> if compute is not a limiting factor.

If we're moving towards real time tracing compute is going to always be a limitting factor, as it was in the days of pre rendering. Granted currently raster techniques can simulate ray trace pretty well in many scenarios and looks much better in motion, IMO that's more limitation of real time ray trace. There's a bunch of image quality improvements beyond raster to be gained if enough compute is throw at ray tracing, i think a lot of dlss / frame generation goal is basically to offload more cpu to generate higher IQ hero frames while filling in blanks.

I'm just thinking about this time at a previous job, I was reviewing a PR and they decided to just find/replace every variable and switch from snake to camel case. I was like "why are you guys doing this, not part of the job". There was some back and forward on that. This is a place where PRs weren't about reviews but just a process to follow, ask someone to approve/not expect feedback.

The abstract and conclusion of the linked paper[1] is a better entry point than the article:

> In this paper we present Topaz, a new authoritative nameserver architecture for anycast CDNs which encodes DNS objectives as declarative, modular programs called policies. Nameservers execute policies directly in response to live queries. To understand or change DNS behavior, operators simply read or modify the list of policy programs. In addition, because policies are written in a formally-verified domain-specific language (topaz-lang), Topaz can detect policy conflicts before deployment. Topaz handles ~1M DNS queries per second at a global CDN, dynamically deciding addresses for millions of names on six continents. We evaluate Topaz and show that the latency overheads it introduces are acceptable.

I think the sentiment is that it feels like theres a lot of unkindness in the world and that makes it a worse place and you can either be part of that or you can make the world a better place by striving to be kind. Thats my interpretation anyway.
I like the idea of a legislative/regulatory solution, but it would be very challenging to implement successfully, because 1) it would be hard to enforce, 2) advertising companies would do everything in their power to create and exploit loopholes, and 3) it would be aggressively opposed by very deep-pocketed companies that operate huge surveillance advertising businesses.

Nonetheless, it might be wise for advertising companies to prepare a contextual advertising business model that could survive possible potential legislative action and regulatory scrutiny.

At some points, new improvement and occasionally ingenuity need to find a healthy way back into the workflow. Moreso early on, but consistently over time as well.

If we just create copies of copies forever, products degrade slowly over time. This is a problem in a few different spheres, to put it lightly.

The main rule is a good one, but the article overfocuses on it.
I've driven electric motorbike for 7 years and it's absolutely great for everyday commute. Lighter ones tend to have removable batteries so they work even when you don't have a garage with electric outlet. Some heavier ones you can even take on an occasional long trip, though that's not super convenient – it's commuting (combined with joy of riding) that makes them useful.

One does need to know where one is going to service it, though, because they can sometimes have stupid electrical issues which are objectively easy to fix but hard for you to fix on your own cause you don't know which wire goes where.

>The bad guys already know that your email is the best target. Magic links just make that very explicit.

That's a good point. I guess my rationale is that it being explicit makes me feel less comfortable for my parents/non tech-savvy friends, who already may not follow best-practices for email hygiene (and may not use email providers that enforce stricter hygiene like 2FA or other methods of protection) and thus, systems like this, make their email even more explicitly the ultimate place to go for access to stuff.

Amusingly enough, it's not misinformation being blocked or called out, it's just straight up censorship of any mention of the topic.
The whole thing is ideological. Trump and Musk are undertaking their takeover on government, and so the trillion dollar companies which control the rules of the spaces in which the vast majority of our discourse today happens, do their thing and kiss the ring.

We can debate the merits of notes vs factcheck. But it's hard to see the bullshit about freedom of speech as anything other than that: you are now allowed to express opinions that the new regime shares. Long live the king.
1) Do you honestly think they would add "fuck" to a blocklist but then turn a blind-eye to "fck"? Basic profanity filters on old forum software were more strict.

2) I find it completely inane that you are willing to self-censor yourself for an algorithm. I guess we no longer need a ministry of truth if the people just produced censored content to begin with, right?
Might depend on the niche you're in, or your location. My experience with recruiters (on the hiring side) mirrored what I heard from friends who got hired through recruiters: they're basically match-makers.

If you're not a well-known name, you can have your job-postings but you won't get any applications. Either you spend time on advertising and try to convince people that you're really real and actually really want to hire, or you just get yourself someone who introduces you to people who might be a good fit. That's a recruiter.
So weird. I wonder why it works on firefox but not chrome.
Before it has reached criticality for the first time, its contents are less toxic than hydrazine.

After criticality, the contents are more toxic than hydrazine. Nuclear reactors are safe because so much engineering and procedural effort goes into keeping the fuel and its fission products contained. The fission products include extremely toxic materials. Strontium-90, one of the more common medium-lifetime fission products, has an acute gram-for-gram lethality comparable to the nerve gas sarin. The fast-decaying fission products like strontium-89 are even worse, though by their very nature they don't persist for long in discarded fuel.
The 5090's core increase (30%) is actually underwhelming compared to the 3090->4090 increase (60% more), but the real game changer is the memory improvements, both in size and bandwidth.
Censorship, moderation, what kind of speech is acceptable, what does or doesn’t constitute a “fact”, are all political topics.

The problem with DIY perks solution is that the manchester clock+data encoding is an amplitude modulated thing and isnt really very robust to using in free space. LED bulbs, sunlight, or all manner of other stuff can and will fuss with it. This is probably why he ended up having to go with lasers instead of just a big IR blaster against the ceiling. If he modulated the OOK signal onto some kind of carrier the entire thing would be a lot more reliable and as a bonus could probably ditch the lasers. This is more or less how the infrared wireless speakers and headphones of yore (80's and 90's) did the job.
There was only one mistake that the article felt like giving a header to: "The cardinal mistake is inconsistency"

The instinct to keep doing things the wrong way because they were done the wrong way previously is strong enough across the industry without this article.

I love to

However, newer and better ways of doing things are almost invariably inconsistent with the established way of doing things. They are dutifully rejected during code review.

My current example of me being inconsistent with our current, large, established database:

Every "unit test" we have hits an actual database (just like https://youtu.be/G08FxxwPjXE?t=2238). And I'm not having it. For the module I'm currently writing, I'm sticking the reads behind a goddamn interface so that I can have actual unit tests that will run without me spinning up and waiting for a database.

> Either way, engineer wages at Google would not be a factor.

...for you. It would be a factor for who you are trying to hire. If who you are trying to hire sees Google engineers making $$$, but you are offering $ for job X, and they do not see it as an unbridgeable gap in their own aptitude, they could well say "I am going to instead try to be an engineer at Google so I can make $$$, instead of being offered $ doing X". This happens all the time.

We went to a lot of trouble to make our magic link implementation work with anti-phishing software, corp link checkers and more. https://github.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-issues/issues/629 documents some of the struggle.

Yes but clicking the link itself shouldn't log you in. Any implementation of magic links that does this is broken because of link previews.

You click the button on the page which knows the session you're logging in from and link code and does a POST which completes the login. This is how all the "login by scanning QR code" flows work.
Why is that an issue? Do you have an 8k monitor?
A big part of this advice boils down to the old adage: "Don't remove a fence if you don't know why it was put there." In other words, when making changes, make sure you preserve every behavior of the old code, even things that seem unnecessary or counter-intuitive.

But Microsoft is way more dangerous than Google. They've been using all the dirtiest tricks in the books since decades longer than Google. MSFT also has a market cap 30% greater than the one of GOOG.

Microsoft is known in the industry, all around the world, for illegal kickbacks (including to officials).

Google may be bad but Microsoft is just downright an evil company. In addition to that, as the old saying goes, the day Microsoft produces a product that won't suck, it's going to be a vacuum cleaner.

At least Google gave back a lot to open source and contributed a huge lot to Linux and to Linux's success.

I'm not saying Google is clean but they're not anywhere near as dirty as Microsoft.

The whole agenda / narrative that pushed by Microsoft shills atm is also all too obvious "You must break Google". I don't think so. I think it's Microsoft that should be broken up by anti-trust regulations enforcement.

Well, it doesn't solve the issue of someone sending you a fake login e-mail that you then mistakenly click on, that's true, but the whole point of magic links is that there isn't an auth flow; there's no password for them to steal from you.

In other words:

1. A malicious individual sends them a fake login link

2. The link can't ask them for a username and password because the site doesn't have passwords, just magic links

3. The site could ask them for your OTP code if they have one, but the bad actor doesn't have their magic link and the OTP code expires in a few seconds anyway

4. Without the bad actor actually getting access to a legitimate magic link nothing happens

It does solve the issue of:

1. You visit the site on your device at the same time as they visit on their device

2. They get two e-mails and maybe click on the one that approves your session instead

3. Your session on your device logs in; theirs doesn't so they figure it's a bug and go click the other one. Now you're both logged in.

If you require the session to be logged in by the link directly, it ensures that only the device you're viewing the e-mail on gets signed in; in the above scenario, your malicious session is never logged in, but their legitimate one is.

Can you give an example? I mean I know you can shoot yourself in the foot with any UI framework, but jQuery has no way of managing state, everything just leaks by default. Unless they’ve added something.
I also think that simple exposure to a narrative, whether it has any actual facts/data backing it up or not, is likely the primary driver of people believing it.

Now, consider that in most "free speech" societies, those with money can repeat things many orders of magnitude more than others. Over time, this results in influence. Thus, while many countries have "free speech," I'd say they don't have "fair speech." The two concepts complement each other, but one is not the opposite of the other.
Classically liberal, sure.

Modern progressives shut themselves off from any ideas they don’t already agree with, making it impossible for them to discern whether what they believe is true or not.

Of course this is also true of many religious conservatives. It’s just now equally true of those on the far left.
Doesn't this complaint assume a strict stack-ranking of contributors, where the "top" person has no reason to stay and thus leaves, and then the new top does the same, etc?

It's the same value on all machines, because integer types are fixed size (not implementation dependent) and 2's complement arithmetic is mandated.

Floating point results can vary, however, due to different orders in which constants are evaluated. The x87, for example, evaluates to a higher precision and then rounds it only when writing to memory.

Pharmaceutical companies would love for you to believe that. They salivate over the idea that they can convince you that you need their products for the rest of your life.

I'm not sure it is: from that Wiki page, it sounds like RTGs can't quickly ramp up/down power generation or turn off, which that Westinghouse page says can be done.
The human eyes are analog low pass filters, so beyond 60Hz is when things start to blur together, which is still desirable since that's what we see in real life. But there is a cutoff where even the blurring itself can no longer help increase fidelity. Also keep in mind that this benefit helps visuals even when the frame rate is beyond human response time.
> I’m wondering if it’s because the majority of people seem to be living more than 50% of their lives online. Facts seem less important in the virtual world.

Or when you're online, it's much easier to assemble a hyper conformist bubble (which cultivates a sense of self righteousness) and be rude to people you disagree with (because they're often just an abstraction you'll never interact with again, and also the enemy of your bubble). Then once developed, the habits formed in those spaces can bleed into interactions that aren't so conformist or anonymous.
Unit tests, exhaustive regression tests, and automated tests are the best way to prevent regressions.

Time spent writing good unit tests today allows you to make riskier changes tomorrow; good unit tests de-risk refactors.

All of these sorts of facts are manipulable and/or not easily knowable.

> - whether crime is up or down

Manipulable by the agencies that keep track of and publish those stats. Governments often manipulate these.

> - whether the earth is warming or not

There is a huge amount of controversy in climate science. Check the "Climate Gate" files from 2009 for example. Check out the controversies over weather station siting for another.

> - how many people live in poverty

Poverty levels vary with time and by country, and are typically set by governments. People often disagree as to what defines poverty. Poverty stats are manipulable.

> - what the rate of inflation is

You should look into what Argentina did around 2012.

> - how much social security or healthcare costs

The figures from the budget are not controversial. How much healthcare spending is wasteful is a completely different matter. Quality of healthcare is also very much subject to debate.

> These are all verifiable, measurable facts, and yet, we somehow manage to disagree.

They are not easily verifiable because they are mostly susceptible to manipulation. Therefore it's not surprising that people disagree.

> [...] And that leads to an total inability of having any discussion at all.

No, it means that discussion might have to start with the fact that there is disagreement as to facts and then you can have an open discussion about why, what is being done to prevent consensus forming as to those "facts", what needs to change to make that possible, etc.
