How much time did you spend pursuing those new “hobbies”?

I would imagine saying you took some time off for your mental health would be totally fine, I’d have no problems saying that or hiring someone who said that.
It will be interesting to see how Scala 2->3 goes. The timing is good. After an initial boom, interest in Scala settled back into a smaller niche than expected, and since that happened entirely under Scala 2, it won't be blamed on the transition to 3. The smaller community will be easier to help through the process, and the tooling and compatibility are better thanks to Scala being a statically typed language. Having the example of Python to follow (or not, where appropriate) doesn't hurt, either.

What do you mean? The Red-Green step is "test fails, test passes". You don't see the benefit of the test passing? Or you don't see the benefit of having known that the code previously didn't pass?

If you skip straight to green you don't know, for certain, that the test actually tested what you expected. This isn't even a TDD thing. When you're working on an existing, deployed, system and a user finds a problem, you generate a new test (well, sensible orgs and people will). That test will fail, because you haven't addressed the issue yet. That is, it's "red". Then you make it pass by fixing the system, it becomes "green". That's it. If you fix the system and then write the test, do you know that the test actually recreated the original failure? Or is it merely exercising the new or altered code?
I don't know why, but I felt an urge to try to make this behave like a real text editor. You can do it setting the min and max angle to 0, which of course produces a straight line of text. Then, when you want a newline, set the min and max angle to 90, hit space, set both to 270, hit space, and then back to 0 again, and proceed with typing.

Something about bringing order to this tiny little chaos made me happy, I guess.
My best friend from high school did 20 years in prison. He was one of the first people sentenced under Missouri's "3 strikes" sentencing guidelines. He got out a few years ago. He told me, for him, rock bottom was when he heard the judge throw 20 years at him. He didn't think it would happen for such petty crimes (stealing pawnable junk out of people's garages) and his cooperation with the police. But when it happened, he knew they weren't gonna blink; he was gonna do the full 20 years. He did. He also told me that his entire time in prison was actually a gift. He got his life back together. He kicked his drug habits. He finished high school. Got a college degree. And got his own business started training service dogs. He told me the key, for him, to restarting his life was simply not being bitter about his bad situation. He blamed only himself, and decided to dig himself out.
This can actually be an unfair characterization: my company required some developers, who tended to be the stronger technical leaders, become certified scrum masters for their respective teams. Is hate to lose them all
> Well, we’re paying our affiliates 5% for referrals. If we pay charities a tenth of that and call it a donation, it’ll be great PR and we’ll also make a profit on every sale because we won’t need to pay a full commission…”

This is a very good point. When a customer goes to the Smile URL it supersedes whatever other referral link they might have come through, or might be lingering from a prior search/click. Given this framing, it's hard to understand why they would have eliminated it. My uninformed guess is this is about simplicity and saying 'no' to things that are not core to the business. This is something that makes money, but after factoring in the dev time that goes into it, the total incremental revenue is probably not large enough to justify. Amazon says 'no' to lots of new things that would generate revenue, so at some point it makes sense to cut existing programs that aren't making a big enough impact.
In many languages, like German (which may be GPs native language), those two things share the same exact word, requiring modifier words like "biological" to differentiate between the two, making everything a bit confusing when crossing the language barrier.
Absolutely, but it's not a static pool. A lot of new folks happily use 3.10 today that would have looked at 2.7 and gone "what century is this? No thanks", so even if on an individual level Python 3 might feel like it failed you, as a programming language it succeeded in changing with the times and staying not just relevant, but actually popular.
Fair enough. My point wasn't that literally no one does it, but more that it's pretty uncommon. You can't get live errors/warnings in Swift or ObjC outside of Xcode, right?
Hum... Yes, but why did you jump to runtime virtualization instead of compile time? That jump is not obvious at all.
Kevin O’Leary invested and was paid as a promoter. He has made more than he lost. What is to say that the funds aren’t in on the con?
Ohh wow. I have worked in tech for over a decade now and none of this makes sense for me.

Like we follow agile principles (often take the core understanding and apply it in a way that works for the team). Usually the positions you mentioned are just EMs or tech leads with added responsibilities.
Yes. Coq has been around for decades and was adopted by the software verification community. Lean is much younger and its mathematics library caught on with the mathematician crowd, meaning that much of the Lean documentation right now is focused on mathematics. The hitchhiker's guide to logical verification https://cs.brown.edu/courses/cs1951x/static_files/main.pdf is a book more suited for programmers, although it is in Lean 3 and right now the community is migrating to Lean 4.
I always imagined these antarctic stations as a kind of spaceship, with a lot of technology and effort poured into them but maybe a few dozen scientists at most operating everything.

Instead this is a whole town! Wikipedia says the population is 1000 people in the summer, which is probably 20 times more than I would have guessed.

Fascinating, thanks for the link!
> I want pharma and medical innovation to be huge money makers. I want founders and early employees in companies that innovate in these spaces to be fabulously wealthy.

Sure, in an utopian world that would work. But, here on planet Earth, that would massively increase the incentives of fraud. There are already huge issues with this. Increasing the payout by x100 would do more harm than good in this context.
It absolutely is not. It's about risk of absconding. Secondly, no, cash bail is not a thing in the UK. Someone being arrested in the UK for extradition is not part of the UK justice system, they are merely passing through at the request of a foreign nation. Unsurprisingly, foreign nationals can't have their passport taken away by a foreign country, who'd have thought?!?!??!
What measure are you using for "largest"? The US is 3rd in the world by population and 1st by GDP, so in absolute terms it's to be expected that they would be "large" in many categories, simply by having more people and money. (And then there's geographical extent.) The relative (per capita, perhaps) measure is more salient.
Right, because higher-level languages became fast enough for a lot of that stuff. Rust was born into a world where that was already true
Depends on whether their statements about using high pressure to scrub off the thin layer of warmer air right next to the heat sink are accurate. If so it could have significantly better cooling performance for a given CFM.
Which are transferred from the 1993 LaserDisc release, aside from the text crawl of A New Hope. The 1993 LD did use the subtitle "Episode IV: A New Hope", the 2006 DVDs took it from the original film again, but the rest of the movie is a LaserDisc transfer.
That seems extremely pessimistic, and is not "the truth", just your opinion.

Personally, my life really sucked until I was around 16 years old, that's when my life started turning around. Since then, my life have just become better and better every single year, even though I've messed up or others around me messed up. Maybe my view changed, or maybe I'm just getting to know myself better the longer I live, but I see no similarities between what you write, and how my life is.
I’m loathe to even ask (I can’t think of a more accursed combination than Lockheed Martin and cryptocurrency), but: why do you need to shoot a computer into space to measure latency? Can’t you just introduce latency?
To further reinforce the above argument, many environments dominated by Matlab have their instrument control software written in Python. Mathworks have made it pretty easy to call out to Python (although no Conda/Venv support...), they definitely feel the pressure in that area.

(Double checked your username, seems we've discussed the Matlab/Python space before!)

It is not hard to "do it yourself" Start by putting this bit of javascript below into the URL field of a bookmark, give the bookmark a name you like, and put the bookmark somewhere you can find it again:

javascript:(function(){window.location="https://archive.is/"+window.location;})();

Then, when you hit a paywalled site, push this bookmark you made while the paywall site is up. You'll get back either the "view an archived copy" page from archive.is, or you'll be offered the option of actually archiving the page (after which you can view the archived version).

My team was forced to invite a scrum master to several planning meetings. She sat quietly, observed the process, and then a few weeks later disappeared without a trace. We didn’t get any feedback from her or the org. Still not sure what that was about.

I completely agree but one unfortunate reality I've noticed as a still-active dvd collector / aficionado is where the heck to buy them.

$4+ on ebay for an 80% chance low-res bootleg stopped working for me 3ish years ago and I still haven't found a preferable method without resorting to full on pirating which feels like a little too time-consuming of a hobby for more mainstream titles at least.

If you mean the library of Congress sure. If you mean the most libraries not based on a quick google (https://www.quora.com/Which-country-in-the-world-has-the-mos...). But I guess it depends on what you mean. I am genuinely curious as there are several ways of looking at this.

Also, the person above could have been talking about compared to days past. I can tell you the libraries I had access to when and where I grew are less funded (many closed), but again depends on where and what you’re comparing against.
They would have to be extremely well prepared and avoid contact with any research station personnel.
The 7000 year old Earth claim is not found in the Bible or any other sacred text of the Abrahamic faiths. The young earth chronology is a 17th century invention attributed to James Ussher, the Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland, from a literal reading of the Masoretic Hebrew Bible. Biblical literalism as a whole is an 18th century invention, the desire to find literal truth in ancient texts was a product of the scientific revolution.

Used to work for C1. It was never really clear to me what scrum masters did, since our manager understood the technical and cross-team requirements of our product (I know this might not be universal) better than anyone else.

The only time I saw scrum masters really do anything was “leading” standup and “leading” planning meetings every other month. I put leading in quotes because there’s only so much leading one can do if everyone else knows more about the product due to the inherent transitory nature of the scrum master role. Are you really adding value by reminding people that story points (some vague relationship to days of work) can only be Fibonacci numbers?

Inside the company, the CEO loved to tout the “technical journey” they made which included things like moving to the cloud. Agile was on that list but it never really felt like it belonged. Depending on one’s tolerance of the kool-aid, some skepticism was always there.
I'm a Biden Republican, if you say I have no values or principles that's fine. I'm glad you found a way to fit us all into one nice little box. It definitely makes reality easier to navigate.
The chances of that being an improvement are extremely slim at best.
I once worked with one of those heroic security guys before. He setup the firewall so that the public website was only accessible from a white list of known up addresses. New users would need to submit their IP address to him in person before they’d be allowed to browse the site.

He insisted that this was industry best practice and it took two weeks before the site was online again.

There is a recent resurgence of backend-driven website interactivity micro-frameworks like Phoenix LiveView, Rails Stimulus/Hotwire, and most recently (and most generic) htmx. These all advocate for writing minimal (sometime zero) custom JavaScript and driving interactivity through use of partial HTML fragments returned by the backend. They also allow for ultra-simple tooling setup like just throwing a <script> tag into the page instead of having to set up an npm project.

htmx btw is about 12 KB gzipped and enables a surprising amount of interactivity on pages.
Looks like Google learned EEE from Micrsosft quite well.
The areas police are leaving will get worse, because, shockingly, the police aren't some sort of racist hit squad portrayed by the media. The people they have to deal with day in and day out are worse.

People with means who provide value to a local economy will leave and go to places that actually have people willing to uphold the law and treat those that do with respect.

The downside is the leftist useful idiot screaming about racism then moving to Colorado/Florida/Texas for "unrelated" reasons who inevitably vote for corruption, graft, and other endless stupidity and the cycle continues.
As the article you’ve linked states this syndrome affects males, makes them resistant to androgens, so they have an appearance of females.

It doesn’t state anywhere that the patients are either female or belong to a novel category.
Poor guy. Had a bad reaction to something that could save his life. Just like the poors - that's not supposed to happen...

The more he opens his mouth, the less I think of him. And I liked Tesla, and PayPal ... Musk, though. Jeez.
I would probably have agreed 2+ years ago, but I have recently switched to systemd in place of autofs and NetworkManager on a bunch of my devices. Systemd's networkd is actually a joy. A few simple text files, and that's it.

Autofs was always awful.
Finally, a silver lining of the economic downturn!
I was recently going through some old radio programs and it was funny hearing how common public health crises were. In the 80s/90s people were being told to toss out their cast iron pans over concerns of metals leaching into the body. In the early 2000s it was aluminum foil - there was a (since debunked) link with Alzheimer's. And people may not be aware how many of the claims against BPA plastics have since been walked back in the last two decades.

In this case, I really don't appreciate NPR framing issue as one-sided - that only social media uses outrage to sell clicks. Clearly journalists and bloggers are doing their part to push these (imho, tenuous) health claims.

And there are real consequences, our state legislature is currently trying to ban gas appliances in new construction. It's hard not to see all of this coordinated coverage as part of some larger movement being pushed from behind.

(BTW, this is probably all going to happen all over again in the next year in regards to "seed oils".)
Would love to know why mine needs to be forgotten and re-paired to my Nvidia Shield every time I use it now.
only if the response to feeling stuck in someone elses template is doing something random hasty, that you haven't thought through.

before doing anything you should figure out what you want from your life. set goals, check if they are realistic and then take steps to explore.

for example, instead of just moving out, i would have tried travelling. go to another city for a week or a month. try it on for size. take small steps to turn the life that you have into the life that you want.

i was kind of in a similar situation, where i felt stuck in a life without perspective, and decided to move my whole family to another continent, giving up friends and a regular routine for a life of uncertainty and chaos (that wants to be tamed). i don't regret the move, as i have no desire to go back, but i wish i would have been able try first before making a commitment.
> I wonder if the issue would be more how to get such an optimization to the display

This

> Although perhaps it automatically does a comparison between current and previous frame to do its own dirty-pixel optimization.

Some do, like the Boox regal mode, but it stills feels a bit slow and leaves some ghosting. Baking that into the terminal would limit the comparison to the invalidated area, which in a terminal would be a smaller square that the full screen frame, so I'd expect some speed gains.
Considering the revenue incentive behind express lanes, this is likely the reason. The most salesworthy point of buying your way into that lane is so you can go faster than the flow of traffic. Capping that at the speed limit is the same as capping the marginal utility.

That said, I use the lanes regularly on my motorcycle, and I've witnessed triple-digit speeds (estimated, as I would never violate the law so egregiously) from vehicles in those lanes. At some point, license plate readers and toll tags tell a tale of recklessly high speed.
Why is the defensiveness "unpleasant" when you're the one calling engineers incompetent because they work for FAANG? I quote you:

>
In fact, most Google engineers taken out of Google are fucking useless, because they've developed a body of knowledge built entirely on systems that do not exist on the outside, many of which were developed many years ago to make hard problems simpler.

Who is making this unpleasant? You critique a body of engineers, using biased personal anecdotes and no hard metrics, and think I am the one being negative and unpleasant? Insane.
That's really not true though. I worked at a gas station in the 90s and we didn't have any video surveillance. There were FAKE cameras INSIDE, but not connected to anything.

Autodesk did the same with AutoCAD with student licenses, and they unofficially allowed the pirating and use of AutoCAD knowing it would then win market share when people went to work for a company that needed to secure licenses.
Totally self inflicted. I was using a beta version of OpenZFS on a beta version of OSX. Begging for problems and I finally found one. Maybe I was subconsciously looking for an off-ramp of the burden of managing my horde of data. All my personal data was backed up so I just restored that and let the media horde go.

When it comes to interface design, I draw top & down to middle. Find what interface or mechanism that is the common thing that makes the lower-level agnostic and the upper-level about applying or reapplying that mechanism in varying contexts.

Some might call that thing a 'narrow waist' but I don't quite equate it to that although it's a good example. Is the thing you want a stream of bytes, sequence of messages, unsequenced messages, or priority-ordered messages?

The problem with bottom-up is that you don't know the context. The problem with top-down is that you do know the context--and can leak it into what should be without. I find the latter works out better if you're aware of avoiding it. How do you avoid not having context without going top-down?

An analogy in UX would be Windows vs Mac. Windows builds things then puts the UI on what they've built--in many different kinds of settings places. Mac figures out what information & controls the user should have and how to name and group them.

Edit: I actually have a recent real-world example. Making a subsystem for querying and mutating things, what they are doesn't matter. We set out making an 'adjust' operation and a 'move' operation because we wanted to preserve paired decrement/increment amount for moves. We were also certain that we only needed to move between two things, or adjust many things but only of one kind. We got all the way up to the top where the public API was getting close to complete. We discovered use-cases that made sense to to more than those operations. We were able to shuffle things around and ended up with a fully-capable 'adjust' operation that can work on any number of kinds/things, and a fully-capable 'move' operation that can work on any number of kinds/things. On top of that we added checks to only do what we need now. The more general things were substantially harder to make work efficiently which is why we chose not to do it when we were sure we didn't need it. We were wrong.
