When I was co-founding, at points of time as only tech person I usually went to the SE network. In that case softwareengineering.stackexchange.com. It's quite good but of course the question format needs to be kept otherwise nobody will give a full answer... (Also I think the process of writing it up alone sometimes solves some uncertainties) In the comments sometimes actual discussions come up
I used extensively Midnight commander on a SunOS workstation for quickly browsing source codebases that spanned thousands of files without launching XEmacs. But for me the killer feature was having special popup menus (configurable per directory!) that could launch scripts on top of the selected files was pretty powerful. For example in the pre-subversion days I could check-in a bunch of files that were changed into the repository using a proprietary tool from my employer with just a couple of keystrokes.
I'm curious how this also works as a function of sprawl & industry decline: paperboys can deliver in parallel but the longer the distance between subscribers the more the higher car speeds will dominate.
TikTok scares me in the same way that DALL-E scare me.

DALL-E is very, very good, but still obviously flawed. But behind the flaws I know it will get better. Like the original iPhone vs. the crazy powerful phones we have now. Or the original 3d games like Doom or Duke Nukem 3d compared to modern PC graphics. Or the insane quality of modern movie CGI. In 5 years or 10 years this AI tech to generate incredible images will advance at a similar pace. (Shout out to GPT-3 in this space as well)

I don't think we fully understand how TikTok is connecting to our subconscious but it is doing it in a way that most people agree is unsettling. And we are at the very beginning of this journey. There is no way to predict if this is going to be good or bad without us doing it. And every company now realizes that it is both easy to achieve and tremendously effective.
I think most are betting on AR.

Humane (some ex-iPhone people) is working on some sort of projection like UI, but they have put out very little detail about it.

Apple is working on some sort of AR related heads up display. If the hardware can work well for that, the benefits there seem obvious if you can get the UX right. Looking at the world and pulling up information in your visual field would be really useful. Could still pull up flat 'screens' in your visual field for normal text/web interaction.

It's hard to do well given latency issues (need very low) and no real ability to draw black (AR uses ambient light), but if it can be pulled off I'd expect that as the next platform/device shift.
This 1000x. It's such a slippery slope that you'd think by now most people would be aware but no, there's always the "who needs an ORM" guy :)
Not sure if that's what you mean but that could be understood as "the price/earnings ratio has gone down to just 27 because the growth expected currently is lower than what it used to be".

In 2010-2019 it was rarely above 20 and it even went below 10. The decade average was 15.
the golden rule for having leverage in negotiations is the ability to walk away and not close the deal.

You can apply the pressure by thanking them for their time but their number is too high compared to the competition and I guarantee the car salesman is going to be calling you back with a better deal.

Any sale is better than no sale, they make money selling cars by volume and will take less profit to close a sale, you don’t know their profit margin so let them eat into it to close the sale at a later time by walking away! If you don’t have time, they will play on these fears to make you think you must sign the paper that very second or you are missing that deal of a lifetime.

Also, you can flex carvana prices and be like, I can buy a car through carvana on my phone cheaper than you guys, then simply tell them you are walking away cause of that and see them magically go talk to their manager and get a better price for you right then or later on the phone, I pulled this off a couple times before. You can figure out their profit margin and markup and see if you can get them to lower the price and still make money. Win-win
I very much do understand the important of security in product development. I’ve been part of numerous security audits amongst other things I shan’t get too deep into here as it’s not the point.

The point is that software is developed by humans. Humans make mistakes. Find me a single Fortune 500 company that hasn’t had an embarrassing security issue due to human error. As I said, shit happens.

The response time for fixing this and everything else entailed in a big bounty process looks good to me. I’m sure whatever team worked on this feature will learn from it.

I created a little DIY web-based dashboard that displays on my TV. I have a tiny bit of Python that runs on startup that turns on my TV via an API, then launches Chromium in kiosk mode and loads my webpage written in Elm.

At some point, it dawned on me that my problem wasn't that I didn't understand monads, it's that the idea's so simple I couldn't convince myself I understood it, and that what I actually didn't understand was why anyone gave a shit about them.

Like if a bunch of smart people keep going on and on about something called a "floobiz", and every time they try to explain it to you, it just looks like a fucking cup. The problem isn't that you don't understand what a cup (floobiz) is, it's that you don't get why they keep going on about them like they're something special.
Having been programming a while, when confronted with "Well, it got the answer 4.7, and we figured out 2, and we can't figure what the other 2.7 are", I wouldn't leap to "Wow, the AI has found a whole new physics". I'd go with "bug", until I can very concretely describe otherwise.

> who is taking the other side of your order?

Literally anyone. Literally any other market participant with interest in longterm ownership.

> Your entire argument is "I don't know what they do, and they make money in finance, so they must be doing it illegally." The burden is on you to provide evidence to back up your claim.

That's not my argument. Snakes bite. Highly profitable, speculative, and complicated US financial firms have consistently grown to threaten the stability of US financial systems before collapsing. Precedent matters. When an assertion violates a precedent, it's what must be proven. Your assertion has the burden of proof, and it's an incredibly high one at that.

> ...the fact that you compare RenTech's Medallion Fund to HFT again demonstrates your complete ignorance on the topic

Medallion is one of the most well regarded and profitable hedge funds in modern American history. It's a grandfather to modern HFTs. Even its sterling record is highly suspect.

I sincerely hope the American public doubles short term capital gains taxes and regulates financial markets back to the stone age. Smart people need to spend their time on engineering, medicine, and research. The amount of human capital wasted on silly little financial machinations these days sickens me. I go back and read about financiers jumping from building back in the 20s and I understand completely. Our best and brightest, so confident of what they had to gain, traded their potential in pursuit of Alchemy only to be left with nothing. And who can blame them? Newton fell for the same.
Of my first 5 programming languages—in rough order, BASIC in various dialects, DOS command line, Logo, Pascal, and C—I still occasionally use C and the DOS command line (though only interactively in the latter case, and only when something is preventing me from using powershell for the purpose.)

Mostly Python, JS, and C# these days.
Arguably, the first language I was marginally competent with was PHP (I think 3? Maybe 4?). I don't _really_ write it anymore, but occasionally find myself supporting it for some clients, which might involve changing 3-5 lines every few weeks. Or not. I've easily gone years without seeing a line of PHP code.

The first languages I ever touched would've been flavors of BASIC and FORTH. Definitely haven't touched those since my teens, and probably not since the turn of the millennium.

I studied for and took a different (albeit programming-adjacent) career, picked up Ruby on the side because it was a _delight_ to play with, and then came back to programming with that front and center.
My bet: pens that both work with traditional ink and also by creating a digital copy at the same time of your notes for a seamless sync everywhere.

Paper's never going to be replaced but I have definitely wished countless times for something that could copy a paper for storage instantaneously.

> Every PhD student at every university I've ever seen has paid vacation, paid sick days, etc. Conference travel all around the world, at levels that EU universities can't match. As a PhD student my program basically paid for vacations in: China, 4 different EU countries, 5-6 different US states + Hawaii + Alaska, Japan, etc. There are plenty of bonuses and perks.

Conference travel and short-term research visits have nothing to do with vacation. They are just business travel, where you rarely have enough time to do anything interesting.

I did my PhD in Finland and finished about a decade ago. During that time, I made business trips to Australia, Chile, Colombia, Denmark (x2), Germany, Italy (x2), Turkey, and the US. I also had the time and money to travel on my own, and I visited Iceland (x2), Kenya, Morocco, Nepal, Peru, and Tanzania, in addition to 6 or 7 trips to various European countries. Some of my friends didn't travel as much, but they bought a house, because doing a PhD was a middle-class job.

Also, this branch of the discussion was not about the EU but about "much of Europe". That usually refers to the West/North European countries that remained free after WW2. Large parts of Europe suffered under communism and other totalitarian governments during the Cold War, and their standard of living is still lower because of that.

I don't understand, are you saying async is hard or that a poor implementation is a source of issues (e.g. async function that calls sync primitives)? Because I totally agree with the latter but I have no idea what "hard" means. Very little changes in terms of syntax (assuming support for async/await ops) or reasoning.

should be okay is definitely not enough for me to ship things to production.

And while I do have automated tests, they might sometimes stub system calls as I'm mostly testing my code to keep things stable and fast.

I'd rather explicitly declare my dependencies and use the same container for development, test and production to feel much more confident that it includes actually everything that's needed.
Then you should be able to hire one to do the others job, which I assure you won’t work out well. If you have something notable and specific to add, please feel free to do so, otherwise you’re opinions are not backed by actually reasoning, and as a result, impossible to respond to with reasoning.

They have created yet another bespoke language for their one tool...

Even worse, they took CUE and created their own dialect while retaining the file extension. Their files are no longer valid CUE (if you use their "std" library and maybe some other things). Then they go on to say you're better off not knowing CUE, which I suspect will bite them in the arse.

I'd recommend thinking long and hard before considering this tool. Hope they pivot and I can re-evaluate them then, but they are off to a bad start.
AR isn’t only gaming. It’s to become the interface for a person’s world, instead of just the internet. It’s an extremely powerful position to influence what someone sees everywhere they look.

This is why companies are trying to break into it. Hardware is the main gap at the moment but Apple is the best hardware manufacturer in the world. The M chips are a step in this direction (high performance, low power).
This is the correct take. True innovation (the uncanny valley stage) is left to pioneers. Apple will spot trends with potential and claim to be the innovator. It would show courage and humility to acknowledge this, but I understand it doesn't fit their PR narrative.
So no questions about the quality or provenance of the data? Really?
I was disheartened when I read about all these successful people and their lofty advice. I was more disheartened when I realized their advice is just the random stuff they happened to do that on their path to success, and that equivalent advice of the myriad failures that complement them would never be heard (and that both were of approximately equal value). Despite how in the overmind the notion of "correlation is not causation," this snake oil is surprisingly only beginning to go out of fashion.
I think a rational discussion of an architecture issue shouldn't discuss specific programming languages/frameworks or options of exotic tech. It should be at a much higher level because those things mostly aren't relevant. If the discussion leads to "XYZ message thing behaves this way, how do you ..." that is more of an implementation/programming discussion and not architecture.

I used RTEMS on Movidius Myriad vision CPU (running on LEON- a SPARC clone).

I remember the RTEMS event concept was not very good- the events are globally shared. You are better off using semaphores.

>I have realized that for a majority of the embedded software using an RTOS is an overkill

I agree with this. Instead of an OS, we like to use a small framework that provides a CLI, database and UART communications (YMODEM protocol). It's a single stack system that provides a simple work-queue for scheduling callbacks, and for interrupt code to schedule non-interrupt code. It works for almost everything as long as you are comfortable programming in an event-driven style.

>"A better solution would be to teach how to get out of addiction"

It's hard to say no to the idea of more education, but I believe this is a non impactful solution. We've been teaching about the dangers of alcohol, tobacco, illicit drugs, unhealthy food, and much more for decades - if not generations. It only goes so far. I don't believe most addicts are addicted because of ignorance or a lack of rationality. I believe the primary driver is biological rather than a lack of knowing better.

Similar to how the vast majority of people can enjoy alcohol responsibly, most people can and do enjoy social media responsibly.

I like to enjoy a nice beer after a hard day's work. Sometimes I also like to enjoy TikTok for a bit to get my mind off of work and other challenges. Neither company should feel bad about providing a great product that people enjoy just because some folks have a problem enjoying it in moderation.
Large companies tend to prefer support for any major dependencies, so, companies built around an open-source project typically sell support. Customers might also hire them for consulting, custom implementations using the project, etc.

However, it's not a high-value business so it is somewhat surprising VCs are funding this.

I often think that our constant obsession with GROWTH hurts other, potentially worthy goals.

If a company doesn't show growth, it is quickly labelled as "in trouble" or "dead". Why? Why can't we have an Apple that is the size it is now, but concentrates on making better products?

If you look at the last 10 years of Apple products, it is clear that many decisions were made to favor growth (e.g. revenue) over customer satisfaction. Their products are often made worse and delight us less, because someone decided that growth is more important.

I run my own business and growth is not my #1 goal. But I have the comfort of being able to make that decision, as it is my (self-funded) business.

I wish we could ease up on the pressure to grow.

EDIT: the replies are completely missing my point. No need to explain how the stock market works. Just please consider, for a moment, a world where companies don't have to prioritize growth over everything else.

Of course it is legal. If you have some know-how that you want to protect, that's what patents are for. If you have some unique recognizable design that you want to protect, that's design patents and trademarks.

But the two-panel file management paradigm predates Total Commander by many years - TC itself copied NC - so I doubt they would be able to patent anything worthwhile even if they tried.
