Some people get satisfaction out of solving problems and learning, regardless of what the problem is or what they’re learning.

Building a company is a constant exercise of problem solving and learning, especially at the early stages.

I grew a SaaS to millions of ARR but the thing that keeps me interested isn’t really the industry we’re in, it’s all of the tangential things that are required to build and grow (learning how to hire well, learning how to build company culture, pitching to investors, M&A, figuring out how to be a good leader, etc)

Sometimes I feel guilty that I’m not as directly passionate about the product itself as I should be, and am more passionate about the people and company and the journey it’s on.
Have we ever tried only injecting adjuvants used in vaccines into tumors?
In Mergiraf, as soon as there is a parsing error in any of the revisions, it falls back on line-based merging, even though tree-sitter is generally good at isolating the error. It felt like the safest thing to do (maybe we detected the language wrong), but I'm definitely open to reconsidering…
Our parsers simply return the concrete syntax trees in a JSON format. We do not unify all the different syntax constructs into a common AST if that is what you are looking for. The languages and file formats we support are too diverse for that.

The language specific logic does not end with the parsers though. The core of SemanticDiff also contains language specific rules that are picked up by the matching and visualization steps. For example, the HTML module might add a rule that the order of attributes within a tag is irrelevant. So it all comes down to writing a generic rule system that makes it easy to add new languages.
First prototype (and what was likely also shot down) has been flown on 2017, so at that time MAX22200 were still available. Getting Maxim today is difficult, but maybe buying unsold devkits and reusing chips from them would be easier than redesigning that electronic module which uses them. But it is a desperation move which I would be protesting against, even on consumer-grade electronics.
> sounds good in theory but it is unusable for most real world cases.

Are you sure about that? You are talking about the single most widely deployed piece of software ever.
IIRC every possible quadratic bezier curve (the kind used in truetype) can be rendered as one triangle and the equation in barycentric coordinates is identical for all possible curves, so you can just evaluate it in the shader with no extra vertex data.

This isn't generally true.

It does seem wise to preferentially get the Pfizer boosters over the Moderna boosters for lower dosage though, particularly if you're a young man.
> We can't nerdsolve our way out of annoying comments.

That wasn't the purpose. I fully realize that annoying comments will arise in any case.

> there is simply no telling what 'the bare minimum' is

You may be equivocating on this phrase. I'm not proposing some definitive specification of the one true bare minimum, but I'd say that reading the article is a bare minimum, so to speak, for commenting on an article. Don't you agree? Or do you think that commenting on an article without reading it is in fact great and useful? If the latter, then we fundamentally disagree, this entire conversation has been a waste of time, and I wish you would have just said that at the beginning.

> you don't have any idea whether the people you think haven't read the article actually haven't.

Again, I'm ok with false negatives.
It's astounding how often the left/right dichotomy gets discussed without any acknowledgement that there are many axes. For the purposes of this discussion I assumed the collectivist/individualist axis (in my opinion usually the most pertinent one).
No country is 100% immune to it. But some countries have developed systems to tame the effects as much as possible.

Examples are most of Western Europe, the U.S., and Canada. There’s a clear correlation between low corruption and high economic development.
A similar kind of story though much longer is Unsong by Scott Alexander. The prolog starts with Apollo 8 crashing into the celestial sphere and divine magic starts leaking back into the world; Angels are real, Kabala based on the names of God allow real magic and they've been copyrighted. Our protagonist is a worker bee that spends all day saying nonsense combinations that could be True Names for his employer to patent and sell. One day right after the end of his shift he stumbles on one completely by accident and it changes everything.

Why isn't there a browser which you can just install to have a good Internet experience? It would have to update itself every day with a new definition of "good" due to the arms race with advertisers.

It would have to block all ads and trackers and other bad JavaScript; automatically redirect YouTube to Invidious and so on, while seamlessly keeping all YouTube features; automatically open the chronological tab instead of the recommended tab on most social media; be blatantly illegal to possess; and update itself through Tor so nobody can do anything about it.

Given that your original point was that someone used the wrong word, this feels like you're moving the goalposts now.
When the health authorities say that they don't recommend it because benefits do not outweigh risks they usually mean that the benefits aren't at least 2 magnitudes (100 times) bigger than the risks. Vaccination usually is highly beneficial, but as one ages the benefit does diminish. Agencies don't want to be stuck with vaccines which have large side effects.
I have to be honest, it sounds a little like you have a chip on your shoulder. Some things that I personally found very helpful about university, other than the written learning resources:

* In-person access to professors who can competently discuss topics that go beyond the syllabus.

* Fairly realistic appraisal of what it's like to continue on to graduate studies.

* Being immersed in an environment of self-driven learning.

* Building independence in a safe space away from home.

* Very wide range of sports clubs, societies, hobby groups etc... and the time to pursue several of them.

* Opportunity to demonstrate excellence. The degree class and academic prizes still count for something at many universities.
He doesn't:

> Obviously, we can’t store bitmaps inside our shaders, but we can store integer constants, which, if you squint hard enough, are nothing but maps of bits. Can we pretend that an integer is a bitmap?

He seems a bit confused about what a bitmap is. There's no squinting or pretending involved here.

It's wild that we've collectively passed that over. Heads should have rolled for that, all the way to the top of whoever had knowledge of that campaign.
That is surprising - considering how close they are. I've always ended up flying out of New York or Toronto, at what I'd consider reasonable prices. I suspect it's because of the sizable expat/2nd/3rd gen population in the northeast.
C and C++ folks like to play Ada card, missing the fact that it didn't took off due to the price of compilers and the hardware to run them, coupled by cheaper C and C++ developer salaries.

They miss the fact we aren't in 1980's any longer, Infosec and pentesting is standard procedure before deployment in many industries, insurances and companies now have a ball in the game regarding cibersecurity and nation state sponsored attacks.

LLM Models Comparison
It went to 7 Ada vendors still in business in 2024, in an age where many folks refuse to pay for their work tools.

Folks that play the Ada card don't get then issues regarding compiler prices for Ada, versus C and C++ free UNIX compilers (it was an additional license on UNIX SDKs), the hardware requirements, the salaries for devs with Ada skills, and yet those 7 companies manage to stay in business.
You could probably test that theory. Just compare heart transplants against similarly invasive surgeries and see if the same effects exist.
Interesting feedback, thanks. My own reflections:

- oddly heavy: it's indeed heavier than remarkable, but not an issue for me.

- handwriting lag: hm, which app did you use? I didn't notice that in both Reader and Notes, the experience was all right for me.

- no setup: valid feedback, I had to figure out things myself. Granted, it's an Android tablet, so I think I discovered most of the shortcuts etc. Not that much different from iPad.

- display resolution: maybe because I used iPad mini (and Remarkable) before, I didn't have very high expectations. The resolution is OK with me.

- chrome rendering too small: I didn't notice that before you mentioned it, but you can also change the default zoom level in Settings -> Accessibility, which I just discovered.

- Google ecosystem: yep, I kinda expected that given that I knew it's an Android tablet, so that was not an issue for me.
Confinement in the Transverse Field Ising Model on the Heavy Hex Lattice
I agree. I detest that the world I live in, there's an inordinate amount of human effort that goes into diverting my attention to make me behave against my own best interests by buying something, or even just offered the opportunity to notice something buyable, that in both cases enriches someone else.

If all of that effort was focused on something meaningful, rather than something 'profitable', I wouldn't despise myself or the rest of humanity.

There's a massive difference between making the world a better place versus making the world a better place for a select few. Late stage capitalism has a massively heavy emphasis on the latter.

And now the USA has effectively reverted to monarchism. [1]

I can't speak to western europe, but the clear devotion the US and Canada have to capital makes this difficult to buy as a general difference. I suspect the distinction in corruption between the west and the rest of the world must come from a working person's perspective.

And I would love to hear from any non-westerners here as I suspect it's impossible to get a meaningful evaluation from the west.

The CDC does not "recommend" vaccinations over 45, mostly due to previous exposure. I suspect one can find doctors willing to do the vaccination for those over 45, though one may need to convince them.

Whether this is useful depends. HPV 16 and 18 are the "high risk" strains most associated with cancer. Depending on your sexual history, getting vaccinated at 45+ may be useful. Unfortunately, there's no reliable test for HPV 16 and 18 for those who have already had it.

That may have an effect, but I don't think the root cause is the number of developers.

The root issue is that people and groups are disorganized and have inconsistencies between them. Changing habits and convincing other humans and making political coalitions is very hard, so instead people are willing to spend surprisingly large amounts of money in various ways that somehow take the edge off.

Creating or adopting software to "organize" is just one way that can occur. It could also be something like a doomed initiative that someone with clout wants, or even just paying the salary of a useless person hoping they'll leave on their own because firing them is too hard.

Development of starlink wasn't just about developing it once, it was also about integrating starship and the satellite technology to enable quick to spin up global networks around planets, very forward looking. Think of how hard it was to lay all the cables that built up the first set of global networks, and how easy star link was in comparison once the technology matured. Now it can be done on any planet mostly regardless of terrain, you can spin one up on the moon within a couple of years. Pretty exciting.

What I learn in Usenet and on early forums, to avoid discuss country regulations, so I will not promise to support this branch of discussion.

But well, as you ask, for about prohibitive regulations, we in Ukraine made (and making) two things.

First, we are practically motherland of anarchy, and was few multiple years periods, when country live without government and without regulations.
You could read about deregulation in books of

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

and

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_von_Mises
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murray_Rothbard

also I myself like Ostrom, Elinor (1990). Governing the Commons: The Evolution of Institutions for Collective Action.

Second, when government become powerful, we read prohibitive as it is - we just avoid made business in prohibitive niches. Because of this appear paradox, government and armed forces said that country need rockets, they even allocated large budgets to buy rockets from private companies, but nobody make rockets as they are prohibited.

In some cases, possible to make virtual business or semi-abroad - it is possible to create business in US or in EU (or other countries with adequate regulations) and hire people remote.

As conclusion, I mean, the best way to deal with prohibitive regulations is just flee abroad, to country with more adequate regulations, and you could from abroad support deregulation struggle if you wish. But if it is hard to flee, you could try to open business abroad.

"upgradeable" seems very loosely used here.

They unsolder the NAND chip, do re-balling and then solder in a new NAND chip. So yes, it is technically possible to upgrade the storage, but only specialist shops can do it successfully. Plus you likely need very specific chips because you'll be re-using the Apple controller and its built-in configuration (if any).

The same men they widely claim were racists and misogynists, and current men even young men are still to blame for. The other side is just reacting to this, since it's all fairly new (around 15 years), and it seems the main proponents of this are single liberal women.
I could be wrong, but my understanding is that "free of charge" is already legal, and the FDA only regulates drugs that are sold and not ones that are given freely

Important things pay the most. Or they aren’t important. If they aren’t valuable, they aren’t important. The market determines important. If there is something that someone thinks is important but aren’t willing to spend their own money on it, then it clearly isn’t that important.
It's a reflective LCD, much better in a direct sunlight.

Our mileage certainly varies - I would not consider buying an iPad (I already have an iPad mini and don't want more of that), but this device I really like. It's hard to put a finger on it. I read other reviewers claiming that reading e.g. X in greyscale is less addictive, and I didn't really believe it until I tried it myself. Something is certainly different about my workflows on this device.

Reading it late at night is much more enjoyable than reading an iPad, even with the Night Shift on.
No, BCPL was Basic CPL. BCPL was created in 1967 after the CPL project ground to a halt in 1966, based on the subset of CPL used in the CPL compiler.
Heavy Qt user here... I agree with everything you said. I think a lot of people are rightfully confused about the licensing because I think the Qt Company is vague about it on purpose, they want to sell licenses of course. I just hope their agreement with KDE never ends.

I also think that the vast majority of people that complain about the lack of "native look" are bad takes from people that don't actually ship apps professionally and listen to their customers. End-users don't actually care and it really simplifies things a lot to do it the way they are. wxWidgets uses platform native APIs and I would argue that it looks much worse (and old) compared to Qt.

One thing I will say though is that the fact that Qt specifically now uses LGPL version 3 as opposed to v2 (switched in 5.6 I think), can actually be quite significant and a non-starter for some people. If you're developing something where Qt is embedded fairly deep in to the system, especially if it's a critical system, you don't want to have to give the user the ability to swap out your Qt library with who-knows-what and now all your safety testing/validation/warranties etc. are void... which I guess for bigger companies they just buy a commercial license in that case.
That's the immediate result. But what about later, when the war is over? Military expense is non-productive, economically it's the same as just giving people money for free while they are sitting on the couch (nobody is killed in the latter case though).

Military overspending literally killed Soviet Union, and people returning from Afghanistan war made guaranteed the unforgettable social climate after that. I don't see any reason to be bullish on Russia, even if Trump now gives up Ukraine for Putin.
I’ve seen quite a few of those kind of comments here as well. Sexism and racism is just that—even when directed at white men.

I recently came across an “ethical software” movement, concerned about privacy. Right up my alley. Was ready to join up and use their logo, etc. Watched their ted talk for inspiration. I shit you not, he said it was not (just?) for white guys. With a bit of sneer. Found the text on the site as well, not merely an off-hand remark. As if human rights give one shit about that. The whole point, missed.

Closed the tabs and haven’t looked back. Insulting your audience doesn’t garner votes, what a surprise.
At a fundamental aspect, that's what journalism is though - some individual noticing something and writing down what they percieved, its always biased. To think otherwise is ludicrous.

> how can they be underpaying people (i.e. paying them less than competing employers) and yet people still choose to do it?

"paying them less than competing employers" being synonymous with "underpaying" is probably not a great assumption, although I'm sure it's the definition an MBA would use.

Most regular people are choosing the least-worst option in terms of employer. That doesn't mean that the least worst option is necessarily good, or paying fairly on an absolute scale. It could just be the job that means workers can handle one unexpected large bill before going bankrupt instead of not being able to handle any at all working for the next-worst option.

In other words, there's an imbalance of power between employers and the "regular person" workforce. The workers technically have a choice of where to work, but in many cases, none of the choices are good.
I'm not a mathematician. It works like magic for me.

Simply put. Suppose you have 64 bits (8 bytes) of regular RAM. For ECC-enabled memory, a similar block of memory will occupy 72 bits (9 bytes). The first 64 bits will be identical. What would need to be stored in the remaining 8 bits so that any of the 72 bits could be detected and recovered, assuming only one bit was corrupted?
What seems like a joke about it? And relevant to what, exactly?

The parent of my initial comment in this thread said: "For inference, Apple chips are great due to a high memory bandwidth... It's a cost effective option if you need a lot of memory plus a high bandwidth."

My post was attempting to explain at a high level how 1) Apple SoCs do not really have high memory bandwidth compared to a cluster of GPUs, and 2) you can actually build that cluster of GPUs for the same cost or cheaper than a loaded Mac Studio, and it will drastically outperform the Mac.

If you want specifics on how to build such a GPU cluster, you can search for "ROMED8-2T 3090" for some examples.

I hope this helps.
