> This is not counting the weeks where I was “on call” and forced to drop all of this to work on a backlog of DevOps related issues.

I want to say sorry at the beginning if I misread what the author (you?) intended when you wrote this. And I'm coming at this from someone who is not a developer and who, compared to the lofty Software Engineer salaries in this industry, feels underpaid and underappreciated for doing the operations/administration work.

With that said: I truly wish those who are leaving their roles where this kind of requirement exists--feels "forced"--would speak more loudly about the need to have actual people doing system administration work. This is especially true, I feel, in large companies who operate "the Cloud" and who ought to know better; someone needs to be doing that work and it can't always, or usually, be the people who are writing the features and implementing the updates to the core product you are selling.

But what seems like has happened is everyone in the tech industry has forgotten it, or named it "Site Reliability Engineer" with a job of 55% failure analysis, 35% coding, and 10% "are the infrastructure and products actually online and functional." And then this role gets looked down on and paid less because the people in the role--people like me--are not seen as "delivering" "value".

Which culminates in the proper software developers seeing it as a thing they are forced to do, resulting in disdain, and furthering the cycle.
SBF has used at least one cpu attached to a network on the critical path of his actions. Will this be enough to cause people to be stupid enough to let his powerful and connected family and friends get him off light? People in positions of power seem to get awfully stupid when there's a cpu attached to the network on the critical path.

Madoff, no cpu on the network on the critical path. All understandable and could have been done the same with paper and a filing cabinet.

SBF - so the code actually does (brain shuts down).

Interesting to see if this is so extreme people will keep thinking through the part where they want to stop because "computer"
While Rothbard is of course one of the major figures in libertarianism, he is also notorious for overstating things, and making claims about what "libertarianism" requires that are not endorsed by other prominent libertarians. The claim under discussion here is a case in point.
Tangential aside: I always thought his Twitter handle was "geohot" or something along these lines. I remember it from the early days of his rise to fame through iphone jailbreaking.
You could do this with a custom extension. No particular solution has proven to be definitely better than the rest, so I'd rather them hold off on officially endorsing one method and getting it wrong then being stuck with that forever.
On plan 9 you can easily edit any text in a window. Seems like a sensible idea.

Why for SpaceX? It’s just a company, if you have kids and family that means you cannot/should not work for SpaceX? Crazy.
The Arm customers targeting Android or Windows really aren't in a position to switch to RISC-V or openPOWER for application processors. Most of the rest of the Arm customer base aren't involved in designing their own processor IP, so they wouldn't be collateral damage in Arm's revenge against Qualcomm/Nuvia. So while Arm's current strategic direction sounds extreme, I'm not sure it will really have much impact outside of their relationship with Qualcomm.
By your definition, it would be fine for them to sell the seat that was your lap to someone else, since your body still has enough volume to exist.

I've often flown in seats where I had to spread my legs (eg into the aisle) so my knees were not pressed up against the seat in front of me. And on most flights, my shoulders are over the armrests. Talking about "the" armrest nicely demonstrates how much we've been saturated by their nonsense.

As I said, I'd have no problem if airlines charged as a linear combination of your weight and the dimensions of your seat. But rather the setup is to gouge an outsized price for a comparatively small amount of additional room, because they'll catch people at the margins over a barrel.
I haven't heard much discussion about any data being released from us or our payloads. Since it is a very commercialised mission I wouldn't expect too much, but if there is anything I will definitely share it here (if thats allowed).
Maybe it's monocrops that are problematic.
I mean, I can understand Basque medieval writings, and also the first word in the discovery the article highlights. Claiming that it didn't exist before the 70s is rather a stretch.

Yes there was a large effort during the 60s to recover the language and unify it in order to use it in education and governance, comparable to the unification of Mandarin Chinese. Not because the language wasn't there but because there were, and still are, significant differences between the dialects of each province, to the point where it can be very hard to understand each other.

And it had to be recovered because using the language was literally criminalized during the dictatorship, so yes, it had to go underground and was forgotten to an extent for a generation. But still, it was spoken in homes in both rural and urban areas. My father's family attended an illegal basque school during the dictatorship, as well as having to bribe officials to give basque names to their children.

It is definitely true that basque has many many loanwords from spanish and other romance languages. There is in fact significant evidence (including this latest discovery), that this intermixing dates all the way back to the Roman occupation with original Latin, before spanish existed, so it makes sense that there is significant shared vocabulary.
The efficiency argument is a huge canard for the applications for which hydrogen makes sense. The "cost of inefficiency" is proportional to the number of charge-discharge cycles. For annual seasonal leveling, the cost is very small compared to diurnal storage.

Hydrogen critics also say "just overbuild the renewables instead". Apparently, dropping excess power on the floor giving an efficiency of its use of ZERO is to be preferred to making hydrogen with it at efficiency great than zero.

As a onewheel owner, one feature I think needs to be eliminated from the device are the "digital shaping modules" that allow you to modify the behavior of the board via software. It should has only one mode, which is "do everything possible to make sure the user doesn't crash"

I only had one fall on my onewheel with ~2 years of use, and that was when I was testing one of the "smooth ride" software modes and it therefore didn't move forward as quickly as I usually expected (because it was emphasizing "smooth" over "responsive") causing me to fall forward. There was absolutely no good reason for that fall to happen, I think.

It's surprising that SBF sounds so libertarian suddenly - he was lobbying for government control of crypto just one month ago (which rightfully made him super-unpopular among the OG crypto crowd) https://www.moneyandstate.com/blog/response-to-sbf

He does sound sincere here - no idea what to make of this.

Another way of putting this might be that it's reasonable to assume that most legislation/laws/procedures/policies are in fact created in good faith, and one can also assume that those advocating for them will do a good job covering the benefits. Where the work is needed, therefore, is in considering the unintended side-effects (of either enforcement or poor enforcement)

Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed by the level of discourse this post has generated. I'm also an outspoken skeptic of findings in the field of psychology, but the article is quite well formed and well argued. If anything, accepting the nitpicking from a lot of these comments would result in psychology being _less_ rigorous and precise. A lot of psychology's problems comes from how readily available it seems to be to everyday experience. We're only 100 years from Lewis Terman and H. H. Goddard thinking they could measure intelligence by having people circle a face judged to be "more attractive", it's a young science and improving the rigor of how things are expressed is essential to advancement. Not only are a lot of these terms being used incorrectly, hence why this paper was even published, but because they carry a colloquial and historic baggage that don't reflect academic understandings, or even philosophical understandings of the epistemological concept of science. Words have definitions, and if two people don't share the same definition, then communication breaks down, research is misunderstood, and the field is worse off. This is for people operating within the field to consolidate knowledge, I don't know why people insist that lay understandings of language and a field of study need to be reflected in the terms of art.

To put it in terms that engineers are more likely to appreciate, a lot of these terms would be like "man-hours". Man-hours is obviously a useless term because it 1) implies that increasing workers scales production linearly, 2) implies each individual produces at the same rate, 3) inherits from a factory mode of production that engineers typically don't believe fits their situation, and 4) generally results in poor estimations of cost and delivery times. Obviously if you're trying to be productive as an engineer, your managers only using man-hours as a term invites ambiguity and worse working conditions. Same goes for things like the lay understanding of attention vs its specific meaning as an implementation template within deep learning, or even AI more broadly vs specific neural network techniques.

This is where I really appreciate how Kidpower teaches kids about safety with strangers. They focus on the positive while making sure kids are equipped to make wise decisions when a person or situation is not safe:

- a stranger is someone you don’t know

- most strangers are good

- the safety rules for strangers are to check first with your grown-ups before talking to, going with, or getting something from a stranger

- for kids who are old enough to be out and about on their own, checking first changes to thinking first, i.e. evaluating the situation

- if you are having an emergency where you can’t check first, you can get help from a stranger without needing to check first

$27 million in A round funding for a terminal emulator, folks. And it's written in Rust! For Macs only! All it needs is to detect and respond to the state of your gut bacteria and it'd be truly peak Hackernews.

Good thing they got that funding a few months ago instead of now, when there's far less VC money sloshing around and the Juicero of the command line looks like a far less enticing proposition.

Whoa, this is really cool. It really does remind me of how using the original iPod felt, which is weird in an especially fun and awkward way because I tried it from an Android device.

Nicely done.
> The goal of this article is to promote clear thinking and clear writing among students and teachers of psychological science by curbing terminological misinformation and confusion.

> We also do not address problematic terms that are restricted primarily to popular (“pop”) psychology, such as “codependency,” “dysfunctional,” “toxic,” “inner child,” and “boundaries,” as our principal focus is on questionable terminology in the academic literature. Nevertheless, we touch on a handful of pop psychology terms (e.g., closure, splitting) that have migrated into at least some academic domains.

I’m not aware that “dopamine hit” has migrated into some academic domains as it is kind of a slang among laypeople with the meaning of indulging in an activity they like. So I think “dopamine hit” specifically is out of scope for this article. “Chemical imbalance” on the other hand is a problematic term that has been used historically to promote inaccurate—and thoroughly disproved—models of mental illness. I guess the term is—somewhat worryingly—still being used among academics in the literature, and that’s why it was granted a place on this list.
> By comparison, I never experienced such churn with perl.

I literally have 20+ years old perl scripts, usually doing one single thing (many of them) still working on new machines without issues.

I've rewritten some stuff from python(2) to perl (instead of python3) because i was unsure when a new rewrite for whatever reasons...

Now, more python stuff needs fixing, while perl still works.

“Abort to Orbit” constitutes a mission failure and therefore doesn’t increase reliability. It decreases severity (and therefore lowers risk) by limiting loss of crew/spacecraft, but it’s not quite the same as increasing reliability
Interestingly for me this dont work with .zsh out of the box on my mac(i run a deliberately minimalist .zsh) what did you actually do to enable it.

esc -> v does work both with bash and mksh on ubuntu with stock config but not out of the box with zsh on my macbook so i suspect there is something missing im my one line .zshrc file.

Capital V is an actual vim command btw triggering linewise visual mode and that does somewhat seem to actually seem to be the functionality of shift-v by default in zsh.
Apparently some users have attached smaller wheels to the front of the Onewheel that engage during a nosedive [1]. I wonder how effective these are at preventing injury.

When I clicked on this I thought, why not just have a cable-guided ferry instead? (Which already is a common thing) I assumed they'd have to make maneuvers not possible with a cable. But it already is?!

Then why not just tug the cable instead, much better efficiency then propellers.

Edit: ok, it is.
Though what I've seen is that the motors are pulled from shore rather than on the boat. Which seems simpler, but this is maybe easier to retrofit.
To expand (I can't edit now)... ESEA anti-cheat is posited as Hyper-V specific, but it's actually against being virtualized in general.

I was able to work around this with KVM on Linux with a GPU passed to a Windows VM.

I tweaked the libvirt XMLs (VM definitions) a few key ways and was able to convince ESEA it's bare metal, but not Valorant. I never got to play it, but it's fine by me :)

This combination works well enough, I only boot up Windows when I need a couple anti-cheats I've managed to trick (that also can't work in Proton)
Melting tungsten in atmospheric conditions is not really useful. You start with tungsten oxide as a gas and it reacts with hydrogen and tungsten powder precipitates out. The powder is then heated and compressed to form a polycrystalline billet (sintering).

Technically speaking, the first step in tig welding aluminum is to melt the tungsten and it forms a little ball. It is not hard to reach the required temperature. You can just put a lightbulb filament in 220 socket and it will melt the tungsten in a split second. That being said, a crucible of molten tungsten is not a thing.
I have to admit, it sounds a lot crazier before you learn that there are already cables running along the channel that the boat uses. This also means that this can't generalize outside of channels that already have cabled crossings.

Given that constraint, I wonder about operating these ferries more like a ski lift then. If we're already stringing cables across the channel might it make more sense to keep them on shore away from the water?

This and the NYT interview are not puff pieces. They are handing SBF the rope to hang himself with, putting his confession on the record.

Not sure what what the people pushing this narrative aren’t understanding.

If they wanted to protect him they would refuse to interview him and try to convince him not to speak to anyone but counsel about this.
I'm not fighting, only offering an opinion. We simply disagree at a fundamental level.

My first and main point is that 80% of software developers, the silent majority of so-called "bread programmers", do not grasp these concepts. So even if the concept is great, it doesn't matter.

Second, and this is purely based on experience, I do not subscribe to the idea that your envisioned way of writing a new business feature is very realistic or useful. It leads to dependency hell, difficult to understand code, which is difficult to debug. I don't even subscribe to the idea (anymore) that if you're asked to implement a business feature, that it is implied that you should write it as if it can be torn apart and used for some imagined other feature. Nobody asked for that, we just made that up.

One can say that I've become a DRY infidel. I don't expect you to agree, very few would agree. Yet I've arrived here for a reason: 20 years of headaches looking at "best practice" codebases.

> At that point, simply being "private" has no advantage.

Based on the experience given above as well as my own experience, I'm going to guess the poster was talking about Catholic parochial schools. Catholic parochial schools were the original public schools in North America and still operate as such today, except obviously no public funding in the United States (they do in some provinces of Canada).

Either way, they'll accept basically anyone. However, they do consistently give better results anyway, even adjusting for income and social status. Actually, the effect is most pronounced in the lowest incomes. The richer you are, the less difference parochial v public makes (of course going to super cushy private schools puts you at an advantage).
Also torpedos (for example, from submarines)

His defense against "you took user deposits and gambled the money" is "No, I took user deposits, loaned them to myself and then gambled the money".

I mean this is like nested layers of stupidity. You'd be stupid to do this, you'd be stupid to think it's not a major crime, you'd be stupid to think that this was in any way acts as a defense of your crime and you'd be stupid to actually tell people that this is what you did thinking that it's a defense for the crime you committed.

Guy literally though that Ponzi schemes would be legal if only the perpetrators on the way to court wrote on a document "I hereby lend myself all the money I misappropriated"?

As I stated above, the cost of inefficiency is proportional to the number of charge/discharge cycles.

For seasonal storage, efficiency is 365x less important than for diurnal storage. Minimizing capital cost is the primary concern.
> Why else would anyone give that kind of money to politicians without expecting something in return?

Because they think the candidates they support will make the world better either personally for you or in a more general sense? Oil companies give money to manchin because they know he agrees with them and if he wins will fight for their legislation, whether they funded him or not.
