"Do you remember how amazed we were to crash a keyboard or two on each other backs? Do you remember us singing songs about Java while writing fake protocols?

What kind of fun did you use to have in your teams before the HR-organized joy of playing volleyball and drinking beer from PHP-shaped mugs."

None of those activities sound fun, but if I had to choose I'd take the HR organized volleyball and beer drinking.

This was it for me, too. Me + my dog is enough. I'm currently single, but I'm sure at some point in the future there will be a partner involved again, but, no matter what, I'm definitely going to try to have at least one room that's a private refuge, probably my home office.
Ooops. There was also link to this on the original post.

> You do realize that while the artists, animators, and programmers you're talking about actually make a liveable salary on that, the voice actors mostly don't?

They're working full-time, long hours (lots of unpaid overtime), and pay often isn't great even for programmers, but especially for non-programming roles (outside of the largest/most successful studios, mostly in the US, where it can be a lot better).

I'm sure they'd also love to do part-time gig work and be guaranteed a full-time income from it, but that's usually not an option. Many programmers leave games after a while for better-paying work, less stress, and/or more job security elsewhere.
It's interesting to try and define what good and bad forecasting is. When you consider the outsized calamity of black swans, it is practical to have some diversity of prediction, not unanimity around a single prediction.

You don't want to over-value predicting non-extreme events, you need that Israeli 10th man to persuade others of the improbable to ensure your plan is resilient. The insightful ideologue will be right about the intentions of a Hitler... but they also predict a few too many Hitlers.
The closest thing I have found is ReelGood. They let you pick all your services and search, browse, etc. Handles cases where multiple providers have the same content pretty gracefully. Your authentication creds don’t talk to Reelgood, so they’re deeplinking as closely as they can to each provider’s content page. For instance if Yellowstone is streaming on paramount plus and Hulu I’m presented with buttons for each, which will launch on those respective providers. I’ve only ever seen a URL be wrong once, and I use Reelgood almost every day. I also wrote a TamperMonkey script that embeds a show/movie’s rotten tomatoes score on the page to help optimize chances of whether I’ll enjoy it or not. I find this really helpful as opposed to switching between streaming sites or apps.

Not perfect but pretty good. Plex are attempting something similar but I was less impressed when I tried theirs. that was over a year ago, though
100%. China was going to achieve this technology at some point but we we sort of forced them into Manhattan style projects for this as a result of the sanctions. So they are likely going to achieve technology independence from the US faster as a result and then may surpass it clearly if they continue this level of effort/investment.

To be fair the state of the art is 3mn as of now (eg iPhone 15 releasing next week or so.) But 7mn is pretty darn close.

wget's "downloads recursively" is worth half the features of curl.
I much prefer the fact that curl doesn't do this by default (but has the option), it much closer matches the behavior of most unix-y tools. Makes it so much easier to put it into pipelines.
Oops. I meant to say, former. The 500k is likely revenue, not what's left after expenses.
Wait until you learn about the parasitic communist ruling class.
The scientific fraud doesn't mean the scientists are bad. It means the incentives for scientists in China are much more misaligned than in many western countries. My understanding is that the number of publications plays a much stricter and more formal role in China, which in the end means you get the output you measure. So you get more papers because that's the main thing that counts.

This doesn't say anything about how much good science is underneath all this.
I usually use `curl -OL <url>` or `curl -L -o <local-filename> <url> instead of wget.

wget is better for download lists, but I'd accept the argument that a simple shell script is similarly easy.
Do you mean menu as in a weekly schedule or for a single function where you invite guests?

Weekly menus have been easy for the family, if you plan in a few stews or rice/quinoa/bulgur/cuscus based dishes which are more forgiving with certain ratios of vegetables and stuff. So plan a few nice meals which need exact ratios, and with stuff you overbought/leftovers you can do these other dishes.
Kenji is great until you have misophonia and his mouth sounds get you and you have issues with how unclean everything he does is. But his videos are a goldmine for great skills, recipes, everything. It is very good if you have a little basic hygiene and food safety skills and do not pick up bad habits from him. The knife manufacturer he uses has been very, very good as well. I have a few of their knives and it's been wonderful.

I think you got the wrong end of the stick with that guideline. It's intended for folks who accuse others of not having read the article, not for self admission that one didn't read the article. Also the article is behind a paywall and even with all my own usual tricks I can't get at it to read in any sensible way (even archive.is).

In this case the article's topic is fairly obvious that you could legitimately comment here.
The West is probably generally influenced by chess. Thinking in terms of of the "Grand Go Board" would probably be less bloody, but still be confrontational on a fundamental level (concepts like my pieces vs your pieces, control, surrounding, eliminating, a winner and a loser).
One of the last games I pirated on my Amiga before hard drives gained more of a foothold was Beneath a Steel Sky. It came on 15 floppy disks…
I had always read that (perhaps over-hopefully) as referring to the structural incentives of the Chinese economic system not leading to innovation rather than a racist statement that Asians can't innovate. Neither statement seems completely accurate but the former is considerably less offensive.

The rankings are literally perceived reputation. All you need to do is look at where people want to go to university. And that is overwhelmingly in the US.
"Reaction" typically means "chemical reaction." Dissolving is not a chemical reaction. BPA is tasteless and odorless, so it wouldn't adulterate the taste of the food is the point.
Tried simulating this circuit in LTSpice and failed miserably. Anyone got a working circuit to share?

Given the feedback nature of the circuit I assume it's sensitive to all kinds of device-specific limitations like slew rate and so on, so hard to get a realistic simulation.
For reference, the primary market for Kubernetes is orgs with over 1,000 developers that just can't make deployments to virtual machines work cost effectively any more. Monoliths get too huge and unwieldy if that many developers need to push changes on different release cadences.

The key thing is that a container needs about 10-20% of the memory of a virtual machine. Generally, a large cluster allows for very efficient "bin packing" so that workloads with different requirements all get distributed so that every VM is loaded to about 80-90%, whereas you'd be lucky to have 10% across your fleet of VMs. (Don't forget to include all the non-prod instances!)

At the tiniest scales, Kubernetes stops making sense because it's too complex to manage.

However, it does scale down to a single node. E.g.: Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) will cheerfully run with just one Linux box and has no extra hidden costs.
East-Germany also has some amazing skilled wages when you factor in the cost of living, but there's a reason the cost of living there is so low. Nobody wants to live there.

US is still much more attractive for ambitious people from Asian countries than India, China and even the EU.

I don't think she set out to deceive, and your stated reasons for thinking so don't pan out. I believe the author of the article is right: historians have to be conscious of their narrative or the narrative will write the history. That's not being deceptive in the normal sense of the word, it's catering to a perceived true narrative, and unconsciously suppressing anything that might undermine it.

Politicians do it all the time, but historians in particular should not do it. They still do: in this case painting a skewed picture of the ingenious slave, in other cases they might paint a picture of the glorious supremacy of the western civilization.

Not getting caught in such narratives is ... difficult.
Where did I say they should use Discord? You're the one who said it's great for communities
> I tried using curl but out of the box it could not resume or retry the download.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but curl has exactly that feature, it's the `-C` flag. If you want retries, there's `--retry`. I find curls defaults pretty sane, personally, I wouldn't want either of those by default for a tool like curl.
ah hadn't noticed those - the big problem with this circuit is that if need to need to be able manufacture something it needs to be reliably repeatable - I've found I need to buy a reel made by a particular manufacturer and tweek the circuit just so.
USA didn't wanted USSR to break up. It was trying its hardest to prevent it in 80s/90s because it was afraid of nuclear proliferation and wars. USSR has broken up against all the political games - simply because people were fed up with it.

Proping up Russia right now is probably going to end up similarly - the country is just too big for its organization and economy to survive as a normal country. It can only survive as a militaristic dictatorship. And who wants that?
Probably and I have heard that same thing from certain strains of evangelical. The irony is that the "Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge" (that Adam and Eve ate in the story) isn't said to be an apple anywhere in Genesis. That's just something that artists did when they depicted the scene later. They should have chosen a much more decadent fruit like a fig imo.
> Compiler writers are not engaging in "adversarial" behavior with their users -- they are their own users!

Only if your language is self-hosting, isn't it?
It's because accessing uninitialized memory is not UB in clang.

From clang's point of view, a read from uninitialized memory returns the special value `undef`. Many operations applied to `undef` also return `undef`, but some (e.g. branching `if (undef)`) are outright UB.
But the original example doesn't do anything with `undef`, so it's not clang-UB. The compiler generated valid code for the function, it just happens to pick "whatever was previously in RAX" as the value read from the uninitialized memory.
The malloc call is optimized out because it's no longer necessary after the uninitialized read was replaced (the same will happen to any other malloc call where the return value is unused).

Note that the reason for this weird `undef` semantics ("almost but not quite UB yet") is that padding bytes are also uninitialized, but copying a whole struct incl. padding (even a memcpy-style byte-wise copy) must be defined behavior.
Likely BlockBuster could have been more stable and financed the stores for longer if they wanted to. As late as pre-corona-pandemic there were lots of little independent rental stores specialising in the one niche still available - blockbuster BluRays (and DVDs!) with what had just left the local theaters, but weren't yet widely available on streaming services.

During the pandemic there was a pause in theatrical releases and the little rental chains couldn't weather that, so they disappeared.

But yeah, not that different from today.

As an Indian techie who moved away in 2011 and still living in the West(US & EU), I was recently shocked by this revelation. A fellow Indian engineer who moved to Amsterdam recently scoffed about the economic state of affairs here, and said he was able to save so much more while living similar lifestyle back in India. I blindly asked “how could it possibly be?!, with Indian salaries..” and we got down to details. Boy was he right. The purchase power of an Indian techie is so much more than one even in Amsterdam. Although he, and I chose to move and live in Netherlands for many reasons(cleaner air, cleaner/saner/safer/more equal society, etc.), the case still holds true purely by numbers that a techie working in tier-1 companies in India earns more(after expenses and taxes) than the same metric in EU.

As like most things in life, to each their own. But, I was surprised to learn of this shift in balance.
I’ve interviewed a lot of people – from FBI agents to people trying to install their internet services. Here's some thoughts on asking questions to get quality information.
> Roads may have problems but the alternative you're proposing is far worse.

Sorry, but "far worse" is simply excessive.

Living in a large European city, namely Paris, and having experienced both car and mass transit, I prefer the second option a lot, to the point I sold my car without replacement about 6 years ago after 2 years of barely using it.

There is of course the ecological aspects, but even in terms of quality of life, I much prefer public transports: it's cheaper, it's less stressful, it's more predictable and I'm able to do other things like reading while transiting.

By comparison, in this context (dense urban area), cars, with their needs (maintenance, parking, etc) are actually more constrain than freedom.

And that's not like I'm a unique case, most of my colleagues either use public transports or (e)bikes, car users are a minority (~20%).

In Paris, there is even a large proportion of the population who didn't even have a driving license at all.

Doesn't it means that mass transit is the perfect solution? no. But in dense urban area, it's probably the best compromise.
I hadn't thought of it that way, you're making some good points.
It has the most satisfying ending of any series that I have watched.
I miss portable physical storage in general. USB drives aren’t the same because they are both a media and interface. I guess the spiritual successor is SD cards but I would love a cheap, not necessarily huge or super fast storage, but with excellent resilience and archival properties for 50+ year storage. That’s a niche I feel like was never filled. The debate around CD/DVD/Blu-ray and various dyes never really died so I never dared using them for that. Best recommendation for home use (because tape is more enterprise oriented) seems to be multiple hard drives and verifying them every now and then, but that always felt like such a crutch, haha.
I think a lot of the websites on this list will still work:

Germany: Geldkarte (German: "money card") is a stored-value card or electronic cash system used in Germany. It operates as an offline smart card for small payment at things like vending machines and to pay for public transport or parking tickets. The card is pre-paid and funds are loaded onto the card using ATMs or dedicated charging machines. The system will be abandoned from 2024.

> thoughtful longer content

I think that's the important bit.

Long form content that is artifically long does exist (see the trend of making videos exactly 10 mins or longer to maximise ad revenue).

But on the other end of the spectrum some of the best content I've watched on YouTube have had longer runtimes than some movies.

For every thousand click-baity creators on video platforms there are always a handful of people producing truly thoughtful, interesting content.
It's really quite cool how we can implicitly know all these linguistic rules without consciously being aware of them. Just another reminder that our conscious self is just a layer on top of a big and complex processing machine.
I've watched a lot of Gordon Ramsay videos and agree with you. His style is so efficient and not overly complicated, but he does everything perfect. Something else that he's led me to think about is to move more quickly. Making a great meal does not take very long once you have some base skills.
11 years isn't that long. Serious problems started for me after about 20 years.
> This article was later debunked by experts who have taken time and effort to do that

It was debunked by a single non-academic with no publishing track record, who is currently completing a master's thesis. In other words it could have been debunked by anyone.

> the article passes the peer-reviewing process because the peer-reviewing process does what it is supposed to do

Indeed, it passed the process because the process is designed to create the illusion of consensus and credibility without actually blocking false claims. It worked wonderfully here.

> I think there is a problem with layman people

Yes that's right, those unwashed masses who expect scholars to not make shit up, who are these scoundrels? Do they not understand how the great processes of discovery work?

> social sciences or history are ideologically biased. This is a valid hypothesis, but not the only one explaining what we observe.

Yes it is the only one explaining what we observe. The claims were made up, completed with fake references, there is no scope for statistical P-hacking "oh bad luck old boy" explanations here (not that they're acceptable anyway).

It's not just scholars, the whole left is like this. Black Woman With Magical Powers is by now a Netflix trope. You can guess the plot of a lot of post-2015 Hollywood output just by looking at the race of the characters. This sort of scam is exactly what we'd expect from an academic culture in a state of advanced decay.
I don't think there is any special reason to celebrate it.
I believe it was in Annie Duke's "Thinking in Bets" that she demotes (?) chess as a life-like metaphor and instead says poker has a closer parallels.

The crux of her argument is (if I recall correctly), at any given moment, chess has a finite number possible moves, and from those finite possible outcomes. Effectively, everything is know. On the otherhand, poker has unknowns (i.e., some cards remain hidden). In addition, you can - based on knowns - make good decisions and things can still go badly. That is the quality of the decision is not tied to the quality of the outcome.

Disagreed. Practice is just one component in a cycle that makes us better:

We watch something, think of something, read something.

Then we try it out in practice.

Then we observe or have someone else observe the practice and result.

Then we take suggestions and improvements into account from that observation.

Then we start over at one of the points above.

If you only just repeat the "practice" step you'll get set in your ways, get used to doing the same mistakes all over, etc.
Seems maybe dated. For example, it excludes both of these from wget in the diagram

> HTTP PUT

wget --method=PUT --body-data=<STRING>

> proxies ... HTTPS

wget --use-proxy=on --https_proxy=https://example.com

Curl consistently has more options and flexibility, but there's several things on the right side of the venn diagram where wget does have some capability.
I'm not suggesting that at all. Just that there are technically sophisticated developments taking place in the space but most of the conversation that surfaces here is just related to politics or law or just personal opinion.

There is hardly any discussion here about zk, or wallet abstraction, or even breakdowns of the hacks.

Once the hivemind takes a position in social media, deeper technical discussions have no point. So even serious people in the space would just avoid it outside of some limited spaces.
As a complete novice, I had a similar revelation naively trying to derive one of Maxwell's mind-blowing insights connecting light to magnetism. It was well accepted that if you just divided the electric constant by the magnetic constant (in their respective inverse square force formulas), you end up calculating the speed of light. The units and numbers matched up nicely using old definitions and units. I wanted to see it soup to nuts in modern terms, but so much has changed not only in the definition of magnetism, but also new standardization of units, more accurate measurements of vacuum permeability... I just gave up. I'll take Maxwell's word for it.
Not at all. With some explanation "why we ask", it would be better.

On the other side, I would Welcome the possibility to mark the products "for others" while putting in the basket.
