I accidentally tapped (I'm on mobile) after the solution showed up and it went away, and now l have no idea what it was :(

Wordle will show the result until the next day on refresh, you may want to do that to.

It's an interesting concept, but I think it lacks the "I'm getting closer" feeling from wordle because the "color grammar" is not so straightforward, i.e. I get 6 combinations that were close to the end result starting from different inputs. Maybe restrict to rainbow colors and use more inputs?

This way you can think "I need more red" or something like that.

> To this day, I believe these new leaders had a fundamental misunderstanding of what problem Uber’s SRE organization was solving (enabling bottoms-up organization with highly fluid priorities that weren’t resolved into a single priority list anywhere to function successfully), viewing it instead from the lens of their previous experience. As a result, SRE quickly shifted from an embedded model to a very different model.

> The name was unchanged, but it was soon a very different team. That unchanged name concealed the beginning of a significant leadership and cultural shift

Unfortunately a very common problem. New person weighs heavily towards their own great experience previously, fails to understand new org and its problems.

One of the best infrastructure managers I worked with shared their approach with me: the first 6 months, they would go to all the team leaders for the teams they served and listen to the problems they faced. No solutions were proposed. Just understand the pain points first, develop solutions after learning those.

I often wonder if we should have social scientists study these phenomena and create some guidance so people don’t keep repeating these mistakes.
Debt exists for a reason. It allows you to defer the cost of something, while enjoying the benefits sooner.

Tech debt is the same - it allows for benefits sooner, but at a price later on.

Let's say you have a new idea. You can spent 10x effort to make version 1 perfect or 1x effort (with 9x technical debt) to make something good enough.

Sure it might have brittle code, sure it might crash a bit, sure the interface is a bit inconsistent, and there are no docs, but hey it works - does anyone care enough to pay got it?

The 1x approach gets to market fast, helps determine if there even _is_ a market at all.

If the project is successful then the tech debt has to be "paid" in re-architecting, refactoring and in some cases rewriting.

If it is unsuccessful then no harm done, just move on.

There's definitely a place in an early project for moving quickly, there's definitely a place in a mature project for moving slowly, but getting everything right. The real trick is figuring out when to switch - the later you do it the more debt you accumulate. Too soon and you waste resources that may be needed more critically elsewhere.

The big problem of course are places where they never pay down the debt - until the whole thing collapses, and you're best off just throwing it all away - which you can't do because there are a bunch of paying users so you just keep hobbling along.

Avoiding tech debt altogether is expensive in money and time. But assuming you have both of those, then yes, tech debt can be avoided. (at least for now, no-one can predict what new things might exist tomorrow.)
By far the most important martial arts skill is the ability to function effectively after receiving a powerful blow to the face, solar plexus, etc. The only way to develop this skill is by practicing it; very few people do, for obvious reasons. If your martial arts training does not include this, it may have many benefits, but is severely lacking as training for actual fighting.

The second point means that some predicate on locally constructed and held data that is true before calling a function with that data as parameters, may not be true after return from a call.

These two "features" of a language make language hard to use. Instead of thinking about bigger things, you think about whether you may have NULL or not in this variable after that call to that function.

In my not so humble opinion, taking OCaml and bolting on it type constructors (monads for hand-made channels, software transactional memory, etc, and even more than monads) could been better choice than reimplementing Simula on Plan 9, poorly. And I do not like OCaml at all.

As per "unimportant cog" argument, I can only say that some companies recognize(d) talents in different areas. AFAIR, IBM used to have parallel ladders for officing-oriented and engineering people, with comparable salaries on comparable levels. I believe it is a good thing.
> But this particular part of it is not problematic.

It absolutely is problematic. This is a description of rape, there is no point in discussing the hypothetical including whether the man "acquires" the woman (as if she were property), otherwise.

The authors are entertaining this hypothetical because men have used absurd excuses for rape for a very long time.

The Talmud is quite clear here that in this case, the rape is not the worst part of the events.
Going to be very real, I do not really have more than an inkling of the "world" PW inherits or whatever, but this sounds like "trust us, this time it's okay." I might need a little more convincing this isn't just another attempt to recreate a "universal framework that covers everyone's use cases." (I won't like the obvious reference)
> Yes there exist special, tuned GCs (e.g., Azul's C4, Shenandoah) but Java GCs have to really be super clever compared to the fairly simple strategies that work in Go;

It doesn't matter at the end, when those GCs work. There's also ZGC by the way, which has been consistently improving release over release, with sub ms pauses in the latest release for TB sized heaps, something that golang's gc cannot match.

> I applaud the ingenuity in Java GC work, but if what you care about is "reasonably good at collecting memory, never pauses for long", the Go language decisions made the GC problem easier.

Now if you want to have high throughput and willing to sacrifice some latency, Java's GC selection allows you to do that. Where as in golang you're stuck with the single gc implementation and have to resort to finicky code changes.
White dwarfs and neutron stars are both "stellar corpses", the remnant of stars. White dwarfs roughly cram the Sun's mass into an Earth-sized sphere, neutron stars cram that amount of mass into a sphere of about 10km diameter.

Oh, and neutron stars have mountains: height differences on their crust of a few centimeters or less. Scaling that height difference takes more energy than scaling Mount Everest. Gravity is weird.

That's the puzzling thing. While the author doesn't explicitly call out Rust as the better alternative, if you look at his Twitter, it's fairly obvious his community is thinking of Rust. But I don't understand why. They're different languages with different strengths and weaknesses. If I'm writing a net service I'd rather write it in Go. If I'm writing something in OpenGL, I'd rather write it in Rust. There's no need to insult one another.
I watched a piano/music teaching video from the 60s yesterday that made it all "click" [1]

Most modern music chords patterns are easy to find out on piano.

Start on any of the white keys, and play 7 white keys left to right. That is called a mode: a series of notes separated by certain intervals to compose a song.

Different modes have different vibes. Atmosphere of the song ( sad or happy) is directly correlated by how "willing" the notes are to resolve to the mode root (the first key of 7 you hit).

Now, take a 1-3-5 grip on the white keys (press one key, skip one, press one, skip one, press one). That is called the first chord. Move one to the right, and do it again. That is the second chord. One more to the right is the third etc.

Most popular songs are composed by using mostly the same repeating chord patterns:

- 1-5-1-4 (first, fifth, first, fourth)

- 1-4-5

- 1-5-6-4

If you experiment a little bit with this, you will instantly recognize a lot of songs, although they might be pitched higher or lower.

One step further, is learning different chord fingerings: we started with 1-3-5 which mostly results in a major or minor chord in a mode.

- 5th chords are 1-5

- 7th chords are 1-3-5-7

- sus2 is 1-2-5

- sus4 is 1-4-5

- etc

Now, the next thing you need to learn is to transpose: move songs up or down one or more keys to the left or right, but also taking into account the black keys when moving up/down. This will allow you to play along with a song in the perfect key (starting note of a scale)

There's other things (like modulating modes in songs), but this should give you a headstart.

I'd much rather lose a job than a partner of 7 years! Or do you mean another part of that experience?
> But at the same time, the people that are doing fine with autistic traits are no less autistic.

I’d question that statement. People with BAP (broad autism phenotype) have autistic traits and are doing fine with them, but by definition are “less autistic” than people with ASD. A lot of people with other psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, can have significant autistic traits as symptoms of that other disorder (the symptomatic overlap between ASD and schizophrenia is much larger than many people appreciate, although it is believed that the similar symptoms nonetheless are caused by rather different processes) and obviously are not “doing fine”, but nonetheless are in a very real sense “less autistic” than a person with an actual ASD diagnosis

> (Also, Asperger's has ceased existing a while ago)

That’s not really true; the DSM-IV still exists, and professionals are still free to use it if they wish. Our son’s psychiatrist told me that he still sometimes gives children DSM-IV Asperger’s diagnoses if the parents feel particularly uncomfortable with the label of “autism” inherent in DSM-5 ASD.
well, I think that if you are aware (mindfulness) about your thought patterns you can steer them, and usually what you think you become, because your thoughts drive actions.

In my personal experience practicing self awareness has helped with this. I understand that there are factors outside of our control, but what goes on within us can be controlled to some extent with effort and time.

That doesn't make sense; "non-Jew" is also Othering. The only difference between the two is one is the term a Jew has used and one is the term you want them to use. That isn't a reasonable distinction; in fact given the lack of distinction the attempt to erode Jewish culture as a distinct thing may in itself be rather objectionable depending on who you ask. Mainly because it is pressuring a minority culture.

You aren't drawing a distinction here to show why your word is kosher and the term gentile isn't.
I doubt point 1), pls enlighten me. When a commercial bank receive interest from bonds from a central bank, it can then take out the proportion of 'real money' it put in before. Say, I'm BofA, I put in 10b as compulsory lock (my laymen term), I use some other money to buy bonds and receive interest, say, 200m. Then if that 200m goes to my reserve, I'd have 10.2b, which is 200m above the compulsory lock, then I can take that 200m out and use for business. Money doesn't have the label 'old money, can use' vs 'newly-printed money, can't use', does it?

Minor edit: adding missing 'take' (in 'take that')
IMHO I think part of the problem is that there's been a shift in how degrees are interpreted. It used to be someone wasn't equated with their degree so closely, like a branding. The idea of a liberal arts degree was not to be unknowledgeable about STEM, but diversified.

Now you have automated HR depts and someone is equated with their degree one way or another. It's not really that different from ads for knowledge of particular programming library, when the potential hire clearly could pick it up in a week based on their other experiences.

This isn't all of it of course but I do think people tend to be treated as objects, no more or less than their degrees or certifications to a greater extent than the past. It's the dark side of meritocracy in my opinion, which is a horrendous mislabel.

Sometimes I feel as if we live in a world of formalized stereotyping, where the stereotypes have shifted from race and sex to some extent, to political, employment, and degree stereotypes.

I just gave you an example from the top of my head. Here is another more realistic one, which occurred to me during the time I wrote a toy JVM: a Java class file contains a constant pool with different kinds of types. During the loading process this pool can be references by other entities as well, but they require the necessary type. Assuming verified byte code, this will be the case, but if we care about verification as well then you will quickly get into the situation where you simply can’t handle “during the loading of this class’s nth method, one of the constant pool references were of incorrect type”. It can’t be handled at method loading (or even more nested), and panicking is not the correct behavior (you only don’t want to load the given class). So you have to manually bubble it up for no benefit.

This is a quote from the parent comment where you state that NNs with periodic activations can't represent non periodic functions.

This makes sense and fits with what I understand to be the general 2/3 owner occupied properties and 1/3 rental properties ratio. I never thought though that this was what was essentially being referred to as the 'homeownership rate'.

It has always bothered me that the naive interpretation (i.e. that it refers to individuals and not properties) is so often used in political discussion (e.g. "2/3 of voters are home owners").

I am really curious what proportion of people actually own a home. Is it even a majority?

My pi seems very particular about which USB adapter I use. If I use the canna-kit provided one, it works great. If I use any lower amperage, it down throttles and shows that power fault icon in the upper right corner of the screenbuffer.

The odroid N2 came with a fantastic OEM case that acts as a giant heatsink and easy slide cover, not to mention full size hdmi (I lost my special mini hdmi plug for my pi4) and all of the ports are on the same side!
