I think atonality (via serialism) fell out of fashion in the 80s or 90s. For the last few decades the most-played living composers seem to be writing neoromantic and minimalist music. This makes sense, since those are much more listenable than serialism. That doesn't mean there are no atonal bits in the music, but you also hear a lot of actual melodies and strong rhythmic bits.
> The opposite is happening, JS/HTML/CSS are becoming the standard for desktop apps rather than something else replacing them on the web.

Yes, I am predicting that trend will reverse. I'll need to remember to check this comment in 10 years!

> We don't need WASM for this, we already have things like Electron, React Native, and Flutter.

Electron: slow. Flutter: uses Dart, which lots of people don't want to learn or don't like. React Native: yeah this one is pretty good, unless you are just not a huge fan of JS/HTML/CSS/JSX/etc. Or if you want frontend/backend to be in the same language, but don't want the backend to be in JS.

I am betting that programmers will prefer making applications in other popular languages the more it becomes possible, and that the impetus for the big shift will be a big company going that direction.
What do you mean writers do not want for news? Are you sure? Are you aware of Publishers Marketplace?
>I kind of wish they went for the matlab cell array style where a function can return an array, but it just becomes a data structured stored within a single cell.

As a web developer who is increasingly getting into tinkering with embedded systems for fun:

The first step of displaying a test pattern, sending test bytes between devices, etc. is the biggest one, and in my case usually involves finding an open-source program that is capable of doing the thing and butchering it until it only does the thing. Every step after that is incremental, just like any other development.
So now we’re including actual engineers in this perpetual rant against management, now? Is it only engineers whose sole job is to write code given a spec who are valuable? At what level of seniority is a job “useless” or worse?
Imagine that someone asks you to modify a service; so you study the code, make the change, test it, and push it. Now imagine they ask you to update all the docs/wikis to reflect the recent changes, or more realistically you just create another one and store it wherever you feel is appropriate.

In my experience there’s a ~10% chance an up to date piece of easily discoverable documentation exists for any service or component, and there’s a ~90% chance at least one out of date document exists. The later seems much more harmful, like when you realize some PM has been referencing an out of date doc for the last 9 months.
The first composer fully preserved as a recorded artist... sounds radical
Fun fact: Taylor Lorenz's Twitter account is also excluded from the internet archive.
What we all know to be true is your troll status.
I agree with that. Companies like Facebook should have a large org responsible for this problem. My point is that the problem is way more complex than some might think.
If I remember correctly, running a 3080 10GB in PCIe 4.0 yields >5% performance average in gaming benchmarks compared to running it in PCIe 3.0.

You could probably argue that you should just settle and not take the 5%, but when you are buying in at such a price point, you are likely concerned with 5% differences. There are also higher end SKUs such as the 3090Ti where that performance gap is likely larger.

Vanadium redox flow batteries have a decent energy storage density and can scale very well but ultimately it does add to the cost of the energy being produced as opposed to some tech that doesn’t need it.
Jetbrains, hosted email and calendar, health insurance, Netflix sometimes. But mostly Jetbrains.
Agree with your larger point, but prices actually were flat or slightly down in July vs June, which is deflation (they were up year over year, but that’s due to inflation in preceding months).
I had one. My point is that was the finished thing. And it’s appeal to me was that it was free not that it was web based. Freeness required a VC. Was making web based email (if that era standard) a real hard technical challenge that only one dev team could do it?
They've documented various criminals, pedophiles, and rapists, such as child abuser Nick Bate:

https://archive.ph/Kmu6p

They've extensively documented actual alt-right figures such as neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes, who they consider one of their "lolcows." They also followed and recorded the activity of accused rapist Christine (formerly Christopher) Weston Chandler, the original "lolcow", though several users interacted with Chris over the years in ways that may have contributed to his/her decline:

https://lawandcrime.com/crime/sonichu-creator-has-been-arres...

They also discovered and documented Isabella Janke, allegedly the person most responsible for convincing Christine to abuse her mother, among other allegations:

This truth of these allegations will likely come out at at Christine's upcoming trial, assuming enough evidence was preserved. Incidentally, Isabella's father Mike Janke has a professional relationship with Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince:

"The special master at times seemed in disbelief, as when he questioned the engineers over whether any documentation existed for a particular Facebook subsystem. “Someone must have a diagram that says this is where this data is stored,” he said, according to the transcript."

Oh you sweet summer child.
Exactly. So the workaround looks like:

- Make one query with LIMIT of 5%

- If it returns LIMIT rows, do a query with NOT INDEXED

Which is surprising; why not build that into the query planning / execution in the first place?
Yeah, I find the evil "distracting". Call me old fashioned.

Lavoisier's spouse, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie-Anne_Paulze_Lavoisier was also accomplished. She worked in the lab with Antoine, drawing excellent figures and often writing/translating explanation.

My favorite detail about Lavoisier: he used to hang out in the Garden Tuileries with an enormous German lens (the germans were the best lens makers) and use it to ... well, burn things using the sun. This methodology was key to making discoveries of oxidation among other things.
For the hyperbolic version area is the correct counterpart of arc-length. See the wikipedia for a picture. So only "ar-" and "a-" make sense. Blindly using "arc-" is like saying non-invertible matrices are "vertible" because "in-" negates the meaning of a word.
Oh shoot, thanks for letting me know. I'm getting them fixed up right now!
I'll just rewrite this paragraph and it will answer the question for the author:

An experienced engineering manager anticipates the secondary effects of every change, and weighs tradeoffs between a multitude of approaches in solving problems. By continuously modeling software systems, the organization they work for, and customer behavior, the most effective managers readjust their approach to problems daily.

This is a great example of what good engineering managers do because after a certain size of a project, one person can't build while also keeping all the downstream externalities in their head.

But wait! Microservices and self documenting APIs will fix all this right?

Nope - people and process management is as important here as it is on a car assembly line.

To adulterate a quote from James Madison:

If [programmers] were [perfect robots], no [management] would be necessary.
Actions haven't run for me since two official outages ago. Multiple jobs stuck as "Waiting for a runner to pick up this job" for a day.
Of course, the managers don't rely on the ticketing system either, because not enough people are super diligent about updating the tickets.
When I was college shopping, Georgia Tech was near the top of the list for CS. I think it was actually at the top for robotics.
To extend the question: how do you network with them remotely, when you don't live in a city or country with such people at your disposal in your language.
That still seems far more expensive than what tesla pays. 100kwh packs would cost $34,000 and that is NOT what Tesla pays. Replacement (aka likely retail so more expensive than their OEM/component cost) is 13,500$ for a Tesla 100kwhr battery.

I get Tesla has so many investements and supply setup to enable that but... 3x as expensive? From a direct-from-china supplier basically?

It annoys me how much battery costs are still sky high for consumers of batteries for all the different cases (lawnmowers, snow blowers, etc), but it shows how much future cost drops will happen with battery-electric goods in the future as supply continues to be scaled.

200 wh/kg LFP and 140 whk/kg sodium ion (next year in production, allegedly) should make for some huge cost savings to so many applications.

You know, if they passed savings to the consumer. Which is probably a pipe dream.
And no extra agency and no extra authority. I've been in that spot, had the best 4 months of my life (lack of authority was painful). Then 2 clueless managers were hired above me.
If you are in orbit, why land on it at all? Surely there are construction materials and ice only light-minutes away and not so deep down a gravity well. God knows there is nothing else down there of any interest.
This whole Mudge thing is an interesting twist to this caper, but that Kolide article that claimed that this was an indictment of all companies security will be an interesting defense. It seems though that they would have to prove that Twitter lied on an audit or knowingly violated a law right? It doesn’t seem like deprioritizing security would be material in and of itself.
I think a lot here miss the main point of the article.

Managers used to be smarter than their subordinates, so they could steer the work.

With knowledge work, as soon as you turn manager, you're away from the knowledge. That means all of a sudden your subordinates are smarter than you.

So where does that leave the manager? Well, as the article also kind of concludes, the manager is now at the service of the team. Big difference!

Instead of coordinating and guiding the work, the manager now has to make sure the path is clear for the team to do their job. The manager deals with all the bullshit so the team doesn't have to.

This also means that it will be hard for you to notice a great manager, but easy to notice a bad one.
Well, Jane Street paid them to do work they presumably wouldn’t otherwise have done, and that work appears to have made it into OS.

So Jane Street’s profiting from this work is irrelevant, they paid for it and we have it.
Yup, same as the "great resignation" was headline hyperbole for normal job-switching, where the numbers were temporarily skewed by pandemic effects.
If Doom can run on an STM-32, then an Apple Watch CPU seems like a shoo-in.
25 years ago I quit my job to work on non-OS software that I found interesting but also financially rewarding.

Today; in my judgment, I earn way more than I ever would have as an employee (wage slave) or as an OS maintainer (code slave).

The hard times are already upon us and will only be getting worse within our lifetimes. The consensus is that things will be somewhere between really bad and catastrophic by 2100, depending on how much we reduce CO2e emissions and implement mitigation strategies globally[1]. So far, the lack of progress on reducing our dependence on oil and gas globally suggests we're on track for a more catastrophic scenario, i.e. somewhere between RCP4.5 and RCP 8.5 [2].

Also, there are many potential feedback loops that may put us on an irreversible course towards the planet becoming uninhabitable in the future [3]. There is still a lot of scientific debate about when we will hit these feedback loops and how significant they will be. Where you stand on this issue is often what separates the doomer climate scientists that think we're passed these tipping points from the optimist climate scientists that think it's still avoidable or the feedback loops will not be too significant.

Most climate modeling focuses on the years of 2050 and 2100. What happens if we continue to make little progress by 2050 or 2100? As long as CO2e emissions are above net zero, warming will continue, and the effects will continue to get worse. Even if we do level-off CO2e emissions and stabilize at 2°C or 3°C, that temperature and all the extreme events, places that are no longer inhabitable, and lower crop yields that come with it will become the new norm, making life a lot harsher for future generations.

This is a common misconception and it is exactly how "bad people" progress into a role where they aren't a match. It is an entirely different role. Most engineering managers come from an engineering background and rely on the learned experiences of that job in order to be successful.
I'd guess there's a difference between an external audit performed for regulatory of financial reasons, and an audit by the internal legal team because of a pending legal case or regulatory scrutiny.
Countries should start responding to cyberattacks the same as if a black helicopter landed and a team of commandos damaged or stole the equipment. The intention is the same and the effect is the same, so the mechanism isn't important.

Expelling embassy staff is within the range of acceptable responses, so good for Albania here. The vast majority of nation-state cyberattacks get far less response.

> As I already stated, these are not the kind of managers we see in development where your manager is your "boss".

We're talking about the kind of managers software engineers have. Doctors don't have those kind of managers, that's entirely my point.

> Again, this is very insulting to the people working these roles. They are not "subordinate".

They are definitely subordinate in any patient-care scenario. Anyway, I feel like you're missing the point of the analogy, analogies aren't perfect, and you know well what I meant.

If you want to argue lawyers and doctors have managers, fine, give engineers that kind of a manager. IMO, these are subordinate clerical people.
Addiction By Design is one of the very best non fiction books I've read. I highly recomend it to anyone interested in the intersection of tech/ society/ psychology/ capital/ design and a whole bunch of other stuff. It really is fantastic (if occasionally more than a a little bit bleak)
The site was tried not in a court of law but in the court of public opinion. Removing evidence from the one court where it matters, especially as precedent for similar extralegal trials in the future, is harmful to the open web.
> Doxxing is not illegal

This is true, in some jurisdictions, in the same sense that it is true that homicide is not illegal.

Doxxing with particular intent is illegal in those jurisdictions; e. g., California where Penal Code § 653.2 was adopted specifically to address harassment by doxxing.

This human tendency towards obfuscation is encouraged by the need to survive in a capitalist market. If others dont see value in what you do, why should they share the fruits of their own labor? It has resulted in many Rube Goldberg constructs in our world- the health care system, the legal system, the military-industrial complex, office bureaucracy, etc. Silicon valley has its own version and even labeled it - technical debt.

I cant wait for AGI to show us how meaningless we all are. Perhaps when a machine can outvalue all human endeavor, we will be forced to recognize a greater truth and invent a new mode for valuing our existence. Something that values a sense of of goodwill and willingness to help our neighbor. Because his plight might be our own.
Grammar purists consider “correct” to be an absolute non-gradable adjective, I believe - though colloquially have at it and do whatever suits your written voice. I only mentioned it in contrast to the insistence that, er, one should use one rather than them - which to my written voice is a tad too formal.
I know a couple people from Germany doing startups - a couple of them told me they don't bother w/ programs like this because they can get a grant from the government, w/o giving out any equity. Or just bootstrap, since their costs are lower, free healthcare, etc.

They tend look for later stage funding (which is when you realize that the power of YC is actually the credentials. Been there!)
Does it leak? It is a solid state and I guess unlike the nasa liquid one and no senator become the administrator game etc, it is easier. But at least someone has to ask the question. Hence, does it leak?

The other issue is how it compete with lithium battery it also used. May be unlike car …
My feelings are irrelevant to my arguing. No, or at least not unless there was a good reason... More importantly, doxxing isn't illegal and is done by major media and orgs. Not to mention it seems like ~95% of what is being called doxxing here is posting publicly available (usually posted the the person themselves) info.

And in the context of KF, harassment and even interacting is against the rules. Attempting to do anything illegal, making threats or swatting etc are literal instant bans with your info being handed over to law on request.
Same with certifications. (e.g. ISO 900x certification - you can still build a shit product, but it will be a very well documented shit product.)
Then, first and foremost, it is the task of these people to bring down the complexity of the task. You can't reason your way out of legal obligations by throwing your hands up and saying it's too hard.

> 2. Joel Test[1] was 0 out of 12.

Sorry, but then you and your colleges were not senior enough to handle an environment like this. This is not a question of missing management, but also missing (technical) leadership.

While I do not know if it would have solved all your problems, you can make this environment better, without adding a management layer in between.

The unfortunate part is that Threadripper nowadays is OEM only, thus it is very expensive.

You can just switch to EPYC with hardly any difference in price point.
A manager can only add marginal value to your career. ONLY.

You spend 40+ hours a week on you and your career. Your manager spends a small fraction of that directly on your career.

100% agree that they need to be advocating for you/your team, finding the right projects for you/your team, etc, etc. But at the end of the day your career is your responsibility, and it's only a fraction of your manager's responsibility.
Bad devs do not have reports they would have authority over. Bad EMs do.
I think their point is that it's relatively better under another system, not that it's amazing there.
Ideas are easy. Implementations are either hard or expensive.

Converting solar to hydrogen, then to methane, then to electricity requires a pretty big setup. If you want to be efficient, you have to do all that at a large scale with a proper power plant turbine. It will not work well at a scale of one house.
>I don't have much evidence to support this claim

No, but you're going to make the claim anyways, aren't you?

>but as best I can tell Chick-fil-a has far superior food quality than Raising Cane's. Chick-fil-a holds their ingredients & preparation to the same high standard as they do their customer service, whereas Raising Cane's is much more hit-or-miss, a lot more like the McDonalds or Burger Kings out there.

Ah, yep. I can tell you've had some bad experiences with Raising Cane's.

>Raising Cane's makes me sick whenever I get it, whereas Chick-fil-a is extremely well digested for me.

Both of them make me sick! I can't digest either.

>Do you eat a lot of junk food generally in your diet? That could be one reason why maybe your gut bacteria are craving the worse quality food & causing you to not enjoy CFA as much.

I think I have to ask you the same question! Do you eat a lot of low quality fast food? That could be one reason your gut bacteria are craving food from a fast food joint instead of something that isn't deep fried and covered in Polynesian sauce.
Yeah, I dont see how this hydrogen battery is a very good battery.

If they could get anywhere near lithium battery efficiency for a round trip then the breakthrough in fuel cell efficiency (and possibly also electrolyzer efficiency) required to do that would be the headline.

And if they can't, then they'd probably need to be implausibly low cost to make it worthwile, and they don't seem to be that either.

Maybe there's some way of using the waste heat that improves it? Still seems unlikely.

So just an expensive, awkward low efficiency battery, when cheap, commodity, high-efficiency batteries are available.

Dishes are usually the responsibility of the eater where I've worked. All offices have cleaners, but their responsibility should be getting rid of dust and such, not the sink.

Besides, the cleaners are usually there on a schedule, and I think it says something about someone's ego if they can't take half a minute to wash a cup of coffee. It's not like we're deep frying things in the pantry.
That's roughly the size of Jupiter at a distance roughly 7 times that of the moon from Earth. At those distances you could probably see features of the star the same way we see craters on the moon.
If you start with k cans in the fridge, you take one there is now k-1 cans in the fridge, you add back two, according to the rule, there are now k+1 can in the fridge.
