2022 Subaru Forrester. Gets decent gas mileage and I wanted a new car that would be reliable because I’ve been traveling a lot around the US these past months. It’s big enough that my wife and I can car camp in the back, which we’ve done a lot when visiting national parks.

The 2023 Subaru hybrid looks pretty sweet as well, I’d definitely consider that in the future.

Yeah but big government put a ton of money into creating these technologies in the first place- why do you think they did it? They’re getting value for their money. Information technology is technology of control.
You know how the basic node does a weighted sum of inputs, and feeds the result to a non linear function for output? This network exploited the addition operation implicit in that first part, the weighted sum.

No, the problem is that the platforms involved do not support any 16-bit float type in an ergonomic way. (The most accessible type on all the platforms, and the one used, is ultimately IEEE 754 binary16.)

My best time ever was with a large group of folks on a route with about 5000ft of elevation gain, and we did it in just under 5 hours. By myself much closer to 6 hours of ride time plus breaks. Doing a century is awesome, and then everyone says a double century is the same, just longer. I want to keep going and see how far I can go. I would much rather do this than learn a new programming language every year.

What are your times? What was the first greatest thing?
> Lawyers may not be the most sympathetic victims and their need to be entertained may not be the most compelling of causes. But their plight, Mr. Greenberg said, should raise alarms about how the use of this technology could spread. Businesses, for instance, might turn people away based on their political ideology, comments they’d made online or whom they work for.

Feel like this is a pretty wild extrapolation that summarizes the core of this. I'm not a fan of the police state that we live in, but at the same time I do not feel a whole lot of empathy towards lawyers that are actively suing the venue? This article even outlines how this practice has been done in NYC for like a hundred years.

On the other hand, if this effort somehow succeeds and we have less facial recognition tech in the wild, props to them.

Sounds like you burned out for a slow-moving enterprise that likely expects regular employee turnover. Also with 10 years of experience and still not having senior title is definitely not a great deal either. The goal-posts for developer titles have moved for some time now (junior, standard, senior, tech-lead/staff, senior staff, etc. etc.) and some have gotten senior title by just having few years of experience. Cultural variance across tech / IT companies are still pretty wild.

You should look for medium or small companies that doesn't have a lot of bureaucratic management layers if you want more direct feedback on the effort you put in. In my experience, success in large enterprises was usually helping your manager sell your project to rest of the company.

Anyways, you definitely should be looking for new opportunities while also cutting back on the amount of effort you put in your current company. General markets might be burning but demand for IT is still forever growing.
there should be an initial tax of net worth say 200 million per billion, then a tax of 20 percent on wealth over a billion.

have it be a global tax, like with a nato like org that basically bars travel, and business dealings for individuals who don't pay the tax.

Then create some global ubi program or some humanitarian Congress to use the taxes to resolve many income inequality issues.

This won't end billionaires but it'd at least hold them more accountable. Personally I think they should be taxed 90 percent on increase(including capital gains, interest, etc), for every dollar over 1 billion, but the powerful would never let anything like that pass.
I haven’t counted, but have had a similar rate over 10 years.
Before reading: If you're at the point of asking, the answer is probably yes. This isn't true of all professions, but for software development it usually is.

After reading: HELL YES. Get the hell out of there (but don't just quit without finding another job first, I mean just start interviewing as soon as you can). "The processes won't allow it" is corp-speak for 'don't expect anything ever from this company'. I've worked at levels above me (did the job of my boss after he quit) and never got a promotion for it, despite being told I should get one if I just hang on, for three years. The way to get to your level is to leave that company and join a new one at the level where you're supposed to be.

The hurdles to getting a new job suck, but you have to do it for your own sanity. Start doing whatever you need to prepare for it now, and make it a priority, even over your job if need be.
While the hardware and software budgets are not the same, some companies do have tricks to make the software team care about hardware at least in theory.

I have never ordered any server hardware, but there's a dashboard where I can see some abstracted infrastructure CAPEX and OPEX numbers for my team, org, division, etc.

These numbers get reported up the food chain and initiatives to reduce costs are rewarded if the savings are significant enough.

Initiatives to support ARM servers or AMD's CUDA equivalents can take a long time and be expensive to achieve full compatibility, but experiments in areas where the effort is not terribly high can demonstrate enough value to fund teams to do so.

I suspect that's most difficult in mid sized organizations where the hardware costs are high enough to get some savings but not high enough to fund a team to work on it, especially once the opportunity cost of new features is taken into account.

Universities, mid sized companies, big companies without a software focus, etc. spring to mind as the ones with the biggest disconnect between hardware costs and ability to fund engineers to cut them down.
Few things need atime at all, even fewer things need synchronous durability guarantees for atime (I'm not aware of any). So writing it out in the background (either when evicting disk cache or after 24h) while keeping the in-memory representation up to date is good enough for most use-cases.

It opened with "Did the developer have any special agreement or contract", so yes, I think that was the point of the post.

I agree that building on other people's platforms is dangerous, but that's true regardless of the contract you have, because contracts only matter to the extent that you can afford to enforce them.

> Title doesn’t matter. Pay does.

For your current role. If you want to switch, it definitely does.

You're not job hopping to FB from Google at L3 and going up to L6.

You might be getting paid like a L5 now - but if you want to leave or get laid off or forced out or whatever - you'll probably end up with a huge career decline and pay decline than if you also had the proper title.

I agree with your first sentence, in the current market.

But an interviewer asking me about my previous job doesn’t worry me. “I left because I decided to take a 6 month sabbatical.” is a perfectly good answer. Don’t like it? Please let me know at the beginning of the interview so I can walk out without wasting my day.
If it's the goal, you'd expect ads to be actually be more relevant and useful to users.

They don't, which has been shown in studies. What has been shown is that showing the same things people already bought give people regret which increases total amount of purchases.

In other word, the goal is to not to give users a good experiences watching ad's. It is to make them buy more, which is an orthogonal goal.
I believe Charm industrial is using the biochar process, but producing oil and pumping it into the ground. Even in fields, it’s a solid idea.

And like you said, it’s recognized as being a very stable store of carbon for a very long time.

The trick is getting feedstock nearby so you aren’t pumping tons of CO2 into the air to acquire, move and process it.
Before quitting, can you find ways of operating in your current role that bespeak senior level ability? Like introducing a new framework, or doing a bigger than expected refactor that helps other departments as part of your regular work? Can you propose something to a project manager that opens up new horizons? Start over-achieving well beyond the expectations, and see if that finally gets you the recognition you want. You don't need a formal title to get the respect and permission to act that a senior dev has. Look up primus inter pares - it's a great position to occupy in an org.
In my situation, "the other guy" ends up using MY first.last@g as HIS spam email; this has led to some embarrassing FWDs to his wife [from me], as he mistakenly provided their home phone number in to one of his spammers (so I got it, as he had used my email [instead of his] to keep spam out of his inbox).

Too much fun, telling his wife about his porn-viewing habits and other miscellaneous secrets.

I don't use email anymore, but I maintain this account just because it pisses him off... I think this high-up at some tech company (that shares my same name) secretly expects me to just hand over the account I signed up for fifteen years ago, now... not happening, Mr. S.
> what the allure of Gmail still is (other than cost)?

You need one to use Play Store on Android. At least I think you need a GMail one. Even if not, the Play Store and the Android OS itself make it seem like you need one, from the second you turn a brand new phone on. The funneling is quite heavy here.

(Heavy enough that almost everyone in my family uses a GMail account mostly just for the Play Store. My wife and I pay for Fastmail, some of other members of my immediate family have primary e-mail with a local free mail provider, but everyone found it easier to use an old (or make a new) Google account with their Android phones, instead of figuring out how to make it work with non-Google e-mail.)
Sir Thomas More : There's no law against that.

William Roper : God's law!

Sir Thomas More : Then God can arrest him.

William Roper : While you talk, he's gone!

Sir Thomas More : Go he should, if he were the Devil, until he broke the law.

William Roper : Now you give the Devil benefit of law!

Sir Thomas More : Yes, what would you do?

William Roper : Cut a road through the law to get after the Devil? Yes. I'd cut down every law in England to do that.

Sir Thomas More : And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned on you...where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws from coast to coast...Man's laws, not God's, and if you cut them down...and you're just the man to do it...do you really think you could stand upright in the wind that would blow then? Yes. I give the Devil benefit of law for my own safety's sake.

From my understanding C is really nonchalant about this. The resistance is mostly from the OS side.

I'm sure with C++ it's more complicated, but not impossible. With Rust it gets really funny. You have to subscribe to a completely unrelated mental model to read some numbers from a tape.
> While the cost to colonize elsewhere is "mine the earth to a wasteland"

I'm not sure where this idea is coming from. I think the idea of most modern colonisation plans is to use materials at the location to build habitats etc, by 3d printing using martian soil or lunar regolith, not ship millions of tons of natural resources into space.
I’m pretty sure it is just intended to be a bit of fun.
Oh, I see what you mean. I guess it depends on whose definition of "relevant" you follow.
Hell, no.

I was just wondering if there was an even better product of a design by committee.

ASCII is pretty good for its time and how it was created.
If the data was generated from a generator of constant complexity, its kolmogorov complexity cannot exceed the complexity of the generator. As the amount of data increases, the kolmogorov complexity will increase until it converges after a finite amount of data. At this point we effectively have the generator so we can generate infinite data.
Rust Analyzer can add `use` statements on confirming completion and clippy will complain/remove unused ones, if that's what you want.

What I am saying is that rate needs to continue to be positive and out of 20% survivors many will not carry the survival gene. And on top of that, it isn't just one thing that kills a rabbit in your example, the climate, not finding mates, predators, disease and more all must be overcome at once. Survivors must overcome a wide array of adversity and succesfully pass on that combination of abilities and this needs to happen every generation.

Look at it in bits and bytes. For each adversity overcoming feature that a species has inherited, let that a be a bit set to 1. With 2 adversaries you have only two bits where only need one out of 4 individuals that has both bits on. For a realistic adversity of 32, you need 4billion bits all set to one. And this is without considering how a survival trait against one adversity can be a fatal trait against another. Now these bits need to be passed on, if one of them is missing then the only chance that individual has to survive is by pure chance they avoid that adversary.

Think of the endless adversities we face and overcome, you are saying for millions of generations, there has been an unbroken chain of survivors that kept overcoming a geometrically expanding adversity. Just a degree increasing in the global temperature causes entire ecosystems to collapse.

Survival is the exception, not the default.
Oh, please...

Let’s say you’re DHS. You contact some person and have a conversation like this

Govt: “I need IP addresses, ideally cellular and known public wifi, of a person using this email address”.

Data broker: “Here’s the list including the most recent cellular IP address associated with that person at this timestamp and their most used public wifi locations.”

Govt: “Hey, cellular provider, where is this subscriber right now?”

Provider: “Here’s the lat/long, last seen 1 second ago. Happy hunting!”
There is a risk that seriously entertaining or promoting a plan B undermines efforts to execute plan A, sustainable lifestyles on Earth.

For longer than we've been alive, factories have typically posted signs with "X Days Since a Time Lost Accident".

I've more recently seen signs with "X Days Since a Near Miss Incident".

This "Log Of Surprise Incidents" is the next step in the evolution, and is a good one.

Seems like definitely a good idea to build up a history of "We did X and expected Y, but got Z instead. Why?"
Really? Mine usually only takes about 30s per image for 50-step 512x512 images (which is perfectly reasonable for my purposes)...I wonder if it has to do with the RAM (I've got an M1 Max with 64GB)? Or maybe I'm just not doing it enough to care about the speed so much.

I don't know if I have an unusual association with clutter, but I find it somewhat comforting to be around 'my stuff'. It may still of course be a counterproductive distraction like having the TV on in the background and not watching it.

I spent more than a couple days in a hotel room recently and was surprised how empty it felt when I was doing more or less nothing. At home I could have done the same and not noticed how much time I was wasting.
Where do you work so I can ensure we never meet?
And do what? Possibly tarnish your name forever and waste a metric ton of money? No man. You just leave.

Plus, a lawyer would be a luxury these days with all the mediation agreements being forced down our throats.
I disagree, unless you are mentally breaking down you should hold.

You will be exponentially more attractive to recruiters while employed. Recruiters/HR will treat you as high value and will value your time a lot more if you are just changing jobs.

The opposite is true for someone looking for opportunities whilst unemployed, irrespective of industry experience.

The difference in recruited experience is massive having experienced both scenarios. It is just an unavoidable human bias from future employers.

I'm sorry, this means nothing.

As you made extraordinary claims regarding the security of Linux, did you based your personal assertion on any real world comparison between OSes? Because so far you failed to provide any support for your claim, beyond pointing out a mailing list thread on a single memory error in a RC1 within a 12M loc codebase.
> If you do something obvious like use amazon@example.com at amazon, you should expect them to add a rule that blah_blah_anything@example.com gets cleaned up to "@example.com"

It seems like a very error prone thing to do automatically, while reaping little in return for the effort. How much do advertisers stand to gain by adding special case heuristics for "people who might be using an unshared email domain with a per-site local-part?"

If I give my email as me+amazon@gmail.com, normalizing it to me@gmail.com is just applying a bit of common knowledge about how an email service with billion(s?) of users handles the + sign in the local-part of an address. It's a carve out, but it's totally deterministic (for Gmail at least) and applies to a lot of users.

If I give my email as amazon@2d0d4809.com, normalizing it to @2d0d4809.com involves guesswork about that specific domain. I don't think normalizing away the + sign in the first case implies we should expect the latter to get normalized into a single identity as well.
tru64 fully survived the merger of DEC into Compaq and then HP; the enterprise I work for had one of (if not the) largest trucluster in the world until not that long ago, and HP fully supported it. Migrating folks off it to linux wasn't easy, as the system had wonderful properties.

Oracle took the cluster tech and added it to oracle.
This. There was recently a trendy thread on HN about how great CGI was. WSGI is basically one of the spiritual successors to CGI: it's a simple way for a web server and a Python application to interact.

It addresses one of the major shortcomings of CGI by not requiring to launch a new process for every request. 20 years later it is still going strong and is still by far the main way Python web apps are served.

Atari pioneered the use of Hall effect joysticks in the arcade I Robot from 1983. I think they had a patent on it at the time.

There are interesting stories online about the problems they had. They were stumped by a game at a specific location that kept going haywire and requiring recalibration. Kept sending engineers out to fix it over and over. Turned out the arcade was next door to a scrap yard with one of those big magnetic cranes, which was completely messing up the sensing. [1]
