VPSes usually have "virtual CPUs", meaning they are shared between people who rent "virtual CPUs" at that hosting company. When you have a Raspberry, you most certainly have a dedicated CPU. This makes a big difference in terms of consistent performance, you always know how fast it can go and won't suddenly perform worse because your "neighbor" on the VPS hosting is also using a lot of CPU.

This is also why dedicated instances are usually way better for performance-sensitive hosting compared to beefier VPS instances.
VSCode opens in 1s on my machine (macbook pro m1). Good enough for me.
That's not totally inexplicable. It takes time to do the construction so in the meantime the price goes up.

In a normal market the investors would predict the price coming back down when the construction catches up so it would only go up a little bit, since most prospective buyers would e.g. rent until they could pay less for one of the new units. More to the point, the bank would predict that and not give you a loan that size.

Pre-2007, banks weren't doing that. They were giving loans to everybody regardless of creditworthiness or risk because they were buying credit default swaps which create moral hazard. So unsavvy borrowers overbid on existing properties about to revert to their construction cost and you got a bubble in a place you normally wouldn't.
I am surprised at just how slow Visual Studio proper is compared to VS Code, at things like typing and updating linting/compiler warnings.

"Don't say that he's hypocritical, Say rather that he's apolitical."

I'm sure that this applies to Mr Musk as well.

Specifically Mr Musk has met on good terms with the administrations of both of last 2 US presidents. He's not taking sides or avoiding anyone on some principle.

That's why I think he would not say no to a big US government (military) contract.
That's weird, warehouses have flat floors, so robots on wheels would be much simpler.

"Hiring too fast" happens because managers, company executives and sometimes even investors want to play with shiny toys rather than solving the problems they actually had.

The "shiny toys" in this case are employees and the task of managing them.

As a (future?) lead/manager, having more people on your team bolsters your resume. A lot of people would benefit from the company hiring more too as it generates demand in other parts of the business - HR, IT support, etc (which in turn causes more hiring if you need more people to deal with the increased workload). As a higher-up in the company, it looks better on your resume if it was a "big" company with 100+ employees rather than a scrappy garage startup with 3 people, and likewise for investors.

> Previously we tried more traditional stuff like fire walking but we had to stop doing that one because a guy in another team wasn't careful setting up the coal and then HR banned it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

tbh I found fire walking to be overrated. Onboarding is really difficult and, as a consequence, the Kanban board just doesn't paint a full picture for new staff during their first weeks. And the ritual has to happen late at night so every once in a while someone starts bickering about having to stay late at work and demands to be paid for extra hours. It's far more trouble than it's worth, I don't think it has any significant advantage over sacrificing a goat on spring equinox, which you only have to do once.

The good CGI, you don't notice. David Fincher is famous for using A LOT of CGI in his movies, and I'd bet good money that you don't notice the vast majority of said CGI in his movies.

But there are lots of vids that show the use of CGI in his movies.
I'd guess they'd run in firecracker VMs (a technology they open sourced), targeting faster starts. And perhaps turning off the compile time flags also results in a faster-starting binary, which is the more important metric for serverless, maybe at the expense of slower code/longer runtime, excepting that runtimes are on average quite short anyway.
I don't believe that. First because we are we are with larger numbers, so more absolute numbers of smart people. Second. We have never lived so rich, free and well fed as today.

Yes, Dolby won. By being cheap to implement.

I used to work in this space and I've dealt with:

- Barco Auro 3D

- Frauenhofer MPEG-H

- Dolby Atoms

- DTS:X

The idea behind Auro3D is to just use a lot of discrete channels, which is great for cinemas with a static playback architecture, but there's no way to adjust the mixing based on the listener's speaker setup. So it is difficult to make sound great for home use unless you have lots of space to hang things on your ceiling. (5 top speakers needed)

MPEG-H can do everything but it's difficult to configure and was fully specified very late, after Dolby Atmos was already in production. That said, this is the agreed-upon default standard for broadcast, because it supports stuff like 200 language-independent 3D objects + 5 language-dependent voice actor tracks, all positioned in 3D. MPEG-H can also be converted easily to Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.

Many professionals agree that DTS:X is the best quality consumer option. It also theoretically supports quite a lot of customization. But ASIC implementations tend to freeze those because otherwise it's too expensive. And it still is expensive.

Dolby Atmos virtualization is said by gossip to be a few 32-tap IIR filters with delay modules in between. That means it's by far the lowest-tech solution on the list. And that means cheap ASIC implementations. I believe this is why Atmos won.

If I remember correctly, DTS:X is a $4 chip, Atmos is a $0.5 chip.
To me, the ability to bisect is a good reason not to squash (I assume you mean squash merge?).

My commits all stand alone; each is a distinct change that pretty much always is in a working state. Often it will be a series of refactors before the real change. Ironically, though it makes bisect easier, I find it rarely need to use bisect: just looking at commit messages (via either log or blame) is often enough to isolate a problem.

I accomplish this using interactive staging, and within my branch, and before I push, using any combination of rebase, squash, amend and fixup. I also prefix commits with the ticket to make referencing way easier.

My failed experiments (a change that later is undone) don't usually make it to anyone else, unless it's something modified during a PR review. On a small handful of occasions I've changed something radically and will delete the remote branch, modify and interactive rebase ny local one and push it again (or push as a new branch). For a feature I work on for a couple days, I'll commit a couple dozen times or more, rebase/squash to maybe 5-10 commits anyone else sees, and push to origin maybe 2-5 times.

When merging the branch (PR), I use merge --no-ff. This preserves commits and makes it easier to see later during a blame. And since the commit history is clean, it's not "noisy".

One of the massive benefits of this is the ability to take a big PR and split it up for easier review: I can branch off halfway, make a PR there with just the refactors, merge it, then the actual change merges cleanly later, and preserves the parent commit relations, so you can visually see what happened. This also works great when you fix a bug on the way to adding a new feature, or want to ship the early part of a feature early before everything is done (but only decide that after work has already started on stuff you're not ready to ship).

> I thought they made their own.

I saw some articles implying that they thought so too but are actually using a lot more Chinese components even as substitutes for military grade components. Given that the portion of US companies make a military and commercial grade component with only thermal differences, I would wonder if they aren't getting a lot of commercial grade versions of US designs from China.

It would be interesting if someone goes through their wreckage strewn about and starts to catalog the finer details of some of the small components.
Honestly, the real hurdle now seems to be the support for paid apps. It's such a taboo in the Linux world, for some reason [1], but thankfully Flatpak and Flathub are working towards that goal [2], which ElementaryOS already explored.

I want small, high quality apps like macOS has. I want to make a living building open source software that can be supported and bought commercially—no, donations and sponsoring isn't good enough. I want companies being able to sell their software on Linux through the integrated app store, now that it's finally become good enough.

1: Plenty Linux users think FOSS means never having to pay for software, or that commercial software will kill us all and it's morally wrong. I strongly disagree.

This isn't some C problem, this is a GTK+ problem.

There's no need to be throwing all this up-front known crap into a runtime constructed dictionary.

If the widget has a "clicked" signal, there should be a typedef of the callback function appropriate for that signal and the widget struct should have a clicked_cb member for a list of callbacks of that type. Then there should simply be a unique function for installing the callback on that signal on a widget. At least then the compiler can tell you when you're mixing up callbacks<->signals for API-defined signals. It's not even complicated.

> Musk is a republican

Mr Musk is a multi-billionaire. In the US system that class does not pledge allegiance to a political party, rather the other way around.

Russian Oligarchs are "made" by the ruling party, and owe their wealth entirely to that. The US system is, however, more flexible in which way the loyalty flows.
It is an interesting detail, but I guess taht most most people will still refer to it colloquially as Nobel prize.

I think that point about the nature of the price doesn't diminish the point that was being made. As much as it is a call to authority, weight of opinion of someone rewarded with that price is bigger than random voice on the internet.

That being said I think this thread starting with unsubstantiated criticism of Paul Krugman ideas/opinions is not constructive and rather useless.
I think you'll get a more accurate view of things reading contemporary sources than his post-hoc justifications of why Mathematica was really NKS all along. If anything, Mathematica also missed the boat on proof assistants, which it should have totally nailed - so if anything, any NKS ideology embodied in Mathematica held it back here as the field verged to being grounded in type theory. (But more likely - ordinary large codebase too difficult to adapt.)

I don't think GitHub will be able to tell you much about how physicists are working one way or another. Physicists in general, and also mathematicians and researching engineers who I suspect make up the bulk of most Mathematica users, don't use GitHub.
My experience of building an electron application for multiple platforms was similarly painful. When you are writing native specific code, you have to write native specific code regardless of if you use Qt or electron. Something has to interface with the operating system. Either you use someone else's code that is cross platform, or you write your own cross platform code.

I used mainly Sublime Text the last years and I know enough vim that it is the most comfortable editor for me on the linux command line. I currently also use Visual Studio Code because my coworkers use it and next month when I switch Jobs I am expected to use IntelliJ.

Using Sublime as my main editor was my choice.

Using vim as my main editor on the linux command line was practical, since it is the default.

Using Visual Studio Code or IntelliJ is a choice that my employer makes for me.

We have so many editors because computers are old and we condensed the number of mainstream operating systems down significantly from what is was in the past so now people that came in contact with various editor traditions are trying to bring those features together in new text editors.
You state that the number of people suffering from censorship is at an all time high. Presumably you have a number to back that up? If so, you can express that as a percentage of the relevant population(s) instead.

As for something even more constructive...

Perhaps you could promote the use of TOR and other privacy and censorship circumvention tools.
You probably meant "magnifying glass".

Without knowing the full picture, it sounds sketchy to me. You might want to reach out to her manager, or someone else on that level, who you trust. But if you do, it can have consequences. So you need to decide if you are ready to face the consequences. E.g. it could lead to her losing her job. Or you might lose your job. If you’re not comfortable with that, then maybe just look the other way.
It looks like the PMTiles is basically Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF, but for png.

Asynchronous comms.

That’s it. For people who want to, they develop a closer relationship and catch up more often. But it’s not expected.

We trust our people, and expectations have been set and agreed upon. It’s enough.
> Waste of time unless you’re an obsessive micromanager. Other team members either don’t read these entirely or just skim them.

This is probably true if you work in complete isolation.

If, however, you are a part of a larger team or organization a lot of value can come out of this type of transparency - it removes the need for a lot of meetings and is a great tool in an asynchronous work environment.

Just two minutes ago one of the devs in a team I manage picked something someone from a different team logged about, and decided to initiate a discussion about a potential conflict.

I agree that it should not be mandated though, but should come from the fact that people see it as valuable.

There's also a cultural aspect of it - it brings life to an online community that have to be built, and it works to fill the need of casual interactions during lunch or other spontaneous gatherings that no longer occur with regular cadence.
What I learned gathering thousands of nootropic ratings
It is somewhat amusing to me that an object based surround sound system has now become dominate after it was so big on PCs with Soundblaster and the A3D cards and was killed by 5.1 and a change in Windows DirectX to stop object based sound from being possible. Sound has really taken a big innovation step back and still isn't at the stage it was 20 years ago, most games nowadays have to use middleware to give environmental sound effects to play out of the 5.1/7.1/headphones that Windows provides, and then we have the special support for Dolby Atmos which competes poorly with the current good solutions on PC.

With games DTS:X for headphones sounded a lot better than Dolby Atmos for headphones but neither compares well to the latest Soundblaster AE and Sennheiser GSX. Alas binaural and environmental sound is very much a tertiary concern for a lot of gamers so its never recovered from the Windows Vista fatal blow.

Now we have the worst sounding solution developed for home theatrees that solves none of the PC gaming issues and doesn't even really do a good job with Movies either on its way to complete dominance. Its quite disappointing how the sound market has played out after all the work done by AMD for raytraced sound reflections and the early hardware implementations that did a similar thing alongside environmental effects and binaural directional sound including the vertical.

> rituals have been helpful for your software development teams

An interesting choice of word worth exploring. One could have said
"activity" or "procedure", but ritual carries some connotations
about the state of remote/hybrid working.

What I think you're asking is - what ways we can connect/bond in human
ways? Group dynamics, team identity, loyalty, non-monetary reward,
focus and satisfaction, and much more, are determined by the
interpersonal bonds that obviously have been disintegrating in a
post-pandemic workforce.

Great that people want to find ways to preserve that.

Rituals can be healthy, but also toxic. If an organisation already has
a strong charter they can be used to keep it on track. But they can be
used to select and filter group membership, and if anyone (the
super-sociable one) gets to define and enforce rituals they become a
mechanism for one group to take over the company and impose their
values by fiat.

For example, food in the workplace is contentious. I consulted at a
medium sized London startup where there was a daily banquet of
obscenely healthy vegetarian food. At the order of the MD's wife,
lunch attendance was "required", lest you fall our of favour with "the
family" (which is how she cringingly referred to the company
workers). She would sit and watch everybody with eagle eyes. Having a
controlling "feeder" policing the staff this way felt toxic.

In many big London firms, "pints with the lads" on Friday is a City
ritual that weeds out the family-men and those who can't navigate the
social status intricacies of "buying the boss a beer". Going to a bar
with 18 year old lap-dancers gets old when you want be at home and
talk to your wife, or 18 yo daughter about her A-level homework. In
some Japanese work culture, drinking till you can't stand up is a
symbol of workplace vigour and loyalty. Although in healthy companies
the women come out for drinks too, these rituals are often ways to
cement male domination.

To quote Nietzsche "What new rituals must you invent to atone..." As
rituals transform into electronic versions there is no doubt that new
controlling behaviours will emerge, making performative rituals of
loyalty, denouncement, compliance and symbolic belonging. There are
already new ways of including or excluding people via technological
means just along the lines of "Teams or Zoom" [1]

Meetings can also just be meetings. But really they are more.
"Rituals", if they are to be healthy, need to be optional, evolve
organically, and do so in a way that is inclusive of the whole team.

[1] Other much better teleconferencing solutions are available.
If Google actually cared about this, why bother going through the faff of making and standardising a new protocol?

You don't need a "DNS Standard" to be able to do name resolution between a client and a server you control. Just make up your own, pick a network transport (HTTPS works in most places!) and deploy it without telling anyone.
Well... the cheapest VPS vendor I know offers something as low spec as 256MB RAM + 10G Disk(1). You might meet OOM Killer for just running Docker install script, don't even think about putting a Minecraft server on.

The editor looks really nice! And the price tag is absolutely fine for what it promises.

But, with 30 years experience in software development, I won't even look into primary development tools that are not cross platform. I am mainly on Linux, often on Windows (usually because clients force me) and sometimes on Mac (for iOS development and cross platform testing). I want the same toolset no matter the hardware or OS.
