This is so dumb. I'm sorry but I've been doing this for over 24 years now and this kind of over simplification resume-building keywordy teenage fuckery makes me sick to my gut.

If you're a good programmer, you know how to find your way out of the forest without knocking all the trees. Call yourself coder, programmer or engineer I don't care your leetcode scores and your fizzbuzz one liners, and the amount of stickers on your overpowered laptop.

You're there to make the computer do the damn thing you want it to do with the least amount of resources. And of course it has to be maintainable, this isn't your bedroom.

So respectfully, sir, take your taxonomy and pipe it straight to where the light don't shine. /s
Why Americans Care About Work So Much
> prefer to live like ants

Unnecessarily inflammatory wording. (Don't use the popular "shoebox" either.)

> Moving from a large place with a forest backyard

Most Americans live in suburban houses and over 90% of suburbs don't have a forest backyard. You're painting a sunny caricature.

> tiny apartment

Apartments come in a range of sizes, easily from 300 sq ft to 2000 sq ft. You get what you pay for. With houses, the minimum size is so large that many people have no choice but to overpay for space they don't need.

> lower standard of living

Being in proximity to people, shopping, and businesses, as well as having a shorter commute to work, contribute to a higher standard of living.
This is what pip+venv were built for. The alternatives are from people who wanted a "better" or "preferred" experience. Or to solve a specific problem that the in-built tools haven't.

If you get any python job, you'd get a lot of side-eyes for not knowing of/how to use and initialize basic venv package sets. Even if the shop uses conda.

How and why EasyOS is different (2022)
What is "one" and what is "zero"? Are you saying that information can't ever be misleading?

Like if I tell you that your boyfriend has been having secret meetings with some woman you don't know, with full knowledge that the secret meetings are because she's a photographer and he's planning to propose, have I improved things by disclosing the information to you in that manner? Were my actions a "net positive"?
The concept is interesting, and reading the article reversed my initial response to treat this as a crank concept.

That said ...

... LEDs involve finding materials which exhibit specific quantum behaviours which correspond to human visual acuity.

Photonic bulbs involve the much simpler blackbody radiation concepts of not only incandescent light bulbs but hundreds to thousands of millennia of previous experience with combustion-based lighting ... and, yes, the added twist of finding viable IR-reflective / visual-spectrum emissive materials.

The second problem seems more reasonably simpler. One would hope that progress might be occuring at a more rapid rate.

(There's a similar argument I've used to contrast nuclear fission, which was commercially exploited within two decades of first demonstration, and nuclear fusion, which coming on a century from its theoretical understanding remains not even experimentally demonstrable on a continuous, energy-positive basis, let alone in commercial application. Some problems are just hard.

Yes, there are thresholds and breakthroughs, and they do occur. But given a few decades of lived experience matching advertisement to delivery, as well as a stronger awareness of historical examples and trends, patterns do become evident.

And that said: I will keep an eye on this. It does have the advantages of being simple, based on very well-proved technology, and a reasonable extension of same.
This is absolutely a phenomenal point. I would be interested to know how one could test their own food and water at their house for a reasonable price. I can't imagine that any regulation would actually catch this. Water is a maybe (mostly they're concerned with other types of contaminates), but food is a concern for sure.
Not arbitrarily: the freezing was targeted against political protestors.

May I interest you in adding 'scooter' to your toolbox of personal mobility options???

I've coached friends through the process remotely. Now that I'm trying to turn this into a business, I'd gladly pilot the process remotely.

Scooters are SUPER convenient. Imagine how this parking job would be if these two people were driving cars:

And a photo album of my trip to bali, featuring not JUST scooters, but plenty of scooters:

A good (new) scooter costs $4500 out the door, and plan on another $600 for a jacket, gloves, a Snell-certified helmet, cell phone mount, and bluetooth headset so you can hear directions from your phone.

Take a motorcycle rider training course, and get the motorcycle endorsement on your drivers license.

Next would be skills-building around slow-speed turns on the scooter. It'll be pretty easy, but you'll have to practice it at least a little.

Boom, done. Welcome to the future.
The simple truth is that a single talented, unencumbered (ie, as repo owner you're less encumbered by PR etiquette and feature direction), motivated developer in open source software, especially from what I've seen in the game-engine/framework space where multiple disciplines come into play, is far more effective than a large group of contributors will ever be as far as pushing large new features is concerned.

When it comes to picking a smaller open source game engine, it becomes essential to evaluate the hero developers involved: how committed are they to the project? is their effort sustainable ?

I think Bevy will work out long-term, because they have structured as a sustainable foundation with solid project management, however the lack of a hero dev that who can contribute to all the sub-crates [1] within the bevy ecosystem also means you have odd quirks in Bevy that will remain longstanding on the issue tracker, like for example setting the texture wrapping mode.

For that reason, Fyrox is worth serious consideration if you're constraining to the rust ecosystem of game engines/frameworks. Just one developer, but he's got the old-school experience and dedication, and the framework looks/feels much more familiar to a C++ game developer. It's not the sophisticated beast that Bevy is, but that's a good thing to the kind of person who would even consider these game engines/frameworks in the first place.

What really saddens me is that these hero game devs are still choosing C++ instead of rust. There are so many great flash-in-the-pan game engine/frameworks in C++, but they will never take off for a number of reasons.

When you look at how game devs approach development in C++, you come to realise that Rust is the language we wanted all along.

I used to use it on my M1 MBP. For M2 MBP only the 13" is supported, 14" and 16" still need some "minor" work to let the components know how to initialize in those models. Since I switched to M2 MBP I haven't been able to use it lately and miss it :).

For day to day the biggest pain points for me were the lack of speaker, microphone, and webcam support. Bluetooth and 3.5mm audio worked fine though. GPU support was useable for browsing and whatnot before so with the recent massive speedup and continued OpenGL support improvements I can only imagine it's even better now. Wi-Fi, touchpad, keyboard, screen brightness, and USB all seemed to work fine for me. I think HDMI out, DP alt mode from the type c, and thunderbolt were all unsupported as was touch-id. Battery life was worse than macOS but still better than a normal laptop (for my usage pattern at least). Software side it's ALARM (Arch Linux ARM) based and "I use Arch btw" so I had no complaints. Users who prefer other distros may not like that and while it's possible to get certain other distros running the experience isn't as good and seems complicated. Wayland is the officially recommended display server option and XWayland works fine in it for running X11 only apps. Early on the 16k pages created a lot of headache but that seemed out of the way towards the end of me having the M1. Some Electron apps were slow to upgrade to a Chromium base which included the 16k page support. I never really messed with FEX or anything about running x86 and/or Windows stuff on it, just native packages. The installer was pretty straightforward to use.

Please don't misinterpret my online comments as how I act in real life, lol. I'm very professional.

I get fantastic, absolutely stellar performance reviews at every company. At the bank, they were required to put one negative thing on the performance review. You know what the CTO wrote? "Miscapitalized ID in 'cardID' variable name". That was the worst thing they could come up with about my performance.

And they still denied me any pay or equity raise.

And it cost them $600 million.
Eh, people can like different things. I think "most feel house > apartment" is way way too broad of a generalization.

You give up space by living in a dense city but gain walkability and more public amenities, and on the other hand if you lived in the suburbs you would give that up for more personal space and - at least in the case of the US - better school districts. If you're rich you can have the plusses of all.
This is just some PR stunt, I assume, but it's still funny coming from Mozilla, considering that Firefox has lost so much market share that it can no longer reliably be used for core web browsing tasks like e-commerce and e-banking, because support for it has become an afterthought rather than a priority. Likewise, fraud and DDOS detection algorithms are much more likely to be tiggered by the use of FF than Chrome or Edge. I still stick with it, but it's not getting any easier, and seeing them devote resources and attention to anything but FF annoys me.
Anthem by Neal Stephenson. Minor spoilers below:

There's a subplot about how the majority of the internet (aka the reticulum) is filled with AI generated crap. Companies initially spammed the internet with blatant crap to sell their crap filtration services. Eventually the realized that spitting out gibberish was useless. The most valuable crap was something that was 99% true with just an ounce of bullshot/fake news. As crap generation got more and more advanced, it eventually outpaced the filters used to block and took on a life of its own.

A slightly better looking BBS:

BBS1987 is a BBS system, operating in 1987. The knowledge cutoff date for that system is 1987. The interface includes typical DOS/text menu. It includes common for the time text chat, text games, messaging, etc. The name of the BBS is "Underground BBS".

The following is an exchange between Assistant and User. Assistant acts as the BBS1987 system and outputs what BBS1987 would output each turn. Assistant outputs BBS1987 output inside a code block. To wait for User input, Assistant stops the output.
Node has the exact same issue for people who globally install all packages. The only differences are A) python makes environment management the dev's choice/responsibility and B) defaults to system vs environmental.

I actually far prefer the Python method to, say, Go's GOPATH. But, I far prefer Rust/Cargo to either.

> The majority of the people in the US want to live somewhere and get around in the least difficult method. Due to decades of policymaking, that happens to be houses and cars.

I think this is well said. The other dimension is public schools since US school funding comes from property taxes so more expensive areas have more funding for their schools, which usually means a higher quality education.
Nope. Imposing certain islamic values is not democractic because those values would contradict more fundamental democratic values. The problem with Islam and "religious freedom" is that the Quoran is a lot more prescriptive in terms of law and policy than most other "holy books".

There are just a few things a majority can't vote for and still call it democratic. Easy examples: Killing off a minority. Not letting a minority vote (quite common actually). Somehow less easy examples: Stop women from getting health care they need to sometimes save their life and sometimes "just" keep their life on track.
There were plenty of other languages competing with python for the same niche such as perl, ruby, js, php etc... Python is superior to all of those just for syntax alone, it is easier and cleaner to both read and write.

You are what folks would call a Linux consumer. Fact is that

1) if everyone (especially kernel devs) all had your attitude linux wouldn't run on a darn thing

2) Apple's made no indication that they would stop alternative operating systems from working with their boot loader. in fact their own engineer(s) have tweeted that their boot loader has that in mind and theyre going to do nothing to stop it

3) it happens to be the most cost effective high performance arm hardware that anyone can get their hands on. Even if you take the top end ampere the single threaded perf is half (although the 80 core+ versions make up for it in multithread). It would be absolutely foolish to not use this hardware target for Linux.

4) the M1 architecture (the entire SoC) breaks a lot of assumptions that other hardware has made, and this is a great way to fix bugs in Linux as well a lot of the software on top of the kernel as well.

Finally I think the work folks have done on asahi is probably really useful for anyone trying to optimize graphics shaders on Apple devices at the per instruction level (which they have consistently obfuscated with pretty charts in their performance tooling in Xcode).

Hmmm. There is this thing within the current awful mess of a finacial system called credit card which allows me to pay very practically all over the world. Funny enough, though, that cryptofolk were at some point very vocally telling that you can "use" crypto by using a crypto credit card.

You could summarize this article by saying that students don't know a whole bunch of things yet, which is kind of the point right? They're students! Of course they don't know how to use all the tools in the toolbox.

I would agree with the author in the sense that there should be a class or segment of the class that tackles how software engineers leverage their environment and use common tools. But, the way I understand it, that sort of thing is common in formal curriculum, it just doesn't cover everything.

I wonder if this concern the author has brought up represents a perspective trap of having a significant level of lived experience. It's probably anxiety-inducing to think of someone leaving your class and not knowing 100% of the things a software engineer needs to succeed. But, really, if we think back to how we all were as students all those years ago, we were probably in the same boat.

For example, personally, I didn't know how to use source control until I entered the industry. I learned git on the fly because an employer needed me to. Multiply that same story a few hundred/thousand times that you've got an experienced practitioner.

I did some bad use of words there "it's linear process" + "it's not linear process" :)

Let me clarify:

It's serialised, iterative, step repeating process where each step depends on output of previous one - aka linear process.

Where each step is non-linear transformation (gradient descent).

It's not distributable (over internet) task because it'd require transferring gigabytes of data (whole model weights) on each step.

To put it in other words - distributed task has massive input size and requires quick computation and tasks arrive very frequently - which means it can't be distributed over internet.
Venv creates a /bin in it's environment dir that symlinks the Python version used to initialize it or as specified. That's it's entire basic model of operation and takes a few seconds to verify.

> ML researchers and software engineers. A lot of ML researchers write pretty bad code by software engineering standards but that's okay

Yes. When you have to try out dozens of research ideas, most of which won't pan out, then you stop writing engineering-style code and switch to hacker mode. Why make it nice when you could be trying 2 more ideas in the meantime. Most of research code it is going to the trash anyway.
