I believe that Graalvm has the ability to take an optimization snapshot at runtime to both build an initial boot pre-optimized mode but I think this is also how their native image is optimized. I'm not entirely sure if the Graalvm native images run a JIT.
Anything that runs over fiber isn’t viable for remote areas due to cost of trenching and laying out fiber.
So far I file this as another in the long line of very handwavy scandals that Democrats did. I'd be more willing to consider merits when someone writes an article and explains what the accusation is instead of the hypey tone with not very clear emails. Seems like more "this is huge! gamechanging" type of story that was used for Benghazi where I couldn't even figure out who was being accused of what.

I don't doubt there are some individuals who acted too politically at Twitter, but of course many people are going to insist this should be the only thing discussed in the media and should invalidate Biden and make everything anyone has ever said in the media false.
It doesn't? Pretty sure this is true…

> FAANG doesn't do this. Hire great people, trust them, communicate async frequently, coordinate planning infrequently. This reads like a manifesto for "we hired a bunch of subpar developers and don't give them any ownership or empowerment". Pass.

I work at a high performing remote-first company. This is how we do it. Ownership where I work includes an engineer, a TPM, sometimes an exec or manager. The gist is that there's individual ownership over:

- Technical outcomes

- Business outcomes

- Customer outcomes

- Integration outcomes

Sometimes it can take us a while to agree on direction, but that's okay. For the (potential) slowness with respect to direction, it makes identifying, prioritizing, and fixing bugs much more simple. It also speeds up incident response quite a bit.
I wish that were the case. But I had multiple users shilling "pedophile elite" conspiracy theory at me yesterday.

It's disappointing how there's real stunningly outrageous stuff and you just brush it away under the umbrella of Q.

Epstein was revealed to have an ungodly long list of elites from around the world visiting his island full of minors that were sexually abused and trafficked. Hollywood openly cooperated with Weinstein for decades only for it to all explode. All were liberal, metropolitan social circles that openly admit everyone knew what was going on, it was all an open secret, yadda yadda. Then they do this theatrical routine about starting a movement to shift the culture to be better, even though they were all complicit with the evil for decades.

Now Balenciaga does this photo shoot where children are posed with all these overt satanic references, not to mention a freaking legal document from a child pornography case?

This isn't some harebrained conspiracy theory, it's obvious evil.
There were no threats to human life. Safety? A bit, but nothing major.
Yes and no. 30Mbps on a landline with zero packet loss and fixed latency is noticeably different than Starlink/5G/Wireless connections that are only mostly reliable.

It’s like how playing a game at rock solid 30 FPS is actually fine, but games with average frame rate of 30FPS that have significant random stuttering can be unplayable.

SpaceX already has contracts for a Missile Defense Shield (w/ SDA, now part of Space Force). Govt program was started by Mike Griffin-- one of the early founders of Strategic Defense Initiative, space kill vehicles, and SpaceX itself.

His history with Elon is fascinating.

It doesn't help that the aristocratic educational system of having a handful of tutor/mentors as the primary means of education has fallen (steeply) out of fashion.

People greatly underestimate just how effective children can learn. They're basically capable of absorbing as much information as you can pump into them. It's a delicate balance making sure they learn enough basic human operating stuff in addition to everything else, but the results can be remarkable.

I remember hanging out at camp with a kid who loved board games. Especially probability based ones, such liar's dice and Dominion, but also more general hidden information games like Stratego. Kid was undeniably a prodigy, and he kicked my ass every time. I had just graduated university with studying CS and Physics, this kid was looking forward to starting kindergarten in the fall.
It's been ages since I've browser the news-stands. I recall having seen "Wired" as a printed magazine and Popular Science. Sadly the classics like "Byte", "EDN" are long gone.

You might want to join the IEEE, they still publish some fantastic printed magazines.

That's just not true. Making some things impossible by a company with Apple's clout prevents the exploitation of people who will click "next, next" to disable protections without really understanding the implications.

I'd never really thought about it as an alternative for Redis, but yeah if you can handle the huge performance decrease (which for many projects I imagine wouldn't matter in the slightest) that could maybe work pretty well!
Encryption should be at a higher layer, preferably from the end client to end the server, to provide any security. To be fair, the fact that the data is being transmitted wirelessly does mean that encryption is 100% required or else someone could easily spy on you.

Who was at actual risk during Fyre Festival? I watched one of the docs. It was an absolute shit show and people were super uncomfortable for a while. Actual risk that's an order of magnitude worse seems like an overreach.
I never quite understood what the advantage of a JIT runtime is. A RegEx expression that gets complied to machine code but is specified at runtime makes sense, but as a general language paradigm, why is this useful compared to ahead of time compilation code that is known ahead of time? Is there some efficiency to be had from doing JIT vs not doing it and some heuristic you can deduce to find hot loops and optimize them as the program runs?
@dang please unflag this. This is very important.
It is true but the general interest level and attention to detail in industry is not what it once was. By recent, I want to say around 2012-2013+.

You’re being downvoted but you don’t see poor jurisdictions behaving like this. Those governments have their hands full with their “real” mandates. There’s little room in the budget for boondoggle junk like dragnets.
It's still kind of odd to think that you can be an in-favor executive at a company, then somebody else can buy your company, fire you, and go back and read all your work emails (many of which would be extremely sensitive) and share it with journalists who then screenshot it and share it with the world on the same platform that employed you!

This was always a possibility (and a probability- my friend was a lawyer who went through senior employee emails at whatever company to find incriminating evidence to fire them... 20 years ago). But it's just odd to see somebody do it in realtime, blatantly, while also claiming they are doing some incredible product work.

Maybe twitter's policies were bad, and applied inconsistently. But there is no clear evidence that they explicitly favored one party, and to be honest- I don't really care if they do. If Elon thinks this is some sort of big shock that will cause people to get excited.... I can't really see why.
While the US is urging a ban on TikTok, I'm curious why the world at whole is not waking up and banning US-owned and operated social media - obviously it's an even bigger risk.
I can’t tell if you’re being cute and trying to carve out some exemption here when it’s clear what I’m talking about I think but let’s operate on good faith.

The owner with an 80% voting control of the company has had some very serious issues in judgement lately not limited to the Twitter fiasco but has also made a number of public moves that were very friendly towards what the US has called their biggest national security threat repeatedly for the past half decade or longer.

In a national security context that would be generally thought of as a completely unacceptable amount of leverage for your main enemy to have over your national security infrastructure.

This isn’t some mindless Elon bashing post, I’m presenting this as an actual honest to god problem for natsec.
I bought a used car (2010 Honda) with built in car gps unit. It’s not great but it’s always on. It had all the previous owners address look up history.

Musk has had some trouble recently, but I thought it was pretty well known that Shotwell pretty much runs the show at SpaceX & has for some time. I may be completely incorrect, but I think Musk is mostly just a mascot/figurehead/hype-man for SpaceX & has been for a bit. Regarding most of the day-day stuff that is, he probably still has some input on very long term matters.

But I think if Musk were to die in a mysterious Tesla fire tomorrow, not much would change for the worse at the company for quite some time.

If you're curious about learning more about PSR as it was intended to be implemented, I can't recommend Justin Roczniak's writing (and podcasting) around it. He wrote essentially the same article for the New York Times not too long ago[0], and his longer-form podcast discussion is even better if you have the time[1].

In his telling (and I'm paraphrasing heavily here), PSR — as it was originally designed — was meant to get everything on precise scheduling (surprise), thereby allowing you to better predict when and where you'd need workers well in advance. That would let you better optimize not just your trains but also your workforce. If you have a schedule, you can make optimizations that keep train cars from sitting around, and your workers reap the benefits of a fixed schedule (time off, less on-call time, things like that).

In practice, getting things to run on a schedule often meant capital costs that a of these companies balked at, like upgrades to rail yards and track maintenance to keep things running on schedule. The only real part of P.S.R. that ended up getting adopted, as this article points out, is the optimization part. But without the capital investments, you don't get a precise schedule, nor do you get any of its implied benefits.

Optimizations ended up meaning things like pulling more cars with fewer trains. I don't think the article mentions this in explicit terms, but these longer trains are often a few miles long. This length means the trains don't fit in rail yards, nor do they fit in the sidings that allow Amtrak trains to pass them (which in turn keeps Amtrak trains from running on time). Since trains don't fit in the yards, they have to leave as soon as possible, and since there's no fixed scheduling, "as soon as possible" ends up meaning any time at all with little notice, meaning engineers are on call almost all the time. Plus, when you have a train that's almost 3 miles long, they're more likely to derail on curves, and staff have to walk literal miles to fix problems along the train.

There's a whole lot more to this than I can repeat off-hand on a Friday afternoon, but this issue isn't going to go away. The rail industry is untenable, and given how scared everyone is of a rail strike, it also isn't going away any time soon.

I agree with you, and I’m surprised Matt glossed over it. I think the question for me as a more government trusting person is;

What is the difference between the government providing unique information, because of its potential Intelligence insights, and what is the government trying to get things taken down that are not against twitters policies
I had never heard of kiwi farms before. Disgusting...
If you really want to go galaxy brain, you have to consider than it's just providing a feasible answer to the question and it's not actually the real prompt. That prompt seems way too short and vague to really represent what's going on with this model
yes, devops teams are chill as well

Their actual tech work is made by code.
And it leaves them time to chat with anyone else at the company, or at the customer, to figure out new things that could serve them.

I also love to just teach someone about the tools.
When the needs can be served super easily and the guy is interested, it's great not to do the work yourself, but to guide them into this culture of 'automation&chats over teas'.

The more ppl do pipeline on their own, aim for value and clean, simple code, go for high added value work, and drink tea with coworkers and customers, the more your company starts to gain.
I worked for a number of years in the appliance and controls business, doing residential and commercial/restaurant equipment. I'm gonna write some random observations, not in any order or meaning. It could all be bullshit, and your experiences will most likely be different.

- Features sell appliances. More features command more money. But 99% of users don't do more than 2-3 operations with their units, usually no more than the basic unit will perform.

- Some appliances are furniture, literally. People will put $10,000 Wolf ranges in their homes and then eat carryout for years. The wine cooler gets touched once a year.

- A lot of manufacturers have zero experience in controls/electronics. It's shopped out to the lowest bidder and screwed into the unit at the assembly line.

- The manufacturers that do have electronics experience overthink it.

- Nobody tests the usability of the appliances until it's nearly done. Next year's model is the same as last year's with one new feature added.

- I worked with one company that did massive amounts of design and focus group testing on a wall oven. Took years. By the time they had a design they liked and got it programmed, the graphics and layout looked obsolete.

- A decent graphics/UI toolkit like Qt is too expensive for appliance makers, who count pennies. So it all runs on a 10 year old 16-bit CPU with an 8-bit color display.

- There's no market pressure because nobody cares. A radically usable and nice looking UI won't sell any more units than a cheap model with a shitty UI. People buy on price, and if it fits in their kitchen.
Feel free to cite the research then, otherwise:

"I am so, so tired of socialists who admit that the current system is a helltopian torturescape, then argue that we must prevent anyone from ever being able to escape it. Who promise that once the last alternative is closed off, once the last nice green place where a few people manage to hold off the miseries of the world is crushed, why then the helltopian torturescape will become a lovely utopia full of rainbows and unicorns. If you can make your system less miserable, make your system less miserable! Do it before forcing everyone else to participate in it under pain of imprisonment if they refuse! Forcing everyone to participate in your system and then making your system something other than a meat-grinder that takes in happy children and spits out dead-eyed traumatized eighteen-year-olds who have written 10,000 pages on symbolism in To Kill A Mockingbird and had zero normal happy experiences - is doing things super, super backwards!" https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/book-review-the-cult-o...

I guess you could try to massage the word “regulate” to make it untrue but given Twitter has literally been fined by the FTC multiple times and is subject to a consent decree which applies legal culpability to Twitter executives unless they do what the FTC require… they are absolutely at the behest of the US government.
I moved from one room in the house to another room when working remotely, and I experienced a similar drop in my speed due to being farther away from the Wi-Fi access point. And yes, there's not much you can't do with one that you could with the other.

I made this choice voluntarily but tech geeks should visit the homes of non-tech people and see that (a) their speed is limited more by their connection to the Wi-Fi access point than by the ISP, and (b) they aren't bothered by it.

Bad (and/or slow) memory too. By slow I mean I’ll remember later but not when needed.

With football, if you are not into it I think it is OK not to remember.
Often there is peer

Can’t wait till it is over so I can hide my lack of interest in other people playing sports.

I print out stuff to remember who is in what team as the teams shuffle around alot.

BBC has a puff piece saying eat blueberries and green tea, guess there is not much to lose trying that.

My issue is yes I can remember stuff
if I try but I don’t soak up everything in realtime. In conversation I am either paying attention or remembering details but not both.

Not sure on the answer!
