Nope, you are completl right! A while (true) might slow down the system, but even that is not necessarily the case: I wrote a program to test this (based on the pseudocode in the readme) and my system is totally usable, with basically zero lag! This is the power of a well-written operating system that includes a mysterious concept called priorities. There is actually no discernable different when running the program (other than battery use and temperature going up). In fact, I am running that program as I right this because the difference is so negligable.

Mostly my subtext here is that municipalities should stop being so sneaky with their taxes and just come out and bill residents directly, instead of pretending that their taxes are just Comcast being greedy.
I'm not trying to proselytize here, just merely pointing out that the sentiment is thousands of years old:

Akabyah ben Mahalalel said: mark well three things and you will not come into the power of sin: know from where you come, and where you are going, and before whom you are destined to give an account and reckoning. From where do you come? From a putrid drop. Where are you going? To a place of dust, of worm and of maggot. Before whom you are destined to give an account and reckoning? Before the King of the kings of kings, the Holy One, blessed be He.

Probably depends on your perspective on life, if having and looking at expensive watches gives you more satisfaction than being hugged and spending time with your friends, your counterargument probably makes sense.

I don't think it makes sense to think entirely black/white here, everyone has different things they enjoy in life.
I've never had a choice in development machines. I've been stuck on OSX for 7 years at this point.
Eyes are watching. Your manager is likely to bring up that you're not an active enough participant in meetings; and yes, it will count against you in your performance reviews.
I think that you're refering to qTox(which is currebtly not being maintained). Tox, the protocol, continues development as usual.

This is why stupidity like Scrum should be abolished in every software shop worldwide. It just wastes time. It is just busy work and busy meetings for nothing and it is one of the most time consuming aspects of a dev job.
It's immediately obvious to me that multiple paragraphs of this article are written by an LLM.

I've read (and enjoyed) this book. I especially like making chatgpt and other LLMs write about it in different perspectives. I'm sad to see foundational American novels reduced to summaries coaxed out by chatbots. I do hope that language model watermarking becomes more prevalent and easily detectable.

> For the majority of people who don't use their SUVs off road, this seems irrational.

Because that's a kind of regulatory fiction, right there.

So let's cut the crap!

For the majority of the so-called SUV market the "s" in SUV is a long lost myth, and if we're being honest then it's just Utility-Vehicle (UV). But you say they sit higher off the road, perhaps that's technically correct, but actually false when compared to off-road vehicles. But we've already acknowledged SUV's are not really off road vehicles, but rather normal passenger vehicles with normal road tires, normal suspensions, and lower center's of gravity. The Model-y is really just a slightly taller/longer version of the model-3. But how much higher, well if you look at the ground clearance, then it's only ~1 inches higher off the ground. But overall the vehicle is taller, will a larger overhead canopy, and the seats are places over booster blocks to raise the eye-level higher. It's really an illusion, the Model-y is really just a sedan, that technically meets the minimum requirements to say it's an SUV. You can safely consider the modern SUV as the equivalence of old-school station-wagons.

If it waddles like a duck... quacks like a duck... you might be dealling with ducks my dude.
Doesn't that just make you in default? You hope they decide to cancel you and write off your debt, but legally couldn't they just keep charging you every month, ding your credit, and eventually sue you for the balance?
They have open sourced part of their driver. They stuffed all of the proprietary crap into a firmware image and open sourced a loader for it so GPL isn't a problem on their recent cards.

Their proprietary drivers will keep working on Windows for years to come, so it's not like Nvidia customers don't have any alternatives.
> That is absolute ripe BS, and anyone who knows any economics, finance, or has run even the smallest business knows it.

??? Are you arguing that increases in costs are not passed on to consumers at all?

It's also worth pointing out that the FTC is not just talking about passing along random costs - they are specifically talking about things like the Universal Service Fee (basically sales tax for ISPs) and local regulatory fees. Things that are assessed on customer billing.

TFR for the United States is 1.84, while South American countries rage from 1.75 (Uruguay) to 2.26 (Bolivia)[1]. It's tricky to find data on how the US TFR breaks out demographically. It would be very interesting, to your point, to see if immigrant TFR just echos the origin country or if there's a debuff applied for living in the United States. Anecdotally, this feels true to me less more Traditional Catholic immigrant families from Mexico or El Salvador but I've no idea if the data backs it up.

You should know about ImportYeti.com -- as you can analyze deliveries (via ship (and their manifests) to find who is making what and how many shipments they receive from abroad, and then who is on the actual supply chain and building the things.

For example, I was able to look into the bicycle supply shortage during pandemic, and which major brands were using various OEM mfrs in china for components... Bikes are a good litmus because it hist Taiwan, Japan, China, etc - for major brands.

You can see who the suppliers major customers are, and where their majority of their output is being consumed.

If you have a particular industry/product-line youre interested, let me know and Ill show you how to delve into that.

-

So, take SHIMANO for example.. a japanese company that dominates the bicycle components market, so we can see where they come from

Number of shipments by Shimano into the US :

https://i.imgur.com/AOYLujy.png

Top recipients of the shipments:

https://i.imgur.com/BHRXE9U.png

So, if we look at Santa Cruz Bikes, we can then see who their top shippers are, and you can see the majority of their supply chain for the 3rd party components required to assemble their product, so if Fox gets some sort of failure, All these other companies will be affected as well...

https://i.imgur.com/ScX7XlK.png

A large majority of higher-end frames are made in Taiwan. A lot of frames for many companies can come out of one factory, however, you can dig into THAT factories top customers and see who owns the majority of their output, thus sets the prices and flow for all the smaller customers, either intentionally or not (its intentional)

--

One thing I seek to do, is to look into the legislation that is passed with respect to certain trade deals, then look into who in congress is investing/divesting in various companies, or what their spouse or offspring may be doing (hard look a Ivanka and Kushner, and Hunter, and Pelosi etc...

So, you could see how certain aspects of MIC work (Take, KBR, Halliburton, Bechtel, etc.. are they going to be "rebuilding Ukraine in a statement of solidarity?"

but you can look at their supply chains to give you an idea...

You describe valid problems that are reasonably frequent at many organizations, however, literally none of them get solved by a software tool being stricter at enforcing state transitions - all of them require the relevant managers to actually manage people.
What a great gig! I ring a random doorbell. I say "You owe me $2" you say "What for?" I say "...I don't know but you still owe me $2 so I'll take that now."

Oh it's not a random doorbell, it's a customer who's lawn I mow. ok. Totally ok then.
What does “batteries-included” mean? Except more buzzwords?
A good 95% of the mobile game devs I know who use Macs use Unity. Unity code is done pretty much exclusively with C#.

100% of those people use Jetbrains Rider and/or VScode. One used to use Visual Studio, but moved to Rider a good year ago.

C#/.NET today is what Java wanted to be, it's an actually good and comfortable modern-ish language that actually works on multiple platforms.

> In the political centre, there were the conservative VVD and Christian democrat CDA, which have ideologically supported nuclear energy for a long time. Additionally, a host of far-right parties see the opposition to nuclear energy from the established progressive and left parties as a red flag, and for that reason are proponents of the technology themselves.

Conservatives and christian democrats "ideologically" support nuclear power — blindly following Jesus and Edmund Burke, rather then thinking it through from the ground up, in which case they would obviously have to come to the conclusion that we should fire up coal plants again instead.

The far right merely supports nuclear power because progressive and left parties oppose it. What about Finland? There, progressive and left parties support nuclear power. Shouldn't we expect far right parties to oppose it, then? Of course, that's not the case, the Finn's Party also supports nuclear power.

Support for nuclear power is explained away with "ideology" and contrarianism, but opposition against nuclear power is taken for granted.
I'm not one who believes that perfect representational parity is possible or even desirable within all social groupings. That said, I see no reason to ignore the implication of a 1% vs 40% disparity within a highly advantageous profession.
Figma was considered ... good?

Every time I have used it, it feels incredibly laggy with a crapton of useless animations.

I actually think the opposite is true, most people would slow down and be less greedy and intolerant if they were immortal, and didn't have to worry about getting old and dying. The pressure of knowing you'll be dead soon is what makes a lot of people feel that "what’s really valuable in this life" is a waste of precious time.
You only need to have 1 in order to forget about it.
In the end they are two sides of the same coin. If you think there are good guys and bad guys and the good guys are always on my side then I will remind you that this isn't a movie. For every action any actor took there is a reason and justification that can be made.

Would Trudeau and Freeland be so pro war if Freeland and her sister owned 5 apartment buildings in Russia instead of the Ukraine? Would Biden be so pro war if his sin had dealings with Russia instead of the Ukraine?

Find me a pure moral action and I'll raise you two selfish actions.
This is one of the two reasons why I avoid all subscriptions unless they're absolutely necessary. The other reason is because it's too easy to keep adding new subscription because each one in isolation appears to be a small amount, but they collectively add up to entirely too much far too quickly.

Subscriptions are a fixed ongoing expense, and fixed ongoing expenses is the most common way people go broke.
In my experience, the best you can hope for from retrospectives is small tweaks. The length of sprints, how standups should go, who writes what in tickets.

But you can't change the process to be not-Scrum.

Once a company has decided "we do Scrum", you can't argue in retrospectives that sprints are completely artificial and unnecessary for the project in this phase, or that things would go much smoother if devs talked directly to the customer instead of through a product owner. Or even that tickets on a board are not a useful way to work at the moment. Things have to stay Scrum.
It's just code for "do it anyway", which would be fine in exchange for payment if expressed honestly.

It's at least a lack of diversity processes, metrics, and benchmarks, which leads to discriminatory outcomes. Or in other words, someone should've said, "hey, this team is X% Indian, maybe branch out a little". It's the exact same dynamic that leads to heavily white/male teams, "hey I made all my friends at institutions that didn't at all strive for diversity... and that's where I hire from... hmm."
It’s difficult to understand why such a transparently facile book gets so much traction. “The rich beautiful people (who clearly are us, not Them) are responsible for everything good and if we stoped putting up with you losers well then you’d see!” In several thousand pages with odious monologues. Rand is an interesting I’m how her experience of life shaped her, but that doesn’t mean we should take her fiction seriously - let alone her “philosophy”
Credit unions are different, and can be fairly barebones with regards to online options, however if you do have these interests for new features, you have a greater chance of speaking to someone who can make it happen. The local near me offers a balance on savings and draft, and an option to transfer between the two or to an external account, that's it.

Some rivers (especially in the US) miss their waterway-line through lakes/reservoirs and the part crossing the dam. These need to be added.

I am not 100%, but inclusion of GPL software is not prohibited in non-GPL works as long as the GPL work is made available, at least upon request.
It could be the failure mode is identifiable on the OS and Linux didn't add detection and fallback support.

Honestly though it could also be workarounds. Windows is king at making stuff like this work by hard coding overrides. E.g. a custom driver for this display.
It's frustrating when articles like this don't mention the version of the software tested. Because that does matter.

From the PostgreSQL 14 release notes: "Allow hash lookup for IN clauses with many constants (James Coleman, David Rowley). Previously the code always sequentially scanned the list of values."

And in PostgreSQL 15: "Allow hash lookup for NOT IN clauses with many constants (David Rowley, James Coleman). Previously the code always sequentially scanned the list of values."
You don't need to worry about the drones themselves. The drones are useless without the explosive munitions. Good luck acquiring that without raising any flags. Not to mention somehow acquiring all the training data and ML modals to actually make them useful. Then there is the compute power that would be needed and coms infrastructure.

it puts it firmly out of reach for anyone that isn't state sponsored.

Not saying autonomous weapons won't/couldn't be an issue. just pointing out that drone swarms won't be.
That’s… an odd argument to make. Do you really think that the vast majority of people derive more happiness from having things than experiences/memories with loved ones?

I think a popular sentiment near the end of life for most is that they wish they’d adventured more and spent additional time with family & friends, not acquiring material goods or more wealth.
There are much higher density energy sources than lithium batteries which militaries can use, I’m not sure that is at all insurmountable.

This is specifically a hack to get around listing and booking costs. I'm surprised the big players like Expedia or Google or Booking haven't started cracking down on it themselves.

> metrics like line counts

Send your boss a link to "Negative 2000 Lines of Code"[1] and ask him if he thinks Bill was a shitty coder.

When I was scrum master for two teams I, too, tracked some metrics (for feedback and improvement, not for pay or career (ab)use).

While I did track the number of story points delivered and user stories closed per sprint, one of the things I was more interested in was how accurately the teams managed to hit their estimates (regardless of what they were). In that perspective, delivering too much too quickly was just as undesired as the opposite. We used this to refine the way that we did estimates, story refinement, and sprint planning.

Naturally these were team-based metrics, because software development is a team activity.

I don’t have any sympathy for telecos. But… it is difficult. For example, the city school district in my city, whose boundaries are not congruous with the city boundaries has an excise tax on different classes of wireless service.

These types of rules may have unintended consequences, for example requiring that you collect a street address before providing pricing. It also may encourage telcos like TMobile, who embeds fees in rates to be more AT&T-like “executive retreat recovery surcharge”.

Is it really greed though? Or just the struggle to make ends meat?

> Scrum _is_ a bit like communism. Each time it fails people claim it's wasn't the real thing.

The difference is when people do communism, they actually follow the recipe (and failing), i.e. central planning, one-party state, state ownership, etc.

But when you read about people complaining about Scrum, it doesn't look like what the Scrum training taught nor the Scrum guide.

(This reminds me of a time when a manager pulled all the teams into a room, then pulled out all the Scrum terminologies and say "now we're going to have a meeting to decide what we want them to mean".)

I’ve been thinking something similar to this as I lost one of the closest people in my life a few weeks ago.

People have been living and dying on this rock for thousands of generations and no-one alive today remembers any of them. Even the most immensely successful people to have lived just a short while ago - all of the John Rockefellers and the Andrew Carnegies of the world - are remembered only insofar as their names adorn buildings today. I don’t think it would matter at all if my name was on a library after I’m gone. I’m not sure how it could.

I’m trying to prioritise more (and better) time with my kids as it really is going by in a blink and while I’ve always understood this logically it’s really hit me like a freight train lately how none of it’s guaranteed.

To be cheesy and quote Tony Stark: “No amount of money ever bought a second of time”.
Do these boards still have that design flaw that prevents them from working right with USB? Especially for programming.

The way it should probably work is through hooks that you can implement yourself.
Did you ever use Visual Studio on mac? It's not the same thing as VS on Windows, at all. They just bought another IDE and rebranded it. If you want to do Cross platform .Net development, I would use VS Code for it.

Plus, when they said "cross-platform", I think they were thinking more about backend linux than they were about frontend mac/iOS.
How is your argument relevant when there were 20 complaints from actual Googlers about caste discrimination? Unless you are actually Indian and aware of the castes you wouldn't have any idea whether caste discrimination was happening to your colleagues.
It is not "exactly as awful", there have been plenty of untruths and misrepresentations stated about it, both in this comment section and elsewhere.

I am a consultant who developed the companion computer/autopilot and software environment for DRL drones used at the AIRR race sponsored by Lockheed in 2019. UZH was the team to beat and I met Davide and Elia there. They almost pulled it off but sports being what they are had a bit of a heartbreak at the end, and the team from Delft ended up pulling through and winning the $1mm prize. Delft then raced against Gab from DRL and iirc came behind by only 6 seconds.

So glad to see this team from UZH continued pushing the envelope and are now beating human champions. If you saw the team and what they managed in under a year, it was clear they were highly talented and human racers had their work cut out for them to stay ahead.
Practically all of them. I don't see the final price from pretty much any online store until I put in my ZIP as otherwise it doesn't know shipping or taxes.

But at least I can see the final price before I choose to commit to buying the item. Many ISPs won't tell you what the bill is going to be until they've already wired you up for service.
A lot of those fees are not usage taxes or similar, but rather costs of doing business that an ISP has chosen to pass on to customers as seperate fees so they can keep the headline price low.

It's like if your supermarket advertised their prices as $50, and then you go up to the till and it's $60 because they've included a "shelf stacking fee", and they claim that they can't just include that in their advertised price because their shelf stackers' wages vary by jurisdiction.
