Yeah. Not just the sociopaths (which I think are a small minority), but I think the societal awareness and conventions window has shifted profoundly in tech, and we're very echo-chamber.

Tech industry today is pretty much 1980s greed-is-good Wall Street screwing over everyone they can, and the main difference is that today we don't realize we're behaving like the stereotypical coked-up bad guys.

We do tend to have some socially progressive ideas among tech workers, which is great. But not great is if we anchor our self-perceptions to that do-gooder side, and then give ourselves a blank check for society-destroying greed and obliviousness in other regards. (Can we please respect people's pronouns and also not screw over their economics, privacy, thinking, government, and general wellbeing?)
How are you measuring improvement?
No, land is illiquid, and that's a good thing.

People, as a group, undisciplined. Without discipline, money in hand is money spent. Land, land sits there, doing nothing, menacingly. In that sense, land is 'default alive' and money isn't. Generations can go by without any land-atrophy.

It helps with another human weakness too. It's impossible to get a person to save at rates of 30-40% of their salary. But make it a mortgage, and suddenly they've learned conscientiousness.
This subjective labelling contributed nothing to the conversation. Back up your statement.
You are missing that Spain's economy is not growing like the USA's.

Spanish wages grew only 2.7%/yr L10Y [1], and its nominal GDP/capita looks completely flat [2].

This explains why the city is affordable for international tourists but not locals. Regardless, a high "tourist tax" would probably be better for their economy than an outright ban.

This comment is under every single post related to Microsoft. I am 50/50 between Apple and Microsoft operating systems, and quite frankly, I don't notice any ads on Windows. Apple is actually more annoying at times (with their constant upgrade and product release promos). I get that Microsoft keeps making mistakes, but in terms of ads and bad behavior, I'd highly recommend taking a look at what Google has been up to. Even Linux isn't safe anymore, the amount of times I've come across requests in updates or installs asking me to enable telemetry or donate or support their patreon has gone up dramatically in the past few years.
Sure, but the discussion is "where do I put my savings", not "should I have savings or not".

Disclaimer: I do not know, really, what role language plays in a thought process. I just want to point why your takes are not enough to make me to believe that language is a necessary prerequisite for a thought.

1. Rubber duck maybe just help with attention issues. All the studies I heard of do not try to untangle the mechanism. People tend to use language for a multi-brain thinking, and in this mode people do not think their thoughts fully, they propose ideas allowing other to support them or dismiss them. In this way they've got combined knowledge and experience to do the work, simplifying the early rejection of bad ideas. And I'm sure this mode of thinking shapes mind and in particular attention processes. You need to track which bits of information you told already and which you didn't, and you trained for that. Rubber duck can be just a trigger for that mode of attention.

2. I didn't hear about externalities, but to my mind what really helps to remember it is a number of associated details. I believe that ideas extracted from the memory when some of these details is popped up in your thought. It serves like a key in an associative map. When you name a concept with a word, and then use this word in different combinations with other words building associations, then sometimes your mind just like LLM will suggest the first word when you used words associated with it. It seems like externalities you talk about. Language plays its role with this, but you can achieve the same result without a language but thinking about all connected concepts of a concept you are trying to remember. You can build associations this way.

No it isn't. It's the nature of about 30% of people, who can't be happy without knowing that someone else is worse off. Many of the characteristics that you ascribe to stupidity are actually examples of selfishness, and you're leveraging the existence thereof to rationalize your own selfishness.

Sorry to spoil your otherwise good example with a quibble, but PGP protects the signature with the encryption. S/MIME protects the signature normally, but it has a rarely used thing that works like signing the envelope that would presumably be available to the attacker. So you were probably referring to an S/MIME envelope signature in your example... :)
I was fresh out of college. But it’s not like that was an isolated incident or that other juniors don’t also have good ideas.
This could be expressed as "the devil is <anything> without love". The <anything> was a tool for doing good, or a heuristic approximation to Good, or a necessary defense against harm, but it becomes demonic when it is mistaken for Good itself. (Or "God", if you prefer—evil is idolatry.)
The main flags to look at:

* mtune/march - specifying a value of native optimizes for the current machine, x86-64-v1/v2/v3/v4 for generations or you can specify a specific CPU (ARM has different naming conventions). Recommendation: use the generation if distributing binaries, native if building and running locally unless you can get much much more specific

* -O2 / -O3 - turn on most optimizations for speed. Alternatively Os/Oz for smaller binaries (sometimes faster, particularly on ARM)

* -flto=thin - get most of the benefits of LTO with minimal compile time overhead

* pgo - if you have a representative workload you can use this to replace compiler heuristics with real world measurements. AutoFDO is the next evolution of this to make it easier to connect data from production environments to compile time.

* math: -fno-math-errno and -fno-trapping-math are “safe” subsets of ffast-math (i.e. don’t alter the numerical accuracy). -fno-signed-zeros can also probably be considered if valuable.
People really need to learn that they themselves Can Not decide the intentions of others.

You can likewise encode proprietary information in Markdown, in the sense that it can be readable but not necessarily understandable by another application that understands Markdown.

Idk, keeping spending low and pumping everything I could into index funds worked really well for me with minimal risk. When you come from a poor background and can't bounce back as easily from setbacks, you may have a different risk profile.
One thing in the STs favour was that it's core processor was clocked slightly faster. It needed to be because it didn't have the coprocessors for memory copies and sound that the Amiga had. However, if those processors weren't useful for the task, the ST would be a little quicker.

This manifested in 3D games where the processor did all the rasterisation. If the Amiga could bring it's blitter to bare, it won every time. If not, the ST would squeak it.

I think you both are speaking over eachother. You say on individual terms tipping makes sense and it does make sense in a vacuum like that. The other commenter is speaking in macro terms though. Having tips means theres less pressure to actually raise wages. It also fractures labor. You will have people getting no tips who really want higher wages and then people who are tipped well and comfortable with the status quo. This is a big issue with the restaurant industry; servers and bartenders in big cities might make most of their take from tips yet back of house struggles on the same base hourly wage since they aren’t tipped. Incentives are such that a high tipped server doesn’t want tipping to be replaced by wage increases sustained by menu price increases, since they will be splitting that now with back of house or less well tipped workers and will be making net less.

Nothing, and that is exactly my point. I have nothing against monetization at all.

What I am saying is, that if the elevator pitch for the project you are trying to monetize is "this is a replacement for $MIT-LICENSED-PROJECT" you will have a hard time.

The question the elevator pitch should answer first is how much this brings to the table to make me consider paying instead of just using the permissively licensed project for free.
Love in this article is defined by voluntary self sacrifice for the sake of others.

The point is that in the scenario being described, where the woman feels she needs "permission", the man's perspective is... if you were taking this, what does that say about ME? What does that say about what you think about ME? The decision would be about him, not her. How could it be about her? Wait, if it's not about ME, who else do you need this for? MY wife would never need such a thing.

It is easy to avoid stigma and shame through denial. The woman would be well aware that he would not approve such a thing and would take it in secret.

Thanks again for this comment.

Having thought about it a little, I'm going to try and address this by:-

- Adding a Pledge/Goals page with my plan for the platform

- Adding a Pricing page with Free and Pro (Coming soon) options

- Adding a "How are we funded" entry to the FAQ, explaining it's completely bootstrapped by me (whilst having a day job, hurrah), with a monetization plan of being funded by Pro plans, ticketing etc

- Publishing monthly financial data, open startup style (there won't be much in here currently aside from my Heroku bill) for additional transparency

I'm also considering the suggestion to add a "Support us" page for any groups/individuals who want to contribute to development efforts/running costs (though I'd be surprised if anyone would at this point.)
“Someone who publishes my work […] or republishes my work […] doesn’t have the right to make the choice for me to let my content be used for training AI.”

Dumb question: it seems like this assumes that once you have allocated a spot within an atlas, you can't move it. But wouldn't it be a within-GPU transfer to garbage collect a fragmented atlas into a new texture?

If so, then could you do a fast but messy allocation, then clean it up when you run out of space, or are about to? Or you could pull in more traditional GC tricks: have one texture that gradually accumulates long-lived images (the tenured region), and divide up another region into two semispaces that you do fast bump-like allocations into and then compact from one to the other when it fills up. You could even incrementally repack, assume copying within and between atlases works in the first place.
Karma aside, "having connections"/being "well-connected" is pretty much the equivalent in English. It's not bastardised at all; terms don't need to have the exact same cultural implications to be basically equivalent.

I read Operating Systems: Design and Implementation in 1988 or 1989, and it was an insightful and pleasing experience. I only wished, at the time, that there was some Unix-like OS that was "free" (for some intuitive value of the word "free", rather than the formal definition, which I hadn't heard of yet at the time). This could have been Minix.

In my opinion, `__builtin_constant_p()` is not that obscure of a feature. In C, it is used in macros to imitate constant functions, and in C++ it is useful for determining the current alternative that has lifetime in a `union` within a constant function. Granted that `__builtin_is_constant_evaluated()` has obsoleted its primary purpose, but there are enough ways it's still useful that I see it from time to time.

>Why should non-creatives go along with this?

We shouldn't. Art has historically been vastly overvalued and I like that its perceived/demanded value has been sharply declining over the past several decades and especially now with the advent of "AI".

I'm sorry if anyone reading this is an artist and I just twisted your pantaloons, but artists don't serve any valuable role in society. Artists exist strictly because society can afford to waste surplus time and resources on frivolous occupations, art is an intangible luxury.
This is better generalized as not just intelligence, but pride - everything that promotes self.

That said, I can see the "intelligence" formulation taking off more easily - anti-intellectualism is a mainstream idea already, whereas humility is verboten across all kinds of social contexts.

Since "love" is often debated, it's worth noting that the (relevant) Latin word for "love" gave rise to not just English "charity" but also "caring".
We celebrate winning. Second place deserves our scorn.

I strongly disagree with this value system, but that’s mostly where we are.

My definition of a shared branch is the one where only one person is working. It can be your local branch and the same one after you push it to remote. It's still not shared in the sense that only 1 person is supposed to work on that branch.

> the tools from computer science were useful for deciphering the more complex laws and regulations.

I've sometimes thought that certain aspects of law (e.g. contracts) are very similar to the strict rule-based thinking required in programming, and that the same basic logical thinking is required. It's just that some concepts have been formalised differently between the fields, and also that law has inherent fuzziness due to incomplete specification of its programs, the ambiguity of some language/phrasing, and the changing societal environment.

With programs, the computer interprets the rules deterministically (generally speaking), and we programmers are forced to draft our regulations accordingly or we'll get unwanted results. Whereas contracts are a bit less deterministically interpreted, and human incentives and potential interpretations have to be considered in drafting.

For what it's worth, Apple has been doing that for ages. Back in 2007/2008 nobody could get their hands on a capacitive touch screens at any meaningful scale. Apple had bought the entire world's manufacturing capacity and 100% of the supply for about two years ahead. They showed with iPhone that it was possible to do multi-touch screens well - and the consumers took notice. "Pinch to zoom" was a product differentiator back then.

What the consumers couldn't know was that nobody else could possibly match Apple's offering even with the best engineering workforce on the planet, because it was impossible to get hardware capable of multi-touch beyond tiny lab batch sizes. And you had to fight even for those.[ß]
