Ages ago there was a company that planned to convert Tyson Chicken carcasses into gasoline via depolymerization. Problem was that’s a high pressure process, and they didn’t take that seriously enough at the start. Leaks everywhere. Neighborhood smelled like burnt chicken feathers.

They had to shut it down and redo all of the welding (I don’t recall if they fixed existing welds or pulled the whole thing apart). Afterward they still got complains about the smell, swore they’d fixed the leaks and the neighbors were imagining it. I suspect some esters were coming out the end of the pipe, and/or the dust everywhere around the place was saturated from the pilot project and every time the wind shifted they got another nose full.
It's much broader than none.
Whatever selection biases there may have been in the past, homeschooling is becoming much more popular now. COVID and remote school pulled back the curtain on the type and amount of learning that is happening in public schools, and parents of all types are opting out of the system.

What we are seeing now is a seismic shift that will result in a much more mainstream population of homeschooled kids. I doubt it will be as easy to tell which kids were homeschooled in a decade.
It's unfortunate how blind copying of log4j into many languages seems to have inhibited improvements in logging in the last ~20ish years.

Personally, as a consumer who could care less about who produced which game, the original Secret of Monkey Island - with all its pixel art glory - was a relatively hard game, like many of the games of the era, and was comparatively less enjoyable to me as a 80s/90s kid than the later Curse of Monkey Island, which had a more modern art style and much more interesting mechanics (IMHO) than just aimlessly clicking everywhere until you eventually found out the only way to move forward was to precisely time giving the bad guy a wedgie or whatever. I've also played other games with various degrees of pixelatedness, with later ones like Sam & Max and Indiana Jones being more enjoyable to me than older ones like the original Maniac Mansion, so I generally associate art style modernization in this particular genre as a good thing.

But ironically, I feel the opposite way about the Pokemon franchise, which has gone through a similar progression, with a change in art style towards a more slick art style along with a barrage of new game mechanics that I personally didn't really care so much for.

I think that ultimately people just want to consume more content that is similar to what they are already used to. It's why, I also think, bands w/ distinctly recognizable style like the Red Hot Chili Peppers did so well. The vitriol does seem completely unnecessary, though, I agree.
If you want to play in the science sandbox and be taken seriously by the other scientists, you don’t get to ask for “evidence of absence”. We haven't done science that way for four hundred years.

If you have an issue with that, that’s fine, go start your own community of researchers with your own principles and methods. See how much you discover. But you don’t complain about not being taken seriously by the people that think your approach is deeply flawed.
You see the same kind of stuff from book/movie/sports fans.
I don't think I am particularly dense, but I heavily struggle to tell what this is supposed to mean. I definitely appreciate this story being posted here, but I cannot put a finger on what kind of a feeling about Indonesia it is supposed to sum up.

So on your work trip to Bali, the devs from Indonesia suggested you dont reuse a plastic bottle due to BPAs in the water getting higher with reuse, you ignored their suggestion (presumably because BPAs arent a concern in this case?), and that sums up how you feel about Indonesia? I feel like I am missing something important in this story.

DroneUp | Remote or Virginia Beach, VA, USA | Drones & Cloud

DroneUp is building out a nationwide network of drone hubs to do all kinds of operations with drones. Want to get in on deliveries? We got you. Remote inspections? We do that too. Let's fly!

I work with the pathfinding team at DroneUp and we're hiring [0] [1]. We work with terrain elevation data, custom and public airspace information on AirMap dashboards and from the FAA. The software integrates with custom software built on open source QGroundControl to automatically build a route around terrain, buildings, airspace restrictions, etc. The software runs on a Linux laptop or Android tablet. The current software stack works primarily with C++, with some components also utilizing Qt, QML, Python, Docker, and bash.

There's also a bunch of other open positions on other teams and my manager asked me to poke about [2] [3]. If you're interested in devops, web or mobile applications, or building and integrating drone hardware then you should take a look at some of the other postings on our LinkedIn job board [4]! I'm aware that other teams might have need for javascript, golang, or Android & iOS developers. Our cloud stack currently includes AWS, Azure, and GCP and managed with Terraform and Kubernetes. We're also looking for Cloud Network Engineers, UAS Pilot Instructors, Drone Pilots, Product Owners, recruiters... we're looking to ramp up the company!

My team is fully remote, and can hire from many countries. If you're remote, you might be asked to come to the office once or twice a year for some in-person collaboration. If you've got more questions about HR stuff then please ask the HR guy who posted the job boards -- I'm just an engineer at the company ;)

And yet the dollar is getting stronger relative to other currencies.

This whole "government printing money" framing is very wrong.

The government was printing money and it led to tremendous growth. In other words, the economy was able to absorb the money which meant the money printing was absolutely appropriate.

However, we had several external supply side shocks due to the pandemic, and Russia's war on Ukraine, which drove the cost of goods higher. Since the US government cannot really stop Russia from killing civilians in Ukraine, or force China to get rid of its zero COVID policy, or single handedly fix the logistical breakdowns in all the shipping lines, etc, it has to rely on the only tool it has, which is cooling the economy. In essence, it's solving a supply chain shock with a demand side response, because that's all it controls.

In fact, the fact that the Fed had kept interest rates low and "printed money" meant that it has a lot of leeway to actually tackle this situation right now without causing too much pain. After several significant increases, the target rate is still 1.5-1.75, which takes us back to what the Fed had reduced it to during the peak of the 2008 crisis.

Which means that thanks to its policies, the Fed still has a lot of room to help control inflation without causing too much pain, something which wouldn't have been possible if it had prematurely raised rates earlier.
Back when anything that tracked your online movements was spyware, and you fought against it, found tools to remove it, and avoided it.

It's a matter of dropping a link. What's the harm. So people don't show up. Maybe they do.

Can it hurt? Maybe you'll get feedback, maybe you'll get nothing.

You need to just get out there and do something. Face your fear. Post a link. See what happens. Start talking to people.

If you think this is the hard part, it isn't. This is probably the easiest thing you are going to do.

It should be noted that the Patriot was being used outside of its original design goal when tasked with shooting down missiles. It was designed to shoot down Soviet interceptors, but had to pivot when the Soviet Union collapsed. Missiles were a stretch goal of the original project, but ended up being its primary mission.

Their parents are interested in having them get a sense of possible career paths.

I have never met the kid before. I honestly don't even know what this entails - I'm worried writing code is not a very fun spectator sport, so I probably won't walk him through whatever tedious piece of code I'm trying to write. I'm thinking I'll give him a quick overview of what the company does and then maybe just chat about programming with him.

I'm also considering giving him a very easy coding task in Python - not for work, just to keep him busy? - but it's difficult to gauge what's appropriate here.

Any suggestions or advice from people who have done something similar in the past?
Some of the shocks are completely fake. For example, in the classic electric guitar video [0], if you advance frame-by-frame and capture the frame containing the flash [1], it is obviously Photoshopped in. Poorly, I might add.

Unity was started in Europe. It moved to the US when it stopped being a startup. I think there is plenty of innovation in Europe. But you are right, there is something that makes it easier to go from small/medium to big/huge that is easier in the US, and laxer labour laws is probably part of the story.

> It's a matter of perspective. We have a culture that largely puts business interests above independent peoples interests.

No. It's about the fact that it's literally the CEO's job to put the business's interests above those of any individual employee. Anything else wouldn't make sense.
Similarly, the Tesla layoffs sounded like an office of in-house data labelers close to the tool developers in California being replaced by outsourced temp workers after the labeling tools reached maturity. It's a stretch to call that a tech layoff.
I agree that L4 is not an exokernel, though it does go a little further in the exokernel direction than conventional microkernels. I agree that FUSE is microkernelish rather than exokernelish, though there's nothing in the exokernel concept as I understand it that excludes the possibility of having servers for things like some or all of your filesystem functionality.

Databases are indeed an application that commonly suffers from having to run on top of a filesystem.

> That might be possible, but wouldn't really be faster than letting a kernel handle it, I'd guess?

I think reading files by invoking library calls that follow pointers around a memory-mapped filesystem might well be faster than reading files by repeatedly context-switching back and forth into even a supervisor-mode kernel, much less IPC rendezvous via a kernel with a filesystem server. This is particularly true in the brave new SSD world where context switch time is comparable to block device I/O latency, rather than being orders of magnitude smaller.

Writes to Kafka are very cheap and support extreme fan-in because the Kafka design pushes almost all the work out to the clients; the Kafka server does very little more than appending chunks of bytes, containing potentially many separate operations, to a log. It seems very plausible to me that this could be faster than handling a series of individual filesystem operations (whether in a kernel or in a microkernel-style server), at least for some applications; particularly with orders of magnitude lower penalties for nonlocality of reference than for traditional filesystems, and for applications where many writes are never read.

Running logic in the kernel or in a server using a restrictive interpreter is indeed an interesting architectural possibility, but from a certain point of view it's the opposite extreme from the Kafka approach.

Sure.

Along with respite, school gave me access to countless alternatives perspectives, influences, and people that would become part of my coping strategies.

I’m absolutely certain that home schooling is great for certain parents and certain children, but some kids are better off not being around their parents quite so much.
Agreed. One of the most confusing libraries with a ton of magic going on behind the scenes. I also detest PyTest, although not a std lib, pytest is one of the worst in terms of explicitness. It’s very useful but that’s orthogonal. I’ve seen newcomers to python struggle to grasp how pytest just manipulates a billion things behind the scenes.

Overall, I prefer less magic and more explicitness.
