That part sounds like "Don't be perceived as a cost-center," but I think most big-lumbering-org departments have figured out how to plead their case. That's a lot harder to do with something like teaching, where there's a large supply of candidates and everyone agrees the job is socially valuable, but confounding factors make it very hard to measure any individual's contribution.
That's pretty much where I currently am. "easy" job, the rest of my free time is spent on open source side projects. But it's just not a great feeling to be paid to make nothing useful, and to have so much of my life be effectively wasted time.
You are welcome. Julia issues tend to be reproduceable as Pkg (the package manager) builds against a deterministically compiled binaries and has downloads package versions from a particular git branch, which are automatically archived and snapshoted to GitHub.

Encoders are pretty nice for volume and screen brightness, and if you are working with some specific software you could in theory remap them to other random stuff like scroll through a video editor timeline. My usecase is limited to volume/screen brightness.

Indeed. The Soviets touted their more comprehensive denazification vs the greater “rehabilitation” / whitewash by the west as an example of western hypocrisy. Of course they were better at propaganda.

But from the outside it looked like one of the reasons for the incompetence of the DDR was that they had purged everyone of any skill and experience. But despite the large body of writing on this subject it still feels like a broadly unexamined subject to me, at least in Germany and France.
Makita is still incredibly popular in the US, alongside dewalt. Those are the big three people typically use.

It lacked the immortal “Where there’s a whip, there’s a way” marching song from the animated Return of the King, so that’s debatable.
Stay off of LinkedIn, then. That seems to be the place people practice it[0].

I don't humblebrag, and it doesn't win me friends. There's some things that I'm really, really good at, and lots of things that I'm mediocre, to really bad, at. I don't hide any of it.

Most folks on venues like this, assume I'm arrogant (I'm not). I just don't pretend to be bad at stuff I'm good at, and don't pretend to be good at stuff I'm bad at.

That seems to be an aberration, in today's world.

I'm not looking for work or friends. I don't participate in any social media, outside of this place (an occasional update on Facebook or LinkedIn. Almost never Twitter, Instagram, etc.). I just hang out here, because there aren't many tech people around my neck of the woods, and I'm quite impressed by many of you. I participate, because I feel a sense of duty to do so (If I want to be a member, I should act like a member).

> open source devs generally don't get paid for their work lol.

have you seen this https://github.com/sponsors ?
By "something", I mean something different in the process like in the comment.
If you ask to talk to developer or see some code, or meet the team for a day, you will never have a positive answer. Recruiter will say it's not possible and disqualify you.
There are multitudes, and they differ across the country. I will add though that “high standards” in many states is as low a bar as ‘generic bachelors degree’ and/or ‘experience relevant to content area’ and the shortage persists.
Interesting means different things for different people. For me, crypto is still interesting (maybe because I didn’t earn any significant money from it yet, though there sere some lucky moments).

Rule of thumb: interesting pays a lot less, because there are much more skilled people willing to work on “interesting”. This is why there is no shortage of people willing to enter the academia, despite abysmal working conditions there. But hey, at least you get “interesting”. I also entered the academia after 15 years of working in the industry, for the same reason.

So, what’s interesting for you? Health tech? Climate tech? The military? Intelligence analysis? Pure mathematics and type theory? What moves you?
Not good if you want to also know stuff about the algorithms performance as that assignment is now accessing a global vs accessing a const.

Yeah, I'm pretty bitter about it too. I've seen it in both industries I've worked at, it's so bad.

Actual technical recruiters will contact me and be interested despite me barely matching their stack, and I once god hired on a job doing a technical test on a language I had (almost) never used before.

But if I try actually applying to a job with my CV? Often rejected because I don't have keyword X. The same company would probably hire me if I came from a recruiter lol
Namespaces are pervasive in Python. Virtually everything you deal with is a namespace: package, modules, classes, instances; even functions are namespaces:

>>> def func(ns):
... print(ns.stuff)
...
>>> func.stuff = 'honking great'
>>> func(func)
honking great

I think you're forgetting the role of the editor when it comes to publishing a book. Novels without editors are more often than not incomplete, rambling, and inconsistent. Perhaps a veteran author could pull it off but that would be due to the time they've spent in dialogue with others over the course of several publications allowing them to internalize an editorial critique of their own work.
If you're being proved right, why change your mind? If it's too early to have data, then keep going. If data is starting to go against you, then intellectual humility will allow you to pivot to a better direction. Intellectual humility is not at the expense of intellectual rigor, it's what enables it. It's the difference between creating a high quality and fair experiment and creating one that's more likely to give you the result you want.

It's less about "I'm wrong i need to listen to everyone and rethink my opinions all the time", its "I could be wrong. If i see "data" that goes against my opinion, i should consider changing my opinion rather then assuming the data is wrong". Or just agree to disagree and implicitly don't assume the person disagreeing with you is an idiot/morally_bankrupt/etc...

The article touches on this from the perspective of threat but people have a tendency to lie to themselves; which is why so many mechanisms in experiments and medical studies exist to force intellectual humility into the process.
Seems you are the first to mention python here. Nobody forced you to enter the discussion.

> even if the bootloader is loaded from eMMC, in what way is the user impeded?

The "bootloader" isn't just a bootloader, it's effectively a critical firmware component. If the "bootloader" is missing or garbled, the board is bricked and can only be recovered by removing the eMMC, which would be very difficult for most users. Such a thing should not be stored on a data partition and managed like any other distribution package. If they aren't going to ship a separate SPI chip, the eMMC should at least be repartitioned to include a separate "firmware" partition and the bootloader should be shipped there. Distributions should then boot via a chainload mechanism, just like on x86 hardware. (This mechanism can be UEFI based but need not be.)

Poly unsaturated fats easily becomes trans-fats when heated. This is very common in factory produced food since trans fats melt at higher temperatures making their shape easier to keep if you turn the poly unsaturated fats to trans fats.

But I don't think there are any dangers to poly unsaturated fats other than them easily turning into trans fats, so as long as factories are banned from making them into trans fats it should be fine. Or really the opposite, poly unsaturated fats are the healthiest fats, omega 3 and omega 6 and so on belongs to this group, just be sure to treat it carefully and don't let it turn to trans fats.
That's really useful (I was trying to work out how to do this without using a custom image) but I would just note that there actually is a FreeBSD 13.1 image available under Images -> Partner Images -> FreeBSD (from the FreeBSD Foundation).

Can you cite a credible reference for this claim? Records indicate that he was hired by the 66th Detachment of the U.S. Army Counterintelligence Corps (CIC) (source: Wikipedia). But I am unable to find evidence that the CIA hired him to train US agents in torture methods.

Good to know, thanks! Then that's something I'd definitely love to see explained on the website :) ideally with a clarification how to progress into it at some point. That said, the machine I bought a while ago is a vintage mechanical one, so presumably tough. Also, per @almog's sibling post, I just found https://old.reddit.com/r/myog/wiki/index which may be a good starting point & community for me to explore.

Ask HN: Where do you get AI news from?
I've been really getting into AI and I'd like to follow developments more closely, but I don't know of any good sources for regular updates (except HN, but HN can sometimes go weeks without AI-related updates). Any recommendations?
a) Wow, this looks amazing, despite me having no need for wireless or interest in a small keyboard.

b) Wait, there are low profile mechanical switches? I always thought mechanical keyboards were impossible for me as I far prefer flat keys than the giant keys with gaping valleys between them. But apparently that’s not necessarily the case? Now I want to try one out.
The reason it's so difficult, to almost impossible to get fat on those foods you have listed. Is because you'll become too full to overeat. Not only is it healthier for plethora of reasons. But you'll eat less.

On top of that, if eating for long enough your gut biome will change and you'll start craving whole food.

It's running open source ZMK firmware, which has no problems connecting to Linux devices, and if I remember correctly the "base keymap" features will all work cross-OS, and can be remapped easily with a firmware update.
So I have experience in higher education (for decades), as a consumer of technology, as well as the key player in implementation of software for campuses: This is a field with many opportunities for technology growth, but there are two problems.

1. Many of the ed tech "solutions" are just pretty packaging on the same three services (scheduling, generic student/institution information databases, student tracking). There is very, very, very little actual innovation in this space. One or two exceptions to this rule are in the accessibility realm, and are genuinely interesting, but are mostly just knock-offs of each other with little real innovation in the last three to five years.

2. There is a butt-load of inertia behind the big players, and higher ed institutions are notoriously difficult to convince to change anything, let alone their core infrastructure. This is probably the largest opportunity, but the hardest to get into. The companies that run databases for institutions are massive, and ingrained into the culture at most places. But they're also incredibly un-user friendly, and are massively expensive.
Yeah, I haven't thought everything through yet. However, the hope that this would force more of the new housing to be more affordable. A poor person isn't going to be buying a luxury condo so I was trying to think of a way to incentivize builders to increase stock and create more affordable housing. There are definitely some second order effects.
> That doesn't sound like an improvement to the dependencies loading...

This gives the package authors a tool to basically "profile" the loading time of their package, which will help them optimize the loading time. So there _will_ be downstream improvement to package loading for us users too.

> Which for me happens every time I change a struct and must reload Julia (which happens a lot when I'm prototyping code, which is what I do 90% of the time)

The workaround involving `MyClass = MyClass1` that a sibling comment mentions comes from [this Revise.jl manual page](https://timholy.github.io/Revise.jl/stable/limitations/). Revise in general enables a few different ways to work around this, and it's useful to integrate into your workflow (as much as it feels weird at first to go from full REPL to half REPL-half editor).
> former SS member Lohse obtained a visa to visit America in the mid-50s to ply his trade in New York’s thriving art market

This surprises me. I was under the impression that New York's art market throve after WW2 largely due to refugees driven from European art markets by the war, particularly from, but not only, Paris and Berlin. New York had not previously been the art mecca it later became.

He could not have been very successful there.
I'm not sure if "mitigation of uncertainty" is a concept that is any more rigorously defined than "intelligence", so although it might be helpful to link the two, it still leaves a lot of questions unanswered.

To give an example of how I think "mitigation of uncertainty" differs from "intelligence", consider a primitive chess computer that just looks ahead a couple of moves. You could say that its algorithm is "mitigating the uncertainty" of what move its opponent will play next, but this sort of simplistic program seems mechanical with no signs of learning or creativity.

In contrast, consider a hypothetical AI that can read all the existing mathematical literature and develop new conjectures, and even prove them. I wouldn't say that such an AI was mitigating any uncertainty, but it would be doing something that for humans would require a lot of intelligence.
Might be a little bit paradoxical from your perspective but this is very self-centered behavior. If someone tells you ”no”, it’s probably not because they don’t like you. People say no when they don’t want something themselves, and it probably has nothing to do with you or your validation.

The traditional keyboard standard may not be perfect but it used to be standard. I had muscle memory that served me. Now my client laptop, employer laptop, personal laptop, home gaming/photo desktop, media computer, etc all want to have wildly different, completely unique layouts, usually with massive compromises. "you just have to get used to it" assumes I'll have a single keyboard for prolonged period of time but that is simply not the case for me. I need the dedicated home/insert/pgup/pgdwn block because I use it every minute. I need function keys in easy blocks of four so I don't hunt for f5 or f9. Layout should be a solved problem, or let's work on making a better layout standard, but each keyboard having its own layout is a personal nightmare.
We also pay people based on how much power they have. People with lots of power and influence have more pull to ensure better pay for themselves. That power may come from being hard to replace, but it can also come from other things. Even bad CEOs that run their company into the ground, who really should get replaced, still draw significant pay on the way down, and may only be hard to replace because of the power they hold over the company.

But also: people don't get paid based on the value they create for society, but on the value they create for shareholders. So running a company into the ground may actually be short-term profitable for the shareholders if you manage to keep dividend payouts high. Parasitic companies extract value from society and give it to their shareholders. Lots of companies do enormous damage to various aspects of society, but as long as they don't have to pay for that damage, they can still be profitable for their shareholders.

Shareholder value is the biggest curse ever unleashed on/by capitalism.

If you believe that, you should look more into the history of ethnic discrimination in the US. "Holding people back" is a systemic issue, and one that is still present.

But it is already bad enough that Afroamericans had been kept from acquiring wealth by various means, judicial and extrajudicial for much of the last century. They are closing the wealth gap, but extremely slowly.

Ignoring that history is part of a basically racist system.

During my whole primary education, trans fats were considered a healthy alternative to saturated fat, this was universally promoted by the same authorities, and tens of millions of people suffered poor health, obesity, and premature death.

Unlike tobacco, none of the researchers responsible for this calamity have been censured, sued, or otherwise suffered negative consequences. They are, for the most part, still in power, and research is conducted under their auspices.

Does this mean they're wrong about linoleic acid being healthy as well? No, not inherently, but it does mean that it's worth looking elsewhere and drawing your own conclusions.
So nobody should try anything that anyone else has had success with? An awful lot of successful companies wouldn't exist if people followed your thinking. These aren't the kind of numbers VCs like, anyway.
Why is it not ok to align with American foreign policy? I guess you’re implying that Americans are ok benefiting from other forms of labor exploitation? Why does that matter? Going back to the climate change example: everyone benefits from GHG emissions. Allowing arguments to be derailed by “NO U” is a quick way to stifle all discussion.

To me, your argument, fully constructed, is: “you can’t care that Uyghur’s are enslaved because America also uses slave labor and American foreign policy is anti-China.” How is that an argument?

It seems like there is definitely an advantage to getting apps on these "stores" early in their lifecycle, though I never even hear about their existence until much later. Does anyone know a way to learn about new app stores/marketplaces early on, besides obsessing over tech news constantly?
The wording is a bit weird, but "squishing" here just means using a constant number (the normalization constant) and multiplying all numbers in a vector by it. E.g: Multiplying [0,2,2,0] by 2 gives you [0,4,4,0], which is better distributed over the I3 distribution [0,2,4] (which goes all the way to 4). Any additional values that might get lost to rounding between 0 and 2 could be more easily restored that way. E.g. [0,1,2,2,0] would become [0,2,2,2,0] without squishing and [0,2,4,4,0] with it.
This resonates with me, and I recently read (yet another) Cal Newport book that helped me codify the feeling into words.

“So Good They Can’t Ignore You” makes a lot of good points, but IMO chief among them is building up career capital that you can use to leverage to work on things you’d rather be doing. In this example, you earned so much capital with the boring project that you were able to spend some to work on something you wanted to—obviously higher-ups don’t want to lose a good worker.
