Via a transparent and public legal process.

In China there is no:

1. Public legal process for data requests
2. Now that I think about it, there are no requests for data at all (they don't have to ask, it's just given)
3. Ability for any Chinese company to say no to gov requests

Surely you don't view these circumstances as the same?

Another interesting software to look at the UI/UX of is 3D design/animation software.

From Softimage, ALIAS|Wavefront through Maya to Blender etc... This UI model is interesting.

I personally started on Softimage on the SGI (Also, I didnt see IRIX in the list).

But Softimage had one of the most novel UIs of its time.

You're really missing the point. Every patient is unique. That's why competent healthcare providers take a step therapy approach and try cheaper, lower-risk treatments first before moving on to more expensive and riskier medication or bariatric surgery.

I think you could have written this opinion instead of your initial comment, and it would have been better received.

In my view, it's not one or the other. Studying and correcting mistakes of the past can also provide a hint for where to find injustice in the present.
Those who belong to a small volunteer-based, mostly offline organization, know how hard it is to keep people who will do essential administrative work for free.

You can hold elections, people can have fancy titles, but frequently there's still only one person if you're lucky who will "run" for office. And so they can't be fired, and if/when they burn out and quit, the organization may crumble.

When I think of the sort of person who is unreasonably demanding of an open source maintainer, I think of the sort of person who is on LinkedIn and has padded their resume/profile with various wholesome volunteer gigs.

But this is a contradiction - because if the latter is true, they should be intuitively aware of the dynamic.

Also, another expectation I would have is that anyone with more than a year or two of corporate experience would know that even when people are being paid little attention is given to preparing for transitions, people quitting, people retiring, and so on.

Clearly there are some significant false premises buried somewhere.
> Labour was cheap and plenty

That is a misconception. Slaves were expensive: one slave was about a soldier's pay for an entire year; and things made using manual labor, too, were very expensive - if you had to buy them, of course.
This applies to so many systems that have irreversible status transitions. I have seen this again and again over my career as a developer. A foolproof system is designed and then some fool of a user puts it in a different state from reality, after which it requires all kinds of tricking the system to make it match the observable universe.

By now this should be system design 101: the system should always have an override to move a record from any state into any other state.

Also taking place in this time frame was the move towards "multimedia PC" standards. At its onset, MPC Level 1 helped consolidate the standards around VGA spec and Soundblaster audio, when before that, the expectations for PC games were that it was primarily an office computer and didn't "do" graphics or sound, so you just had to try to support everything, especially if you were doing shareware and wanted high install rates. So around 1991, when that spec was released, you start to see VGA as a requirement, but shareware did stay behind the curve to support "granny PCs".

Doom really changed this. Lots of people ran out and got new systems for the sake of Doom, when before there was an association between high end machines and complicated simulator games. And while there were still casual games that remained focused on the "granny PC" well into the 2000's, the market really redefined itself in a big way around this new wave of enthusiasts playing shooter games.
I'm sure it's rare, but when it does happen it makes waves. The chinese lab leak theory is the first thing that comes to mind, but also the CDC director going on TV to tell the nation if you got vaccinated you wouldn't catch covid, get sick, or spread covid is another that comes to mind.

Vaccination rates in children have plummeted, and I suspect if we thought anti-vax rhetoric was bad pre-covid, it's not going to hold a candle to the near future.

"How do you do?" is formal and mostly only used in quite "upper class" circles these days. The formal, proper way to reply is indeed to say the same. It's not an actual question, think of it as a more of a greeting.

Some members of the Royal family were reported to refer to the Middletons (Prince William's in-laws) as the "great to meet you" in a condescending way because they were said to be saying that instead of "how do you do?" when introduced to people/them...

Whole Sichuan peppercorns are most prominently used in Sichuan cooking where they can be the star of a dish (e.g. mapo tofu). However, the powder form is a central ingredient in the so-called "Five Spices" mix:

- star anise
- fennel
- cinnamon
- clove
- sichuan peppercorns

This "five spices" powder is used very often in Northern Chinese cooking as a meat or tofu rub.

In addition, sichuan peppercorns are often used in lushui in the south:

Let me go in a different direction than other commentors. "How are you?" is a little less hollow of meaning than I think you perceive it to be.

>Maybe it's cultural, but I find it extremely superfluous, especially in a work context. It signals a very cheap understanding of care: a standard one-shot catchphrase one can use to measure mood and happiness.

You may be surprised to learn how many people would be totally fine with you giving them a real response to that question. Even if the situation (say, a business setting) does not allow the time or context to give a full answer, you may say "Busy! Really working away at this sprint" or "Tired, kids kept me up all night" or whatever, but that's real communication and not just superficial talking.
this is sort of one of the weird problems that shows up at the intersection between science in the public interest and a market driven system of production.

pure science that is publicly funded in the public interest would publish all raw data along with re-runnable processing pipelines that will literally reproduce the figures of interest.

but, the funding is often provided by governments with the aim of producing commercializable new technology that can make life better for society.

the problem is that if you do the science in the open, then it can be literally picked off by large incumbents before smaller inventors have a chance to try and spin up commercialization of their life's work.

so we have this system today where science is semi-closed in order to protect the inventors, but sometimes to the detriment of the science itself.

Everything is contextual, there probably is racism in my company, somewhere. Calling it out when seen is something that has been pretty normal in my professional life.

Maybe it’s because my first CIO was gay, or that I was working in a metrosexual community.

Same with racism, I grew up shoulder to shoulder with south Asians and black people because that’s just how life is when you live in a multicultural society and they haven’t been adequately scapegoated.

I can’t convince you that you’re wrong about this, because you’re not in most circumstances; but good people, in my experience, do not do nothing in the face of bigotry in the workplace.

The difference, however, is that there is an unmitigated independent group who have decided what utopia means and can not care about the means to their end.

The unfortunate situation I’m in is that I support their cause, but they’re bringing the movement down.

Addendum: you’re also subtly implying the MD was somehow guilty of being against D&I, as he was dragged publicly, despite literally spearheading these initiatives and winning many awards for his work in promoting D&I in the industry and independently in the region. I find that kind of a reach honestly.
Also, I have not seen this as a consideration but it appears an important distinction to me, he made money playing baseball, but entered (and won) the Olympics in track and field, that is, not his professional sport.

> The way this post starts off talking about grammar is a yellow flag for me, if not red.

I thought the post was full of useful guidance. I'm not sure what you mean with the comment about flag color. I tend to use terms like "red flag" to mean "Something is seriously amiss; perhaps I should look elsewhere for good advice.", but that doesn't seem to apply here: covering grammar in an article whose audience is people who write as part of their profession seems completely appropriate. Conversely, I'm not sure I agree with the advice that it's OK to simply not worry about it. Perhaps it depends on the experience level the guide is targeting. There are certainly more important aspects to technical documentation than grammar!

FWIW, I end up tripping over others' grammar errors far too frequently for my own comfort, though. When I've asked, it's not that they don't know in most cases, just that they don't think it matters. I tend to care both because it reads more smoothly, and because it indicates they paid attention to their work (something I value greatly). Not definitive, but certainly a strong signal.

That said, my grammar is rarely perfect, and I strongly agree that focusing on helping others is the real objective here.
I'm sorry if it sounded like I'm dismissing it. Async/await is very useful for massive IO in many programming languages. I've personally worked with a lot of async Python, which can be painful to write. Rust's static typing does make things much better.

However, the reason I like Go's approach so much is because it abstracts away all the mundane details about scheduling, and lets us focus on what we want. If we want 1000 threads of execution running concurrently and doing something complex, we can just `go` 1000 functions and pass the corresponding channels to them - the optimal way (MxN coroutine-thread mapping) is already invented and it's been implemented inside the language.

Rust will probably always win when it comes to extreme optimizations. Golang's strength is in simplicity and straightforwardness in writing everyday concurrent code.
I'd argue this is true for paid positions as well - particularly ones where work keeps getting dumped on one or two individuals to keep up the whole artifice while others move on. Eventually one or both of them have had enough, and then there's no one left who remembers why the spangle is always switched to the left on a daily basis...
To me it seems that we're coming at the peak heat of 88 year cycle (and that is on top of the global warming base trend) and thus droughts and a lot of similarities to the 1930's. (as a cherry on top the surprising coincidence of political situation - a fascist regime wanting to expand its living space into the same vast agricultural areas of Ukraine, as well as an actively industrializing empire in the Far East having great hunger for the resources and territories of its neighbors).
Same reason people believe the clearly fabricated conspiracies made popular by CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, and most other “news” sources over the past several years - a polarized nation with institutions and authority figures that have found success in dividing people against each other to get them to support “their side” more unequivocally, leading to a persistent sense of underdog-ism and susceptibility to hero complexes.
watered with what water?
Yes, but if you use the `?` operator, as the comment I replied to suggested, then you have to return a `Result`, which the caller has to unwrap themselves or otherwise handle. Except the caller doesn't have this context about how it can't be an error because it's a static string. Propagating the (impossible) error up the call chain is the worst of all worlds in a case like this.
If the hashes are retrieved over the same channel as the package (i.e. HTTPS), and that channel is unfortunately compromised, why wouldn't a MITM tool change those software package artifact hash checksums too?

Only if the key used to sign the package / package manifest with per-file hashes is or was retrieved over a different channel (i.e. WKD, HKP (HTTPS w/w/o Certificate Pinning (*))), and the key is trusted to sign for that package, then install the software package artifact and assign file permissions and extended filesystem attributes.
If there is anti-matter, couldn't there be anti-energy?
Most programs have a pretty good idea of what they’ll be doing in their lifetime. They’ll open some files, read some inputs, generate some outputs. Maybe they’ll connect to a server over the Internet to download something. Maybe they’ll write something to disk.

pledge() allows programs to declare up front what they’ll be doing. Functionality is divided into a reasonably small number of “promises” that can be combined. Each promise is basically a subset of the kernel’s syscalls.

Once you’ve pledged a set of promises, you can’t add more promises, only remove ones you’ve already made.

If a program then attempts to do something that it said it wouldn’t be doing, the kernel immediately terminates the program.
Not really. The evidence is mounting that Donald Trump attempted a violent overthrow of the US government, so the many in SV who criticized Luckey for supporting him were right in my estimation.

There is absolutely no evidence that this is an intrinsic characteristic of a democracy. This is the fundamental problem with your naive proposal. There's no such thing as "for the good of all."

It's as if people don't read the article before commenting, because the author mentions exactly this use case too:

> Perhaps you’re doing prototyping and just need something that works most of the time, or you’re writing a simple app with limited error-handling needs. Some people use unwrap and expect for this situation, but I don’t. I use ? even in that situation, because I never know when prototype code might have to escalate to production code – either so suddenly there’s no time for me to intervene and improve the error handling or so gradually there’s no occasion for it and it never gets prioritized. Fixing crappy usage of ? in such a situation is way easier and more likely to happen than fixing a bunch of expects or unwraps.
What a bay-of-pigheaded comment.
I didn't think I was splitting hairs. The data does not suggest what you say because the foundational assumptions stop being true the closer we get to the finish line. That's why you can't extrapolate the current trend all the way. It will take a different path.

In the US, there was one nuclear plant that went online in this century: it is the second unit of the plant in Tennessee whose construction started in 1973. It was finished in 2016, after 43 years. There is also a construction in progress in Georgia, currently approaching 20 years of development.

The problem with government inefficiency and nuclear is that the governments are the only ones that dare spend money on it. An example of a private investment was the plant in South Carolina that was halted after 9 billion spent. The reason was that they realized they would not make it in time to cash in on a subsidy, and without that the project would never ever be profitable. And normally you could say it happens, it's the company's money, but the debt is being paid by the utility's customers. They're paying for electricity from a power plant that does not exist.

I don't understand the people that think this is a rational solution.
A lot of it is that people want to be told what they want to hear.
They don't want to hear that imageboards aren't really any different than Reddit.

It's pretty trivial to tell that a large portion of JWST's delays were related to the unfolding mechanism (first building it, then the 5 years of delays from a ripped sunshield, loose screws and more), much of which would be rendered unnecessary by Starship's wider payload bay. Thus of course it would've saved a ton of money on the telescope. The telescope wouldn't have needed so much testing if it didn't have 344 single points of failure, and it wouldn't have that many of those if it didn't need its unfolding mechanism.

If that isn't convincing enough, the budget plan including all folding mechanisms etc before testing was $6.5B, so the $3.5B extra was spent entirely on testing and repairs. Thus, if a folding mechanism was not needed, they could have saved at least that much on testing and fixing said mechanism.

Might be a good idea to take off your blinders before complaining about someone being more successful than you. Since your jealousy is blinding you so much, it would have been just as convenient for costs if any other rocket had a wider payload fairing than Ariane 5.

Silicon Valley's growth was funded by the defense industry beginning in the 1950's. It never stopped being part of the defense industry. VCs are private money. They can fund pet rocks if they think they will make money. The 800 Billion dollar defense budget is not like that.
Russia already had poor demographics before and now it is possibly spending years losing military age males?

Russia as a low prospect J-curve state might not be entertaining to the western media but it is basically the outcome the US has been gunning for since Gorbachev left, always with a lot of resistance from Germany. After a few more years of setting up alternative gas routes, I'm not sure Germany will even have a way to offer Russia yet another chance.
Do you think the current crop at the top of the current separatist movement really wants to leave or do you think they are just stoking tension to maintain the crazy subsidy program we have had in place for the last several decades in the face of increasing western objection to the large transfer to Quebec (and several other provinces, most notably the maritimes and territories) and the strengthening separatist movement in the prairies driven by these transfers? Or alternatively, in conjunction with the above do you think it's tension stoking to try to maintain their seats in parliament rather than the slow decline of Quebec federal power as population shifts west? Or is it none of the above and the guys running the show over there really do think it's a good idea to leave?

I can't wait for JWST 2.0, but we're only talking about JWST #2. We're not talking about upgrades, just another copy. I mean, it should be easy, right? It's in the cloud so to speak, so just spin up another instance and push to a different region. No problemo.
