High-end houses aren’t square in the same way that a normal house is square: often they’ll be open plan, where rooms join together through shared spaces that are all sorts of shapes. A better description of the consistency amongst property is “straight” walls.

If you spend much time looking at high-end real estate, you’ll encounter much more than just the standard square rooms you would see in the average house, but ultimately, they’re still square(ish) because straight walls are convenient and practical.
> Nothing in Lisp requires pointers in either half of a cons cell.

You are definitely right about that, but the initial claim was made about "Lisp list", for which cdr is certainly a pointer. I would expect that when we refer to "Lisp lists", we certainly don't include things like (cons 1 2)

Agreed, last drawer I bought from them I shoved activated charcoal bags in for over a week and left the drawers open, eventually they stopped smelling.

Also the quality of their press board / chip board has dropped dramatically over the years. 20 years ago items in the Malm line were a lot heavier and could survive multiple moves. Last time I picked up a piece of a Malm bed, it felt nearly hollow.
"Eating" chickens aren't nearly that heavy. I don't know about egg-laying chickens.

We usually eat animals that are "children" or "adolescents", because they are more tender or taste better.

The article mentions that Costco's rotissery chickens are 3lbs.
I'd be glad to know about these $200-300k positions. I must be applying to the wrong places - I keep hearing that my current base of 187k as a Senior SWE is out of their range.
I agree, visually parsing things that are all on one line is more difficult than it needs to be. Putting separate things on separate lines is preferable.
I tend to agree. What goes up often comes down. The same company that may reduce staff by 20% may have seen revenue growing at 40% in the last year but suddenly sees growth tapering off, and as such, re-evaluate that they've over-hired and have to adjust accordingly.

And as fast as companies hire (which people celebrate), companies can quickly layoff too (which we lament).

So just as it is normalized to do fast-hiring, such is the case for fast-layoffs/firings.
Thank you for the reply. That makes sense… I guess something about me just likes the purity of running the exact same container on my local machine as would be in prod, but yeah I agree that at some scale that doesn't work.

I think you're setting yourself for another massive disappointment if you think nVidia will sell those at any kind of lower price in the future.

Because that's the issue isn't it? Everyone wanting for nVidia to just sell those chips for less?

They'll slap 4070Ti or something on it and sell it to you for the same price.

Certainly you can understand why people thought they did though, right?
This is not particularly surprising, lack of sleep causes an increase in dopamine (the theory is that the brain tries to "compensate"). There was a very recent episode on the Huberman Lab podcast on using this to "reset" the circadian rhythm and depression (to some extent).
"They knew that in its representation to the laity, what was happening to them was systematically sanitized and Norman Rockwellized, not to mention Disneyfied."

The author seems to have little understanding of how much this was true of World War 1, or probably every large scale war ever. The home audiences for news reports in World War 1 (in pretty much every country) were not allowed to know how FUBB'd things were, and it was only after the war ended and troops went back home that the word partially got out. There were governments that did not let troops go on home leave for long periods because they didn't want them talking to the civilian population.

I don't think this was something unique about World War 2.
Your view on "the way of life" is so superficial.

Yes, we all breathe, eat and die. Day to day things are different. Interactions are different. Food is different. The time you spend between work and sleep is different.

Saying that "the way of life" is the same between South of India and the US is completely laughable.

Those long, straight-line convoys of Starlink satellites are fascinating. There's a few of them I could see scattered around the Earth. At what point do they start breaking up into unrelated orbits?

Looking forward to using this website to try spotting satellites at night. There's something strangely thrilling about seeing objects in the night sky that were placed there by people.
I'm no Musk fan but is this true? I thought Starlink was low altitude so everything would fall back down pretty quickly. And while I imagine its not great for astronomy surely it's not much work for some institution or enterprising individual to create a tool for using the known position and timing of such satellites to help remove their impact on images?
This sounds like the new "disease" of "sudden adult death syndrome". [1]

One cause that's explicitly unmentioned is the mass rollout of experimental mRNA shots.

that's an example, sure, but the original claim was that "lisp lists have two pointers to pointers", which certainly is not always true.
No they can't, they're allowed to look THROUGH open doors and windows and use what they SEE as probable cause.

That's a FAR cry from being able to use the EXISTENCE of an open door or window as probable cause ITSELF.
I think so. I’ve searched on YouTube, and I cloud find any video from Apple Employees talking about life at Apple.

Maybe I just didn’t search hard enough.
If you divide the cost of the card by the pixel fill rate, the 4090 is a bargain.
All cops are bastards. A belief that the institution of policing as we’ve built it is completely broken, and can’t be fixed by better training or weeding out bad apples.
when I say 'if you are the owner', I mean if you are the owner, the people who work for you (even if family) are employees, and anything you do in regards to the business should be with that scope. And that should be their scope as well. in terms of the business, its an employee company relationship.

Obviously if you own a business, you are much more vested in its success
You charge enough to discourage the behavior. Evidently, a smaller amount did not suffice.
Let me be clear and say that "living like Texans" is a shorthand for a first-world standard of living, with maybe a touch of extravagance thrown in. I'm not advocating that everyone do in fact live like Texans if they don't want to! People should be free to live like monks if they want.

But actual people on the ground, especially if that ground is in places that aren't as developed, do in fact want higher standards of living. I do not see myself as having the moral authority to tell them that they cannot have it because of environmental reasons. I'd rather leave it up to them to decide whether they want to "drill, baby, drill" now and live with the possibility of facing the music later, or keep living in huts.
Porn was perhaps a bad example because I don’t think evidence suggests conclusively that it is addictive.

But take gambling.. gambling is considered addictive and its disorder classified in the DSM-5. (Gambling is probably also most like TikTok/Instagram in terms of activating reward seeking and pleasure in the brain).
In the US we do heavily regulate gambling and some legislations have required warning labels for the risks involved with gambling.

So no, if would not be unreasonable to me if we as a society discussed potentially regulating social media in some way.. be it as non-invasive as warning messaging.
To your point, one of the more fascinating details about John Nash from Nassar’s book ‘A Beautiful Mind’ was that this very trait set him apart from a number of his contemporaries. He was capable of focusing on problems for what appeared to be quite a bit longer than most, systematically breaking down the barriers that would’ve turned another person toward some other pursuit.
Can you point me to some papers? I'm quite curious since I do something adjacent but with fluids.
I think you’ve perfectly covered why such a protection is lacking.

I seem to recall that law enforcement has a higher rate of sociopathy than the average. Let me find a reference/double check myself.

I found this[0] which on a cursory reading doesn't seem to support the above. There was also a pop-sci book[1] which seems to argue the above, but I don't know how much weight I put behind it (and I'm not curious enough to get the book and look for references.)

Does anyone know of any data or research to support or refute the claim "law enforcement has a higher rate of sociopathy than the general population"?

This meditation on World War II and memory is probably my favorite essay ever:

"Losing the War" by Lee Sandlin

Sandlin refers to Fussell's writings on the war too. It's long, but every time I look it up I end up re-reading all of it.
Maybe they already have a list of individuals that they want to hire, and they are trying to write the job requisition to fit those individuals' backgrounds.
Thanks for taking the time to reply. Yeah ideally we always use real resources to mirror prod closely, but I see your point that that won’t always be possible as the app grows.
Coming up with euphemisms is my hobby. No one can tell when I'm being mean now.

disgusting food -> interesting and unique flavor profile

bad movie -> the director made decisions that challenge audience expectations

take your crazy pills -> I had not heard of that before

and of course the Southern classic

you idiot -> bless your heart (this one doesn't really work anymore because people know it)

Edit: I remembered another one:

I don't see any of these fixes in 5.19.14; in fact, Fedora has just released a 5.19.15 with these fixes manually applied on top of it. The stable release with these fixes will probably be 5.19.16.
I only saw one blue dot while looking around (briefly on a laggy computer, so there are probably plenty of others): "L6188942", which you can isolate in the view by searching for it. https://www.n2yo.com/database/?id=81078#results shows there are no results for the "NORAD ID" for that same object.

I don't have any domain knowledge here, so can't argue either way, but one possibility I can imagine is it's a place holder for "somebody launched something and we just don't have the records yet". No clue how realistic that is, and I'd trust my sibling comment's explanation more, but it wouldn't shock me if it takes time for info to propagate.
Yeah, there's a lot of objects being rendered on screen. My GPU (3090 Ti) was running at about 41% while I was playing with the site. Amazing site, but definitely GPU intensive.
I understand your point, but I disagree with it.

Just like there are different versions of "good" leaders and "good" workers in any given field, there are different types of "good" in sports.

Similarly, sports has a much more straight-forward rewards system; score a point, prevent the opponent from scoring, immediate result and reward.

For anything technology related, the action => reward system tends to be far more delayed and requires a different approach and type of patience. Whether it's Devops, Programming, Administration, or Support, even if you do everything right, the reward might be delayed or sullied by negative rewards. (e.g., network is never fast enough for users, it's still too complex to use your program, the solution is just not desired by the user)

Again I do understand the premise of your statement, and for some situations I can agree there is crossover, but my experience in hiring for technical positions is that sports participation has been a non-factor at best. Too often, it's been a negative one because the rewards for technology related challenges tend to be very delayed or difficult for the participant to recognize. Success in Technology is very personal and goes beyond the tangible result, and instead is a victory of the self as you grow intellectually and better understand something. This does happen in sports also (you train yourself to recognize openings that maybe didn't exist for you before or you couldn't act on due to physical limitations), but there are other rewards that make sports more compelling.
> don't (or didn't, last I checked) have a cryptography review board the way Google does,

Exactly my point. Every company follows standard security policies. But for a company like Microsoft, given the responsibility it has and the profits it makes and the amount of money it’s executives make is it unreasonable to expect more?
cops are gonna cop, basically. the control of others is the point.
Neat! Would love to see this format of plugins continue to grow. Can't wait to see what's next.

On that topic - as someone who is a novice programmer at best, but super interested in music tech, are there good resources for getting my feet wet with plugin development? Even if it's creating something as basic as a VCV Rack Module or a simple filter, I would love to be able to use something I built myself in a track.
> In the US, there is no stigma to losing your job via a reduction in force

Sorry, I could have been more clear here. I meant the loss of social relationships either at the company or by potentially having to move neighbourhood/city.

> The VC funded company I worked for literal had no money when it was bought out for pennies. I was one of the people doing pitch decks to potential acquirers and in the room for the technical interviews with them.

Most companies have at least some assets when they wind down. Putting employee obligations first simply means that any value derived from the liquidation is first used to settle that debt rather than other creditors.

If there were unpaid wages, then at some point the people running that company continued requiring their employees' labour despite knowing they couldn't keep their end of the contract. Some exceptions might be justifiable for smaller companies but I think we're far too lenient on people who knowingly steal from employees.

Most tech workers can deal with unpaid wages but I've seen it happen to bar and restaurant workers that aren't in as secure a position. The owners wind down the company and leave wages unpaid while immediately creating a new one in the same unit.
Yes, back in August warehouses already has stocks of RTX 40xx cards.

This "reverse" has nothing to do with yields, nVidia (rightfully) realized it's better to avoid a shitstorm because this 4080 12GB version is ~30% slower than the "real" 4080.
The author was a veteran of WW2.

Similar here. 2000/2001(?), I was talking about the bus factor with a client, indicating that I'd brought on a couple more folks on my team - one part time, one full time, to avoid the bus factor.

"what do you mean?"

"oh, in case I get hit by a bus"

Silence.

Someone in their company had been hit by a bus and died a couple weeks earlier. Not in their department - it wasn't a direct friend/colleague - but it was... awkward enough that I didn't use that phrase again for a long time. And even when I do, I tend to catch myself before and rephrase it.
Sometimes even an unskilled job is better than no job, to at least have some income to work with, even if some debts have to wait. It gives you a tool to negotiate those debts far better than with no income at all. And once you are ready (maybe now), the Dave Ramsey materials can help prepare for the next financial down period (we all have ups and downs of different kinds).

Also, I would consider contacting https://www.latterdaysaintjobs.org/ers/ct/?lang=eng (you do not have to be a Church member) and follow their program for employment, very diligently. I gather that they are good at it.

Not about war, but the same author's Class: A Guide Through the American Status System, published in 1983, is insightful and very entertaining.

Incidentally, if anyone knows of a worthy successor, I'd love to read it. His observations remain remarkably accurate in most cases (his completely-off take on "Class X" notwithstanding) but there must be more to say on the topic since then.
For spotting satellites at night, try my site: https://james.darpinian.com/satellites/

Most of the satellites shown on the Leolabs site are too dim to see without a telescope because they don't reflect enough light. My site calculates brightness and filters down to the ones that you can see with the unaided eye.

There are still quite a few! ISS in particular is very bright and can even be seen before sunset. The new Chinese space station Tiangong is also a good one to try. In the next few weeks it's expected that the recently launched BlueWalker-3 will become quite bright too as it expands its enormous phased array antenna (64 square meters!). But the coolest is probably if you can catch a recently launched Starlink train, 50 satellites all visible simultaneously or within seconds of each other. (A few weeks after launch the Starlink satellites are no longer visible as they reach their operational orbits.)
We need "Space Roombas"™

Starlink was first but what happens when a dozen companies eventually want to put up their own 10,000 low-orbit satellites?
But part of me is somewhat happy that the dude in question is NOT so intelligent...because i sure don't want smarter criminals, and worse yet, don't want smarter criminal cops! I want criminals and criminal cops easier to catch! (Of course, i also feel, that we as a society need to figure out how to best ensure criminals and criminal cops don't get created in the first place...or at least minimize such creation as much as possible.)
I'd suspect someone who was self-taught in mathematics wouldn't have a disconnect between apparent and actual ability either; teaching math to people who primarily need it to pass an exam is a very different process from learning the same material out of personal interest.
> The formal definition isn't clear on exactly what process is necessary to target a new environment

I'm interested in the source of this "formal definition", because it doesn't really match anything I have come across over the years.

> typically you are adding the environment specific aspects in #ifdef-type directives

Not really, more like writing platform-specific parts as separate modules. Of course you can write Java for Android and Objective C for iOS in the same file if you really want, but it doesn't make much sense. Or even write a compiler that takes a source file with target-specific paths and transpiles to Java and Objective C if you want to go all in. I've never seen anyone do that.
> The absolute zero macrostate includes all configurations of particles that will cause the thermometer to read 0. The probability of this macrostate occuring is quite low.

"Let's say those balls all have a random initial velocity at a random direction but all those balls are initially positioned near one corner in the cube. Thus the balls from a position stand point start with low entropy."

In every single initial configuration the particles will be at some distance from the thermometer and will cause it to read 0 according to you reasoning (until some time passes). I guess they all correspond to the same "absolute zero macrostate".

What I still don't see is how do you calculate the entropy using Gibbs entropy formula in such a way that the entropy is lower or higher for some initial configuration depending on the position of the particles. Gibbs entropy is not a property of the microstate - it's a property of the macrostate.
“Minimum wage” is fiction. There are many countries (including European countries) that do not have minimum wage. It doesn’t have any base in reality, and people should not accept such ridiculous salaries. That’s what unions and labor negotiations are for.

> stunned - they shouldn't be, given Google's product history

I disagree, a slight thing but worthwhile disagree, I think useful to remaining an integrated and active human: the premise that there is a "should not" about being stunned presumes feeling surprise is somehow bad, a "should not." It's okay to be stunned.

Feelings can be inconvenient and wrong / only part of the picture. And you I assume want a deterministic life. SO, learn to cope with feelings.

Generally, accept feelings and reactions as a part of existence. Otherwise you (human) will start to ignore your feelings and get neurotic.
The hp zbook has an AMD discrete GPU option, and the thinkpad P16 has an Intel ARC discrete GPU option. These will likely be better for linux than nvidia, but it's still not ideal. Dell also let you configure 7670 without a discrete GPU. This may also be OK for basic stuff, but it's hard to justify the price premium with such a mediocre GPU over a regular laptop.
to be clear, this isn't my take.
