to be fair to Microsoft, the terminal developers didn’t have a lot of experience with approaches like the one Casey used. Casey had 25+ years of game development experience to draw from, and the Windows Terminal team didn’t.

game development is an entirely different paradigm than enterprise software development; they aren’t really comparable, other than they both produce software which successfully executes.

in games, any code which does not directly contribute to the final product is not written, or is removed after it is not needed. in enterprise software, tens of thousands of lines of code are produced simply so the project layout is familiar for everyone working on it, because that’s important, somehow?

Casey was right to complain about the performance, and to show them how it should work. licensing it so that they couldn’t even look at it was both 100% intentional and 100% a dick move, and i will not credit him for that. that code could have been used as a wakeup call regarding performance for a lot of people within Microsoft, but he licensed it so they can’t even look at it.

perfomance of microsoft software isn’t great, i’ll agree. poking fun at them then hiding the code that was easy enough to write for him, but completely not obvious to the Windows Terminal team, doesn’t really make Casey the Software Quality Hero you’ve portrayed him as. Casey writes excellent software, don’t get me wrong. this particular example and series of events is not a high point in his career, to me.
Definitely not the pension funds who chose to diversify from gilts into riskier securities and then took out margin to buy more gilts as a hedge thereby destroying the long term durability AND THE ENTIRE PURPOSE of a pension…
Hedging... funny. It sounds important and smart until you realise, in simple words, what it means. I hate those kinds of words because they obscure the simple reality.

When you invest in something you basically say that out of all possible options that were available to you, you predict the one you invest in will most likely (according to your risk assessment) bring profits.

If this was your best choice, WHY IN THE WORLD would you invest in something that is doing the opposite?

And there are other reasons not to play with borrowed money... Common sense says any kind of borrowed money costs.

Hedging is used in short term situations, where you want to insulate yourself from market fluctuations. Say you are Lufthansa and you have tight budget and you don't want your budget ruined by changes in fuel prices. Knowing how much fuel you will need and at what time, you hedge against those changes. It will cost you but you treat this cost like insurance against disruptions of your business.
Not really. Look at the big picture. Due to Ukrainian corruption over the past 30 years the transition from communism to democracy was botched, even worse than it was in Russia post-Yeltsin.
Economic failure secondary to corruption resulted in unhappy people. Naturally people fell back into ethno-nationalist populism and violence and politicians promised pot of gold at the end of the rainbow solutions like EU or NATO membership to deflect attention from their domestic failures.

A lot of the speed games get is by having bad load times when starting up.

Don't forget that they need to make enough profit to recover their engineering NRE costs. At low volumes that can force pretty high prices.

What powers heavy industry in your decentralized utopia? Some kind of reverse grid?

Only about 34% of electricity is used for residential purposes in the United States, and I would be surprised if the proportion were much different in other countries.
Just from casual observation it seems hurricane predictions are getting less accurate also. The forecast for Ian changed a lot, several times in the last week, which resulted in some people not realizing the prediction had changed and put them in danger. Rainfall and storm surge have become bigger factors in the damage caused, and seem even less accurately predicted (initial max predictions for rainfall from Ian were 6-10 inches, that later became in excess of 18 inches). The location of waste treatment plants, industries that deal with toxins, and critical infrastructure are not yet widely taken into account in long term preparation for storms, and often not even in short term preparations (the big plan for waste treatment plants for Ian was to pre-release raw sewage?!
What kind of plan is that?)

Early on in the covid pandemic US weather forecasting lost accuracy because there were fewer planes flying (planes collect atmospheric data used in forecasting). Anyone know if that source of data has recovered to where it was before? From the news I get the sense that there are still fewer planes flying because people are still not traveling as much.
Why would he bother?
There are a significant number of large orgs on G Suite enterprise now. And Gmail is a key part of the offering for many. So they won't be shutting down Gmail altogether anytime soon. Although sunsetting free Gmail accounts in the future wouldn't be out of the question.

To the author, parenting is hard, really really hard especially when they are young.
Though it may look like other are able to handle things. trust me they are going through the same problems as you are .
So take it easy on you and give yourself a big pat in the back for what you have so far done as a parent.

The USA has a surprisingly large number of military facilities, many of which appear to have been located at or collocated near naval facilities, around the world that would in the event of a nuclear war, be prime targets. In a way this has strategic advantages as it makes it harder to “get everything” but at the end of the day it’s a tangled geopolitical history that lead to the current status quo.
As much as it looks, it isn't.

Younger more educated people are more immune ( although equally passive and "stoic" ) but the vast majority believes what Kremlin says ( with varying degrees ).

But it's not "magic", with 20+ years of constant propaganda in pretty much every TV channel every population would believe the same. Do not underestimate the sophistication and the level they can shape the minds of their people. The Internet was a new "challenge" but it's mostly under their control although not at the level they control TV and every newspaper.

Also, the "story/reality" they spread in Africa, most Asia and South America is completely is completely different to the one they spread on the West. China does something similar.

To my knowledge in the West their low effort blatant lies doesn't get much traction, but the way they feed the disenfranchised, contrarians and "influencers" fostering discontent has been effective. Don't know about TikTok.
I see it as any other computer usage for new tech. I get what you're saying, I just word vomited, I'm more upset about the power gird situation. Especially in my area, anything being privatized enough to inflate prices but not enough that you have a choice in what 'grid' you get power from.

I am honestly very jaded about any news about climate change, shifting attention consumer side after seeing all the leaks happening. Sure bitcoin is wasteful but people are paying to be wasteful and are allowed to be doing that. I'd rather sort out the renewable energy source before convincing crypto bros of anything

That's gotta get axed or Google will stagnate even more than it already is.

Then again, I'm not sure what can come in and usurp its place as a "global-leader-company". Maaaaybe Tesla if every single little thing goes right for them (and that's a stretch)?

Or perhaps, the way things are going lately, a defense company... I hope not.
Not really because the changes caused higher (anticipated) interest rates which will have the opposite effect on the economy. Also removing the 45% tax rate would not have had any measurable impact on the economy aside from the aforementioned negative one, it was just a pointless handout (hence the crisis of confidence).

What the government actually needs to do is to get back confidence so that interest rates don’t have to go so high to compensate for the loss of confidence. They could do that by walking back the changes and appointing an experienced and “safe” chancellor.

I’ve wondered how many of those Americans who think we should just concede half of Ukraine to Russia would feel the same if Mexico invaded to reclaim the western half of the U.S., raping and murdering their way across the countryside.

No point talking to putin. Leaders of nuclean capable nations (US, China, India, UK, France) could do a collaborative video recording where they calmly explain in russian language to russian people that any nuclear blast on Ukraine soil will be met with unilateral nuclear retaliation from all of them simultaneously. There can be no Nuclear use in a war of aggression, the only safe move for the rest of the world is to eradicate the party that takes that step. Otherwise where does it stop?

So far we had US/NATO sending multiple messages to Moscow about some magical unspecified "severe consequences" https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/nato-warns-russia-sever... with the subtext it wont be nuclear. Putin as any bully doesnt believe in consequences and talk, he only believes in escalation until getting his way.
It remains to be seen whether a sustainable business can be built on OnlyFans; it came very close to getting destroyed last year. And almost every other name in the sector is owned by MindGeek.
For now.

Unfortunately, even if you have very fast drawing, there are plenty of other ways to make software slow. But high performance GUI software is the main thing I'm working on at the moment and I expect to have interesting results in the coming months. If nothing else, it should be a data point of how fast GUI software can be.
You can find some pretty interesting improperly redacted documents all over PACER. Usually it's defense attorneys who don't realize that blacking out text in Adobe doesn't remove it rather than the government though.

Here's one https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.42... for the sentencing submission for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Le_Roux which reveals some pretty personal and operational information.

There's one about a Colombian paramilitary leader/drug trafficker turned informant which improperly redacted all the people he informed on: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.184.... This is from like a decade ago but goes to show how this kind of thing can literally put people's lives at risk.
Another reason could also be the fact that devs usually only ever run development builds of the software.

So you end up dismissing slowness due to this ("I am sure this is faster when compiled in Release!").

I've made that mistake before until it was so slow that I decided to compile a Release build which was just as slow and found out that a regression was introduced.

Automatic performance monitoring for 'tasks'/services/computations is relatively straightforward but not quite as easy for UI interactions so these often get ignored.
It feels like it is breaking up the text into still scenes scenes, making squiggle type animations of several variations of each still, and then morphing between them. I wonder what a NN designed progression would actually be like.

That's a difference between developer and engineer. It's part of an engineer's job to not put out the garbage required by bad management, and instead signal to regulatory agents and media that management is attempting to say, put changes into a bridge that will cause it to call down, killing the first people to step on it
The model is trained on discretized photons (pixels). Doing so may have encouraged the model to learn features related to depth.
Fair enough. My benchmark was inference. I care about inference much more than training for most of what I do.

Why not? The government will bail out the funds. Meanwhile, there are bonuses to be made on a quarterly basis. Heads the fund managers win. Tails the taxpayer looses.
Doesn't that pretty much prove the point of the comment you are replying to?

Mark has majority of the voting shares of Meta. He could run it into the ground and still could stay in control.
Likewise, the statement in the clip neglects the baseline starting point of the object.

I know it's comedy science, but "pie" is already a thing, as are apples. So "apple pie from scratch" refers to AFTER the apple and pie have been invented, not before.

Putting aside Hank Green's obvious hysterics, I'm glad this author brought some rationality to the attempted outrage baiting.

But just to give a general statement, I think Google's callout snippet feature is dangerous. It's probably really fucking clever by algorithm standards and works some high percentage of the time, but that makes it even more dangerous when people have confidence that it is 100% real. I was helping somebody Google a technical problem recently, and the callout snippet suggested something that would damage the project, but this non-expert thought that it was the de-facto answer to her question because it was at the top of the search results. I think Google's design needs to make it more clear that these are algorithmically selected snippets that are not guaranteed to be accurate or solve any given question you might have.
>Airbursts would magnify this effect.

No, if the fireball does not touch the ground, which is the definition of an air burst, the fallout is much much less.

The trouble is that some targets are most efficiently destroyed with ground bursts. These targets include ICBM silos, command-and-control bunkers, telecommunications hubs and internet-cable landing stations (where submarine cables intersect with a coastline).

The other trouble is that the effects of the air bursts other than the fallout are quite destructive.
> To quit days before the Adobe acquisition has to be a big moment of reflection

if you're implying that his stock would be worth a lot, it wouldn't have been a huge gain. He stated that he was only there for a year, so his stock was likely priced around the last 409A valuation. The only big difference it would have made is that his stock would have been liquid sooner. Also, Adobe stock took a huge hit after the acquisition news. Half his shares would have been converted into Adobe stock.
The thing is, and this applies to any other human made vs computer made thing: there will always be people who cannot or don't care to discern between quality and "whatever" (aka "good enough", but where "good" is a very low bar).

The people who would be satisfied with AI generated music are people who would not have paid for human made music in the first place.

You as a good musician will never lose a sale to an AI music source, because that buyer wouldn't have bought your music in the first place.

Now if you make your living providing easy listening background music, then you will eventually be replaced.
>To labor means to suffer

I disagree with this intrinsically.

Certainly, some labor is suffering, but what it actually means is to put forth effort. To some people, any effort put forth is suffering, but that's certainly not always the case. Laboring on behalf of something you believe in deeply can be joyful. If you really have never experienced this, I urge you to change your habits and try to find a way to do things that you can take joy in.
afaik there just hasn’t been a lot of work done towards leveraging the GPU for vector graphics. The one example I can think of is the Slug library.

whoa there, you don’t know that. you think you do because you’re getting a ton of upvotes and you’re leaning into the feeling you had when you wrote that comment — the anti-Microsoft comment on a site known for its anti-microsoft comments.

if you don’t work at Microsoft, you have very little hope of understanding the motivations of a team, a product manager, or even a single developer within Microsoft. there’s a lot more there than meets the eye, just like there is at any huge company.
I was banned on reddit for sexualizing children. I said that the fact you can show murdered children but not bathing children on US television is a sign of cultural mental illness.

You might want to preempt after scheduling quanta expirations, page faults, etc. And there is still the issue of existing code that use the standard blocking system APIs.

Also a synchronous API can be more efficient if it is not going to block and only the kernel can know.

As much a schadenfreude opportunity as I want this to be, I must admit my Linux desktop takes so long to launch a snap that I have time to ps and see whether it crashed or is just slow. (It's always just slow.)
That was sort of my point. Microsoft _used_ to throw a lot more stuff at the wall and see what sticks (I am talking about 10-20 years ago). These days it seems like the effort is much more concentrated with buy-in from the whole organisation (VS Code, .net core, WSL, Azure) and users can therefore put more trust in the company to continue investing into an endeavour.

(obviously there are still exceptions to this, I have lost count on the number of desktop UI frameworks Microsoft has developed in the last 15 years...)

gdb has been a rat's nest of difficult code due to a million difficult corner cases (even before you take into account all the crazy oddball systems it supports which just increases the complexity combinatorially). By comparison a program like gcc is conceptually "simpler" since the majority of its code base is devoted to the problem at hand (code analysis and generation).

gdb's codebase been continuously painful for as long as I had to deal with it (about the decade before 2000). And 99.99% of my "dealing" with it has been indirect. Yeoman's work was put in by John Gilmore and Stu Grossman in the early-mid 90s both who somehow managed to avoid burning out. My hat is off to Pedro Alves for not only being willing to work on gdb but to tackle gnarly problems.

Just to be clear, pace Shakespeare, I post to praise gdb, not bury it. A debugger is one of the most complex pieces of systems code possible.
There's a big difference between "eventually country X will fall," and "country X will start to decline in the next decade."
