The more heartening lesson one might take is that we can each infuse the world with delight, community, and excitement by consciously engaging in the traditions, rituals, and fantasies that provide those to us.

Rather than becoming disillusioned by learning that reality is so mundane that Santa doesn't even exist, one can become empowered by learning that whether or not the world feels mundane is something we can control ourselves.

Most kids won't be able to come to that conclusion on their own, of course, so it's a bummer that it seems like nobody was able to convey that to you and that you just felt pointlessly betrayed instead. I hope you've found other ways to teach your own kids the underlying lesson.
It’s also possible to work on projects, or in languages, or on systems where resource consumption isn’t a high concern. I wrote cobol for sun and hpux and these big old systems had plenty to go around. Important software comes in all shapes and sizes, as do their developers.
C was suggested, but I find Go to be good too for this purpose, you get some of the low level memory access (stack vs heap stuff) but don't need to worry about memory allocation or whatnot. Great for showing the differences in algorithms.
$20/hr fulltime is ~40k/yr or ~$3300/mo. As just one benchmark: can you find housing in your area for $1100/mo?
I'm guessing there is a lot of negativity towards the Vision Pro here, lots of it deserved. However, the immersive video aspect is the one thing Vision Pro delivers that I think is truly unique and new. I'm not sure that is enough to support a $3500 hardware product, but I encourage anyone to try the demo and utilize the immersive video. It was an otherworldly experience for me, and news like this is very exciting as it will allow more content to be available.
> "Is this a serious question" is hard to take as anything but an insult.

So is "I, as a non-photographer, openly question the utility of this pro-photographer tool to pro-photographers", though.
> Not always, but often enough that an introductory article that presents an overview of different memory managment techniques should maybe use the longer name to avoid confusion.

Referring to garbage collection as tracing garbage collection creates more confusion and should be avoided.

It confuses folks into thinking that there is some garbage collection that isn’t tracing. There’s no such thing.

> What's your opinion on the term "RC with cycle detection" that some use for things like Python's GC?

Depends on how you detect cycles. Python uses a garbage collector. Therefore I would say that python has a GC and is a GC’d language.

> Moving to a conservative GC might also introduce memory leaks, if you're unlucky.

Folks who adopt conservatism in production do so only if they have a story for avoiding those leaks. (That’s what we did in JavaScriptCore.)

> But yes, "tracing" gc and rc obeviously behave very differently, and have very different performance considerations.

Just call it “GC” and everyone will know what you mean. No need to be a contrarian and put “tracing” in front.

And it’s not perf considerations if it’s the difference between your program running at all and crashing. Failing to collect all cycles as RC does would cause a program written in a GC’d language to simply crash if it ran for more than just a short while. Failing to invoke destructors the way RC’d programs expect, which would happen if you tried to switch to GC, will cause observably different behavior in addition to possible performance issues.

Healthcare, decent sized apartment, 5 weeks of paid vacation, free or easily affordable pre school, overtime pay, decent schools and free college, is a good start. Then some left over on top after essentials so you aren't living paycheck to paycheck.
Outside of a direct connection into the brain, doesn’t it seem a bit unlikely that we ever discover some sort of psychological method of achieving significantly better attention grabbing for individuals or (harder yet) groups than what we’ve already got?

The stuff my cartoon addled mind can picture is akin to brainwashing with a black and white spinning spiral. That or extensive, repeated exposure to certain stimuli, clockwork orange style.

Better priming seems like the best we could hope to achieve, in a sense, outside of things we’d probably be better off not getting into?
No, I've seen them do the work. Refactoring those React components genuinely takes ages.

Considering the comment history of the person you are talking to (basically only ever replies to fight over social justice), I think they must be mentioning a real trend.
CinemaDNG is an open standard. I am using a camera with CinemaDNG support. It came out around the time BM did the bait-and-switch. Another model came out a couple years later, also with CinemaDNG support. It shows that BM is using RED as an excuse to lock people in.
No, this is for 180VR immersive video. There are already plenty of stereoscopic, non-immersive cameras.
Checked errors are not unique to Java. Rust, HNs darling baby, is praised on this forum every day for checked errors. Swift, F# and countless other languages have checked errors.

There is nothing wrong with checked exceptions and there is really no difference between a Result and a function with a checked exception.

fn a() -> Result<String, SomeError>
String a() throws SomeException

The issue is not with checked exceptions but with Java’s syntax. They have not given programmers the language syntax to easily deal with checked exceptions. You cannot easily escape them without boilerplate and they don’t work correctly across lambdas. This is why Rust ships with ?; Swift has shipped with try!, try?; and Scala ships with try as an expression and is experimenting with checked exceptions that work across high order functions [0].

Programmers across every language ecosystem are moving towards checked errors and away from unchecked runtime crashes. Even Kotlin, a language that shipped with unchecked errors, is planning on adding a form of checked error handling [1].

The prevailing evaluative mechanism would note that you could take that million dollars, invest it in a 4% annuity, and move next to the national park of your choice with $40,000 in your pocket every year for the rest of your life. Indeed, there's a whole movement called FIRE of people who do things like this.

But there's also people like me, who say that sounds great but don't really mean it, because it's cringe to admit that you care about money.
Hard to buy a core competency
The museum also includes the battleship USS Alabama, a good collection of aircraft, and then some tanks, artillery, and other equipment. My grandpa took me there every summer as a kid and I could never get enough.
Moreso than the "this exact Canon lens on this exact sensor" I think the question is more "why not this Canon lens approach on normal high-end camera so you don't have to buy a 30k camera which does one specific thing". You do answer that but maybe not in a way that's directly obvious to general extension for those not versed in professional photography or videography.

Blackmagic does have e.g. a 12k non-stereo Ursa Cine but, like you hint at, whatever they can have in the non-stereo can always be better in stereo because a 2x sensor setup has 4x the sensor area as a 1/2 sensor setup. Sensor area (for equivalent class sensors) determines the quality of the recording. When quality is what's important to a professional setting then it doesn't matter (in this market segment) there is a solution which is 20k cheaper if it's always going to be inferior by design. They don't expect to sell many of these to professionals even so it's fine it doesn't make cost sense to the average person.

The rest of everything (recording workflows and settings, IPD, framerates, editing software) can all be identical with either approach but the sensor area is sensor area and there is nothing which can be done to fix that.

Rats can drive little cars if you give them the right brain computer interface. Rats are gangster.
Meh, 3D printed guns are a stupid example that gets trotted out just because it sounds futuristic. In WW2 you had many examples of machinists in occupied Europe who produced workable submachine guns - far better than any 3D-printed firearm - right under the nose of the Nazis. Literally when armed soldiers could enter your house and inspect it at any time. Our machining tools today are much better, but no-one is concerned with homemade SMGs.

The Venn diagram between "people competent enough to manufacture dangerous things" and "people who want to hurt innocent people" is essentially zero. That's the primary reason why society does not degrade into a Mad Max world. AI won't change this meaningfully.
"but I doubt anyone in the south (outside of the irish channel) really gives the New York Times opinion on southern language much of a second thought."

Weird take. It's not like just because some portion of a Southern state is anti-elitist or whatever the state is devoid of New York Times readers. I grew up in a middle class setting in the South and every house I ever entered had a copy of The New Yorker. There are NPR stations all over the country. The South is not a mono-culture.

That depends on how you set up and do your monitoring. Not every failure needs to be indicated by an HTTP status code.

For example, on a server I'm working on there are helper functions that generate different types of responses. Responding in certain ways will produce a 200, but will also log a warning or error.

On the client side, you can create request helpers that all requests go through and that can resolve requests appropriately, rendering error messages to the user etc.

The main thing is to have a well defined, consistent approach.
Bluesky: A Land of Unicorns, Rainbows and Death Threats
Let me spell it out for you. The likelihood that When someone dies that it's from murder is less than 1%.

From your logic, that means because the likelihood is less than 1%, murder should never be investigated.

Police investigations, forensic science, DNA matching, murder trials, Detectives are all rendered redundant by statistics.

You can compute this too. ANd you can use your incredible logic here: Facts > murder.

You need to see why that situation above doesn't make sense. Once you do, you'll realize that the same exact logic that makes that situation make no sense is the EXACT same logic you're using to "compute" your new conclusion.

You need to realize there ARE additional facts here that render quantitative analysis impossible to ascertain and hand waving is the ONLY way forward. That is unless you want to actually go out there and gather the data.

You know logic, deduction and induction are alternative forms of analysis that can be done outside of science right? You should employ the former to know when the later is impossible.

Maybe surprising to hear white people saying it, but most black people (or people who grew up in predominantly black neighborhoods) throughout the US have been using it for a long time. I would assume that's a byproduct of The Great Migration.

It is very interesting how hard the EU is pushing on these very small issues. Compared to politics in general, this is a very niche topic.

In general I think the EU has quite mixed results. Some things they absolutely did get right, but others were complete failures.
Probably more like trace amounts of heavy metals and other things like benzene or residue from other substances from the vessels. Stuff that would be awful to consume but likely won't make much of a difference in fuel. Like with anything else, the price will increase for how ever pure you need the substance to be. Using alcohol as a solvent doesn't require much purity, any other alcohols in the mix will still do the job. If you want to be able to drink it, then the alcohol needs to be as pure as possible.
For me it is 2-3 times a year, which is a major pain. I have to switch every billing service over manually. Sometimes bills lapse. I have even had replacements stolen from mail and used.

I had a similar experience when I was younger and made a similar resolve. Unfortunately my spouse considered it very important to produce and maintain this deception so I took a hands-off approach and simply didn't engage with the ruse.

I put presents under the tree with recepients addressed, but no from field.

When the children got old enough to actually ask me directly about it I told them the truth (and got some flak for it from my partner). Fortunately by that time other conversations I'd had with them about dragons, ghosts, and gods allowed them to integrate this knowledge in what I believe to be a pretty healthy way, but I've always felt uneasy about this casual dismissal of children's agency.
Also, the most common scenario for this camera (and most pro-level production cameras) is that they are rented per-job. Eventually it would makes sense to buy one if you have enough work for that camera, but most people and productions start with rentals.

You are not refuting what I said. The company is doing what it can do to maximize revenue and reduce costs. If you are working at such a company, that reflects on your skill more than anything else.
Dvorak is supported by almost every computing device under the sun today. Old Apple models (I want to say the IIc?) even had a hardware button to switch layouts. Switching between Dvorak and Qwerty is usually an easy to find User setting. (If doing it on someone else's user account, you just have to remember to be kind and switch it back when done.)

As a Colemak touch typer I envy that some days. Colemak is available easily everywhere but Windows. macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux all have it similarly out of the box with Dvorak, but Windows it still requires an install and that install still requires Admin approval because keyboard layouts are needed by kernel-level drivers. But I knew that when I switched, took a few years to realize there's no shame in hunt-and-pecking on QWERTY when using someone else's machine.

(I was also privileged when I switched to know that I didn't need to use shared machines. I was far enough along in grad school where I was allowed/encouraged to do everything on a personal laptop, and the few remaining "lab classes" with shared machines all allowed Remote Desktop. That took advantage of things like if you remote desktop back to one of your own machines, your remote machine still responds to your chosen layout once you've logged in. Just have to hunt and peck long enough to type your machine's address, username, and password.)
The level playing field is interesting.

My initial thought is that's a great idea. But then I start to think about how college classes are supposed to build on what you already know. Your math department doesn't begin with addition, the English department doesn't start with picture books.

Perhaps the real issue is forcing everyone with experience to start over at the beginning.

If you think of it from a return on investment/expected value point of view, why would you ever take time out of your day to refresh yourself on linear algebra and other numerical methods assuming its not out of personal interest just to apply somewhere that already has so many barriers to entry that don't exist elsewhere, on top of admitting it will not pay as much as other positions that would require these skills.

I'd rather spend my time focusing on applying at other positions that will pay just as much if not more without being required to spend nights and weekends relearning a skill that is just not used very much elsewhere and not requiring security clearances, and why would I waste my time applying there when other jobs that do require these skills compensate more for the effort.

On the other hand if this company did pay closer to Meta salaries (the comparison they used) then it gives all candidates, including US citizens who fit more of their eligibility criteria, that much more incentive to actually relearn these skills and makes the expected return on investment potentially worth it.
If you go back through my Hacker News comments, I believe you'll see this. Perhaps look for keywords "GPT-2", "prediction", and "agent". (I don't know how to search HN comments efficiently.) I was talking about this sort of thing in 2018, though I don't think I published anything that's still accessible, and I'd hardly call myself an expert: it's just obviously how the system works.
One important feature is laws requiring a high standard of care. Medical providers can be sued if they don't provide care meeting some defined standard. This prevents economic tradeoffs that would occur with other forms of consumption.

One can view standards that maintain a certain level of quality as privileging the well off, requiring an industry to cater to their preferences over those of other classes of consumers.
You are Correct.

Just sometimes I hear people on the 'right' say we don't really need to take action on X,Y,Z problems, because humans will adapt, and we've been around for thousands of years, so we are really just over-reacting.

They ignore that, yeah, humans will be here on a geologic scale, but the US wont, Congress wont, Constitution wont, we're going to collapse into a bunch of warring city states, and where is their precious outrage then? It wont matter if they believed it was all a hoax, when they are dead, but we'll all be dead.

So discussing time scales in short term, <100 years is important. Generally, for planning.
They're just echoing Black Magic's own pitch that it's "designed for" Apple's platform and format, and that's evidently true given the specs and features. I don't think of that as misleading.

I personally don’t like that every single cryptography scheme is included in a single library. This creates a fake sense of powerfulness, but breaks down once some more complicated things need to be done such as zero knowledge proofs or homomorphic computations when it can become awkward at best. In a sensible language one makes seperate modules for hashing, cryptographic group library, pseudorandom number generation, cryptographic signatures, various zero knowledge proofs and TLS and uses package manager to install what one needs.
Spanish is a fun example of the euphemistic treadmill applying to pronouns. Usted comes from "vuestra merced" meanining "your (plural) mercy" but refers to a singular person. We can take that to mean that the second person plural "vosotros" already was a plural-meaning-formal-for-singular thing and then that wasn't enough and we got another word based on it. Fascinating!
