I don't care. I'll take what I want, when and how I want it. The only decision these companies get is whether I will pay them, or pay a competitor with a superior experience. Netflix was why I stopped pirating movies way back when, and Netflix is why I started pirating again. The same goes for Amazon Prime music; I stopped paying in good faith the moment they started cutting vast swathes of my library out from under me.

I would kill for some sort of integration between Remarkable and Obsidian. Both are excellent tools and the Remarkable is great for sketching on the go. I just wish I could keep both in sync somehow.
Thanks, much appreciated.

That sounds like a insanely hard approach. I don't really have anything to show, only really got my HackerOne profile to show. Most projects I do is related to it, which I don't really publish or just not allowed to publish.

No one ever asked me if I liked being called 'Latinx'. I don't like the sound of it, and I feel I'd be seen as 'difficult' if I were to tell people in my company I don't like it.

How is 'Latin' offensive?

There is a loud minority within the Latin group who wants the term so they can feel powerful, and of course, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

In the end, all society is accomplishing is rewarding outrage.
Yeah I was developing in the thought works crowd in the SF 90s, and agile was a wonderful insight into how to best create high velocity and high quality, with high morale, software. I went into quant trading for a long time which by its nature is agile so missed out on the process adaptation of agile. The problem came when folks added story points and burn down charts - this invited the process people in the door to make things more predictable, which invited the management in to consume that desired predictability. My belief is software, for whatever reason, suffers from an uncertainty paradox. The act of measuring development impedes and slows development.

If you want to move mountains, start by picking up small stones. Start small, then build momentum. Suffer the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. Most self-help is about the Big Win, so start small. Baby steps. Then make discipline as natural as breathing.

GitHub has a global stream API for all public events,[1] but it is delayed by five minutes, precisely so that sensitive actions like revoking leaked tokens can be performed before the world sees them. That’s what the secret scanning program is about, and you would have known if you spent 1/3 of the time of your rant learning about it.

Edit: Additionally, for private repos, secret scanning is opt-in and only alerts owners.

Irving saved Commodore several times, but he had no idea about computers and never used one. This also led to issues of understanding with CEO's, like Jack Tramiel. He left Commodore and went to Atari... and in a revenge move, worked on the Atari ST. While Jack didn't have deep knowledge on computers itself, he knew what businesses wanted and had an acumen for driving it, and especially on the idea of cost. This you can clearly see in how the ST got positioned; it was more of a business machine. The Amiga was more of a funtainment machine that was good at everything. This made it challenging to target a certain audience. It was great at video, music, and even did games, with a floppy drive, and a full-size keyboard, etc. MArketing had a difficult time to properly advertise it. Several CEOs followed, and Thomas Rattigan made the company profitable again, but drama followed very soon ... and only got worse with Ali; https://www.commodore.ca/commodore-history/mehdi-ali-the-end...
It really didn't otherwise there would be a lot more than just those two, everyone would follow their beat. We all ran rails 10 years ago and realized that unless you're a large corp with money to burn on 'ecosystem' then Rails doesn't make a lot of sense.

I want to like rails and to see it do well, but it's not keeping pace with the rest of its peers. As competitive as web dev is these days, it's not sufficient to just be rails, you need a ruby alternative to rails as well. Look at javascript. Nobody uses javascript straight up, there's a multitude of rails-like frameworks for javascript. A new one is made each day, and they have staying power.

Ruby has Rails, and some might argue that metaphorically speaking Rails has Ruby, by its polite little balls. Unfortunately Rails's star power is outliving Ruby's and given that new Ruby devs aren't being born every day, it's not hard to see that that's bad for Rails.

I'd love to see rails move to JS or Elixir or something that'll get people interested in it again, and KEEP them this time by being written in something fast.
The category is not an arbitrary one, primarily because they are higher than other weather phenomena, being in the mesosphere. In fact, there is a hypothesis that they did not occur (or perhaps only occasionally even by the standard of their current rarity, such as after large volcanic explosions) until the industrial revolution.
As others have mentioned, this is "just" constraint propagation. I think much of the success is that it's a simple idea to grasp and implement, that provides very good results, and has a compelling name. I don't want to be dismissive, I think it's very cool.

The original author of "wave function collapse" also has "convchain" [0] which is similarly "just" using Monte Carlo Markov Chains to sample the space. It's also a kind of "staple" algorithm for physicists, theoretical computer scientists, etc but I guess hasn't caught on as much as WFC.

Note that WFC has major problems when the tile set is too constrained. There's a SO question about it [1] and I also happen to have written a small article about it as well [2]().

Welcome! I definitively feel your struggle because I was there a few years ago. When I started this journey a few years ago it just seemed daunting and impossible but I remember telling myself: "people do this and I am 'people' so I do meet the minimum requirements!"

I agree with other comments here that it seems like you might be stuck in a tutorial loop. Do start building something, a small project for yourself. I've had the privilege of mentoring a few people and it is almost always when building something, not when "learning" that the actual learning and insights and aha moments happen.

Getting a mentor or coding in a community can be invaluable. We all learn differently and build mental models to understand stuff. (I'm down for helping in any way :-) email on profile)

But if you really want this don't give up!

Another thing that sometimes can get starters stuck is a false idea that engineers have some sort of privileged mind (some would like to think so) but in reality we are all people from all places and genders and backgrounds and think about things in wildly different ways! So don't try to become some idealized and maybe non-existent ideal engineer, but just grow yourself with this new skills and do what works for you!

You mentioned that you have done some R and Python, and your comment about math seems to suggest that the use of those might have been in data science-y fashion?

It could also help to decide _what_ type of software engineering you'd like to do. This could help you clear up a bit of confusion because there's A LOT in software engineering...

Anyways, best of luck!
“botnets” are boogeymen, it’s a story that doesn’t stand up to any meaningful interrogation.

Elon Musk has simultaneously argued that Twitter is the most popular it has ever been, that there are hundreds of millions of real people using each day… while also supposing that 17 million votes in 12 hours couldn’t possibly come from real people and there must be “botnets” responsible.

Why couldn’t 10% of the people using a platform want to vote in a poll about the future of the platform?

I've done a lot of mountain biking, and for years I rode bike trials¹.

I think on a bike it's fine to push your limits, because the consequences are less severe than for hang gliding, especially if you aren't doing big drops.

Trials riding is technical, but it isn't fast, so one unexpected thing is that you get better at crashing. Kind of like in Judo, where there is a correct way to fall, falling often enough at slow to moderate speeds teaches you how to fall better.

Now I mostly ride cross country, but every once in a while, when I get into a sketchy situation, I fall like a cat, whether it be over the bars, off the back, hopping off the side, I have a deep well of experience from previous crashes to draw upon.

I'd say in mountain biking the enemy isn't falling or crashing, it's falling or crashing at speed. I _know_ it's fun to go fast, but if you switch your mindset from: "I'm going to get through this section faster than you" to "I'm going to get through this section _better/cleaner_ than you." you can keep the fun alive while keeping the consequences down.

So what is 'better,' it could be without putting a foot down, without shifting down to the granny gear, without skidding etc...

This is why I think mountain biking is way more fun than road riding. I don't have to have elite level fitness, or massive quads to be 'good' at mountain biking. Take a roadie out on a mtn bike ride for the first time and they will probably blow all the steep climbs at first, cos they don't have experience in modulating traction through the back wheel. Eventually they would learn to project though the bike and feel where the back wheel is touching the ground at all times, which takes your riding to the next level.

Right, witness “retarded”, which just means “delayed”. It was applied as a nice polite term for people whose development was slower than average, with the implication that they’d get there in the end.

Yeah, I'd just rather have medicine make my finite life less painful thanks without the need for opioids (not saying being a bit stone is bad, just that too much will make life not worth living). Like being able to still walk around without a cane and clean and dress myself by the end would be nice. Not asking for olympic athlete level capability, just decent mobility with not much pain or senility.
The interesting thing to me with this instance of the euphemism treadmill is that people seem to have either amnesia or zero cognitive dissonance about words that were once deemed insensitive and mean the same damn thing. 'Retard' replaced 'moron', for instance, because moron was deemed insensitive in the medical world. Before that there was the gamut everyone knows of: idiot, stupid, etc. These words are only effective as insults because of their meaning, but proponents of suppression pretend the words live in a no-man's land of having no meaning, existing only as being derogatory.

The only thing more insane would be the expectation that insults of any kind, for any reason, no longer be tolerated (some do suggest this, which is at least consistent).
One thing that's really missing for me from Obsidian is a view similar to that of Google Keep. Like sometimes I want to drop a small note "my stuff is in locker 2130" or "Look into Open Library <> WikiData linking percentage" and then easily be able to see it again in a few of all notes most recent.

A thread on Reddit give me a small hope this update may do that but I don't think so.

PS: I'm aware of the daily notes viewer, and that's what I currently use for most of these situations. But it doesn't help with having a simple way to see contents of all recently created notes.

Edit: this is something I mostly want for mobile

The lived experience of the vast majority of US citizens is an illegitimate viewpoint? Whose viewpoints deserve a seat at the table?
You feeling uncomfortable, or even offended, isn't even remotely what most people consider "harm", and frankly it's a little bit offensive that the equivalence has been made.
We do have to take it seriously. We, collectively, all people who find this paper to be shocking and foolish, need to loudly declare it as such and ridicule the notion.

If this kind of thinking is tolerated without pushback, it will become the default. Advocates of this thinking are dedicated radicals who care more about implementing it than most people like you (not meaning offense) who would just chuckle and do nothing, thinking it is silly.

edit to add: The thing that absolutists don't appreciate, whether they are far-woke speech warriors like this submission, or far-right conservatives worried about any shift in the status-quo, is that *there is a line, somewhere in the middle, for all things*. We need to be thoughtful about some speech, but this list is the logical extreme of it. We need to understand systemic racism exists in the US, but we don't need to make every single aspect of society revolve around race. We need to support the poor and the uneducated and the unemployed more than we do today, but we don't need to give them blank checks or have completely open borders.

In American discussion today, there seems to be little room for nuance like this, for "practical lines" like this, because each side either wants or is afraid of an idea being taken to its logical extreme.

It is up to people who agree with this to understand that there is a line, and as such, one needs to *hold that line*. Radicals will try to push it too far, and we need to stop them vocally. "c"onservatives will try never to move the line, and we need to make them budge.

It is not feasible to "just ignore" any large organization looking to move the line too far. It has to be actively challenged.

I love TypeScript, but Rails has a wonderful ecosystem of libraries that just feels unbeatable for the backend. For some reason (hot take incoming) the JS community seems to hate working with each other and improving existing libraries. The Ruby community seems to rally around improving our libraries (gems) rather than reinventing them every year.
Estimation is doable statistically. You can estimate 100 small things with reasonable accuracy, if you work in familiar terrain. That's why scrum an similar tend to work reasonably well for seeing if you are going to hit some iteration deadline etc.

BUT you can't estimate a huge software project up front, because you can't break it into 100 small things up front and it's not usually not familiar terrain before it started. You might be forced to give an estimate up front in order to get a deal, but it's all business theater.

I am confused by your comment. He is demonstrating that the alternative words can be used offensively if that is one’s desire. Why is that a “you” issue?
Exactly right.

And what irks me, is that I feel that we've seen this before (or at least read about it): even if it's not the same, it rhymes with what's been happening around the world for most of the 20th century. The methods of psychologically forcing people to eschew logic and rational thought, and submit to a half-baked ideology instead, are pretty much the same - even if it's not state-sponsored and nobody is pulling guns just yet.

I don't think people pushing this insanity (err, wild thing) realize how close they are in methods to the historical groups and present-day boogeypeople they claim to oppose.

They fixed that particular crash by version 1.04, which shipped with machines sold after the first couple of months on the market. And version 2.0, a for-money upgrade, was much faster at saving overall. (I never bought it, by that point I'd switched to Protext on CP/M and was trying to wrap my head around HiSoft C.)

Others have called out some the silliness on this list, but honestly my biggest problem with it is that it's just so lazy, and often times flat out incorrect in its assumptions.

- "Consider using 'devoted' instead of 'addicted.'" I'm sorry but you don't develop a physical devotion to heroin. It's an addiction.

- They say the phrase "committed suicide" is problematic because it "trivializes the experiences of people living with mental health conditions" and I'm not sure how in the world you can come to that conclusion unless you're using a completely different (and wrong) definition of "committed" as in being committed to a mental hospital.

- Every word that contains "man" or "woman" as part of it just lazily replaces it with "person." I'm sorry, but "congressperson" is never going to be a word and nobody is ever going to use it in any serious context. "Member of Congress" has been around for a couple hundred years but mention of that completely acceptable alternative.

- Nobody has ever said "landlady"

- "Latinx" is used almost exclusively by the type of person who comes up with this list in the first place.

This list reads like ChatGPT trained exclusively on social justice parody.
The semiconductor business is not easy.

The M-series chip makes sense because you can share it between mobile and desktop machines. The A-series and the M-series are very closely related. Once you start to enter the high-end server market you have to add more IP, change the processor interconnect, topology, and increase the transistor count on the IP you already developed. This leads to the necessity to design another line of processors which needs additional design, verification, validation, software development, etc that you won't be able to share with your profitable chips. You then need to ask, is there really a market for this?

When Apple used 3rd party CPUs they outsourced the cost of that server development work, the 3rd party Intel already had a large market for their Xeon class chips so development costs were spread across customers. The business made sense. Let's face it, the Pro side of the business is tiny relative to the mobile market and it does not make business sense.

Didnt look too much into it but my gut feeling based on the price says its too cheap to be able to keep the lights on for centuries.

I would rather do a one time payment because they sure wont get money from me when i am dead. So a one time payment must basically be big enough to generate enough interest/stock market returns to make it worth their while too keep the lights on forever.
