> Be safe doesn't necessarily mean less return

Yeah, it does. You can see it in stocks & bonds every day. More risk means more potential upside. Less risk means less upside. Across all the investments.

You pay more for a new car because it comes with less risk. You pay less for a used car because it might be a clunker.
what's the recovery process when a person's smartphone is lost/stolen/broken?
Eh, similar answer, your basic body plan goes back really far in your genetic history and is a really early part of embryonic development. All of your relatives going back to a common ancestor ~500Ma have two eyes. It’s a quick internet answer not an essay, the exact correct common ancestor / taxonomy group is a bit difficult to pin down.

Bilateria is the reason the number is even… some common ancestor after you split with spiders is the “exactly two” reason, which i think is all vertebrates now, or at least close to that level.
Creating a separate gcc plugin for this seems unnecessary if I am not misunderstanding something. Just ensure the invariant function is called at every method, in debug builds maybe. You could of course change the object properties without using a method but then you have bigger problems.
Two eyes are necessary for stereoscopic depth perception, but perception of depth can be had with a single eye adjusting its focal length, using context clues, or moving your head around to acquire depth information from motion parallax.
Because this leads the way to being able to verify that your functions will act as expected in all cases, rather than just for the ones that you thought about when you were writing unit tests.
Do you happen to be a programmer whose code has had similar bugs twice? If so, do you consider yourself "irresponsible at best"?
> SpaceX’s near-infinite fundraising capacity

I have to wonder how sustainable this is. From the perspective of an investor, I would not be excited by Tesla being down 70% off peak and Twitter becoming the most notable corporate clusterfuck of the year. Investing in SpaceX these days seems like a bet that the CEO will be so distracted by his other problems that he won't have time to mess with the people actually running it.

Naval seems to insinuate with "social scientists who [...] are now in there with nonsense political models" that authors like Nate Silver (of 538 fame) are examples of folks relying on NYT mastheads, and yet, Nate rose to prominence as an individual outside of traditional journalism, publishing on his own website (fivethirtyeight.com, which was later acquired by NYT).
While that's true, it sounds much less exciting.

This is a somewhat weird: do you judge Sony headphones by how good Sony cameras are, too? Or Samsung phones on how good their TVs are? Because how good a Casio calculator or rice cooker is, is entirely independent of how good their watches are?

This seems to be backwards: you judge a brand based on how all its products perform, and if the balance tips towards "most are shit" then it's a shit brand. A brand making lots of things and only one shit (type of) thing, then it's "they're great! Except for their X, don't buy those".
A younger me benefited from articles like this.

I would talk to people but felt like there was a barrier. The back and forth would fall dead. Conversations with me didn't flow as well as it did between other people.

At some point I came across advice like this -- specifically being told to ask more questions.

What a godsend.

I realized many of my conversations followed a simple pattern-- I'd be asked a question, I'd answer, maybe a tangent, conversation lulled, I'd feel asking a question would be rude, conversation ended.

I knew something was wrong in my conversations, but someone had to point at a specific thing to improve
Why not have no cap and cause significant damage to the company. Would that be so bad? Would they all flee the country?

Edit: it just occured to me that there are normal people out there just like me only super wealthy and just bribing politicians like it's nothing. It's nuts on a societal level. Imagine being so selfish.
I worked a TON of overtime last quarter and I'm not going to make that same mistake again. If I work over 40 hours a week, that time is going to be devoted to prepping algorithm and system design interview questions so that I can easily find another high paying job if I were to get fired here.

My real job is to be highly employable and sought after at all times, not fulfilling the needs/wants of my current company.
Readership of 20k. Hard to imagine how they stay in business but good on them for doing some real reporting. You'd think they'd do some more outreach to get the story in the public eye when it was fresh and crow about their scoop.
This won’t happen until our political class more accurately represents the class and wealth status of average Americans. Until that time, they will continue to be more responsive to the needs of those most similar to themselves.

I just made the switch this week after reading the news about the most recent hack from LastPass. The UX for 1password was so refreshing after using LastPass for so long. The switching process was very simple. The only issue I had was getting dupes from the shared folders from the family account.
Thank you for taking the time to give such direct feedback. I think I missed you by a few minutes, I just switched the link in my profile to my Github. It's pretty bare atm because I only just started adding my projects on there. My intention is to have it grow with time.

The questionable writing is from the perspective that I don't want to pretend some perfect image. I will consider taking that post down, however.

Not sure where you got 22 years from, I'm 29 and started working at 18! I've worked outside the service industry too (recently at Apple) but yes that's my main experience.

This is my personal view on the topic. I don't claim it strictly matches any "official" definition.

A "hot" wallet is a type of wallet that's typically stored in internal storage of a network-connected device, such as your personal computer or your smartphone. This is riskier way of storing funds because they can be exfiltrated by malware. You would typically use a hot wallet for day to day transactions.

A "cold" wallet is a type of wallet where private keys to control the funds are never in contact with a network-connected device. They're typically stored in the form of recovery phrases written on paper or metal (in a secure location), or some kind of a smart card that securely stores private keys and exposes an interface to sign individual transactions (e.g. Ledger devices). Funds stored in a cold wallet are much harder to access, but are extremely (or completely) resistant to theft, short of physical access.

In crypto a "hot" wallet should be treated as cash, while a "cold" wallet is more like a savings account.

The thing to do then is keep founding competitors and make a profit selling them to the "monopoly".

> When someone has taught you something or changed your mind on something, let them know.

Pro tip-- you can change your mind in a conversation at any time!

I hear stories from so many people who feel like they got stuck agreeing to meet up with someone. Or perhaps they felt obligated to follow some course of action just because they initially misspoke, and now the person would think such-and-such, which would reflect poorly on them, etc., so they just grin and bear it.

At least in the U.S., normies will be totally fine if you change your mind and immediately tell them you don't want to do (or cannot do) such-and-such a thing in casual, polite conversation. The only people who will be weirdos about you showing basic human agency are narcissists. And if you have never experienced telling a narcissist no, I would strongly recommend starting as soon as possible because it's simply divine. :)

Edit: clarification
I was shopping around for a digital piano and the Privia does look really nice. I haven't experienced one in person yet and I am a bit scared to buy any keyboard or digital piano without trying the action.
The economy is like a feral dog. People put too much trust in the people holding the leash. They can hold the dog down but they can't make it walk.

The goal is to motivate it but also to prevent it from running away.
Depends how you define free speech. I believe it means free expression, including the right to not speak.

Neutrality is a matter of opinion, hence the scare quotes. As soon as you compel someone to speak according to your definition of neutrality you violate their right to free expression.

You know as much as I'm generally unhappy with what MS is doing with forcing TPMs on Windows 11, I have to say Bitlocker on Windows is basically single click and a perfect solution, and I'm a bit disappointed in the scale of every comparable Linux guide I just Googled up. I can see why the average company doesn't have it deployed.
I find the unatonable original sin spin placed on white people these days in the USA to be a tad bit repulsive personally.
Obviously I understand my childhood community in far more detail and depth than your rather transparent question. My conclusions of their racism are based on far more than I mention, but yes, it has since then proven to be a very clear smoke signal. Other places I've seen the same thing but not as severely are snow sports and auto racing.

I have no desire to retread the 101 of how "white" cannot be treated as logically equivalent to other racial labels. Go do some reading on the subject. A good place to start is trying to enumerate exactly what heritages count as white, and how that has changed over time.
Good point!!!
I thought "contracts" were dropped out of C++20.[1]

Entry and exit assertions, and invariants, are powerful, especially when coupled with a proof of correctness system. But they're a tough retrofit.

Invariants have some issues. The general idea is that the invariant has to be true when control is outside the object. This was once the core idea of the object concept, although it's been somewhat forgotten. A big issue is, when does control enter and exit the object? What if you call a public member function from inside the object? Did you re-enter? What if you call out of an object to something that calls back in? What about recursion? What if another thread enters? Objects need clarity on the inside/outside issue for invariants to work. This is quite possible but a tough retrofit.

Invariants need syntax for talking about arrays and parts therof. You need quantifiers, or something like them. Lambdas?

From back when I did this sort of thing, decades ago, a simple SAT solver can eliminate the need to check over 90% of assertions at run time. So you want something like that, rather than trying to check everything at run time. Otherwise, nobody will keep the checks turned on.

All this is quite do-able. Most attempts to do it have suffered from academic overreach - the technology is pushed by people in love with formal methods, and the result is too complicated for routine use.

I see a lot of advertising for SimplySafe on YouTube, and I always wonder about the privacy issues that are basically required in a product that monitors your property and requires a monthly subscription to work (so it has to phone home, right?). I think there could be a real market for selling open-source, open-hardware security systems that go through transparent security reviews, since people who care about their security might also care about their digital security. This looks great!
In the last fiscal quarter pre-pandemic, they had operating income of $3 billion on revenue of $22 billion, or 13%. This is not a low-margin business.

If they have operating income of eight to ten billion a year, spending a third of a billion to upgrade systems seems like it would have been a reasonable investment instead of buying back shares and increasing the dividend.
Yeah … RSS will likely play a huge role and for mass adoption or a large number of eyes it’ll need to be a centralized thing but then you get all the problems of centralization including the ability to say what can and can’t be part of the new discoverability index.
This reply seems to be assuming (like Musk seems to have done when he came in with the kitchen sink) that the only jobs of relevance there are engineers and product folks building new features yet the loss of their important revenue streams that are causing an existential crisis for the company seem to be primarily about losing people with "softer" jobs like compliance and advertiser relations.

I'm sure there was some fat that could have been cut away from Twitter pre-Musk but its pretty clear the attempt to do it was made with a chainsaw and not a scalpel.
I have a writing blog of sorts [1], but nobody knows it exists. Nobody sees my posts except when I share the links to directly via other social media.

Most of my posts can’t be found on google at all, even doing searches by name of the article (a few will turn up).

It’s nice to have a blog but it’s really more of a diary unless you have readers. At least with substack, I get a handful here or there from the substack ecosystem, vs my custom website which got almost nothing at all and is now inactive because of that

Interesting question: what other industries share some of these characteristics (but not all)?

I think some people in tech assume that a lot of advantages we have are present everywhere, but they're not, entirely. A lot of industries share some of this innate conservatism, but in different degrees.

The first one that occurs to me is medical. Elizabeth Holmes' big problem (besides being dishonest, of course) was that she thought she could apply the Steve Jobs paradigm to medical testing. She would say "first they fight you, then you change the world" as if that would work everywhere. It doesn't. Your risks are enormously higher in medical, and there are government regulations everywhere you look.

But there are probably other industries like that, too. Autos, maybe.

Thank you, a very insightful comment. I've recently started adding to my Github, I will keep it up and be honest about my level of skill. I find it hard to know where my level is though, as I don't have much to compare it to other than seeing Stack Overflow answers and the stuff I find on Github.
You misread the report; it estimates the cost of surgery at $50 to $100, and estimates the "cost per blindness or severe visual impairment reversed" at $112 to $1,250 (with low confidence). That second number is calculated along these lines:

"[W]e suppose that a program costs $5 per person screened, that 20% of those screened receive cataract surgery at a cost of $15 for transportation and $25 for the direct cost of surgery, that 10% of those who receive surgery are blind or severely visually impaired, and that surgery is 100% effective. This program spends $650 per blindness or severe visual impairment reversed. We are highly uncertain about how close these estimated values are to the true costs and uptake of programs."

Depends on how you define "good". Espeak-ng, for example, works just fine as such. But the quality of the freely available voices is nothing close to the Siri / Google Assistant / Alexa / whatever standard. Understandable? Yes. Usable? Yes. But "good"? Mmmmm... YMMV.

A lot of people don't want to receive a sermon and, likewise, wouldn't want to give one either.

Every time I visit LinkedIn I roll my eyes at some of the things people publicly post. There is a certain self-seriousness bordering on pretentiousness with a LinkedIn post versus a half-serious Tweet. Twitter is more like chat. The blogs I tend to read are more informative than opinionated. E.g. "How to get this USB device working on Linux" versus "X Considered Harmful, Here Is My Hot Take Which Is Targeted For Maximum Virality".

I've stopped reading most of HN opinion blogs because they are all terrible. This is not to say you can't have an opinion and express it in a nuanced, intelligent manner. But the viral algorithms and promoters aren't looking for those, and the skill to write such content is rare.
This doesn't suit me very well, but thank you for the suggestion.

That’s more a function of over production due to subsidies than inherent resilience.

Annual crop production still varies wildly, we just have much larger buffers and better distribution than our ancestors before starvation kicks in so a 12% drop isn’t noticeable for the average consumer. https://www.indexmundi.com/agriculture/?country=us&commodity...

You should look up a concept called "Gestalt Learning". I liken it to the "Eureka" effect that Thomas Edison talked about.

For any professional educators or other folks more familiar with this I am about to butcher this concept I am sure but my layman's understanding is the following. Basically rather than a bottom up approach to learning it's a top down approach where you see the whole picture first rather than each piece and then dance around it until you just "get it". Think of imagining a house and then learning about it until the entire house system makes sense. You might imagine the house, then learn a large "chunk" which is the foundation, then another chunk which is the plumbing, etc. etc. A more typical learning method might be you learn what a brick is and then you learn how they're put together, then you understand a wall, etc. etc. This style of learning is more common in folks on the ASD spectrum but isn't exclusive to ASD folks. I find for me I'll encounter a concept, then think on it periodically over some period of time until one day I just sort of "get it". It's not better or worse than other ways of learning but it just means you need to approach things differently to learn more efficiently.
So the concern is overfitting to a single target? Hmm, then perhaps: here are several/parameterized cache models to develop on; one/several will be used to judge the competition?

> Cache-oblivious code is a lot more successful [...] Hardwiring code to rely on a rigidly predefined amount of cache is the worst

Yes, but ... Creating cache-oblivious code requires devs non-oblivious to cache. Perhaps a kata/competition might encourage such.
