Is it creepy when you throw a ball up and it magically falls back into your hand? It moves back into your hand specifically because time on the ground is moving slower. The ball, like everything else, moves towards the slower moving timeline (a lesser inertial state). That's actually not creepy at all. It would be creepy if the ball went the other way for no apparent reason like a poltergeist.
> If GOOD recruiters are talking to you, they want to place you at the highest comp package they can.

I'm pretty certain the article covered this exact point; even GOOD recruiters aren't going to jeopardize a deal with $1500k commission for an extra $150.

We see the same thing with real estate agents, or sales anywhere a commission is paid - the sales person would rather have 10% less commission from a closed deal than 0% commission from a deal that fell through.

Their incentives aren't aligned with yours: Their incentive is to close the deal, yours is to close the deal at the highest price.

> Good recruiters don't leave money on the table like that.

All good sales people are closers. That means they are always leaving money on the table. It's more important to close than to hold out for 10% more.

There is no such thing as a sales person who only closes deals at the highest possible price; they'd starve.

You can still leverage the power of low level editors, just like helix does, and still have access to important things that so not require pages upon pages of configuration and plugin stitching to just get up and running in most projects you want vim or emacs like editing capabilities.

Helix is different from Lunar in the sense that the features it comes with are part of the core editor and the editor still feeling like an editor

> When did XML become human readable and writable?

Actually XML was designed as delivery not authoring language by giving up SHORTREF (= custom lightweight markup), tag inference, and other short form syntax XML inherited from SGML as its superset. There's even an attempt to bring back lightweight markup into XML ("Invisible Markup") though I personally can't see why they don't just use SGML for this which is an international (ISO) standard since 1986. 1986 or earlier is also about the point in time since when nerds invent their own plain text syntax and processing pipelines - not out of necessity mind you but clearly out of procrastination and fun when SGML (and TeX/LaTeX and run-off) has existed since.
My preference in web dev is to lean into standards. Web components give us a way to structure and re-use dynamic (client side) rendering and event handling.

However two things are bad about them:

1. They break the otherwise consistent dynamism of JS. You can’t re-register custom elements. This is incredibly disappointing.

2. The shadow dom is a separate concept lumped together with the rest, which is painful. A typical case of people anticipating specific usage instead of making a modular, simple design.
The anti-nuclear stance of the Greens can't be judged in isolation and must be seen in the context of the Cold War and the impeding Nuclear Armageddon.

I don't necessarily agree with the Greens but I remember this perilous time very well. And it was the incumbent non-Green powers who created this situation.

Furthermore, this is not the only theme the Greens pressed on and I must admit our country is already much much better for it ( cleaner air, cleaner waters ).
I was reading that article earlier this morning https://hongkongfp.com/2023/07/31/radioactive-seafood-compla... that indeed corroborate your saying.

Oh, it can be the case you absolutely do understand it, you can explain it, you can point out line by line, and class by class what you wrote, and why it makes the people whom you wrote it for's life easier. You can also document it, and provide references to external docs you relating to frameworks you depend on.

That still will not convince some that cannot be bothered to track where their bits are.

I bring up the point because I've whipped up a system specifically intended for shipping a declaratively defined DB state, to a particular user specifiable environment, whilst limiting thr actual implementation of said data as close as humanly possible to forms that were already being written.

There are just some times when the needed solution will not be accepted until people have rammed up against the problem they don't even know they have. Thus is the curse of the implementer that prevents rather than remedies.

Make a problem impossible to occur and people think you over engineered it. Sit on the answer til everything is on fire, and the migration cost is maximized, and you're looked on as a visitation from on High.

Nit: If a variable/object is only being written, that’s fine. There is a data dependency here because there is a read after a write.

I don’t have enough compiler knowledge to be able to definitively answer your question, but I think it would be a reasonable heuristic to favor emitting a branch over a cmov in cases where the cmov participates in a loop-carried data dependency.

The other advantage of emitting a branch is that branch prediction can better adapt to runtime conditions. Branch prediction tends to struggle when data is perfectly random, but most data is not. So in general it’s also reasonable for compilers to default to emitting branches.
When people say something is a ponzi, they generally mean that they think it's deceptive, fraudulent, or otherwise unsavoury. They don't mean that it's literally the sort of scheme made infamous by Charles Ponzi.

I think there's value in using precise language, so I reget this usage, but it's common whether I like it or not.
IBM OS/2 Warp was better but not as well marketed. Microsoft did not share 32 bit Windows code with IBM so Warp was limited to 16 bit Windows apps.

My comment is specifically about drivers.

I've used Linux exclusively since the 90s after leaving OS/2 Warp and rarely encountered a driver-related instability issue with any actual supported by mainline hardware. The few which come to mind had to do with NIC drivers requiring disabling offload features, or link rate auto-negotiation failures.

Your problem sounds like a non-specific distro update bug. Don't even get me started on my mother's current Win11 machine that breaks its USB printer on every.single.update.

AI Writing Is Dead
AI writing is bland. It does not make me think. It is dead writing.

An essay on how important new ideas are lost when writing is outsourced to AI.

Writing is not a goal oriented process of dumping your thoughts on paper. The act of writing itself generates new ideas that define your essay. (Paul Graham discusses this)

Writing allows you to find unity in variety and link different ideas together.

This is because humans are not one-dimensional. They are creative. They are disobedient.

AI is not disobedient.

Writing allows me to be creative and disobedient, magnifying the search for unity in variety.
I have been in forums my whole life and discord is far from them, discord is just a chat akin to irc. Forums and IRC worked together very well, when I was moderating a huge gaming community we had several IRC channels for those who wanted live participation.

It's impossible to follow a discussion in discord because when you arrive it may be over and they are talking about something else, that doesn't happen in a forum you can just post and add your take. And managing knowledge is easier in a forum, I can still find my 15 year old replies, or access all the news I created back when I was a mod.
It’s too late. The datasets that exist already are already more than enough to train future models.
I attend the office 4.9 days a week on average because that suits my personality, responsibilities etc. But I do find it baffling: half the time I'm told not to interrupt engineers and we have a whole system to let them get on and work without people making them context switch.

Won't argue with you there, but I've gotten tired of turning into the old man shouting "If you have not read what you are preparing to deploy at least once, you don't know what it does! You are not engineering! You're doing a ritual!" at the clouds.
Regaining trust is IMO, impossible with all current politicians.

The government has basically designated the nuclear agency seat as a "Send the guy we don't like there" seat. Only incompetent idiots have been placed there since Fukushima.

Add in all the BS red-tape that the government made up, the notoriously slow bureaucracy, and sometimes even sabotage? (Combine that with the new nuclear regulation agency created after Fukushima, which complicates it further) It's not happening without a strongman leading the charge and really forcing it.

This isn't only about drinking water it's about eating seafood that has absorbed these chemicals (or eaten many fish who have absorbed them). I could understand the caution around seafood in that area for a period of time.
Thank you for sharing this. Your carpentry skills being “not that good” is a feature - most of ours aren’t either.
I don't know about the ethics, but I'd argue that people still get born into terrible situations right here on earth. Think of all the children born in war-torn countries, into extreme poverty etc. Even in the midst of all this adversity, they will still find a reason to smile. And some will even make a huge impact in our world.
This meme that models are (mainly) hindered by the constraints on political correctness is really tiring.

You need to go check out small town west virginia. A massive minority of the people are on some form of government subsidy. It is reasonable to conclude he is not punching down, he is noticing a genuine problem in his community (that he has misidentified that as a reason his taxes are so high rather than as a massive subsidy for the region from outside rural west virginia causing at most a small increase in country wide taxes is unfortunate but i cant really blame him, you tend to notice what is plain as day in front of you rather than the subtlety behind that when you are mad about your situation)
You put into words a discrepancy that has annoyed the back of my mind for some time now.

I had actually always learned that it went from single point to infinite instantly but grows more dispersed. But recently have been seeing a lot things in a similar vein, Kurzgesagt put out a video and even a special pin about the size of the universe at different points of time. It would seem if we know that to be the case and we know the growth rate we could then estimate the size of the universe now, but nobody suggests a finite universe with a certain size as the present universe, just the past.

That would additionally suggest that there is a ‘center’ of the universe which I again have always learned as N/A since it is infinite. Really confuses me.
Fun but hard. I guess I hired too many developers.
How is it possible to say with any certainty that the universe was the size of an apple?

That analogy also implies that space wraps around, which no experiment has ever shown to be true. This contradiction is why I have trouble.

It’s a good analogy otherwise, but the details are the interesting part.

Although he’s out of line, he’s also right. Pornography has, does, and keeps on making it even harder for people to create meaningful connections, be fulfilled with “regular” sexual ideas, and messes with our body’s production of dopamine which in the end results in even more severe loneliness due to the inability to be more realistic in terms of sex as well as highten the chances of depression caused by the former. It is a disease, and the longer we try to destigmatise the situation, the worse effects it will cause for people and society as a whole

> She’s pointed towards a few different articles saying that the most accepted theory of physics is that the universe started from a single point, and that there is language such as “it grew to the size of an apple” within a small amount of time after the Big Bang.

These articles implicitly talk about the observable universe. Or they're just wrong. It definitely didn't start from a single point, but there was a time where the observable universe was the size of an apple (or anything else that is larger than a point).

None, groups like Greenpeace and various green parties throughout Europe are being China's useful idiots. Fukushima-Daishi is going to release 900 TBq in a whole ocean over multiple years, and that dose is already estimated by taking the worst numbers we could imagine.

La Hague's retreatment plant puts out 13000 TBq per year, and no one ever cared, nor did anyone see changes in the environment.

Not to mention that humans do not metabolize Tritium, it'll never stay in the human body for more than a few hours. You're more likely to die from the salt in that water than the tritium.

It's an analogy meant to highlight one particular aspect, not be a perfect model of spacetime. In mathematics, there is no shortage of topological objects that are infinite but not closed otherwise.

I wouldn't consider it a truism just by the use of words like 'more' and 'fewer'. But since you gave an example, I will give a counterexample.

I'm at the point where I will not contribute to projects with copyright assignment, especially those under more restrictive licenses like GPLv3 or AGPLv3.

It is a sign of a person or organization which has not figured out how they want to make their money, and wants to reserve the ability to take someone else's good idea.

That doesn't mean I wouldn't _use_ such software, but I look at it more as a piece of software where the installer is instead potentially leveraging CMake or autotools. There's rarely value in trying to participate in such a "community", which also tends to push further in the project being more of "published source" rather than a collaboratively driven effort.

Of course, a piece of free software means that I suddenly could lose future support, and software consuming free services means I could lose current support rapidly and even be potentially strong-armed into commercial licensing as a result.

That study simply looks at the differences between students at single- and mixed-sex schools. There are so many confounders I doubt it can be used to say something meaningful purely about the effects of sex separation. They do (try to) control for some confounders but they are all related to the students' individual backgrounds and none of them related to e.g. the school or the teachers. And the schools are all Catholic.
This seems also the only real problem left to me. I have no doubts that they get the concentration low enough. But I wonder how likely it is that there are still particles left in the water that in isolation might have unacceptable radiation/toxicity levels.
>In reality compulsory voting in Australia produces clear two-party dynamics, with third-party challengers and a reasonably dynamic system.

What makes you think the people who don't want to vote aren't just picking whichever name they've heard the most?

>Basically, real participation in voting is most likely in excess of 90% of the people who are formally registered as having voted

90% is not 100%, so it seems there's some people who still don't care. What makes you think you need compulsory voting to get people to care enough to cast a meaningful and honest vote, or that those 90% wouldn't care enough to vote even without it being compulsory?
