>definitely money now

wait, so it wasn't money before? when they ran all those ads and did all of that 'we're the only privacy company' marketing? i guess it worked really well. when some of it was kinda just, reframing of lacking features and capabilities, and their 'closed ecosystem/walled garden' structure, as 'more secure'.
IMO, screw that. WhatsApp and a myriad of other messengers are perfectly free and cross-platform. Europe (or at least certain countries within Europe) seem to have largely escaped the stupid bubble colour classism of the American market. Possibly due to bad MMS support, so people just moved on to Internet messengers as soon as those got off the ground.

Edit: more moderate phrasing
Yeah I read the article and created my own sheet with my own tasks on it, looked at it, and thought, "OK now how do I make this loop?" Sticking the events into a calendar isn't enough; I was somehow thinking that mapping all this out would show how one thing would lead to another and actually create a cycle of growth.
Here's the concept. Perhaps we have the order wrong. Maybe the physical factor should be the primary factor. The second factor should never be transmitted, but rather is used to unlock the physical factor.

There's lot of smart people left, that's no doubt, but there is an obvious filter that the ones left behind are on average less risk taking, more conservative, often older, often the ones with the national motto of "от нас ничего не зависит/there's nothing I can do", and the next google or the next scientific breakthrough is much more likely to come out of the young risk taking ones now living in a functional country and not from the aging engineers living in a dictatorship and working at a bureaucratic rosatom making "up to $720 a month" (actual number, I looked up their open engineering vacancies).
And what makes them similar to drugs is scheduled rewards. If you see a timer anywhere, it's drug-based design.

Duolingo is absolutely habit forming. It's got positive and negative reinforcements timed at many frequencies: days, weeks, months and years. It's got all sorts of rewards: XP, badges, gems, daily tasks, weekly leaderboards, yearly progress reports. It's got all sorts of punishments: loss of streak, permanent loss of monthly badge, loss of position in leaderboars.

The only thing that excuses all this is the fact it's trying to instill a healthy learning habit which leads to positive results for the user. Unlike the many Skinner's box simulators out there with the reward buttons wired to the player's credit card.
The scientists I know are working for the government and univerities, and are pretty well set. What are you alluding to?

Amateur musicians outnumber professionals, on most instruments. There are entire amateur orchestras.

I'm am amateur cellist. I took cello lessons as a kid, and played in a community orchestra. I also played in a lot of smaller (so called "chamber") ensembles, and learned some solo cello pieces. I never expected to pursue cello as a career.

At the start of the pandemic, I got out my old student cello and started playing it again, strictly for my own pleasure. I will never get good enough to play classical music for money. I have found some jam sessions where my cello is welcome among folk musicians, and have also begun learning to play jazz on the cello.

It sure is a hobby, but one that's not for everybody. Instant gratification? Forget it. Endless struggle? You bet. Most amateur cellists learned the instrument as kids, but that still accounts for a lot of people.

But I would say that there is an answer here. Given the mutually-agreed on objective of protecting/creating-a-distribution-that-respects the users' rights to the 4 freedoms as defined by the FSF, there is an answer as to which policy best serves that goal.

Libreboot has said "given that goal, we believe that the FSF's RYF and FSDG policies are problematic and partially undermine the goal", and the FSF has said "no, we believe that our RYF and FSDG policies are the best policies at this point in time, and Libreboot's non-compliance with those policies partially undermines the goal". But both sides agree on the goal.

Some good ideas but many dots aren't connected.

(1) He is talking about the needs of writers and the needs of readers but not making it clear that these aren't the same. Of course a writer wants as much visibility as possible, a reader has a limited ability to read and wants to satisfy their values as much as they can.

(2) Of course RSS feeds wind up with increasing numbers of "unread" feed items, people will always subscribe to more items than they can read. A viable RSS reader very much need some kind of "algorithmic feed"

(3) He seems to be praising and burying algorithmic feeds at the same time which is a good thing, technology for ranking feeds has improved so much in recent years, particularly small system can perform very well with a modest amount of data thanks to BERT and company
Since Microsoft's implementation of FIDO2 is passwordless, you NEED to use a PIN, which is the "something you know" part, the key being "something you have".

And if the PIN is complex enough, bruteforcing or guessing won't work as I believe the default behavior is to wipe the secure element storage after 8 incorrect attempts (with 3 attempts per key being initialized at a time).
> if you have large student loans the pay is to low to make any headway in paying them down

The Public-service loan forgiveness program has been revamped to make it possible to get loan forgiveness now. Most people whose sole income is adjuncting at a CC aren't going to be making any payments. Of course the side effect of going the forgiveness route is that it can lock you into a low-paying public job for years.
> How is this is even remotely legal. They have literally decompiled Nintendo's binary -- up to the point the decompiled sources build to a binary with the same checksum -- and are now redistributing it.

This is like not being allowed to burn CDs on your PC because you can potentially use them to burn a copyrighted .ISO. I think that media companies tried to take that away in the VCR days but failed.

Another similar situation: ID Software open-sourced their DOOM code, but not the art assets. So you have a bunch of DOOM engines, including enhanced ones like GZDoom, BOOM, etc. Which you can download, but you only get the engine and none of the WAD files which contain the levels, sound and graphics.

So you can then use freely available assets like Freedoom or other packs that are out there, or use ones from your existing legal copy of DOOM.

You can build your own Pagerduty, feature-wise. But a system like that requires higher high availability than your app.

Pagerduty's SLA for availability is 99.9% (3 nines) which is up to 43.8 minutes per month.

If you build your Pagerduty clone on AWS, your theoretical maximum availability is 99.99%.
We have a Legoland pass. We've spent two weeks there already this year. My kids would go every day if we let them.

It's not great for adults -- although my first time there was when I was 23 and childless and I loved it.

However, it's fantastic for my 6 and 8 year old, and as their parent I get extreme joy watching them have so much fun, and it's entertaining enough for me to not get bored.
I see. I think I'm arguing that we should be more critical of animal studies, as I'm having problems seeing what usable data was extracted from these mice that wouldn't have been found some other way.

I don’t know, it makes me get on everyday and do something - and they are pretty forgiving with the streak piece of the app. I’d rather learn a little everyday than look at one of the overly pedantic texts that the super geniuses of Hacker News will recommend that only work for them and that I’ll close and never look at after day 3.
> 1 million on 1.36T (Google’s market cap) is 0.00007%. Let’s say Google has 25,000 engineers and they each own 1 million. That’s less than 2% of the company. And obviously 1 million is unlikely to be the average engineer ownership stake.

It doesn't matter. Compared to the average person, they will still reap a lot of the benefits of rising stock value. Given that stock is a major part of compensation, owning $1 million or more dollars worth of shares is more common than you think, but how should you know? You haven't worked in tech, and judging from your comments it doesn't seem like you've even joined the work force yet.

> I highly recommend you look at other industries. How many people are earning 500K? Not many. Do you really believe software engineers are so special? No. We existed in a specific period of time: explosive economic growth, coupled with low interest rates, coupled with low supply of software engineers. The industry is maturing. Money is no longer free. Tens of thousands of software engineers are pumped out of universities every year. The writing is on the wall. The lifestyle software engineers have come to enjoy is under threat. Why will software look any different than any other professional industry?

We are talking about circumstances in the past and present ie right now, and not in the far off future of 10-20 years from now. It is nonsensical to unionize when both the pay and benefits are decent. When this changes, then behaviour will naturally change.

> From this conversation, I get the impression you’re not even particularly intelligent. Get over yourself.

Given all of the convoluted logic from your comments, that applies more to the person you see in the mirror rather than myself. You live in an ivory tower; you need to experience the real world first before you double down on a subject that you're not very familiar with.

You're also too overconfident. It's not merited.
There is a difference between a GC used for only a tiny fraction of objects that implement a certain interface (Unreal Engine case) and using a GC for all the things like Java does, which you cannot opt-out. In Java case the GC has to scan gigabytes of objects, and often the garbage production rate is also in gigabytes per second, hence an efficient general purpose GC implementation is much more challenging.

We're talking past each other, here.

Your article presents a sufficient argument for dismissing the TDD example. Tossing effect size in, your argument still applies for dismissing an ideal study.

My point is not that what you said didn't suffice, it's that the philosophically heavyweight arguments weren't necessary. They were a hand-written recursive-descent parser, when the example could have been solved with a regex.
> No mention of exporting kWh during the summer days and importing during winter nights?

Almost certainly a great deal of this.

But

> > No offsets shenanigans.

Means they're not entering some shady arrangement with someone else that is doing green things and doing accounting magic to claim it's about the same. It's much harder to play games when you're talking about netting zero on-site.

> Still good as every kWh of solar is a kWh of gas not burnt.

This is becoming much less true in many places with a lot of solar, e.g. California.

AI as a simulation of human cognition is definitely getting close. What I still think is quite far out is a type of intelligence uniquely suited to computers and machines that is based in taking full responsibility for their own lifecycle. In that regard, hardware will likely be the biggest limitation because we are very far off from self replicating machines. Once machines/computers are able to fend for themselves and grow/reproduce, then a truly unique AI will emerge with all of the concerns unique to its existence. That AI is the one I fear because it is utterly unknown.

I don’t understand how Americans have been brainwashed into thinking getting fired is the end of the world and doing anything to “rock the boat” is being mean to the company.

Especially SWEs at FAANG. Y’all absolutely minted money the last few years. You get months and months of severance. Do you realize that most of us make “only” $130k as seniors and don’t get any stock bonuses or severance? If I made $300k/year I’d have YEARS of expenses in an emergency fund. Unionizing would be a win-win. Either I become a unionized employee or I take a 1-year sabbatical.

I doubt this is going to make Apple "shake nervously" (LOL), but props to Xiaomi for coming out with a phone that has a big sensor (1-inch, same size as the Sony RX100) capable of optical bokeh, and four high-quality Leica lenses with full-frame-equivalent focal lengths ranging from 12mm to 240mm.

There's a market for it. Here's the official announcement:

The decompilation process and toolset made available would take more work to fake than to just do, not to diminish how much work that last bit is. Particularly since parts of the toolset work successfully across many titles (e.g. Paper Mario, Super Mario 64, and Ocarina of Time).
1994 or 1995? This video (with 13 extra seconds at the end) is also available on the same channel with another title (The Early Days of Computer Shopping: A 1994 Betacam SP Video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eACEHVceYl0

I wonder if there is any detail that would support the fact that this video was filmed in 95 and in not 94.
… a military occupation in the wake of the most destructive war of the last century, started by both of those occupied countries.

I bring that up not to crow about the USA’s bygone righteousness, but to highlight that the people of Japan and Germany were ready to embrace a new paradigm, because the old one had resulted in so much suffering and death.
It's not an organizational problem... it's a swoooosh-playing-with-my-lego-thing-oops-a-piece-shattered-off-and-I-can't-find-it problem.

And then later, the lego piece waits for nightfall, and crawls out from the dark nook to the middle of the most inconvenient walkway for its moment to strike.
This makes it sound like there's quite the demand for Lego sets/bricks. Has their market (people who want to play with Legos) grown a lot? I stopped playing with Legos about 2 decades ago, so I haven't really kept up with any potential growth that they've experienced/predicted to experience.
That's ok, US government will ban them for security reasons if it turns out their products are competitive in their market.

Here is an example of the wave equation (you can tap/click anywhere to create a disturbance): https://visualpde.com/sim/?preset=waveEquation
One major draw of Lego is their licensing of expensive creative IP. Look at the Harry Potter, Star Wars, DC, Lord of the Rings themed sets. Smaller competitors likely can not afford the same offerings. And Lego probably has deep enough pockets to ensure exclusive deals.

There's also something to be said for having such a dominant, established brand. Lego is a cultural icon, beloved by multiple generations. Picking up a knockoff kit is sort of like taking your kid to a random local theme park instead Disney World. While in theory the two options have similar features (rides! characters running around in costume!) they are of course not the same.
Time management is possibly the easiest part, for me. You end up putting it on your calendar and the calendar will take care of it for you.

The hardest part that I had to learn as an EM was how to identify ways to be effective with small blocks of time, safeguarding my energy, and making sure I (and my team) were working on the most important things.

There are a fair number of considerations for productivity. I wrote about this a few weeks back ( https://www.ebiester.com/productivity/2022/12/14/lego-blocks... ) but these are the factors to consider:

* Time management - How do I organize my day?
* Activity management - What are the right things to work on?
* Capacity management - How many things can I plan at once?
* Project management - How do I break down my tasks into manageable sizes?
* Task management - How do I focus on an individual task, and what do I do with them?
* Energy management: How do I use my most productive time for the valuable things, and how do I make sure I don’t overextend myself?
* Knowledge management: How do I organize what I’ve learned so that I don’t lose time to trying to search for it in complex projects?
* Habit management -how do I stay on track with the habits I want to adopt or have adopted?
* Vision/goal management - what is my north star? What am I working toward and how do I get there?

There are a lot of people who have written about these topics individually. I think the important part is to identify what you need, and dive into those topics in particular as you build your productivity system.

1) There is almost always a pretty good reason why things are the way they are in spite of what it seems.

2) There is almost always a pretty good reason why people do what they do in spite of what it seems.

3) Everyone else is not at idiot in spite of what I think.

4) I'm no better than anyone else in spite of what I secretly believe.

Actually, the lack of appreciation of these truths is widespread across age. It's just that older people tend to be a little more patient and can more easily deal with their frustrations.
