Yes, Aerospace Engineers don't live in London because there are very little (if any) aerospace jobs in London. Biggest aerospace employers in the UK are BAE Systems and Airbus, and both have factories in much cheaper locations (Wales, Northwest of England).

You're basically comparing "super specialised job in the middle of nowhere with very low cost of living" vs a "super specialised but much more needed job in multiple high cost of living locations" (Seattle metro area, LA metro area to name a few).

Which, amusingly, required development of a customized camera to film:

> The film's SQUID scenes, which offer a point-of-view shot, required multi-faceted cameras and considerable technical preparation.[5] A full year was spent building a specialized camera that could reproduce the effect of looking through someone else's eyes.[5] Bigelow revealed that it was essentially "a stripped-down Arri that weighed much less than the smallest EYMO and yet it would take all the prime lenses.

It's an unfairly forgotten film. Much like Blade Runner, it suffers from a clunky plot but has quite smart world building.

Map, filter and reduce are typically simpler than for/foreach, because of how intermediate variables are handled and commonly there's a scope boundary reducing the risk of unwanted mutation or context pollution that doesn't exist in for/foreach/while in the same language.

I have met some "bootcamp grads", and unless they've managed to learn it on their own they tend to struggle with data structures, especially transformations and reductions. Getting an intuition for data and learning to keep mental models of it is rather important to be effective in software development. HtDP is quite good at teaching this specifically, and you also pick up several algorithmic techniques that are good to have and not very discoverable in themselves to a newbie, like recursion.

Furthermore, once you've gotten fluent with scalars and flat collections you're well prepared for trees, and when you get the hang of trees you can start programming programs, i.e. metaprogramming, since in the abstract a program is a tree traversed by the execution. From there getting good at software architecture is achievable too.
For video models, the data mostly comes from YouTube according to the article. However, YouTube now has an option to disable training on 3rd party models, which I've already done. Unfortunately, you can't disable it on first-party training (i.e. Google).

CXL RAM is something like this on the physical side. It's RAM over a PCIe connection, and PCIe is basically a very fast, serial, point to point network. However as far as I'm aware the "API" to software makes it looks just like regular, local RAM.

Maybe interstellar colonization is just never gonna be worth it?

We could already colonize Antarctica, or the sea-- those are easier to reach, supply and colonize than other planets, but we are not trying.

Most of our past exploration/settling efforts happened because there was some gain to be had; it seems quite plausible (if somewhat bleak) to me that interstellar travel could just remain pointlessly expensive regardless of technological progress.

I think the parent poster meant that two newlines in file are displayed as an empty line. That's ok. What's odd is that the cursor is allowed to stay in the empty line, as if it was on a virtual character at the end of the line. However, if the line is not empty, the cursor is not allowed to go one character right of the last one.

I work in video games, if I didn’t I would have no pool of candidates to choose from.

However if you read what I wrote:

1) Current attitude is not necessarily prior attitude

2) A histrionic tirade is not indicative of an outwardly perceptible attitude, in fact, its more common that these kinds of outburts are from a person who is not outwardly bitter enough day-to-day and is forced to be positive. (thus it boils inside them and becomes venomous)

3) Bitterness is usually the combination of a (often still) motivated person who feels let down. Your companies most negative voices are very often the ones who are passionate but sad about things. Its the “checked-outs” who you really don’t want if you’re building something you want to be good.

I should probably add that this particular Catholic school was in the UK, and I was there between 1995 and 2000: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oaklands_Catholic_School

I don't know what the rules are in the UK (or what they were at the time), but we did get school inspectors visiting from time to time.

I only thought to mention this at all because if you say "public school" in the UK you mean a school you have to pay a fee for, to contrast with "private tuition" (amongst other historical baggage): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_school_(United_Kingdom)

Ok, so the original idea of Result<T, Error> was that you have to consider and handle the error at each place.

But then people realised that 99% of the time you just want to handle the error by passing it upwards, and so ? was invented.

But then people realised that this loses context of where the error occured, so now we're inventing call stacks.

So it seems that what people actually want is errors that by default get transferred to their caller and by default show the call stack where they occured. And we have a name for that...exceptions.

It seems that what we're converging towards is really not all that different from checked exceptions, just where the error type is an enum of possible errors (which can be non-exhaustive) instead of a list of possible exception types (which IIUC was the main problem with java's checked exceptions).
The idea is to abide by the letter of the law, while making it far too inconvenient for anyone to actually do it. A bit like Apple and their iPhone battery replacement kits.
Disappointing, I don't think autonomy is nonsense at all. The position 'falcor' opened with is nonsense, in my opinion. It's weak and moralistic, 'solved' (as well as anything really can be) by systems already in place. You even mentioned them! Moderation didn't disappear.

I mistakenly maintained the 'hyperbole' while trying to express my point, for that I apologize. Reality - as a whole - is alarming. I focused too much on this aspect. I took the mention of display/publication as a jump to absolute controls on creation or expression.

Misuse of the regulations that are fired up in cases there's not enough sun/wind for electricity production - It's suspected that the companies didn't startup their production of electricity with gas/other on purpose (or, that they omited it). By this the prices for electricity skyrocketed. Then the production of electricity has been fired up with gas. Because the price for electricity was very high, the companies earned a lot.

That is investigated. There's nothing soviet in it. There are regulations how to proceed, these haven't been followed. That's all. Not a problem of demand/supply.

I tried to explain it a few times, but they weren't interested.
Yet another PoV: for some things with critical timing or so, GC might be a problem. But most of the time, it isn’t. The performance/predictability topic could also be reviewed…

I was talking with a colleague about that, he said “in C I know exactly where things are when” And I replied that under any OS with virtual memory, you have basically no clue where are things at any time, in the N levels of cache, and you cannot do accurate time predictions anyway… [1]

I’m convinced today GC is the way to go for almost all. And I was until 5 years ago or so, totally opposed to that view.

The whole budget airline market is a pile of scams.

Try booking on one of RA's cheapest flight offers, and you'll find that there are things you can't not book, like a seat on the actual flight(s)!, for which there is no zero cost option. There are zero-cost options for those things on the other price-points, but they remove this to try make the cheapest options look cheaper than the competition even thought they actually aren't.

(I assume other airlines use similar scummy tricks, I mention RA as they are the subject of this article and I recently looked into travel options for a future trip including them as an option).
No need for Ctrl: imagine simply mapping p to v and P to V.
My first experience with Perl was back in 1999. I was fresh out of university working at a dot-com start-up web agency and was asked to take ownership of a project after the developer had left the company. It was pretty straightforward CGI project, with some functions that aligned one-to-one with the database tables. Quite clean code. I made the changes I needed to make easily enough for the first couple of bug fixes or features.

But then I had to change the code behind a different database table and the function that backed it did not exist in the codebase. I found the code that called the function, but the function definition itself was nowhere. I was literally stumped and spent hours thinking our versioning system (Source Safe) had failed, or that I had been given the wrong codebase or that there was some library being called into, to no avail. (We were using TextPad back then, no IDE.)

And then I found it: AUTOLOAD. If you're not familiar, if you call a function that does not exist in Perl, then Perl will call a sub-routine called AUTOLOAD if you define one. In there you can do whatever you want and the developer who had written this particular system was parsing the function name to identify the database table and fields. So something like `set_customer_name` would set the `name` column of the `customer` table. It was both genius and horrifying.
This is a common sentiment especially in Germany, but Hannah Richie in Not the End of the World shows multiple studies where the impact of CO₂ from transport is negligible for most foods. Other factors like what we decide to eat play a much greater role.

Your plastic example is a reasonable example, but I could also counter that if plastic is the problem then locally isn't necessarily more sustainable. Local farmers can also wrap their products in plastic. In the end, the plastic is there to increase the shelf life. Even most local products will need to have a shelf life of a few weeks. It's unreasonable to demand farmers stop batching their produce and instead demand they carry a few apples to the market each day.

All modern CPUs have powerful hardware prefetchers, which are insufficiently documented.

On any modern CPU (i.e. from the last 20 years), explicit prefetching is very seldom useful.

What is important is to organize your memory accesses in such orders so that they will occur in one of the patterns that triggers the hardware prefetcher, which will then take care to provide the data on time.

The patterns recognized by the hardware prefetchers vary from CPU to CPU, but all of them include the accesses where the addresses are in arithmetic progressions, going either forwards or backwards, so usually all array operations will be accelerated automatically by the hardware prefetchers.

From a Lisp-like introduction, to OOP (in Java), then to ACL2, and finally back to OOD. It's quite interesting in its own right, but now that functional programming is more and more adopted by the mainstream, perhaps there's no need for the "practical appeal" of OOP/OOD in the mix, or does the author genuinely believe that's the way to go?
They always do this with my bookings. They say "booking appears to have been made through a third-party travel agent". All the bookings were made from the same account for the same person, yet I'm always forced to do additional verification. Tried creating a new account - same thing. Their support keep saying how sorry they are and that it's a mistake because it shouldn't happen when you book on their website, but it's just BS. But unfortunately, sometimes there are no options other than Ryanair.

It doesn't feel like it is one word at a time. It feels more like how the "model synthesis" algorithm looks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_synthesis

It might actually be linear — how minds actually function is in many cases demonstrably different to how it feels like to the mind doing the functioning — but it doesn't feel like it is linear.
> (it'd need to also save memory map

Typically the memory map is only required when capturing the backtrace and when outputting the stack frames' addresses relative the the binary file sections are given/stored/printed (with the load time address subtracted). E.g. SysRq+l on Linux. This occurs at runtime so saving the memory map is not necessary in addition to the relative addresses.

Not sure if this is viable on all the platforms that Rust supports.

> but for some reason Rust's standard library wants to resolve human-readable paths at runtime.

Ah, I see that Rust's `std::backtrace::Backtrace` is missing any API to extract address information and it does not print the address infos either. Even with the `backtrace_frames` feature you only get a list of frames but no useful info can be extracted.

Hopefully this gets improved soon.

> External debug info is also more fragile.

I use external debug info all the time because uploading binaries with debug symbols to the (embedded) devices I run the code on is prohibitively expensive. It needs some extra steps in debugging but in general it seems to work reliably at least on the platforms I work with. The debugger client runs on my local computer with the debug symbols on disk and the code runs under a remote debugger on the device.

I'm sure there are flaky platforms that are not as reliable.
> So, for all those out there suffering from imposter syndrome because your company doesn’t call you a “real developer”, that’s bullshit. If you write software, you’re a software developer.

Kind of.

I prefer the term software engineer. Engineers follow processes and measure things. Actually delivering a product is by a product of those more disciplined actions.

I consider developer to be a less distinguished title. As the article describes it’s people that write code. Writing code not imply actually writing software. During my career I have encountered a vast number of developers that cannot write software, but they can kind of write code.

For example there is a world that my career used to live in that I call framework hell. In framework hell developers write code but many cannot program original software at all. Instead they follow predefined patterns like reading from a recipe book. That’s where the feeling of imposter syndrome comes from. It’s the feeling from knowing you are in a job that you aren’t qualified to perform without so much help that its just pretend.

Engineers don’t have those insecurities because they follow processes and measure things.
Especially in things related to human mobility (biking and hiking) OpenStreetMap is much better in my opinion.

I think those are two different definitions. In the video, the engine correlation represents the amount of moves that matched the top move of a chess engine, as defined here: https://en.chessbase.com/post/let-s-check-engine-correlation...
The accuracy metric in the article is defined a bit differently according to how Lichess computes it:
https://lichess.org/page/accuracy
It’s not comparable. Both my parents have advanced degrees back in old country. But the standard of living for someone in the top 5% back home is comparable to someone in public housing in the US. If people’s alternatives back home were so good they wouldn’t abandon all their family—my family was never from anywhere besides Bangladesh going back thousands of years—to come to the U.S.
If the airplanes are completely full (which, despite all attempts by Ryanair to scare away their customers, they apparently still are). But this fails to account for "induced demand": if flights would be more expensive or less convenient, people wouldn't fly on weekend trips/holidays, visiting relatives in faraway countries etc. as frequently as they do now.
It's the first time I hear about that. Do you by any chance have more information? Or keywords where I can find more?
No. Most airlines allow you to manage your booking with your last name and PNR. Which is perfectly fine. You would usually only need an account for two things: the loyalty/miles program, and having your details autofilled next time you book.

> It also frustrates me to no end that people are so deeply incurious. This seems to only happen in tech

This doesn't match my observations. In many fields, training is limited and hides the details. We train workers to repeat specific tasks and they excel at them. But they don't have conceptual understanding. Any explanation of why things are done the way they are is surface-level. You can see it when a procedure fails for some reason. They way to deal with is to 1) do basic checks 2) try again and if it still fails 3) delegate to someone else. Nobody is going to troubleshoot or optimize tasks unless that's their main job.

It happens in construction, in the kitchens, on the assembly lines, and in the offices. It happens because it gets the job done.
> Can you answer why US companies are so good at providing value that customers choose them?

Some greasy words. Using VC money to offer subsidized services while capturing the market and killing competition has no relation with being "so good" at providing value, much the opposite.
What languages have better template syntax?
We overlook the moment when airlines started requiring a smartphone to book, check in, and fly. It's been downhill from there.
