I wonder if there might be a bit of switching choreography required, if a unit in the middle of a train dies. And what if an axle jumps the rails ? What does rerailing look like ?

I know these are all solved issues for railroads, but I wonder if tunnels and lack of lateral access by heavy equipment makes a difference.
And "circuit" in the US is about region, not hierarchy. California has a hierarchy of federal courts and as 9th circuit, they are allowed to rule differently from the hierarchies of federal courts in Texas (in the 5th circuit) or Colorado (in the 10th). They don't have to but they can.

At some point, if the US Supreme Court steps in (which they don't have to), one reasoning gets picked (or yet another one cooked up) which then stands for all regions and the courts are then strongly dissuaded from screwing with it any further.
I guess this is why worker-coop would never really take off. Most people are not in position to be paid in possible future profit rather than direct compensation. There's also nothing stopping employees at a public company to convert their entire salary into stock but not many do that either.

Fair point about the ethics angle. I guess. Personally I think it's morally fine (clearly a win-win for him and society) but it does look like coercion and there's a case for avoiding "even the appearance of evil"...
That's a good way of looking at it. The "unnoticeable" part is where more can be teased out:

That is, to expect a specification for the desired S/N (signal-to-noise) ratio and bandwidth, and/or bit rate at which the downstream algorithm is expected to work. This doesn't have to be a perfect estimate/evaluation/measurement, but it helps to get the ballpark amount of computation power, delay, etc. needed to actually make the system work. All too often I see people react to a noisy signal, by "putting a filter on it," without knowing how much attenuation/gain/phase shift, etc. are actually needed to make the system work acceptably.

E.g. You don't want to spend too long designing the perfect filter... And you want to know if there's any hope at all cleaning up the signal to make use of it!

Good luck with your filtering projects!

Market of Skills – An Exercise to Build a Strong Team
They are just employees on some level, but they are also typically owners with a lot of risk on the table themselves. Even if they come in with what would be “a lot” of money to most of us, it can’t compete with investment capital.

We build energy plants with investor money as an example. They don’t invest in us, but into the projects we run, so it’s a little bit different than having someone invest in us (but I’ll get to that). We don’t solely build a power plant with investor money though, we build it with a mix of investor money, loans and our own money, and that last bit just got a whole lot larger (meaning we can do much larger projects) with private equity investing into us directly. So now instead of doing a tiny mom-and-pops sort of solar plant, we can build some of the largest solar plants in the world. The payout on the other side isn’t linear either, there is much, much, more money in a single large plant than in a hundred tiny plants. Especially when you sell the product a few years after its completion.

In the current world, maybe it would’ve been better to not take private equity on board, but at the time it was done, nobody knew Putin would invade, that the global supply lines and manufacturing power would never recover from covid, or, that interest rates would go above 15% in countries where they were below 1%. Everyone knew the low interest rates wouldn’t stay, but we sure didn’t expect them to go so far above 8%.

Anyway, even if the world hadn’t gone to shit, our company would still have been 10-20 people and not in the hundreds if we hadn’t acquired the massive amount of funds. Since while our founders are rather rich, they aren’t that rich, and this would’ve limited the company growth to such a significant degree that even two years of economic turmoil has us at a level we would’ve likely never reached. It’s not all gloom and doom either, people still need power after all.

So you’re both right and wrong, founders sort of become employees, but not really. How much they lean toward the employee “title” typically depends on their deals.
Because there aren't that few. I'd need to revisit some of it really, but even in the late 90s, when I was doing a custom PS major, we were using comparatively larger models for conflict analysis, like the "Correlates of War" project, which were coded well enough to do some rough but statistically useful runs with...as an undergraduate back then it felt like something really useful to compliment/challenge/reconcile with the more common case study format prevalent in the field.

"nobody had anything near as convenient as the Osborne 1."

I had/still have an Osbourne 1 and would occasionally lug it from home to work. At almost 25 lbs it was a workout. 10 minute walk to the Seabus and then another almost 10 min walk to the office in downtown Vancouver.

I implemented a threaded interpreter [0] on it where the source was spread over 3 floppies. To assemble it I ran the 3 floppies through a small basic program that stripped all the comments out wrote it to a single floppy.

In the office it was occasionally referred to as 'the nose burn' since the 5" screen was rather small and some had to get close to the screen to read it.

It was sufficient to write resumes for myself and a sibling.

Not too familiar with this specific sector, but I can see two reasons why this could be more than nothing

1. If the evaluator is well established it's likely companies would be negatively impacted if they get lower scores even if it just means lower sales rather than an outright ban

2. It seems that while Euro NCAP is not a regulator it is pretty involved with national agencies, so this might be a signal that things are starting to move towards official rules. Of the "self-regulate or you will be regulated" variety
Expert systems probably.

> "Can I see the cap table?" - "Can I see the terms of the investors?"

These questions should become so normalized that founders don’t bat an eye at it. If I am an early employee, we are partners. Wanting to know my percentage and the company’s liabilities before I sign is not unreasonable. I also want to hear you talk convincingly about your plans for future investment.

Apollo 14 had a piece of loose solder in the button triggering abort-to-orbit, so it occassionally triggered itself. This wasn't a problem en route to the moon, but the second the descent phase started it would have been a Poisson-timed bomb that would prevent the landing.

There was a bit of memory that could be set to ignore the state of the abort button (this bit was the reason the abort sequence wasn't triggered en route). The problem was this ignore bit was reset by the landing sequence (to allow aborting once landing started), and they did not believe the astronauts would be quick enough to set the bit again before the button shorted out and triggered the abort.

(Ignoring the abort button was fine because an abort could be triggered in the computer instead. Takes a little longer but was determined a better option than scrapping the mission.)

Don Eyles came up with a clever hack. Setting the program state to 71 ("abort in progress") happened to both allow descent to start and prevented the abort button from being effective. So this program state was keyed in just before descent.

The drawback was that it obviously put the computer in an invalid state so some things were not scheduled correctly but Eyles and colleages had figured out which things and the astronauts could start those processes manually.

Then once the computer was in a reasonable state again the ignore abort bit could be set and the program mode set correctly and it was as if nothing had happened.

If your contract with your energy company says they will buy enough wind/solar/whatever to cover your consumption, you can say you support that. But when it comes to how much, I think basically you can take “credit” for pushing the energy mix a little in the direction of your choice, but you can’t say your energy usage is all fossils or fossil free or whatever and feel all smug about it.

Clear (mostly one-way) data binding is definitely one of React’s strengths.

It appears that Puter handles templating with a pattern like:

let h = ``
h += `<div>${exampleContent}</div>`
h += `<div>${moreExampleContent}</div>`
$(targetEl).append(h)

And handles events in the traditional way:

$(targetEl).on('click', function () { /* do stuff */ });

Searching for “React” or “jQuery” in this thread, there are several other conversations with thoughtful comments about pros and cons. One curious tidbit that I learned is that Visual Studio Code doesn’t use a framework either and, like Puter, updates the DOM directly.

I think that the idea is that if you need (operative word) to buy one dollar for two dollars (not exactly the scenario, but imo the analogy works), then your business probably sucks. This is true more often than it is false. Basically, you're betting the one dollar will turn into 2+ dollars, but by that point the business model should've already been proven.
> Is someone forcing you to drive a Tesla?

The same argument can be made about other products too but it only distracts from the real problem.

Bad practises and products do stick around regardless of their actual usefulness and benefits.

For example take headphone jack. Nobody forced anyone to buy an Apple phone without a headphone jack, yet it is a challenge now to find a good premium/mid-range phone with a headphone jack. Other OEMs are simply copying Apple and people too get along with the new trend.

The same is happening with touch controls too. Once a popular desirable brand introduces an (anti)feature, its competitors misunderstand the feature as a contributing factor for its desirability and blindly copy it without getting into actual merits.

> perfectly fine sitting in on a meeting with the actual professional sales person and answer technical questions the client may have

Fair enough. How do you think the salesperson should initiate meeting requests with you?

From the salesperson's perspective, if he's got the client on the phone, and the client asks a question that the salesperson doesn't know how to answer, it's much better for him if he can say "one moment, let me loop in the engineer", tap you on the shoulder, and bring you into the call while it's on-going. Being able to do this sort of thing can help close sales loops much faster. Every follow-up call that needs to be scheduled reduces the chances of closing the sale; it's best not to need to schedule follow-up calls.

Now, the disruption is, to put it kindly, not ideal from an engineering perspective. Still, the impulse from the salesperson remains. If you get a private office, a "naive good" salesperson would still, in the middle of the sales call, get up and knock on your door, cell phone in hand, and ask if you can join the call. Private offices vs. open offices is irrelevant to the matter at hand. As the engineer, you still need to be the one to set boundaries and say listen, I need space to concentrate and not be disturbed, if the client has a question then you need to schedule a follow-up call. A workplace you like will respect your boundaries; a workplace you don't will expect you to be available to talk to the salesperson whenever it darn well pleases them because Revenue Is King.
Partly it’s just our beloved overthinking and rationalization of it. When I needed a graph to repesent and edit a structure of supply contracts, I just stored {who, to-who[]} and loaded these arrays into a graph library written in js. Performance, formats didn’t matter because there’s only so much contracts, 5-20 per single graph. If there was no graph library, that would suck, and no amount of rationalization would change that. Complexity of the area never offsets the value of having at least something useful in it.

I think your specific question can be answered by this video. It explains how all branching was removed by refactoring an imperative-style function into functional-style. The original code is on the top, the refactored code is on the bottom: https://youtu.be/GyYME8btMHE?t=1473

Besides being shorter and easier to reason about, functional-style can be easier to test because there are fewer logical paths to test (statement/condition/branch/etc coverage).

Of course, it's still totally possible to write bad code in a functional-style!

Some little advantages of creating arrays in functional-style TS (vs declaring an empty array [] and filling it imperatively with `push()`):

- TS can autumatically infer the type of the array; no need to explicity type.

- Can declare the array as const/readonly if it doesn't change

The OP question was at the code-level, the small scale. However FP can be used at both the large and small scales. (And via traditional "non-functional", "inperative" languages.) "Functional programming" is a paradigm and way of thinking; not just a programming language.

In fact, many of the good parts of FP have been borrowed by non-FP languages to the point people don't consider them "functional programming" anymore[0]. (Like JS `.map()` and `.reduce()`. Even Excel macros now support first-class lambda functions[1].)

Another major pillar of FP is immutability (functional purity). Actually Grokking Simplicity[2] states it most elegantly: it's not about avoiding mutation because "mutation is bad." In fact, mutation is usually the desired result, but care must be taken because mutation depends on when and how many times it's called.

So good functional programming isn't about avoiding impure functions; instead it's about giving extra care to them. After all, the purpose of all software is to cause some type of mutation/effect (flip pixels on a screen, save bits to storage, send email, etc). Impure functions like these depend on the time they are called, so they are the most difficult to get right.

In general, I think these are the main promises of functional programming:

1. Program design/code that is easier to reason about/debug.

2. Programs that are shorter, yet more descriptive.

3. Programs that are more performant.

4. Programs that can be easily parallelized.

I wrote a whole article expanding on this: https://blog.leftium.com/2023/04/more-performant-testable-co...

Please explain your reasoning about the word campus. You seem to think it's obvious but I'm not seeing it.

A campus is a group of buildings and land that are part of one institution. I've been in multiple campuses that have power plants (and where the primary purpose of the campus is not generating power).

The idea of a datacenter campus that makes its own power is a reasonable one.
I am not sure most people would notice 24 to 30 fps increase, but let’s say it’s 60 fps.

You may be wrong in thinking they are confused. To paraphrase, the audience is always right. If they are confused, then you’ve failed.

As I wrote above, what we see is anchored to our previous experience and cultural context. The ways it is broken inevitably attract attention to themselves and detract from the story, at least in the beginning, so you have to do it carefully and generally avoid breaking expectations unless that serves to achieve the desired effect. Otherwise you’d just be self-gratifying and compromise the message, making it subordinate to the medium.

By the way, breaking these expectations can go both ways. You can go higher fps just as well as you can go lower. Once you veer off the default, which way you go is not automatically better than the other; it all depends on what your creative goals are.

Translate internationalization files via OpenAI as a Ruby gem
I made this gem to make it as easy as possible for developers working on Ruby or Ruby on Rails projects to quickly translate their i18n yaml files using OpenAI's Assistant. It's currently able to read the source yaml files, send the request to OpenAI's Assistant, and output yaml files in the target language. It is a gem and it is meant to be part of a project's Gemfile, allowing developers to perform the translation via the command line.

Of course this is true, but I'm not entirely sure of the implication? A tamed animal can be used for work, which is presumably the crux of his hypothesis?
Well put. It's a hard pill to swallow in the VC/startup area, but Open Source software owes you nothing. If Open Source software makes you money, it's your job to ensure that it stays a stable part of your supply chain. Nobody else is going to do it for you. Open Source maintainers aren't going to let down some hidden drawbridge and invite you onboard the gravy train. It's just code, managing to create a successful project sans-monetization is a challenge in itself.

I'll even go a step further; if your attention is only piqued by projects with revenue-sharing schemes, you'll be ignoring the most interesting projects on the market today.
