> but often my advice doesn’t gel with those who sought it.

Absolutely, but the author's explanation of why is both incomplete and unnecessary convoluted.

People pursue that which they can reason about, such as bike shedding[1]. Other answers are discarded without consideration. This is called bias. Perhaps the common bias failure that people employ about software are unfounded assertions. Developers make unfounded assertions typically in the quest for least effort without consideration of total cost of ownership[2]. Software managers frequently make the same errors for the purpose of reducing accounting expenses as opposed to personal time.

Senior executives and military leaders solve for this by surrounding themselves with advisors. Advisors occupy a managerial position of domain specific knowledge that eagerly seek to both keep their boss informed and simultaneously disqualify their boss's bad decisions. This works to eliminate bias so that the boss's job is then limited to balancing competing guidance from their advisors against their own managerial experience in consideration of attaining the stated goal.

Surely most Tesla owners interested in self-driving already had it, so wouldn't be part of the trial. 2% of owners who weren't previously interested in self-driving sounds like a big number to me.

China gave out huge incentives in the last decade to move to EV's. There are something like 100 different EV makers in china. No that number is not an exaggeration.

The idea that in the current economic storm EV dumping is going to happen is a real thing. The Biden move is proactive and the EU is going much slower but on the same path.
This was my intention
I wonder how common that is though.

In terms of people who might consider Fusion you have:

- People who only use Windows

- People who only use macOS

- People who only use Linux

- People who virtualize Windows on macOS

- People who virtualize Linux on macOS

- People who run FreeBSD or similar on their computers

- People who virtualize FreeBSD or similar on macOS

- People who virtualize various operating systems on Windows

- People who virtualize various operating systems on Linux

- People who virtualize various operating systems on FreeBSD or similar

And I would guess that the largest group of people that use Fusion use it for running Windows in a VM on macOS.

I would guess that the people who develop for Linux servers would mainly use Docker if they run macOS, and that also relies on VM, but not using Fusion.
I'm just talking about demographics here. The youth support Palestine and stand against genocide. The largest student protests since Vietnam are happening RIGHT NOW.

All I'm saying is you would think a company who's branding is so strongly linked to that younger demographic would care more
Linked lists were heavily used in application software before the appearance of standard libraries and Java, which is when dynamically sizable array-based lists become common. There also wasn't a gap between the performance of linked lists and arrays before CPU became significantly faster than RAM.
Clocks did not succeed because of their ability to exploit workers (they were way more useful on ships), nor lights because of rebels, but SV companies do succeed, spectacularly, once their utility for totalitarianism has been demonstrated. For example, the price of nVidia over time, the TikTok hysteria, Facebook, Twitter, Google, Palantir, Tesla, even Figma is like in a secondary market of helping to provide the veneer.

Conversely, if you are of no use to such a regime you will not get very far. The only meaningful question here is how organic this phenomenon is.
Half of my office Doordashes these salads for lunch. I was really thinking this was the next Chipotle (before the turmoil and general suckitude settled in).

Using existing code is fine, that's how most software is built anyhow. Only masochists build from complete scratch.

EDIT: I've been getting a lot of down votes for this stance, surprisingly. Why not share your position if you don't agree? There must be a bunch of hardcore people on here who are writing directly on the metal in machine code. Short of that, you are in fact using someone else's code in all your projects.
I'm at Meta, I like using it for the most part. The chat could be improved upon but overall I really like having Facebook-like Groups and I don't think any other platform has something like that.
I'm a little bit slow with all this stuff, can somebody confirm this is the process:

a) take photo of woman and photo of cat

b) DCT cat into the frequency domain

c) composite the frequency domain cat into the visual image of the woman

d) if you DCT the composite image, you get the cat back? (or more specifically, you get the visual cat and the frequency domain woman composited; but the visual cat dominates)
Or it could be alien made. Like a dyson sphere - but a planet, with solar capture on the shell. Build everything without all the mass, add magnetic shoes and other tech to make living in 0g a reality.

Data Wrangler: A code-centric data exploring, cleaning and prep tool for VS Code
Hello everyone, this is the Data Wrangler team at Microsoft!

Over the past year, we've engaged with numerous data scientists who expressed frustration over the time-consuming and often tedious tasks of cleaning, preparing, and analyzing their datasets. This process typically involves a trial-and-error approach, repeatedly searching for the right Pandas API for a transformation and verifying the results by examining the output data frames.

To address these challenges, we are thrilled to introduce a new tool within VS Code aimed at streamlining these processes, Data Wrangler.

Data Wrangler is a free, code-centric data viewing and cleaning tool integrated into VS Code and VS Code Jupyter Notebooks. It offers a data grid user interface that allows you to view and analyze your data, provides insightful column statistics and visualizations, and automatically generates the corresponding Python and Pandas code as you clean and transform data using the UI/grid.

Lets take a common scenario where you need to identify and fill missing values in a dataset. Typically, you would write code to determine which columns contain missing values, or even searching online or using ChatGPT to find the appropriate Pandas API. After running the code, you would need to write additional code to verify that the missing values have been addressed. Data Wrangler simplifies this by displaying missing value statistics above each column and providing built-in data cleaning operations to remove or fill these values. It then automatically generates the necessary Pandas and Python code, which can be exported back into your Notebook to be reused.

Download the free VS Code extension here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-tools...
Learn more about Data Wrangler in our detailed walkthrough video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tWJVLF6PuA&ab_channel=Visua...

We would love for everyone here to try out Data Wrangler on your data! And we’ll be here to help answer questions and receive feedback.

Thanks again!

For an on screen keyboard I find it far from highly-sub-optimal, I think it’s pretty decent.

More importantly, it’s not realistic to think it will ever be as good as a real keyboard for lot of text entry. I expect dictation to do a better job for data entry.

In fact, this comment was created using dictation on an iPad, almost flawless, not much editing needed afterwards, and you can always use a keyboards if you prefer.
They still need to. You are glossing over the fact that you need to provide device access, USB access, graphics, and a lot of things that are not necessarily provided by the "native" hypervisor (HyperKit does not do even half of what Parallels does, for instance).
I rolled this out when it was "Facebook at Work" at an education non-profit I was working at in Cambodia. It was generally successful and useful for doing the type on internal storytelling we were trying to do. Particularly because teachers and staff didn't have, need or want Slack.

It was loads better than Google+, which we had tried before.

These days I suspect things like Slack started to take over here, but for that particular time and place it was a great fit.

> One that easily comes to mind is the dysfunction that comes from people being separated from in-personal social feedback

You seem to be describing a situation in which the person is not _choosing_ to use these tools. In which case, it doesn't seem like the tool that's the problem, but a corporation using it inappropriately.

Which, again, is the result of the labor market being monopolized. If this practice is as deleterious as you suggest, then why put up with it, unless you don't have a realistic choice. So, I actually think you've precisely made my point for me.
I don't think they've sunk $1 into that idea. They've sunk billions into a different idea: that people enjoy using their vocal cords more than their hands to compose messages to send to each other. That is not a spoken conversation, it's just correspondence with voice input/output options.
Not sure about that, that senior engineer leaving likely led to feature development severely slowing down.
“Hybrid RTO” is still RTO.

Requiring people to come to the office 3 days a week for no reason other than executives and managers getting off on control is moronic.

“Hybrid” RTO has literally no benefit over RTO except for being able to say “hybrid”.

It forces all of the same problems as RTO - cost and location of living, planning for not being home, massive commute times, etc

You have to keep in mind that it was originally created as a drug for diabetes, where it would normally already be used along with diet and exercise. And diabetes is probably best to fight off as quickly as possible, even if that means having to take a medicine that makes you 'leaky'.
It's crazy to me that the most updated file in your repository is the license - pushing back the open source date by a day every day.
Firefox is doing a lot more than merely keeping up with web standards. Learning to abrogate a web standard is not an impossibility. They are standards for a reason: to show other engineers how to interface with them. I'd consider a browser finished if it has tabs, bookmarks, history, and print. Same as we had 25 years ago.
It is very easy to underestimate the affect of covariates in observational studies. That’s why randomized control trials are kind of the gold standard for understanding causative relationships.

It's not about me. The largest student protest since Vietnam is currently happening. The majority of young Americans[0] are pro-Palestine and those numbers have only been growing

I've never really understood the point of these visualizer things. The idea that a model is always well represented by a directed acyclic graph seems extremely dated.

I really would love a PyTorch/JAX profiler that shows, in annotated Python, where your code is allocating memory, using compute or doing device copies.
> We've designed society to give rewards to people who produce things of value

Is that really what copyright does though? I would be all for some arrangement to reward valuable contributions, but the way copyright goes about allocating that reward is by removing the right of everyone but the copyright holder to use information or share a cultural artifact. Making it illegal to, say, incorporate a bar you found inspiring into a song you make and share, or to tell and distribute stories about some characters that you connected with, is profoundly anti-human.
Well, I use Parallels to run a Windows VM for work (on ARM). It's its own little bubble universe, completely isolated from my Mac desktop, but available at a swipe.

I do use Fusion as well (on my laptop), and have a Windows VM there as well, but solely to run older games. Works fine.
The irony of a "genius by all tests" ending his life by swimming in a polluted river is tragic, and human.
Ah thanks for sharing your memories, seems like computing was so much more expensive compared to now. I enjoy playing around with an old Mac Plus and a modern emulated HD20 drive. Eventually like to use it as a terminal, but really I just enjoy playing with an older retro computer that has a pretty clear lineage to my daily modern computer.

On Windows (Pro) Hyper-V is free, and quite good. Maybe it's less user friendly.

Windows also has Sandbox (based on container technology), which replaces creating a VM to test some software without affecting the system.
I think you are mistaken.

What about people who virtualize various operating systems on macOS? That was my entire team at a prior engagement (at Microsoft, as it happens…). I suspect it’s a large number, developers tend to like macOS, so if you’re making a cross platform application and want to be able to test anything at all, you need a VM.

It’s Messages. The Apple app.
When they say "Free" what they mean is these products are now the walking dead. They are on maintenance only support until any existing commercial contracts expire at which point they will be cancelled.

In this case, I admit that I think it's the right thing to do. These products don't really need to exist as commercial offerings except for a few very niche cases.
They consistently take stands on issues like race. E.g. their "commitment to"

> Alleviating food insecurity in black communities

> Championing black farmers + partners

> Creating a more diverse, equitable + inclusive team

> Supporting our team’s ability to vote
