I came here to mention Dave Beazley's courses and talks.

In particular, I recently prepped/ran a week-long, in-house training session of Dave's Python-Mastery[1] course at my day job. We had a group of 8 with a mix of junior and senior Software Engineers and while the juniors were generally able to follow along, it really benefited the senior SEs most. It covers the whole language in such depth and detail that you really feel like you've explored every nook and cranny by the time you're done.

There are lots of well-known ways to slow down rainfall to let it seep into the ground, things like terracing and berms. California does little of that, so when it does rain, it all just washes into the ocean and it's back to drought.

Apple was transitioning away from 68k by the time Linux was released. So 68k support wasn't really that useful to them.

In your original question I think you're forgetting the context of the Unix market of the time. It was the high Unix Wars and A/UX was a minority position of a minority player.

The buzzword of the decade was Object Oriented and anyone not elbows deep in an existing Unix was trying to build an OS around objects. It was entirely unclear if jumping on the Unix bandwagon at that time would have a future. Even with Apple's acquisition of NeXT it was their high level OpenStep that was of most interest rather than the BSD base layer.

Compared to the idea that a nuclear accident renders land permanently uninhabitable - which is what the public seems to think is the result of a nuclear incident - 11 years is indeed a pretty short time frame.
That's mostly because we keep going into situations with political goals, and military means (when all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail). If a small country declared war on us, we could easily bomb them back into the iron age. Though in 20 years, the young adults there would probably provoke us into another dumb situation like the above.

Most day-to-day coding is simple and boring. Your interview questions should be, too. I've interviewed 100's of candidates over the years. Many of them had trouble writing a couple of for loops. This was for a somewhat similar problem. I would stress "we don't need an optimal solution, we just need a working solution."
In addition to the other flaws pointed out in other comments, scraping LinkedIn data will also skew towards longer tenure for companies/industries in which LinkedIn is not a primary recruiting tool, so people don't keep their profiles up to date.

The US gets 6% of its power from Hydro. The Uruguayan experience makes it clear that it has enough Hydro energy capacity (not sure whether it has enough Hydro power capacity, but that's a lot easier to add than energy capacity). Build enough solar & wind so that you get enough power with either solar or wind if the other is not producing, and fill in the holes with hydro and the existing nuclear.

I wonder if some of this reflects wholesale/restaurant purchases vs. stuff meant for a single household.

I'd expect a business to have a PO or at least a company card/checkbook, want very specific things (vs. whatever you can get from Sysco), and to purchase early/late because their business hours overlap.
They're related because many OLEDs use a non-RGB pixel layout, so it's necessary to turn off sub-pixel anti-aliasing, and the net result seems worth that tradeoff now that screens are high-resolution enough that sub-pixel anti-aliasing makes less of a difference.
Teach for America (a non-profit) works with some colleges to offset some of the tuition. There are states in the US that will cover the difference of out of state tuition at an out of state veterinary medical school in exchange for years of work in state.

The pharmacist probably doesn't have a medical history. You could have a copy sent to them from your doc.

At that point we're approaching the same level of hassle as just getting a prescription, though.

My proposal would be to create a new type of rx: a "standing rx". Some form of probably-digital rx that your doctor gives you that allows you to buy unlimited quantities of the named drug until the doctor revokes it, and it's easily transfer-able between pharmacies. Digital mostly to provide a means of revoking it that doesn't involve calling the doctor every time you try to buy it, though I'm open to counter-arguments about being vulnerable to hacking.

Then you only have to go through the hassle once, and it's honestly probably easier to have your doctor check the interactions than it is to do yourself. They have nifty tools to do that kind of stuff.

I do still wonder whether it should just be OTC, though. On one hand, the interactions are easy to understand. On the other hand, I routinely see people not read or intentionally ignore the instructions on stuff like tylenol (oh it says 2? I'll take 4, because my headache is bad). The common "do we give adults agency or try to protect them from themselves?" issue.
The upshot: M3 Pro is slightly better than M2 and significantly better than M1 Pro is what I've experienced with running local LLMs on my Macs; currently M3 memory bandwidth options are lower than for M2, and that may be hampering the total performance.

Performance per watt and rendering performance are both better in the M3, but I ultimately decided to wait for an M3 Ultra with more memory bandwidth before upgrading my daily driver M1 Max.
I’m not sure this would work well for our use case.

The distributed build systems only really benefit from aggressively caching the modules that are built, right? But the majority of the builds we do are almost fully cached, having changed just one module that needs recompiling then the linker sticks everything back together, which the machines would then need to download from the distributed builder and at 300MB a binary that’s gonna take a while.

I may have this totally wrong though. Would distributed builds actually get us a new binary faster to the local machine?

I suspect we wouldn’t want this anyway (lots of our company work on the go, train WiFi wouldn’t cut it for this!) but interested nonetheless.

> You used your alternative education path as a reason to claim you have no obligations to society

No, I'm saying that State education is not a reason for obligation and FURTHERMORE I have no State education so assuming that one has State education and basing one's whole premise on something be owed to society because of it is ludicrous. And I apply that sentiment to any form of education. It matters not where the education comes from - the only thing owed is money for the educational materials and labor involved in teaching.

> You can't justify an argument by claiming its truth or falsity. Assume I disagree with you, but would like to understand why I should agree with you.

Sure.

> Doesn't this create a huge issue if everyone decides to believe this?

Not my problem.

> If the world collectively stops caring about the importance of educating the next generation on the basis that they themselves got theirs?

not my problem.

> Where does the lack of obligation end? i.e. are you obligated not to steal, not to respect laws, etc?

Correct, I am not obligated to, but if I choose to violate those things there will likely be consequences.

> Obligation is a word humans made up to describe something that most cooperative animals do without the capacity to explain to themselves what it is they are doing.

Ok.

> Cooperative species that haven't developed language exhibit behaviors that are automatic and expected in what must be the set of traits natural selection arrived at. Humans are unique in that we've invented words to describe these social interactions. There are plenty of reasons to believe/understand that cooperation and certain principles of fairness, mutual respect, reciprocity, etc. are more adaptive for the survival of the group/species and coexistence with other groups.

Ok.

> It sounds like we disagree fundamentally one one key point: participation in society imparts implicit expectations on the participant. My core issue with your stance is that it is untenable if chosen by everyone, i.e. it doesn't scale.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I got nothing for you. You want to feel morally justified, go for it lol. As a free human, I'm not under any obligations.
Yeah, the freshness and the shorter supply chain are the important elements for me. For things to show up in my supermarket, they have a very long path through distribution, warehousing, and retail. Farmers' market products often go direct from farm, to truck, to market. This allows them to carry products that don't keep as well, are already ripe, or that are subject to damage in the traditional model.

> We find noncash payment types, earlier sale hours

Man are researchers really this naive? These are small businesses, large cash transactions aren't gonna be recorded on Square. duh

Knowing a thing or two about the business side of farmers markets(having seen it from the farmer's side), I would expect that the correlation with earlier sale hours is related to those merchants having agreements with local restaurants/grocers or even other vendors at the farmers market to buy bulk quantities. You sell a good portion of your crops directly to a bulk reseller/food maker who pays you in credit. You record that in Square because it's your only CC transaction vendor.
>Almost every place I’ve worked (early at startups later at megacorps) there were never enough recruiting resources. So eventually I just got my own recruiter account on LinkedIn and started using my knowledge of the industry and state of hiring to make my own search queries and reached out directly.

I've never worked for a tech company. But I have worked for two bulge-bracket investment banks.

In the first case I'm pretty sure the person looking to fill the role personally contacted my college's recruiting service (because she had received her MBA from there). In the second case I saw a Craigslist listing either by the person himself or his assistant, talked to someone I knew at the firm who worked near him, then reached out to the person directly. In both cases the person hiring did my first (and, in the second case, the only) interview, and I never talked to a true HR person, let alone recruiter, before receiving the offer. Does this sort of hiring never happen in tech?
Over and over again you play this game of “hide the ball” where you respond as if you’re advocating for the subsumption of Apple’s iMessage product, then flip over to responding as if you merely are here to advocate for an open messaging protocol. My responses have always addressed the former, and ignore the latter, as the latter is an uninteresting and wholly obvious concept.

Should people be able to agree on a shared and open protocol for communication? Yes. Should the US government nationalize iMessage? No.

> careful regulation

Has never worked very well. Government bureaucracies are very bad at pricing and allocating things appropriately. A case study is in the 70's the government decided gas allocations for every gas station. The result was a patchwork of gluts and shortages across the country.

Reagan ended all that as his first Executive Order, and overnight the gluts and shortages vanished along with the gas lines.
Modern languages using that syntax tend to prevent that mistake by either outright disallowing assignments in boolean contexts, or by not having implicit conversion of other types to boolean, meaning that the mistake would be limited to the case of comparing a boolean variable to another value, which is quite rare. Some languages further limit the risk by making variables unmodifiable by default, meaning that it would have to be an explicitly modifiable boolean variable.

Assignment is one of the most frequent operations in typical programming languages, so it makes sense for it to be a single-character symbol, and ‘=’ is about the only fitting ASCII symbol for that. (With non-ASCII, there would be ‘≔’ or ‘←’ (the latter being used by APL), but those are non-obvious to type.)
> (the philosophy) is simple and reasonable

> (the movement) takes that simple and reasonable idea and extrapolates it out to support some truly crazy and/or questionable efforts

You've perfectly described the fundamental problem with many recently popular philosophical propositions. The starting premise sounds reasonable because it is reasonable. Yet that basic premise is then extended to include much more controversial things. These initially reasonable things range from "It would be good to incorporate some safety measures as we implement AI" to "Racism is bad." Obviously, reasonable propositions it's hard to disagree with. Yet somehow we end up with influential social movements LARPing Terminator II scenarios and serious people arguing the police should be defunded.

I'm starting to suspect this repeating dark pattern isn't happening by accident. If your movement has some pretty extreme ideas most people wouldn't agree with, it's more effective to start with ideas almost no one will disagree with. Then, after a lot of reasonable people have bought-in to that, slowly increment toward justifying increasingly extreme measures to achieve "justice". It's essentially bait-and-switch. The unfortunate side effect is now I've learned to be leery of agreeing with even seemingly agreeable things because it's unclear what other things might later be included.

This puts me in the kind of bizarre conversations where someone says "I'm an anti-racist, are you?" and I have to craft a weirdly qualified response like, "Well, I'm certainly opposed to racism but I need to understand what 'anti-racism' includes in this context because some people include policies under that term which have net effects that seem to get uncomfortably close to racism."

Thanks for sharing this anecdote.

Your mother seems like a very curious and inquisitive person, who actually wants to learn about something before gravitating to strong opinions about it. That's respectable.

Seems like she also challenged you (in a positive way), by asking you to reformulate your explanations until they were approachable but not too ELI5. That takes a lot of patience and solid communication from both participants. Seems like a win-win situation in the end, enabling her to gain a solid understanding of the fundamentals, while allowing you to refresh your own understanding, and strengthen your technical communication skills.

Kudos to both of you, and thanks again for sharing.
Who is responsible for damages when the commercial software in question ships with its source code? What about a small business that sells a closed-source license for its copyleft software? In these cases, there is commercial activity, however, the licensee has full access to the source code. What about open core projects where the code isn't available until the time of purchase?

> Methodology & sources

To find out which companies employees don't want to leave in 2023, we analyzed the LinkedIn pages of the top 100 companies in the UK, U.S., Canada and Australia and compared them to see which businesses have the highest average tenure.

First, we collected the top 100 companies by market cap using CompaniesMarketCap.com for the UK, U.S., Canada and Australia. Then we analyzed each company's LinkedIn page and collected the median tenure when available, ranking each business based on its average tenure.

The data of this analysis is correct as of June 2023

This is pretty much aligned with our findings (am the author of this post).

I came away feeling that:

- M1 is a solid baseline

- M2 improves performance by about 60%
- M3 Pro is marginal on the M2, more like 10%

- M3 Max (for our use case) didn’t seem that much different on the M3 Pro, though we had less data on this than other models

I suspect Apple saw the M3 Pro as “maintain performance and improve efficiency” which is consistent with the reduction in P-cores from the M2.

The bit I’m interested about is that you say the M3 Pro is only a bit better than the M2 at LLM work, as I’d assumed there were improvements in the AI processing hardware between the M2 and M3. Not that we tested that, but I would’ve guessed it.
