Considering this as a possibility is anything than "fundamentally disrespectful and ignorant".

I've known lots of developers who thought that some broken, slow, erratic, or stupid, program or OS behavior is the normal, because that's what they've been used to. They could be great programmers too, they just didn't venture much outside the stuff they used.

As for the diatribe, I don't care for this recent trend of perceiving something somebody said as some kind of abuse of "therapy speak" (before this comment I've seen a few stories about some actor "abusing therapy speak" and such lately, so I assume it's some new fad going on). I don't read about therapy, or had any therapy speak in mind. "Internalized" has been used for decades as a term, and here just means "accepted this lag as the baseline as they don't have a frame of reference". Might not even be the right word, I probably was looking for normalized (is that therapy speak too?). So there's that.
Importantly, Tesla’s maps is not Google Maps. It’s powered by it sort of as a data provider but it does its own rendering, map management and some routing adjustments.

It’s actually one reason why I wish Tesla had CarPlay because even though their maps is okay, it’s quite far behind the first party Apple or Google Maps implementation .

GDP per capita is a poor measure. I have seen things this year that I would never have thought I'd see outside of wartime. Ambulances never showing up or taking half a day if they do. Rationing of basic vegetables at the store. The return of diseases of vitamin deficiency.

>>:All this to say, any sort of competition on pricing is totally orthogonal to competition on product. Uber and Lyft handily won the product battle against cabs.

Pricing may be orthogonal to product, but both are needed profitability. You gotta have something people want AND make a profit.
> how do you define 'value' exactly here?

I suppose in the same way the dictionary does – the importance or worth of something.

When one has something they hold important, they won't want to give it up. If you expect others to continually give up something they deem important and not offer them anything in return (or only offer things they do not see as being as important), they are going to quickly grow disgruntled.

If the government took control of Reddit, it still needs people to operate. Not just developers, but people to build computers, people supplying power to run the servers, people providing connectivity, etc. along with other resources that people have. Generally, these people a high importance on their time and other resources. You need to offer something pretty compelling to get them to give it up – they will look for a fair trade.

That means other people need to give things up in return to make it a fair trade. Food is usually a pretty compelling offer. Most people will give up important things if you offer food[0] in exchange[1]. Is r/farming compelling enough to get farmers to give up their food for? Not likely.

Yes, a government can point a gun at their backs and tell them they must give up food to the workers at Reddit. And that might work for a while, but eventually they will become disgruntled as described before. "I'm slaving in the fields all day and all I get is a few minutes on r/farming before bed in return? That's not fair!" they will start to cry. This is when you'll start to see protests, conflict, and perhaps even a fall of government.

[0] Replace food/farmers with any other compelling good/service.

[1] In practice, you'll offer money. But remember money is just an IOU. Everyone will ultimately redeem a portion of the IOUs they collect for food.

> but obviously it would be harder to collect donations to run Reddit

Seems that way. Gold was effectively their attempt at that, but it doesn't appear to have amounted to much.

> I agree, that's really the crux of it and it's too bad.

Is it? Discussion forums are a commodity.

Reddit didn't do anything Usenet wasn't already doing 30 years earlier, other than providing a client with better UX. But arguably clients like Apollo provided even better UX than Reddit and, based on what came out of that drama, it appears Apollo was taking an even larger share of the net value than Reddit.
I didn't see this observation in the comments so chiming in. Your 'team-of-one' comment resonated with me. Another way to frame what you're saying is that you're years behind when it comes to professional development working together on a team of engineers.

The phrases 'driving me nuts' and 'them being completely ineffective' are what reinforce this view, to me at least. They may be working far less hard on the code than you are, but it sounds to me like you're working far less hard on being a good teammate and given your history that may take time.

To be completely honest it sort of sounds like you're taking stimulants and they aren't, at least from the way you wrote this up. Get in, get good work done, get out. If you work remotely, all the better. Do some laundry, read a book. Meet and exceeding expectations sounds like about half of what you're getting done and getting worked up about (which I assume is tanking your mood into your evenings).

Focus on the soft skills and be a part of raising your team's morale (yourself included) rather than torpedo-ing it. I suspect the look on your face in some meetings says everything you wrote up here already.

I've never lost any unfinished messages due to this. I'm pretty sure Chrome prioritizes tabs where you've typed in text. Link in that other comment suggests that Firefox does something similar: "This is a smart process that avoids unloading tabs that are playing media, using Picture-in-Picture, or WebRTC. For more technical information, see this blog post"

And yeah fuck infinite scroll. I usually interact with such sites via their API or data export. Eg searching my YouTube Likes playlist is impossible on the web because I'd have to spend an hour scrolling before I can Ctrl+F

I really like this view of academic research in general. The field does not exist as a means unto itself, but as a tool for helping and contributing to humanity. A service mindset. That's how I have always viewed both research and teaching.

The most frustrating part of academia, and one of the main reasons I left, was the sense that everyone had completely lost their service mindset. The result is a set of sclerotic institutions -- protected from competition by rules and norms motivated by an ostensibly noble purpose -- wrecking havoc on society.

In research, in particular, it's now rare to find researchers who really give a damn about anyone except themselves. Their PhD students are tools for increasing faculty influence. The motivation section of their grants are polite lies and everyone knows it. The whole thing is a big inside joke that people laugh about in elevator bays, backed by billions of taxpayer dollars. The selfishness and complete disinterest in stewardship of public funds is nauseating.

But things are worst in undergraduate education. You occasionally meet someone worried about the educational mission, but no one was ever interested in the overall well-being of students. Financial well-being, in particular, is a verboten topic. The question of whether a particular degree program might be doing irreversible and crippling financial damage to nearly every student is considered rude. The question of whether requiring a certain course might be a waste of a customer's money is derided ("they aren't customers!", despite paying mid 5 figures per year for shockingly little face-to-face time.)

Academia has completely lost its historically service-oriented pursuit. The faculty are motivated by a combination of laziness, entitlement, and ego. The administration is motivated by the same incentives as any other industry. But huge quantities of tax dollars are locked up in this broken and corrupt industry.
This is a terrible take, if you are passionate about your work then those 8 hours go a whole lot quicker. If you’re not passionate then I would question if the position is a good fit
it can be read as "this has already been posted" instead of "prior art" when the latter isn't explicitly specified
I don't get this, none of Uber, Lyft, AirBnb, Vrbo, Hellofresh, Blueapron DoorDash, Postmates, Casper, Instacart, Carvana have driven their competition out of business and people are still choosing them. It costs nothing all all to not use them and you at all times could have switched back to whatever you did before.
I moved my personal projects to Gitlab. Philosophical issues aside, it’s a great product.

Also, having borderline burnout maintaining popular open source projects on GitHub, there is refreshingly near zero issues filed on my Gitlab projects.

Fewer people already have accounts on Gitlab, creating a small barrier to participation, and sometimes that’s a good thing.
There's also a marketing video for those interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9Ww_7wwNkM
Your concerns are not entirely unreasonable, and I say this as a car enthusiast temporarily in remission (parent of young children). Some of the things you mention do indeed make the vehicle less safe to those around it. However:

Where I believe you are missing a critical point is in assuming that the overall situation with a modern and “safe” vehicle is better. You’ve got entertainment systems, touch screens, driver aids (reducing the need for concentration), quite possibly child-sourced distractions (even when they are not screaming, they can be plenty distracting).

Now add to that the weight of a modern vehicle and the owner’s relative lack of concern/awareness/love for it, and to assume that someone driving around in a somewhat ragged antique is necessarily the bigger hazard could… potentially be open to debate.
Looks like the site and store are getting the hug of death. People really want this!

Is your manufacturing going to be able to keep up with demand?
Yes, but Cornell lives in a small city.

Concrete example for my city. Going from the east end to the west end took over 2 hours. And most of it was on the rail system - so not competing with traffic. But it involved one transfer for the train, and another for the bus near the end of my destination.

Frequent stops - by both the train and the bus, as well as the stops, made it take a lot longer. In my case a car would have done it in about 40 minutes.
Interesting. I actually switch to Chrome specifically if I need to use the developer tools. What do you prefer about the Firefox version?
For me, being stuck in traffic with an automatic is more cognitive load than a stick. I'm always overthinking my inputs..."if I'm extra light on the throttle here, it may stay in gear and not shift since I know I'm stopping in 100m and I don't want constant up/down shifts"

In my truck (automatic), when I'm climbing up to the Eisenhour tunnel, I want it to stay in 4th gear and I'll just give it more throttle, but it won't do that, it thinks it's smarter than me and downshifts to 3rd and I need to hear the engine scream all the way up the mountain. I always try to find the sweet spot for throttle input to keep it from down shifting which means that I'm running about 5mph slower than traffic, and that's annoying.

Since my only inputs are throttle and brake, I'm always trying to find the combination of those to put the transmission in the gear that I want it in rather than just sliding the stick and putting it in the right gear.
You can click the dots and get a link to what was changed in that commit. e.g. in the sudden bump after April there is a 4 part cache related patch linking to the issue tracking ID which describes (in human terms) additional jit caching mechanisms.
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I feel like these DOD posts should always mention that the ideas are borne out of experience in game engine development and don't necessarily easily apply in other domains.

In some general sense the principles are applicable everywhere. But trying to actually apply them in some domains is really difficult. For example, I work on developing a large scale ML training framework and I haven't seen an example where avoiding the use of objects and inheritance leads to better code. Having said that, the principles certainly apply lower down the stack when talking about implementing the GPU kernels etc on the hot path.
"Possibly carcinogenic" in WHO terms basically means "someone once did a study that may have found a possible link, so we can't prove that it's totally not carcinogenic".

To put it in starker contrast, there is a category that is "probably not carcinogenic." There is literally nothing on that list.
Yes because a null hypothesis cannot be proven. Basic science.
Does GitHub use code from private repos for AI training?
In my controversial opinion: yes they're bad for servers. Not just because they're single threaded but because they're interpreted and have dated tooling. Compiled languages have reached a DX level that I see no reason to use something interpreted in 2023 unless you really are building a web page and need to use js in the browser.
There's an argument to be made, if reality isn't discrete (can be represented exactly by rational numbers) but continuous (can be represented by real numbers) you can represent programs that cannot be represented in a discrete way like a Turing machine. For instance the typical proof that the halting problem is unsolvable relies on there being just a discrete infinite amount of programs.
Either you discovered it within the 10~ish days it exists or someone is fudging the timeline...
From my granted limited understanding Adam is basically gradient decent combined with heuristic search.
I wonder if the people fearing AI get it that we haven't made machines that can actually feel/think/reason yet, they are still Chinese Rooms[1]. Even people like our lord and saviour Elon Musk (snort).

It would be utterly stupid to hook up ChatGPT to nuclear missiles. But then again, the same cluelessness above might lead people to believe that if the machine says "You need to hook me up to the nukes", the human might think, "The Computer surely knows what it's talking about, OK!".

Don’t worry buddy, nobody is going to try and steal it. They will just back into it with a SUV in every parking lot you dare to enter.
To me that is exactly a failure of usefulness that makes those tools less valuable and counts towards avoiding them. It's probably very difficult to quantify what is lost vs what is gained by buying in to things like that, but "difficult to quantify" doesn't mean there's nothing there. It's not even the fixed typo that's the valuable lost thing, it's the frictionless discovery or creation of a whole new useful developer or ops admin.

Also the value of allowing people to take pride in and care about their work, which is your product. What's that worth? Hard to measure but I will confidently say it's a lot.
If anyone is interested in building a competitor to GitHub based on mercurial, please reach out. Email in bio.
I mean, they're also just kind of fun. Suppose you are building a CLI tool just for yourself, Deno is way more fun than Bash, say. Especially if your usecase starts to get into like tree traversals and stuff.

Predatory is selling at below cost of manufacture. You do it in a way that is unsustainable with regard to making and offering of the product. Much of tech's unsustainable pricing is that they cannot maintain the growth of the company at that pricing forever. Which, tracks, as they also cannot sustain that growth forever.

Don't hash tables typically have only a set number of buckets a given key can use, in contrast to a fully associative structure?

Overwhelming AI
I am learning ML for significant amount of time and soon I will be joining the industry to start a corporate life. Still I always have that feeling that I haven't learnt enough and need to try harder which later leads to procrastination. I was just wondering, have you ever been through this phase or it's just me?
I don't think you sound snarky. I think it's easy to look at an issue like this through a cultural lens. Heavy tint is indeed popular among jerks.

As for necessity, studies suggest that skin cancer rates vary according to the side of the road a country drives on. [1] So even if you're tolerating the radiation it's still hurting you.

It's also important to remember that paneled vans are legal. They are taller than any car and the visibility through them is 0% because there are no side windows. Frequently the back window is covered or blocked by equipment.

You pretty much have to assume you can't accurately see through any vehicle. Seeing the driver's eyes can be useful, but it can be misleading... I've been hit on roller blades by a driver who'd stopped and was looking right at me but didn't process I was there.

I think every car on the road has to be treated like a panel van. Big opaque block that can kill you and will act unpredictably.

Yeah that’s true. Google built a community around Google Maps and Google Reviews.
I love your landing page by the way. It explains the app while giving a playground/demo at the same time. This is a very cool way to showcase your site. Well done!
The drivers are for sure making money now.
But there was a long period where the rides were like 80% cheaper than they are now, in which they clearly were not, all-in if they ran the math.

The problem is between the variability, Uber sign on bonuses, insurance arb, bad bookkeeping on their vehicle wear&tear.. it likely wasn't transparent for them.

Basically they had positive looking cashflow I'm sure, but had large unpredictable costs that likely set their hourly rate below minimum wage.
So, it's a form of superstition?

Here's some community information regarding Maddy and Stalwart

https://devboard.gitsense.com/stalwartlabs?repos=imap-server...

https://devboard.gitsense.com/foxcpp?repos=go-jmap,maddy,mai...

Not sure if Stalwart recently got funding, but the number of participants shot up in the last week. Stalwart's popularity (stars/watch events) also shot up like crazy about 5 weeks ago.

Note, I'm not indexing the code history for both projects right now (they are queued but they probably won't be indexed for another hour or two) so the community insights is incomplete.

Austerity means to aggressive CUTS to spending in many different sectors. Much, much worse than not keeping up with rising maintenance demands.

The UK for example made deep cuts to healthcare and education, cost a lot of people jobs right at the worst possible time (on the heels of the Great Recession). Many smaller worse off countries did even worse.

The austerity in Europe was far, far worse than anything that was happening in the US. The US government finance establishment for whatever reason was not infected by that particular bug. The US passed a large stimulus bill and in general was in a stimulus mindset.

Europe on the other hand thought it could cut its way out of a crisis.

Idk, every public transit system I've been on operated on barely above honor system for fares. Nearly every time someone gets on a bus where I live and their card doesn't work, the driver let's them on anyways and they just shrug. Seattle's monorail system doesn't have any apparent enforcement from what I could tell (I can't speak for their busses, haven't used them in quite awhile).

Most of the systems/employees you mention will be employed or paid for/installed anyways. Do you think that people go to jail or even get anywhere near the DAs desk for a parking ticket? Why would jumping a turnstile be treated different from the legal standpoint.

Systemd is a big one, a diminished experience is not the issue, deviance from core unix principles and chasing market share instead of pleasing existing users was the big problem i observed.

For example, OpenRC had comparable boot times as did systemd and it was modern and stuck to the "do one thing" principle. Systemd was chosen because lennart and corporate/rhel people who have influence and a financial interest in expanding market share pushed it. Just like how things are done at apple and microsoft.
9 years ago I spent a significant amount of time in Dublin and was impressed by how the local taxi drivers integrated with Hailo. The app allowed you to call a cab from an out of the way location, you could see where the cab was, and you pay (and tip) in the app. If Yellow Cab had adopted this 10 years ago, Uber would be a cautionary tale like pets.com.
