It's Festo showing off. Festo does precision motion control with pneumatics. Most pneumatic systems just push a piston until it hits a stop. Festo does these demos to demonstrate that their pneumatics can do much more than that. After a customer sees those demos, they're convinced that pneumatic motion control is possible. Here's their booth at Hannover Fair in 2023, where their machinery is working on the show floor. [1]

It's the opposite of "fake it til you make it".

Oh I didn't realise I could just do that myself.

Well, thank you so much for all of your help
It seems obvious to me (*) why a panopticon prison (at least, the type with no doors on the cells) doesn’t work - there’s no easy way to exert control. As soon as prisoners start misbehaving, you need more guards, far more so than a ‘normal’ prison would require. Without a lot of stairs and ladders, the guards can’t move to problem areas easily, and stairs/ladders are problem points even in conventional prisons. Furthermore, the game theory-like idea that the prisoners will work within the system is ruined by the fact that the guard can’t possibly catalogue multiple incidents occurring simultaneously. It seems very naive. Anyone that has tried to keep a classroom of young school children quiet/on task would know this I think.

(Whenever something is ‘obvious’ to me, I take it as a sign that I’m not understanding it fully).
In that case, you can report the Git SHA and still be reproducible.
A technicality perhaps? Like if say they buy $40k cars, depreciate it to $30k but earn $20k from rentals. Technically they got most of their money from selling the car used but it still ultimately works only because they are able to rent it out for more than the depreciation cost.
And thars the downside of being a nerd or even a jock. As a male you don't really meet (heterosexual) romantic partners doing stuff guys traditionally like. I've been to a bunch of tech/gaming meetups and can count the number of women there on my hands. And none were single either. Probably because they dated and found someone on an online app.

Of course I still do it for general friends purposes (when you live alone and wfh as a man, you NEED to make an effort to get out just to get out of your own head), but Idk how effective advice this is for someone who wants to meet someone in a timely matter. Not everyone wants to play the long game.
Security. Nature owes nothing to anything. Even the warmest bosom in the cosmos (Earth) is hostile, temperamental, and temporary. If the death of one individual is a tragedy then I don't know the right word to describe the termination of life.
Well, the Empire State Building was famously built as a series of sprints...

You need a formal design. This doesn't mean you need a formal project. Some amount of planning ahead very obviously helps, but how much is debatable, and when you have people whose sole specialization is "planning ahead", you are certainly past the point where it's too much.

Anyway, the most valuable people are the ones "planning behind", looking for what was left broken and could be done better from now on. Project management defines those people out of existence.
Interesting that you mention Pico. I really like it (my personal site uses it) but it doesn’t strike me as the go to choice for a web app?
> They must have gathered some kinds of stats on Tesla repair rates per mile driven

I mean - would they?

Tesla is famously secretive about defects, not putting anything in writing to customers and asking them to sign NDAs - so I doubt Tesla is handing out honest numbers to potential partners.

And even if they ran a small-scale trial before making a big purchase, there's a lot of ways a small trial can accidentally be unrepresentative.
It changes between companies. At my company the Product Owner is the one who maintains the relationship with customers. Product Managers are there for prioritizing the feature requests. We also have Project Managers for inter-project dependency tracking and Engineering Managers for resource allocation and work output.

For me, Computer Modern Font (CMF) looks like it's an example for how to write Metafont.

The serifs are incredibly pronounced, making every document typeset with it look like a Roman tombstone.
But that's a common theme with (La)TeX: It tries to look like a book from a long-gone by century. It reproduces a very conservative aesthetic.

(La)TeX stayed frozen in time, trying to perfect typesetting for a fixed output medium at a certain pixel density whilst the majority of users view the same text on very different displays, with different size, pixel density, aspect ratio, orientation, ...
Or the false sense of security.
Leaving aside issues caused by social media etc, this always seems like an odd take to me. Why do you expect technology to make people happier? I mean, cars have gotten drastically better since their inception, but I don't really expect my car to make me happy, much like I don't expect the insulation of my house to make me happy, or the x-ray machine my doc uses to make my life a happy one. I think technological development is a completely separate axis to happiness, you can be technologically stagnant and happy or advancing and happy, you can be standing still and sad and moving forwards and sad.
Yeah I’ve thought about going back to serving the React app from the server hosting the API.
I do believe that the traditional PM role/background should be considered obsolete, especially in software companies. Well-rounded engineers should be in these roles these days.
It does, but it's still not something engineers do well.

Imagine developing an AAA game with no one in charge of the overall product. Or creating a movie without a producer or a director, expecting the talent to somehow organise itself.

PM isn't an engineering job, it's a vision job - one that needs enough technical knowledge to create a vision that's grounded in reality, while also appealing to customers, while also being able to sell it up and down the org.

That skillset is incredibly rare.
> justifying the salary of middle managers.

That's just ridiculous if you think this applies to all projects. We have incredible amount legal, tax, sanction etc in the code. Have you seen how complex real world financial and legal system can be, do you know how much work to translate those into code? And keeps updating it?

And to just to interface with other financial system worldwide, we have to keep the old system in place, at same time upgrade as the industry move forward. It's a also a big challenge. Despite the above and we had to ship fast, we are actually still SHORT on people. Our engineer to manager ratio is also high. The world is a complex place, sometimes you just have to deal with it.

Again, why do you think 50 man team applies to all projects? What is it so hard to believe that some complexity cannot be reduced?

> We also know Facebook's 70k employees are there so that many of them won't end up working somewhere else and help the competition

You get this from the TV show. Have you actually worked in the companies at Meta caliber? Do you really think most faang employees just do nothing everyday?
> make the effort to write an intelligent, personalized message to them based on reading their profile, and then... nothing

Way back in the day I tried this, and got both ends of the spectrum. Still lots of ghosts, but then also curiously, multiple girls who said that my message was "unfair" or "selfish". When I enquired why, it was because it "created an obligation - you wrote this more detailed message and now I can't just reply with 'no thanks' or 'cool, tell me more', I have to sit down and think and write a reply". Great as a filter maybe, less great for the ego.

So then I wrote a template message. A couple of common paragraphs, and then a couple of inserts where I could put "choose 1 of 3 options to put in here". More soul depressing, but ended up more successful (relatively speaking).
Good luck enforcing it behind seven proxies. Or even just behind a border or two.

If you want security/confidentiality, Chat Roulette is not the place for you. It's about the opposite. It's just the way it is.
Sure, I am very familiar with them -- I actually TAed 18.06 for Strang once upon a time. They're great books too. Which is better is mostly a question of what point of view you're after -- if you want to actually calculate anything, Axler's book is not going to help you, but if you want a more conceptual view of the subject it's best place. If you're really serious about learning linear algebra, you probably want to read both, first Strang, then Axler.
People still do some maintenance on the 8k year old Afghanistan water system (underground aqueducts) because they are still used today. I’m failing to find some good sources, but when I was there in 2008, it was something the Army Core of Engineers was investigating on my base.
Consider that normally rental car companies get steep discounts on their bulk buys. They didn’t with their Tesla order which further hurts them. But, here is the overly simplified normal math:

(Resale Price + Rental Income - Maintenance - Purchase Price) / 2 years

Trick is that they generally flip these vehicles after 2 years and upsell an auto warranty which a big profit center as well. Resale price tanks and there goes all their profit.
Yeah, my math class followed Axler, which was great - but I didn't really get a feel for how useful linear algebra was until I read through Strang on my own. The applications are endless!
Was there money in pre-1778 Hawaii? Not that I have been able to figure out. I believe it was a gift economy.

There certainly was specialization in Hawaii, and with a population of over 100,000 would seem like a good counter-example.

> Barter economy cannot sustain any of that, because barter economy does not scale.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_money , "There is no evidence, historical or contemporary, of a society in which barter is the main mode of exchange;[23] instead, non-monetary societies operated largely along the principles of gift economy and debt."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-monetary_economy#Other_mon... list other money-less systems including "the Incas and possibly, also the empire of Majapahit". Both were empires.
Visited some European cities recently and was impressed by how alive their retail markets felt. In stark contrast to United States cities which are more and more feeling hollow and empty, these cities were bustling with people and shops of all sizes had patrons.
yeah +1, I used to wear the product manager hat in an engineering role, while working with bad product managers, and so I thought the role was a grift at best. Also dealing with a herd of b2b clients sucked while trying to focus on doing the things we argued about / committed to doing. Then a good PM got hired, he actually understands what's going on / makes the effort to learn, and the life of "Engineering" roles got so much better. It may be significant in this case that product works with engineering in a kind of liason role and doesn't "dictate" much.

Now program managers, it remains to be seen where their value comes from and I hope it does
About avoiding determinants to the degree that this book does: while I agree it makes sense to delay introducing them, the goal should not be avoidance but clarity. The way author has to bend himself backwards here when dealing with eigenvalues isn't great either.

I would recommend Strang for a healthy balance in handling determinants.
Good engineers work to deeply understand the problem given to them. They understand the different possible solutions, and implement the best one they can, given their constraints.

Good product managers identify the problems to be solved, and prioritize which ones should be solved first.

Why not both? A big part of dating is increasing your opportunities to meet someone.

Plus, asking out strangers is lots of fun. The uncertainty that comes from stepping outside scripted social interactions creates tension. And tension what sexual attraction is made of, if you can remain calm and have fun with it.

And while it doesn't have the highest chance of success, when it lands it creates this feeling of stars crossing. Two strangers make eye contact and are immediately drawn to each other? Who doesn't want that 'how'd you two meet' story?

Depends on your programming language and platform.

If you're using the C API on a Linux kernel, use IPPROTO_MPTCP instead of IPPROTO_TCP. With Go, call SetMultipathTCP(true) on listeners and other connections. On iOS, set MultipathServiceType to NSUrlSessionMultipathServiceType.Handover for your NSUrlSessionConfigurations.

Depending on your platform, you may need to do a quick "is MPTCP supported" check with fallbacks, i.e. when you need to support older Android, Windows, or BSDs, or an old (<5.6) Linux kernel.
With all these modern frameworks and stacks, most of the practical AI UI tools were made with gradio. Interesting contrast.

>if you think that #metoo stops you. If it did, you were misbehaving to start with.

If you read up on the Richard Stallman #metoo cancelation attempt I'd really like to know how you thought he was misbehaving because from my perspective it was simply used to jeer at and bully somebody vulnerable.

I think it's pretty rational to think that could happen to somebody else.
Yes and no. While being understanding of differing financial brackets, if your approach to finding a long term intimate partner is "it needs to cost less than a Starbucks coffee a month", you can't sincerely have high expectations.
That solves an immediate need though, not a once in a few ten thousand year disaster.
It's well debatable whether it's an improvement per se but merely a choice of competing on an arbitrary metric. It's fine if that's what you want but it's also very much fine to question that.

There's nothing inherent in being faster than others (or your earlier self) that would dictate speed being the obvious primary metric. Sure, it's an easy choice to measure and thus popular but on the other hand if you do want to care about speed it's mostly a losing proposition: there are always people faster than you (so you'll keep losing to them over and over or you'll learn not to care) and you can only ever get up to a certain speed that's physiologically possible with your body.

Speed can be a useful indicator of your fitness, though, much like fuel consumption is a useful indicator for whether your car is mechanically fit. But focusing heavily or primarily on speed is a choice which begs the question "why".
The women selected by modern Hollywood as sex icons are, for the most part, nothing special. There are at least three women working at my local grocery store that make Scarlett Johansson look like a hag. They're more beautiful than anybody I've seen in a movie in many years, and I've seen hundreds if not thousands of women like them out in public.

I know these sort of tastes are subjective, but I've talked to a lot of guys who feel the same way. The women in media are mid, most women who are young and physically fit can match if not greatly exceed the looks of women in media. However I acknowledge that women themselves often do not feel this way; they compare themselves to the female celebrities and feel bad about themselves even though most men would rate them higher than the celebrities. They rate themselves lower than men would rate them because media is toxic and purposely makes women feel insecure to sell more beauty products, lifestyles, etc.
Is it that hard to:

document.querySelectorAll("#some-form input").forEach(e => e.classList.add("error"));
The problem I see is that we have seen progress for women in this space, but not for men.

Women are objectified. The attention a woman receives is related to what she is, not what she does. It's very straightforward to apply this to dating: just look good and confident.

Men are subjectified. The attention a man gets receives is related to what he does, not what he is. It's very tricky to navigate this in dating. How does someone present their interests in a way that is attractive?

This is further complicated by the most common narratives we hear about men's behavior. Masculine behavior is a looming threat. Every man must prove himself not a predator. But how?
Are there enough of them?
Doesn’t preclude the ability, no, but there are only so many hours in the day.

Writing good code is a very separate skill set from that kind of problem-space work, and software engineers are mostly hired for the former.

> It seems like at some point in growth all companies attract a critical number who don't really care.

Yes. Once a company is a clear contender in a space the ghouls start to show up. They’re there for the easy win. With growth comes the need for more hands and the People who Give a Shit always end up covering for those that don’t.

Twitter aside, there is a general post COVID feeling of "coldness" out there in my anecdotal experience. It's kinda always been that way given me being in a big city (or at least, within driving distance of one), but even small talk seems to have diminished these days. Forget women, people in general just seem less interested to wave hello unless you're at a very specific function.

I love dating apps. I've met tons of people, including multiple relationships and long-term friendships. They've helped me meet people when moving to new places. They've helped me get laid. They are also tedious and emotionally draining and full of increasingly-expensive upsells for basic functionality. But they're still an incredibly useful tool for meeting people.

Honestly I’m surprised the number isn’t already much higher. For at least the last 15 years most healthcare providers I deal with try to get you into a nurse practitioner or physicians assistant, and most have quite a few more of those than MDs and DOs.

I don't agree. The difference is that people do have a right to not be discriminated against because of their race etc. But no right to force another person to be in a romantic relationship with them.
Exact numbers vary… but I think it safe to say no matter what, it’s beyond our capabilities to understand. Either way, eventually the “sun goes boom” and we need to be long gone, or dead, as a species.
I get the feeling you don't work on massively complex projects.

We have loads of project managers where I work and I thank my stars we have every one of them. The coordination and planning required is ferocious for the work we need to deliver. It is not trivial and it would quickly fall apart without them.
