> I clicked in ready to see "shell shock" being renamed for the third time in less than a century

It’s interesting you’d say that because I always understood the term Shell Shock to have been abandoned in favor of a more accurate and descriptive term. So I think if it was still in use by psychologists today (for some reason), I would have expected to see that on this list, and see the authors argue for the far more accurate term Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

As a case in point, this list does include Multiple personality disorder and argues we should instead use the more accurate term dissociative identity disorder.
This is what lack of diversity gets you. Nobody in the chain of events thought anything happening was unreasonable enough to say something. There were probably ~8 people involved from the call to the officers to the DA and the administrative people in the middle who would have had a chance to opine. It only would have taken one Ron Swanson type to be like "hey, this is insane and we're gonna wind up being a national news story if we go through with this". It would have only taken one person from a rough part of town to be like "kids where I live walk this far and farther every day, there's nothing to see here".

Edit: By "Ron Swannson" I mean "someone who takes a skeptical by default view of things the organization chooses to engage in", not necessarily a libertarian.
I’ve noticed this same similarity.

Writing code to affect millions of people’s data, or controlling millions of people’s actions they can perform with software, has a lot in common with passing legislation that will affect millions of people, in terms of the edge cases and unintended consequences that you must consider beforehand.

Not to mention the potential for malicious actors.

In the embedded world, running a multimeter, oscilloscope, or logic analyzer can be part of a pure software job. You're close to the hardware, and the hardware responds to what you do. For some bugs, the fastest route to debugging is to see what happened with the hardware.

Some embedded devices have robust OSes between you and the hardware; some don't. (This isn't a sign of bad engineering on the devices that don't, by the way.) The ones that don't, you need to get to know the hardware fairly well.
The blogs also claim that their strategy for addressing the use cases where WSL1 is still needed is to try to improve WSL2 in those areas, i.e., to pave the way to fully abandoning WSL1.
No, here in Europe a device on the LoRa band 868Mhz can only transmit 1% of the time by law.

Because this also applies to base stations the throughput is highly constrained.

>What does it mean for a financial product to be "otherwise strong" when it is "in a liquidity crisis"?

As to the rest of it, it is similar to any other speculative investment. If they like the future prospects, they'll assist. A liquidity crisis means there are not enough liquid assets to proceed with business.

You can read this as Binance seeking to eat the lunch of those which are unable to withstand depositors running for the exit. If there's no prospect of future luncheons, there's no bailout. The bit about stemming the hysteria and "we're all in this together" is the magnanimous marketing language you'd expect.

They contain huge AC/DC inverters. The car has a small, usually 10 or 20kw inverter built in that handles level 1 and 2 charging. Usually about the size of two textbooks per 10kw.

When you're at a DC fast charger they still only have access to AC power from the grid, but you want 250kw, 350kw of DC power to charge the car. Not only do you need 20x the inverters, but because they don't have to fit in a car and move around, they're fitted with larger, more efficient cooling.
You can do a lot more today, but it was easier back when you could learn your way around an entire machine in a week.
They let the software become buggy and unreliable. It's that simple. In the meantime, other notetaking apps came along that were able to compete, and a lot of them are free. There is clearly still demand for this kind of software.

I don't think it mattered that Evernote was selling branded Moleskines and wallets -- that was a weird thing to do, but I have a hard time believing that sucked away all the resources from engineering for the core app.

MKUltra would be an example in support of the claim that brainwashing is not real.

No one is disputing that subjecting someone to drugs will permanently alter their beliefs, anyone who has come in contact with an alcoholic or a heavy drug addict knows this but that's not what brainwashing is. Brainwashing is ability to control someone's thoughts often with the goal of inducing specific beliefs and ideas. While there is plenty of evidence that MKUltra damaged people psychologically and forever changed their personality, there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that it managed to change their personality in a controlled manner.
I think everything except io is an okay in wsl1 if you only run user space software. But the io throughput is just bad. Iterate over 1000 image and hash each one costs only 1s in Linux and whole 20 seconds on wsl1. The way wsl2 implement fs is just far better.

Let alone if you use nodejs and have tens of thousands of files in node_modules. 'npm install' will cost you a whole 5 minutes.
I am a big fan of C, for all its faults, it's the language I have by far the most experience in, I have read multiple standard revisions multiple times at this point and regularly advise people on their understanding of the standard and how to write C.

I would absolutely hate working in embedded (if it runs linux it's not the kind of embedded I'm talking about) for a salary. Nobody treats C with any care or respect in those areas. Either that or the language is written like a legal document. If you like C because you've played around with it, understand the abstract machine and can write it safely working with a modern standard, don't expect embedded development to be ANYTHING like that.
Me too. I know Keep is going to get cancelled but I use it so much.
One of the things that you imply is another issue: inheriting someone’s functional code is brutal. I’d rather inherit mediocreville php than decipher the “clever” code that someone who got excited by scalaz polished for weeks.
Technology that scans artwork in 5D and cryptographically cut it to create NFTs
Have you written any C at all? This post sort of reads like you don't know what you are asking for... C is a lot of fun, I don't want to discourage you, but if you don't have any experience with it the odds that you are going to be able to get a job in it are low. C is a high-risk high-reward language and writing programs in it competently requires a lot of patience and practice. It isn't shocking that even entry-level positions would want you to already know quite a bit about it.

Speaking from my own experience (and this is a route that might work for you if you are sure you wanna do this): At a previous employer, I worked as a C# developer at a transitioned into a C/C++ role when there was an opening on that team. I didn't do it because I wanted to learn C specifically, but that was one of the appealing things about the opportunity. (I also had already written some C in college, though that was years ago.) So looking for an organization that does C and other stuff and starting in the other stuff might be a valid way to go.

That said, the company only took a chance on me because I was already fully competent in the organization's domain and I had proven myself in a less challenging position; they believed I could learn. It was a huge learning curve for me and it took several months for me to get up to speed and be useful as a pure C developer, and this was with more experienced developers mentoring me every day. I am still nowhere near being a C expert; I am just good enough to be useful. (I also no longer work with it day-to-day, because I'm not at that company anymore, though I miss it sometimes.)

Honestly, it sounds like you should focus on your family first and your C aspirations at home or as a hobby. Think about how this ends: If you get into a position using C, and find it hard or just decide it isn't for you, do you really wanna be worried about losing your job or doing badly at it while dealing with your new baby?

Depends. At a silly pay level I’d probably do it until I’m fired for whatever it is (refusing to print my source code, or correcting some bogus claim of his about Ukraine on Twitter).

But yeah they’d need to pay at least twice as much as the company across the street.

And I end my work day at 5pm sharp every day, and work from home.
I mean, yeah, we should have brought his helmet, even with training wheels on. You can still fall and crack your skull. I know that and I don't dispute he should've been wearing his helmet.

As for why we didn't go back, his decision to try taking the wheels off was completely unexpected -- he had been dead set against it for quite a while -- and I didn't want to take the wind out of his sails by saying, "Okay, but you have to wait 15 more minutes while I quickly hop in the car, drive back home, get your helmet, and come back with it."

It was a calculated risk, and you can always argue that we shouldn't have taken it.

The point of the whole story is exactly what you said in the last sentence. It's not so much what people think they're entitled to say, it's how they say it. Just look at the replies to my story: you've got a whole bunch of people who think it's perfectly fine to lecture me about how I'm part of the problem here and to do so in a rather hostile manner.

This is the kind of thing I was trying to point out in the first place, the fact that the more and more people these days feel entitled to be crappy to other people in order to prove some point.

In quite a few buyout cases, the buyer only buys what's left after the FDIC pays out any losses. The FDIC prefers to do it this way since having an intact set of customers is valuable to the acquiring bank and helps defer the cost and especially administrative overhead of disbursing insured funds.

"Purchase and Assumption Transaction. This is the preferred and most common method, under which a healthy bank assumes the insured deposits of the failed bank. Insured depositors of the failed bank immediately become depositors of the assuming bank and have access to their insured funds. The assuming bank may also purchase loans and other assets of the failed bank."

Yes, but the tests are cursory. Just drive on the highways in the US and you’ll immediately see that the testing regime doesn’t work. Also, you just need to pass the meaningless tests once, and then can move from state to state and retain your license well into your oblivious years of senility.
Local namespaces are fine, even desirable since very few names are globally unique.

The problem with ENS is that it apes the federated DNS design without the oversight mechanisms. In the example you gave, an impersonator is subject to the rules of their Mastodon instance and the operators can handle things like lost credentials or an account compromise, and if a particular host is not a good custodian many people will block the entirely. ENS has none of those corrective mechanisms and I suspect that they’ll slowly be added over time to get usage.
The only upside to all the lack of buttons and switches is security. You cannot open the glove box, trunk, drink, or the vehicle without your phone or car key card.
> The primary issue here is that it is expensive to move data between processing units

I'm thinking of them all on a chip (or even same core) with external DRAM shared, and cpu cache shared.

> and having them share memory has all the common problems with race conditions and cache invalidation

That's pretty well a solved problem, or modern OS's wouldn't work.

> providing more capabilities on the same processor looks like it will win out for some time yet

I agree, for now, tomorrow's cpu will look like today's. But further out, I expect my view might perhaps start coming to pass.

> pass a square wave through a lowpass filter

I suppose: in the original problem we want to see what a sinc multiplied by sinc looks like (in time domain) or rect convolved with rect (analyzing in fourier domain). Also the width of the rects we're convolving with is shrinking after each time.

As you mentioned, to see what a rect convovled with a rect looks like, I think you can treat a convolution with rect as a lowpass filter (this should not be confused with convolving with sinc which gives an ideal" lowpass filter), and this gives intuition for why the erosion occurs.

What's not clear a priori to me is that the erosion will indeed actually reach the center. I think this depends on how fast the rect you're convolving with is shrinking, if it shrunk faster than {1, 1/3, 1/5, ...} then I don't think it would. I guess the easiest way to see this visually is to use the sliding method Grant showed, where the width of the y=1 peak after convolution is the overlapping width of the two rects. Thus we get 1, 1-1/3, 1-1/3-1/5,... which eventually < 0

There absolutely are bad microservice architectures, that's a weird claim to make. Good microservice architectures minimize or entirely eliminate the friction around the coordination and debugging.
I'm working on splitting out a monorepo as we speak and I'm determining tradeoffs we'll need to make. If I do this wrong, there will be a lot of pain around navigating between the services, but there are choices I can make now that minimize (or eliminate in some cases) that pain.

I recommend you find a way to spend time with someone who knows how to design a quality microservices architecture. It will completely change your opinion about how microservices interact and the supposed "pain" therein.
"And with every few orders of magnitude of growth the current architecture would start to show cracks in reliability and performance, and engineers would start to spend more time with virtual duct tape and WD40 than building new innovative products. At each of these inflection points, engineers would invent their way into a new architectural structure to be ready for the next orders of magnitude growth."

That last part, to me, is the key to success: getting the whole business to do things in a new way. That is fucking hard. If you can get your business to do it, you have an invaluable superpower. The more things that you can reinvent, faster, gives you more and more superpowers. It's one thing to change your architecture. But also imagine getting every employee to change how they deal with vacations, suppliers, customers, finance, or involving entirely new industries. The easier it is to adapt and change, the longer you survive and the more you thrive. Evolution, baby.
> Based on the article, it's not clear that they are breaking any law, and in fact Texas passed the Reasonable Childhood Independence law that should allow this.

The article points out that that Texas law did not change the criminal code, so even though it was no longer a family law violation (hence CPS dismissed the case), it was still technically a criminal violation (hence the mom still had to plea bargain or go to trial).

Actually, among the MAGMA companies I've found the _least_ bias for leetcode-memorization at Amazon.

My interview with Meta was exactly as you described (a CS riddle taken from a textbook, to be solved without running the code or receiving hints). But in my interview with Amazon, each coding interview also included a couple leadership questions. If you want you can look up the exact questions that they'll give you to test what they call their "Leadership Principles"

Also the Amazon coding questions were not taken directly from Leetcode, and were easily reasoned out without prior knowledge of a special algorithm.

> This is the fault of the nosey neighbor

Only in the most unproductive way. You're not going to fix the problem by exterminating all nosy neighbors. If your new roof leaks when it rains, it's not the rain's fault, blame it on the person who builds roofs ignoring the unavoidable fact that rain will eventually fall.
Another observation is that this doesn't prevent kidnapping or sex trafficking. Individuals choose to do those things to other people, and those actions are illegal. We don't blame the victims for this reason, we don't blame prey either for their availability to be preyed on.
> You're still going to get to where you want to go and you'll still get a seat. That's the service you're paying for.

The service I'm paying for includes an assigned seat, just like my ticket to the movies does. Its not justifiable for an airline - A federally regulated industry, not some mom and pop local business - to intentionally degrade the quality of their product to nickle and dime their customers.

Lets expand your premise a little: Should toll roads charge families extra tolls if they are in the same car together? There's revenue there - a family is certainly getting more use out of the "privledge" of traveling together than two strangers, or one person. Should NFL stadiums, movie theaters, concerts charge extra for booking seats that are adjacent? Revenue and 'Value' there as well. How about hotels? Trying to book 3 rooms for a company-conference visit, it'll be $100 for the first room, $250 for the second, and $500 for the 3rd.
Things like Java RMI existed beforehand and there was the elements of industry moving towards server-based partitioning of services - the big difference is none of it was formalized and there was little consistent language of which to speak about these paradigms. At the beginning yes, people would discuss having one mainframe call another mainframe but today that would be SoA.

I think number 1 could be done, but not like Evernote did.

It's been what? 3 years since they released their javascript app, and they still didn't rewrite some important old features. Just last week we got back the option to start writing a note in the title instead of the body.

3 years!

I could write an entire Evernote competitor from scratch in 3 years, as a single developer (as a javascript app, not as multiple native apps).

And they STILL don't have reliable note-synching.

It took them too long, and their app is too crappy. But a GOOD rewrite would have worked just fine.

Not really. You can copy the new parts and reference the old, garbage collect dead things, etc. At least in languages where immutability is a core tenet vs stuck on as an after thought.

Is it as fast mutable everything? No, some copy must happen, but is a mutable-standard languages as fast as raw hand tuned asm? Also (probably) no, but the trade offs are worth it. It likely matters a lot less than you think unless you're writing actually performance critical tight loop code vs just thinking about performance.
