Software for critical infrastructure often handles no/low memory situations in a graceful manner. I've worked on network switch software where we were expected to work indefinitely with zero remaining memory. A single packet drop is unacceptable, at 10-40G line rate. Any new malloc needs to be justified with a design document.

So yeah, average user software can do a lot, it's just that we've given up on reliability and robustness as an industry. That's why sometimes your phone fails to make a 911 call, and sometimes you need to reset your car.

Meta has scrutinized the email, too, noting supposed inconsistencies in the plaintiffs’ claims, including that Clegg started at Meta after the OnlyFans bribery conspiracy allegedly started. In the court filing, Fenix also pointed out that plaintiffs have accused Perrella, but in their complaint, plaintiffs say that wire transfers allegedly sent to Perrella were sent to someone with a similar name at “Cristian Peralta Trust.”
Those are income numbers for specialists (cf. GP's comment "Unless they specialize")

The time to acquire a fellowship seems to be a couple years.

During that the time it takes for a doctor to go through med school, residency and specialist training (after which they would have the income numbers you cited), the FAANG careerist would probably have risen through the ranks and have comparable income numbers anyway.

I see what you're saying, you don't license access to the content though, what's sold is the version (usually). Do you still watch shows on VHS? Should that translate to a 16k Ultrabluraymega stream? Maybe. The NFT thing is interesting. It's just pogs to me, like Gollum consumed by the precious, he can't own it but he can have his name listed as an "owner" in an online distributed database. There's still authorization involved and if it exists it can be revoked.

All said, I'm not too worried about something less than the price of a beer or a good meal. For the record I bought all of Rick and Morty over time (keep in mind this is over a span of 5+ years) and I'm not a huge media consoomer. I do value my time and don't mind compensating creators.

I had a phase where downloading was neat years ago. My compulsion to justify an entitlement need to others work has dwindled to non existence. Most of the new shows aren't interesting or are largely agenda driven, box checking, easy to translate for international audiences crap.
Hmmm, I guess I have to recommend the whole thing in order? I don't have the sense that episodes are very self-contained, they build on each other.

It's kind of daunting to recommend a 50 part lecture series, so maybe just try the first episode and see if it grabs you. Or if you do wanna try out of order, I'm thinking episode 13 is probably what you're looking for.
Interesting, I guess I can understand that approach for non-media-like software (not a great coining, but I mean things like operating system kernels, DBMS, batch accounting jobs, etc.).

That said, I don't see the point of divorcing media-like software (by which I mean at least video games and social media, like Bonfire, and possibly other types of software) from its emotional content. Just as the entire point of a movie or a record is basically only its emotional content, the entire point of using social media software is the emotional content of the interactions with others, right? And, if the emotion is the point of the software, why is it out of bounds to advertise it with that slant? Movie trailers and novel jackets are entirely emotional in their language. Are those somehow bad or immoral?

Or are you simply saying that emotional marketing of software isn't to your personal taste?

Not an attorney and only have passing knowledge, but I'm sure people will correct me if I'm wrong. An inter-company transfer visa (L-1) will only work if your company is operating both in the US and in the foreign country, i.e. it has a subsidiary there. The workers need to work for that subsidiary in a normal labor capacity - think full time employee vs independent contractor. After 1 year passes, they can apply for an L-1. If they just work remotely, based on the arrangement that you have, it might not work.
Building a system that allocates memory once up-front requires up-front thinking.

sqlite apparently has some support for this, although of course you make it more predictable if you control all the code.

https://www.sqlite.org/malloc.html

They even provide some nice math for you to create the fixed size heap!

The problem of dynamic memory allocation, and specifically the problem of a memory allocator breakdown, has been studied by J. M. Robson and the results published as

Missing the end of "- You probably don't want to do a linear-probe for a free item in the table if N is larger than about"
I was using Obsidian pretty hard for a year but I eventually switched over to https://www.ticktick.com/

It turns out I prefer having lists as my primary interface, especially for the mobile side (insert text and press enter, instead of typing "- [x] item").

It does 3 things (all integrated together): lists, notes, and calendar. The "Notes" section is like a mini obsidian mixed in with the lists, but you can also add markdown notes to each individual 'task'. So I use it like a personal knowledge-base, not just for expendable lists.

The calendar integration is also nice. I've combined Obsidian, gCal, and Omnitasks/Todoist into one app.

That said, for pure note taking Obsidian was the best. Especially for coding/work.

Agreed, at my company we have a fairly complex custom reconciliation process set up just to reconcile our stripe billings.

In contrast, reconciling pretty much every other payment processor is relatively straightforward.

> Betfair ... They would probably allow it

I'm not a lawyer, but out of curiosity I did a quick search through their T&Cs.

It seems to be a bit of a grey area.

Section 3 ("APIs") sort of allows it in a half-assed wording kind of way:

- *"Other than your permitted use of Betfair's endorsed API service (referred to above), the use of programmes or software designed to automatically place bets within certain parameters (i.e., "robot" players) is not permitted on any Games"*

Section 18 ("Bots") certainly seems to allow it:

- *"18.10 Some customers make use of programs designed to automatically place bets within certain parameters set by them (e.g., to back or lay at a certain price) ("bots"). These bots may be active in any or all Markets at any time and you should not assume that you can place bets on quiet Markets that will not be automatically matched simply because the Market otherwise appears quiet. Additionally, bot users should be aware that bots might be prone to exploitation by other customers. Users of these programs do so entirely at their own risk."*

Meanwhile, section 12 ("suspicious betting") seems to be very much against the idea:

- 12.1 For the purpose of this clause 12, "suspicious betting" refers to where we have reasonable grounds to believe that a Bet or a number of Bet have been placed in suspicious circumstances. Suspicious betting shall include, but not be limited to:
- 12.1.4 where we have reasonable grounds to suspect that a Bet or a string of connected Bets were placed robotically, by automated means, or otherwise than through the Account holder placing each Bet manually via their Account;
- 12.1.5 where we reasonably believe that you have used unfair external factors or influences connected with the event(s) the subject of any Bet(s);
- 12.2 If we discover or have reason to believe that you have participated in any of the activities described in clause 12.1 (which, as stated in clause 11.2, constitute "Prohibited Activities"), we shall have the rights set out in clause 13.

"Rights as set out in clause 13" being "Suspension or Termination of Your Account by Us".

Clear as mud, really.
> literally in the text

The ladders contain massive amount of criteria, most of which is not de-facto crucial, is weighed against other goals, and – most importantly – is vague enough to be open to interpretation.

For instance, the "fix something that you broke yourself" can be packaged as "quality assurance work that is part of a long term initiative to leverage force multipliers to increase developer velocity". The promo committee and even your manager won't see through it, unless you make it stupidly obvious. Peers won't complain openly to avoid bad vibes (why should they care), so even if there was time for scrutiny (there isn't), there's virtually no paper trail.

In reality, you are seen as proactive, a fixer, someone who takes care of problems when they come up. A good citizen. Some even do this unconsciously, because they overestimate their abilities and over-engineer things that break because it's infeasible to reason about complexity monsters in the first place.
There are Kodachrome presets off the shelf for Lightroom. I did a double-blind test a couple of years back with a few friends who shoot film only and no one could reliably tell the difference. It's another audiophile thing.

Incidentally I still shoot film myself occasionally, Ilford B&W on an old Praktica w/ Zeiss lens. It's slow, painful, I screw up 1/4 of the shots and occasionally destroy a whole roll while developing it. But it's fun. When it's no longer fun, out comes the Z50...

Fantastic update for me.
idea generation being measured as an output of 2 strangers brainstorming on a random product seems too distant from the scenario in which most creative ideas are actually created.

my experience in real-world enviros:

+ no single variable is dominant across all

+ trust can be important and often is easier to build in-person

+ pairs or teams with trust can innovate over any medium

+ a degree of randomness can be helpful and feels underrated to me. it can help us see through blind spots, assumptions, or biases which we didn't realize we had by taking a conversation to a place in which we may not have otherwise taken it, or making us think through a problem in a different way. this randomness can come from many places, including 'outsiders' (experts in other domains is great, but so are newbies)
US isnt outsourcing to sweatshops. China is actually innovating manufacturing and often do things better.
In my experience the best ideas come about when a group of competent people each go off on their own and think deeply about a problem, then talk to each other afterwards about what ideas they have. Often good ideas, particularly to complex problems, come about as fusion of a couple good idea-lets.
i am saying that the example of Gary doesn't prove that Houston ISN'T a thriving city only based on housing costs. you need to use a city that is a bit more comparable to Houston to drive the point that low housing costs don't equate with a successfully run city.

it's a bit like someone arguing that Land Rovers are bad cars because they are built poorly, and then someone else coming in and saying well at least they don't cost the amount that a lamborghini costs, they must be doing something right. and then a third person coming into that argument and saying "well, actually you can't use price because a bicycle costs 200$ and that doesn't mean a bicycle is better than a Land Rover based on price alone" ...the point they're driving could be correct, but the comparison is apples to oranges. you can't compare bicycles to cars to drive the point, just like i wouldn't use Gary to make the argument that low prices does not mean a thriving city. a better argument would be to use something that is comparable to a Land Rover (Houston) like say, a car that is within 10-20k range that does the job but is still largely a piece of crap to argue your point that price alone doesn't dictate success.

This was in fact one of our motivations for static allocation—thinking about how best to handle overload from the network, while remaining stable. The Google SRE book has a great chapter on this called "Handling Overload" and this had an impact on us. We were thinking, well, how do we get this right for a database?

We also wanted to make explicit what is often implicit, so that the operator has a clear sense of how to provision their API layer around TigerBeetle.

> Even a hundred dollars is enough to make people feel an irrational protective attachment to the company.

But anyone with stock investments at this scale is already seeing their portfolio swing a couple hundred dollars on the regular. Regulators also have far more to lose in their career (paying potentially millions over the multi-year course of their tenure) by making the wrong decision than they would by swinging their portfolio a couple hundred bucks on a given day.

We can't realistically demand that all public regulators abstain from investing in, for example, an S&P 500 index fund that holds several percent of Apple stock. If the job came with a requirement that the job holder couldn't invest standard index funds, anyone who knows anything about investing and financial planning would avoid the job at all costs.

There has to be a compromise. You can't demand absolute zero financial interest in things like index funds over the mere chance that someone might make an irrational career-harming move to swing their portfolio a couple hundred bucks.

Propping up the org props up all the unethical schemes. Personal preference to label self as merely looking passed one is gibberish.
Yes, this approach is followed as well, but now you're at the problem of writing a memory allocator by yourself (which might of course turn out to be better for your usecase). So the issue of writing code that avoids allocation still prevails, as now you probably want to know what to allocate memory for, since if you were supposed to make a general purpose allocator, it is likely it won't overperform libc malloc.
gyroscope made of a football, when thrown in a spiral?
While reading the article I got the feeling that this article touched on something much deeper than it meant to. In stories there has often been a artistic, dreamy, head in the clouds type that either delights or confuses the more stolid, logical, sensible and practical other character.

Abbot and Costello, Rabbit and Briar Fox, Dexter and Dee-Dee, Billy and Mandy, Drop Dead Fred and everyone else in that movie, (or anyone in a Yahoo Serious movie other than Yahoo Serious) these dualistic Gemini archetypes are littered throughout western culture, and quite possibly others but I don't know them well enough to bring any popular characters to mind.

I wonder how much of that is caused by the fundamental divide between high and low dopamine functioning people?

Wild, zany, brash and in your face manic lifestyle caused primarily by having a lot of dopamine in your brain? With plenty of people around to facilitate the outcome at least in part because of the attention-seeking nature of the effect?

This makes me long to attempt something similar. It makes me wonder who I would be on a long arc dopamine rush. Would I paint? Would I sing? Would I drive my friends and coworkers wild? Or lose everything in a dopamine fueled fumbling towards ecstasy?

Who knows, but it's intriguing! It's as tempting as a siren song. If someone had those pills in front of me right now I don't know if I could resist trying them.
Terminal.Gui really has become "WinForms-in-the-terminal". A lot of the capabilities borrow from WinForms and other popular GUI frameworks. We're not afraid of plagerising.

I take the point of view of the employees who have been wishing that their underperforming colleague was fired already, and would rather the company not spend money (which could be theirs) on someone who's dragging down the team.

What about that scenario? Not every underperforming employee is the case that you imagine.

> people give direct to the prettiest/most entertaining/most harrowing channel

Donors have always liked this sort of thing, that's why organizations invented "sponsor a child" to give people the experience of direct giving to particular recipients. Mediating it through an organization is probably fairer than this totally disintermediated giving (especially if, in reality, the money is pooled and spent on needy communities), but the impulse has always been there.
I have a folder in syncthing called "logseq". This folder holds the logseq files.
I have logseq-sync on my phone so it syncs the folder. I also have a Cloudserver which is the spoke and all other devices (2 laptops, the phone) sync it.
I think it comes down to team/company preference.

I would really prefer a culture that allowed (at least) 2-8 hours for a larger code review of features. That way you can block time out for it and digest things. A company culture has to allow that. People get reluctant to review the large PRs because they know they have to other work to do.

A bunch of small model/service/repository PRs seems tedious to me. If I want the consider the whole picture, I also have to go back to each PR.
It sounded crazy to me that Dune was shot on digital cameras, converted to analogue film and then digitalized again. It doesn't really make sense in theory, but I loved the end result in IMAX, it felt different to other movies.
Surely that probability should be i x delta(0) x (-i) x delta(0) so, you know, your everyday squared Dirac delta function.
Seems like the author satirically argues against Objectivism by putting up lack of charity and generosity as a straw man characterization to attack. He completely ignores the fact that taxation is collected irrespective of goodwill attitude, and under the threat of force (violence/jail).

I frankly would have hoped the argument was not a straw man and that he argued against the actual essence of the philosophy of Objectivism. Instead of taking the cheap way out to argue against a mere peripheral unfortunate potential consequence of it (when taken to an extreme).
This would be interesting if you could earn interest on "Apple Cash", i.e., money you've got stored on your phone from receiving payments. But it just seems to be some kind of promotional scheme linked to their traditional high-interest credit card product.

I was also kind of sad that Logseq didn't really have a vim-mode.
Minmaxing is not synonymous with grinding. Minmaxing is theorycrafting a game to find the best combinations to make you win the game.
