It's never about guessing a correct answer.

Eg. if I guess NYC population is 10M, with every 100th household having a piano, I can guess there are 100k pianos in NYC. If each of them needs tuning once every two years, that's 50k tunes each year. That's roughly 1k tunes each week, which, if a tuner can do 2 a day (5 work days per week), is 100 tuners.

And then it'd be worth comparing to tuning of venue pianos which are tuned more frequently: let's say 10k venues with pianos requiring tuning every month, or 2k tunes a week. So another 200 tuners.

You can also talk about pattern of work instead of market demands (eg most tuners only get 1 tune a week, so we can multiply the number of tuners by 10), just to show off you are ignoring other variables knowingly.

Obviously, each of the guesses has a large error margin, and errors multiply, so you can be off by way more than a single order of magnitude.

But just coming up with things to include in your calculation, and not being scared of exploring such random situations with little data you know, signals some generic problem solving ability.

Eg for a better answer, I now know I need exact number of people and venues in NYC, I need to ask tuners how often are pianos tuned, get some data on how frequent are pianos in homes, how long does a tune take, etc.

While I think I am decent at these questions, and I do believe they signal a very generic problem solving ability, I agree they are terrible interview questions for most software engineering roles, since you rarely hire for such generic ability, and might even get more out of a more specific question/test..
Appeal to authority is not an argumentative fallacy. Appealing to a false authority is. For instance, appealing to the authority of a Ph.D. in quantum physics is perfectly fine to do when the topic is quantum physics. Appealing to that same authority about the law is not.

It appears your understanding of what “trolling” is mirrors your understanding of argumentative fallacies.

I don't pirate games anymore but I still routinely pirate TV content because dealing with this nonsense is just not worth the time and effort. I'm willing to buy media. I'm not willing to be told when and where I can watch it. I buy my movies and TV on physical media, then pirate a copy to actually watch on my various devices. Far more convenient for me than bending over backwards for DRM schemes.

My Steam games, meanwhile, largely all work on Windows and Linux with no silly barriers stopping me. Just one reasonable one: login to Steam once in a while.

It's made game piracy the hassle by comparison, which is the opposite direction than that taken by current media streaming. Gabe was right when he said piracy is caused by service issues.

Personally - As a father, I think you could get a hell of a lot closer with the following

1. Free childcare (we've already gone a long way here with the public school system, which at the end of the day mainly boils down to childcare in many parts of the US)

2. Family stipends during FMLA leave for childbirth.

Number 2 in particular is required because social norms are still absolutely geared towards expecting new fathers to take considerably less time off to ensure a paycheck is coming in.

This sets a rhythm that is hard to adjust later - the father does not spend as much bonding time with young children. Housework falls to the mother because she is no longer working. Once the mother is recovered the patterns are already established, and the conversation about cost of childcare vs the mother's salary begins on a biased foot.

I'd actually much prefer being a full time stay at home dad, but holy fucking hell is the stigma running strong there across our society at large.

My (least) favorite instance of this is in the response to the Log4j vulnerability. Evidently some companies tasked people with ensuring that ""all of their suppliers"" had patched the issue and were in compliance. This lead to random open source projects, many of which could not possibly be vulnerable, being inundated with form letters demanding that the project meet ABC Corp's new security requirements. Most maintainers told them to kick dirt, but it was truly bizarre seeing people think they were in any position to make demands over a project that they aren't paying for.

Users often wish to be able to delete or make something that was once public private.

People also wish to be be able to do a lot of other things, but that doesn't make it right.

What becomes public history must remain immutable. Otherwise you're just going to encourage a state in which those who have the power to will destroy and rewrite the past to their advantage, to control the narrative over the population. The trendy phrase "right to forget" is effectively a "right to rewrite history".

It's interesting that you automatically call those wanting to preserve what could possibly be very important history "malicious scrapers".
This is a bit harsh. It’s still early in the language’s development, and the quality of the compiler/generated code shouldn’t be conflated with the principles of the language itself.

Question: Let's say we added a single particle X (or, well, multiple) to our otherwise quantum world whose position and momentum we could pin down with arbitrary accuracy. What would happen if we used that particle to measure another particle Y? Normally Y has some fundamental uncertainty around its position and momentum, but would having access to X let us bypass that limit? If not, what would happen to the total uncertainty in the system after the measurement?

(If that would allow us to break the limit, then it would seem like this really is a measurement limitation in some sense, so I'm assuming the answer is that that's not the case, but then I'm wondering what would happen afterward.)
I’d also say people are more cutthroat and there’s more politics as you go through promotions as well.
> However, the effect definitively widens at child birth, with women shouldering an unequal amount of caregiving responsibilities [1]. Whether married or unmarried, women with children take a hit.

This is a a loaded phrasing, though. You could just as well say that men shoulder an unequal amount of wage earning responsibilities. Men with children take a hit in the amount of time and energy they are expected to spend making money.

Gender roles and social expectations are what's driving this, but the common framing is all too often men using their agency to force women into theirs, without allowing for the possibility that women are using their agency to do the same.
But does chromium phone home with this data? Surely not, I would've thought?
Things are getting way too high-level here. Nobody will be able to answer your question because it depends on an overwhelming amount of details.

Your compiler capabilities will have a much larger influence on your code performance than the lower level properties of your GPU. As always, it's a matter of profiling and discovering what is actually happening. Most times when people use polymorphism, it's free.

Was. AST directly exposed (and can be manipulated during runtime) in python.

So 'nada' ({ NIL, NUL, (), "", '' }) still 'lisp' exclusive/inclusive language feature.

Python comes close, but NIL, NUL, (), "", '' are different implied types in python.

Although, for non-lispers, python does get around () everything without having editor add in () before sending off to lisp REPL process.

> Ut happened because of cheap and plenty of VC money.

Ok, so why didn't other countries have "cheap and plenty of VC money" at the same time? Why not the UK, or Germany, or Japan?

Of all the rich countries that existed in the world at the time, why did only the US develop a Silicon Valley type of situation?

It was never about money -- plenty of other countries had rich investors. It was about willingness to take risk. US venture capital was unique in the world at that time, and it was because of their culture.
> Those are all expensive because of government constraints

There are even more government constraints in Europe, China, Japan. The real estate sector, healthcare, education etc are not out of hand in those places like they are in the US.

> the profit-seeking free market is unable to drive prices down

The profit-seeking free market is unable to drive prices down because driving prices down is anathema to profit-seeking.

> See this famous chart for the receipts -- which things government interferes with

A blog post from Randians in contrast to actually existing reality does not an argument make.

Let me reiterate:

There are more government constraints everywhere else around the world. Nowhere else those critical sectors are out of hand.

Server hosts want protection from DDoS. They hire a bouncer (I e. Cloudflare) to keep the hordes at bay. The bouncer asks for some way to distinguish your suspicious looking request from that of the start of a DDoS attack.

Some remarks:

> > Memory overcommit on Linux can be turned off.

No, it can't in reality.

Nothing works in Linux when you turn of the overcommit as more or less every Linux lib and program relies on this behavior.

> However, as I mentioned. Memory allocation failures are rare and when they happen you need to fix a bug anyway. So crashing on a rare condition instead of running untested error recovery code is probably preferable in general.

That does not apply to safety critical code.

"Just crashing" a system in (for example) a nuclear power plant is not an option!

Or imagine, the controller of your car breaks crashes at some critical point in time and you can't break until the system rebooted.

Of course all code paths need to be tested. That's an obvious fact.
> Very few programs have "hot loops" as small, contained things. "hot loops" is at this point as much of a bad trope as "but premature optimizations!" is.

If you say so. I can pretty easily and meaningfully divide my current program into "happens once per frame or less" and "happens hundreds or more times in a row".

> Why spend months re-writing code you could have just written correctly the first time if a single person had spent an hour messing around with benchmarks to figure out the proper guidance?

If they could have figured it out that easily I understand even less how this example works.

Let me put it this way: If a benchmark can change huge swaths of significantly performance important code, then it's "hot enough to bother" by orders of magnitude. I thought we were talking about microbenchmarks for individual cuts!
Ah yes, so they’re unsolvable, rather than merely difficult.
> That difference suggests that whatever Japan did in 2020-2021, it helped them to avoid infections during that time.

Yes, what epidemiologists know should have no place in a discussion like this, neither should the facts about the effect size of fitness level and obesity being greater than that of vaccines, for instance, that kind of thing would be far too inconvenient. We should replace it with speculation that doesn’t actually fit reality.

Erlang uses this epoch
A useful (very rough) rule of thumb here is that every 5th instruction is a branch this limits all sorts of things - like branch cost and prediction algorithms and sizes, but also how many instructions it's worth decoding per clock which puts practical limits on system issue rates (a predicted taken branch typically reduces the issue rate)

I took more paternity leave than my wife took maternity.

I got SO much fucking flak for it from family/friends/co-workers. Especially the older crowd (45+).

The deal on paper is often not the deal you're expected to take. Opting out of a career in favor of childcare is considered a privilege reserved for woman in many circles.

I'd happily be a full time stay at home dad - but I make 3x what my wife does because I went into software and she works for a non-profit. So currently we balance both full time jobs and pay for daycare. But that starts to make less sense if we have kiddo number 2 or 3 - because then daycare costs begin to eclipse her salary.

The problem is that 5 to 8 years from now - all the kids can attend public school, and we'll likely both want to work full time at that point regardless of what we do now, but the person taking the gap will likely end up making less (they will be 5 to 8 years less senior & experienced).

No, let's be fair to the author. It's a PlayStation in the sense it's named a Sony Playstation 4. Colloquially in the US (where the author is from), every generation is referred to as a PlayStation and has been since the PS2 days.

Nintendo's naming scheme greatly differs from the way Sony does it, and I don't think it's it's good faith to the author to act like they're being dense or stupid.
> One of the reasons the cost of healthcare is high exactly because of shitty regulations,

The sole reason why healthcare is out of hand is because it is in the hands of the private sector and the people have no option but to subject themselves to it. This happens whenever a critical social infrastructure is privatized. And that sector will not stop maximizing its profit with deregulation. Its anathema to profit-making.

> Said doctors, nurses etc. should be able to open a private practice easily

There isn't any profitable sector in which individual professionals or small outfits can compete with massive conglomerates. Less, in healthcare. The amount of healthcare services and technology that a private individual can muster are incomparable to what is needed today in modern medicine. Legions of general practicioners will not fix anything - preventing profit maximization from something related to survival is.

Private healthcare is just slightly less brutal than privatization of air: If it was possible to privatize air, there would be no escape from its consequences. With private healthcare, you can escape the ransacking profiteering for some time as long as you are healthy.
Well then you are agreeing to live with some very detestable general principles just for the short lived victory of seeing your moral convictions enforced in this specific case.

Who cares what her past employment is or if you approve of it. Are we all just supposed to acquiesce to McCarthy style blacklists just so long as they target the "right people" like sex workers rather than the wrong people like "Communists"? Are you really happy to live in a world where the concept of a "no fly list" has been extended by private entities into a "no room and board", "no attend show", "no serve food" list that you could be put on for any reason without being told and with no due process to get off it?

Later in the thread you justify yourself as "deep into Catholicism". What makes you so sure that tomorrow you won't be stranded somewhere unable to buy gas because the service station camera recognized your face in a database of religious extremists?

No one should have to worry about being discriminated against on the grounds of wholly irrelevant personal business. Your personal feelings on the morality of others isn't grounds to revoke their rights.

I'm not sure whats more incredible, that the US once again votes against any resolution seeking accountability for Israel's brutal occupation of the Palestinian territories or the Western media's mute response to it, especially in light of the current conflict in Europe. What reasonable justification could there possible be to vote against the ICJ to produce an opinion? Yet the US is currently seeking to take Russia to the ICJ for its actions in Ukraine.

The US & Western governments have absolutely zero moral standing at all to criticise Russia's illegal annexations of Ukrainian territories when they themselves turn a blind eye to their allies annexation of another neighbours territory (Golan Heights, Syria). Despite there being an existing UN resolution (497) rejecting the annexation, the US under Trump has formally recognised Golan Heights as US territory in 2017! [1].

Big thing I miss working on VS code and IntelliJ interchangeably. Local history of your changes. Huge differentiator while working on a lot of changes.
There has been multiple articles written in many major newspapers about the issue.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/31/opinion/southwest-airline...

From what I have read so far, it seems like SWA uses a homegrown scheduling system for their plane, employees, and flights. The suggestion is that it is about a generation older than other American airlines. Their competitors uses a third-party software system. When this is combined with SWA's point-to-point business model, a large, disruptive event -- like a big snow storm in the Eastern Seabord -- it ripples through their entire system.

They have already admitted that the software system has failed and they have resorted to manually re-scheduling flights. Employees trying to update the company on where they are being put on hold for 9-10 hours (1 employee has a screenshot of waiting for 17 hours.)

This is not a helpful comment to the OP's question.
Thanks for your analysis. To clarify my earlier remark: there must be something _personal_ that is at play here. While political, social, cultural dissonances are all often very visible and clearly externalized, personal grievances and deep confusion can be left unseen.

(Again, to be sure - not talking about your dad specifically since I am just a stranger on the Internet.)

I am hinting at depression of a kind a person experiences late in their life when all hope for change and personal growth starts to fade away. But I also don't want to limit the discussion to this observation only, there are other emotional and intellectual hardships involved: resentment, unhappiness, feeling of injustice, etc.
