The number of ranked competitive FPS players that play without sound cannot be more than 50%.

Most FPS games that have ranked competitive modes put very significant audio cues in. If you’re playing without sound, you’re freely giving up a significant advantage. Often audio is mechanically important.
Find a life partner. One cooks the other cleans up. :)

The clean as you go method works well with most recipes though. There are dishes that come together really quickly and you can’t walk away from or others that must be monitored constantly but most dishes have some downtime built in.

Prepping all of your ingredients ahead of time makes a huge difference. I used to try and slice the veg for step 3 while step 2 was simmering and it became a stressful race to get it done in time. Now I prep all of my ingredients ahead of time in small bowls or on my cutting board. It’s ready before I need it and the extra “cleanup” involves adding a few more dishes to the dishwasher.

It's not enough that they "had any children". For example, if they had exactly one child, and that child was childless, then they are not your ancestor.

Biologists define the "identical ancestor point" to be the most recent time X in the past such that every person alive at time X is either an ancestor of everyone alive today, or of no-one alive today. Computer simulations suggest that the identical ancestor point is quite recent in geological terms, e.g., it's probably within the past few thousand years (it would be even more recent if we ignored remote places like Tanzania). See: Rohde et al (2004), "Modelling the recent common ancestry of all living humans", Nature. https://www.math.arizona.edu/~bhallmark/TMRCA/naturerohde.pd...
especially if you are a senior+ engineer, not
having anything to show after a 2 week sprint
is a red flag

Is it? Couple of thoughts.

One: At agile/scrum shops where I've worked, it's the team who's responsible for completing goals and demoing and shipping. Not individual developers. So an IC having their own stuff to demo would be incongruous. (I believe this is official "Scrum" doctrine, not that I necessarily care because I'm not the biggest fan of Scrum)

Two: A senior engineer can optimize their time for crushing lots of solo work, or mentoring/collaborating with the junior devs. In that light, if a senior developer was racking up rockstar individual stats, I'd want to make sure that junior devs on their team are getting enough time and guidance.

I can think of countless exceptions to the above. Maybe you have a team comprised entirely of senior+ engineers and no juniors and there's no reason to really collaborate, so senior engineers should then of course be delivering.
Embedded DSLs have much lower learning overhead, since they are just embedded in the language you are already using. Eg in Haskell, they are still valid Haskell programs. So they eg inherit the control structures from the host language, and most of the tooling in your editor, like 'jump to definition' also still works.

See http://wiki.haskell.org/Embedded_domain_specific_language

Because the overheads are lower, the payoff doesn't have to be as high to make it worthwhile.

(However, there's still some overhead, otherwise you wouldn't really label them as embedded-DSLs.)

Full disclaimer: I'm an industry amateur, went with the WWOOF program for 6 months, have kicked around what it'd take to make a living in agribusiness, and live in Iowa where the farm reports are on the level of celebrity gossip.

The trouble with biodiversity isn't about lower yield-per-acre, but more that it's not the most affordably scalable. It's not hard to set up and configure planting a homogeneous crop across a vast range of acreage, then hit each stage of the process (fertilizing, weed-killing, harvesting) with vastly powerful equipment in what's effectively an array. It takes more work to create an interdependent system that uses nature to fix nature, but many communities have done it for centuries (e.g., the Mennonites).

The one risk of scaling is that it's a short-term gain with a specific technical debt with the soil: too many repeat seasons of the same monoculture will create weaker yields from the decreased essential minerals for that specific plant. There are a host of existing solutions to this, with varying degrees of implementation and effectiveness:

1. Plant different monocultures in that location each year, though this isn't so useful if the entire region is configured for a particular plant. Iowa may be better for corn and Kansas for wheat, for example, meaning the market yield will be diminished for functionally the same product.

2. Employ the ancient method of "letting it rest" by not planting it every 7th year or so. Cuts back on profits, but lets the land heal from simple non-use (e.g., bugs and birds do their thing). The article implies this one, but with strips of rainforest in the middle of the acreage.

3. Rotational farming with grass seed and ruminants. Roaming cattle are literally the answer to climate stability, for multiple reasons.

As it stands, farming at scale works that way because it's been the cheapest way to get the most crops. There are only several ways to improve food availability:

1. selective breeding and (now) gene-splicing, which makes the food more resistant to damage, larger, sweeter, etc. at the cost of quality

2. government incentives for "good old-fashioned non-GMO
organic produce", since most people will not pay an additional $1/lb for apples

The trouble with the article is that it abides by what I call the "Fragile Earth Theory", which posits that any aberrant act by humanity could send the entire planet into a downward spiral that renders us all extinct. There's enough scientific evidence to disprove that idea, but it's not politically fashionable to argue it and not the hill I want to die on. The article is interesting regarding biodiversity, but food security is now more a political issue than a yield issue.

No, because fully random would still cause duplication, because the population of Earth is finite not infinite. With matings specifically selected to create no common ancestors back to X generations, then you theoretically have 2^X ancestors.

Because of cousin marriages the number of ancestors is reduced, it's called Pedigree Collapse. In certain populations it's very evident if anyone tries to build a genealogical tree with the help of a dna test.

One I can think of that matters to me is not-for-profit education software that is better and cheaper than the for-profit software I was frustrated with as a teacher and which runs on gnu/linux. This is a much larger bag of worms, though, and my reaction to authoritarian school administrators, poor tech support of the software, and an approach to education that felt subpar compared to what I understand from Make it Stick: the science of successful learning (Brown, Roediger and McDanial, 2014), other books, and my own experience in public & private education.

Another important field is early childhood education, though I'm not sure what software is used at that level.

We’re not having conversations with (or listening to podcasts by) anyone but ourselves. Join Eagleman and his guest Aza Raskin to see the glimmer of a pathway that might get us to animal translation, and relatively soon."
Probably not a good idea to judge all of EA but SBF. EA long predates SBF and had some huge wins by seriously asking the question "which charities save the most lives per dollar?" (technically: Quality Adjusted Years of Life, or QUALY). Really helped the world realize that things like mosquito nets in Africa were _grossly_ underfunded[0].

While I'm not an EA myself, accomplishments like Givewell[1] have really helped me keep respect for the movement - walking the walk is always orders of magnitude harder and more complex than talking the talk after all.

Even "software is hard"

I backed a game that was announced 10 years ago (in exactly 58 days) that still hasn't released: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1183462809/paradise-los...

It's been so long that the consoles it was announced for don't exist any more.

Anyone remember the Wii U, and the OUYA?

As far as I understand, they had already made a bunch of the game, then their programmer left and they had to find a new programmer and start again, then there was engine ports, and a side project, and etc..., and covid, and etc...

The lack of observable progress and long gaps between release notes made the community comments devolve into absolute toxicity.

Strangely enough, if it ever does come out I think the press of a game that has taken over a decade to build might give it some more attention than it otherwise would have received.

Apparently they're still working on it.

The other game I backed (that was made by a guy with heart condition who wanted to leave something behind before he kicked the bucket) did come out and it was awesome: https://store.steampowered.com/app/257850/Hyper_Light_Drifte...

Shortcuts is a really good start for getting him to think algorithmically without sweating the actual code writing yet and still getting satisfying results to show for it. Its really colorful and tactile too which appeals to multiple learning styles. Get him to put together simple shortcuts that accomplish some small goal or series of goals and work him up to the automations with various triggers (turn all the wifi off at 9pm, or lock when connected to power, etc. Then use that as a springboard to writing actual code (which he will appreciate much more when he's got that experience and success in getting it to do what he wants)

I don't understand how a senior developer partnering with juniors rather than crushing tasks solo equates to eschewing accountability -- especially if the goal is "continuous improvement" of the engineering org.

Although, it's not like the first time I've seen it expressed that senior engineers should outproduce juniors in terms of individual tasks/storypoints, and spend lots of time mentoring and pairing with juniors. Which I think is what you're getting at?

I disagree mightily with that. Those goals are in conflict and emphasizing individual stats is more or less the emperor of all perverse incentives. Instead, I favor the traditional agile/scrum emphasis on team velocity.
> In this case, there are 4 bugs. One causes N++ to write 1 to 3 bytes past the end of a buffer, the other bugs cause N++ to read some bytes past the end of heap objects, even the researchers aren't sure how they could be exploited.

Honestly, if you go down to the C level of buffers and stack overflows, I think most modern day GUI apps will come up with some bug or other. It's almost like torturing the data to come up with the conclusion you want, EVENTUALLY it is bound to yield you something!
> Copyright is a property right.

No, it isn't. The hint is right there in the name. Copying does not deprive people of their property. That's why they came up with the word Infringement to use instead of Theft, because they are fundamentally different things.

It worries me that there are people now who think that information is like property and that it can be owned.
This makes some crazy assumptions that not only do people not have kids with their first cousins (they do!) but they don't with there Nth cousins for N going into the dozens, with the family tree organizing itself into a perfect inverted pyramid.

> Copyright is a property right

Huh? The term "Intellectual Property" is a metaphor, not literal. There is zero intrinsic moral imperative against copying; copyright is a policy decision to encourage creation under a capitalist system. Other systems for encouraging creation have existed in the past (and exist concurrently with copyright).

If copyright were a property right, then "fair use" would be legalized theft.

Yes, thanks, as to copyright you are correct. I believe unless chattel is involved, it is called unauthorized reproduction and duplication rather than theft.

As to the telecom aspect, it can go either way. In Canada, it is considered theft to use a telecommunications service without the rights to do so. Under USA federal criminal law, I believe it is just referred to as unauthorized reception.

> A model trained with restarts always performs worse than a model trained for the same duration without restarts.

Citation would be nice. From my experience restart sometimes is required. When model gets unstable and 'explodes', or gets stuck in some local minima. This is common with GANs. I usually rollback the model a bit, but keep the latest discriminator. So that discriminator 'knows' what to expect. It works in most cases, except for the 'fatality', when model blows up no matter what. That's the end of training.

Well this will have the greybeards frothing at the mouth :)

that said, `cua-mode` is kinda terrible/half-assed b/c it implements a tiny fraction of what I think most people would consider "CUA". If you want a real CUA-mode use `ergoemacs`. Then Emacs will start to behave like every other GUI since the last mass extinction. It comes with a nice illustration of all the keybindings which leads to good discoverability of features. The only downside I saw was it had really slow launch times. Once you're comfortable with ELisp you can just rolled your own keybindings though

Is there some reason ergoemacs has never caught on?

That’s an opinion.

I assume you mean Tasmania here.

From the linked paper:

However, the MRCA date would be unaffected, because today there are no remaining native Tasmanians without some European or mainland Australian ancestry.
