Huge shout out to Small Computer Central/Steven Cousins. I have four or five machines designed by him, with various main boards and backplanes. The parts are all tested working, and the build instructions are comprehensive. It’s a very enjoyable project to go from a pile of parts to connecting to the UART and blinking some LEDs.
Do they not have product managers?

I agree that practice can be tremendously valuable in knowledge work, but at some point in the skill curve, once you have built up a the ability to accurately self-evaluate the value of practice goes down because the work itself is the practice.

Benjamin Franklin was referenced in the article, and there are far more examples in his life than just the writing exercises where he employed deliberate practice to improve his ability in an area. But he didn't continue these once we was rocking these skills at a world class skill level - instead he switched to practicing new skills he wanted to add.

But if you haven't tried doing so deliberate practice - I'd highly recommend it.
People said that for photoshop and then procreate took over a big chunk of the market.

Similarly people said that for desktop sculpting but many artists now use Nomad, plus there’s ZBrush for iPad coming out.

How do you we know it’s not worth working out unless someone tries?

And even if it doesn’t work out, just look at some of the UI learnings here that could be valuable to apply backwards.

As someone coming into this programming space, is it common to be running a debugger that can read the float, as opposed to someone brand new to the space printing out a value for debugging. Not specifically comments like yours, but in general the assumption that others should know their tools as strongly as those profess in limited environment spaces, makes it seem that this is a space only for those with a high level of knowledge. That is absolutely not a knock on your knowledge or ability if that is just how things are, I'm sure there are specific areas of computing that require a vast knowledge of how things work without having a library to debug your issues into the way a simple print statement works. I have worked in limited environments, so I am curious specifically about a microcontroller environment like londons_explore specified.

I learned to program in Atari 8-bit systems, and know there are limitations on what you can output. londons_explore had a completely valid comment. I was just looking for a perspective for developers getting involved in microcontroller environments, and how they could best debug their code. We all know that a debugger is better than a "print" statement, but not always the fastest, especially with logic. If my answer is just "debugging", and there isn't another, that satisfies me. I am always looking for unique ways developers solve problems in ANY environment, because I would enjoy being able to work in any environment that's best for the solution being provided. I guess I have been blessed with environments where the client is willing to pay for something higher-level than what is actually required.

I enjoy all aspects of development across devices, so I hope nobody took my comment as a challenge, it absolutely was not.

I was being prepped for wrist/arm surgery years back and the anesthesiologist got a bit flummoxed and muttere, “huh, that’s strange… let’s get an ultrasound” while trying to administer a nerve block on my arm. I asked what and they ”oh, it’s nothing to worry about, but your nerve isn’t where it is supposed to be…”, and then knocked me out before I could ask anything else.
Supposedly on the Pi 5, the SoC could be put to sleep while RP1 remains active, and the RP1 has enough compute to handle like 4 or 8 pixels of data from an attached camera... I think RPi might be able to get much better suspend support with their new PMIC and RP1. But so far still waiting to see something handy like Wake on LAN support native in Pi OS.

What is an “official version of python”?

Anaconda is a distribution, which to my understanding, includes an official version of Python. Anaconda includes its own way of doing things to solve a lot of common problems people face.

Personally, I don’t use Anaconda any longer because I ran into so many issues over so many years with conda, their package manager. I’m also almost competent enough to deal with a lot of the problems that anaconda tries to solve. This likely isn’t the case for beginners.

Virtual environments are great and, I’d argue, what people should be using 99% of the time.
I think they’ve made a good effort on the laws in CA, 5150 and 5160 ensure each patient has a social worker advocate to look out for them and it needs recurring sign offs from a judge.

They helped more than 1 friend of mine when they when they needed the help.

The real issue is the 100k+ bill they got at the end, but politics so I digress.
My main point is that these jobs are fundamentally different and people spend their time differently as a consequence.
At this point, I am more curious about how what I argue even comes across as me feeling superior or being disrespectful to people who aren't developers. (I am not a developer and would rather spent all my time running if I could)
Huh. Didn't run in to it when I was searching for libraries. It appears to be just 350 bytes larger than LeanQR when gzipped.
Moire effect is the result of 2 (or more I guess) similar regular, repeating patterns laid over each other but with a small delta.

Over a small section of the pattern, the patterns will mostly line up. But over a larger sections, you’ll see that some parts will over lap.

An example of this is would be to get 2 meshes. And place one mesh slightly behind the other.

You can hear the result too. A common way to tune a guitar relative to itself is to play one string open, and then play the same note on a different string. You’ll hear this beat that is not the note because the frequencies are close but not quite.

I had some "seed" 68K code to work with, and then I augmented it heavily. There was a monitor program that I added features to, including adding an assembler and disassembler. But other than getting the monitor and memory test programs working, adding a clock, and a few small utilities, I never built it up to do anything useful.

I still have the source code:

Re: Tinnitus -

Interesting thought to put forward, thanks.

If you still have issues with tinnitus or hypersensitive hearing, look into Berard AIT (Auditory Integration Train) - and where there's a book called "Hearing Equals Behavior: Updated and expanded" that details it, and a sound treatment that can help with all that you said.
Good to hear the pain medication worked for you! Have tried a few myself. They work okay, but not well enough that I'd like to take them for the rest of my life - yeah, unlike your temporary pain, my unfortunately came back after stopping the drugs.
Contrast the python experience with R, MATLAB, Mathematica, (even Julia). That should be what python ecosystem should aspire to. Blaming students for not understanding command line, virtual env, package management versioning etc.. and screwing around with magic incantations (to them) is just a sad reflection of how unfriendly this frankensystem is. Doubly sad that python is the default way to learn anything nowadays.
the way i'm thinking about it: could apple be the size it is today, in terms of market cap and or influence, being strictly ran in "founder mode"? i'm even skeptical steve jobs could have taken it here.

that's not to say the goal should always be to scale or become as big as possible, but it's interesting to think about.
I think it’s a good model because it poses the same question: an object is in a field gradient of otherwise forceless space, so what? In 0g a mass on a rubber sheet won’t attract an object, so why would real gravity “lines” attract an object that doesn’t try to move across it? There’s no supergravity for “gravity sheet” to work either.

Afaiu, the answer is that moving through time in a gravitational gradient makes you constantly “fall flat” on an x/time 2d graph due to time dilation gradient, thus affecting x and spatial momentum. Apparently mass affects time and time creates gravity. Idk if that’s a fringe idea or mainstream.
That would have been a MUCH better thing to do.
First of all, no one even lives in the places Mammoths would live. Second of all, they can't be any more destructive than the Argentine fire ants that I deal with every year. You can't get rid of them; you only need to slow them down with bait. They're literally everywhere and spreading.

> It is time that we start honoring the courage and strength of depressed people. It is time we start valuing the incredible capacity of our biology to find a way in hard times. And it is time that we stop pretending depressed people are any different than anyone else.

The article's conclusion ends in a call for society to change its ways. Such an appeal is easy to make. What's not so easy is telling a depressed person what to do right now under the circumstance that society hasn't changed and likely isn't going to change.

Disagree with the first myth (productivity) because I've already implemented LLM-related automations that already have saved a lot of time. Both involved summarizing a small amount of information and pre-filling a text input in a messaging app with a suggested message to send to a client. The user can still edit the text and is ultimately responsible for pressing "Send", but the LLM takes you 90% of the way there by referencing past messages and referring to completion criteria to write the message you would probably write.

Tasks like replying to emails, applying for jobs, and sending daily updates are deceivingly draining. Creative writing is in itself a task, and when the content is repetitive and just summarizes other work you can automate most of that thinking/language work. Why spend 15-20 minutes on Theusarus.com thinking of a novel way to say something - offload that to a language machine.

Would extend this to customer service in general - probably won't have cashiers, drive-thru order takers, or customer support chat as human jobs very much longer.

>We once more have no full-time managers whose sole function is to organize or direct the work of others. Everyone doing management here does so on the side, next to their primary work as an individual contributor.

i.e Their Product Manager will also contribute to the project and code directly rather than handing out task.

This isn't just a tech thing. In many other industry they are filled with people as manager but has zero idea how any work are accomplished. Without all these knowledge they cant judge and manage any team properly.

I've spent maybe 40-60 hours a week on average programming since I was 15 or so (42 now, but I don't program as much nowadays). I'm very logical in general, so I was naturally drawn to programming, but that's a ton of work to put into something. Software engineering comes easily to me now, from the very high level to the very low level.

I don't know tons of stuff about tons of stuff, but I do have a fairly good sense for how computers work at all levels of the stack, which helps.
I would be very interested in this, esp. if it runs Linux.

Sure, thermal expansion can crack ceramic. More my question is, did this really happen? The operating parameters for a ceramic cup are well known. A cup that is ok for 90C tea vs 100C tea seems like terrible design which would run you out of business if your competitor could make cups that were not known for breaking if you did not let the water cool long enough.
I assume you are being sarcastic.

Drinking vessels come in all different sizes, from dainty little tea cups to mugs that hold an entire litre.

Measuring the milk requires both measuring the steep time exactly, and using a separate measuring cup. This wastes time and adds unnecessary cleanup.

Stirring as you add milk to the tea allows you to tell exactly the right amount for that cup (and for how long the tea was steeped) based on the colour of the beverage.
The line where he points out that you need to stir continuously is important. He's saying that by mixing the milk and tea reliably, you can eyeball the colour of the tea. Indeed, this helps you regulate the flavour over multiple cups as the tea may be stronger (and therefore darker) if you have not removed the tea leaves. Conversely humans are terrible at measuring volumes in isolation in a container thar may differ in size.

If you're concerned about regulating the tea (to water) to milk ratio, i.e., obtaining a reliable flavour), milk first wouldn't even be a possibility.

The Anaconda Distribution has pretty good coverage of what scientific/technical Python users require. I'd wager that they rarely need to concern themselves about package management.

I had a pretty rough time with Anaconda Team Edition when it was rolled out by my employer. The security team required that any package with a high CVE score be filtered out of the on-prem repository. Fair enough, but it just led to packages and dependencies being constantly broken. IIRC, it wasn't possible to give normal users the ability to view CVE scores, which just compounded the issue.
I’m curious about other organisms that have a split between the vagus and the spinal cord.

The o.g. Tesla roadster was $100k and Tesla lost money on each one.

Also, it was not a good car.

$100k in 2008 is $150k today.

I amend my estimate to be $150k.

Nobody’s paying $150k for a Mazda.

The new Tesla roadster is expected to start at $200k.
And the ability to be driven somewhere is ubiquitous. Cars can hold more than one person, generally.

I got devuan down to about 8 seconds from startup -> login -> shutdown on the tty. Gentoo boots pretty fast to a desktop (maybe 15-20 seconds) - a lot of the slowdown on "modern" linux is systemd waiting for NICs and whatever to quiesce. Hilariously, Ubuntu is by far the worst at boot times, i've had ubuntu sit there for minutes because it was airgapped.

I kinda lost interest in attempting to speed up boots more than that, maybe if i had some funding i could get debian or gentoo down to a couple of seconds of boot overhead before X/wayland/whatever runs.

Actually this is only partially true (have implemented verifiable credientials and ZK on top).

VCs will allow you to verifiably specify your date of birth or maybe your passport number.

What ZK does is allows a third party to ask questions like "is the date of birth of this person prior to 2-Sep-2006" (ie, are they over 18) or "is this person a passport holder for country X" and the ZKP system can say yes or no without disclosing the actual birthdate or the passport number.

It's is a real improvement in privacy, although I'm unconvinced it is worth the incredible inconvenience of implementing it.

This device in particular basically maintains and obscures view of an open wound on your body, and must keep it protected at all times to limit the chance of a bad infection. I can certainly see why it took awhile to build up the trust that their supply chain can create such a device safely.

Plus, the whole host of problems that occur when there's too much or too little insulin in your body. Comas and death in both directions! For better or worse, having certification and a professional watching after it is not the worst thing for a newbie on a dexcom monitor.

And if Germany hasn't gotten pretty sclerotic and dysfunctional at its supposed (per the article) core strengths, then why the <bleep/> is it a relative no-show in the ultra-precision analog engineering business of chip fabrication? And so laughably low-achieving at artillery shell production? The Germans proved extremely capable at the latter back in the early 1940's, even with the distraction of bombs raining down on their cities day and night...
Yeah, uh, ever lived with a depressed person?

You cannot get them to do anything. They only care about how sad they feel and care nothing about the effects their constant bed hiding imposes on all the people around them. It is utterly impossible to get them to treat themselves because... That involves getting out of bed .

The depressive loop in the mind has built in defenses that keep it from being treated. A depressed person often wants to be depressed because they take condition it and don't want to face all the things they could have been doing instead, a sort of procrastination on media steroids.

The best treatment for depression, exercise, involves setting all the micro behaviors that depression uses to perpetuate itself.

> You can probably start at $10/month with a hetzner shared instance and 1tb storage and unmetered 1 Gigabit Ethernet. Gonna be fine for ~2 simultaneous viewers

I think that is still overcooking it. Peertube has a FAQ on the subject [0], going off that it's probably achievable to have 1,000 concurrent users at ~$50/month+storage. Not commercially advisable, it is pretty obvious that everyone in the game ends up going ad-supported and that makes sense to me. But YouTube could in support something like that for small channels without too much trouble. The issue here for the median channel case doesn't look like costs in the >$1,000/month range as much as foregone revenue and operational complexity. The vast majority of content creators don't get hundreds of thousands of views.

This is frequently due to startup apps, not Windows itself. I generally find when I disable stuff like Steam, Teams, Creative Cloud, OEM (e.g. HP) software, etc Windows is usable as soon as I log on. My work Windows laptop has most startup apps disabled (with the exception of OneDrive and Teams which I use frequently enough that it makes sense for it to be enabled on my work laptop) and I log on to a desktop ready to go. My personal laptop has everything except OneDrive disabled. YMMV and I acknowledge the default settings of letting apps insert themselves as Startup apps without user approval is not ideal. I note this is also an issue on MacOS from experience at my previous employer who issued me a Macbook which was configured as per corporate policy to have various apps including anti virus and the like loading on login to desktop. Only platforms that is so far immune to this is open source distros like Debian (using GNOME, its default desktop environment) et al but I've yet to work for an employer that uses Linux.

Imagine you are Goldman Sachs and a client wants to make a 100mm USD wire transfer to one of their accounts at Citibank. How does citibank know that the account at GS has the money to cover this transfer?

Right now, the way this works is essentially through a lot of trust and some guarantees by the fed. This has some downsides: because you need a lot of confirmations, it makes transfers take longer. Also, small players can't really get in on this system, so some regional banks are at a disadvantage.

How do you make this safer and more robust? GS obviously can't send info on all of its clients accounts and balances to Citi. You could imagine a protocol where the client/GS sends Citi a zkp to prove that the client has the money (as long as all inputs are agreed upon).

Of course, you don't really need zkps. You could also have the fed keep a database on all money in all accounts (like they do in Brazil), so that the bank only has to ask the central bank to give you an ok. But that is a whole lot of power in the hands of a central authority, as well as a single point of failure, which is something banking systems should avoid imo
