I mean, I could talk about this subject for awhile, but I would give EMs another task: do accounting and not just wrangling of the nerd herd.

I consider myself a veteran of the nerd herd and take pride in such a label, even the wrangling, as it is generally an attempt to guide productive, creative and engaged engineers.

I’ve also noticed a parallel between what’s called domain-driven design and ABC, namely, they are primarily concerned with a full understanding of the processes, events and activities. Agile has some tangential relationships as well and could possibly be used for the daily/weekly practice of ABC, but the problem with story points is that they also fail to capture the full costs!

I’m just rambling and spitballing at this point as I’m currently at the stage where I’m noticing something and just tracking down clues!

Hence, let’s have a call about this and brainstorm! I’m serious, I would enjoy it immensely!
C, Nim and Zig all benefit from static allocation and it's available in rust, so seems fair?

also, `const N` is used in rust's nqueen test, so figured it would be fine.

someone posted an `.iter().zip()` solution which benchmarks only a little slower (+10ms) than static allocation:

99.999% of all SWE don’t know that algorithms and data structures evolve. How can you they choose the right library? That was my point.
I think the 50% part should be ignored and the message is "when dealing with an individual sample, the general probability distribution isn't that useful?" I don't actually agree with that, just trying to steel man the point a bit. I do kind of see what he means

You're right, this was rather tone-deaf. It wasn't in my original draft and was added by an Asimov editor in an attempt to make the piece more interesting. Although I did review the final article proof, so it's my responsibility too. I've made a request for Asimov to edit it.

>What is interesting in the UK is that it seems largely to be people voting against their own interests a lot of the time.

Without meaning this as a comment towards your post in particular, I've found that people who say "they're voting against their own interests" tend to project their own solidly middle-class interests (access to abundant, cheap labour, better deals on fees to go to university, etc - completely valid self-interests to have!) onto working-class people who may be unaffected or even harmed by those interests (competing with that same labour pool for work, being outbid for housing from the rest of the population, being unable to afford to have a child).

What this also misses is that people have self-interests besides straightforward economic metrics. Is it not a valid self interest for someone to want their home town to maintain a sense of local identity? For a community to not change beyond recognisability in a single lifetime? For a person to not feel like a foreigner in the only place they've ever been able to call home?

These concerns aren't as strongly felt by the more well-to-do people, since they have the means to live a more cosmopolitan, travelled lifestyle, and give their lives "higher" aspirations and meaning, like academia, or activism. But for poorer people, their home, and local identity and sense of community, is all they have. Like you said, there's little sense of collectivism in the UK, and is it any wonder why when whole communities have been either displaced by market forces, or replaced demographically, in less than a single generation?
How come -40 degree weather, hardly any sunlight, introvert culture, mandatory conscription, and looming threat of Russia doing something funni aren't a dealbreakers? I'm not sure I'd ever consider moving there myself.

Exactly! As an employee, I don't give a shit about the paperwork needed by my company. What's best for me is to have my code open sourced. If my company is forced to depend on GPL code (because it can't write it from scratch itself), then that's good for me as an employee because it means that my code will have to be published according to the GPL!

Employees should push for copyleft. Whoever owns the code obviously wants the choice to keep it proprietary, but the vast majority of devs do not own their code.
I think parent meant that China has explicit capital controls that you have to navigate to transfer money between countries. In the USA, this is just a wire and you don’t need a ton of documentation and approval to do it. The USA uses that ease of access as a carrot and a stick, the Chinese can’t use that as a carrot and a stick because they simply don’t have it.

When scrum becomes all about the process and shipping things is secondary then scrum sucks. The sad part is you can add/remove most parts of scrum that you do not care about. Yet everyone seems to add everything in then never does the checkback to see if it actually did any good or just wasted everyone's time. The worst ones are the big corps that foist the whole process on groups with the hundreds of hours of 'training' and 150 page slide decks to go with it with no real reasoning as to why they are doing it.
LRU is expensive in a way that it doesn't scale (thread/core wise). What I do is probabilistic eviction, e.g. take randomly 17 items - evict the lowest three (need some algorithm for scoring). What I tend to use for scoring is 'access count', 'last access time', 'creation time', and perhaps creation costs (e.g. latency), plus a scoring formula.

In that regard - such eviction can be implemented "entirely" concurrently.
To be fair, the new year's countdown is a simulacrum (Baudrillard) of a moment to begin with. It's the perfect example of a meme without real substance. So people want to save this (hyperreal) moment, share it, fill it with meaning. That's not entirely sad.

Consider the reverse. People just standing there staring at a countdown? It would not be hard to travesty that either.
What's your take on the capitalist version of this, FIRE?
What effect size is big enough for you to worry about? A quick google search shows that smoking reduces life expectancy by 5-13 years depending on the study. Let's say that for smoking, the 'true' reduction of life expectancy from smoking is somewhere in the middle, 9 years. Then, the study I found with the 5-year estimate, is wrong by 4 years.

So, for some lifestyle change to reliably be reproduced by observational studies, it would have to be a 'true effect' of 4 years. I would say that 3 years, or even 1 year, is something to worry about.
Why wouldn't you?

Even generous estimates put the number at 13,000 and we have laws and social systems to break this behaviour.

There's more victims of fraud in the UK, (21% of people have lost >£1,000 to fraud); which puts the number at 14,224,728 affected citizens.

Granted, human trafficking is a significantly worse problem, but it's not endemic.
While 'should' & 'is' are two different things, what should happen is ticketing the manufacturer in casrs of either mechanical failure like this or bad self-driving. Plus, Finland-style, ticket fines should be scaled to income, with the schedule of fines continuing to increase to corporate levels of income.

Edit: the scaled fines should get their attention, and using the traffic citation method instead of (in addition to) possibility of later lawsuits is to get their attention to fixes sooner. when the penalties are vague and years-to-decades in the future, they have little effect on current management (see Ford Pinto/Bobcat fuel tank fiasco that killed multiple people).

I had a similar realization when going to one of the final Space Shuttle launches in 2010. I brought some fairly good camera gear along, but I saw people who had invested staggering amounts in cameras/lenses (or at least spent a decent chunk on renting them) and thought, I'll just watch the thing and then look at theirs if I want to see anything again.
Now I continue hacking at my .emacs without guilt and just need to wait for the day I'll alter the course of history.

Alternatively, Eastern Europe countries might be an option. It's the same level of shit as the UK, but at least the cost of living appropriately reflects it.
I think Mark Ripptoe is the best guy on what and how to do it. His explanation of what to do and the details of how to do it in his book Starting Strength are astonishingly detailed. An engineering process document on how to build strength.

Even if things don’t “end well” for Taiwan, it’s unlikely that China will obtain Taiwan‘s manufacturing abilities. They will rather be destroyed, to ensure that China doesn’t get their hands on them, and then everyone will suffer the consequences.

Docker on Windows can run without VM if the guest in the container is a Windows with a matching kernel and the process isolation is enabled in docker parameters.

Similar situation for MacOS docker containers on a MacOS host (see recently discussed https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37655477)

But for running Linux containers on MacOS or Windows I think you are right

Wouldn’t we just be back to the 1950-1970s again? China bans all trade, except through Hong Kong. The rest of the world doesn’t notice much, China is really poor. Just look at North Korea, that is basically what juche is.
I think in the last "which country would you most want to be annexed by" joke survey, the top UK answer was Australia.
but did they create a video of their experience? or did they just created the ten thousandth almost identical video that they could find online later and probably of better quality, just so they could post in on their social media to prove to people they were there?

Honestly, I don't care what people do, but some should try putting down the camera and enjoying the moment for a change and see if it changes their way of viewing things.
Society is like that today. My way is the right way so shame on you for doing it differently.
lol, most fail to understand there is an intricate relationship with the corporate tax and credits system. It is a full time job figuring out the retention of company treasure, handling capital losses constructively, and legal posture preparation to minimize risk.

While founders-syndrome tricks people into thinking they can do anything... they can't do everything... and often end up doing nothing when bankrupt.

You can learn the hard/expensive/painful way, or do things the easy way the first time to retain more cash to invest back into the firm,

If you are an employee filing a T4, and or a shareholder filing your T5... there is still a minefield of mistakes that can trigger taxable events. Depends how much you can legally retain, but the tax systems are often similar to a crime of omission in that it ensures you will miss most opportunities. These rules are complex on purpose.

Best of luck, and don't drop the soap =)

As other have said this is already happening with Huawei and SMIC. And this is DUV, not EUV. China has already poured billions into it, and will continue to do so until it is somewhat cost neutral. 98% of smartphone outside of Apple and Samsung are Chinese brand. Their domestic market will be the first to use some of these chips, to use the term HN may have heard of it, To eat its own dog food.

It isn't just Foundry or ASML either, it is across every single component sub sector. From NAND, DRAM, LCD Panel to OLED etc.

And Apple is behind it, "lifting" ( as they would like to call it ) every single one of these manufacture. Something no one likes to mention or continue to be ignored.

I mean there's multiple ways to enjoy things. You enjoyed photography, then you realised you could also enjoy the trip / experience itself. Both are fine. And you can do both at the same time too.

Conventional commits are great, especially if you add in commit linting.

Being able to programmatically increment semantic versions and automatically generate relevant changelogs is awesome.

It’s also nice to implement Commitizen[0] for a little hand holding until folks get used to the linting.

I used to care a lot about doing things the way that felt right to me, but now I just want some common standard that is easy for everyone to follow, easy to automate, and easy to verify programmatically.

Things like conventional commits and semantic versioning aren’t perfect, but they are quite good and apply broadly to many use cases with common tooling and conventions.

Ya I might not take a video or pictures of everything but all sorts of things have "on this day" these days. The pictures I have taken occasionally pop up and I remember the entire event. My phone (iOS) even makes little videos now and then that show the entire trip for me.

I'm not sure which is more sad really. Folks not "experiencing the moment", folks calling those people sad, or me on the next meta level up judging the people judging the people haha

If you read past the title you'd see that the article is talking about countries getting rich, not individuals.
Taiwan is subject to the same equipment dependencies as China. They don’t make the machines, they import them from the Americans, Dutch, and Germans. If China took over Taiwan, they might be able to obtain Salem great semiconductor engineers (but they could just hire them already on work visas), maybe some plans for the next 2 or 3 years on chips they can’t fab without western equipment, but that’s it. Economically, they would gain just land and any people that survive the invasion.

Here’s how I imagine it.

You’re in the Louvre, you’re in front of the Mona Lisa. It’s an amazing painting and it’s right there. And the person next to you is playing their gameboy.

It’s not about shaming them. It’s feeling regret that they are wasting this opportunity and missing something amazing.

Or I’m at breakfast with the most beautiful woman in the world and instead I don’t know she’s there and scroll through hacker news. I wouldn’t expect a person next to me to shame me for it, but I would expect them to recognize me wasting this opportunity.

In my examples, there could be many reasons why people would miss the beautiful thing for the banal. But in photos like this, there are 1000s missing the actual experience to record something vastly inferior than the experience.

I don’t think it’s shame. I think it’s empathetic regret and an urge to avoid doing this. I think it’s a bad thing for me to do. I want to do it less.
I wondered about that. I just looked at the table of contents, and there is far, far too much stuff in this book. Either it is 2000 pages long (it's not), or it is incredibly superficial.
It has 550 million monthly users? How many of them are willing to pay a monthly fee to use it? I would guess 10% at best, but I will admit it's purely a guess.
Companies cannot always do without copyleft dependencies. Even Google cannot write a proprietary kernel just like that (see Fuchsia). For smaller companies, rewriting FFMPEG or Gstreamer is impossible.

The more copyleft code there is out there, the less choice there is for company executives to go for the proprietary solution. As a user and as an employee, you probably should care about that. As a BigCorp executive getting an indecent salary from the proprietary code that your employees wrote but that does not belong to them, of course you will not like copyleft. But most people are employees.
That actively reaffirms sexist beliefs and worldviews. Has no place in a public forum where it can and does get interpreted as such.

I love this comment!

I am so happy that it's me you're responding to.

My socio-economic status was "poor", "white-british" and from a very deprived area. My Mother continues in this social class though I (through accident of being interested in computers) have seemed to escape.

The reason I point out that "white-british" bit is because there's a lot of social programmes I was looked-over for simply because race was an important qualifier. As you might imagine that made me obscenely bitter about migration and non-native races; but that's something I haven gotten over as the years have gone by.

Cheap labour is not what I consider important at all, however if you vote for tax cuts because you think you'll be better off despite the tax cuts being mostly for the very wealthy: well that's less money for social services.

If you vote in favour of cutting benefits because you think that immigrants get too many benefits despite being on benefits yourself then that's directly against your own interest.

If you vote for a reduction in healthcare spending despite depending on it to live: you have voted against your own interest.

All of the above are some examples of what I mean, and I have tory-voting friends in these exact situations.

I imagine someone could set up a complicated autofeedback loop. Describe the task to the LLM, give a development system and a possibility to run many tests, then let it rip.

I still think perhaps not too soon. I think the problem that there are many things to optimize for. One of them is correctness, but if a program runs this does not mean it is correct. Another thing is security. How to test the system for security? Have another LLM playing an adversary and try to hack the system?

This said, I wonder if someone manages to pull this off what the implications might be.

One of them: Have this system re-run automatically everytime as long as the Linux kernel is maintained.

Then why should anybody invest the effort of continuing development of the Linux kernel?

Then how to advance the development? Just tell the LLM to add a feature?
Criticizing isn’t always shame. And I don’t think it’s shame here.

It’s ok to dislike something and to share my dislike with others.

It’s also ok to point out wrong things toward making things better.
Just my opinion: being in a group where everyone is on their phone feels alienating, and often causes me to whip out my own phone just to shield myself from the awkwardness. Of course there is nothing wrong with looking at your phone and recording something. But when everyone is doing it enmass like that, how can it not change the group dynamic in some way?

Just imagine the end of a movie like "It's a Wonderful life" or some other movie that ends with a group celebration. Now change the ending by imagining everyone whipping out their phones to record the event. You know what I mean?

I don't know. Maybe people who grow up with this are more comfortable with it. Maybe it is a generational thing.
Better to distract people with other things than face the important work.
