animal's hearing is improving (you can't simply ask)

This seems relatively easy, right? Play a sound at a given frequency, associate it with a food reward. Like Pavlov's dog, but vary the frequency of the bell.

Oversimplification obviously, and "easy" is extreme relative to all the other hard parts involved but that part seems very doable

They only work happily with SpaceX because it saves them potentially billions per year (and often there is no other option).
Also in use in Ukraine presently are the Stugna-P, a domestically produced antitank weapon [1] as well as the German Panzerfaust 3 [2]. In the footage available online, the infantry are carrying a surprising quantity of all these types of weapons - It's a quirky group of antitank weapons from a bunch of different countries. There are videos circulating in Ukraine on how to use the more foreign systems. [3] [4]

Public companies can have voting structures that prevent anyone from just buying it and taking over. Like Alphabet/google, Brin and Page have a majority of voting rights, but only own about 12% of the stock.
Perhaps free as in money but not in source. All the big boys who deployed it absolutely wanted the source to customize in house. Also too little too late.
It is anti-stop sign in the sense that it’s rational to ask for the vast majority to be deleted. The abuse is that rampant.

Everyone's different and unless you account for that we will keep talking past each other.

Yesterday I went to the office for the first time in a month. I hated it.

First I spent over 1 hour commuting each way, which felt like a massive waste of time. We moved to a town out of the city because here we could afford a better living space for us without having to spend half of our income in rent.

Since I left in a hurry I forgot to take my lunch with me (that I cook at home daily), so instead I had to go to a takeaway around the corner and spend 25$ for a dubious sandwich and a snack. Coffee from the big tub in the lobby is so bad that makes me wonder how someone can botch coffee so badly. After lunch I got sleepy as sometimes happens, but instead of a powernap like I have at home, I had to bumble through my code until I sobered up. I ended up getting back home late and exhausted.

Some of the arguments from OP are quite curious, such as the number of steps. In my case, rather than spending 2 hours sitting in busses, I could spend 1 hour in the gym and 1 hour walking my dog, and come up ahead.

By the way, why is bonding with colleagues such a big deal? I had to leave my family and lifelong friends behind due to moving to another city. What if WFH had been the norm when I started my career? Doesn't hanging out with your family and friends count for anything?

Again I recognise each person's circumstances are different, but after having a taste of remote work (after 12 years of in-the-office career) I don't think I'll ever be able to go back.
I don't want line numbers, IMHO it's an anti-pattern to have them. I'm not writing code trying to maximize the number of lines, or show my boss "look I wrote 10k lines today, so productive!". I'm trying to write less lines of code--if a function is sprawling past a page then I'm getting suspicious that it's too complex.

If I have to remember "ok line 7000 is where the weird permission business logic starts" that's a failure to comment and make clear how the code is structured.

If tooling is telling me there's a problem on a specific line then I should have a code action or command to take me directly to that line, I shouldn't have to juggle navigation manually.
Your reply is confusing to the point where maybe there's a misunderstanding of the definition.

Rolling-coal is illegally bypassing the exhaust on a vehicle, it's illegal everywhere in the tri-state area, it's illegal in the whole country because it's a federal law (Clean Air Act, no tampering with exhaust) that states cannot override.

So you are simultaneously confessing to committing crimes while insisting you respect other people? Something isn't meshing there.

> Tesla loses money on every car. They make money from regulatory credit trading.

Absolute hogwash. In 2021, Tesla made 43B revenue in automotive sales and only 1.5B in regulatory credits, which is less than net income of over 5B.

That is including massive short term hit by continuing investments in new factories and new products.

Good luck spinning.

> Cause we can siphon from the huge man-hours of development and polish that M$ has put on VSCode.

Anything done on the language server side is already coc/built-in client agnostic (since communication is done over json-rpc, except for tsserver which MS has not yet exposed via the LSP, so we rely on the typescript-language-server-wrapper), anything on the client side is marginally useful at best.
Your example is quite funny and also represents how i would approach the matter of becoming a linux kernel developer.

Even if C is not my primary language of choice, i would definitely try adapt myself to the ecosystem and not the other way around.

You have all the knowledge of other peers, manual, books, all the libraries, the whole ecosystem.. this cant be replaced.

Also there's something else about C nowadays, is the lingua-franca, the latim (or english) of programming languages. We use it to expose api's to others in any other language that want to consume it as a library.

There's something about culture that people often forget in tech.. it's the real backbone of any project that it's on its own feet.. and when you want to enter in a community you will be better of if you learn and adapt yourself into this community culture instead of creating cultural clashes into the community and try to overtake it (be it hostile or not).

People should be aware that this effort will make it possible to create rust-based kernel drivers and that's it. the RIIR folks are delusional and hype fueled and its better if the sane Rust community get away from them or start to get them back into reality as i bet they are not willing to expend 10 or 15 years of their lives rewriting big and complex piece of software for a likely no return as people will tend to keep using the software the have more community and that are stronger.

It's a much better approach for Rust or any other programming language to become research darlings and eventually become the primary ecosystem of a research OS that went well and is the thing that will replace Linux. The language alone wont do it, it must be able to be a contender to UNIX and POSIX, and whatever language that is in such a system will probably be the one that will become the dominant one in such a ecosystem.

Also another good approach is to virtualize the Linux Api like gvisor does is userspace or the fuchsia OS(and even FreeBSD) does in the kernelspace. So that you can create your OS and kernel in the best way you can looking ahead, and have this Linux compat layer where applications dont even need to be aware they are not actually running in Linux.
The main reason to use it is that if you’re stuck with an Oracle stack, you can manipulate the bonkers Oracle system to drive a better deal.

Oracle people compete brutally internally. They cross-sell many product lines. The hardware guys will gleefully screw over the software or cloud people.
Coming to a full stop and then slowly crossing the intersection puts you at way more danger than clearing the roads as you approach and rolling through. I like to get out of harms way as soon as I can.

Just like when I'm on my motorcycle, I like to pass cars on the highway, not chill next to them waiting for them to merge into me. Keep moving and limit your time spent in dangerous situations.
This. I've seen a few small ones in residential areas in California and they prevent speeding because you need to slow down as you cannot go straight but still allow flow faster than stopping 5 times.
> This is entirely wrong. You can suffer from depression (and anxiety) and attribute it to other things, such as personality traits. Many people think "that's just me" with those that know them thinking the same. For less acute forms of depression such as dysthymia, that's common. People can think they're entirely normal and they're just not good at certain things.

My post explicitly says the hypothetical man is happy, not that he thinks "that's just me".

If you want to argue against that, you have to define mental illness from a behavoral or functional perspective which I don't think you've done.
I knew I'd watched the first two videos at some point because when I opened this page, those first two links were the only ones greyed out. Good stuff.
I love articles on tabloid sites like CNN et al that have a headline of "People are freaking out over X!"

Yes, NYC is not just pragmatically anti-car (which to some extent it needs to be), it is also ideologically anti-car, and that manifests in stupid rules like that.

Tmux has support visual mode (at least character and line), I use it all the times.

I don't remember if it's enabled by default, but I have this in my ~/.tmuxrc (where pbcopy is the excellent https://github.com/skaji/remote-pbcopy-iterm2/blob/master/pb...)

# Enable vi mode
setw -g mode-keys vi

# Copy to host
bind-key -T copy-mode-vi v send-keys -X begin-selection
bind-key -T copy-mode-vi y send-keys -X copy-pipe "pbcopy"
unbind -T copy-mode-vi Enter
bind-key -T copy-mode-vi Enter send-keys -X copy-pipe "pbcopy"

It mostly work as expected, ctrl+B ] enter copy mode, then you can use / and ? to search, v to enter character visual mode, V to enter line visual mode and y/enter to copy the selection.

I was at university in the late 90s. In exchange for buying us all (usually cheap) pizza, companies could come in and give an hour long pitch for why we should come work for them after graduation. A few big companies wanted more time so they'd cater higher end pizza or more elaborate catering as a bribe to get students to come to their presentation. Microsoft bough a large amount of Mellow Mushroom (the best pizza in our little college town) and did a two hour presentation on what it is like to work at Microsoft and why we should want to work there. Later in the semester Sun came to campus and catered their two hour presentation with chicken nuggets. But real issue was that the people and videos that were part of Sun's presentation didn't tell us much about Sun or why we should work there. It was a two hour long ranting whinefest about why no one should work at Microsoft. This was on the East Coast so these people were doing a tour of all of the major engineering schools and wasting it on their angst over Microsoft. I was around the time of the JVM lawsuit so I understand why Sun was mad at Microsoft but it seemed to have broken something in their corporate DNA and turned them insane.

Perhaps that was just an isolated incident confined to the university recruiters but Sun at that time seemed overly focused on fighting Microsoft instead of improving their product offerings. Perhaps some of anger ended up turning potential users and employees away from Microsoft but I suspect lots of those ended up going with Linux or some other alternative rather than going with Sun.

Because when you have good visibility and momentum, it’s much safer to get through and away from an intersection than to come to a stop, put your foot down, and get moving again. The traffic laws are made for automobiles, but it’s great to see Colorado recognizing the difference.

I’m also unclear what regulations they seem to think makes sense. The other way to phrase it is “Elon Musk can wake up one morning and use his personal money to buy a private property that is publicly available for sale.”
NYC has free parking in every borough which is fairly pro-car in my (admittedly probably anti-car) circles.
If you are in certain states (e.g. California) non-comps are almost wholly unenforceable and many folks will happily sign them knowing even a company like AWS won't be able to do squat.

Jurisdiction matters, as non-comps are common, and many firms rely on a lack of knowing to pressure folks into behaving the way they like, regardless of actual legal sturdiness.
That's a brew packaging problem. Haven't used it for years but it happened enough for me that I just went to Linux where packaging wasn't an issue.
> Removing stop signs doesn't magically solve anything.

It sure does! Look at all the harms caused by unwarranted stop signs in my original post. Removing the vast majority of stop signs removes those harms, and since they couldn’t have solved any problem in the first place, their removal causes no novel, long term harm.
Clay,

Just want to thank you for your great work.

I used to work on a lot of US Department of Defense projects, mostly stuff I can't talk about. One very notable project I CAN talk about was an initiative (pushed by utterly clueless, insular, and frankly corrupt academics) to spend billions of dollars in 2008-2010 timeframe on implementing Semantic Web technologies in various military business systems across the DoD.

As an actual technologist who knew how to build things, I was perpetually in the awful position of having to explain to leadership that these highly credentialed academics were selling garbage. I had tried to implement systems according to their design. The graph databases they pushed (they hated Neo4J, for reasons of purity because it didn't actually use RDF/OWL in the database...... i get a headache just talking about this...) were slow piles of dogshit that couldn't scale. No amount of reality could dissuade the academics. They had their theories, and any collision with reality was merely an implementation detail that I and my team were simply too incompetent to overcome in their eyes. Almost none of them had actual technical experience. A smattering of Comp Sci folks, and a ton of "Library Science" idiots.

Your essays on why the SemWeb was utter bullshit were a potent weapon I used with the generals the academics were pushing, and I eventually got the generals funding the project to see the light. Got them cancelled, and sent the idiot egg-heads packing. I still see them on LinkedIn to this day. They desperately continue trying to push that rock up the hill, and only recently warmed to more practical graph database solutions.

They HATED YOU. It was hilarious, watching them try to refute your obvious points and clear writing with jargon and hand-waving. Utterly unconvincing to the generals.

Thanks for your essays saving my ass back then!

10X Management represents programmers with in-demand skills. 10X has represented me since 2013. They have consistently sent good gigs my way and taken care of the marketing, legal/contract, and invoicing/payment side for 15% of gross. Generally they negotiate higher rates than I used to get on my own. I can decide which gigs I want to take.

Toptal works more like a traditional outsourced development shop than an agency, you might want to look at them. I haven’t worked through Toptal but friends who have or still do report consistent work but sometimes complain about low rates. Toptal reportedly requires getting through a challenging vetting process.
This is only true for bad managers. I'm very used to having managers as friends and weekly 1x1s talking strategy.

Well, I was used to it until I retired. An important aspect of retiring was understanding management's role and be allied in the company's direction.
Penalizing does not work, period. Religion tried with scare tactics for thousands of years. Sharing costs for auditing open source libraries depended on would need a platform to share the load, something like a Patreon for businesses.
> Like, why are groups of cyclists going in rows of two or three in a narrow service road (40 to 50 mph speed limit).

On a road with one lane in each direction? So that passing vehicles aren’t facing oncoming traffic for as long. If you’re giving them enough space when passing, you’re probably over the line anyway; would you rather be there for twice or three times as long if they were riding single-file?
Yeah if anything what was too late was solaris' open sourcing. It could have had Linux' lunch.

It could have done wish some Linux dev love too, Linux was much further ahead in terms of updates.

I remember updating one of our Solaris servers back in the 9 or 10 days and it was basically just a list of things I had to change manually. Almost nothing automated.

> It seems a bit much to expect the website to show you a warning of different levels of severity

I've done this for personal projects. I don't see why GitHub can't do something similar.

> It even makes you type the name of the repo you want to make private before proceeding

No, it literally does not. Nor does this mean you fully understand the implications of what you are doing as explained in the article.

> check what repo you're in before taking destructive actions

The amount of checking and automation of things for non-destructive actions, you'll forgive someone for expecting a bit of extra automation that, in this case, literally costs less.
The Wolf of Crypto
Side streets rarely have bike lanes, have more 4-way stops, randomly appear/disappear and have terrible potholes for road bikes.

People act as if american side-streets aren't designed in an actively hostile manner for traffic calming that makes biking really difficult.

Most importantly, most cyclists are using google maps like the rest of us, and google sends us on the main street. So, that's where we go.
Russian Dissent
This is clearly something written many people will have difficulty connecting with.

I'm guessing it's easier for me because I've yet to see a startup out to prove the existence of human needs for thriving and committing to designing a business and culture with that level of awareness, or with the goal of creating an ecosystem capable of meeting all those needs.

And if startups and their VCs are all chasing something else besides the needs to thrive, then aren't they all sheep going after not-needs?

Where's the startup that's like "Human needs? Establishing what those are was the first thing we did when we had this idea because product-market fit is meaningless if we're literally developing a system that denies the existence of needs of the people working here by staying ignorant of them. That's organizationally and societally suicidal."
Non-legal opinion: you are unlikely to be able to get the company to deviate from the standard agreements, they are enforceable in WA, and in practice they would have to show harms to really have any teeth on you besides making your life tediously miserable with legal paperwork.

In public docs terms from western public bodies: https://www.osce.org/files/f/documents/e/7/233896.pdf but beside that the "fact" someone describe cannot be really proven.

I mean few weeks ago Italian main TV channel have passed "the bombing of Kiev" witch was recognized quickly as a cut-scene of the game War Thunder. Then various westerns media have publish a news about a correspondent killed on duty, the same one declared killed an year or so in Kabul. Other medias show pictures of crying women saying they are Ukrainian in tears for the Russian bombing, actually those photos came from AFP/2014 and were really Ukrainian women in tears, only they were Russian-speaking ones in tear for Euromaidan massacres.

Since I'm not there, not I know in person anyone there I can't say who bombed who nor if there war really such bombing at all. While I can reason at the macro level, because at micro level anyone can say no matter what it's next to impossible prove that true or false if not done so badly like actual propaganda, but at larger scale is equally next to impossible hiding things and reasoning about their real reasons is far easier.

Of course the fact that me, myself and I fails to see a sense in something does not disprove that something, but connecting dots help and the actual propaganda, on both sides, reached a level that's very easy to spot it.

There's some leaps here the author takes as self-evident that I don't follow.

> perception and experience…

I was a 30 year old hiring manager, once guilty of ageism.

In spite of my gut instincts, we hired a gray haired ‘old guy’ well into his 50’s.

I had concerns, could he keep up with us? Would he have the energy and stamina required?

But we needed someone urgently and my colleagues felt he was a good fit. So, I went along willing to give him a trial.

Turns out, I was a total dope.

He quickly became an informal team lead, amazingly efficient in managing people and projects.

And above all, well respected in our company.

Over the years— he turned down multiple manager promotion offers. Quite insistent, he didn’t want the headaches… smart guy!
Can you point me in the direction of a TV that adds basic features like VRR through firmware?
