I think this is it. Repetition.

You could threaten to kill me and I wouldn't be able to user ffmpeg from memory. I just don't have to use it often enough. So I created a script w/ the settings I usually want to encode certain things that I need to encode semi-often. It definitely doesn't make it easier to remember ffmpeg command line options because I don't have to use them.

kubectl and our home grown command line tools to interact with our build and deployment? I know most of it by heart of course because I use it daily. I really don't like some of the scripts that we have and do it "by hand" instead because I have to use it all often enough that I want to know what is really going on underneath in case things don't go the way they should (and there's always something). I am able to diagnose and fix or work around all these issues with ease because of it, while lots of other people just run the wrapper scripts and if something doesn't work they very often aren't able to even troubleshoot the simplest problems. I'm that guy w/ ffmpeg ;)
I have just made a little machine learning model to help me go through the 27k photos from my ten years of cell phone cameras (should this go up on the wall? y/n), and am using a Jupyter notebook for the tick tock of data labeling, image classification, data labeling the most ambiguous, reclassification, etc. Hope to write up soon
Many would argue that material poverty is less important than poverty of the soul. This is why poor countries are often much happier than rich countries.
What I want is some kind of stake in the game.

I don't feel compelled to clear missions and help characters in game because its all fabricated without any consequences.
Requiring an exact justification for a specific NN architecture is not productive. Simply put, such justification almost never exists, yet NN clearly out-perform simple polynomials in a wide variety of tasks. Even if you know that a NN performs better than a simple polynomial on a task, you're very unlikely to get an exact explanation on why a specific NN was chosen vs. the infinite number of other possible NNs. If you require such an explanation, then you're going to miss out on a lot of performance.
It didn't claim that video games weren't fun or profitable, and the author even admitted they'd had fun with them. It just claimed that the current status quo of them has gotten kinda stale for them.

Video games being stagnant isn't exactly a new idea; we've more or less been stuck with the same interfaces with slight improvements for twenty years now.

The author just seems burnt out.
Glad to hear it!

Some PMs at my company have been agitating for a switch from Asana to Jira, and now I (as VP Engineering) can guarantee that will never, ever happen.
I completely understand. I can't guarantee anything, no on can in software. However, we do have a dedicated full-time team working on Lexical. DraftJS never had that, it only had a few part-time maintainers at Facebook.
That is in no way unique to SF (though I had to go private browsing to see because Paulg blocked me), not even CA specific.

This is more of paulg's libertarian anti-government nonsense, wherein he ignores the fact that the economic policies he favors lead fairly directly to the poverty that results in these scenes. The "uniquely broken" part of this is that the extreme poor live next to the extreme rich. In other places, the poor are aggressively policed away, and that's what paulg would considered "fixed". In other countries with functional social welfare systems you also get less of this - but paulg is vehemently opposed to the concept of "people not starving and freezing to death".
I love writing personal programs - you get to re-invent the wheel your own way to learn exactly how things work, with no code reviews or people shouting "[BLAH] ALREADY DOES THIS".

Sometimes you just want to code and see if you can recreate BLAH for yourself.

My oddest program was called 'heater' - it variable settings from warm -> hot and would peg the CPU at different rates (at the time I was in an unheated office, and rather than go buy a heater - I did what all programmers do and re-invent the wheel)

Programming is fun!

I think it never made it big because:

1. Thinking about having to parallel park makes sure you are less likely to bump the cars in front and behind. Moving the front in and then swinging the back in seems like a good way to swing the back into another car.

2. Parking wasn't as much of a nightmare in the early 30s. Then WWII happened and that metal would have been an excess. By the 50s it was a "failed" idea.

Having 90 degree car wheels (that can only go 90 degrees at ~rest) combined with the sensors on a modern EV might make it feasible. But I'm not a mechanical engineer so "90 degree car wheels" might have some other feasibility problems, even at rest.
Plot 2 graphs.

The first is the average of results. So 1 for heads, -1 for tails. Plot the running average over flips. It will start out all over the place. Eventually you will end up with a nice steady line near zero.

Next plot the running sum of the flips. The line will wander all over the place. At any particular time it might be a long way away from 0. In some cases it will never return.

So the average operation creates the tendency towards zero. The result can be useful sometimes, but it in no way helps predict the coin flips.

Anyway, engineering things to manufacture them and sell for profit is not a charity. It's indistinguishable from normal business.

Also Raspberry Pi SBCs and accessories are made by Raspberry Pi Trading Ltd, not by the foundation. If you look up FCC testing reports, it's all submitted by Rpi Trading. That's not charity even legally.

https://blog.adafruit.com/2021/09/21/raspberry-pi-trading-lt...

Charity, right? You wouldn't know from their own website, because they seem to not publicize their business structure very much. My guess that it's similar to mozilla foundation/co split. Foundation does nothing about the products, it's just a public face. And corportaion does all the product work, and is very for profit.
Allowing wheels to rotate 90 degrees would also destroy trunk space (and space in the engine compartment).
Yeah but a TLB is for user space virtual memory mapping. When your talking about GPU operations those usually go through opaque handles or allocated buffers and the DMA/read/write is done outside of user space(aside from initial data uploads or the case where you have unsynchronized user space memory buffers, but that's not usually the norm). Some of this changes a bit with Vulkan but it's not really clear from the thread how a TLB fits in.

Optimizing for TBR involves reducing drawcalls, buffer target switches and operations that are orthogonal to what a TLB historically does.
A simple google search shows lots of examples, even recent ones, where sanctions clearly worked.
Did you bother to look at the poster's submissions? It's not "thought policing". It is intent-awareness.
> This is straight up false because you know a priori that the chance is 50-50.

Not necessarily. As the article notes, the way humans normally toss coins, the coin has about a 51% chance to land on the side that was facing up at the start of the toss.

The more general point here is that the odds for a coin toss are not a property of the coin by itself; they are a property of the coin and the process that is used to toss it. IIRC E. T. Jaynes in his book on probability theory described experiments with a robotic coin flipper where it was found that the odds could be skewed quite significantly by properly designing and calibrating the flipper.

> If you don’t know they’re independent and you’re trying to identify the pattern that’s just an experiment.

Yes, I think most of the article would be better described as how to experimentally test for the actual odds of a process like repeated coin flips, given several possible hypotheses about how the process works.

> Yeah they do. At the roulette table, all the time. Gamblers do this a lot, which is where it gets its name.

Yes, the biggest missing piece I see in the article is any actual discussion of how actual gamblers in the real world behave.

Mitsubishi (and others) in the 80s,90s had 4 wheel steering:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering#Four-wheel_steering

I never drove one; I had a friend that said it really didn't do much for him that he noticed.
Netflix doesn't let anyone upload videos/music like youtube and spotify and they also clearly brand their shows as "netflix original".
Yes, definitely don't do it if you are just dabbling and aren't sure if you're leaving. I told one of them I was giving my 6 month notice, +/- 3 months.
Picture a stack of flat panels with each layer consisting of: (Cold)(Panel)(Hot)(Panel)(Cold) held vertically. So: (Cold)(Panel)(Hot)(Panel)(Cold)(Panel)(Hot)(Panel)(Cold)(Panel)(Hot)

Now you add hot gas at the bottom and have say 4 layers per m. So a 3mx3mx3m cube would be 4 layers * 2 panels per layer * 3m * 3m * 3m = 216m2 of panels taking up a 3mx3m section of floor. At 2.38w/cm2 * 10000cm2/m2 * 216m2 = 5.14 MW of power.
I think at some point in their lives, people are entitled, just maybe, to draw from their own personal experiences in the course of conversation. Just about every one of the 600 comments on this post are people sharing their personal experience (their dreadfully non-scientific anecdotes!).

Here, the commenter is saying it's their experience that women are more easily annoyed by "little things." Perhaps you've had the opposite experience, where your male friends complain non-stop about their female partner's annoying little habits?
I'd love to see a buildable world where the things players create are the assets in the game, and once they're destroyed, they're gone. This would give players a sense of actual scarcity and I think it would seriously affect how they play and think about the game.
I make it a habit to utilize dial-in numbers for conference software and disable mic inputs on my computer for this reason. There’s no guarantee that my phone doesn’t listen in while I’m muted, but I feel like it’s a better choice. There is a bit of audio quality loss, but on the flip side it isn’t as much of a battle over bandwidth while streaming video, sharing my screen, and broadcasting on audio.
Great idea! I'm curious how many options you're planning to cover. E.g. I couldn't find my use case of needing a Go Lambda triggered by a cron job that connects to an Aurora Postgres db.
I actually had this idea when I was a kid; good to have it confirmed that I wasn't the first to think of it.
The examples shown on the site are code editing. Which puts it in direct competition with the more established Monaco from Microsoft [1].

Competition is welcome, but the description sounds like this is more of a library than a finished product (which Monaco isn't), and if so, some examples showing how to take advantage of that would have been helpful.

Do you really need to think on why or do you believe they will just come out and say they are racist.

Do they? The author seems to have submitted only three posts in the last three weeks.
The model of game where there's a big shared goal among the playerbase that they can work together in is fun and can include stuff like easter-egg hunting, solving unsolved puzzles, figuring out speedrun strategies, etc. It's exciting playing a game knowing that if you figure something out or do things right then it could be what's talked about in the game forums among the playerbase and move things forward for everyone.

Another interesting model of game is one where the act of playing it leaves you with an interesting and personal artifact, like the bases you end up making in Minecraft, the factories and lines of automation you make in Factorio, the codebase you build in Screeps, etc. These games are great for pushing you to pick up skills in building kinds of things that you find interesting but wouldn't otherwise have a good excuse to work on.

Games that don't fall into the above two models seem to mostly be about exploring the same space that everyone else does, and that kind of thing has a tendency to run out after a while and can be limited in how often they give you unique experiences. (It could be a physical carefully-constructed space in the game you're exploring, or the space of possible ways a Counterstrike match can play out, etc.) I think it's important to recognize in a game when you've finished exploring the space of the game and now only re-treading familiar ground, and to decide if you're still getting something out of that. When thinking about designing games, I wonder a lot about how to make the experience space wide and avoiding having long-time players only be re-tread familiar experiences.
It’s been a self-hosted products for over a decade in the form of Visual SourceSafe and then TFS (wonky TFVC not withstanding; Git support was added a while ago as well), now living on as Azure DevOps Server.
I've carried around a certain kind of disappointment about video games ever since I was a kid. I knew I really liked them as a concept, but few stuck and I liked reading game magazines more.

I started playing TTRPGs like D&D with some friends about a year and a half ago. They feel closer to the ideal of what my brain wants from at least some kinds of games.

Somewhere between TTRPGs, reading (esp. fiction), and embracing balance (why have I always been looking for "that one thing" that I can put all my time into, anyway?) I feel I get at least some of what I crave from games.
Well right now customers are getting zero value. It’s a bad look to be partying during an all hands on deck emergency.
> Do you suggest he should follow the example of more recent politicians and use his bully pulpit to tell the general population to go buy a $50k electric car

He should have punched up and told the auto industry to produce more efficient ICE cars and EVs to help regular Americans save money on gas. Instead, he weakened the CAFE standard [1].

And he should have advocated for more tax credits for lower income people to buy more efficient vehicles (paid for by higher taxes on high income people).

>I'm not necessarily a Hikaru fan, but I enjoyed his post-game recaps after the grand prix matches, because that type of analysis isn't something any other top level players are going to do for fear of revealing some weaknesses that opponents can seize upon (and believe me... Hikaru's opponent's teams will be scouting those videos). However, not caring can only get you so far as the level of competition increases.

Almost all of these players are on equal footing if they are given unlimited time do digest their matches after the fact. Hikarus opponents are likely gaining nothing watching him analyze his matches, as they all do it equally well.

The top GMs are made by those that can make these decisions during a match, and who can compute these faster. Given enough time, every match would be a draw

It's like the six-sigma result of CERN OPERA experiment showing neutrinos travaling slightly faster than speed of light - which was ultimately caused by a fiber cable between clocks not being fully tightened and thus causing a tiny delay and messing up the measurements.

"Naka won't be able to rely on winning the rapid against any of Ian, Duda, Alireza, Ding, Rapport or even Caruana,"

Remember way back in 2021 when Hikaru won the St. Louis Rapid and Blitz? Going undefeated in the entire event ahead of Caruana, Rapport, So, Mamedyarov...

Furthermore, Hikaru has always outplayed Nepo. His lifetime record against him including rapid/blitz is 19 to 12, with 29 draws.

Hikaru also drastically out performs Duda: 26 to 9, with 17 draws.
> This is straight up false because you know a priori that the chance is 50-50. It’s gamblers fallacy if you know the events are independent.

Oh. You know a priori.

How?

How do you test a coin to determine if it’s unbiased?

How do you test a roulette wheel?

If we took a coin that you ‘know’ a priori is unbiased, and we flipped it a million time, and it came up 98% heads, would you still stubbornly claim the next flip is just as likely heads as tails? I doubt it… at some point (probably a lot sooner than a million throws) you would begin to perceive a possibility that your a priori belief was wrong. That’s the issue… is it rational, at some point, to doubt your a prior belief? If the answer is yes for a run of 183,829 heads, then it must also be yes — although with much less confidence — for a run if 8 heads. Or 5 hesds. Or even 2.
Play Rust, it will destroy your faith in humanity.
The fact that you think this indicates you are part of the problem.

I see plenty of conservative view points on twitter that no one complains about. What I see is occasional bouts of people making sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, or just generally bigoted comments. Then claiming that people calling them out are attacking them because they're conservative.
This is the attitude I think the author should be writing about. It should be that you love your partner, even with their trivial flaws.

The glass was never the real issue. It’s a sign for the relationship going off the rails. Not a sign that the author should just put the glass away blindly. It might be a sign that the author can listen more. Or it could be a sign that the woman doesn’t love him enough, or frankly isn’t capable, of letting the little things go. The glass is just the tip of the iceberg.

The one that I use daily is hackerer.news for showing the day's posts not mixed up with popular posts from yesterday. I first made it so I could see all the titles while in the subway and load stories to read when stopped at stations along the commute to the office. Now I work from home but still use it as it saves so much time and visits. I think it gets some regular visits from others but that wasn't my motivation. If you click the date heading it does load yesterday's stories.
Maybe it's not worth targeting those users directly, and instead you should target the intermediaries who have the volume (e.g. estate agents for home buying).

Customers unable to access the product they paid for, for over a week with very little communication, are not experiencing success.

These are the kind of incidents where parties and celebrations are put on hold and everyone does what they can to help, regardless of department or title.
What about the scenario where things get better and you stay? That's a win for everyone.
It's cool that you do that, but "Doesn't everyone?" implies to me that you might be a bit out of touch. This is common among a certain type of person and unheard of for everybody else.
The article on The Verge looks like it's about mobile phones, i.e., pocket-sized computers meant to be operated with touchscreens. Granted, today we can plug tactile USB keyboards into some of these "phones" and we have options like Termux, but the subject here, unlike the The Verge article, is command line programs.

Maybe no one besides me ever actually said those exact words with respect to command line programs. What did happen is someone wrote that he found user interfaces on command line programs are not "good" interfaces. He then suggested that writing command line programs that did not have to parse options could be a "security" tactic when programming. See "5. Don't parse" in the text file below.

Do you live here? Do you see the math in my post? Outcomes are horrible. Families can’t afford to exist.
The advantages of four wheel steering at driving speeds are largely (completely?) negated by active traction control (supplying power and breaking to each wheel independently). You're not going to see a car turn its wheels 90 degrees because of both the large space needed (the cavity for the wheel to turn in) plus the complexity of linkages that can handle that amount of turning.

This idea might make more sense today than it did back in the day because you can put a small electric hub-motor on the fifth wheel. Downside is that cars are far heavier now than in the 30s so you'd need a beefier lift for the fifth wheel.

[edit]

Looks like Porsche and Renault offer 4-wheel steering in their high-end cars today, which suggest I am wrong about active traction control completely negating the advantages at high speeds.
