Native New Yorker here. Out of towners are obsessed with the BEST slice, but the true measure of NYC's 45 degree greatness is the decent quality following a Poisson distribution. My tip: just travel to any random spot in the five boroughs. First; you will be impressed how close you are to a pizza spot wherever you are. Second: you will be impressed with the slice, and with the variety of people who are good at making it.

What are you even arguing against? The post isn't anti-government, and it's not advocating we go back to those times.
Yea neural networks were actually invented in the 40s by Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts at University of Illinois at Chicago. They had a few isolated results until GPUs and distributed computation really kicked them into high gear and that made the change in terms to “deep learning” and now GPT-3 and other networks are hyperparamaterized neural networks with millions to billions of parameters .
Yeah for sure, also a really good point.
1: As said by others they will pay out unused PTO in April. That said, they can put it in conjunction with layoffs but I would think they would do it earlier than then pay less. After April, it is WAY easier to do Layoffs for them though, the band-aid is ripped off.

2: For old policy, yes, after that, you formally get '0 PTO' by law.
Maybe because it's similar to "the UK" (United Kingdom).
That's simply not true, because you aren't accounting for the large losses in energy between the flames and the food. Induction is significant more efficient at getting the heat to the food.
Yeah, I know where you're coming from, but...when you've taken as many defensive driving classes I have from my younger days (we all know why), then some of the things they teach definitely start to stick with you. If you are forced to drive in rush hour traffic every day, there's definitely not much you can do. So, stop driving in rush hour traffic!! After that, you stop driving next to cars. You place yourself in the gaps even if that means slowing down. And that was my biggest Doh! moment was learning to accept that slowing down has so many benefits. One of the take aways form defensive driving was always leaving yourself an out. Being cognizant of not having an out for unexpected need for avoidance maneuvering will go a long way of avoiding the situations you experienced.
Looks very interesting!

I've been having trouble getting good SIMD performance from WASM. Are there any benchmarks posted anywhere comparing Highway's performance on various native targets vs WASM?

This. 100%. Leverage as much pre-built stuff you can, especially with something as important as your HTTP layer. Whenever I run out of CRUD verbs for a model and I need to add a custom endpoint, I'll implement it in a separate APIView sublcass. Convention over configuration; write boring code.
Then I have to disagree, because while you’re right that it’s led to a lot of people disconnecting, I think we’re making progress overall. So it is effective, maybe just not as much as some theoretically perfect approach that no one can think of and that we can’t afford to wait for.
I assisted with a few residential electrical-service upgrades last year (in California). ...If the plumbing pipe could be used as one of two paths to ground (i.e. conductive all the way), it was. Otherwise two grounding stakes were installed instead of one.

> A post-operative trans person will display different physiology from what their chromosomes indicate.

Correct: they display a physiology significantly different from what they would naturally produce without hormonal and surgical alteration. Gender is a social construct that is expressed, while sex is an inmate characteristic determined by chromosomes (though the vast majority of people express a gender corresponding to their sex).

Gametic sex is redundant with chromosomal sex. A person without a Y chromosome will never, ever produce sperm. A person with a Y chromosome will not ever produce eggs. Genuine intersex conditions are extremely rare (on the other of hundredths of a percent) and no one has ever produced both gametes.

Gender identity is so strongly correlated with sex that it's reasonable to use them interchangeably. When we say "women give birth", "girls start to menstruate at puberty" and "men experience colorblindness more often" good faith listeners understand the unstated implication that this extends to transgender men that retain functional uteruses and trans women.
Kind of a bad example.

If I could have a TRUE pots phone, I'd jump on it.

Instead all you can get it psuedo-POTS jammed over VoIP.

Real POTS in the old days was actually kinda magic. You never had the "everyone talking over everone else" thing you get with any VoIP solution because you don't have a syllable or two (more if using cell) of hidden latency.

Other than the audio rolling off everything above about 3.5khz, real POTS is as close as you can get to being in the same room.

They're not required to do it, and they rarely let you do anything that isn't legally required?

Something doesn't add up here, because telecoms letting you port your mobile number to another provider is the status quo. I can't remember the last I heard somebody complain that they weren't able to port their number when changing providers. I've done it four times myself, and each time it was painless.

Solution? Talk about messaging apps. Find the intersection of the ones you both use.

This is the beautiful thing about phone numbers. The likes of iMessage will use iMessage if both users have it.

Author's assumption is that private property created poverty, and that hunter/gatherer societies were somehow more ideal than agrarian ones, which is nonsensical.

Poverty is the default state. It's there by default. Do nothing, have nothing. Do nothing as a hunter/gather, you're poor relative to your peers and you die.

Whatever cult UBI arises from is attempting to ameliorate the default by giving people something for nothing. Fine. That's honest.

I wish people here could use reasonable judgment instead of a kind of judgment that reflects "something is possibly true technically, but not really realistic, but I'm going to treat as true anyway because it runs against a mainstream/political narrative so someone rebut me"
If I were a helicopter in IFR conditions and I just need a gas stop, I've never landed here, I'd forget about it, there's five heliports within 20 miles that have absolute zero drama. Legally technically the heliport is open but why risk it?

If I were shooting an IFR approach for currency in perfectly clear air, or with an instructor and its midday and cloudless right now, sure, have some good training.

If the engine's on fire, well, your odds are vastly better trying to land than trying to fly 20 miles away. If you're 600 feet off course and below 60 feet AGL you're probably going to crash anyway so don't worry about a crane.

They just have a crane onsite fixing some things, its not like the airport is closed just don't be surprised seeing some extra flashing lights and flags.

> Remind me again, in the US, how many white people were sold in to chattel slavery?

Even an answer of zero doesn't address or contradict my original point.

There's no such thing as "neoslavery". Racism was certainly used after the war to reduce labor solidarity between the white working class and the newly-freed black laborers, however, that fact also doesn't address or contradict my original point.
I think there is at least a third group. People who don't care about Nazis or whatever but just want to enjoy the new toy.
This is almost certainly ahead of layoffs. This allows them to reset already accrued PTO to 0, and then when the layoffs start to occur after January 16, they won't pay out that PTO (since, again, it is 0).

To give a specific example: Imagine someone has 30-days PTO as of January 15. If they were laid off the company might be contractually obligated to pay it out at whatever rate was agreed (e.g. 50% @ 200K salary is $8K, 100% is $16K). But as of January 16 with the flick of a pen they have 0 PTO and saved thousands or even millions of dollars in layoff costs.

I don't mean this disrespectfully, but people who are "pro" this move are naive. Research has shown this reduces PTO taken and regardless it reduces the cost of layoffs/takes money out of employee's pockets.

I think this is purely a tech industry problem of move as fast as possible. Other engineering disciplines have detailed diagrams (breakdown of car parts for example and how to put it back together). It is just not a priority in the tech industry. Until regulation forces fines for software bugs or outages there will never be a priority to pay people to maintain documentation.

I see `.PHONY` as a hack, `MAKEFLAGS += --no-builtin-rules` as a workaround, and many of the builtin functions as being difficult to use, read, and understand. A long string of nested replacements generating the sources for a task is a pain to read and maintain.

What I want out of task runners nowadays is to run tasks. If I can't make a task without writing '.PHONY' - there's a problem with the task runner.

With the Firewalla Purple and their iOS app, I've never seen such good UI/UX in a networking product, and it's been a great experience (I recommend the Purple or the Gold).

Similar position here. CS major who went to work software / FAANG pretty much for my 30 year career.

Something about mechanical engineering feels amazing, unlike software getting real tangible /physical/ results from your work. I feel the CS experience gives a very distinct advantage as well here. Software and CAD isn't scary for a CS brain. CnC (additive and subtractive) seems like logical way to do everything, which is what makes cool parts for projects.

I've acquired a few cheap Harbor Freight welders and oxy/acetylene cutting tools, started with small CnC routers to carve soft metals for parts. 3d print what I can't do in metal.

One really easy area to get into for a software dev is robots, look into RoS, an open source robotics OS based on Linux, order some parts from the RoS wiki. And you can get to your own advanced little r2d2 pretty quickly (real-time 3d mapping of your house, arm with gripper control, voice control, image recognition in real time) - most of the software pieces that ME might struggle with are not so difficult for CS folks, and it enables some really cool results!
All states are "at will" except for Montana. And Montana isn't especially worker friendly, just not exactly "at will".

It can be difficult to fire people in big layoffs because 1) you want to make sure they don't sabotage things (or just walk out with details that they didn't write down), and 2) because it's really easy to stumble into "protected class" issues, e.g. 10% of your workforce is POC but 30% of those laid off identified as POC, etc.
2009 was not a prosperous economy. The economy was quite bad until late 2011.

You started off your adult life in a pretty bad recession.

Maybe college insulated you from that.

2020 was shorter than 2001 - but MUCH worse. 2001 wasn't very bad unless you worked in tech in The Bay or invested your life savings in Internet meme stocks.
ISTR the genesis of the project was a days-long Galileo outage, back when it was in "testing but probably usable" phase, and a stark lack of transparency or updates from the folks running the network.

But it's not exactly hidden, you can infer quite a lot of things about the satellite status, if you just listen to what they're telling you. The trouble is, they're all over and moving fast, so you need a lot of friends with receivers to feed you the data, then you can put together a picture of the constellation health.

Ergo, Galmon.

Since then, it's turned out that a bit of sunlight on the operation of all four GNSS constellations, not just Galileo, has revealed quite a lot about their inner workings, availability, and health of individual satellites.

One bird in particular was launched into a wrong-but-not-useless orbit by a rocket failure that juuuuust barely got it up there but didn't finish the job. Trouble is, most receiver software assumes the orbits are very nearly circular, and a highly elliptical orbit is both problematic if used for general navigation, and a useful source for testing more robust receiver software that can compensate for it. (Maybe the software wasn't correcting for other satellites' slight ellipsity as well as it could either.) So Galmon provides a view of that satellite's status as observed by receivers all over.
this seems super cool! how is this free?

240V. Since we're throwing around numbers, let's be accurate. This is a pet peeve of mine. We've been standardized at 240V since 1967, and it was higher than 220V years before that.

3 Challenges of product innovation according to MIT
asked chatgpt to turn the post into a song, here you go:

At MIT, I got to go,
To learn some things, don't you know.
In a program called "Systematic Innovation",
We learned how to create with imagination.

Chorus:
To make a product people will use,
It's gotta be three things, you can't refuse.
Desirable, viable, and feasible,
That's the framework, believe.

Verse 2:
First things first, it's got to be desirable,
Something people want, that's undeniable.
Design thinking, empathetic design,
Helps us figure out what people pine.

Chorus:
To make a product people will use,
It's gotta be three things, you can't refuse.
Desirable, viable, and feasible,
That's the framework, believe.

Verse 3:
Next, it's gotta make sense for business too,
You can't just hope it sells, that's not true.
Disruptive innovation, jobs to be done,
Helmer's 7 powers, all under the sun.

Chorus:
To make a product people will use,
It's gotta be three things, you can't refuse.
Desirable, viable, and feasible,
That's the framework, believe.

Verse 4:
Last but not least, it's got to be feasible,
Something you can build, that's ideal.
The greatest idea in the world,
But if you can't make it, it's all unfurled.

Chorus:
To make a product people will use,
It's gotta be three things, you can't refuse.
Desirable, viable, and feasible,
That's the framework, believe.

Outro:
I went to MIT to learn new ways,
To think through my next venture, and make it a craze.
This framework's super helpful, it's a good reminder,
When creating something new, you don't have to be a sinner.

The make syntax is basically as simple as it gets; it's grammar is even shorter than the JSON spec itself... what you do with it is another story, but you don't have to use autotools.

> Try and do something a bit more complex, deal with m4 macros, maybe the autoconf syntax, and you'll feel like you're back in the 1970s.

I have been in the club from those who used the word "Autohell", and while I have used it I would most definitely _never_ write "GNU style" Autoconf script that would check even the system's max supported argv length; but frankly, just everything that has come since these "1970s" is just plain worse. These days I'm lucky if the build system doesn't have me learning languages that are _significantly_ more complex than m4 (e.g. bastardized copies of Tcl), or even truly general purpose languages like Python or JS. Have you tried debugging a failing "yarn build" for a random project recently ? It really makes me wish for the Autohell days.
POtS came with other drawbacks too though.

I agree completely.

Also, the following statement is based on a false premise: “ Let's just recognize that Earth actually does belong to all of us, everyone in the present and future, and that those who own pieces of it, and who create things out of it, owe compensation to the rest of us for removing our access to what would otherwise have been common property.”

This implies that creation itself is some kind of theft. The actual theft is taking something from a creative, productive person and giving it to an idle one.
Here in France very few people use SMS to talk with friends.

They are now mostly just used by companies to send short notifications (like if you drop your car off at a repair place they'll send you a SMS when its ready to pick up). It's good enough for quick one offs like that and not much else.

Most people use whatsapp and some signal or telegram.

The US seems to be pretty backwards on technology. Chip based payment cards have been universal here since the 90s (maybe even before) while the US was still on magstripe for decades.

> Land used to exist without a monetary cost to access it. That was the natural way of things prior to the private property system and monetary system. We created poverty as we know it.

This is silly. First of all, only wealth can be created or destroyed, not poverty, which is the absence of wealth. My ape ancestor swinging from a tree without easy access to food, clothing, shelter or medicine is poorer than I am, full stop.

Second of all, there has never been a paradise where resources are communally owned without clear limitations on the use and distribution of those resources, usually at the behest of corrupt, tyrannical or murderous leaders.

Third of all, the existence of a monetary cost or private property is moot when it comes to defining ownership. An eagle doesn't use money or property laws to own his nest, but it's not like any other eagle can use it without cost.
