Exactly. I spent 11+ years in a Fortune 500 financial services company, and my annual anti-money laundering training always stressed (and included one quiz question) that if you saw something fishy, escalate to Compliance, and UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES share suspicions with clients. Even if some aspect of the regulation doesn't make much sense, you do not cross the regulators.
His attitude towards society appears not to be one of being serious, and legally correct, at all times.

It's likely there was some humor and bravado, as is the culture of his east coast origins.

The truth of his engagement with Twitter was, Just based on my watching him and his live streams during that time, that he was looking for a thing to do while he ceded control over comma AI, to a new executive leadership group.

Fascinating! Struck by the experiences they had over-socialising the dogs, ruining them for their intended job as they wanted to be with humans too much. It's help me make sense of something that I had noticed before - a farmer I know has two dogs, a working dog and a pet. The pet is fawned over, the working dog is barely acknowledged in a way that seemed almost cruel to me. Just another reality of rural life. Perhaps the dog is no less happy for it.
OK thanks for the answer I guess. That seems like a lot of technical scaffolding to disqualify the use of a common, useful, and mostly accurate shorthand description of the current political arrangement there. I will continue to call it an occupation and continue to get called antisemitic for that probably.
Because no matter what you do... if you come back to it with hindsight there is always some improvement you can think of. Someone coming in after the fact and telling you where you could have done better is hindsight.

Take it as a gift. If someone didn't care about you and your work you would never hear a word.
At one point I contributed to "Odoo" (OpenERP). It essentially means having lots of Applications work against a single database so that everything about the whole company uses this single database.

ERP vendors generally have a whole bunch of standard applications ready. Things like inventory, sending out stuff, payroll (for X number of countries), ...
I don't understand how they are "biggest local authority by population in Europe". Surely Istanbul is larger.
I'm in the same age bracket as you, and I love the pacing of Alien and original Star Trek. I don't mind long panning cuts or ponderous establishing shots; it's like sustaining a note in music. Come to think of it, I also like downtempo electronic music, for example. In both media, taking their time to me equals feeling something deeply. And sometimes, giving space to think.

This can sometimes require more effort to pay attention so you actually do have thoughts on the material in those moments (and other times it comes easily), but that is its own reward afterward in a Type II fun sort of way, and it's generally the works that prompted you to have your own thought commentary that stick with you.

I'm not always in the mood for entertainment that requires me to do a little work for it, but slipping into this is a habit you can train (e.g. by visiting art galleries, and maybe watch some YouTube videos interpreting paintings beforehand to teach yourself a method - Nerdwriter1 is very modern and accessible), and it's ultimately very rewarding imho.

This is to say, I don't think it's the age of the piece. It's more likely taste (maybe you just didn't like it that much and/or it didn't have that much to offer you personally, which is fine, it's just a movie), mood, consumption habits, etc.
I'd be happy for that system to exist in the private sector. Can't say I'd be too happy to see the federal government have a monopoly of all transaction data and censorship powers though.
Depending on the breed "people-motivation" may not be much of a problem, especially if your hobby farm is on the same land as your home. In practice if the dog is around people a lot it needs to be socialized for their safety. Also, certain breeds (ahem, pyrenees) are just people-motivated regardless and need to be explicitly trained to stay with the animals. (We selected pyrenees for this reason as they are far safer around family than most other LGD breeds.)

The pressure-release paradigm is helpful here: use her people-motivation to your advantage. Give her attention and affection around the goats, praise her when she runs off "threats" (even birds), but if she abandons them and (for example) comes to beg for food from your picnic be very gruff and cold until she returns to her charges.

One final note is that a dog on watch may look "lazy" or like they are not watching their charges, but dogs rely on different senses (less sight and more smell and sound) and have their own alert threshholds. Our LGDs sit on our patio all day unless something comes around, and then they are immediately alert to it and running it off. At night, they are patrolling.

Aliens is one of the rare cases where the sequel is just as good and if not better than the first, and not just a cash grab.

Bill Paxton in Aliens was pure gold!
Leaving a snarky comment isn't constructive, it's just toxic. To answer your question: Try not to identify with the code you write and be grateful for any useful tips and pointers. Looking back your code from 6 months ago will almost always be shit. When it isn't you might've hit a plateau and should start worrying about that.
Hehe. Yeah, paper notepads would be nice, but they aren't big enough (they'd have to be tens of meters wide), and if I taped them together, they'd be difficult to handle. Also, erasing stuff is a pain. At one point I was considering using a wall paint for writing on the walls :).

Obsidian is probably a nice tool, but I'd like to have my rigid grid. Graphs are ok, but I don't like how inexact they are.

I'd like just to type, and click switching between cells.
Easily top 2 sci-fi for me. I'm not sure if it's my age (born in 84) but I prefer almost all the late 70s and 80s, early 90s sci-fi movies over newer stuff.

Predator, Thing, Total Recall, Alien, Aliens, Terminator, Original Star Wars, all in my top sci-fi films.
There's no way that's gonna happen unfortunately. The greens have absolutely dropped the ball in terms of big picture goals. We've been brainwashed into thinking nuclear power is dangerous and the problem of waste is bigger than the problem of having non renewable, oil based, energy. In hindsight I wouldn't be surprised if the oil lobby had a hand in that.
To be fair view update is a very hard problem in computer science. It's not as though it's just a lack of time to implement it.

You've seen benign instances, then. Every time I see a company do this kind of thing it takes one or more engineers nontrivial time to go update everything.
It does kinda seem like if it's flagged for investigation... like, eventually an investigation should happen, right? And then you either get your money back or are charged with a crime?

I get that that's not what actually happens, but it's pretty weird that it doesn't. They can't tell you about it because it's flagged for investigation. When's the investigation? Never.
When I wrote Reddit Gold (now called Reddit Premium) I intentionally left the paying-user table index-free, looking forward to the day it would become necessary.

This happens a lot. Another way of looking at it is that this is a successful outcome for Oracle, because they've hugely increased their billable hours.

Yes, but the interest payments on mortgages with variable rates had doubled. Now some people basically are paying interest only without paying off their principal amount.
the candle burning twice as bright burns half as long
I have zero problem with that. If your current gig is not a good fit for any reason, change it. I guess I mean it’s strange to me how some folks feel entitlement enough to think that their individual preference should be important enough to demand their employers accommodate them. i.e. they shouldn’t have to find another job.

It’s simply not the same thing as safe working conditions, ADA accommodations, etc… it’s a preference…and one mostly born out of the pandemic.

On the one hand, I totally understand.

On the other, it's pretty confidence-inspiring that they don't put stuff in until they're sure it's ready.
There is a correlation. Germany has the reputation of being very concerned with inflation, which happens when the amount of money in circulation grows relative to the supply of goods to buy. When there is a supply shock (such as this energy conflict), inflation is the natural result, but a concerned government can respond by increasing interest rates to reduce the amount of money in circulation. That way they get less inflation than they would have otherwise, at the cost of slowing down the economy.
Correct - the letter was signed by 11 out of 535 members of congress.

Before all this they had legal and fair election where they elected a terrorist org: Hamas.

Stop infantilizing an entire people. They are adults with their own agency. They are responsible for the decisions they make.

The reason a terrorist group runs things there is because they want it to. In fact, if elections were held today, Hamas would lose… to Islamic Jihad because they’re more radical. Support for Hamas has been waning in recent years not because they’re a failed government but because they’ve failed to deliver serious harm to Israelis. The reason Iran is active there is because their interests are aligned (destroy Israel). The reason PayPal doesn’t operate there is because the AML/KYC would be much too expensive for the amount of money they could possibly make on entering that market. The reason these “lawmakers” are agitating for this is because they hate the state of Israel.
At Michigan State University they have a Pezz Dispenser and a Moist Towlette museum. Found in the Obervatory.
You would tend to put the tape drive in the NAS, so backup from hosts to NAS over probably slow 1G ethernet, and backup from NAS disk(s) to tape periodically. Not writing from NAS to tape over ethernet, or from hosts direct to tape on the NAS.

Used 10G nics are pretty inexpensive these days, if you really want to write network to tape.
We go back and forth on what we should add to the platform vs encourage you to do for yourself. For example, you can do this yourself fairly easily with ntfy.sh: https://www.val.town/v/axelav.sendNotification

But wouldn't it be even nicer to have `console.push` in the platform and it'd then prompt you to accept notifications right from our desktop or mobile website? Maybe soon!
Then why are a lot of countries trying to get in it? Why didn't Greece go out when it had the chance?
Depends on your role and organizational goals. If you work in application security, it makes Deno harder to recommend, because then the recommendation (or perhaps even mandate) has to come with extra instrumentation in order to enforce the additional security the runtime is supposed to bring.

It also makes you question the priorities of the project, given that this is still early days. If the supposed focus on security is already being compromised on and whittled away today, would a recommendation to build with Deno even prove meaningful in 5 or 10 years?
Like much other media of its era & older, it's paced too slowly.

That's how many explosive rockets Palestine fired at civilian targets in Israel in 2022.

Sorry but that isn't remotely equivalent.
I was born in 1987 and don't think it is too slow at all.

Just don't pull your phone out while watching a movie and take some time experiencing the slowness. It might feel boring or torturous at first, but give it some time and you will begin to see the value in focus.

Sure the average audience of today has no attention span and needs constant flashy-action, but that doesn't mean you have to be a part of that.
On the flip side, a missing index can bring down production.

We experienced that just a couple of weeks ago, where a missing index and an unexpected 1000x increase in volume at a customer brought the DB to its knees. Sure it was still serving queries but at such a low rate it was effectively useless.

For queries that will be run more than once, I try make sure there's an index it can use for something fairly unique.
What do you mean by LinkedInSanity?
On the other side of things I prefer going solo to having someone that I don't resonate with. I've worked with people that just don't work together well with me and that causes burnout signicantly faster.
Congratulations, sincerely.

I'm glad that the company exists. I'm glad that smaller car manufacturers were exploring integrating the self-driving software, too.

And, from a celebrity media perspective, I think your engagement at Twitter was underreported especially in gossip mongering pseudo serious technology fan sites like this one.

It was an interesting shift for you, as you mature out of your first big startup into kind of a journeyman phase, in my view. (Tasting different experiences.) Something that is relatable to large numbers of us.

<< poorly communicated anecdote

You do have a point.

I feel vaguely attacked. See article[1]. Original title that you can still see in search engines, because it was only changed after pushback:

>>You need to detach and 'psychologically recover' from work, professors say. The solution: commuting<<

What I appear to be getting from your post is: 'No one is to blame. No one could be held liable for their actions. It is all sophistry.'

Which is funny, because I am willing to agree the system has perverse incentives to mess with things at numerous checkpoints, but you cannot realistically claim this, because researchers ( and indeed all humans ) like their jobs easy as well.

How about an app that shows a list of friends like below

Each of above name is hyperlinked and leads to a page where I can see all their updates. The count in bracket let's me know how many updates they have. This is not necessarily a suggestion for this app. I wish more social media apps adopted this approach instead of current time hogging feeds.
Why should I assume anything? We are what we are and we do what we can with what we have - imperfect as it is. Inactivity is way worse. By the way understanding all things (AI or whatever) is definitely not a requirement for the legislators. I'm sure you remember they have hordes of specialists in their staff and those will understand the aspects at hand to sketch recommendations.

I’m not sure it’s really paradoxical. Consuming and metabolizing food creates oxidative stress, and caloric restriction slows down your metabolism. As much as 21.4% over just two weeks [1], sometimes permanently [2]. Which is also why dieting fails the vast majority of people people, as they experience it as a plateau [3].

Eating less reduces your need for food ('adaptive thermogenesis'), and hence total oxidative stress load. This almost certainly reduces your risk of cancer and also more than likely slows aging. [4]

Interesting typo, “losing”.
Two things: Humility and Empathy.

Humility I may be wrong, Empathy that if I get it wrong the customer will suffer (in varying magnitudes, of course)

Some of my first programs were in C. 100s of Hours and millions of switch to terminal, gcc, error message beat it into me -- "The computer isnt wrong, I am" . Now I am ok with hearing "This code has properties you didn't anticipate" because that's been true millions of times. And it's produced the humility, that I can't get it right on first try, and it's rare I get it right even by 3rd or 5th try.

Instead we implement, seek feedback (from compliler, tests, peers, more tests, datadog), iterate.

And I like to remind myself also of empathy. Do my feelings matter if it's going to affect the customer? If I get reactive and refuse to solve someones feedback, the customer will suffer. If I get reactive too often, it will silence the feedback (but not improve my coding). The customer suffers, so for that reason My feelings do not get a vote.

Edit: I'd also like to note the religious link that people have lost a spiritual connection of their self-worth[1], and in it's place have adopted a professional and materialism meaning when their professional work is criticized, so is the root of their identity.

Edit: Ok "millions" was hyperbole. A better estimate is something like half a million compilations/builds in my ~20 yrs

I guess the reasons are more than just the interest rates. Interest rates kill off longer-term investments like building homes.

But there was also a rather steep hike in (mostly greed-caused) inflation of everyday goods and energy prices, official overall rate was slightly above 10%, but for foodstuffs it went above 20% inflation. At the same time, wages didn't keep up, raises were below 10%, often below 5%. Inflation-corrected disposable income went down roughly 10%. So consumers also have less money to spend on their day-to-day needs and of course reallocated all the spending on "extras" (like luxury items, organic foods, leisure), to the basics (energy and less expensive basic nutrition). Which can be seen e.g. at energy providers raking in the profits while e.g. gastronomy is in a bad place.
Great question!
