There's some cool ideas here. From what I understand, you basically implement a few endpoints in a serverless-esque fashion, which have access to methods to store data, and the engine will keep the client updated and handle consistency?

I can definitely see this as something to bootstrap a backend quickly. It could serve as a nice in-between of Firebase/Supabase and a fully fledged server.

It took me a long time to grok the docs though. It would be great if there were more simple examples. The landing page refers to a lot of the nitty-gritty details, including method names and services in the architecture, but imo that's getting into the weeds before explaining the value prop. I also had a hard time figuring out the apidemo page on my phone screen.
> mistakes what makes educating children challenging for the goals of education.

It would probably be more accurate to call them constraints.

> to paint the entire educational system with the same shitty brush is absurd.

I am not claiming it's shitty - I do believe you actually have to socialise kids, and familiarise with functioning of modern society, many families parents won't be able to do it.

Windows 10 controls VMware network settings which are behind UAC.

So if you want to run a Kali Linux Vmware guest and use Wireshark in promiscuous mode, you better check and reset the VMware network settings each time before running Kali Linux.

Windows changes these VMware network settings to what it wants!

Its the first time I have seen windows change settings behind the UAC prompt to what windows wants.

High gas prices are great for renewable energy providers. They drive up overall electricity prices without increasing their cost. So, that means huge fat returns on investment. Same for homeowners installing solar and batteries in their houses of course.

It's bad news for gas energy providers, however. They basically get less competitive the higher the prices get. Also, there's the notion of shutting down expensive generation when there's a surplus of cheaper renewable energy. More renewables means this happens more frequently. This is why coal, and increasingly gas plants as well, are having a hard time in the market. They basically get forced into a secondary role where hey only spin up to full capacity if there's a shortage instead of operating at peak capacity most of the time.

Of course the reason gas prices are trending up is increased exports of LNG to Europe. This is likely to continue for the next few years.

The consequence for EV owners is that road side charging is going to be expensive but there may be much cheaper ways to charge the car at home or at anywhere you can leverage non grid, renewable power directly. Even road side chargers can reduce their dependence on grid pricing by supplementing grid energy with e.g. solar and batteries. They'll be competing on charging cost for vehicle owners. The higher the cost, the greater the incentive for vehicle owners to detour to cheaper chargers.

Plenty. I live in a very dark sky area - about 2 bortle - and I threw a small star party for some local friends and their friends. They were astonished when I pointed out that you can see satellites, and there was some lively debate over whether the milky way was just a cloud.

>4. Stop letting single mothers raise children.

The only way that can happen is either by forcing mothers to marry or to take their children away and make them available for compulsory adoption.

>5. Stop raising low-income kids with high-income kids.

This is straight up segregation by "economic class". Essentially reinventing serfdom.

>7. Make the world smaller.

The only way this can be implemented is through massive censorship and travel restrictions.

>8. Stop letting your kids have unrealistic dreams.

The arbiter of "unrealistic" can also decide what is "realistic" and choose it according to their own ideology.

Ultimately all of these things are about forcing down a particular world view down the throat of people with no regard fo their autonomy and feelings, instead they are being demanded to stop thinking and do nothing but obey.
It doesn’t work like this. Once a technology has been invented, you cannot out-regulate it out of existence. It will be developed to its conclusion, if only out of curiosity, not to mention the powerful market forces.

However, I don’t see anything too awful with mass adoption of AI. If it is unreliable, people will soon learn not no rely on its decisions, and keep it just for the entertainment value (the optimistic scenario, just like it happens now). If it can be made reliable, it will evict humans out of most decision loops (the pessimistic scenario; but at least we will have a reliable AI, for the short time before it will be plugged into military decision-making).

Attempting to regulate it is futile, though. If there is a competitive advantage, it will be exploited in any possible way. It is easy to regulate something that can be observed. AI in decision loops can be hidden.
Capital expenditure isn't a bad thing.
Buying equipment before you need it is cheaper than scrambling to buy something when its urgent.

Doing only things that you otherwise despise but which advance you somehow is also a way to a major depression, or some other mental injury.

OTOH diving head-first into your passion and ignoring everything else, including such things as the need to earn a subsistence, is also a recipe for disaster in all but very few exceptional cases.

I'd say there is a middle way, of doing something of what the opportunity pushes at you, but selecting from it the bits that have a glint of what you enjoy doing. Sometimes you get better opportunities, sometimes worse, but you move in the general direction of your, well, "passion".

Being good at making enough money and/or freeing enough time by doing something which typically is not 100% your passion, you eventually obtain resources to indulge in your passion directly in your free time.

"We are sliding into a darker world order. "

This is the TLDR; I guess Japan will not be the only country taking similar steps.

Bad article. It doesn’t say what percentage of boys in tech don’t become tech undergrads, so from the data it presents, it can’t be concluded that this is a gender issue.

Read the source (https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/mckinsey-digital/our-i...) instead. It clearly shows it is a gender issue, with a bar graph showing sharp drop offs in % of girls between early high school and B.Sc enrollment and between getting a tech PhD and (getting or pursuing) a tech role in any company.

I don’t know whether it didn’t include “high school diploma”. That makes it unclear whether the drop occurs in high school or at the crossing between high school and university.

And also, of course, there’s the difficult issue on whether women don’t get tech roles or don’t pursue tech roles as much as men, and, if they don’t pursue them, to what extent that is a 100% individual choice rather than partly/mostly societal pressure/boys networks/etc.

The thing is: as mentionned in other comments, research papers may spread really different fields... so some kind of either search or category may help to find good content wrt specific knowledges.
Not all managers are that involved in implementation details. My experience is that most managers value deliverables: new features for users. Software engineers value good structure and reducing technical debt. Good managers listen to their engineers and let them tackle tech debt, and smart engineers tell managers that tackling tech means they can deliver new features faster and more reliably in the future.
Let’s put it this way.. if they had actually cracked true FHE, they wouldn’t be a company anymore having been bought by the US government for billions of dollars.
Hi ralmidani, I recognize being picky like that with tech choices.

I've spent much of my last four years systematically turning down every project a specific director has launched.

The turn downs save enormous amounts of our hardware budget, and each time are measured as not happening users.

No one has yet noticed that basically none of that directors projects are still running and put together that the things he builds stop working after two years.

I keep getting paid good senior engineer money, and don't have to think too hard about what my next project should be. But it's really demoralizing to realize that he will continue to be promoted.
>It's that he chose to develop and share how he did what he did. It's that you can read through one of his papers and it makes you feel like you could have applied his methods and made the same discovery. Of course that's not necessarily true, but that it's even sometimes true is remarkable.

Exactly Right!

This is the reason i worship at the "Altar of Dijkstra :-)" because he shows by example how to apply mathematical logic to develop a step-by-step solution to seemingly complicated problems. I am more interested in understanding the methodology of thinking involved in the problem-solving process (the essence of his genius which cannot be taught directly but can only be demonstrated via examples) than the details of the actual examples themselves.

To borrow Dr. Watson's words about Sherlock Holmes (from the story "The Red-Headed League");

I trust that I am not more dense than my neighbors, but I was always oppressed with a sense of my own stupidity in my dealings with [Edsger Dijkstra]. Here I had heard what he had heard, I had seen what he had seen, and yet from his words it was evident that he saw clearly not only what had happened but what was about to happen, while to me the whole business was still confused and grotesque.
> Now, could we reform the system? I supposed we could, but society relied on a set of assumptions on how schools work. If you need to implement reforms, you cannot focus on school systems in isolation.

Indeed, but now we are talking about change in two systems.

Like we have 100% proof that starting school later is better for the kids, but many people don't even realise that their taxes are funding childcare, so convincing them to fund additional childcare will be very difficult.

Then maybe step out of the comfort zone a bit and leave frontend for some embedded real world stuff?

I see your point though. Software has grown so big and detached from the problem that people don't get proper feedback about what they delivered and that makes for a bad quality. In niches it can be better that is why I started that way.
Pretty much everyone who studied a second language went through the process of the so called "impression", that is, when you try to consume (sometimes almost mindlessly) as much content in this language as possible — just learning rules doesn't work. Pretty much everyone I met who speaks exceptionally well is usually someone who read a lot of books. And then people think and act in the language they learned using this process. I want to believe that there is more to the average human intelligence but ChatGPT surely makes it feel a lot less magical than before. I guess it's how people felt when they discovered evolution and that Sun doesn't go around the Earth.
I'm not a researcher but anecdotally, I found that there is less sex when:

* Income inequality (very high around the world and in US)

* Struggling financially (no mood, less likely to go out on dates which can cost a lot, males with less money feel less worthy)

* Stress at work (no separation between home and work for WFH people, anxiety due to various reasons for office workers, long work hours)

* Can't afford to move out of parents' house or can't afford to live alone

As the title suggests, being able to have sex is the result of the above being in a good place. Telling people to have more sex is like telling people to ignore all their problems.
We’re too early for the Butlerian Jihad and too late to stop the hype.
I'd say that there's a reality (whatever it is; some phenomena that can be observed in whatever ways), and there are models of it.

Unless the reality has very particular properties (some kind of regularity / redundancy), every model of it is a simplification, so it has discrepancies. Even if the reality is regular and compressible perfectly into a model, it's rather hard to come up with such a model, and to prove it's the right one.

It won't be hard for them to bypass this, and that means they'll be spending all their time on porn websites willing to break the law.

It also means when these websites eventually get hacked, those hackers have access to a bunch of material to blackmail huge swaths of the population.

Overall seems like a bad move.

Well, unless that cloud of chemical smoke becomes rain elsewhere, stuff seeps into the water, etc. That said, I've had some time to peruse some of the sources here and at least the nearby water treatment plants claim to be doing more testing, so there's that.

I'd still be more than a little concerned if I were nearby, though. And it doesn't usually take a partisan boogeyman to talk about better safety and prospects of environmental damage.

Part of the problem with that is usually exactly what you say: it really is too easy to ignore and it really shouldn't be.
> "cloud points" per month so that the invoice remains constant

So true. At one point Google Ads had a BillingCap enum in their APIs, used to set up "capped actuals", a scheme also known as "monthly with rollover". Something that I understood as selling monthly quotas of a consumable, or as you put it, "cloud points".

My notes points to: https://developers.google.com/ad-manager/api/reference/v2019... . But this URL is broken and I can't find any trace of "capped actuals" anywhere in Google's documentation. I guess it was probably rebranded/refactored into budgets/monthly spending limit/monthly invoicing/whatever.

At the end I think "points" is a better way to sell this feature. If this is generic enough, it can be an answer to airlines' miles and similar loyalty programs the retail industry is fond of.

This is arguably similar to VMware Tools’ DirectX support, where it works best on a Windows host due to being able to just forward DX calls to the host (with some partitioning/address translation).

Microsoft’s DX backend for WSL could just be a wrapper around the host’s DX rather than a reimplementation. Making that work on any Linux machine would be impossible because it’s essentially just a shim.

Lotta specific bitterness here. This reads a lot like a manifesto from someone about to shoot up their office. One example:

>> A manager enjoys "software architecture", design patterns, and language lawyer type of knowledge

Sorry, what is "language lawyer type of knowledge"? Does the OP mean the ability of others to better articulate and convince the manager of the reasons for making certain architectural decisions?

There's something about the phrase "language lawyer type of knowledge" which is specifically derisive of engineers who are committed to the larger task and willing to make a case for their approach. It's a phrase which aims to diminish the value of reasoned debate in communicating pros and cons of various approaches; it's practically an ad hominem attack against anyone who uses words to make a point. My read of this was that the person who wrote it got fired for poor communication skills, was bitter, and penned a poorly written attempt at post-justifying their failure.

> 2. How did you learn how to operate in the working world? What we were some of the most important skills, mental models, etc that helped you succeed?

It’s different for everyone depending on their role and company size / org / culture.

One thing that remains universal is writing for yourself and others is a high leverage activity.

Get used to writing and journaling, write for yourself to clarify thoughts. Write for others to educate and persuade.

> 3. Has anyone experienced any effective "bootcamp" style training programs that help new grads or even experienced knowledge workers level up in these areas?

When you are just starting out you learn on the job, find mentors and internal experts to help navigate the tools and processes. The biggest skill here is being proactive and taking copious notes to get up to speed on the jargon and “how things work”.

Usually you hit a ceiling and either find an individual contributor track or a management track. If you need some rounding out then you go do an MBA.
