I don't know, in the consumer market only Microsoft still sells an operating system but it's dirt cheap, you can get Windows licenses for a few bucks. The problem is perhaps rather that they don't sell operating systems and instead of building a good OS product sell their users' data or use the OS to lock costumers into their platform and hardware. There does not seem to be a competitive OS market at all (and probably there never was a healthy one to speak of).
From my perspective there is nothing 'un-american' about wechat. It's literally facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp etc. but for china. He just didn't want to say he is going to turn it Facebook.

How i read this is twitter will offer more features like voice and video calling, groups, etc.

Each of these platforms differentiate eachother in very key ways but elon has shown what he wants twitters to be. A 'Town-Hall'. Voting, 'Paid contributors' and you can bet your ass there will be alot of crypto involved.

Again - Not saying whether this is going to be a dumpster fire of shitshow, oh wait, yes i did.... but just my thoughts on some things.

If anything about capitalism has shown us in the last 20 years, Dumpster fires of a shitshow is a great market to be in.
Any sane company does not want to be related to an organization where grooming, sex trafficking and rape are encouraged and practiced, I would think. That seems like more than enough reason to me.
There's very little difference between the two as long as you're using modern versions of both and add your own functions to fill any API gaps and are using type hinting properly in Python. My C# tends to be "larger" because I use more vertical whitespace and pylint is rather opinionated.. :)

Where you can complain about C# - and I do - is where you're having to write (or work with) code which has been force to stick to strict architectural and style standards. That makes code-bases which are very hard to understand for newbies and are verbose.

On the flip side, once you start doing anything even slightly interesting with Python you run into the crappy package management. The end result of which is lots of frustration getting projects working and a lot of time wasted on administration vs work.
That's cool, hopefully it can be a feature request you take seriously, it may not even be that hard I think to throw in a facial recognition library or something. The issue with doing it manually is that I would have to basically scan the entire video manually and that sort of counteracts the purpose.

- that's a cult. I guess wanted to say they're a clique of cult
members.

The cult is real. The clique is the group within Google (as opposed to
there being a cult within Google), I hope that distinction makes
sense.

I've seen this before. At the BBC. Everyone closed ranks around Jimmy
Savile and an organisation called PIE (paedophile information
exchange). You were literally told you couldn't say anything about it.
But AFAIK the rotten group was small, but powerful. Many, many more
decent people work at the BBC. As I'm sure applies to Google.

Edit:

I say this because the headline "Cult within Google" is misleading.
(I bloody hate Google and everything they stand for - but there's an
important distinction to be made)

This is nonsense to the highest level considering we are talking about a family of a PM and a SDE.

Good SDEs can pick good compensations in Europe to be able to afford a house and more.
I appreciate you taking this seriously. If it turns out that it's indeed not a widespread issue, I would take that as a positive outcome because it means fewer people had their data exposed.

But I hope you can understand why I'm skeptical: not just because of Triplebyte's track record, but also because the customer support representative who responded to me seemed to be under the impression that this hadn't been fixed retroactively. If I'd instead gotten a response that said "hang on, that shouldn't have happened, give us some time to figure out what's going on", I would have found it a lot less concerning.

Maybe the words as used in court don't reflect the generally understood meaning well.

Controlling and overcharging use of (one of the few) roads to the market, even in the case there are other roads farther away, and you can build your own road at an incredibly unfeasible cost, is what most people understand as a monopoly situation.

Arguably this is what Apple and Google are doing when they charge exorbitant fees from developers targeting their platform.
>Why would we ever assume that Britain was difficult to reach 1M years ago?

Because we have a lot of geologic data to suggest that Britain alternated between difficult to reach and a frozen wasteland. This is the topic discussed in the article.

When the Isles were warm enough to live in, the English Channel would be full of water, and, whatever their other skills, Roger and his kind could not cross 34 km of open sea. But when Europe got cold enough for falling sea levels to turn the Channel into a land bridge, it was usually too cold for anyone to cross it and live in Proto-Britain.
Is "hatred" their language or yours?

How would you distinguish an awareness of tool strengths, and a recognition that for the specific use in question, keyboard is generally faster / easier / more reproducible?

Ah, fair enough. I had forgotten about that.
I had a good experience with them as a new grad. A couple hours with TripleByte got me a free plane ticket to Silicon Valley, a hotel room, free Uber rides around the bay, and 5 on site interviews back-to-back. The product was an amazing deal for candidates. I had to do very little work and it got my foot in the door. 4 years later and I now work for Google in Mountain View.

TripleByte isn’t what they used to be, though. I don’t think they do anything close to what I experienced anymore.
These days the preferred (I hate to call it "politically correct") term for what used to be called a "cult" is NRM: new religious movement. Cult is reserved for the minority that are actually deranged, coercive, and dangerous.

Of course, part of the problem is that there are concentric rings, increasingly toxic as one goes higher/closer-in. The outer ring is full of gullible normies who do recruiting and PR, useful idiots who have no idea what's really going on.
Doesn't that example show that a 256-step gradient takes 256 bytes? A 256-step run of the same colour takes just a couple of bytes due to RLE, doesn't it? (Not an expert.)

Set it by exec'ing from your sway config instead. Otherwise every session under your user will think it's running in sway, even if it isn't.

How to do that is explained in the xdpw wiki.

>For whatever reason this isn't set by Sway.

It's because sway generally doesn't do any kind of integration with anything not related to Wayland, which in this case is systemd and dbus. It gives you the tools to do it yourself.

Distros that provide pre-configured packages of sway should ship such a config by default. Eg OpenSUSE has https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSEway/blob/ee8fe750a843165... + https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSEway/blob/ee8fe750a843165...
Back in the days, an integer division took something like 46 clocks (original Pentium), and now on Ice Lake it's just 12 with a reciprocal throughput of 6. Multiply that by the clock speed increase and a modern CPU can "do division" about 300-400 times faster than a Pentium could. Then multiply that by the number of cores available now versus just one core, and that increases to about 2000 times faster!

I used to play 3D games on Pentium-based machines and I thought of them as a "huge upgrade" from 486, which in turn were a huge upgrade from 286, etc...

Now, people with Ice Lake CPUs in their laptops and servers complain that things are slow.
French culture.

Road users have (generally) a more considerate attitude to other users. While I was living in France for about a year, many times I was manoeuvring on a road and blocking it. In Australia and the US, that would be a perfect opportunity for them to blast me with the horn. In France though, the other driver(s) would wait quietly and allow me to finish my procedure.

That was a very noticeable thing. It happened so often that I respected it, and took on those attitudes myself, even after I returned home.

Another reason is better roads. French roads are (generally) in good condition. US roads, as part of the crumbling national infrastructure, not so much.
The premise here is that a major war would automatically escalate into nuclear right away. That premise is disputed by many, however.

How would you define "legitimately dated"?

I'd say something like the "ribbon toolbar" upgrade of MS Office, which I think improved accessibility of functions, is one of the only examples I can think of. But then I'm not sure if that was just a case of getting used to the new layout.

Windows "Settings" versus the Control Panel is a counter example. It was a downgrade, it still sucks now, years later, but the Control Panel could be argued as 'dated' by some definitions.
The dangerous organizations were called "destructive cults" (which suggested the existence of non-destructive ones) in the 80's, but people gradually stopped using the adjective, generalizing it too far.

Yeah, but the exact type of "secrets and opportunities" matters. Sometimes (as mentioned in the article) the secret opportunity is a surprise nonconsensual sex with the group leader.

I can certainly believe it. One of my friends at Caltech spent a term eating nothing but instant ramen and green tea. By the end of the term he became very sick and his gums started bleeding. Once someone pointed out that it looked like he had scurvy he drank a quart of orange juice and his symptoms went away.
Cliques (which is what you’re referring to) in tech and corporate environment in general are common and not necessarily a bad thing. For example, a lot of early google engineers came from dec (sanjay, jeff) and ucsb where urs was a professor as well as stanford (both founders and first employee). Seems like it worked out well for them. It only becomes toxic if they develop a hive mind and start to actively bash/drive away “outsiders”
Doubtful that moving from vectorised pandas & numpy to vanilla python is faster unless the dataset is small (sub 1k values) or you haven't been mindful of access patterns (that is, you're bad at pandas & numpy)
“dated” is not the issue, rather does it continue to be fit for purpose?

One thing that helps is the binary size is tiny and the memory usage patterns are tight. It's bloat that usually makes fork() go slow, since if you have a lot of little pieces updating disparate memory locations, then you're going to have a lot of page faults. Redbean was built with a singular first-principles vision. When I started working on this, all I had was an empty file and an assembler. As such, I spent a lot of time using things like linker scripts to organize exactly where in the binary code gets relocated.
Sure it did, it provided a default charset that wasn’t latin_swedish_ci.

Clearly I am joking, but the selling point was supposed to be that it provided a lean, mean, modernized MySQL replacement.

I think the problem was that replacements under the hood don’t necessarily translate to an improved UX.

Working alone prevents you from standing on the shoulders of the giants around you. Working alone prevents you from challenging yourself against the best and learning from them. Teaching others close to your skill level, forces you to understand your own skills and gives you more insight into changes you can make.

In my experience, highly skilled people seem to be unusually skilled at a wide variety of disciplines, including soft-skills and apparently unrelated skills to the one they are known for.

Edit: sure, there are a lot of bullshit bloggers and marketers. One signal of very talented people is they are good at filtering for good information. Or they can pay attention to bullshit and pick out the one useful insight. Or perhaps use bullshit as abstract noise to smash out interesting ideas or test themselves against.

Edit 2: The problem is not that experts don’t publish, it is that “unskilled and unaware” is published in such abundance. I think Dan Luu writes about the problem very well: https://danluu.com/hn-comments/ . . . I do think there is confirmation/selection bias that we only see the talented that write, but I also believe that the most talented communicate to better themselves, and those that don’t communicate are holding themselves back from their potential.

They provide tools for companies to directly request applicants to fill out their screens (and presumably get those applicants into their job pool too). I don't think they're the only player in the space, but their actual tests are by far the best I've seen, and as an employer they are fulfilling all my core needs.

If the side-effect of getting this stuff on their fur while getting all frisky and euphoric from its psychoactive effects conferred an evolutionary advantage, it's not that they want to impregnate their body with the smell.

They're just seeking pleasure, they don't know jack shit about what plant chemicals are increasing the survival of their species. If the cats that liked the beneficial plants survived better, guess what, more cats like getting high in the long-term.

It's disappointing to see "an animal behaviorist at the University of Pennsilvania" making such a glaring error.
That's weird, it is supposed to be faster than alternatives. Do you have some benchmarks to support that critique?

It depends on how often you need to do the thing and how long it takes to do it. There’s an XKCD that’s just a chart of that.

Sadly any concept of performance seems to completely go out the window for most programmers once it leaves their hands; taking 2-3x longer to write a performant app in a compiled language would save a ton of time and cycles on users’ machines but Programmer Time Is Expensive, let’s just shit out an Electron app, who cares that it’s five orders of magnitude larger and slower.

There are numerous arguments, but basically other forms of erosion might do it, there’s some evidence of heavy rainfall later than previously thought, and even rainfall consistent with recent history might well be enough anyway given the poor quality of the limestone.

I'm not sure how throwing around a $100k figure is supposed to make your point any better. If it's worth considering the 100k case of the minority it's worth considering the half of person's in these states for whom the debt is under $1k.

My intention was never to show that someone with $100k of medical debt could get out of it as easily as the majority with far less.

If you publicly listed your email on open source projects then you agreed to be contacted at that address regarding your work. That's the only inconsistency I see here.

Very true.
