That seems bad for business.
Very interesting, do you know where I can read more about that?
It's a good point, and the way my library is designed now it would be a big resource hog. Not sure the best way to handle that given that it's supposed to be a super easy to use library for Python. Perhaps I could add an optional parameter "no_resource_hogging" or something, and if enabled that can ratchet down the amount of parallelism, or reduce the CPU priority of the threads to a very low level so it won't use up all the system resources. The problem with the latter approach is that it starts being system specific. For example you could do something like this:

fn create_low_priority_pool() -> rayon::ThreadPool {
ThreadPoolBuilder::new()
.start_handler(|_| {
#[cfg(target_os = "linux")]
{
use libc::{sched_param, sched_setscheduler, SCHED_IDLE};
unsafe {
let mut param: sched_param = std::mem::zeroed();
param.sched_priority = 0;
sched_setscheduler(0, SCHED_IDLE, &param);
}
}
#[cfg(target_os = "windows")]
{
use winapi::um::processthreadsapi::SetThreadPriority;
use winapi::um::winbase::THREAD_PRIORITY_LOWEST;
unsafe {
SetThreadPriority(std::ptr::null_mut(), THREAD_PRIORITY_LOWEST);
}
}
})
.build()
.unwrap()
}

But I don't know how that would work for MacOS. Anyway, it's something to think about.

I'm intrigued as to what you mean by 'incapable of acquiring the phonemes of a new language'. If that is the only limit on adult language acquisition, then it seems like it would follow as a native English speaker, I should be able to learn Japanese to a higher level than a native speaker of Japanese would be able to learn English. That is because Japanese only has a few sounds that English doesn't, whereas English has a lot more sounds than Japanese.

Something about that doesn't feel right, so I hope you will be able to explain if I am missing something. However, were it to be true, it sounds like the best way of 'futureproofing' children's early language education so that they can learn languages later in life is to bring them up to speak, at least at a basic level, a set of languages that covers a large proportion if not all of the distinct phonemes of all languages.
On further investigation, this has nothing to do with British Sign Language.
> Not that it's much better, but wouldn't it be a duopoly considering that AMD is also a big player?

Not sure AMD would be considered a big player, what would be the percentage threshold for that?

According to the Steam Hardware (& Software) Survey (https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Softw...), ~75% of computers with Steam running has a NVIDIA GPU, while ~15% has a AMD GPU.

AMD is the closest to a competitor NVIDIA has, but they are also very far away from even being close to their market-share.

I'm sure in AI/ML spaces, NVIDIA holds a even higher market-share due to CUDA and the rest of the ecosystem, at least in gaming things are pretty much "plug and play" when it comes to switching between AMD/NVIDIA hardware, but no such luck in most cases with AI/ML.
Be that as it may, my point that "left" and "right" have little useful meaning in the modern world (or even in the world of revolutionary France, after a short period of time) still stands.

Yes, that would be an example of "non-negotiable financial considerations". I'm going of the statement of the original comment, implying they had the luxury of choosing only those positions that meet their compensation criteria.
It isn't really the gotcha you think it is when you see Falcon 9s flying and landing multiple times a week, the most advanced conventional rocket engines ever being mass produced, two scifi-esque lunar landers under serious development and all the other things.

The American space program is far and away the world leader by a huge margin, while almost 2 decades ago things were dicey, the current Ameircan space program is definitely befitting of its glory during the mid/late 19th century.
> So, no event-oriented programming in Python, or by some other mechanism, or…?

My guess he's saying that anything that introduces concurrency is hard, and best avoided if you can do so. He's not wrong. True event driven code (without these libraries) introduces a lot of unneeded concurrency. You see it at it's worst in older UI's. There a central event loop receives mouse, keyboard and io events from the OS. The event handlers it calls transforms those events into higher level events like "field changed" and "focus change", and re-injects them into the event loop, where they get turned into still higher level events like "modal dialogue closed" until the job is done. It's a prick of a way to write a program.

If you just want parallelism (as he defines it in the article), threads with their conventional stack model are far easier to use. The problem with conventional threads is that you also get unwanted concurrency and the heisenbugs that go along with that. But green threads (aka fibres, aka cooperative multitasking) eliminate that sort of non-determinism. Green threads are what effectively gevent provides. That's why he's so positive about it.

The other libraries he discusses aren't about event oriented programming either. Rather, they tame the event loop, allowing you to write code in a way that looks similar to threaded code. And they do it without introducing unwanted non-determinism. But they come at the cost of coloured methods, so you have 2 ways of doing everything. That is why asyncio has no ftp / smtp libraries - because they have to be written in the different colour. With green threads (and gevent) all that old code continues to work. That is why these libraries suck compared to green threads. But if you have a language like javascript that doesn't have threads, they are a huge leap forward over the raw event loop processing so you'd take it any day.

What has me scratching my head is why Python introduced these higher level event libraries at all. They own the language - they could have gone the green thread route. As for Rust introducing colored code - words fail me.
There was a JWST doc on netflix; that explained a NASA technique for Points of failure strategy. ISRO may be using similar.
From "Physicists use a 350-year-old theorem to reveal new properties of light waves" (yesterday, 2023) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37226121 :

>> proves for the first time that a light wave's degree of non-quantum entanglement exists in a direct and complementary relationship with its degree of polarization. As one rises, the other falls, enabling the level of entanglement to be inferred directly from the level of polarization, and vice versa. This means that hard-to-measure optical properties such as amplitudes, phases and correlations—perhaps even these of quantum wave systems—can be deduced from something a lot easier to measure: light intensity
It can be helpful to tell the employees left behind the severance structure. Knowing their cohorts are being well taken care of can help alleviate the bad vibes for those left behind. General public? Yeah I don't see any benefit to sharing that info.
I wonder if archive.ph is being hijacked and used to proxy real captchas for other sites. It's weird that some people, myself included, get stuck in an infinite captcha loop using mainstream browsers (iOS Safari, in my case).
Even so, we do have clear examples of Greek Culture, since practically the beginning of records, even if that culture has been influenced by other cultures over time (as most cultures are).

Even conquered peoples generally maintain their culture as the culture or sub-culture of whatever society they live in. The governments might fall, but the people's culture usually lives on.

As a sibling comment mentioned, using ZFS for RAID/storage pooling is cumbersome. On my NAS I use plain old ext4 with SnapRAID+MergerFS, which gives me the RAID and checksumming features, while having the flexibility to expand the array using any combination of disks. This works rather well, and I have no need for immediate syncing/checking I would gain with ZFS.

That's my main issue with ZFS. It does too many things, and is too clever/magic for my taste. Many things can go wrong when relying on a monolithic system with that much complexity. I much prefer the Unix "do one thing well" approach, and mixing purpose-built tools to suit my needs, rather than using one tool for everything.
CSAPP is a good prereq for the OP's recommendations if you want an ordering.

If the workplace sucks, as most do right now, there's about three options for what to do:

1. Force out the people who are making it suck. This is difficult with how managers are trained nowadays, never to take sides even if one party is clearly a drag on the group. Shunning and isolation are options, but ones very hard to keep up without support. If it's the manager who is the bad influence, you might as well be trying to shame a baron out of owning a castle.

2. Stop caring about work. Phone it in. Don't care anymore.

3. Don't be present physically in that environment.

Of course people want to work from home when every interaction is unpleasant, when management is badgering you into doing things. It also saves on transportation cost, cost of caring for family, every single thing that an employer likes to pretend is not their cost to pay. It's not about people being naturally 'introverted' or 'extroverted,' it's about the social environment everyone, including management, creates around them.

Leverage is not defined as something you're interested in. That would be more like a BATNA.

Leverage is what someone else believes you're interested in.

In the US many jobs post a salary range, which can be not accurate or updated and apply to several levels of roles, "based on your experience" which puts you back at the negotiation table.

I've always found it odd american culture does not always embrace negotiating despite many of our core actions being based on it. Jobs, home purchases, following "rules" and "policies" are in many cases left to the personal discretion of the enforcer. Yet we dont teach people how to effectively negotiate. In the midwest especially the cultural coding is to view it as distasteful. The disservice is usually to the person with the lease leverage and the least information aka the little guy.

Giving his full name and the area he lives seems like a super incompetent way to "not disclose" his location.

Just a basic online search for his name and bee keeping related terms finds the guy's location pretty clearly, with very little effort.

> 99.9% of people using Microsoft Office are using it on one computer.

That's not even close to true.

A lot of people use a company PC to work at the office, and a Mac laptop at home. Or vice-versa. And they make edits on their iPhone. Or Android. Or iPad. Or Surface. Some of these use an installed version, and some of them use a web version.

People today absolutely do not stick to one device, or even one operating system.

To be honest, the idea of a system dictionary that is tied to a single device doesn't make much sense in today's world. The Mac dictionary doesn't even get synced to other devices logged in with the same Apple ID!

And the Microsoft Word spellcheck feature predates the macOS one by many years.

If people will learn to fake and mass-produce that without oversight, A/B testing for whatever gains they want to get out of it, great, kudos. Seems shitty to me, like something people who aren't creative themselves might do, or who like to fuck with other people en masse, etc. Like destroying something you can't have or make. It's like putting poison into the water supply is possible, but that's not the point.

People can come up with hilarious or interesting prompts, and that is great. And then there is no need to "hide" it, either. But when it comes to the "art" aspect of it, it's still 100% the humans that tune the output (which is an act of judgement, versus calculation) and/or the humans from whom the input was taken with consent, or stolen without.

And last but not least, I take things how I want to, anyway. How I think the author meant it is something I acknowledge and take into consideration, but no more.

I fully agree about the pathology in the US.

The system I'm proposing is like a prediction market. How do officials know what to prioritize when they have limited data? The signal to noise ratio likely improves when people have paid money to report a problematic intersection and are incentivized to only report ones where they actually believe danger is present.

My back of the napkin proposal suggests creating a market surrogate to provide information in a context where a market does not exist (due to the public monopoly on most roads).
