“objectively inferior” is rare if it happens at all. Maybe you’re resume will never be good enough in Jane Street’s eyes to get an interview, but unless you also write fintech in OCaml, I bet you’re better than the interns at some niche in software development.

These are young interns too. If you’re a senior dev, after a few months of learning OCaml and the popular open-source Jane Street libraries, you maybecould implement any one of these projects.
My account is roughly 19 years old. Registered for Half-Life 2. I bought it on disc but a steam account was required play. It was a very controversial move on those days.
> For smaller indie studios, there are definitely better alternatives, but when it comes to the big packages, there's really just Unity and Unreal.

Or big studios can just build their own engine. Lots of big studios still do this. Once they run the math on how much licensing will cost them, they realize they can pay several inhouse devs to just make a bespoke engine for the same cost. And then further amortize that NRE cost over several titles.

Will this licensing change hurt big studios in the short run? Unlikely. Could it hurt Unity in the long run once big studios realize they can just build exactly what they want inhouse for the same (or less) cost? Much more likely.

As for small studios: small studios eventually become big studios. If they burn the small studios now, they won't have big studios buying from them in 5-10 years.
That's how almost all malware was installed though. Linux really isn't any more resistant to malware than anything else.

I was wondering how this compared to motorcycles, and didn't realize that today's production motorcycles are not significantly faster than modern hypercars, the fastest motocycle clocking in at 2.2 seconds [1]

Ignoring the million dollar sports cars, other cars such as Porsche 911 turbo s from 2020 is 2.1s.[2].

I know, Tesla and Lucid, etc are also crazy fast, but I believe their quoted 0-60 times are all with a roll-out.

Every mac I've bought in the last ~15 years has had <24 hour delivery from China, so either they're flying it, have some magical teleporter, or are completely lying in their order tracking for no clear reason.
I tend to ignore all those articles, they keep talking about the same old things but using different names.
Providing food stamps for low income is privatizing profits (the receivers of food stamps) and socializing losses (everyone who pays taxes).

It’s a pointless saying because it describes far more than the idiots who parrot it really intend and when you actually analyze what it means to be against it, the outcome is the opposite of what socialists want.
You can have a regular 1:1 with your mentor, even if that person isn't your manager. I have a regular 1:1 with a developer who will eventually take over some of my responsibilities, but he doesn't formally report to me.

What I meant to say is that, if one uses a featureful calculator like qalc, then you get unit conversion included without needing two separate utilities. Of course, if you've used a(n obscure) calculator for decades then it may be easier to learn to use a separate unit convertor instead
If the blog author is reading, some notes for improvement:

- Your odds calculation is likely wrong. You assumed from the word "odds" that "odds ratio" was meant, (Odds=3 meaning "odds 3:1 against" corresponding to p=25%) but the phrase is "approximate odds 1 in X" (Odds=3 meaning "odds of 1 in 3 to win" meaning 33%) and recalculating results in the remarkably exact expected value of $80 which seems intentional?

- You phrase things in terms of variances, people will think more in terms of standard deviations. So 3.5 ± 1.7 vs $80 ± $12,526.

- Note that you try to make a direct comparison between those two but the two are in fact incomparable. The most direct comparison might be to subtract 1 from the die roll and multiply by $32, so that you have a 1/6 chance of winning $0, 1/6 of winning $32, ... 1/6 of winning $160. So then we have $80 ± $55 vs $80 ± $12,526. Then instead of saying you'd need 50 million more lottery tickets you'd actually say you need about 50 thousand more. This is closer to the "right ballpark" where you can tell that the whole lottery is expected to sell about 10,200,000 tickets on a good day.

- But where an article like this should really go is, "what are you using the numbers for?". In the case of the Texas lottery this is actually a strong constraint, they have to make sure that they make a "profit" (like, it's not a real profit, it probably goes to schools or something) on most lotteries, so you're actually trying to ensure that 5 sigma or so is less than the bias. So you've got a competition between $20 · n and 5 · $12,526 · √(n), or √(n) = 12526/4, n = 9.8 million. So that's what the Texas Lottery is targeting, right? So then we would calculate that the equivalent number of people that should play in the "roll a die linear lottery" we've constructed is 187, call it an even 200, if 200 people pay $100 for a lottery ticket on the linear lottery then we can pretty much always pay out even on a really bad day.

- So the 50,000x number that is actually correct is basically just saying that we can run a much smaller lottery, 50,000 times smaller, with that payoff structure. And there's something nice about phrasing it this way.

- To really get "law of large numbers" we should actually probably be looking at how much these distributions deviate from Gaussian, rather than complaining that the Gaussian is too wide? You can account for a wide Gaussian in a number of ways. But probably we want to take the cube root of the 3d cumulant, for example, try to argue when it "vanishes"? Except given the symmetry the 3rd cumulant for the die is probably 0 so you might need to go out to the 4th cumulant for the die -- and this might give a better explanation for the die converging more rapidly in "shape" to the mean, it doesn't just come close faster, it also becomes a Gaussian significantly faster because the payoff structure is symmetric about the mean.
Rather than argue about this, perhaps it may be better to see if you can get your son to be interested in practicing calligraphy, where the whole point of the exercise is to write in beautiful way. Otherwise, you're trying to win an argument about something that is often tangential to another goal.

You and I both have terrible handwriting. In my life, it hasn't been a hindrance to my work as a software engineer so maybe your son has a point. However, I do agree that doing things well has merit but maybe reframing it will get you farther along this goal. And lastly, maybe you can achieve the same goal through other means? Perhaps in playing an instrument or practicing some other skill. I think the value you want to teach your son is practicing something and doing it well. It doesn't need to be handwriting.

I wouldn't recommend this.

I bought into the 'Volta' ecosystem and the adapters started degrading within 6 months. I would only trust a product from a major electronics producer, not these random brands on Amazon. If none of the big players have this as a product, it smells of a reason why it isn't a thing. Otherwise, I really wanted it to be. I hate the damage plugging cables in and out of devices does to the phone's power sockets over time.
Basically, as per everything these days, the entire software industry is based on "download and run any old shit off the Internet" with little to no fucks given about the source or trustworthyness or correctness. End users are no better because for most people, including a lot of novice Linux users, this isn't even considered as part of fixing or dealing with any particular problem. Cut / paste / job done.

Worst is I've seen CD/CI systems which just pull unsigned unverified binaries off the internet and build software from github, random APT and YUM repos, all sorts of shit. This is then all thrown together and pushed into production systems.
It's not the same physical module. The physical aspects they list (megapixels, aperature) are the same, but the actual 48MP sensor they use is improved.

"iPhone 15 pro features a more advanced 48MP main camera, with an even larger sensor than iPhone 15 [and therefore iPhone 14 Pro]. The camera includes a new nanoscale coating to reduce lens flare."

They also mention it enabling new focal lengths and better low light performance.
The water cycle is a great example because it is filtering the water as it goes, rapidly producing fresh water that rains on the land. Methane, likewise, is a short-lived byproduct of excess animal activity, and in a steady state sustainable mode, we have equality. The problem is the finger of oil on the scale, not the grass-raised beef, just like how excess bovines produce excess methane.

I know so many people that shove used pots/pans in the oven when they just can't face doing the washing. Turning the oven on when you're not home just sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Huy Fong’s sriracha (rooster sauce) is sriracha in name only. If that’s what you’re looking to replicate, then this blog post isn’t going to help you.

Its Chinese-Vietnamese immigrant founder didn’t really know how to make it. He just kept experimenting until he got the flavor that he wanted, but it’s not an authentic flavor. Instead, it’s an original American hot sauce where just a few years ago most people in Asia were very unfamiliar with since the company doesn’t really like to do advertising.
TIL: "wrought" means about the same as "worked", but it has a more "tangible" sense to it, like doing some smithery/forgery.
Thanks for this. I just bought a Watch Ultra two weeks ago, so wondered if I had missed out not waiting for this announcement. I can't see that the Ultra 2 offers anything new. Battery life, form factor, feature set - I'm at a loss to identify anything meaningful that has even changed let alone improved.
The people that imitated Steve Jobs' worst traits under the auspices that they were "as smart and driven" as him and therefore should mimic some of these traits was rather maddening.

These weren't hidden gems either, these were front and center promoted links in the App Store. I'm sure it's possible to find experiences like these in modern games, but I've given up hope long ago. I don't have time to sift through the trash.
I don't know whether you're mocking them or being supportive of them or just stating a fact. Either way, education level has no bearing on subject knowledge. I know more about how computers, compilers, and software algorithms work than most post-docs and professors that I've run into in those subjects.

Am I smarter than them? Nope. Do I know as many fancy big words as them? Nope. Do I care about results and communicating complex topics to normal people? Yep. Do I care more about making the company money than chasing some bug-bear to go on my resume? Yep.

I fucking hate school and have no desire to ever go back. I can't put up with the bullshit, so I dropped out; I just never stopped studying and I don't need a piece of paper to affirm that fact.

> It comes with one USB-C to USB-C charging cable

Why not a USB-A to USB-C cable? The vast majority of existing chargers and computer/console/car ports are USB-A.

Seems like this is forcing people to buy USB-C chargers.
USB 2.0 vs 3.0 has nothing to do with power delivery.

The only meaningful difference between 2.0 and 3.0 for the iPhone use-case is transfer speeds, and the simple reality is that the overwhelming majority of iPhone owners only use a cable to charge their phone, not to transfer data on/off it.
I assumed it was meant for occasional use by people on the go (like on an airplane without a charging port) who need to charge their AirPods case.

It seems unlikely that people will routinely charge their AirPods from their phone when they could just as easily use the same charger that they just charged up their phone with.
Sony still have SD slots and headphone jacks in their top-line Xperias, I switched there from Samsung for exactly that reason.

I dunno, 2 of these are at top CS schools that I can't get into, and most of their intern class is from Harvard/CMU/MIT/Stanford/Waterloo and the like. I think I might actually just be objectively inferior in all regards, not just technical or in software.

I don't have to deal with this because I don't have a weird inferiority complex towards people who work at some trading firm. The people I know who work there are decent programmers, but as luck would have it I know good programmers outside of Jane Street as well.

> how do others deal with being objectively inferior, in basically every way, to the types of people that work at Jane Street?

How do I deal with being inferior to Alexander the Great? You just acknowledge that you are you, with your own quirks and limitations. Being surrounded by people who appreciate you makes you not really care about comparisons.
Wait, that can't be right, it would be ludicrous. Once a game passes the threshold it pays per-install permanently? That's so wildly horrible of a pricing model that I just have to assume that's not what they intend, even a completely out-of-touch exec should be able to see the problems with that.

Have a game that's profitable enough to pass the threshold and then interest drops off? You're suddenly incentivized to completely take it off of the market and remove the game from people's libraries since you'll keep racking up fees from installs even if no one ever buys another copy.

I'm not denying that the quote does seem to imply what you're saying, but I have to believe that's a misprint or bad writing on their part, the implications of the threshold being lifetime sales are so bad. The policy is bad, but there's no way Unity is that comically out of touch, is there?

"I got some clarifications from Unity regarding their plan to charge developers per game install (after clearing thresholds)

Yes, agreed, music has a particular value to a person (I was going too say 'intrinsic' but it is personal) as well.

But shared love of music, or shared experiences of music transcends this value IMO; and is largely orthogonal.

"That song we danced to", "what we sang at the campfire", crab dance for LTT watchers, 'easy for ENZ' for CSGO players, a national anthem to a nationalist, ... the music matters a little but it's only really a rallying point for shared experiences.

Well, if you're in the CG, and you spot a homemade vessel that's clearly not seaworthy, and it appears to be headed to parts unknown, do you

or (2) approach homeboy close to shore so you can stop him and short-circuit the whole tragedy?

I know which one involves less paperwork.

In fact, since this isn't the first time that homeboy has pulled this stunt, dollars to donuts says that the CG knows him on sight.
