I appreciate that you're exhorting people to take some initiative to find alternatives to misery. Your contribution is a positive one. So I support that, good job. I apologize in advance for the lack of positivity in the rest of my reply.

But, for me at least, the problem is that the evidence seems to indicate that, in my life at least, you're super wrong. Sure, okay, I'm of above-average intelligence, and able to efficiently reason about complex systems to some degree. It turns out that, although necessary for a great many jobs, they do not alone qualify me for those jobs. I think I'm willing to learn, but sometimes it seems that I'm not particularly able. I did software for most of a decade, including getting a visa to work in Silicon Valley, and it beat me up pretty bad. I like teaching, by which I mean one-on-one conversations or giving lectures, so I have mostly been pursuing that as a career for most of a decade. And it turns out that the job of teaching involves a lot of things other than the act of teaching, and those other things are way worse than software ever was. So now I'm just as miserable, for half as much money. Though at least I DO get to spend about 6 hours of paid time a week doing teaching-the-act, and that's nice. And because I'm so hilariously poorly-paid, I have job security, because every time they look for new hires, almost everyone who applies is obviously incapable, because you have to be a fool to take this job, so that's nice too.

I do think it's worth it for people who feel miserable to try to figure out how to be not-miserable. But as a related comment says, I enjoy food and shelter. At this point I'm torn between the known misery-and-low-pay-but-job-security of teaching, vs throwing myself back into the meat grinder of software development, knowing I'll make twice the money for less hours worked, but probably I'll get abused and fired again.

Is that a superficial argument?
"Accounting for" using e.g. regression techniques is complex guesswork and leaves room for residual confounding. (Just try to imagine how exactly you'd do it in this case!)

There is no perfect solution, but simply excluding problematic data is often the least confounding option.
It's an airshow maneuver. Speed is life. USAF (and presumably other AF's) send out 2 to 4 ship (or if we look at Desert Storm, over 70 ships). If you "stall" or perform this maneuver, whomever is behind you might overshoot, but his or her buddy will nab you.

Check out Stroke 3. This is an F-16 strike on an oil facility in Iraq. Stroke 3 avoided six Iraq (Russian-made) SAMs /without/ deploying any counter measures. Simply amazing to listen to.

And here's a visual illustration of the entire strike package that went out. 76 aircraft as part of Package Q.

Fun (?) fact -- the first strike in Desert Storm was performed by eight Apache attack helicopters with two Pave Low helicopters leading them at NAP of the earth level at nighttime.
Indeed, it's a monster language - every 5 years it looks completely different, but it'll take 15 years to get even the mainstream compilers to implement the changes from 5 years before.

It makes little sense to violate everything we know about language design (esp. regarding simplicity and orthogonality) and the cognitive limitations of humans (esp. developers) and keeping the Frankenstein language alive.

It got hashtables in its standard library only when everyone and their dog had already been forced to implement their own for 15 years!

And STL is so complicated that Stroustroup joked that he couldn't have done it if Alex Stepanov hadn't been able to pull it off. That may be a compliment to Stepanov's intellect, but it isn't a compliment for C++'s design.
Where are these initial votes coming from? They show Bolsonaro about 7% ahead of Lula. But only 1.5% of the vote is in, so I'm guessing it's from more right-leaning areas so far? (given that the polling has consistently showed Lula about 10% head of Bolsonaro in the last couple of months)

Edit: follow-on question: are the other candidates there pulling more from Bolsonaro or Lula?

Edit2: Looks like both Ciro Gomes and Simone Tebet would draw votes form Lula based on the info on them from Wikipedia. They're drawing about 7% of the vote between the two of them so in a runoff between Bolosonaro and Lula so it seems like most of those votes would go to Lula. Still would be very close.

Re: 3 vs 4. I think both the cheaters and the non-cheater followers of this story believe that she was rattled and made a bad move. Even if she was cheating and KNEW his hand, she had no way of knowing that her Jack-high would hold up, unless people believe the entire casino is on in it and she knows all the cards coming.

If we accept that she was rattled, and stressed, and made a rash move, and got away with it, then it's equally believable that in the moment she briefly got confused and remembered the wrong hand. Memory isn't foolproof, and in the emotional decision to decide to call she confused the last 2 hands or ipso-facto justified what she could tell was a terrible decision but needed to cover up with bravado because the game had to continue after this hand.

Once you understand all of the above, it's clear she didn't need to cheat to wind up in this position, and in fact it makes LESS sense.

Correct. As long as the investors lead the sheep they’ll get sheared. It will take a groundswell that is positive rather than what is common worldwide right now.
Rightfully so, those tournaments have very large buy-ins and the cash + prize rewards are pretty great. I get the feeling many other contestants thought they were cheating in previous wins, I am surprised they don't have more advanced measures for detecting cheating. I've seen some people comment that the eyeball test on some of those fish's weights was laughable.

The latest studies show that being vaccinated only reduces the risk of Long Covid by something like 20%. So while the vaccine is good for reducing acute sequelae -- much less hospitalization -- it's not doing that much for the folks who have a seemingly mild case, feel fine after a couple weeks, go back to work....and then 3 months down the line they start feeling awful.

Brain scans of folks with Long Covid are showing brain shrinkage. PET scans are showing many areas of the brain affected.

The only prevention for Long Covid is not getting Covid, and that's still mostly achieved the old-fashioned way with a combination of high-quality masks, ventilation, and air fitration.

The Texas Infectious Disease clinic has been using elastomeric respirators for years with their TB patients -- that's honestly the standard all healthcare workers should be using right now.

>I sometimes wonder: why do we so badly want artists to be able to make a living of their work?

Because art takes time, effort, practice, talent, and the cost of materials. If someone produces something of value, they should be paid for that value. In order to produce art, the artist needs a roof over their head and food in their stomach. As a society, we value it enough to spend millions on it every year.

If you want art made by "people like us", buy it from them. If you don't feel like there is value in work by people who make their living painting or singing, don't buy it.

If you want people to do it for peanuts because that means they're passionate about it, that just shunts them off with teachers, CNAs, social workers, park rangers, and all the other folks doing difficult and demanding work where their compensation doesn't even begin to reflect their effort and the value they bring to society. But they should shut up and smile while they do it because they're passionate about it.

Aren't there VR headsets that do actually perform eye-tracking?

Also is projection on a retina is a thing? I thought there were prototypes at least that did that. I heard of such thing from people at MIT or maybe I misunderstood what they meant back then (some 5-6 years ago?)

I did some very basic work with pupil dilation tracking using IR and it's gotta be RGB cameras or you'll just burn your eyes out (or it will feel that way anyways)
> the cure for discrimination is at the very minimum adequate public funding for primary and secondary education _everywhere_

So how does increasing the funding of poor white students advance Kendi's "anti-racist" program, precisely?

Clearly there's no logical link between the two concepts of discrimination and government school funding, at best a historical one and where I live, government schools get way more funding per pupil ($10k more) than private school tuition. But that doesn't make the government schools good, as a rule.

Also, bugs in software are seen as a fact of life. You can't get warranty on software (at least this holds in practice for most consumers). If MacOS deletes all your files, good luck proving that it wasn't your fault, and good luck suing Apple.

So this gives programmers a carte blanche to create crap, effectively.

> I don’t recall there being a successful Emacs port to classic Mac OS — I would have been very interested in the early to mid 90’s.

Correct. Apple had emacs removed from A/UX because it took up too much space. Though some built it on their Macs in the late 1980s, it didn't have full functionality, at least not without headaches.[1] But A/UX came with vi, which worked well.

I don't but I doubt there is evidence to the contrary either. So any positing requires considering both sides as being the chances current evidence provides.

There is actually an older demo still on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYcrQswVcnA&t=10s (full presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCZLll1l92g)

The technique called "dual gaze" in the article has some similarity to some of the stuff we were doing. This was long before that paper was published, and I think there were several aspects of our design that were better than the one in that paper.
Code signing requires you to buy certificates, but that's the sort of thing you can delegate to a non-technical assistant as it mostly involves filling out forms, getting access to the corporate credit card and/or receiving phone calls. In very large organizations you probably have code signing certs already and will need to find who has access to them, although there's no theoretical reason why you can't have different departments independently buy certificates for the same organization.

The bigger pain, and one reason why desktop apps became less popular, is that with the rise of macOS and (to some extent) Linux, you need to distribute your app to three platforms all of which use different code signing technologies and approaches, none of which are portable/standards based or convenient. Also, software update was ignored by platform vendors.

Nowadays things are a bit different. Windows got MSIX, which is a real package manager and which can silently upgrade apps in the background on a schedule even if they're currently running. macOS has the widely used Sparkle framework for updates and of course Linux has had updating package managers for a long time.

Up until recently it was still a pain to actually use all those technologies, even though maybe developing your {JVM,Electron,Flutter,native,etc} app was itself quite pleasant and easy. My company has made a tool to fix that [1] and so you can now build self-updating Windows/Mac/Linux packages from your app files and all the signing is handled for you locally. It's an abstraction over the platform-native distribution technologies designed with an obsessive focus on being as simple as web app distribution is.

Making this stuff easy in turn opens up possibilities for (re)simplifying the dev stack. For example, in some cases you could now make an app that just logs in directly to your RDBMS. No need for a backend/frontend, REST, JSON, web server frameworks, giant JS transpiler pipeline etc. Just use a real GUI toolkit and connect it directly to the output of queries. Any privacy or business logic can be implemented this way using a mix of row-level security [2], security-definer stored procedures [3] and RDBMS server plugins (e.g. [4] or [5]). There are lots of nice things about this, for example, it eliminates a lot of nasty security bugs that are otherwise hard to get rid of (XSS, XSRF, SQLi etc).

It's just a matter of a specialization. You were a backend app engineer who wasn't specialized in containers and cloud deployments. You shouldn't be expected to know everything in the software engineering landscape. The same way you're a patent attorney now and aren't expected to practice criminal law.

Another measure might be the extent to which it leads to an unequal distribution of knowledge. Censorship can be seen as means of preventing misinformation, and sometimes quite effective at that, but a potential negative byproduct is limiting the output of (interpretable) factual information.
Some people are easier to bully than others.

I paid for college partly through poker. Early in my career I used speech play to tilt a guy and get him to call when he shouldn’t, winning a big pot.

The guy was furious and cornered me afterwords, yelling “we don’t do that here. You better give me my fucking money back!” And so on.

I was 19 and not used to defending myself against angry adult men and I gave him the money back, despite definitely not having to.

I wouldn’t do that now, but if you have a loud angry man yelling at you, it’s definitely possible to just want it to stop.

(And I’m six two and was heavy into martial arts at the time.)

In a system already designed to handle the sudden and possibly permanent loss of a single machine to hardware failure, those are nice to have at best. "Panic" doesn't have to mean not executing a single other instruction. Logging e.g. over the network is one of the things a system might do as part of its death throes, and definitely was for the last few such systems I worked on. What's important is that it not touch storage any more, or issue instructions to other machines to do so, or return any more possibly-corrupted data to other systems. For example, what if the faulty machine itself is performing block reconstruction when it realizes the world has turned upside down? Or if it returns a corrupted shard to another machine that's doing such reconstruction? In both of those scenarios the whole block could be corrupted even though that machine's local storage is no longer involved. I've seen both happen.

Since the mechanisms for ensuring the orderly stoppage of all such activity system-wide are themselves complicated and possibly error-prone, and more importantly not present in a commodity OS such as Linux, the safe option is "opt in" rather than "opt out". In other words, don't try to say you must stop X and Y and Z ad infinitum. Instead say you may only do A and B and nothing else. That can easily be accomplished with a panic, where certain parts such as dmesg are specifically enabled between the panic() call and the final halt instruction. Making that window bigger, e.g. to return errors to clients who don't really need them, only creates further potential for destructive activity to occur, and IMO is best avoided.

Note that this is a fundamental difference between a user (compute-centric) view of software and a systems/infra view. It's actually the point Linus was trying to get across, even if he picked a horrible example. What's arguably better in one domain might be professional malfeasance in the other. Given the many ways Linux is used, saying that "stopping is not an option" is silly, and "continuing is not an option" would be equally so. My point is not that what's true for my domain must be true for others, but that both really are and must remain options.

P.S. No, stopping userspace is not stopping everything, and not what I was talking about. Or what you were talking about until the narrowing became convenient. Your reply is a non sequitur. Also, I can see from other comments that you already agree with points I have made from the start - e.g. that both must remain options, that the choice depends on the system as a whole. Why badger so much, then? Why equivocate on the importance (or even meaningful difference) between kernel vs. userspace? Heightening conflict for its own sake isn't what this site is supposed to be about.

I do feel like git-lfs is a good solution. Once you have 10s or 100s of GB of files (eg. a computer vision project), this gets pretty pricey.

Ideally I'd love to use git-lfs on top of S3, directly. I've looked into git-annex and various git-lfs proxies, but I'm not sure they're maintained well enough to be trusting it with long-term data storage.

Huggingface datasets are built on git-lfs and it works really well for them for storage of large datasets. Ideally I'd love for AWS to offer this as a hosted thin layer on top of S3, or for some well funded or supported community effort to do the same, and in a performant way.

If you know of any such solution, please let me know!
