They feel all limited to me :D I only did serious CL development but neither of those two especially attract me: they are less interactive (and that's my ideal and a daily joy), I don't need the Java ecosystem, I want to be lighter on resources… I take news about Red from time to time and it's still in its early phases it seems.
I do agree with you that Disney mismanaged the whole trilogy, and the fault lies with them. They very clearly went into it without any sort of plan or even a particular vision, deferring completely to whatever each director wanted to do. With minimal imposition of a plot outline, the whole thing could have gone much better, even while still leaving the individual directors to mostly decide how they got there.

To my mind, letting Abrams double-down on swerving back to his plot in episode 9 was their biggest management sin when it comes to creating a coherent plot arc. If they'd carried on with what 8 was setting up we'd have had ["nostalgia" => "twist" => "resolution"], and instead we were left with ["nostalgia" => "twist" => "ignore that! more nostalgia"]. The former could have worked out and won over those who disliked the Last Jedi twists, the latter just flopped unsatisfyingly. (A second-movie twist was always in the cards, given general fan sentiment about Empire.)

Disclaimer: I personally liked episode 8 the most of that trilogy, and it's the only one I'd bother to go rewatch. It has the best direction by far, along with the most striking visuals of the lot and most of the quotable lines. That said, I think my take on this holds up regardless of which side of the Last Jedi divide you fall on. :D

It was NOT a human error. If an entire continent's economy can be jolted because a single person fat fingered a number on a keyboard, it's the system that is broken.
Thing is, trying to create a perfect first version actually takes more time and mental energy than having a defined good base, creating a first draft and testing it.

Here are some tips from personal experience:

1) Program with refactoring in mind beforehand. Things like SOLID, Hexagonal Architecture or even MVC help make refactoring easier.

2) Practice a bit with SOLID principles in your language. Once you get the gist the first time, every project after that is just copy and paste. Upload that base project to a personal git repository if you like.

3) If your project doesn't have to be lightning fast then prioritize legibility over superb efficient algorithms. For example, directly operating and mutating an array may demand less CPU cycles than mapping and parsing an array into controllers and descriptive functions. But unless you can wrap that in an accessible way, it will make further development hell.

4) Software engineering is weird. Unlike other engineering fields, our requirements and constraints change all the time, and the product is never meant to be static. The more flexible a program is to develop and refactor, the more it will maintain its quality over time. Even a perfect and fast program will crumble over time.

The "I don't have time for good code" is a mental trap and a sign of either nearsightedness, or letting oneself be dragged by anxiety. It's our job to at least make notice when development is badly managed.

Leaving that aside, I assure you that once you have a good boilerplate project, every program built on top of that will be fast and flexible. And any bugfixing will be straightforward.
It's satisfying, usually functionally-equivalent and cheaper once you know where or how to get it done.

It sure is (currently wearing pants which are probably 20 years old - as such their style is also back in fashion if I see what youth is wearing these days), but only if you were raised or self-thaught to hold that in high regard. Or I could even say 'if you have common sense' but that's perhaps just bias from my part.

I wonder where the biggest opportunities are

I'm tempted to say 'education' and 'have politics push for it' but I honestly don't know at this point. Seeing what it takes to even get a slight notion of something being fixed for other global problems (climate, biodiversity) I'm not exactly optimistic about that.
Actually, reading it once again, I think the author of the original article takes "strawmanning" for downplaying or picking the weakest link, probably not quite correct. In my understanding, strawman means something different - tearing down a similar, weaker, but not necessarily related argument. In that sense, it is disingenuous and fallacious, you are right.
Neuromorphic imaging is the future of computer vision
Truthfully, if studying economics was a way to predict market movements in the future, the field would be much, much more popular, and lucrative. The last 3 years has shown that everyone feels smart when everything is going up in a bull market(minus the last 6 months). If you can make money in a downturn, then you might be onto something.

Macroeconomics can still help you tremendously, but it is only a small piece of the puzzle. For long term success, I would recommend that you pick an industry and study that industry to its core. Become an expert in energy markets, or financial markets, or travel/transportation...etc.

Economic policy and climate will affect different companies in different ways, and its an enormous task to understand how economic variables affect all industries.

You have to think, even the Fed doesn't know what their policies will bring. They deal in possibilities and probabilities, and move very slow to not break everything.
I'm not talking about Caml Light or even Caml Special Light, which is when the native-code compiler was initially added. 25 years ago was 01997. Objective Caml was released in 01996 (and renamed OCaml in 02011).

Projects like KDE, the GIMP, GNOME, Lucene, Jython, LLVM, Asterisk, Audacity, CMake, and Danger that got started in C, C++, or Java in the 01997–02002 period are still based on those languages today. OCaml would have been a reasonable language for all of these, though a new interpreter for Python in OCaml would have lacked Jython's key feature, the ability to easily script other things written in Java.

(Danger? Well, Danger as such ended in 02011, but Andy Rubin founded Danger in 01999 and left to found Android in 02003, which ended up making a Java-based smartphone much like Danger's Java-based smartphone, but less locked down.)

The fact that Java focused heavily on performance starting in 01997, when Sun bought Animorphic, meant that a lot of things were able to be written in Java in the 02000s, things that were previously just unthinkable. Lucene predates HotSpot by a bit, but the whole Hadoop ecosystem that grew out of it only makes sense in a HotSpot world. Minecraft obviously pushes performance heavily. SPARK is written in Scala, but OCaml would have been a good fit too—if Hadoop had gone that direction.

Burnout's main cause is cognitive dissonance between the will to contribute and succeed, and the believe in the outcomes and methods.

NONE of the points mentioned (with the exception of seeking external help) in this article would make any significant difference to someone advanced n the road to a burnout.
I'm probably off-topic here, but isn't a gift card just money with restrictions? I guess maybe the "gift" is the freedom from responsibility, in the sense that you won't feel guilty about where you spend the money (because someone else decided for you). Is there a more favorable explanation for the value of a gift card as a gesture?
I’d choose both if the difference is small. Don’t want to risk geopolitical issues with either one, so mix them. How big a cost gap between them is worth the security benefit is not something I can even guess at, to the extent that I can believe I may even be wrong to suggest it can ever happen.
Isn't it like... literally just that one HFT company that did this? I've seen it pointed at for years, but afaik the vast majority use C++.
what the heck are you talking about, if you're at partial throttle, by design a normal diesel has no control over how much air is entering the engine, so your only way of modulating torque is changing the injection. This means your air fuel ratio will be uncontrolled, which is bad for emissions.
It was without a doubt dysfunctional, and I have since left the position, but that role was incredibly rewarding financially and taught me many things about myself, and what I desire out of life. So while I was totally burnt out by the end, the juice was certainly worth the squeeze - and I would probably do it again instead of a quiet job where my supervisor could just lower expectations, though I recognize that's not true for everybody.
VM has to have some communication bridge to the host, for all the features of the modem. That's still quite a lot of attack surface, once guest VM is compromised.

It's better to not expose the needless attack surface rather than just attempting to isolate the attack into a leaky VM.
I'd like to know, too!

From my point of view, all languages which don't add anything new and improved are a drag on our collective computing experience.

I'd be happy if humanity had like three or four programming languages: Idris or some other better-Haskell (for guarantees), Lisp (for simplicity), Rust (for performance), and probably one or two other languages which are unique enough, Prolog or something, K?

So, I get that. However, that doesn't make those engineers better at communicating, being communicated to, or understanding where they work. They're at risk for being underrepresented due to the siloed and likely insular nature of their work.

Most of my success has been because I'd spoken, independently and unofficially, to people in unrelated divisions who hadn't met who _really needed to talk_. I don't expect others to take this on because they're almost definitely busier than me. And I don't necessarily like taking to people, but I'm really good at this one stupidly simple thing, and I'd rather be the one getting dragged into the meetings instead of everyone else so they can focus.

It's why corporate org charts are so bullshit to me; the real work happens when people can form their best structures, which typically takes knowing who you're working with or being known by someone who can protect that for you. For some, that's churning out work while being with their families way the fuck away from everyone else. For others, it's being wherever they can get some perspective and inspiration digging in and deciding something about the trajectory of the org they're at, usually involving people. If it works, it's valid.

True, but in this example, the pandemic provided an effective increase in pay to the employee while catering less for the needs of the employer. From an employer's perspective, the fair thing would be to either have the employee end their temporary privileges when the pandemic is over (i.e. return to the office), or "meet in the middle" and propose a salary cut to the employee.

I'm not saying this is how employers should react, but I found the arguments presented here just really one-sided and wanted to show where such a line of arguments lead.

I think reality is a bit more complex; the employer can turn this into an upside as well by saving expenses for office space, and possibly benefitting from the increased productivity of people who are more productive at home. And I think it's reasonable that employees ask their employers to look into these upsides.
The other reason is that Canada has access to a lot of nuclear fuel and used to have a fairly well developed nuclear industry. That being said, Australia is also a significant producer.

Avoiding my university or workplace from snooping on my traffic.

I’ve had it where I was served an add from a server that had previously been implicated in a bot net operation. The university told me I was infected and that my computer was not allowed back on the network until I came in person to show them that I had done a full wipe and reinstall of my OS.
I used Mullvad for a few years and was largely happy with it. I got a multi-year deal on ProtonVPN that was too good to pass up, so now I'm on that. Overall, I think I liked Mullvad better so may go back to it when my time is up.

I used NordVPN back quite a few years ago. Once they started advertising on cable tv shows, I knew it was time to jump ship. A VPN service spending that kind of money is either burning through cash too quickly to survive, selling user data, or a government honeypot.
Episode 1 is a terrible movie.

I tried watching it with my kids as a marathon of Star Wars for May the Fourth, and they became bored with the trade federation and Senate, and were annoyed by Jar Jar. The pod racing was the saving grace, in their eyes, but even it was only mildly amusing.

I turned it off when they left the room when the pod racing finished.
No, it's a philosophical decision from the project. QBE works on Mac, for example. The link I shared states that it runs on non-x64 platforms, but only on free OS's
Even if you aren't a criminal, the fact is that privacy tools of this nature are explicitly relying on having enough volume of criminals and other illicit users to provide cover for you. This is what they're designed to do, the designers of these systems will openly admit to it. You can make your own judgement on whether you're ok with that, but it doesn't help to deny what's actually happening.
I'm not sure it's true that C programmers usually like C? I'm writing C++ code because that's what the Arduino ecosystem uses. It's hardly my favorite language.

It seems like a lot of people choose languages due to ecosystem constraints?
One of the more interesting use cases I have seen for niche compiled languages is malware development. When the binary is a sort of martian to the AV scanning engines, it flies under those radars.

There's even old languages dug up for this purpose. Most pascal I have seen lately is malware samples.
> No, not really. If a coal plant is designed or run badly, it might burn down, and that's it.

No, coal plants have spent-fuel disposal problems due to "human error"/poor management too. This one cost over $1b to clean up and required them to scrape off the topsoil and rendered the area essentially uninhabitable, just like fukushima. TVA ended up having to buy out the inhabitants and move them elsewhere.

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

And the fun part is: that shit is actually radioactive too. Coal plants put out as much radioactive waste as nuclear plants do... but they put it straight into the air, and then put a bunch more into spent-fuel pools besides.
It's reweaving but seems like the duo are pioneer in developing methods for repairing different materials. Almost like bespoke art restoration. The work on extra fine tshirts was impressive.

I do some basic mending for clothes that gets retired to gym use, little obvious patches/sewing with slightly off color material and pretend it's knockoff Kintsugi. But I also learned value not being precious/sentimental with clothes and enjoy wear them pretty hard. Personally it feels better to just wear new clothes, especially now that performance fabrics are becoming popular. Won't wear anything without elastane if I could hep it.
Would it surprise you to hear that, despite taking the mantle as the new HQ (because it’s the most impressive building) it’s just an incremental office build and people still work at one infinite loop?

If you work for any company that offers health insurance, there is a pretty high bar set by the ACA for employers that make the difference in health insurance benefits different at most a few thousand dollars. You can usually negotiate the difference by asking for more money.

Even if that’s not the case, being able to work remotely means you can choose to work in a lower cost of living area - ie basically any place away from Apple’s headquarters will be cheaper.

It would also be a very regressive company - one that I have never worked at in 25 years - that would frown on you saying “I’m not available during $x hours when I need to drop my kid off to school. That’s the benefit of working remotely. You have a meeting at 9:00 and can’t get home in time? Pull out your cellular equipped tablet and join the meeting

I once left home at 9:00 AM during a workday to see my parents 4 hours away. But it took a whole day after stopping along the way to attend meetings from my cellular iPad.

I logged in when I got to my parents and finished my workday.

I have meetings scheduled with someone on the opposite coast at 7:00 ET? I log out at 5, walk to the next room to my home gym, exercise and log back in at 7 to have the meeting.

Some types of artificial neural networks are biologically plausible. The layered structure of the cerebral cortex reflects the layers of an artificial network.
We live in weird times.

Something amazing can happen (such as a new Monkey Island game) and there will always be an angry mob with pitchforks that will be very vocal about it on social media.

This probably was always the case, but the internet now serves as an amplifier of some sort of hype-based social feedback mechanism for ideas and opinions. This mechanism probably made sense 200,000+ years ago when groups were very small and it helped survival by promoting social cohesion. But today the internet connects billions of humans and it's a pretty toxic behavior.
Maybe because there's a thriving restaurant industry in the USA, and that's where all the expensive eaters go?

If I want "good chips", I know a few local restaurants close by me that hand-cut and self-season those chips... and I get the piping hot and fresh. The restaurant has their own salt-mix that they use, so they're also uniquely seasoned.

----------

Prepackaged food is looked down upon right now. Its "not in-vogue". Why would anyone spend time experimenting with tastes in the prepackaged format right now?

If someone were to try to build "a new taste", its probably better to buy up 3 or 4 food trucks and spread that food around locally instead. That's where the "experimental food culture" is in my town anyway, at food-truck meetups.
Ah yes, because men definitely aren't known for being complete horn-dogs

It is my understanding that the team behind the hardware and chip developments refused to work at Apple Park and demanded that a more suitable work area was built for them.

I think even office areas are not equatable and greatly depends on the team.

Yes, if the text messages and social media posts of pre-suicidal people systematically differ from those of others, as I think is likely. Is there a data set of say Facebook posts of people who attempted or actually committed suicide along with data for people who did not? If an algorithm were developed to give you warning signs for family members and friends, you could connect with them and see how they are doing.

Yes. I don't see how at a minimum "more able-bodied" should be controversial. Someone who requires a wheelchair has a much easier experience when WFH. "Younger" is a likely extension of that given how age affects mobility.

I think this is actually the most common type of "unreported" burnout in tech. The enormous amount of work to be done weighs on you, but the work doesn't have a defined set of requirements or the requirements are constantly shifting. For me, I've seen it mostly when a rewrite is happening, seems closely related to analysis paralysis.
I live in Ukraine, and missiles have struck homes very close to my apartment, killing innocent civilians, including children. My close friends are still there and cannot leave. Some of my employees are still there and cannot leave.

> I don't see jobs as fungible.

Very odd, seeing how you literally posted very fungibale things right after that. You know that you can just negotiate those things and only jump ship once you've found something that satisfies you.

If you wanted to make your point, you should've talked about actual barely-fungible things when switching jobs, i.e. if you're going to do the work you've been promised, your managers and company culture, etc etc etc

The old art feels, in a way, more realistic.

One underappreciated aspect of low definition graphics is that your mind can interpolate the visuals, and you feel more immersed. (suspension is disbelief has a positive effect here)

When graphics become HD or closer to photorealistic they are starting to trigger an uncanny valley effect.
