I was really excited a few years ago to finally get to watch B5 -- I could never find it on TV when it was first on. Everyone always said it was better than DS9, which I liked but was not so hard to find.

But what a disappointment -- some actors can act well without direction, some can't, and B5 really shows you with stunning clarity which side of the line the actors are on. On top of frequently stilted dialogue (a JMS soft spot -- his screenwriting book is great but his dialogue examples are terrible) and missed opportunities for humor -- and with those aliens and that dialogue, you'd better take those opportunities if you don't want the audience to take them for you.

The production values have also aged spectacularly poorly, but they probably looked decent on broadcast standard-def TV at the time and it's really not the primary issue.

Which is to say, they can't really do worse than the original with JMS himself showrunning it again. Maybe it'll be a lot better since they have more money/support this time.
Spot on. We've seen this before with Hitler, and we are smarter now.
It's true the situation is different - Putin has nukes - but we have nukes as well, and there are ways to be tough without escalating to using them. This means we do not have to fold just because Hitler has nukes now. We should be as tough as needed to stop the expansion.
Rough order of magnitude calculation, the Earth receives about 1000W/m^2, that's 6370km^2 * pi * 1000W/M2 ~ 1e17W, and according to Wikipedia the global energy use of humanity is 7050 millions tons of oil equivalent per year so 7050 * 11.63TWh / 1year ~ 1e13W. So we have about 4 orders of magnitude of difference here. Does the human heat output make any difference? Probably not.

It does seem to be a reflection of how the world works though. Most promotions risk being promoted to your level of incompetence because they are happenstance. They mostly occur either when you're joining a new company or someone leaves/company is growing which makes room.

Being promoted because you are excelling in your position and taking on responsibilities of the one above is the rarest main reason from what I have seen.
How does a person control/own the domain without someone else taking it? Note that UD is built on chain, not building their own token. For comparison, Helium is a VC scam and the VC needed the HNT token to cash out the money errr the value.

Ideally the solutions is something that enables her to take the meds on her own.

I think my main point is it doesn’t matter if other things do it alright already. There’s a lot of energy behind putting together the whole package in the crypto area.

I’m not saying it will end up working, but I am saying that any critique that tries to say it won’t work because disparate things X, Y and Z exist already is inherently unconvincing because it never comes down to whether some features exist in some form already. It’s always the final packaging, branding, and all sorts of vague appeals and ideals that give energy to something. And crypto, for all the leeches, certainly also has a lot of energy, funding, and smart people, and more than enough of appeals and ideals.

Loss leader isn't the proper term in this case. Think of this akin to the health-scare clips they've been showing in the past few years when talking about the Apple Watch (like today).

Well, let's turn this around. Is C++ spatially memory safe? C++20 has slices (ranges). They're bounds checked, via the .at() method. You can get the integer overflow semantics of Zig with "-fsanitize=signed-integer-overflow -fsanitize=unsigned-integer-overflow -fsanitize=float-cast-overflow". You could write a checker that enforces that only these features are used (in fact, this checker basically exists--ISO Core C++ Guidelines).

I don't see any reason why modern C++ wouldn't be just as spatially memory safe as Zig is, if we're allowed to subset the language in ways more trivial than "disable the unsafe keyword". The main thing that distinguishes Zig at that point would be that it's a simpler language. That's true. But I don't actually think that makes for safer programs, empirically speaking--otherwise, C programs would be safer than C++ programs, and they generally aren't.
MBTI is not a valid psychological test , so comparing it to frenology is not that riddiculus as it may sound.
Yep. Here in California it’s illegal for companies to use such tests in hiring.
Market makers are not necessarily "the pros", they hold a reserved place in stock exchanges. The 'pros' are generally institutional investors (eg: hedge funds).

Market makers make money by offering spreads. EG: fair price of a stock is $1, market makers let you buy that stock at $1.01, and sell for $0.99. Hence, if you buy and sell, while the market maker is paying $1, they make $0.01 on both sides of the trade because they are marking up the price.

In options, the spread can be quite extreme, more than 30% of the price of the underlying (eg: you can buy for $0.60, or sell at $0.20, which means purchasing such an option and you are down by over two thirds out of the gate).
> because .first invokes some machinery. Usually some OOP/FP machinery.

It depends on the language and how you use it. Accessing a member of a C/C++ struct, a final member of a C++ class, Python class with __slots__, etc, is as efficient as a CAR operation. They all give you data that's at a particular place relative to the start your cell/struct/class.
I’ve been on a similar journey. I’m not worried about the official releases, but in recent years I’ve stopped jumping on the public betas. Probably because I rely on my devices more for work since Covid

The CW? Guaranteed to crap. I once got drunk and tried to watch Roswell I think, I couldn't desensitize myself to make it through that. It's almost like they go to filmschool and recruit anyone who gets a D or under to save money on talent. The actors, cinematography, editing, soundtrack how can they manage to mess up everything?

Please change my mind, have they made anything remotely watchable recently? How are they in business?
the tldr seems to be that these streetlights are being presented as automated maintenance systems, but are being used by the police for surveillance. This is worrying, I would definitely support a law that said all government owned audio/video/3d/biometric/etc recording devices must be clearly marked as such. I might also be in favor of the same law for privately owned devices that are recording public areas.

I didn't really read the whole thing though, it was painful, I wouldn't have made it past the first line but I saw that this thread seemed to be bumped by mods. so I assumed it must be for a reason.

For Self referential struct, the typical answer is twofold:

- try to design your code not to need them.

- if you really need one, you can either use smart pointers (Rc & RefCell) or use unsafe and use the Pin API to be sure that you won't accidentally move your struct.

That being said, it's not easier in C (or at least, it's easier to write, but also very easy to misuse), since a memcopy will silently break your self-referential struct. Do Zig has “Copy constructors” like C++ to avoid this issue?
Agreed.

As for the third paragraph: I don't know, this lady deals with dying patients for a living. I'd tend to go with that.
Funnily I thought the exact opposite when I saw it. To me it seemed like making the space a dynamically laid out notification blob area was a great way to handle upcoming cutout shape changes. E.g. maybe the iPhone 16 moves the camera behind the screen and then that hole punch becomes just another slot to arrange notification elements. This leaves largely the same UI model to code against (to Apple and developers) among multiple phones which need to be supported for 5+ years but have different hardware layouts.
Yes, Bridgewater.
I might've ranted at more than one points in the article, but it is what it is.
My favorite resources for "mindfulness":
1. Believe in Jesus
2. Explore contemplative traditions of Hesychasm, Centering Prayer, Hesychasm, Carmelite mystics, etc.

If you attempt to divorce mindfulness meditation from spirituality or even from experience of a transcendent Divinity, you're asking for trouble.
> The use of the word plunge is very much not matter of fact

No. The word has a well defined meaning in an economic context and is used regularly per that definition. You can't get any more matter of fact. If it was something like "Ocean shipping rates have jumped off a cliff without a parachute towards its impending fiery death this year" you'd have a stronger case.

> and connotes that the decrease is faster and/or greater than would normally be expected.

No. It only connotes that it happened quickly. There is no association to expectation colloquially or by definition. A 60% decline in eight months is fast compared to historical norms regardless of whether or not it was expected. That the decline was fast is worthwhile information to communicate.

> Again, nuclear fireball is a perfectly accurate description of the sun

Accurate, but abnormal usage. This is incomparable to the common usage of plunge. A better analogy would be the headline: "Sun to light up San Francisco tomorrow". To "light up" could mean to set on fire. But, given the clear context and regular usage of the words, it's a stretch to think people would be tricked into clicking the link because they think SF will be ablaze.

> "Shipping rates decreased 60% year over year as industry moves past pandemic"

Thing is, had you been compelled to read the article you would have known that shipping rates decreased by more than 73% year over year. Given that the headline didn't compel you to read the article we have further evidence of it not being clickbait.

Fusion covers a lot of different types of processes, some of which release most of their energy in charged particles and photons.

Though you'd need something very different from existing photovoltaics to capture the energy from those x-rays.
Kinda tangential to your actual comment, but you might be interested in this recent episode of the Rational Reminder podcast on "Shared Identities and Decision Making".[1] Even groups more arbitrary than these influence our decision-making, problem-solving, cooperation, etc. It goes beyond who's suited for what job to who's suited to be right about what kind of topic. Wild stuff.

I think there may be typographic concerns to consider in some instances, like when reading articles on the web. I'm a novice in this area, but I feel like there are certain variations of line length + line height (measure/the space between paragraph lines) + font size + paragraph length that affect how willing I am to really read an article in depth vs. just skimming it.

Personally I find myself more likely to read articles with a tight measure, long paragraphs and an average font size (16-18px, even 14px on ScienceDaily works for me) than something with short paragraphs, a large font and lots of space in between paragraph lines. This is a recent realization.
Good to know, I'll keep that in mind for the future. Cheers @NP.

I've had experiences with those who planned and those who didn't and the former is better. My dad planned and so we could spend time doing things he wanted until the very end.

The Apple Watch battery life quote seems misleading due to this: "1. During normal use, Apple Watch Ultra can reach up to 36 hours of battery life with iPhone present."

Normal use WITH an iPhone present. I have a feeling the Apple Watch by itself in GPS mode will be much less.
> is the manager most informed to take the decisions?

Often, yes. Or at least knows who is, and how to put it to them.

Put another way, the domain experts are usually the best people to describe the tradeoffs but often don't have a sufficiently broad view to make the decisions. Obviously this isn't universal - one key skill in engineering management is empowering your team to make all the decisions they can most usefully make, and facilitating their input to the ones they can't.

> As for capabilities, a great manager will present what needs to be done to the team, and the team will decide what effort will be required.

I think this really misses the point. With a great manager, a team will fire on all cylinders; rarely is this true without at least a good one (exceptions made for small, experienced teams in certain circumstances). You are describing more of a project manager "hat", which sometimes is worn by an engineering manager, but need not be.

The Kindle app’s infinite scroll is what finally made me let go of paper books. It’s that good. I get completely immersed. Can’t do it on an e-ink device, only on phone or tablet.

Don’t forget to shut off the progress indicator or location or whatever they call it. Not knowing how far along you are is the other transformative feature of ebooks. In paper books, you always see the end coming.

> Consulting is a social exercise, not an intellectual one

I'm beginning to realize that work in general is mostly a social exercise, not an intellectual one.
I’d love to see a thorough breakdown of what that opposing stance is. How is medicine, a service that is non-negotiable (e.g. you can die without it) in a position to work without problems in a completely free market? I’m any free market, you vote with your wallet, but that’s impossible if you don’t have time to switch providers or if forces outside of the free market dictate price?

I’d love for us to just say “let the market sort it out”, but that generally requires presumptions that aren’t universally true for all goods or services.

> 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?

Well, its not just a name change, but generally Yes.

The biggest thing is from the Org Hierarchy perspective. I want to preface what I'm about to say to be perfectly clear: This is not true in every company.

EMs have the final say on resourcing for code-related tasks; but poor understanding of the code, systems, etc because the Lead/Senior devs live there. EMs have the final say on product decisions from PO/PMs under them; but a poor understanding of the product because the PO/PMs/etc breathe that. EMs have the final say on designs; but a poor understanding of UX because the designers have that.

The best EMs always have some background in one of the roles I outlined above. They come from an IC background, they were due a promotion, burned out in the IC role, ran out of promotions in the IC track, whatever.

But in many situations the role of an EM becomes a mediocre mashup where the one thing they're actually good at is navigating the politics of org hierarchies; or if you want to be Business Proper, call it Communication. Ask any high school guidance councilor where "Communications" lands on the list of Valuable College Degrees and you'll get a pretty consistent answer. But: EMs somehow escaped this destiny, because tech has a weird distortion field on incomes right now.

Here's the sinister part: Because EMs hold power over everyone who reports to them, its common to see turf wars over responsibilities. Example: "We don't need to hire for a PM, I'm doing that". That's why it isn't just a simple name change; its their fundamental place in an org hierarchy that can make the role a net drag on an organization. Orgs hire them without a tactile definition on the responsibilities of the role [1]; just extrapolate "manage the engineers" to three paragraphs and call it good. You'll do roadmap planning (in collaboration with senior leadership and the PMs). You'll help prioritize incoming work from different stakeholders (in collaboration with the PMs, Customers, and Engineers). You'll help build the team (in collaboration with Recruiting). You'll mentor the engineers (but, we don't require any engineering background, so how you'll do this well is anyone's guess).

The role doesn't actually DO anything valuable; again, at best, the person has IC experience and can carve out a niche that's a hybrid of that IC experience and more coordination/communication. But at average, they're a message bus that attends meetings and parrots messages from someone that actually matters to someone else that actually matters [2].
