I had a similar experience in my last position. I was helping to lead a very green second shift team and had very little experience on the system we were testing. I ended up shifting my hours to split them between first and second shift and would spend the first part of the day just watching a very experienced operator. All I really I did was just help him plot and interpret data in excel or matlab. When we transitioned to second shift I would be already be familiar with the issues of the day and got to practice the things I observed earlier in the day. Having the time to sit back and observe allowed me to ramp up extremely quickly on the program.

I feel the one-on-one relationship can work well in both situations where the individuals are peers and when it is more of a mentor-mentee relationship. In grad school I had a close friend that was on more of a VLSI track while I was on an RF track. We had different expertise, but a shared a common background of electrical engineering. This allowed us to bounce ideas off each other where there was enough competence to provide meaningful feedback and just enough diversity to provide a different perspectives/approaches.

I recently gave a listen to the BBC podcast The Bomb and some of the work done in the era seemed to also follow pairing of minds. Maybe it was just the way the material was presented, but there seemed to primarily be a team of two tackling each of the major components needed for the various atomic programs to succeed.

There was an article linked here a while back about tacit knowledge that I feel applies in a way to the mentor-mentee relationship. Many comments about skills learned by observation and imitation from one-on-one work. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23465862
I believe the difference is the core module included, where (CM4 = Compute Module 4):

Same. Took me a while that there is a Raspberry Pi 4 Compute Module version and multiple versions with other ARM boards with different specs.

Still don't know what the best board is for my use case. I would like to have a dumbed down environment which is optimized for this handheld format and lets me start some editors and fantasy consoles from a menu.

Recently installed Linux Mint, what baffled me in 2022 is that regularely upon log-on it nags me to install security updates and when I acknowledge the request, it asks me for my password again. I agree that general package manager operations should be a privileged operation... but approving the installation of security updates should not have the user being greeted by just another password prompt.
> In the study, the researchers used a national insurance claims database, identifying more than 1.1 million knee patients and nearly 748,000 shoulder patients. Nearly 22,000 of the patients had been diagnosed with marijuana dependence.

The term "marijuana dependence" suggests either bias in the diagnoses, or extremely heavy users. Smoking marijuana is still smoking, and I've always been under the impression that some (though far from all) of the risk from smoking tobacco was just because of inhaling smoke.

Also, as another comment mentions, I can't see anything indicating they controlled for tobacco smoking.
I'm vaguely reminded of all those Charlie Sheen interviews from years ago when was self-destructing from drug abuse, and we all just laughed.

You said you had absolutely no problem with me exercising my right to post your real name and address here. I can't do that unless you tell me. The fact you don't want to tell me indicates that actually, you DO have a problem with me exercising that right.
BeOS was magically snappy and responsive on 7200RPM spinning rust with a single-core 166Mhz Pentium and 128MB of memory. Felt luxuriously powerful. The only widespread current OS that's even close to that level of responsiveness and good-use-of-resources is iOS, and it's been slipping for years such that I now hesitate to make the comparison. And it gets there largely by cheating (suspending backgrounded programs).
Missed this at the time. Belated thoughts:

Hmm. I didn't address the point about primary sources because it didn't seem like the main point. Right after you brought that issue up, the next sentence seemed to cast aside the importance of the issue: "Also what, exactly, would adding those [sources] change about his essential point..."

I wasn't sure the key point, and the last sentence seemed to be the most likely crux of what you were saying, but maybe I misread.

Maybe you're right about the sources, I can't claim to have looked for books or papers by ex Soviet soldiers. Although given how many Soviet soldiers there were, and given the USSR's incentives to highlight German brutality, are you sure on this score that there are not raw recollections of brutal war in USSR in ww2?

Anyway, I think a piece by the same author without such a sweeping and judgmental title ("real" is a very loaded word in this context that, as I've said, I don't think is earned here) would work just as well.
Hard to say for sure but I'd bet that Unix/Linux/Posix and SQL skills might still be relevant.
Separate post for a reply to a separate topic:

> Do you not think that there's a case to be made that white supremacy has found a voice in certain parts of the internet?

> If you do agree, how would someone go about discussing how to tackle it without being dismissed as woke?

Yes and yes. Though the kind of genuinely heinous stuff that actively wishes ill on our fellow men is generally very, very niche.

Wokeness is a very specific way of approaching things, so you definitely can. The issue is mostly that woke activism has been steadily eating left-liberalism alive for the past decade and more. The result is that a lot of avenues for talking about a topic or for understanding them are very limited.

It's like 99% of math teachers went gaga over Common Core and did nothing else for twenty years. If you protested against Common Core, would you be protesting against the idea of teaching children mathematics? Hardly.

But once you're familiar with wokeness, it's a very distinct thing and you can definitely distinguish people coming at it from a different perspective. It's not hard at all.

I would caution though that a lot of the modern concern about racism etc. is whipped up by the media: https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/media-great...

Similar hockeysticks exist for most other social justice related topics.
Yeah, KDE Connect did the same.

I think it is the fault of the network stack of one those two devices, otherwise I can't explain that. Maybe that the devices receive/send data faster than they are able to process. (Is this even possible?)

But I could be awfully wrong

Regarding your edit: That's a good idea, but I never attempted that. I can't test that, because I'm in a Wifi where no device is allowed to talk to another :(
I hate the fact that I have to install third party software to do something every other OS (i believe) has as the default. I've been using scroll reverser, but that looks nicer, will try it out. Thanks
I haven't been here as long but also did not know about the search at the bottom, which is probably not the best place to put functionality that users want to be core to the site.
I also promote PlantUML for projects, specifically because:

1. It provides a convenient DSL targeting specific diagram use-cases that I actually want (generally sequence diagrams.)

2. The "source code" for the diagram is trivial to check in and diff with version-control, sometimes right along with the code it describes.

3. If the app/renderer is for some reason not available, the source is clear enough that you aren't completely lost.

I hadn't heard of Mermaid before this conversation, but it seems to hit some of the same notes.

Yes, I get it, modern ECT is very much improved.

However, I don't recall even implying or "act[ing] like the alternative is some kind of panacea", and I don't hold such a position, and I don't say there is no cost in the alternative.

In fact, it is likely that both are major problems, and will at some point be considered barbaric (as will the cancer chemotherapy you mentioned).

All three are deliberate massive disruptions to the entire system, not at all targeting the actual problem, and in fact any benefit is simply a welcome side-effect. An analogy would be a problem in some towns in the midwest US, and ECT is like hitting the zone with a Magnitude 9.3 earthquake and Ketamine/Chemo is like hitting the zone with a massive flood. Sure, the problem may go away, but...

The best advances are being made in immunological cancer treatments, which are far more targeted, and looking far more effective.

Eventually, we'll be able to know more to know which small subset among the 100 billion neurons and ~quadrillions of synapses to target. Meanwhile, considering either ECT or systemic drugs as much more than a few steps up vs applying leeches is just wrong. I haven't seen a shred of research that indicates understanding of exactly what brain structures are being targeted, and why nevermind what neurons, for ECT or the systemic drugs, and quite a bit on basically empirical, 'well we do this and it gets a desired effect X% of the time'. Sure, that is way better than nothing, and it is all we have, but it is NOT anything like the desired end state of diagnosing IN DETAIL and EXACT problem and it's detailed mechanism, and then repairing it.

Doomer? When did being honest and realistic become doomer?

It's as if you missed the college debt forgiveness. What was that? First, the gov stepped in, manipulated a market, increased demand, etc., and that eventuallyt went sideways.

And then it stepped in to pull the plug in that mistake. The POTUS promises the forgiveness program will make buying a home more afford...because the demand he created won't result in higher prices. Huh?

The only doom comes from those who can't face facts and keep their heads buried in the sand.
Is AI art good or bad? In two months we were able to build and animate a comic
Hi all! I'm David and I spent the past 2 months working on a graphic novel project, with the power of Stable Diffusion / MidJourney / NovelAI, and animated it all with Rive app.

The goal was to see how much AI can help push creativity further in a short time, and I think we succeeded.

And we worked only after-work hours and weekends! In total, just by myself, I spent over 320 hours on this project.

These emerging technologies have inspired millions to create something they only dreamed of.

And if I had to give an opinion about AI "art," it is that AI does not produce "art." The output will always be just an image, lifeless random noise that our eyes perceive as something coherent. It's just a tool to empower people.

AI can't replace you. But certain people surely will try, and they will fail. At least, I sure hope they will fail.

If there's one thing I've learned from this, I hope I can be anything like an artist and learn how to draw art.

This experience made me appreciate artists so much more, not less. The amount of skill it takes to make INTENT drawn... To do that takes so much knowledge and skill! I hope I can afford to work with real humans and amazing artists for future projects!

But for right now, If there's any fruition from this project, I can't wait to put it back into the community. We are already building educational content plans for those who want to do something like this.

Let me know what you think about AI, future of storytelling and what you think about our project :) Thank you!
AWS Serverless Messaging: Latency Compared
If you had massive outbreaks at a factory like Foxconn’s largest in Zhengzhou which employs 300,000 people, you would have massive interruptions to production.

Instead, they do extensive testing and quarantining to prevent outbreaks at a factory like that.

So no, it isn’t “performative zero COVID”.
The USB 2.0 stack has higher latency than the PS/2 stack – but that's no excuse for the sheer lagginess of the OS.

> Give me one project and I'll send you a test suite that "tests" 100% of executable lines.

I don’t think you can do that with every project. For example, a function f may do:

if (p == null) {
abort();
}

If all callers also do that test, there’s no way to hit that abort() line in the program. Your test suite may not be able to hit it either. Maybe f is a private function, or that test occurs on one of its intermediate values, or f accidentally has two identical tests:

if (p == null) {
abort(“p is null”);
}
if (p == null) { // copy-paste bug
abort(“q is null”);
}
if (r == null) {
abort(“r is null”);
}

Even if it is possible to hit that line, finding a path through the code that passes in a null value can be extremely hard.

As a simple contrived counterexample, try getting 100% coverage on a function that does if(secure_hash(foo) == 0) bar();
oh yeah... peppy's a beast

Could say the same, if not even more so, about alcohol. But that has been a pervasive part of culture for thousands of years.
My point is that in general manufacturing jobs aren't minimum wage. And those levels are below minimum wage in most European countries.

I just checked job postings in Bulgaria(the poorest EU country) and $11k is just a bit above entry level salary for unskilled uneducated manufacturing workers. It's higher with taxes, experience, etc. and there's a lot of better options at that level.

And the truth is even if you can find cheap employees in Albania, Bulgaria, Belarus, Macedonia, infrastructure is not there and investment wouldn't make much sense because there's not a lot of people here that are okay with such low wages.
I agree, before it was the main screen with the icons that sucked (but looked friendly!), now the sidebar is okay and workable and the detail screens suck.
Up until the mid-late 2000s tech interviews consisted of a few conversations, followed by checking references.

CS trivia interviews were largely introduced by Google, with other companies cargo culting that into their interview practices.
GP comment implied there would be fewer exploitable bugs. That is definitely what happens.

If you think there's the same amount of severe exploit from software written in Go/Java/Javascript and software written in C/C++, you are just factually wrong.

70% of exploitable bugs from large company products (M$, Apple, Google) ARE memory safety bugs.
See spliff (mixed with tobacco) or blunt (wrapped in tobacco leaf). Though the US is one of the smallest countries for the practice. I didn't realize how severe the differences were until I looked it up based on your comment. In Italy, 94% of marijuana smokers mix with tobacco!

Two brand new Bosch ovens side by side, both showing different times on their digital clocks. Why don't they auto-adjust with daylight saving or at least synchronise with each other. I'd rather have no clock than two wrong ones.
I personally go out of my way to throw at least some money at services I use a lot assuming there are one time payments in some form. Or sometimes throw money at something I pirated before. For example, I have a lot of pirated epubs of light novels, as it's more convenient. Some authors have a donation option somewhere, where I throw some money their way, if I've enjoyed the books. I absolutely get that some friction for such things is inevitable.

Not gonna claim that I have some moral highground for my opinions/actions though.
That is where the concept of policies come in: an actual deployment of sigstore for verification purposes would establish the artifact’s identities via another mechanism. That mechanism is going to depend on the sigstore deployment: in the context of most package indices, for example, it probably makes sense to have the verification map to the index’s account metadata, package metadata, etc. That could, in turn, be made into a public commitment via a TUF repository.

However, that complexity does not apply to simple cases like the CPython one: for this case, you can verify that the identity matches the one of the public email identities of the CPython release team. This is no more complex that PGP identity verification, and is much more resilient (since anybody can publish a claimant key for an identity in PGP).

how does the number of active users affect the size of the application?
I think it's similar to alcohol, there's probably no usage level that's "Safe" but there are ways to mitigate the problems. With weed, smoking it is certainly a terrible idea but many of the issues can be minimized by primarily using edibles. Just never a good idea to inhale anything that's combusted.
Yes, this is exactly what I'm saying. You have to know which devices play well with linux to have a relatively good experience.
Care to share some examples for the people who don’t share your opinion?
Minimum wage in 2022 is 3010PLN, so they can't make 2k unless you're talking about pay after taxes, but that 6.7k figure is before taxes, so it's not an apples to apples comparison.

Wait, so things that, by your account look like spam and hence end up in spam folders is censorship? Makes no sense.

No one with a fucking brain thinks that was a good idea. But that's what Democrats do.
You might say that... but Reddit is mainstream now. 99% of users are perfectly happy with the new Reddit (especially the iOS app).

If anything, the new UI changes are in service of an IPO, not the reason it would fail.

Java probably will for application development. Python should to with all that ML code. I don’t see anyone in a hurry to move it to Julia. C++ also, if you’re in the embedded space. I know Rust is coming but I don’t think c++ is going anywhere for a while.
A lot of companies that otherwise weren't going to IPO saw the opportunity to IPO and a marge larger multiple than they should have. That opportunity went away, so many of them also backed off. I worked at a company that was in this same position, and backed off. It's hard to consider IPO when both valuation multiples and your fundamentals have worsened.
The catch is that empowerment (this is the correct word that everyone seems to be looking for) and collaboration are opposites: I trust you to solve this vs. let's solve this together.

People tend to lash out at whichever one seems like a problem: "You can't get anything done around here without some stupid committee harassing you!" "The left hand doesn't even know what the right hand is doing!" They don't understand that yes, you have to balance these opposing values, and that "opposing" doesn't mean right vs. wrong.
