Modern Arm SBCs definitely offer better low-power computing than the Atom and Celeron things of old. The Pinebook Pro Arm64 laptop gets about 8 hours of mixed use on a full charge when using eMMC instead of NVMe storage. It charges using a plain DC barrel jack on just 5 volts, and can trickle-charge on low current. If "mixed use" doesn't involve surfing the web and using Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, it easily goes beyond 10 hours. The M1/M2 MacBook Airs also offer fantastic battery life, even if charging them is a bit more complicated.
> I often have the experience of banging away at some problem for a few hours, then going away and not thinking about it for a while then a simple resolution pops into my mind without much effort.

This phenomenon is explained by focused vs. diffused modes of thinking, which I first heard about in Learning How to Learn MOOC [0]. There are many popular articles on the Web explaining the concept.

Oh yeah, the CSU woreships this guy... And after all certain CSU poloticians, including, allegedly, Strauss own daughter, did during the pandemic with mask deliveries, the CSU really learned well from him.

You don't get driven from town so for calling him out anymore. That moved to villages a while ago, otherwise I would have had some serious issues back at school.
> Tangent: reading this, all I could think was "you're allocating memory in a motor controller?!?" and then "you're using interrupts in a motor controller!?!".

to be fair, that STM32 from what I can see benchmarks at 550 in CoreMark which puts it above a Pentium I, it's not like they're using a 8051 or a PIC16F... there's likely a lot of spare CPU time
If you want to improve your situation I would be more specific with your manager. Say exactly what you need, not just what the problem is. It sounds like you need: 1) additional engineering resources backfilled, even if only part time and 2) a more direct conversation about promotion. You want to start the process now.

Also have this same discussion with your grand-boss or even the CTO. It sounds like you have one foot out the door mentally so YOLO.

Leaving is certainly one good option too. Starting this effort shows good initiative which is great to talk about in interviews.

In no other industry/medium do you see nearly as much survivorship bias as in discussion around videogames.

I’ve always liked to think of it as a lottery, but where there are a ton of things you can do to buy yourself more tickets.

Doing the bare minimum is unlikely to bring you success, but it does happen… on the other hand sometimes a game will have a lot of things going for it and still perform poorly.

Also of all the things that are likely to bring a game success, originality is quite far down the list. That’s one of those areas where survivorship bias has a huge influence. (source: I’ve been a self-sustaining indie game dev for 12 years)
This one is mildly funny:

That was indeed the one. Worse than I (mis)remembered, LCD screen instead of e-paper.
Exactly, especially since every person is totally different. Just find what suits you best.
I just recently read The E Myth Revisited after seeing it reccomended here lots of times. Great book.
> UI(not UX)

What exactly is the difference? I've always seen those used as synonyms (I thought?)
I imagine Roblox will have been a similar inspiration for developers in a few years.
Standards aren't that much of a constraint for SQL/databases, for example. Mostly one works with the dialect that is used by the specific implementation. Moreover standard hasn't kept pace with innovation by various vendors.

So in the case of SQL more than de-jure standards, it is the generalized set of features that popular implementations support that matters. Isn't that the case with Prolog?

So I'd be more interested in reasons other than literal adherence to de-jure standards.
Very well said! It is true that once you grok this technique, you are basically unstoppable. It does make for slow progress at first, but it's worth it.

Edit: I went to grad school for math, and I got there by pretty much doing what you described!
I instituted the same rule in our slack. No politics. It helps to do it early on in the company.

We’ve (so far) never had a political debate. Hope it stays that way Forever.
UI is the visual part of UX.

Other parts of UX are latency, bugs, performance...
I've noticed that about Monzo. They were very early adopters of Kubernetes amongst other things, which surprised me as early Kubernetes was not exactly secure...

Having seen some presentations about their tech. stack, it seems very clever and has interesting ideas, but I was worried that once the people who designed it had moved on , how maintainable would it be (coming from a banking background where I found that systems lived on for EVAR)

I believe an announcement of the underlying translation tech was discussed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32049469

If this is the same tech (i.e. Bergamot project), I believe there is also a standalone online demo of the translation engine here: https://mozilla.github.io/translate/

Correct me if this is something else, though.
as noted here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32383729 some men can be tetrachromats, but what is more interesting to me, especially regarding idea of 'training' to use it, could someone like say this designer male reliably see like a tetrachromat through intensive training, although maybe not as easily and perhaps with an intermediate range.
Have you tried a fanless one ? Some Surface models with i5 or i3 for instance are fanless. Or a MacBook, as mentioned. They work well.

Not a gamer myself though. Personally, since trying a humble Celeron fanless laptop for kids once that made no noise whatsoever, I had a revelation, and never went back. I'd rather edit code on a slower machine than use a more powerful but nerve-wracking machine if it comes to that. ( Can't tolerate some frequencies at all. AC, fridges, laptop fans .. )
If you want to fix these issues in the context of Scrum I suggest J. Coplien's "A Scrum Book". Or you can just read the patterns here: https://sites.google.com/a/scrumplop.org/published-patterns/... - The book is a slightly reworked reprint of the pattern work done by that group of people.

It follows the pattern work by Christopher Alexander [1]. The patterns form a cohesive interlinked language that provides context for each pattern.

Here is what it says about the Daily Scrum: https://sites.google.com/a/scrumplop.org/published-patterns/...

There some useful patterns that might even make sense outside of Scrum on there. Anyways, framing approaches and solutions in a cohesive pattern language is intriguing in its own right in my opinion.

This looks like a real solid course, thanks for sharing!
As Sweden's example shows, no. The economic downturn was due to the pandemic (people being sick and isolating, other people preferring not to travel/go out to avoid getting sick with associated risks for them and friends/family, etc.), not actions trying to combat it.
I think it's hard to contradict this, yet it's a hardly accepted lemma.

I don't know why, maybe because we perceive knowledge as a pure thing, that can be shared, embraced and understood out of thin air, that we can be pure minds or something along those lines.

Yet, from personal experience, being taken down from your high horse and beaten down to earth by life itself (ie, this 0.0001% probability event that is 100% for you), well... It takes more than a fool to not take a learning out of it.

For me the most “woa” thing about LISP and its macros is that code is data, and data is code. The representation of a (nested) list is exactly the same as actual code, and using macros, I can manipulate it as such.

That is pretty profound, and I still have yet to find a language that just makes it so simple and elegant as with LISP.
I have this same issue - really weird - I have a joint account already with someone on my Starling and can't start a second one, anyone know another alternative I could use for a joint account?
Let's see... they already had a coalition government once (2008-20013) with the FDP, with the result that during the next elections the FDP lost so many votes that they weren't represented in the next parliament. Then they ruled alone for 5 more years, and since 2018 they have a coalition with the "Freie Wähler", which is a loose grouping of ex-CSU members. Let's see how well they will fare in the next elections. So far the only remarkable thing about them that the press reported is that their boss and now deputy prime minister Hubert Aiwanger is a vaccine skeptic...

Another take, from Yogananda: put your energy into accomplishing things in the world but when your work day is done turn off your working engine.

At 71 (I am still working) I have had an unusual career. Since I was 25, for the most part I stopped working full time, capping my work at 32 hours a week. I was able to do this at some great companies working in great teams. My boss from 40 years ago visited me [1] from out of town 6 weeks ago and I apologized a little for causing him any hassles because of this. He laughed and said that while it was true that I was missed in my no work Mondays, that I was the easiest person he ever managed because I really focused on my 4 work days.

[1] so far this year, I have had 4 visits from old coworkers who traveled to my town, ranging from working together 1 year ago to 40 years ago. I like to keep in touch with people.
I laughed until I had a coughing fit at "open-plan fartbox".
It can be done before lunch time
I find it hard to believe that they struggle to make money off bank accounts. It's an intentional top of funnel strategy to offer free accounts.

the inverse square law problem isn't different for short-throw projectors (and it seems the person you are responding to was in fact installing short-throw projectors anyway).

short-throw projectors are just normal projectors optimized for very large beam angles, so at the end of the day the brightness out is exactly proportionnal to lumen amount between regular and short-throw projectors, modulo negligible airborne particles loss.
U.S. House lawmakers look to jump-start self-driving legislative push
The threat most developers should be concerned about is what happens once a major solar flare (like the Carrington event in 1859) shows up. That is destined to happen at some point, and not unlikely within the next few decades. Hard to predict the fallout for the internet and other technical infastructure more broadly, but I'm guessing it won't be pretty.
Not very hopeful on this working out without merging institutions (central banks, etc..) and laws, which, of course, are much harder to get agreement to.

Unless you absolutely require deletion of a node specified by pointer, why would you include backlinks?

(Also, if you’re fine with resorting to randomized data structures, conventional treaps are quite good while being IMO easier to understand and code than either AVL or RB. The only reason I could imagine for not using them is adversarial input, although I’ve never seen an attack demostrated. Now that I’m reading the paper, zip trees seem quite nice and simple as well.)
Monzo seems to have gone all-in on microservices (they have thousands apparently), which sounds like an absolute nightmare.

But if it's the visual part of UX, then surely any UI issue is also a UX issue.
Old jira was a kitchen sink. New jira seems to follow the Jobs philosophy or thinking they know what we want more than we do. They've never had a good middle ground. Old jira was impossible to configure because of all the knobs and new jira is impossible to configure because they took away all the knobs.
I could see by the premise that it was great, back in the windows 2000/XP days (judging by the requirement sections).

However today, I think I'd rather go even one step further and just use site generators, such as Hugo.
brute forcing is rarely the best solution to a problem.

the best solution usually involves studying the problem, dissecting it in smaller problems, finding a way to do the same thing brute force does, by doing much less (work smarter, not harder).

Which also means you have to slow down at first, to be faster when you encounter the same (or similar) problem again.

Earth broke the record for the shortest day since atomic clocks were invented
i realized with a jolt there is a mistake in this post. i accidentally took the co2 mass and not the appropriate atomic mass (and justified this internally by “well, and doesnt oxygen only have two protons?” no that’s helium). the appropriate figure is a mere 1.5 mi radius sphere.
They are related and probably sometimes overlapping. But you can think of UX as "what happens when a user clicks this button" and UI as "what color should the button have".

But 'living to 130' is an option, not an obligation. You can always leave sooner if you want.
If you want to go down that rabbit hole, I think you are better-off just relying on the ubiquity of android phones.

Instead of preloading an e-reader. Preload a usb-c flash drive with various databases, and an APK with the software to read/copy the databases (and other useful utilities). Flash drives are small, and reasonably cheap. You can stash them in your house, or carry one in your wallet.

If there is an apocalypse, simply find the nearest android phone; enable side-loading, install the APK off the flash drive and copy the databases onto the phone.

With the right software, you can make the database somewhat viral by allowing copying over adhoc wifi networks. A new person can get the database onto their phone by connecting to the adhoc network of a phone with the database, enabling sideloading, installing the apk and letting the two phones sync.

Though this does add an additional problem that the survivors need to keep phones powered. Might be worth investing reliable battery banks that accept the widest ranges of voltages possible, so they can scavenge power from anywhere.
UI is specifically about the points of interaction between the user and the system. UX is about the entire, holistic experience of using the system, whether interactive or not.

The latter is a superset of the former.
> and on the approved map

To be fair, this game came out in 1992, decades before Pratchett could be coerced into the idea of providing a canonical map of the disc. :P

"You can't map a sense of humor. Anyway, what is a fantasy map but a space beyond which There Be Dragons? On the Discworld we know that There Be Dragons Everywhere. They might not all have scales and forked tongues, but they Be Here all right, grinning and jostling and trying to sell you souvenirs."
Why have anyone on call in Finland then? If the companies pay full salaries anyway, can't they ask the person to work as usual then

Interactive, live development in Common Lisp is also basically unknown outside of maybe smalltalk. Stuff like "hot reload" in Javascript development is not at all comparable.
Before Lisp, write code, solve problems. After Lisp, write code, solve problems.
Do they lend? That’s where basically all of a bank’s profits come from, deposits are just there mostly as low-cost liquidity (and because creating deposits and the flows of inter-bank transfers are all part of enabling lending to happen).

So I’m always surprised that lending and credit isn’t the core strategy of these banks - there’s very little money to be made in fees…

Many actual carbon taxes/fees that exist in the real world give rural people slightly more money for this reason.

I believe this is the case in parts of Canada and Austria for example.

They're often also phased per sector, so you might have a carbon fee for transport but not industry or vice versa, or have different levels of fees.

It's fairly flexible as a policy tool.
It will starve zero people, because it's not at all the same as volcano ash.

I personally found that learning math was far easier as an adult. Like the author, I sucked in grade school. I learned multiple foreign languages. I did well in the sciences. History and geography were simple. Math? It was the one thing that escaped me. As an adult, after various misadventures, entering into college everything was different. My mind was more disciplined, my teacher was far better, and I was more humble. It was easy then.

You just need 1 or a few to reach "escape velocity", though.

Europe was ok-ish until ~1700, then Britain reached the Industrial Revolution, then everybody in about a 2000km radius suddenly leveled up. Kind of funny how geography and culture work.
Then we can start calling all of the US "California" as well?
DALL·E 2 variations on three common art themes

It's not really how the work is split in bigger commercial teams. The folk fixing the layout bugs aren't the folk who designed the page aren't the folk who designed the flow. I like to avoid big teams but even for me UI/UX mean very different things, you can find this split even on relatively small teams

A 2-3 person team might have frontend/UI/UX being the single 'frontend developer'

A 5-7 person team might have one or more frontend people and one UI/UX person living in Adobe suite all day

Maybe the 7 person team is receiving storyboards from a parent team where all the UX work was done centrall across several 5-7 person teams.
