Those things were true for all industries so that can't be used to explain the unique success of the tech industry.

Also the standard you propose is ridiculous because you can't predict the future even close to 5 years out. Do you think that the owners of Instagram would have sold for $1 billion if they knew what the next 5 years of growth would look like? Would the owners of Android have been willing to sell for $50 million?

It's fairly high for something voluntary and that isn't announced anywhere except by word of mouth.
Just look at inputs and outputs. Electrical energy goes in; heat, noise (heat), and moving air (heat) come out. Nearly 100% of the energy going into an air conditioner produces heat.

If one of my directs came to a one on one and shared their updated enemy-list with me, I'd be pretty concerned.
That's only going to happen if the client has such a massive network latency spike that the server thinks it's disconnected. At least half a second, possibly more. You're never going to get that kind of delay from synchronizing threads, unless the process totally deadlocks.

EDIT: Well, there is one situation where you might get delays like that: if the computer is so woefully inadequate to run the game that it consistently misses frame deadlines by several hundred milliseconds. Of course, in such a situation a different concurrent algorithm wouldn't have solved anything anyway.
Perhaps it's obvious, but I'll ask anyway: what are the advantages in moving this into kernel space?

Performance? Better integration with filesystems? Ease of use?
This is precisely the wrong solution. If anything, the CPU bytecode is one of the most stable things, so switching to some "interpretable format" is not going to help much. It is the total carelesness of literally everyone else in the entire stack which is the problem.

If developers considered the inability to run a 30 year old game/software in the most recent release of "libwhatever" as a critical release blocker bug, then this problem would not exist.

But obviously, this is not a popular solution. And currently we rather have the opposite situation, where open source projects dump compatibility as the default (e.g. Linux sunsetting a.out support), and only preserve compatibility in the comparatively rare case that there is enough developer mass.

I think we should fund more research for converting the CO2 into usable products instead of just storing it (stuff like carbon fixation or chemical conversion). Who knows, perhaps we find a carbon negative (energy wise) solution to just convert it on site, and we can place these "factories" around the world where there's an excess of energy (near nuclear power plants, desert solar installations, etc.)
Same; I always thought it essentially just meant "shot at such a close range that you can't miss". (Though I expect most people do actually use it that way, even if it's incorrect.)
It's more cost-efficient and effective long-term to prevent people from falling into homelessness. And affordable housing is widely viewed as a major root cause. [1]

Yes, people on the streets should be helped. But if 4 people fall into homelessness for every 1 person place in permanent supportive housing (this is the ratio in SF [2]), we will never "solve homelessness."

Actually, ICMP-based PMTUD is almost dead in IPv4 due to this exact problem (since ICMP isn't a "protected" protocol which is required for IPv4 connectivity), most actual services tend to do the MTU discovery purely using UDP or even using TCP (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4821)

Do you really have to do it daily with them? I have two zirconium-based implanted teeth and they're always smooth. Zero biological film or gunk on them, and I had some periods this year during which I didn't brush teeth for 4-5 days. All other teeth were nasty but the zirconium implants looked and felt pristine. (Sadly still prone to food bits getting stuck in-between though, but oral shower and interdental brushes take care of that.)

Though I agree that even if you replace all your teeth you still have to brush somewhat because the gums need the cleanup as well and you can't replace those. Though I'd think I can get away with a much shorter procedure than what I do for several years now (powerful oral shower, interdental brushes, brushing teeth and gums, and Listerine).

The only part of this I disagree with is "Couple of years of Relevant Practical Experience" is senior. Intermediate, sure. Senior should be at least five years AND at least two projects.
Assuming technical competency is given, I think senior engineer really needs to do two things well:

1. Be able to make a design decision - among multiple options and with incomplete data and uncertainties, a senior engineer needs to be able to make a decision and be accountable for it in order to move the project forward. I think a good interview question would be to ask about their difficult design decisions.

2. Be able to identify wrong solution (most of the time) - maybe this comes with technical competency but a lot of resource is wasted chasing solutions that with the benefit of experience, should have been evident early on.
This is literally just taken from a fiction book.

It's a good book, I enjoyed it. But,it's just a story. Geo engineering should probably be done pretty carefully

I don't know how much you adjust your thermostat, but I would want more excuses to use it - something more interactive such as a TV remote! But it would be interesting to have a thermostat knob that 'resists' your twisting based on the estimated energy usage to produce your requested temperature, as an intuitive way of conveying heating/cooling costs.
True but I don’t think this gets it quite right.

The big problem with classic Mac was the cooperative multitasking weird OS and the unstylish and clunky hardware. The UI needed polish and modernization but was not fundamentally bad.

The complete loss of OS coherence has a lot more to do with the web than anything else.
You can certainly use the form that way, as your own instance of a checklist, and it seems the site has the purpose of providing such mini 'applications' in a local-store friendly manner - see the Travel checklist on the same site, for example.

Pretty nifty, if you think about it. Storage stays local, it looks like .. but I am not an expert. I just like the form of this.

3-digit slashdot ID's notwithstanding, I hope we see a revival of cute little cottage-/hobby sites like this, or a kind of perpetually simple cache of folks who just render their genius to static files, in cute ways, and leave it at that... over and over for a few years.
Okay, so you know streams in Java. You know a Collector? A transducer is roughly a Function<Collector, Collector> (with some more type variables to make that valid). Given a Collector, a transducer will make another Collector which does some stuff to its input and delegates to the underlying Collector.

The nice thing about this is that you can implement all the non-terminal operations on Stream in terms of this. Mapping is passing each input element through a function before passing it on. Filtering is testing each element with a predicate, and only passing it on if it passes. Flat mapping is passing the element through a function to get a number of new elements, then passing them all on one by one.

But you can do more! You can write a transducer which batches elements, a bit like the inverse of flat mapping. You can't do that with the existing Streams API at all!

The things transducers operate on, which Clojure calls reducing functions, end up being a bit different to Collectors: their accumulate operation returns a boolean to control early stopping, which lets them implement take while, limit, and so on, and that means they can't be parallel. But the vibes are exactly the same.
As long as we're sharing our own projects...

One of the things I did during the pandemic lockdown was work on the simplest possible blog in a single html file. Something that requires essentially no technical knowledge beyond typing text into a file. I recently dusted it off and yesterday I posted the most recent iteration.

Demo: https://bachmeil.github.io/minblog/blog.html

Source: https://github.com/bachmeil/minblog/blob/main/blog.html

There's very little styling, but that's not the objective (and it'd be trivial to add).
I have a blog, but I mostly assume people _don't_ care what I'm doing or thinking. Some of my posts have probably never been read by anybody. I still personally find it worthwhile for a few reasons:

- The mere possibility that someone will see it pushes me to put more thought and effort into what I write. Sometimes this reveals weaknesses in my ideas that I would have glossed over if I were just writing private notes for myself; sometimes it leads me to actually change my opinions. It also means the blog posts are easier for me to understand / get value out of than notes are if I come back and reread them years later.

- It creates opportunities for people to connect with me which can pay off at unexpected times. Occasionally people have reached out to me to say a post helped them or resonated with them, or to give a thoughtful reply or ask a question. Those sorts of interactions are really satisfying even if they're rare. (One time, I was interviewing for a dev job and the interviewer asked a question about a post I'd written on the philosophy of John Rawls, and how it could connect to software engineering. I found that absolutely delightful.)

- It's just nice to have an outlet when I feel like writing about something.
> I don’t think it’s illegal to correlate, particularly for public posts.

I don't know if this law only affects business or the gov too, but the California Privacy Act says:

> The right to know about the personal information a business collects about them and how it is used and shared;

and also

> The right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information collected about them

but I'm pretty sure the gov will excuse themselves from laws made for businesses.

What I don’t understand here is how missing a frame deadline in this situation (<1/60 of a second or 16ms) is intolerable when typical network latency varies constantly by much more than this. It seems to me that if the latency requirements were this strict you could only support LAN multiplayer.

If you want to support players with ping over 16ms, there's no way you're gonna be synchronizing input from one frame to the output of the same frame for another player; there'll necessarily be some latency hiding, at which point any freeze should be coverable via just treating it as a temporarily-high ping and thus temporarily more latency hiding.

Absolutely - I think teaching programming in a language, framework or paradigm you (the teacher) does not know has huge advantages for a specific level of newcomer

In my experience it is a good lesson for about 50% of absolute beginners, but a great lesson for 99% of folks who have just started grokking their "first" language etc.

I am now in the process of teaching an absolute beginner in my family and in this case I'll stick to my specialties because I can tell they'll become frustrated if they can't get _something_ working on their own. Thus, I bet they want clear "unstucking" help rather than a "let me google that with you". They are more concerned with the 1st thing, and not the broader "how does someone who know this stuff goes about learning?"

Anyway, I digress - in any case these initial lessons are great for me as a teacher to experience that discovery through them
> Most infections were not from "airborne" transmission

Restating false information is not "proof".

Even the White House has now explicitly stated the new scientific consensus that Covid is primarily airborne and started talking about the sorts of mitigations that can be successful when you finally admit how the virus is spreading.

>The most common way COVID-19 is transmitted from one person to another is through tiny airborne particles of the virus hanging in indoor air for minutes or hours after an infected person has been there. While there are various strategies for avoiding breathing that air – from remote work to masking – we can and should talk more about how to make indoor environments safer by filtering or cleaning air.

The article states that usability is declining, the arguments to back that up are: things are somewhat inconsistent and I don't like [some UI patterns].

My point is that the claim is wrong, and the arguments don't support it and have little to do with usability.

This follows from a misconception that usability, UI, and user experience are the same thing, which is really showing a lack of understanding of what they actually are.

I write my comments in the hope that people will actually look into these topics more deeply as they are quite interesting and often require setting aside the preferences, gut instinct, and pet peeves this article is filled with.
But wouldn't it better to find a way to run it in userland for safety?

I know NFS was already part of the kernel. And I presume that by living inside the kernel there is a tight integration with file buffers/caching, and probably some extra performance too. Is that the main motivation here?
The key to all of those is they are digital files easily copied and deseminated online. It hard to hack a mechanical typewriter and or to exfiltrate physical documents locked in a filing cabinet in a secure facility. Then distributing them en mass the way the way digital channels like discord can is just not managable unless your a major news paper publisher. Digital information wants to be free, typewriten documents want to be locked in a documents warehouse missfiled and lost forever.

You advocate for change. You make the case.

Yes mistakes were made. The mask kerfuffle was a black eye on the CDC 100%.

But calling it overall insane and pretending everyone was ignorant at the time only makes sense if you are ignoring everything that wasn't eventually confirmed true.
Yeah, that makes sense—I thought op was suggesting it wasn’t primarily from observed data. Still, it seems clear that it should be possible to make conclusions about average temperature and trends from a large set of collected data, if it the statistical methodology is rigorous. Simply casting doubt (as it seems like the op is doing) without offering anything to question those methodologies adds nothing of value to the discussion.
Sure, but you're choosing that prioritisation. It's not being forced on you.

I'm not sure what you're arguing here. If you think 90% is pretty easy but 10% isn't then that's not in conflict with what I said.

I wouldn't say that all of that 90% is equally easy. There are challenges that increase as more power is made from solar/wind, and there are different challenges to making enough nuclear.

It’s been a while since I did any C#. How do I write a function that returns something that encapsulates the operations to perform on the stream that I can then compose with other operations? And can I then apply to whatever sequence abstraction I have? Isn’t it limited to things that implement IEnumerable? I seem to remember when transducers were introduced, one of the selling points was it wasn’t fixed to a specific sequence abstraction.
I have to admit I didn't actually read the article so wasn't trying to compare it with LFB's model, just wanted to expand on the mention of it. The bodily states are the inputs, but the interpretation and generation of emotions is context- and culture-dependent.

The fingerprint idea is that emotions are caused by body states without that layer of interpretation/construction, so you could look at bare metrics like blood pressure, arousal, and facial expression and derive which emotion the person must be feeling directly from them.
Jim Garrison was basically accused of among other things being an outright pederast in the New Orleans papers years ago so his credibility is a little suspect to say the least.

One reason that comes up every so often is that after someone goes extra crazy and kills a bunch of people his ( usually his for better or worse ) net presence is carefully scrutinized for any aberration that could have indicated he could and would have done it and then it is used to ask 'why didn't you some gov official do something?' And politicians like to stay in office.

Oddly, as bad as this practice is, it is likely one of the lower threats to privacy in US.
Thanks for the summary, mate.
I’ve had the good fortune to hire and work with a lot of ambitious engineers.

One trap with lists like this is that it can be easy to lose sight of your core workload. On more than one occasion I’ve had to ask senior engineers to pump the brakes on all of their mentoring, leading, organizing, example-setting, and helping activities because their own work was not getting done.

You only have so many hours in a work week. Get your priority work done first, then layer in additional activities selectively. Don’t think you need to be doing all of these things on the list all of the time.
A similar mechanism in another JVM language is Kotlin's sequences, which can also do windowed/chunked/batched operations by holding a little bit of intermediate state. Combine that with coroutines and it's pretty trivial to perform a parallel map/flatmap and saturate all cores. I'm surprised Streams can't do this.
