Fun fact: Nature used to publish papers without any peer review whatsoever right up to the mid-60s. The selection was based on what the editors thought was interesting or provocative.

Legend has it that the submissions tracking system consisted of a particularly wide windowsill, in which the submitted manuscripts were stacked up in piles for each month.
Agree, but they can't really do very much about the massive number of legacy systems in departments that can't or won't spend money to modernise. My favourite example to hate is the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency which tracks different things in multiple systems, and still requires snail mail interactions (!!!) for some services, such as reclaiming a license after a medical suspension (personal experience). To DVLA, people like me are a pure cost, as are the systems that record my data.

If your homelab gear is in a non-tech-nerd living space, also think about noise, lights/displays, and otherwise being discreet.

As an apartment-dweller, for a long time I had it in a closet. Once I moved it to living room, my solutions included:

* For discreet, IKEA CORRAS cabinet that matched my other furniture. I had rackmount posts in it before, but got rid of them because they protruded.

* For noise, going with gear that's either fanless, or can be cooled with a small number of Noctua fans. (I also replace the fans in 1U PSUs with Noctuas, which requires a little soldering and cursing.) I tend to end up with Atom servers that can run fanless in a non-datacenter except for the PSU.

* Also for noise, since my only non-silent server right now is the 3090 GPU server, I make that one spin up on demand. In this case, I have a command I can run from my laptop to Wake-on-LAN. But you could also use IPMI, kludge something with a PDU or IoT power outlet, find a way to spin down the 3090 and fans in software, make Kubernetes automate it, etc.

* For lights, covering too-bright indicator LEDs with white labelmaker tape works well, and looks better than you'd think. Black labelmaker tape for lights you don't need to see.

* For console, I like the discreet slide-out rack consoles, especially the vintage IBM ones with the TrackPoint keyboards. If I was going to have a monitoring display in my living room, I'd at least put the keyboard in a slide-out drawer.

* I also get rid of gear I don't need, or I'd need more than twice the rack space I currently have, and it would be harder to pass as possibly audiophile gear in the living room.

* For an apartment, if you don't want to play with the router right now (just servers), consider a plastic OpenWRT router. It can replace a few rack units of gear (router, switch, patch panel), and maybe you don't even need external WiFi APs and cabling to them.
I've been fully remote for about a decade. I live in a tech desert so I definitely hope it never changes. :)
The introduction poses a bit of a false dilemma--there's a third, unmentioned choice:

3. Forgive the individual who has wronged you for their past actions, without continuing the relationship.

Forgiving someone for a wrong action they've committed is too often conflated with restoring that person to an identical position of trust and closeness in your life. Forgiveness is about letting go of the past--it doesn't mean you also are obliged to recommit to a future.

Choosing to put a person back in the same level of trust as that of a stranger is not holding a grudge. Choosing to end a relationship is not holding a grudge. It is simply a reversion to the mean--one that could lead to rebuilding a relationship of trust, or not.
>I was heavily indoctrinated in the language of self-control, responsibility, and accountability, and these made me easy to exploit. My own "red pill" moment involved understanding these as tools of power rather than facts of the world, thereby freeing myself to better represent my own interests.

Can you give some clearer examples? I am curious how this is done in those circles.

Even in Asia, MENA, and South America as well, if you can afford a big car you will buy one.

There's a reason pickups like the Hilux, D-Max, Ford F150, and Vigo are a luxury in ASEAN and the MENA, SUVs like Scorpio or Fortuner in India+Nepal, and pickups like Tacoma and Toro in Cental+South America

The EU isn't representative for the rest of the world either.

My favorite mental framework to reason about consistency in distributed systems, Invariant Confluence, was formulated by Peter Bailis at al in Coordination Avoidance in Database Systems (overview and link to paper http://www.bailis.org/blog/when-does-consistency-require-coo...)

Invariant confluence, determines whether an application requires coordination for correct execution.

You can tailor the invariants to your requirements making invariant confluence a much better tool than CAP

But for the majority of people living in the US, what changed?

there's a lot of effort being put into hiding the file based systems underneath (i.e. "libraries" in MacOS, mobiles OSes like android). if something doesn't work or data is lost, it takes people who know what files are, to fix things. Please don't take files away from us, we just want to be able to help.

This can happen when you are working with new codebases or APIs.
For example, recently I tried to build this small gnome extension [0] but I had 0 experience with the API.
So I tried chat gpt.

Even though the structure of the code in the file was ok, it called some APIs that did not exist, it created a new var `this._menu` for the dropdown that was not needed (this.menu already exists) and in the end I still had to go through gnome extensions docs to figure out how to do it right.

Overall I don't regret using it but the experience wasn't magical, as I guess we all want it.

You are right. Awareness doesn't imply immunity. I still believe a lot of people are simply unaware of the deceit, making the problem bigger (or more saddening)
When I started using SBC's for my home setup, I skipped rPi's. At the time, being ARM based was a bit limiting (IIRC, at the time some stuff still hadn't been ported to ARM). So I went with odroid h2/h3 [0]. X86 based, lots of memory to work with, and much cheaper then a nuc - and uses much less power then my old Dell/HP blade servers from EBay :-)

I hear you and that makes sense for speech, but let's come back to the fact that this thread begins with a guide put online for anyone interested in the subject to read. Ease of saying a phrase out loud has less importance for written communication and there's a difference between speaking about one's own specific situation and generalising that to tips for your entire audience.
Yep, when I was reading this article, as I kept hearing about what Dias was doing to his students, I was getting ready to throttle him.

The students here didn't really do anything wrong, but Dias used his position of authority to essentially blackmail the students into becoming complicit in fraud, and attempted to justify it essentially with an "everybody does it" excuse. Kudos to them for taking the initiative to retract their paper over the head of their PI! That takes a lot of courage, given the immense powers an advisor holds over their students.
Russia is currently the preeminent power that lies beyond the reach of US law while still having functional internet infrastructure. If you stay reasonably low-profile and stay out of the way of domestic interests, you should be safe.

I went through this with an online friend. I understand why they were like they were, but I couldn't let them continue to be that way around me.

>In one experiment, working adults imagined a scenario where a colleague with the goal of being fit either ate a large dessert or abstained from dessert altogether. Researchers found that the colleague was seen as being better suited for high-power roles when they abstained from indulging, an indication of self-control.

The result of the study seems obvious even if the design is a bit primitive.

My doctor's office pushes really hard for me to set up a physical if I haven't been in recently and need prescription refills. This includes for allergy and asthma medication, which I have used as-needed since I was a child. This started happening around a decade ago; before that, it was never a problem to have the pharmacy call the doctor's office for the refills, and that was that.
Definitely resonates with me.

I'm still working from home (hybrid, technically, since I go in occasionally), but that will be changing very soon, unfortunately—right after the pandemic lockdowns ended here, the building I work in started undergoing major renovations, which are just finishing up now.

Fortunately, I still only live a 5-minute drive (or 25-minute walk) from work. I'll also be trying to get permission to work from home 1-3 days per week once the transition is complete, though I'm not sure how well that will fly with HR yet.

I'm really happy to see we're exploring ways to make SQL more maintainable. TypeScript did a lot for the JS ecosystem, giving us nice autocomplete and making many kinds of bugs impossible to type-check, adding this kind of type-system to SQL makes a bunch of sense.

Very cool work team!
I suspect you might be surprised.

They keep almost everything in the same monorepo: every service, Facebook itself, the backend tools, many of the 'spinoff' experiences, the user data processing pipeline, the list goes on. All in one spot. Now, imagine 60-70k engineers, all wanting to have that sweet, sweet impact needed for good ratings and promotions. Add to that the fact that LOC and reviews are used as a metric for productivity.

Windows has to eventually compile into a collection of binaries delivered (at least in part) to their various platforms. Facebook/Meta does not have that kind of limitation; as long as each piece can be extracted for its own purposes and deployed, everyone is 'happy'.

Windows is estimated to be about 50M lines of code. Meta, in one post, simply suggests that it is "many times larger" than the Linux Kernel at 17M. [1]

Is it all needed? Probably not. But it certainly exists.

I wouldn't be surprised if you're right, but it would be helpful to spell out acronyms like this one.
Forgiveness <> Letting go.

The idea that these two things are so deeply tied feels very cultural (western? christian?).

The parable of the two monks and the woman springs to mind as the best example of breaking the link between letting go and forgiving. If you dont know the parable see: https://www.alphahome.org/two-monks-and-a-woman/

Trying to map this issue onto the prisoners dilemma is reductive in a way that makes good content and bad advice. Walking away and letting go is a viable option, and depending on the circumstance might be better for the aggrieved party.
Try taking a photograph of any piece of transportation infrastructure since 9/11. If any law officer sees you, you'll be drummed out of there posthaste. (Even if it is in fact legal, in which case you might be able to stay after an extensive argument.)

Or try entering any New York City subway - there are random bag checks and inspection points created as a direct response to 9/11.
I'm less than 500 meters as well and it's pretty surprising how much I enjoy going into the office. I was previously working from home for several years and never thought I'd go back to an office, but with basically no commute and headphones, it's hard to complain.
Yes, of course, there is a chance that's "just" the experience. But these remarks tend to fall into the always same sexist, normative stereotypes - usually the only occurrence of "woman" in the story. In any case, the author does know he isn't exactly the first one to make that joke... In the end his experience may be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Communication does not happen in a vacuum, how something could be perceived usually is considered on some level - the author may not have seen it as a problem... which kinda is the problem.

Honestly, I wouldn't want for anyone to act the way pro forma either, or think the author has done anything wrong, or even misogynistic, as others have suggested.

It isn't something wrong, it is unfortunate. I think these jokes are sad, because any author would have an imaginary reader in mind, someone who might find the joke funny. And I don't think that imaginary reader is a woman, here - and it shows. So, for any woman reading these "boy's club" guides and write-ups, they will always feel othered, always have to overcome these tiny, but omnipresent obstacles in the way of their (new & fragile) interests. (Radiolab's 'Alone enough' episode comes to mind[1])

I just wish, people would introspect their motivations and intentions behind those remarks some. And especially when writing a guide, maybe consider if the take is worth discouraging even one girl's newly found interest in computers and blinky chaos, because her projected role as the opposition has just been reproduced sufficiently to stick. I wish authors would be aware of the problem implicitly alienating some readers by these reproductions, so writing welcoming texts to everyone would be intrinsic motivation.

It's essential to rule out certain happenings when performing analysis, and acts of God are commonly among them.

For example, if you need to account for cosmic rays, you can't prove anything meaningful about software. Redundancy won't get you out of this: you add redundancy, I'll add more cosmic rays.

All that does is force a useful analysis into a muddy and probabilistic one. It's actually pretty important to account for cosmic rays! But you do that on top of an analysis which presumes that the hardware performs correctly. It's not a useful reality to expose to a proof assistant.

To anticipate an objection: yes, you absolutely can rule out network partitions in an analysis, if that's a useful thing to do. For a packet-switched network, it isn't useful. But different network topologies exist, or at least used to, ones where once a circuit is negotiated, you can say useful things about the network without accounting for the kind of equipment failure which might break that circuit. For packet switching, you're going to have a really bad time if you don't account for partitions, because those are expected behavior, one of the properties of the system under consideration.
Liebe Unterstützer und Unterstützerinnen,

ich wende mich heute mit einem dringenden Anliegen an Sie, denn unsere Familie steht vor einer zutiefst besorgniserregenden Situation. Als Eltern von sieben Kindern hier in Deutschland durchleben wir derzeit eine Zeit der Unsicherheit und Angst. Die Ereignisse rund um den Ukraine-Russland-Krieg sowie die steigende Inflation haben unsere Sorgen um die Zukunft unserer Kinder massiv verstärkt.

Es ist für uns unerträglich zu sehen, wie die Lage sich zuspitzt und ein Krieg unausweichlich erscheint. Aus diesem Grund haben wir uns entschieden, unsere Familie in Sicherheit zu bringen. Wir sehen keine Zukunftsperspektive mehr für unsere Kinder hier in Deutschland. Die Angst, sie in einer Umgebung aufwachsen zu sehen, die von Unsicherheit und Gefahr geprägt ist, treibt uns dazu, zu handeln.

Unser Ziel ist es, auf die sichere Insel Las Palmas de Gran Canaria zu fliehen, wo wir uns selbst versorgen können und ein Leben in Frieden und Sicherheit führen können. Doch die Realisierung dieses Vorhabens erweist sich als finanzielle Herausforderung, der wir uns alleine nicht gewachsen fühlen. Wir bitten Sie daher um Ihre großzügige Unterstützung, um uns den Start in ein neues Leben zu ermöglichen.

Jeder Beitrag, sei er noch so klein, hilft uns dabei, unserem Ziel näher zu kommen. Wir sind bereit, alles zu tun, um unsere Kinder vor den Schrecken des Krieges zu bewahren und ihnen eine sichere Zukunft zu bieten. Ihre Hilfe würde uns nicht nur finanziell entlasten, sondern auch das Fundament für einen Neuanfang legen.

Es bricht uns das Herz, diese Entscheidung treffen zu müssen, doch wir sind fest davon überzeugt, dass es die richtige ist, um unsere Familie zu schützen. Wir sind dankbar für jede Form der Unterstützung, die Sie uns gewähren können, sei es durch Spenden oder durch das Teilen unserer Geschichte.

In dieser schweren Zeit sind wir auf die Solidarität und Großzügigkeit unserer Mitmenschen angewiesen. Gemeinsam können wir es schaffen, unserer Familie eine sichere Zuflucht zu bieten und ihnen die Chance auf ein glückliches und friedliches Leben zu geben.

Vielen Dank für Ihre Aufmerksamkeit und Unterstützung.

Mit ganz lieben Grüßen,

Familie Meyer
Russia's war against the Ukraine certainly qualifies as significant change by any measure.
Methinks the attempt to create general purpose quantum computers is a false direction.

Once you've played with a quantum computer (I used IBM's online QC) the novelty
wears off. It is basically "operators" (2x2 Pauli matrices,etc).

The key problems seems to be that the quantum lifetime is very short and by the very nature of quantum computation it requires multiple runs to get statistics.

It is my opinion that there ought to be a list of "quantum solvable questions".
Then there ought to be a focus on creating fixed-purpose quantum solutions.

For example, the problem of understanding particular chemical bonds to improve something like high/low friction surfaces. Build a fixed-purpose quantum computer that optimizes those computations.

I'm pretty sure the chemists could create a list of questions they would like answered.

This would create a market for companies that specialize in building fixed-purpose machines that solve real problems.

In other words, "build-to-purpose" rather than "build-for-anything".

There is a huge market for first-movers in build-to-purpose.
Good thoughts! I think there is much more nuance as I disagree with some of your points:

> I believe that impostor syndrome is a lack of overconfidence in one's abilities - that implies that you have the the ability to assess competence --

I think that competence in an ability is not perfectly synchronized with ability-assessment-competence.

I think ability-assessment-incompetence can result in both under- and overconfidence, before accounting for a self-esteem bias. Being underconfident is also an incorrect self-assessment, which doesn't imply ability-assessment-competence.

> If you lacked the ability to assess competence in yourself, then you likely would not have impostor syndrome.

Here I disagree the most. I think impostor syndrome can be the result of ability-assessment-incompetence, somewhat detached from their true competence in the actual abilities involved.
