“The tactical tornado is a prolific programmer who pumps out code far faster than others but works in a totally tactical fashion. When it comes to implementing a quick feature, nobody gets it done faster than the tactical tornado. In some organizations, management treats tactical tornadoes as heroes. However, tactical tornadoes leave behind a wake of destruction. They are rarely considered heroes by the engineers who must work with their code in the future”

It shouldn't be. And that world could still be alive but we choose to keep it dead. Which is sad.

I'm also interested about what speeds and CL would that DIMM run. By the way I'm the one who started that ASRock forum topic, what a small world to randomly stumble here while scrolling HN.
In the end I put PC upgrade on hold, partly because of that AMD bios ECC support mess and also cannot find fast DIMM-s. Just looking today it seems ASRock has still not re-added ECC support info on AM5 board specs pages so the more people test those boards and meomory combinations the better for community.
The Library of Congress has a great film taken from the front of a cable car in pre-fire San Francisco [1]. It's absolutely terrifying to see how unsafe the streets were. It wasn't just cars either: horse-drawn carts dart in and out of traffic just as cars did, pedestrians cross at-will in front of all vehicles, and at one points kids mess about jumping on the back of vehicles.

It's obvious major regulation was needed, and not just for pedestrians. Pretend cars didn't exist on that street for a moment and think about the changes needed to make it safe: carts needed lanes and rules for changing lanes, cable cars needed dedicated lanes, intersections needed a system to allow traffic from multiple directions, and pedestrians were being a bit too free with their judgement calls.

If you cross the street "near" a red traffic light, that costs you 5€ in Germany. If you admit that you did it intentionally, the ticket price doubles. Happened to my wife some years ago when walking to a bus stop on the other side of the street. How did the cop know that it was intentional? She remarked that there was no car in sight, neither left nor right, on a straight road in town.

Oh, and what's the definition of "near" you may ask? While in Germany almost everything is regulated in detail, the definition of "near" is up to the cop.

ObJoke: it's midnight somewhere in Europe and no car in sight, but some people are waiting for the traffic light to turn green? You can bet that these are Germans ;-0
That is extremely rare above a certain age. It may be more common today, especially if you make a point of avoiding sports, but there are a ton of situations in which people gravitated to live TV until very recently (when some don't now have it).

Have you tried taking the time instead of asking for it? It works surprisingly well in my experience, with very little pushback (and when there's pushback, it's important to understand why and address it).
The first few months you focus on delivering value without rocking the boat. You probably don't have enough context to make any meaningful changes anyway. Then when it's time to groom stories, you select the time it takes to do a proper job, to make I improvements, and as long as it's not ridiculous, who's going to challenge you on it, and based on what?

Of course, you need to pick the right battles. Sometimes that hack to fix a production issue will stay like that for ages, and the proper fix will never be done, and that's the way it is.
I advocate for a non-naive optimism here because one’s views on this greatly influence one’s mental climate.

It would be nice to hear a bunch of ideas about it, because at this point I haven't given it too much thought.

My thinking is to use something like this, maybe with a separate tiny PCB to connect between both boards because I don't want to mess up the general outline of the board.
I think the downloaded version of Penrose puzzles does not currently contain enough info to run a solver on it. Because the grid is different every time and this info is not present in the downloaded file.

But I can tell you how it works for other grids =).

The contents of `tiles` key are an array of tile shapes. Possible directions where there are connections are binary-encoded. For example, on a square grid 1 means right, 2 means up, 4 means left and 8 means down. So a 3 means a corner piece connecting up and right, a 5 is a horizontal straight piece. A 0 means an empty tile, 15 in this case is a fully connected + tile. It's similar for other grids.

How the tiles are numbered depends on grid implementation. In a square 5x5 puzzle the indices would go like this:

0 1 2 3 4

5 6 7 8 9

...

You can look at grid implementations here: https://github.com/gereleth/hexapipes/tree/main/src/lib/puzz...

You can also import a downloaded puzzle (non-penrose) on the custom puzzle page and watch my solver work on it)). https://hexapipes.vercel.app/custom

> Michael Lewis's book is such an embarrassment to him that it may permanently ruin his reputation. It seems he was completely taken in by Sam Bankman-Fried

I doubt it will have any effect on his reputation at all.

He doesn't say Sam is innocent, heck he doesn't take sides at all.

He just writes about what he say without any judgement.

What specifically about the book do you think will may permanently ruin his reputation.
I think I'll end up applying a sliding cap to the cameras of my phone, to be sure I count up to ten before taking a picture. God forbids sharing it online.

But what if a friend of mine sends me a handmade meme with a child that is not recognized as safe by the AI?

Well, I guess that there will be thousands of parents under investigation and in the news before I pick my turn from the random distribution of the false positives. It's going to be interesting for the politicians in charge.
I am all for a pedestrian focused city, BUT cars will likely never fully disappear for emergencies, shipments, and people with disabilities.

In this particular situation I feel like while the Automakers had ulterior motives it was ultimately a net good. Pretty sure we know who will win in in a car vs a human body.

Also as much as I do believe in pedestrian focused cities, that isn't the norm in the US and likely will never be and will instead of smaller pockets (I mean it just makes sense given how large the country is). We should have more car free zones, but where we have to share the space it makes sense.

I am not going to sit here on a high horse and say I don't jay walk. But I do it knowing the risks.
All this will do is imperil the freedom of hundreds of millions of Europeans and drive the kiddy fiddlers to services that won't comply with EU surveillance: it is therefore a foregone conclusion that it's going to happen.
Simplistic arguments like this are one of the more annoying parts of the rhetoric of charter school advocates. It assumes that all charter schools are of high quality and that making education yet another thing that is economically stratified in the US is good. It’s ok to say that things that sound nice like choice in education can have knock on effects that are bad for society.

Very few things in this world are purely good.
The bit about Alameda being the only account allowed to run a negative balance is in the book. There's a whole section on it. It's kind of waved away, though, as being needed for market-making in the early days when volume was thin. But, of course that was never "fixed."

The book really seems to go out of its way to paint the collapse as a bunch of super smart kids getting in way over their heads rather than fraud.

Meaning, it harps on there being "no adults in the room", how SBF played video games while talking to people and never seemed to be paying attention, how the guy in charge of figuring out what happened to the money after the collapse came off like an amateur archeologist getting everything wrong based on the accounting artifacts because he lacked the imagination to understand the ridiculous way things "really" went down. The list goes on.

Nobody calls it '12 factor' anymore but we still adhere to a generic set of principles as a result (since 12-factor predated docker and kubernetes in the mainstream).

- Logs as a stream: yep, just write your logs to STDOUT instead of a file. Let the orchestrator deal with reading and storing it.

- Configuration in the environment. Apps tend to pull config from different sources depending on the deploy - maybe a .env locally and a secret store in production.

- Port binding - your app listens on a port and you put nginx or whatever in front of it and set up a reverse proxy. K8S services and ingress do that.

I think the biggest criticism you can lay down on 12 Factor these days is that it's not actually written very well and assumes you know exactly what it is talking about.

Quite the opposite. Automakers passed the responsibility on to people who don't even drive.
You looked both ways, and probably heard them coming even if not. You didn't get a ticket for not walking to the block corner.
The dresser matters as a craftsman producing a fine quality product. A good mass market product should have a plywood back, because pushing up the cost takes away from it's utility.

Generally speaking, modern management doesn't respect the business, they look at maximizing current P&L before all else. I worked at a place where the entire business was dependent on a true legacy system where 75% of the staff responsible for this core system retired years ago, and the rest literally died at their desks. They considered it their life's work and documented everything and advocated for a variety of sane plans to migrate.

What was the result? They're all dead. The last one was 74. The system remains, and they are paying the legacy vendor 50x and getting minimum viable support and zero enhancement, further increasing complexity. It's a shitshow for the company, but they still haven't moved to fix it. The lesson is, don't get emotionally invested in the company. That dude should have been watching his grandkids grow instead of slinging COBOL and JCL and hoping that someone would wake up and give a shit.
and then after Oct? would be great to get a realistic pricing expectation before jumping into it. Especially if it involves uploading docs and spending time working through the system.

Another question: (how) would it help going through proper certification? are you partnering with anyone there?

Otherwise it looks like it definitely has potential for the more mundane aspects of certification.

> In order for a candidate to win, they must win two elections. The first, or primary, election requires them to win a vote within their private club or party. Currently, that means that you have to be radical within that party

If that were true (of both parties), then President Sanders would be in his second term right now. The last two Democratic primaries were each taken by the most conservative candidate running.
The DoD is progressive in more than one way: unlike much of the rest of the country they also started desegregating during the 1948-1954 time period...
In other places cars are supposed to stop for pedestrians even on non crossings, in practice the penalties for hitting and killing them are way lower than killing a person in another situation.
The article mentions one school -- Caltech -- that is not requiring ACT scores right now. Where are you getting a moratorium on admissions out of that? They're still admitting students.
You're agreeing with me, the reason the US has two parties is because they barely have any specific identities or policies beyond being left/right. They don't really bother with manifestos, they routinely see people totally at odds with the party elites mount leadership challenges - which can work - and they don't whip, as you observe.

In a system in which parties stand for little, you don't develop third parties. But even in countries with tighter party discipline, like the UK, third parties struggle to justify their existence and stand out from the crowd.
I'm a huge hater of these and I think they almost always decrease readability of the code and slow down the development and review process.

It must be hard to get those experts out of the bushes. First, there is the fact that not every expert out there is after the money or working 60 hours a week, or even 40, or work at the office. Second, there is this thing about how much of a shit-show any hiring process is...

FHIR data viewer (a healthcare data format if you're new to FHIR). I've been working on it for some time now, and just released the Mac build a couple of weeks ago.

Had a 'soft launch' on LinkedIn a week ago that was very well received by my followers.

Still a lot of work to do before a commercial release - huge features missing. But last week's launch was positive - a real boost.

Totally! We're really love plain-text pkm.

We have this overall sense that "markdown is eating the world" in the sense that it is becoming a more and more ubiquitous and powerful format. What i would term "markdown plus" i.e. markdown plus extensions like frontmatter, wikilinks, typed backtick blocks you have something really pretty expressive - and add MDX and you have full JS(X) components.

At least, for reasonably small use cases (think under a 1000 items), this makes a collection of markdown files a great basis for a whole bunch of use cases from a document database to a PKM etc.
Two. And what's funny, I saw some of the fallout from the transition from v1 to v2 only last year at my last gig. Company upgraded Debian and Debian maintainers opted to go v2 only in the kernel build. However, the version of JVM the company was using did not fully support v2. Without the cgroup support, each JVM in a container thought they had the resources of the whole system. It was a cluster (heh) fuck, as in that all of the affected services OOM'd thinking they had more heap potential and the k8s cluster was churning pods like no tomorrow.

I mean, if open military conflict starts between major powers historians will absolutely point to current events as the sizzling fuse.

Are you unfamiliar with Little Joel? Big Joel has actual deep analysis if you like, but Little Joel is just a silly side channel of his.

Looking at patent abstract [0] it basically patents separation of information and structure. That latter can be used to present information in various ways.

My take is that it is fucking obvious and I just simply do not believe that the concept did not have prior art. It just show what a crooked business this whole modern patent system is.

[0] - "A system and method for the separate manipulation of the architecture and content of a document, particularly for data representation and transformations. The system, for use by computer software developers, removes dependency on document encoding technology. A map of metacodes found in the document is produced and provided and stored separately from the document. The map indicates the location and addresses of metacodes in the document. The system allows of multiple views of the same content, the ability to work solely on structure and solely on content, storage efficiency of multiple versions and efficiency of operation."
In other countries we manage without this.

That is an impressive example.
Yea but you can massage data in a way that it makes something look better than it otherwise would. For example, if you asked people right after a treatment if their tinnitus was a lot better, moderately better, a little better, or no change, then you have framed things in a way that many people might say "a little better" even if it's no change. Or you can disqualify all people for whom there was no change or for whom it became worse as "not suitable for treatment." There are lots of games that can and do get played with these sorts of numbers.
I dream of setting up my home automation as if it was a starship. It doesn't have to look like one, but it should operate like one.

First, it'd be self-contained, so devices don't need to dial back up to a cloud server in order to change settings. Who's ever heard of a starship that dials back to Starfleet headquarters to open a door?

HVAC, water heater, and water softener would be "life support". The garage would be the shuttle bay. External cameras tracking people, cars, and planes that fly overhead would be the Sensor Array. Since houses don't move, you could say there's no engineering. But if I had a power generation system like a solar panel, we'll just make that engineering. I'd be able to "redirect power" when we have a heat wave. Each system would have an API that reports stats that you can culminate into a daily dashboard displayed on your bathroom mirror. Of course, the Alexas would be "computer", and a lounge dedicated to AR/VR would be the "Holodeck".

I imagine that's what most people have in their heads, but we get lost in the weeds. In reality, I haven't done much home automation myself. Just a few lights, ecobee thermostat, and alexa that I don't use.

Having to pull out my phone just to control these things is often too much friction. Asking Alexa to do it is rather nice, but I'm not thrilled about the prospect of a company listening in (rumored to anyway). If you set it to turn off by geolocation or by time, there are edge cases that you often run into where you don't want to turn them off.

I had set the lights to turn off when I left my apartment. My roommates were all sitting the living room, and I left to go grab some milk, and the lights all turned off on them when I left, and they were perplexed.

I even mystified myself. Sometimes, in the mornings, I would wake up and the lights would be blue, and I wouldn't know why. But in fact, I had just forgotten I'd set up an IFTTT automation to turn the lights blue if it was going to be rainy day. I had just completely forgotten this and never could make out the pattern and association.

One of the problems with home automation is that the settings are hidden and not readily observable. All the problems that we have in our programming lives with observability of our production systems, we want to bring to home.

Playstation Vue was a great service. Since then streaming "TV" has become less of a value.

Currently we get sling, which is $45 for the typical mainstream cable channels and 2 local channels (ABC and Fox). HuluTV is ok, since it includes Disney+, but about the same price as YouTubeTV. DirectTV Stream is a very complete offering, but barely cheaper than cable (and only because of the lack of equipment fees and taxes)
