For me, the worst scenario is a Zoom call with everyone using pathetic earbud mics or even worse their laptop mic -- and talking a mile a minute, changing the subject before I have a chance to butt in, interrupting each other with memes and non-sequiturs, etc.

I think some of this is generational -- the under 30 crowd seems especially hyper-kinetc, almost as if they grew up on a diet of overstimulating media competing viciously for slivers of attention from teenagers addled with drugs to help them cram a bit of marketable information into their saturated brains (er, sorry, to treat their ADHD...)

But I've already gone on too long on my personal hobby horse, as we elder fogies are prone to do.

Neat, and I will never not think that trilobites are not cool animals. However, apart from the 'metamaterial' used for this bifocal lens, most of the range of the system is focused post-capture: "Without further processing, however, that would leave objects at intermediate distances (several meters from the camera) unfocused. Agrawal and his colleagues used a neural network—a computer algorithm that mimics the human nervous system—to teach software to recognize and correct for defects such as blurriness and color aberration in the objects that resided midway between the near and far focus of the metalens."
Hardware support is always a big issue with a new OS designed to be run directly, it is much easier for a new OS to start the other way as a VM run by a more mature OS. Getting qemu working is also quite a bit of work, although Xen Dom0 support would be easier. There are security implications of the hosting implemention as well. However, long term a general purpose OS will almost certainly want to support VMs so the extra work to do a WSL2-style integration is less than trying to keep up with the large number of complex Linux system calls for direct binary compatability and there are also major security implications to doing things that way.
oh, hledger does look pretty neat. If I were the only person involved in my budgeting, I'd definitely give it some serious consideration.

The same thing with wrap[0], to have autocomplete, somehow giving special permissions in the OS is not enough to function; I also need to give my identity and communication details. It feels wrong to me.

I am the same height as you and now married. 10-15 years ago I came to the conclusion that dating sites and apps are the last places I should try. They encourage people to pre-judge you based on superficial characteristics that you can never win. It's simply not a fair fight. I've found that I stood a better chance in face to face situation: at least then I can display unique characteristics rather than just be a sheet of specs.

My wife also happens to be shorter than me and she has never been on any dating site.

Colossus metadata is stored in Bigtable: see https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/storage-data-transfer...

Spanner stores its data in Colossus, so there would be some bootstrapping issues to resolve to move it to Spanner over Bigtable. (Bigtable also has the bootstrap issues but has solved them already and there are additional difficulties due to some details that I probably am not at liberty to share)

Spanner is used for metadata for many other very very large storage systems, though.

I do think Russia/USSR has focused primarily on the "heartland" [1], they have had some navy power but it looked almost always as an afterthought (their nuclear subs are a special, almost separate, case, they're more nuclear-oriented than sea/ocean-oriented). The US (following Britain) has of course almost been a world power that has focused on the Rimland-like spaces (plus islands like Japan).

Having one aircraft carrier or ten-eleven won't make that much of a difference when the battle happens on the steppes of Eurasia (like it is now happening in Donbas), there are only so many such carriers that one can place inside a "small" sea like the Black Sea (assuming that they'll be allowed to pass the Bosphorus).

Funny you should mention that - I remember when younger that we measured my younger brother at two, and he grew up to hit the predicted height, reaching 6'9". Played basketball professionally. When he outgrew me as a teenager, my only chance in one-on-one was to play rougher and call no fouls. My dunks were on the school outdoor court with a slightly bent-down ring!

He has not presented any irrefutable or falsifiable facts (indeed, he speaks in thinly veiled code, so we can't be completely sure who he's talking about, even though it's really a pretty good bet). He's speaking on the character of the people he worked with. His own character is therefore completely on the table for criticism.

I use a plain text ledger, ledger [1], and a Makefile for all the accounting needs of my LLC. Then I export to CSV whenever my accountant needs to get involved. It has worked great so far, even with a heap of currency conversions involved. Being able to easily leave comments for each entry has also been a blessing.

Just come here to say the same thing. D is a natural successor to C and C++, the only main thing that it lacks at the moment is the adoption and popularity.

Personally I think D is not only suitable for systems programming but it also very much suitable for modern data science programming as I commented recently in the other discussions on C++ Matlab like library topic [1].

> Those lines must be very confusing since our brains have been trained to stay in them

It isn't many of us ran canyons as a lead up to track days to dial in our suspension or engine maps ahead of time attacks, and just as another poster mentioned: you ignore it entirely when you're in the zone.

You're looking at your own lines, and making your own braking points which often require you go wide (on to oncoming traffic) to make an apex in a high gear and have a higher exit speed etc...

In short, normal day-driving has almost no bearing on how you drive in anger in the canyons or the track. I drive like an old man on the street and seldom speed, but once the helmet goes on I'm a full contact driver and I will block pass and push you wide off the track to make an apex on the track without a second thought.

I was getting too aggressive at the K1 racetrack on my bday one year, I had just assumed people had done track days before and the marshals eventually let me run alone on the track to set a best flying lap because I was forcing people into dangerous situations, which to me is a part of racing: forcing people into mistakes is a critical part of race-craft. And if you go over your limit and you crash those are just racing incidents at the end of the day.

I think I held a Top 10 lap record for most of that year at that location.

As for reminiscing about F1 I think the hybrid era has yielded the most monotonous era on F1 history; which is saying a lot where 5 on track overtakes was considered an exciting race before that. Mercedes/HAM domination is about as compelling as the Redbull/Vettel era but with way more boring engines (they had V8s back then).

I was in Maranello the last season right before the v6 hybrid era and I could hear them testing the V6s F1 engines in the factory and then heard it on the track Fiorano. They sounded pathetic to even the street version V8s and I knew it was an end of an era.

Luckily, I got to see the LaFerrari prototype with its crazy hybrid-V8 get tested out on the canyons up Torre Maina which was a remarkable experience. They always say that when Ferrari sucks in F1 is when their Strada division makes it's best cars.

Either way, I think the Senna/Prost days in manual Turbo V6s was cool but way over valued, to me the pinnacle will always be the V10 era. Seeing that BMW V10 in the Williams screaming at near 20K RPM was insanity [0]! I know the V8s and even the V10s are faster around a track, but these engines were over a 1000HP in qualy trim, and the sound alone was what made the racing back then.

Amazon RDS now supports IPv6
KOReader also gets you a host of features, including a real file browser, reading statistics (both on the book and calendar level), reading sync with other devices running KOReader, support for weirder formats (such as CBR/CBZ), better PDF formatting (PDF Reflow for reading papers is great), and Calibre Wireless access, and OPDS support.

And much more. KOReader runs on Linux as well, so you can do a trial run to see the UX and the vast feature set.
This is odd considering that "senior" is a terminal role in a lot of places.
> so.. Haskell and Scala? Those would be the top two that come to mind for me when someone says "highly 'logical' and 'compose well'", "having sum types", 'more expressive', etc.

I don't think Haskell composes that well; monads don't combine well (not that I could do better) since you can only stick them together in an ordered way, the lazy evaluation makes it complicated to see how your program will run by reading the code, and so on.

Btw, "sum types" means enums; it's not actually a super-complicated Haskell only feature.

I'm going to mention my own tiny experience report as a frequent SQL user, of Go's simplicity pushing a lot of burden onto the user in the relatively simple task of querying a list of things from a SQL table:

http://go-database-sql.org/retrieving.html - lets pretend we return errors rather than dying with log.Fatals :)

There's a specific order of operations to be done here, and even a slight deviance could be a significant bug.

To start of with we:

1. Do query
2. Check err
3. Defer close

1 is straight forward.
2 you can forget, then something bad may happen.
3 you can forget, which will cause a resource leak.
If you switch the ordering of 2 and 3 something bad may happen.

Instead of defer close(), a user might opt to just close() at the end of the function, but there's a reasonable chance they'll overlook the unhappy paths.

Next we have iterating over the results:

1. For rows.next()
2. Scan into a &var
3. Check for scanning errors
4. Exit for loop, check rows.Err

1 is hard to mess up.
2 has some potential to mess up if you're not clear on which bit of memory you're storing the result in.
3 you can forget, which could cause you to get the previously scanned var show up multiple times, or zero values.
4. you can forget, which will cause your results set to (I guess?) be incomplete.

There's a lot of different permutations in this code that will compile, and I think has a good chance of passing the average paid dev's test suite (it's a bit of work to exhaustively test the unhappy paths).

In my experience people are especially prone to messing up closing rows. I don't blame em, we know from decades of C that manually freeing resources, especially in the case of errors, is tricky.

If I've made any mistakes, please point them out, as it supports my stance ;)

(There's more fun to be had in SQL with Go, like that SQL has optional types, but Go doesn't, which leads us to sql.NullString et al).
It might not be the most secure method to propagate secrets but the alternatives have significant complexities.

In $DAY_JOB we only ever use single-machine docker-compose for deployments and there they work decently.

> The most common misconception by far, was that fat is converted to energy. The problem with this theory is that it violates the law of conservation of matter, which all chemical reactions obey.

There is no "law of conservation of matter". Chemical reactions can and do release (or absorb) energy. What is conserved is mass, with the understanding that energy and mass are interconvertible (E = mc^2).
I'm really grateful to Google for their work on patents in its first 10-15 years and am glad to see those efforts continuint.
Yeah, I've heard similar complaints about dysfunctionality regarding Microsoft's "stack ranking" system that they had under Balmer, where the best engineers would actively avoid working in the same teams, to avoid being ranked in the same stack. But afaik they didn't have that nebulous peer review system - I've only heard about that at Valve.
I guess I should clarify that this wasn't the only reason I didn't take the acquisition transfer - it really wasn't clear that the acquirers knew what to do with the large number of smart people that they were basically acqui-hiring. But the heavy concentration of meetings caused by the 3-day week did influence my decision.
We run almost all of our production databases on k8s - postgres, clickhouse, cockroachdb and more. Many others do too. K8s itself already comes with a db of sorts - etcd so it’s not a non-standard usecase.
The best way to get into a FAANG but bypass whiteboard hell is to work for a late-stage startup that ends up getting acquired. They do not run the same crazy recruiting filter on employees who come through an acquisition.

OTOH, agree with other posters there is ageism for sure, but there is also the luck of the draw as to who you work for. Again, acquisition _may_ mean your team stays intact - but that depends on the success of the product/service/tech that drove the deal in the first place.

I think this perspective is just as limiting as extreme wokeness. No action can be taken at all without being accused of disingenuous virtue signaling. What could Harvard have done here(or any institution)? They could remain silent and ignore any connection and what would that achieve? Why should they do that instead? Or they could do what they've done and at least accomplish something. Even if they did it purely due to the current climate, who cares? At least they took ownership and made a real plan to attempt to address the issues and their history. If I'm a descendant of someone whose body is held in Harvard's collection, for example, The politics are unimportant; I just want it resolved.
So I bought the deluxe model. I happened to find my original purchase in Moneydance (a quick search for "gps" did it) and I paid $834.99 with tax and shipping.

I don't see why that puts me in a world of fairy tales and unicorns. I wasn't rich, I just saw the value and chose to buy it. It was a small fraction of what I paid for my car, after all.

Perhaps more to the point, the original StreetPilot from 1998 had a list price of $400.
FTA: “Well, Apple defines that, but I guess that’s kind of a pain to figure out and it’s just easier to try to decode and see what happens! YOLO!”

From what I understand (also FTA: “The Unity IAP team found themselves having to harden their code against random data”) the fix wasn’t to read the documentation and do the right thing, but to go deeper in on “if we step carefully through this minefield, we probably will survive”.

And Unity’s customer is happy with that!

When I was entering the workforce twenty years ago, I interviewed several times with Microsoft, without success. I recall string manipulation questions, linked lists, and puzzles. I probably spent the most time preparing for the latter. Before Google made algorithm questions popular, Microsoft's brainteasers were legendary. There was even a prep book - "How Would You Move Mount Fuji?".

My first job ended up with a small, self-funded company where the technical portion consisted of a multiple choice quiz that the CEO put together. I still remember that one of the questions was "Which is the Debug shortcut key in Visual Studio 6?" Terrible question, but I knew the answer, so it worked out ok.
Yeah that would be nice, could try it out. But I'm fickle - before putting that effort in, ask more of your users! Also, a table of contents with all the articles in the book would be nifty.

Maybe you can send me an email once you do it, I can try it out (I'll use the chat on the website to send my email).
Also, just a heads-up: the 50$ seems like a but too much. For context, I bought my Kindle itself for ~40$ (India)

I didn't try out the preview thing the first time since setting up the email is too much of a hassle (didn't know it would dynamically preview). But I typed in an article url anyway to see what would happen anyway, and I LOVE the kindle preview. I think it's brilliant!

All the best!

Also, what is the definition of PTSD and how did I use it incorrectly? For context, I once dropped a heavy duty suitcase on my foot when the handle gave. Now I always think picture the worst when carrying it. Is that PTSD? I would suggest not, because the extent of the trauma is much lower than a war veteran. That was what I was trying to get at.

That's not true, the autoregressive LMs (GPTs) can generate variable length outputs allowing for step by step computation. Recent papers get them to generate the full chain of thought reasoning process to the solution (also called rationales in some papers), improving accuracy.

But this version of Dall-E is not autoregressive, they've gone for diffusion models in the generator and for a single vector embedding (no internal spatial grid structure) for the encoder. That explains why it's bad at negations, counting and stacking coloured blocks. I believe these skills were not the top priority of OpenAI this time, they understandably went for pretty images.
