The tangent to this is - the reason that Mars doesn't have much of an atmosphere isn't that its not gravitationally massive enough to hold on to it, but rather that its core cooled and lost its magnetic shielding. The lack of a magnetosphere then allowed the solar wind to strip its atmosphere.

Time and Motion Study
A lot of blog templates, as well as tools that syndicate blog content, require some sort of image. They'll take the first image they encounter, no matter what it is. If you want to avoid it being some sort of sidebar glyph, or the page looking wonky, you have to supply an image. What image would possible have fit this article? And so we end up with AI-generated filler.

That doesn't make it desirable, but I hope it helps to explain it.
Collecting such news into a conceptual picture of what has been going on (really all around the world, though became open in the UA conflict), it is a pretty much expose on how things ( military <-> corporations <-> state-apparatus of US) are in fact running this world; foreign and economic-international politics (pressure games as well as wars). It is not really news for those who follow events since 20 years, however, this time it is nearly impossible to hide or shroud it anymore (perhaps only to the most gullible sectors of populations may be blind to this -- there will always be some percentage of populace).

What kind of implications it will have on self-perception of the general west population, and also then on the perception of adversarial actors in the global scheme(?) It seems to be that elites are no longer able or lost concern for hiding the growing abyss of disconnect of what is desire/concern of normal people versus elite's visions.

I grew up in Southern California. You can bike year round, except for a couple of days a year when you have severe rain (which also floods a lot of roads) or wildfires. The primary reason people don’t are that the roads are unsafe by design and opposition to dense housing has pushed people into unsustainable lifestyles.

All it takes then is just move from a method of remembering to another more efficient and enjoyable one, I can illustrate what I am trying to say using your Anki example by saying that once a language learner for example reaches a certain level in the language after acquiring a sized set of vocabulary, the learner can move to "abundant reading" as a way to memorize words through frequency as a more effective method of learning new vocabulary.

So it's all about remembering, but what differs is how someone approaches it depending on their level and understanding of the topic they are trying to learn.
FOSS was never about open source, it was about freedom and liberty.

It is supposed to advocate a lack of restrictions upon what users can do to the software to balance against what software can do to the users, or more importantly, forbid the users from doing at all. (or permit doing with varying levels of convenience/inconvenience).

but then, with a debate that software is better made in an open source development/collaboration style, and a political and economical state-society built around exclusivity and deceitful exploitation, there's no discourse around freedom left near the open-closed source debate.

also, the earlier FOSS advocates (GNU crowd) thought they could 'hack' the system and use one of its own tools, specifically copyright laws, in order to 'trick' (hacker mindset) the law system into guaranteeing that the software was not going to be locked down and turned to work against the users. It's become clear now (in retrospect) it did not work.
Huh. Panty raids. In retrospect, the only other time I've ever heard of this concept was when Spongebob and Patrick did it with Mr. Krabs, unknowingly against his own mother. Somehow I don't think that episode would get greenlit anymore.

Our Ancestors Thought We'd Build an Economic Paradise
Their self-hosted runners are pretty jank. If your workflow writes something to the docker container's user's home directory, you will see it in the next workflow you run. Due to this and other things, I need a "preamble" action that needs to run right after checkout. Oh, if don't checkout at the beginning of your workflow, you will be using the previous workflow's copy of the repository.

I'm 100% sure they don't use this internally as these are glaring issues that impacts anyone using the self hosted runner. They also recommend running the container as root[1] instead of designing something more secure and sane.

You can remember something without fully understanding it. There is more to learning than just remembering.
Only in practice. And, mostly implemented by engineers.
Promoting Free Culture with Proprietary Software
They seem obsessed with simulated really bad CRTs. I think you could see such scanlines if you were hooking up your Atari 2600 to a TV that was already a decade old, then sat right on top of it instead of across the living room because the cords were short and you wanted to see your games. I've seen it on some arcade games, for similar reasons. But in general, CRTs didn't have those plainly obvious lines, no, because... the engineers would have engineered them out! And did. They're plainly unsightly and it isn't that hard to remove them, after all.

I imagine part of it is the need to have visible differences strongly emphasized so it looks like the filters are doing something. A true CRT filter would be much more subtle and people might not thing anything has happened when you turn it on.
There is a place where open source platforms and software should be the norm, and that's in government and education. There's no reason to use proprietary software and platforms as the governmental norm (for example, all software related in any way to collecting and tallying votes should be open source). Nor is there any reason to push Apple or Microsoft on students, or for that matter, proprietary and overpriced textbooks.

As far as making money, governmental and educational programs should hire technical professionals who keep their open source systems secure and updated, and who also contribute updates and improvements to open source code.

Yes, this cuts the investment capitalists and monopolistic tech corporations out of the taxpayer-financed public sector, while also improving the quality of governmental and educational programs, and likely saving on expenditures as well. Sounds like a win-win.

My single biggest incentive when I'm writing open source code is that I want to NEVER have to solve the same problem again, for the rest of my career, no matter who I am working for in the future.

That's why I chose the license that seems least likely to prevent me from being able to use the code I've written (currently Apache 2).
These seem to regularly pop up on HN but the new ones never seem to describe the ways in which they differ from the now-20-years-old xanalogtv hack.
This is a great take, even within the same firm I've found huge mismatches in expectations when a "senior" is hired for soft skills, but internally the role aligns to hard skills - or visa versa.

Throwing a project master at a hard tech problem will usually result in disaster. However the same is often true of a hard tech researcher. Eventually people tend to acquire relevant skills from both sides or move into management.
Creating a tool to help others learn is awesome.

I think what the article misses is that there is a ton of knowledge we can't 'write down' and therefore memorization is not enough. For example learning to solve Integrals. Yes, there are some rules and tricks one can memorize which helps but I would argue the only way to get good at solving integrals is to interact, resp. solve them.

Another point are second order effects of how one learns, for example curiosity and resilience. There might be a long time negative effect on motivation of a topic, when there is too much focus on 'memorization' (It certainly was that for me in my French class;)).

I really enjoyed the 'bad reputation' part and agree that it is sadly viewed as not important enough by many.
For PS3 development it seems that the devs were forced to use a fork of GCC made to support the notorious Cell architecture (some info from here: https://www.copetti.org/writings/consoles/playstation-3/). Not sure about the NDA details but I would believe contributing to the compiler would have been difficult (and would have not really landed in the GCC trunk anyway).

For PS4 and later Sony used an LLVM fork for their toolchain, so now they don't even have the obligation to share their compiler code. Maybe some improvements to LLVM will "naturally" go back to the devkit, but it's not really a good situation for open-source contribution.

Not sure how it went for the XBox lineups though (Probably it used MSVC, since it's from Microsoft?). Since console development is mired up in NDAs there's not that much public info about it.
Another commenter posted a source that mentions in passing that ISO 8601 was the result of a 1978 UN declaration that Monday should be the first day of the week. Now I wonder where that came from!
I guess it depends on the needs of a business. But any business that has the money to pay $100,000+/yr for a product designer should be able to pay $500/yr for an Enterprise Figma license.

I would perhaps look at it from the standpoint—is $XXX/yr going to make my $XXX,XXX/yr employee more at least that much more productive?
The attack you describe (somewhat dismissively) is extremely common.
In most game engines, constructing the rotation matrix is trivial. Something like Quaternion.Euler(0, 45, 0). The ultimate position / rotation of any given object in a game is usually a compound transform computed via matrix multiplication anyway, e.g. a model view projection matrix. I'm not sure it's the best way, but that's just how most game engines work.
Online ratings are meaningless. But your FIDE rating, which derives from playing actual classical chess in-person, means everything. Attaining a good FIDE rating is the difference between being able to make a living off the game and not. Online ratings are in fact so meaningless that eligibility for major online tournaments is based on your FIDE rating, not your online rating.

It's the difference between cheating at a casual Poker game at home with no money staked and cheating at the World Series of Poker when serious money is at stake.

> > But math never decreed that sine and cosine have to take radian arguments!

> Ummm, actually it did.

No, it didn't. Some specific uses looking better with radians does not mean you have to use radians always.

When I first learned sine and cosine, we used degrees, and that worked fine. Later we switched to radians, but there's no reason why you shouldn't use turns, and the article gives a very good argument why in some cases you definitely should.

> When you approximate functions by polynomials, including the trigonometric functions, the Taylor series are never used, because they are inefficient (too much computation for a given error). Other kinds of polynomials are used for function approximations.

Can you point me to some implementation of sin that’s not actually using Taylor expansion in some form? Because most that I am aware of do in fact use Taylor series (others are just table lookup). See glibc for example:

https://github.com/bminor/glibc/blob/release/2.34/master/sys...

And here is musl

https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/math/__sin.c

(The constants are easily checked to be -1/3!, 1/5! Etc)

This might have something to do with the Taylor’s theorem. You know, that the Taylor’s polynomial of the order n is the only polynomial of order n that satisfies |f(x)-T(x)|/(x-a)^(n+1) -> 0 as x -> a. In other words, the Taylor polynomial of order n is the unique polynomial approximation to f around a to the order n+1. This means you cannot get any better than Taylor close to the origin of the expansion. This causes implementers to focus on argument reductions instead of selecting polynomials.
Per the author, they’re launching a service called “Save All” — which is simplified version of spaced repetition; might be worth explicitly stating this in the intro or footer of the linked blog post.
If your game engine is using quaternions as a canonical internal representation for rotations, it is already following my advice from above.

(Game engine developers are smart people and have lots of practical experience with the benefits of avoiding angle measures, as do developers of computer vision, computer graphics, robotics, physical simulations, aerospace flight control, GIS, etc. etc. tools.)
This comment is unironically based LOL. It's a very cynical take, but I do agree that coding and programming doesn't need to be universal, and any attempt to do so has failed.

There is/was this strange wave of every educator demanding programming be taught to middle schoolers and high schoolers. It never turned out great - at best, they were taught very basic Scratch that helped them develop their problem solving skills vs. their programming skills.

Computer literacy is far more important, and is completely decoupled from coding. Instead of coding, every student should be taught how the internet genuinely functions, how digital privacy works and more. Knowing how a for loop works doesn't help with any of that.
Your 1st and 2nd point = correlation but not causation IMO.
That's not what they're talking about. They're talking about companies that are inherently unprofitable or barely profitable but hire huge sales or marketing teams to drive revenue growth, which enables them to seek cheap debt and venture capital to keep the music playing. These companies employ hundreds, thousands, maybe tens of thousands of sales people, marketers, and all the HR/security/facilities/IT staff that support them.

Killing zombie companies will be devastating to all these people.
You've got to love Roadside Picnic as it can be seen as the predecessor to other stories and games, like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and Escape from Tarkov. It's core trope is unique enough to have spawned an entire generation of content.

Wouldn’t artifacts be better for that then? A cache can be empty.
Theoretically, could this same principle be borrowed by the open source community… to create a database that tracks and updates the location of police, government, military, and high status individual vehicles?

I’m thinking of a decentralized, Web3, IPFS-like distributed database, but instead of file storage, it’s real-time geolocation with OSM on the backend.
I'm with Kernigham and Pike: the debugger is for getting a stack trace out of core dumps. Printf is for debugging.

Counter argument: if they’re paying designers, why would they not pay for the tools that enable them to be most productive? Figma is a small cost, relatively. Asking them to use a tool that’s worse is like hiring a developer and refusing to pay for a Jetbrains subscription, the tool is worth way more than the pennies saved.

Why is there no opposition to this shit? SIMs were physical for a reason. As a consumer what do you get out of it? You have to go through the carriers to switch between phones now! You can't just pick up a random unlocked phone and put a sim in it. No more burner phones. I have been in situations where I changed SIM between phones multiple times a day.

But it sounds like it is too late for this. It's like people who oppose cash payments out of the convenience of card/app payments. This small chipping away of a small libery adds up.

I hope eveyone knows that you can't as a layman register an email address or any meaningful service you depend on without a phone number (i.e.: a sim), that is what is being regulated here even more.
>Also why do you care if people decide to be coders?

Probably due the narrative that privileged, young white men control the world with their computer programming. The reality is, ironically, that programming is how well-meaning people with a certain type of smarts find themselves grinding away to perform other people's wishes.
On a related note, it bothers me that there’s so much urgency to teach younger kids more and more advanced math. I use more and higher math on a day-to-day basis than practically anyone I know, but it’s very rarely even calculus, and even then it’s typically just discrete integrals or derivatives.

There’s just an absolute ton of math being taught that’s going completely to waste, and it’s at the expense of the humanities.

I agree with the core idea of your comment, but I think the author is as far as I understood it think of learning as "fully understanding", so if you didn't fully understand it then you didn't learn it yet.
If you're developing for games consoles, you're probably stuck using a specific revision of the compiler offered by the platform owner, even if it happens to be clang under the hood. In some cases their certification requirements entirely prohibit using other compilers.

So improved debug performance is probably not in the cards unless you change your code to work around compiler issues.
It gets worse.

"We won't support clients that dont support microsoft supported practices" is a very short stone's throw away from "we won't support non-microsoft clients", as I've come to discover at my university, where I had to ask for permission to use an email client just for oauth to work.

Which is yet to be granted after 2 months (and if granted, will be granted site-wide ... i.e. unlikely unless there is a large demand for non-microsoft clients)
The problem is that if you don't commit information to long-term memory you can't use it reason effectively in other contexts, and you have to add it back to your short-term memory every time you look it up -- so outsourcing your memory to a knowledge bank is limiting the complexity of the tasks you can handle.

So there might be more information you're expected to know in modern jobs -- but if you spend a bit more time consolidating rather than acquiring new information, you can build the foundations on which more advanced skills can rest.

For transparency: I work with the OP
Facebook substantially altered lives: it is used for genocide, recruiting insurrections, and ruins mental health -- and nobody here is wringing their hands about working on the broader ecosystem. Engineers who worked to build out DTC brands aren't considered lepers.

It feels like a double standard and pulling the ladder up, so even if the next generation of startup programmers get work, they'll be "tainted" by starting in crypto. I am in a sophisticated niche of the industry just like many readers here are in their comfortable niche of their industries and reasonably distant from the most harmful practices.

Maybe I just need to accept that SV programmers don't like to look in the mirror and see that most of our work is ultimately as pointless/destructive as crypto but with a couple extra steps.
