We don't have those books in our system yet as no author has recommended them is why nothing is showing up. We are still pretty limited as we have interviewed 8,000 authors in different areas, but that isn't a lot in the grand scheme of books. Slowly getting in more every week :)

That may be true, but the only thing I know is that I'm having it :) What I didn't mention is that it's an LTS version of Kubuntu, so logging an issue would probably just lead to the question "does it still happen with the current version?", and I'm not motivated enough to invest the effort into finding that out right now, so I guess I'll just have to live with it until I upgrade my installation...
It could be but it doesn't have to be. That's why editorial independence is a thing. And that's why you'll see broadcasters in Russia, North Korea, Iran and China try their level best not to criticize the ruling party and ruling individuals of the countries that they have their base in because if they did the consequences would likely be much further reaching than those related to funding.

The fact that this needs to be spelled out is a bit sad. One of the first things an editorial board of an actual news service does is to assert its independence, if it can't do that then they will resign in a very public way that leaves no doubt about what is going on.

For instance, the large number of people that resigned from Twitter when Musk took over (and that was besides the ones that he fired because he couldn't get them to do his bidding) made exactly such a statement.
Every time this discussion about different projections comes up, I just want to ask: has no one ever seen a globe? When I was a kid, we had them in classrooms and I had one in my bedroom. I never got the impression that that was unusual or unique. Have globes just gone wildly out of fashion in recent years?
I think the odds of getting a high-profile orchestra slot are far lower than that.

Source: Multiple orchestra musicians and management speaking about the audition process and the now-defunct myauditions.com website

Process:

Show early talent

Get the right instruction

Get into a preparatory program

Make it into a conservatory

Do well once there

Get a spot in an ensemble, probably lesser-known (not easy) and establish a reputation

See an audition notice with repertoire to prepare, apply

Spend a few weeks or months intensively practicing (on top of other commitments)

Maybe get an audition, realizing the Music Director may be promoting his buddy past these rounds

Travel at your own expense to the audition

Play demanding repertoire behind a screen and respond to any directions

Most likely get rejected

Play in any following rounds

If not rejected, maybe you get a qualifying week rehearsing with your potential colleagues and playing a couple of concerts when the Music Director is in town

If you beat out the couple of stellar artists who've also gotten that far, you may get an offer

Or, the MD's buddy may get the offer

Or, there may be a no-hire

If you get and accept the offer, you are "on approval" for a couple of years at which point there's the Tenure Decision
I love the comparison to music auditions, and I mostly agree with the advice.

I would still require the candidate however to write some code. Something rather simple, not leetcode, ok, not fizzbuzz either, and something that proves their familiarity with at least one language and platform.

I should be a GM by now simply watching chess analysis videos on Youtube, learning the names of some openings etc. I can talk about it all day long. But since I don't play at all (I'm not interested) when I actually do play on occasions I revert to 500 ELO...

You can easily tell a seasoned veteran from a rookie just by looking at them code for a few minutes, working on a simple task. If you can't, you have no business in interviewing others :)

That’s really a Nigeria problem, tho, not the entire continent. Nigeria has stumbled the last few years, most other African nations have not.

The argument is based on cherry-picking arguments like that. Overall, Africa is quite rapidly developing. Not as fast as we would like, but the overall narrative of the article is cherry-picked nonsense not consistent with reality. Subsaharan Africa overall has grown in per capita gdp by about 2x since 2000. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.CD?locat...

…while its birthrate per woman has fallen from 5.7 to 4.7 (and on a steeper decline now than 20 years ago). https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.TFRT.IN?location...

In fact, I’m even more confident that birthrate will fall to near replacement in 50 years than I am about development, but even if just the birthrate drops, the improved dependency ratio will just about automatically increase the per capita gdp. Africa currently has roughly twice the number of dependents-per-worker as east Asia, for instance. (Or did in 2010), and a reducing fertility rate will mechanistically improve that dramatically. That alone is good for like a 50-100% increase in per capita gdp, let alone the compounding effects of a beneficial dependency ratio.
>Drone delivery only to sustain a megalopolis would likely fill the air with background sound not unlike an army of barking dogs.

No, barking dogs would be far worse. Drones are just a constant buzz or whir, so they're basically white noise, though the noise gradually changes in pitch and volume as the drones move around due to distance and doppler effect. Dog barking is sharp and irregular. Sane humans find that far, far more annoying.

Having smaller deliveries by drone could be quiet and nice if they invent anti-gravity systems (or "suspensors"). But that probably won't come until after we have ornithopters...

What I found interesting is that you could write these right-to-left and bottom-up, as long as you allow the top part to point in either direction, which makes the whole thing a lot easier. For example, 171:

\ (1)

\/\ \ (60 + 1)

\/\ \ (70 + 1, add 10 to the right digit)

/ >
\/\ \ (171, add 100 to the left digit)

This is the reason it only works with directx 8 or 9: they have a pretty rigid render path with a clearly separated vertex and pixel shader pipeline.

For directx 8, you would for example specify light sources as part of special draw calls to the directx API, which makes it easier to translate them to a ray traced scene graph.

Shader tools like reshare also use heuristics to detect which of the framebuffers contains a depth map to add effects like SSAO to older games.

I imagine that rtx remix can to similar things to detect where in a shader the light coordinates are stored: after all most shaders look pretty similar when it comes to implementing a Phong shader etc.
About the plugin part - to be fair, and as far as I know, it is not a "plugin" in the same way of, say, Gnome extensions - I guess OP meant more than it is a module. It actually comes by default in every Plasma install.

> When a crypto exchange fails, depositor funds are unrecoverable. There is no system to protect the depositors, no system to recover funds from the failed exchange.

That is why I'm anticipating that crypto will be a stronger ecosystem than the traditional financial sector. If we punish people for bad decisions, then by Darwinian logic the crypto ecosystem will not funnel capital towards the sort of idiot depositors who give Joseph Gentile their money. If they cared to check what their money was funding they could have seen this coming.

The traditional finance system is protecting those people. That weakens it. Which has always been the strongest argument against governments handing out money to failed banks. They've been doing that for at least a decade and it means the financial system is shaky enough that it falls over when hit it with 5% interest rates!

To me the whole web is diverged into two directions:

- actually "web pages" (with hyperlinked content)
- actual apps made in web because of the simplicity of distribution (no need to be approved by stores, no need to ask/force users to upgrade etc).

This simplicity of distribution, I would argue, is the major reason why many developers (including me) regularly chosing inferior technology for their products. Release the same app as native for 5 platforms (iOS, Android, Linux, MacOS, Windows) is just too complicated compared with web app experience.

So "web pages" are fine to stick to HTML/CSS/whatever. But for "apps" we need a solution and Flutter is already amazing here, but native WASM variant would be a completely new experience.

Not sure I got the "alloying" part correctly, but Flutter already has some sick interoperability with "web stack", so Flutter code can be embeeded into the regular "web app/page" and interact with it.

I know plenty of people who took pay cuts to work in cleared jobs at Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. If you're talented, you can make a lot in the defense and intelligence community.

Hacked? No. Most sensitive data is kept on air-gapped networks. Not really hackable. Can be exfiltrated, sure, but that's part of the point of the extensive background checks.

> it's assumed that you don't know "foreign persons" (hint: This is actually now a mark of the lower-class and uneducated.)

Not even remotely true. You do have to report contacts you know to be non-US citizens, but that's not disqualifying. I knew someone who filled out over 200 pages of foreign contact forms, and still obtained TS/SCI clearance.

> a software engineer without an advanced degree is basically nobody

Not accurate. Most people I knew in the cleared space didn't even have computer science degrees; most of us had bachelor's degrees in unrelated subjects, many even non-STEM (several history/English degrees).

Somewhat true, but surely you're aware of AWS and Azure building out substantial private clouds for intelligence and defense customers?

Rarely. Most SCIFs have windows, in my experience.

I did cleared work in Seattle. I don't think I've ever voted Republican. I've voted Green on a number of occasions. Same story for most of my coworkers. The most left-leaning people I know never had an issue with my job.

I think there are two ways of thinking about this: First, your presence there means someone more conservative isn't there, and you can maybe effect some small change. Second, any job at a sufficiently large corporation is ultimately killing people, even if indirectly; there's no way you can work to enrich billionaires at the expense of the working class and feel like you're contributing to the net good of society unless you're engaging in some serious cognitive dissonance. At least, IMO.
It hooks into the DirectX fixed-function pipeline used back in the day (i.e. where you set up model/view/projection matrices and lightsource coordinates and surface materials and sent to OpenGL/Direct3D), so it knows what the programmer wanted to do, and from there it's "easy" to replace everything.

Excerpt: "Scene manager, which uses information coming through the D3D9 fixed function API to create a representation of the original scene, track game objects frame to frame, and set up the scene to be path traced."

Get a house, couple kids and a retirement fund. Then have her watch sex in the city and have girls nights out. To divorce papers, child support, demestic abuse and losing your family.

>they now want to talk about how “simple” and “beautiful” C is for no other reason than signaling how different you are from the zeitgeist?

Given that this has been an argument for 3 decades or so, e.g. compared to C++ especially, I don't think so.

Even more so since C is not just some trendy language you pick up quickly, but needs quite a lot of time and effort to be profficcient in, to the point of appreciating its simplicity and portability/stability/etc benefits.

>Rust exists for a reason, and it solves specific problems.

Rust exists because its creators had a reason such a language was needed in mind. Doesn't mean others necessarily share it, or if they do, that they see Rust as the solution to the problem behind that reason.

Most illegal (if you're Republican)/Undocumented (if you're a Democrat)/Whatever immigrants heading to America aren't Mexican and haven't been for a bit now. And that's just the issues with the presented idea on the border front.

Sorry I gotta ruin your day but KDE applications means something else entirely in the KDE branding parlance: https://apps.kde.org/en-gb/ . It's a bunch of apps except Plasma and a few applications that are actually developed as part of plasma, like System Settings, Discover and a few others.

This is such a good way to make these old games look really spectacular. 2d graphics of the era haven't aged particularly badly but old 3d games usually look pretty janky (imo!). Being able to literally see them in a new light is wonderful.
That works until you want to use code from somebody else who also has something like that that serves them well, but is slightly different.

If you’re extremely lucky, things will compile and work.

If you’re just lucky things won’t compile, and you’ll have to write conversion functions (or macros).

If you’re unlucky, there will be subtle differences, likely poorly documented, between the libraries, and code will compile but have subtle bugs.

Of course, other languages have that problem, too, but at the higher level of json parsers or graphics libraries, not at the basic level of strings, lists, or maps.
> If Rust was just C but with strong typing, a borrow checker and what would basically be super strong static analysis of pairing malloc() and free(), people would likely switch immediately.

This is in a nutshell why I haven't switched to Rust. All I actually want is a small language like C, Go or Zig, but with compile time memory safety guarantees. Even if it means that a lot of 'dangerous' flexibility is removed or in an unsafe{} block (essentially a Rust--).

IMHO one problem with Rust is that it is moving too quickly into too many different directions, and as a result becoming a 'kitchen-sink language' in the tradition of C++.
I would define "architecture" (as it appears in applied software development) as working on the structure and interaction of system components much larger than a single data structure or a single algorithm; where many of those components might be separate systems themselves. When "architecture" handles specific data representations, it's usually talking about the data representation and encoding at some API or "API-like" (e.g. file, message, etc) interface between two systems or persistent storage, not about the temporary representation of that data during some processing; and "architecture" is generally much more about the semantics of that data and possibly differing assumptions/expectations about that data between different components, rather than the performance characteristics of that representation for a particular algorithm except in the relatively rare case when a single algorithm represents the majority of that system's purpose and performance.
I think parent knows. A more accurate description would be everyone of the intended audience was writing assembly. Yes there are other languages of higher levels, but C was not invented to help their users. And since they are also not really what Rust targets either, IMO it’s reasonable to shorten it to drop the qualifier in this context.
How many "football" fields are you?
It seems like you're a manager, but how do these two sentiments go together:

> You must be willing to say "I don't know" 10x more than as an IC

> All other approaches will lead to you failing to deliver results, failing to retain, and a drag on the org.

Your advice is contradictory on its face. How can you embrace "not knowing" and having a curious mind, while at the same time declaring that this set of operational activities are "the only way to do it"?

> You must believe deep down in your core that ordering a human being to do something is a sign you must introspect about your failure as a manager, and commit to fixing the problem.

This also just seems like new-age guilt injected into the work place. Don't be a micro manager always in people's faces for no reason but if you're telling yourself you're a failure because _as a manager_ you told someone to do something, I'm not sure how you last more than 2 days on the job.
