> If they mattered they would already have been fixed

I just don’t think this is true at all. I’ve always been on teams where the backlog of issues with very real business value (for any value of “matters”) far exceeded the capacity of the team. Given that, it meant that there was a constant battle of prioritization. That process ought to include “Papercuts” as an input variable, for sure.
As a 51 year old man who has been lifting consistently for 35 years it is heartening to see these studies back up my anecdotal results. My workouts have evolved as I have aged certainly, but I remain dedicated to keeping muscle packed on. Doing so has kept my weight under control (I restrict type of foods, but never portion) Made me more injury resistant (I can take a fall) and remain active enough to enjoy moving my body through space. Tracking with others my age I can see that significant performance deltas have opened. We are decades apart. My takeaway is start early and stick with it. Never stop. One needs strength, flexibility, and endurance. Keep switching it around, confuse the body, and generally always be terrible at something. Working out is about probing your weaknesses not celebrating one’s strength. If there is an issue to take with weight lifting it is that it tends to encourage practitioners to reach higher and higher levels of strength in a relatively small range of movement. This is motivating when young and the thing that kills momentum once you get older and don’t heal so fast.

I think the USSR would object to being called capitalist, since they were one of the major Communist revolutions until their economic collapse.

And in this vein, we shouldn't forget Mao's "four pests campaign" in China under Mao which caused mass starvation by killing sparrows which had been eating insects, leaving them with a literal plague of locusts.

Mao would probably have murdered anyone who called him a capitalist:

JetBrains makes damn good stuff. I do C# professionally and even though I use Visual Studio for the bulk of my work, it’s built in refactoring pales in comparison to what JB’s ReSharper provides. (Yes, VS has been catching up but it still has a long way to go.)

Anyway, yeah, Rider by itself isn’t cheap but for not a lot more you can just get the entire JB suite. It includes a whole ton of useful stuff that’s multi-platform and multi-language. When I’m doing Mac dev work, I find Rider to be much better for a lot of things than VS Mac is. (As long as I don’t need Azure integration.)

I could get my employer to reimburse it, but I find it all so useful both for work and for personal projects that I decided it was worth just paying out of pocket and not having to worry about it.
I want to add- there is significant value at the world level, of keeping secrets.

Eveybody wants warfare to be asymmetric and biased towards them- why would we want to give a potential adversary perfect information about what weaponry we have as well as its exact capabilities? Unfortunately, when you want to keep a secret, you can't tell all of your citizens and trust that they won't tell anybody...

I'm not sure how common book tours are. I've done some book signings at events where I've nudged the event organizers into buying some books and giving me a table to sign them at some scheduled time. (Pro tip: It helps to have someone high up in the event hosting organization quoted in the book :-))

But my impression is that publishers are pretty selective at sending authors around the country on a book tour these days. Obviously big time (or even big time genre) authors can often book pretty nice speaking gigs if they like.
It started with arrogance
I had a chemistry teacher (retired analytic chemist for what's now DOW chemical) in highschool who pointed out something that stuck with me:

We tend to act without consideration and have confidence we can just engineer ourselves out of our mistakes.

I think she was right. While I never try to underestimate humanity's enginuity, there's some arrogance there that we may create problems we can't simply engineer around.
AI is fundamentally deflationary. That's due to simple rules of supply / demand.

Our demand is pretty constant. We can't simply consume any more software or content than we do now.

But with AI, supply is going to get jacked maybe another 5x-50x. That's great news as a hobby content creator, but for professionals it just means much stiffer competition for smaller rewards.

Same applies to Software. It has become pretty trivial to reverse engineer any software with AI now, except for the best in class AI models. All of this is probably bearish for most AI startups' hopes for hitting it big. Just too much supply of software.

I'm not saying that they lose their right to an opinion because they are not paragons of virtue. I'm saying that these wealthy people make no attempt at all to mitigate their environmental impact while telling you to essentially pay off their carbon bill. Elon Musk is not alone in taking his private jet on 10-30 minute flights for trips that could easily have been done in a car. Bill Gates has a gigantic unmitigated environmental footprint, for example.

Generally, you would expect people with more wealth and status to be focused on preserving that status. Part of that project is (ostensibly) preserving the world. If Bill Gates does not think that mitigating his own carbon footprint is important for the preservation of his fortune (including several seaside mansions, apparently), I doubt it's important for any of us in the preservation of our futures, despite what Bill Gates is saying about it. This is an example of the phenomenon of revealed preference (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revealed_preference) - you can learn a lot about what Bill Gates actually thinks by looking at what he does rather than what he says.

For the record though, I do think that what these wealthy people say is almost always the wrong thing to do in general. Wealthy people are known for giving bad advice on how to get wealthy, for example. Because some of them run their mouths a lot, they are also generally known for not being smarter than the average person outside of their area of expertise. Because I'm picking on Bill Gates, go ask anyone at the WHO or the CDC about their opinion of Gates' level of expertise on vaccines and disease prevention - it's not high.

Also, wealth and publicity are kind of correlated, but not that significantly. Bernard Arnault famously rarely says a word in public. Larry Ellison is very private. You probably haven't heard a word from Steve Ballmer, the Bettencourt family, or Larry/Sergei. The people who speak a lot about social causes are the ones who are trying to build a brand around those causes. You get a lot of famous actors worth single-digit millions (thanks to reckless spending habits) speaking about climate change, for example, while also not opting to adopt any green habits themselves. I'm picking on them too.

EDIT: I'm picking on rich people too much. You see the same behavior in politicians, too. They are completely unwilling to risk their political careers to make meaningful carbon impacts, and instead do inane things like banning plastic straws. That suggests to me that their level of concern is about at the level where someone would ban plastic straws: they want to do visible and silly things to placate the activists, but don't really think the issue is serious.
The formula is just so long in the tooth anyways. Daniel Craig did a great job holding the role down, but the recent Bond films range from "watchable" to "hopelessly derivative". Like, the villain from the past 5... 10 Bond flicks feel the exact same: maniacal and sadistic monster threatens utopia with their wide-ranging connections and myopic, sad personal viewpoint. It's so played-out by now that it feels more like watching Batman serials than a golden-era spy thriller.

I don't know if the franchise is salvageable. I do know that I'd pay good money to see a 007 reboot in satirical service to BJP-era India or Jair Bolsonaro.

When Snowden was telling everyone we spy on our allies, that is absolutely not treason.

From the Constitution, Article III, Section 3:

Your conception of this seems incredibly basic for all you’re going around telling others they don’t understand. There is a wide range of profitability of debtors and in unsecured loans such as credit cards people who pay their obligation monthly are not appreciated, because they are money losers for the credit card company.

Credit card companies want people who carry a balance every month and then do everything they can not to risk their credit rating. Those are the ones paying hundreds of dollars a month in interest and covering their balances multiple times over.

I’d love to see real profitability on clients who ultimately default on credit cards. I bet there is a large class of them that are profitable because of the long slow struggle making minimum payments and covering fees before they ultimately default. I’d also bet that class is among the most honest and hardworking you’ll meet.

Definitely agree that this kind of media narrative is ChatGPT-level of arbitrary free association that leads to completely nonsensical conclusions. You're also right that FB is still a strong resume signal. That said, I think FAANG reputation has been slowly diluting for a while, and significantly diluted from the over-hiring during the pandemic. The bottom line is the hiring process creates a floor in terms of raw coding ability, but says very little about their ability to drive impact in companies with a lesser warchest of technical talent. The average FAANG engineer is standing on the shoulders of giants at best, and coasting at worst. Being able to deal with a large technical bureaucracy is probably the most consistently reliable signal that a FAANG tenure gives you, but that's not what most hiring managers at companies with lesser tech brand recognition are actually looking for. They're probably imagining something like the scrappiness of folks that built Google from 2000-2005, or Facebook from 2005-2010. Of course those folks still exist, but they're a lot thinner on the ground relative to the massive headcount they have today.
Wastewater surveillance for new psychoactive substances from 16 countries
Not only strange but also illogical. Corporations make more profit when they act illegally. From lobbied protectionism to monopoly, exploitation of natural resources to pollution, hiring of ex government officials to bribery and gift giving and favors, and of course from hiring underpaid and abused workers in countries without labor protection, to knowingly using slave labor, and more, they have billions of reasons to break laws and violate human rights. And every time they do it, they pay a small fine that is dwarfed by their profits and nobody goes to jail.

You don't even have to look overseas. PG&E has caused hundreds of billions of dollars in damage due to wildfires caused by cost cutting; they don't want to do the maintenance they're legally required to do. Entire communities are left homeless and people are killed. And the company gets a tiny fine and the executives get bonuses.

It's actually amazing to me that corporations don't do it more often. It pays to be a piece of shit company.
Mysterious carvings and evidence of human sacrifice uncovered in Shimao (2020)
Modern CPU cores can perform a multiplication and addition every clock tick. Heck, I'd expect a modern Zen4 core to be able to do like 4 parallel 64-bit multiplications per clock tick on it's integer pipelines, and maybe 32x parallel 32-bit multiplications per clock tick on it's vector pipelines.

Multiplications we're bad 40 years ago, but the year 2020 called and FMAC is incredibly optimized today.

You should still avoid integer division (floating point division is commonly optimized as reciprocal and then multiply). But multiplications are really really fast at least as far back as 2008 or so.

-------

I'm pretty sure multiplication's latency is only 5 clocks, but with all the out of order processing that occurs on modern cores, latency of just 5 ticks is rarely is the bottleneck. (A DDR4 memory load is like 200+ cycles of latency. You shouldn't even worry about 5 cycles like multiplication, especially because those out of order cores will find some work to parallelize in that time).

-----

> you lookup the value in array[i][k]

You know a L1 cache lookup these days is like 4 cycles of latency right? And I'm pretty sure you have fewer load/store units than multiplication units. So a load/store, even to L1 cache, might use more resources than the multiply.

Might, I'd have to benchmark to be sure.

You're right, I guess. On devices where the memory (sram) tends not to have its own clock (and there is no OOO), it can effectively be one cpu cycle. PIC and ESP-32 comes to mind. If there is 'extra' not on chip memory, it'd be way worse, of course.
Yes, that’s the point: real world security often has trade offs where there isn’t a simple option which is universally better. Biometrics are a huge win for most people’s realistic threat models because we have decades showing that when left to our own devices most of us pick easily-entered short passwords because it’s tedious entering longer ones many times a day, especially on a touchscreen, or, worse, people turn off auto-lock or set it for a longer period of time.

The source event here is not something most people have to worry about and the suggested advice only applies to a small fraction of people who do have that risk so I think it’s better to educate people about the trade offs to both options as well as other things to consider like the one I mentioned.
What do people get out of reading Seth Godin's blog posts? Genuinely curious. It's a blog post with 9 "paragraphs". The number of "sentences" in each "paragraph": 2, 1, 2, 2, 1, 5, 2, 3, 2. Many of the "sentences" aren't actually sentences but are just sentence fragments. The post consists purely of vague assertions and observations, which aren't researched, aren't argued meaningfully, and don't seem very insightful. Do people just enjoy the nostalgia of reading a popular blog from way back and the feeling it gave them when this kind of thing was novel and exciting?
Your electricity is unreliable because most people rent?

I don't understand the claimed causal relationship.

FWIW, I'm paying rent for my current apartment, we don't have a gas supply, and I've never had a power cut.

Indeed, while I am rich and do own an apartment back in the UK, roughly three quarters of the 16.5 years since I've last experienced a power cut was in property I pay rent for, and only about 4 years were in the flat I own and began collecting rent on when I left the country. Which, ah, also doesn't have a gas supply.

In any case, not sure what this is suppressed to have to do with reliably of the electricity supply — it's not like landlords get free shares in local power grid companies (or if we do, I missed the memo).
