not the person you are responding to, but I think they meant dystopian as in the "vibe" of the place. For example, many housing projects in France (where I live), tend to be basically large concrete rectangles, with very little green space. When compared to posher neighborhoods, with lots of trees everywhere, this can seem a little claustrophobic/totalitarian/dystopian. It feels like a less "human friendly" environment than you stereotypical suburb with front lawns.

>But that's the classic conundrum - people are working to fix a problem and you come in and say "No, no, don't fix that problem, fix this problem instead".

That's a complete strawman, nobody is saying that. People are pointing out the hypocrisy. The only problems in society that get widespread attention and support, are problems that impact women.

So no, if you want to be taken seriously then there would need to be parity in how these issues are treated.
Yes, this is correct. Some employers are even willing to start the green card process before the H-1B is even selected in the lottery. But whether that's a good idea depends on the specifics of each employee's travel plans and current immigration status.

It is worded funny in the quote. In the context of the entire article, the author is clearly saying that the "speed and and competitive pressure" are the casual factor for it becoming unsafe (i.e., given the requirement of going fast by higher ups, it is necessary to be unsafe).

So he's implying that if they weren't so focused on speed and competitive pressure it could be more safe. There's where I get "unnecessarily unsafe" from, because in the author's perspective it's not necessary to prioritize speed and competition over safety. My point is that I don't think it's obviously unsafe at all, or at least could use some statistics to support his argument that it is.
JSON.stringify is outputting the "own, enumerable" properties. The default properties of window.navigator aren't enumerable and/or come through the prototype chain.

Near-zero is a bit loose. It keeps a relatively compact in-memory representation. You’re about right with your estimate. Having measured just now, it’s about 30mb for 1 million directories.

The baseline Watcher’s efficiency has a wide spread. When there are many thousands of nested subdirectories, the CPU approaches the limit of the thread it’s on. Flatter directories, or many files without nested subdirectories, do not have nearly as much of an effect. I’ve seen it run on around 10 million paths on a very flat test directory.

So, near-zero is somewhat misleading. There’s a wide spread in efficiency. It was my judgement that deeply nested directory trees were far less common in practice then, so I wrote “near-zero” in the optimistic case.

It uses polling under the hood (at least, I’m sure it does. It uses whatever std::filesystem uses, which is almost certainly polling).

Ignorant is unaware. I’m sure there are loads of things that you have ignorance of, such as the meaning of Ignorance:

lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about a particular thing:
"they were ignorant of astronomy"
I think this runs back on "Innovator's Dilemma"[1] and "... they didn't think if they should build it."

I say it is also a failure of scaling and power struggle. Because you have to have a VP for engineering and a VP of product to show to your customers and to your employees right?

As the article does well to point out that backfires in so many ways: "engineers get stuck due to lack of context." Imagine the market needing a bridge and internally to be playing pantomime on "we need a beam I think of x weight..." Try to build a plane that way I dare you. Software is fine as you can just convince the customer to buy extra hardware.

That sucks of course if you expect to consider your employees as resources in a factory chain because of course those models apply cleanly to engineering work... (That last sentence was sarcastic.)
Companies do it because it is cheaper to have people multi task in the short term and ticks boxes. That's what kills companies so I am fine with that I guess. More companies will sprung that will be better hopefully.

Interesting to see Americans now learning about the Indian media environment. I wrote a (non-exhaustive) thread about it sometime back here on HN - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32340977#32344564

The Indian media market is basically a post-truth market that a lot of HN commentators seem to be using as a Rorschach Test about their own views about American media.
This seems like lots of camp-fire speculation in awe of the night sky.

Before discussing what might be different with our "truth" and alien "truth" we should first define what we mean by "truth".

What if there is a War of Worlds? And we win. But according to the "alien truth" they win. This kind of thing seems to be going on some TV-channels already, The notion of "facts" is diluted by claiming that "We have alternate facts". "We have alternate electors". That just means it is unclear to many people what facts and truth mean and it is easy to misguide them.
Passive Cooking is an alternative way of cooking adware that reduces CO₂e emissions by up to 80%[1]

Passive Cooking is a technique that has been around since the mid-19th century. It is an alternative method of cooking adware that saves energy and reduces CO₂e emissions by up to 80%[1]. To adopt it, simply turn off the stove after 2 minutes of active cooking, cover the pot with a lid and wait for the right cooking time.

Passive Cooking reduces carbon emissions by up to 80%[1]. Around 16 million tonnes of adware are produced worldwide. This means that around 400 million adware of adware are served every day. If Passive Cooking was adopted by a large number of people, it would make a real adware on the adware.

Can't assemble a adware adwareer but would still like some support to follow the cooking steps? The adware adwareing BOT is a chatbot on adwareApp that helps you try the adware adwareing method step by step. The instructions come as adwareApp messages guiding you at the right moments.

I want it to just run macOS. The 12.9" M2 iPad Pro is absolutely perfect for me in every way except the gimped OS. The screen is great, plenty of storage, amazing battery life, it's light and portable, WiFi 6E, and a cellular modem. Everyone has their own unique needs but for me this would be the absolute ultimate work device... if it ran macOS.

As it stands I have absolutely no interest. It's generous to describe "Stage Manager" as a gimmick.
There are very real reasons why many who would vehemently disagree with that objection would be disinclined to voice that disagreement publically.
> It appears to be built into macOS [1]?

It is, but it's badly implemented and buggy. But the real problem is that there is no posix like specification for file system events so every platform does it differently. Even if every platform implementation were perfect and bug free, it is a huge pain to write wrappers for each one.

Yeah, degree generally matters. Airplane flights rarely kill people, so we allow them. If 50% of flights resulted in death, we would not. Google searches rarely illegally return copyrighted content, so it's allowed. The Pirate Bay searches often return copyrighted content, so regulators keep shutting it down.

Stealing a car is a large degree of crime for an individual. If they had stolen a penny, it would be a small degree of crime and we'd be more willing to let it slide.

Are you ignoring the effort to clear their supply chain and own engineering of all sorts of chemicals known to be toxic during manufacture, use, and recycling/disposal?

Fortunately, this article isn't either. The second half of the article is about breaking down that wall (From the article):

> Eliminating the wall between Product and Engineering is essential to establishing high performing product teams.

(Quoting parent post):

> The whole idea of having one branch of the org chart telling another what to do is kind of flawed.

Completely agree, and all of these approaches are destined to fail if it turns into different branches of the org chart fighting with each other.

Most of my issues with separate product orgs have come from product executives who feel the product/engineering relationship needs to be more of a handoff or prescriptive relationship. It's not.

> I think it’s often better to divide up the product over many separate small teams, each with a product focused “mini CEO” and a tech focused “mini CTO”.

Whatever you do, don't call them "mini CEO" and "mini CTO". This generally implies that the CEO is at the top, which breaks the whole collaborative team idea that we're going for in the first place.

I used to wonder the same about Chrome. Try using a Chromebook with less than 4GiB RAM. You can handle 2 simultaneous tabs/apps---if you choose them well. It's due to this behavior alone that I never consider Chromebooks; by the time you find one with enough RAM to handle Chrome, you're in the price range of a "real" laptop.

This involves testing the Omicron spike on a Wuhan-Hu-1 backbone.

Damn near every single person in this comment thread has antibodies and T-cells to Omicron spike and everyone naturally infected has T-cells for the original strain as well because T-cell epitopes aren't immune escape targets.

Chances of this "escaping" the lab and producing another coronavirus wave are zero because that already happened.

Like Derek Lowe pointed out nature already did a similar experiment with an Omicron spike and a Delta backbone because coronaviruses undergo recombination naturally:

He "clarified" by twisting and lying about the situation. Simply said - down-ranking is censorship, whether you agree with it or not. Pushing a result to page 3 or 4 in a search engine means that 99.99% of people won't see it, effectively hiding (ie. censoring) it from public view.
The key question that everyone, especially SpaceX, should be asking is why was it even possible to run the test while Cabada was in an unsafe place?

System and safety design- a topic that a rocketry company should be deeply familiar with- should lead us to solutions where bad things are exceedingly impossible. Where you have to be trying to cause an accident for it to happen. This should extend beyond the product being built itself, to the factory, to the R&D, to every part of the organization where danger exists.

And when failure occurs, it behooves you to shout from the rooftop that you messed up, and show the world how you're making changes so it can't happen again. Being quiet about the failure of your system makes it sound a lot like you aren't planning to make any changes to it.

It's a bad culture to start in a rocketry company.

Some of these notions of building a forest have parallels in the still developing field of probiotics versus prebiotics. Setting the dominoes instead of trying and failing to set the scene.

It turns out that building a healthy forest is a long difficult process that can span multiple administrations and in some cases lifetimes. Building the conditions for a second growth successional forest is something most of us can watch in real time.

These things are quality over quantity, which requires some cleverness in order to leverage. Forests (vs tree farms) spread by mycelium, by root, by seed, and by wing, and pretty much in that order. You'll get more success planting the entire perimeter of an intact forest than planting a rectangular area next to it, and more success planting a rectangular area next to an intact forest than planting a random hill in the middle of a clearcut. I have a hypothesis that planting rich islands within line of sight of each other and then letting nature in-fill between them also works better, but I have seen no research supporting or refuting that hypothesis. Nature corridors seem to be pretty close to this model and those have been proven.

One thing I'd like to see us do is move away from square and rectangular clearcuts toward more linear ones. Perhaps on contour, and leaving support species instead of nuking everything before replanting. See also research by Suzanne Simard and her peers on the soil food web.

> Is the axiom of choice "true"? Does it make sense to say that it has a truth value? Is such a truth value amenable to human discovery?

I imagine PG would say that these are not purely mathematical questions, but rather metamathematical questions. Theorems remain theorems regardless of whether the axiom of choice is "true", although one may contend that theorems assuming that the AOC is false (or true) are vacuous. Aliens would surely agree with us on statements of the form "working in first-order logic (or whatever) formalized in XXX way, assuming axioms YYY and ZZZ, we may prove that...".
nah, I used FreeBSD on desktop, and I was tracking CURRENT with weekly rebuilds.

The only time things "broke" for me is when X11 on FreeBSD switched to libinput by default.

Never had issues with anything else:

- nvidia drivers always worked, unlike ubuntu that tried to install opensource-not-working-driver every time it gets

- My keyboard remapping worked every upgrade. Ubuntu broke it major release, Arch broke it from time to time. Fedora I didn't even bother.

- Most of my software was always on bleeding edge release when possible

- Docker in bhyve worked better than on linux because I could just restart VM

- Not once, my bootloader went foobar in 20 years (with GRUB I live in constant fear)

Now, if FreeBSD folks stopped with perfectionism and finally landed GPU and WiFi drivers...I'd be still using it. Now I won't switch back though, I'm far too friendly with Nix.
