Will there be a massive review process every time someone updates the vendored dependencies? Or will each dependency change be reviewed one release increment at a time?

What happens if a dependency adds a system call something? Libraries intended for kernel-friendly use cases really need that scope to be an intentional goal.
I mean, the same reason why you'd want the newest of anything. Stuff on the top gets out of date. Even in the context of a comment thread, I'd want the latest comment in the thread, etc.

Not to mention with threads you waste time reading things over and over again.
I'm definitely not even close to a statistician, but I'm also having a hard time accepting this analysis.

I'll admit that part of it also comes from personal experience, at work and elsewhere. I've met some catastrophically incompetent people were completely oblivious to their own incompetence, and this has very often felt like that the more incompetent they were, the more likely they were to be try to do stuff that was waaaay out of their comfort zone, which would make even experienced, competent people tread carefully.

But even ignoring personal experiences, I'm not convinced by the arguments either. I understand what they are saying, but I don't see how this disproves the DK effect.

Even if everyone is equally bad at estimating their own skill, so that their estimate is essentially a completely random variable, then we would expect the self-assessment score average to be around 50. If I understand it correctly, this is essentially what figure 9 is demonstrating.

But that figure still says that worse performers are then likely to overestimate their own ability, just as much as it says that better performers are bad at it.

If we look at the original DK figure and contrast it with figure 9 with random data, then I think one way of interpreting the differences is that, yes, worse performers are indeed bad at self-assessment, but they're just kind of bad at it as if their self-assessment is a completely random variable. It then seems to keep being essentially random but as people's skills improve, the distance between their score and their self-assessment becomes a bit tighter.. so in conclusion: most people are pretty bad at self-assessment, but skilled people are a bit less so.

The end result is still that people in the bottom quartiles are going to over-estimate their own ability.

I don't know, maybe this is way out in the weeds. Please school me.
This one[1]. To be clear I haven't read the book. However, I have read quite a bit of his articles and watched his talks all of which I highly recommend.

The crux of the argument is simple enough. One should attach more weightage to opinions of who have stake in what they talking about. For instance, an a bond trader will have more realistic picture of economy than someone like Paul Krugman. Bond trader earns his wages by being more correct about economy. Paul Krugman on the other hand can change his opinion at the drop of a hat with zero negative impact to his earnings.

It's double edges all the way around. "shared background" has certainly been the cause of a lot of harm. It's one of those things that people want, but which is bad, like "Everything be more efficient if everyone would stop wasting time on their own different ideas and just did what I want.". There are no single simple correct answers.

The opposite - the publishing pressure makes experts overconfident in their abilities. The non-experts then assume that the experts, for sure, know better, so they don't look for flaws.
Man, when are these supposedly reputable publications going to get editors for their online material? (Or hire writers who know and practice basic grammar?) The total lack of any proofreading is just ridiculous.

I think the YC mantra applies, even to code: "Build something people want"

If your personal work isn't something that anyone is interested in, if it isn't something they want or can at least envisage someone wanting, then they're unlikely to spend time looking at it and offering genuine feedback.

If all you're doing is scratching your own itch, and nobody else has that itch, then don't expect any feedback at all, even the sympathy variety.

This is more plausible for a language with a runtime like Python. But Rust is fundamentally designed to be a systems language where you have full access to everything (and, if you use unsafe, raw access to memory and arbitrary code execution). It’s hard to imagine how you’d add a sandboxing layer to the language, it seems more like something the OS would have to do for you.

In the commodities world it's expected that Goldman's physical position is the opposite of what would be expected from their analysis. It's also worth pointing out that it's perfectly reasonable for a forecast to be very different to a current price due to price being a function of time and different risks and time horizons involved.

I think a worthy addendum to (1.) is to review the 'default' subreddits that your new account is auto-subscribed to (unsure what the current list is, but probably stuff like /r/news, /r/funny, /r/videos...) and unsubscribe from the ones you don't/won't like.

Reddit of course has its issues but by working through and around them it's still an amazing site - not because of its features or politics but because of the discussions and communities i.e. users of the site. The default subreddits are generally awful though.

I use the RES extension on my PC and the Reddit Sync app on my phone and would recommend both.

"for one consisting of a few mass produced, single sourced things."

Clay Shirky made the point that something like the Internet expands the total number of offerings available to one person while decreasing the total number of offerings available overall. He hints at this in his essay on powerlaws:

He went into greater detail in a later essay, but that later essay now seems to be offline.

33k people is less than what Ukraine had deployed before the war started.

Countries bordering Russia have very few actively deployed forces. Sweden has 750 ground troops "ready for deployment and sustained operations". Seven hundred and fifty. Finland has ~1750.

Those decentralized troops have to get to the conflict zones first.

Always the same "arguments".

Spend time with your real friends instead of your coworkers, get out of the house on your own, nobody is forcing you to stay inside just because you don't have to go to an office. Work from a coworking space, distributed/remote doesn't mean everybody at home.

It's crazy to see how unhealthy people's life can be when work is the only thing they have.
Thanks for introducing me to the term "half-life of knowledge".

> An engineering degree went from having a half life of 35 years in ca. 1930 to about 10 years in 1960. A Delphi Poll showed that the half life of psychology as measured in 2016 ranged from 3.3 to 19 years depending on the specialty, with an average of a little over 7 years.

This is very interesting and makes me wonder what it is for tech careers, e.g. web devs, data scientists etc.
Expected is different from rigidly and widely enforced.
Someone who has a skill=0 can not underestimate and someone with a skill=100 can not overestimate. So by the framing of the question alone the participants are nudged to estimate there own skill "more averagely".
Ah yes! I completely the parent's point. I would actually like something like that.

My current approach is to use a directory.build.props file in the folder where I clone into (i.e. outside of all the repos), and use it to set the package output path to a local folder and timestamp the package version. That way every build creates a new package to test locally, but I still have to update the references in the dependent projects when testing (and build everything separately).

Not particularly happy with it, but I don't have to manage that many shared dependencies either.

I wonder if a precompile target has enough access to tinker with the references? I.e. remove items from the PackageReferences item group, and create corresponding ProjectReference items. Probably will need to also call the MSBuild build task on those projects too so they can have a fresh build in case any changes have been made in them too.

But yes, it would be great if Microsoft supplied something for that.
> I wonder if those stories are really true.

Me too, I strongly suspect it is just a rumour or urban legend. I can't find any reliable sources that could name a vendor or model number of TVs that do this. And it is not like it would be hard to prove/verify for tech-journalists, yet there has been no credible report of it.

I do, however, think that there are quite some TVs out there that will just refuse to work if you don't connect them/shut of the internet. But if you get one of those, just return it to the store.
There is a DC barrel plug for charging too.

The USB-C port is Thunderbolt 4. I think that means it should support DP too, but don't take my word for it. USB-C/Thunderbolt confuse me.
Why is your comment so gender-specific ?

In this current example we don't know anything about their couple history or dynamics.

And going from "she didn't want us to move abroad" to men not expecting their partner "having any opinion" is a strawman.
> Unskilled people are more random with their self assessment than skilled

This is a statistical claim, supported by the DK graph (but not the random data thought experiment from the article).

> It has nothing to do with unskilled people thinking that they know everything

This reads to me as a claim about the psychological reason for the statistical pattern, which I don't think is either supported nor contradicted by data, both in the article and in the original paper.
Please don't take this the wrong way, but is there a tl;dr? Often these "self-help" books are the same concept repeated for 200 pages that can be summed up in a paragraph.

I bought a 58 inch samsung tv in 2016 for around 250 euro. 1080p, barebone no smart features, two hdmi ports and two usb 2.0 ports. I wouldn't give it up even if someone payed me double today. It works as intended and that's all I care about. I use it daily. Yes, color vise it's a TN lcd panel so about as good as it can be expected but none of that matters because you simply get used to it.

I haven't checked but I think you could probably still find something bare-bone today it's just that people want the greatest shit and don't want to settle for less. Maybe try something that isn't OLED or 4K and you might be surprised...
I think its the google centric view of the article. All the perks google offer in their offices are tools to keep you in the office longer. Stay for the Gym, stay for Dinner or come in early for lunch. Considering that its naturally that they expect your social circle to be mostly other google employees.
Well it's exactly what happened in this case. The user got a sort of warning fatigue with the UX and familiarity with it made it easy to do without much internal debate.

But I think some other UI flaws contribute to that in this case.

Comfort with a UI means eventually you want it to get out of your way and your brain will do what it needs to streamline the process. At which point those elements intended to break the flow of the app no longer do.

Good discussion of the problem:

https://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/44609/how-do-i-avoid-...

My takeaways are as follows:

The best thing to do is provide undo. Then you can reduce the hoops people have to jump through because the consequences are less severe.

Simplify the modal so the text about what will happen stands independently enough to be parsec on first glance.

Show quantified data on what could happen. Instead of "you will lose all followers" which is true for any app, display "you will lose all 54,318 followers"

All that's need is a handful of passing loops and modern signalling. It's how we in Scotland got the railway from Edinburgh to Tweedbank re-opened (part of the old Waverley route from Edinburgh to Carlisle that was closed during the Beeching cuts).

I wholeheartedly agree. I love Rust, it's the most fun I've had with any programming language (barring perhaps Haskell). But I still run cargo in offline mode with crates.io disabled, pointing cargo to /usr/share/cargo/registry for dependencies (that's where Debian's librust-*-dev packages get installed, the only dependencies I accept in my Rust projects).
As soon as I saw Python, I knew they were using orjson.

The title of this post is incorrect. It should simply be the title of the Colab notebook, "The fastest tools for querying large JSON datasets". While SPyQL is the fastest tool, it's not written entirely in Python.

I think we need to distinguish a television as a hardware device, and what here we would call "cable channels".

If you have a family, tv is not a necessity per se but a convenient norm. It allows more than one person to watch the Disney or Netflix show or movie, or even a DVD if your inclinations are toward vintage antiques ;-)

I agree that I have not watched a cable channel in more than a decade.

The comment section isn't a zero-sum game. The fact that alternatives to the x86 are brought up in the comments section could be useful for many people, it might not be for you, but it is for many people.

Only for Westerners Soviet == Russian, which puzzles me absolutely.
That TV is still smart by my standards. It runs Tizen, features something called "Samsung Workplace" (which "supports wireless cloud service access"), and has WiFi (whether or not this WiFi connection can be used by Samsung to update the OS is not specified, but I would think it is likely).

I don't get some people's obsession with equality in every aspects of life...
But if there are no dumb TVs for sale, how do you know if that's the consumer's desire or not?

The much simpler explanation is that TVs plastered with ads and surveillance are more profitable to companies.
Even projectors these days are becoming "smart". Though they tend to still be the exception currently, I suspect they will soon be tough to avoid.
Encoding would add latency and it is not free. A single frame in 4k UHD 10-bits takes more than 10Mb (1/3 of the L3 cache on modern CPUS).
My point is that at the end you won't have any place left to go, especially if a large part of the population behaves like you. No resistance whatsoever will make life much easier for invaders, so there will be more of them all around the world. The solution is not to flee, it's to eradicate the idea of prevailing using force or indoctrination.

I think the issue is more about the lack of true diversity. Look at music for example - to achieve global success, bands all over the world need to start using western rhytms and melodies, losing the very things that made them unique.

Yes, sure, everything is about a lack of diversity. You might want to look some more into musical theory and where those twelves notes, rhythms and melodies originate from in the first place.

Not that there's no innovation in niches, but those never reach the highlight.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_music

Starting with the 60s hippies who need a haircut got rather into Indian stuff. In the 80s you had an African wave with the likes of Paul Simon. Peter Gabriel was all over the map. Hardly niche. All of this comes and goes, and comes round again. A lot of the biggest stars at the moment are not from the US/West.

I didn't say it works for everyone, I explained why people take the risk, what the macro backdrop is for this behavior. It's quite disappointing that nobody engages with that point.

Further, getting rich at somebody's expense is business as usual for any asset, be they stocks, housing, metals, anything. It's a false morality to think that this is a behavior that "good" people widely reject. Absolutely everybody in a position to do so, will. Have you ever met a home owner that gives a social discount to his inflated house when selling? I don't think so.

Modern releases of GCC still support C89. If rustc, at least, will keep supporting 1.0 features for all future releases, I guess that's fine.

But that also means that crates used by the kernel would need to likewise be conservative about updating to new Editions so as to not break expected support surfaces.
Afaik the difference between whats called a "monitor" and whats called a "TV" nowadays is that..

TV's show a compressed or upscaled image.
TV's have much higher latency.

And thats why something called a monitor is so much more expensive for the same size display.
As living in a country neighbouring Russia (Finland) I find very little at fault with the article.

I don't think your critique opposes the article as such - you provide the background information that generally Economist excpects it's readers to already have.

I think this quote from the article is very correct.

"the world Mr Putin desires would be far more decadent, self-serving and amoral than the one that exists today."

The concepts in the article are complex, and yes, it's more of a statement of sentiment than deep policy analysis (those take hundreds of pages).

this whole article looks to me as though it started out from a conclusion, then pulled together a bunch of unrelated facts to paint a completely incoherent picture.

Generally that's the whole point of Economist - their authors strive to digest a complex event and at least attempt to condense it to a brief article. I would love if they would cite all of the references used in an article but alas it is not so.

Economist is also declared itself politically very partial to the liberal world view, so it's not something that they hide. You go to the Economist to get the liberal take on things - you don't need to like it, but you are not deceived by the authors motivation as it is very clear.
How do you get the idea that everyone is getting rich? That's not the case in any market.
