This is basically correct, but I'd refine it a bit, and note that it's about opportunity cost for the victim to pursue justice being much higher than the upside of a victory. This is a side-effect of a justice system that prices most people out of using it effectively. Interestingly, this failure of the justice system is responsible for a lot of today's "cultural" problems, but for some reason it never gets named as the underlying factor.

I am disappointed to see established creators who never engaged in click-bait are (probably under duress) resorting to click bait titles and thumbnails now. Unsubscribed from two so far this week, and once I get down to zero I can quit YouTube.
It makes far more sense to assume threat actors are commercial malware authors rather than toy projects, since that's the reality in the world.
China’s Tech Crackdown Could Give It an Edge
I thought so at first. My personal experience was different though.
By no means is it a breaking issue, but it's one of quite a few issues which make it very difficult, at least in my experience, to convince anyone from services that do have them (typically Discord) to use it.

It's hard to speak in earnest about the benefits of Matrix when you know the people you're talking to will immediately view it as a downgrade, and from the user's perspective in many ways won't even be wrong.
If you already have a lot of domain logic in Python for your backend, that would make it easier to write a frontend living in the same codebase. (For example, imagine a framework for autogenerating forms for your Django models; this already exists server-side, but native client-side Python would give you more options. And if your framework owns both the client and server, it could autogenerate the API so you don’t even need to write one for happy-path usecases.)

If you are already using Python on the backend, not having to hire/train a completely different skill set/stack is appealing. Sure, the browser and CSS/HTML specialism is going to remain, but not having to split your team by JS vs <backend-language> would make it much easier for a team to collaborate and share work.

I think Python in the browser only has to be “almost as good” in a direct comparison for it to actually win out as the best choice organizationally for many teams.
Quick pdb trick for pipe-ers, you can stick this in the middle:

.pipe(lambda df: (df, pdb.set_trace())[0])
I wonder if there is a case to be made for a patch branch that gets all PRs. Then the maintainer can do any further tweaks needed before merging down to mainline.
Definitely want to enable this use case better. I think it will be quite easy to have a "you're viewing your project, you search for a function named 'curl fetch' and it turns up both the Python and C++ method named that"-type experience.

Linking between the two may be tougher (showing you with confidence they're related), but maybe possible for us to do something there, not sure yet.
This version of "professionalism" has the stereotypical West Coast problem: the message it claims to be sending gets not only lost in translation, but distorted into something more superficially inoffensive, but underneath that, more opaque and manipulative. It encourages indirection and avoidance rather than respectful candor.

Let's start with the first example. The polite way to say "you are overcomplicating this" is "I think this could be simpler". Not "let's concentrate on initial scope", which isn't remotely the same thing in general. The latter is less generally applicable (how do we know there was an initial scope?), less specific (why stick to initial scope?), and more prescriptive ("let's do this" instead of "I listened to your idea and this is what I think of it").

Now, being less specific and more prescriptive may be some people's idea of effective self-interested corporate behavior, since it works to minimize your vulnerabilities and maximize the obligations of others. But I think communication is more meaningful, effective, and respectful if you explain how you evaluate others' ideas (which implies you at least gave them the respect of listening) before just telling them what to do.

They're not all bad though! I definitely think "that's a horrible idea" is productively replaced with some version of "I have these concerns" or "I think there may be better alternatives". It's generally good to avoid terms that communicate nothing but negative affect and instead communicate whatever ideas that prompted the negative affect.

EDIT: another comment mentions Power-Distance Index, which is part of a broader cultural dimensions theory. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofstede%27s_cultural_dimens...

Apparently I have a very strong preference for low PDI culture, as do most of you. But it's good to be aware that that's not universal and our style may require adaptation for success with diverse audiences.

For me, the charge port at the bottom is a clear case of design being more important than functionality. Of course, if you're the kind of person that always remembers to charge their mouse before the battery runs out, it's not an issue for you, but for the "rest of us", having the option to charge it and use it at the same time would sure be handy...
That’s because of design flaws in how Android handles third party keyboards that iOS has mitigations against for third party keyboards

1. They don’t have network access by default. It’s not a simple confirmation screen to enable network access. You have to go into settings

2. Apps can explicitly disallow third party keyboards for password entry.

3. Keyboards run out of process from the app.

And yes, iOS has extensibility support for third party password managers.
1/4 of the time and <7% does not make it impossible. In fact thats kinda the whole point of RNG.
> There is no criminality here.

Fraud is a crime. Criminal copyright infringement is a crime.

If amazon were to take your money and not deliver, and it can be proven they did so intentionally, never intended to deliver, they would face criminal charges for fraud.

If Disney, as is alleged here, is "willfully and for purposes of commercial advantage or private financial gain"[0] using other people's works, that's criminal copyright infringement.

They say they have the right to exploit these works commercially through contracts, but at the same time say the contracts do not apply to them. So either the contracts do not apply, in which case they have no right to commercial exploitation and therefore commit criminal copyright infringement, or the contracts do apply and they are criminally defrauding the authors.

You might want to add a -sea to that search, as it's mostly sea turtles. Heavily photographed, but not nearly as common as other kinds of turtles.

I agree with the sentiment though.
Just edit it to 'value="mypassword"' directly.
Author here, happy to answer any questions.

Diet256 is a centrally coordinated, densely connected overlay network, implementing the INET256 spec. It's the same simple INET256 API, but without any of the peering or routing configuration to manage. Diet256 makes all its connections over The Internet using QUIC and uses a central server to discover the IP address of peers.

Diet256 can be run as a daemon, providing a INET256 API over gRPC compatible with the reference implementation and tools. It can also be used as a Go library directly.
My experience is that they make a big difference, but you have to set them to be quite strong in order for them to do so. So much so that for example the built in feature on mac/ios isn't strong enough even at the maximum configurable strength! However, 3rd party apps like f.lux on mac or twilight on android can set the redness much stronger at which point it really does make a difference.
What’s the likely outcome of doing so?* Why are you saying it? To show you were right? To make them feel stupid for not listening to you? How will you feel afterwards? How will they feel? How will that likely affect your interactions with them in the future?

Maybe you're fine with the likely outcome. But maybe not.

* And there’s a distinction between what’s likely to happen and what you think should happen. They’re not always the same thing.
I'm not sure how well this generalizes.

I'm a Machine Learning Engineer, and that seems to check all those boxes. It is niche, it has low offer, and crazy high demand. Sure, salaries are high, but the interview process isn't easier, in fact is way harder. As an MLE I need to excel both as a software engineer (yes, that includes leetcode), and in MLE/science/data science.

For example, the last position I entertained included a phone screen and then 4 rounds: behavioral, coding, machine learning expertise, and a science round, where I was given a problem, had to find 2 papers and make a presentation explaining my approach to solve the problem using the ideas from the papers.

At this rate I'm considering leaving Machine Learning altogether, since the barrier to entry is too high for the people already in.
Regarding the title with "technocrats" reminded me of Bret Victor referring to it as a "designer aristocracy" - http://worrydream.com/#!/DynamicPicturesMotivation (2011 , mentioned later on in the essay)

--

The 2011 Bret Victor essay: "I spent a few years hanging around various UI design groups at Apple, and I met brilliant designers, and these brilliant designers could not make real things. They could only suggest. They would draw mockups in Photoshop, maybe animate them in Keynote, maybe add simple interactivity in Director or Quartz Composer. But the designers could not produce anything that they could ship as-is. Instead, they were dependent on engineers to translate their ideas into lines of text. Even at Apple, a designer aristocracy like no other, there was always a subtle undercurrent of helplessness, and the timidity and hesitation that come from not being self-reliant."

--

The 2022 NYT article "technocrats triumphed at apple": "Mr. Ive’s absence, the designers say that they collaborate more with colleagues in engineering and operations and face more cost pressures than they did previously."
I will type up all the review comments first, then...

If I expect or hope the contributor to become a long-term collaborator, I will submit the comments and wait for them to fix it. I'd rather they learn

If I don't expect them to stay around, I'll make the changes, force-push to their branch keeping their authorship, submit the comments, and let them know what I did and link to the diff caused by just the force push. I'll then ask them if it's OK and let the PR sit for a few days or until they respond, then I'll merge it.

The more of your expectations you can automate or at least document (e.g. in CONTRIBUTING.md) the easier it is.
You clearly haven't sat in front of bright blue light when you were feeling sleepy. I have a SAD light, and it's about as good as a coffee at waking me up.
I wonder if the people speaking this way in corporate settings just don’t know how to do better?

A good deal of corporate culture is people just following the patterns they see around them to conform. A good deal of culture change is just proudly, kindly, and confidently demonstrating how to do better - and having epic patience to wait for people to take notice and start following you (which might never happen.)
Faux security measure. You could blame the PMs or the customers. Why browsers enable it, I'm not sure.
Zulip currently has better support for public-view chat rooms than Matrix:

AFAIK, Matrix currently only supports this properly via its Gitter network. It’s in progress as a core feature though.
In general, as areas get built up and properties get subdivided, activities that a lot of landowners didn't really have an issue with can start getting clamped down on. Of course, as around where I live, when people start tearing up paths with ATVs, that doesn't help either.
Give all your feedback at once.

Sometimes that just really isn't feasible or efficient. Happens often enough I glance over a PR to see it has code style issues or obvious mistakes in the code or architectural problems. Especially in those last cases, when the implementation still needs to change, I'll just point that out, then later on revisit and do a more thorough review. Because it makes no sense reviewing things which might not even end up in the final PR.
I took a similar approach as radiopaper: everything you say is pre-banned, and only the person you talked to has the sole discretion to lift the ban. during the ban you cannot post again to the same person on the same topic. The other party cannot reply to you without lifting the ban. Once the ban is lifted, everyone else can see it and reply to it.
No. I live in a city with wires but many buses go from the city into the surrounding areas. And to put up wires threw all the lower density areas where people live is just a bad idea.

Modern batteries can go for decades.

A battery based system is far more flexible, you can uses buses all over the place and dynamically adjust routes based on demand.

Overhead wires are also significantly ugly to have in a city.
An Optimist’s Guide to the Future
My understanding is that film companies already do a variation on this, where actors are hired by a shell company that is ""hired"" by the main company to produce the film. Thus, the company that hired the actors (and that they have a %-revenue share contract with) makes little to no profit.
Catching the bad instruction fault on the E-cores and only scheduling the thread on the P-cores would be something that could be added to Linux (there were already third party patches towards that goal) if Intel had not disable the feature entirely.
Wait what? What is the name of the primitive energy generation you refer to?
I am only aware of
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaerobic_glycolysis
And it is too limited:
providing energy for a period ranging from 10 seconds to 2 minutes.
I read "empowered" there and thought, what a ridiculous misstep. They can't even stop themselves from selling their product in a document that's supposed to be a mea culpa, where you can guarantee that many of the readers are pissed off and absolutely not receptive to your marketing.
I’ve been playing around with Zig and could see myself getting into that niche if one develops.
> I am disappointed to see creators who don't even really need to, are resorting to click bait titles and thumbnails now.

Veritasium has a video on clickbait of itself - basically: it works and is more or less necessary to satisfy The Algorithm(tm).

Don't blame your favourite content creators for catering to a wider audience than just you.
Apple’s own wireless trackpad and wireless keyboards work while being plugged in.

I think the sleek visual and ergonomic design specifically resulted in the charge port being put on the bottom, which resulted in their decision to disable the mouse when it’s charging. Not the other way around.
My python is rusty but IIRC it allows functional stuff (except for expression-only lambdas, boo).

From https://docs.python.org/3/howto/functional.html it's got map/filter/currying and plenty more, what's misting in your view?
I know plenty of apple ecosystem centric people who used an apple mouse and hated that design. So much so they gave up and got another one eventually. It’s clearly a bad design because there is an obvious alternative with no downsides.

A better example though might be the mess that is the design, or rather lack thereof, of the notification system and haphazard gesture meanings in iOS. I use both a Pixel Android and an iPhone, but mainly the iPhone these days and it’s clear that Apple don’t get everything right.
Ah, yep. You're totally right. I didn't even consider server CPUs. Also, I thought I read somewhere that it was for all consumer CPUs starting at Alder Lake, but I have no idea where, so I could be entirely wrong. :)
Mint had a data breach and got my bank account hacked which was the first strike. They’re also owned by intuit.
If someone needed to tell you to check your email, or stop interrupting the meeting, how would you want them to do it? How would you want to have others see you being told that?
This article is from some clown that wrote a book with an opinionated story (this same one) about Apple.

It’s an advertisement for his book and dovetails with NYT’s crazed and rabid need to attack the tech industry that diluted their chokehold on discourse.

There is nothing serious going on here.
Sounds like a good feature
I agree that anyone uttering the entire phrase in isolation comes across as a pretentious douchebag.

But "as per my prediction, revenues were below target again" or "x is not functioning correctly. This does not come as a surprise" is normal enough corporatespeak, and more polite than "I told you so" because it could mean other things.
Polluted air in high density city environments is far more damaging to far more people.

And much of the energy can come from renewables or whatever energy is available for cheap at night.
This topic comes up again and again, and what I’ve noticed is that folks who use the mouse often find that it lasts for months and months without recharging. Folks that like the mouse (myself included) agree that the frequency of charging is very low, while folks that don’t like the mouse will say that it’s unacceptable.
Note that the fixed component is fixed for the life of the bond - so bonds purchased while the fixed rate is 0% will be 0% for the lifetime of the bond.

The rate tied to inflation is set every 6 months (May 1 and November 1), and when you buy a bond, the rate holds for 6 months. So if you bought on April 25, then in October you would get approximately 3.6% of the value of the bonds you bought, and the rate would reset to the current 6 month period, which is expected to be somewhere around 9% when they announce it soon.

You can cash in the bonds after either a year or 15 months (I don't remember for sure), but if you cash them in less than 5 years, you lose 3 months of interest. I'm guessing they don't give you money if you cancel when the rate is negative which can happen.
It's not just content creators. They're involved in events, marketing, and all other sorts of stuff that's dramatically increased the reach of chess. You really can't overstate how much they've done for chess.

I've played online since back in the days of ICC which was a defacto monopoly given how much larger than it was than all other sites. You can see their records here [1]. Their record for the max number of players logged in was 7,352. Chess.com at a really random time right now has 183,538 people playing.

It wasn't long ago that all of the big tournaments were gradually dying off - even Linares died, for lack of funding. And then the rise of chess.com (along with Magnus - who is an absolutely amazing world champ in terms not only of play but also 'ambassadorship for the game') just sent the game in an entirely different trajectory that nobody would have imagined just 10 or 15 years ago.

Yes, you’re right about it, thank you. I read true RNG while the paper is talking about PRNG. And a RNN would fit the bill, indeed.
You are right, maybe, for this argument, but that's not the only thing she talks about. Other topics clearly should go in a paper.
Agree - the intent of this resource is fantastic. Thank you for taking the time!

I do feel like I have some even better suggestions. When I get back to my computer, I’m so taking you up on this.
I think these old arguments are moot: all of these entry methods are from having to write equations linearly for the 1950s / 1960s teletype era (including "algebraic"). They all require you to keep a stack in your head.

Newer calculators have "natural textbook entry", where they show the equation in mathematical notation as you enter it, so no stack required in your head. The entry method (shown linearly) for division is: <divide> numerator <down> denominator <right>. The keystroke count is lower than it would appear because you can leave out all of the right-most cursor keystrokes.

The method could be further generalized to eliminate the need to know about precedence on entry. For example ab(c+d+e)*f could be: <mul> a <next> b <add> c <next> d <next> e <done> <next> f. Visually it could show the order of operations either with precedence, or in some new way (perhaps text size changes to indicate order).

It's interesting to think how programming languages could look in the post-teletype era.
Personally I still prefer the "natural" makeup look over other makeup styles (or nothing) even if I know that it's artificial, and it's likely that the men oblivious to natural makeup existing would react the same, instead of being upset that they were misled.

Similarly, I think women don't do it in order to mislead men but because men just prefer it that way.

I wouldn't call it a lie if it's clearly visible to other people who invested the time to figure it out, like most women and some men.
Thank you for the link - I had not heard of this kind of sequence. It looks like something I'd like to know about, but I think it's beyond my schoolboy-level mathematical abilities. Anyway, I guess I'll have a peek in the rabbit-hole.
If I have a $10K credit limit, I charge $9975 and then I pay $9975, my credit limit is automatically increased back to $10K before the payment goes through.

She didn’t have a completely incorrect mental model. But the credit card company is being a lot more lenient than the government is being and the government should be more strict.
Facebook's Intimacy Trap
This is very plausible. It seems, for example, in India, the ideal time for morning prayer and meditation was the Brahma Muhurta, which is variously said to be between 3:30 - 6:30 am (probably dependent on the seasons and sunrise). This implies that people went to sleep around 8 pm or 9 pm, as many people in rural India still do. There is no mention of people getting up in between, in any of the traditional descriptions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahmamuhurtha
OP raises a legitimate point, what is understood about 'free speech' differs according to different cultures and jurisdictions. Almost all societies have prescriptions on what can be said, whether that prescription is legally or socially enforced.

'Free speech' is really a fiction (like 'free markets') sold to the people as a universal value free from caveat and condition, ironically an early form of disinformation.

That said, there is no reason to think that Musk's ambitions are as immodest than to produce a universal standard that works equally well in all circumstances. He's probably just going implement a more formal policy on who gets suspended
