That's certainly a way that our industry might mature (and it will need to mature eventually), but a guild becomes its own political organization with issues of corruption, bureaucracy, inaccessibility, inequity, etc that compete against quality of craft. It does ensure some stability in quality, but makes it much harder to break into the craft, much hard to approach the craft in different ways, favors artisans who can "play the right game and know the right people", and loses some efficiency to all the political overhead.

We might be close to developing that model, or we might not. I personally don't know that we need to rush there. I'm of the auto-didactic hustler crop of hacker/engineers and many of us wouldn't have fared well if there was already a strong guild culture as we were coming up. I'm not sure I'm ready to start building that wall behind me yet.
It maybe says that laws are too strict, since they can’t apply in “sticky but necessary” situations, so maybe we should delegislate down to the baseline level of QI.

Your point is that central planning was a failure.

That's mostly orthogonal to the regime, even if it's easier to do with a totalitarian system. We could imagine central planning with a democratic system, one could even argue that we have bits and pieces of central planning in most of our governments, especially in agriculture and fields that make no money but are critical to a nation.
Rust faster compile time? Faster than what? The terrible compile time is a big reason why I avoid rust for game dev.
that's a very shortsighted way of looking at it.

assume you are unhappy with this situation and you decide to f off. who is more likely to find a new job (especially in this economy) ? top performers or low performers?

as a company this virtually guarantees that most resignations will come from top performers. I give it 2-3 weeks before they walk this back and/or maybe go to 1-2 days per week.
I think the question the court was trying to answer was "did he act negligently?". If he did, he's responsible for the result. That he didn't bring a first aid kit is further evidence that he wasn't prepared for the hike, so I think it's relevant.

Google is still loads better than eg Amazon but its days are numbered. I’ve heard msft wlb is improving a lot.

I think the next gen of employee- first companies will be wfh centric (or something new and flexible) and 4 day work weeks. People realized slides and food wasn’t as good as free time and flexibility. I expect maxing their employees 401ks and generous cultural WLB.

Companies that are advancing technology and gaining a rep as tech first? Look at blog posts that gain lots of traction here: Fly.io, Cloudflare, and many others. etc. Avoid anything too trendy ( AI, blockchain) because they might not last the hype cycles.
One can buy LEDs (actual LEDs as opposed to light bulbs with LEDs in them) without a blue peak. For example:

Digikey carries them, and they’re not terribly expensive. They’re a bit less efficient than the normal 90 CRI versions.

One downside: you get to build your own light fixture! But it will be a really nice one. :)

It's way worse than that. Qualified immunity arose out of Pierson v. Ray:

> The case refers to the incident in Jackson, Mississippi where 15 Episcopal priests were arrested after entering the coffee shop at the local Trailways bus terminal. The group were part of 28 priests from Episcopal Society for Cultural and Racial Unity, ...

> On September 13, 1961, a group of 15 including three black priests took taxis from Tougaloo into the nearby Jackson Trailways bus terminal to catch the bus to Chattanooga. When entering the coffee shop to have lunch before their departure, they were stopped by two policemen, Officers David Allison Nichols and Joseph David Griffith, who asked them to leave. After the priests refused to leave, Captain J. L. Ray arrested and jailed all 15 priests for breach of peace, using a now-repealed section of the Mississippi code § 2087.5 that "makes guilty of a misdemeanor anyone who congregates with others in a public place under circumstances such that a breach of the peace may be occasioned thereby, and refuses to move on when ordered to do so by a police officer."

> The group included 35-year-old Reverend Robert L. Pierson, who was son-in-law to the Republican Governor of New York, Nelson Rockefeller. They were brought to trial before the local judge James Spencer who found them guilty of breach of peace and sentenced them to four months in jail and $200 fine.

> Represented by Carl Rachlin, the chief legal counsel at Congress of Racial Equality, they sought damages in the Jackson district court before Judge Sidney Mize, alleging the police and the local judge had violated Title 42, Section 1983 of the 1871 Ku Klux Klan Act by false arrest and imprisonment for exercising their civil rights. However, the jury found in favor of the police who said they were trying to prevent imminent violence from a gathered crowd, contradicting the evidence of the priests.

> On appeal, the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit found that the local judge was immune from liability for his decision. Although the appeal court found the Mississippi code unconstitutional, it found that "Mississippi law does not require police officers to predict at their peril which state laws are constitutional and which are not."

There is one: dependent care tax credit. Admittedly, it's not much, with a max of 3K per child (total max 6k), less if you make more money. There's also the regular child tax credit of 2K per child.
yes. a great idea if you want people to work just hard enough to not be fired while they are looking for their next gig.
Before Starlink, buying anything even remotely comparable like VSAT was $10,000-20,000 per month.

The idea that you would punish a company for reducing the cost, and improving the performance of a technology an order of magnitude seems kind of ridiculous to me. If this attitude is really widespread throughout the world it’s no surprise why the US takes such a lead in tech innovation.
I don't mean to dismiss your trust here, but this attitude is simply denial.
Libertarians are neither conservatives nor liberals, so I don't see how that affects the conservative/liberal dichotomy.
Perhaps that is the compromise, but that also feels like an oversimplification of the challenge, and I'm happy with the in-game results.
> We don't know scientifically. Expect to find out in two decades, when its too late for you to do anything about it!

The alternative is for humanity to introduce layers of bureaucracy and regulation for all new technology to prevent them from being used until it's been proven to be safe across decades of use. This is both impractical and inefficient (we might focus research on speculative tech nobody ends up caring about, new tech is often prohibitively expensive until it's mass produced, etc).
Hi all. I would like to share a software/script developed in python (a little known application).

The essence of this software is to automate participation on a site like SteamGift (I think a lot of people have heard of it).

So the essence of the work is to use cookie PHPSESSID, through which produced parser on the site and the adoption of participation in giveaways. Bot works only if the script or *.exe attached to the repository is running.

If you are interested, I suggest you go to the link and get acquainted with this application. Thank you for your precious time, have a nice day

A lot of it is just that clarity is much, much harder to measure than word count or even vocabulary usage. The system almost can't avoid incentivizing what can be measured, and is almost incapable of incentivizing clarity (consider the task of grading 40 papers over the course of a few days and see if you still think it's reasonable to expect otherwise. And honestly, it's true that students need to prove their ability to write long pieces, and it's, again, hard to measure whether the student is covering enough ground to cover the length you want to see. You get what you measure, and what you can't measure is very hard to get (absent relatively intensive personal attention, hard to scale). I don't know a solution.
I'm very sorry to hear this happened to you. I'm hopeful Upwork will reverse their position or you'll manage to find a better alternative :)

All I’m saying is that nothing about crypto will increase that violence. If anything it will decrease it. Bank debit cards don’t have decoy designs or distress codes. Programable private money with heavy competition will bring solutions to this problem not make it worse.

The idea that crypto currency is flawed and violence will be used by criminals to seize wallets is absurd and that the existing legacy financial system has better solutions! seriously what world are these commentators living in.
At least they are hashing and not storing encrypted passwords.
But even a baby framework with may be 10s of deployments have switched to bcrypt, etc. Im not sure why they're boasting about SHA512. But I am a little lost on the RFC thing. Could you enlighten me. I thought they were standard ports for legacy,TLS, and SSL ports.

>In fact in all these cases there doesn't have to be a victim present. The word incitement in the Canadian definition is inciting the aggressors to violence, not the targets.

From this description, I'm struggling to see the difference between "hate speech" laws and laws against inciting crime (eg. imminent lawless action standard in US law). Is your claim that the standards for the two should be the same?
I am apparently entirely too nerdy for this. Not a single interesting article. It’s like Reddit but without the occasional worthwhile, or relevant to my interests, article showing up. I have a lot more luck on mastodon these days.
Corruption, an incompetent civil service stuffed with political appointees, terrible education system, open borders (sorry, but it's a fact....you can't have huge unemployment and open borders with large numbers of undocumented people who are willing to work with no protections and below minimum wage - as per the article ), constrained electricity supply and constrained infrastructure due to a neoliberal obsession with paying down debt in the 1990-2004 period, instead of investing.

ballysternos is a really neat arduino project that sits on the debug header of old bally and stern mpu boards. the arduino holds the 6800 in halt from the start and re-implements game code

i've seen at least two of these in the wild, one in a Bally Eight Ball running "Eight Ball Plus" code, and another in a Stern Meteor running "Meteor 2021". both add some neat super-features and game modes, the Meteor has an accompanying wav trigger board, speakers, and amp to add wav sound effects as well -- anyone who loves Meteor will appreciate (or hate) that it no longer screams your spinner value in a high pitched tones.
Qualified immunity means that police officers violating someone's first ammendment rights can not be sued for that violation. The police department may still be liable, but not the individual officers. A state or federal prosecutor may be able to pursue criminal actions against the officers, but they usually choose not to.
I’m not convinced it offers better cogs actually. You can do line speed on CPU with DPDK these days and even relatively beefy CPUs are probably cheaper than a specialized hardware like a xilinx card.

It doesn’t matter. The legislator is sold on this, it’s required by law, nobody cared what we think. Number of accidents goes down annually and nobody cares that edge cases like you or me are pissed off that we’re no longer in control. Because, you see, apparently driving a car is a privilege and not a right.
Amdahl's law always resonated for me for this reason: you only gain speedup equal to the portion of the total work that can be accelerated.

From that perspective, speedup is less about hyperefficient design of a brand new thing, and more about recognizing large portions of existing workload that are amenable to acceleration.

More successful accelerators have been borne from the latter approach (superscalar/hyperthreading, GPUs once OpenGL/DirectX dominated, fixed function video decode hardware) than the former (Itanium/VLIW)*.

Or in simpler form, never start a value proposition with "First, rewrite all your software..."

* ML is an odd duck, as it's somewhat co-evolving with its own accelerators?
Wokay, I stand corrected on that.
Yeah, but for some reason tech people seem to think they're the only cogs that matter.

They really thought companies were going to move heaven and earth just to make their personal comfort and convenience a priority.
I do hope WebKit gets more of this attention, if only for projects like Midori. I don't want to see the browser space get monopolized, for many of the reasons that this article touches on.
The original iPod was a Mac-only device. Anyone who bought it expecting it to work on their Windows computer, whether it was brand new or Pentium 120-vintage, would've quickly discovered the incompatibility and returned it to the store. Moreover, the initial price for a first gen iPod was $399 ($672 US in 2023 money). Not something I would expect to be affordable to a person struggling along with a 6-year-old computer (Pentium 120 came out in 1995).

For a device that only played music and only worked with FireWire-equipped Macs, the original iPod was not an "everyone" device, it was a luxury product for music enthusiasts.
This is amazing! Leaving a comment to remember to come back to it later.

Has it? From COM to C++/WinRT, I think Windows is moving further and further away from simple POSIX calls. Of course these platforms have mainly been designed to be used by other languages (VBScript to PowerShell) but if you want to use newer APIs in your C++ application, you're going to need to go through the new API.

Bolting Linux in a thin VM onto the OS has been done to facilitate web/POSIX devs that otherwise would buy a Mac or install Linux. It's a more modern take on bolting Windows Services for UNIX onto NT4 back in '99. The API of the Windows platform itself has only moved further and further away from POSIX as time went on.
Sounds like you are agreeing with GP? I believe GP was claiming that the court's position is there is a right to free speech, but not an ability to defend one's right to free speech in court (at least in this case), which renders the right to free speech meaningless, so the court's position is contradictory.
I understand this sentiment as obsessing over tools can really wreck your productivity. However the pipeline of "incredible ML breakthrough/idea" to open source package is strikingly fast. To that end, the tools often end up unlocking things that were completely blocked or very difficult beforehand.

"In March 2016, Novak set up a Facebook page that purported to be that of the Parma Police Department."

Honestly why does anyone think this is not wrong?

Here is a link to some of his posts [1]

The guy was straight up impersonating the Parma Police - he used their branding/badge and started posting 'as them'.

There are some trying to defend that as justifiable because some forms of comedy require that the comedian be 'in character' and not overtly flag it as parody from the start, but I suggest this is a very bad argument - especially when people could confuse the target as 'real' - and imperatively when we're dealing with Emergency Services.

There is a 100% chance that some members of the community would have inferred this to be a 'real' account, there's hardly a reason to believe otherwise. The headlines were a bit nutty, but not entirely unbelievable to the point the parody was clear.

There is no reasonable argument he could make as a 'comedian' that he couldn't just put 'parody/satire' on the logo, and, there's every reason to believe that people would have confused it as real.

He's literally using Police Badges!

What would happen if he 'parodied' actual police officers, with a real uniform, but as a joke wore a 'red nose'. Would that be sufficient for people to be sure he was not a real police officer?

Would it be legal to use Amazon's brand/logo and misrepresent yourself as them?

I'm a bit disturbed by all of the people arguing this man was maligned, I suggest this is upside down and that it's irrational that someone should be able arbitrarily impersonate Emergency Services and the justice system and then just hide under the 'I'm a comedian' moniker.

I'll bet $100 the Police found out about it because they were getting calls around the confusion.

Nobody confuses 'Bush/Obama' impersonators as the real thing, the parody is implied, and those parodies are not creating a disruption. Nobody confuses 'Reno 911' as 'real' police officers.

I'm sure he didn't realize the extent of possible disruption and I would hope that he doesn't get some kind of record for this, but I do suggest he committed a crime and at very least this should not be allowed.

And can't fathom how people could think this ok to do.

The Supreme Kangaroo Court has been a farce ever since it voted 5-4 to halt the Florida vote count in the 2000 election on partisan political grounds. The justices appointed by GW Bush aren't even qualified as their appointer was selected by a conservative court majority that violated every conservative court view on state's rights in history.

The American political and judicial system has become little more than a bad joke, worthy of nothing more than contempt and ridicule. The only certainty is that it will always come down on the side of monopolistic corporate entities, and of their armed goons.
No system is stable forever. We get things like the Reformation and the 30 Years War when imbalances occur. I was not intending to convey a belief that totalitarian regimes can’t last for a long time. Rather I was indicating a belief that what we have are the beginnings of an imbalance in the system and that something must give. That give could be Americans accepting that the notion “we are the freest country in the world” is wrong and being ok with that.

This is covered by Huberman. Our night vision is ~3x more sensitive to blue light than red, probably because starlight has more blue. Blue light is ~2.5 worse for keeping us up but would actually be better if turned it way down like the 3x implies we can.

At normal levels the 3x gets lost in the exponential to much light we get at night.

The word monopoly doesn’t mean “Only one company makes the best product”. It means that a company completely corners a market and uses its position to prevent others from competing.

There are plenty of space launch providers. There are plenty of other constellations (OneWeb, Iridium, etc). In fact, ironically, SpaceX is doing the opposite of what a monopoly would do and selling the competition cheap tickets on their own launch vehicles. It would be the equivalent of Apple letting Samsung sell phones in an Apple Store.
