I definitely agree it's an end state for those like you who have reached it.

The original commenter did not mention being banned from any academic discussions -- his freedom was not infringed. It is the other people's freedom to ignore him that he wanted to infringe. He wanted to force other people to engage with him. That's the opposite of freedom.

And now for a case of real infringement of academic freedom:

Isn't a lot of the "arc is so bad judgement" quite per-mature.

I mean it's all based on the state of the driver used with pre-release
GPUs and often the worst GPU of the lineup.

You could say this are beta drivers, but that is somehow not something people mention.

I mean sure there was a lunch of arc mobile GPUs but only in some specific region which was neither the US nor EU, it's as far as I can tell bit like a closed beta release from the dynamics involved.

So shouldn't we wait until the "proper" market launch of the dedicated gpus in the US before taking it apart as a catastrophe?

And sure older Games might not run as well, may some will never (which doesn't mean they don't run good enough to be played nicleye). Maybe except on steam because of the emulation of older direct X versions being base on Vulcan, that will be interesting.

Why would you require annual inspection of tires instead of just adding an environmental tax to new tires?

If you're worried about people dodging the tax by over-wearing the tires (I doubt this would be a significant thing), you could arrange for taxes that lead to refunding less money when people recycle tires that have less tread left.
>Most agencies won’t tell you that your product won’t sell because no one likes to hear that.

Also, I think there is incentive for agencies to say a product will sell (other than people don't like hearing it). It's a lot easier to spend $100K if I'm gonna get back $500K in sales than if I'm just gonna get back $50K.

> As far as I know, Phabricator does not let you view or comment on individual commits in a code review (which I use at work). Let me know if you know differently and I might switch to doing that.

Isn't there a "commits" tab when viewing a revision? Also Phabricator is no longer maintained for the last year.

> Can you advise me on running CI on each commit in the PR in GitHub? As far as I can see, it's technically possible in that you can run arbitrary code as part of your CI, but there's no convenient way to do it. (In particular, I would want to be able to view the CI runs for each individual commit, i.e. render the little checkmark/x next to each commit in GitHub, which seems like it would require a lot of integration via the API.)

You'd use the https://docs.github.com/en/rest/commits/statuses API to publish the little checkmark. More info: https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-....

However, before you do that, consider: this one I think is a slight impedance mismatch between how users conceptually think about using GH and how GH actions are designed to be triggered. The most simple thing to do if you want every commit checked and tested is just make a GH action that runs your checks on push, which gets run on every commit and updates the status. If you already have a push action, just remove the "main" branch restriction. The PR action is designed to do PR-scoped things. You can, if you really only want to check commits once they are opened for PR, iterate over the commit list and manually trigger workflows to test and check each one (you can even just manually trigger your existing push action if you add the manual trigger option and specify the commit sha yourself and it will run, I think). But, is the list of commits that get pushed to the repo and the list of commits you want to eventually test for inclusion into main really that different, at the end of the day?

>In an unregulated capitalist system, supply increases to meet demand.

But demand comes from capital, not from the housing needs of individuals. In one tier of the economy, a house is a home; for another, that same house is an investment. The poor cannot afford to outbid the wealthy for housing, and the gap is widening at an accelerating pace. That's why building more houses won't solve the problem in the long term, because the rich are getting wealthier much faster than the poor (or middle class), and any increase in supply will go to serve their demand for rental property.

But why do we need leap anything at all? Leap years are useful because the calendar drifts quickly (well, over centuries) enough for seasons shifting to become noticeable. Leap seconds correct for a problem that’s much slower, with already existing much larger errors (time zones anyone?). It’s a science project with no useful application in the real world.
Sad to see this earnest post down-voted. Maybe you had to be more precise about the poor thought out nature of what you saw. In my experience you are right, in as much as developers whose notions of design only go so far as creating many small classes do not think enough about design...
Sorry for being pedantic. Response wasn't directed at you specifically, but at the wider audience, some of whom might not understand the distinction. But my guess is that John Carmack does get the distinction and was intentional with his wording, although obviously I could be wrong :)

But even in advertising, there's a huge variance of ethics. I don't love targeted advertising based on my search history. I'm perfectly fine with my favorite history podcast being able to continue because of casper ads. In that case, casper isn't tracking me specifically... just assuming that history podcast listeners might be good mattress customers.
Invalid state means invalid state. Suppose (going with my bounded stack example from another reply to you) you initialize the stack with:

a_bounded_stack = new BoundedStack(100);

There are various actions applied, correctly, through the interface (push, pop, and peek). Somewhere, you decide to manually alter the size of the stack but not through its interface (resize)

a_bounded_stack.limit = 50;

But you forget (someone came by with cookies) to actually shrink the backing array and also to change "top". So now you end up with this state:

a_bounded_stack
limit = 50
array.size = 100
top = 60

Oops, top is not allowed to be larger than limit, and array.size is supposed to be equal to limit. That is an invalid state, people can still use the public interface (push, pop, peek), but who knows what they'll get back.
This is probably just a semantic difference. In the marketing/advertising industry, “advertising” tends to refer to a subset of channels (banner ads, social media ads, video ads, TV ads, billboards, etc.) while “marketing” refers to the general problem of getting the word out.

I think you’re using “advertising” the way a marketing person would use “marketing”.

I don't think this changes anyone's point, just clarifying what might feel pedantic where there is a term of art associated.

I know you said you’re looking for a warmer climate, but have you been to Leipzig? It’s a great little city with a ton of history. It has some of the feel of Berlin but is infinitely cheaper and less busy. Just something to consider.

Otherwise I would look into the Balkan coast. Croatia, Montenegro, etc. You won’t be working locally but the quality of life will be great on a remote salary and the culture shock should be fairly minimal for a German.
Right, sunlight contains UVA and UVB and the UVB is what creates vitamin D. An indoor light that outputs UVB could be dangerous, the equivalent of laying outside in the sun all day, every day. It would also quickly degrade many materials in your house. UVA would trigger photosensitive eyeglasses turning them dark. Sperti makes a vitamin D lamp and it has a five minute timer and comes with UV blocking goggles (not sure what intensity it is relative to the sun) which suggests significant risk. So you may not want any forms of UV inside your home. Many windows these days have glass formulated to block UV to protect your rugs, drapes, and furniture. I'd question whether anyone would want the IR spectrum from an indoor sun-light also. I think what most people would want would be a high CRI light that has enough blue to trigger the brains time keeper. A bright indoor daylight-like light will make everything look very stark though (black shadows, objects brightly lit so you see all the fingerprints, scratches, and dust everywhere.) Your eyesight may degrade faster if you are constantly in brightly lit areas also. You may find that your autistic friends stop visiting you (or ask you to turn the lights off.) A lot of people who built A-frame houses with floor to ceiling windows at the end of the house found out that all that light entering 1) makes the house really hot 2) interferes with reading, watching TV, and using computers 3) fades their furniture and rugs. Even without the UV, bright indoor light has some issues, though it certainly can brighten dark spaces.
> I like to imagine the possibilities if we stopped spending money on military and instead spent it on research and science. [edit - perhaps this is misunderstood as me suggesting money spent on the telecope is wasted; quite the contrary, I'm arguing that we should be spending MORE on efforts like this!]

Stopped? Then you get invaded and there is no more space program? We live in a world and when you are a country capable if launching JWST you are also a country that needs defending from other humans/countries. I do agree with making defense less of a jobs program making middlemen criminally rich.

You know, even if we could stop defense spending as a whole I would say solving homelessness, health care and food security is a higher priority. But still, space programs should get their funding just not more than or taking away from helping your own suffering citizens.

I think the federal government competing in the private sector in certain industries makes sense. In this case charging for space based comms and launches and using that money to fund space research makes sense. That aside the money should come from research grants and funding academia is receiving already if they are the ones using it. Of course, instead of reducing defense spending, spending defense in space is better, it was an arms race with russia after all that landed people on the moon.
I’m sure lots of people have considered it. But lots of people can be wrong, myself included.

We do it because it’s largely automated by IDEs now. I strongly suspect that if IDEs didn’t make it so easy to do, we basically wouldn’t bother with it. Python does OOP just fine without real visibility control.
That is a different problem. You usually work with timestamps and then convert the time to local time only when displaying it or doing calculations that depend on the particular timezone. So it's less of a problem, since at lower levels you don't have the concept of timezone (you may never have it, for example on embedded devices).

But if UTC shifts, it's another story. You assume the UTC (or UNIX) time to be a monotonic counter, and usually it's used this way, for example you compare two timestamps to know what definitively happened before another thing. Surely you don't take into account leap seconds... this is the problem.

Leap seconds wouldn't be that much of an issue if the time is only increased, you have one more second, it's the higher level implementation that has the concept of time to (maybe) deal with it. But they become an issue if they can take behind the UTC clock since it can generate all sort of strange bugs.

It's even a worse solution to make the duration of a second in a day longer or shorted, because you preserve the counter value, but you no longer can rely on the fact of 1 seconds being 1000ms long!

By the way the concept of leap second is nonsense to me. What is the purpose? If the purpose is to keep in sync the time with the rotation of the earth, nobody will ever notice an error of a couple of seconds, or even minutes. It makes more sense to take the current definition of a second, and then wait till the error is noticeable to an human being (let's say an error of 15 minutes, that would take centuries and we will probably far gone from the planet) and adjust it by shifting all the timezone for that amount of time.
You almost had it. Obama during his two terms pushed other NATO members to increase their spending to the 2% GDP target. They agreed and set long term goals to increase their spending and started to do so.

Trump stupidly described other NATO members as "owing" the US. Not only had several countries met their spending goals by the end of the Obama admin most of the alliance was on track with increased spending including targeted equipment upgrade spending. Trump's complaints were that other NATO members hadn't met their goals ahead of the agreed upon schedule. This was going to be used for a pretext for withdrawing the US from NATO.

NATO funding is not a simple issue. There's direct and indirect expenditures that "fund" NATO. It's not some protection racket. Funding can be direct funding I.e. military units/equipment maintained as a rapid response force or indirect funding I.e. spending to upgrade or buy equipment to keep up with the overall norms of the alliance.

You'd have to clean everything within 1000 yards of the highway. It is kicked airborne and is blown all over the place. In California the effect is pronounced where it doesn't rain. You can wipe road dust off your window exteriors with a cloth and it will be black in one pass. Stucco buildings look dirty and brown before long due to the road dust accumulating in their rough surface.

This is a great point. Often I find situations when working with the subject matter experts where the code unveils edge cases in the business reasoning that the SMEs haven't considered. In many of those situations, the issue can be pedantic and the code can point to a catchall. Even so, it is funny how common these kinds of knowledge gaps appear when you are tasked with transforming assumptions into a functional working entity.

I have an RV I like to use often, and have been watching this with quite a bit of interest. Additionally, some of the phone companies are starting to have 'real' 5g home connections that compete with cable.

While I live in a suburb now, my last home I moved out of in 2016 was 2M/256k wireless internet, that was $60/month, and only 5-6 miles south of downtown Madison, WI.

Between Starlink and the 5G home connections t-mobile and verizon have been selling lately, its going to be interesting that Rural locations will suddenly see good internet choices. I may be able to finally buy a place in the middle of no-where. Working from home has made that not possible previously.

I know you're not necessarily advocating for this strategy and just sharing that they're much more advanced / tactical weapons now, but this strikes me as too cavalier.

It might be true that we can create nukes which have minimal fallout and minimum impact area (I have no idea to be honest), but this ignores the broader consequences such a strategy would bring. Namely that you remove the taboo of using nukes and start to normalize it. It then becomes more justifiable for other countries to also use nuclear weapons, at which point escalation becomes ever more likely. Imagine the consequences if Russia were to use nuclear weapons in its war in Ukraine. Frankly we need as large a stigma as humanly possible on the use of these weapons.

> If you’re still unconvinced—if you’re reflexively rejecting this notion outright, you have to ask yourself: Why? Why wouldn’t you want to acknowledge your interlocutor’s humanity, your mutual quest for safety, security, and satisfaction? How would compassion for your opponent affect your pursuits? I worry about the answers to those questions, and so should you.

I think because I want to recognize my humanity first, before I recognize the other person's humanity.

I think this is the fundamental missing piece in the argument: to recognize our own humanity. I think we take it for a given and yet how many of us are afraid to show our humanity to others? How we feel? What we're thinking? Especially in conflict. We don't say how we're shouting at them because we love them and are afraid they will leave us. We don't say we are against abortions because we tried all our lives to have a child biologically and were unable to and thus feel jealous of those who can but choose to abort—or conversely, for allowing women to choose because we grew up in a family where our parents resented us for being born and ruining their lives.

I really like the idea of humanizing the other person, I think what is more helpful to me feeling well and to resolving conflict in my life is to make sure that I first humanize myself and show that humanity to others.

Up thread, I mentioned that I helped with the development of a C language interpreter for BASIC-2.

You're exactly right about how tight memory was.

One of guys at TOM Software, "Russ," used to keep a 1-dimensional array variable in his code. I remember one day we did something to the interpreter that wound up giving BASIC-2 programs a few additional bytes of program storage space. Russ just about had an orgasm as he updated his "free space" variable. When I asked him about it, he indicated that "When I get enough free memory, I can implement another feature!"

Way to take one for the team, Russ, wherever the hell you are these days!
