I find the mention of a series A fundraising round at the top interesting too. Do the funders really expect something other than an escalating technical arms race that eventually outpaces them?

Applying Mental Models to Building Digital Products
You both make good points.

Striving for perfection is a toxic habit (not just to your team, but to yourself too). However, there's also a category of people that write sloppy/unthoughtful code at the expense of their colleagues. Often times this is just due to inexperience, and we should reach out with advice and mentorship, but also have patience with their pace of improvement.

However, there's also a subset of people who abuse this compassion to get away with being sloppy intentionally (ie lazy). We should be mindful that these people exist, as they also create resentment/contempt, which also creates a toxic work environment.
Where are all the mouthy cryptocurrency detractors?!
It's a shame it's not on a Xilinx FPGA. I am out.
You can write down an equation for evaluating a ray-traced picture with perfect mathematical precision, you just cannot evaluate the integral for any scene that is non-trivial. MC is the integration technique for it.

Edit: so you know exactly what you get, if you keep it simple - the gotchas start if you try to be clever and use fewer samples (biased MC)
I mentioned this on another thread, but it's work repeating here.

The acceptance of the term "Quiet Quitting" tells us a lot about how we currently view the relationship between labor and management.

Somehow we have accepted that showing up when you are supposed to and doing the tasks you are required to is not "doing your job" but rather "quiet quitting".

It does not seem that these people are goldbricking or maliciously complying or really doing anything wrong at all. They are just doing their jobs. Not going above and beyond may be a bad career move, but it's not "quitting" or somehow stealing from your employer.
This is a great question and one which is quite difficult to answer.

One place to start on the difficulties is an excellent paper by Lewis and Rao from the Quarterly Journal of Economics in 2015. The original title was something like: “on the impossibility of measuring the returns to advertising.” Just getting enough data to reject the hypothesis “this ad campaign did nothing” is extremely challenging. Lewis is a great producer of research on this topic and has written papers based on his experience at Yahoo.

Another great paper is by Blake, Nosko and Tadelis from Econométrica in… 2014? They turned off all of eBay’s keyword search ads in some markets as an experiment. They found that they maintained about 95%+ of their business while saving $50 eBay million dollars or so.

Beware confident assertions from people in the ad industry that ads clearly work. It is not so obvious that they do. This isn’t to say they don’t work! But it’s a challenging scientific question.
I'd call it clickbait since its actual nature is not revealed til the very end.

I agree with you, proprietary software is a thing of the past

If it's not open and opensource, it is dead on arrival
Ok, but it works for the wrong reasons.

I.e., people buy stuff they wouldn't buy if they got honest information.

It works against the main argument in favor of the free market: not the best product wins, but the one with the biggest advertising budget.
You didn’t disagree with anything I said...

I never said this isn’t a fun tricky-but-not-too-tricky one-off puzzle for out-of-practice adult puzzle solvers. (It has one key trick that someone who doesn’t do very many puzzles might take a while to figure out.) I only said it was pretty easy for me personally.

I further claimed that if you want to train complete novices (I am thinking of my 6 year old here, or his less experienced 6-year-old friends) to solve very hard variants of this puzzle, you should start with easy puzzles and introduce one new trick at a time. If your goal is not to train novices to solve hard puzzles, then feel free to disregard this advice.

There are some fun harder tricks that you can throw into this genre of puzzle (not included in this particular example) that if you tried presenting to my 6 year old would completely stump him. But after working his way up methodically he could be taught to notice and solve them.
I do both.

Fiction: almost exclusively ebook. Sometimes there's a special edition that is hard cover and has pages that feel nicely in your hand. I'll buy that. The experience becomes more than just words. In general if it is just words read in order no flipping back and forth, just read the story ebook works really well. You get to read at a comfortable font size, don't have to keep the book open(cheaply made paperbacks can be annoying, imagine reading war and peace or atlas shrugged), don't have to worry about a book mark. It estimates for you how much time left in the chapter. It's rather nice.

Coding: Almost exclusively physical. Code listing don't work that well on a kindle, or iPad. It's nice to read a little bit, go look at the code, read a little more. ebooks suck for this.

Recipe books, reference material, also physical. flipping through an ebook doesn't always work well.

Non-fiction: Mixed. For expediency e-books. To serve as a reminder to read, physical books. If I just read a topic, want to read more on that same topic I'd rather not loose momentum and go straight to an ebook. If I'm traveling, I also prefer an ebook, extra weight to carry isn't always great. A physical book is an object though and experience and sometimes that can be helpful.

Hey boss, do you know that Jim is leaving? The backend dev, yeah him. I know, it'll be a devil to backfill his role. If only we had some sort resilience built in to allow us to bring in more team members to cover situations like this. We can afford it after all. And we don't want to stop printing all that money just because someone leaves. Tell you what, let me work on a plan, yeah, let me think about how we make the code easier to learn, maybe easier to test too so the new guy doesn't break anything while he's learning the ropes. Sure, no problem boss.
I've been burned by this in the past (also for Italian, but also Japanese).

Do you find this issue persists even if you attempt to search the Italian internet for definitions/usage examples in Italian?

Or is this problem specific to finding information in English about Italian terms?

The difference here is between an n problem and an n^2 problem (if the site expands and wants to accumulate definitions from each language/dialect to ~several supported major languages, for example).

Anecdotally, I've found that once I got to the point where I could read Italian well enough to use Italian dictionaries when I don't understand the word, finding the information on the Italian internet has been much easier. Of course, certainly there have been dialect words and slang I haven't found (which I attribute to some of the words being in a dialect mostly spoken by older Italians who don't use the internet).
When you're starting from scratch, designing for multiple threads is relatively easy. When you're iterating on a previous design or your best practices from previous projects, it becomes very hard, because you need to move/refactor/redesign/reimplement a lot of code.

On top of that, you need to test it, which means it's much more time consuming.
You can reform the Ad industry in several ways (enhancing "truth in advertisment")

i) You can only use factual information.

ii) You can't use visual props unrelated to the product (sexy women, beaches, fancy cars, spas)

But to burn advertisements due to shortcomings is like hating/shutting down internet because of 4chan or QAnon
These stupid geo-engineering 'solutions' are a disaster waiting to happen. Morons.
It would indeed seem so, since the suggested cutoff of 25M/month that would supposedly include Gab and Parler was rejected.

You would think that the judges would realize that it's in their best interest if they want this to stick to throw their political opponents a bone, but... nope ?
When you "see it" and if you not going just by cheapest price, one of the things you might go by is "familiarity" (for products in the same space that are similarly priced). That "familiarity" which introduces a sense of "maybe it's good" because you've seen it mentioned many times is sometimes introduced by the advertising of the product you constantly see as you go around the Internet. All that happens prior to you actually buying the product.
In Canada, with sales taxes varing from 5% to 15% by province, we round to the nearest nickel on cash transactions. Non-cash transactions are rounded to the nearest penny as usual. Works fine IMO.

Note that the rounding is to the nearest nickel, neither up nor down. So it favours neither buyer nor seller; it all nets out about the same for all in the end.

We stopped minting pennies 10 years ago. They're still legal tender but rare to see since there's no need with 5-cent cash rounding conventions now. There were brief popular grumblings and misplaced arithmetic anxiety leading up to the death of the penny. I expect the same when we bury the nickel and I bet few will miss it either when its time comes. And then the dime.

Of course one can construct amusing temporary edge cases or arbitrage opportunities when buying specific quantities of specifically priced items in the presence of any new rounding rules. The market will respond.
How is the multi monitor story? Especially when the resolutions or refresh rates do not match?
Would be great to show only enough items per page so that the browser page doesn't need to scroll and only use the 'More' link.
Nice. Sometimes I wonder why we don’t go full circle and bring back gopher. Your filing structure brought that idea back.
True, though in this case as well, just replacing type first to type last would presumably lead to `y *X` which doesn't help so much in resolving ambiguity.
I bought a kindle tor that very reason. I think it’s worth it since you can’t really get distracted on that
I think you’re the one who’s not following the thread you’re responding to here. Why don’t you look at the post I immediately responded to - the author mentioned a more specific scenario than the post you quoted.
No one in hft space runs with smt enabled
Well yeah, because everything except Android Auto and CarPlay are garbage. I think it’s very possible that if a not garbage entrant not affiliated with an existing mobile OS but also not tied to particular manufacturers popped up it might sway people. The tie in with the OS might not end up being that important, Spotify is bigger than Apple Music and YT Music after all so platforms don’t have infinite lock-in power.
This link shows a blank page with red text “Sorry, you need to enable JavaScript to visit this website.” But when I scroll on mobile, a little extra space appears due to the url bar scrolling out of view, and in that space, I can see a glimpse of the full article itself rendering just fine, only it's unusable because of this anti-disable-Javascript overlay blocking the view :(
Seems obvious. I agree. However I think you're not going to get through to those with central planning biases. By which I mean, the notion that perfect planning can beat the market.

The Palace Economy central planner says, "give me wheat." The Soviet central planner says, "more steel comrades." The American style technocrat planner says, "we will tell you what you want and then deny market alternatives."

I think there's no reasoning with these people
The 3x more likely study was troubling. If I read correctly, 11% of darker-skinned patients reading 92-96% were below 88% when measured arterially, compared to about 4% of lighter-skinned patients. The conventional wisdom I’ve heard is to subtract 3-5% for dark skin when the reading is below 90%, and that wouldn’t be sufficient.
I haven't researched it heavily, but wasn't that also true for the 2nd amendment? I doubt all the folks that ratified it agreed on its meaning.
Almost nothing can save a phrase that's 100+ words long[1], no matter who you are.

Doesn't this leave some performance on the table? Each core has more ports than a single thread could reasonably use, exactly because two threads can run on a single core
Pardon my French, but what the actual fuck?
At that point why not just plainly run kubelet as init 1? Add whatever is required (mainly initial network and storage config), why add the management layer on top of it at all ?

Like, it appears to target doing same thing systemd does but with different APIs which is like... okay ? Sure, some consistency on one side, on other it is now entirely dissimilar from anything that looks like normal Linux userspace.
When was that „PC-first era”?
Long-term infrastructure planning is a concept that the US government and business world has fundamentally failed to embrace. The 'dead pool' fate of Glen Canyon's hydroelctric power generation system has been known for a decade or more. For example, see this from 2010:

https://orionmagazine.org/article/calamity-on-the-colorado/

> "Many scientists predict that within two decades, rising demand for Colorado River water and falling supply will drop the surface of the reservoir to its lowest level, known as “dead pool.” Because the lowest exit from the dam (the river outlet works) is 237 feet above the original riverbed, at dead pool Lake Powell will still hold 2 million acre-feet of water, one-thirteenth of capacity... With demand rising and supply falling, Lake Powell could reach dead pool in the 2020s. Impossible? Hardly. Between 1999 and 2005, the reservoir lost two-thirds of its volume and neared the elevation of its generator intakes, 333 feet above the riverbed. Another two or three years at the same rate of decline and Lake Powell would already be at dead pool."

There could have been a coordinated effort to install photovoltaic power across the Southwest to fill the expected power generation gap - the region is pretty ideal for solar power - but that would have meant a steep drop in profits for the regional coal- and natural gas-based power producers (whose activities are driving the temperature rise, resulting in less runoff reaching the Colorado River, and so on).
To Cal's credit, he has somewhat done this. He has a playlist on YouTube [1] which covers 90% of the lessons and it's pretty short. There is a lot more material sure but it's mainly focused on smoothing out that last 10% and can easily be skipped.

I even have a separate chromecast connected to my Sony tv. The builtin doesn't appear until the TV has booted up and is nicely ready for use. While the original chrome cast ultra I can reach no matter what, and casting to it starts the TV up.
Unknown Unknowns.

How would you let people people know that they may be prone to cancer?

How can you inform the world population that there exists coursera that teaches you skills on any imaginable subject that may change their lives?

Most people aren't looking for those categories of information.
Like the OP, I’ve employed a custom configuration in Cloudflare which detects (and blocks) browsers which claim to be Googlebot but don’t originate from Google’s approved Googlebot IP ranges.

The vast majority of such requests are dodgy scanning operations likely looking for email addresses or exploitable forms.
But that is adverting in general. We have billboards, tv ads, paper ads, product placements. You have no clue how many people will buy because of these ads. But you burn your cash anyway.
Just wanted to point out that rendering right before vblank has been in Weston (the Wayland reference compositor) for at least 6 years now.

Even if Wayland was never fully adopted, I'm thankful for the work that was done to allow usage of GPUs outside of X11...

“When you ask your question, display the fact that you have done these things first; this will help establish that you're not being a lazy sponge and wasting people's time. Better yet, display what you have learned from doing these things. We like answering questions for people who have demonstrated they can learn from the answers.”

Also, knowing what you know and don’t know may make helping you a lot easier, thus increasing the possibility that you’ll get an answer that helps you.

In particular, if you did “Try to find an answer by searching the Web.”, did you find https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_versus_NP_problem? If so, what’s insufficient for you in that?

If you have mixed resolution, mix refresh rate, and mixed DPI setups, anything Wayland native will be just fine. XWayland can still have some quirks, but I'm not sure if that's an easily solvable problem (or at all).

Though I don't have HiDPI displays, I have a triple monitor setup with NVIDIA (2x 1920x1200@75Hz~96ppi and 1x 2560x1440@60Hz~108ppi) and though I use Xorg due to some specific applications, the Wayland session is completely usable and fine otherwise for 99% of my use cases. I actually wish I could use it full time.

My brother recently told me that Austrian economics is well known to be a dead end and that no one takes it seriously anymore. I’m curious if that’s really a generally held view among modern economists.

It does seem to me the Austrian theories had decent predictive power when it comes to the boom / bust cycles and inflation baked into the current monetary systems.
I would (also) say that this is a classic planning problem. It's deterministic, observable, static, and discrete.
Considered it. Iirc, it doesn't have a backlight, as the reading part was more important than the writing part, the choice was easily made.

I remember remarkable saying the extra layer needed for the backlight would be detrimental for the writing experience.
> This technique is much faster than writing out capital letters, or typing letters as they would be written by a printer or printing press.

If you forced yourself to write using the "printer font" 100% of the time (we literally call this "printing"), you'd get a lot faster at it. It won't ever be quite as fast as your loop writing / cursive, but the margin would narrow substantially.
I'm not sure I'd be comfortable, calling it "disgusting."

It's different from the one I tend to apply, in my own work.

I used to work for a famous Japanese imaging corporation. Their brand was pretty much synonymous with "Quality."

They got that way, by practicing Perfection as a religion. It could be very, very tough, to deal with, but it gave me a great appreciation for a Quality mindset, in my own work.

The result is that even my lash-up, throwaway code, tends to be better than many folks' final release code.

This has great advantages for me. In fact, I just experienced one, a few minutes ago. If the baseline code is of as high Quality as I can possibly make it, then I can avoid lash-ups, or at least, reduce their severity, later. I refactored a fairly complex server interaction timeline, and it was made much easier, because I was pretty damn anal, when I first wrote it, maybe six months ago.
In a previous project I worked on, we used to nickname the passwords used throughout the system. The password re-use was virtually non-existent, but sometimes we forgot which system required which one (we were installing and erasing a lot of servers for testing stuff).

So, someone would ask a password to a system, we'd answer "ridiculously long one", or "the one X came up with", "variation 5".

When one of the security guys overheard what we did, and asked the details, we told what we do. The answer was "oh, that's neat!, go on".
Adding heated grips to a BMW F 850 GS is only possible by adding the "Active" package, which comes at 445 Euro. That also includes new driving modes and a baseplate for luggage, to be fair.

Nevertheless there's a hefty price tag for adding anything, before even buying/building the bike. If I was a motorbike company I'd not cut my margin on things like these.
"Lots of places have been using RCV for some time. It is not hard to understand."

Then why do so many of its proponents misunderstand it?
I took off my rose tinted glasses after getting to this part of the narrative:

“Then Kevin discovered the wealth of information in county property and tax records, including the concept of “lawyers’ liens.” A lawyer who is owed money from a client can put a lien on the client’s property to get paid when the land is sold, just like a tax lien. And lawyers’ liens can be bought and sold. Kevin found one such lien languishing in the Iron County property records and bought it for half the value from the lawyer who had forgotten it was there. Kevin doubled his money when the property sold within a few weeks.”

The hand waved details of this purchase and sale illuminated the authors intentional bias for me.
I suspect it's a specificity thing to override federal law that would allow such redirection of funds as described without an explicit law.
If 4chan and QAnon were the vast majority of the internet, I would agree with the comparison.

But as I said, the vast vast majority of advertising by any measure you chose to use is of the manipulative kind, not informative. And this despite the existence of truth-in-advertising laws for decades.

And banning advertising is not even that harmful to industry - we have the case study of the tabacco industry, which didn't exactly die away once advertising of all of its products was entirely prohibited in all wealthy countries.
750M$ dollars and the best they can come up with is Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles cringe fight scene choreography.

Also those "sad dramatic slow motion death scenes" of those elf character dying were peak stupidity: we don't even care about them since they had 30 seconds of screen time and you give us slow motion sad dramatic scenes as if Frodo himself would deserve on his hypotethical death...
Just checked my Sony Android TV from 2019 and found it is drawing 16W while turned off. Turning off the Chromecast built-in service, the remote start service, and enabling Eco mode did not seem to make a difference.

I already disliked this TV and was unlikely to buy another from Sony (for example occasionally it will “crash” while in standby mode and stop responding to any input, requiring me to unplug it and plug it back in). But learning this further damages my opinion of both Sony and Google.
Yes, and as I said, the number of puzzle states is the number of nodes in the pictured graph, cubed. There is some relation between the two graphs, but they aren’t the same, and the pictured graph doesn’t necessarily show too clearly how to navigate around between different regions of the graph of game states.
In that case does every company who employs people who would rather be doing another job, but don’t have a choice “exploitive”?
