Nontheless the point about learning to accept downvotes is valid because "why was I downvoted?"-crybaby posts are annoying, useless and tend to also get downvoted.

Just as this meta-voting-post of mine should :)
It's also full of people debunking it (or trying). So why single out the people who like it, as if there is no opposition?

Also, people posted studies that are both positive and negative towards Bullshit Jobs. How do you reconsile this? Personally I think it means his theories are not outright madness and have merit, and it's hard to reason about just like with other social studies.

Pillars of Eternity sold well enough to save Obsidian from bankruptcy.

D:OS sold 500,000 copies in 3 months, making over $10,000,000 on a development budget of $4 million. Not AAA numbers, but Larian more than doubled their investment.
This assumes that the refining process works the same no matter what the initial concentration is. (Don't know if it's true or not, but it's an unstated assumption.)

You have mentioned a handful of dates and events in U.S. sociopolitical history but cited no data to link them to the observed trends in post-secondary institutional attendance. The “post hoc ergo propter hoc” fallacy, basically. I would love to understand this shift in post-secondary education but “It’s Obama and #MeToo,” seems reductionist at best.

And, looking at the provided graph, the precipitous phase of the decline in male attendance began in 2017; Obama was not the U.S. president at that time.

The problem is with streaming really. Come to a shop where physical works of music are sold, everything is free for listening there. Come to bandcamp – where you can buy and own a digital album, everything is free for listening there. Come to spotify - here you pay to a middle man, who decides whatever crap cut he will pay to a musician per play button pressed – it is instantly visible the whole model is not viable and only makes the middle-man really profit
Helium is the second most abundant element in the universe. But it is an ideal gas, and very light, which means it is hard for a terrestrial planet, like earth, to retain it. Unfortunately bringing helium to earth from the gas planets isn't really economically viable.

Helium is also a byproduct of both nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. Although I don't know how viable it is to capture it.

Weird unpleasant background for sure but it's obviously not that because it doesn't follow your eyes. Don't be daft.
For one, Mastodon's author is from Germany, but I don't think that has a lot of impact.

What definitely does is that the major European server providers tend to be located in one of those two countries (like OVH or Hetzner). Note that server location != user location, users could be anywhere in Europe without a noticeable latency.

Doesn't make any sense for me to pay for a server located in my country when I can find one in Germany with an order of magnitude better performance for the price.
yes, a work environment where you have a sort of mix of white and blue collar culture both individually and collectively rather than the "manager on the top floor, worker at the bottom" thing. Companies where the boss is also able and willing to grab some tools and get to work. Flat hierarchies and informal relationships, not the 15 levels to the top ladder thing. Prototypical example is a German or Japanese small/medium business, but software startups often are a lot like it too. They just lose it generally as they blow up and transition to the typical US/British management style.
> That's expected when you realize that time and space are not different things [...] The only thing separating them is a sign which in turn is based purely on convention.

The fact that spatial and temporal dimensions require different signs in the metric signature (regardless of whether you take the +--- or the -+++ convention) should suggest that time and space dimensions are indeed, in some sense, different (in the sense of "not interchangeable").

There's a reason space-time is usually modelled as a 4-dimensional Lorentizan manifold, rather than a 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold.

What's wrong with this? Genuine question.

Modern .NET is fully open-source with a permissive MIT licence. This includes the compiler and analysers infrastructure (Roslyn), the package manager (Nuget), and even the shell language (PowerShell).

It is a superb alternative to Java, Go, and similar languages. Why is using .NET on Linux or MacOS such a weird thing?

You are talking different thing. I don’t care what “purpose “ you want to achieve. I merely point out this performance number is mediocre at best, because the enormous computing power thrown at it , wether you like it or not.

To put it into perspective there are 68 nodes with 98 hard thread each, means only 1000/7000 = 140MB/s per thread or 280MB/s per core, and that’s not that impressive, to be honest.

He probably didn't take the deal because it would have meant he would never see his children again.
I actually worked on the Wind River Linux team for a couple of years. The distro as a whole is not bad actually. Especially since it switched to Yocto.

I found that most of the actual issues we were having were due to the BSPs we were pulling in from other vendors. And WRL supported/probably still does _a lot_ of BSPs from _a lot_ of vendors for _a lot_ of architectures.

There are not that many commercially supported _embedded_ linux distributions. And WRL worked quite well for the vast majority of its customers. And I am proud to have had the honor of working with a lot of smart people there too.

My favorite part of the whole experience was that when breakage did happen, it was super quick to fix and get it into mainline. It was the first time I saw such a streamlined release process. Other companies had a release process so convoluted that it would take over half a year for a fix of mine to reach the customer.

Didn't NASA agree to go fully metric under Obama after the cancellation of Constellation?
This image is something that makes me grateful for technology, a probe was sent into our solar system, rendezvoused with a rock, colected a sample, returned back to earth and I am able to view a high resolution image on my phone almost as soon as the canister was opened. The amount of technology to make this work in space and on my phone is too long to figure out in full but bravo to all the engineers from NASA to camera makers to WordPress and everything on every layer in between that they are built on, I salute you all!

As I tried to clarify above, the helicopter was a tech demo ($90M) and not subject to the same risk rules as “very expensive projects like mars landers” (Perseverance: $2.4B). Your first sentence is trying to equate them.

Heli was on board the lander but it was not subject to the same risk constraints.

I think your probabilistic risk assessment has something going for it, but not all risk would scale that way.

I’m surprised at the self assurance of some of these comments!

I don't really like driving per se, but public transport, regardless of its sophistication (for example, as seen in Tokyo), has its challenges, particularly when it comes to grocery shopping. Transporting a large quantity of goods can be impractical, if not impossible, without a car. Even carrying a moderate amount can be exhausting due to the 'last 100 meter' issue, which persists even if one lives close to a metro station, say within a five-minute walk.

Moreover, public transport often isn't as comfortable as your own vehicle (which I understand is a luxury).

Conversely, when it comes to driving in a large city, finding a parking spot can often be a major hassle.

I'm confused how you would see this as anything other than further evidence for my point.

Don't install native apps from hostile networks like Facebook; they hook into systems that shouldn't exist that were added as a privacy-compromising concession in order to avoid regulatory scrutiny into other systems that also shouldn't exist.

The history of IDFA ultimately boils down to one fact: that for whatever reason it was added, the protections in place now are still protecting you from a tracking system that Apple added. And Apple's standards on what is and isn't an acceptable line to cross regarding privacy demonstrably are not always as going to be as strict as they ought to be. Sometimes Apple compromises.

These apps are not safe just because they have Apple's seal of approval, there is a certain threshold of abusive behavior from apps like Facebook that Apple will tolerate. It is better to use a web browser so that (however imperfect it may be) you can get at least some small amount of real sandboxing.

Look, I'm not even saying you need to support third-party app stores. I obviously have opinions on that, but if you disagree and think 3rd party stores will make things worse, then fine. That's not my point. My point is: don't get the impression that Facebook's native app is safe just because Apple hasn't removed it. iOS doesn't have enough tracking protection to make it a good idea to use these apps natively on your phone or to make it OK to advise others to install them; they should be avoided and used only within a browser if you care about your privacy.

>"Most Titanic victims understandably succumbed to mortal panic as soon as they hit the icy water, but [Charles] Joughin was so bombed out of his mind that he didn’t seem to care.

Booze didn’t protect Joughin from the cold that night, but it did give him just enough false hope and inflated confidence to think that he could doggy paddle his way out of history’s worst maritime disaster. And in this one case, that turned out to be true."

So, there's the Bear Grylls and Wim Hof and Les Stroud (etc.) survival methods -- do everything you can to survive -- but now there's also apparently the Charles Joughin survival method -- just get completely sh-tfaced drunk! Get completely hammered, get completely sloshed!

And well, that's it!

There's nothing more to do!

Let nature (or in this case, the sinking Titanic!) take care of itself!

All you gotta do is find some (well, technically a lot of) alcohol -- and imbibe it!

And well, that's it!

There's no survival techniques, no preparedness checks, no physical and mental strengthening beforehand, no grit, no training, no exercise, no survival will, no special survial equipment, no nothing required -- just booze!

And the guy actually survived! :-) <g> :-)

Everything you gave Jobs credit for was actually the work of John Lassetter. Pixar was floundering under Jobs' leadership. Lassetter had the Disney connection that saved the company. Jobs nearly killed the Disney deal many times, and due to his abysmal negotiating skills Disney ended up owning the rights to all of the films and characters made by Pixar (i.e., essentially everything of value).

Fear not, these are configuration options for a project called Home Manager, which manages your user configuration and dotfiles with the help of Nix the package manager:

for 3 years i worked in a building with one. it was the best part of coming in in the morning and super fun. no accidents that i noticed in the time i was there.
They allowed some html, though, which is why they didn't safely print your bio as a plain (html escaped) string.
Not a bad idea actually-- alot of work though to do it accurately :/
Home-Manager is a project that brings declarative user home directory management to Nix. You can have it set up dotfiles, user systemd services, etc. All the things to do with stuff in your home directory.

The documentation for Home-Manager that is generated is an extremely large html file with every option listed. It is not easy to read or discover options in. The linked tool provides a search field to query the available options for Home-Manager, making it much easier to digest. This is similar to the NixOS Options search tool which does the same job of providing search for NixOS options.
I worked on the same floor as the compiler guys and they were probably some of the best programmers in the company, them and the vxworks guys.

I think he planned it.

* He testified on the stand that Nina was a terrible person and a danger to their children. A bold strategy when you're on trial for murdering your wife.

* He was angry that Nina preferred that one of his sons not play violent video games like Grand Theft Auto, because he believed his son was special and might learn something about how violence really works.

* Right before he was arrested, he handed the hard drives from his computer to his lawyer. His lawyer gave the drives to the court about 3/4 through the trial. The judge was extremely displeased. The court had the county's forensic investigators go through the drives. The drives were formatted with NTFS, NOT ReiserFS. One insane email chain discovered in it was Nina mailing Hans about the logistics of planning for new clothes and school supplies for the 2 kids for the upcoming new school year, Hans response was "It is Moscow 1942, you are the Germans, I will prevail".

Not really, right? There are a ton of special tokens, like start of sequence etc., so what happens if there are two start of sequences predicted? It's a valid token but cannot really be turned into something sensible, so it throws an error when converting tokens to plain text?

As others pointed out he seems to be talking more about about automation which... sure that's a fine discussion to have, but what bugged me more than anything is the overselling of Waymo/FSD. I understand a lot of this is also on a spectrum but it seems a bit irresponsible of Karpathy not to mention crashes Waymo has faced or other problems FSD systems have faced. It's not just an issue of scaling up, sensors, etc. There is more engineering work that needs to be put in clearly. It's fine to bring it up in his example of reactions to economical forces, but let's be completely honest about the whole thing.
Post-merge reviews obviously help with the same goal of having very little work stuck in WIP. But it's a 80/20 kind of goal, not all or nothing. Post-merge reviews are probably only worth it when you can trust the developers to not screw up too much and to broadly agree on quality standards.

This article is a bit stating the status quo because games have largely not been funded by VC for most of their lifetime. Although saying that I’ve worked at three venture backed studios in two decades. Although these have all been focused around ‘bigger ideas’ rather than a single game.

I would say the days of crowdfunding being a sensible strategy for early stage funding isn’t true anymore. Rather it’s a great way to spend money to help build a community early on. You need a lot of work and good production value to attract attention.

Games funding itself feels like it’s in a tricky place. Even “indie” titles are getting up into budgets of $1-2 million and obviously on the other end of the scale there’s non-stop complaining about how AAA costs are out of control versus the money consumers are willing to spend. Then there feels like a scattershot of smaller publishers that are to an extent preying on starry eyed kids making their first game where budgets offered are unsustainably small and promises to help with discovery never happen.

From a developer perspective VC seems a lot more attractive as well. Typically less onerous to get, different kind of working relationship, doesn’t eat into revenue and the numbers are higher! But you have to be making something very specifically interesting to the people investing and have a team pedigree they recognise.
