"Both software developers and software engineers work on developing software. However, software developers often focus on one part of software development, while software engineers focus on the big picture. In simple terms, software development is a part of software engineering." (Source: The Forage)

In my opinion, what you're seeing is either:
1. People are unaware of this difference and just throw terms around for better prestige
2. More people are actually upskilling/getting certified to a "software engineer" to stand out from the competition in today's competitive and demanding job market.

For me it is partially that for sure. There's plenty of stuff I would - in theory - not mind to post publicly. E.g. my personal notes about interesting stuff I stumble on, want to read up on, how to troubleshoot stuff etc. But the issue is a) I don't feel like investing the time to individually post only subsets and b) posting all of it makes me feel way too vulnerable. At a quick glance suddenly everyone would just know all my interests, my expertise and lack thereof in areas and so on. Just not worth it in the current internet and societal discourse.

Awesome! Does it help removes all ads?
Makes perfect sense to me. I used to have a lot of computer books on my shelves. They're all gone. Internet access is just a given these days, so there's very little reason to have reference documentation in print.

And for more complex matters, a good youtube video is superior. Modern software can have extremely complex interfaces. It's much easier to follow along with a Blender video than to gain the same knowledge from a book.

Then they call the police for each 12.3th customer who got it wrong. The odds to get it wrong are so big the help of a different company is needed who will add up the shopping cart for you.

We don't need to clean up the scientific record, it's self-cleaning, at least to the people who rely on it.

When I working in R&D and a paper was published with an unexpected result, the automatic response was to look at the lab who published it. Reputation matters and some labs were rock solid, and others, shall we say, "played lose and fast with the data".

And even if it was published by a reputable lab, it was assumed it was probably an anamoly, or some measurement error, or some other problem until other reputable labs reproduced it.

So I guess the solution is for scientists to stand fast with their skepticism. My PI told his students "your job is to punch holes in other people's work". That was always encouraged. Question everything - and if the scientist hasn't shown they already checked that - assume the results are bullshit.

Only after rigorous examination and repeated validation should we believe any science. Not because scientists are making things up or lying (though some are), but because even the most honest scientist sometimes misses something or makes mistakes.

After reading the story it makes me think of a quote from a Bujold book, where one fantasy character talks about how it was a godly miracle that 300 heathen invaders were completely eradicated after their grave sin of murdering one local saint, and another character retorts.

High-end cores you can license?

Besides that ARM still seems to be superior to RISC-V in pretty much every way besides the fact that you have to deal with ARM itself.

Which might also be a positive thing in some cases i.e. designing your own cores from scratch should be much more expensive than licensing from ARM.

It is worth stating (because the word bylaw is not always understood) that a bylaw (by- is the Scandinavian word for "city", "town" or "village" depending on which modern Scandinavian language you use as your source) is basically a local law. It is not universal. It exists in a single place, and although they can be similar in many locations, they are strictly only applicable in the specific municipality that has them on the "books". They are usually boring things like "dogs must not foul in the streets" and "cyclists may not ride on the pavement (sidewalk in US usage)"... but some are really weird.

I guess the US does use bylaw, but it seems to always be rules and regulations that companies make. This is very much an actual law that will see you fined and potentially in court if you break them.

I get what you mean, but there is no model that is used as a basis for trickle down policy, so it cannot be shown to be wrong.

There are lots of studies and papers and economic tomes that argue for trickle down, but no model that a politician points to.
I mean, we, a random assortment of software engineers on HN, almost certainly lack the data and expertise to forecast the risk of a pandemic.

My own self-critique above was more that, even if you could accurately deduce that there is a 1.54e-12 chance per person-year of a person encountering a novel disease that can spread as a global pandemic, you can't then schedule the next one for 450 billion people-years later, when the probability exceeds 50%, because it's a random occurrence and there's nothing stopping it from happening after ten or a trillion throws of the dice.

But I'll still stand by the logic of my original back of the envelope number; insomuch as the risk is proportional to the population, we should expect the next global pandemic twice as fast as the last one, and I think there's a good chance many of us will be alive to see it (as opposed to the gap between the Spanish Flu and COVID-19, where the survivors of the first were infants for the last and centenarians for this one).

This is a double-edged sword though. Let's say I have a PHP file that "include"s another one and a request arrives in the middle of such a deployment where the first PHP file has been replaced but the second has yet to be - you now have undefined behavior.

Filesystem-based URL routing is one of the "features" I hate the most in PHP as it leads to countless security issues - simply uploading a file in the wrong place (or sometimes merely with a wrong extension) immediately turns into an RCE.
What do these people want?

I support Palestinian freedom. I want them to have their own state. I want them to be prosperous and happy.

But given a free and fair election they didn't choose that. They chose Hamas who then turned into a violent dictatorship killing a lot of Palestinians along the way. Now Hamas rips up infrastructure that the West donates like water pumps in order to build missiles.

So what do they want? All of us to die at the hands of Hamas and Hezbollah? Their literal goal is to drive us into the sea.

We need practical real solutions. I'm asking an honest question not a rhetorical one: what do they want? If we give Palestinians total freedom tomorrow they will turn around and try to murder us. As they just did to 1300 innocent people. The worst day since the Holocaust.

All of this reminds me of the performative actions around Ukraine. End the war to save lives by having Ukraine agree to be incorporated up Russia. Not that any of the people advocating this in the West like Chomsky would volunteer to live in a Russian dictatorship. Same here. How many of these people are willing to go live next to Hamas and Hezbollah and put their own families at real risk of death?
I'm sure they think the US is a settler-colonialist entity. I mean how could it not be considered one? We still have the little bit of the native population that is left on reservations.

I think you're making the mistake that "settler-colonialist" is some kind of demonic brand that condemns everything that it might be applied to to perdition or at least cancellation, but its really just a plain description of how history has brought us to this moment in time. There are egregious cases and less egregious ones.

Chains have the money to invest in a large store. 90% of the books in any store are not of interest to any particular reader. However each reader wants a different set. Tiny bookstores often only have 5 books that might interest someone, and when you finish those you have nothing to buy there until they change inventory. A large store will have enough inventory that you can come back for more.

That thread was in 0.6 days on my long-dead broadwell using DSFMT as a C library with afaiu hand-written intrinsic code for bulk generation of floats. We switched RNG to xoshiro in the meantime which is faster and generates 64 bit numbers natively (as opposed to dsfmt which generated 53 bit natively...). So don't trust that these old timings represent current julia; I updated the thread with current timings.

I'd be very happy if this can of worms could be reopened, but am currently not active enough in julia dev to champion it.

Also somebody would need figure out something very clever for AVX2 / NEON. (AVX512 has the required instructions)

Also I can't imagine the mess with GPU -- if rand statistics differ widely between CPU and GPU that's a no-go, and I don't know what works well on which GPUs.
Often the naive method is all right as you aren’t really concerned by the fact that numbers close to zero don’t have the maximum precision possible – particularly when your use case has a certain "native scale" and what amounts to a fixed point approach works fine. And especially if the results are going to be discretized at some point anyway (eg. computer graphics).

Syncthing might also work in a rather hacky way, but would probably also run into real-time collisions.

One of the problems with much of the modernizing drive of going all-digital is that there is no failsafe. No workable fallback. Usually skipped for "efficiency" (meaning some Excel spreadsheet was used to manipulate the numbers and a pivot table added to a slide deck in a presentation to the board resulted in earning that quarterly bonus for someone).

We're seeing more and more problems arise because of the lack of a failover plan. All it would take is a small printer to generate a new car from the digital system whenever a new item is added to a library's collection, and for someone to file the card just like they do the book (or do they still have physical books in libraries? ).
