Some retweets are useful, true, but I’m more interested in people’s original thoughts. Retweets also used to be 90% of my feed which means that the vast majority of tweets in my feed were by people who I wasn’t following. Original content by people I was following got drowned out. Some accounts also retweet a lot and Twitter didn’t deemphasize these, which allowed some people to basically take over my feed. Having said that, the search function hack that I mentioned does include quote-tweets which tend to be higher quality.
> Eh, what? Paper has survived for hundreds if not thousands of years. Show me your RPi 1000 years for now

If my RPi has a long chain of monasteries taking care of it and making new copies every few decades, I will have more than a few RPis to show you. I think paper is an extreme example of survivorship bias: how much of it was preserved vs the total amount that was produced. If you want durability, go with clay tablets, or carving on rocks (but you're trading off against data density)
My skillset was “really old” in 2008 at 34. I was still doing VB6 (7 years after it had been discontinued) and C++/MFC (Windows). What I did have is a level of maturity and the ability to talk to customers and knowing how to get things done.

I went to a company that used modern technology and learned how to talk the talk and built my resume.

But if I were in that position today instead of 2008, I would spend as much time as it took to study data system and algorithm style interviews - ie “grind leetCode and work for a FAANG” (tm r/cscareerquestions).

I fell into a remote role at $BigTech through the cloud consulting department specializing in enterprise application development where that wasn’t necessary.
Elon's conduct and prior tweets will likely come back to bite him if a) Twitter can demonstrate Elon had already assumed a level of bot activity on Twitter and b) that he knew this prior to making his offer. If my memory serves me I think Elon has previously commented negatively on Twitter's management of bot accounts.

This, combined with Elon's apparent lack of willingness to engage in a professional and appropriate manner (i.e. his willingness to publicly disparage Twitter during negotiations and closure, and to respond to what appear to be good-faith responses with childish responses like poop emojis) along with his past behaviour, suggest to me that a judge might find it difficult to believe that Elon entered into the purchase contract in good faith and instead might find it easier to believe that he was entering into the agreement in order to extract value from Twitter at Twitter's expense.

I love the visual nature of analogue synths. I got heavily into Reaktor back in the day, and fawned over the Paia kits but could never afford them. Ended up buying some generic function generator kits and whacked them in a chassis with a bunch of other components and patch plugs. My mileage was… varied.
You need much more than stereo for Atmos mixing, including overhead speakers.
https://archive.ph/l8du8
but it's not a generic curse word, it's an insulting way of saying you're stupid, which is the more important part in this context.

But yeah, I could not think of a better word in english, "traduttore traditore" as the saying goes :)
Ah yes. My favourite part of these old synths is having to let them warm up for 20 minutes before checking if they're out of tune!
Part of the reason I went with a kobo over the kindle is that they support ePubs. The kindle honestly seemed a bit nicer hardware wise but I like the ability to build and read my library of DRM free books well into the future. No complaints about the kobo so far and it's lasted me nearly a decade by this point. Once it finally kicks the bucket I'll definitely stick with them.

I think GP is referring to the obnoxious type-A personalities that dominate management where everything has to be the best (or at least be presented as such) and virtuous (hah!) competition weeds out the weak. They like to see themselves as moneymaking stablemasters cultivating fine workhorses for their shareholders.

I personally had a manager refer to me as an athlete on a big-league sports team (I was a software developer), and it was incredibly off-putting. I don't like athletes, I don't like sports or athletics, and I don't like zero-sum bullshit at work. If I didn't like the guy otherwise he would have been one of the wankers GP is referring to.
Which iPhone did they have?
I wish the article did a better job identifying the contribution of the two causes, because they tell very different stories. Are they claiming people are dropping out of public education in favor of private/home schools or are they dropping out of NYC public schools in favor of Cheaper Place Public Schools?
The main things that come to mind are somewhat related. The big one, especially in comparison to a game like NMS, which is similar at a high level, is that much of the game is fully 'physicalized'. I'm not sure if that's the right terminology or just a term popularized by CIG, but the goal is that, while meeting the rule of fun, all entities are represented physically in game. This includes things like ship components/modules. Your radar, cooler, or shield components should all be physically moveable. Ship parts are one of the more complicated outcomes for this goal, but cargo and items, their precise physical location is stored by this hierarchical graph database in real time and persistent. Another example is you can put one ship inside of another and act as a large scale transport.

The other is the scale. Examples of games that I used to consider to be large scale are NMS, EVE, GTA, Battlefield, and some of the battle royale style games like Warzone. Some of these are certainly equal in scale, but with caveats like they're procedurally generated (NMS) or are completely static (WZ). SC dwarfs most of these games in scale, variety, and detail. A single system has multiple full scale planets with multiple full scale moons. There's even a gas giant planet!

Another neat aspect is the physics. While not perfect, they're startlingly accurate for a game. Each planetary body has its own atmospheric composition and gravity, which effects the flight characteristics of your ship based on its aerodynamics, density of the atmosphere, etc. Actually, if you just keep flying down into the gas giant, you'll eventually be crushed by the pressure, but the elevation (Not sure if that applies in a gas giant?) varies based on the size of your ship.

The area where I think they've probably pushed the limits furthest are some of the internal tooling for actually building the game. They don't talk about this as much in detail, so I won't make any specific claims, but you you take a look at the detailed reports that talk about what work is done each month you can see a lot of the work is focused on making it possible to build a game like this in the first place and extending the engine that used to by cryengine to do things it never would have been able to do before.

Again, not like I'm an expert, these are just the things that come to mind.
The article talks a lot about how meetings are context switches due to being a distraction and it takes about 30 minutes to get back into flow.

What about Slack?

What about even email?

Even if we worked for some magically company that doesn’t have meetings, if your expected to always be on Slack and reply immediately - you’ll never achieve no distractions.
OK this sounds like a disagreement, after you spoke the air was full of disagreement-sounding words, but this is an agreement with the parent posters. So yeah that's what you want, pony up the cash, pay the best demand the best fire everyone else, that's not for you--that's, that's not for you--but it is for someone, like if my fgemm.com thing goes to shit which it technically could hey maybe Netflix. By all means. High stakes, exactly like they said, like a pro sports team. Those teams have really high turnover let's just say, you can get fired like a bullet out of a machine gun, very rapidly. Right away.

So really it's not a question of quality--as though such a thing existed among employers--it's a question of elitism, and Netflix pays the price of being elitist. Which many places don't, they say they only hire the best bla bla well first off they don't hire the best because they didn't hire me, so second best in the most favorable view, and second off they want to...uh...pay the median for the best. Paying 50 percentile salaries--not even 51 percentile, just 50 percentile--for 99 percentile people according to their unpaid homework. Which is not worth a fuck, you can put original research and break impossibility limits on the unpaid homework, it won't matter if they smell excess dignity. DNANexus and JITX got crazy results and they didn't bite why? Don't know. Yeah I'm a fucking arrogant guy[1] I can read what I write but still, that's consistent with being the best (at the particular thing I do best, which isn't everything by any means, but programming interviews I always, always, always nail without prep), but they don't want spine. No spine. Except Elon Musk, weirdly enough. A few other places. Netflix too it appears, well like those sport teams, there's fucking arrogant guys there too, most athletes. Elitism means flowing with that, and most companies just don't.

And in general, most places saying they're hiring? Are actually firing. Not hiring, so much as firing. They're not growing, they're trying to diminish those W-2 line items with cheaper replacements, so there's a built-in cap to what you can ask of them, and then you hit a wall. And you're competing back and forth with a guy you can't talk to. They rip the job description of his resume.

So at least Netflix is consistent.

Full-range speakers have many problems, that's why we use multiple drivers in the first place.

Well designed speakers don't destroy the phase either, and even if they did, which they don't, there's also active crossovers that can do all kinds of fancy stuff.

Nothing's perfect, but multi-way speakers are a much better solution than expecting a single speaker go from 30-20000Hz.
I feel like this depends a bit on what you consider to be "big differences", and what sort of abstraction library you have in mind.

So long as you're only concerned with placing and formatting characters on the screen, support for the subset of "extended VT100" which is required is essentially universal. There is no disagreement over what escape sequences can be used to move the cursor, for example, or to clear the screen. Using an abstraction layer like termcap is effectively a no-op here; it will output the exact same sequences for any modern terminal application.

And if you want to support modern and/or esoteric features like embedded graphics or custom characters ("sixels"), you're probably going to handcraft that anyway, as support for those features is very limited, and most abstraction libraries won't support them at all. So I'm not sure I see the case for an abstraction at either end of the spectrum.
I've also heard (but not verified) that kobo's firmware isn't locked down the way amazon's is, so you can compile and install your own apps and modify system scripts. In other words it's your device, not Amazon's.

Yes, I meant diagonal screen size.
I regularly use other streaming apps and if Netflix has some magic performance advantage it really isn’t large enough to really be noticeable, and certainly not large enough to displace the actual content that is available.

I honestly have no idea what all that engineering talent is doing such that HBO Max is able to replicate 95% of the technology experience.

Just to clarify:

You think that Picasso’s style was nothing more than mental illness?

You think Picasso used no “reasoning”, and there is no “mystery” involved, because it was not intentional/skillful?

And you think everyone who likes it is just a snob?
Ya, I love my kobo. I recently cracked the screen on mine (after about 8 plus years). I went straight to best buy the next day and got a new one.
Not sure how widespread this is, but I took taxis in my city recently for work and I was surprised at how much it's gotten better on the UX side (for scheduling):

- When I called, a robot answered and prompted me for my current/origin address (the voice-to-text seemed to work very well)

- It sent me a text message with a link to a live GPS map & time estimate

Still, there are some inconveniences which is why I still prefer Uber for personal travel:

- Even if Uber is more expensive, at least I know the cost upfront, vs. only knowing at the end of the taxi ride

- I get a rough time estimate for the closest Uber before I order one

- No need to handle payment/tipping with the driver, which is the worst because IME taxi drivers always try to make you feel bad about whatever amount you end up tipping them. At least with Uber, I can tip exactly what I feel is 'right' without the awkwardness or over-spending.

- Some taxi drivers are still opposed to using a GPS for directions (??), so when I need to get somewhere that's not a peak tourist attraction, I have to guide them myself.
I can't think of a reason to not rotate credentials and variables the second you see a security incident of this scale even when it was in the very earliest stages. Better safe than sorry, and also a good time to review just how easy it is to update all the variables (is it automated & scripted, where are they stored and generated, etc.)
Wow, this is the first speech synthesis I've seen on here where I thought I was listening to a human at first.
A lot of uninformed answers about this question.

The process of getting a first novel published goes something like this (I'm eliding a lot of the hard work involved to be able to answer the question and failure to progress can happen at any stage of the process):

1. Write the book

2. Query agents until someone agrees to represent you.

3. After development work between agent and author,¹ the agent will then shop the work around to one or more editors at publishing houses.

4. If multiple editors are interested in purchasing the work, there can either be an auction where they bid to publish the work or an editor can issue what’s called a pre-empt where before it can go to auction, they’ll offer a large advance hoping to guarantee their house gets the book.

It’s the multiple editors interested in the work that generates most of the pre-publication buzz for a debut author. Yes, it can help to have published some prominent short works before the first novel, but it’s exceedingly rare for someone to gain much notice from this. Outside of a very short list of prominent magazines (the big national mags: The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Harper’s plus a very short list of smaller publication The Paris Review, Granta, McSweeney’s), the sad truth is that most of the readers of literary magazines are writers² and maybe literary agents scouting for new talent.³ When someone without at least an agent if not a previously published book has a story in The New Yorker, it’s a major event which was at least in part why “Cat People” was such a big deal when it was published a couple years back.

⸻

1. Starting in the 80s, this has become increasingly where a lot of editorial work on fiction happens.

2. This is the big conundrum for publishers of said magazines and a generally unspoken but widely acknowledged reality. I have an incubating project that will maybe with a few years’ of cultivation, expose a small number of non-writers to some of the best stuff available online.

3. The magazines that agents look at is not much longer than the first list. Looking at the table of contents of the past few years’ Best American Short Stories will surface almost all of the magazines in agents’ reading lists.
I used to hold a similar position to you until I actually saw these paintings close up at a Picasso exhibition. In real life there's a presence about them that one doesn't get from reproductions. That said, I've definite preferences - some paintings from his rose and cubist periods such as Demoiselles d'Avignon and Ma Jolie and his Weeping Woman that was painted a little after Guernica are some of my favorites. I have a much less favorable impression of many of his later works.

It's moot whether Picasso's paintings would stand up solidly in isolation as you suggest but on balance I reckon a significant percentage of them would.

How would I rate Picasso in the great order of things? In my opinion he ranks pretty high but I'd never rate him amongst the pinnacles of Western European Art such as Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Vermeer - and even Michelangelo. I think by any measure these artists would stand high in any era.

Whilst the masses mill around da Vinci's Mona Lisa you'd find me in another wing of the Louvre staring transfixed at wonderful paintings such as Caravaggio's The Fortune Teller. For me, works by these artists represent the epitome of art - but then that's just my opinion (but I know that I'm far from being alone in thinking this way).

I recall decades ago on my first visit to Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum and not knowing what to expect, I walked into an alcove in which only one painting had pride of place and that was a Rembrandt self portrait.

I was completely transfixed as this old man stared directly into my eyes from across four centuries past. There was a strange realism about the experience, it was as if he were actually standing there beside me. I was alone in the alcove and only several feet away from the painting (just being that close alone, I consider a remarkable privilege). This experience is one of the most memorable of my life. (Picasso's paintings have never impacted me to that degree.)

Around several corners and not far away were some Vermeers including The Milkmaid. Even now, my brain is overloaded just thinking about the experience.

On a tangent, what distinguishes a successful bot from a poor bot? For many of the arbs, the logic is simple to imitate. I understand there is some infrastructure engineering (having servers close to some node) involved, but besides that, it seems a level field in terms of money and tech.

Their pitch is that while this solution makes less water volume and requires more energy than existing solutions, it doesn't have consumable filters or require regular maintenance for cleaning. So you can just plug it into a solar panel, collect the water, and forget about it, versus needing to have someone trained to maintain the system and supplied with spare parts. I'm not sure I buy this because it seems like you'd still need to have pre-filters that need maintenance and/or replacement, and it seems like it would be a better use of time and money to just improve RO systems, but at least in theory it does have a value proposition.
> you typically have the budget for an enterprise license.

Not all enterprises are the same and not all companies with more than 100 engineers are ready to dedicate a significant amount of capital to yearly costs for access control. Especially when you can "Make do" with an open source solution and spend the cash on a product that is less replaceable or more necessary. I would also add that this is the Only open-source solution that I've seen that would actually support blanket oidc integration and more specifically with Google workspace etc. Most competitors like Teleport, cloudflare, etc have proper oidc integration for an idp locked behind a pay wall. (Would love to know of any that dont)

> isn't that the central proxy service?

Teleport offers authentication AND a proxy that will let you connect back to your services via their proxy. The certificates that get issued for those backend services are usable as long as you can talk to the service but the proxy acts as an identity aware proxy locked behind your idp or whatever authentication you are using with teleport. From what I can tell infra does not offer a proxy to connect you back to your network. You would host it somewhere and expect users to be able to directly route to infra.internal.company and k8s.internal.company

IMO the fact that they are actually offering a fully open source product without locking any features behind a pay wall makes them worth watching. Obviously they aren't at parity with Teleport, and they don't support SSH or other protocols currently but I expect they'll have a lot of support in the community.
This is definitely human-level quality. In fact, the synthesized versions pronounce some words better than human. Kudos to MSFT! I think they've been longest in the game too...
