it's improved by quite a bit, I wouldnt call it "intuitive" to an existing 3d user, it just goes against so much pre-existing muscle memory and assumptions from other apps... but so does Z-brush and people love that,

I'm using it more and more these days for little tasks, processing meshes, plug ins here and there, it has a beautiful and easy to use renderer but I dont work in a field where rendering matters.

I dont really want an alternative way to sculpt texture or model, I have several already, and really my industry (film / previz) is moving to rendering in Unreal or Unity (much more unreal) but as a tool Blender is quickly becoming much more impressive.

having tought myself zbrush before it was useful (2.something?) blender feels like it's just gaining that usability now to expose useful features... but there's so much more that can be done.
Nice try Wolverine. Everyone knows you don't have friends.
I was under the impression that people use their own UIs on top of it. Sort of how some people use the fumbbl client.

Which are sort of effective ways of “outsourcing” the UI development on projects where you don’t have the funds (or the talent) to make a great UI.
If it needs to vest, it’s not a share.
They are called PIR with sublinear online computation or offline/online PIR.

Key idea is the client issues a query that is independent of what they really want. This is the “offline” query. This query is linear (unavoidable) and the client gets some hints as a result

Then later, the client can issue one or more queries for elements they want and those queries can be sublinear in terms of computation. The client uses hints to make that happen.

Some papers on this are:

You both want different things. You've only been doing this 6 months. Move on. Forget about it and move on. There is nothing worth fighting for and the stress it will lead to is not worth it.

That's how it goes running a business. Most of the time you will end in failure and have and you need to learn to be ok with that. Hopefully you've learnt something at least (in this case possibly about having equal control of the company next time) and that will help in the next venture.
no, you're posting all over this thread about random other factoids rather than focusing on how systemic sex abuse was fostered in not one, but multiple, public institutions, or about how and why the legal system should attack such affronts with the vigor they go after gang members with. why don't you talk about the mechanics of police looking the other way around sexual violence? anything that's actually relevant, rather than these sidelong glances.
Yea this is a super underrated feature - copy and paste through RDP is awesome. Although in some cases you would probably want to of course disable that for security reasons.
Yes. It even happens at medium sized companies.

One answer is to accept the way things are at BigCo and to just coast along in your role, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

Another answer is to work at an early-stage startup or a small non-tech company where you can move fast. The tradeoff there is lack of job security and lesser pay.

Don't ever expect to move fast at BigCo. It's a BigCo for a reason. By moving fast, you could upset the cash cow, hence the friction placed in front of you. But this can work in your favor. Excellence will not be expected of you at BigCo, and if anyone complains about why nothing is getting done, you just repeat exactly why. As long as the company is making money and you haven't made any enemies, the chances of you getting fired are slim to none.

IMO, you have to look at the big picture. If you ignore the friction factor, is life at BigCo so bad? Are your hours reasonable? Do you like your coworkers? Good pay? Learning to let go your frustration with how you think the company should be run may be the most favorable choice. Remember, all jobs suck, more or less. A year after you change companies, you will find things to hate about that one as well.
That's why I used the word "typically." This absolutely does not mean "always," but I didn't think I'd have to clarify that.
I don’t have much worry about the use of SSNs as an identifier; it’s the fact of knowing them being used as an authentication mechanism which continues to puzzle me.
I don't think Op has options. He said no one's shares have vested. You can't have a company ownership only made up of stock options.

I think they both own restricted stock units that are repurchased by the company at nominal values if the employee leaves or violates certain terms.
>doing something because "rationality" demands it strikes me as mental

It's best if we replace "rational" for "what I think makes sense" or "what I think is the best course of action", etc...

Which is, of course, self-evidently what one should do.

"Acting rational" is optimizing one's utility function to the best of their abilities and knowledge. It says nothing about the utility function itself, and using unconscious/emotional/instinctive thinking leads to better results for their appropriate places (including figuring out the utility function/what you care about)

You don't do mathematics to catch a ball thrown at you.

Size of Internal Audit team and spend on internal and external audit services is probably a better indicator than size of legal department. In most orgs the legal department mostly serves as a bridge between executives and outside council with minimal emphasis on internal compliance. IA departments on the other hand frequently own responsibility for implementation and enforcement of controls recommended by outside council, as well as controls imposed by non-voluntary regulatory frameworks like SOX and voluntary regulatory/risk control frameworks. The latter are generally the cause of a lot of the 'friction' folks are complaining about here.
I personally don't get it. Besides Google Maps/Apple Maps and Waze, the apps I've used on CarPlay are terrible. Specifically SiriusXM and YouTube Music. I think these people think they want CarPlay because it seems like a big upgrade over their old car stereo - however once you start to actually use the platform (IMHO) it's not great. One of my vehicles has an average built in GPS, and my phone auto connects no CarPlay needed - it works great and the car interface (SirusXM) with touch screen and actual buttons is 100% easier to operate then the apps.
I can generally rely on FreeBSD to actually boot up properly, after doing a major upgrade.

I can't say the same thing for Ubuntu. I've lost track of the number of "oddities" that have occurred. Examples: network interfaces getting renamed, missing default routes, UEFI boot weirdness that can only be resolved from the console. Maybe I just have bad luck.
One of their very early decisions was extremely good in my opinion. Each blender file is saved with a complete schema at the start which basically describes a bunch of C structs, and has a marker for byte order. This means that .blend files can be backwards and forwards compatible, and in the most common case of the schema matching your memory layout, can have their data structures copied directly into memory and then only pointer patching is required. It's quite remarkable.
> Anyone else dealt with this?

I imagine that the majority of white collar workers are employed by large corporations, and so the majority have to deal with this.

Given the number of startup layoffs happening, I imagine a lot of people will be having their first experience with large corporate bureaucracy.

> To get anything done is emotionally exhausting.

Onboarding as a new hire is usually the most frustrating period, because you need to request a lot of things and can't get any work done in the meantime. Eventually you have enough access that you can at least do work while waiting on other requests.

One thing that helps is knowing how to use the corporate tracking system to know which individual specifically the request is stuck on, and then relentlessly following up with that individual via email until they approve your request.

You should also track your tasks and identify the ones that are stalled because you're waiting on a request, and then regularly show the list to your manager (along with your follow up efforts). That way you have a solid reason for not getting those tasks completed.

Not true anymore - there are process isolation modes you can enable in Windows 10 as well as kernel isolation where it runs core processes in a VM essentially. And there is also protected folder access.
But history shows the state is clearly not an effective tool at preventing that!

(In fact, I suspect it's designed for literally the opposite, ensuring control by the few, not preventing it!).
One thing that's tricky here is that "popular" has been redefined just because so many more young people use the internet than did before -- so you have to decide whether you're thinking "popular on the scale of the number of millennials who learned CSS from neopets customization" or "popular on the scale of roblox".

That said, of the people I see disclosing age they're typically under 26.
For screenshots and edits, I have to say that I love MacOS's tools. CMD-Shift-4 to capture a screen region, click on it in the bottom right, edit it right there, and click 'Done'. Their editing tools are also super intuitive there. Honestly my favorite MacOS tool and I'd love a cross platform equivalent.
Liberal "diversity" is skin deep. And as long as everything under the skin thinks and acts just like a white "woke" businessman, then it can be business as usual.

A few years ago, we had our first black President, Obama. He was quite open about governing like a 1980s moderate conservative. Black President Reagan. That's the diversity we have today. Thanks, liberals!

You'll note these aren't normal average Americans that were abused. For those that weren't high profile, many probably had the potential to become elite athletes were it not for the abuse. There is also an argument to be made that their endorsement opportunities were limited due to the controversy surrounding the abuse. I'm sure there is a reticence to put an athlete on your cereal box that is embroiled in a sexual abuse scandal, even though they are the victim. It's just not what you want brought to mind when your customers see your marketing material.
We have graphics, but I could see a mode where you `scp` a headless moon lander version of Zed up to a remote server to do remote development. VS Code has a feature like this but I hadn't used it much before switching to Zed full-time.
Also, the core editor experience of VS Code, the Monaco editor, predated Atom by several years. It was used from the very early days of the Azure Portal and also in IE's Developer Tools. It didn't become "VS Code" until sometime after Electron stabilized out from under Atom, but parts of it have existed for longer than Atom.
Sure! This paper has people really excited from a theoretical standpoint: https://eprint.iacr.org/2022/081.pdf. It’s a bit far from practical for single-server, but I’m sure people are working on it.
> A malicious server is unable to determine which article the client retrieved.

This sounds like magic :O. How does it behave when new articles (elements) are added, does it need to rebuild the whole database and distribute new parameters?

I wonder how practical it would be for clients to synchronize content without server not being able to deduce the synchronization state at which the client is.

> "The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of an isolated system always increases because isolated systems spontaneously evolve towards thermodynamic equilibrium..." (emphasis added)

There are no isolated systems in the context being discussed, i.e. houses and phones and so on. This is an important point: steady-state thermodynamics is a far more complicated beast than closed-system thermodynamics, and moving-state thermodynamics even more so.

Furthermore, how does one distinguish between useful and useless work? Work is work, the value of work is something humans decide on socially. Say people are put to work building a pyramid, so the kings and priests have a nice high place to sit. Egyptian pyramids are impressive, but are they useful? Maybe in terms of some abstract notion like consolidating the power of the state or impressing one's neighbors.

Anyway, here are some solutions to the author's points:

1) Unlimited and uncontrolled growth: match inputs to outputs. Delete as many old emails per day as you receive new ones. If it's important, copy and store securely offline. If you buy new clothes, send an equal amount of old clothes to recycler or the thrift store. If that's too much work, cut back on inputs instead.

2) Decision-makers have no skin in the game: If the decision-maker wants to build a pyramid, the decision-maker should be spending their days building that pyramid alongside their employees. Then they might decide that building pyramids is a useless activity, and perhaps building a bridge or a dam would be a wiser undertaking. Yes, investment capitalism has this problem. Put the shareholders to work on the production line or give them the boot, that's the solution.

3) Momentum is not a source of entropy I don't think. Entropy is more like diffusion than directed momentum. An object impacting another due to momentum could increase entropy, like a car running into a brick wall. Maybe the author is talking about something abstract like 'the momentum of bad habits is hard to break'? Here is where an injection of entropy ('shaking things up') might be helpful.

Physics analogies can be rather overused, in conclusion.
Ooh, this is interesting. It sounds like you learned a lesson here. Could you say more about what prompted the change? I once talked with a Firefox engineer who felt like an initial urge for openness left them with a lot of API surface area that locked them into a lot of design choices. Was it something like that for you as well?

Thinking of a recruiter as a teacher doesn't seem accurate to me. They should not be expected to understand the company well or the role of the software team in the company.
Recruiters are intermediaries whose role it is to save the hiring manager's valuable time. They will focus on the initial scanning of profiles (does this vaguely look like a developer profile?), be responsible for scheduling and maybe salary negotiations as this means you can start a fresh relationship with your hiring manager without the potential tension left over from a salary negotiation.
The exception are executive search professionals who will understand the business model well, but even they would not be able to recommend a book.
It helps because there is visual feedback so you're sure you don't have to go back to the original program and do the copy again. Plus sometimes your original program forgets your selection, with CTRL+X you're sure it's on the clipboard and won't have to return.

Get out of here. Airborne Internet access has gotten good enough that I spend most of my flight time RDP'd into my development machine over a VPN. It works surprisingly well, and other than occasional latency spikes I find the single, relatively small laptop screen and touchpad to be more of a hinderance than the Internet access.
> When I asked my co-founder for rights to use the existing code in my new venture, he refused, citing concerns over sharing IP.

If this is a actually a good idea, then I'd try to find a new technical co-founder.

If you really think the IP is valuable (which I doubt considering you don't have any users), I'd focus on why your co-founder won't sell you the code for a % of the company. What are his concerns over sharing IP?

A semantic distinction at best. There is no real practical difference from the perspective of a victim. Remember, that is all this is at this point. No verdict has been returned, no settlement reached. These are purely claims from victims.
Sounds like a good decision. I used Atom until everyone was talking about VScode... then I hopped over.

I think Electron is an amazing legacy to leave. Like many I would like it to use less resources, but it is still a grest idea.
They can't just seize domains like that - it was done in conjunction with the courts.
Probably too much effort for the recruiter to figure out. Understandable, I've been in my company almost 5 years and still wouldn't have a good answer.
It's not an entirely harmful way of thinking - a bunch of us have hidden disabilities, and forcing people to think about it, is broadly, helpful.

I don't think its useful for determining public policy, in general practice intersectionality is harmful to minority groups because it makes our pool to form a community of interest out of smaller.
"Optimizing for feelings" as suggested by the article is not about guiding your decisions purely on emotions; it's about designing products or services taking them into account.

When you average over the range of users, conveying the right emotions is an important feature on itself, even if it's not a functional requirement; a product that elicits positive feelings will be better that one that engenders negative ones. Developers ignore this tenet at their own risk, often creating functionally correct programs that their users hate to use because of their "death by 100 papercuts" interfaces.

UX people know that emotionally positive interfaces work better than equivalent ugly and cumbersome interfaces. Marketing people live their entire careers on generating those positive feelings artificially. Integrating into product and service design the creation of positive feelings of the kind that benefit users would be something that is beneficial to all of us, rather than the usual approach of maximising profits by capturing and directing customer expectations to profit-maximising environments.
Sorry, I misspoke, but yes deprecating them for authentication would be the goal.
Musk doesn't feel this is random. The remote employees that don't want to come into work in the office are by definition not the higher performers to him.
You might want to look up how the US Census Bureau defines urban. My 7,000 person town with orchards and farms is considered an urban area. This makes some sense as it's loosely part of a greater metropolitan area but it's not remotely an area that could be served to a significant degree by public transportation.
You're being downvoted and debated because you're relying on an intuition that many people here don't share, and there's no quantitative data that could conclusively validate or invalidate the claim you've made.

At any time, there are tens of thousands of startups bubbling through their first 6 months or year of development. The composition of who's an "idea person" and who's an "implementor" will be in pretty much every permutation you can imagine.

Now, it may be that the few startups that grow to conquer the world had a certain composition in their early years, but that really has nothing to do with the company the OP is involved in.

Friction is a continuum. As the company gets smaller, the amount of friction gets lower. Also it depends on what you do for the company, putting a button on the front page of Amazon.com has more friction than putting a button on an internal service support tool or a test tool.

That is to say Big companies can be OK if you land in the right department.
Great article. I could directly translate these thoughts to self-hosting. Having worked my way through linux, docker, systems, networks (etc.), since starting in 2017, I can say that the most important principle is Minimalism (and Reproducibility, but both go in hand). The points made by the author apply equally: Reject solutions that bring chaos, do not install everything - select services carefully, but make sure those services you host are stable and set up correctly.
Okay, if we change it to "see, cities controlled by politicians who claim to be progressive are bad!", is that more correct? Because either way, the fault seems to lie with progressive politicians, whether they are "real progressives" or not.
