relational DBs.
A similar striking phenomena happened when I shaved my head instead of haircuts.

I was immediately very aware of every slight motion of air even in what seemed like still rooms, or generated by my motion, not even walking. It was like I had a new sensor upgrade. Almost more interesting is that it did not fade or degrade over the months that I kept that (non-)hairstyle.

Godaddy does keystroke logging (it's their web page, why not).

Without your actually clicking "buy" Godaddy knows your domain.

Try it! Using a throwaway email, fill in the Godaddy form with a novel domain name, email contact, etc, but don't click on any "next" or "buy" or even "search" buttons.

Sit back and wait. The spam will start to arrive. The spam will be web and SEO and logo and app developers.

They are "affiliates" and they pay Godaddy for details of new DNS domains. They don't pay much perhaps, but they are getting first-hand info of your DNS ideas.

That's where the front-runners get the info; domain-squatting is free so it's free money to them.

These missiles mimic the radar signature of a full sized plane. They’re extremely expensive, but can absolutely be used to force the SAMs to expend their missiles.

I’m thinking of something a few orders of magnitude cheaper. Flight need not cost millions. Airfoils used for human powered flight produce planes weighing 300lbs, powered with only 300 watts. Scale this up to a 3000lbs flying bomb, using 3kw, or less than 5HP. Let it slog along at 40km/h, and in an 8 hour transit, they’ve covered over 300km. If electric, that requires just 24kwh of batteries, contained in 5 Tesla battery modules at 55lbs each, for 275lbs of batteries. Each module is around $1500 used, so $7500 in batteries. Foam and plastic wrapped wings with aluminum spars could be constructed for a few thousand dollars at scale. Add in the Mark 84 payload at $3k, and a navigation system for <$1000. Total could be well under $20k. Launched in a wave of 1000, flying at night, tens of meters off the ground to avoid radar, rising to maximum altitude prior to getting within AA range, roughly an hour before destination, this $20M swarm of 1000 2000lbs bombs needs to be neutralized by the enemy. They can only use their S-300/S-400s. Each cruise missile would be capable of taking out any ship in the Russian Black Sea fleet. Sevestapol would be a indefensible against nightly attacks launched from just 300km away in Odessa. Even Russia would eventually run out of S-300 missiles. Probably in the first night. Target the launch points? Where? Anywhere within a 300km radius? The day before, drones could fly themselves (unarmed) to 100 different preset locations within this 300km radius, met by small teams with generators to recharge the batteries. 100 teams, each charging 10 drones. Would be hard to locate and destroy the launch points.

No - that's why I said probably. If you are growing at 60%, have access to good talent, funding, and can stay a private company for a 1-2 more years if you need to - then the rational approach is push all your dollars in growing/creating moats. I expect them to be slightly unprofitable, but who knows :)
I’ve used Notepad++ with Wine on Linux. It works fine. The only problem is it doesn’t handle high DPI monitor very well so the UI font is really small. It might be a problem with Wine.

Also the directory navigation in the file dialog is clunky. The directory places are windows based rather than Linux based.

Being born in 1967, WWIII seemed potentially imminent for the first 20 years of my life. There's wasn't particularly a solution, you just go on anyway.

If you're the leader of Russia, you have a good way of preventing this. If you're not, it's out of your control, so just focus on the things you can control.
But happy to turn a blind eye (for a long time, at least) even if it's poisoning people.

There are many situations where the government isn't managing work well but because that fiscally helps the contractor, the contractor works - hard - to keep the status quo in place. That is to the detriment of all of the other companies that could do it more efficiently.

This is also why we need strong technologists in government to ensure the contracts are written correctly from the start.

> You know, like pretty much every operating system except linux on arm.

Android is Linux on ARM but it also abstracts the hardware platform from the OS & apps, that's the whole "Project Treble" thing Google was talking about a few years back. https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/05/here-comes...

But that's the easy non-answer. Abstractions can't add features. Like Windows 11 dropped support for old hardware not because the right abstractions weren't in place, but because you can't add things like a TPM in software. It needs full stack support. Similarly if it turns out a device driver had a bug in its implementation of the interface, you're kinda stuck with that. And the workaround may or may not be reasonable to put up with, if a workaround exists at all.

Hi! This is very much not the place for this question. However you are young and life is complicated so I will try to answer it anyway:

You should try your best to put this girl out of your head. No good can come of "confessing". Relationships must be built one step at a time - you cannot go from never having spoken, to declarations of love. Imagine how you would feel if a random girl from your school who you'd never even spoken to messaged you out of the blue saying she loved you. You would be freaked out! Your "craving" will not be satisfied and it will be unpleasant for both of you. I know how overpowering teenage feelings can be - you must resist! You do not 'love' her - you don't even really know what kind of person she is!

I am afraid that you have missed your chance with her. But do not despair; she was never for you. You are entering a new phase of life - you are going on an exciting adventure in another country, where you will meet many smart and interesting people at university, learn many new and important things about the world, and get lots of practice talking to people and coming out of your shell. You will probably look back on this and smile.

Good luck!
I agree with adding the "more extreme" part, but I'm not so sure about the infinite number of times part. Certainly, the p-value is (roughly speaking) the probability of seeing a result at least as extreme as the observed result, under the null hypothesis. But one doesn't really need to introduce hypothetical infinite sequences of replications to make sense of that definition.

I don't think that's what is being said here. Sex is better when it's free, because then it's likely enriched with some kind of emotional bond (even if not love), whereas in case of paid sex you're just getting a service. Regardless of what the N++ developer(s) think, the statement doesn't criticize prostitution.

Our website does make it seem to some folks like your camera would always be on, but that’s emphatically not the case. (We need to fix this on our site.)

The only things we show when you’re not in a call is online/offline status. You can then opt in to sharing your calendar and whether you’re in a Zoom/Meet call. We chose those status automations because they’re things you can find on your coworker’s shared calendar anyways.

Suggestions for how to clarify on the site are welcome.
That sounds interesting, thanks! Will look into it.

Good q. Personally I had to redefine bikeshedding as it appeared in different contexts, as part of a lessons-learned approach to wrapping up work days spent with projects.

For example, I found that some of the bikeshedding was a healthy and fun mental exploration, a very zen use of natural gifts that take very little energy and are more like meditation. So I was more hands-off about it being an issue when that was the case, and instead tried to capture more of the value from what I had done, so I could reuse or leverage it in the future.

In other cases the lack of a useful framework for getting up to speed is a really beautiful setup for the more frustrating form of bikeshedding. I had this happen once with contracts, because a client changed their scheme for coming to contract. God the amount of stuff I learned about LibreOffice while spinning my tires in the mud! In that case I developed a completely speculative framework for navigating contracting method changes, after all was said and done. It helped a lot later.

Prioritization is also more variable or modular to me now. I prioritize most often depending on ease of access to tasks, rather than importance.

Good luck, I hope some of this helps.
Bold of you to assume that the previous state of my code was valid!
Yes it totally is.

PCs are the proof that manufacturers don’t have to push security updates for decades. But in the phone world, they would have to because they don’t want to open the platform. So the user is dependent on the manufacturer for updates. But it don’t have to be like that.
I read this as 30 pilots over all time, $300 million a year.
By design, a 747 pilot is a glorified bus driver that flys in a fairly straight path. Nobody talks about quick thinking until they do. Captain Sully ring any bells? That wasn't a 30k feet either. When an airliner has something go wrong, it's hundreds of people that are affected and will always make the news.

By design, a fighter pilot does a heck of a lot more than a airline pilot. When a pilot does something wrong, we rarely hear about it.

Comparing them in this manner is just disenginuous.
What's the sensible resolver?
It's also very easy to re-season a cast iron pan if you do happen to screw it up somehow (and like you said, it's difficult to really screw it up in the first place). Oil the pan and stick it in the oven on 450 for a few hours. Re-patina'd!
Is this a real problem? The hiring market for engineers is really hot, and if anything tech really over-indexes on technical/coding interview questions and under-indexes on past experience and having a formal degree. If you can reliably solve medium Leetcode problems you can easily get a junior developer job at all sorts of companies (and hard Leetcode problems will get you a job at FAANG) without any past experience.

I think the much more common problem for new folks trying to break into software engineering is "not very good at coding yet, can't get a job". Not sure if Digital Corps is optimizing for these people but they really should be (given that they can't compete with the private market on comp).
Pretty darn impressive. Those "hooves" are probably going to feature in my nightmares though.
By asking 'what are the benefits' you're assuming someone is pitching this as a replacement/improvement on Vim.

Where did you get that impression?
I hear you on the AI vs ML thing. I doubt the debate will ever be resolved, but the domain name is .ai so I went with that.

The reason to use a full machine learning model instead of a simple statistical model is three-fold:

1) The framework supports any arbitrary JSON encodable data structure as a variant, this includes nested dictionaries, lists, etc. A full ML model allows capturing the entire complexity of the data stored in the variant - numbers, strings, booleans, etc and those can even be changed and the model will still be able to predict performance.

2) A full ML model allows generalization across complex variants. So if later on you introduce new variants, it may already be imply some things about how that variant will perform. For the most part simple statistical models must learn each variant from scratch.

3) The models don't just seek to make decisions that are a global optimum, like you would do with A/B testing. They are seeking to find a contextual optimum given the current conditions. This type of modeling also requires the generalization that ML gives you.
The main thing to be aware of with Bazel is its sandboxing philosophy. Instead of using the files in place, it basically creates a copy of the relevant file structure for any given build (i.e. minus the files that might exist on a given folder but be irrelevant for a build). Because of this, it generally requires strict hermeticity guarantees from everything you're doing, so many things have to be done in a "Bazel way" (i.e. there are specific ways in which you're supposed to download dependencies and there are restrictions in terms of file creation in e.g. tests that might deal w/ I/O)

The way that Bazel approaches flexibility is by being programmable (via a Python-like language called Starlark). There are open source rulesets for various languages that you can use to get off the ground faster, but they are usually fairly opinionated, so if you want to deviate from the happy path, you're going to hit face first into a fairly steep learning curve about depsets, graphs, file/symlink permissions and the like.

Another "weakness" of Bazel is that it's not aware of ultra granular file-to-file dependencies out of the box (e.g. how Golang imports work vs Java's), so either you have to manage dependency graphs manually or you invest in wrapper tooling like gazelle to automate some of the BUILD file generation for you.
