> I'm confused why this is the top comment - how exactly can you be "one of the top performers" at your company while also "focusing on doing the least amount of work you can get away with"??

I've been at a few companies where the "top performers" were doing the least amount of work they could get away with. It was a combination of two things:

1) Extreme politicking. They were charismatic, charming, and connected within the company. They were in all the right meetings to take credit for successes and shift blame for failures. They may have connections, like being long-time friends of the CEO, that made them untouchable and targets for flattery/praise from people hoping to climb the ladder. They always insisted that they didn't participate in politics, but then they'd go on to describe something like manipulating the system so they could get the easy, high-profile work and sticking others with the grunt work. Nobody likes to think that they play politics themselves, but that's what it is.

2) Gaming the system. They knew, or even created, the hidden metrics that were used to evaluate employee productivity. For example, one person was busy chatting in Slack every day with short one-line messages. He created a dashboard of Slack activity that ranked employees (where he was always on top by a wide margin) and encouraged his team to be very active in Slack, while the rest of us had no idea. At another company we were secretly evaluated by lines of code committed, so of course the "top performer" was always committing a lot of generated code and constantly "refactoring" other people's code by moving it around to increase their Git activity.

It's a massive red flag when you're at a company and can visibly see that the "top performers" are avoiding work and playing games. It means you can never get ahead by working. This creates a cynical worldview (much like the parent comment) that work isn't about work, it's about gaming the system and extracting cash from the company while minimizing your work. It's really cynical cycle that puts people in a bad position when they leave for well-run companies where good work is actually rewarded.

Don't get stuck in that mindset, because it's tough for some people to escape. If you're at a company where the rewards go to people who game the system while those who work are languishing, you should start searching for a new job.
That's my point - all these things get labeled as tech debt. Sounds like we're agreeing
> It means dumbed down to the lowest common denominator.

It literally doesn't though. Like, that's not the meaning of the word "commercial" in any sense.

Your favorite indie band is commercial. Your friends who charge $5 for their shows are commercial.

Your issues aren't with "commercial" musicians, they're with musicians who prioritize commercial success over artistic expression.

I don't think is a new phenomenon, and actually think it's a lot less prevalent now than it was in the past. With free streaming services, most people have easy exposure to a much wider range of music, and aren't relying on the radio to dictate their tastes.

There have been dozens of albums from the last few years that have had huge commercial success, and also taken big artistic risks. Happy to provide a list of recommendations if you're having trouble finding good new music.
Hats off to the KDE team for a really great release cycle. I understand that there were some licensing issues with Qt in the back half, but Plasma 5.27 really pushed the Wayland session into excellence. It's unclear what Plasma 6 is going to look like, but they've got a damn fine launchpad with the current KWin Wayland session.
Wikipedia servers much heavier multimedia content around 20x more often (in page views), with a vastly highier write load.
It stops when one of the two iterators ends

It can't zip more than two per se, but you could zip the result of the first zip into a third and get ((item1, item2), item3). You could then map these if you wanted, to flatten them into a single tuple .map(|((item1, item2), item3)| (item1, item2, item3))

Of course there's a trade-off here between ergonomics and generality
>So it's always better to ask first, otherwise it's technically stealing.

This is textbook safe that is lacking in street smarts.

You can't ask because then you're pushing the responsibility of you being there onto someone else. They don't want some ambulance chasing lawyer to come bitching at them if you get hurt so they have to say no. But if you're discreet can just pretend that you're trespassing.

So just don't ask and know what is or isn't fair game.

Additionally, scrap of the mixed random stuff variety that is worth picking through is cents a pound. They won't care if you're not taking serious volume.
That's confusing, especially on the main page. Why not have a single search that includes multiple types of results, kind of like Spotify?
I've worked in companies that had everything on prem and cloud companies. There are many nice things about cloud, but reliability is not one of them. Everything is a lot simpler on prem and fails a lot less in my experience. The downside being that scaling is harder. And it can be more expensive, depending on your size.
Does AMD have a history of this blatant of a move? That would be an Nvidia level of arrogance.
Imagine thinking sleep deprivation doesn't exist in alternative economic structures...

"It required stopping giving a damn about career, success, and all that crap, and going and doing entirely my own thing."

So capitalism helped you. There are quite a few ism countries where 'doing your own thing' isn't an option.
In my experience, if you're going to use GLP-1 RA for weight loss, it needs to be part of a larger program of changes, including lifestyle changes. That you have to lead the charge on. The people that say losing weight on these means you gotta take it for the rest of your life, they're wrong. It eventually stops having that effect on you. It certainly makes the process of changing things a lot easier, and it buys you a lot of time to adopt those changes. But if you don't put in the mental work and reshape your lifestyle to this new body, you're going to have a bad time later regardless of if you're still on it or not.

I've taken various GLP-1 RA over a decade for glycemic management (I'm on Mounjaro now). They still work great for this. But I have to do the work to maintain my body, now.
you say that like its a bad thing ?
Seeing the performance of implementations like FlexGen [1], I don't think it would be entirely unreasonable to run a 13B model on a single GPU for personal usage purposes. You are not going to a run a public service out of it, but it probably would be good enough to run your own ChatGPT or Copilot locally.

The leds are placed on the chest -- seems like a miss to not place them also around the hoodie near the face. I would suspect even without strobing the over saturation would work should those leds be surrounding the face.

All of that said, wearing something like this out (unless it becomes super commonplace lol) just screams watch me closely (and easily follow me back to some known origin).
There's always a relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1105/
Zig's "zip" is purely syntactical, where Python's zip is a generator. This is significant both in terms of performance (Zig wins) and flexibility (Python wins).

Unlike Python, you can't pass a zip generator around. It's just a for-loop. While zig loops are expressions, they only return a single value.

I tried both and ended up with WordPress of all things. I really don't blog and after a year without making a post I couldn't figure out my own Hugo site. I had also changed computers and my site wouldn't build anymore. I think Hugo is fantastic but probably best for regularly bloggers.
Depends on good scheduling choices since some threads benefit from the higher clocked CCD and others benefit from the higher cache CCD. Sounds like AMD is using a lookup table style scheduler on windows. I believe the system mostly schedules the higher clock CCD by default.

Similar problem to big.little but less differentiation between the cores. It's big.big. Kind of a mess outside of the primary use case that is games on windows with a static tuned scheduler.

Exactly. I ran into this when trying to set up Hugo, and wrote for myself a notes page with the following:

# What is Hugo?

`hugo` is a program that takes some .md files (ideally, conforming to a certain directory structure) and creates some .html and .xml files (conforming to another directory structure).

This is the minimal command:

# Create input directory structure to silence warnings
mkdir content layouts{,/tags,/categories}
touch layouts/home.html layouts/{categories,tags}/list.html
# Run hugo: creates public/ and resources/
hugo

…and building from there.

If you read the Hugo documentation, it talks about all kinds of stuff but doesn't explain anything from the bottom up: apparently the usual way is to start with a pre-existing theme or site as template and edit it, but that's not explained anywhere either. After you eventually learn exactly what Hugo is, it becomes ok to use.
A huge barrier to eliminating plastic use is making people aware of their plastic use. Prior to thinking about it and investigating, I was unaware of how many plastics I was using.

How many people think their clothing is plastic? They probably think it’s “some textile” and that’s all the thought they ever give it. How many people consider the plastic in their dishwasher or laundry pods, or in packaging? They’re all unconscious decisions that people make because they are using what corporations give them.

Also, related, reusable stuff is great and disposable stuff sucks. I always joke about wondering what the sales pitch was for disposable razors: “have you ever wished you had to replace your entire razor every time the blade dulled?” Not only is it wasteful but it simply makes no sense in many cases.
While a fair point it's in no way a counter argument to what the person above was saying. Having fewer outages is not the same as having no global outages.
"Run your code in a WASM sandbox" and then your C++ is way slower (and speed is the only reason you were using C++ in the first place)
Which of the two is it?
In my experience, it's multi-faceted. First, is the ease of integration. Native plants are, well, naturally better suited for your area. If you select a flower that grows natively in your area, it will be okay as long as you match the sun requirements. Second, they take less maintenance. Less water and little- to no-fertilizing, because they're already well suited to the climate and soil. Third, is that they are almost guaranteed not to be invasive. And finally, you don't have to worry about introducing anything toxic to the native fauna inadvertently. If it's toxic, they already do not eat it.

For me, it was that they are super easy to take care of, and thrive under conditions that would murder "standard" sorts of landscaping plants. I'm forgetful, and a watering schedule is just not an option for my poor, poor brain.
In this context I mean price. Nothing else.

Ask an economist or investor why the market goes up or down and you'll get many reasons, some may be right, some may be wrong.

Ask a trader why the market goes up or down and you'll get supply exceeded demand, or vice versa.

You can have a fun debate about everything the first two care about, but at the end of the day, only the price action will feed your family or improve/worsen your standard of living.

I’m finishing my bioinformatics-centric PhD and I really resonated with the author’s sentiments. Except in the case of the bioinformatics field, I feel like there’s too much data for any person to make sense out of. And if you do anything beyond a volcano plot, everybody’s eyes roll back into their head and they get bored and ask for their volcano plot or their special gene/protein/transcript of interest.

If you haven't already, you might enjoy learning about permaculture. This is a short and easily-accessibile introduction - two of its originators, David Holmgren and Su Dennett, talking about how they designed their house according to its principles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss1BjW2kSNs

The part of your comment which prompted the comparison was "... native plant species are easy. If you plant them in the right place, they will grow very easily and strongly with minimal care." This is one of the principles of permaculture - based on the land you have available (and it can be as small as a balcony off a flat) spend some time working our what works where based on your plot and plant that, rather than struggling to get something working where it doesn't belong.
> is offensive

You mean someone decided to take offense. It's literally equivalent to "Asian" in that it describes a geographic origin. And negro, as pointed out, was preferred by MLK himself, yet we're just supposed to believe it's offensive because that's what we're told.

What this is is a show of power, picking random words and deciding they're offensive, and making an example of anyone that doesn't dance to this tune.
How many people in this world just put their blinders on and distort new information to fit their preconceptions and biases? What do you think "low confidence" means in the context of an intelligence report? I tried finding out myself, and I mostly just found people like yourself pretending it means whatever they want it to.

I was surprised to find, at CNN, of all places, something that actually sounds credible: "https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/26/politics/covid-lab-leak-wuhan..."

"A low confidence assessment generally means that the information obtained is not reliable enough or is too fragmented to make a more definitive analytic judgment or that there is not enough information available to draw a more robust conclusion."

That's a far cry from "shitty theory".

I'm not a person who went from high functioning to struggling. I'm a person who went from no longer able to attend high school to ten years of being trapped at home by progressively debilitating fatigue.

I've tried hundreds of things over the years, but it's like playing whack-a-mole or trying to slay the mythical hydra. For every improvement I manage, I fail two. No matter what I do, it isn't enough. I can barely take basic care of myself, treatment is unachievable.

I fooled myself into thinking it'd get better when I started PAP, regularly working out. But it just wasn't enough to function. And then extreme post-meal fatigue hit, and everything has gone to shit.

At this point, I'm not even able to try psychologically. I've given up. It's over. Each of my problems has a realistic fix, but none are achievable for me. I can't even do my own groceries or prepare food half of the days.
Not really, not when the carbon-only team can throw things back over the wall to the legacy experts who promised proper interop. And that the new devs aren't even tempted to solve it on their own, which would inevitably happen if instead of carbon they'd try to achieve the same by sticking to some modern subset of c++. With carbon, the new generation who don't know better don't have to be painstakingly supervised to not use any bad subsets of those "~4 languages". Saving the man-hours that would otherwise be spent on arguing about the exact composition of that subset would likely be enough to make the switch worthwhile (yeah, I might be projecting, I'd get nothing done at all)

Unit tests might be exhaustive in 'lines of code covered' but never in 'possible inputs'.

That is, did you remember to check for null? Did you remember to write a test for floating points in languages that just have generic number types?

I don't see the value in relying on unit tests to enforce types.

It might be possible, but it relies on the programmer to:

1. Remember all of the types (was this an int? Or a float? Or a int | null union?

2. Implement exhaustive tests for each type

3. Remember to update the tests when something changes.

4. When reading code, if the types emitted are not specified, having to examine the unit tests to determine the type limits.

And the advantage of this is that it saves me a few keystrokes so i can write:

X = 5

Instead of

int X = 5

I think your comment highlights the issue's source, far more than your assertions about mine.
I will also say that getting your own labs done, even if you are footing the bill, is relatively cheap. You don't need to go to the doctor and have them refer you.

Check out ulta labs (obtuse, some learning curve) if you want to DIY, otherwise there's a couple services out there that make the learning curve shorter. One I see come up a bunch is Inside Tracker.

Health and fitness is a fun little side hobby that you can turn into a fairly intellectual exercise. Get hooked on Peter Attia's podcast, read a bunch of studies, get labs done, put together an exercise and nutrition plan and then get DXA scans to watch body composition change. It can easily replace other intellectual hobbies :)
Gait analysis is a more surveillable fingerprint anyway, since it can work with lower resolution cameras. Tag someone on a high res camera with facial recognition and as long as you've seen their gait once, you'll be able to identify them again.
What do you think is the good reason?
Keep the one you have now and pick a better GPU?
Gait analysis also works surprisingly well and I don't see how to make it less effective without damaging your body
I had an instructor once who advised younger folks who were not ready to buy land to spend some money on really good gardening tools.

I see you mentioned gardening. You can also get a plot in a community garden in some towns, or volunteer on a CSA farm, which gives you some food growing capacity (and grows your skills).

Not at all, I've got 2 models running free-of-charge on Oracle Cloud right now. Just playing with it locally is completely free, the hardest part is getting your Python environment to work. I wrote mine in Rust and even that isn't super complex. It mostly boils down to defining your settings and feeding it your prompt: https://github.com/guillaume-be/rust-bert/blob/master/exampl...

Training is more difficult, but this will be plenty for your purposes I think.
When I made one 8x2.5 high density raised bed on my stoop in Philly, I got: Birds, squirrels, butterflies, moths, wasps, caterpillars, praying mantis, aphids, worms, grubs, ants, ladybugs, bees, and more. I grew tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, basil, thyme, oregano, lavender, bee balm, broccoli, lettuce mix, and beans, and had ornamenral flowers to attract pollinators.

I'd set up a chair and just watch like it was the nature channel. Every time a bee would come visit, I would rejoice. The whole city melted away and I was plunged into a tiny living ecosystem. Absolutely the best investment I've ever made for my quality of life.
> not a class-II vapor retarder

No time to elaborate, but from what I've read about it, hempcrete houses were built in different environments, even on seashores, as the hemp will petrify and turn the lime back into stone, but keeping the good properties. I've yet to hear about problems with water vapor or about one where it's uncomfortable to live in. Hempcrete has superb insulation properties, it may easily be the best material for home construction.

Or boar hair ... and that's obviously not good either. Don't know what the best material is. But with using just the nylon brushes, and replacing the rest with wood, we'd save apx. 98% of the material.

> You must be unfamiliar with warehouse conditions

I'm not. But if you eat plant based only, that's maybe less worry than if we were talking about meat/cheese, I assume.

There were no individually packed deli/cheese cuts when I was young. The shops instead had a counter with a shop person preparing orders, packing them into waxed paper. I've seen some counters recently, so it's still practiced somewhere. And people buy it and live, even without plastic.
I've been waiting for an article like this. As a software developer I completely agree with them.

Often when I mention I use ChatGPT I get strange looks. Its like people automatically assume I am going to ChatGPT and saying "Build me a software that does x". I personally see no value in asking it something like that. Its the simple questions that save me 10-15 minutes of reading through google results. For example I often time ask it to rewrite statements into linq or to compare two ways of doing something. Its not correct 100% of the time but it is correct often enough to save me 10 minutes multiple times a day.
Couchbase's official account response on Twitter: (https://twitter.com/couchbase/status/1630245993001394176)

"We were also disappointed to pull out however our main Spanish speaking technical resource is very unwell making it impossible for us to attend. We will reach out again to discuss how we can work together, as this is not personal and we love what you do. Good luck with the event!"

This seems pretty naive in terms of DevRel. Seems like they view the sponsorship as a paid talk slot. Which of course can be fine and no one would be the wiser as long as you don't pull out if your speaker suddenly becomes unavailable.
