So golden parachutes, in the commonly used C* sense, are subtly different -- they're buying an orderly transition.

And why would you need to buy an orderly transition?

Because the outgoing person is likely to have (a) massive organizational authority during the transition, (b) legal ways to abuse that authority to screw the company over, & (c) political power within the company.

The money is predicated on having a role with access to those three things, and it's a payment for not abusing them in a time when incentives not to abuse them are removed (because you're being fired).

Not very relevant when you're fired on the spot and escorted out of the building, as apparently happened at Twitter, but very relevant in a more traditional (and slow) leadership change. And hence why it's a standard part of contracts for those roles.

This has worked well enough for an Arduino IoT project. Small footprint and acceptable performance. I think it comes recommended by the chip manufacturer or vendor.
And had he not done it (or at least tried to force the sale), he'd have failed in his fiduciary duty to the shareholders and maybe they'd have sued or sacked him.
I think Americans exaggerate the use of the word "awesome" similarly.
Earlier in the poem he says that the two roads were equally worn. But looking back on it he remembers the chosen one as less worn. Unclear what is the meaning. Self-delusion maybe because our memories change?

And as I mentioned, I find that completely hilarious.
Blind appeals to authority are not appropriate here. It’s pretty clear that Walter has staked out an unreasonable position, regardless of how renowned (and rightly so!) he is for his work on D.
My mother told me to not care what other people thought. She also told me that words can't really hurt people ("sticks and stones..."). She also believed its "mean" to have any preference about people, calling it a version of "keeping score". In fact, "keeping score" was one of the worst things you could be accused of in my household.

Her advice fails to accept the reality of social and emotional needs. It also fails to address the (sometimes severe) downside of non-conformance. This advice made me an Outsider whether or not I wanted to be. I now believe that these were tools she formed to get her through her own family and social trauma, which she falsely assumed would be generally useful, and did her best to arm her children with her best tools. I also believe there are upsides to the approach, but the trade-offs are real and cannot and shouldn't be swept under the rug. I imagine others had similar experiences with religious parents.

Advice is dangerous. It has built in moral hazard. Advice is too often given in well-meaning ignorance and pride - but ultimately advice gets someone else to test your hypothesis for you. So if you've not gotten any life-changing advice, be glad!
After you've been lying or sitting and you get up and go for a wee, once done press up just behind your balls. Oftentimes that pushes out a big drip that was otherwise going to come out later once you had your pants done up.

The best abstract advice I've been given is to say "I don't know" when I don't know. No waffle, no bullshit, no trying to save face. Saves a lot of time.
Beginning of September I received a notice from Google, saying that the free service of managing my custom domain is halted and that I would have to buy a plan, in order to continue to use their service for my custom domain.

It has been several years I was from time to time looking to Google alternative. But the amount of work and hassle to find an hosting service or self hosting this service was always a blocker.

Laziness at finest.

So when they started to blackmail me that I must use my credit card in order to use their previously free service. I decided to kick my ass.

I was already a ProtonMail user for another experiment with this service. After half an hour setting up everything in godaddy following proton mail how-to I finally migrated my own domain to ProtonMail, happily paying for their services.

The only thing is that as far as I didn’t pay a penny to google, I’m unable to connect to my account and backup 10years of mail. Thank you google.

Funny thing is that I can still connect to my account console mgt and succeeded to save all my keystore from chrome use. I’m still able to use chrome with the same account, except my email is not anymore managed by google but proton.
Parag used to be CTO and seems to have presided over multiple years of lethargic development and glacial product evolution.

A lack of fancy new features in the frontend UI doesn't mean very much about the development and product evolution as a whole. Contrary to popular belief, Twitter is not just the user frontend. There's a ton of other systems shuffling data around behind the scenes - advertising account management, adverts themselves, timeline 'AI' for inserting stuff into people's views, anti-spam, anti-fraud, site reliability, apps...

I imagine you'd need to be quite high up in Twitter to really get a sense of how quickly things are moving, and as outsiders you and I have absolutely no chance of getting any sort of insight from looking at the website.

Musk wanted to sell Tesla shares after promising he will never do that. He needed an excuse that will not cause already overvalued tesla stock to crash.

He will need money because of a trail he is in.

He thought he could get away with cashing out tesla, paying fine and riding hype train of saving twitter.

Well that train hit the wall it seems. And he is stuck with twitter
I can second the New Sun series. The bizarre thing about this series is that it is a hole in my memory. I can remember reading it, I can remember liking it, and I can remember little snippets, but I can't remember most of the specifics. I've read the series twice, but even the second reading hasn't resolved this failure to recollect.

Ironically -- likely on purpose -- that's the point. The series centres on an unreliable narrator, which is a part of the charm.

You forget moments because the narrator wasn't clear.

The narrator wasn't clear because the he didn't understand what he was seeing.

You have to re-read the series, perhaps several times, to figure out what's truly going on.
A third option is that he does have ADHD and you, a bystander, are doing the misdiagnosis.

IMO for disorders like this it’s almost better to view it through the lens of the available treatments. Is the treatment, on net and relative to other possible strategies, going to be a positive impact on this person? If yes, then whether they have apparent Disorder X (a figment of imagination) versus actual Disorder X (which is itself also a figment of our collective imagination) isn’t super relevant. Obviously in the case of ADHD the prescription drugs are pretty intense and have pretty severe negative consequences, so this framework in that case would probably even yield that people with actual ADHD but mild forms shouldn’t have those drugs pushed on them either.
Alan Turing comes to mind. Don't know if the stories of his private life are embellished with Apocrypha.
Yellow security vulnerability repository is being removed – GitHub Changelog
You’re young. You could die early, but it’s statistically unlikely. There’s a balance.

With 20k (and if you’re really lucky no debt) and a job that most people on this site have, you are lucky and will be able to do some things others can’t.

I’ll give you one. I spent about $2,000 in 2014 to take my wife to Paris and London (part of the trip was covered by my work, so it was a little less expensive). At the time we had debt, we were young (mid 20’s) and could afford it but the more prudent thing to do would have been to throw that money at debt or invest it. The S&P 500 was roughly 1900 at that time. Today it’s 3900. So invested I would now have $4k in the bank. As someone in my mid-30s, no amount of money can bring me back to my 20s with my wife in her mid 20s, without the responsibility of kids, for a week in Paris and London.

And playing that further out - if that money even 20x’d by the time I’m 80, at that point I’d still give it up to have had the experience with my young wife.

Not sure if that makes sense - but recognizing these tradeoffs while you can and making the decision to take the action is a tricky thing to get right. You can always make more money but you can’t make more time, and you won’t get your youth back again. So have fun. But everything in moderation and recognize that you need to take care of your future self as well (e.g. don’t take two years off around Paris and London and lose your job, etc…)
The usual definition of starship is a ship that travels between the stars. Earth is stuck orbiting one star so I wouldn’t classify it as a starship. Maybe the label would better suit a rogue planet?

Sorry, but it's just you opinion. Do you have proofs of how t-shirt store will benefit of putting RDBMS on a client side (how much space does it take BTW) instead of using simple list of objects?

These were so enjoyable I read them all straight through twice. I'm now reading through the Japanese translation of them as well. (Which, unfortunately, isn't as funny as the original.)
You can do reference counting without making it atomic, by prohibiting sharing across threads. It’s not fundamentally required. See Rust’s Rc, for example.

CSGO has a builtin DX to OpenGL translation layer. They're not using Proton or DXVK, it's Linux native OpenGL. Hopefuly we get Source 2 and native Vulkan sooner than later ..

So what is an identity if not “a way to understand their behaviour and experience of the world”? I think the problem the GP raises is inherent in the whole diagnosis concept, and that it’s generally a bad idea to label large parts of the personality spectrum as some kind of (incurable) illness.

Cool. I like (!= love) modern OpenGL and use it every now and then. I don't currently use any Apple product or service, but I have been forced to a couple of times, and I find their bully approach to deprecating stuff very annoying.

To be fair to your mother, this particular advice and view was rampant when I grew up in the 80s/90s. My experience was that this is quite backwards. Physical altercations at school didn't hurt that much, but the name calling, social shunning and constant verbal put down was very painful and has affected my whole life.
Of course there is when they're using it in a relative comparison.
I have some similar stories. The issue of generic advice is it assumes a social context or a specific mistake that may not be relevant.

In a gang of violent ruffians, "be less violent!" is great advice. A gang of extremist pacifists being beaten up by outsiders probably needs "be more violent!" as advice.

Your case particularly hits a nerve with me because "do not care what other people think!" is good advice to someone who makes decisions based on where they think the crowd is going (which is the normal way) but may as well be the kiss of death to the typical engineering mind. Engineers do not need any advice that encourages them towards independent thinking. They already have lots of training in making decisions based on objective or internalised criteria. Engineering types usually need advice on how to read body language and make decisions using social techniques.

When dealing with smart, numerate people it is better to discuss scenarios or statistical frequency of mistakes rather than "give advice". Generic advice is often useless without context.

I wish I'd had some training on how to care what other people think when I was in my teens. Would have done me the power of good.

I couldn't tell whether you were joking about pirating it, but for others who might be interested, the author has made it available for free download from his website [1].

I love Blindsight as well, and I think I like the other book in the series, Echopraxia (not available for free download though) even more. Both books contain lengthy bibliographies citing various scientific papers the author has drawn ideas from, and on my first readings of both books I ended up spending as much time chasing down interesting references and reading them as I did reading the original books.

I'd say it's more a consequence of the need to put boundaries on the costs associated with developing the software. I've been in an internal development group where costs were not defined. We developed what the company needed internally, regardless of whether it was "worth it." If the budgeting people knew that the silly app created to ease their yearly budgeting process likely cost 30-40k of developer time, it wouldn't have been built since it likely saves 1-2k per year of their time. But quality was good because we didn't need to build it in a week at a cost of 2k.

I'm not saying that's a good thing. But my point is that quantifying those costs for external customers means that corners are cut and speed is essential. _That's_ why the code is low quality.

I don't believe that "true" Agile is the reason for it. Referring back to the Agile Manifesto has allowed us to focus on what's important. Other Agile (Scrum,etc.) in the workplace is no different from waterfall or any other method since it is ultimately applied by those focused on the money and then fails for the same economic reasons.

Barriers are probably too small to cause latency spikes. The object logging barriers are a bit complicated, as they write an object into a thread-local log and infrequently have to get more memory for the log. But a card barrier is rather simple, and could look like

SHR R_pointer, 9
AND R_pointer, <cards>
MOV BYTE [R_cards + R_pointer], 0

where <cards> is one below an immediate power of two number of cards, each card covering 2^9 = 512 bytes of heap. This is roughly the write barrier in SBCL on x86-64; there isn't much of a reason to think it will cause a latency spike.

On the other hand, "Barriers revisited" does mention a pathology about how cards can introduce false sharing, but that's still more of a smear than a spike.
I have no exp in this area but wouldnt we loose a lot of performance by having two shims.

but yes, it is good to reflect on that, and find out if something is actually a problem.
I've been mostly reading fiction:

Tom Holt "Sixteen Ways to Defend a Walled City" and its two sequels. Sardonic fantasy similar to Ursula Vernon. Fun.

Max Gladstone "Last Exit". Magic/alternate-worlds/tentacled-horrors-ish America. Will definitely win the Hugo.

Chuck Tingle "Trans Wizard Harriet Porber and the Bad Boy Parasaurolophus" (from which I learned that Chuck Tingle actually writes the stories, not just the title, and they're ... actually not terrible and pretty funny and very meta.

Katherine Addison "The Grief of Stones". Sequel to Goblin Emperor/Witness for the Dead. Murder mystery in an extremely engaging industrial-era fantasy world.

Alix E. Harrow "A Spindle Splintered" and sequels. Fairy tales encounter the multiverse.

C L Polk "Witchmark" and sequels. Fantastic series in a world where magic is outlawed - but the rich are aware of and use it, and imprison and exploit the poor who use it.

Tamsyn Muir "Nona the Ninth". Book 3 in Locked Tomb. More magic skeletons. A bit more of the backstory. Do I have any idea what's going on? Not so much. But I love it.

Naomi Novik "The Golden Enclaves". Scholomance book 3. Magic school, metaphor for boomers ruining the world and climate change, probably. Good conclusion.

qntm "There is no antimemetics division". A SCP novel. Not quite as good as his "Ra" but fun and mindbending.

Becky Chambers "The Galaxy and the Ground Within". A warm hug of a book. Travelers stranded at a space-rest-stop find they have something in common.

Charles Stross "The Bloodline Feud" and sequels. Alternate-universes-travel, Medici-style mercantilism feuds.

Madeline Miller "Circe". Gorgeously written, captivating reimagining of Circe's story. timeless.
Sure it can be unreliable cuz we are dealing with the brain which as a system is less understood than a cyclone.

Its natural the pros will get things wrong cause of the complexity and dynamic nature of the issues, but don't kid yourself that your SO or family members or friends or work mates are going to do a better job.

If they have never handled the issue before it's almost guaranteed they will create new issues and then cry about or hide behind their good intdntions after things blow up in their face.

Thank you for contributing this. I'm 22 years into my career, mostly spent in mundane engineering roles compared to the deep research I worked on as a hobby but really wanted to do professionally. After pushing very hard for many years, I finally landed that deep R&D gig and am well compensated.

My skills and interested are more hardware oriented in a company that brought me in is much more software and math. I've felt obligated to become much more software and math capable, spending very late nights and weekends studying. It's not a bad thing to expand one's mind, but at the heart, I know I'm really doing it more so to 'fit-in' better and less to communicate with my peers better.

I will take this advice and double down on bringing my hardware skills/passions to the table, which as my wife has repeatedly told me the past several months is really why they brought me on. They didn't bring me on to mold me into a clone of researchers they already have.
Do the meds help him?

I do understand what you're getting at, but tests and assessments will always be gamed by some people. Yes, he may have cheated, but until there is a more objective way to diagnose disorders like ADHD, something like this is simply part of the whole thing.

Consider him a false positive. You certainly wouldn't prefer having false negatives instead.
"Don't be afraid to become the Editor of a document" is along the lines my ex-boss told me.
It changed the way I think about contributing to just about anything. When you become the editor you take responsibility and you're in a much better operating position, even if you don't know everything about the subject matter of the document.
How does this compare to ANGLE or the MetalANGLE fork, assuming I have some renderer code that already works on both OpenGL 3.2 core profile and OpenGL ES 3.0? (We are already using ANGLE on Windows with the D3D11 backend and might consider using something similar to stop relying on the "deprecated" native OpenGL implementation on macOS.)
I've only heard it been used as an insult.
I don't think it's a question of "feeling compelled to say yes", or even being afraid to say no.

To me, the advice is more like "be open to new experiences / be willing to take a chance on the unknown". That doesn't mean you should always say yes to everyone because you're afraid of what they might think of you / might not like you / you owe them anything / etc.
