Yes, at least to start with. That is, a mapping from familiar physical objects to virtual ones will help a lot of people get started, and in some cases may make them more productive, in the same way that the desktop with manila files became how we thought about GUIs. The challenge is what is the lowest friction metaphor. A house ? A tree? A neighborhood of streets?

Secondly, all metaphors must eventually give way to a new conception of operation to realize the power of the thing. Manila folders don't cut it when you think about symlinks, loopback mounts, serialization, and all the gazillion other ways we use files now. in the metaverse we might start with houses, or plazas, but it can't be where we stop.

There is a lot of good stuff. What am I missing? For example:

> We managed to partially flip the organizational culture around through clarity and being consistent in communication which resulted in other engineering teams coming to us for advice, education, and mentoring.

It might be cliche, but not enough VP Engineering / leaders do this kind of stuff. They either don't, or try and fail because it is too hard.
I find the best way to read a Pike statement is to take it as a challenge to your own strongly held belief. I like .dotfiles behaviour and ls -a does not distress me. But, he makes a case it was not deliberate and probably less beneficial than we think.

So I look at that as a reframing: do I have a good rebuttal? No. I have my own muscle memory and comfort factor, but that's all. How would I think if dotfile hiding didn't happen?

Hiding . & .. is arguably as silly. It's not like they can ever not exist but why hide them?
This post would be insightful if it mentioned what his teammembers did after such a crappy experience. Did they go back to academia, or did they go for another industry job?
So these researchers collected ~200 million TLS handshakes, and found a few hundred that were miscomputed, they suspect by bit errors.

However, I do not believe modern computational devices are so unreliable. If I computed 200 million TLS exchanges on my home PC over a few days, I wouldn't expect a single one to be miscomputed. Servers with ECC memory ought to be another order of magnitude more reliable.

So why do we see such high rates of miscomputation?

As you could imagine, the theories have that as a core idea, but are more detailed than that. Nobody ever thought that unexpected = fun.
Among other things, there’s different level of unexpected, something that bends the laws of physics (the cartoon character suspended in the air for a while before falling down) is more funny than, say, the character speaking japanese.

Excluding only one is a more minor restrain of trade than excluding all others? I can't agree, though I admit that excluding one looks nastier if only 'cause it's novel. Logically and economically, re competition, blocking seems less nasty, even if targeted.

But that doesn't mean the courts will side with me and not you. Strict logical coherence isn't always adhered to. It's even been called "the hobgoblin of little minds" - so perhaps Emerson would take your side on this.

Then you should be comparing them with the direct JavaScript equivalent, which would be something like an array of functions and a foreach/invoke over that.

It should also be noted that Qt signals are far from the optimal way this can be implemented in C++. On top of that, C++ itself makes it more complicated than it needs to be by not providing a bound (to receiver) member function pointer as a primitive; but even then, this can be done in two indirections. A compiler for a language that supports such a facility directly - say, Delphi - can compile it down to a single indirection.

Granted, I've become addicted to Jupyter, but of course it has its limitations. I also use EverNote, and have messed with OneNote, but the thing that keeps bringing me back to Jupyter with all of its flaws, is the ability to insert a code cell and have my notes "do" something. Otherwise I have to either insert a link to my code or copy/paste.

This is even for doing something at home like figuring the dimensions of a woodworking project, etc.

Either I'm a freak and the only person interested in this, or it's an idea that would revolutionize note-taking, or something in between.

A couple of decades ago I was in a business that competed directly with one of Sony's divisions (not gaming). Our products were doing extremely well. It's the old story of a small, underfunded, highly motivated team being able to run circles around a large competitor with lots of inertia and, shall we say, more bodies and less talent.

Anyhow, one day I got word from one of our partner companies that they were witness to Sony making an arrangement with a major reseller in that industry segment to not feature our products at the most important tradeshows in the industry in exchange for discounts and other compensation. They must have done that with multiple vendors because that year we went from being featured in dozens of booths to almost not having any product on the show floor.

I was absolutely incensed. The problem is, when you have asymmetry of financial and legal power of that magnitude the laws almost don't matter. When spending $250K on a retainer just so that a law firm will take your case puts you in financial peril, well, you have to choose your battles. They caused massive damage to us using such techniques.

Anyone who doesn't believe business is a bloody contact sport isn't in touch with reality. It can get brutally ugly. I have the scars to prove it.
I gonna disagree with everybody, by agreeing with everybody: Rockefeller's Standard Oil benefited consumers by providing much safer oil at a higher price; the previous race to the bottom delivered low prices - too low, only highly volatile fuel with an unpredictable mix could be produced for such low prices. But Standard Oil also harmed consumers with high prices, particularly over time, compared to government oversight; say by regulation or cerification of refinerys. So it was broken up, eventually.

Is this a new usage of the word "debounce"? When I was in college, debounce is what we did to eliminate repeated inputs from clicky buttons connected directly to the GPIO pins on a microcontroller.

Here it just sounds like they misspelled "redirect".
This is incorrect in theory and in practice. You have this reversed.

It is definitely possible, to what practical scale is the question.

And you need to define what failure actually means.

eg while the software might not fail, the specification very well might, meaning the software does exactly as asked, but asked to do something that creates an overall failure.

Many failures relate to specification, not execution. Failure in specification is the very difficult problem to solve.

But even just looking at the software component, it would involve coding everything from the ground up, generating code from specifications proven by formal methods and so on. Likely meaning no third party libraries.

The code generation tools themselves would require specification and validation by formal methods.

You could rapidly end up at a place where easily your greatest risks were hardware failure or hacking.

As someone who designs safety critical systems for a living, most code created these days is on a "near enough" basis and the benefits are so immense that occasional downsides are tolerable.

So we have evolved to a quagmire for consumer grade software that will never get any better without a total restart or rethink, but that is probably ok, because the benefits far outweigh the risks, in general.

Think about something slightly similar. The risk of dying in a car or bike incident is very real, but if you asked anyone would they rather take that risk or walk everywhere, they would happily take the risk.

Same as people doing their banking on PC.
Plus, in the PC banking context, other systems have evolved outside to ameliate that risk. (eg ability of the banks to roll back transactions).
So the cost of seeking ultimate infallibility just isn't worth the results.

Ultimately, everything is a trade-off.
it is impossible. You can put really hign testing standards and principles to make the software really safe but you can never prove a complex system never fails or can't be hacked. The tradeoff is that changes will be very very slow and expensive. This is needed for mission critical systems but an overkill for most consumer softwares as you won't survive the market with this approach.
The risk of focusing on more transient relationships is that in the long run you won't reap the benefits of compounding interest, which is arguably where all the best stuff in life comes from: https://nav.al/long-term
My feeling is that creativity is about exploring the problem and solution space so without detailed knowledge of those applying any creativity is impossible.

To be concrete art creativity might transfer a bit to UI/UX, but mostly you’d get nothing.

There might be aspects of how to conduct that search that could transfer, but it would be limited.

On the flip side I’m sure they would inspire each other for things that are t transferable.
Tangential story, early-teen equivalent of floor-cheerios:

My daughter currently has braces and is at the stage where she needs those elastics (tiny rubber band thingies) on either side of her mouth, which she needs to take out before eating and put back in after eating.

I've started taking photos of the various places in the house that we've found these rogue elastics as they have a habit of 'pling'-ing off into the ether during removal or replacement, and they're freaking impossible to track mid-flight by the naked eye (mine at least).

Hallway outside the study, just inside the laundry door, on the footstool, on the coffee table, on the kitchen bench... Nothing particularly funny in and of itself, but I'm hoping the volume and regularity of discovery makes it funny.
It does nothing for vibrations/infrasound. Ear plugs or a noise machine can only help with the outside noise but, with many Americans preferring to wear hard sole shoes/boots inside, you are likely to be always aware of your upstairs neighbors movements.
Great idea. Keep expanding it as you have time.
The question, rather, is whether it'll struggle with 10k threads.
You know, I think they should, now that you mention it.

This idea that time is money, that everything a company offers should be compensated, is bullshit. The tech industry -- especially startups -- got to where they are today all the goodwill of nerds and early-adopters, and they would constantly ply them with free stuff so that it would plant seeds in their minds that would later blossom to convince the decisionmakers to buy their product.

But it also had the effect of empowering entire generations of future tech workers, by giving them hands-on experience that later translates to useful employees and loyal customers. Microsoft is said to have a similar idea by not cracking down on Windows piracy too hard ... better they're running a pirated copy of Windows than Linux or Mac!

So yes, companies should give their stuff away for free. There is too much focus on dollars and money with how they operate, it's like we forget that they are made of people and that they SERVE other people (their customers). Everything having its price is an extrene sense of entitlement on behalf of management
Uhm, goats are by far the cheapest way to clear out certain kinds of brush and noxious plants. They're also cute and act like dogs.

Pesticides are dangerous and still leave a dead plant, machines jam (and lop off fingers,) doing it by hand takes a long time and can risk major rashes from poison ivy or cuts from thorns.

Part of my back yard is impenetrable from the kinds of plants goats eat.

Fine. But by Cloudflare's own statement it didn't fail because they used webauthn, it failed because they didn't use TOTP.

Think of it like a bank robber showing up to a job to crack a safe with an autodialer. He will have no problems on 9/10 banks that use dial safes, but this one has an electronic keypad. The electronic keypad being better or worse is irrelevant, it protected the bank because the robber brought the wrong tool.

No, this is just wrong. Whoever came up with this theory has no idea what they’re talking about. If there’s a non-zero probability of the subscription not being canceled (more revenue) then yes, more revenue is good. Otherwise later revenue is bad, public or private. There is no exception to this.
Similar reasons to why things are priced at $x.99 or why car prices are often quoted in per-month payments or why mail-in rebates make you mail something in rather than just give you a discount.

Perfectly rational people may factor everything in properly... but the world is woefully short of perfectly rational people.
I like the article that this post refers to about efficient implementation
(https://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/regexp1.html). It mentions a debate between
J. Friedl and comp. sci. purists about whether NFAs and regular expressions should really be called what they are in the face of backreferences and other notation. Friedl suggests another name should be used, because de facto "NFAs"
are no longer equivalent to DFAs.

Since Xerox Research Europe's invention of xfst, the term "extended regular
expression" is already taken for a specific superclass of expressions that
describe regular relations.

So I propose two alternatives, semi-regular expressions and super-regular expressions, for strings that look like regular expressions but that use non-regular extensions like backreferences that push the complexity beyond what can be done with NDAs/DFAs.

Yep, my neighbours keeps goats next to my propery, they escape once in a while. They go directly to the soft greens in my garden. When the fences hold they eat the area clean by type as you say. First the grass, then the leves of the small trees, then the bark (killing the small trees). Only when there is nothing else left will they eat the nettles.
But how does this actually happen? Who puts the tracker on there and when?

Sure, if you finance through the dealership, then dealership personnel could stick it in there before you drive away, I guess. It plenty of people finance through third parties. Surely Wells Fargo, for example, doesn’t send an agent down to stick a tracker in your car while you’re sleeping or at work…

Most of these are pretty spot on. The one thing I will note is that the staking rewards are not a constant 5%, they are a function of the network demand. Stakers are rewarded a portion of transactions, so the volume of demand per block will increase the gas price, and the validator rewards. If the number of validators on the network increases, each individuals rewards will drop.

That being said, the adoption of layer 2 technologies has taken off, and significantly impacted the demand for layer 1 blockspace.

This is strictly illegal, but as in so many other cases in which Amazon has used its market power to that extend market power (that's the illegal part); they've never been prosecuted. Merely preventing authors from offering their ebooks at a low price (but still far higher than the cost of delivery) is strictly illegal (given that the kindle has immense ebook market power.) But Amazon does it. Welcome to Bezos-World.

It sounds like you just have a way of tallying up your EV charging and sending it to the utility. For awhile PG&E has had separate EV plans if you physically install a separate meter, which seems silly.

Tax laws are confusing and nonsensical everywhere.

Seems to me for local taxes land-value tax is clearly the most sensible. It aligns the intensives much better.

On state and federal level you can use flat or progressive income tax.

But recently I have been thinking if land-value tax for everything just didn't make sense.

I do think relying on production has it's limits. Countries would rather save up on apples, be self sufficient for a rainy day rather than spend them.

Given how my (non-western) dollar converts to USD, I wouldn't hire a US person for grunt work unless he/she had specific expertise to teach or a local knowledge bias for when my firm expands to the US. So there's less inflow to the US, and only to a select few people. So where does that lead us to? The US printing money and doing as much as it can to mitigate the side effects.

So your population has only a select few who get the inflows. And you can tax them for distribution.

And chances are you're not going to get other countries to spend their apples. You could get workers to accept lower pay rates, but I highly doubt it's possible without upsetting stability. Are you doomed to huge amounts of money printing then? Maybe you'd get away with it since you're the US after all.
Well I think aligning on that is kind of the point.

For most people growth means that the economy is getting better and recession means that the economy is getting worse.

Maybe you are right and the word recession has become too politicized to use to describe the different scenarios.

Corrupt internal state is just as much of a problem. It doesn't have to be corruption in a sense of garbage memory. It just has to violate invariants - say, one variable got updated, and the other one that depends on it did not.
