Sure, but I guess my point is that it's not clear that going against the wishes of your employer is what's morally right.
By what measure? Don’t we have the strongest, most productive economy in human history?

What exactly is the problem, and what is your proposed fix?
The problem is you can't get there without out-of-the-box support.
Yes! SW renderer was one of the reasons I chose that! :-)
Also, source code for id tech games is so well written, architected and highly readable.
> 95% effective at preventing covid [sic]

SARS-CoV-2 and COVID are not the same thing. All of the main media outlets reporting on this were pretty clear that 95% was prevention of severe symptoms and death.

> It still says the indication is to prevent covid, not reduce symptoms

Again, we need to focus on SARS-CoV-2 vs. COVID here. Getting "COVID" implies you A) were exposed to the virus and it entered your body and B) it is causing symptoms. Preventing COVID is not synonymous with preventing infection by SARS-CoV-2.

I think this has been a particularly confusing point for most because the traditional battery of vaccines we all get as kids generally do prevent the actual disease, and that has led to much misinterpretation as far as I can tell.
Seems like they admit that R is a dead end? Has its problems but they are fixable. But who will fix them?
You shouldn't, unless the speed of your Python/Go programs is an issue. Zig is a C-like language.
Will there be a beta or early adopter version for people to provide feedback and will it have a security/privacy bug bounty program from day 1?
Yes, I mean something like Cargo vs apt.

If you depend on libcurl, you count that as 1 (one) dependency. Nice, and restrained.

But curl has everything from gopher, FTP to SMTP and IMAP! It has a half a dozen TLS libraries, SSH, auth methods, multiple compression algorithms, socks proxies, etc, It's a lot of code, and a lot of transitive dependencies that you don't even think about.

OTOH when you add `reqwest` in Cargo, Cargo will visibly fetch everything needed to build it from scratch, and it will look like 140 dependencies, not 1. But in total it's still only a subset of what libcurl contains. There's no Samba or POP3. It's just a very detailed list showing you it contains mundane things like a CLI arg parser and base64 encoder, and a wrapper for ca-certificates too.

Please don't interpret it as a criticism of curl. It's just to contrast that you may see libcurl as 1 dependency, because it's one precompiled package, but you may see a smaller amount of code as extravagantly bloated shocking 140 dependencies, because it's just been split into tiny pieces and rubbed in your face.
The key that I think makes all the difference is to treat moving to management as not a promotion, but just a change to a different career track. Same as if the person went into design or any other non-engineering role.

Who cares what Chomsky thinks. He’s a genocide denier (Bosnia & Cambodia)and blames the US (via NATO expansion) for the invasion of Ukraine. Let’s be real, no one forces Iran to fund terrorists who murder innocents, to seek weapons of mass destruction, to execute gay rights activists or any of the other myriad of horrors this government have chosen to commit. Why is it when shitty countries are “Surrounded” by enemies all their evil is excused, yet any measure to contain them is seen as tyrannical. Would you have defended apartheid South Africa for building nukes? They were surrounded by hostile nations and faced foreign funded fighters. Would you applaud their forces?
You do of course realize that an entire country and a single dissident group are not the same entity, yes?

Attacking and effectively shutting down Albania's public electronic services, or any country's public electronic services, is a very low blow that's uncalled for.

Can we please not normalize extremism?

The quintessential example is railroads, but also most utility providers (electricity, water, natural gas). Toll Roads / Bridges (often the substitutes are not good alternatives). Telecoms (to a lesser degree and declining thanks to the entry of new substitutes).
Sure maybe she'll lose in court but if your motion to dismiss is based on the idea that you can categorized something as fictional and claim whatever you want you're going to have that motion denied.

The court didn't say she'd win they only said that they're not 100% sure she'd lose and so allowed the lawsuit to remain. Netflix then decided to settle.

Even a tidally locked body can still liberate (as the moon does) so the terminator would at least move around over some fraction of the surface. Maybe together with a dense atmosphere that could be enough to redistribute the heat and keep the dark side from freezing out the gases?
Thanks, this is the take I was looking for. It would be great if Unreal Engine could be ported to Zig and then I would be happy to get into it again.
What bothers me about any principle related to work is that work itself is so very contextual.

- The same work can be exciting or traumatic depending on whether it's a task you set yourself or got roped into by some other entity. A CEO can easily be less stressed than a low-level employee despite having tasks of greater responsibility and magnitude (see Whitehall study for instance)

- The adjustment of interest in the same exact task can occur in an instant, as soon as you become aware of the new context, and regardless of whether there's any material change e.g. learning that you are underpaid compared to your coworkers, or having someone tell you to do the chores you were going to do anyway, or if someone tells you they set out the task for you because they think you are the only person competent enough for it

- It's far easier for talented people like Witty or Weil to find self-actualization, because the range of tasks they can try out to satisfying effect is vaster and more compressed in time. Furthermore, they are more adept at lacing their actions with mental or aesthetic qualities such as philosophical statements, which makes rationalization easier.

- Work is becoming more virtualized and hard to pin down, especially in the digital space. Imagine describing to Witty a person whose specialty is to find vulnerabilities in Instagram's network protocols to be able to make enough queries to catch juicy usernames, which will in turn be sold to third parties optimize the sale of a virtual deed of ownership of a virtual picture of an ape. He's smart and would probably get the idea quickly, but still...
I don't agree. There is a good line in the book "Impro" about good and bad teachers. It says that we think of "good teachers" as providing a lot of some substance called "education" while "bad teachers" provide only a little. In fact bad teachers can and often do not only fail to provide education but actively make students less educated by, for instance, teaching wrong ideas, punishing arbitrarily, etc etc. The same is true of managers. They can easily drop below zero and start to have a negative impact on productivity and their employees.

> If you care about the products you buy, and they have actual value to you, you're harming your own interests by using the Amazon monopoly power to "impose consumer will on merchants."

Most merchants don’t, and won’t, which is why regulators step in on the customers’ behalf, with e.g. lemon laws, right to return laws.

Costco, Amazon, Apple, some others, step in on the consumers’ behalf, which creates (as comments you are replying to) consumer loyalty and a kind of “brand halo” of consumer trust that the merchants all benefit from.

To say the marketplace platform shouldn’t be allowed to empower customers at the expense of sellers is to say markets shouldn’t be allowed to decide how much service customers can have and how much profits merchants are willing to forgo to be where customers want.

Apple Event – September 7 [video]
Interesting to see that Albania had enough courage (for all the wrong reasons, but courage nonetheless) to leave the Warsaw Pact in the ‘60s and to end its alliance with the Soviets next door, while right now it plays as baby-sitter at the request of a democratic hegemonic power from a half a world away, no questions asked.
If we consider the idea of "free speech FOR x" then is it really free speech for nobody? Most people can do anything they want with it.
> Who cares about mission statements and inclusivity, secure funding and pay developers to make the tools.

These are connected things.

I maintain a PyPA member project (and contribute to many others), and the latter is aided by the former: the mission statement keeps the community organized around shared goals (such as standardizing Python's packaging tooling), and inclusivity insures a healthy and steady flow of new contributors (and potential corporate funding sources).
surely not just in nevada?
I was inclined to agree with you, but then I read the article and saw it was by Alex Ross. So I think the headline was mostly clickbait: he's a guy who's expected to despise "old" music like Rachmaninoff, and he's reporting on other people at the Festival who sorta do. But he's being fairly objective about it.
The Oculus quest gives a lot of black smear, eventually they mitigated this by just never going to full black. SDE mitigating nausea is just not true, where did you read that?
Strongly agree.

Anyone who's worked in private orgs of comparable sizes can attest to their horrendous inefficiencies and waste. The idea that somehow the private sector is inherently more productive or efficient is simply not bourne out in practice. But it _sounds_ like it ought to be true so the idea won't die. And we're all worse off as a result.
That's only if the government instructed them to do it. If PayPal made the decision themselves, it's up to them.

Bait and switch?

They will be free to continue using the version of Akka they currently use. If there was ever any assumption of future free versions, without remuneration, that was misguided. Akka could have been abandoned at any moment.

If management blamed me for the company blissfully reaping the benefits of open source, I would be glad to work elsewhere. The customers of Akka have gotten exactly as much as they have paid for.
I think we can all (mostly?) agree that most of what's called software engineering doesn't live up to the standards (including responsibilities of the developers/engineers) of the other formalised engineering disciplines.
See my response in a sibling thread for a partial list of industries conducive to natural monopolies. Governments have had to step in to regulate each of these industries to varying degrees to rein in their power because of the fact that the industries tended toward monopoly.
>it takes time away from the team for the manager to function.

I think a more accurate take is that it can "drain resources" from the individual to provide a net positive impact to the team (ideally). The problem with a lot of the cynical takes here is they appear to be only considering the perspective of the individual.

It's like the idea that if somebody stops by my office to ask a question; it's great for them to get an answer, but a detriment to me because it interrupts my work. If all I cared about was personal productivity, I would lock my door but the overall team productivity would likely suffer. A good manager puts together a system/culture that balances all those competing goals to the betterment of the team.
Microsoft and Grafana Labs invest $40M in Isovalent
Interesting idea! Watch does not have system browser, there is kinda something like web view (I think) and also some browsers exist on App store, but integrating this with digital crown and gyro would be far harder.

Also debugging would be pain.

And most importantly, performance would be IMHO terrible.

I haven't even though about using WASM, I prefer native code as much as possible. But WASM is actually cool technology in my book :-)
It's a shame this technology is used to deceive sincerity rather than just show off how advanced technology has become. Imagine an art house selling the "mass-produced" type of pieces you decorate hallways and hotels with, except they have a robot front and center in which you can watch the robot create your painting in real time!
My question had nothing to do with morality (which is subjective, of course) but with legality. So I'm not sure what you're getting at.
Yes and my org has lots of "solid devs" or whatever you want to call them, that ship useful software, and don't get dev ops. I guess they are dumb
> It’s a very appealing language to the modern low-end (and not only) applications

Current $work language is Go, which is so painful to use. I often look wistfully at all of Zig's features that improve on what Go does (particularly with regard to error handling). I hope in the future I can use Zig as a Go replacement and not just a C/C++ replacement.
It's as backwards compatible as any other fat extension done so far.

For example, LFN fails if you create too many files with the same first 6 letters :)

I'm actually honestly not sure why representing all legal FAT32 file structures is a particularly useful goal?

FAT in particular, in all of it's forms, has always had limitations and weirdness in filenames, etc.
Best advice: Be very aware of what you are paying for, how much you're using it, and WHY. I used to sell for the largest AWS services provider, and most companies with out-of-control cloud spending slipped into the slough of cloud despond by using services that seemed cheap in development, but ate their face at scale.

Storage is a big one: S3 is not nearly as cheap as you think - but there are alternatives, both inside and outside the AWS ecosystem. The big gotchas (for any cloud, not just AWS) are relying on the cloud services - these make development MUCH easier, but are a lock-in every bit as serious as the old mainframe lock-ins of the 60s and 70s. If you rely on very many cloud services (especially the nice easy, high leverage ones, unfortunately), your prices can not only skyrocket, but your switching costs may be so high as to be impossible.
Sure, but the Venn diagram of those "lucky folks" and the people on this site has unusually high overlap.

It doesn't hurt to remind some of the stressed out and overworked among us that living below one's tech-industry means can pay off in work satisfaction, even if it means foregoing some more immediate pleasures.
Or they could save a TON of time and money by abolishing the income tax and going to a direct, national sales tax.

Oh nice, I must have missed this. Motherboard prices are leaving something to be desired (lowest price is $900), but still, this is good news.

Edit: On second glance, the markup compared to last-gen Threadripper is gnarly. 24 core SKU MSRP is $2.4k, compared to the 3000 series SKU which MSRP for $1.4k.

At that point just go EPYC.

There are category category errors being committed on all sides. The confusion is arising from the word "type". To some, a "type" of beer is a style of beer characterised by common ingredients, methods and appearance. To others a "type" of beer may be as loosely defined as simply the kind of container it is stored in (can, bottle, draught).

Presumably when the infrastructure needs to be replaced local governments will finance with bonds (which I think makes a lot of sense). If the bonds are paid for by suburban taxes, do you think the suburbs will get to be as expensive as the city or maybe even more expensive?

The Strong Towns ideology is attractive (especially for northern US cities), but I think if self driving cars come into existence, the ideas might not get very far in most places. Self driving cars are going to encourage sprawl like no other force ever has. I know I'd move further out if I had a self-driving car.
This is one of the reasons why I don't quite like Node. It feels like everything is a dependency.

It seems ridiculous to me that there isn't a native method for something as simple and ubiquitous as putting a thread to sleep, or that there is an external library (underscore) that provides 100+ methods that seem to be staples in any modern language.

Python is nice in that way. It is also opinionated in a cohesive and community driven manner, e.g. PEP8.

I am aware of that. But even that feature is weak. To judge how democratic an institution is you must look at all features or characteristics of an institution. The appointment of its board of governors isn't the only democratic feature we should care about. The federal reserve has weak accountability, lack of citizen participation, lack of transparency, lack of representation, etc.

The thing about operator overloading is that it was abused during one of the worst era of C++.

And vec2 + vec2 can probably be unambiguously translated to assembly code while mat4 * mat4 is an other story. In most cases it should be a function call, and not a trivial one, with SIMD it can be relatively fast but still several orders of magnitude slower than 1 + 1. (we're talking about more than 500 scalar-equivalent operations)

And unfortunately, from my experience, if you let people (especially new coders) use this kind of powerful syntactic sugar they tend to ignore the performance characteristics because it look so simple and basic, like if the CPU had a special instruction to multiply two 4x4 matrices.

I prefer when the function call is explicit, it is a bit more cumbersome to write, but there is less hidden complexity.
How is Google not a monopoly? Their nearest competitor is probably 10 times smaller.
I can definitely say from personal experience that metabolism plays a big factor. Until about 25 I never really struggled with weight. Sure I packed on the pounds when I started college (went from being on the swim team and working at Wendy's, so highly active, to doing nothing for exercise and working as a security guard watching cameras), but once I realized what was happening and applied a little discipline it came off easily and stayed off.

Then, well, something happened with my thyroid. Best guess is some kind of infection. I was already at a healthy weight, but lost 20 pounds over a few months. Tests showed my thyroid was producing WAY too much hormone and we were about to oblate it and put me on thyroid replacement hormone when the levels returned to normal on their own. Ever since then however I've struggled with my weight despite eating healthier than ever before. Unfortunately I never had cause to have my thyroid checked before this incident, so I have no way of knowing how my "normal" levels pre-infection compare to my new "normal" levels post infection.

Yes calories in vs calories out may be the literal physics of the situation, but the details of that equation can be very different for different people.
A few (probably naive) thoughts:

- I will be excited to see if a new jvm actor system emerges as a competitor. Or perhaps a fork.

- I would be excited to see more consideration given to Elixir and OTP, where previously Akka may have been favored.

That’s not irony. That’s someone with no domain expertise saying something and then someone with domain expertise refuting it.

I’m also not an EM, though I have been one in the past.

I don’t understand your point about PMs. You’re saying that the responsibilities of an EM should be that of a PM. So you’re just arguing for a name change? Or something else?
