vi and emacs are prehistoric. Folks now are ok with / and \ and maybe some can deal with : as a file separator.

But in the precambrian era you needed to know about ^ to edit a specific version of a file, because diffs were tracked.

They're both wonderful and amazing and can handle anything, because they had to handle everything when filesystems were like a brand new invention and nobody really knew what was good or bad, so they threw everything in.

You haven't experienced symptoms of the disease.

You realize that a lot of COVID cases are asymptomatic right? So the only way you'd know you haven't had it is to have continually done lab based tests all this time.

Some part of that is due to the design of BlueSky. But I think most of it was ironically due to the invite system simply existing. Jack wanted an open platform.
The iPhone is the most profitable product in the world. It gets massive resources to design a new SoC every single year. That resource spills over to the M series which is just based on whatever the A series does that year.

Reminds me of the story of what happened when traffic lights got "upgraded" to LED to save on energy. First winter all traffic lights got completely covered in snow and traffic ground to a halt. The "waste" heat as was not such a complete waste after all, it was continuously melting snow off the lights.

So, just add heating element when you need it? It's probably more efficient to use LED lights than to have incandescent light bulb for the few days of the year when you need it.

If you need to keep the heat with the wastewater, don't harvest it unless there's excess heat to be harvested.

Lesson from GE: Financial engineering is not engineering.

Further lessons from GE:

* Gaming the system internally or externally is something a CEO needs to actively manage and defeat, not reward.

* Trying to turn businesses based on contracts for delivery (with lumpy revenue/risks) into contracts for service and recurring revenue is a dangerous game, because you take your eye off the ball that is delivering the products in the first place.

* Conglomerates of disparate businesses never work in the long term, primarily because of the points above. Google is an example of how that affects IT/cloud/services businesses. Microsoft is an example of how to re-orient the business to focus on a specific class of customers (Enterprise) and their direct needs.
My long held belief: green/user-level/M:N threading schemes never work at first, and only work reliably after extreme effort has been put into fixing all the cases where blocking code gets called underneath. afaik there are only two modern working implementations: golang and erlang. This article is consistent with that belief.
Sorry, I wasn’t clear (english is not my first language). What I meant to say was: The only point I’ve made which you’ve addressed.

I made more points in my parent post (which you didn’t address) and you made more points in your reply (which I subsequently didn’t address). The intersection of these points was only one point (that I found), and is what I replied to.

But it was unnecessary for you to assume believes from me about which live matter. Please don’t do that.

I'll take any excuse to talk about myself ;) Thank you for being curious -

I just absolutely do not buy that I took ~5 CS classes and did a great job on the interview questions.

I don't think I did a great job -- but, I was a deeply specialized self-taught iOS engineer who had built a point of sale.

When you're at Google, work is more episodic and less in-depth, so I had a seemingly unusually wide and in-depth knowledge base.

And iOS devs were considered hard to get. And Google had a special focus internally on getting iOS-specific interviewers who, at least in 2016, usually did a lot of work with non-iOS specialists.

So you have these sort of inherent biases towards me seeming relatively impressive to their day-to-day experience with other Googlers. Then, I'm fairly convinced the leetcode problems we do add a significant "luck" portion.

I spent about 6 hours a day, 6 weeks before interviews, in Cracking the Coding Interview and was still missing problems in the 1st chapter towards the end.

I'm selling myself short, probably. But looking back, I see it as luck, structural factors, and what pushed it over the top was focusing on communication / thinking out loud in the interviews. As long as you're intelligent, familiar with the material, and your interlocutor is having an okay day, you'll come off well.

Source for this?

Geekbench and SPEC heavily favors Apple Silicon in both raw performance and perf/watt. The perf per watt is 2-3x.

The only CPU benchmark Zen4 wins in is Cinebench R23, which uses Intel Embree engine inside and heavily optimizes for x86 AVX instructions.

For those who aren't familiar, they're more-or-less a firework: Cardboard shell with redundant fuses wrapped around it to activate a charge inside, and with fire-putter-outer powder (IIRC sodium bicarb, but maybe something else) instead of stars. This whole thing is then wrapped in thin plastic.

Operation is simple: Fuse lights, because fire. It burns fast, by design. It explodes. The area is covered in powder.

It might even work. (Might make things worse, too, but things are already awful by this point.)

REST/RIBCLI interface for iLO (https://support.hpe.com/connect/s/softwaredetails?language=e...)

It certanly has some reading on the power but it's just don't display it in the interface.

At least https://www.storagereview.com/review/hp-proliant-microserver... says it has Power Meter menu entry?

Also check if you really running the updated firmware for the iLO.
The `synchronized` by itself does not cause any problems for virtual threads.

Only when one calls a blocking operation from synchronized, the thread is not unmounted. E.g. `synchronized (...) {blockingQueue.take()}`. Note that this is not a sane coding practice. (Calling a potentially long operation from within synchronized. The blockingQueue.take() does not need to be wrapped into synchronized. It has synchronization inside and plays well with virtual threads. Only when wrapped into the synchronized, the current implementation can not unmount the virtual thread.).

That was invented nearly 100 years ago, and was discontinued in the 90s (and the commenter above you linked to a video about it). I advocate for doing that kind of design upthread. In my personal opinion, they died out about 10-15 years before the new wave of high end kitchen implements would have justified the higher price.
Been ages since I’ve touched it but back in 2017-2018 I had some fun integrating HikariCP in place of c3p0 in some Clojure projects and it was more performant.

> vi and vim have modes becaus they were created in an era where computing and terminal capabilities were very limited.

that's the whole point. it was designed for limited terminals and high latency, very slow serial links. that means when you learn it and all of its shortcuts and you have a fast and modern terminal, you are able to edit at ludicrous speed.

it's like training at altitude or running with weight belts for editing text.
I think it's closer to "companies won't hire people to do $THING unless they've done $THING before." That, combined with overinflating requirements, interviews that don't bear a lot of resemblance to the actual job, and interviews that are far more difficult than the actual job, plus perhaps a dose of what you said, seems to explain it. The first of these things is probably related to having people with HR or sales backgrounds (recruiters) reading resumes without understanding what they're reading. The latter two seems mostly like cargo culting FAANG interviews (and, from what I hear, even FAANG interviews are the same in the sense of not being all that related to the actual job yet also being more difficult).
Let me make a completely unrelated and orthogonal observation that has nothing to do with this post.

Mutexes, semaphore, CAS, threads are fundamental and this doesn't change when you embrace monadic effect systems or continuations, even if some of the details change (e.g., obviously, if a computation can jump threads, then you need implementations of mutexes, semaphores, etc, that can jump threads).

Also, programming languages in 10 years from now will be pretty much the same languages we have today. There might be a newcomer or two, but it will be niche, as incumbents don't really change and only grow.

As a reminder, for people thinking that technologies change too fast, POSIX is still here and as relevant as ever.
So like, here's the thing with the overdose crisis - it is in fact just like the dangerous chemicals being put in a jar. It's actually specifically that.

The recent spike in drug overdoses has nearly nothing to do with people going out and making bad decisions (at least, not more than they've made over the last 50 years), but the fact that doctors and pharma companies, who ought to know better, keep putting fentanyl out into the world and making it as accessible as any other schedule 1 controlled substance. You know, like weed is a schedule 1 controlled substance (1).

According to NIDA (who are the don't-do-drugs-mmkay folks, responsible for gems like the egg ad and DARE), the lion's share of the spike in drug-related fatalities is due to instances where the drugs taken were "in combination with synthetic opioids other than methadone" (2). That's fentanyl, folks. As cheap and easy to get as it is lethal, and here we are putting it in hospitals because anesthesiologists think it's just the bee's knees.

So like, we're putting little microscopic landmines out there AND creating the circumstances for an unregulated black market that benefits from mixing said landmines into people's cocaine, which ostensibly they want because they have a really great business pitch they just gotta get out at 3am at the club (rather than a crippling addiction that's leading them to OD). IMHO, kinda similar to the fire grenades. No way bad shit ain't gonna happen and it's on us if we're surprised.

That only applies to applicants who have competing offers, with substantial variation between offers in terms of compensation. That happens to very few people.
That is not really an explanation. You are just stating how things are in a non-explanatory way.

> should expect

Should why, though? You didn't explain why they should have this expectation, rather than any other.

> There's no particular reason these two should be in lockstep

There is a pressure to keep these in lock-step: if you are paying lower than market rate, your employees have an incentive to go sell their labor elsewhere for more; if you are paying higher than market rate, you have an incentive to cut their pay (if you lose them over this, you can still replace them for less money). There are many reasons why such a basic price theory analysis is so incomplete as to give the wrong conclusion, but it's a real reason these things would be in lockstep that requires explanation why as to how it is inapplicable or incomplete.
So what? why don’t you make a wrapper? Or if you don’t like that way, make one yourself instead of complaining thing’s others give you for free?
Claiming the sales as a profit in the above situation is dubious. When I leaseback an asset I previously owned, I am taking a long term liability which is larger than the profit. This is totally fine in the case of something like an office building - a company probably won’t be around or be fit for the lifetime of the building - but dubious for core company assets.

"Funny" story along the same lines from an alumina refinery I worked at.

Part of alumina requires use of a lot of extremely corrosive sodium hydroxide liquid, which eats through aluminium like the acid blood from Aliens. A neutralizing agent was developed that could be quickly applied to burns from the liquid, delivered via a pressurised can that workers would keep on their person at all times.

The material the pressurised can was made of? Aluminium, of course.

The sight of the safety superintendent swaggering around a chemical refinery with essentially a grenade attached to his belt for a couple of weeks before they realised the danger, was my first real eye-opener to how people can be promoted FAR past their level of competence.
Just because we both want different things doesn't mean they both can't exist.
What's funny about this is that, while very far from perfect, kitchen appliances is one of the realms where it's easier than just about any other market segment to find high quality, well designed, long lasting devices. Yes, there is whole oceans of cheap disposable garbage, but for people who care, you can get a high quality version of just about every single kitchen thing you might want.

Nobody that wants to drive / needs to drive needs to buy a brand new car per-se. For 5K and up you can get a perfectly serviceable car that has more life left in it than a brand new car from the past and that will pass emissions tests for various environmental zones. My daily driver is 25 years old and I can drive it anywhere. I've owned quite a few vehicles, some new, some old and in spite of the cars sticker price being lower in the 70's and 80's I was very far removed from being able to buy a new vehicle when I got my license first (in '86 or so). You are constructing a whole pile of arguments that have a poor or even no foundation and I'm saying that as a EU driver who could afford a brand new car now but that's mostly because of my increase in income. New car ownership historically wasn't a thing that 'the poor' engaged in and with prices being roughly steady at 1 years worth of income it's clear that you either need to borrow money or save a lot of money to buy a brand new car, unless your boss is friendly enough to provide you with a brand new lease vehicle (which in software circles isn't rare at all).

If you evaluate the cheap cars from the past (say, 1986: Mini, 2CV to a lesser extent the 2CV and really cheap options such as Yugo, Zastava and the Fiat Panda of the day) you'll find that they were very slow and underpowered, consumed quite a bit of fuel, were super dangerous to drive (both the Mini and the 2CV were essentially driving coffins, I should know, I've had both) and were comparatively high maintenance. They were also about 10K guilders at the time, which today would be approximately 11500 euros give or take. That's order of magnitude equivalent but your 15K car today is much safer, sips fuel in comparison and will go three times as far between service intervals.

Car ownership right now is very easy, new car ownership is harder, but it always was, and if you want to compare apples-to-apples you need to compare much higher class vehicles from the 80's with the present low end because the low end from back then has simply disappeared: nobody would buy a 1 star NCAP vehicle even if it was cheap and available, the market simply isn't there anymore. Maybe you're the exception but if that's so then I'm sure you can find a nicely restored 1980's mini for that kind of money. But please don't, they're more dangerous than they even were back then because a modern 'cheap' vehicle will drive right through a 1986 Mini in an accident.
Sadly it’s almost always “learned” from (or actively “taught” by) others, mostly parents or peers who themselves learned it from parents.

Children/young adults aren’t even necessarily aware that their behaviour is inappropriate as it’s “normal” based on what they’ve seen happen around them their whole lives.

Adults should know better, but may do it anyway due to the human tendency to often dig their feet in, or consciously/actively do it for a reason which really has nothing to with the persecuted group.

Bigotry/racism/sexism persevere largely due to the above.

It's not regretted if 1) employees are considered fungible, and/or 2) it's expected and planned for. One of both of those things tends to apply in most workplaces.
I wanted to move aboard when I lived in Finland and interviewed with that in mind. I got offer from UK company, but ended up agreeing to counter offer as then current company intended to open US office and I could move there at that point. Unfortunately that didn't quite pan out as company went bankrupt, but I did end up getting hired by the company that bought the IP and moved to the US after pandemic ended.

So at least for me it didn't pan out terribly though there was some luck involved.

I can see the company being upset at attempting to leverage an internal position for more money at the current, but denying the move entirely is bizarre to me. I know several people who have interviewed within the company, not in an unduly secretive way, for a new role which has always come with a higher title or pay.

Edit: I guess I should say this was not part of a corporate, "Interview for your job after a layoff" kind of deal. Just seeing a posting on an internal job board, and semi-privately interviewing with that line manager. An internal job hop that can happen for any number of reasons.

Not sure but can mention some challenges:

- The power budget of a traditional HA is ~1mW and operate on ~1V. Existing vendors use custom silicon with sub-threshold designs to hit this. I see this as one of their largest moats. Lipo rechargeable wearables work around this problem.

- Customers for your product want their hearing back, and that's not something HAs realistically provide. So selling them is pretty weird as your customer isn't going to be completely satisfied and newer HAs won't improve much along this dimension. On the other hand you can sell "comfort" via noise reduction, bluetooth streaming, and whatever technology buzzwords you can fit on a brochure.

- But can my fancier DSP algorithms improve speech understanding in noise? Maybe, but you've got a 10ms latency budget in which to do so. Hard to compete with the human brain which can cheat and backdate perceptions into the past.

- FM systems, on the other hand, can dramatically improve speech understanding by eliminating noise and echoes. Right now it's only a fit for situations where you can mic the speaker. Traditional HA companies have a hand in making these.
