Org structure should not be a function of number of heads. If you follow some logic that each manager should have n reports you’ll make an idiotically tall structure. It’s basically the stupidest thing you can do. Which many organizations do. Most large orgs have a terrible design. It’s difficult.

Effective org design is about properly delegating authority. If you need to get your boss’ permission to do things, you’re friction, not lube. If your job is synthesizing others’ synthesis, so that a real decision maker can do things; you’re friction. If you’re a manager whose sole job is to try and emulate someone who is a better manager in a higher position, you’re friction.

It’s more useful to directly oversee a smaller number of important useful things that you can handle well than to hire two new people and manage them managing others.

Managers of managers are useful at the junctions where one manager doesn’t have the skill set to manage a necessary sub function at a tactical level. A CTO, CFO, CHRO, etc. at the top. Maybe a tech team lead or a design team lead or a financial team lead (varying by if you’re organized by product or function).

When a “manager” is not responsible for any tactical decision making, and instead just broad strategic direction, it’s much easier to govern a wide team of independently effective members. But if it grows too much? SPLIT the manager of manager duties with someone else. Don’t create another layer of manager of manager of managers who then by necessity also need to get split anyway.

It's all going to end up in JavaScript anyway.

I say this as a joke, yet: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-unity-webgl

Simply rendering your Unity Application within your React Application is just the beginning! The Unity Context exposes a lot more fun functions and properties to play around with such as two way communication or requesting fullscreen or a pointerlock. The possibilities are endless, what's next is up to you!

Love it or hate it. Everything ends up in JavaScript!

Good poit re using MyError, that is indeed what I meant in the Either case

Not sure what you mean by callback hell, I've never experienced that using Either. I just pass the Either from the db layer or whatever to the resource layer or whatever, where I fold it into a 200 with the requested thing or a 4xx or 5xx or whatever depending on the MyError (which is usually a sealed class that lists everything that can go wrong with the thing)
Every time I throw away a piece of plastic in the communal bin I think about that it should have never been manifactured from plastic, but from some plant / glass / etc.
What’s the lie? The plastic is indeed reused.
Food for thought: have a look at this paper[0] about structural regular expressions. The author (Rob Pike) sketches in the last section an awk-support. I remember using such regexps a while ago to tweak indented JSON and JSON-like data (the indentation allowed to loop on hashes easily).

An awk with json support would for the most part need to be able to loop on hashes and arrays, and provide ways to travel in-depth. So far regular awk can travel through arrays (line-separator), and "in-depth" (e.g. nested "arrays") via regular loops & cie. Probably easier to think about it with a few concrete examples though.

It's surely possible but it's not quite that easy, otherwise you'd see it daily in comments. It's similar for front page posts but harder since both users and moderators nuke spam-looking things as they are highly visible.
The best part of these methods is that they are (likely, from a layman's perspective) easier for a concerned user to block.

ChatGPT can't produce a code sample in a light theme
For close to half of the world's population who has a difficult time reading dark themes, ChatGPT is borderline useless. No amount of rewording the request fixes the issue. I'm about certain ChatGPT isn't cognizant of the appearance of the actual code sample window it is spitting code into.
Um... no. This is 100% completely and totally wrong.

x86-64 requires the hardware to support SSE2, which has native single-precision and double-precision instructions for floating-point (e.g., scalar multiply is MULSS and MULSD, respectively). Both the single precision and the double precision instructions will take the same time, except for DIVSS/DIVSD, where the 32-bit float version is slightly faster (about 2 cycles latency faster, and reciprocal throughput of 3 versus 5 per Agner's tables).

You might be thinking of x87 floating-point units, where all arithmetic is done internally using 80-bit floating-point types. But all x86 chips in like the last 20 years have had SSE units--which are faster anyways. Even in the days when it was the major floating-point units, it wasn't any slower, since all floating-point operations took the same time independent of format. It might be slower if you insisted that code compilation strictly follow IEEE 754 rules, but the solution everybody did was to not do that and that's why things like Java's strictfp or C's FLT_EVAL_METHOD were born. Even in that case, however, 32-bit floats would likely be faster than 64-bit for the simple fact that 32-bit floats can safely be emulated in 80-bit without fear of double rounding but 64-bit floats cannot.
Interestingly, reddit seems have gone down about 30-40 minutes ago too.
I don’t have a written source for this but we toured the landfill/recycling center in elementary school. Remember distinctly being shown how _only_ the thick necks and bottom portions of number 1 and 2 plastics can be recycled. Plastic bottle caps, as mentioned by the speaker, could not be recycled.
It always stuck with me.

Maybe (commercial?) recycling tech has improved to be able to do something with less dense plastic sections but seems diminishing returns. To be fair I’ve seen some cool maker videos of people cutting a bottle into “wire” for 3d printing etc. - but that’s not a commercial/global solution.
It absolutely is a defense.

We outsourced to company X, who is bound by law and contract not to engage in illegal actions. Company X, without our knowledge or approval subcontracted illegally.
Well, my point was that the first iPhone set a standard for smartphones that wasn't there before. After iPhone v1, people knew that "apps" were how things were going to be packaged and sold in the App Store and other app stores. It was better than anything else at the time like the Vision Pro seems to be also.

The trigraphs feature was a committee invention for something that had already largely stopped being a problem at the time it was decided. Nobody really used them, other than by mistake, which is why they were now removed in C23 (and already earlier in C++).

A write-only solution is virtually the same as an input method, or you have to support different representations in source code after all. It also doesn’t fix all syntax ambiguities. For example you may want to allow “<<“ as an ASCII version of “«”, but then you still have possible ambiguities with consecutive “<“s (does “<<< … >>>” mean “<« … »>” or “«< … >»”?). And it has the drawback that you have to learn how to type the symbols that look differently from their ASCII sequence counterpart in the canonical version.
well ARE YOU LONELY?

It might be a lot of spams, but it seems to come from a single account using a single sentence. Spammers are getting lazy these days.
Take a look at Solaris. Another huge game with 48 sectors and probably the best graphics seen on the 2600, all in a 16k cartridge.

Quite a feat considering how horrifyingly difficult programming the 2600 was. Even the SDK was fairly barebones, basically a VT100 connected to a PDP-11 running RT8 and a 6502 assembler
I think the average developer has a better chance of finding a robust, battle tested library to do what they need than cooking up some regex of their own. Preferably, the library does not use regex at all and checks data more intelligently.

Same story in the Netherlands. They mix and burn most waste, despite segregation.

Last year, they introduced a plastic packaging surcharge - which turned out to be a fee directly given to companies, not a tax nor earmarked for green activities.

This resulted in widespread outrage since companies started wrapping every single item in plastic just to charge consumers that fee. There was no mandate to provide plastic-free alternatives either. Absolutely bonkers!

Counterpoint to this doomerism, obviously region specific but TFA didn't bother specifying where in the world they're talking about with their broad brush statements about "downcycling" and "70% virgin plastic": https://www.startribune.com/recycling-real-twin-cities-minne...

Where is the contradiction in believing both that we use too much plastic and should act on individual and governmental levels to reduce it, and that sending a PET bottle to the landfill is a child's tantrum and not some heroic defiance of the plastic industry?
Consider this. Say completely neutral and impartial scientists have all the data that they need on how certain corporations and industries are having an impact on the environment. Those same corporations still have millions or billions of dollars to frame the narrative. That’s how you got the “carbon footprint” (BP). That’s how “actually you just need to recycle” can be astroturfed. That’s how the conversation and “discourse” can be focused around “consumer choice” and discipline.

The result is that everyone knows what the problems are (see: scientists). But you’re stuck spinning your wheels on the BS busywork created by the marketing/spin departments of those corporations.

And then there’s you. You’re just one gal. Okay, so maybe you’re cynical to a practical degree so you’re by-default skeptical of whatever “organic trend” that comes up on this topic. But so what? The regular people that are vocal on this issue are gonna come off as naive do-gooders. How could it hurt? Don’t you care about the environment? And what’s your retort to that? You can give them a three-paragraph lecture like this one here and feel like a mid-20th socialist intellectual giving a speech on Ideology. But you’re gonna come off as a crank. Old man/woman yelling at sky. Just some random person with an anti-social pet peeve. So you just go along with it even though it’s gonna end up in the same dump somewhere, you presume.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you extract a capture group (^foo$), you would get "foo" without the "\n", right?

If so, it is not "matching the end of a string" at all. Just end of line. That's exactly as expected in single-line mode, so it's good. May mismatch your expectations in multi-line mode though.

2. Reuse
3. Recycle

Many years ago I met Naveen Rao and tried to demo the Nervana-derived Intel card, which at the time Facebook and a couple others were sampling. During more formal talks, Intel sent him literally surrounded by a Xeon sales team that sidetracked the whole meeting.

When these Intel GPUs are “in the wild” it actually means Xeon salespeople are out on the hunt.

That looks like a person, or a pretty good HNGPT. It's not your average spam. (Unless most comments have been deleted.)
Again, it’s not meaningless; it likely changes your behaviors in ways you aren’t conscious of, and the plastic is actually reused.

Also, I’d suggest you aren’t the median person. Even if it had zero effect on your behavior, that likely isn’t true for others.

parsing from a string to a string runs the risk of erroneously assigning the original value to the new string. Which kinda defeats the whole parsing, not validating.

What would work is having a small object holding a readonly string which parses the original on creation, then becomes immutable.

Imagine being banned from Facebook due to not complying with the community guidelines and being unable to use your computer.

Community guidelines that can change at any moment at any time and are enforced by random people who can make mistakes.

A Facebook OS as a daily driver is an idea that is vomitive in every way.

Imagine ads that track you eyes and that you cannot look away from. Ads that track your face muscles so they know exactly how you react to them. Like being connected to a lie detector 24/7.

On current headsets, just because it's annoying to have to take the headset off to do things, and also to be able to use those apps in conjunction with other services like meetings in Horizon Workrooms.

On future headsets with higher resolution and better comfort, because it would be a legitimately better experience in many cases.
A blind person can still hear the spatial audio in Everquest. I think they would get the point.
heh, I meant as in "the garbage that no other department wanted" rather than "not much money in the grand scheme of things". I agree it's a total waste of everything.
I should see whether there's documentation of what they moved and what they replaced. I imagine there's "plenty" of room to do that (in the sense that there's probably some programs that are no longer mission-relevant because they controlled systems that have been shut down), but I'd love to know what got tossed.

Is the standard for this codified in clear language anywhere, or is it merely based on the whims of some federal prosecutor/judge? If I make digital watches, and I buy coin cell batteries from a supplier who buys battery precursors from a supplier who buys LiCoO2 from a manufacturer who buys lithium-rich brine from a supplier who buys lithium mining equipment from a sanctioned entity, how much of the full brunt of Uncle Sam's retribution can I expect to come crashing down on me?

I was about to say that, point to point. But, think about that. Unix was the cool thing from the 80's, so even if ITS was a hackers' dream, mixing Unix' utilitarianism with Emacs' Elisp hackability on top of that wouldn't be so bad under a proper GNU kernel + Emacs userland system.

That’s possible, and is why the providers investigate (using the account history that we don’t have access to). Often, other customer data - or a 5 minute phone call - is enough for the provider to tell the difference.
Why did it do that? It would make me annoyed at the super, not annoyed at the environment. ;)

Regular expressions make me sad about our industry.

If you read the early papers, you get a very clear language for pattern matching on sequences. They have really nice properties - the compilation to finite automata gives you decidable equality and decidable minimisation. As in you can compile equivalent regex to exactly the same state machine however they were expressed.

At some point perl happened and that seems to have sent us down a path to encoding the regular expression in an illegible subset of ascii. The backtracking implementation cost us negation and intersection. What should be linear time matching becomes exponential.

Emacs will let you write regex in s-expressions at which point they're much easier to read. Everywhere else has gone with "looks like Perl but has different semantics, which we kind of document, be lucky".

I started writing tests to check that regex I'd begrudgingly converted to the perl style behaved the same under different engines and the divergence is rough. Granted I was parsing regex with regex which is possibly a path to insanity but things like a literal [ were a real puzzle to match on different implementations.

I don't know that the horrible syntax on semantic beauty is due to perl but it looks likely from a superficial standpoint.

I travel a lot and a lot of the time reading on an e-device is actually better than a stack of paper in a poorly-lit location. So, if it's basically flowing text or even lots of things like a guidebook increasingly, I don't have a lot of interest in the bound paper.

I've been culling my house of a lot of paper.
Quite contrary I would say. An American megacorp will always know how much profit from the US sanctions it can do and get away with it. Sometimes a slap on the wrist can happen, but in general... You do want those campaign donations flowing, do you? Then there is no reason to rock the boat.

Smaller companies from other countries may not be so lucky so they may actually refrain from such activities.

Meta is smartly capturing the MR developer market like they captured the web developer market with React.

In terms of Vision vs Quest - I wonder if there will be a "React Native" parallel that allows developers to write React for both Vision and Quest apps. A lot of the developer market comes down to languages: Python for AI/ML, Obj-C (Swift) for iOS, Java (Kotlin) for Android - but JavaScript always seems to weasle its way into these native platforms and a lot of companies end up just writing React for anything front-end.
