in my experience its a little more like "maximise how much the largest shareholders' representatives will give me a big grin and tell me about their summer vacation plans and act all friendly with me"

occasionally with a more cynical view towards getting them to pay me personally more money.

(where "me" here means specifically the CEO and to a lesser extent the C-Suite. Variations and echoes of this incentive echo downwards where these people then take on the role of the important shareholders)

This correlates somewhat with actually maximising shareholder value, but not that exactly. For example, short term profits are good, losses can be fine if you have a good story about why its good that key shareholders believe, etc.
You need to read the paragraph prior to the quote. He is talking about which one of field and mechanical stress is more "fundamental" or less "direct". If one measure the force exerted by electric field using a unit charge, one measures the field by measuring the mechanical stress first.

Of course, the context matters. Often if one compares potential and field, field would be the one directly measured. It is just semantics really.
Looks like an astroturf campaign, with essentially the same story popping up around the country.

Pretty much any switch/case or multipronged if is dispatch in disguise. Sometimes the switch/case/if is the right choice, sometimes it's making the code more convoluted. Once you step up a degree in complexity, you get e.g. lookup tables and class hierarchies to emulate more dynamic dispatch. Complex dispatch is all over the place in most large systems.

Ruby is "an offender" in this to you because you hate the pattern that untangles the huge unholy mess that less dynamic languages use instead. E.g. hacky workarounds like whole class hierarchies or (marginally better) maps from values you dispatch on to first order functions/closures

I have worked in over a dozen languages, and I've never seen a medium to large sized project where some form of dispatch mechanism hasn't been part of the codebase somewhere.

And I'll take the simplicity of dynamic dispatch over hand rolling verbose mappings any day.

> All the most heinous bugs I've had to deal with in my life were about magic in ruby. I've worked in 3 of the biggest rails codebases in the world, and in the end we had build checks to deny code with magic.

I have no like for Rails, it encourages a lot of awful shit, but I also find this really curious, because the backtraces will clearly indicate you've passed through method_missing, you can breakpoint requests and attach remote debuggers to in flight requests, and execute code in-context in those requests.

If that's too complex, sure, maybe a large Rails code base isn't right for you. I don't want to work on Rails codebases either, but because of Rails, not Ruby, nor because the dynamism makes it any harder to debug.

> Software code should be optmised for reading and debugging, not looking nice for first time writes.

I agree,and it's exactly why I love Ruby.
And everything should be... "quantizable"?

https://www.energy.gov/science/doe-explainsquantum-mechanics
I feel that a lot of people here are confusing the math and "reality".

You're definitely correct about the math, i.e. the systems that we humans have invented to model reality. But I guess most of us don't really care about what mathematical model scientists like to use (especially not whether they're "exotic" or not), but rather what reality could be like.

And the quantum properties of QM do seem to suggest that there's some sort of fundamental discreteness in reality. And it seems to run contrary to the resolute claims that reality must be continuous as if it were a proven fact. What I understand is that the math most commonly used by scientists is definitely continuous, but whatever we can measure seems to have some kind of planck limitation.

So are we talking about empirical science or science-flavored theology here? Have we actually found empirical evidence or proven the continuousness of space/time?

I have contributed and improved more than a few FOSS pieces of software that I used when I thought it could use improvement or a bug fix, or even just documentation of the bug. FOSS isn't a company, and a huge portion of contributors aren't paid a dime. It bothers me when people criticize with vehemence against the developers, where I express my opinion is on the nature of belligerent complaints vs helpful ones. Have a nice day.
GNOME dev team (and by extension GTK) probably don't care that much, iirc most of them use expensive macbooks so many issues get ignored because it "Works on my machine" (e.g. several issues with font rendering that don't affect retina displays)

I always had to change tyres on gas-powered cars after 30,000 km, they are completely worn by then.
Currently through 13k on my Tesla and while there's some visible wear i'm sure they will last at least about 25k or maybe full 30k.

I joined a friend's early stage company. We weren't close friends, but we'd known each other for a long time and saw each other socially. He also had a co-founder I'd met once or twice.

It was nice to have the co-founder in the mix because that was more of a pure business relationship. I remember the co-founder making a comment about how I'd need to perform and that felt okay. If my friend had said it, it would have stung a bit.

I was nervous, and it was a big commitment for them, so we stepped into it slowly. I contracted for them for a few months before joining full time. That helped alleviate worries on both sides, I think, because I saw how they operated and they saw the work I did.

It worked out well, in the end. They got some great work out of me, I got paid well and had a lot of trust and autonomy.

> However, when installing Arch, I resolved each installation error with the help of the wiki

The Arch wiki is amazing even if you're not running Arch at all. In 25+ years of using Linux I've never used Arch and yet the Arch wiki is really a treasure trove. I regularly use it even though I'm running Debian (and Devuan too).
Ah, right. Does not sound too complicated, but is an entirely seperated render path. And apparently now supported? But I have never seen it put to use.

"Give a man a razor blade, he will shave his beard. Give a kid a razor blade and he will cut his fingers"

I did help people with their code base.
I did provide value.

But getting 9k a month and not knowing what it meant, was my biggest mistake.

No one prepared me for that.

Here is what I learned:

1. Not learning beyond what I was instructed to work on
2. Not being aware of my ongoing personal transformations
3. Being financially illiterate
4. You cant just wake up and expect things to go your way

You're comparing "reality where accident happened" to "an alternate reality where everything is exactly the same but the accident did not happen" and this is not a sensible comparison.

The reality we have produced the accident. You can't have that reality and have it not produce the accident, because it was set up to produce the accident. Proof: it produced the accident.

To avoid the accident, you need an alternative reality that is sufficiently different so as not to produce the accident, and some of those differences may well have resulted in lower profit overall.

(You may argue that you're able to set up an alternate reality that does not produce the accident and results in higher profit overall – that's a completely different argument, but it also requires you to specify some more details to make it a falsifiable hypothesis. Without those details we can not guarantee a higher profit in that alternate reality.)
Yep, the couple quoted at the start of the article "started noticing wear on the tires" at 5k. And then the 7k quote is also from them - note that it doesn't say they actually had to replace at 7k.
> My computer is just a tool for getting things done - it’s not an expression of my personality.

And this is one of the things that makes me a little wistful as I get older. My computers are like my cars. I remember my first ones, the quest for a bargain or the right parts, and each had its own personality.

Now, they're all blandly similar and are means to an end. Sure, they're better by all objective measures, but I don't have the time to relentless customize them to my liking and imprint them with my personality.
Ironically, the savings they get from physical manufacturing they probably lose on expensive developers, lol.
Everytime I read about that part of the history I feel I missed the brightest fire in the valley. There are fires nowadays too but none of them keeps the "personal" prefix.
Every 30,000km seems really often to become completely worn
So you propose no idea of "minimal set". If a liability is proposed, it has to be reasonably binary state: compliant/non-compliant.

Just like every time, there is no concrete proposal what constitute "minimal set". That's like "make education better", with no concrete plan. We can agree on goal, but on on the method.
It seems super complicated to me :-) cool idea though
If that's the motive here, then why not start with limiting guns?
I would not be surprised if tires wear faster on a vehicle that weighs ~40% more. Another thing to consider is road damage, which is famously proportional to the weight to the power of four. [1]

If you drive like a maniac then you can eat up your tires way faster than in an ICE vehicle. It is not the norm though from what I understand.

That seems incredibly fast, tires should last a lot longer than that.
"transform into each other" would be more appropriate. The gauge choice you mentioned is not totally wrong. The gauge freedom can be used to set the electric field to zero, but only once at a single point.
However it happens, it still attaches a legal & financial cost to lazy security practices. And makes it actually in companies' best interest to do security auditing. I think that would be a net win for computer security - and consumers everywhere.

Other animals don't have our advanced language. In fact it is the lack of language transmission that keeps them down. What I am arguing is that we're pretty limited individually, only together, and with plenty of time, do we get so smart.

LLMs learning from the same text and gaining human like capabilities shows just how much of intelligence is crystalized in culture. If it works without brains, then brains were not the essential ingredient.

Humans without culture would need 10,000 years or more to recover, and have to pay the same price as the first time around. Culture is smarter than us.
The expected lifetime of tires is 100k km, I thought.
I've been seeing a lot of anti-electric stories recently, even here. A lot about how Hertz has been selling their electric cars (mostly unrelated to them being electric, but because they see a lot of scrapes and scrapes are costlier for them to fix on the electrics they have), about how the market is cooling down, etc.

Seems like some interests are threatened by the prevalence of electric cars.
Based on the descriptions, I believe it's designed to dupe anyone with far more dollars than sense.

The copy doesn't even make sense. It benefits most from a drive with an OS installed on it? What if the drive just has data?

Also, how does a cable affect image quality? (perhaps this is a failed attempt to refer to "imaging" in an audio)
They do wear faster on EVs but sub 10k miles is definitely not typical. This article is definitely written to grab attention with that 7k figure in the headline and then immediately starts walking that back.
It's very much worth discussing architecture since, if Mamba or Based end up working as good as Transformers, a lot of current problems related to quadratic scaling are solved.
I would disagree on one hand as mechanisms can and shall inevitably outperform human thought capacity at some scale.

And agree on another, the human mind is an efficient quantum computer (I know …) which uses constructive and destructive interference for some holographic rendering rather than a composition of linear conditional logic.

Do not let the confines of human ignorance set the horizon for Truth!

Universal rejection sounds like dogma, not science.
I was an FB infra engineer in 2010. It's not accurate, there was already a "retro" SEV analysis process with a formal meeting run by Mike Schroepfer, who was then Director of Engineering. I attended many of them. He is a genuinely kind person who wouldn't have said anything so passive-aggressive. Also, many engineers broke the site at one time or another. I agree this is just a mutation of the Watson quote.

The only time I ever saw an engineer get roasted in the meeting was when they broke the site via some poor engineering (it happens), acknowledged the problem (great), promised to fix it, then the site went down two weeks later for the same reason (not great but it happens) and they tried to weasel out of responsibility by lying. Unfortunately for them there were a bunch of smart people in the room who saw right through it.
"clearly politically motivated." - interesting, how so?

Most of the people I talked about it see his forgeries as "simple" work for awards/compliments: Everything he wrote/reported seemed believable, because it was in range/sync with events/storys/news that actually happened.

Again, I'd love to know how to identify his/the political motivation.

From the blog post:

If your 1200 × 800 window is set to be scaled to 125 %, with the unified renderers, we will use a framebuffer of size 1500 × 1000 for it, instead of letting the compositor downscale a 2400 × 1600 image.

The explanation is a bit confusing to me. I think they are saying that a window that should be drawn as 1500 x 1000 pixels on the screen because of 125% scaling would have 1200 x 800 pixels in application pixels. Since OpenGL and Vulcan use floats to render, they might as well render directly into a buffer that can be rendered 1:1 on the screen by transforming the coordinates in the instructions.

If that's what they are doing, that sounds like sanity finally.
People have different ways of expressing passion. I like Go a lot, but most of the time I'll say that it "just works" or "gets out of the way". But I have a real passion for the way Go was made for software engineering rather than programming. I wouldn't describe Go as elegant, and not as brutalist either. It kind of feels like home to me. We don't have an equivalent to that Exceptional Creatures website, which I find beautiful. But we have my favorite technical writing ever. It's always a joy to read something written by Rob Pike, Ian Lance Taylor, Alan Donovan, Russ Cox, and lots of others.

Continuity just hides the ball.

You say you can't comprehend how something can move from 1 to 2 discretely.
But the paradoxical notion of infinite continuous change has been known since antiquity. It's faith either way.

Discrete doesn't mean state changes are wholly globally arbitrary. Imagine a graph with nodes and edges, a state machine as computer sciences call it. I think it's easy to agree that the universe could be parsed by a regex ;-)
Heck, imagine an integer on the number line that can go up or down.

Worlfram has written a ton about this. Despite all his issues, his math is solid. (Which is not to say his physics is true.)

There is PixiJS, a 2D web graphic engine. It is really, really fast. I can imagine something like this, as the base.
I can confirm faster wear but not every 7k miles. I've worked for a tire OEM before and we've been tracking tire usage on Teslas for a while. It's due to the combination of higher loads and torque

Every time someone says "for performance reasons" as a justification for wontfixing a security issue a million badguys rub their hands with glee.

If you can't do previews in a way that respects access permissions you shouldn't do them at all. This isn't a feature that is essential whereas security really is.

Moreover you really can't possibly have a security scheme that relies on every user being aware of something. Someone will either not know or will know but forget or make a mistake. Systems should be robust enough to accomodate usage by actual humans.

FWIW you can still get Teletext over MPEG TS (DVB or IPTV), it's just already de-modulated, but even error correction bits are still there (and are useless).

In France most IPTV operators still use teletext for live subtitling because it eats much less bandwidth than dvbsub

The stamp doesn't touch the silicon or any other solid material, it hovers just above.

It only touches a liquid photo-resist that is spread on the wafer. The stamp is transparent, which allows UV light to shine though and exposes the photo-resist, which solidifies into a mask matching the stamp.

My thoughts exactly. My tires have lasted way longer - and I drive about the same as I would in a gas-powered car. If you're tapping all your acceleration, your eMPG is lower, and your tires will naturally wear out quickly. It's not some weird, unexplainable thing, as this article suggests.
That's a great hobby you have! Note though that there might be something spurious about your methodology of measuring spuriousness...

How come some professions are declared "high risk of fraud" by banks, insurance, accounting firms?
Your statement implies that there is an obvious truth that fraud is equally distributed among professions.
Nothing in reality subscribe to this blank statement.

For something that's Atlas Obscura worthy, it's been a few centuries that people have been making ranking of fraud level by trade. There's a book, whose name I can't remember, that explained how much you should expect to be swindled by the baker, the windmill guy, etc. It explained some of the common tricks each profession would use, how widespread the tricks would be, and therefore do an estimate on the most dishonest professions.

Printers often want pdf or postscript. Or if not some other format that isn't a regular GPU supported thing. Games rarely support printing, the main use is take a screenshot which uses the OS not the game engine, which is great for games. However if you are writing something where printing is important you want more control over the output than a screenshot can give (printers tend to be much higher resolution, but you have to deal with paper size - two things that should be passed back to the application as you can often make adjustments to better use show things when you know those limits - there are other compromises in printing too that may matter)
