You know, that is interesting - it was a point of learning that in the 90's/00's but I don't see it really being a book presented today. I wonder how much knowledge society develops, says it's interesting/useful/informative, adapts it and then just forgoes it.

That's what it feels like now, just a circle.

Definitely Kyoto. TFA's rec of Night is Short certainly isn't wrong, but the classic Kyoto anime pilgrimage rec is the precursor show, The Tatami Galaxy. You can locate pretty much every scene from the show: https://jamesofwalsh.com/2015/05/17/tatami-galaxy-and-kyoto/

I should write up my explorations sometime as I think it was more detailed than any of the ones I can quickly find on Google in English, e.g. going out to the Keage Incline. It was a great excuse to wander around Kyoto, a great city.

While I'm talking about the Kyoto area and anime, I've got to add that if you've seen Chihayafuru, go to Omi Jingu (近江神宮). Otsu is right there and Lake Biwa is neat anyway. I was able to watch some live karuta, chat about the show and the game, buy some cards and very poorly attempt to play with them (sorry, haven't actually memorized 百人一首 yet!).
Yeah, I use offline maps. Lack of traffic info is sometimes an issue.

Do people really believe that? Maybe some people care about paying bills on time and will go balls-to-the-wall to make that happen. Not me, I learned to realize 'you get paid when I get paid, so fuck off.' Now, if we entered into a debt together, you know, with a contract. I always pay on time, but if you just show up saying I owe you money with the power to put it on my credit report ... fuck off.

I don't think there is actually any science behind what you (or they) are saying, but I could be wrong (I didn't find anything definitive on Google Scholar, but I might be searching for the wrong thing) -- this smells like "it's the status-quo, so why question it."
I've been using a flip phone for many years. I don't have a smart phone.

One of the challenges is traveling and transportation, and the solution is mostly just planning ahead.

- If driving to an unfamiliar place, study the map beforehand and print (or write) directions and tape it to the dashboard. For any parts of the route that seem tricky, look at Google Maps' street-level images to prepare for reality. (After 1-2 trips, though, I can usually get there and back unaided.)

- If taking public transit, note down basic timing info and stop IDs. The 5-1-1 phone number is often really helpful has well.

- If traveling internationally, just plan ahead carefully. The specifics here will vary wildly by destination, but for example I went to Germany earlier this year with prepurchased train tickets and was able to get where I needed to go.
Most people consider low-effort to be lazy.

You can absolutely put in a lot of hours, but be putting in near-zero effort. This results in sloppy or careless work, but the root cause is the laziness of the person.

Not a huge Steve Jobs fanboy, but I always liked his quote[1] about craftsmanship, sweating the details, and giving a fuck:

“When you’re a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you’re not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will ever see it. You’ll know it’s there, so you’re going to use a beautiful piece of wood on the back. For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through.”

I think software as a whole suffers greatly from this "well, I got it barely done, technically fulfilling the requirements, so my work is over" attitude.

Me too. There aren't many companies making similar devices, so Boox almost occupies a niche all by itself. I'm generally a fan of eInk stuff, their suspicion of/hostility towards the GPL makes me not want to support them.

Presumably because /proc/$PID/environ exists and can be read by the user that owns the process — which means that any attacker that can figure out how to spawn an arbitrary subprocess running as the daemon user (a pretty common vulnerability class!) can exfiltrate all your env-vars.

It's similar to the reason that you're not supposed to supply passwords on the command-line (/proc/$PID/cmdline exists), but instead either read them from stdin, or do the big dance of

1. creating a file that contains the password, is owned by root, and is 0400;

2. having your daemon start off running as root for just long enough to read the password into process memory;

3. then having your daemon drop privileges before doing any work, so that someone exploiting the daemon won't have the privilege as the "do the work" user to read the file with the password in it.
You see the problem though, don't you?

We can't define time with a day has x hours, an hour has y minutes, and a minute has z seconds.

If we define time outside of the rotation of the earth, metric is meaningless. We should be able to adjust. Let's say earth sped up. We should be able to say a day has more seconds now.

My guess is you define a second as the following?

A more precise definition of a second is the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium 133 atom.

Ok that's good. In practice, we aren't very scientific. It will matter whether a minute has 60 seconds or 61 seconds or 100 seconds. I'm guessing we will have bigger problems if earth rotation spend up or slowed down considerably anyway.

> none of this has anything to do with utilitarianism

"Always go for C (or any strategy)" is not in general a utilitarian strategy, so the mugger would not expect Bentham to employ it.

Your argument assumes that the characters have perfect knowledge, but the point of the parody is that utilitarian choices can change as more information is revealed.

Yes, the mugger could have said something like "if I were to promise to cut off my finger unless you gave me £10, would you do it?", Bentham could have have followed up with "if you knew I would reply no to that question, would you make that promise?", the mugger could have replied "no," Bentham could have responded "In that case, no", and the mugger would have walked away. But Bentham doesn't have all the information until he is faced with the loss of a finger which he can prevent by giving up £10. Bentham is obliged to do so, as it maximises the overall good at that (unfortunate) point.

The idea that Bentham can be "trapped" in a situation where he is obliged to cause some small harm to himself in order to prevent a greater harm is the parody of utilitarianism which is at the heart of the story.

Well were you excited to work there? For a startup that usually matters as much or more than technical skills and experience. If the founders are giving you a significant chunk of equity in their company then they want to make sure you are in it for the right reasons, and won't bounce as soon as you reach your vesting cliff.

If you think answering this simple question is a hit on your pride then yeah, you were probably not a good fit.
An idea can have harmless substance, but can become harmful when phrased certain ways. Not just harmful when spoken, but harmful to your mindset. Because the words you're choosing to construct this idea are creating and reinforcing biases that you may not even know about.

The problem with the phrasing I see is that "I'm better because" sets up a comparison by which the peer you've compared yourself to has no way to actually overcome it. It's also a qualitative judgement _on the whole person_.

Let's take an example.

"[I think I'm a better developer because] I'm into software engineering because I like it."

I would instead choose to phrase as:

"I think my development ability progresses quickly because I like it."

With the latter phrasing, you can be correct. You can even prove yourself correct. You can make it a comparison—"I think I'll learn [x] more quickly than this person"—without saying they're a worse person or worse developer, just a _different_ developer.

I guess that thinking in this way will help you value others more. By seeing the ways in which you're different from another developer as a good thing for both of you. By giving people room to succeed and appreciating it even if the way they succeed is different from you. By preventing yourself from thinking "I'm a better developer" when you're having a conversation with a person, so you aren't silently dehumanizing them while pretending not to.

That's how I burned out of software.

On a mature project in a small team, the only tickets left were hard bugs that nobody wanted. The kind of bugs where you can invest days and have nothing really to show for it except crossing out some suspicions. Or maybe incorrectly crossing one out and then going on a wild goose chase until you circle back to it in a week, flustered.

You're expected to commit all of your mental energy to these tickets day after day, and then once you finally triumph and solve the bug after coffee or amphetamine binges, you turn in the code, close the ticket, and you're expected to immediately work on the next ticket.

You don't get a real break. But you can mentally rest at the start of the next ticket since nobody expects instant results. But now it's been a couple days and people are asking you what you've been doing so far—you must be blocked, right?—but you've barely started and you're pressured to invent small lies and excuses about why you're behind, each one risking yet another slip of the mask.

And when you need some time off the most, it's when you're the most behind of all and people have begun to notice, so taking the time off doesn't even seem like an option.

A good way to do this is to replace Geometry class. It is only there because Euclid’s Elements was read by Charlemagne’s kids. Geometry teaches proof, but a very outdated style of proof. It should be replaced with formal proofs, written in Lean or Coq. Since “a proof is a program”, it would also introduce programming into the curriculum.

I appreciate this analogy, but Jobs made this work by creating a leadership culture that was obsessed with quality and craftsmanship. By all accounts he would regularly refuse to ship hardware and software that wasn't up to his standards and fired people for not building things to the right specifications. In contrast, most of us work in organizations with the exact opposite leadership mentality, namely "get your work done as quickly as possible so we can sell more product, and fudge whatever you have to to make it through quality testing unscathed".
We're a new startup that has recording -> docs, not slides yet, but it's easy enough to go that direction. We just started a beta of a product that is a drop in loom replacement and “smarter” in that we both generate doc artifacts and completely index not just what you said but what you showed on screen (OCR) and what you did (captured actions) to make everything easier to find, easier to get quick answers from (built in chat assistant who “watched” the video already), etc. Taking on new beta users and feedback on feature requests, check out a post about it here: https://www.augmend.com/blogiverse/augshare-0-2 or drop me a note diamond@augmend.com
Typically this is because programmers are treated as workers on assembly line instead of carpenters making beatiful chest of drawers.
> workflows like git send-mail and mailing lists not only drive away a significant number of potential contributors

A GitHub PR is way more steps than e-mailing a patch to a mailing list, and far less accessible. Have you never done the "sign the contributor license agreement and get the GitHub bot to approve it" polka? I've done it a dozen times now, it's painful and way more gatekeepery than just emailing a patch.

Environmentalists would go nuts. And I don't blame them, considering the drawn up plan to turn the bay into a river from long ago. Once you fuck an environment, it's very time consuming and expensive to unfuck it.

IIRC there's also a strict 1-for-1 policy: for every foot of land you take from the bay, you have to reclaim a foot of land for the bay elsewhere. Despite this, people will still fight it.

I'd at least debate if it's much harder to learn a new web framework and it's concepts or whatever is required to solve the ML tasks at a company. If you know how database+frontend+backend work (and are already used to HTML/CSS/SQL//JS+another language), you can also on the job learn a new framework.

Knowing the library is the least hard part about ML work just like knowing the web framework is the least hard part about webdev (both imo). It's much more important to understand the actual problem domain and data and get a smooth data pipeline up and running.

Scaling, optimizing inference, squeezing out better performance and annoying labeling. There's a pretty solid gap from applying some framework to a preexisting and never changing dataset vs. curating said dataset in a changing environment. And if we're talking about RL and not just supervised/unsupervised then building a suitable training environment etc. also become quite interesting.

If someone asked me "what's so hard about webdev" my answer would be similar btw...it's fairly easy to set up a reasonably complicated "hello world" project in any given framework but it gets a lot harder when real world issues like different auth worklflows, security, scaling and handling database migrations etc. enter the picture.
After having just spent a month in Utrecht you are 100% right. Your comment made me smile.
I wish there was a generic control plane for generating and shipping config to apps. Kinda what Envoy proxy has, but capable of shipping arbitrary schema.

Many complications of config management will go away then. Every app instances knows just its ID, then everything else (region, cluster, stage, current experiment, maintenance, anything else) is discovered by "configd" service and config suitable for that very instance is returned. Not unlike feature flags, but for backend services.

OPA (Open Policy Agent) comes close: it has data sources (so it can fetch inventory from cloud providers, kubernetes, any other internal system) and Rego language to program config generation, but it doesn't have means to notify instances of config updates, so they have to resort to polling.
> env variables might leak, e.g. in context of docker build stages etc. (but then using building a docker image to build both the image and the software is often anyway not a good idea)

Since the rule describes runtime configuration, it shouldn't be involved with the build process at all

I've read several studies that say that you're wrong. You need to get your information from other places than nuclear trade organizations.

The reason storage hasn't been yet been addressed much is simply that the demand is not there yet. But as one example, you can produce biogas and use the existing gas infrastructure.
IMO you can only learn al that by doing a few successful ML projects end-to-end. So, a few years?

>Sometimes, I just CBF. I spent months (part time, of course) building out an end-to-end test system for my open source project Lazygit, and every day I think of all the regressions that system has prevented and how much harder it would be to add that system now given how many tests have been written since. I know for a fact it was worth the effort. So why haven’t I added end-to-end tests to my other project, Lazydocker? Because I CBF.

Building end to end tests is hellishly annoying and a huge amount of work if the tooling to do it just isn't there. There needs to be better drop in default frameworks for building them.
