This is one of the primary resaons I ditched Windows for Macos.

The multitasking on Windows is ridiculously bad.

Also, applications that freeze and can't be killed/restarted are simply part of life on Windows.

Add to all that, Window slows down over time - again, the periodic reformat and rebuild is part of life on Windows. After I switched to Mac I didn't need to rebuild the operating system essentially ever.

Also, the registry - I think the worst idea in all computing. Prior to the registry you plopped a windows application in a location and configured it with an INI file. After the registry the entire operating system and all applications turned into one big ball of chewing gum, glue and hair dredged out of the shower drain.

How can Windows have got it so wrong?
Not like in the US. Compared to the symphony of light of peak firefly season in the US, there are indeed no fireflies anywhere in Europe. That is a hill I will die on.

I would define that as “helpful” or “useful to society”, not meaningful.
Your "wild-ass guesses" for costs are worth as much as you say. Grade, less: it affects mainly how long the penstock must be, but pipe is cheap.

An earthen berm is a very cheap construction project. Classically those were achieved with hand labor worldwide, for millennia, eventually augmented with wheelbarrows starting in China, and oxcarts. They cost less today.

Nature providing one, two, three, or four walls (steepness optional) reduces construction cost, but the turbines and pumps are a substantial part of the total.

Opex is of course extremely low. Bonus points for solar farms floating on the reservoirs. Round-trip efficiency of pumped hydro is near the top of all alternatives, although efficiency is relatively unimportant when the power being stored was free.
It's a problem on any platform that wants more readable text on low resolution. The only platform I know of that chose precise text layout over contrast regardless of the resolution is macOS. On Windows, ClearType still behaves as I described above. On Linux, it depends FreeType settings, which you don't know in advance, so you have to assume that it will happen.
I meant Transport Layer packages.

Thank you! I'll take a look.
I think the question they're making is why a shell-oriented ecosystem usually preferred over an Emacs one. Or differently why most users prefer an environment consisting of distinct libraries/apps rather Emacs and packages made for it.
If you’re willing to give some inexperienced companies the benifit of the doubt, you can reasonably assume they just might not have it together yet. I doubt there was mal-intent, it sounds like budgets and headcount got yanked back, which sucks for both the candidate and the team that is trying to hire.

In a larger company I’ve worked at (and have hired for), they had a process where if the candidate passed the first 2 interviews, you basically get a formal “intent to hire” process started which reserves money for the position that cannot be withdrawn except for VP-level intervention.
Gotcha. It doesn't look like Algolia keeps deleted comments, whereas Firebase does--it marks them deleted.

Personal Edition Limitations

Please note that the LispWorks Personal Edition, distributed free of charge, has the following intentional limitations:

There is a heap size limit which, if exceeded, causes the image to exit. A warning is provided when the limit is approached.
There is a time limit of 5 hours for each session, after which LispWorks Personal exits, possibly without saving your work or performing cleanups such as removing temporary files. You are warned after 4 hours of use.
The functions save-image, deliver, and load-all-patches are not available.
Initialization files are not loaded."

And it is not popular because ...
He may be right in saying that 99% of devs don't know what's under, but the 1% remaining is still a larger crowd that the total amount of devs of the 80s... and they are still essential to the industry.
AI Makes some Blobby Fish (Wow) – Writing an agent-based simulation with ChatGPT
Gary Wang and Caroline Ellison did make a plea deal so that makes it seem like they are going to fully prosecute SBF. Any deal SBF makes will likely be to keep him from spending the rest of his life in prison.
This is not even remotely the same, terrible analogy.

@dang, could the title be updated to indicate that this is another update to the existing blog post? Currently reads like it's a new incident, not the aug2022 incident.

“And I knew I had to finally update. To actually change what I planned to do, to change what I was doing now, to do something different instead.”

Reminds me of the famous Rilke poem:

“Otherwise this stone would seem defaced
beneath the translucent cascade of the shoulders
and would not glisten like a wild beast's fur:

would not, from all the borders of itself,
burst like a star: for here there is no place
that does not see you. You must change your life.”

And pivot he did.

> What is $500 for a tool if it really did make you more productive?

What is $500 for a tool to you if you make lots of money? Sure, that is one question.

The more relevant question is: what is $500 for the tool, to the tool?

In 2020, what $500 for a tool is a kiss of death. Nobody learns it; no third-party ecosystem, no jobs, ...

OK, you can have some free-with-limitations student or personal editions or whatever. In the FOSS-dominated landscape, that's still a kiss of death. The entire quality and scope depends on the in-house development behind closed doors, which is funded by the $500 licenses.

I think, without the multiple efforts to have free Lisp over the past 3+ decades, Lisp would be history.
> UB for signed char

Signed overflow is undefined in C, but this was implemented in ASM. I'm not familiar with the m68k isa, but I'd be very surprised if it doesn't define signed values to wraparound as is natural for a two's complement implementation.
There's evidence the framers of the Constitution intended for citizens to be able to own weapons that gave the federal government pause if the federal government decided to overstep its bounds.

Specifically, even in 1787 it was seeming likely that there was a good chance that at some point the federal government was going to abolish slavery by force, and the framers of the Constitution needed the southern states on board with the Constitution's stronger central government vs. the Articles of Confederation.

So, they probably intended weapons of some proportionate power compared to contemporary military weapons, but the ultimate underlying motivations are suspect.

On the other hand, I could imagine a world where in 1787 alcohol and/or marijuana were legal in some states and illegal in others and the framers were worried about federal troops imposing national drug policy on drugs that never crossed state lines. In that case, it seems more reasonable, which I guess lends respectability to their reasoning at a medium level of abstraction.
Petar Veličković et al has a concept of geometric deep learning, see this forthcoming book: https://geometricdeeplearning.com/

Exactly, and if you synthesize a signal in discrete time you must take care to bandlimit it by calculating what it would be if you'd already brickwall filtered it.

You can't create a naive sawtooth (for example) and *then* filter it because the damage has already been done. That being said, the "supersaw" oscillator in the Roland JP8000 generated a bunch of naive saws and *highpass* filtered them just below their fundamental to remove the gurgly "beat note" from aliased partials.
Caroline Ellison appears to be flying under the radar here. Granted she kept her mouth shut but what's keeping others uninterested here?

Also any informed opinion regarding her plea deal: Generous, not-generous, unusual, routine? ianal but 110 years to 0 years seems pretty sweet. Also didn't note any agreement to forever stay away from other people's money (since she agreed that she "is in fact guilty" [of conspiracy to defraud, wire-fraud, ..]
I don't think anyone has come up with an unambiguous definition of "interpretable". I mean, often people assume that, for example, a statement like "it's a cat because it has fur, whiskers and pointy ears" is interpretable because it's a logical conjunction of conditions. But a logical conjunction of a thousand vague conditions could easily be completely opaque. It's a bit like the way SQL initially advanced, years ago, as "natural language interface" and simple SQL statements are a bit like natural language but large SQL statements tend to be more incomprehensible than even ordinary computer programs.

If you ask ChatGPT to explain its answers, it will generate explanations that a human being can interpret -- even if the explanations are wrong!

The funny thing is that yeah, LLMs often come up with correct method-description for wrong answers and wrong method-descriptions for right answers. Human language is quite slippery and humans do this too. Human beings tend to start loose but tighten things up over time - LLMs are kind of randomly tight and loose. Maybe this can be tuned but I think "lack of actual understanding" will make this difficult.
They tend to be sweeter but my experience is similar - it is identifiably milk and I’m not sure I’d notice in a blind taste test.

Oat milk is another alternative I’d recommend. It isn’t a substitute per se, you are going to notice a difference, but it has similar mouth feel, tastes good, and I’ve used it in all the same places as milk (cereal, cookies, hot chocolate) and been pleased with the result.
Good to hear you are well.

I stopped comparing the Ory stack to Keycloak some time ago. As you know, I like the modularity of Ory better than the single Keycloak deployment. However, what always gets me when deploying authn is that it releases the cat from the bag. Authz and additional sessions almost always come as a requirement right after.

Last Kratos I looked at was 0.6 so fairly aged by now. Have you had a chance to make the Kratos/Hydra/Keto integration a little bit … less abstract? From memory, integrating Kratos and Hydra reqired a ton of glue code one had to write themselves. That’s the reason why I always reach for Keycloak.
Sure, I've added "[updated]" above.

"Free Returns"

I always make sure an Amazon listing had that.[0] I never abuse it, but I just started operating under SOP that trying something out at home was part of the online shopping experience. Don't like it? Return it.

[0] Only once did I have an issue with a return request, and soon as I said "It said free returns on the listing" any resistance disappeared.
no. The driver is responsible to keep speed and distance from previous car such that he/she can stop if necessary.

When you hit someone from behind, it is your fault, because you should have been driving more slowly or further away

And that is also absolutely correct way of evaluating it - the one in the back controls attention, speed and distance. The one in front does not.
If one thread has to hit main memory but the other one can get what it needs from L1 cache they aren't competing for the same resources.

Plant based “milks” are seriously lacking nutritionally compared to dairy. You don’t need a study for that, reading the back of the carton will do. Almond milk, especially, is flavored water. Still, I agree about the inconsistency you point out.
Thank you! Yes, AFAIK There's no way to code the eBPF part in Go, so I used C without loops. Go part handles loading the eBPF and utilizing the maps. Btw, Rust hcan be used as eBPF code language since It was added to the Kernel.
Did they give you a confirmed offer letter and then revoke it, or was it just a failure to give you an offer letter?

In the current rapidly-worsening economy, I probably wouldn't consider it obviously improper (just unfortunate) for a company to not make an offer even when it had previously planned to do so. At some level it would depend on exactly how specific they'd been (and whether it was reasonable to take decisions like giving notice to current employer based on that).
There is a multitude of very effective free CL implementations.
even by mid-80s, if you used the naive serial routines built into the Apple IIe you couldn't do 1200bps- 300bps worked. Professional terminal programs used interrupt and buffers to capture incoming bytes while the screen scrolled (https://sites.google.com/site/drjohnbmatthews/apple2/ssc?pli...). At least that's what the author of ProTERM told me when I was a kid and I asked how it worked. It sounded pretty exotic at the time but now I work with low-level hardware... $5 chip that can do 2Mbps over serial.

One of the many reasons I hate Microsoft with a burning passion is that they got my grandma tech support scammed.

I agree with your pet peeve. ActiveRecord (Rails ORM) encourages by convention that your tables are named in the plural, and it sometimes drives me crazy. When writing queries outside the ORM, I end up aliasing tables/relations to the singular so the query is more sane to reason about, e.g.:

> SELECT person.id, person.name, person.age ... FROM people person JOIN ...

Which reads so much nicer to me than:

> SELECT people.id, people.name, people.age ... FROM people JOIN ...

(obviously a somewhat contrived example because of the people/person inflection that makes it awkward already)
They do, because they operate a service to lure those users in so another set of people pay money to show ads to the first set.
If you want to have 40 different instructors, you need 40 times more students. That doesn't change the fundamental economics.

If you want famous professors, you either have to pay more, or create an enticing environment. You still have the option to pay for recordings of their lectures which should be more affordable.

A well-funded university will be better in several dimensions but quality of education and research is entirely within the influence of whoever starts a new university. Nothing else should matter.

Unfortunately I've had the opposite experience, so I worry my help won't be particularly helpful.

Almost every great mentor I've found was through work. Teammates that I would gravitate towards, usually because I was stumped on something.

Eventually they'd have something for me; then we have this sort of paired-mentoring thing going

A suitable stand-in would be open source projects for things you're interested in. For me, it's been Ansible -- particularly roles (reusable tasks) for it.

Get your hands dirty with something. The important part in finding a good mentor is being teachable

Tell 'them' (rather often a vague audience) what you're trying to do, how you're going about it, and how it's different from what you expect.

Assuming republicans never "take the bus", so what? The point isn't to do the republicans a favor by talking. The point is to personally grow, learn, and improve.

There is no reason to be afraid of leaning unless you prioritize personal bias and hate over understanding.
