These are good points. I hadn't thought about the perspective that the central processor in a heterogeneous multicore system may spend a lot of its time orchestrating rather than computing—whether it's a GE 635 with its I/O controllers https://bitsavers.org/pdf/ge/GE-6xx/CPB-371A_GE-635_System_M..., an IBM 360 with its "channels" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_System/360_architecture#In..., or a SoC with DSP cores and DMA peripherals—but it's obviously true now that you say it. I've seen a number of SoCs like the S1 MP3 player and some DVD players where the "central processor" is something like a Z80 or 8051 core, many orders of magnitude less capable than the computational payload.

(One quibble: I think when you said "HeartBleed" you meant Meltdown and Spectre.)

I think there have always been significant workloads that mostly came down to routing data between peripherals, lightly processed if at all. Linux's first great success domains in the 90s were basically routing packets into PPP over banks of modems and running Apache to copy data between a disk and a network card. I don't think that's either novel or an especially actors-related thing.

To the extent that a computational workload doesn't have a major "scheduling" aspect, it might be a good candidate for taking it off the CPU and putting it into some kind of dedicated logic—either an ASIC or an FPGA. This was harder when the PDP-11 and 6502 were new, but now we're in the age of dark silicon, FPGAs, and trillion-transistor chips.
Thanks! I'm glad you like the idea—it sounds like you've had the same struggles I've been through.

How recent was the quote? Anywhere near 486 through Pentium, and the quote makes absolute sense. He wouldn’t have been optimizing for smaller architectures.

I agree there is some overlap with what engineers should know about the business, I guess it's just a matter of where the line is drawn. I also think one of the factors is the size of the team and also the structure of the org. If an org is large enough, then it can afford to have engineers specialize in doing just engineering without thinking about the bigger picture, so long as they have a clear goal in mind. That said, my experience with large orgs is the opposite and it's where they push engineers towards management and leadership a lot more than in other smaller orgs.

In my opinion the productivity of engineering should come from the engineering itself, especially with software systems. Software is about automation. The better the engineering, the more productive the org becomes. This potential is hurt by having engineers worry about what the customer wants or how the business works in detail. But yeah, this varies with what the type of business, and the size and structure of the org.
I think in general it's a very good article and I like the summary in the end how the different interventions can also have trade offs.

The only thing I would disagree with is the recommendation of the uHoo monitor. There are many people not happy with the accuracy and AQSpec, a US EPA test center, also tested the unit with pretty bad results.

Thanks for sharing, OP! :D I’m the creator of the DIY Multideck, and honestly, I didn’t expect this much interest, it’s super exciting to see!
I agree that the main pain point is teaching new users how to use the deck. I wrote such detailed documentation because this project is very niche, and I thought board game geeks would love all this knowledge. However, after completing it, I realized it’s overwhelming for a quick “Getting Started” guide. To address this, I’ve been thinking about creating a video tutorial on how to use the deck and writing a separate simplified manual, something more accessible for casual users.
My next challenge is that I’m not making any profit from the deck right now. I’d need to lower production costs, invest in branding/marketing, and figure out distribution. Basically, find a publisher or handle it myself (probably through crowdfunding). I feel like I’ve got a validated MVP because real people are buying it, and with some improvements, it could reach a broader audience. Any thoughts or advice on this?

I know that there is the saying that goes something like “a grand jury will indict a ham sandwich,” but at least there is an acknowledgment there that being publically accused of a crime can come with a pretty high cost to the accused, and that is worth some process.

I served in a grand jury in NY and it was overall a pretty positive experience. Yes, the standard is lower and at times it can feel like a rubber stamp, but we did refuse to indict in two cases where we decided the DA failed to get us to “more likely than not.”
In reality we'll probably end up with a lot of shitty apps on your phone which may or may not successfully sync to your main fitness platform.
Oh, I see...

I think I was thinking about reflection in an entirely different way. When I think Reflection I think mostly static and generative reflection -- so you can introspect on data structures, derive [whatever] from that, generate code, whatever... but you still cannot do [whatever] to the thing you reflected on. (Other than whatever the language says you can do as a public consumer of that API/structure)

So you can, say, add serialization code, generate property test instances, whatever.

What you cannot do is do anything to "invade" the thing being reflected on and change its meaning.

Some degree of effort is required to _not_ use et (Ephemeris Time) and, by practice, a spacecraft clock adjustment (SCLK) would be initially loaded.

The developers would have gone through this routine (initially load SCLK, use Ephemeris Time) literally _thousands_ of times in their coding, developing ... preparing, making .... careers. It's the SPICE baby.

With a socialized healthcare system the system would have delays and you'd get the screening every 2.5 years, even if it was scheduled for every 2 years. Because of wait lists.

I dropped of Twitter, and Facebook in 2014 (or around that time); and I have not missed a single important event since then.

People think they need Facebook, X, whatever to stay up to date. Not so.
I have a few online newspapers/sites I scan a few times a week, and that's it.

IMHO (and it's really just MO), Twitter, Facebook and alike are a 100% useless waste of time.
(Maybe Facebook had some use in the beginning for staying in contact with more "friends" than I could have by other means.)

I feel better for it. And as I said, I will guarantee you that won't miss anything important going on.
Another pretty obscure Canadian non-PC 8086 or 8186 was the NABU 1600 or 1200 (never did figure out which was the right number). NOT the NABU that ran off the cable network.

512K RAM, MMU (discrete logic), 4x serial, 10MB hard disk, floppy. No keyboard or video interface; you were expected to use serial terminals, typically three of them for users, with the fourth port used for a printer. Ran Xenix 1.0 which was basically V7 Unix ported to the platform. No networking except what would run over a serial port.

I got a fully working one at a garage sale for $40 in the early 1990s and geeked out with and learned quite a bit about Unix on it for a while. Since it had about the same limitations as a PDP11 and Minix (64K code, 64K data) there was, in those days, a fair bit of software that could be made to run (i.e. lightly ported) easily. I remember getting a vi clone going that used 63K of the possible 64K code space. V7 didn't have a fullscreen editor stock.

Long gone now. By the time Linux became my main OS a few years later, this was still in the "junk" category rather than "valuable collector's item" category and I gave it away.

> Are those really your reasons?

Yes. Space is an expensive luxury where I live. Doesn't matter _how cheap_ the ramp(s) and jack(s) and stand(s) are. I'm going to use them ~5 times a year and the rest of the time they're going to be taking up space that more utilized tools/materials/stuff can occupy.

The few $ i spend every ~ 4k miles on oil changes is worth it. Mechanic does it faster than I could because they have power lift and it's second nature to them. While they're under there, they call anything else that's worth it to my attention, too.

My next car will not need oil and then those cheap ramps will _really_ be a waste of space.

Value of a product tends to be measured by the number of features shipped, the quality of service and time to market. But knowledge of the team is hard to evaluate and to sell to a manager.

It is good if developer has already it, he is more productive then. But when he explicitly puts effort into gaining knowledge, then he does not deliver during that time so maybe he should not be paid for it.

I can't imagine a relationship between a manager and a developer where knowledge is valued higher than delivery. It could work only if the manager also believes in this value. I think he could believe in it only if he is sure that this project will pay off in the long run. In the era of a fast-changing world, he is putting the value of delivery and satisfying stakeholders on a higher rung.
I can't believe there is nothing a person would be interested in building/exploring with that much resources. I simply can't grasp it.

The expensive prostitutes and yachts and cocaine and butt kissing hangers on would get old very quickly. So you need something to do, a reason to get up in the morning. A project.

Understandably everyone doesn't want 12 kids and not everyone is altruistic. That's fine, the world might be better with less rich "altruists" pushing society around anyway in my opinion. But you have no curiosities? Nothing you have always dreamed of achieving? Nothing you can think of to achieve that would bring you joy?

Go to India, buy some property and have a giant pyramid built with a statue of yourself on top. You can employee thousands of people and act like a king and push local officials around with your money. People will remember you hundreds of years from now (if that is your thing). Work on bringing back the extinct Mastodon. Create an island quasi kingdom on a Pacific Island and build a little world how you always wanted it to be.

Honestly, this is one of the differences with the new immigrant rich people. They aren't the rich American immigrants of old. Look at what Andrew Carnegie did. Or even (for all his faults) Musk. Or Kellogg (of cereal fame, not an immigrant). He did all kinds of wacky stuff even developing his own religious texts. But point is, he did something he thought would change the world. These new rich are vapid uninteresting shadows compared to those guys.

My impression is that "right" and "left" wing are fairly vague terms that don't really mean much.

But in this case jumpcrisscross is identifying political violence as an almost exclusively religious (technically muslim which seems a bit off to me, but whatever) or right-wing phenomenon - presumably including political violence against leftists and rightists as perpetrated under the banner of the right wing (although note in another comment he has clarified his position somewhat). If leftists declaring autonomy and militantly seizing a chunk of Seattle isn't terrorism to him then there are some interesting meaning-of-words questions to resolve here - like what he think "right wing" means. It might be that political violence is by definition right-wing to him.

Extremism isn't something that has been accepted as a right-wing position, historically speaking. The right wingers - like everyone - prefer to enact policy from government. Anti-government vigilantism is one of those highly ineffective strategies that nobody really lays claim to.

> When you take a job, in most places in the world, by default, your employer owns and/or effectively controls all your copyrights.

Is this really true? I haven't checked my employment agreement, but I'm pretty sure that my employer only controls the copyrights for a) work I do for them, and b) any other side work I happen to do in my employer's field (which never happens).

AFAIK, work I do on my own that is unrelated to my employer belongs to me, and I've never had anyone from my job try to assert otherwise. (I have plenty of publicly-visible code on GitHub that they could glom onto if they wanted, although none of it is commercially important.)

Edit: My employee agreement says "I understand that the
provisions this Agreement requiring assignment of Company Work Product do not apply to any Non-Company Work Product that qualifies fully under the provisions of Section 2870 of the California Labor Code, or any similar state invention law."

That labor code says "Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the
employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those inventions that either:

(1) Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the employer; or

(2) Result from any work performed by the employee for the
employer."
Interesting. My next door neighbor ten years ago was a lawyer a couple years out of law school. He discovered that he could pour through hundreds of medical charts a day and find cases where the doctor under billed the insurance company. He would then sue the insurance company, settle, and split the profits with the doctor. More or less he was mining the charts.

He would sometimes pull up next door with a half dozen tote boxes overflowing with medical records. He would say "hey, dataviz1000, can you help me get these into the house?" He once asked me if I wanted a new job helping him go through all the charts. I don't get involved with illegal activities and I was earning more not breaking the law elsewhere. He did hire a young woman who graduated law school and was still working on passing the bar. Since they have married and started a family.

Yes, HIPAA laws got broken! Yes, this guy made 10s of millions in a few short years.

Probably would make a good start up using LLM and bringing the process into compliance with HIPAA. There is probably several billion dollars in insurance companies that have been under billed.
I only understand this topic a bit because I write software for authorities that do vehicle registrations and in some cases individual approvals (type approvals are done by others) in an EU country. And my takeaway from contact with them is that they have a huge leeway in individual approvals, so I would put the blame squarely on them, and the solution would be to legislate that away (ban those ind. approvals that are obviously circumventing the usual road vehicle restrictions incl. size, noise, pedestrian safety etc).
