That is a great example. And yes, if you're in an org where things are "tight" it gets much harder because people will assume the worst outcome is most likely. I've always been a fan of being honest with people, not everyone I've worked for or with shared that point of view. But being consistently honest helps when you're explaining things because it is more likely someone trust you enough to try the change you're proposing. Sometimes that means having the conversation of "Once we're done with this change, the thing you're currently doing won't need to be done. But since we want everyone to have a place after this change, these are the areas that will need help once the change is in place, and we're hoping you would help in one of them ..."

I had an engineer tell me once that the reason they wrote really obtuse code was because "when the layoffs come I'll be the only one who understands it so I won't get laid off!" They were quite pleased with that strategy. I pointed out that they would also never get promoted if their manager couldn't get anyone else to learn their code. This was something they hadn't really considered.
I prefer the term "moorean fact", but you are correct.
> I guess that women just aren’t so interested in porn as they are in companionship

Depends how you define porn. For example smut books are very popular among women, I think they are even the primary market for them. It is not that they are not interested in porn, they are just looking for a different type.

Note as well in reports women report using the AI boyfriend for sex as well ("Both Valenciano and Ramos say sex with their AIs is the best they’ve ever had." from https://www.thecut.com/article/ai-artificial-intelligence-ch...). They seem to also use the AI for sexual gratification, but they might not look for the same visual aspect and more as you say the emotional aspect.
One thing that I haven't out how to do is allowing unauthenticated Gitlab users to view deployments/environments for public projects.

Not only is the "deployments" tab missing (which isn't the _end_ of the world), but the environment (with the link to the instance) isn't shown in pull requests until the user logs in.

Does anyone know if this is possible? I couldn't find much in Gitlab's docs
[RocksDB](https://rocksdb.org/) isn’t a distributed storage system, fwiw. It’s an embedded KV engine similar to LevelDB, LMDB, or really sqlite (though that’s full SQL, not just KV)
The range or the spectrum is there and implied for anything in life. The question is: if you take porn free sexual behavior and you overlap watching porn on top of it does the resulting spectrum differ? How do you control the effect porn has on us vs the effect of all the other things we are, as a society, exposed to?

For me porn does not reframe expectations. You still end up fucking and you still end up having to treat the other person as a human being. As long as everyone is having a good time and everything is between consensual adult I'm good.

You are talking Agile.
Sure, confirmation bias exists, but you can compare with the alternatives.

E.g. a search engine can give you zero useful results, and you can fine tune your query and still get nothing after scrolling through pages of results (Do people really take the losses into account when using search engines?) I find prompt engineering with LLMs more useful because you get nudged in interesting directions, and even if you come away with no direct results, you have more of an idea of what you are looking for. Maybe lateral thinking is overrated.
This is like arguing with an astronomer about what a "metal" is. The colloquial definition of "rare earth element" when talking about industry and not chemistry generally means anything you mine that isn't an already-concentrated ore.
Most entrepreneurs I know, hate cats.
There are a lot of people in finance that realized money printing was essentially a risk free environment to lever up on all assets. The mechanics of interest rates are well known, and have been for hundreds of years.

During covid, again many of them realized it was a near risk free wealth generation opportunity. Many of them in NYC, with their primary address in the Bahamas. Wallstreet bets, and the general public, caught onto this only after the party was nearly over (late 2021).

Finance is notoriously quiet about all of this. I have personally met many 10 man trading shops in NYC making a consistent 10-50M a year by betting on the FED. They have no linkedin profile, no website, no public face. The common theme is many spent alot of time in mainstream high finance and attended world class universities.

The faces of major hedge funds you see on TV do not take risks like this (because they are playing a different game, shave 2%+ from the 10B in assets they manage), and so they downplay the certainty one could have about Bill Hwang style bets.
Going into finance/tech or blue collar jobs if you don't want to go into debt. Have you seen how much plumbers/electricians/handymen earn? You don't need a university degree to earn good money.

Yes, it's based on the same paper as hbase, IIRC.
Seems to have the unexamined assumption that the "steroid Olympics" will overtake all sport; that there will be no further interest in the exploits of the unenhanced, "natural" human athletes.

Embrace diversity: there's room enough for all us freaks, int there? We can have "special Olympics" without people amputating limbs to compete; we should be able to have "cyborg Olympics" for those that want powered grafts.
How do you draw the conclusion that the author can't explain what he means by moving fast? Just because it wasn't adequately explained for someone with your worldview and experience doesn't mean that it's bullshit. Other possibilities are that if you had a face-to-face conversation he could explain it to you, or that you lack the domain experience and context to understand it.

Personally as someone with 25 years web product engineering experience and working very closely with design at large companies, I can quibble with a lot of the details and phrasing, but the overall message makes a lot of sense, and I have personally witnessed the dysfunction of trying to evolve DLS elemtns at the same speed as day-to-day product design on more than one occasion.

A brilliant idea that would never make it through the legal department.

Somebody I worked with at TomTom had the brilliant idea of gamifying the driving experience with internet connected TomTom PNDs, by publishing a real-time Leaderboard on every single road on the map, so you could see the top ten speeds, and compete with other drivers for the high score! No matter where you were driving in the world, you could instantly see the top ten speeds of other TomTom users who drove down that same stretch of road, and put the pedal to the metal to claim or defend your own spot on the leaderboard!

My TomTomagotchi idea didn't go over well with TomTom legal either: they didn't want their PNDs getting depressed and dying if you didn't give them food, attention, and drive them around everywhere they wanted. But I was sure there's a revenue model having drive through Burger Kings and car washes pay for placements.
Why Chrome devs ruining bookmarks interface everyone already used to?
For last few months chrome devs surely been pushing some disgusting updates to UI. Among other rather mildly annoying changes that all can be described as "just add padding everywhere" there was one most useless one. They changed that small window that pops up when you hit star button to bookmark page. In the past it was quite useful right after creating bookmark you could easily choose folder, edit URL or hit remove if you done bookmark by mistake. Now Edit button hidden behind button that looks like link that opens folder selection and only there you can rewrite URL (which was insanely useful when you wanted to save some site but erase path to current page and GET parameters). Instead new Edit button takes you to another simplified version of old bookmark window but again without way to directly edit URL but at least Remove button present there (so now if you created bookmark by mistake it's two clicks instead of one to remove it).
I understand this is just my small rant and even other browsers like Firefox has same interface where you can't edit URL right away easily, but even on Firefox with it's user customizability I managed to add URL field that works just fine. The only thing I'm sincerely confused about is why they do this to us. Is someone asked for that so much? Is it ergonomic? Is it about accessibility? My experience with Chrome for last year looks like this: They made some downgrade -> You find out about it and search for ways to disable that downgrade -> You find some chrome://flags that does what you want -> They deprecate and then remove that flag with next updates. Maybe it's so called enshitiffication on purpose, maybe they try to push their new sidebar for some reason, I don't know. I'm just so disappointed with updates recently that wanted to rant about that somewhere and I've already sent tons of issues reports to chrome about it.
Improving public transportation is a far superior solution than forcing people to buy EV cars by outlawing gas engines. For the median income in the US, or person working minimum wage - all of this is pie-in-the-sky elite talk. EVs are essentially for rick folks to feel better about themselves.
It would be a bit of an apples-to-oranges comparison. FoundationDB is a distributed KV database that supports range queries. FASTER is an embedded KV store that only supports point lookups. The use cases for each are rather different.

Former Apollo for Reddit user and current but seldom old.reddit user here. My overall engagement at Reddit has dropped significantly since Apollo stopped. The bot traffic / posts are way up.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there wasn’t a revolt just before the IPO, lots of Redditors are still unhappy about the actions.
Its been quite a while since Microsoft decided to involve itself in the graphics pipeline with standards. Seems like they want it for the operating system for other reasons, maybe video decoding.
Ah, now it's clear. Some of the other long-winded responses unhinged my thought train into wondering if accounting uses some kind of atypical or asymmetrical equation system. So, no; it's an equation, and it's simple.
One confounding factor that I didn't see pointed out in the paper was the fact that Facebook changed over the years; old school Facebook was very much centered around interactions with friends, while the feed eventually started to have more news and much less friend-related activity.
It’s well known that TG infection increases risky behavior. So I’m not the least bit surprised that there’s a correlation with entrepreneurship. Or what did you mean?
Yes and the point is that words have meaning and various words are loaded and triggering.

Whenever you are trying to measure change you need to control for all the things that are happening.

I think framing it as "may change" is closer to what you maybe intended but I'm just guessing.

Not at all, I don't think Keller claims he was a founder.
Is there any reason why we cannot put a pipewire-with-aac build in the nonfree repository that replaces the default pipewire build using the Alternatives system?

Or perhaps pipewire could ldopen() libfaac as required.

Edit: the issue is social, not technical—it’s not desirable to have an easy way to “slot in” a nonfree aac because of patent disputes
From my armchair, I wonder if these published academics considered that the comfort of a cat also increases risk tolerance?

BTW The EMyth, though on lifestyle not startup businesses, claimed that a major motivation of entrepreneurs is autonomy (i.e. no boss)
Being not able to focus will cause you to jump from one thing to the next.

"Oh let me gather wood"
10 minutes later
"Oh look! I found flowers"
10 minutes later
"Those stones look amazing… what could we possibly do with them?"
10 minutes later
"Its getting cold. where is the wood"

Isolated this may seem like a disadvantage. But the negative consequences are reduced when one is acting in a bigger group. And this jumping from topic to topic make the person become a generalist which can be useful.
You completely misrepresent me in your comments and you have really bad attitude.

> The fraction of people in EU countries who just want to exist on social welfare and have no aspirations is miniscule.

You insinuate that I was talking about people living of welfare which is absolutely not within the "subsistence" definition. That would be more akin to a rent-seeker.

Also, I did not make any political statement. I merely setup a taxonomy: That of subsistence people vs. aspirational people and proposed that EU is better suited for subsistence people while the US is better suited for aspiration people.

That is not at all controversial.

Alaska was sold cause Russian Empire couldn't hold the land and eventually would've lost it.

The islands north to Japan are important cause the access from sea ports to the ocean in winter. Plus, if they were Japanese, they'd have American bases there and there wouldn't be a way for the submarines to leave ports without being tracked.
> even in watch stores they're most of the times set at random hours

I can't imagine the proprietor showing, rather decisively, which of his products drift. Especially considering half the time, you can't tell how long ago it was set (within the current DST season or not), and so how much it drifts per day

Inferno and Android are two good examples on how to do it, with a clear separation on the low level stuff, and more developer friendly and safer userspace.

Not the only examples, there are plenty of other systems following similar approaches.
Evaporative cooling only works in low humidity environments, in which sweating is also effective, and raise the indoor relative humidity to 100%. Also you need water and lots of it, the more water you can evaporate the better. Evaporative coolers IMO are less effective than open ventilation and shade.
Ok sure, semantics aside, and not that i've seen Fly's take-home challenges, but how is it actually meaningfully different from zoom/in-person interviews in terms of being totally synthetic? Unless you're hiring for a junior role, it seems like isolated, pre-defined task is trivial part of the job...

I like your "work day" challenge though.
In my experience, following the advice given in the second paragraph is a good way to end up with both unmaintainable software and unhappy users. Having a design system upfront encourages consistency in visual and interaction design, and tends to nudge towards a consistent implementation. Consistent implementation is usually easier to iterate on, and tends to remain consistent with lower effort in the face of changing requirements.

I've used products and worked on projects that were built using the "pure" iterative approach they're espousing. You can always tell, and it's never been positive.
Nope! A 4 degrees average rise means massive chaos of climate ups and downs, no one is going to be happy with that. Also note that extreme North/South location do not get good sunshine for plant growth, it's too low on the horizon, even if the temperatures are balmy...
Yeah that's a great start! And at the same time, the social network, i.e. friend network of people changes. In terms of size, composition, people are moving as cohorts, but adoption is very different across age brackets, and there will be an age drift in adoption as the social network grows ... so there are just a ton of very biasing drifts going on.
This trader has a long history of making huge returns. He turned a 'few hundred k' into tens of millions of dollars since 2023, going by his post history. I think this is the clearest refutation of the strongest version of the EMH and is demonstrative of true trading skill.

It's possible that someone who has a really high IQ , hence by possessing superior pattern recognition, can decode the signal from the noise in the market and profit huge, as this individual had done. Same for the success of Renaissance Technologies, which is staffed by math and physics doctorates.
Thinking of Emacs simply as "an editor" is a misunderstanding that obscures its true nature and power. At its core, Emacs is an environment for seamlessly integrating a wide variety of tasks—text editing, shell command execution, software development, document formatting, and even games. The key ingredient enabling this amalgamation of features is Lisp, and most people when trying to talk about, learn, or understand Emacs often miss that point entirely.

Lisp is one of the oldest high-level PLs that is still very much in use today. Its longevity and vitality itself speaks volumes. While most computer languages are defined in terms of operations and structures specified in an arbitrarily chosen syntax, Lisp is fundamentally built on the simple structure of symbolic expressions. In other word, Lisp can be seen as 'the DNA' of programming languages.

From a philosophical viewpoint, Lisp embodies the concept of recursion. Recursion, philosophically, is a pattern that self-replicates, a principle we see in nature in things such as fractals, the Fibonacci sequence, and the structure of galaxies. In other words, Lisp encapsulates the concept of "everything is a subset of itself", reflecting the fractal nature of reality.

From a poetic point of view, Lisp is fluid, expressive and malleable. It allows metaprogramming, where programs can be designed to read, generate, analyze or transform other programs, and even modify themselves while running. This can lead to more concise, productive, and higher-level coding. In a sense, this reflects the poetic concepts of reflexivity, versatility and continuous evolution.

Lisp is famed for embodying the essence of simplicity. It's the epitome of elegance expressed through minimalism. Its design philosophy espouses the principle of composing complex operations from a smaller set of primitives. As T.S. Eliot once said, “When forced to work within a strict framework, the imagination is taxed to its utmost and will produce its richest ideas.”

The survival of Emacs is tied to the survival of Lisp, and Lisp is far from being obsolete. Its concepts are deep-seated in the world of programming and have shaped many modern languages. Just as Latin continues to live and breathe through its daughter languages and its impact across sciences, Lisp continues to pervade the technological universe due to its profound and timeless concepts.

Learn some Lisp, and maybe you'll realize what makes Emacs such a powerful, incredible, and extensible tool and why it is timeless.
Yes. In many situations that has resulted in me having additional conversations with the folks who are asking for the change to be clear about headcount goals.

If they are trying to reduce staff (usually coded as 'increase operational efficiency') I want them to be up front about that in their messaging because I will be up front with that with the people who will feel that impact. It is often possible to actually increase efficiency without laying anyone off, to make sure that senior staff understands that you need to have a common way of evaluating efficiency (what's the baseline, what's the goal, what are the indicators, Etc.) because getting more done with the same people is often better than laying people off because of the latent effect of loosing institutional memory about things.
Not a chemist, but I think trying to do chemistry without modeling quantum effects is like trying to do physics without math. The latter is necessary to express the former.
Pretty sure they just confuse cause and effect xD
It’s hard to expect systemic reform by telling the individual to change while allowing the companies to continue as they are.

You don’t need proper cognition to identify that the answer is not stored in source data. Your conception of the model is incomplete as is easily demonstrable by testing such cases now. Chat gpt does just fine on your simpsons test.

You, however, have made up an answer of how something works that you don’t actually know despite your cognition
