> How has Chomsky's strategy worked?

It's worked incredibly well. The United States - the country with easily some of the most well protected free speech laws - continues to be one of the most diverse and welcoming countries in the world. It's one of the most desired places for people to immigrate to, and continues to have a large foreign born population. By comparison, look at how a single digit percentage influx of foreigners rattled Europe. When racists do gather it usually results in plummetting support for their causes. This was the case with the Unite the Right rally: following the rally support for the movement dropped considerably.

By what metric has Chomsky's strategy failed? You seem to be postulating this as fact, without anything backing it up.
> What about a medical procedure that WILL kill the patient if interrupted? What about life support in space? Hitting an assert in those kinds of systems is a very bad place to be, but an automatic halt is worse than at least giving the people involved a CHANCE to try and get to a state where it's safe to take the system offline and restart it.

Kinda a strawman there. That's got to account for, what, 0.0001% of all use of computers, and probably they would never ever use Linux for these applications (I know medical devices DO NOT use Linux).
I’ve been toying with basically the same concepts. It’s fun.

My preference has been to use SVG for the links (independent of whether the strokes are done raster or SVG). It’s not fundamentally any more expressive, but it’s much more convenient for a number of techniques like adding background colour or link underlines (I found changing only text colour with mix-blend-mode unsatisfactory), and links that span a line break.

Here’s a snapshot of roughly where I last left this a few months ago. (I’ve had to substitute in an inferior document, as I was working with a lined-paper prose document that I’m not willing to share at this time. It works better with that type of content.) You can see that I’ve leaned into the pagination, styling it more paperily, and also that there’s a fairly significant overload of SVG filters which tend to ruin performance. I’ll pare that down significantly if I go ahead with it. (Still keeping some of the page-edge and maybe link shape roughness, but with a simpler paper texture.)

https://temp.chrismorgan.info/2022-10-03-hand-drawn-with-lin... (almost 800KB because the pen uses a variable-width stroke and my SVG generation for that isn’t particularly optimised because I’ve skimped on some of the fancier trigonometry involved—but I should note that it’s much more accurate than the “lots of short line segments” approach used by every existing .rm-to-.svg library I found).

Also if I go ahead with this, I’ll use the colour support that came in version 2.13 of the reMarkable system software, drawing my hyperlinks in blue from the start and reserving some highlighter colour if I want the background shading. Using distinct colours like this will make identifying and marking up links mechanically straightforward (since all the strokes in a given layer appear in draw order), leaving only the entry of the URL.

One other thing about the presentation on this site: the image scales to the viewport width, which is very, very not good: it means that regular desktop-style zoom (most importantly zoom out) just doesn’t work. The most common desktop screen sizes are getting the equivalent of a body font-size in excess of 50px (three times what is generally reasonable). You should add something like `.post { width: 40em }` which fixes the problem without causing any other trouble.
The Space industry is very volatile at this point. The business models are few and very expensive. I am not saying that Space X should have a blank check for anything they want to do but they should be given a small safety net and the benefit of the doubt. They have proven that they are able to advance the technology so they should be helped should they fall into trouble. Additionally, the alternative is to let the government do it. Either way the money will be spent. I think it's best to let an entrepreneurial company like Space X decide how best deploy the money at this time.
It's really weird.

I keep seeing claims that Rust users are insufferable and claim that Rust protects against everything. But, as someone who has started using Rust around 0.4, I have never seen these insufferable users.

I know you asked for other answers, but sincerely, I think any solution you'll find will be a temporary band-aid.

You cannot exist in an environnement where you feel used, where you dread social interactions and where you find the whole structure of the job baffling and inefficient.

You have outgrown this job, and you need to find another one. If I were you, I would look around either for similar jobs or for jobs that are just a little over your current capabilities.

I've found that these feelings of being very critical of your environnenent come from being underchallenged and understimulated.

As unnerving as this sounds, and as dumb as this comment is, have fun with it! I'm sure you are a competent and intelligent person. Just bet on yourself, and look for a way to safely find another job.

There is no shame in going on welfare for a bit to look for better work. It's your money! :)
The better metaphor is if there’s always a safety net it doesn’t matter whether you stay on the tight rope. You can give up whenever you want.

It’s from a prospective study [1] so the hope is No, as long as the study follows people and their habits for long enough.

Edit: the first men in this study were enrolled in the mid 80s. I always have lots of respect for scientists starting such very long run initiatives. I would imagine it to be boring at times, but hard work begets hard data.

What is equity if not equality then? (Honest question, as I just assumed it was equality as generally that's something we've been historically striving for.)
I understand his point. I just disagree, and prefer a different tradeoff.

Yes, a kernel panic will cause disruption when it happens. But that will also give a precise error location, which makes reporting and fixing of the root cause easier. It could be harder to pinpoint of the code rolled forward in broken state.

It will cause loss of unsaved data when it happens, but OTOH it will prevent corrupted data from being persisted.

I guess I'm not sure why you doubt that. The standards are pretty clear that "does not advance SPSP's goal of promoting equity, inclusion, and anti-racism" is a failing grade on the DEI section, and that anti-racism in particular is not merely a thing the conference does but a core component of their identity. I'm sure if you sat down with them, they wouldn't frame it as abandoning anything; they would tell you that social psychology inherently touches on diversity and authors who believe their papers are unrelated should maybe think a bit harder about it.

Funnily enough, I worked for IBM marketing (my first job, for a short while) in 1984.

One of our jobs was to demo System/36 - one of IBM's minis - which might have been replaced by an 801 system had they taken it up.

One of my colleagues went through the demo with a room of customers. At the end he asked for questions. Straight away a hand went up.

I think it's worth noting that DVC can be used to track artifacts that have been generated by other tools. For example, you could use MLFlow to run several model experiments, but at the end track the artifacts with DVC. Personally I think that this is the best way to use it.

However I agree that in general it's best for smaller projects and use cases. for example, it still shares the primary deficiency of Make in that it can only track files on the file system, and now things like ensuring a database table has been created (unless you 'touch' your own sentinel files).

There are a multitude of groups doing that, but they're not equally dangerous now. The problem is that the hard right has control of the Republican Party. The hard left does not have control of the Democratic Party. If US democracy falls in the next few years, it's almost guaranteed to be because of the hard right.

Q: Who gets to define "relatively harmless"?

"Advocating for peace" sounds pretty harmless, yet if you dare to mention any specifics - at least this year - it seems supporting it is deemed anything but harmless. Before my time, but seems the same applied in 1964 – 1973.

You can weigh the anonymity into your own subjective assessment of the believability of this anecdote of course.

But there's valid reasons, from personal safety to managing career prospects, for anybody to keep information about their personal identity detached from online accounts where they might reveal potentially damaging personal information.

We don't need OP's personal identity to know that Facebook and other mega-corporations are utterly despicable sad sacks of shit when it comes to customer service and decent behavior.

It doesn't continue silently, it warns. More accurately, it does what you tell it to, which can also be a hard stop if you want to.

It's up to you to choose the right failure strategy and monitor your system if you don't want to panic, and take appropriate measures and not just ignore the warning.

It's not Linus who sounds ignorant here, it's the people applying user-space "best practices" to the kernel. If the kernel panics, the system is dead and you've lost the opportunity to diagnose the problem, which may be non-deterministic and hard to trigger on purpose.
> some serious work. The classic argument is really that they should be censored so they can't easily organise and kill us.

There's a difference between words and actions. Words fo not kill. No, words are not violence no matter how much people try to claim otherwise.

Furthermore, censoring people does nothing to reduce a groups ability to kill. Taking away someone's public voice does not take away their capacity to carry out violence. Disinviting a speaker or banning a book does not magically make people's guns disappear.

Men are being held up to unreasonable emotional standards in general. No weakness, no crying, no feeling like shit ever.

These standards lend more and more credence to the thing that Chris Rock said, "Only women and children are loved unconditionally. Men need to provide something to be loved."

Of course, these standards are being enforced by men too, not just women. But it does not surprise me that so many men I know have checked out of one or more aspects of life.
The best way to fix an under performing team is to reduce it's size. Split the team, move some people to another team, etc. It doesn't have to be about firing people and that actually should be a last resort. 2 is alright as a size. 3-4 is great. 5-7 can still work, anything over that is probably too large. You get all sorts of issues with big teams including increased communication and meeting overhead, scope creep (because those people need to be busy), too many captains on the ship and the resulting conflicts, etc. Most of that goes away if you split teams and allow them to focus. Small teams get more done faster. It's better to have 2 or 3 small teams than 1 large team. Don't have managers in the team, just tech leads. Product management is a cross team function. Not having a lot of team managers makes it easier to move people around as well. That's a good thing and you can adapt dynamically to changing circumstances and needs.

Big companies have a tendency to hire new people rather than to consider moving people that they have and trust already around because it's easier. Managers derive status from their team size and are protective of keeping their team members, especially the ones that get things done. This dynamic results in a lot of negative behavior and this weird dynamic of people being treated like generic resources that are literally hoarded. You get this ego driven empire building where the loudest managers get the biggest teams and the largest budgets.

This results in a lot of people ending up in the wrong place for the wrong reasons. And the resulting problems are fixed by hiring more people. If the company is big enough, you get teams literally engineering around other teams. And then inevitably after a few years somebody realizes that they have too many people and they start firing people. This actually makes the problem worse because the best people won't wait for that to happen and leave by themselves and of the ones that remain some get fired and the remaining people are probably demoralized.

DVC is expressly for tracking artifacts that are files on disk, and only by comparing their MD5 hashes. So it can definitely track the parquet files, but you are not going to get row or field diffs or anything like that.

Companies mostly don't just have spare lawyers sitting around waiting for work to come in. Furthermore, if something were to go to court, outside counsel would likely get involved in any case. So, yes, there are costs associated with law suits even if you have some in-house staff.

Does the sauna provide a significantly different outcome to a hot shower?
I don't know that I'd use the term abuse, but the basic idea is that there are things called odds ratios (Bayes' theorem looks especially convenient with them!) as distinct from things called probabilities... The distinction is precisely this one, that probabilities are implicitly normalized to 100% total while odds you're supposed to sum everything together and divide.

And then the point is just that we typically condition people to treat percentages as probabilities rather than odds. So you would have said something like 50:33:1:0.3 in “odds speak” for flour:water:salt:yeast in the dough mixture discussed in OP. But bakers instead communicate “:66:2:0.6” with the first number always implicitly being 100 (great), and they then use the % symbol (slightly confusing).

Because they never say “flour: 100%” an unsuspecting novice might think that a 60% hydration dough is ~40% flour by mass, mix this together to form a 150%-hydration mixture, and wonder why the only thing that they can make with it is some sort of pancakes.
I am becoming more sympathetic to this, too. Real liberals (not necessarily leftists, although perhaps so) need to start punching back, hard. Slippery slopes are real and we're on one.

Panic corresponds to a potential logic bug. If you have a logic bug, you already risk its consequences even if the panic didn't happen. As long as panic can be caught (and in Rust, it's indeed the case) it is safer than the alternative.

My advice would be to add more pillars to your life (for a lack of a better term):

If you only have work in your life (I am non-judgementally assuming that is the case, sorry if I am wrong), your life will be awesome if work is going great, and hell if it is not. By adding more pillars in the form of hobbies, sports, romance, friendships, side projects, you increase the chance of turning a “my work sucks” into “my work sucks but my training for sport XYZ has been going pretty great recently”. And maybe later it is the opposite way around.

I call those things pillars because they help you bear the weight of your life. The more and the stronger, the easier the load.
