To practice quicker typing.

This specific one is something that baffles me. Development is all about thinking. You need to understand what you're building well in order to have any chance of making something that works and is bug-free. You need to spend time thinking of names that will make sense in 6 months. You need to organise things well. The actual act of typing things in is a tiny part of the whole process. If typing faster is improving your dev productivity then either you typed really slowly before, or you're not spending enough time thinking about what you're doing. I really don't understand why speed of text input is considered a useful metric on absolutely any level whatsoever. And I say that as someone who types quite fast and who knows their IDE well enough not to be reaching for a mouse every so often.
This is an occasion to remind folks of Harold Cohen's AARON, over which much ink has been spilled. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AARON)
Megapro is also made in “North America” (I assume Canada but would love to hear from someone in the know). So you’d be supporting the “local” American economy, if that matters to you.
100% seems reasonable for other businesses.

If I had a factory with 100 people assembling my product, or a sales team with 100 people selling it, I'd be quite happy to only budget for the cost of another 100 people to pay my rent and run my IT, payroll, accounting, janitorial services, maintaining my machinery...

I get the impression that modern universities have five or ten other employees for each teacher/researcher, which assuming everyone gets the same pay implies 500-1000% overhead, or subsidy from sources other than grants.
The section titled "An Overview of Velox" gets into the meat of it - you give it some data and an optimised plan of the operators you want applied (expression, evaluation, aggregation, etc.) - Velox then executes that plan as efficiently as possible given the available compute resources.

That way multiple top-level systems like analytics databases, dataframe implementations, etc. can all share the same underlying execution engine.
That is exactly the point the article is making though: Do not hire devs that are only happy working in a specific language.

I would add that it cuts both ways: Having developers that are too married to the current tech stack can also cause problems. Sometimes things do need to be rewritten. Sometimes adopting a new tech into the stack can be the right choice and offer competitive advantages. Devs with different backgrounds bring fresh ideas and can help you get out of an local optimum and towards a better global optimum for your goals.

So it is all about balance.

Found a tiny bit more information on arm's press site : https://www.arm.com/company/news/2022/08/arm-files-lawsuit-a...

> Because Qualcomm attempted to transfer Nuvia licenses without Arm’s consent, which is a standard restriction under Arm’s license agreements, Nuvia’s licenses terminated in March 2022. Before and after that date, Arm made multiple good faith efforts to seek a resolution.

If I understand this correctly, arm's licences have an approval process in case of acquisitions for license transfer (which is pretty common), and Qualcomm thought that because they had their own (probably a lot broader) set of arm licenses, they didn't need to seek their approval (or more likely, didn't want to pay some extra transfer cost ?) ?

I can see Qualcomm's argument from a layman's point of view, arm claims that something designed by licensee A can't be transferred to licensee B without their approval, which seems a bit broad of a reach but contracts are weird I guess ? There's no doubt Nuvia's contracts was less favorable to whatever set of licenses Qualcomm operates with arm (relative company sizes and all).

Reuters article goes on about Qualcomm eventually ditching arm's Cortex designs and replacing them by Nuvia's being what this is about. That seems a bit of a stretch, and would be a large pivot in how arm used to operate with its licensees that would send a chilling effect if true.

So I'd be quite surprised if that was the case, considering arm is not under new management. I'm not saying there can't be tensions or bruised execs egos on both sides about this, but this seems a bit of a radical step to suspend Nuvia's license and ask that all their design IP be destroyed.
If that page listed every notable person that Putin has murdered by throwing them out of a window, it would be too long and skewed toward modern examples.
International relations have never been about ideals and morals.

We had colonialism, slavery, European nation exploited other continents for centuries, great game in Afghanistan and Middle East between Britain and Russian Empire and later USA. US supported autocratic rulers in Korea and Taiwan. US funded coups against democratic govt in Central and South America and Iran. US supported Pakistan govt in human right violations against what is now Bangladesh. Ukraine has supported Saudi's human right violations against Yaman. Ukraine and China has supported military govt. in Myanmar which toppled democratic govt.
Sure — business is a gamble, made harder by our own foibles. My main point was that even somewhere very data-driven like Amazon, that data should be used within a narrative as a grounding-not-guiding force.

(Disclaimer: I used to work on a customer sentiment analysis team at Amazon, doing a lot of surveys.)

Amusingly, the two paragraphs after what I cited agree on that danger:

> The outside world can push you into Day 2 if you won’t or can’t embrace powerful trends quickly. If you fight them, you’re probably fighting the future. Embrace them and you have a tailwind.

> These big trends are not that hard to spot (they get talked and written about a lot), but they can be strangely hard for large organizations to embrace. We’re in the middle of an obvious one right now: machine learning and artificial intelligence.

I don’t think the digital revolution was lost on Kodak — I think that for organizational reasons they couldn’t pivot.

> The first actual digital still camera was developed by Eastman Kodak engineer Steven Sasson in 1975. He built a prototype (US patent 4,131,919) from a movie camera lens, a handful of Motorola parts, 16 batteries and some newly invented Fairchild CCD electronic sensors.

Not sure how to count but most of the death in Fukushima were because of unnecessary actions by the government that resulted in far more problems then the radiation itself.

Chernobyl I think shouldn't even be counted, its such a different technology stack.

Neither is very deadly. I would just really like to see a nice modern nuclear plant.
Should you choose between holding a political view or having a job?
I absolutely agree. I'm arguing for cookies as an inherently consensual form of tracking and legislation to keep all the other ones in check.

Wouldn't a 17% zinc oxide concentration give you an SPF of 27, not 30?
The "healthy at any size" kick isn't talking about an extra 20 pounds. From the pictures I've seen it is at least an extra 100lbs. The problem is by removing the stigma of being obese, we are ushering in massive health issues and disease for this upcoming generation.
I agree whole hearteadly with your comment. We don't pay good rates (at least compared to the US) so obviously we don't attract quality coders, at least from India. We've had very good success with people from the Eastern block, thought.

> What about an art director at a video game company? 0% artist?

Yes. My CEO has excellent technical (and business) knowledge. He will often give me direction on my projects because he knows both the business requirements but also the technical implementations that might fulfill those requirements.

His input is very valuable, but to say he is a programmer or that he is creating these programs is wrong. He hasn't written a line of code in many years.

Being an Art director is a management position. Having domain knowledge is surely useful, but you're managing, not creating.
Another falsehood to add to the list.
Maybe the future is not that bleak. I would love to see A.I. take over strictly commercial art. And paradoxically enough, this is NOT the case here. Yes, A.I. generated the finalist image, but WE as humans make that art. The picture is sterile up until the very moment it sparks social discussions as it is doing right now. A.I. overtaking jobs is a very human subject. It does not matter how much A.I. evolve, art will only become art if appreciated by humans. Even when A.I. evolve enough to be in a level self-evolving and be influenced by art, their needs will be different from ours, and we will still maintain control over how art impact us.

What we are seeing is not the death of art, but a flaw in our social system, with the livelihood and dignity of individuals being directly tied to their functional importance to society, like cogs in a machine. That is what I think we need to attack.

For all things art, I hope A.I. will help us divorce from the insidious form of commercial art and leave us time to focus on actual art that usher positive social change. An interesting take on that is in Marcuse's One Dimensional Man.

I find it pretty hard to believe "just letting workers die" was at all economically cheaper than having regulations in place to minimize that likelihood. The costs might be subsidised more heavily, but to just waste the years of training and effort that's put into ensuring we have skilled qualified workers (of any sort) is surely enormously expensive.

If it was well-crafted enough, there could easily be carve-outs for "at the time" advice, and requiring updates/clarifications, etc.

> I found that extremely disturbing that archaic religious beliefs would influence foreign policies.

Ahem.

> In the winter of 2003, when George Bush and Tony Blair were frantically gathering support for their planned invasion, Professor Thomas Römer, an Old Testament expert at the university of Lausanne, was rung up by the Protestant Federation of France. [..] President Jacques Chirac wanted to know what the hell President Bush had been on about in their last conversation. Bush had then said that when he looked at the Middle East, he saw "Gog and Magog at work" and the biblical prophecies unfolding. But who the hell were Gog and Magog? Neither Chirac nor his office had any idea. But they knew Bush was an evangelical Christian, so they asked the French Federation of Protestants, who in turn asked Professor Römer. [..] He explained that Gog and Magog were, to use theological jargon, crazy talk. They appear twice in the Old Testament, once as a name, and once in a truly strange prophecy in the book of Ezekiel

Former, former, former, former president Mitterand, not president Hollande.
I agree, eBay and Facebook should not be policing drugs beyond what they are legally required.
This reminds me of the Principal Chalmers meme. In this case, first pondering whether he is wrong, only to conclude that it's the data that's wrong.

I know that's not what the article says per se, but it's only one slightly abstracted reinterpretation removed, as OP's title demonstrates.
Sure, but the thing with "good arguments" is that when two hypotheses oppose each other, it is the case that supporters on each side are sure they are behind the "good argument" so ...

Data doesn't lie; it could be nuanced, yes, but if its truthful then you cannot really argue against that.
Some CEO's have executive coaches that they pay lots of money to. Are good executive coaches good CEOs? No, they are good executive coaches, but that's ok, because that is their job.

Are there executive coaches who are successful and yet give bad advice? Probably, but probably some excellent executive coaches learn to pattern match on problems and deliver a lot of value.

So, this is my long-winded way of saying advice can be valuable even if it comes from someone lacking the skill to use the advice. So, take advice with a grain of salt, realize much advice is autobiographical, but still, it can be valuable.
Orthodox Jew would disagree with you considering that there has been a civil war between mandatory IDF service and the orthodox Jews in Israel stating that religion and Zionism are opposites and not the same.
I wouldn't call abuse the legitimate fight against an oppressor.
> The camera seemingly did all the work compared to an artist that labored to craft an artwork by hand with a brush or pencil. Some feared that painters would forever become obsolete with the advent of color photography.

Isn't it photography that prompted painters to explore other forms of painting like impressionism (eventually with great success)? I wonder what the current wave of technical innovations might trigger in terms of artistic expression...
It took me minimal effort to find the text of the bill. It took me even less effort to find people who ran afoul of the bill for telling the truth as we currently understand it.

It even cites the major news outlets(unidentified) which seem to receive their information from the same government.

I don't like the circus either.
Many red flags...

Talking about big abstract things sometimes clarifies things, but often leads to situations without a clear path forward.
How do we simplify regulation and reduce the influence of short-term corporate thinking for instance?
Israel has offered the Palestinians statehood multiple times, as well as offering it to Jordan to run.

If you think Jewish people don’t deserve to live somewhere where Jewish people have always lived, but think French people are allowed to live in France, then you may hate Jews.

You use the term 'apartheid state' as if Israel not supporting Palestianians is a racial decision against Arabs. In what apartheid state can you have an Arab MP argue with another Arabic MP in Arabic in parliament?
Yeah classic corporate doublespeak. Workers that accept unsafe conditions are "brave", workers that don't unionize are "loyal", etc.
Israel exists because Israel as a nation state is a tiny ally-island in a sea of enemy-aggressors.

Why do you think so many politicians, that claim atheism, are still in favor of our alliance with Israel?

We need them there.
That's because you are free to criticise China or Iran, but get accused of being a nazi for pointing out Israel does similar things. That makes people more angry.
Yeah, sodium is an somewhat unfortunate branch of the technology. It was sort of picked by many nations as a next set, put it had a number of drawbacks. Still, I would have preferred more of those to more PWRs.

I would like to know how cooling intensive it was compare to PWR. And what operating temperature.

Also, some of the Sodium reactor technology and materials is now used by companies like Moltex Energy.

Molten Salt reactors are the likely future in my opinion, but not sure yet what form.
That’s a very callous and detached way to consider human life.

It’s exactly the sort of thinking that led to the execution of the Ford Pinto. Wherein the bookkeepers determined that the number of deaths and cost of wrongful death settlements would be less than the cost of recalls to fix the fatal design error in the car.

Edit: As bizarre as the competition was in other respects, even the world record at the time would barely qualify.
I guess one aspect here - and it will depend on the individual obviously - is thinking through solutions by coding them. As opposed to doodling or whiteboarding, for instance.

If you can do that faster, then perhaps you really can get gains. The typing speed is about iterating quicker to the best solution with draft code, not about literal speed of typing the best solution's code.
Mac's started sucking with their SW problems (usable until around High Sierra), their deprecation of 32bit, glossy displays and ultimately made it impossible with their broken keyboards. They fixed that, but I'm long gone since.

My new cheap Lenovo AMD Ryzen 3 Thinkpad is far better and faster, just horribly heavy and low battery compared to the mac airs. The M1 Air is tempting, but they still have their broken SW.
Assignment of terms of a contract upon acquisition being subject to approval by asignor is a pretty standard contract clause.
Suing your customers is never a good strategy (see the music industry).

The logic really doesn't make sense. If you try to use a design made by someone else with an architecture licence and you have an architecture licence, ARM has to approve it?

I guess they're trying to protect themselves as the sole seller of ARM designs, but even then Qualcomm didn't buy a design, they bought the company. ARM seems to be going overboard here.

And all while RISC-V is nipping at their heels. It's like they want to make it really clear how troublesome licencing proprietary arches is.
>its definitely true? a lot of leftist groups claim to be anti-zionist but end up discriminating against jews

They definitely dont but they always get accused of it.

The Israeli state (headed by the guy who openly doesnt want his daughter to marry a black guy) has several organizations (ADL, etc) set up specifically for the purpose of rooting out and mischaracterizing these examples for the purposes of furthering the aims of the state. They also happen to go after real antisemitism. Sometimes. They didnt give a fuck about viktor orban using hook nosed jew tropes in his campaign adverts though, because "friend of israel" > "friend of jews".

This isnt a "Jewish conspiracy". After all they go after antizionist Jews too. Even an antizionist holocaust survivor in one case.

It's an avowedly pro racism enterprise headed by a committed racist who explained his views without metaphors or tropes using anti-racism and "oh look, tropes!" as a figleaf.

I think it's up to you to determine what you want to do, but I see most of the "the real difference between great and good {developers, managers}" sort of posts as overconfident and self-promotional. In our (America-centric tech) culture that's soaked in cheerleading and self-promotion, this might work for a lot of people. It doesn't work for me.

I cringe every time I see one of these posts. To be honest, I may even grudgingly bookmark it sometimes. Maybe I should be thinking more about ten ways to become a great developer, not just a good one!

But the truth is that I will probably never read it, and I certainly won't return to it or link it anywhere. I mean, the embarrassment! It's like telling your friend they should read the "10 Ways to Lose Weight Fast" articles in some grocery store checkout line magazine trash.

I'm an old-fashioned craftsperson that prefers either thoughtful and reasonable reflection about things that have worked out; or flat out angry rants about things that haven't.

And maybe this is because...real life works that way too? If you're talking to someone about your successes, you're probably not going "Here's 10 ways to become a great developer. Number 1..." – you're probably incorporating a lot of caveats into your suggestions, and emphasizing the specific context that they are made in. Meanwhile, about failures or things that didn't work out, you're probably going "Oh my god, I need a couple drinks before I can even begin to talk about how [terrible boss] single-handedly sunk our project".

In summary – You do you. But I prefer to read people who write like they talk.

I was under the impression that that "40x" argument" largely speaks to pollution in cities and suburbs. Curious how the rural/urban breakdown relates to that number.
A sizable portion of the Nazi party was very sympathetic to the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine.

Likewise, the Soviet Union was the first nation to recognize Israel and the Russian Jewish community was very important in the creation of Israel. More than 25% of the Jewish colonists came from Russia and other Soviet countries. The same Russia where pogroms were a routine in the XIX century.

Zionism was a pretty convenient idea for a lot of ultra-nationalists that didn't want Jewish people in their countries.
Well, lucky you! ;)
