The problem is he didn't put enough corporate wank on it. Should have said "Thanks for the suggestion, we are always looking in to the best way forward for the company and we will keep this in consideration and keep you updated with any changes."

Even if he did only care about results, it's a likely scenario that 4 day weeks reduce results or at the least introduce a risk that isn't worth taking. I think the average worker actually prefers just being required to work a certain amount and as long as you aren't extremely bad at your job, you'll be fine even if you have a slow week/month. Rather than being frequently being audited for results and pressured to work longer hours to keep your output up with everyone else.
I'm thinking the same. I'd like to use FPGA to create some circuits, maybe start from simple ones such as ALU and build up to CPU. Not sure if it's good idea though.
Polling is optional. The Linux driver defaults to using interrupts only, but the nvme driver can be passed an option to allocate one or more queues with interrupts disabled to be used for polled IO. (You can also configure it to use separate queues for reads and writes, instead of just trying to allocate one queue per CPU core.)
Computers are getting better than human at solving these challenges. So recaptcha v4 might end up being a micropayment system since humans still have more money than bots.

In general something being normal for humans for millennia does not mean it was healthy. It was normal to have incredibly painful teeth, probably not healthy. It was normal to die before reaching adulthood.

It is entirely possible that something that was done for a long time is a healthy thing just as it is entirely possible that it was a terrible thing that we conquered with knowledge and abundance. Evidence is what tells you if the thing falls into one of those categories.

I like living in a time where we are outraged if children in our community die and in cases where there was nothing that could have been done we want to do research to find something we can do in the future. That was not normal for millennia until really very recently and it seems healthy to me?
Yep. It’s even why the standard library implementation of a doubly link list uses unsafe! Which, I don’t think it a problem. If you’re writing a data structure, it will be under heavy scrutiny, review, and testing so we should be okay with bypassing the compiler checks.
A general golden UX rule is to never cause layout shifts on hover events, preventing this sort of thrashing.

Maybe they should introduce an option to configure which set of defaults is used.

e.g.

defaults=traditional adopts current defaults (that maximise backward compatibility)

defaults=latest adopts latest recommended defaults (better out-of-box user experience, but may break things which depend on the traditional settings)

Then at least there is only one setting to change to get sane defaults.

Maybe even, defaults=VERSION to give you latest defaults as per that version.
It doesn't matter—if a company joins in one of these experiments and drops everyone to 32 hours, we should see a decrease in company-wide productivity if OP is correct that the downtime is useful. If it's not useful, then we should see stable or increased productivity (which is what most companies are reporting).

Citation? What was the context? And why did they go back if they were actually not getting more productivity?

> The idea that people are being actually productive for 40 hours/week sounds pretty absurd to me

The alternative is surely far more absurd. Employees could be working 3 day weeks and producing just as much, and somehow nobody noticed? There exist employee-owned co-ops, and employee-owned startups. If there was an equal-productivity yet far more enjoyable way of working, these companies would be stealing all the best workers. The absence of any evidence of these companies existence is strong evidence that no such effect exists.

Indeed the evidence points in the opposite direction; there are plenty of examples of scrappy small companies putting in crazy hours and getting loads done. I have experienced this first hand, and pick any successful startup and you’re likely to find evidence of positive marginal productivity beyond 40h/week.

The objective research I’ve seen on the subject points to net-zero marginal productivity around 55-60h/week, WAY higher than the 40 you are claiming: https://docs.iza.org/dp8129.pdf

I spent half an hour last night resolving this exact class of bug on a padded clickable widget I was making.

No one told me it had to be perfect, but I care about the user and don't ever want the user to be surprised.

That's the difference you get with outsourcing your engineering team vs developing in-house. If you choose a good team, your developers feel directly responsible for the user experience, go beyond stated requirements, and aren't just doing the bare minimum in order to make a paycheck. A good UX professional is constantly testing their work with unexpected input.
Hopefully this doesn't sound too mean, but "lack of a better way to handle them"? I went on Amazon and searched "floppy reader" and had dozens of hits of external USB floppy readers in the $10-$20 price range (and could probably find one even cheaper if I spent more than 30 seconds looking).

Was there something special about these floppies that made them difficult to handle?

My doctors have always said that losing weight too quickly results in the metabolization of one's muscles and other important, healthy tissue in addition to fat. Could it be that crash dieting works narrowly to solve, for example, diabetes via the loss of fat, but has other negative consequences for the body? Maybe it's not a "doesn't work" thing, but a "collateral damage" thing or a "makes it harder to keep the weight off" thing, which is another old saw of why you shouldn't lose weight too fast?
Exactly.

There is typically no algorithm to correctly decide yes/no on a vulnerability for any input program. But there are algorithms that can correctly report maybe/no. The trivial example: the algorithm that always reports "maybe".

The field of static analysis is about improving on the precision of this trivial algorithm so that it reports "no" whenever it can, within resource constraints.

> Do they decrease as the globe warms?

In the near term (next century) they may well increase in ferocity and intensity.

The physics is straightforward, "mean temp rising" across the entire Earth surface translates to more free energy trapped at the near earth land and water layers, that's more enery for winds (storm) and driving heat pumps (freezing cells).

A relevant overly simplified high physics question is:

There is a freezer with its door open in a sealed room .. over time does the room get hotter or colder?

AGW is projected to have many knock on effects about the globe, pinning down which of these will happen where and to what degree is harder than the simple conclusion that such things will happen - and they are all disruptive to life as we humans know it.

Certainly there was an entire cottage industry of well-paid consultants popularising these ideas around the 80s and 90s and yes, there was something distinctly cult-like about the scene and the Six Sigma Green Belt and Black Belt trainings that grew out of them.

In the 70-90's worked on Burroughs / Unisys B6700 - A Series computers. They are all stack based and they were very interesting how they worked and some very cool things they could do. Languages like Algol, Cobol, Pascal ran really well. Multi dimension arrays took a big hit with needing to do array descriptors, so big Fortran wasn't the best.

Currently it runs as a emulation on Intel hardware. So as a VM it would be the best example out there.
The ACLU cited multiple examples, from more than one state, of individuals being coerced to sign anti-boycott pledges.

Unless you are willing to actually refute those examples (plural!) as untrue, it is absurd for you to claim that there's no threat to the individual right to boycott. Simply asserting that all such overreaches will eventually and inevitably be corrected by the courts does not mean the rights are not at risk, and being infringed in the meantime, by multiple laws in multiple states.

The geopolitical aspects of this are important.

China has been long fighting to expand its sphere of influence into SE Asia.

Vietnam pissed off China when it invaded Cambodia to dispose the Khmer Rouge which led to the Sino-Vietnam war of 1979.

The Laos government is very cozy with the Vietnamese government so no doubt the Belt and Road initiative is concerning to Vietnam in terms of its influence on Laos.
You misspoke multiple times.

Restarting the NS2 certification process was nowhere to be seen on the horizon, so there is no real point to blow it up from the standpoint of the US (nevermind that actually blowing it up would be insane for the US.. the reality would be diplomatic and soft-power options, of which the US has plenty).
It was dead already.
Also all signs were pointing towards NS1 and NS2 being dead in the water for the future too, since the gas storage was filling up despite no more imports at all from Russia, the new LNG terminals making good progress, existing LNG import terminals running at capacity.

And would still like to see any kind of evidence from you that Germany would have certified NS2 if the US hadn't said anything.
> It was normal to have incredibly painful teeth, probably not healthy.

Is this actually true? I thought archaic humans had much better dental outcomes because their diets had a small fraction of the sugars that modern diets do. Could be wrong but I was definitely under the impression that poor dental health was more a function of modern diet and not something that necessarily existed throughout history.
Randomized link goes to an except of North Korea's "Korean Central TV" where NK announces their Hwasong-17 launch. It's in music video style, make of that what you will, and seems to contain a fraction of the information at <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hwasong-17>. It is not clear to me whether this was actually tested with a nuclear warhead, the video doesn't get more concrete than "[this is] a reliable nuclear war deterrence means" which could just mean it deters nuclear war, not that it's nuclear in itself. I don't know whether this supports the claim that it is "really" nothing new.

It's a details, but I keep seeing it:

> Yet, [the scientists] struggle to move away from Python, because of network effects, and because Python’s beginner-friendliness is appealing to scientists for whom programming is not a first language.

I don't believe it's the whole story.

In my case, during my 13 years in academia, I saw my field going away from C++ and towards python. Not because of network effects (it was the opposite: it was more difficult to not use what everybody was using), or because scientists were not able to program (the entry language of the whole field was C++, and python arrived only because scientists with a deep knowledge of C++ started to themselves switch the core library to be usable with python).

I think something that computer scientists forgot when they consider the subject is that the way computer scientists do software is just not working when you do science.

In science, you use coding as an exploratory tool. You are lucky if 10% of your code ends up being used in your final publication. Because the 90% was only there to understand and to progress towards the proper direction. For this reason, things like declaring variables, which is very important when one makes a professional software, are too costly to be useful when you need to write down a piece of code that you will ever run once to check a small hypothesis, especially when you have another language not requiring it.
Another aspect is that you will present your scientific results to your colleagues, not your code (they are not interested in that), and they will come up with questions or good ideas, all very good for science, but rarely compatible with the way your algorithm was built in the first place, and you will need to shoe-horn it into your code (to test it) without taking 3 weeks. In this case, python flexibility and hackability is very useful.

It's also visible in the popularity of things like Jupyter notebooks (I have to acknowledge it even if I personally don't like working with such tools), which reuse a working approach similar to what was done in mathematica and matlab, that were created with the scientific workflow in mind.

I'm sure python simplicity has played a role. But I have the feeling that some people are totally oblivious on the fact that there may be other reasons.
My reason is the same from the beginning. It was a casual, tongue-n-cheek tweet. It was mildly funny and consistent w Elon.

If you have weird legacy hardware that needs floppy disks, I wouldn’t buy new media. In my experience most disks made after the mid-late 90s are unreliable and won’t last more than a couple formats before developing bad sectors. I’m not sure why this is, maybe the disk factories stopped maintaining their machinery when sales stopped growing. New old stock disks from the early-mid 90s are definitely the way to go IMO.

That one caught me the other day (shortly after an Android OS update). I only saw it once, with the button down at the bottom of the screen. I can't seem to get it to do that again when I try calling my phone from another phone.

Also, your report is the only instance I've seen to confirm that this happens -- for whatever reason no one believes me when I post something about this to any Android group. Just like I seem to be alone in trying to figure out how to get the Contacts (when launched from the dialer) to show only specific groups (such as contacts with phone numbers). I can do this from the Contacts app, but not the Contacts tab inside the call dialer app.
There's a big and historical overlap. Now these are all distinct topics of study, but in the 80s when these ideas originated there were precious few CS departments. Most all of the software scientists knew each other and were kind of swimming in the same primordial soup of ideas.
