Well, I used to teach people to build state automatons first, then stack automatons, then Turing machines, then very simple CPU simulators and then trivial interpreted languages on top. Never touched AVR, but x86 assembly is way too hard/cluttered in my opinion.

Agree on the second stance but "advanced applications programming" is engineering. At this point I'm completely convinced that it's a bad idea to try to become an engineer if you aren't a reasonably good programmer yet.

Samsara is pretty great as well, mostly because of the impeccable cinematography and shelling out for 70mm film and lugging cameras and lenses which film in 70mm around the world.
Yeah I always think it's strange that because you have made the deliberate choice to not upgrade your browser in years, ignore all of the "feature not supported on your browser" messages, ignoring security updates, etc. that I should be focusing on your experience, instead for the 98% of people who do do those things.

Isn't it a deliberate choice to have that experience?

Unless you're in an industry that requires not upgrading, backward compatibility is great, up until a point.

I'm assuming that if you counted every potential whistleblower in the US that was ever reported on in the national or local news over the past few decades, it would probably add up to something in the thousands?
It’s a huge jump from what you mentioned rather than a “small step away.” (I see you edited your post, but I’m sticking with the original quote) Everything you mentioned can be done in short spurts of time and interwoven with other parts of someones life. VR as it stands today is way too burdensome and all consuming to pull that off. I’m not even getting into the additional hardware costs.
CSS had always been fun. It’s always a puzzle, trying to take advantage of the way all the rules contribute to the final layout. I think people get frustrated with it because they don’t want to mess with it, they just want it to work - that’s where a lot of those css layout frameworks come from, that’s where BEM comes from - people just don’t want to mess with it. But for me, I’ve always thought messing with it was the fun part.
I live in America. Builders will definitely cut corners to save $20. Hands down. Even brand new houses that sell for $500k will have "builder quality paint" that needs to be repainted in 5-7 years because it is cheap.
If they cut corners on paint, they will cut corners on your stove.
> Kids are ostracized if they don't have a smartphone

So?

I was ostracized for being into science, math, and computers in the early 90s. It sucked at the time, but at the end of the day it's better having a solid filter for who are the superficial garbage people, and who are not.

Kids are ostracized in different generations for different things. It's in our nature to be shitty to each other.

The limitation does seem quite artificial (at least currently while they're not making use of the features), and the cutoff is a bit too recent as well (I'd understand if it was 10 or 20 year old hardware but it wasn't)
What makes it worse is, whistleblowers are trouble makers often. They are difficult people, at best like Snowden, they lay low. It makes it easier to dismiss them. Why? Because people who are good and social with the group do not have a contrarian character. To whistleblow against a very powerful organisation, like the NSA, you have to be a pain in the ass. I don't mean that in a bad way. Normal sociable people just don't do that.

So when a whistleblower breaks out, and they get chastised there almost is never support from within the organization for them.
Technical writer checking in to cosign everything you've said here. Most style guides advise against this kind of language for the exact reasons you outline—it adds nothing to documentation and it's pithy marketing-speak.

> Types just make it easier to avoid mistakes

If you look at a language like Haskell, types are there to provide polymorphism and allow you to rearrange the language in convenient ways. It's impossible to say what is the single main use of types there, but this is certainly one of the most important ones. Another main use of types there is documenting interfaces.

People only get to say that types provide nothing else but correction if they decide that all the other uses are non-important and should be ignored. But then, that's a pretty trivial and useless information.

That’s not weakening security – the worst case scenario is that you are no more secure than the password you would have used, and not having to enter the password so frequently improves security both directly by significantly reducing the number of opportunities for someone to watch you enter it and indirectly by removing the incentive to use a weaker password which is easier to enter or having a longer auto-lock grace period. Something like a pass phrase is much easier to sell people on if they don’t have to tap it in 30 times a day.

Read up on the onion futures markets; due to a (rather fascinating) historical decision, they are one of the few commodities without speculative futures. As a result, price volatility in the market is massive, with far worse swings compared to the efficient markets where speculators operate.
I dont think thats correct, as a recent homeowner.

The deposit requirements are high to get a loan, now yes, we could change that thru subsidy or guaranty by the government.

But what about maintenance? renting is turn-key, even when your mortgage is lower than rent, you still have the unexpected costs that appear?

In the six months I've been here, I've had to replace or repair:

Garburator

Cooktop

Oven Coils

Shower Controls

Sink Faucets

A couple circuit breakers

Sprinklers (all of them, 80% of them were broken)

Also, yard maintenance is this ongoing battle, between tree droppings, grass mowing, and weed abatement (some of which you must do, like dealing with noxious vines).

If you wanna fix a greater social ill, the issue isn't 'benefitting owners' its that people have been conditioned to treat their home like an investment rather than a place to live and prosper in. Property Values shouldn't be going up 5x faster than inflation, but they have been for a couple decades.

Indeed, division just doesn't have a parallel algorithm, unlikely mul and add. So it's bound to be 'slow'. About 2008 - Intel core 2 (2006) had 3 cycle mul. Edit: Pentium Pro(1995)'s imul was 4 cycles. 386's imul was slow, though.
Even after the eggpocalypse, a dozen eggs is still $3.99 at the grocery store. And they only take a few minutes to fry up. Pot of coffee, maybe a buck. I like going out to brunch as much as the next person, but I've done a lot more cooking at home rather than either dine in or take out these days.
The text is in an element with CSS intended to make it “screen reader only” by visually hiding the element. Reader mode ignores those rules in the same way a screen reader would.

The unpleasant side-effect of this approach is that anyone using a screen reader for accessibility reasons is told to consider switching it off so they can look at the font the author picked.
One thing I would be interested to see would be a new type of instrument that takes advantage of foundation models in a way that results in a user experience that is considerably more difficult than a toy guitar with a few buttons, but considerably easier than actually playing your favorite songs on the guitar. Even better if it can be used for a type of sound that is unique and can't be replicated on more traditional instruments.
> And his actions were counter to Tesla's official policy which clearly states that it is acceptable to discuss salary.

If managers are not following the policy, and leadership doesn't enforce the policy on the managers, the policy may as well not exist.

> Why extrapolate the actions of one person to those of the entire organization?

An employee was suspended and fired for talking about their salary, and for attempting to talk to the manager's manager. This kind of activity doesn't generally happen without the leadership chain being aware. It's a part of their job description to be aware. They, and/or HR, should have shut that shit down.

They didn't. Tesla should be held accountable, not given a softly spoken warning. Especially since it's not the first time the NLRB has had to point out to Tesla that they're breaking the law.

> Go look at the job board on the Tesla website. Their salaries and benefits look great to me.

Completely unrelated.

To further solidify this, Magnus crushed Ian in the last WCC 7.5 to 3.5.

> web dev today is still just as hard, but for different reasons

As someone who did webdev back in the 2000s and still does it now, I do not agree with this at all. Webdev is easy now. Especially with the development of simpler build systems (esbuild, vite, etc) in the couple of years.
I don’t agree with this. Sure, maybe AI will start producing some hit songs but I don’t see it ending pop music as we know it. Fans of popstars are not just fans of the music, but of the persona. Do you think Taylor Swift would have as much success if she were just a computer writing emotionally charged songs? I don’t think so, because the appeal of those songs is that the listener feels like they get to know a real person.
I hope they do, and I hope it forces Nvidia to release their own 48GB+ consumer card. 80GB is on my long term wish list as it would allow running a 65B model 8bit quantized. I don’t see local models exceeding ChatGPT performance until we get to a point where folks can run 65B parameter models.
It's reading candy in the purest form. I got to the end and wondered what the point was? Things change? Okay, where's the marketing insight Seth?
A lot of things are indeed desirable enough to produce that many of us keep producing them even without much in the way of economic incentives. As someone firmly in the hobby segment when it comes to writing (my two self-published novels has sold more than average yet still won't cover my - admittedly ridiculous - takeaway spend) the money doesn't matter to me, and so I've probably given away as many copies as I've sold.

The problem I have with this support of piracy myself, is that while there'd be millions of books still being published without noteworthy economic incentives, economic incentives matters to get volume and quality from at least a proportion of those producing creative works full time who we'd really like to be able to dedicate their time fully to it.

In other words: Even if (and that's purely for the sake of argument) I had the talent to produce something of similar quality as cstross, talent is not enough. It also takes a huge amount of time and dedication to polish those skills to get to the that level, and very few people who are doing it as a hobby can ever hope to (and/or want to) put in the level of effort needed. I certainly could never do that.

If we could achieve the same with grants or something like UBI, great, but I feel we'd lose a great amount of of creative works if it wasn't possible for a proportion of people to work full time honing those skills. And many of those works would be among our best.
I've thought about blowing the whistle but I'm honestly too afraid. Even if I do, nothing changes. Companies get tiny fines and executives keep their bonuses, yet the whistle-blower's life is ruined.
As someone concerned about resource usage on Earth, it seems to me that the absolute last thing a super advanced civilization would do would be the galactic equivalent of strip mining or mountain top removal. I would think a civilization would have to develop more wisdom about how it interacts with and uses the natural world to even reach a stage where it could consume resources in that scale, and by then it would know better.

It's actually quite comforting that we didn't seem to find any "type 3" by this definition. If we did, that would be a civilization with no respect for life beyond its own, and thus, would be one to fear.
Should still be visible if a super civilization gets to a point where it needs to harness the power equivalent of an entire star (or even far sooner) then even if they don’t do it via a dyson sphere the waste heat alone should still be detectable.

I think your tone was why you got downvoted.

You're mostly right though, so long as housing is consistently treated as an investment rather than a commodity produced and sold in bulk, landlords hold all of the power.
One manager, and their supervisor. Either the supervisor was negligent in doing their job, or supported the manager.

HR should probably be more on the ball too. And implemented policies/procedures.

There's never just one person who messes up. Kinda like how it's never just the Junior Dev's fault when they delete the production database.
I like it. Let's see how it feels over time.

You might consider Sixel support as a way of doing images. There are a number of excellent libraries that support it.
Well, yes he could have, but he didn't. And Ding simply played better than him and beat him in that game. And in the game before that he passed up chances to play for a win with white for an easy draw.

That's why I think the final game became sort of a microcosm of the match as a whole. Ian's concentration slipped and he was thinking of making a draw, and the match situation, and not the position at hand, and when Ding rejected the draw he was too flabbergasted by it to handle the position whereas Ding just kept calculating.

It was a very tight match, and both players would have deserved it had they won they tie break. But I think overall in decisive moments Ding was just a little bit more collected and concentrated, and that's why he ended up winning.
We really ought to show more care and test more when we are creating chemical marvels and new materials. At a certain level of scale a lot of the inventions of the last 50 years turned out to be quite damaging to our health and environment. We don't seem to have the balance right yet comparing freedom to release whatever and complete lockdown until something is proved safe and we keep damaging people and the biodiversity of the planet on which we depend.
Our family went to a restaurant yesterday, and they put on a 20% gratuity by default, and then presented a credit card bill with a line for a secondary tip and suggested amounts based on percentage (18%, 20%, 25%) -- effectively tips of 42%, 44%, and 50%

The first tip (the default 20%) was hidden on the detailed receipt. The credit card receipt had no indication there was already a tip applied.
I was struck by the dark pattern here.

Further, the service was so-so. We had to ask for water three times before we got refills, kids screaming the entire time. Dinner out is meant to be relaxing and enjoyable, not a quest to demand something you're already paying for.

When I spoke to a co-diner, the explanation was "well they are short on staff." OK, so if they are short on staff and couldn't refill glasses with water, how did that justify a 20% gratuity?

Also, if they are short on staff, and the smaller set of staff are sharing a tip, doesn't that even out a lower tip?

This has happened over and over and our default response is not to complain, or write bad reviews, but just to stop dining out. We cook at home, with high-quality ingredients, and enjoy the time together.
The D language, that I work on, is given away entirely for free. It has the most permissive license I can find (Boost). I don't get paid for contributing to D.

If you're familiar with my posts, I'm about as far from a socialist as one can get.
To be fair though, in the context of humanity we've never encountered a problem we couldn't later engineer ourselves out of. And it seems reasonable to think if we can engineer ourselves into the problem, we can engineer ourselves out of it as well (especially considering the alternative is to say we must stop innovating)
Ah thanks for the correction. IIRC when I attended (2004-2009) this policy applied to undergrad too but I could be grossly misremembering.
This isn't about removing the USA from the board, this is about letting the truth out. That thing we claim to base our democracies upon.

Your argument boils down to giving up our supposedly better values in order to defeat the "evil guys".

I also refuse to accept that our future is under the hegemony of any single nation. So far the only country we have proof of going for hegemony is the USA. Russia and China are concerned with their borders and it's trivial to verify my assessment Is correct. Just compare military expenses and amount of military bases owned across the world.
Even outside of the web arbitrary absolute dimensions are rarely the correct way to do things. It means that your content/app/etc is rendering badly on some set of screens/form factors and usually breaks accessibility affordances like increased font sizes/weights and font substitution.

Also, another TIL is that the "e" version of gray is British https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/doc/.vale... I had previously erroneously assumed they were just one of those quirks of English (which, I guess is still true but it is less random than I thought)
It's a natural progression of his writing style. It's reductive romantic style, tuned for virality in a sea of endless info. Of course, its shallow, but this one invites conversion of an observation that is quite impactful. I thought it was well done for a general audience, and probably some target to an aging generation. No one around me listens to McCarthy, and if they do its all regression.
>“What was special about Meta was the trust. We drank the Kool-Aid and really felt like it was our company [and] even willingly defended it when everyone said we were evil incarnate,” one current employee said. “But that’s been shattered, so it feels like a betrayal.”

So as long as we're getting paid to be evil, we're ok with that, but when the total disregard for other people is directed at us, well we're upset.

Adding another anecdote for Seattle — a decent local breakfast spot (not upscale) has $15-$20 plates, with $4 for bottomless drip coffee (it’s not great). With 20% tip and 10% tax, it comes to around $30 a person.

I think $30 a person is pretty normal at a lot of decent places. You can definitely still get a good lunch for $15. But just not that normal. I do find $50 a person to be way more common than it should be if you go order a side and a drink as well.
