I find that tends not to be true, although this may be a cultural thing. When people say "A is B", what I find they usually mean is "I think that A is B, but I have not questioned this opinion particularly strongly and do not have a confidence level attached to this belief". And very often the default confidence level people attach to their unquestioned opinions is relatively high, which means for them it typically lies relatively close to the "I am certain" mark.

This is why I find it's really helpful to purposefully indicate when I'm saying things that are merely my opinions, when I'm saying things that I'm certain about, and when I'm somewhere in-between. Partly, it indicates to the to the other person the degree to which I hold a given opinion, but it mainly just helps me hold myself accountable about the assumptions I'm making: is this something I have sincerely thought about and formulated a belief about, or is this just an intuition that I've not tested yet?
I assume you mean most or all scientists. Why should they?
My blind stab at it is this encryption always produces an output that's not validated to be what was originally encrypted and it does so in a way you could even intentionally damage a specific portion of the data without needing to know how to decrypt it.

Curious to see how wrong I am :).

You've completely fabricated entire activities that the OP never even mentioned.
exactly. While living in Germany I had an expensive supermarket in walking distance, but I'd almost never go there because I used the car to go to work and stopped at a cheaper one on the way back. In Austria in the cities it's almost impossible to go by car to work because parking is incredibly expensive so most people use public transport or bikes
Of course plastic itself is a huge issue, and a gross misuse of an amazing technology IMO. On the one hand it's an amazing material that has been vital to technological progress by enabling electrification, plumbing and all sorts of advanced manufacturing.

On the other hand it's vastly overused in packaging and the amount of molded plastic created with zero consideration of end-of-life is staggering.

Everything from phones, keyboards, mice, monitors, speakers, webcams, microphones, joypads, printers (just looking around my desk here) to combs, toothbrushes, sneakers, clothes, kitchen appliances, TOYS/Lego etc., and that's just durables.

Then you have all the use-once-and-dump packaging - bottles, straws and plastic grocery bags kind of get most of the attention but when you start to look around you notice how much of is used for cosmetics, food containers etc.
Thanks for the explanation. It makes perfectly sense.

Absolutely, great question. Looking at any one policy there can be differences, I'm more thinking about the broad vision for each party.
Im not actually familiar with the specific LGBT protections that Republicans may want to roll back, or whether it's political pandering versus proposed legislation. If you don't mind expanding on what they're targeting I'd be interested to hear more.

A separate, though just as divisive topic, is abortion rights. I've watched for 20+ years as each side screams across the aisle and yes they have different opinions but at the end of the day it has always seemed to me a battle over where to draw the line. Both sides support new legislation, and therefore new governmental reach, defining what a person can do with their body. They can't agree on when an unborn child is considered human and must be protected, but both sides want the government to tell us what we can or can't do.

Growing up in the 90s the parties were always pitched as big government vs small government, balanced budget vs spending for social causes, war hawks vs anti-war, etc. My opinion at this point is that we have two parties that are different in degree but not kind - both are pro-war, big government, money printing machines that have done a great job at keeping up a front of a two party system. This is why I say the left/right split seems lost here today, I don't see any divide in core principals driving the parties.

Granted, though, that for anyone who is a one or two issue voter there can be very different policies that would push one to either side.

Yeah, FWIW my first production ZFS deploy was on FreeBSD over 10 years ago. It was rock solid (though low-demand).

We recently purchased a similar server.

One thing to note is that a VAR (as mentioned elsewhere) will knock 75% off the price listed on Dell’s website.

Another this is that that is way too cheap for those SSDs. Enterprise SAS (not plain SATA) SSDs are a lot more than $310. Our 7.68TB drives are about $2k each, but worth it if they stay problem free.

Even on Newegg, SAS SSD of that size are $900-2000, so add warranty and service on top of that.
hey Chris :) I'll email you!
That's highly dependent on access patterns and domain space.

When I was optimizing for render sorting on mobile hardware we knew we would never see 2k+ drawcalls and cache aware tuning gave us huge end-user facing benefits.
OK, fiction writers aren't (often) scientists so while such discussions might be interesting you should not take them as authoritative & evidence based.
It's a slightly eugenic fallacy which assumes that a) poor people are poor because they're stupid and feckless, and no other reason like the inbuilt injustices on our society (it's considerably easier to stay rich than to get rich) and b) education, upbringing and innate intelligence are the same thing. Life situation isn't genetics.
I loved learning Haskell and wish Haskell and its ecosystem long life and prosperity.

But I find it hard to choose Haskell for practical projects because there are so many options so many cool ways of doing things and there is always that latest better approach and I find myself into a permanent research mode where I learn a lot and get not much done.

The least losing move was probably to indicate that the “more political” statement provided by the boss seemed to be false, and ask for supporting information and/or to work together to find a defensibly true statement that was suitably politically acceptable.

Now, if the boss is committed to outright fraud, this is still going to be a problem, but it lets you separate out that case and puts you in the best armed position if you need to go above or around them in the org on the issue, and does as much as you can to avoid the firm committing fraud and to avoid yourself being an active participant if that happens.
These performance improvements are absolutely insane, and churning out certs at speed is the _perfect_ use case for these CPUs.

Exactly. I find splitting your struct into 2 structs based on memory access patterns(1 used all the time and the other for data) is a huge win.
It perhaps not much of a consolation, but it is just as well that railway infrastructure itself ages slowly. Public transport is considerably less expensive in Germany compared to my country (Britain, specifically England): a German Deutschlandticket costs €49 per month and provides unlimited rail travel on non-express lines, and unlimited local bus travel. A typical 5 hour rail journey - one off, one way - booked months in advance currently costs about €200 in Britain. It's a high-quality service, but not in any way affordable for the majority of workers to commute with.

The reason I bring this up is to say that Germany is still doing a great job at making rail public transport available, despite the crumbling infrastructure. As long as it can still get you from A to B reliably and safely, it is making a positive contribution to reducing the carbon footprint of travel. Hopefully, by the time that the infrastructure has degraded to the point where the service is dangerous or out of capacity, various components will have become slightly cheaper as well (rail crimping, for instance).
That's a really interesting idea.

I'm pretty sure the Blizivison acquisition went through in both the US and EU. Microsoft's not really a huge player in gaming; Xbox and Windows combined are still tiny compared to the other consoles and mobile platforms. And if they use a similar playbook like they did with the acquisition (promising cross platform compatibility for a decade or so), they honestly wouldn't be the worst stewards.

Today's Microsoft is kinda slow and boring, but that's probably the kind of business you want managing a game engine. Reliable, stable to the point of being stale, but reliable. No sudden surprises that give you 3 months to reinvent your last five years of work.
Thanks for finding this out as a codepage issue. The implementation of the operator<< will indeed call ostream::widen() to expand character into a locale dependent equivalent.
That's a extremely dismissive opinion of something billions of people believe in.

Its also worth noting that any concept we have written down is a bunch of made up shit, invented by people along the way to try to explain the world around us.
> Words have meaning. They can explain what’s really going on, and suggest what should be done next. The word “fail” accomplishes neither.

I disagree. Failure prompts me to examine what went wrong and what I can change to make an improvement. Realizing that I failed gives me motivation to do this analysis and improve next time.

> There are moments when we’ve truly, irrevocably, fatally failed, and we should say so. If a company has to shut down, especially before it achieved some meaningful success, then okay, we failed.

Wait, what? Why is that not part of some larger iteration as well? Many founders stumble on their first company or two before finding success in a later attempt.

Look, there are small failures and there are big failures, and I agree you can recover from small failures more easily than you can recover from big ones. But that doesn't change the definition of failure. Call it what it is.

Because there's no such thing as a free lunch, running your own datacenter (or managing datacenter managed services) is work, and the clouds are better at providing exactly the compute you need when you need it than buying a ton of excess hardware you might or might not use (or can't scale quickly enough if you _do_ use it all)

A datacenter makes sense if your usage profile is steady state and hardly ever changes, or if growth rate is predictable and capacity can be procured in advance. Any other use case is better suited for the cloud, IMO.
‘Fair’ and ‘reasonable’ in this case.

The note on not being able to allow only one horcrux to resurrect the original file feels unintuitive. I mean I get it'd be a pretty useless thing to do (as you'd effectively have just used an extremely complicated method of copying a file in a way it could still be read by anyone who gets a copy) but it seems odd you couldn't actually do it.
I find myself doing this for tech debt items far too often.
I'm belittling it because it's obviously wrong. Every other field has survived digital piracy just fine, and the benefits of book piracy go weeeeeeeeeelll beyond short term entertainment. Like being able to educate yourself on any topic irrespective of your wealth.

Beyond that, thirty years of digital piracy have had a negligible effect on the industry as a whole, as with all other industries.

It is definitely not "small authors" pushing to close off what might be some of the greatest public sources of human knowledge in history, it's overwhelmingly the publishers, as they have catastrophized in every other field too.

Yeah, I was considering Rust, and actually originally thought I'd be asking this question about the 3 of them.

I guess I figured I wanted to do a more academic language first, and that there may be a chance I'd have a practical use-case actually crop up for Rust at some point (in particular if I want/need to write/generate some WebAssembly, which may be the case for a project I may embark on).

This holds back people of every level. Paradoxically I think it holds senior people back more because once someone gets a sufficiently senior label, they think they should have all the answers and stop asking questions

Gay marriage is such an interesting one to me because by voting that through we effectively removed regulation rather than added it.

I was such a big advocate for the push to legalize gay marriage because the government has absolutely no business telling people who they can and can't marry, and the legal distinction caused ridiculous ripple effects in everything from healthcare to taxes for anyone that wasn't allowed to marry their partner.

At this point I guess the political debate would be that the government can, in fact, tell us who we're allowed to marry?
The necessity of the verbal construct "I think X" logically suggests that all the other times someone is lying. Which isn't the case, I just find the implication funny.

People have a weird relationship with confidence. Because most people can't assess facts for themselves (reality is horrible, complex and it is good strategy to let someone else figure it out) they rely on the speaker's confidence to gauge how true something is. I guess is there is some sort of follow-up social system to punish people when their expressed confidence is out of line with what the expert consensus is, treating them as though they were exposed liars.

So on the one hand I personally prefer your approach - it is easier just to add a mental "I think" in front of everything everyone says because that is the real situation. And on the other don't expect the flowery language to go away because there is a social game playing out.
I'm reading it as "execOS" but I could be wrong.

There are some things that are just plain Bad and should be illegal, like theft.

There are other things that aren't really great for us, but we (well, some of us) derive pleasure from them, or some of us do. Like alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, eating beef, and so on.

The best thing to do with those is not outlaw them, but tax them.
I think my intent is less different from what you stated on how it comes across.

Especially this bit "I’ve worked with people who are so unafraid of being wrong that they can’t be trusted.". Hopefully the article doesn't come across as "be mindless" in the workplace. In fact in the conclusions I state that this is no substitute for hard work and thinking critically.

> "first construct a hypothetically ideal workplace and then explain how to operate"

I don't think this is what I stated but I know it wasn't the intent. Hopefully, working on a psychologically safe workplace isn't hypothetically ideal.

I'm definitely learning a few tricks on what I should be clearer by reading the comments though so thank you.

>I was idly wondering, today, if the capitalism was supercharged by the Protestant notion of idle-hands are sinful-hands?

German sociologist Max Weber was wondering the same question about a century ago and wrote a whole book about it called "The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism". The part where he talks about the Protestant notion of calling comes very close to what you described.

I read it a decade ago so the details are a bit fuzzy but I think the gist of it was it's super difficult to get into the heaven in Protestantism (it's actually pre-determined in Calvinism I think) and one needs to devote themselves to some task to avoid sinful earthly distractions. Also charitable works are kinda meaningless because only through faith you can be saved. So you have all these people who work all the time and who do not spend that much on poor people or themselves which helps with capital accumulation. Also with that mindset business becomes an end into itself that should be pursued for its own good so Weber thought this fostered the separation of personal affairs and business iirc.
