This is incorrect. He lost his HUD and the primary flight display, but not the standby instruments. Those are intended as a backup in case the other systems fail, and they did their job and kept operating. You can't use them to fire missiles or keep track of enemy anti–air radar systems, but you can use them to fly the plane, avoid terrain, and land safely. And he didn’t even check to see if they were still working before he ejected.
If you work at a company like this where leadership does not understand the engineering, the value, or the consequences of their reports but only want to talk about it at review-time, you are not in a healthy environment with an actual leadership.

And you will feel the toxicity created by this kind of poor leadership by way of constant blame games, misalignments, and unnecessary stress over garbage.
Artificial not-intelligence is not artificial intelligence.

I don't know why you're defining words the way you are, but it's leading you to an absurd position. As I said elsewhere, if you want to communicate with the rest of us, you need to use the same definitions we do. Otherwise you're talking, not about AI, but about trying to re-define words, and that's a really uninteresting conversation.

Yes it is, if you program application software for Linux (and your other two supported platforms are Windows and macOS, as is the case for OP and their colleague who appear to work for Valve, supporting Steam)

And the reason the colleague dubs it the worst has nothing to do with its specification in POSIX (which doesn't require the function to be thread-safe but also doesn't prevent it from being made thread-safe), but rather its specific implementation in glibc, which is the C library in use on all the Linux distributions that Valve support Steam on and all are equally dubbed as "Linux"
This is the wrong way to think about it.

If you claim sovereignty over a state's territory, violate its laws, refuse to pay its taxes, and threaten its citizens will violence, will the state respond?

If their response is severe enough to bring you into line, the state exists. If not, then the state is fiction.
That’s a good way of putting it.

When I moved country and updated my credit card in Spotify to my card from the new country Spotify also changed my “region”. As a result there are so many songs I have “starred”/“added”/“liked” (whatever fucking language they’re using for it now) are just greyed out and unplayable.

Anyway as for actually getting copies of the music I listen to I think we should just pirate it completely unashamedly.
I agree that every project needs one person who has a laser focus on getting the project across the finish line. There are always dozens of slightly annoying and unrelated blockers.

I call it my volleyball theory, after playing on a mid team back in college. If the ball is coming down near a large group, no one gets it. If you're the only one there, you'll get that ball one way or another!

The game is Gundam Evolution, so Bandai Namco is the owner. They are known to be very litigious and protective of Gundam IP.

The game was a multiplayer FPS and involved cosmetic micro transactions.

Due to mismanagement they shut down in one year. It launched in late 2022 and EOSed late 2024.

I'm in the US, yes. The company is Japanese though and they may not care as much about US law when choosing to pursue. Even if they ultimately don't have a case, there's still enough gray area to torment-by-lawyer.

For that reason I chose not to take any cash for the project. I also don't distribute any game files. Trying to minimize risk as much as possible.

But yeah! It was a good community building project. We're about to hit 10,000 members I hope it leads to some connections that are profit rearing.
I'm sure had the pilot not ejected and the plane crashed, we'd all be calling it pilot error for not ejecting when in this situation, when the book called for ejecting.
I don't know why this post is getting down voted but the MBAization is truly it.

MBA practices cannot deal with uncontrollable production. But software engineering is utter chaos. So they try to come up with bullshit units that can be easily managed in their opinion. But it never works - aka, a nimble competitor always eats the giant in software.

The MBA style practice does work in factories and warehouses. But in software, a nimble startup with own the incumbent just be providing higher quality value.
A few years back, I did an apples-to-oranges test of an album I had on vinyl and CD. The vinyl version probably sounded better (usual BS about warmth and whatnot) but the CD sounded very, very good and it was way closer than I was expecting. It had been ~15 years since I'd listened to a CD on a real stereo and I'd totally forgotten how good they can sound. I'd certainly been swayed by the vinyl enthusiasts in the interim, too.

The CD was so clean and clear but not in a robotic way. (I don't think this album had fallen victim to the loudness war either, fwiw.) Whereas the record sounded "warm" but also a little muddy and quiet (not in a good way) in comparison. I know there could be any number of reasons for this but that's also part of the problem. Was my setup dialed in and this is how it was supposed to sound? Or, was the table not flat? Was the needle dirty? Was the tracking force off? Yes, it's fun to tweak these variables but ... it's also fun to just listen to music that sounds excellent with zero effort.

I've started buying CDs again (to my spouse's chagrin) and have no regrets. I do need to start ripping them before discrot comes for them. For anyone in the market, library sales are an excellent option to, essentially, buy CDs by the pound. They also often have rare compilations and anthologies that you won't find in thrift stores.
If you think about it, fan use during super high heats could lead to fatalities, because people using them could possibly be so hot, they're not even able to realize the moving of hot air over them is actually heating them up more. Anyway, like I said the only REAL solution is evaporative effects, if there's no AC to be had.
> To leaders though it apparently seems like Im not doing anything because “nothing ever goes wrong” lol.

They are not leaders. They are managers more akin to administration or HR.
It's weird that people think we can't do two or even three things at the same time isn't it?
Yeah absolutely, when it's based in actual fact. The F-35 project is a fantastic example of how out of control defense projects can become, it's parts sourcing in partner nations is questionable when those partner nations are liable to go procure S-400, parts commonality between A, B, and C is pretty terrible for three jets that are supposed to be variants, the list goes on.

As a US taxpayer, if you win $10,000 on one day and then lose $10,000 the next day gambling, then you have to report $10,000 net gambling income for the year and pay taxes on that - even though you actually made zero.

> ZIP DIP socket
If that is referring to the picture above, my recollection is that it's a ZIF DIP socket ... We used those for writing [E][E]PROM. ZIF was zero-insertion-force.
Like everything else, writing code doesn't exist in a vacuum.. There will always be interconnected constraints and requirements, and you simply cannot "deliver a spec" and think that's all there is to it.

And that has nothing to do with ethics.. The spec is outdated by the time it makes its way to you, and odds are it was flawed from the start in some way.

And again this isn't because someone is bad at their job, it's because the business reality and conditions are constantly changing.

And so someone needs to be keeping an eye on both of those things and steering the code delivery parts of the work to stay aligned with those changing business conditions.

To your comment about politics: I would say that from a high enough viewpoint "happy customers" should converge with "happy leadership" even if it doesn't happen every single time you ship something..

If those two things don't converge, the company won't be around for long and then politics won't matter much, will they?
It being dysfunctional is a convenient stick for this crowd to beat it with, but I wouldn't discount the issues. The U.S.'s allies aren't exactly thrilled with it.
It's not hyperbolic if you believe it, and I do believe he told us exactly what he wanted to do in many different ways and acts. That's all I'll say here, I believe my own words, and from my perspective they weren't hyperbolic.

There's a lot more to SteamOS than "it ran `apt install steam -y` for you". Even just having things like Gamescope running out of the box (which is more than just `apt install gamescope`) is a huge amount of headache set aside. Plus the guarantee when it doesn't work it's because of a bug rather than something you did or some incompatibility with your exact distro setup.

The Phoenix Project has been very influential on me in my security career, at least partially because I share the name of the ineffectual CISO and want so desperately to avoid the link.

I think the book is still very applicable, and every security practitioner needs to be hit over the head with it (or at least The DevOps Handbook or Accelerate). Security generally is decades behind engineering operations, even though security is basically just a more paranoid lens for doing engineering ops; the ideas from Phoenix are still depressingly revolutionary in my field.
Appear weak when you are strong.
Back in the day, a carrier deployment w/o the loss of an aircraft was considered subpar because it was taken as evidence of not pushing the boundaries enough.

Or so I was told by a USN pilot.
Two quick points on this:

- D-Wave do not claim to be building a general quantum computer (although they willfully muddy the water on this). Their machines in principle can not run something like Shor's algorithm. It is not clear whether in general they will ever be able to run anything better than a competitive classical computer. They are just interesting analog computers that happen to use some quantum effects (almost incidentally).

- Shor's algorithm can only run on an error-corrected quantum computer. This will most certainly not be the first "engineeringly useful" algorithm to run on a quantum computer. The a more informative milestone would be "can they run error correction over many rounds of computation". All cutsie examples of a quantum computer running Shor's algorithm on numbers like 21 are just cutesie tech demos that have no chance of scaling.

Simulation of quantum systems (drugs, new materials, solar cells, batteries) is a much more plausible near-term application of a quantum computer. If it ever happens it will probably happen many years before Shor's algorithm successfully runs.
And the USP vs genode.org would be what exactly? Just Rust?
Pretty sure the birthday thing already is obvious. Has been for some 3+ years now - for at least as long as my Samsung Galaxy phone keeps generating this kind of stuff out of random photos in my gallery, on its own, every couple days. Google Photos has effectively been doing the same thing for much longer, too.

I mean, all those auto-composed photo slideshows universally suck; you've seen a couple (per vendor), you've seen them all. Easiest way to tell - music. Second easiest way - goofy title, some photos don't match the purported theme.

As for the prospectus video - that I suspect would fly, and will fly for many years to come, because whether it works depends entirely on how well this guy can sell it. Being able to talk off skimming the summary of the Cliff's Notes of a book, without the teacher realizing you didn't read the actual thing, is a skill people tend to master in high school.
This is (supposed to be) a tech forum, and when limited to tech there's not much else this could be about besides graphics, so I think the title is fine.

> Yes ok great, how do you get their attention

I'll tell you my own personal experience here: Go talk about it!

Depending on the culture and rituals at your company:

- Ask for a spot at an all-hands meeting so your team can showcase what you shipped

- Record a demo video of the team's work and share it in Slack/Teams/Yammer

- Write a post-mortem or internal blog post about the impact that your "ship" had on the business.

- Etc...

I'm a firm believer in the concept of "internal marketing" in big companies. I've had leaders and mentors repeatedly tell me "no one will recognize you in a big company if you just sit around waiting for the recognition"...

You have to put it out there and talk about it and show it off...

And yeah, I know a lot of tech folks hate doing this.. But in my experience that's how you play the game in an honest way... Find the right time and place to be proud of your work and show it off.
I'm not sure the last time we were not at war, unfortunately.
Should this logic also apply to human beings?

Some are more ‘visual, stunning, imagination engaging’ than others…
I wasn't correcting or disagreeing, just providing more info that there's two effects going on. Hot airflow always adds heat, and evaporation always reduces heat, so you only get cooling if the evap energy loss exceeds the heat transfer rate.
I pay for the top tier. I really enjoy it. I’m also someone that tries to support the alternatives. I pay to host my private projects on SourceHut too.

I love that Kagi allows me to make the huge list of domains to ignore. No more Pinterest results along with many other sites I hate polluting my results. Add in the quick answers from AI models when I end my query with a question mark and I’m a very happy user.
Last I heard they were still working on a general desktop release but it's slow going, largely due to Nvidia support.
> Alcohol's a good one - without question a hugely harmful substance overall, but we allow it. Is gambling more or less harmful than alcohol?

an exceedingly lazy skim of the literature has alcohol with all cause mortality at about an odds ratio of 1.27 [0], gambling disorder about 1.8 OR for all cause mortality w/ 15 OR for suicide [1]. So gambling is comparable to substantially worse than alcohol.

Perhaps the better rephrasing of your counterargument is "we live in a society that places an incredibly low value on public health." Gambling is an emerging public health crisis and allowing i-gaming is most certainly the wrong choice. Which probably means we'll allow its expansion at great cost to society. At least the gambling companies will get some cashflow though :3

Is it dysfunctional though? There have been issues with it (landing gear and helmets come to mind), but they don't seem to be out of the ordinary for fighter jet development. As for allies, they keep ordering F-35s (or at least trying to) so it seems like they're at least fine with it.
After watching her lecture posted to the NSA YouTube channel, I found the icon my life has been searching for.
I had a wonderful app MS-DOS resident (TSR) on my PC that when pressing a key would do a snapshot of the whole memory (or specific area) to disk, to a file. So if you play a game, and lose a live, or HP points, you keep on pressing this, and then there were tools to do the diff.

There was one game that was storing the lifes as actual text - Ninja or something....

So last year my son was hacking some games, and nowadays there is a similar tool too - also based on diffs - though with me back then it was only 640KB, and nowadays we are looking towards 8-16GB if not more!

Somehow this technique still works for some games, but with way more gotchas...

Yes, Sunny's I went there more than a few times. I worked in the Computer Center in Maytum. The primary terminal room was in the bottom of the Library. I also taught some of the CS classes. I ate at the Topiary tree more often that I'd like to admit. It was a fun time. It was very creative school with the music and design people everywhere.

Any chance you remember the italian place? It was small, 1/2 was a restaurant, 1/2 was a bar. It was named after the family. Grandma was still working, making really awesome gravy. Awesome sausage sandwiches and Beef on Weck.

What if they work for the wsj?
The wikipedia page lists 9 digit flyaway costs for other Gripen versions, so even if it includes some support, the bulk of the price is the jet.

Edit: 5th generation jets are just incredibly expensive. I can't imagine how mad Turkey was when the US bilked them for their F35s, keeping both the jets and the billions Turkey paid.

If you meant the "live tip" settings of Photoshop, you can do all that in Krita too, using the "texture", and "mask tip" features. RGBA seems to definitely be something Krita has over Photoshop, but I could well be wrong!

by the way, there are other softwares like Rebelle that try to truly simulate traditional mediums - bordering on a whole-ass physics engine that works completely different in the backend from PSD/Krita. Unfortunately its a paid software so yeah :s

I used to hang out with Jeff Dean and he told me that Google and SGI both occupied the googleplex at the same time and the SGI employees looked sad because they had to pay for their meals.

I believe Charlie's (the main onsite cafe) has been renovated a few times although the basic layout was constant throughout my tenure (2007-2019) and in fact if you looked behind the curtains (literally), there was basically the equivalent of an archeological trash heap with generations of Google and SGI documents.

Over time Charlie's got worse and worse; the food quality dropped significantly and became quite monotonous (true for the other cafes as well), and Noname (eventually named Yoshka's) did too. In fact, every great cafe I remember attending was eventually replaced with a worse version of itself.

I like console gaming because it just works. I sit down on my couch, I turn on my controller, and I’m back in my game in under 10 seconds. The series S has honestly been a fantastic purchase for me despite the many drawbacks.

PC gaming is very enticing but we all know that’s simply not how it goes down. I would love to build a PC that is literally just discord and Steam. I want to run it in big picture mode for the most part and treat it more or less like a console.

I have really enjoyed my steam deck and it has fit that desired role pretty well. But obviously it is just not that powerful. It’s impressive for what it is, but for me it’s basically a great indie game machine with the occasional AAA option that is tolerable. A well-built machine with that kind of UX (minus the known idiosyncrasies of the deck) would be fantastic.

Most Linux distros do not offer this either. Bazzite is the closest I’ve seen.
