> I don't think it's too hard to learn a few new things every 3 years.

Do you think that in software development circles backwards incompatible changes only happen each 3 years?
You need to read, your argument is all over the place.

“I suppose, that’s [$400k] probably what you need to have a middle-class lifestyle up there [around Mountain View] too”

I showed this to be false. You will be plenty middle class at even 2/5 of that income, $150k, with still $44k disposable income.

It's irrelevant equating your purported housing cost (which was also shown to be false), $70k, is the median middle class income.

This whole thread is about, "you have to make sooo much money to be middle class", and we can debate the merits of that being a certain reasonable X% above median, like maybe each individual making $90k, or a single earner household of $130k. But it makes no sense to talk about what makes someone middle class around Mountain View to inject, "well my overestimate of a local housing cost is equal to median income elsewhere."

What does make sense, is if someone says it takes generating $200k-220k in disposable income to be middle class, to refute that argument by pointing out that income is so beyond the typical middle class American, because they are making 3x the money of a middle class American, if that middle class American had 0 taxes or housing costs, further illustrating how absurd that is.

Microsoft decided to name their consoles that way, because they didn't want their console to be one number behind the PlayStation.
The GPT4 cognitive leaps and breadth of knowledge seem impossible to replicate with any number of 13B models.

13B x10 might be the only feasible business model for your company, but that alone doesn't make it a superior option. Can you share more details on how the models work together?
There's definitely a certain irony to the oft-repeated mantra that software estimation is so hard, when you also have so many comments like this one where people are absolutely certain that projects are going to fail miserably!

The lack of a clear definition for bullshit jobs is my biggest problem with these sorts of discussions. The term seems to generic that everyone can apply it to something in their lives. For some it's "the job I'm personally doing is unfulfilling", while for others it seems to be "I don't see societal value in my work", and for others it's more about whole classes of jobs or work that could be removed for a better society.
That's a separate and in some circumstances a serious problem.

For instance, an art gallery takes a photo of an artwork that's out of copyright for reference/insurance and (a) doesn't allow photos in the gallery and (b) the photo which is copyright isn't on sale (as it wasn't intended for that purpose). So the out of copyright artwork is locked up from reproduction.

Variations on this theme are a problem with galleries and museums worldwide.
I totally agree with this, normally it should be the cost of any content website for clients. The site is fast, and we just need to deploy on one dedicated server or for free with simple maintenance cost per month these days.
We still do the same for small clients, with application building with us and want a content page for their blogs.
Yes, I would be fine with a shorthand syntax like that. But it's not available which makes checked exceptions more trouble than worth.
To expand on this, even the latest Nvidia 4090 card "only" has about 16k cores. That's a lot, but it's hardly "millions" either.
Shameless plug for Futhark[0], which you can use to write your computational kernels. The idea is to use functional constructs like map and reduce to express parallel code and let the compiler handle the generation of low-level OpenCL or CUDA.

Disclaimer: I've recently finished a PhD focused on memory optimizations in Futhark.

> Getting ahold of a working key has been a part of installing operating systems for a long time.

LOL what?
Basically all operating systems except Windows have never used keys
flat maps are not quite what many assume they are, some panacea for performance. In fact for most cases, you will still benefit from using the ordinary maps already provided in C++. In fact if you merely swap out std::map with std::flat_map, most code will start running much more slowly. They have a very specific, limited use case and for everything else, you should not make any changes.
> (...) any reasonable change (e.g. networking, fiber, reflection etc) (...)

Except those aren't small or simple or trivial or consequence-free.

Also, we're talking about standardizing current practices. You can do networking in C++ in a myriad of ways already, and none of which is standard.
Yeah I prefer my Amazfit too, though I have the GTS 2 mini. With its own companion app it's a horrible privacy leak but with gadgetbridge it's amazing.

I have a pinetime too but it's too rough around the edges for me. And I love the GPS tracks on the Amazfit.
Proton is operated by US agencies, CIA did that in the past with cypher machines.
I’m not really arguing that. I’m saying there is a trade-off between having the common OS feature set described above (Ctrl/Cmd-select, etc) and implementing/iterating a web/mobile product quickly. Often standard UI paradigms are never implemented or implemented inconsistently. AWS, widely known for their Agile practices, might be the epitome of this with their web console. Sometimes I can sort columns by clicking on them, sometimes I can’t. Some products allow shift or control click and some do not. Etc etc. I can only assume the product teams are doing their best within their constraints but as an end user it’s a piece of suck.
It's a good point, it's easy to cause contention and not realize it because of cache lines
Using a locally different sentence structure isn't a lack of fluency, it's just a different dialect.

Here in the UK every region speaks English differently. Sure, there's a kind of "standard" English spoken on TV, but the further you get from London the less it's spoken. It's not just a question of accents and local words for things, but of sentence structure too - for instance the Scots dialect has quite radically different ways of saying things than "standard" English.

The people who speak Scots are completely fluent in their local dialect. Just because the language they speak doesn't happen to correspond with the culturally dominant variant doesn't make them wrong.

I sometimes wonder what could've happened if he stuck to the 3d graphics space. He once was a great innovator, wolfenstein, doom then quake, he did some innovation in Rage / id Tech 5 with infinite texture streaming but it was full of technical issues. Ultimately around doom 3 / rage, it felt like id software wasn't anything special anymore, they were brought out and then he left Id.

Now the last major innovation in the space came from epic games / unreal engine.
Try it out in a VM and see for yourself.
Exactly. Suppose you have a front end system that captures user input, and then the backend communicates with another system using the input data. If not properly escaped and is concatenated then it can lead to an injection attack just like regular sql.

If you can adopt NixOS, then it's worth considering. But if you have to use a standard distro then Nix on its own won't solve your configuration-management problems.

To sum it up succinctly, I would say that Nix helps you manage $PATH while NixOS helps you manage /etc.
I didn’t say it came from Castellano! I’m saying they’re all three Spanish languages/dialects. Linguistically I would consider Gallego just as real a language or dialect as Castellano, it just happens that the central Spanish government historically made Castellano into their favored tongue and not Gallego.

Castellano is the official language of the Spanish government from eg https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Spanish_Academy and of course decades of repression of regional languages under eg the Franco regime. I don’t mean official as in “the true language” I mean official as in “the Spanish government/regime/royal dialect for centuries”. To the point many people as you mention equate Castellano with “Spanish” which is just not true - I agree with you

Maybe I am misunderstanding your comment but it's not me that is making Castillian "official" - I think it's bullshit that other Spanish languages aren't treated with more respect it's - the historical reality that it was accorded official status due to the political dominance of Castile and consequently the use of Castillian as a common tongue
I mean, to me it seems obvious that what you put into your body will either have a positive or detrimental effect on your body.
Why wouldn’t diet and exercise be the cornerstones of having a healthy life?
EDIT: This comment has significant inaccuracies.

Creole languages are more about "20 people speaking 20 different languages create a new common merged language", spanglish sound more like "20k bilinguals with varying preference between the 2 languages mix and match the 2 languages for convenience".

This assuming that most spanglish speakers could hold a conversation in either languages.

I've occasionally encountered projects using Nix, and I've casually browsed the Nix and NixOS websites, but I still don't have a clear idea of what Nix is.

Is it a package manager? A build system? An operating system? A container platform? A sandbox? An automation tool?

Which widely used, existing software tools is it analogous to?

Legs are expensive. You need at at least three high performance actuators plus position sensing etc. Each leg also adds weight and power drain.

“Two wrongs don’t make a right” is a moral play. There are definitely cases in history where wrongs made rights, two or more.

Some sort of moral balance has to be achieved before two forces can move forward. It will feel reasonable to both sides when it happens.
There's good reason for that though, where else is riding train roofs as common?

I think you romanticized the past.

> When the movie "Indie games" came out, this was the prime time to get indie games out.

> It's a marketeting's game now. So you probably want a publisher to be in charge of that...

Fact: Jonathan Blow, one of the devs featured in the movie "Indie Games", signed a contract with Microsoft way before Braid (one of the games featured in the movie) came out.

You want a publisher, or just someone else, to be in charge of something, if you're not very good at or interested in something. Big news, I know.
There’s plenty of old Norse in use for places in Yorkshire.

The dialect has words too such as, “ta” (thanks). It’s similar to the Danish word, “tak”.
Yes, it is inevitable at some level, but supporting 2 different stacks (result from acquisition) is better than 20 (result from "pick the best tool for the job" culture).
"At 10% threshold, assuming a 10-μs code cycle and non-local connections, one key can be generated every 10 minutes using 6000 modules with 1152 physical qubits each."

1152 qubits sounds like the D-Wave chips. So does that mean 6000 D-wave chips ?

Even if you reverse the calculation, that would be 60000 minutes on 1 chip, which is about 42 days only, so.
Quantum Too Good
JavaScript is hell.

You can get so much done with the basic supplied libraries when programming for .Net, JVM or Cocoa. What a giant leap back we made in terms of ecosystem and language by going for JavaScript everywhere.

The whole random time-based temporary bans cloaked as "posting too fast" is pretty screwed up. It's unclear what the restrictions are (as dang himself has told me) and you don't get the warning until _after_ you try to post once you've past the limit.

But yes I do agree with you that dang is kind of unusually responsive when you question him on his decisions. That, however, doesn't mean you'll find his reasoning all that compelling. Regardless, he runs the forum so he gets to censor it as he wishes.

So instead they chose three numbers behind the PlayStation, and 359 numbers behind its predecessor? Not sure I follow that reasoning. Not to mention they could just jump to the same number as PlayStation used, just like MS also skipped Windows 9.

That said all the jokes at the time likely helped make it clear to everyone that the Xbox One was the new model. And Series S/X is just two letters, nobody seems too confused by that.
Can those even perform shor's? I've read somewhere those are not suitable but I'm limited by a lack of actual knowledge here.
It looks like it's okay even technically! From a section marked "(since C99)":

> If the member used to access the contents of a union is not the same as the member last used to store a value, the object representation of the value that was stored is reinterpreted as an object representation of the new type (this is known as type punning). [...] Before C99 TC3 (DR 283) this behaviour was undefined, but commonly implemented this way.

As an interested observer, I would like to know more about what you're talking about - it's not trivial to find the T-Head RISC-V extensions or identify which ratified extensions are 'wacky opcodes' or related. I agree that the OP has a biased view in favour of RISC-V, but it's also natural to react strongly to attacks like "soup of wacky opcodes".

I can see that RISC-V has made some short-sighted decisions (like having no carry flag or equivalent), and has a good few ratified extensions. But how does it compare to other architectures? I think everyone would agree that x86/x64 is a soup of wacky opcodes; is modern ARM(+SVE) better than RISC-V in this regard?

Npm and yarn can't garbage collect transitive dependencies once they're unreachable from the explicitly installed roots? I think apt could do that since forever ago (with apt-get autoremove).

Maybe the officially supported way to prune the dependency tree is to blow away node_modules and then do npm install or yarn install. How stone-knives-and-bearskins.

German has "fahren" for both driving and riding a vehicle (although as always I'm never entirely clear how much of what I know about the language is specific to here in Berlin).

Perhaps I was too nice. Most VCs recommended dropping/settling the case, since

(1) it was only a year and many startups go bust anyway;

(2) the best people spend their energy on the future, not the past; and

(3) regardless of the facts, many people are wary of working with someone who sued his business partner personally. (As Trump shows, portraying yourself as the victim of a baseless lawsuit often elicits sympathy, while justifying bringing a lawsuit often requires a careful factual explanation.)

I disagree. There are still "true" indie games out there. Just the masses of games produced that call themselves "indie games" are not. Often it seems to be used as an excuse for an unpolished, boring and in the end shitty game.

You are right that it became a marketing game. It was a hype and everyone started to call its product an indie game. The solution however is not more marketing. It will automatically solve itself. Games made by passionate small dev teams that really love what they are doing will still produce indie success hits.
I would of guessed for server administration and allowing someone to remote in without actually joining the game based on other game servers in the past doing something similar. But that is just pure speculation.

Exceptions reinforce the rule. The other games that have Deluxe in their title have such strong titles, that the "Deluxe" part is often overshadowed. The article gives some examples:

* The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Deluxe

* Assassin's Creed 2 Deluxe

* Mass Effect 2 Digital Deluxe

When the fast cognitive System 1 [1] has to make an initial impression on a title, it uses all biases available to waste as little energy as possible to come up with an answer. "Unknown Deluxe" is very fast labeled as " janky cloned 5-minute games with 50c in the discount bin". "Assassin's Creed Deluxe" is just as easily labeled "some newer / improved release of Assassin's Creed".

I have shell script with bunch of common functions to simplify particular tasks and then main script that when ran installs all needed packages, creates / copies various config files, pulls my C++ code from repo and builds my servers and installs those as daemons. It also installs cron jobs that execute backups / replication. It is smart enough to skip already performed steps and can safely run multiple times. It can run on Debian, Ubuntu, Arch and Mint.

It is fast and reliable and can deploy new infra and or restore state of that from backup. I use it for years without any problems.
