myth: an unfounded or false notion [0]

Given that definition of "myth" I find the name "scientists against myths" to be rather redundant, wouldn't you? In what version of reality is that not the agenda of every scientist?

A touch based OS is fundamentally different from a mouse based OS. There’s much to improve in ipadOS, but making it macOS is not a solution. What I’d like is more interoperability (files) between apps instead of them having their silo. And less restrictions about building your own apps (if someone wants a virtualization app to run macOS, let them be)
Startups work this way because they are operating in an economy dominated by financial fraud and enormous monopolistic incumbents. Without the need to impress investors who expect endless unrealistic projections of growth supported by unsustainable amounts of labor, or worse, to compete in a landscape where giant firms might just decide to compete with you or destroy you because you proved there was a market for something, a small business is hard work

bro your comment hits a bit too close to home. my partner took her master's degree yet she couldn't find a matching job in our area. at the very least, she now has better grasp on some things that actually matter to our life and her input is really valuable for me. so all in all, it's fine I guess.
As sibling comment mentioned, reference counting is very much non-predictable in latency.

If you want predictable, you want your GC to run either in constant time slice, or an upper-bounded timeslice.

Deferred refcounts can become quite complex if you want to avoid "I have just released last reference to something that contained a lot of other referenced" (there are some funny threads where Rust users discover that they sometimes need to spin an extra thread to not have effective "stop the world" XD).

So instead common approach is tracing GC with some form timesliced running collector, guaranteeing that time taken from mutator will be upper-bounded. For example, instead of stopping the world, concurrent GC will usually only require a synchronization point. Sometimes it also means that the collector will be given explicit timeslice to ensure that there's certain amount of work being done - it's all tradeoffs based on how much throughput and latency you want.

You can speed up tracing collectors through things like escape analysis and 1bit reference counting (for example, you set a bit if a new reference is passed outside of current scope, every object without bit set can be assumed to have all referenced contained in given scope, etc).
I know. I was just trying to find common ground. Forced, but in this day and age you almost have to ...

On the latter point, perhaps you're right. The key is whether it's inevitable or not. I don't profess to know.
Yes! It's one of those cases where when you've seen it before and know the catch with the instruction (probably vmovdqa) then you'll immediately recognise it. If you don't know it, it's very very mysterious. Why on earth Intel decided to make a handful of instructions require alignment is also a mystery to me.
Induction of social contagion in structured experiments in isolated villages
I think they addressed that by including the word "preserve," however the PDF summary of one of the reports[0] makes that explicit:

> Six in 10 respondents (62%) say they are not confident about the future of the program. Among those not receiving Social Security benefits, 68% lack confidence they will receive all of their earned benefits.

The report goes on to detail how people believe social security is far worse off than it actually is (likely, IMO, due to fearmongering from one particular side.)

Does Java have acolytes?

It might have before, like, 2005 when it became the default “intro to programming” language. And it might get some now that Python has taken that job. But for a while it was the “minimum requirements: fulfilled” of programming languages. There’s a lot to be said for fulfilling minimum requirements but that doesn’t tend to inspire evangelism.

It is a perfectly fine language in as much as I saw, that must be why it was selected for the sad fate of being many overwhelmed students’ first language.

I would argue that most SMB business owners are more entrepreneurial than the average "founder". To me "entrepreneur" connotes risk, and most VC backed entrepreneurs are only risking their time (with good odds of being a well payed employee if they fail). SMB owners are often risking a significant amount of their personal wealth (and potentially their home as well).

Exactly - we sample uniformly from an extension field, so entropy is proportional to the extension field size. The base field is almost irrelevant from a security perspective, since things like the Schwartz-Zippel lemma just care about the size of the field we sample from, even if the polynomial in question is (also) a polynomial over some smaller subfield.
I'd also be interested, at least for internal bug reports and such. From what I can see, jam.dev is collecting what I collect for dev-teams anyhow, just faster and more comprehensive.

But this would possibly move customer data in requests and screenshots out of our control, and the entire hassle of adding subcontractors and managing order data processing agreements have taken quite a few good monitoring and debugging tools out of discussions, sadly.

Historical Photos: Peering into the Past
This to me feels like the natural rhythm of productive work, meaning: if money is no object and you’re working on something that you are intrinsically interested in, you will naturally work in a feats-and-famine pattern. There will be weeks where you don’t take a day off because you are working at peak capacity. Then you reach a logical break in the work and decompress for a little while, doing barely anything.

I think the highly-regularized pattern of the 40-hour work week, 9-5, is not a natural rhythm. I think it kills the human spirit with its unnatural regularity and monotony.

I'd argue that the fraction of income that goes to administration should be regulated and capped to a fraction of the whole. Ultimately, most administration has little to do with education, and lots to do with expanding and increasing its own income.

On the other hand, giving money to institutions like NASA, CERN, INRIA and the likes is overall beneficial to society and its out of such institutions that we can make progress that benefits the overall good.

It's been established that companies exist only for the purpose of enriching the stock holders (according to CEOs that follow Welch's paradigm), therefore companies don't generally have any incentive to push for innovation and publish their findings unless that — in one way or the other — benefits them.
NOAA says 'extreme' Solar storm will persist through the weekend
Let's try to enumerate possible causes for short tenures:

* Actual job was not the thing promised in the interview

* Hired person and work environment do not "click"

* Got a better paid offer after N months

* Hired person was not up to the task and fired

* Work environment was toxic

* Hired person was toxic

And probably a few more.
In all these cases, IMO there is a much bigger responsibility on the company,because they are the stronger side and the one that has the last word on hiring someone. So, it ends up being manager's fault.
Having been a hiring manager myself, I can only excuse the manager in the case of a really, really, good faker during the interview phase. But those are not the norm.
“Startups” doesn’t mean “starting up a new business”, it means a company that is capable of hyperscaling. It’s shorthand for growth, per one of pg’s essays.

Lots of people start “normal, chill” lifestyle businesses. But nothing about a successful startup is “normal” in the traditional sense of the term.

I have written a lot of java.

I like it because it's comprehensively organized. I mean it does everything it should and does it a nice orderly way. The whole class system and c-like system, all together, works good. And addresses everything I want it to address.

And it does that without adding a bunch of crap. Or at least I find that crap easy to ignore. But ya, they do seem to be adding a lot of crap.

In a nutshell, it's a nice neat system. Python is a mess, comparatively.

I'm looking for a new language tho. Orderly and comprehensive like Java, but succincter.

I don't get it. My experience is that techies in the original sensor of the word have always enthusiastically joined companies where they thought the technology was profoundly cool. Business size or profits have little to do with it as it is how interesting or transformational the tech is. Most of us just want to get paid to do the thing we're passionate about, and have no particular interest in entering the world of personal yachts.

In fact the desire of people to "just work on really neat tech" and have some creative influence and work outside of a big boring company is exactly what has allowed many startups to underpay and play carrot-on-stick with stock options for years.

Almost nobody is getting rich inside these "tech" startups, the options agreements are written to prevent it. Maybe the founding engineers, but nobody after that.

I feel like what has happened is that the words "startup" and "tech" have been redefined by a small segment of the population who are interested in one particular thing being described here in this thread.

But I've been around long enough to remember when it meant "a group of people getting together to make some really neat tech."

Honestly the motivations of people who started a bunch of the foundational SV ecosystem were exactly that and not "let's be billionaires" That is very much a post-Y2k mentality.

I think that an easy-to-implement and reasonably performant garbage collector (GC) would combine two approaches:

- Let the compiler automatically free variables that go out of scope (using static analysis to insert free calls).

- Use reference counting when the scope is too hard to determine (fall back on a dynamic check).

Well, my brother is a musician and rents a room in a large house. He doesn't have a sugar mama/papa, music pays the the bills because he's actually frugal. For decades my dad implored him to "get a job" but in his mid-40s he's still is still happy with his life. Some other working musicians have partners with a higher income, but many don't; it's more common for them to be happily single or coupled with other musicians.

> Gender pay gaps usually involve different wages for same work

That's not true, the oft-touted statistics are "77cents on the dollar", which is taking median women's earnings when employed with median men's earnings when employed, without regard to hours worked or responsibility[0].

In fact when accounting for hours worked, years of experience, responsibility and before maternity age women typically out-earn men[1][2], though mostly in large urban environments.

I don't think anyone is blaming women here, but I think we should speak with factual information, lest we continue to propagate myths or erroneous talking points.

Please keep in mind that women seem to be disproportionately disadvantaged after having children, which is what the study from pew research concludes after noting the early advantage for women.

[0]: https://now.org/resource/the-gender-pay-gap-myth-vs-fact/ -- "By comparing differences in annual earnings between men and women, we find that there is about a 23 cent difference per dollar according to the Census Bureau."

Looking for alternatives to auth0, Eartho and Firebase auth (user login service)
Need some wisdom here. Looking for alternatives to Auth0 and Eartho.io . Got this basic site running on Hapi.js with good ol' vanilla JS for client stuff, no fancy frameworks

Need to add user logins for some extra features but don't want to deal with all the security headaches of DIY-ing it.

Tried both Auth0 and Firebase Auth, but no luck. Even followed Auth0's guides to the letter, still getting authentication errors with no clear fixes. And the internet's usual helpfulness is MIA.

Probably messing something up, but I'm 4 days behind schedule now. Just want a no-fuss login/user system, no framework baggage. Any suggestions?

Someone has experience with Eartho?

What if I told you that 10 other people had the same idea as you and are willing to work 9 to 6? Or 9 to 9 even?

The reason most successful startups take tons of work is that they are competing against peers willing to put in tons of work. If the whole ecosystem decided 9 to 5, 5 days a week was the effort cap, then sure, but game theory tells us that won't happen.

Half of all businesses fail after 5 years anyway according to Bureau of Labor Statistics. Might as well make a stake in something you can call your own, right? I often think of the pg essay where he claims none of the founders in the first batch regretted the experience. Worst case scenario I think is that you get the kind of experience that every company is looking for in employees. Counterintuitively I think being a founder is one of the best things you can do for your resume, even if you fail.

This is a super cool idea! We have considered implementing a variation of what you suggested, with the additional feature of linking each factual statement directly to the relevant lines in the literature. Imagine that in each scientific paper, you could click on any factual or semi-factual statement to be led to the exact source—not just the paper, but the specific relevant lines. From there, you could continue clicking to trace the origins of each fact or idea.

The vast majority of software and businesses are replicative.

If you only hire devs working on unique businesses or those with a sound business case you won't find many. They'll probably be too busy running successful businesses.
You’re forgetting to mention that many startups pay in promises and game those in the end that only founders get paid big and the employees who put in the time get close to nothing.
It’s just useful information to prospective students. I went to music conservatories and I have at least four classmates who (like me) are software engineers. Others are lawyers or doctors and plenty teach music. Only a small handful of students at the elite conservatories really do the thing they went there for, whether that be playing in one or the major symphonies or touring as a jazz musician.

When tuition + room and board nears six figures I think young people and their parents should have easier access to the average salaries of grads and what careers they really end up in.
