I've been an engineer for decades rising to Principal at a company recognisable to most people here, and I've done early stage startup hands-on CTO roles. During Covid I ended up as an SDM at a FAANG and found that so soul-destroying I ended up moving into a TPM role in a very, very technical team that despite in a huge org, works like an early-stage startup. It's not cutting code every day, but I muck about on my own tools and have clearance from legal to do some very specific non-competing side projects.

My goal in the next year is to go back to SWE but as an entrepreneur - as an indie of some form. I have a niche in mind that might pay the bills.

You're right about the industry being broken, senior managers infantilising and patronising teams, and the constant arguing about bullshit with people who just want to be right all the time, even when they're clearly wrong.

Asymmetrical value is where it is at. Keep going with that angle, hustle, get out, and don't worry about scaling: lifestyle businesses are the new unicorns.

I was homeschooled from K-6th, and unschooled from 7th-12th, circa 90s-2000s. I have thoughts.

I wound up fine, by which I mean I managed to get a B.S. and M.S, and have a good-paying job. IME, this is in no way the norm for either group. To be fair, my upbringing was also conservative Christian (but in a weird way, like my mom encouraged me to do a comparative religion study in high school), so many of my peers were on the "college is useless and indoctrinates you" track.

I was able to do a lot of self-directed learning, which in retrospect was useful. For example, I showed a strong interest in computers since I was about six years old. As such, I was encouraged to explore them, had books purchased for me on the subject, etc. As a counterpoint, before unschooling, I was forced to learn Latin and Greek roots. I hated it at the time, but these have proven to be remarkably useful in life – turns out a stunning amount of English words have Latin or Greek roots, so you can figure out much of a word's meaning from them. I think there are some things that kids are unlikely to be interested in, but just like being forced to eat a balanced diet, are still the right choice.

My wife is a Montessori teacher, and I think it's the best middle ground. Kids are encouraged to learn what they're interested in at a time that they're interested in it, and a love for learning for the sake of learning is encouraged. At the same time, if a kid stubbornly refuses to learn anything, eventually they will be forced to go through lessons, because at some point, you have to have a baseline level of education.
I'm surprised no one has brought back the desktop stripper yet.

HyperCard is more limited (which acted as a forcing function for creative solutions) and also had an approachability which far surpasses that of HTML/JS. But maybe it's the closest analog..

Even if you stick to only HTML, it's not nearly as fun to make.

“I think we can certainly talk about it”

Talking about wrapping all food in our society using a product derived from an allergen like this is going to cause trauma and worry for those with serious allergies

What should we discuss next, nut plastic ?

If it was nuts and it only contains 50 bits of nuts per million grams ? And this makes sick only a few thousand people with the most sensitive nut allergy it’s ok to talk about doing it ?

No. This idea is so stupid and upsetting to many it should be binned immediately.

It will open the door to cross contamination of every food in our society with gluten.

As we have seen with sugar derived from wheat making many coeliacs sick , it is impossible to safely separate individual molecules from what or barley.
I was curious about the name "glissotar" (less self-explanatory than the in-development glissoflute and glissoboe) but it appears to refer to the Hungarian Tárogató https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C3%A1rogat%C3%B3

That's because the browser is a de-facto OS, which occurred only due to a sheer lack of actual OS market innovation - Debian had a package manager 20 years ago, Windows didn't until 2019. Browsers succeeded because apps ("websites") abstracted away the download/install process in a user friendly fashion.

That ruling's only fault was that it didn't go far enough in hammering Microsoft's anticompetitive "moat" practices.

The short answer to your first question (in my opinion) is no, ASICs and FPGAs are not really equivalent (generally) in the context of how they are used in different applications. ASICs are baked-in circuits; once you make them, they are fixed. You can make the circuits and digital logic in them dynamic at runtime (for example, a CPU, or a more complex example, a domain-specific runtime accelerator like Sohu). An FPGA lets you reprogram the circuit inside it (via one level of extra abstraction, the logic and routing configuration inside it). In essence, an FPGA makes the ultimate tradeoff of being fully reconfigurable down to the "gate" level at the cost of other things like clock speed, area, transistor size, power, and so on. These tradeoffs may be so significant that it looks like GPUs and ASICs are worth it for deep learning inference rather than FPGA.

In general, you can implement deep learning accelerators on both FPGA and ASIC. Xilinx and now AMD have been slowly adding more and more stuff to their "FPGA chips," like an AI engine (vector processors and a network-on-chip), as well as high bandwidth memory, in addition to their configurable logic already there, to make it more viable as a possible solution for companies to deploy deep learning stuff to their devices or in applications where they want to integrate deep learning alongside regular FPGA processing stuff. I don't know how that shakes out in the industry, but I do know that lots of academics use FPGAs as a good platform for experimenting and prototyping accelerator architectures and such.
Nvidia have less moat for inference workloads since inference is modular. AMD would be mistaken to go after training workloads but that's not what they're going after.
Yes. Many people would argue that HyperCard was an offline precursor to the world wide web. Web pages are very similar to HyperCard stacks and the JavaScript 1.0 manual "cites HyperTalk as a major inspiration".
Yes, it does have a lot of limitations, though I suppose one argument would be that if Mercedes isn't willing to do autonomy without a lot of caveats that's because they're risk averse (or at least their lawyers are).
You can definitely feel the fear from Tesla's competition recently, just ahead of Tesla's robotaxi unveil on 8/8 :)

This was before the web or even Flash existed. It was a relatively simple multimedia/interactive program authoring tool for non-programmers that had WSYWIG layout. You could build all kinds of things in HyperCard from ways of interacting with databases to stories for school kids.

If you don't have expcted returns greater than the total market, you should not trade.

Your argument seems to be "yeah, assume there is no value or edge, and let's just hope for variance in our favour" is what the majority of professional traders, funds, quants, and so on are all doing. If that isn't what you meant, I'd be interested in how you clarify it: what do you think they're doing, and why?
Not sure why you were downvoted...

That's just a misunderstanding. It isn't a background colour, it's a glassy effect texture. So the "brown" is just from whatever the desktop background image was behind the window. If the second screenshot had the same desktop background and window accent tinting settings then the backgrounds would have appeared the same between screenshots.

Yes, this. linux sucks in a lot of ways. But it sucks for boring reasons I can deal with, like lack of resources, incompetence or even just ideas I disagree with. You know, just the every day inevitabilites that come with interacting with other human beings, even when they're doing their best.

But what is infinitely worse than that is, on top of all of those things still happening, also having a random chance of waking up every morning to discover that someone has very deliberately, specifically decided to make my life worse, not out of personal conviction, but because it makes a line go up somewhere in a board room on the other side of the world. That I can not deal with.

How do EU fines subsidise EU businesses?

https://competition-policy.ec.europa.eu/index/fines_en :

> Fines imposed on undertakings found in breach of EU antitrust rules are paid into the general EU budget. This money is not earmarked for particular expenses, but Member States' contributions to the EU budget for the following year are reduced accordingly. The fines therefore help to finance the EU and reduce the burden for taxpayers.

Hazel and Unison are two of the big ones. I'm friends with some of the Unison folks so I'm biased, but I really like how few features there are in the language. In general I'm just a huge sucker for subtractive improvement: if you can have a small number of awesome things (eg abilities) instead of a bunch of special case things (exception handling, monad trickery, dependency injection machinery) sign me up.

I know less about Hazel, my understanding is that it's source-code-in-CRDTs, which is definitely structured source code though may not technically be in a database.

No.

1. Be thankful to the person that made these commmits

2. Explain that comments in a language other than english are difficult for you to understand and will be difficult for other people to understand as well, in the future

3. Ask the person to re-submit the pull request with commit messages in english, warning that you'll have to reject the pull-request otherwise
"is undefined" there is rather hand-wave-y; really what that's supposed to say is that doing division by zero can do arbitrary things.

Sure, looking at the assembly it looks like the compiler has removed the 'if' branch, but, under "as if", it's equivalent to the compiler having rewritten 'a/b' to 'if (b==0) { printf("B\n"); } a/b', which strictly only modifies behavior at the UB.

And, while it may seem strange that UB results in such "copying" of code with minor alterations, that's not particularly rare at all. Take '(uint32_t)100 / someU32' on RISC-V, which'll result in -(uint64_t)1 on someU32==0 via the simple implementation of divu or divuw, despite that not being a valid uint32_t value, which'll result in significantly weird following behavior despite just being the most literal lowering.

When I went ~5 years ago, I was completely unable to use the taxi apps due to lack of Korean bank acct. This lead to being unable to even hail a cab at times - they mostly seemed to pick up fares from the apps. At one point I managed to get one of their attentions - and was told that he wouldn’t drive me because I was an “outsider”. Not sure if he was actually xenophobic, didn’t want to deal with a cash fare, didn’t want to deal with my lack of Korean, or just had a misunderstanding. A later “successful” cab ride put me going halfway across the city through the mountain. I had to call a date I’d had and get her to

I'm still working at the same company as when I wrote this, and that company is still using Haskell (now mostly Typescript instead of Elm). If I did move on I'd ideally want to keep using Haskell, or failing that some other strongly typed language.

But I don't expect that my own experience says much about the language ecosystem in general. I don't particularly have an opinion on whether or not strong types have "won", and I didn't intend to comment on that question.

> Most of the independence stories are complete B.S.

Not most. All. Including ours. All independence stories are nonsense if you bother to think about it.

> They were enabled by the US to kick out the Europeans out of their colonies.

That's some serious revisionist nonsense. Not only was the US was one of major 'european' colonizers in east asia since the early 1800s, it was also a major guarantor/protector of european colonial interests in east asia. The US fought the japanese in ww2 mainly to protect european colonial interests. Delve a little deeper than superficial propaganda. The vietnam war was the US fighting the vietnamese to protect european/french colonial interests. Heck today, the US is the major 'european' colonial power in east asia, and the rest of the world, protecting european colonial interests.

> The punchline is that this is hurting the US even more now as that keeping these governments aligned is a much harder job than imagined and they are being scooped by Chinese influence in the present day.

'Scooped by china'. What gibberish. Does that mean they were 'scooped by the US' after ww2?

I live in Canada where there are Ombudspeople and tribunals for many dispute resolution processes. Getting them involved usually lights a fire under a company's ass in my experience.

it is far preferable to hashing everything out in court (or not, if you aren't swimming in cash).

I wish the lawmakers would just step in and regulate gatekeeping on devices, rather than reviewing every dispute. I would be perfectly happy with the same model they use on my macbook for unapproved binaries. If I download a non-approved app, just let me know that it is donwloaded from the internet/not approved safe by Apple, and let me run it if I so choose.

The best I can tell from talking with insiders at a couple of his properties, is that he did a beyond bad job at “succession planning”.

> They can also do constant updates because the cars themselves are able to detect road changes, self update maps and rollout changes to the entire fleet.

Which leads to mapping failures being unchecked, as the system that generated the data is the one checking the data by driving it. See bullet point 1 in their recent recall for an example.

> 1) the object was within the the boundaries of the road and the map did not include a hard road edge between the object and the driveable surface;

> 2) the Waymo ADS’s perception system assigned a low damage score to the object;

> 3) the object was located within the Waymo ADS’s intended path (e.g. when executing a pullover near the object); and

> 4) there were no other objects near the pole that the ADS would react to and avoid.

A Case for Parallel-First Languages in a Post-Serial, Accelerated World [video]
Juries are finders of fact, not finders or interpreters of law.

Judges interpret law, and give juries specific instructions for which facts to make a determination on.

In the case of computer crime, the law treats 'getting away with it' as more or less the same act as doing it. Exfiltrating data and covering your tracks is all under the umbrella of unauthorized use of a computer system. Knowingly consulting for a particular instance of it makes you part of the conspiracy.
