Does eigenrobot—a pseudonymous influencer, as far as I know; I have no clue who s/he is—have an earned doctorate? Comparisons of the academy and industry are better made by people who actually have experience in both realms. This post reads to me as though the author thinks s/he understands the culture of professors and researchers, but in reality does not. The “let’s see how quickly I can destroy this entire presentation” line, for example, is a tell. People tend to lose that attitude by the later stages of a PhD program (if not sooner).

edit: I should add, another funny thing about this post is that much of the advice would also be good for someone intending to stay in the academy. Among the successful scholars that I know, for every genius, there are several normal-smart people who learned how to get out of their own way and keep their projects moving forward on a day-to-day basis.
> But now you say it is a search engine for finding code snippets from the internet. You really fail to see how this is a problem?

Can’t it be both? If you already know a specific piece of code well enough that you could find it in a search engine, then it reproduces that code.

If not it’s reproducing general code patterns. I don’t see why they can’t both be valid use cases and I don’t see how the latter use case infringes the rights of the Quake coders any more that search engines that already exist.

> How would you feel if I could reproduce your entire personal email verbatim just by starting it with "Hi <unique mother's name>" and letting Gmail complete it for me? How would that hold up in your analogy?

I think to match what’s happening in the quake example provided I would have had to publish a specific conversation online, and then you would have to start your text quoting my conversation exactly such that it couldn’t match any other published conversation, and then it would provide it as an auto complete.

This wouldn’t infringe on my rights any more than if you were to copy my conversation from the internet into an email and send it.

It would also be about as useful to you as the above Quake example which is not very.
Exactly. The issue is you cannot easy say “unexpected”. Whilst we cannot account for everything and there could be something new like mercury orbit is “unexpected” and not due to Vulcan (as suspected in one stage there is another planet inside its orbit).

Really what is unexpected.
Seems like it is infested with Google trackers at the very least.
Yea, too bad that doesn't matter because it was modified. So that literally doesn't matter
My understanding is that the deindustrialisation of the USA is largely a natural consequence of the 'exorbitant privilege' of having the world's global reserve currency (since Bretton Woods). This was identified as early as the 1960s by Robert Triffin, and is known as the Triffin Dilemma [1].

I don't know if/how this played into it, but if you check out the original version of Git whose commit date is April 7th, 2005 it uses OpenSSL for SHA-1.

The first OpenSSL release that has general SHA-256 support seems to have been 0.9.8, released on July 5th, 2005, the code first appeared in OpenSSL's source tree in May of 2004.

Perhaps Linus has commented on it. I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if the actual reason is that Git was thrown together as a weekend project, that he vaguely knew SHA-256 was preferable, but his distro's OpenSSL didn't have it yet.

So the initial version used SHA-1 instead, and the rest is history...

That's certainly a possibility, but I'm not sure Foster would necessarily be the best tool for a use case like that. Our contributors tend not to directly re-write specific content. Most of the input happens at the idea level. A lot of GPT-3 tools like Wordtune would likely be more helpful in finding new language to express the same idea.
The deep state is a real thing. I don’t think it has to be explicitly negative, but there are a lot of unelected bureaucrats that hold a lot of power with minimal accountability and visibility.
Yep. The so called "nutritional science" community is a joke. Except that it isn't funny. Millions of people needlessly die every year because of bad nutritional advise. Type 2 diabetes is routinely reversed for example by lowering dietary carbs. However most doctors don't even know that.
if it was just Al Gore there wouldn't be an issue. but it keeps happening: https://extinctionclock.org
>How are the laws that allow the US gov to exclude citizens from owning these not 'un-constitutional'?

The right to bear arms has been decided by the Supreme Court to apply to arms that are bearable.

Also, if a ragtag group of uneducated goatherders can hold off the US Military for 20 years in Afghanistan with AK-47's then the 400 million "small arms" in private hands in the US is more than enough.

Okay, but clearly ICE vehicles do those things too. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to me to eschew electrification of vehicle drivetrains just because you can’t yet solve tire wear pollution.

I’m very much in the “let’s design our cities for people and bicycles” camp, but if people have to drive, I’d certainly prefer not to have my kids breathing the by-products of combusting hydrocarbons all day every day.
Why Do Apple and Microsoft Hate Checkboxes?
I agree with this, especially the part about working to build inner authenticity first. An abrupt remark isn't relevant to the success you may need help to produce. Being a jerk also isn't acceptable, though. There may have been a better followup story where the guy recognized he was being unconstructively critical. Maybe it got cut.

If your mind understood this story, the same narrative style is used in the classic book, "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie.
I'm not strongly opinionated on Rust specifically but I'm not sure:

> Rust eliminates some defects entirely.

Is really a true premise, and to the extent it is true, is not a clear to me that it makes Rust better or safer than languages who don't eliminate this class of bugs.

Unsafe exists, is widely used, and importantly is used in places where the hairiest versions of these bugs tend to live anyways.

For safe code, I think it's clear that what we as programmers really care about is "how much does the language reduce the number of defects weighted by severity". If Rust reduces the number of memory bugs but increases other types of bugs due to increased complexity, that might not be a net win.

Personally my guess is that Rust is a net win in this regard, but I don't think we have any evidence of that.
I used to travel with our sales people when they had to do demoes. Even with internet, they'd bring a small desktop computer, a monitor, a WiFi router, a bag of Ethernet cables, all assorted keyboard and mouse paraphernalia all in its very own carry on bag.

Needless to say, we always planned for extra time at security...
This is really good feedback. Thank you.
>Individuals with guns pose little threat to the power of a government heavily armed with powerful military weapons and armored vehicles.

Afghanistan & Vietnam proved otherwise.

What you're saying is demonstrably false.
Hacking a Hardware Wallet to get $6M in Bitcoin
There are two classes of application that are of interest here. One that is in fact a glossy database front end that might be embellished with data validation and multiple input and out mechanisms. These apps are often very good at guiding users in the addition or selection of data.

The other class is one where the application manages a business process, with or without people being involved. In this case the data is more saved state rather than business data. Obviously other data will be involved but if the primary purpose is managing the process then I consider this to be a counter example.
Unfortunately all of these have some kind of drawback but in most cases any one of them should work.

- send-anywhere.com. This one is super easy and always works, you can even send over different networks. But there are ads and I don't 100% trust if the company has access to the data you send. I recommend this one if you have uBlock and don't care.

- webwormhole.io. Drawback: doesn't always work. Out of the other non-working tools this one is most reliable but still, sometimes it just doesn't work (maybe LAN issue?)

- snapdrop.net. Drawback: doesn't always work.

- KDE Connect. Drawback: doesn't always work, for example between mac and debian.

- USB stick. Best one by far if you actually have it, doesn't even need wifi. But of course you can't transfer between mobile. Also: your USB must be formatted to FAT32 or some OSs won't support it.

There were plainclothes cops in the crowd. So what? The rest of the article is just unfounded accusations. Some people said a goon handing out weapons dressed head to toe in red 'looked like a cop'. The next paragraph dedicated to bigging up some guy's qualifications just so he can rehash the old antifa conspiracy.
If we're going to credit books with potentially expanding your vocabulary, we should at least acknowledge that while you can mindlessly scroll through insta and tiktok you can also be consuming thoughtful and educational content. Even tiktok which doesn't exactly lend itself to useful content has some great stuff.

Books, TV, the internet, cell phones all have the potential to benefit you. They often don't, but it's not the medium that's the problem, it's our own choices - except the spying on you bit. That's 100% a problem with TV, the internet, cell phones and now even books.

A) "they" don't use your code. individual Copilot users might.

B) the first setting in Copilot is whether or not to use code snippets verbatim. if a user turns that off, they won't be copying anything directly, even if it is a single-line function.

C) I seriously doubt that you care enough about code you put in a repo on GitHub being used by someone else to go all the way to court.

D) in the unlikely event that someone does steal your code, you would need to find out about that.

E) you don't need to use Copilot to steal code.

F) you would be going up against Microsoft's lawyers, after they have vetted the legality of this tool and let the product go to market.
Well, that is one solution, but I would not want to have a urgent problem at that specific time.
Seems like since it's not _really_ a Pro, is there really a market for this particular model? Enough Touch Bar fans to purchase the last remaining model that has one? Otherwise, why not get the Air?
I'm all for anti-academia content, but a lot of this did not seem relatable to me. A lot of the advice concerns may be a subset of academics but hopefully not all, because I was specifically advised NOT to be like this. For example, I am not afraid to ask questions, if anything my academic experience taught me to ask questions without hesitation. Same for presenting your work for a specific audience, the "no one cares that you're smart." Every presentation I gave was framed with that in my mind, who your talk / presentation is for. The academic speak really isn't because it makes you sound smart, it's honestly just easier than speaking either for a general audience or for someone for whom the results that are distilled down to be used for a decision or something else, as they said. THAT is much more difficult but it's what you learn as an academic, at least it's what I learned.

Also, taking "assignments" is probably the thing I relate to least. I feel like a lot of research groups out there are top-down like that but I'm lucky I've never been in one.
Hehe, the signal integrity stuff can really bite if using those cheap USB3.0 extenders.

Switches always seem more unessarrily indeterminate compared to switches.

And I don't see how people actually swipe on them.
My first intuition of a knowledge graph would be an IDE. If that's not right, how am I wrong? If it is a typical use, what IDE(like) examples are there? Org-mode is a tree instead of a general graph, but general graphs can be traversed as (sets of) trees. Is the tree discipline somehow important to understanding code?
Definitely interesting idea! Congrats on shipping.

My two cents: Switch up the pricing plans. I certainly would never pay $50 per month (and my gosh $100?!?) for this service, but I may want to watch more than 10 pages your $10 plan has.

My suggestion, is to just simplify all the pricing. Get rid of all the tiers. Keep the free and $10/month tiers. Make the $10 tier do unlimited pages. No one needs 10 min or 1 min updates. I think do hourly updates on the $10 tier.

I think you'll find that more people are willing to subscribe if you bring the price down while providing more value for that.
Regarding apps, I was just thinking you could create a directory structure like this, essentially eschewing the whole concept of Django "apps":

<project>
src/
<package>/
models/
__init__.py # Import all model classes (necessary for Django to find them)
some_model.py # Define SomeModel class
views/
__init__.py
some_view.py # Views for SomeModel
settings.py # Add "<package>" to INSTALLED_APPS
urls.py

You still need to register the top level package as an app for Django to find things, but then you don't have to deal with Django's concept of apps beyond that. All your tables will be named <package>_<model> by default, which seems nice.

If it turns out later you need resusable "apps" for some reason, you could always add an apps/ subpackage for them.

I haven't tried this in a real project, so I don't know if there are any downsides, but it seems like a decent approach.

I remember seeing that happen A LOT, during the inital push for Kyiv. The Ukrainians would only destroy the first few vehicles in a convoy to block the road at strategic points, then target fuel trucks. The Russians had to keep everything running to keep warm because of the time of year, but weren't advancing, and eventually abandoned a lot of vehicles and equipment.

I'm pretty sure Ukraine still has more tanks than they started the war with as a result of these tactics.
Yes, that's it. The picture is of the temple of Kukulcán in Chichen Itzam, Yucatan, Mexico.
Yea its the corporations, lobbyists, think-tanks and those who pay them. Its consolidation of corporate power. Its fascism
I think it is a bit more complicated than the Southern Strategy. Republicans didn't start winning the south until Reagan and lost a decent chunk of the South when Clinton won.
Are you talking about Government employees or lobbyists? BTW, notice that their power is circumscribed by the law. When that changes their powers change.

In a past life I used to work for an anti-virus company who in addition to the Windows product sold the very portable virus-scanning engine for pretty much any other OS you could name. I worked in the *nix department, where we ported it to everything from Linux to the BSDs, HP/UX, Solaris & beyond, as well as more obscure setups like z/OS.

So, we sold people software that would run on some fridge-sized Sun machine running Solaris, to ensure that their Solaris machine wasn't about to get infected with the latest Windows virus.

The occasional support calls with technically minded *nix admins were amusing. We knew that what we were selling them was completely useless and made to secret of that fact, they likewise knew that the software they were running was useless to them. The one thing they cared about was that it didn't contribute to the load, and we did our best.

But some PHB somewhere in their organizations had decreed that all computers everywhere must have an anti-virus scanner, and if you're sufficiently motivated to buy something eventually someone will sell it to you, even while telling you that you don't need it :)

Because they are not oppressed and the system is not rigged against them (at least in the US). Each person has plenty of opportunity to do better. It's all about choice. You can choose to stay with your low-paying job or put some effort into getting educated and move up. The key here is "effort".

And, the comment that millions of people will never rise above minimum wage jobs is laughable. With the amount of free/low-cost education (community college, free on-line classes, military GI Bill), and the huge shortage of skilled trade workers [0], anyone in the US can do better than minimum wage. It just takes effort.

Your kids will be breathing in non-exhaust emissions all day every day:

> "Non-exhaust emissions (NEE) are particles released into the air from brake wear, tyre wear, road surface wear and resuspension of road dust during on-road vehicle usage. No legislation is in place to limit or reduce NEE, but they cause a great deal of concern for air quality.

> "NEEs are currently believed to constitute the majority of primary particulate matter from road transport, 60 percent of PM2.5 and 73 percent of PM10 – and in its 2019 report ‘Non-Exhaust Emissions from Road Traffic’ by the UK Government’s Air Quality Expert Group (AQEG), it recommended that NEE are immediately recognised as a source of ambient concentrations of airborne particulate matter, even for vehicles with zero exhaust emissions of particles – such as EVs."

As ever, there are no easy answers. Everything costs.
I happened to really enjoy the section that followed Empire which I understand was off page in the books, and every scene with Hari Seldon. The section following the rest of the foundation was pretty boring to me once they got to their planet.

Anyways this sentence I think is at the heart of the question I was asking.

> Well, considering that in the Foundation books there are only humans, their ethnicity it's not an important trait (we can assume they are all white or all black for that matter), while their social class is often outlined and the only real difference is their gender, making it a mixed race show it's a sign of the times.

Did mixed races no exist at the time of the stories writing? Did the robot characters who looked human but were from a completely different world view connecting not exist? I don’t think additional diversity is as big a sign of the times as the source suggests.

Anyways the phrase that sparked my question was “bending objective facts”. A cultural change in what his good or even acceptable story telling is a subjective opinion and not something that can be stretched as far as “objective fact”
You really can't refrain from sharing your prejudices apparently.

I was born and am a good example of a privileged straight white male... so why is it that I have absolutely no trouble distinguishing between the minuscule number of zealous or hateful gay people out there, many of whom hold no position of power in society, in contrast to the large group of dimwitted retrogrades who are unable to reckon with the personal freedoms of others? These are the same people that gravitate toward religious lunacy and repressive politics in general all over the world.

I wonder why you even bring up homosexuality and polyamory together. Maybe next you'll dig up some stats to associate the two, but what you don't understand is that there's another way to live entirely and it's this... I don't care at all about the consensual romantic lives of other adults, I try to avoid characterizing gay, straight or really any large cohort of people as a group, and I especially don't feel any need to justify my straightness to anyone at all. It's pretty simple.
I haven't had any issues with Libre Office in years. They even have a paid corporate version with (supposedly) good support.

I believe a part of the data-privacy laws and sentiment in Europe comes both from the WWII and the civil wars/dictatorships/etc that happened across EU. When in our grandparents time (YMMV) the government was compiling list of citizens or checking what they were doing in their private lives, it was not to give them flowers. And while that still sounds pretty far from me, it was also fairly recent in the past so that there's some social residue of the sentiment.

BUT to answer the question directly, credit checks to the level they are performed in the USA sound like a horrifying thing and a total privacy breach for us EU citizens.
