The reasoning behind switching to C++ today rather than Rust, Zig, or any other language is familiarity. C++, while it currently doesn't have memory safety, is extremely easy for any C programmer to ease into, especially given the limited subset that Anvin is proposing for kernel use. Meanwhile, Zig and Rust look absolutely awful.

As somebody who's been using C++ for eight years, I despise Rust and Zig (and Nim and...) syntax. Don't get me wrong, I like the concept of memory safety, but I think too many languages are going "We have to stand out!" and therefore are creating completely new syntaxes. That may work for you, but frankly, I'm happiest in a language that sticks close to C++ syntax (which is probably one reason I love D so much).

Also, C build errors have nothing to do with C++? What are you getting at there?

And yet I personally know several people who have dropped more than 10 pounds, and have kept it off (or even lost more) for more than 5 years. The statistical odds are meaningless on an individual basis. In most cases what it took was hitting some sort of low point and then making a major, permanent lifestyle change such as committing to a daily exercise program or quitting drinking (alcoholic drinks contain a lot of empty calories).

I had lived in Israel for a while and never seen "apartheid" many are talking about here in the U.S.

There actually were lots of Arab/Muslim people who were citizens and they were not oppressed in any way. I believe more than 20% of Israeli people are non-Jewish.

P.S. I wish more people who are anti-Israel go actually visit that country...
Not my place to share it! Though it can be found online by those who seek.
I can't help but feel that being in the black (or the degree to which they are) is a short term effect of the password sharing crackdown and the price increases. Both of those are likely to have a drop-off in impact over the long run, especially as the cost of living crisis develops.

It makes sense to me that the first thing to go is the other streaming services, as Netflix has such a strong mindshare, but their lack of content is more noticeable all the time, and I think there will be a swing back to cheaper services with at least different content, if not better.

“Meta” would normally mean that a metarepo relates to a repo like a repo relates to a file. That would imply an orthogonal versioning axis, similar to a bitemporal database.

I think that can simultaneously be possibly true (that the people who make serious money stuck around at one company), yet still usually be the wrong or bad move for most people to make.

I stuck around for six years at my previous job, and my boss was there for 13 years. I dealt with a lot of bullshit from the corporate higher ups for four of those years, frozen salaries, no promotions in the department, company 401k match removed, worse health benefits, not replacing coworkers after they left so I (and my boss too) kept having more responsibilities piled up, etc. And I was very reliable at my job (read: let myself be taken advantage of). I even got call outs in town halls for some things I helped accomplish, and when I left I'd be referred to as one of the few phone systems SME in the company.

I finally got sick of the stagnation and left for a different industry and a hefty raise in 2021. My boss stayed. And then two weeks ago I heard they shut down the department and let everyone still there go (we were a skeleton crew in engineering when I left, but we supported 90 other employees). If I had stayed there, I would have still been making barely more than I was making when I left, and would have been let go with the rest of the department.

While there are undoubtedly people like the ones you are describing out there, there are probably far more people that get into situations like mine, especially when the company starts to stagnate.
What do you think of the trucker protests and how they were handled? I find it hard to believe any Canadian can honestly claim that Canada has more free speech than the US.
Same way you can predict the weather even though predicting it doesn't cause it to happen. God's prediction abilities would have been honed over trillions of years versus our few decades of computerized meteorology. It doesn't follow that just because you know something is going to happen that you cause it to happen. I think some things are left up to people with certain major events in people's lives and indeed in society at large being determined ahead of time, and in those cases how people respond to what happens is where they exercise their free will. Other times they're allowed to choose something of their own choosing from options provided or allowed by God.
In the first wave of cuts, you're still getting free lunches, you're getting 1 month/year of severance or more, you're getting vesting beyond your departure date, you're getting 12 months of benefits.

In the third wave of cuts, you've had 3 managers in 6 months, everyone hates life, you're having all hands meetings biweekly, and when you get let go quietly, your severance is shit.
I do not know why this thread is dismissive of the course when that is precisely what the first few lectures of the course teach, and every subsequent assignment treats “profile and instrument the code” as the (sometimes inferred) step 0.

But it’s an 18 unit course, it’d be a disservice to the students (and the world at-large, considering the potential impact of performance engineering) if we stopped there.

I don't understand how companies are allowed to add an intensifying or strengthening adjectives to a noun and ends up with a weaken definition of the noun.

Reasonable speculation is reasonable. Supposing that belly buttons exists so we could store lint in them is not reasonable.

It may well be that we have opposable thumbs to handle tools better. I can't prove it, you can't disprove it, perhaps we need more evidence.

But making suggestions that have a rational basis and that may have some explanatory power is perfectly reasonable and if you think there is a better approach, please tell us. That is what I meant by requesting your alternative ideas.

It's quite rare to have the degree of control you're envisioning over a project. Most software teams are building products to sell to customers, and most customers aren't going to accept "IDK whenever we're done" as an expected delivery date. Companies can and should provide some degree of wiggle room, but it's not realistic to expect that you can avoid ever thinking about how long a task is going to take.
This is really interesting but I am not seeing how it gets to end price. It's saying around 54eur/mwh in the UK with the 2020 technology assumption.

I can see that cost for the solar/wind itself but seems very low for the masses of hydrogen (and associated round trip losses) that it's suggesting. I have read some estimates that it could at least double the price?
It does, in fact, relate to a repo like a repo relates to a file! Because every projection only contains related history and subtrees – much like if you were looking at a history of a file in a git repository

This is a tactic as old as the review/inspection process itself. The reviewer always needs to feel like they've done their part, and no product can be perfect on the first pass, right? So put the obvious thing there for them to find, or they will find the thing you are trying to squeak through the process.

I had one building inspector tell me that when he found the obvious thing that was obviously obvious, he would then look for the thing trying to be hidden.

The US is an outlier compared to other developed countries for this, but comparable to poor countries.

The same is true for its murder rate.

One factor consistent with that both numbers are inversely correlated with availability (in that prompt is important) and quality of medical treatment. The US also has an unusual medical system.

I have no idea how to verify it, but it is a plausible explanation IMO. At least as plausible as other explanations (or possibly in tandem with other factors).
> skip managers/directors who I’m almost certain are barely working and just milking out huge salaries while hiding behind their remote status

Sounds like you're describing Amazon, at least it's very clear this was the case when I worked there, and it contrasted with several happy healthy years engineering in a core group at Apple, which was exactly the opposite description, partly because of keeping hierarchies very shallow, so everyone was involved in real work, not posing as valuable.

A few years after quitting to work on cancer research at a startup which soon failed, i found Amazon's 13 or whatever levels to be a complete joke, and didn't need to put up with the corrupt bureaucracy, so left.
Where is your FAQ? I couldn't find it in the first few pages of your websites. No link in the footer either. The only button in your navbar is "about" which is not it.
This has been written about in various ways in the academic and surrounding literature for awhile now. I'm not sure the language it uses does itself any favors but it does point to some interesting recent discussion and research.

A lot of it is a stick as well as carrot problem; a lot of the incentive structures are basically pushing and rewarding management and administrative — as well as salesmanship — behavior rather than research per se. If you want to do research, you're going to find modern academics increasingly distasteful. If there are alternative career paths for you, it's just another thing pulling you in a different direction.

The article gets into this with the discussion of the converse — the entry of failed corporatists, which is an interesting twist — but I'm not sure the exit of certain content-focused individuals per se is really the original cause. It might create a vicious circle or feedback loop but I think there's origins and sustaining factors elsewhere.

It really is that hard to believe. Have you ever had a resting metabolic rate test? Have you ever gone several weeks carefully tracking everything you consume using an accurate food scale? I am skeptical that even during binge periods you were really taking in as many calories as you claim.

That said, there are limits to what the human digestive system can absorb from a single meal. Binge eaters do sometimes exceed that limit and just poop out the excess without storing it as fat.
Taking it beyond the sexism angle, exclamation points are like the pumped up macho guy in a mafia movie, yelling and threatening with puffed up gestures and poses. But he has very limited power.

I'm talking about hiring. I believe this project had positive ROI for Netflix (where I used to work) because of how it helped bring attention to Netflix's ML problems. Maybe you disagree with this, totally fine.

The blog-post asserts causality is not violated, but the author contradicts it elsewhere by claiming the hypothetical system would grant other benefits like "zero latency" gaming, which in turn means arbitrary data (e.g. human decisions) can somehow travel back-and-forth faster than light.

In addition to local differences (I was in very northern Germany) I'm sure my perceptions were colored by being at a Gymnasium, but I did also interact with kids from other schools.

I'm not saying that alcoholism isn't an issue in Germany. However the data I've found says alcoholism is about twice as prevelant in the USA as in Germany. Healthiness of drinking behavior isn't all all or nothing thing but a spectrum.

Having a sober father may have meant that you missed out on more direct knowledge transfere from your parents. You still would have had some of that knowledge transfere indirectly via your peers

In the USA, due to the laws, underage drinking, especially in highschool, tends to be much more segregated in terms of age. Each generation of teenages has to learn how to drink while hiding it from their parents. In my experience this means that teenage drinkers in germany tend to be more aware of their level of inebriation and thus tend to not binge as hard. There is more of an expectation socially to keep your shit together while in the USA there's more of a tendency to celebrate and brag about losing control, especially among the young for whom it is more novel. It's also possible (indeed likely) that many of the Germans kids I knew started drinking before 16 and that accounts for some of the differences I observed.

I’m not convinced by this proposed dichotomy: I know plenty of “Weird Nerd”-type academics who are also ruthless bureaucrats, proficient in leveraging their Boy Genius status to bully, belittle, and generally undermine the academic system whenever it doesn’t directly advance their interests.

Just about every I know with a higher STEM degree has a personal story about one of these types. A professional administrator with no interest in “real” academia is its own kind of ill, but it’s not clear to me that things were all that rosy to begin with.
They have been some studies where they showed that NEAT (Non-exercise activity thermogenesis) varies widely acros individual and even with the same individual at different time. I think variation as wide as 1500 have been observed. Enough to explain the people who eat a lot but don't gain weight .
chipStar (formerly CHIP-SPV) might also be worth checking out: https://github.com/CHIP-SPV/chipStar

It compiles CUDA/HIP C++ to SPIR-V that can run on top of OpenCL or Level Zero. (It does require OpenCL's compute flavored SPIR-V, instead of graphics flavored SPIR-V as seen in OpenGL or Vulkan. I also think it requires some OpenCL extensions that are currently exclusive to Intel NEO, but should on paper be coming to Mesa's rusticl implementation too.
Also the bit about AFM in the 1980s and 1990s being against "hippies" and rock musicians is pretty absurd. In the 1950s and 1960s, sure, the AFM bosses were people who liked Bing Crosby and not so much Elvis or The Rolling Stones. But those people were retired or dead by the 1980s, and instead the bosses were people who grew up with rock music!
That’s not how it works though. The place where you release the water, a local hot spot is created and the heat takes a while to gradually dissipate. If you continuously release hot water, then a permanent localized hot spot is created.

This may work for some marine species, but will also be damaging to others. If it affects a keystone species negatively, like say corals, then a larger die off can happen.

This is the exact logic why desalination plants are widely considered bad. Yes, if you look at the entire ocean, you’re barely increasing the salinity of the water, but for the local neighborhood where the waste water is released, the salinity goes up to the point that even saltwater fish find it toxic.
