Though my current location (Japan) timezone is 14 hours ahead of you, I have a good family base in NY-NJ area with another home base on US west coast and professional network on both coast. So spending few months in the area to work together is not a problem.

I get contacted by too many "idea" people who are one developer or salesman away from making it big. I am not interested in such people. I am interested in teaming up with someone who is capable of doing whatever needed to move forward, someone who can also execute and roll up the sleeves to code when needed, outreach when needed, learn new things when needed, and not afraid to take on unknown. Excellent communication skills, and frequent and open communication are must.
Yeah, the security posture of that repository is kind of a mess (which is why something like https://adnanthekhan.com/2023/12/20/one-supply-chain-attack-... was even possible in the first place).

The balance there is overwhelmingly in favor of usability and having new tools (hence the 1 week deployment cadence). Maybe there is some process they have to go over everything before it makes it into the production pool, but that’s quite an undertaking to perform properly every week.

Not that simple, at least in the U.S. Rail has far stricter requirements on turn radius and grade. As an example the highways around here have 6%+ grade segments (after tunneling!) and rail is rarely over 1%. I haven’t even mentioned the incorrect subgrade and the massive safety envelope (approx 20x20 feet) which is about 2 highway lanes wide and far too tall for the thousands of highway overpasses.

Rail truly is a unique infrastructure concern and needs to be designed and laid on its own.

As a resident of a major metropolitan area, FedEx shipping is the worst of the providers (including DHL and Lazership). They regularly claim to attempt a delivery but don't even come to my home, nor do they deliver to my front (as called out in my delivery instructions), but instead leave packages by my garbage bins.

Neither Apple nor Microsoft want any usable multiplatform graphics API. For this reason, none of them delivers such a thing.

If you want a multiplatform graphics API, you should use a library which implements such API on top of these native OS-specific APIs.

From my understanding of exercise and inflammation, is that inflammation is the bodies stress & repair mechanism kicking in as a result of muscular damage etc from exercise. The acute inflammation following exercise is the body signalling to repair itself, hopefully resulting in adaptations that make the muscles and surrounding tissue stronger.

Following that your body in theory is better equipped to cope with future exercise/movement stresses, therefore attributable to reduced inflammation long term.

This is why there is somewhat of a debate in the exercise community around the true benefit of ice baths, hot/cold plunges, compression leggings etc. Whilst they feel good, these work to try to reduce inflammation, which is not necessarily what we want after exercise. There is a time and a place for reducing inflammation.
I find FBA / the logistics side great. In urban areas they are running multiple deliveries a day and reliability / speed is crazy good. So I feel like they are delivering well there. Oddly it’s the seller / brands / marketplace quality that I wish they focused on more - even if that involved more brand cancellations etc. So my experience is that the Amazon logistics side is great but seller product quality often isn’t

With symphonies, I'm already familiar with them after listening to them the first few times. Like I've listened to individual movements separately several times, but if I listen to all them together, fully concentrating on the music , and not distracted with anything else, the whole is a lot more than the individual components. In busy lives hyper focused on always being productive, maximizing for status or money, getting the time to listen to hour plus long symphony in one go is hard. And having a settled mind to do that is even harder.
So, like, Amazon’s business model but with one fewer middlemen? Seems plausible enough.

> Rsync's name might be a little misleading. It doesn't attempt to sync the directories unless you ask it to, aka just copy.

rsync will "just copy" if you point it at an empty destination. Otherwise it will try to sync.

rsync source/ dest/

rsync has options to preserve ownership, modification date/time, etc. similar to cp's -a (archive) mode. Most important to me and I think a lot of rsync users: it can restart failed transfers. That's more important when transferring over a network but it works on local copies too.

> However I remember studies from a while ago showing that rsync actually performs worse than cp/scp under certain circumstances.

Maybe you're thinking of these threads:

https://serverfault.com/questions/43014/copying-a-large-dire...

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6339287/copy-or-rsync-co...

Not really seeeing significant performance difference but maybe you can find data. In the case of maintaining a copy of a directory of files that gets added to and changed that's an exact description of what rsync does, and it has years of optimizations for exactly that.

scp, on the other hand, is both slower than rsync for non-trivial cases (more than a few files), and less secure. "The scp protocol is outdated, inflexible and not readily fixed. We recommend the use of more modern protocols like sftp and rsync for file transfer instead." (from OpenSSH 8.0 release notes, 2019-04-17). scp was informally deprecated in favor of rsync a long time ago.

On the contrary, it indicates that truly talented and capable people are rare. Having more of them would allow the rest of us to live under less adverse conditions, find a way to become smarter and live longer.

I also think something important here is AMD's strategy with APU has been small to large. Something that really stood out to me over the last few years is that NVidia was capturing the AI market with big and powerful GPU while AMD's efforts were all going into APU research at the low end. My belief is that they were preparing for a mobile-heavy future where small, capable all-purpose chips would have a big edge.

They might even be right. One of the potential advantages of the APU approach is if they GPU can be absorbed into the CPU with shared memory, a lot of the memory management of CUDA would be obsoleted and it becomes not that interesting any more. AMD are competent, they just have sucky crash-prone GPU drivers.

I disagree, most react developers are not even aware of this massive foot gun. I do blame tools for problems that are completely avoided by other tools, we can just consider this a difference in philosophy but I prefer to use tools that make as many types of mistakes impossible as they can.
Would it? You’re allowed to use chapter 3 wiring methods for audio, but two speaker circuits is four “ungrounded conductors.”

Having been on NixOS exclusively for a couple years now, it's inconceivable for me to go back to a non-declarative OS. It would be analogous to from from Git to unversioned source code. My operating environment is a piece of compiled software itself now, and is remarkably reliable and predictable. Yes, it's difficult to learn and takes more work, but it's similar to Git in that respect - powerful tools are worth the effort if it's your vocation.
In software in particular, thresholds have fallen. Maybe "Senior" today is like a junior 15 years ago. (Some interns out of college are really sharp, and some can basically work at the "senior" level immediately. Basically, they think logically, and they know how to write software, which they've been practicing through high school and some college.)

Put another way ... most companies just really suck at hiring software engineers, and the ones they hired before weren't good enough, so it seems they need to hire at a higher level ...
Maybe this is why the computers are so low-tech in the "Silo" series.

> I don’t know how anybody had the patience to sift through the scattered writings on those things before.

Foundational knowledge. Before you delve into x11, you learn how graphics works at the lower level first, and then you build upon this. Before the actual implementation, there was a design. Once you figure it out, you can guess how the implementation is done. You confirm your guess from the docs and code if it’s available.

Why?

If I’m going to put my business on hold for 3 months to entertain your offer to buy my company, why would it not make sense to make sure the buyer is serious enough to offer something they shouldn’t need to ever pay out if they are serious about their offer?

> structure the dealmaking or negotiate the deal to get what you want.

You usually have lawyers doing a lot of the legal strategy for you. It’s easy to say “negotiate what you want”, but realistically this negotiation happens via redlines back and forth between lawyers who consult the buyer and seller who both make concessions. Whether or not you make a concession is often influenced by what’s most commonly occurring in other deals.

What’s most common in other deals doesn’t automatically equate to what’s the most fair and balanced transaction terms.
