Implemented correctly, a carbon credit market ought to be putting economic pressure on everyone to use power more efficiently, or to switch to renewables. It's supposed to be the market-based conservative approach to regulating externalities in a commons—allow companies to do what they like, but make them pay for it, while encouraging others who can cut back or switch to do so in order to sell credits on the market, or at least to stop paying for their own.

Doesn't mean a particular implementation of it will be any good, but the idea is sound.
Grim Fandango is, to me, the defining example of these games, just exceptionally well done.

Yeah... no. This is basically a non-starter. You are hoping to solve a social problem with technology. And all evidence is pointing that things are getting more and more expansive, not less.

Specifically, we had perfectly capability based devices for a long time. VCRs, TVs, game consoles, mp3 players, etc. I see no reason to think a larger convergence isn't on the way. I think we /may/ see some advance to protect account access. But, I just can't buy that it will be groundbreaking anytime soon. At least, no better than the yubikey access I already have setup.

Well, if the business model is reselling FAANG talent at a discount to FAANG prices, this can and should happen. If you’re reselling FAANG talent you should be doing it at a premium to FAANG prices.
Marijuana is a Schedule 1 drug at the Federal level. What is your confusion?
I work at a related office mentioned in this thread (but am posting personally here):

You're 100% right about all of these, and I would emphasize that *the tech is not the hard part.* I would challenge you a little bit about something 10x greater being "beyond objectionable" - a benefit to users may not align with the incentives you named. For example, there's public evidence that some state governments deliberately made benefits harder to access to help even their budgets.
The max GS15 salary is like $175k and there’s lots of government benefits. Max GS14 is $150. Max GS13 is $125.

And there’s lots of benefits (23 paid days off, 13 sick every year), pension, etc etc.

This won’t compete with FAANG or with HCO, but in most areas of the country (or full remote) this is fine for a programmer’s pay.

I hear the complaint that fed doesn’t pay for tech and I think that’s not true.

The BLS has median programmer pay $90k in 2020 [0] so government pay is certainly competitive. This is median too, while the lowest possible GS13 pay is $100k.

Looking at it, I suspect a lot would depend on the specific team/manager's expectations. The basic idea of "there's a fluid always-going video call that you can drop into whenever you want" isn't awful, and I can see how it's a reaction to not having a shared office space. But if people hassle you about not having your video always turned on, that'd be a problem...
If biological evolution wasn't much better than brute force we would not be here. There is no way you could randomly generate a functional genome for anything non-trivial in any reasonable multiple of the age of the universe even if you had a trillion Earths to work with.

But ... GAs are not biological evolution. I think the real issue is that present day GAs only approximate some aspects of biological evolution, but they're very "chunky" in the same way that primitive neural network models are. They get generation and selection but actual biological evolution involves much deeper processes than that. Evolutionary theory is rich and quite fascinating.

Why is catcalling offensive but flirting welcome?
There's noting exceptional about the example really; the inner * is a cast to string (or char pointer), and the outer is a de-reference to set the value at the specified address (which for unknown reasons is 1 byte before hash_ptr.parm.v.p) to whatever fpop(sst) returns.

Writing interpreters in C is a solid path to really learning the language from my experience, but jumping head first into a code base like that without knowing C is a recipe for frustration and suffering.

My toy projects I include the IP address in the JWT payload, so JWT is only good for that IP. I don't always see that in examples. Not sure any downsides of that
(if client is rotating IPs or VPN I may be blocking them anyway). But seems consistent with cookie concept that a login is only good on that device.

I think its a debate. I like to keep the db clean of sessions but easy enough to keep in server memory if I down the server I don't mind making people login again.
Not really fair to compare the dev experiences _for macOS development_ across VSCode and XCode. I wouldn't recommend using VSCode for Cocoa/UIKit/SwiftUI dev.

I'll say that working on TS/React in VSCode is head and shoulders above Swift in XCode from a DX perspective. I had to routinely restart XCode to verify that type errors were actually there, it was incredibly slow, and the Swift compiler would give up on highly polymorphic types and red line them.

The primary difference is that in Nix it's fairly easy to wrap arbitrary build systems, so you can inject third-party dependencies into your codebase without vendoring and adapting their build system (plus, through nixpkgs[0], the majority of all relevant software has already been wrapped).

In Bazel you have to do a lot of that work yourself. Google has essentially ~unlimited manpower to do this for the things in their third_party tree, but for any other size of organisation this is not the case and people resort to all sorts of ugly hacks.

Depending on your needs these different types of projects can also coexist with each other in Nix. To use an example from my work, we have a Nix-native build system for Go[1] and code using this[2] co-exists with code that just uses the standard Go build system[3]. Both methods end up being addressable on the same abstraction level, meaning that they both turn into equivalent build targets (you can see both in a full build[4] of our repo).

And for what it's worth, some of the things Bazel gets extremely right (such as having a straightforward mapping from code location to build target, universal build command) are pretty easy to do in Nix (see readTree[5], magrathea[6]).

Public sector IT was an extremely frustrating experience for me.

- incompetent administration (org flow chart, constantly changing paradigms, misnomers ("open source" == we tape together stuff from public git-repositories, push nothing upstream, and outsource lots of core development))

- administration's priorities change with every election (project funding as a flag in the wind depending on current political climate)

- red tape everywhere

- bureaucrats everywhere

- the whole job-stack attracted incompetent people, the kind that values stability over deep understanding and progress. the kind where I thought "man, good that they are working here in [$current_politically_opportune_project] so they can't do actual damage somewhere else". this applied for the business administrators, the project managers, the "developers", the admins, even a large part of the contractors.

- "you're working too fast! haven't been here for long, eh?"

- compliance > security

Never, ever ever ever again. Granted, this was in Europe, maybe the US sucks less in the public sector. I would bet a good amount of money that there is a large intersection of problem spaces among the regions though.

Yes! Was going to suggest much the same: crank up the warnings and treat them as errors!
Or just bite the bullet and use win32/COM, because its basically the API under all these newer APIs anyway, and in the cases its not there is a compatibility shim.

Of course this doesn't stop MS from simply removing functionality, like they have been doing for the past 10 years. Explorer has a fraction of the API surface it had in the past, as do large parts of the OS. Like for example the color APIs which used to describe every little part of the UI so it could be tweaked are now basically gone.
My understanding is that if the SoC drivers would be upstreamed, the cost would be negligible.

GAs follow gradients too. It's a different learning approach. All learning follows gradients in one form or another except brute force search, which is not feasible for anything larger than about 2^80 bits of state space. Evolution is not brute force.

Ah, the language on the descriptions back when I was looking at it made it seem like you had to leave when it was up, and didn't make it look like transferring was a possibility (wouldn't you take a big cut, moving somewhere else, or do you keep your USDS GS rating?).

Motion sickness is body's way to protect itself against eating hallucinogens by mistake. Large mismatch between what your inner ear is feeling about your motion, and what your eyes perceive as your motion, imply possible hallucinogens, so your body is trying to make you throw them up. Humans haven't evolved riding in vehicles. Interior of car is not moving much relative to you, but your inner ear feels movement.
I should have said starting TC, not salary. When I looked at it years ago, GS-15 salaries capped out at the average salary of a Google L3.

It looks like it may be a little above L3 salary today (moving in the right direction!), but still far below L3 TC, and a Google L3 job is not even remotely comparable to a GS-15 job.

IMO if the government had a separate band of GS pay for highly competitive job markets which paid 50-100k more, they would be a lot more successful.
The “Benevolent Terror” of the Child Welfare System
Did anyone actually beat games of this class 100% without cheating? The whole era of Monkey Island, Grim Fandango, Indiana Jones, etc had so many random little "make this thing interact with that thing" I know as a kid I had to occasionally look up the answer. I did beat Myst without cheating, which felt like it was a different type of product because there was always a logical answer once the puzzle clicked, whereas the old Lucas Film games had so much randomness.

I hope/wonder if they will tweak the mechanics on this new release.

I despise engineers writing code when they don't understand laws.

Yes, we can play the tracker-removal cat-and-mouse game, but that involves a lot of time and effort, projected forever. This battle is going to be won by whoever has the most time and money to waste, and, spoiler alert: it's not the adblock vendors. It's Google.

In the specific case of cookies, you need those to authenticate to web services, so you can't just block all of them. Instead you need to delicately allow or deny every cookie based on if it's purpose is holding a login token or tracking a user. In fact, sometimes it's both.

Strictly speaking, if I log into Facebook, that shouldn't be considered consent to track. But right now, that's how it works. You know all those "login with Facebook" buttons all over the web? Those give Facebook third-party tracking capability. There is no browser extension in the world that will allow you to login with Facebook without also telling Facebook what site you were logging into. You need a law to force Facebook to split-brain themselves and silo off that data from their advertising operations.

Yeah, sure. "Just don't use Login with Facebook". Except every third-party login system has this problem - and there are plenty of smaller companies that absolutely do not want to handle user credentials and require that you use a third-party login service. And given that using smaller providers are the easiest way to get your credentials stolen, it is entirely understandable and advisable that they not roll their own authentication.

Furthermore, most users are not at all aware of all the technical stuff I mentioned above - and they shouldn't have to be in order to have privacy.

Having a well-written law is a lot easier: you just tell Facebook, "no, really, if you use your login service to track people we're going to fine you". Corporations react to (sufficiently large) fines a lot more favorably than technical restrictions or circumvention. "Don't be evil" is a way bigger guarantee than "can't be evil".
Healthcare.gov is the project that kicked off USDS (because the site was so horrible and the contractors charged billions). That site impacts millions of lives.

Are vibrators really the best option? I would think small actuators that apply pressure, with a dull point perhaps, would be more energy efficient and could provide higher resolution.
Yes, absolutely correct and I should have been clearer about this, this was the (at this point) long-running USDS program, not this new thing.
Consider that your experience may not be representative of all programmers' experiences (even if you exclude the experiences of the ones that we could broadly agree are not among the competent ones). Life involves green lights and red lights. If you manage to hit a lot of green lights, it can be hard to grasp what's going on with the people who didn't. (This is true even if your number of green lights is average.)

That is honestly the best argument I've ever heard (you're the first I see mention it). With as much as I hate writing rather than typing, I can see the point there actually. Maybe this practice is not as wholly stemming from elitism as it first seemed.

Radar has high current/high voltage implications that may very well have favored tubes at that point.

Not the same low power electronics.

If the plane needed to have a high power radio transmitter tubes might have been superior at that time too.

It was still pretty early in the history of the transistor and active radar and radio transmitters are very different than consumer radio receivers.
How does product and engineering execute user stories?
I'm trying to find the best solution for executing medium to large projects as an engineering lead working with a product owner.

The way we do it now is product write epics and user stories. These stories contain the business problem, the acceptance criteria, design, etc. The problem is these stories are usually not small enough for an engineer to work on in a sprint so they need to be broken down. To break them down, engineering creates our own story and links it to the product story so we can point these broken down engineering stories so we can measure velocity. The engineering stories are light weight with little technical details since the title is usually self explanatory.

How does everyone else do it? I feel like i'm always battling how to manage execution of product and engineering, especially in a startup environment.
For current phones I think 5 years is a good support window, the batteries don't last much longer than that. But if replaceable batteries make a comeback (and I hope they do with the push from the EU), then I definitely agree that more like 10 years should be demanded as reasonable.

Especially for something like Android where if you compare a flagship from 5-7 years ago with a brand new Android Go phone the level of performance & feature set is not really that different. So it's not like the OS gets to actually start expecting things like a high end Vulkan capable GPU & neural net accelerators or anything. It still has to work with what is essentially old hardware anyway just in a brand new body.
Yeah, as someone whose salary has been around that amount recently (though at the moment it’s slightly higher) 110k is not at all poorly paid. You can have a very high standard of living for that much in a lot of places in the US; I’m in Philadelphia and consider myself very well off making that much.

I find many of the cross platform toolkits arguments somewhat bogus. Sure if you pick electron it looks nothing like a native app because they basically created their own UI interface that just happens to run on multiple OSs. Same for java.

OTOH, QT for example still tries to use native dialogs so when you click open file, you get the native OS open dialogs/etc. Sure if your an expert you can find place where they aren't quite right, but for most people they won't notice the difference. Plus, if your really OCD about it, given your in C++ you can just add your own OS shim layer (or custom components) to correct the slight differences you might see here/there by calling the OS services natively.

For me it helps to have as much of a view of the outside as possible. Feeling the wind helps also. If I'm in the back seat looking mostly at the interior of the car, my inner ear senses motion but my eyes tell me I'm stationary. I think those conflicting inputs are the cause of most motion sickness.

Much less of an issue for me when I'm in front looking out the front window.
I think its also just an inevitable result of working somewhere. You're constantly surrounded by coworkers, you're repeatedly hearing all of the overly optimistic business justifications for why you're working on what you're doing, and maybe you read an article about the competition a few times a year. It's a classic echo chamber.
