I graduated a good but very hard CS course over 10 years ago. I didn't know much CS either to be honest. I got a job a few months after graduating in the finance sector. I improved in programming by doing it everyday and being part of a team. I had great mentors who I listened to and learned from. I was committed to work in a way that I never was to university. I learned the companies internal systems and turned out to be really good at communicating technical problems. I was always put in effort in improving any codebase I touched and improving technical & business processes.

After years of being a software engineer and being recognised and rewarded for being one of the best in my area of the company, I became more senior. Nowadays I don't do much programming (at work, I still code in my own time) and definitely don't do any CS concepts in work. Instead I mentor junior team members, architect/review software solutions and plan and help run software projects.

I am just sharing a brief snippet of my story so you have an idea of what a career path can look like.
> it has long been clear that no amount of pacifying or "non-irritating" is to alter such policy.

This represents the total failure of diplomacy present in today's discourse.

We no longer think diplomacy affects the outcome and we think that any compromises from our side is just "free stuff" for the other one.

What happens if Putin is not insane? What happens if there were better diplomatic outcome to this situation that the war? The ones that were missed by the lack of effort?
Would be great to run it on Apple Silicon.
Pro audio plugins have lower latency and harder constraints than graphics processing. You cannot drop a frame, and roundtrip latency is ideally below 5ms. GPU Audio (the company) has a lot of hype but it's not really clear if they gain a ton. The existing analogs to GPUs are expensive pieces of special purpose DSPs like Waves Grid, Universal Audio's UAD, and the biggest which are Avid PT HDX accelerators.

It turns out modern CPUs are plenty fast for heavy audio DSP. The point of friction is synchronization and the memory wall, most of the time.

It turns out that audio DSP algorithms don't generally benefit from the same kind of parallelism you get on a GPU, since even the basic stuff you'd like to do (filtering, algorithmic reverb, etc) is a bunch of recursive/sequential algorithms that have a non-trivial cost to convert to a parallel form for SIMD evaluation, and the gains are not linear due to repeated computation (classic example, converting an exponential moving average which is used everywhere to N lanes of SIMD is a lot less than an N times speed up).

That's not to say there isn't exciting work being done (GPU audio, for example). It's just really hard and not a magic bullet. It's not an Audio Processing Unit, after all. It also has video output, but not high fidelity audio i/o.
Conservation of aggression - the 3rd law of inclusion - implies that microaggressions can't be eliminated, as they break into much smaller nanoaggressions when the enough force of equity is applied to them. Most inclusive scientists agree that eventually nanoagressions dissolve into ambient ether of aggression that later collapses into one uberaggression.
On an Abrams the ready to use rounds are stored in a partitioned sort of "duck tail" hanging off the back of the turret, with an armored door separating it from the crew compartment, and blast off panels on top.

The specific issue the other comment is referring to is unique to Soviet designed tanks that combined an autoloader with an ammo rack carrousel that's below the crew in the turret. This proved to be a big design flaw, but is not one universal across non Soviet tanks.
I am amazed at the arm-chair lawyers here who leap at the opportunity to tear holes and make veiled accusations about something so completely basic as "ability to work for pay." Do people not understand that cash work is as old as boats? Do you really want government record keeping in every day and night of your personal life? You want that so badly that you will leap to the front of the forum with your Legal Questions ?

Yes, health care and stability and proper tax payments are the mark of civilized life. And guess what First Worlders ? more people around you are falling into despair than you realize, because they wont say it.
> Labelling the “science” as “dubious” is basically slighting the people attempting to track these slights at something other than a personal level.

First, no claiming you doubt is not a slight. Claiming you don't believe it at all because there is no evidence is not either.

Second, this piece isn't merely labeling. It explains why microaggressions are not to be believed.

> A better critique would look at ways to improve data collection,

We don't all agree with your "better" and it's certainly not a requirement. Is this some kind of "criticism slight?" ;-)
The "for life" remark is interesting in relation to generation Z.

Materially, the most spoiled generation ever, through no fault of their own. Material abundance, cheap goods, instant gratification and very liberal parenting. Mediocre work ethic, a something for nothing attitude, if I may exaggerate a little. Peak individualism.

...until they move out and meet actual life. The contrast is quite cruel, so I wonder if "for life" always applies.
>Why should the absence of equity give the employee special privileges?

Slave morality is my best guess.
Cobalt is used in certain vehicle batteries. Are you assuming nuclear isn't going to do this, say by putting a nuclear reactor in each car?
They are talking about the shares, which are already fully owned and liquid.

The question is to sell them and invest the cash somewhere better(??) or HODL.

> Players spend thousands of hours mastering smoke and flash throws and recoil patterns and bhopping, and flick shots. The skill ceiling for competitive team csgo is absolutely insane.

Just to point out, these two statements are unrelated. You can have a game with a low skill ceiling which nevertheless involves skills that take forever to learn. If those skills have a small impact on the outcome of the game, they won't raise the skill ceiling much.

The paradigmatic example of such a game is "chess dice", in which two players first play a game of chess, and then each roll a six-sided die. High roll wins; the winner of the chess game adds one to their die roll.

This game involves exactly as much skill as chess, while having a much lower skill ceiling than chess does.
Labelling a term of art as "dubious science" by looking at the effect of its broad and uninformed general application outside of its field of study is dubious at best.
That is more of a what-if. If there was more wind and solar built out there would be enough curtailed energy to run electrolyzers at 43% capacity factor. I am saying today it doesn't make sense because there isn't a lot of over-provisioning taking place. There should be but what investors are going to jump first with a curtailed energy electrolyzer when curtailed energy is low.

That's exactly it. All "microaggressions" are is an attempt to put a name on and try to measure an effect ("people are more likely to be jerks to people of other/alien/less-privileged demographics") that we all know is real and happens all the time.

But because it involves an attempt to measure something that has partisan lean, people of one partisan group feel an instinctual need to refute it, lest they lose points or whatever. So you get this genre of right-leaning libertarian blog post that literally seems to be arguing that racism must not exist because you can't measure it precisely.

And I agree, this is in fact a really hard thing to measure rigorously and there's lots of room for improvement in the field (right up to maybe having picked a needlessly inflamatory name). But if your critique starts from a prior of rejecting the (again, really obvious) hypothesis outright, you're clearly doing worse science, not better.
I'm not Jesus Christ, but I understand your sentiment.

Correct, as other people have noted.

Nautical miles are used for shipping and air travel since the length of a nautical mile is derived from the size of the earth. A nautical mile is 1/60 of one degree of latitude.

Infrastructure gets exponentially more expensive as resident density falls because fixed costs are spread over fewer subscribers. $50,000/mi in a city is fine since it’s useful for hundreds or thousands of people. $20,000/mi in a rural area might only hook up three households.

We actively pursue quality when scouting for projects. There is a fine balance we must maintain in order for our goals to come to fruition. Quantity but not clutter, quality but not scarcity.

We want to promote the fact that projects do indeed have value even if they are not generating mrr, but not to the point that people waste resources (their time and expertise) building half-assed projects. To do that we have to actively avoid becoming a d) type marketplace.

It's awesome that you already found something interesting! We have a few communication channels on our website, so if you have any questions I encourage you to reach out to us. In fact I'd be happy to jump on a call with you if you want to learn more about us!

This doesn't track at all. FPS such as Overwatch have characters that move faster and mechanics that are more complicated than Quake, even if the time to kill is higher. Any given MOBA has dozens of complicated skill interactions that change every match.

I don't love Fortnite, but building structures while shooting requires pretty demanding execution. "Simple" isn't the term I'd use at all.
It's still too early for Rust in the embedded space. A lot of that space has various certification requirements that Rust doesn't meet yet, and the rest of the space tends to follow too and is very conservative.

Ferrous Systems is making some good progress to make certification of Rust happen, through ferrocene[0] and other initiatives, but it will take time.

The only company I know using Rust in a sort-of embedded way is SoloKeys[1], using Rust to write the firmware of a hardware authentication token (similar to a yubikey).

I believe the community consensus (based on surveys) is that there aren't enough microlensing events to explain the amount of dark matter we see, using MACHOs.

Utility scale solar is greater than small scale (< 1 MW) solar in the US, and this is disparity is projected to increase through 2050. This is good, because utility scale solar is cheaper per unit output than small scale solar.

There are myriads of viruses and microbes that our immune system successfully fights every day. Imagine being constantly (slightly) sick instead.

You have to use the joycons. Multiplayer battles don't really work because all pokemon in Pikachu/Eevee have weirdly inflated stats due to the candy system imported from Pokemon Go. You can't battle wild pokemon; you can only catch them.

This isn't restricted to the Let's Go series, but all modern Pokemon games (starting with X/Y) are absurdly easy in comparison to the originals; don't expect that you'll ever be in any danger of losing a battle.

(Also, Pikachu/Eevee are not remakes of Red/Blue - they're remakes of Yellow. But that's a small difference.)

If what you want is online multiplayer pokemon battles with just the first 151 pokemon eligible, I'd probably go for Sword/Shield and try to round up support on Smogon for your "only gen I pokemon" format. If you want to replay Yellow, then Let's Go is what you want.

> all it takes is one bad Chromium commit

All it takes is one bad Xen commit, or one bad design choice at Intel, for VM-based clouds to be broken. Every isolation mechanism has bugs, this is not unique to V8.

> for this model to fall through regardless of how thorough the defense-in-depth/vetted Workers may be.

No no, when I say "defense in depth" I mean we have fallback contingencies to contain the damage of a V8 bug.

> Isn't it double whammy then that a V8 isolate + HW attack surface in combination could provide an order of magnitude more hackability?

No, the opposite. Having to break two layers at the same time is much harder than breaking just one thing. VM-based clouds are largely counting on just one layer today (most of which is burned into silicon).
The article's example of getting bad service and assuming it's about racism is not my understanding of microaggression.

My understanding of microaggression is more like calling some food "ethinic" food. At least in NYC/SF/LA it kind of seems like all food should be called "ethinic" or no food should be called "ethinic". If someone says "hey, let's go have some ethnic food" what they're perceived as saying is "let's go have some food from outsiders". And it makes perfect sense on some level but at some point, when there's enough people of different backgrounds all living in one place with 2nd and 3rd generations it's time to stop referring to them as outsiders in subtle ways .

It's like this joke

Russian-speaking citizens don't really want to study Russian as an "elective subject". They want to study in Russian. You have confirmed that it was getting no longer possible.

That's like forcing all Canadians to be only taught in French and subsequently losing Vancouver to the US.

So you have just confirmed everything that propaganda was talking about and were quite efficient at that.

That is correct. The term I see by my government is "reserve energy". In practice this mean a country subsidize a fossil fuel plant to keep engines running when demand is low, and then the plant get paid a second time if and when the plant is running.

It is one of the main reason why investing in fossil fuel energy when countries turn to wind power is fairly good choice. The plant has lower costs in terms of fuels, when it burn fuel it does so when the market price is at the highest possible, and it get paid regardless from the government. The government are also locked into continuing this scheme as the alternative is to not have the reserve energy when needed which makes voters very angry.

Burning fossil fuels when the price is lowest and without any government subsidies is just something people with too much fossil fuel can afford to do.
Some of us are neither of those partisan groups and just think it's silly.
I have actually used pseudonymity for some time. It works. It's not perfect, but I find it to be very useful.

I fell into it out of necessity because formal legal contracts are often not feasible to enforce when you are paying some guy, who lives halfway around the world, a few hundred or a few thousand dollars.

As long as everyone pays their taxes, in some cases this can be a very reasonable method of working with contractors. However, this approach tends to make dispute resolution in a court of law unfeasible.

Specifically, for software development I use obfuscation instead of the threat of adjudication to protect myself. Essentially I indicate to the contractor, "Here, build this thing for me. I'm not going to tell you how I'm going to use it. Also, I'm not giving you my real name; I don't need your real name. I'll pay you weekly or even daily so that you don't need to worry much about being unpaid."

This is an ancient concept, but the internet makes it much more efficient. There is nothing inherently wrong with this approach but, frankly, it is, wellll, ummmm, kind of weird and very unfriendly because each party is implicitly and constantly indicating, "I don't trust you" to one another.

On the plus side, ending relationships is typically extremely quick and easy. "What's that? You refuse to do what I want? I see. Goodbye and good luck." No muss, no fuss, no drama, and no fear of reprisals. I detest arguing with, for example, recalcitrant or incompetent contractors.

From my perspective, the ending “relationships part” is super-duper great. I detest becoming enmeshed in sticky personal disputes with contractors whom I have engaged.

I need contractors to provide me with deliverables. I strive to prevent them from discussing their personal lives with me. Why? I have found that once contractors start discussing their personal lives with me, they will invariably use my knowledge of their problems as means to justify their excuses for failing to deliver on time and/or on budget.

Regardless of their reasons, if they are unable to deliver high quality work on time and on budget, then I need to find another contractor who will.
Idle games are the perfect distillation of what some people want from video games. Seeing numbers go up from low effort actions gives you that artificial sense of achievement that can be missing from real life.

I think it's fair to demand a certain amount of rigor; we're calling it science, after all. This blog includes demands that venture into the realm of fantasy, however, such as "Establish that an insult/slight is motivated by racism." It's hard enough to establish that a murder is motivated by racism. Let's establish that it happens for certain races and not others, that's empirical enough, and work from there.
Not strictly theft, but I approve of people criminally obstructing actions which are bad for the environment. Destruction or obstruction of coal power mining/generation or smaller movements like deflating the tires of luxury SUVs.

If the law doesn't take environmental action seriously then individuals have to take control. Destroying the entire crypto market, even criminally, would be a benefit to the world.
I’m getting really tired of “is hard.” It’s empty and discouraging. Providing actual insights about something must be hard, so people just say things are “hard.”
Others in the thread have mentioned that the MetaMask wallet provides a warning prior to allowing a site like this to access the wallet.

Presumably part of the issue is that a legitimate "NFT mint" transaction might also carry the same warning.
