Huh. Choosing a book at somewhat random - Mike by P.G. Wodehouse - neither the compatible or advanced (experimental?) epubs are working terribly well in Bluefire Reader on my iPad. I might poke at this with Calibre. Or if there are recommendations for another epub reader, with the caveat that I need annotations.

It looks like the workflow is per book. That ... seems odd.

That we need to “create” the idea of a “nudge effect” when it’s clear people take on commonly encountered social behaviors is bizarre.

Cognitive experience is a for loop with memory; for time spent in situation X, memory forms at rate Y. Social science solved.

Social science derives all it’s conclusions by studying the same old physical world as physical science. It’s restatement of science customized to cultural tradition. It’s cultural tradition to over hype our specialness selling books and big ideas, when the math is the same everywhere. Creating cultural objects of obvious math is a commodity now.
I see it differently. Rick understood the product. He was not bothered about writing code properly, he wanted to get working product out of the doors.

I am writing that, because once I was maintaining code after similar Rick. In the code were lot of "dumb errors" which turned out to be undocumented edge cases and thanks to those "dumb errors" code performed much better than competitors code. So I would take with a massive grain of a salt an evaluation of a code by a person who took over the code of such Rick when this person also had antipathy towards said Rick.
This attempt to exculpate the robot's actions (more more directly: the actions of its human programmers) is just ... bizarre. Yeah, the robot didn't specifically "grab" the boy's finger. It grabbed a piece while the boy's finger was still on it. Without having any idea what it was doing.

Same thing, in other words -- in terms of the end result. And more to the point, it was an action that a human player would most likely have bounced back from, before completing the intended motion.

The robot didn't do anything it wasn't programmed to do.

Yup, it sure didn't. And that's precisely the problem.

You need to measure memory usage with it, take the product of the two (memory and speed), and thus get a very good number on performance for comparison.

Imagine web had actual support for hypertext. Then you couldn't just "hotlink" images, but also "hotlink" (i.e. natively quote, and annotate) textual content, with arbitrary start and end-points. As it is, html can't can't even express the equivalent of margin notes or footnotes, because it has some braindamaged ideas about inline vs block elements and the former can't contain the latter (they changed the nomenclature, but I'm pretty sure the limitation remains).

I agree. The fact the 80s micros booted to BASIC put programming in front of you from the get go and subsequent machines hid programming away. The fact the machine came with a manual that was mostly about programming, they expected you to do that. If you wanted to play a game you often typed it in from a book (like the Usborne series). You tried to see if you could cheat or change the game by messing with the numbers which exposed you to tinkering with programming.
It's too bad that screenshots don't have more useful metadata. Or any useful metadata, beyond a timestamp.

I'd like to have the names of all programs visible in the screenshot (easy), possibly application specific metadata like the opened filename or a URL (more difficult) and more generally full OCR of the visible text (pretty easy). You'd need a PDF to get the most out of this, but presumably most other image formats have generic metadata storage.
...and only requires triple the management, analysis, oversight, and QC. I guess they assume their onshore people will work harder.

What also isn't appreciated besides the immediate dead pool effect outsourcing creates, is that it creates a scapegoat for the onshore people.

When your IT department is down the hall and you throw them under the rug, they walk down and ... meetings... ensue.

When they are around the world and subservient (because they are cheap and everyone knows it, so it's assumed they're bad and you can blame anything on them), then everyone will use that as an excuse, ESPECIALLY since all the extra management/requirements/analysis burden falls on them.

The issue with failed projects in the mythical man month is and has ALWAYS been communication and understanding. 10 time zones and a language and cultural barrier does not make up for that.

It is amazing a 1970s era book remains so ignored. It should be taught in MBA school. No I mean MBA not MIS. I highly doubt it is.

It amazes me that accounting is treated as a core subject of MBA, while basic IT literacy and process is not, even though there is FAR more IT that accounting in a modern enterprise.
Yeah, I think it can be great if you're intentional about what you're preserving and why. To elaborate a bit, I went from having tens of thousands of emails a few years ago to "only" having about 5k now. I did that by adopting a strategy of aggressively deleting trivial emails. I apply "aggressive decluttering" throughout my digital life, with screenshots also (trying to stay on topic a bit), old conversations, failed creative projects, etc, and have found the benefits of less clutter to be profound.

I never really regret deleting something, but that could be because I try to keep my life simple, within reason, and focus on the future.

I also recognize, as you point out, that there are limits to this -- sometimes there is a genuine need to keep a record. As a programmer, my work is all tracked in git. For a creative professional, I assume that a basic requirement of that sort of job is an excellent backup system.
Our seismological record-keeping is still very young so, most powerful in recorded history of Japan sounds more impressive that it probably is.

To all the people in the replies who got told to f-off: Who were you giving your resumes to? When I was working min-wage retail, the other staff were notorious for trashing any resumes that came their way. For "job security". The manager/owner never saw them. This was also around 2008-2010.

As an old school cuber, I kinda wish we always did no inspection solves, at least as one event. It always seemed like the "real" way to do it.

There are logistical problems though. Keeping people from seeing the mix before it's their turn to solve becomes essential. Or you could go with just giving each competitor a unique mix.

How? Rail at least provides a direct conductive path. Electrified highways would require inductive charging at 65mph (not feasible) or building overhead pantograph systems (expensive but at least vaguely tractable). Either requires specialized vehicles.

Europe could pull it off due to its density, but the stretches of American highway which would benefit the most from it, would be a huge challenge.

You're right, I should make it easier for users to share the game.

One thing to keep in mind is that Project Xanadu predates the web by a decade or so. Whereas the web settled on simple unidirectional links embedded in linear text documents, Ted Nelson's Xanadu was aiming for bidirectional transclusion and nonlinear documents ("zippered lists").

Reading old papers from Nelson, Engelbart, or Bush is a lot of fun, though it can sometimes take a little work to get into a pre-internet headspace. I don't read very many authors these days who are attempting to rethink fundamental computer interface concepts like that, though there are a few.
How is immune protection measured? It would seem like you can't skip serology measurements - otherwise how would one know if the participants even had an immune response to the variants you were studying?

Sure, but the point here is to not lose the records too, which someone could trivially change if they own the Postgres DB. When I have a shared record of a container and somebody repaints its SN, at least I know I lost it, and I can also easily claim that I did not forge the records too because they signed the record with their wallet.
Say GM and Chrysler weren't bailed out. Then they wouldn't be able to support the trade between other third party car parts manufacturers that rely on them. Those companies would lose economies of scale and/or go out of business too. Then wouldn't Ford be able to make their cars without those third parties and would need bailing out to not go bankrupt also.

In my personal experience theres always a honey moon period with these devs until they start taking on other clients as yourself. Then the technical debt starts to creep in and you end up as a hostage, unable to switch them out and unable to run your business without them without incurring huge downtime that will impact your revenues.

Glad you had success, we did too, that is until we realized sprints were taking longer and longer, and we were fixing the same bugs over and over.

I don't know why this happens, they are top notch, everything is great and then they play mind games. Reading a bit about Indian culture, this type of trickery is actually not frowned upon but rather celebrated as "shrewdness".

So take any success with Indian teams with a grain of salt.
I understand what you mean. Gonna think this more thoroughly. Thanks for the feedback.

That’s how I got my first development gig. Freshly moved to a new city and needing a job, I did the usual ‘apply to everything in the paper and online’ shotgun approach. After a week of that, I suited up and started driving around to various companies with resume in hand. At one office park, I got lost and went to the wrong building. Reading the names of companies on the lobby plaque, one caught my eye that sounded like a tech company of some kind. So I walked upstairs and into their suite, which I found out later was their remote engineering office. They didn’t have a secretary, so I just poked my head into someone’s office and asked about a job. “Go talk to Doug down the hall”, they said. Doug, it turns out was the company’s VP of engineering whose response was “well, we need a software tester - when can you start?”
I know about it from both sides.

This is one of those weird supposedly-balanced posts. The balance is, "on the one hand" CPS persecutes a lot of innocent people. "On the other hand", CPS fails to find determined and intelligent pedophiles working to evade it. You ever think that this isn't sane balance at all? Like maybe CPS is failing to find people doing calculated horrible things because it's approach is this abusive scattershot? Especially, any enforcement agency has a incentive laziness (heck everyone has one). If a worker can effortlessly produce cases against random schmucks, they have less incentive to work hard to find the people systematically evading them.

Stacked reviews is a very natural pattern if you're using a system like Gerrit, where the unit of review is not a whole branch, but individual commits. Since they are commits, the reviews can have any kind of relationship that commits can have. I think it's a great system, including for some other reasons (it encourages amending and rebasing commits during the review process, which results in a very clean git history). After using Gerrit professionally for several years I wonder how I ever lived with GitHub-style pull requests.

Elon Musk’s Friendship with Sergey Brin Ruptured by Alleged Affair
If your second PR is ready before the first PR is merged, then two of the likliest outcomes are that either PR reviews are taking too long, or the second PR is small enough that it could have just been part of the first. Alternatively, the review is taking a long time because the first PR was bad/controversial, in which case the assumptions of the second PR might need to be reevaluated anyway.
When someone says in a startup/recruiting/motivational context that they aim to "change the world", there's an implied "for the better".

That makes the OP's appeal to "change the world [for the better]" highly similar to the "make the world a better place" phrasing highlighted in the linked 'Silicon Valley' spoofs.
Recently there was a contest to optimize the performance of a similar program[0] and a Zoom discussion of the optimizations[1].

The programs are not comparable in the the following ways:

- Case: TFA requires (at least) ASCII lowercasing but the contest problem required no lowercasing.

- Ordering: TFA does not require sorting, but the contest problem required sorting.

- Memory: TFA imposes a requirement phrased as "don't read the whole file into memory" and this sounds like it's a resource-saving constraint, but it's usually a constraint that requires the program to spend additional resources. You could just mmap the file and store pointers into the mapped region. It costs extra to do copies instead of no copies.

- Text: TFA is unclear on what assumptions may be made about the lengths of words. For the contest problem, the Hungarian wikipedia input's longest word is around 80k.

- Safe, Hashing, Stdlib: TFA imposes some restrictions on what constructs may be used that are not imposed in the contest problem.

For the contest version of this problem, it seems like you can tokenize, hash, and count strings at around 1GB/s. Adapting a solution to solve TFA's problem (but not to conform to its Safe/Hashing/Stdlib requirements) would probably not carry too large of a penalty, since it's like 3 instructions to ASCII-lowercase 32 bytes and 1 string copy per unique string should take negligible time compared to the hash table lookups. So there is some room for the optimized solutions to go a little faster, if more optimizations are permitted.

It's clearly not "just a wrapper around SQLite", read through the README and it'll be evident why.
I think redevelopment can happen, and in fact the growth in BEV tech is the trigger. Ebike sales have been staggering since the pandemic era started, and high gas prices have kept the trend going. And while some may switch back in time, the entire calculus of what vehicles are feasible for tripmaking changes with small BEV - an assisted cargo bike can go pretty fast! While the highways are out, they use the available battery resources more efficiently than a car for nearby destinations, which are the majority of trips, so in a competition for tripmaking market share they will come out ahead. That makes them part of an emerging virtuous cycle, where more people see an opportunity to save fuel and maintenance costs, so they get bikes, so there are more bikes on the street, so there's more demand for bike infrastructure.

This pattern has emerged in every city that has a bikeshare or other micromobility scheme: Consumers can dip into the waters and try it out without being "cyclists" and worrying about theft or maintenance. They can put up with poor infrastructure in other respects as a result and use it for the subset of trips where they feel it's appropriate to do so. And the operators(who are in a profitable, growing market) can provide the financial muscle to sway City Hall's policy and make the infrastructure better - because the resulting network growth goes right back into their pockets. And with learning effects, it becomes increasingly easy to deploy at a larger and larger scale. The first few years when these companies emerged and spilled e-scooters all over the streets made for disastrous PR, but their execution has improved greatly since then, with sturdier vehicles, better battery lifetimes, and closer working relationships with cities to address safety.

Sort of. There were cheap computers like the Commodore 64. But, by the time you put together a floppy disk only PC clone in mid-80s, you were probably still looking at a few thousand dollars so maybe $6K in today's money. Not astronomical but still a pretty big purchase. Hard drives were just coming into the reach of consumers then but that would have added to the price.
