Face-to-face, I wouldn't expect that[0]. But in e-mail to direct subordinates, oh, they're so much worse.

The last decade of my Telecom days I reported variously to our department director, our department VP and ultimately our CIO and I had no direct reports[1]. My favorite was when I reported to a particular director. She was famous for sending sentence fragments as requests that, if you didn't look at the subject line, you'd picture a warden ordering prisoners around. It was most noticeable because she was such a pleasant, easy going individual ... if you'd only ever met her through e-mail, you'd think she was angry all the time. Like, literally one liners shot off from a Blackberry "need patch reports pronto" (it was either all lower or ALL UPPER depending on what she was doing when she sent the message, which added a little extra flair sometimes).

I don't know that we talk to each other all that politely via e-mail and written correspondence, already, especially in the above context. Other people are just "some opinion I don't like on a page" or "someone is wrong on the internet!", why would we converse with a chatbot any differently? And I don't treat Alexa any differently, TBH. I yell at it all the time. I've gotten used to just yelling "Alexa! Stop!" instead of more complex commands because the pre-GPT engine is extremely limited and it in no way feels like a real thing, either. And as long as I know the thing on the other end is a computer, whether it speaks to me or types to me, I'm going to similarly not care for the feelings it (presently?) does not have. This, however, does not affect the way I interact with others[2].

[0] Although, most reasonable CEOs would be very careful wording e-mails to employees they don't regularly encounter (understanding the "holy crap the CEO e-mailed me" shock).

[1] I'm sure I explain this in a past comment, but it happened b/c all of the managers above me gradually were let go and I didn't have a natural fit.

[2] Cue sarcastic comment. :)

Windows during the longhorn timeframe tried to create a database/FS hybrid. I think the interface differences matter in terms of optimization offered by the storage layer.

I'm sure you know all this and you were trying to make a high level point, but this old school diagram from the java content repository days shows a nice breakdown of functional differences between the two that lead to very different outcomes:

I don't know, it seems a bit dishonest to imply that the rats wanted the selfies(I got that impression), when all they wanted was pressing the button, because they learned, it would produce treats reliable, and later at least sometimes. If at some point, there never would be treats coming anymore, that would uncondition themself and at some further point, they would not care about that stupid button anymore. Unless of course, they would have nothing else to play with. (Is that also a metapher about FB?)
I’m sure you could set up a non-profit organization with smart people that are passionate (but not dogmatic) about open source, that could selectively fund projects or even just GitHub sponsoring / bug bounties.
So you're saying that human code review by Apple is the only thing protecting your iPhone from apps installing root kits?

I never knew that every app gets root access on iOS and that the security model hinged entirely in Apple's control of the App Store.
I found some useful links below for answering my questions, ironically in a dead (but very informative) comment from johnvak01.

tl;dr: old school versions apply clarifications and enhancements to the original B/X rules for smoother gameplay, some add additional content, and many people want to avoid paying anything to WotC
> How do these community versions, like Old School Essentials, differ from using the real BECMI rules?

Not a lot. (though Old School Essentials is based on the earlier Basic/Expert or B/X rules, not BECMI [0])
Generally the biggest change is that almost all OSR games use ascending armor class.

> What would motivate a group to pick up one of these, rather than say a reprint of the Rules Cyclopedia (or using a free digital copy from archive.org)?

Old School Essentials is far more clearly written and easier to use. A lot of thought was put into layout so that all of the relevant rules for a given topic (e.g. the steps involved in character creation, or the dungeon exploration rules) fit on a single two-page spread. Spell descriptions are bullet-pointed in a way that makes it very easy to check their effects at a glance.

You can check out the free version and see for yourself [1].

Edit: Another thing to keep in mind is that when the OSR first started you couldn't get print-on-demand versions of old rule books from Wizards. If you wanted to play with something like BECMI you had to hunt for the box sets or the Rules Cyclopedia on eBay or in Half-Price Books, or get pirated PDFs. OSR games provided an alternative.

I've heard that a few times, but it never made sense to me why that didn't go in the other direction - if the Europeans had diseases the native americans didn't have immunity to shouldn't the native americans have diseases the europeans didn't have immunity to as well? Seems like that should have just balanced out.

The title brought to mind the Helios64 NAS, an unfortunately dead project from a few years ago I followed for a while in the hope it would become widely available. It had a small UPS inside; putting Lithium cells near hard drives is not the best idea in my opinion, but the platform was quite neat nonetheless.

This issue will never get the attention it needs because both sides are more interested in politicizing it then actually fixing it. Meanwhile, real people are caught in the middle and literally dying.
I think the reason lights are on a separate circuit is that you don't want the lights to go out when a circuit breaker trips. That may be in the code, but I'm not sure.

Cool game. As a red-green colorblind person I am unable to play it, unfortunately. I suggest you use red and greens on opposite ends of the color intensity spectrum.
I don't think the rules have changed in spirit (especially in 5e) but the mindset has. Basic D&D was very ridig if you followed the rules (like a video game, with codified turns, see "Sequence of play" in B/X https://i.4pcdn.org/tg/1509982170193.pdf). AD&D already had a rule for everything. But the mindset was DM were loosely following the rules apart from character tables and were making their own house rules for everything. Everybody had a different understanding, sometimes were young, and there was no internet to check if it was correct, as long as it was fun to play.
> being fairly close to the minimum speed that was considered satisfactory for motion.

Basically that: It's a repeated and extremely common misunderstanding of the actual claim, that 24fps is right about the threshold between interpreting a series of images as motion instead of a series of images.

A lot of people assume that once you see it as motion, there's nothing more that can be gained.
You could run a central line in the street, then connect to it like sewer and pull heat off of it that way.

It would be interesting to check the average public water temp as well, as long as the delta is closer than outdoor ambient air it would be more efficient than heat pumps. You could potentially treat public water like some GCHP use water wells.
I have a six year old laptop and regularly read ePubs on it (also my PocketBook e-reader) – it's fast enough. The initial page calculations can take a few seconds, but this can (and is) cached and done in the background. It's not that bad and "time to something useful on screen" is more than acceptable. Large PDFs also aren't exactly fast by the way.

Most e-readers are "low class hardware". ePubs work fine on most of them.

In terms of performance there isn't a clear winner here; both can be somewhat slow at times for large documents, but are also "fast enough" for the common case, even on older low-spec hardware.

I do think the general software ecosystem surrounding ePubs is not quite there yet, but that's mostly a matter of UX and "software that hadn't been written yet". As a format ePub is the clear winner for many (not all) scenarios. I struggle reading many PDFs because "zoom and scroll" that you mention is a right pain if you have to constantly do it (which you often do if you zoom text). Comfortably reader PDFs on my phone or e-reader is basically impossible.
Wouldn't any OSS license that requires this, then by definition not be open source?

Plus, when you're asking for a tax on say Apple, where they get to cough up multiple billions, then expect them to invest plenty in lobbying and lawyers.

In other words this plan falls into the category of "sure, that sounds great, but there is simply no path for this to become reality."

Was getting a new roof and seriously considered getting solar panels also. Spoke to several experts, read forums on ideal panels and inverters and so on. Got like 8 quotes, resized the system several times for optimal production vs consumption ratio. In every single calculation, the monthly loan repayment on solar panels was more than what I pay for electricity today. Even if I considered increasing energy costs, it was still going to cost more on a per month basis. The payoff period ranged from 12-20 years. I should note I live in an almost "anti-solar" state, my energy provider does not have net-metering and only pays back half for what we produce. I was told that a big portion of the cost was installation and DIY would be cheaper but heck I am not the guy who would climb on the roof.

I could have surely done it for the good of mother earth but financially it made no sense.
That's what I was going to comment (although it's closer to 30% than 15% these days), It's low tech and a fraction of the cost, for a swimming pool all you need is a pump and some black pipes really
LISP is postorder evaluation order of a tree. We can go further and more mind expansive than this!

The future I am trying to design is a language where traversal order is arbitrarily repetitive and arbitrary and corecursive and has term rewriting traversals.

I think algorithms are just reified traversal evaluation orders and joins - of algebra and mathematics.

I see very little value in developing via WSL unless you work in an organization that requires software that only runs natively on Windows (which is becoming a rarity). Personally I only have a Windows install for some games - everything else I do is on Linux, both for work and home.

Everything about Windows for software development is worse in my experience. From basics like text rendering to more complex things like managing toolchains and project dependencies. I've done a bit of work porting software from MacOS and Linux to Windows in order to support Windows users (because there are still many) but holy shit, it's a nightmare.

I don't know yet if WSL is a death rattle for software development on Windows, but it feels like one.

Metaprogramming will struggle to go mainstream. It's the way you shrink a 50,000 line program down to 1,500 lines that nobody can understand but the author. I absolutely love doing it and I think I could hand the code off to somebody and have them make small changes in the DSL code but if they have to change something in the implementation to extend the DSL all bets are off.

After all these years we still don't have macro assemblers as good as what the IBM 360 had even though we now have architectures that have enough registers that it would be reasonable to pass a register name as an argument to a macro like you could do in IBM Macro Assembler.

> How is it that productivity as a concept is "not complicated" but also extremely difficult to measure?

I should have been more specific really: it's difficult to measure for (most) programming. Productivity is work/time, and time is obviously easy to measure, but for programming the amount of work involved in a task is really really difficult to know because tasks vary so much.

If you're just building widgets in a factory and they're all exactly the same then productivity is trivial to measure because the work to produce each thing is the same.

But that's not the only reason it's near impossible to set up productivity experiments. Ideally you want two identical people to do the exact same task with only one variable differing (e.g. do they have an IDE or Notepad). But you can't do that. People vary hugely in skill, and you can't have the same person do the same task twice in a row because they'll obviously be quicker the second time.

> Which developer was the most productive?

Very difficult to know because - as I already said - measuring productivity is extremely difficult. Does that mean that productivity is somehow vague or difficult to define? No, absolutely not.

Also... I said it's extremely difficult. That doesn't mean you can't do it at all. Surely you have worked with people who are bad at their job and don't get anything done? Or maybe you're lucky enough to have worked with one or two 10x developers? (It's not a myth; you just might not have met any.)

No, but a bad decision at this point is going to be tricky to resolve due to the type of user that might end up using it.

The only people who might be influenced by this popup are people who don't know that other browsers are an option. Are these the people that is makes sense to drop them into a random browser, are they going to be able to make a good choice from this popup do you think?

I can pretty distinctly hear 18kHz sine waves and so can many of my friends, I don't think it's that rare.

If you actually weren't able to hear past 16kHz you wouldn't be able to hear the ringing caused by a good filter above 16kHz, and you wouldn't be able to tell a difference in the transients either.

> Developers can choose to adopt these new business terms, or stay on Apple’s existing terms. Developers must adopt the new business terms for EU apps to use the new capabilities for alternative distribution or alternative payment processing.

So you either choose US/Global Business Model (what we know today), or EU Business Model (what was announced today, with flexibility but high fees). You can distribute on the App Store either way.
> "Democrats" (Yeltsin's band of US loving nomenclature and friends) practically killed or dispersed just as many people as Stalin & company did.

It was your own mismanagement that reached such level by 1990 that the economy was unable to provide even food to the population, forcing people from all social classes to subsistence farming for survival.

The constant passive-aggressive snark towards the Americans is distasteful and ungrateful given how much they helped you then with food aid.

> There's a very significant number of monuments devoted to tragedies of Soviet period, in Russia.

Mostly from 1990s and early 2000s, before Putin began rehabilitation of Stalin and incorporation of Soviet legacy into modern Russia. The monuments are now vanishing at an accelerating pace and incidents like these have become common: https://sakhaday.ru/news/v-yakutske-snesli-pamyatnik-polskim...

> In short, stop trying to confront other people on their history and first confront yourself on your own history.

That's what Europe has done - confronted own history and learned from it, Germans in particular. They do not pretend that nothing happened between 1933 and 1945, far from it. Disagreements are now solved calmly in EU cooperation formats, which have brought unprecedented peace to Europe.

The peace is being violated by Russians, who keep trying to bring back history by sending tanks with hammer-and-sickle flags into foreign countries, to shoot at peaceful people living there.

When will you confront your history and present actions, learn from them, and become a normal country where people are not living in filth and despair?

It's worth noting that system does not apply to 2 million Israeli Arabs (nearly all of whom self-identify as "Palestinian" from an ethnic/national perspective) of the exact same race as the Palestinians in the occupied territories.

The overt driver of the system - and the one that is agreed to across the whole Jewish-Israeli population - is the security issue of a Palestinian population that has held since 1948 that they are still at war with Israel, will never accept a Jewish state in the region, and will one day drive the Jews into the sea. This belief is propped up by constant propaganda from other Arab states and UNRWA (which has defined itself to exist because of a Right of Return that applies to 750k Palestinians and their descendants in perpetuity, but doesn't apply to the 14 millions Indians & Pakistanis, 12 million Germans, or 2-3 million Poles & Ukrainians who were also displaced by ethnic partitions established in 1947-1948).

Israel shows every day that they are willing and able to live closely with the Palestinians who accept their right to exist and aren't trying to murder their families, without using apartheid-like systems of control. Israeli Arabs certainly face suspicion and unofficial day-to-day discrimination, but if you asked Israelis how they would feel about an equal two-state system where West Bank and Gaza were a sovereign nation populated by Palestinians who were like the Israeli Arabs, they would largely be on board. There would be friction for a while, but it would be tolerable for both states to survive and thrive without the security apparatus that needs to be in place right now.

There is no doubt that Netanyahu's current governing coalition is made up of racists and religious extremists who would NOT be okay with that. Many of those secretaries want to use security issues as a pretext to fully take over "greater Israel," and use the border wall as much to keep their actions there hidden from the Israeli public as they use it to keep Hamas and IJ terror attacks to a minimum. But the PA - for all its collaboration and security partnership with the IDF - still pays bounties to the families of suicide bombers. And the reason more moderate Palestinian leaders have never been able to really negotiate a settlement is that they would be immediately overthrown by a populace who never accepted 1948 as the end of a decades-long attempt to throw the Jews out of Palestine.

This has not been adjudicated in court, but I think it's difficult to claim that the current system is primarily an ethnic or racial one when it doesn't apply to the millions of Palestinians who are accepting of their neighbors. Even if it is often abused by racists.
It never held all that much. The 'progressive' movement used to support eugenics as far late as the 1960s in some places. And economic freedom used to be seen as a conservative value exclusively prior to the 1980s and 1990s, but today it has contributed to lifting billions of people out of poverty, and many on the "neo-liberal" left support it. More recently, the left is also slowly moving towards supporting a preference for skilled over unskilled immigration to protect vulnerable and marginalized citizens' jobs and reduce concerns over social frictions, something that used to only be a talking point for conservatives.

Consider that to enable such abuse, all it takes is to "other" another sentient person.
