I think Americans workers are willing to tolerate conditions of exorbitant wealth disparity for at least two reasons.

I think most likely most American workers feel pretty helpless, like pawns in a game they can't exercise control over. They likely do not think of themselves as tolerating wealth disparity. They most likely think of themselves as enduring something they simply can't fix.
or just offer the hardware exclusively on Apple Cloud.
MacOS is actively hostile ( I still remember when they dropped cocoa or carbon or whatever it was, many apps died that day ).

Linux isn’t hostile and if you ONLY use the kernel ABI or statically compile everything, it will work quite a long time.

But if you use dynamic libraries, you gonna have a hard time unless you have source.

I pursue an investment strategy that would make those tricks highly risky, and or inconvenient. The tradeoff is that I believe I make more money the way I'm doing it, including the taxes I pay.

You could, but I doubt anyone with budget responsibilities is going to appreciate you making hiring more difficult and expensive.
Oh that's exciting! Thanks for sharing. I might play a bit more when that is released.

I just pulled up my OSRS Google doc "backlog" and it's a few pages of things tracking what I should do next. The game really scratches that itch of crossing items off a TODO list.

The biggest advantage is the shape which drastically reduces air resistance and 3 wheels which reduces rolling resistance. Everything else in an EV is almost as efficient as it can possibly be. Aptera is about 100Wh/mi while a tesla model 3 is 200-250.

Weight/rolling resistance would be second so battery gravimetric density and better tires is the next thing to improve. We can probably get small sedans slightly under 200Wh/mi or 5 miles for every kWh.
Good point! If you are under oath don’t give testimony that your average juror would take to be a willful and knowing lie.
Transforming Sentiment Analysis in the Financial Domain with ChatGPT
I grew up in the suburbs, and it was a noteworthy occurrence when someone saw someone they knew out and about at the store or something like that.

Now I live in the city and with so many more people around I see people I know so much more often. It really makes you understand how isolating the suburbs can become.
What are you using to generate SBOM these days?
Unfortunately, this is not my experience. I work with many immigrant software developers, and the vast majority have not realised that they have to switch to an "ask" approach.

They will say "yes" to everything, no matter what, and then never ever ask a followup question.

For example, if assigned a task that I know they cannot possibly complete (i.e.: due to a lack of access), they'll say "yes" and then... I won't hear from them again.

A week later, the conversation will go like this:

"Have you started on the task?"

"Yes."

"How? I haven't seen you log in to the source control system, and thinking about it, I don't think you have access."

"Yes."

"So, do you have access?"

"Yes."

"How? Can you check out the source code successfully?"

"Yes."

"Can you show me what you've done."

"Umm... yes."

"That's an empty folder!"

"Yes, I don't have access, so this is all I can do."
Absolutely, I fully agree. Regardless of whether they are "evil" or not, they need to be reigned in.
You can use a "threading model" with readiness-based or completion-based non-blocking IO. There are (userspace-)threaded runtimes based on epoll/etc. and also those based on io_uring/IOCP/etc.
The more crap they shove in, the more some manager can boast about "improving security". And no one in the company wants to be the one saying no to "more security" so no one pushes back.

> Dealing with Windows dev environment is always a PITA eventually - unless you're doing stuff where Windows is first class citizen (like games). For backend stuff it's almost implicit that you're running on Linux in prod and macos is well supported because it's fairly similar. On Windows it's always some path issues, stuff randomly breaking between updates, missing/incompatible CLI, etc.

YMMV but my experience is the opposite. Windows is a perfectly usable dev environment. The only time I face issues is when developers don’t choose to use cross platform tools.

> Chocolatey is garbage.

I’ll give you this one, but that’s why anyone serious on Windows is using scoop.
The Hyper-Threading setting is also present even if Intel N200 doesn't have it.
I grew up in the guess mode but I disagree with you.

People guess and assume wrongly all the time despite their best intentions. It's not transactional to ask on a long shot - at least it doesn't have to be. Obviously don't be annoying, don't ask people for what you know will put them out or make them feel awkward. But in absence of signal - send your signal and let it play out.
This is exactly it. If you call native windows things, they’re there (ignoring deprivation of win16, etc).

But if you call gnome libraries, they’re probably long gone.

Did they refuse to take your money? That seems unusual.

They could have taken your money, and written your name on the underside of the chair with a Sharpie pen.
And yet we manage to keep ourselves reasonably informed. I subscribe to one of the major papers, and avail myself to a variety of mainstream sources. I can count on the fingers of one hand the times, over multiple decades, that I've ever looked back on an issue and felt that I had actually been misinformed. "You made one tiny mistake so your entire organization is discredited" would have been an unreasonable reaction.

So I think that Gell-Mann Amnesia, while amusing, is overblown.
That part worried me, too. The inherited situation was not good, but I think it may have set the stage for some reactionary heroics that were also somewhat unhealthy.

Jumping from one extreme (completely broken development process) to another (threatening to voluntarily resign if arbitrary deadlines aren’t hit) just feels like a sequence of unhealthy extremes driven more by ideology than practicality.

It’s great that the process worked out, but I’d not be happy to work under either team to be honest. Plenty of teams manage to ship working code without either of these problems.
Have you ever talked to a teenager? Also, if you’ve ever used Xbox, you’d know that their moderation at best is bad. People using literal slurs don’t get punished, while dropping an f bomb at no one in particular can get you banned.
Async is a bit trendy right now and in my experience has a way of infecting a codebase. That said, I like the way it reads for server code. In a project I'm working on, we use both: explicit threads and channels the CPU-bound work and an async REST server on a single thread for handing requests and reading the database. It works nicely. But we do have a clear separation boundary between the two. Also, here's a related post that surprised me. Poster says spawning a thread per connection works fine for their server at 50K+ connections. Context switching and spawns not a problem? Maybe not always. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17593699/tcp-ip-solving-...
Using facing meaning they have a UI. Even the simplest of which has some degree of CSS and generally a bit of JS. Unless you want to go back to the jquery and vanilla CSS days, which I can promise you none of the your developers will thank you for, you need a frontend build of some kind.
I can see that being manipulative too but it’s also a cultural difference. That’s the crux of the article in a way. Some are of these things seem offensive and annoying but are rather normal for other cultures.

It is completely impossible that people drove all these animals extinct with sharp sticks. People lived in the Americas for thousands of years without affecting them noticeably, and then they all disappeared suddenly, 30+ genera strong, along with the Clovis people.

We know from polar ice cores that the Americas were shrouded in dense smoke 12,800 years ago from fires started by the comet strikes at that specific time. Central and South America are certainly susceptible to massive wildfires, like anywhere shrouded with combustibles.
There's two ways to understand that. What I think is the likely intention is the requirements may change, such that pieces that currently don't do much computation start to do a lot. Easiest one to think about is adding encryption. Your http server may have been bottlenecked on disk or network i/o, but your https server may be bottlenecked on cpu; not a great example because the cpu work in TLS is in bits and pieces and will probably share nicely.

The other way is that sometimes a little more load perturbs the system so things take a lot longer. I've had systems that work fine until you hit X% cpu, then it jumps to 90%+, because of say lock contention; sometimes N is 80% so whatevs, but sometimes it's 25%, and then you need to find and fix the bottleneck.
Thank you! I didn’t realize tildes was open source. That’s really cool.

One of my all time favorite examples of simple systems is Lumen, which was written by Scott Bell: https://github.com/sctb/lumen

It took years of study to understand just how large the ratio was of functionality vs size.
Your time zone can reveal your location. WebRTC can reveal your IP address.
What? The total opposite is true! 'async/await' is callback hell. It's the barest syntactic sugar over it, but it's definitely callback hell. You write code sequentially if you use threads (whether they're userspace M:N or N:1 threads, or 1:1 kernel threads).
Yup, that’s the example I cited above.
I think it's fair to be upset when Wikimedia begs for donations to fund Wikipedia and then takes those donations and doesn't fund the continued operations of Wikipedia and instead gives these donations to completely different charitable organizations. All the while continuing to ask visitors for donations constantly, despite clearly having more money than they actually need.
You think we can solve problems otherwise but you never explain what is wrong with income ceilings. Why can't we build more houses and our a ceiling on income.

Here's a dirty secret in case you say all the billionaires will run away with their wealth. They aren't worth much.

Bezos isn't Amazon and if he was never born those people would work somewhere and the online store market would be divided somehow.

Billionaires harness labor and capture demand they create little of it then most of the benefits accrue to people who buy things not build things.

The version of it's a wonderful life starring Bezos has him stumbling around Bedford falls marveling that virtually nothing has changed and terminates with him begging Clarence to put him back because he misses his yacht.
During the early days of Covid, Microsoft bought me an Aeron chair with all the bells and whistles. It didn't even take any convincing. They just said "here's $$$$ kid, go buy yourself some office equipment"
I think what you describe in the flip side of this. If I assume guess culture, then you asking me something implies that you reasoned out that I should give it to you. That puts a lot of expectations on me and I feel like I am going to really upset you if I say no.

Meanwhile you may have just asked me on a long shot.
The worst offender I’ve seen for this is OnShape. I totally get them suspending the session for GPU usage reasons but there’s no reason I need to reauthenticate 80 times a day when taking 15 minute breaks away from the computer to go look at a machine.
It may be true with embedded applications or with Windows. Not on a Mac.
> This is about changing policy via democratic process that changes incentives and structures that allow this to happen in the first place, not by chopping off the heads of rich people.

What do you propose get changed? A cap on how much you can make? A cap on where you can invest? A cap on how you can spend?
What’s annoying and completely unnecessary is aggressively short session times on resources that are already behind a VPN and multiple layers of security, such as an RDP session, making you constantly re-authenticate throughout the day if you happen to turn your attention away from it for a few minutes. In fact, having to re-authenticate for multiple services throughout my workday day really adds up.
There are other concerns as well related to cost of living.

Even though we would like people to live outside the cities, cities attract a lot of potential parents. They end up in a situation where they have a long education and start their careers late and don't have the financial capability to get a decent family friendly apartment in the city. Many wait until it's almost too late, and having more than 1 or 2 is definitely not something most wants

The average age of first-time mothers is over 30 years old. A single child may be something the family can handle, but more than 1 or 2 forces the families to move outside the cities to be able to afford a house in addition to hurting the mother's career.

Tldr:

- Cost of living in the cities are too high

- If a second (or third) child forces them to move out of the city, many increasingly choose the cities

- Having more than one child after 30 will have a negative impact on the career as they simply can't work as many hours and has to spend long periods away from work
Sim City 2000 used DOS/4GW though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOS/4G :

Fork and IO performance are major problems when porting *nix software to Windows. It's visibly slower, one of the reasons WSL1 was way too slow to be used for many things while technically being a clever solution.
Fine. There's no systematic dance, like more socially stoic cultures. New England and Southern cultures being the prime contrast; but you could use the caste system of India as an extreme contrast, if you like.

Every interpersonal relationship has its own dance, no matter where you're from. That's what socializing is.
Seems like it’d actually decrease security as now there are several different “root” logins that could be compromised.

Though I suppose, with further thought, it’s not significantly worse than having them in sudoers, in that particular respect.
First, some software literally refuses to run as uid 0.

Second, it can still be useful for bookkeeping.
How do you even possibly examine the counter factual?

As someone born in Russia, I can assure you that since the 1980s everyone in Russia became well aware of Chernobyl. In my oblast there were furious protests against the construction of a nuclear power plant, and Chernobyl was likely their main cause. My parents told me some horror stories about the cleanup crew of Chernobyl when I was a kid.
This sort of defeatist thinking is a plague in America. Consider local city councils who decide on approving special permits for housing. You might opt out from voting and some nimby joins and whoops there is another huge development that doesn’t happen, meanwhile rent continues to increase.
What you've described sounds like the 'Guess culture' side to me — you're anticipating the impact on me & asking for something that you intuit is nbd.

Let's say though that you felt like a beer. Would you ask for one?

To me, it'd feel quite rude to ask for something like that (what if you don't have any, will it make you feel bad? What if you have some but you were saving them for something or they're very expensive?)

But from what I understand of what the author describes as Ask culture, it'd be seen as nbd for me to ask you for a beer and also no big deal for you to refuse it in turn.
I tried adding layer. The conclusion is, it's useful if you cannot train the whole model at once. Then you can split it in 2 and train the first half, with embedding/deembedding layers. After it stops improving add the second half of the layers, and train only it, freezing everything else. This worked in my case, when model params number < 10% of the number of training tokens. Splitting model in 3 is significantly less effective. Don't know why, but the third part adds almost nothing in accuracy and a lot in training time.

One thing where additive training works is fine tuning, like LoRA. But that's different. It's like poor man's way. For those who cannot train the whole model. Most likely uptrainig it whole is more efficient, just my guess.
My version of this problem is when there are violin scenes in movies/TV shows. It’s immediately clear when someone is not in sync with the music, has bad form, and generally just doesn’t know how to play. It just zaps me out of the scene.

However, if the scene/actor actually knows how to play, then it’s an awesome surprise and I have even more respect for the scene.

The most recent example of the latter is in Ted Lasso, when Nate plays the violin - it’s legit and a great scene.

Nothing is stopping one from versioning and packaging their dependencies. Then there is no work to maintain anything and you can address any other changes with your own code if you like.

Libraries can change as well. Frameworks are just that, a bunch of libraries.
Walking the dog is sort of the meat space version of having an article to discuss online. It facilitates having a thing to talk about, to politely bond over without being overly personal, an excuse for the interaction so you don't sound like a creepy stalker for talking to a stranger for no reason.
Oops, missed that, I came in from the comments link.
If you have to resort to a proxy (fiddler) then you are making changes. You do not get to sample unblemished data. Perhaps that is OK for the snag/issue in question but may not be.

Port mirroring/SPAN/RSPAN is the only way to be an observer without affecting the traffic you are inspecting. Fiddler literally does a man in the middle attack.

If you don't have access to a private key for a TLS exchange and stream, then you cannot do quite a lot of diags.

In the end, Fiddler and the like might do the job but to really get close to the wire requires full knowledge and a much lighter touch. That will be a port SPAN/mirror and Wireshark and a private key.

Ah, remember the days when the Internet still held infinite promise? When we outright dismissed that it's possible for China to control its own internet?
When we could imagine that giant corporations would take over the world, but could not imagine that these same corporations would turn the internet into three boring, humdrum walled-off corporate gardens? When we believed that access to all this information would bring in a new age of enlightenment? When we could imagine open source, but could not imagine that corporations would just siphon up all that free labor?

So you've defined idiomatic Go code in your own way, that no one else's definitions match with, such that no idiomatic Go code actually exists. If no idiomatic Go code exists, then it's definitionally true that all idiomatic Go code is without flaws, but I don't agree with your personalized definition of idiomatic Go in the first place.

>That may be true, but of no relevance.

So you agree with this, and it rebuts the entire contents of the first post I responded to. I wonder why you were posting irrelevant, off-topic content yourself. But I'm glad you finally agree that Go isn't flawless.
> Of course, someone will respond moving the goal posts about how it’s different

It's very different though, we're talking about either workers under the same company, or citizens within the same country.

Both of which have social contracts binding the people within those organizations.

If you're working for one of these companies, it's your potential comp going to that CEO. You've also contributed to that income with your work at the company. There's more entitlement and reason to feel like the CEO isn't pulling in the weight of it's comp. That you're not getting the same comp to value ratio. That you could do better or just as good a job as them, etc.

Similarly, as a citizen, you might feel they're not producing value to society proportional to their wealth. That they're not paying their fair share, etc.

If some poor person in Africa had also entered in a similar social contract, they'd have similar rights to complain about your big tech salary relative to theirs. And you might be more concerned about it as well, you might be asking for better social welfare or free healthcare for example, to help them out. Or discuss changes to tax brackets. Etc.
Depends what you mean by larger. The example that occurs to me is the priblem of determining whether or not an integer is prime. This can be done relatively quickly for numbers of the form 2^p-1 where p is prime, but would take much longer for a much smaller prime not of this form.
