In conventional physics-based engineering, there is enormous overlap between disciplines because everyone is a programmer "writing code" (building things) with a common programming language (physics) on a common hardware (reality). This language and hardware is completely fucked, and tries to thwart your plans at every step, on every level. This leads to huge amounts of brainpower, engineering, and framework "code" going into simply making your "program" compatible and stable. This naturally clamps hard on the overall output complexity of your program. Mother nature really really hates complex physical systems. A hatred that grows exponentially as complexity increases.

Software engineering on the other hand exists in a parallel space that is perfect and idealized. It's engineering that never has to leave the textbook ideal models. Mother nature has no claim in this space. This doesn't mean it is necessarily easier however. It means that all the effort typically put into just making something not burn up can now be put into complexity. So you end up with systems that are insanely complex. Engineering minds unchained by the constraints of reality, you just get complexity built on complexity serviced by complexity.

It’s harder because they’re indemnified by Purdue, and their individual liability is far from established. (The opinion and dissent both refer to a monolithic “Sacklers,” but they’re individuals and trusts and whatever.)

Yes, managing software projects had changed, I think. In particular, I see a lot of companies and software projects got influenced by Google Style of Software engineering. Which is a uniquely good fit inside Google and a bad fit outside.

Once they bring Basel, Go, Tensorflow and C++ into projects and start refactoring and perfecting theseNamesThatJustHaveToBeCorrectAtTheLevelOfExcellenceThatCanGetAPlusTwoOfXooglerPrinciple then their complexity and costs get to the level of a software engineering project at Google. Without having the quality of engineering workforce and infrastructure that Googlers enjoy.

Not a change to the better in the software sector management, in my opinion.
They aren't building libraries with it, but sustaining an underpaid workforce. Someone loses a million, a million gets a few cents.
Corporations should be the focus of your ire, not government. To the extent that government is making your life worse it's because of capture by the corporations / ultra wealthy. Taking back control of government is the only tool we have against them.
I hear what you're saying, and I also tend to think this way. But it sounds like a very cynical view of the world. As an outsider to the field (I assume), how can you so quickly dismiss their study? Is there no value in observing human behavior?

Ah, well circling back to the "words have meaning" point, that isn't a comprehensive understanding of what trust means - you're overly loading it on one aspect of the word. For example, Cambridge dictionary includes the meaning "to hope and expect that something is true" [0].

Trust doesn't require a personal choice built up over time. Some types of trust do, but that isn't a factor here as you can detected from the context. Trust is actually quite a flexible concept - you can catch some other interesting applications in security with ideas like "trusted systems" which people also may not trust in the personal sense even though they will agree that the system is trusted. That leads to awkward situations where a system can be a trusted system even if it is known to be compromised. You also get interesting things like "Trust" in the legal sense that showcase a similar flexibility.

Just to preempt a possible next comment, if you identify that one reading of a word doesn't make sense in context, the reasonable thing to do is to try the alternate readings to see which ones fit.

True, but in my experience every place that’s satisfactory on these fronts is also getting insanely expensive, even the suburban areas. I currently live in a walkable small town and COL in walkable areas is essentially the same as, say, Astoria, without nearly as many transit options or amenities.
We dont have static arrays for GC types. Creating multiple objects is always 1 by 1 and we would put them in a dynamic array. We do support non-GC structs, which allow you to create static arrays in a single allocation. I havent spent much time on this problem yet. I might figure it out in the future, but it's kinda low-priority for me.

US fighter jets flying formations around Lviv in 2016 was a clearly offensive move and was part of the strategy of trying to push the line further East and pressure Russia by removing Ukraine's neutrality.

The US will fight Russia this way till the last Ukrainian. It's a cynical policy and I feel badly for all of the people whose hearts are moved by the heroism of those in Ukraine fighting for their country. Alas the war was started by the US and the US does not care at all about Ukrainian suffering or Ukrainian lives. The whole project is just supposed to be a way for the US to harm Russia in a cost effective and politically feasible way.

Wasm GC works great in Firefox. It's Safari/WebKit that need to catch up! It's been over 6 months since Chrome and Firefox enabled Wasm GC in stable releases and we're still waiting for Safari.
That would be my dream. Another comment highlights that Go's memory management may not be a good fit for WasmGC, so we may not get near-native performance, which would be a bummer.
Are you talking about the Sacklers as individuals, a family unit, or in their capacity as decision-makers for Purdue? There seem to be a relatively complex set of incentives and options in each of these capacities.
Let's enter fantasy land for a moment and assume that we even can ascertain whether someone is "100% known to be guilty" without a trial. Say we have a crystal ball that we can just ask. That person still is entitled to representation to ensure that all the proper procedure was followed (was the law somehow broken when the crystal ball was consulted? was the crystal ball accurately calibrated and configured? is it a real crystal ball and not a knock-off that always says "guilty"?).

Even if there was no crystal ball! The defendant admitted and signed a confession. He still needs a defense. Was the confession forced or obtained under duress? Did the defendant know what he was confessing to?

And even if there was no crystal ball, the defendant confessed voluntarily and understood fully what he confessed to, cooperatively admitted everything to the point where there is zero chance of reasonable doubt. He still needs a defense. Who is going to ensure that a fair punishment is imposed? Without a defense attorney and proper procedure, what stops the judge from simply imposing the maximum sentence for everyone?

Bottom left $ is the value of each star system trust. Top Left $ is a high score = # sols collected x total trust value.

Why is javascript slower than java?

uhhhh I don't think there is actually a real answer in that paragraph that compares PERFORMANCE of JS to JAVA.

that explanation is completely unhinged?
I hear this in C++ too since we can't use exceptions here. "Unlike some other toy languages, we don't ignore errors, we handle them head-on." Uh no you don't, in fact it took a lot to make people stop ignoring errors or "handling" errors by crashing the entire service.

But at least we have a rule checking that you actually did something with the return statuses.
This is probably coming to CSS in the coming years. [0] Which makes me very excited for one reason: CSS is nearing feature parity (and surpassing it in some areas) with Adobe InDesign, so we can finally ditch adobe and just make print publications within the browser. The only other thing missing after custom colour profiles is a proper text justification algorithm, although, for many, it's not so important because people are already used to reading ragged text.

> I think what you said only depends on the minimum being relatively flat (instead of deep); but it doesn't matter whether it's global or local

No. There is no such thing as a "global minimum" energy conformation, because the conditions vary wildly. Many protein structure changes are brought about by changes in the local chemical potentials and even electric fields. This is not something you can get a good grip on by thinking in terms of "flat minima".
Hey! I'm Thomas, the founder of Syncd, and it's just me working on this project right now. I’ve set up a "contact us" approach for pricing because I don't know what to charge for each customer (generic price, we aren't big enough to determine that yet). I want to speak with companies and understand their specific needs. This way, I can get a better sense of how many webhook events you send and what kind of features you’re looking for.

I’m open to any suggestions on what you think is fair and honest pricing for a service like this.

I love seeing commercial activity around using Postgres as a queue. Last year I wrote a post titled "Choose Postgres queue technology" that spent quite a bit of time on the front page here. I don't think it's likely that my post actually sparked new development in this area, but for the people who were already using Postgres queues in their applications, I hope it made them feel more comfortable talking about it in public. And I've seen a notable increase in public discussions around the idea, and they're not all met with derision. There's long been a dogma around Postgres and relational databases being the wrong tool for the job, and indeed they are not perfect, but neither is adding Redis or RabbitMQ to our software stacks simply to support queue use cases. Kudos to the Hatchet team! I hope you all find success.
> what is "long term satisfaction" and how to find it?

The problem with that question is that it usually requires time travelling ;) You need to first experience things and then look back and see if they felt fulfilling or satisfactory to know for sure.

There's an approximation you can have. You can now look back at you currently accumulated history of various things you have tried already. Find ones which you remember liking (like as in being satisfactory) then and still like now. Try to sketch patterns out of those experiences. (You can do the same with stuff you don't like, obviously) From that, extrapolate and "guesstimate" what activities you find meaningful and fulfilling. Try pursuing those and seeing how it goes. Rinse and repeat in a few years and correct your assumptions.

Gmail works fine as a service, it’s the company behind it (and how they make the money to fund it) that I don’t like. I think I’d need a few months off work to really get off of Gmail, and even then, I’d probably monitor it for a few years before actually deleting it.

I had 3 or 4 other Gmail account that I recently deleted. Though 1 is still pending, because Rockstar and Sony both make it impossible to delete/close accounts.

Pound? What country are you from? Why are people so sneaky? Hiding behind 'the west'.

What? None of what you wrote applies to the US and none of it has anything to do with free speech. It applies to woke social media. What does 'porn tag' have to do with free speech? Besides, my point was being jailed or punished by the government.

It also assumes that you have exactly as much stuff as will fit into a single dishwasher, and that you go through it all at the same rate, such that when the "dirty" dishwasher is full, the "clean" one becomes empty enough that it can switch roles.

Right now, our dishwasher's top rack is full of top rack stuff, whereas the bottom rack has two dishes and a coffee cup. I guess we go ahead and run it, and then... move everything from the second dishwasher to that one? This is definitively more work.

In Redwood City (easiest dmv test route I know of), they ask you if you want freeway on the test, you say no and they cross off that whole section. The parallel parking section is done on a completely empty block and the only way to screw that up is to park blocking someone's driveway.

As to why freeway is easier: maybe not as a very new driver, but as soon as you're comfortable handling a car you can get on the freeway and the mental processing loop is much easier. Just follow the car ahead at a safe distance for the speed. Very little else, can be done with just half a brain while you think about other things.
The thing about Kubernetes is: Its a cloud in a box. It re-implements a ton of the functionality that cloud platforms already offered. But, no one wants to host their own kubernetes, so you go to AWS/GCP/Azure, and you just end up duplicating everything.

But I think the industry is waking up to this; there's just a lot of sunk cost. Kubernetes makes a ton of sense, for some organizations, but if you're not hosting your own machines in a data center somewhere, its probably not for your organization and you'll always be better off just using the highest abstraction level non-k8s primitives your cloud provider offers.

React: Is in a different league. React solves legit problems. UI is hard. React doesn't create zero problems of its own, and some of those problems are of the "we thought redux was the best way to think about this, we were wrong, but now there's a billion lines of redux out there" variety, which sucks because it was self-inflicted. Also, you've got the Vercel folks entirely convinced they're God's Gift to Humanity steering the ship in directions no one really wants. But the core of React is really good: fn(state)->ui.
