My guess from external observations is that the reward and bonus structure inside Microsoft is entirely decoupled from customer feedback and response. The middle managers are in charge of the product and they're fully insulated from any concerns outside of getting this years maximum bonus for themselves.

Monopolies always destroy innovation.

"actively want to repeat history, mistakes and all. They think then was better than now"

Well, you said it, they think it was better, so they don't want to repeat misstakes, but have a different perception of that time. Or they just refuse to acknowledge anything that does not fit their ancient Utopia. No matter how bloody it was.

Personally I am strongly drawn to neolithic times. But I know that so little is known, that all the good I think I see, might be projection into a void. And the actual history something very different (human sacrifices, slavery, ..)

But yeah, when people nowdays talk about reviving fascism in a new light, I think they activly supress reality as we do have good information about this recent time and what it means going that way.

I'm not aware of any difference in bash between vendor distributions for which this is true.
even if total compensation was decreasing, the results for the company can be improved by being able to provide their services at a lower price point by cutting costs.

cutting costs is not "screwing workers". cutting costs is key to acting in a competitive market.
To be fair, a GUI can be used in a very clever and skillful manner. It's called keyboard shortcuts (and, to a lesser extent, mouse gestures). You can't deny an Excel world champion uses its GUI in a highly impressive way. And features like multiple carets editing (as popularized by Sublime Text) makes it possible to perform some remarkable editing feats. :)

Not true- as an individual you are liable for everything you do.

Incorporation shields personal assets from corporate liability and usually shields corporate officers, and in any case corporate officers usually have officers & directors insurance, so they are largely unaffected by lawsuits.

Not to mention the sheer scale difference- having to fight a lawsuit can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars; most individuals can’t afford to fight legally, either offensively or defensively, like most corporations can.
This doesn’t surprise me. I found an information exposure vuln on the user registration endpoint a while ago (given a phone number of an authy user who had previously registered via another customer, retrieve all other numbers/devices/timestamps, email addresses and other info for that user).

It took them two years to fix it.

But for many the drawbacks of ranked choice systems are far more preferable to those of FPTP. Additionally, Arrow's theorem only states that the spoiler effect cannot be completely eliminated by ranked choice - it says nothing about how often such an event actually occurs, and in practice spoiler candidates will occur less frequently with ranked choice systems compared to FPTP.

Additionally, rated choice voting systems are not subject to Arrow's theorem.

> Also, it is far from clear what entropy exactly means – let alone how it can be measured in the brain

This is a gripe I have with modern information theory and how it is taught. Modern information theory says that entropy is related to the number of possibilities in a system (gleaned from Shannon's example of the electron valence.) I INSIST however that the only accurate definition of entropy is the distribution of potential over negative potential (whether heat or information or electron valence, that is the phenomenon.) you can see, more neural connections does mean more possible outcomes yet it does not have anything (in this case) to do with calculating probability based on the distribution of possibilities (see?) for the record true entropy contains all anticipated possibilities IN ADDITION TO those not anticipated, such as cosmic rays, or dumb luck, or physiological breakdown, or whatever. Not just known options.

It's a big miss for the casual convenience of a scripter/non-programmer. A Pythonic way to do a remote procedure call is XMLRPC (pseudocode):

import xmlrpc
svr = xmlrpc.connect('http://remote/')
result = svr.add(1, 2)

The C# way is to use the Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation (WFC) Client Proxy using the Service Model Metadata Utility Tool and the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) and XML Schema Definition Language (XSD) files from the remote server, declare a public interface attributed as a Service Contract referencing a namespace, generate a class which inherits from the generic ClientBase<TChannel> and implements the new interface, create an instance of said WCF client and call its methods. (Or rely on Visual Studio magic to hide all that) - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/wcf/acces...

In any decision, Python goes for "What would Guido do?" and C# gets some union of "what would a committee of Microsoft, IBM, Oracle do?", "What would impress Gartner?", "What is Microsoft legally obliged to do, and backwards-compatibly required to do?", "What would we do if we tried to do everything everyone needs all in one?", "What would Java do?", "What would a large team need to design and maintain a stable, typed, large system for years?".

PowerShell is on top of that; there's no simple included graphing and drawing, no simple hooks into Windows own voice recognition and OCR, and definitely not into whatever magically good ones newer Office / Cloud is using, no casual email or spreadsheet handling, no Visual Basic style form building, no simple data science; there's a few things you can do or download, generally less convenient than a Python equivalent. And Microsoft are leaving it all 'to the community' but the community is using Python so that's where the Excel power-user who wants to script a couple of things will go.
Mixed emotions may not be mixed after all
it seems clear to me from first principles and from experience [0] that the result from voluntary compensation sharing skews low compared to the actual population. it's the people who want to complain about low wages who participate in such schemes.

that's not to say sharing wages is bad. this can still provide upward pressure on said wages. but the people who participate in the beginning are likely from the lower end of the distribution.

[0] websites like levels.fyi seem to consistently skew low when estimating higher percentiles
I didnt see it noted in the article, but this is specific for the monohull category.

The trimaran Banque Populaire V [1] has the unrestricted record at 3d 15h 25min 48s and 33 knots [2]. This is pretty staggering when you compare it to something like the transatlantic voyage of Christopher Columbus at ~61 days.

Banque Populaire V was more than twice the length and sail area of the Santa Maria, but ~15% the weight.

Although as far as that graph reflects the the study’s results, the new distribution looks almost perfectly balanced: even more people experienced a “10%+” bump than a 10%+ reduction post-update.

I think we just don't have very much competition in telecommunications so things never get fixed. Why bother? It's easier to extract rent off largely the same offerings as the rest of your market (difficult to understand pricing tiers that function as a congestion tax more than a transaction, often region-specific monopolies or duopolies, indistinguishable quality of service) and bring home large profits, market efficiency damned.

Yes, I'm exaggerating. No, it's not by much.

AI washing: Silicon Valley's big new lie
I don’t know if I’m taking Kafka too literally here, but the books that I read that bite and sting probably fall into two categories. Things that are cynically written in bad faith and things that are hopeless and callous. Torture porn bites and stings, reading hacky partisan politics bites and stings. Anything that makes me feel stupider after reading it bites and stings.

The things that I think that he wants to say, the inconvenient truths, the things that make me see the world in a whole new way, that challenge everything I believe in. Those things fill me with joy and wonder they are just so few and far between.

Maybe the thing he’s getting at is the existential dread? The truth that nothing you do is meaningful? The staring into the abyss? In which case maybe in moderation, but I fundamentally disagree.

in a sense I wonder, if this is what he means, what a weird way to view life, that those things that challenge you are negative.

This. From worker's point of view it's irrational to work hard if the pay sucks. Good management should realize that, and demand less from underpaid workers. Embrace the culture of laziness, or pay a fair wage.
Wind. Wind, by itself, without storage, isn't great for our version of civilization. However, it'd totally be workable for 19th c, at least, if not early 20th c. If there were clever storage solutions, you could run our civilization, but at a lower per capita energy budget, to begin with.
There is a Rust tool named `generate-release` within the website repository[0]. It handles interacting with the Github API to get a list of significant changes, breaking changes, and contributors. (The main Bevy repository has pull request labels for all of these, so this is pretty easy.)

"If the book we are reading does not wake us up with a blow to the head, then why read the book?" --

That's the authorial feeling of self-importance making itself visible.
Why read the book?
Because it might be enjoyable, a pastime, something that makes us dream, reflect, cry, or connect some dots in our lives through a parallel representation of feelings or ideas.
There are many reasons, and the "blow to the head" will not and should not be the main reason, especially for older people who have seen some water flowing under the bridge and see the shock factor as artfully constructed and therefore much less provocative than the author intended it to be.

My personal experience with "smart" thermostats is that my electric bill went up.

By "smart" I just mean programmable. I had settings for morning, daytime (nobody home), evening, and night. It makes no sense but my total costs went up.

That's not correct, at least for "digitally-born PDFs" that were made on a computer and haven't been scanned. In that case, the PDF can be parsed directly, without OCR, to get text. That's what a tool like PyPDF2 does, for example.

It is ironic that this is probably the main reason that alternative operating systems even exist.
You are doing the exact thing that makes this discussion impossible. You are conflating speech (sounds that come out of my mouth) with physical violence (broadly illegal). The malleability of the definition of "hate speech" is the implied premise in every one of these debates, because without it your arguments make no sense. You even included a helpful hint in your original post.

>You can just look at the US, how’s the unfettered hate and disinformation working out over there?

You are drawing a comparison here that goes something like "the US doesn't have draconian hate speech laws like some countries in Europe, and as a result there are political outcomes I don't like".

It's working out fine, by the way.

> - rose tree "integrated shrinking" (eg. Hedgehog) follows the constraints of the generators, but has issues with monadic bind.

We're at the limits of my amateur knowledge, but I believe this is a fundamental limitation of monadic bind/generators. Instead, you should prefer applicative generators for optimal shrinking. https://github.com/hedgehogqa/haskell-hedgehog/issues/473#is...

In other words, applicative generators do not use "results of generators to dispatch to another generator", but instead shrinking is optimal due to the "parallel" nature of applicatives (I'm using "parallel" in the monadic sense, and not the sense of article's "threading" sense). Since applicatives are "parallel", they can shrink the generators independently. (Whereas monadic generators are in "series" and therefore shrinking one necessarily changes the behavior of the subsequent generator, as you noted.)

Please feel free to link your talk if it's public!
Ask HN: How to make the most of an undergraduate computer science program?
I will be starting university to pursue a computer science degree in the Fall. I have already taken college level computer science courses and have read many books on topics from operating systems to computer graphics.

This release has Observer and Hooks which in my opinion really elevate the ability to express complex, reusable structures in the ECS.

For example, one of the well-known challenges in the paradigm is working with hierarchies or graphs - observers are a powerful tool for communicating between specific entities, and should make this a lot easier to express.

Hooks offer the ability to enforce cross-component consistency in a way that wasn’t previously available.

I'm a senior dev, but in the last interview I did, they asked me to bring a project/piece of code I'm proud of, and talk them through it. I have a couple of side projects I work on, so I shared one of those. It was a lot of fun to share something I cared about, and explain every decision I made.

I think the employer got a great opportunity to see how I work, and I got a chance to show off the best side of my skills. Unfortunately, I bombed the technical assessment and didn't get an offer. However, the hiring manager did connect with me after the interview and seemed happy with how I performed in the sharing segment of the interview.

I hope more interviews are run in that manner - so my advice is, have some public code always available that you're ready to share with anyone who asks.

What is seen as "good work ethic" is absolutely a cultural thing, and at least partially explains economic success (or lack of) in many countries. The Japanese aren't protestant, but they have other elements in their culture that encourage hard work as a virtue.

I take joy in projects that I actually find meaningful. Being an underpaid cog in the machine, working on JIRA tasks visioned by someone else isn't meaningful. Lack of adequate pay makes me feel underappreciated, and frankly destroys any motivation I could otherwise have. So no, I'm doing the bare minimum and don't feel bad about it. I treat my employer like it treats me, that's called justice.
