Basically all engineering job is kind of... pointless circa 2011 if you belong to working class. The novelty value of engineering is gone. We see where it's all going now. We won't enjoy the fruit we help grow. The protest of 1968 was right about everything. The boomer We're here to repeat the same mistake. Modernism and endless worship for overproduction. Overproduction of goods led humanity into two world wars and now we have overproduced information on top of all that. What's even going to happen? What's this all for if we can't stop the climate change anyway? But don't lose hope. Ai is the last hope sort of... or the worst thing.

Nintendo is a household name with a widly successful portable history and an insane amount of IP. The Switch was day one buy for a lot of people and it's on the road to become the best sold console of all time.

I don't understand how you can call a product that is one magnitude off it a niche product. Valve probably didn't dream of being this close.

You’re right, actually even the PS Vita sold more than 10 million which is better than I expected (It was a WiiU, not a Sega CD/Virtual Boy) . I’ll have to remember that in the future.

My comment was overly dramatic, I'd say. I was implicitly comparing KDE to Apple-level quality in UI.

I am using KDE on Wayland on Fedora, and so far it's the most polished Linux desktop experience I've ever had.

Maybe it's my experience with KDE4 that turned me off after KDE3, then tidal changes of stability in KDE5 that undermined my trust.
When Breath of the Wild 2 comes out, I'm definitely going to be playing it at launch on the system it was built for, rather than trying an initially buggy emulation experience for bragging rights.

This is actually the most important career advice for tech jobs.

First junior dev job it's not as important because you just need to find something. After that you will want to be very careful to make sure the job has actual business impact, otherwise you are likely to end up in some kind of bullshit vanity project that only has to appear to work.
Often, the job of a data team is not directly to produce value. It is to support value creation through observability.

Observability gives the business side intuition and knowledge about how the business works. The fact is, no one in the organization can get visibility at scale into their operations without a data team.

Now, I have argued before that data teams can and should also focus converting knowledge into action. This moves data teams out of a passive, reactive role into a proactive, value-creating role.
Great tips. But it seems like maybe you should remove the part where you suggest people intentionally buy, use, then return an air monitor.

It's one thing to buy something and return it because you are genuinely dissatisfied, but what you are suggesting is called wardrobing and is pretty unethical, and it incurs costs for retailers and manufacturers.

Also, it can be damaging to the environment if products are needlessly manufactured and disposed of. I don't think it's a good idea to suggest this kind of behavior.

Thank you for pointing this out! Happy to take a look and discuss what you're building! I agree with some of these tips, but I think it's best to report them privately to team@infisical.com. We can then see with our team if these points are correct. Otherwise, this goes against responsible practices of security notifications and sounds more like an ad for your project.
Aside from specialty shops, I'm not sure there's any great virtue in smaller markets, often with higher prices and less selection, other than there are probably more of them you can walk to if you live in a denser urban area. And my observation at least in the UK is that most of those smaller grocers are giant chains like Tesco and Sainsbury.

Mine mostly stays docked and is used for couch coop games with my kids. They absolutely loved "It Takes Two."

I have taken on trips and it works well. Battery life isn't great but it's good enough for a few hours of non-intense games (Slay the Spire is perfect for this).

I have had ocassional issues with external controllers. Adding in more than one sometimes fails in unpredictable ways. That is the only issue I've noticed.

> CHERI doesn't make much sense in Rust

CHERI was obviously designed for C and C++, but that doesn't mean it doesn't make sense to use with Rust. Capabilities are generally useful primitives, and allow you to do things like eliminate bounds checks because they are not handled by the hardware.

Provenance is kind of weird in that it is very underspecified and compilers have mostly been flying by "do whatever feels right" for many years, which has mostly worked until recently, when people decided to really sit down and hammer out proper rules for the things people expect to work. CHERI has accelerated those efforts because whatever gets picked for provenance is going to be implemented on that platform and they would like capabilities to line up with whatever they decide. In a sense, this is the opposite problem, where C decided to not really specify behavior at all and now needs to clean up its act, rather than overspecifying and being unable to adapt to new hardware. It's good that it's being cleaned up but mostly aligned with what people have already been doing.
Technical Debt is anything your boss doesn't like this week.
Solving this sort of thing is not about throwing more people at it. That would be brute force and not strategic. Instead, you want to architect systems like these in a way that strikes a good balance between resilience and things like cost/efficiency/etc.
OK, but how would I check for that?

I mean, how do I know if it's the bacon, the coffee, or the cheese, etc?
And to that I point to cars, devices that also have millions of lines of code (some luxury cars apparently have 100 million lines of code) that drive security and safety critical systems. They are also an amalgam of far far more parts and chips than any phone is.

But here’s the thing, the complexity isn’t even relevant, the thing that would make phones last for ages is just committing to some basic set of hardware interfaces. You can pull an ancient desktop out of your basement and run the latest Linux on it and you ought to be able to do that with phones too.
Try some simple games that are easy to pick up and play and don't have complex controls. Hollow Knight, Dead Cells, Broforce. The battery lasts long with them as well.
You can also use Elfeed to read hnrss in Emacs. Probably the more popular option.

All the examples in the blog post which mention tech debt actually do refer to the same sort of tech debt - something that people want to fix, change, implement, or add onto but have not, due to the march of time and business.

The differences that were mentioned to "types of tech debt" are similar to the parable of the blind men describing an elephant. [1]

A group of blind men heard that a strange animal, called
an elephant, had been brought to the town, but none of
them were aware of its shape and form. Out of curiosity,
they said: "We must inspect and know it by touch, of which
we are capable". So, they sought it out, and when they
found it they groped about it. The first person, whose
hand landed on the trunk, said, "This being is like a
thick snake". For another one whose hand reached its ear,
it seemed like a kind of fan. As for another person,
whose hand was upon its leg, said, the elephant is a
pillar like a tree-trunk. The blind man who placed his
hand upon its side said the elephant, "is a wall".
Another who felt its tail, described it as a rope. The
last felt its tusk, stating the elephant is that which
is hard, smooth and like a spear.

- "There's no explanation of this other than regulatory capture. Might want to look into how many people from the EPA Chevron has been hiring as consultants etc., or how much money Chevron has been giving to politicians who approve EPA heads, the hiring practices of EPA heads, and so on."

If you read down to the last paragraph, the EPA's Inspector General has an open investigation into this division of the EPA, on precisely those allegations ("whistleblowers’ allegations of corruption and industry influence").

They link to this investigative series from the Intercept,

I don’t think as an industry we’ve actually solved the problem and started to deliver on the potential of data yet.

Most companies are hacking around with messy stale data, excel sheets, dashboards and doing rudimentary analysis. This is essential level zero on the maturity scale, it’s like rubbing sticks together to try and spark a fire.

Nowadays we know what good looks like. Data engineering, online machine learning, collaborative analytics environments, embedded analytics, streaming etc. We just need to get there.

My impression however is that the people at end clients are a bit stuck in a local optima. They think ETL, data warehouses and dashboards when what they actually need a total rethink and change in approach.
ChatGPT's stable diffusion moment?
Where I live, rent rates are around that. He also said that he's sharing an apartment with a few other people... so he's probably not paying full rent.
Nokia G22 is a good budget phone. The SOC - Tiger 606 has two big and six small CPU cores, while most budget SOCs have eight small cores. Together with 4GB RAM makes for mostly lag free UI. 4GB/64GB is the minimal config to run comfortably recent versions of Android.

On top of that it comes with modern design, USB type C port, large battery (can easily last two days of moderate use) and fast charging (20W max).
Over here the grocery stores keep their trash behind lock and key; I wouldn't be surprised if it gets disposed of in a secure fashion.

Of course, on the other hand, they donate a lot of things to food banks as well. And before that it gets a discount sticker.

This practice got pretty bad in the UK though, with people lining up and waiting for someone to apply the stickers before buying products - harassing the staff and other customers in the process.
I have a Deck and an RG351V for comparison. The Deck ergos are fine but it's noticeably larger than a Switch which is already too big to just slip in a pocket like the Anbernic. I love the flexibility of being able to play PC and it can run up to lighter PS3 games which is way beyond the RG351 but I would probably want something smaller like an Ayn Odin for purely retro gaming.
The margins with the 64GB Steam Deck are likely razor thin

My family always hit the construction dumpsters. You can get a lot of decent pine lumber that gets tossed because it was cut wrong or stained with mud/ptty/etc. They throw a lot out because time is mor valuable to them then the wood. Even short end peices are useful for burning or turning into charcoal. Pretty rare that you get decent lengths for building though. Usually 6 feet and below are fairly common, with the rare 7-10 foot boards, and nigh unheard of 11+. And the builders are usually happy about it too, since they pay to have it emptied so everything you take is a bit less they have to pay, and no skin off their nose.

We have built a number of animal houses and even a few sheds around our land with the salvaged wood. Saved us a lot of money.
Moonlight only supports Xbox controllers or making a different controller (like a PS5 controller) appear to Windows to be an Xbox controller. You can't use a PS5 controller natively, instead windows sees the ps5 controller as an Xbox 360 controller.

Quibbles:

> Black holes by comparison are quite simple: describle with three quantities (mass, spin, electric charge).

For an actual black hole (vs. theoretical-in-a-vaccuum one), I believe 2 other number are required - to specify which way the spin axis points. [EDIT - still not right. 11 numbers are needed to cover everything; see my Wikipedia cite below.]

> We're talking 50-10 Solar masses converted to energy...

Obvious "50-10" typo. But beyond ~6 Solar masses total, at least one of the two object will have long-ago collapsed into a black hole.
Tunnel boring machines aren't that expensive per km. They are robotic worms that take a few dozen people to operate. If you do cut and cover you will end up with a similar problem to the tram system in Edinburgh where there were a lot of pipes and cables under the street that were uncharted and not as deep as everyone expected. Dealing with old pipes and cables is very delicate; it involves a lot of careful hand digging with shovels and picks and then careful propping to avoid damaging the old clay drain pipe / ancient electricity cable / iron gas main / water main etc. All of these can be lethal if they are damaged and they all have to be worked on by hand. Super expensive.
64gb will fill up with shader cache. But if you don't mind upgrading the SSD yourself, it's always an option down the road and is considerably cheaper than buying the higher end Decks. e.g. a 256gb 2230 m.2 is ~$20 where the 256gb model Deck is $100 more. Also, you can get 1tb and 2tb 2230 drives, which aren't an option for a factory configuration.

I'm actually not sure about that. I think the Javascript compiler target also lacks full TCO. The Idris 2 compiler itself I think does not perform this optimization, because the Scheme reference backend does it already. I might be wrong about that, but I remember several active unresolved discussions on this topic in the community last year. I haven't been involved actively in it for several months, so my memory might be wrong.

The goal since WW2 has been dominance, not just in Americas, but also in East Asia, Middle East, etc. China, on the other hand, has had the luxury to concentrate its efforts more strategically. To reduce military expenditure, the US would have to dial back the breadth and depth of reach. Giving up on Taiwan, and then letting Korea and Japan fend for themselves against China would probably also be needed if it were to cut back on its ambitions. Nuclear proliferation would be an immediate outcome.

I'm at least somewhat skeptical. The face of the last data warehousing fad in the 90s was around things like optimizing retail through things like putting diapers and beer [1] close together. But pretty much, even when there was some correlation, stores never did much about it.

> LLaMA is creating a lot of excitement because it is smaller than GPT-3 but has better performance. For example, LLaMA's 13B architecture outperforms GPT-3 despite being 10 times smaller.

Exactly. Best part is that it is open-source.

That is worth getting excited about. Not a AI SaaS API owned by a so-called pseudo-non profit company which struggles on API uptime and availablity, just like GitHub.

This is the 'revolution' you are looking for that changes everything. Not ChatGPT.
See my sibling comment.

Repeated stress of right intensity makes bones, joints and tendons stronger. Avoiding all stress is a bad advice I have heard many times in my life I am sick and tired of it. It is the stress that causes the body to need to recover and it is during recovery that it becomes stronger.

The only really important thing to remember is that the right intensity is crucial and that it is very easy to suddenly overload a part of your body you have never even been aware of. Even a slight change in technique caused by something like different shoes or an aching toe can shift forces to places that are not ready yet and cause an injury.

That's why good running technique is crucial -- because it is nothing else as a discipline to put your body through predictable motions in response to predictable loads. If you can do it you can now make sure your loads don't change too much over time and you should be relatively safe from injuries.

Lots of injuries are caused by people running for longer duration but slipping with their technique because, for example, their core muscles get fatigued through the run. And this shifts loads to new places and causes things to get overloaded.
McKinsey doesn't get brought in on the basis of their competence even though it's of course part of the image they project. If you want to go with quality work you'll have to buy your way through because the upper management doesn't have a clue about tech and you will not be able to justify your higher rates if you're a nobody.
Developer Productivity for Humans, Part 2: Hybrid Productivity [pdf]
An interesting question is why you think the military is good when domestic services are bad. Could it be that domestic services are intentionally strangled, the military is used to pry open new markets from weaker countries, and private business benefits and fails to share the bounty with neither (poor) Americans nor with the subject foreigners?
Not to mention the existing debt problem. Just the interest alone on the debt is beginning to exceed the amount spent on the military alone. Something needs to be done, and sooner or later, the usual throwing more money at the problem is not going to work.

Yes. My father's death and my mother going in a nursing home has affected my view (late 40s) of myself a lot. I mostly ignore my age and refuse to "be old", but that's getting harder and harder.
That "all" is your own addition, not present in the comment I responded to.

Note that it was a man saying it. And I, also a man, agree: men who just send "Hey" to all women they can find are pathetic. It's a shitty, spammy way to behave on a dating site. It helps nobody.

Are LLaMA's weights generally available/floating around yet?
Idris 2 does compile to C, but it uses its own reference-counting garbage collector and cannot currently be used to generate libraries. I believe this limitation is true for all of the compiler targets right now, except maybe Javascript (some work was actively in progress on this when I last checked).
I'll build on kayodelycaon's second point:

When an entity sponsors an event, they begin to redeem the value of that sponsorship immediately in the form of publicity for the sponsorship, website logos, any other relevant copy or press, etc., so at that point since value has already been delivered, "escrow" would not be the correct service.

Because of that, the payment should be direct and in advance. It's just that many community orgs tend not to insist on it because they'd rather bring companies in on good faith (because it's often easier than getting immediate budget approvals).
Personally I would rather use http://oberon-lang.ch than plain Pascal. But also Delphi is still used in a lot of commercial projects/products; here are some references: https://www.embarcadero.com/resources/case-studies or https://delphi.fandom.com/wiki/Good_Quality_Applications_Bui.... So there apparently are good reasons for starting new projects in Delphi; one I would consider is the ease of drawing user interfaces, which can be efficiently done even in a meeting with customers, and the blazingly fast compiler performance; so if you want quick results and a fast, native binary, then it is likely a good option.
