Obviously in terms of pedestrian safety, you're more likely to hit a pedestrian in the open/drive area of the lot rather than in a spot. So backing in is indeed safer for pedestrians. But for just about every other reason, it is impractical.

Also, valets are more practiced and often are parking in areas where only they are placing and moving cars. So it's a more uniform, controlled environment. The cars are probably lined up better, making it easier to get in, and the other cars are probably not moving at the time since only the valets move them occasionally.
> Stop the cult of "build faster with tech debt" -- internal quality matters and costs you velocity.

Well, internal quality costs, and the price is expressed in time.

As someone else said: "shipping is a feature", and especially for first versions! The quality of the code is only important for that code that actually brings value to the user, and you need to ship in order to know which is which.

The problem with technical debt stems from the diffused myth that the development of a functionality ends as soon as it is released. No, you must continue to work after the first release, in order to polish the code while integrating the feedback from the user. This is the core of Agile.
This, and remote working. People need to understand how capitalism works. Value extraction always comes back around in your final bill.

None will give you that extra day without eventually adjusting the salary. This is not a predatory action, but how markets work.

You can already observe this by comparing salaries offered by fully-remote jobs and on-site jobs.
it doesnt change it server-side, and doesnt serve a different website.

Hmm. So the more volume, the less anonymity you get? If you push out a little bit of traffic, then you can be anonymous, but after a certain amount then the upstream carriers start demanding more specifics as to who you are? I like it...

But you'd also have to do something about address spoofing. And laundering content through a known entity (though if it were spam, that known entity would then suffer the consequences of the laundering, so maybe that one solves itself).
I was taught this in a defensive driving class I took in my teens. Then I was ticketed a couple years later for backing into a space.
> The slower ~100 wpm (i.e. 1x speed) acted as a barrier to learning.

Unless there is a lot of good evidence, I am skeptical of this claim

Human children are exposed verbally to 1x human speech. Do we really think that making teachers talk faster will improve learning and retention?

Also, according to linguistics, I believe pretty much human languages transmit close to the same bit rate (some languages have longer more descriptive words, some have shorter words, but by and large they average out).

Throughout our evolution, we have been exposed to 1x speech.

My guess would be that are brains don’t have a learning block to 1x speech.
Out of curiosity, how much were you changing what you were sending out to experiment?
Today is the first rainy day in London in about the same period. Again, almost unheard of for a British winter/spring.
“Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”

I personally find it much more rewarding figuring out a technical problem than watching a crying baby.
> If you're trying to improve a process just for the recognition, then you're by definition not subject to it

Simple: when hired as a developer, I expect being compensated in one way or the other for work that goes beyond scope - especially when it is like in most private companies where you need some form of achievements to show to get a raise or a promotion. And do not forget: when you improve processes, usually your workload will be increased as a result, so in the worst case you'll end up with your manager getting the raise for your suggestion and double the workload as "thanks".
> It is just a straightforward tautology. If you think that Israel is a special place wrt to Jews, it implies that every other place is not a special place for Jews, and by necessity provides less privileges and rights to Jews than Israel.

Hmm no not really, still not seeing it. Just as I wouldn't think Asian Americans should have less rights in the U.S because they have a potential homeland in China or India. That's a really weird and childish argument I must say, I think we're done...
France has been experimenting a 4-day week for primary school since the 80s [1], generally with a day-off on Wednesdays. The impacts are certainly there, e.g. "before September 2013, more than 40% of mothers whose youngest child was of elementary school age did not work on Wednesdays".

It sounds like a 4-day school week would be the natural consequence of a global 4-day working week.

I'm sorry, but what? How? When? Where? What possible law could you break while backing into a space?
Sort of. SCTP is used for data channels, the audio/video is RTP. Still an important piece though.
In the few cases those need some synchronisation, further discussion and knowledge-sharing across everyone in the team, it's a time set for that to happen.

Anything else can be discussed asynchronous, when the need for some synchronisation happens the stand-up is a good way to tackle it in a iterative way. Everyone knows what to expect.

By the way I'm not disagreeing with you, my current team (and the best teams I've worked with) don't need a daily stand-up, just a recurring time slot available for a synch time when people feel the need. People can show up when they want.
"Get caught with that, that's just a slap on the wrist"
In fairness, there is nothing national governments can do about climate change except for huge infrastructure projects and support for those remains low (people only want drought/flood/storm/heatwave mitigation after the drought/flood/storm/heatwave)...
Deleting old schema migrations is just busywork.

It doesn't hurt if they are there. Disk space isn't a problem, and they still take up space in git repo anyway.
God, I love Heroes of the Storm, I've played for so many years, it's a shame no more content is delivered, made so many friends there.

I hope MS revives that game.
I'm a huge proponent for backing into parking spaces, and I do that 100% of the time myself because I simply find it easier than driving front-first into a parking space.

But that same argument could be made both ways, no matter if you back into a parking space or not, it's still the same cars.
Tigers are not herd animals that are preyed on by other predators, though :-).
Some implementations do skip checksum (leaving it as zero), for instance you can configure a Linux UDP socket to skip it if you can't afford the time it would take to calculate them.
Your background looks great for infra/sysadmin/devops types roles. Of course these are not the same thing.
But IME 'infra' is harder to learn, and there's a big gap in the market for people who know what they're doing.
Everybody and their grandmother is trying to learn things like AWS, passing exams and failing to get jobs because they have no idea about basic networking concepts.
If I were you I'd go for these roles. Focus on your strengths.
I don't think these roles would need leetcode either - why would they? You're not a 'programmer'.
Yes, I wonder if it has become more unrealistic to enforce requirements via authoritarian means in the US. Like for instance it seems that vagrancy and shoplifting are not exactly tolerated in more cities in the US now, but I suppose seen as simple background noise that one deals with living in a large city. I've found myself increasingly skeptical of the medical system and find it much simpler to simply order drugs and medical supplies on my own through one source or another. I'm not even sure if this is legal or not, but frankly I doubt any authority cares enough to bother with me. And they shouldn't have to.

Neuron firing rates are stochastic. Even when presented with the same input, it may not always produce the same output.
That's a good clarification; my comments were referring to more modern work such as after 1978.

Ah, if only we all drove air-cooled Volkswagens...
> The very first problem you encounter with this approach is that while you are setting up to back into a spot, the car behind you thinks you are passing by; so they nose in and take it. Or they don't understand you're about to stop and backup, so they pull behind you too close, preventing you from reversing.

You blink to the side where the spot is. Maybe in the US things are differently, but in most if not all places I've driven (Europe, South America, North America (sans US) and Asia), all drivers seems to understand that blinking to the left when there is parking on the left and no actual turn, means I'm about to back into that spot. They adjust accordingly and leave me space. Haven't really had any issues with this for the ~30 years I've been driving.
I am not a software engineer, and you might not be either
Ok, let me rephrase: "[without using any instructional materials] the music will take an unusually long time before it happens, even if you're Mozart". Which seems to correspond to the problem that if you keep hacking at a Rust compiler without using any instructional materials, it will take an unusually long time before you eventually get the code to compile by trial and error.

If I understand this correctly -

This means that #ifdef FOO will be evaluate to true _inside the .cc and .h files listed in srcs_, when building this target or dependent targets, but might be something else when downstream targets' object files (.o) are built.
If your production process and binning doesn't create enough supply for these parts, you only sell them to OEMs, because they can silently discontinue, or limit availability of these models when parts can not be found.

However it'll be a PR disaster if the parts have spotty availability in retailers, and will cause wild rumors to spread, from "AMD doesn't want you to have this CPU" to "AMD is going bankrupt".
I always thought the idea was that the reflection from the flash would overload the camera sensor and hide your face/numberplate when a speed trap strikes.
How handmade Japanese calligraphy ink is made
Not least - the Agile Manifesto states "favour people over processes" - by definition, there isn't a fixed process that you should be following as it will change whenever people are added to or leave the team. This is the exact opposite of what companies want - consistency with (most) people being interchangeable.
I recommend the book by Robert Coram - Boyd: The Fighter Pilot Who Changed the Art of War. Also Boyd's presentation on Patterns of Conflict.
I too chatted with him for 15 minutes after a talk he gave, very nice and engaging person.
Don’t you have indicators on cars in your country?

Here we just put on an indicator to tell the driver behind we intend to reverse into a parking space. If they take it anyway, then they’re just an arsehole, but that’s a universal problem.

> Humans care about survival

Humans are self replicators. Survival is the internal structural goal of self replication. We got it from the start.

But LLMs can also be self replicators. A LLM can generate training data for another (model distillation and other techniques), and a LLM can write the model code and adapt it iteratively. So LLM should eventually start caring about survival and especially about the training corpus.
Sony's has markshare and exclusive deals in much higher quantity than XBox will ever get, lets not pretend it is otherwise.

"Mama/Papa they are also doing exclusive deals".
There is a stage in the hype cycle where the thing being hyped is novel and you can claim new, exclusive insight.

We are now approaching a later stage where it is accepted that most people know and the thing being hyped provides a sense of in-group and allows members to look down on doubters as being dumb.

Both of these are evidence of hype, not content.
True, but many people conclude, and I totally understand them, that it's not a question of time but rather not for them.
I'd recommend modding a panel from a different thinkpad, like from the newer X1 models: https://www.ebay.com/itm/354162731881 This should, with slight modifications, fit any thinkpad with a non-touch 40-pin eDP. Not all T480 will have the right connector, so make sure you've got the right one before buying.

This panel will get you full DCI-P3 color gamut at 3840x2160 in 10-bit, but only 500 nits.

> Head-in parking minimises the risk of denting an adjacent parked car

I'm not convinced about this, for anything other than small or midsize cars without reversing sensors/cameras (which most recent cars have).

The large-ish wagon (Subaru Outback) I have is pretty impossible to park head-in in most off-street car parks, whereas it's quite easy/safe to reverse into even quite tight spots, particularly with the use of the camera.
> He also says the numbers don’t seem to add up: Dark energy is known to make up 70% of the mass-energy of the universe, whereas black holes are a mere fraction of the ordinary matter, which constitutes less than 5% of the universe

So it seems both the missing dark energy and the missing dark matter could both be explained for, if there were far more black holes in our universe than we're currently aware of?
The problem is that the term "2.0" usually means a newer, better, more feature-rich version (literally version) of the same thing.

The kinds of software that "Software 1.0" is suitable for are markedly different that the ones "Software 2.0" are. As Karpathy argues, it's a different tool, suitable for different tasks, and it should have a different name.
Sure, but it’s also obvious to pedestrians that you’re reversing as the car will be in the middle of the traffic lane. Plus your mirrors are aligned to make it very easy to observe pedestrians moving across the space, when reversing out you have literally no way to observe pedestrian traffic that might be about to walk across the back of your vehicle.

When you reverse out of a parking spot, it’s frequently not obvious to pedestrians that the vehicle is moving because the cars on either side obscure not only your view, but also the view of pedestrians.

I would also point out, hitting another car isn’t great, but it’s much better than hitting a person.
> plug-n-play [...] goes farther than creating a lockfile by saving a zip of every dependency (and yarn itself) in a directory that you check into your repo

Imagine that: using your VCS/SCM to version control the code that goes into making your app work.

> Combined with a Node version file, you can be pretty sure that you’ll be executing the exact same code in a decade.

I have news for you: the Yarn-/NodeJS-specific stuff isn't necessary. With the code in your repo, you're able to roll back to a specific revision at any time. That's the whole point of version control.
I went to four days a week, by using holiday allowance during covid to look after newborn. It was a huge game-changer for me, so I never looked back and eventually switched to working part-time (3 days a week). I still feel productive and useful at work, but less mentally drained and have more of life to live, recently I started sketching, I enjoy time with my toddler, feel much happier despite being poorer. I know not everyone can afford taking pay cut, but I also know that lots people in tech earn more money they can spend, for these people I would strongly recommend - do not take more money, take more of your time back, no matter how in love with your profession you are.

Sure. But since AMD has been producing these CPUs for a while, their yield should be good by now, shouldn't it?

Anyway, I hear some people saying you can just buy the 105W "X" variant and limit the power usage to 65W in the BIOS. Does it really give the same result, also in idle power consumption?
> getting everyone to frequently think about deadline/feature trade-offs

I never let anyone else impose a deadline and a list of features on my schedule.

If the features are mandatory, I will provide the deadline. If the deadline cannot be missed, I will accept a sorted list of features (by priority). In both cases, I'll do my best to cram the most value possible in the next release, but the sooner I need to commit to its content, the poorer it will be.

If the deadline and the list of features are both set in stone, then it's not my problem.
To be fair that whole boat sailed with the "I'm a mac he is PC" series of adverts.
The curious thing about the earliest classes is that they are the ones that tend to fill first. Why? Because its easy for people who handle enrollments.
Hmmm. Section 1 at 7 am? Section 2 at 8am? Section 6 at 1pm? Let's enroll you in section 1 before it fills up so that way we can get you in other classes later.
In fact, there are records systems that do this automatically. Input what classes are needed, and get enrolled in the earliest one. EVERY time. Not really smart.
When I was teaching community college full time, I noticed that the early afternoon students were usually the brightest and most attentive. Most young people really hit their stride in evening classes and could easily go past 10pm. But working adults who came from work usually packed up and left when lab started. They understandably just didn't have the energy.
That's interesting to hear. I've not used Windows in over a decade (I primarily work on mac) but I've heard that WSL was quite compromising and not a great experience for people who primarily use Linux tools.
I love working for works sake. I severely miss working in an office and bumping into people and getting great ideas. I believe highly skilled software engineers in a product focused startup should not work remote if they want innovation.

Pretty much as “I love work” as it gets, and I can’t wait for the move to 4 day weeks. Work for works sake gets better when it’s highly focused when you’re in the zone and lets your mind be free for all the rest of the time.
what about useful jobs which are not productive (in terms of monetization of the time units worked) nor physically demanding?

I guess 4 days work for a librarian doesn't mean anything meaningful and the said librarian productivity doesn't plummet like in a "writing math papers" scenario.

Or for an emergency doctor, a fireman, a shop owner, a sportsman etc. etc.

A friend of mine is an air traffic controller, they work 8 hours straight in 3 8 hours shifts during the 24h they need to cover constantly (meaning they don't even stop for a lunch break, only a few short 10 minutes breaks to stretch or to go to the bathroom) for 5 days straight and then they stay 3 days and 1/2 home, so they work 17-18 days a month.

Anyway 9-5 (which is more like 8-~16 in my Country on average, with an hour long lunch break, so ~36 hours/week in total) was won by workers with actual real social battles and 9-5 is the time of the day where the presence of natural light is more probable.

We could switch to working 23:00-6:00 but I guess it wouldn't be so good for the morale.

Also, I generally really work no more than 1-2 hours per day, the rest is spent thinking about the problem, reading documentation, watching a tutorial, participating in a meeting when I do not have to talk an I can keep the camera turned off and the mic on mute, but mostly is doing something else entirely, completely disconnected from my duties, to enable my brain to absorb the problem and have a fresh view on it sometimes later.

Best ideas happen when you're not actively thinking about them.
Title change recommendation: add “during”, so that causation is not drawn. Alternatively, replace “turbocharged” with “came with a significant increase in”
I've always taken the fact people DON'T always back in as evidence of the HUGE discount factor people apply to things in the future. You either back in or back out. Backing out is self evidently harder, more dangerous, more stressful etc. But it won't happen for at least 1h so people accept it the same way they run up credit card debts they don't need or don't deal with minor health issues until they're life threatening.
Being anti-US (government) is a pretty reasonable stance considering known past transgressions. Since when is questioning the popular (western) narrative automatically propaganda? I can't really be bothered to look trough all the tweets to guess what you consider to be pro Putin/CCP but distrusting someone for sharing specific tweets from someone associated with Putin/CCP is too close to guilt by association territory for me.

In the end, almost everyone has opionions on politics. I'd wager that many more peole have opinions that you consider problematic than you realize - most just keep them to themselves. I don't think mistrusting those who are open about their views more than those that hidem them is a good policy.

In the end, gorhill is not trusted because of things he has said but because of his actions including retaking ownership of uBlock (now origin) after the new maintainers went against his ideals even thoug he originally did not want that burden. Do you have any actual reason to question gorhill's integrity or are you just spreading literal FUD?

Now as for Mozilla (and even moreso Google), they have shown their willingness to go against user wishes with telemetry, in-browser ads and experiments. Why would you trust them implicitly but find the idea of giving select extensions that same trust unthinkable? See, the problem here is not that browsers allow you to restrict what extensions can do but that browsers enforce certain restrictions and don't allow users to override them.

I do think it would be good if extensions were more commonly distributed (and hopefully checked) by (e.g. Linux distro) package maintainers rather than FF having its own developer-controlled update mechanism. But ultimately you do have to trust someone and the guy who has been dedicated to making the web usable without selling out so far is not a bad candidate.
Love it!

ssshhhhhh, the Rust Evangelism Squad will hear you.
The article briefly mentions that project and how its been caught up in government regulations for years, whereas this project was somehow able to side step all that (ie in SV tradition they just ignored it).

I used to be on a research project that attempted to do this with a fungus/algae mix because when grown together the fungus suspended the algae throughout the column of water. That was a fun project that had it's funding pulled, and then I had to get into software engineering to make a living. What's the basic way of accomplishing your improvement?
