> Believe it or not, being hired to work on a big ball of mud can be pretty chill.

Probably depends on how big the ball is and how messy the mud. If you’re not careful, you might find yourself drowning in a whole swamp instead: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18442941

Once you have to dig through dozens of files full of hacks and bad abstractions just to make basic changes and even then the insufficient test suite prevents you from being confident in any positive outcome (the example above at least had good tests, often you don’t even get that much), maybe things aren’t going great.

That said, you can definitely write good monoliths and even codebases with technical debt can be pleasant, as long as things are kept as simple as possible.
It just validates what these groups say about such people. "If these degenerates can act with such brazen illegality against our computer systems, just imagine what they're doing with your children!"

But on the other hand I doubt gay furries actually did this hack. More likely it was edgy teenagers who constantly use homophobic slurs in their Discord servers and are just saying it was done by gay furries to be funny.

Most of the books are bloated PDFs. I'm slowly working on a project to reliably convert PDF to DjVu, which on average yields a highly readable document that's 33% of the original size on disk. The project is proving difficult, as the tooling for DjVu is quite moldy now, and often needs to be manually reviewed to ensure the file remains readable. Pdf2djvu exists, but it's highly unreliable, and thus can't be used in bulk. Other ebook formats are XML-based and tend to be similarly bloated due to the overhead of the markup. It's a hard problem with so little in the way of good file format choices.

Humans 'see' by tightly packed rods and cones in the retina sending signals up the optic nerve. Not as tidy as a mathematical array but nonetheless not all that different. Ultimately what comes to the brain from the retina can be thought of as a data structure of sorts.
That would imply that women aren't deserving of the promotion, and that aggressive posturing is somehow a requirement for the job (and women get a free pass).

However, if the book is any indication, Tanya is a great staff engineer, probably among the best of any gender.

This of course begs the question: could it be that discriminating against men who don't display the stereotypical behaviors is detrimental to diversity? And increasing the number of women may actually help here: they may be able to empathize with people who don't fit the traditional mold.

That used to be true now it’s worse. My hospital system and health insurer play chicken every 12-24 months. I’ll get letters saying I can’t see my doctor anymore, then they go up until some midnight deadline, make a deal, and I get an email saying I can still go to the doctor.

Sometimes it doesn’t work out through! You could have the same job, health insurance, and doctor for a decade - and ooops! The next day you have to drive an hour away to see some new doctor you never met before who isn’t as good as your doctor.

And that all comes down to this financial gamesmanship between hospitals and insurers. It’s nuts, literally the dumbest combination of petty greed and literal life altering decisions possible.

Or completely invisible (well mostly) perspectives based on sexuality, etc as well.

There's pretty much never been a call for more diversity in terms of queer developers that I've seen.

Even at my current job, women in tech is a big thing that we try to do a lot about, but I feel scared to bring up that there's more to diversity than race and gender.
Grotesque.

> Chicken Soup was able to pay back some of those owed wages this week after obtaining a so-called debtor-in-possession loan from HPS, but Pachulski told the court that the loan wasn’t even enough to cover everyone’s health insurance. The company had also failed to make payroll taxes for the past 9 months, and didn’t pay for its employee’s health insurance for 2.5 months prior to filing for bankruptcy.
However, it continued to deduct employee health insurance contributions from paychecks, and allegedly kept 401k contributions as well. “If that’s the case, I find it sickening, frankly, that money was taken from the paychecks from these people, and not put it where it belonged,” judge Horan said Wednesday. “It’s incredibly disturbing.”
“The massive mismanagement … this is beyond the pale of anything I have seen,” agreed Pachulski. “I think what has been done here is criminal, to be very frank.”

I started out firmly against large companies. My ideal team is 10-20 engineers, in person, hyper focused and all on the same page with mutual respect. Minimal or no product manager types.

But I’m also sick of hearing how these teams can “ship” so fast. Yeah you can ship, you have no customers. No users, no SLAs, no employees. Good work, you just did whatever you wanted and then typed “git push” to a repo you control, with standards you control, and a build process you control. Wow those stodgy big co’s could learn something from you!

This is a similar convo to “why use Kubernetes”. Do you have one binary and one database with one password? Go nuts with your single VPS and bash scripts and keep telling yourself that everyone is over complicating it. But are you scaling? You’ll probably need some orchestration. You’ll probably need some managers, a ticket system, on-call, standard build tools. Documentation.

Scaling to billions with a team of 20 is a fantasy achieved only by the select few. As always it is a fine line companies should tread lightly. Don’t rush to hire, but don’t be afraid of it either. Focus on scaling intentionally and carefully.
This reminds me of some coworkers I had that moaned anytime they saw 'template' in some code. They were convinced that templates were just bad, and that they should stay in the STL. Some of these people would then proceed to use void* and enums to perform the same computations (the C++ haters kind), or use virtual functions all over the place (the java-background kind). Not only was the result much more fragile (compile errors are now runtime errors), but it would also prevent inlining, not to mention the dynamic memory allocation fest.
You'll likely be in way over your head with the COBOL project.

> One of my biggest everyday QoL upgrade is men's casual pants finally getting elastane.

I don't know if it's elastane but I've definitely seen QoL improvements in clothing compared to 35 years ago (back when I was a teenagers).

Underwear are soooo soft. And they fit perfectly. Same for t-shirts. Same for socks.

I don't know what makes some clothes so comfy (and requiring no ironing either btw) but there's "something" that makes lots of clothes simply better nowadays.

And they last too: I'm the kind of person who hates shopping (which drives my wife mad) so when I find something I like, I'll buy three or five of them (which drives my wife even madder). I've got some pieces I have since years and years (that one is nearly divorce reason ;) Sometimes I find a five years old picture and think: "Oh I already had that thing back then!?".

Yeah, many clothes are just simply better now.
A fun thing is that e.g. "cmp ax, 0x4231" differs from "cmp eax, 0x87654321" only in the presence of the data16 prefix, and thus the longer immediate; and it's the only significant case (I think?) of a prefix changing the total instruction size, and thus, for some such instructions, the 16-bit version, sometimes (but not always!) is significantly slower. "but not always" as in, if you try to microbenchmark a loop of such, sometimes you can have entire microseconds of it consistently running at 0.25 cycles/instr avg, and sometimes that same exact code (in the same process!) will measure it at 3 cycles/instr (tested on Haswell, but uops.info indicates this happens on all non-atom Intel since Ivy Bridge).
You can regularize the networks to make them transfer easier. I can't remember the abstract's title off the top of my head though.

I dunno I take issue with (b), I think you're leaning too hard on "obviously". IMO it's reasonable to say that like 70MPH is the fastest a car is allowed to possibly go on public roads and cap it there. Possibly I lack imagination, but what's the actual harm that results from that? I can see cases where it would be inconvenient, but actually harmful in a way that warrants an exemption? On its face that seems pretty unlikely (to me).

Moreover, you continue to frame this as a 'subtractive' restriction, taking away something that a person has access to by default. But technology regulation like this is capping the 'additive' function of a tool. Cars add to your capabilities, and this regulation limits the extent to which they do that. Circling back to my previous point, it's tough for me to think of a case where limitations applied to your technological augmentation qualify as a 'harm', especially given the nature of the specific tech.

Just an fyi, I have shot myself in the foot with Sublime's version of this. I became dependent on using unnamed/unsaved documents for quick notes, then at some interval I would clean up. And because Sublime would remember, I could rest safe that they would be there even if closed and reopened until I cleaned them up myself. Well, I also got so hooked on Sublime, I set it as my default system text editor. Then, (more than once), I would click a downloaded text file or something that would open in another window. Then after browsing or something I would be back in my original Sublime window. Close it for the day and as I was closing other windows realize there is another Sublime window still open with that document that I read early ... and all my other temp notes were gone! If you are good at grepping you can still find the files cached on your system with a little work, but something to watch out for. Or just get used to saving files somewhere.

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if early heat seeking missiles used just a PID controller, since a big part of what makes PID attractive is the ability to implement it with electrical components. Take a pair of IR photodiodes and wire them such that their difference is the error of your PID control, wire the output of the PID to the steering on your missile, and suddenly you have a missile that points at the nearest IR target (on one axis of course).

Modern missiles do better than this, but a missile wired this way with a proximity fuse would hit the target a reasonable amount of the time. Not silly at all if you haven’t invented microcontrollers yet.

There's no "agree to disagree" when you're doing something that (whether you intend it that way or not) will end up scamming people. Don't tell people your code is open source when it's not open source. Don't tell people your code is free when it's not free. It's not entitlement to expect people to keep their word, even if you didn't pay them.
We should also consider the effects of trauma on those brains. If you’ve ever spent time around people with extreme trauma they are very much in their own heads and can’t focus outside themselves long enough to focus enough to learn anything. It definitely impacts intellectual capacity. Humans are social animals and anyone raised without proper socializing and intimacy and nurturing will inevitably end up traumatized.

Perhaps, but I've seen it directed towards numerous female engineers, from less senior engineers who were noticeably deferential to male engineers, at or below the seniority of the female engineer.

I think there's this perception amongst male would-be engineers that starts in college or earlier that women in that space are not sincere enough in their desire to become engineers, are physiologically incapable of doing the work at the same level as men, or that women have entered the space by means unrelated to the mastery of the materials.
Interesting, I've seen live demos working fairly well. I've also implemented something adjacent to the work and it works quite well too. I'm not sure why you had a hard time with it.

I am however working in a domain where verification isn't subjective so I know a good response from a bad response fairly easily. Things like this depend quite heavily on the model being used too in my experience.

I think this thread has gotten quite deep without anyone engaging with my original point: capacity-varying links are really only a thing right next to the user, and even actual drops are mostly next to the user too. I've explained why within Google user-facing packets rarely drop and suggested other content providers have similar mechanisms.

I said this:

> the entire network is oversubscribed...and running out of capacity regularly in practice? No way.

and you took that to mean "the network is not oversubscribed"? and this is what you're focusing on? No, the "...and" was the important part. Forget the word oversubscribed. It's a word you introduced to the conversation, and it's a distraction. I don't care about the theoretical potential for congestion; I care about where congestion mostly happens in practice.
