Ask a bunch of technical people this question and you will be shocked to hear that most prefer technical managers. That’s due at least in part to people placing the highest value on things they are good at.

The worst manager I ever had was super technical but profoundly unable to relate to people. What I want most in a manager is (a) management skill, and (b) empathy.

It would be nice also if they’re technical, but a good manager can work around that limitation. A bad manager can’t work around whatever their limitations are. And everyone has limitations.

Hash functions too. If P=NP then you can reverse a hash in polynomial time.

NP is the set of all functions that you can verify a solution to in polyomial time, and the solution of the inverse-hash function is just a plaintext that hashes to the right value, and obviously you can check if a plaintext is right in polynomial time by just hashing it and comparing the hashes. Thus reversing a hash function is in NP, so if P=NP it's in P.

There's some subtlety here in that "reversing" a hash function really just means coming up with a plaintext that generates the right hash, not the original one, but you can put any polynomial-time set of constraints on the plaintext and finding a plaintext that satisfies those constraints (and hashes to the right value) is still in NP, so the subtlety really doesn't save you much.

Edit:

Side point, but since we're talking quantum, we should really be saying BQP=NP not P=NP, BQP being the problems solvable in polynomial time on a quantum computer, it's a superset of P and a subset of NP, but we don't know if it's equal to either or both. I.e. P=NP implies BQP=NP, BQP != NP implies P != NP, BQP != P implies P != NP, but the reverse of all of those statements isn't known to be true.
An advantage of the AMM is that anyone can get paid for providing liquidity.
Ubuntu is wonderful as long as they don't do a anything new, and you're using a derivative not raw Ubuntu.

I'm actually not even fully sure on the details what they even do that isn't in Debian aside from maybe some driver stuff and assorted annoyances like Snaps. I just know to stick with Ubuntu derivatives because almost all large popular apps seem to be well tested and designed to work on it, until the community gets tired of it and probably Fedora or something takes over.

It's the perfect example of "I'd rather have a mediocre standard than something excellent but obscure".

I'm not a fan of Pulse, because of its lack of low latency, although It still offers a lot over raw ALSA, and PipeWire solves basically all of it's issues.

But systemd is a lot more comprehensive, it doesn't seem to leave any use cases out, aside from ultralight embedded and old school "Control everything yourself with imperative scripting" style setups.
People have been screaming about that for every part of crypto.

How is the non-crypto-expert supposed to tell that the Terra and DOGE hate is real but the BTC and ETH hate isn't? Or that the ETH hate also is, and it's only the BTC hate that you should ignore? Or any of a number of different permutations?

Isn't the adoption of the honest work blocked by this inability to differentiate without lots of hours of research?

> I think legally there should be some allowance for exceeding the speed limit when passing

There is. Or rather, there might be. In the US, some states allow you speed while passing. The qualifications on how much you can speed range from "reasonable margin of safety" to specific numbers. And, some states further limit the situations where you can do this, for instance to only allowing it on two lane roads where you're pulling into the oncoming lane to pass.

Touché, the "Russians forced deplorables to vote for Trump" is another mass delusion.

Pretty much the only good thing you can say about Hillary is that she didn't lead a mass of cannon fodder democrats, and a select group of conspirators to assassinate her own VP.
But that doesn't explain a trend. If it was mainly networking, why wasn't this true in the 1980s?

> The States are within the power of the Court per the laws of the United States. The Courts just don’t have the power to make those laws; that’s what Congress is for.

Right, correct. However, I think where we disagree is the assumption that the Court can only perform judicial review on state laws when they violated explicitly enumerated rights in the constitution or US federal law. That's not true, the Court can enforce the due process clause even when there's no explicit federal law or enumerated right.

If this were not the case, Loving v. Virginia could not have been decided. The court ruled that the state law had violated both the equal protection and the due process clauses. Congress hadn't passed a law mandating that states allow interracial marriage, and it wasn't explicitly enumerated in the constitution.

The court ruled that

1. Marriage is a fundamental constitutional right
2. States depriving people of that right was unconstitutional

There's nothing stopping the court from using those exact same clauses to rule

1. Abortion prior to viability is a fundamental constitutional right
2. States depriving people of that right was unconstitutional

Of course, you could go all Andrew Jackson on it and say that the court has overstepped its bounds (though I'd disagree), but the court ultimately won. Given how vague a lot of the language we're talking about here is, history has shown repeatedly the court can essentially interpret it as strictly or as loosely as they want, as long as they can convince the rest of the country to go along with it.

> So are you arguing that you can find the equivalent of Roe v Wade in the privileges or immunities clause?

Like I said, I don't think I should look to the privileges or immunities clause first, but I could definitely envision a much broader interpretation of what "privileges or immunities" are to cover any fundamental human right.

> “The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.”

Because this doesn't say "exclusive power", it the court has leeway to interpret itself into a role here. It may have been intended to be an exclusive power, but the court is very big on plain language.

The average home price in the USA is about 300k so clearly this is wildly overstated.

Yes some parents would rather send thier kids to a private school and to be frank, we do, but that is a choice not a requirement.

I don't know any place where the only option for schooling is an expensive private school.

Saying that kids are not financial worth it, then constantly moving the goal posts to create a strawman to justify it is a waste of people's time.

If someone wants to argue that kids with special needs who require private schooling and a fully detached house in Palo Alto are expensive and a stretch to financially justify that is one thing but let's get a clear play field so that the goal posts are not constantly in flux.
Yes, the qualifier of "surviving" is very important. Trying to look quickly for a hard number, it seems that the usual estimate (perhaps one study being widely reported rather than hard estimates) is about 5-10% of works surviving.

In the modern day, I think we are doing a better of job of preservation and archival than existed in Classical times. Take something like Geocities--we had a major archival organization step in to preserve a record of what is effectively non-notable people writing about non-notable things. While I'm unsure if that particular archival record will exist in 2,000 years, I strongly suspect that there will exist some notable archive of non-notable people writing about non-notable things, the kind of record that historians today can only dream of having from those who existed 2,000 years prior to us.
So much this. Our town is trying. They're trying to educate people about it. They are showing people how much water we're collectively consuming per day, how much lower the water table is than in previous years etc. And it seems that nobody cares. Water consumption numbers are actually going up and I see people running sprinklers. I'm hoping the town will actually soon switch from only allowing sprinklers during the night to disallowing sprinklers altogether and actually enforcing that.
I don't mean payment providers, I mean Apple device APIs like HealthKit, WeatherKit, SwiftUI, CoreML, ARKit, etc. Nobody is stripping all that out (there aren't even real competitors for a lot of these things).
"Error in your ways?" Are you serious?

That's why the parent mentions AF_XDP. AF_XDP allows to get raw packets into userspace, bypassing the kernel stack. There users can run e.g. a custom TCP stack to process the packets. That's similar to what can be done with DPDK.

And both tools allow to export a "regular NIC" to the user. With AF_XDP one would probably just run the AF_XDP socket in a way which intercepts packets for a certain port, and leave all other traffic alone. That would then flow through the regular kernel stack, and the network interface would continue to show up as without XDP.
Ugh, this thread! For years I pleaded with people to understand that there was value to being able to start up in a deterministic manner, but some shell scripts that don't actually work are supposed to be enough? Then someone finally solves the problem and it is written off as some kind of weird corporate control move. And people could still come up with some kind of alternative, but the open source movement that solved problems for people has been replaced by a hostile cargo cult.

At least I get to use systemd not just for reliable start up but also controlling the services that so many applications are made of nowadays. But it feels like some terrible Balkan conflict that just won't simmer down.
Since when would npm install modify a yarn lock file?
I ask two questions to see if passes the smell test:

1. Does this work if the floater is worth 0?

2. Is there some kind of natural cap? In other words, can I print an infinite amount of dollars?

None of the implementations works without some value being attributable to the floating token(s). Similarly, I never hear of any natural caps. For instance, you can create a stable coin with a market cap of $100 and just mint N tokens of the floater for M where M*N = 100. But why can't you mint more and sell at a slightly lower price? Is there some natural limit? If so, can't the price of the floater go down to such a level to not be able to support the market cap?
> scientific "advancement" is less of an increase in knowledge than a decrease in falsity

This framing seems extremely useful from a pedagogical standpoint.

Distinguishing scientific units-of-advancement as 'eliminated falsehoods' + 'the tests used to rule out the untruths' would be have been a wonderful correction in my science education.

I was an Oracle DBA for 11 years.

The joke is:

Q: What is the difference between a DBA and a terrorist?
A: You can negotiate with a terrorist.

After being a DBA, I moved into security, so I could tell people NO with even less consideration and more cruelty.
I’ve read a lot about the hoplite battlefield. I would rather be in a bronze corselet if facing another hoplite phalanx (which was the common city state standoff in the archaic and early classical period).

Also, the bronze xyphos largely disappeared with Bronze Age society. Some soldiers preferred them to iron swords in the archaic period because a bronze sword could be recast by its owner if it broke, where a blacksmith was required to reforge an iron one (though the iron sword was much less like to break and held its edge much better)

This is interesting, but flagging for editorialized title. The authors note specifically this is perceived effects based on survey results. That's very different than the editorialized title "No positive effect of cash".

The only thing stopping me being a very successful criminal since the world went to shit and leaders started getting away with heinous obvious shit is the thought that my parents would be very disappointed.

Two pictures 10 minutes apart of sun close to the horizon (and UTC Timecode) is all you need. Python Astropy gives also size of the sun (i.e. photo scale), so you have everything you need to reverse this function.

def sun_angle(mon,day,hour,min,sec,lat,lon):
import astropy.coordinates as coord
from astropy.time import Time
import astropy.units as u
loc = coord.EarthLocation(lon=lon * u.deg, lat=lat * u.deg)
times = f'2022-{mon}-{day}T{hour}:{min}:{sec}'
now = Time(times, format='isot', scale='utc')
altaz = coord.AltAz(location=loc, obstime=now)
sun = coord.get_sun(now).transform_to(altaz).alt
return sun.degree

I'm not sure if naivety is the best word. It's more like laziness that translates into blind trust. The manager doesn't manage, they just push the problem to someone else.
There are some factors in the psychology of poverty that explain some of this.

When someone in poverty gets a windfall, they tend to spend it immediately because they know that if they save it, it will get nickeled and dimed away from them in short order by their existing debts or their friends and family asking for help. The only way they will actually get to enjoy that money is to spend it all right away. After doing that, they are no better off financially than they were before.

The other aspect of this study is that the cash transfers were not enough to cover the participant's needs. Perhaps it would be different if the money was enough to cover all their bills.

I’m seriously worried it won’t happen fast enough. I don’t like the “if this blows up we’ll fix it later” school of things. I’d much prefer to be prepared for the obvious possibility ahead of time and it never blow up.

Honestly there’s a case for going after Android itself, it killed the market for phones OSes since why develop/charge for one when you can get it for free. MS had no way to compete with free.

But how could you ever undo that at this point?

(Exception is Apple who was already established and does everything on their own anyway and the cash to fund it)
philmcc recommended this talk: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31981864

Jason Cohen talks a bit about why creating a B2C business is extremely difficult, and why B2B is better for self-funded startups. Amazing talk, and everything he said matches what I have seen of other businesses locally and my own experience (I am a successful B2B self-funded co-founder in one of the categories he mentioned).

The other microconf talks are also worth watching, as they have bits of very valuable information, but Jason’s talk is just next-level and all of his info seems solid.
> Without a really deep dive I'm not certain the island-country numbers of Australia or Japan would be achievable in the US

If “being an island nation” was all it took to eradicate Covid, why was Hawaii unable to do so?

It’s clear border security was a rather important factor. And can you think of a more essential responsibility of government than securing the borders?

Gentle reminder that Australia is an “island country” the size of the continental US with several densely-populated major cities.
1%-2% per month doesn't pass the smell test for something stable. You're taking on some risk, it's just hidden from you. And thats the worst kind of risk to take on. Just look at the extremes. The big risk here is impermanent loss which is inevitable unless the relative price remains stable. Or they could both go down and relative to fiat you'd be down as well

> practically all other domesticated animals are more efficient than beef on a per-calorie basis

yes, this is true, although some of those, like chickens which you mentioned, or pigs that are mentioned in the link you shared, are dependent on grains - unlike beef, which can be grass-fed.

But there are more animals besides beef that can be grass-fed, and they might be more efficient than beef.

It would be interesting to know the feed conversion ratios of goats and sheep for example.

The problem of goats and sheep is that, in a regenerative faming context, their manure is not perceived to be as effective as cow manure.

For this reason, would be interesting to measure both feed conversion ratios AND manure production ratio.

Knowing the effectiveness of manure in a regenerative farming context is very important, unless we want to continue depending on fertilisers made from petroleum which is just as bad as burning gasoline in terms of global warming.
It's been a while since I've looked at OpenSSL source, or read its compilation instructions in particular, but I remember it tells you to "make test" or similar to run the tests before installing.
Apple accused of 'STEALING' logo from startup
I can think of two where this tool could be a first step -

1. Do you ever have a program that kind of just sucks? A bit slower than you expect, laggy but not in any specific way? The fundamental cause could be many things, but it could be, for example, thrashing memory pointlessly. I've seen processes memset/bzero then write, then memset/bzero for seemingly no reason and the source is difficult to follow.

2. How does struct alignment and malloc alignment impact your program? Maybe you could reduce your working set by using packed structs or changing the order of elements. Maybe you could choose a different allocator. But this tool could show you if you've got a bunch of loose space floating around
In our basest theory QFT, no particle is fundamental because they're actually "fields" - but those fields are fundamental so that doesn't answer your question. We just think they're fundamental because we don't have enough evidence to construct anything better than the Standard Model.

It's not possible to do better than that, though, because you can't prove a negative statement like "there are no more fundamental particles". Even if we understood the laws of physics completely, they could always change on us. It's all up to the guy who owns the universe simulator.
As far as I know, Texas has not removed tenure. In 2015, Wisconsin significantly weakened their system and Georgia did as well in 2021. There was a paper published last year that discusses the impact of the political decisions on Wisconsin's university system that can be found here:

https://peer.asee.org/impacts-of-governmental-policy-actions...

This does discuss the impact of essentially removing tenure, but the impact is also intertwined with budget cuts enacted around the same time. As a side comment, the good faculty that I know would absolutely favor a tenured job over a non-tenured.
Or worse, bundle things together. So if you want to remove some junk it also removes essential things like being able to call somebody.
