Personally I'd love to see a forked flavor of TypeScript with static compilation and multithreading (which implies a lot more immutability, etc). Maybe I should give Swift a try…
One time, I was picking up rare takeout at Mary Chung, and I somewhat excitedly asked the older woman at the register, "Are you Mary Chung?" She smiled and said, "Yes, we are." :)
I'm not saying one is better than the other, nor am I commenting on it's value for [electricity consumer].

They are opposites on "centralisation" vs "decentralisation". With solar, I, a private citizen, can generate electricity, store it, sell it, expand it, mine bitcoin with it, and so fort. With Nuclear, I'm completely at the whims of a government and a semi-private monopolist. "Free-market-nuts" should therefore hate Nuclear and love solar. Yet the opposite is true. And I find that remarkable.
Quick start config via the mobile app also removes barrier of having to use winbox/go deep into routeros. It's come a long way on mobile!
> first you write your code, generate a plan, inspect it carefully and only then apply

Be aware that this experience differs wildly by terraform provider. I can very easily demonstrate that `terraform plan` for AWS consults absolutely zero of the AWS infrastructure, relying solely upon terraform.tfstate. So, great if everyone in the entire organization is entirely disciplined, but in a less disciplined environment terraform's aws provider does nothing to help warn the user of the demonstrably false plan. I don't know what the situation is with the other cloud providers in order to know if that's just "the terraform way" or what

You're peeved, call it "misuse", and yet in the next sentence describe your ignorance. Curtis Yarvin (Moldbug) is an actual monarchist who has the ear of the #1 right wing news host, Tucker Carlson [0], Peter Thiel, and many others on the right. Marjorie Taylor Green is an actual self-described Christian Nationalist (theocracy like Iran).

Abuse was cross platform, later open source.

The engine was nice engineering and probably one of the first true games with scriptability. However the game itself failed to deliver as a game was meh - not exciting.

The same studio later tried their fangs in RTS, but never finished the project - I assume out of funding.
I worked for Microsoft for many years across azure and office and had (only) 4 managers. Not a single one of them ever cared about vacation time. As long as work was done well and on time my managers never cared about folks reporting vacation time. So from my limited experience, I already had unlimited vacation at Microsoft.
The impossibility of interstellar travel is perhaps the only fact that I find so depressing that I simply refuse to believe it. The universe is just so much more interesting if FTL is possible. It helps that being wrong about this fact doesn't really impact one's life either way.
For most stuff sure. But as soon as you hit an edge case you're kind of on your own. I've been hit by some fairly tough bugs / issues which had ready solutions available a quick search away. When things go wrong is where I think you'll see the most difference in pre and post Google problem solving efficiency.
They had 80 people to begin with. After 75% layoff, they have 20 people left.
Beyond the expense and time, mistakes can also be very dangerous. I take a lot of pride in designing industrial machines that are not only effective at their task, but safe to build and operate. The products that I've had a hand in are touched by a lot of people, and it's my responsibility to make sure that the energies being transformed by the machine are not unleashed in ways that are harmful to people. Laziness or lack of care on my part will get people hurt.
Yes, this efficiency-aspect is not captured in the illustration -- while splitting perfectly _by index_ comes for free, splitting perfectly _by value_ needs nontrivial work (median-finding).
"Doesn't yet have a satisfactory explanation -> Must be aliens" has a long history, long enough that the rest of us are entitled to draw the inductive conclusion that it's a weak argument very unlikely to be true.

It is inductive, not deductive, so this bothers people laboring under the misapprehension that science deals with deductive reasoning. But science is ultimately inductive; we happen to sometimes get to deduce things within its framework but it all lives in an inductive framework.

This is a pretty shrewd comment. It won't matter if an AI is more capable than a human, if it costs more to run that task than it would to hire a human. There are still people working in mines in poor countries because they're cheaper than the machines used in rich countries.

Interestingly enough the Navy has a patent to make UFOs that look real on radar and other sensors. [1] This seems like a good explanation as to why the Navy disproportionately has these sightings.

It is possible the people who have made statements don't know about this technology or didn't know it was being used. It would also explain why the higher ups don't seem to really care to find answers.

Maybe. I've used ChatGPT for "therapy" a few times and I partly agree with you. A couple of times I had a terrible day and found myself even more frustrated after trying to vent to the AI because all it did was offer ideas and lists and elementary explanations of things I already knew.

Other times, it helped me to explore relationships in my life. In that way it worked a little bit like free-writing, but an interactive / guided exercise. It turns out that a little objectivity and reflection was all I needed.

Is it a substitute for a human? No. Then again, are you volunteering to listen to me complain? I don't want to abuse my limited friendships and I'm not going to pay someone.

My frustration was with the limitations of the AI, not the fact that it was a bot. If it remembered my past conversations, built a profile of my personality and preferences, and wasn't such a stick in the mud regarding policy then I suspect the companionship would be socially rewarding, at least to me.
A vague statement from the FAA isn't evidence either, just like a statement from the CDC not to buy masks isn't evidence they don't work to protect against a virus.

And I'm not claiming I have any evidence other than publicly observable patterns relating to both technical glitches and government transparency.

I'm speculating, based on the fact that technical glitches usually occur more than once every 21 years (or even less frequently, since 9/11 grounding was not due to a technical glitch), and that government agencies often lie to the public, that the FAA is not telling the whole truth.

And that is my right to do when commenting pseudonymously on an internet forum. You are similarly free to disagree with me or defer to your blind fealty to a government agency.
The Dark Forest is a fun idea but sounds so clearly illogical to me for so many reasons:

1. The cost of interstellar travel is so obscenely high that the threat posed by the discovery of an alien species on their home planet would be so miniscule to us and them

2. The cost of remotely annihilating an entire species is so absurdly high as to be obviously impractical and basically impossible.

[Spoiler alert] The Dark Forest by Liu Cixin renders all of this irrelevant by the use of science fiction: it purports the existence of interstellar world-destroying weapons that any lowly member of a species can casually "flick" at a "star plucker" to obliterate them. That is not how physics or reality works.

We don't even send our trash to space because just getting it out of Earth's orbit is so ridiculously expensive, yet we're thinking about sending enough explosives to destroy an entire civilization some 100+ light-years away?
Once you step off the beaten path, you find that errors from things like:

false | true

Get silently swallowed by bash (this is configurable, but the default ignores such errors). Also, the point about not noticing that a rule didn't create its target is a good one. (That behavior should be configurable; I don't think it is.)

Anyway, with -j, make is as async as pretty much anything else out there.
> Sorry, that's not really true. Upthread, there's this:

>>> What would an acceptable inclusion measure be?

>> Not asking.

Yeah.

Not asking about the user's gender, not the gendered style of the products they're searching for.

Do you really not see the distinction?

Here, let me clarify: If I was a trans man, this is the difference between telling the website I'm a trans man, versus searching the website for clothing styled for men.

The objection was about the former, not the latter.

Want proof? Here's AnEro's actual comment, which it appears you didn't actually read:

> What features are you bringing me that are improved cause you know my sex? What features are you bringing me that are improved cause you know I'm trans?

(emphasis mine)

> Followed by a whole lot of discussion about finding clothes by using classifications other than gender.

Yeah, because that's the question that was asked.

AnEro asked "What features are you bringing me that are improved cause you know I'm trans".

In response, deelowe asked "What should the option be when I'm searching for clothes and I want to filter out dresses and blouses?".

We answered that specific question with some alternatives ways to achieve that same endgoal that doesn't require the website to ask for the user's gender.

Did you just expect people to change the subject?
Aw, thank you.

As a people manager in MSFT, I would welcome this - it's another great lever to get top performers to come work for you when done effectively. Steal the best employees from the worst managers - the ones who impose draconian leave policies on employees because they simply can, or, due to incompetence, can't enable their folks to take a reasonable (and I' say > than the previous explicit allocation) amount of leave.

I am a pilot and yes, you are absolutely expected to be aware of all NOTAMS relevant to your flight.

FAA examiners will make you do it on checkrides, and depending on how cute they are feeling that day, they may very well quiz you, and will gleefully fail you because you weren't aware that, say, one particular runway was out of service, or there was a runway light out somewhere.

First of all, the most evil institutions that have existed over the last 120 years or so have been doing it in the name of "the people."

Secondly, if a government isn't both confiscating and redistributing the money, who are the group of robbers that you would designate doing this instead? UBI requires authoritarianism.
I asserted that it existed, not that it was the sole engine of economic growth. Why make such invalid inferences?

The fraction of people who volunteer by default is about 15%; ~20% pursue win-win economic outcomes, a similar portion are risk minimizers, and ~30% prefer a zero or negative-sum outcome as long as they come out on top. The remaining fraction don't adhere to any consistent pattern, whether due to stupidity or selectivity.

Honestly I don't see how that could be true. If you hire me and fire me on my first day for no reason I am pretty sure you could prove that there are significant damages, the implication being that you would not have left your job in the first place if Meta hadn't reached out to have you interview.

Egg and bacon / egg and sausage were like $2 when I was there in the 90s. And they were about twice the diameter of the ones you get at McDonalds. I don't know what it costs now, maybe this is something like avocado toast that's become anomalously expensive, but calorie for calorie it was as cheap or cheaper than pizza back then. They could be bought from most bodegas that had a stove, as the peer points out. (The LA equivalent of this type of bodega was the "roach coach" - distinguished from modern food trucks by (a) an apparent lack of formal licensing, (b) presence of construction workers eating there, and (c) charging about 30% the price for the same items. The breakfast burrito, however, had not yet migrated to the East Coast).
I get why many people dislike the idea of working on those skills. The way you put it, some people might go like “I’m not playing ‘games’ like that, and I’m proud of it!”

So, the way I think about it instead is that I’m just another type of system that can be maintained, improved, evolved. And my communication with others is simply an interface. And, well, any engineer can grasp the idea that easy to use and well thought out interfaces are valuable and worth working on.

The problem you describe is not a problem. Think about drastically narrowing the scope. Find a couple users in some extremely underserved niché and study them instead of the developers here. Solve problems that come out from what they tell you/what you see.
Because it's not 2001 all over again. YC companies and other startups are feeling the crunch, but plenty of other places are still hiring. Check out your local govt - chances are they're hiring. It's not sexy, but there's still plenty of work to be found.

I can appreciate that "you do what you know" aspect, so can also see it as respectful too. However, I'm not the one that matters in these cases as I'm not a deity at the head of a religion. Some of these deities get really upset when you don't follow their teachings. Even if you've never heard of them so how could you know. Some deities tell their followers to slaughter all living humans so they can have their land. Some say to kill the non-believers. Some say to do specific things with their remains otherwise damnation for thee.

Let's just say, I would not like to be the one making that decision for fear of sending someone down an eternal path that they might not have expected

My bread-machine dough takes 5 minutes of hand-on time and is ready in two hours. It's not as good as if you let it rest or do a fancier hand- or mixer-prep, but it absolutely will not keep your pizza from being better than any of the major chains (not that that's a high bar, but still).
Yeah. Even around announcements and reveals there's a lot of scares going around. The industry has historically relied very heavily on a big launch hit, so the marketing around that had to be very carefully massaged, and release of information controlled as a consequence.

I'm personally sceptical that it's healthy to be this caged about things, but I don't have any numbers to back this up -- though I suspect nobody else does either, given how marketing is always just a crapshoot.
You make the exact same argument as the article and then call the premise of the article bad... I'm not sure what to make of that.

At least Oumuamua's light sail will only accelerate it to 15-20% of the speed of light. Unless they have some kind of warp drive we haven't seen yet, that should give us (at very least) 20-30 years before the invasion fleet gets here. Probably much longer.
If anything, the word "género" has historically only ever been used in the grammatical sense, while the word "sexo" applies to living things, including humans. I would be very surprised to find references to the "género" of a person in any sources before the 20th century. It's not even that the words were synonyms; earlier speakers would have thought of referring to the "género" of a person as redundant and indistinguishable from the "sexo".

If we make assumptions like that then the sky is the limit for other baseless assumptions, right? We're basically just picking our favourite pseudomagical science and arguing for it?
I tend to split things up based on the resources required.

We had a decent sized data pipeline that was entirely microservice and serverless and it was a real joy to work with.
- Our NLP code lived in a service that ran on GPUs
- our ingest service used a high ram, but relatively simple CPU service to do in-memory joins cheaply and efficiently
- we had a bunch of specialized query services that were just direct requests to AWS services, or a light lambda wrapper around a call to a service.

Coordinated things with airflow and it was very easy to maintain and scaling was pretty efficient since we just scaled the pieces that needed it without wasting money on unneeded compute.

I'd think having less time available to read would make this time more valuable and thus nudge you towards more dense, higher quality long form reading. Seems to be a trap: I have less time so I will read these low effort, short texts instead. So you spend more of a limited resource on a lower yield activity.

You can farm in the natural world as long as you can set up a system to protect your crops but also arguing about the precise amount of resources and agency afforded to you in the natural world is also missing some of the point.

By following social order, populations trade natural rights for the rights of their society. Collectively, the population can choose to stop doing that if they think they’re on the wrong end of the bargain. It doesn’t even necessarily have to be that they’re worse off, but that other parties receive much more of the surplus. This is how deals work in business and it’s the same thing here.
How do they currently?
