Its also probable you are in a bubble with your friends.

The cost of living has gone up a lot where I live, but myself and friends earn enough that the significant grocery and energy bill spikes have zero impact on us, but if we were on a lower income and already on a tight budget we would definitely need to be cutting back on any non essentials.
It isn't. If you use a lot of traffic when the network is idle, there should be no penalty for this, because the capacity otherwise goes to waste.

If you use traffic when the network is congested, so is everyone else who is active when the network is congested, so you should all get an equal share if you're paying the same monthly fee, and a share proportional to your max connection speed if you're not. Nothing to do with how much you used when the network was idle.
Could be. Having both strong static typing (and a more formal one) and less code will help a lot.
Well, yes, and a lot of people treat kernel development as if they were developing for a constrained microcontroller. I don't think this is even a bad thing, we want the kernel to be as lean as possible because every page and cycle the kernel burns is one that users don't get to use.

I feel like this is most of humanity. Perhaps a central trait of humanity, following authority, the crowd, the tribe, whatever.

This has revealed the importance of being an authority who can spread truth, whereas I used to think seeking power was evil in of itself, now I see it as a powerful tool to spread goodness to those who only respond to power.

(I recently read the 48 laws of power and it was illuminating)
Your comments make a lot of sense were there material indirection about some material issue, but there isn't.

So in this case none of it really applies; notions 'cruelty and harm' are a bit absurd.

There is a habit among 'thinking people' to escalate the most innocuous thing to an undeserved proportion.

When there are no lingering controversies, the most minor supposed slight - becomes the controversy.

This issue is out of proportion for this level of meaningful dissection.

More objectively ... the Tweet does not involve policy, it's not political, it's not controversial, it's not 'before the courts', it does not involve foreign policy, it's not 'insensitive or offensive', it doesn't delve into economic matters, it's not related to health or elections, it won't move markets or affect business - and most appropriately - it's essentially factual.

It's a banal, truthful statement about some secondary, bureaucratic outcome.

If we were to apply this level of conscientious scrutiny to every Tweet or statement, I don't think anyone would ever agree on what 'reality' is.

So there is no 'there' there. There's nothing to escalate.

We have a free press to add more context, that's their job.

Tweets can cause 'harm' obviously, when influential people lie about material things especially related to health, violence, ultra bigotry/racism, political insurrection etc. but otherwise, Twitter is a random tech company, it's beyond their purview to selectively contextualize arbitrary bits of information.
IDK maybe care bc Twitter is used by politicians of all stripes to whip up their most rabid fans into violent mobs, and by state-sponsored disinformation outfits to throw fuel on the fire?

What they did with Dota 2 was really surprising, the AI did a technique where if it was ahead it would go behind the enemy tower to get 100% of the gold while the enemy would struggle with last hits under the tower and take creep damage. I'd never seen anyone do this before and pro's started copying this after. The way I remember them explaining it was that the AI has something it's trying to maximize for, and it plays millions of games trying slightly different variations which can lead this kind of creativity, pretty wild.
Not only is it measurable, Facebook measured it.

This is satellite, i.e., internet for people who can't get a physical network connection better than dial-up over copper. Starlink's closest competition is Exede (by Viasat) with monthly data caps on the order of 60GB. If you use 1TB+/mo, you're probably not viewing Starlink as an upgrade from Exede and should opt for something closer to your needs.

I'd hazard a guess that people who should be using their local cable provider's solution are the reason Starlink is now imposing this data cap...

edit: Exede apparently now offers up to 30mbps and a 100GB/mo cap in my area, their second highest plan. Other points still stand...

I'm baffled by how chase, bofa and the big retail banks have any customer at all who keep saving accounts with them. There literally doesn't seem a point other than to donate about 3% of that total to them each year in lost income. Or get short term Tbills for 4%.

There's a ton of reputable larger online banks giving 2.5 to 3% interest. Having a chase, wells fargo, or bofa savings account with 0.0X% is unfortunate. They are just preying on older or less financially savy customers.

Taste is an eye. Skill is a hand. The eye guides the hand. There's your connection.
I suspect you already know the answer here.

The organization, culture, and fit with the role are massively important to your success.

What you're describing in Company B sounds like a failure of hiring process, management competency, or both.

A well-designed hiring process should give both the company and candidate a clear idea of how well they will match with the role. While there are people who interview well and underperform, a good hiring process should really catch most of those. This is one of the things that distinguishes true HR professionals from the amateurs.

As a candidate, you want to ask the right questions to understand what's expected of the role. This can include examples of the kind of projects/tickets you'd work on, as well as the overall pace and vibe of the team.

Provided that the new employee is in the general ballpark of what's expected for the role, their managers should help them succeed, communicate clear expectations, give specific and constructive feedback, and provide the resources for them to adjust to, and succeed in the role.

I think you're also discovering the differences that can exist in leveling between companies. What is expected of a senior engineer at one company could be intermediate at another and so on.

It can be worthwhile to reflect on this experience to look for clues you may have overlooked in the hiring process. Sometimes those clues can be subtle and other times they can be hard to miss. Similarly, it can be beneficial to think of questions you could ask when interviewing in the future to help identify dysfunctional or toxic culture.
It is abstract, and the argument is semantic. Freedom of speech is an concept, turning the cheek is a concept. Most people agree neither should be applied absolutely, but they both can be applied or ignored in any space, private or public.

There are laws that try to codify the concepts. The 1st amendment is one of such laws, but it only applies to the US government. It doesn't mean that the concept it is based on is held to the same restrictions.
Yeah, that is a weird little fantasy.

Just for the record, I'm happily married, love my child very much and don't even drink. I was laid off when my wife was pregnant and did just fine. No hard feelings for that company at all. They had to do what they had to do and I'm at a job I like better and pays more. I hope the same for anyone laid off, at Twitter or elsewhere.
Anyone who remembers that era of Internet Explorer with positivity must have been on an island of consumer facing websites like Geocities and never had to deal with ActiveX websites.
I had a pretty snarky reply that I made and then deleted, because I went to your profile and looked at your Twitter account and honestly, I think we have quite a bit in common and would probably get along on most issues. And also, I really like your music.

Looking back on the wording of my original reply, it was too hyperbolic. My post was not meant as an "ACAB, the police are literally here to kill you on behalf of rich old men". My position is that the fewer opportunities for folks to be thrown into a pile of suspects for the police or any other law enforcement institution like the FBI, the better. I'm in favor of the police being able to subpoena Apple and Google for user data if there's reasonable, articulable suspicion those users committed a crime. To me, simply downloading a publicly available app in the app store does not satisfy that condition.

It's not a C preprocessor macro. Those are a very specific and limited subset of macros, and that is the main reason why they're criticized.

Broadly speaking, if something can generate parametrized chunks of AST on the go, it's a macro. Which is exactly what D mixins do.

As for Python, it doesn't really need macros because everything is runtime. But if you need it, compile() and eval() are there, and they can be abused much worse than any macro facility ever could.

An example of good taste but poor skill in execution.

I always wanted to be a music producer, I have a million ideas I love, but I found the study and act of music production tedious and frustrating.

However, after my studies, I was a wedding DJ. My taste in music rocked many a party (you haven't lived until you've seen grandma twerk) despite my inability to translate my cool ideas into cool music.

I have awesome taste, but poor ability to create. This reflects in other things I have a well developed taste for, but a poor ability to create, like photography.

Another interesting aspect is how skill can inform taste. As I studied music production and learned the nuances, I appreciated music on a far deeper level. Same with photography.

What do interest rates offered by the banks have to do with liquidity in the bond market?

The Fed speculates that the reason for the lack of liquidity is due to uncertainty about the economic outlook and uncertainty about the interest rates. The evidence they point to is that liquidity (defined by the bid/ask spread and the amount of available bonds at the best price) is lower for short-term bonds compared to long-term bonds. Short-term bonds are more affected by interest rate changes, so market participants are much more cautious about transacting in a large number of bonds at once. Rather, they split large purchases into many small purchases to ensure they're not losing money due to sudden changes in the price.

TEDx Wouldn't Post This (Mikhaila Peterson)
All (successful) mediums (markets) become centralized. Per winner-takes-all. Unless it's actively prevented.

"Web3" hubris is to be centralized from the jump, skipping a few steps of the (apparently natural) medium lifecycle. Like Ted Nelson's Xanadu, Zuck's Megaverse, and any number of other exquisite future perfect big bang utopias. Given the historical record, success of this strategy is unlikely.

(John Carmack's paraphrasing of the "all successful complicated systems started simple" criticism of Zuck's betaverse makes the same point.)

Not all friends are the type to wing other friends. Especially not casual friends, which is still what a “friend zone” includes.
I would turn it around: GitHub became a success because Git was so popular.
Heh, you're not wrong. I've thought for a while there should be some sort of valid, but easily hand-written version of HTML5 where any text between two newlines is considered a paragraph. That alone would go a long way to making HTML more text-editor friendly.

Other block-level elements would auto-close either at a new line or when a new block tag starts, headers would automatically create <sections> that end when a new header appears, and inline elements would end at the next space, newline or generic end tag like </>, so they could be nested.

A lot of this is done already in the browser. A valid HTML doc just needs a doctype, title and a body tag and the spec specifies all the rest will be filled in automatically. The spaghetti logic employed to add in missing closing tags to keep pages looking decent is mind boggling. Seems like there could be a few additional spec rules and then plain-text HTML would be just as easy to create as any other markup.

Are They Already Here? Fermi Paradox Solutions with Jacob Haqq-Misra and Fauchez
> Blockchains just are not a particularly good datastructure for most applications.

Very few applications are bottlenecked by the efficiency of their data structure. Computing is filled with examples where we make significant performance tradeoffs to achieve other goals. E.g. software applications are orders of magnitude less efficient than dedicated hardware, yet we accept that tradeoff because software is far more flexible and faster to develop.

Similarly decentralized blockchains may be orders of magnitude less efficient than centralized databases, but for many applications that simply doesn't matter. The most scalable chains cost $0.0001 per transaction and can process tens of thousands transactions per second. Yes, a very optimized database may only cost $0.00000001 per transaction and can process millions of TPS. But the fact is none of this matters to your typical CRUD app.

What you do get for that tradeoff is much better guarantees around durability and reliability, observability, transparency, censorship resistance, decentralization, and a much more credible commitment to the users that the app will not stop operating, delete their data, or change its behavior in unexpected ways.

That doesn't mean the tradeoff is always worth it. The most performance critical systems will still probably run in centralized databases, just as the most performance critical applications run on custom ASICs instead of software. (Even then, we'd probably still expect databases to commit frequently commit their Merkle root to decentralized blockchains for trust, transparency, trust, auditability)

But we know that blockchain technology continues to improve at exponential Moore-like rates (in the past ten years, blockchain capacity has doubled about every 24 months). We'd therefore expect the performance tradeoffs vis-a-vis centralized databases to become increasingly de minims, whereas the positive characteristics of decentralized chains should only improve as the general tooling and technology gets better.

The fantasy wasn't that weird. They drew a compelling scene that complemented the shocking lack of empathy in your comment.
Right. Like there are so many algorithms that I shudder to think about how you'd implement them without linked lists. Like...how about a buddy allocator? Sure you could use a vector for each but you'd be copy and resizing huge swathes of memory constantly for very little gain. Use the right tool for the job!
Perhaps the solution is a different approach.

Instead of human monitors, we add computer monitors. Which then initiate a safe system shutdown. The goal being to "remove energy" from the system as soon as safely possible.

A car for example might come to a stop as soon as there is a safe place to do that.

Some systems, think aeroplanes, are fully automatable but still have human oversight. These are ones where "safe stop" is highly variable and difficult to achieve. We have pilots for that, and very sophisticated simulators for training.

For industrial processes, factories and do on, safe-stop can be designed in from day one. Humans would be required for maintainence, not operation. I suspect this is already true in lots of factories.

That sounds like a lot of work unless you absolutely have to have a contiguous allocation of every element.

If you don't need that, you can get "O(1.1)" access and nice heap behavior with an indirection or two, and the implementation is likely to be lots more portable and standards-friendly than if you also dragged in a bunch of OS mmap() semantics (which tend to have exciting, platform-dependent misfeatures).

Also, I would have to reach for the mmap() man page. I have malloc() right in front of me. :-)
When the array is resized, it’s moved to a new contiguous block of memory: everything is copied or moved over. See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8261037/what-happen-to-p...
I guess linked lists as they are are very useful for implementing queues (particularly those that feed thread pools) where-in the costs of growable array is not needed and the cache locality does not matter (continuing with a thread pool example - It's almost a guarantee that having next element in the cache of the CPU which is not going to execute the next Runnable is a waste).

In Java particularly the both array as well as the linked implementation of blocking queues should perform equally well. FWIW most queue implementations are linked lists.
Boards could have ICs that are voted in by fellow employees.
