I never got a distinctly good answer on that, but the rubric was that the number one pick was not willing to relocate to corporate HQ and was content performing quite well in their lane (a rare case of astute self-awareness, but he was ultimately ousted by the new CRO because he only saw him as competition), and the number two choice was already in range and as I said, previously contained...maybe they thought he'd "grow into the role"?
America is a free country. If we are talking about addictions, parents should use built-in or third party software to control their child's screen time, or their online activity - or block specific social media platform altogether. If this kind of addiction is a serious issue, there should be, both public and private, awareness campaigns. Censoring things always backfire, I never saw a case that it worked as intended.
I upgraded from Ivy Bridge to a Ryzen 2700, the difference is extreme. One of those could barely encode a 1080p stream in real time the other one can encode at least eight and probably 16 but I never needed that many.
Agreed completely. And perhaps it helps to think of the "invested value" of the company as a form of financial and human capital invested so far - when you hire those two people you have invested maybe a year of work. A year later you have invested two years, and so have they!

If you were all panning for gold (not terrible analogy for searching product market fit) then while you share the gold, you have doubled your chances
They still use Win32 and COM shell utilities underneath, so there is plenty of stuff a NIH framework will have to implement, while those Excel versions share the same core features.

It made me want to learn python.

I've been thinking about programming language development, and some weird things from the typing front.

This could be easily used to achieve unions.

But another thing that I was thinking about was the return from unsafe land.

You have some class or object that you want to do some quasi-illegal fucky bullshit to - send it off and do what you will.

But what comes back might not have the guarantee that it's still the 'shape' of the thing that you sent away.

This could be used to validate that what comes back is sane.
That's one of the ways anti-trust works, yes. If you're just a business doing a thing, no problem. If you get so good you become a de facto monopoly in some area, and start to exploit that dominant position in whatever way, it's time for regulations or a forceful breaking up to constraint you.
Good question. Container orchestration seems unneeded when you want to run max 1 of everything, but maybe there is more to it.
Why would I pay 539 eurodollars for a pi when I could buy a reasonable consumer-grade PC for that money? or just go with an actual enterprise server, although used?
> I didn't expect a 10% slowdown for Redis

Pretty sure you misunderstood. If you forced redis use an SSD (persistent storage) for everything redis normally uses DRAM for and only observed a 10% slowdown, it would be a goddamn miracle!

> how much of the total workload time do they take up

If you're talking about a read-heavy workload, the only good thing about Optane is that it's a little cheaper than DRAM. But those workloads are easy to scale (just buy 2x caches to get 2x throughout) so they're often not worth discussing.

Also reposting my comment from above:

> PCIe Optane was a thing and it achieved 10us latency whereas today's fastest SSDs get 40us. IIRC the DIMM version of Optane was <1us, literally an order of magnitude faster!
Thanks for putting it in layman's terms
You're the best kind of correct, which is technically correct. But what I said is that "multiplied by every retirement account we're talking real money". Which is no-qualifiers correct.

That ETF that you should have your roll in? It's buying and selling securities all the time, and encountering friction along the way. And whether people have ETFs or individual equities in their (hopefully tax-advantaged) retirement account, across everyone with a retirement account it adds up.

I know that people often have a low-key axe to grind about advanced market actors being "bad", and I know that politicians go to the well with this narrative all the time, but it's misleading at best and usually just demonstrably wrong. And with nothing but respect, I tend to bow out of conversations where people push the issue past a comment or two.

There are exceptions: Citadel paying 2x for PFOF on Robinhood vs. Schwab to get optionality on internalizing against dumb flow? Yeah, that's pretty iffy. But in general advanced actors are slicing strips of meat off of each other to the benefit of 401ks everywhere.
If you have concerns about UX I'd have thought you should be commenting at the design level rather than leaving it until things have got to the stage where they've been developed to the point where there's HTML to talk about.
CPUs operate due to quantified phenomenon. They're well understood. They've been refined over nearly 100 years.

HFTs came into their own over the past decade or so -- during a time of falling interest rates, unprecedented growth, and notable lack of regulation in financial markets.

One of these things is not like the other. I'd be entirely unsurprised to see most HFTs turn out like Lehman Brothers, Enron, or AIG. They all lasted more than a decade or so. But their gains were fraudulent and they failed spectacularly.
Now the question is: Can machine learning process texts and generate word lists with definitions for the other languages?

That would be one way to approach the lack of available data sets for languages that are not English.
You wouldn't, it's just a "cool" little project. The only advantage this has over a normal server that I can think of is size and power consumption.
If being faced with a situation where a Swedish word has to be written without the Swedish letters, such as when writing names in broken forms online (I have on of those letters in my name, and forms that tells me to "only use alphabetic letters" are annoyingly common), then either people simply use the letter without the dots, or they use formal transliteration.

The formal way (which is what is done for the international part of a passport for example) is å to aa, ä to ae, ö to oe.

Is the pi even powerful enough to run the workloads that require 5 drives? On my NAS the only thing that manages to saturate the drives is a direct copy. In all else the CPU and RAM is the bottleneck.

If it is for redundant storage, zfs will be quite limited by the 8 gib ram.
Global room-temperature superconductivity in graphite
That’s an interesting point.

Up until now I feel we didn’t reach anything near that because in the generic case autoplay can be disabled (might be by default ?) in browsers, as it’s an overall obnoxious feature.

The case left are specific apps, and for Netflix or other traditional video streaming platforms, proving it’s against the user’s interests would be super tough (even proving it has addictive effects wouldn’t be enough, as the user could be willingly requesting these addictive effects)

Social media could be a separate case, as culturally we put it in a different bucket, but then limitations would probably only apply to specific demographics (basically kids younger than 13 or 18 ?) and clear those older on liberty of choice grounds.

I think the viewer would need to be directly losing money or being in physical harm to see any kind of regulation on these features.
-- only managed to make it half way through the article so apologies if this was covered later - re: the intern game - if the game is confidence in the probability of your answers - couldn't you deliberately get the answers wrong and just bet low confidence in your answers? - this seems like a really stupid comment on my part so I presume I'm missing something important --
Don't worry, the apps know where the files are when you need them. And you only need them when you are using the app, after all you will own nothing and you will be... wait now that I think about it, you do have the files somewhere on your hard drive, right? so they're technically actually yours, right? my mistake, yeah so nothing to worry here.

And there are some rare exceptions of those apps that uploads your stuff to the cloud for security and for easy backups, such a great technology because if you ever lose your computer you can just buy another one and the 'files' will be magically there (as long as you keep paying the app subscription)! Hopefully the author also implemented the app in a way that can be used offline.

Btw you will need the newest version of the computer because your apps updated so that's also great because new features are good! Your files are basically your creation, you can't just leave them behind.
The article should not have delved into this as its a can of worms - stick with the industry, programming and math.

Its funny that the article uses a “chess champion” and a “concert pianist” as examples to to argue that you don’t question their occupations when it comes to being a benefit to mankind or not. I mean, the huge fucking salaries, where does the money come from? from fucking trees?

Not buying one of two equally bad choices is the best choice. My strategy for buying when something is really needed (or just really wanted): Do not choose from the similar options. If there's almost equal items at almost the same price, those are usually low-end quality. At the higher end things are usually more distinguishable, and usually more satisfying, too.
About the revolutionary aspect of it: primary memory instead of files. Suppose we overcome the problems mentioned in the article, then it still doesn't do anything for current software for normal tasks. E.g., how do you back up primary memory? The only way would be for the application that owns the memory to do it. How do you share files between two processes? By adding memory sharing into your application. So, many of the tasks that are normally taken care of by the OS would need to move into your application. That's not feasible. So it needs a rather different OS and run-time environment, which don't exist, plus a huge rewrite of your apps, along the services it needs, before it can be even considered.

But not only that: it doesn't solve a problem big enough to make it commercially viable. It might be nice for something like Amazon's Redshift, but not for our mundane web servers and accounting programs, nor for the apps on our laptops and telephones. It's a solution in search for a problem.
Reading this I can't help feeling that Python puts the "simplicity" in all the places that don't matter. Simplicity is the reason given for not having useful language features like pattern matches as expressions, or lambdas with multiple expressions, but I've never seen these features[1] cause problems in other languages. And then we have this... Surely semantic simplicity is the simplicity that actually matters, but the way the simplicity argument is used in Python is often to enforce arbitrary syntactic and semantic complexity.

[1] It's almost ridiculous to call these features as they're just a consequence of the underlying language model. E.g. if you have expression blocks you have lambdas with multiple expressions with no extra work.

Finer grained control over CSS transforms with individual transform properties
This is the underlying problem: it's the software developers' philosophy and practice that are the limitation, not a technical thing. Doesn't matter if it's program memory or disk or an API or ABI, it's all about what version of X works with what version of Y. If we're explicit about it, we can automatically use the right version of X with the right version of Y. But we can't if the developers decide not to adopt this paradigm. Which is where we are today. :(

I was told (in a CPU architecture lecture) this is a problem in branch prediction too. With two very similar branches, the time taken to decide starts to outweigh the benefits so something has to step in and say "they're obviously basically the same, just choose the first one" (or some other heuristic maybe to about bias, I don't recall).
If the only people who trade AAPL plan on holding it for 10 years then by the time they want to sell it there will be no one to buy it from them, since the probability that someone else will want to make their once-every-10-years trade at the exact same time is zero. In order for long term investors to function they need liquidity to enter and exit positions.
I looked at building information model (BIM) standards a while ago. There are apparently some EU rules that new buildings should have a BIM. This sounds great until you realize what that means is that some cad file needs to get converted into that format and that that file is typically created and never updated before anyone moves into the building. A fun little exercise is trying to get your hands on such a file for any given company building. It exists, somewhere (because it has to). But finding out where is going to be interesting. Typically nobody in companies knows anything about any of this. And when you finally find a BIM file, chances are it isn't very useful. I've seen some samples. It's just a lot of vector data without context, semantics, etc. They are basically technical drawings and not intended to look pretty or nice.

Extracting usable, attractive 3D (or 2D) models from that is a non trivial exercise and I know of a few companies that do this. It's a lot of work, typically and only half automated.

GIS data can be 3D by the way. E.g. geojson uses an array for coordinates and the third position is reserved for altitude. It's just that a lot of GIS data sets don't include altitude information.

One interesting aspect of GIS data is that coordinates are not exact. They can be off by meters and misaligned with other data sets. I've had lots of fun trying to align floor plans with maps and image satellite imagery from different sources. They don't agree with each other where things like building coordinates are. Switching between Apple, Google, and Openstreetmap you may get a slightly different map. It's very common for roads to not be exactly aligned with the satellite imagery. If you think about it, there are all sorts of things that can introduce errors. GPS is not perfect, you get perspective problems with aerial photography. And tectonic plates actually move around. Not very fast, usually. But it adds up over the years. In many places it's centimeters per year. Everything combined, your average map is accurate to about a few meters at best.
I think the key breakthrough is not the concept of nothing but to have a number like any other to represent it.

Hey, thanks for replying!

It's a web application for a fintech company. We aren't necessarily users of the application either, so we use an internal test environment where we pretend to be users. We do this because we believe that the wider team will use the product in different ways and catch things that the ones involved with the development may have not considered/missed.

The way in which we do this seems far away from optimal e.g. Context switching between different tools to raise found issues which will then be manually replicated as tasks in the hosts Jira board.

I have to admit I still don't get it. When I try to log the signal using my own signal logger (which I guess is somewhat like that "virtual oscilloscope"), the synthesis tool rejects the design and tells me that I cannot use that signal as an input because the FPGA doesn't have a path from there into the logic blocks. What does LiteX do differently to observe a signal that my own gateware cannot access?

I did something like this at a French restaurant (in the UK) and received dire warnings about the andouillette being quite different to what I might expect.

Apparently they get sent back more often than they're eaten. I thought it was delicious (certainly not good if you don't like tripe!) and demolished it.

Python has plenty of complexity. It tends to stick it in places where new programmers don't run into it. Python is one of the few languages I know that lets you just... poke at the internal machinery like this.
It's a weak argument: Can you actually compensate someone for 20 years of lost time? And do we (plenty of states don't depending on circumstances). If there is a problem with whether people found guilty are actually guilty, that's a problem irrespective of the punishment...

> Maybe some of those variations are due to running the same Excel on different versions of Windows, and it conforming to what it thinks native looks like on each. It's hard to tell.

This isn’t quite fair — as far as I can see, most of the dialogs use precisely the same GUI framework, running on different OS versions. It seems reasonable to expect the GUI style to have changed between one version and the next.

Of course, nothing is quite so simple: the exceptions to this are the very latest versions of Excel, which use some sort of weird hybrid UWP-esque dialog thingy. Is this ‘native’? It depends on how you use the word, but it definitely seems quite different to Win32 or WinForms-style dialogs.

But even so, I’d still argue that it’s wrong to call the word ‘native’ meaningless on Windows. There definitely exist some GUI libraries which are endorsed by Microsoft and have greater integration with the OS. As you note, it can be quite difficult for the user to tell by look alone which library is used for any particular application, but that doesn’t mean there are no benefits to using a native GUI — the integration with the OS is important. For instance, I use a custom keyboard layout; generally I find this works fine with native GUIs, but non-native ones don’t support it very well (with the notable exception of Qt). And that may be a somewhat niche example, but one can imagine many other preferences which non-native GUIs might not respect: accessibility, dark mode and border colours are three I can think of, and I’m sure there are more.

Python 3.10 Readiness
I’m always at a loss at home. At work we treat everything as cattle. Nodes get provisioned at boot, we have gazillions of them, and they are all managed. (On a different physical lan, mind you.) redundancy of state is provided on the software level by the database (s).

At home getting a similarly redundant setup is time, space, and energy consuming. Moreover, most of the home tooling does not have distributed data built in so we need to have a distributed fs or nfs. This brings a whole next level of maintenance and heartache that I simply do not want at home.

Consequently, I run one machine and make backups of the config and hope I can restore it when things go south.

Does anyone have better ideas?
Or performance! There's lots of low-hanging fruit in the Python interpreter that doesn't get improved to preserve the purity of the runtime, or whatever. (Well, at least this might see improvements now. But for a long time people would point at it and laugh.)
