Enabling Kotlin Multiplatform Success: The Android Jetpack Journey [video]
To read about the real, original Avant-Garde, I recommend "The Banquet Years: The Origins of the Avant-Garde in France - 1885 to World War I" by Roger Shattuck. It's a great book about a true revolution in the arts.

The situationists were (in my personal opinion) non-productive poseurs. Too much bound in the manifesto and not equal to the times they lived in.

Perhaps to one side, at the end of the situationists time, ex-anarchist Daniel Cohn-Bendit started levering the cobblestones up to make barricades and wound up a TV pundit and Co-opeted into the state political arena of the EU. Regis Debray was critical of Situationists. Tariq Ali likewise. I don't think they were as smart, or useful as they thought.

Organised Labour movements have little need of public intellectuals, and their postures.
For just calls to time.Now, sure.

Once you've done that same "make a low-tech simple replacement" for all of sleep, context deadlines, tickers, AfterFuncs, etc all of which are quite commonly used... you've basically done everything these libraries do. At about the same level of complexity.
I agree with everything you say.

Are you North American? I found OP largely to be a curiosity to American performers and audiences, but a revelation and a revolution to people in the UK who have only ever associated Shakespeare with RP. At least, that's how it was over a decade ago when I first performed in OP there.

I remember once being in a workshop with a Scottish actor who did a creditable job at a speech from Maccers in his drama-school (ie, RP) voice, was much better in OP, and then just about broke down (out of character, for real) when asked to repeat it in his own native Edinburgh dialect. It was - get this - the first time ever in his life that he'd spoken Shakespeare in anything other than RP. It (has?) had such a strong, elitist grip on Shakespe-ah, that OP was received very differently (I was on the receiving end of some of the hostile reactions, too!) in the UK.
To some, children are not important, and that is okay. Those who do want children should of course have a robust support system and accommodations made available, but those who don’t should be equally empowered to not have them. Unwanted children are an enormous source of suffering in the aggregate.
I think the defining characteristic is that you can play in different roles within the same game world. Flight simulator is not an rpg, you're always a pilot. Likewise, the content react to your character. Diablo 4 doesn't have any dialogue or level related to character choices, it's an action game with a skill tree.
Upon reflection, it’s interesting that you leapt to describing my “flaw” as a burning desire to identify a “flaw”, when of course I did no such thing. But you did. That’s a common trope amongst evolutionists: “when I make unfounded assumptions based on my belief about X, it’s correct; when you do, it’s a flaw”. Of course you think it’s correct – it was your assumption in the first place! Enlightenment comes when you can count your assumptions.
Recently I’ve been exploring back Perl. I loved it many years ago and today I just need “glue”.

It seems to be quite fast, can escape UNIX-Linux idiosyncrasies and I still can see all the magic variables in the code after those years.

Maybe it’s better to just get back into Perl instead of figuring out how to pipe back to back to few applications and jq on top?

Are you sure about this? It seems suspiciously self-reinforcing.
> To me, an RPG, has always meant the latter (choose [attack, magic, item] from a menu). Wizardry, Bard's Tale (Apple II), FF7 are RPGs. A Link to the Past, Link's Adventure, Breath of the Wild, are not.

You're talking about several categories of CRPGs.

The likes of Bard's Tale, the old D&D RPGs (eg Pool of DArkness) and the Wizardry series are turn-based RPGs.

Zelda BotW and Skyrim OTOH are what I'd call real-time RPGs.

But both are clearly RPGs. The key aspect of the RPG is that you play a character in a virtual world. Other comments tried to claim that Flight Sim is an RPG by some definitions. It isn't. You're flying a plane. An RPG would be you as the pilot or co-pilot where there is gameplay outside of flying.

There are common tropes in RPGs like XP, levels, stats and better items but these aren't necessary. Nor is magic. Even in a fantasy world.

Compare this to, say, a pure fantasy arena game wher eall you do is combat. Even with progression it's not an RPG.

I generally prefer turn-based RPGs and strategy games. I particularly hate RTS games that require hummingbird level APS. I play games to chill out. But Breath of the Wild is an exception to that rule. BotW is truly one of the most amazing games ever made. The feeling you have as you wander Hyrule is so rarely achieved in any game.

It's also worth adding that BotW is what I would call "JRPG lite". It has many JRPG elements but it's more mainstream than that IMHO.

What opportunity? To be one of the 2% rockstars? To earn 2x median in a city with a CoL 2.5x? End up in mid-late middle age and realize you're going to die alone if you don't act (ladies: if you get here you are screwed on fertility; do not get here unless you 100% intend to)? What is the opportunity value of a spouse and five grown and integrated children when you're 62 and joints worn out? Likely not ending up in a nursing home unless you were an asshat disciplinarian. Government and pension could collapse and you would be relatively peachy. See? Lots of benefits and your children appreciate over time as investments, unlike most things you can blow your opportunity-money on!

One day you will lose your biological faculties and then some day soon after you will die. Caveat emptor, and plan accordingly.

There are some sharp corners that I've run into periodically (e.g. it can't observe tickers, they're just an always-present Waiter) that I've been trying to figure out how to resolve in a new library, but overall I've been happier with clockwork than with any other I've seen so far.

Quartz looks quite interesting though. Gonna have to explore it in detail, because I agree with most of their claims in the article. I'm not 100% sold on their solutions being actual solutions and not just "often an improvement", but that'll probably be clear after using it for a bit / reading it in detail.

Digital I/Q demodulator (1996) [pdf]
Abstract:

I/Q demodulation is a common and useful RF signal processing technique used in charged-particle accelerators. When implemented with conventional analog RF components, a number of inherent errors can degrade the I/Q Demodulator performance, including gain balance, quadrature-phase balance, DC offsets, impedance match, and carrier leakage. Recent advances in high-speed analog-to-digital (ADC) converters allow the I/Q demodulator to be implemented digitally, greatly reducing these systematic errors. This paper describes the design of a digital I/Q demodulator that will be applied to the PEP-II B factory.
My experience is that when used with cross-team members as level of effort, discussed with each story and receives a high confidence vote (fist of five), then measured against each team members capacity (measured over several sprints), story points serve a valuable way to manage work.

They do not equate to hours and cannot be boxed by management expectations.

Management can separately track actuals (hours), but that really should never concern the team.

> is far easier for most people

I’d say that writing single-threaded code is far easier for _all_ people, even async code experts :)

Also, single-threaded code is supported by programming language facilities: you have a proper call stack, thread-local vars, exceptions bubbling up, structured concurrency, simple resource management (RAII, try-with-resources, defer). Easy to reason and debug on language level.

Async runtimes are always complicated, filled with leaky abstractions, it’s like another language that one has to learn in addition, but with a less thought-out, ad-hoc design. Difficult to reason and debug, especially in edge cases
The benefits from virtual threads come from the simple API that it presents to the programmer. It's not a performance optimization.
Way too long of a video, honestly I'm not watching that guy. He makes me feel deeply depressed and despairing. I know what's wrong with the industry, but I still love making software. Just leave me be.

==

I recently said fuck it to points, and am trying to push this system:

- 1 "point" is anything between 0.5 and 1 person-day of work

- 2 is 1-2 person-days. etc...

- 0.5 means "less than a few hours, from starting the task to merging the PR".

Any ticket <1 point is not included in projections or estimates of "velocity" (which now should be close to 1 person-day * # team members, per day)

This system allows us to do realistic projections, even if our estimates are totally off. How, might you ask, is that possible?

Because if it takes a 3-person team 30 days to complete 45 points of work, then we know we're underestimating all our work by a factor of two. That's a super easy thing to address in retros. "Hey team, why is our work taking twice as long as we estimated? Great, let's account for that in the next cycle. Thanks. Retro over."

No more dick-measuring contests between teams. No more asinine discussions about "story points" or my personal pet-peeve, Fibonacci points.

As an industry that wants to be taken seriously by other engineers, we HAVE TO GET BETTER AT ESTIMATES. I don't care what the Mythical Man-Month says - software HAS to become more predictable to make. We HAVE TO find best practices, and know how to make software of a particular type, repeatably and consistently. We HAVE TO make use of statistics to estimate our work, like every other engineering discipline does. For an industry that supposedly came from a field that could be said is "applied math" at its core, we are absolutely, pathetically LOUSY at using math properly in order to make decisions.
yes, there are troy pounds, they are 12 troy ounces (not 16 ounces, like normal (avoirdupois) pounds)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy_weight

180 avoirdupois pounds is 2,625 ounces troy. The gold price is around $2470/ounce troy today, so $2470*2625 ~= $6.483 million
If security is top priority, to me it starts from deciding what kind of data actually needs to be stored. Then the service is designed from that perspective.

More sensitive data I need store, more I need to think about security as well (and more expensive it gets).

If it's obvious that the service doesn't have much worth of hacking for, it's already better starting point than if I know it's going to be hack attraction.
Also: truckers (largest single occupational category in many classifications), cabbies, trades workers, etc., etc. If you're in a captive market, whether that's airports, convention centres, motorway service areas, lunch wagon, lunchroom, etc., your choices are going to be limited.

On business travellers vs. truckers, I'm finding ~ 3.5 million truckers in the US, who all but certainly eat on the road at least one meal per day (local) and more likely 3+ (long-haul). <https://schneiderjobs.com/blog/truck-drivers-in-usa>.

For corporate travel: there are ~400 million long-distance business trips annually <https://www.trondent.com/business-travel-statistics/>. Trips-per-person is harder to find, though one source gives 6.8 trips/year, which gives 60 million travellers/year. So that's more than truckers ... but it's a lot fewer trips (and meals). I'd put money on there being more trucker meals-out than business travelers'.

Fleshing out further: we really want trips per year, for each classification. I'm going to assume truckers are on the road 250 days/year (roughly 5 days/week) ... we'll do variance after in case I'm wrong. That gives 3.5 million * 250 or 875 million trucker trips/year, more than double the business air travel number. We could cut trucker travel in half and still be somewhat above the business air travel trips figure.

In my opinion, I think that assigning days to story points and breaking down task/sub-task to fit within a max of 5 days solves most of the problems. Yes, every task can't be estimated correctly but it does help in tracking things.
I'm not suggesting you build a a whole build system with python (which is basically bazel and it seems to be good enough for google.)

Here is a study that gives a completely encyclopedic coverage of the context, data, and knowledge of the time. [1] If you're at all interested in this topic, I'd strongly encourage checking it out. It is the most extensively informative paper, on any topic, that I have ever seen, by far. I have no idea how many years the author spent collecting the data he presents there but it was clearly a labor of love.

For some relevant points: in Georgia, they carried out widescale syphilis testing, on the scale of hundreds of thousands in 1945. Counties adjacent to Tuskegee reached 89% test coverage, with the outcome being an infection rate of 30% in black individuals and 3% in white individuals. Of course people wouldn't have known the exact numbers back when the Tuskegee study started in 1932, but with such ridiculously high rates of infection, they'd have had a generally accurate idea. It's also accurate that the majority of those who were infected had not proactively sought out medical treatment. That knowledge is part of what led Georgia to mandate the blood tests and pair it alongside recommendations of treatment for those infected. How do you think you would have framed these data at the time with a wide open Overton Window, no notions of political correctness, and so on?

To be clear, as always, I am not defending the Tuskegee experiment, the people who did it, their views, or anything of the sort. They did awful things, obviously. But what I am trying to show is that if we were in their shoes, in the same situation, in the same context, it would have been all too easy to fall into the exact same trappings. It's only by really understanding the past that we might ever try to hope to avoid repeating it. When we simply demonize the past, the only lesson to be learned is don't be a demon. And certainly none of us think ourselves demons, so surely such things could never happen again. But with that mindset, they most assuredly will!

what's the practical alternative?
Nothing about the response might suggest they were thinking about what others might make of them but I assure you, no moment of embarrassment I can think of in my own case but comes with its burdens of imagined reactions of others.

Perhaps their physiological model is flawed, because embarrassment is surely about nothing, if not about belief in the external reception of our actions.

I'm often embarrassed about what I thought for sure. But thats a dialogue between myselves, "on the inside"
Teaching a 3-Year-Old and LLMs
If we had a complete and evolving set of requirements for any reasonably complex system, we wouldn't really read them once they no longer match the system we have delivered.

Systems and requirements go hand in hand but the reality is requirements are eventually codified, and after a point only the system matters because the system is the reality and the requirements were just the formal inspiration.

I would love to see automated requirement analysis and verification from code.
Yeah, and it's generally good to be RAM limited instead of CPU, no? The alternative is blowing a bunch of time on syscalls and OS scheduler overhead.

Also the virtual threads run on a "traditional" thread pool to my understanding, so you can just tweak the number of worker threads to cap the total concurrency.

The benefit is it's overall more efficient (in the general case) and lets you write linear blocking code (as opposed to function coloring). You don't have to use it, but it's nice that it's there. Now hopefully Valhalla actually makes it in eventually
> I remember saying “something” will block eventually no matter what… anything from the buffer being full on the NIC to your cpu being at anything less than 100%.

Nope. You can go async all the way down, right to the electrical signals if you want. We usually impose some amount of synchronous clocking/polling for sanity, at various levels, but you don't have to; the world is not synchronised, the fastest way to respond to a stimulus will always be to respond when it happens.

> Does it shake out to any real advantage?

Of course it does - did you miss the whole C10K discussions 20+ years ago? Whether it matters for your business is another question, but you can absolutely get a lot more throughput by being nonblocking, and if you're doing request-response across the Internet you generally can't afford not to.

Chartbook 298 Built not Born – against "interregnum"-talk (Hegemony Notes #2)
There is the asymmetry between up and down when you're talking exponential's.

Up gets steeper and steeper until something happens. We probably don't want to find out what. The way down has a very long tail.

Japan's population at this rate will decline to 50 million over a 100 years. A lot can happen in 100 years. And it's not clear that the current trend will continue.

I'm sure people on the tip top of the wealth/population pyramid are freaking out that the thing will start getting smaller. I'm dubious there is a net negative for the people on the bottom. Right now rents have been gamed up, labor power is weak. A falling population will reverse that.

Yeah the taste difference is there, but you can get quite close even with a regular 500°F (~250°C) household oven and a longer time (4 with fan/grill + 4 minutes without in my case, YMMV). The basic tricks are to use a pizza stone, prepare your pizza dough a few days before (let it rest in a fridge) and do not go crazy with the toppings (less is more, too much stuff on top of pizza usually means soggy pizza - the top grill element can sometimes fix this, but not always).
