This story had an amazing effect on me as a child and before it begins, yes I have a disability (though a so called invisible disability - I have type 1 diabetes and epilepsy).

It isn't that we should turn a blind eye to the disabled, as many use it as a parable for. Many disabled do need extra help, but that help comes in the form of lifting up, not pushing down those who are able. The able should be encouraged, in their own way. Everyone needs to excel in an area that is their own and have a space to grow (oh God, I've turned into a hippy =/).

I worry that this parable, the true meaning of this parable, has been washed-out over the years to be used only as a sword and not the shield it was meant to be.

You can program beautiful classes but can you actually architect or direct a team? Can you adapt with new information and find actionable solutions to roadblocks for your team and so on? Can you get along with your technical team and command the ship?

I dont care about your skill if nobody gets along with you. You will be the reason top tier talent leaves. A good engineering team is the one where everyone gets along. Everyone has memories of working with toxic people. Imagine if you replaced all those toxic people in former jobs with people you got along with. Would you have left at all? It makes a huge difference.
They're positioned to have much wider reach than even AWS. You probably wouldn't put AWS in front of GCP or Azure. You might put CloudFlare in front of any of those. And once you've done that, well, they offer these other services that compete with the backend you're already using....

Their position in the stack has a great deal of market relevance, which translates to risk if they realize that potential, because they could well end up being a critical part of more of the Internet than AWS is.
They make guns quieter and reduce recoil. All around more pleasant to shoot and reduce hearing damage. Guns are loud enough that exposure to even a few rounds in close quarters can cause hearing damage so suppressors should be in regular use as safety devices. They don't make guns safe without earpro, they don't make them silent, they don't even make them that quiet. You will still know if one goes off nearby. This is one of the things about hollywood that pisses off everyone who knows squat about guns, and why we try to refer to them as suppressors rather than "silencers".

i dont know Vonnegut's politics but i have always wondered if this story was secretly a fairytale for the right-leaning. it paints wanting equality as intensely evil, holding back the best of humanity. which, yes, true in communist regimes, but you see echoes in some less well considered laws and policies in modern life. i am afraid to like, or even publicly discuss, the story because of what it might say about me.

There's your problem. I can boot a tinyconfig Linux kernel that's 600K in QEMU using the microvm machine type in milliseconds. A basic Windows install is tens of gigabytes, and doesn't have the capability of being stripped down to the barebones essentials.

London (City of London) pre pandemic used to regularly have troops of charity employees hard selling their pitch and only accepting monthly subscription payments via Direct Debit, which is the legal equivalent of granting joint custody of your funds to the extent that the Halifax savings and loan used to refuse to cancel a direct debit payment for the customer, claiming that the customer has no such right, and the severality of granting regulated but effectively unfettered withdrawal authority lead me to think twice about taking them to court. The UK Direct Debit system doesn't even verify the customers name against the account details, wide open to fraud. Anyhow the argument for declining both cash and once off card donations wasn't anything to do with the sidewalk venue, but the charity wanting me to give them my tax deduction as well. They'd be lined up across Cheapside in funnel formations. No wonder that WFH is still so popular.
Won't you need to train it to tell what you want before it tells it?

Collective Complaint Against the Technopolice
Why the last one?
In passing, it is just a retracted paper. However, the lab website of the corresponding author offers a comprehensive time machine to the impact the announcement of this work originally had [1]. It seems to be that, in a collaboration between three graduate students, some background data which was foundational to the interpretation of other findings may have been fabricated. As a researcher, all i can think when a major retraction happens is: what a nightmare.

Every author of a manuscript should have full faith and knowledge of the results and presented data, but in a massive piece of work such as this, how can you? Imagine for a second, one graduate student doesn't want to face the wrath of an Assistant Professor one day, on purpose or not mishandles data. A year or two later it turns out you have not only wasted your time, but also the time of 500+ citing paper authors, numerous grant proposals, etc. Alongside the Alzheimer's retraction this year, the thirst for impact factor and the problems this causes seems to be yet another unsolvable problem in academia.

Zero suppressed decision diagrams work even better (less nodes). I think TAoCP Vol. 4 goes through a bunch of examples that applies them and has interesting counting problems whose instances are solved for large N.

Every now and then I think a bit on how to apply this to something more serious (problems with constraints) but still haven't found an approach.

Yes, of course, the problem is that it is not easy (IMHO) because of the lack a clear division between data and OS.

I mean, if you decide to encrypt the whole disk (like bitlocker or similar) you will need to provide the password/key to the repair shop or they might not be able otherwise to test that it is fully functional, if you have all your data on a separate volume you may well encrypt that volume only, but lots of possibly "private" data is anyway scattered on the OS volume.
I think there's some merit to your argument, that there's some minimal level of understanding that's required before speaking becomes meaningful, but that your time estimate is off by two orders of magnitude.

Working in Sweden, where tech companies speak English internally, I've been able to follow the language learning journeys of quite a few people (including some using the strategy "don't bother"), and the people who end up the best speakers (with regard to accent, grammar and vocabulary) are invariably those who try to speak the language as much as possible as early as possible.

Yes, they will have a strong accent in the beginning, but it goes away with time (though accents rarely disappear entirely). The native English speakers who've lived in the country for twenty years without speaking much Swedish daily still have strong accents.
we do have some plans but nothing finalised yet. We actually removed the stripe implementation because we want to publish it as a PWA on appstores. For pricing we would probably go the subscription route. An other idea we had was for an ad-based service (I also hate ads so give me a sec to explain):
When you talk to a friend about movies you are currently watching, the might recommend a good movie they just saw on netflix. Now in our case we could have recommendations like that but they would be ads.

Obviously you don't want to be spammed by ads in every conversations and it's going to be tricky how they come across. Do you think something like that would be greepy or ok? Or would you say it's better to have it a premium subscription based service? We are trying to figure this stuff out ourselves atm...
I am transitioning to content creation and I already get paid for it. I used to just have an engineering job. Yes, I got paid WAY more in an engineering job but I look at it this way: the much higher salary I got in an engineering job is an exchange for having to do the work other people tell me to do, which I don't really find intrinsically interesting. It also means I have to commute sometimes, interact with others who might be incompetent, etc. Not worth the extra money at all.
Any plans for Korean?
The leetcode grind is playing a game in some respects, and I don't see this as any different. Management was doing this before leetcode was a thing though.

>Once these climbing yes men start getting promoted, they show a preferential treatment to their own kind, and the organization's days are numbered.

I don't think so. If there were actually company-ending consequences, you'd see this stuff around a lot less.

I see a lot of preferential treatment for stuyding/passing leetcode interviews as well. There's also a counter-culture to it which has preferential treatment for people who don't like leetcode.

To me this just seems like company culture in America and instead of ending the company, it keeps it going.

Google Tag Manager can be down without affecting websites uptime and as a visitor I can block them. I do block them, by the way. So, it's quite central, but at least not really a point of failure.

Oh yeah, I agree. I'm not claiming that it can't be true that one person alone might be instrumental to a big change or a breakthrough in companies.
It's the way you present it that wouldn't fly.

Traditional German bosses also have a very bad trait that is the complete inability of motivating through positive reinforcement, or through verbal appreciation.
It's so well known that there is a flourishing coaching industry based around teaching exactly that.

That said, if I had to point out a deeply detrimental trait of the German recruitment culture is the over-reliance on degrees, masters, institutional certifications, and such, which are mostly useless in determining the cultural fit of a potential employee.
I haven't found this to be the case.

Post Eich, Mozilla has done a lot more to offend "reactionaries" as you have described them.
The way I think about this that there’s three meta levels in organizations:

The team that builds the product (devs, senior devs, lead devs). Build here usually means code, design, ops.

The team that builds the team that builds the products (engineering managers, principals, staff, directors of X, maybe VP of X). Build here usually means building up people (hiring, firing and training) and making technical decisions with an intent to educate and influence.

Then there’s the team that builds the team that builds that builds the product. These are the CxOs, including CTO. The requisite skill here is engineering the organisation itself, not necessarily a fleet of services or APIs. This skill can benefit greatly from an engineering background (or just playing Factorio), but it’s broad enough that you also need to get into people management, psychology, marketing, selling (internally), consensus building etc. But it not directly related to code.
This story is typically seen as a critique of socialism, but it's more likely that Vonnegut intended it as a critique of critiques of socialism [1]. Vonnegut himself was a socialist [2], and the absurdist tone of the story reinforces this idea.

Yeah, but someone would probably try to sue Google if things went wrong. A similar situation applies to headphones on mobile phones where one is warned about hearing loss if one exceeds a certain volume.

On the matter of YouTube volumes being too low, I've had to download some videos with tools like NewPipe when I didn't actually want to keep them solely because I didn't have enough volume in the phone's browser.

Downloading the video allowed me to loaded it into VLC player which allows a gain in excess of 100%.

When people ask, I describe leadership as the effect of being followed. The way you become followed is by having clarity of vision and direction. That clarity of vision and direction tends to be a moralized intention. Someone who "feels guilt" (a really coarse interpretation) could fall into the set of people oriented in a moralized direction, but guilt is neither sufficient or necessary to lead. Leadership, that is - to be followed willingly - is an effect of having moral clarity about where you are going, and then taking others there with you.

Someone without moral clarity about their direction can manage, judge, be an authority figure, drive change, govern, influence, and lots of other means of using power invested in them, but they are using the reflected clarity of the authority that invested them with their powers, and they are not the origin of that moral clarity like someone with first hand knowledge, competence, or physical experience. This natural leadership doesn't always prevail either, and it's even not always ethical, but if you want to talk about leadership, it's not something that can be faked until you make it or affected for very long, as it's the effect of being followed willingly. You are followed, or you aren't.
Let's face it, most technology is boring after about 30 minutes.
There are many possible knobs on such a tool that could be wonderfully useful. I'd love to press a button that provides critical feedback: marking for errors or suggesting improvements for style (grammar, better word choice, useful idioms, etc).

It'd also be great if my sentence was scored for 'natural-ness' -- how close was it to native speech? If this could be done regionally, that'd be better still (e.g. Spanish as spoken in Spain vs Mexico vs Argentina, etc).

I'd also love to know what age level am I speaking at. A child? A teen? An adult? A more educated person? A professional author? Am I being ambiguous? Too direct?

What is the tone I am using? Friendly? Demanding? Too formal? Culturally clueless? Improper to someone older or to the opposite sex?

In fact, these same feedbacks could be really valuable even in your own native language. Learning how to communicate more clearly, precisely, positively, professionally, respectfully, literately, or even in a different style would be great practice to improve a person's basic communication skills in any language.

There is a lot of activity in the space of SDK generators. If you have an OpenAPI schema, you should be able to find tooling that can get you 80% of the way there. Here's a small app our team put together a couple weeks ago that you might like: https://easysdk.xyz/

Even outside of the smartphone per se, I expect a lot of people don't really appreciate just how high friction it was to get information about anything including government services, information you might want to do your job, purchases, books, etc. etc.--especially outside of major cities with large libraries and research universities. (And even as an undergrad at one of those research universities it was hard to find current information on specialized topics.)
True. Some cheap old creatures still see a lot of play: birds, elves, the merfolk lords for example.
You are intentionally misrepresenting the argument, to the point of being outright dishonest. The main piece of evidence in this comment thread is that Hans cheated in the past, not Magnus's expertise. So your letter A should be about Hans admitting to cheating, and somewhere further down--maybe C or D--would mention Magnus's expertise, if you were trying to debate in good faith (which you're not).

As for his "gut" feeling being part of the argument, you're not quoting anyone here; you are again intentionally misrepresenting what others are saying.

If you're going to analyze an argument someone else is making, be honest about it or there is really no point in discussing anything with you.
IMHO, better practice with mistakes, then fix them later once you talk to native speakers, than not practice at all.

Circumference to radius.

But it really has nothing to do with the universe, except insofar as maths happen to (imperfectly) match it.

Presumably if the universe seemed to match some other maths, we would have invented that variety instead. The Greeks knew the Earth was round, yet made up plane geometry; and never touched on spherical geometry, as far as we know.

Astonishingly, the concept of the number line did not surface until 2000 years later. With the number line, school children can do on command what the best mathematicians of antiquity struggled with for centuries.

Mind you, it still requires to have a c compiler, to be installed separately. It's very easy on linux, but a x-code install on mac, and can be fiddling on windows.

Still nice, but not like golang or rust where you have a stand alone solution.

My Night at the Metaverse’s Seediest Strip Clubs
This story was part of a collection of literature that came out shortly after it became irrefutably understood on the left, that the USSR had failed and become a totalitarian state.

Early on in USSR's history most of the socialistically leaning world was hopeful that the USSR might still be, to some degree, working out as hoped. It was extremely hard to get unbiased reporting about what was actually happening within its borders, which allowed some die-hard supporters to hold out hope. But when the USSR put down the Hungarian revolution in 56, there was no denying this any longer.

This story wasn't support of right wing politics. It was anti-totalitarian.
