Google is just egerious on another level, the difference between them is that while Apple might clampdown on some obscure rule (or due to the random reviewer assignment), they're usually at least human and unless in litigation can be reasoned with to an extent.

Analysis of an advanced malicious Chrome extension
Your scenario _sounds_ convincing, but does it really work? Surely an attacker has a massive advantage in the element of surprise. If you see them coming (short of some sophisticated surveillance system), it's because they were impatient.
We can never capture all the value we create in the world. The more value we create, the smaller proportion of it we can capture.

Education is the quintessential example of this. Preschool is an incredible investment [0] but the payoff happens far away in time in space. While you can't capture the value generated by running a great preschool, you certainly benefit from a community of adults who had strong early childhood education... thanks to investments from other people at some other time & place.

An expansive mindset is required to benefit from these kinds of investments.

Hate to disagree with you over GP, with whose comment I mostly disagree too, but:

> you fully (except in rare cases) control the factors that lead to obesity.

Not really, unless you're a homo economicus rationalus and are fully in control of yourself, independent of physical and social environment you're in. There are various hereditary factors that can help or hinder one in maintaining their weight in times of plenty, and some of the confounding problems are effectively psychological in nature, too.

> A solution to obesity is not to exercise but a varied diet, and eating less of it to match your energy needs

I've seen reported research bounce back and forth on this over the years. Most recent claim I recall is that neither actually does much directly, with exercise being more critical than diet because it helps compensate for the body oversupplying energy to e.g. the immune system.

I mean, obviously "calories in, calories out" is thermodynamically true, but then your body is a dynamic system that tries to maintain homeostasis, and will play all kinds of screwy games with you if you try to cut it off energy, or burn it off too quickly. Exercise more? You might start eating more. Eat less? You might start to move less, or think slower, or starve less essential (and less obvious) aspects of your body. Or induce some extreme psychological reactions like putting your brain in a loop of obsessive thinking about food, until you eat enough at which point the effects just switches off.

Yes, most people have a degree of control over it. But that degree is not equally distributed - some people play in "easy mode", some people play in "god mode", helped by strong homeostasis maintaining healthy body weight, some people play in "hard mode"... and then some people play in "nightmare mode" - when body tries to force you to stay below healthy weight.
I hope this is the future for Python. Write in pure Python, but if needed, the code can be JIT (or not JIT) compiled into something faster (provided your code does not rely too much on low-level python stuff, such as __ functions).
> To me, redoing things that are not orthogonal implies that the older version is being fixed

The older version is being improved, especially for ergonomics. Regarding your examples, ranges do not obsolete iterators, they are just a convenient way to pass around iterator pairs, but actual range are better implemented in terms of iterators when they are not just a composition of ranges. Similarly move semantics has little to do with nrvo (and in fact using move often is suboptimal as it inhibits nrvo).

Again, I have no idea how constexpr and auto have anything to do with macros.

When it comes to the Americas, the entropy of the entire field of Archaeology is way too high.

Up until 5 years believing that humans were there more than 12k years ago was heresy. Today 30k is the accepted number, while some people are pushing it past 60k.

The belief that there were "civilisations" in the Amazon was also heresy, but now with LiDAR and deforestationthere's megalopolis being found that probably predate both the Andean and Mesoamerican cultures. There's also a set of anthropological elements connecting Andean and Mesoamerican cultures that seem to have their elements in the Amazon - like they share the same origin stories, a very similar god, etc

Anyway, Hancock is a a bit of a crackpot, but he's probably less wrong than everybody else, because we only have access about 1% of all the stuff that can be found in the Amazon, whatever written records that existed from Mayans and Aztecs was destroyed by the Spanish, and every single piece of new evidence seems to point in the direction that there were large organised cities in the Amazon

Imagine if everybody in every software company was an "engineer," including the executives, salespeople, and market researchers. Imagine if they only ever hired people trained as software engineers, and only hired them into software development roles, and staffed every other position in the company from engineering hires who had skill and interest at performing other roles. That's how medical practices, law firms, and some other professions work.

For example -- my wife is an architect, so I'm aware of specific examples here -- there are many architecture firms that have partners whose role consists of bringing in big clients and managing relationships with them. They are never called "sales executives" or "client relationship management specialists." If you meet one at a party, they'll tell you they're an architect.

Apparently it's the same thing with scientific research. When a lab gets big enough, people start to specialize, but they don't get different titles. If you work at an arts nonprofit writing grant applications, they will call you a grant writer, but a scientist is always a scientist or a "researcher" even if all they do is write grant applications.
> I'm not willing to leave the company
You often don't get your choice here. Someone had to be the "top guy" and you lost for whatever reason. They however recognize you are good and so offer you a fallback which might even be an opportunity to prove you are great not just good.

The real question is what you do about it.

You can turn the bad project around - something they probably hope you do, but this may not be possible. There is a small chance they are trying to get you to fail or quit so they can get rid of you, but that is unlikely. Even if you don't turn the old project around, making good plans and showing leadership in a sinking ship can sometimes work out (but sometimes not), and it could be your 2 year duty in a bad spot before getting a new one.

You can tell the director you want a demotion to something in the old project. This usually looks bad, but it might be right for you. Taking this almost assuredly means you are forever giving up promotions. I'm guessing that you want the top position on the old project and so it won't be right for you.

You can find a new job elsewhere. Right now things are down but you can probably wait it out and then move.

Don't forget you can re-evaluate in 2 years! If a better opportunity comes up take it, but I would recommenced you give this new position 2 years of honest effort to see how it really is. 2 years is long enough to figure out a plan to turn it around (it won't turn it around but will have a plan). 2 years is enough to know if the stress is too high and you want a demotion never to raise to senior staff again. 2 years is enough to know if they are just putting you someplace and bringing you back or not. 2 years is enough to know if you like the new project. 2 years is enough to know how the people on the new project are. Right now you seem stuck in the early phase where the magic of a new position is lost but you don't know enough to be effective.
Well, my contracts pretty much all came through my network, someone recommending me, and then clients recommending me, and so on. Not sure if I just got lucky or if this actually works, but my first step would be to tell some relevant folks you know that you're doing this now, see if they have any advice or know someone who might be interested. Another approach would be to ask the consultancy you work with if they want to add this service you can provide to their portfolio, see if it's something they could sell to existing or new clients.

However, these days, people seem barely OK with paying for a recruiter. They think just because more people than usually are looking, they get to just lean back and great candidates show up.

IMHO, if anything, it got more difficult to hire. More noise to work through, people in existing roles are more reluctant to switch, candidates hustle more because they need a job etc. I absolutely think it's a useful service. But I don't know if it's easy to market.

So you've read works that build on Necromancer earlier. Care to share some of those books/authors and concepts?
Nowhere in the US can be really. It's not as diverse culturally as "Europe" but it's more diverse than most countries by a lot.
Which is kind of funny since you're talking about UofM, not Stanford or MIT. It's a good school but there are literally hundreds of good schools in the US.

In my experience lots of folks educated at top top tier institutions are pretty humble about it, and acknowledge places where other institutions are as good or better than their alma mater. A coworker of mine recently got his MBA from Penn which is not only Ivy League but consistently ranked top 2-3 MBA programs in the country, and currently tied with Stanford for #1 according to USNWR. He never brings it up, doesn't really talk about it much when it does get brought up, and I don't think I've ever heard him criticize anyone's education or experience unfairly (we've sat on several hiring panels together).

The problem is when you go to a good-not-great school. If the top 10 schools for a particular program are considered "Tier 1" the people who went to #15 or #20 are going to be absolutely horrible to work with. It's like they think they need to prove they could have gone to a better school but didn't for whatever reason.

I avoided this trap by only going to small schools nobody has ever heard of.
I really find this fascinating - great article. As an experiment if you like, can anyone identify anything about me from this post? And if not, why not? Would love to know.

I am a sci-fi nerd and I also found Neuromancer incredibly boring,

I'm curious... if you're willing to say, when did you first read Neuromancer? And had you read a lot of other cyberpunk themed media beforehand?

but that's probably because it introduced so many concepts that others went on to refine.

Yeah, if you'd already been exposed to a lot of the core ideas / themes from other more contemporary works, I can see how that might take away a bit from the Neuromancer experience.

To give a counterpoint... I first read Neuromancer about 1993 / 1994 or somewhere in that range. And I believe it was the first cyberpunk novel I'd read. I think maybe the only other media from the cyberpunk genre that I'd been exposed to then was the "Max Headroom" tv show. Anyway... Neuromancer absolutely blew my mind and I was instantly hooked. To this day it's one of my favorite novels, and I've re-read it several subsequent times. And will almost certainly read it again (and again...) I can't get enough of it.

Of course it's hard to say exactly why our respective reactions to it are so different. There are a lot of variables. But I think your notion from above has a lot of merit to it. If one experiences a derivative (or many derivatives) of something before the original, does the original them come to feel like a cheap copy?

I've had that experience with cover versions of songs before. That is, times when I heard and loved a cover, and then only later heard the original. And in many (maybe all) of those cases, I still preferred the cover over the original.
I think this is the crux of the matter. We lack a baseline cultural context. Turns out you miss it when it's gone.
Then US tech companies will crumble and we won't have to catch up to anything?
It's not the laws it's the skirting around. Chinese sellers are already notorious for waaay under declaring package value so buyers aren't hit with customs charges. So many packages cheap enough to be sent without insurance but expensive enough that customs duty should be collected.
Run for city council or the school board. Boom, now you're a "politician".
I'd say excessive commercialization so that the whole activity is centered around buying and selling, or most members are gearheads who rarely go out and do stuff, etc, is definitely unfortunately common. But I see it mostly as an individual failing, enabled and made worse by media environment. Tune out.
Yeah how American is hip hop anyway?
I'm exactly with you - with the added Complication that when somebody does endurance testing (e.g. Backblaze), by then a) manufacturer started using different components for that SKU, and / or manufacturers no longer produce those SKUs. Almost by definition, you can only see endurance when it's too late (see the ibm desk star saga).

Bottom line, you can try to trust the manufacturer reputation, purchase channel, and price points / specs, but you can never be sure - so backup like crazy :-)
Where would the dumpsters go? Serious question, the impression I get is that there is no room in many places in the city.
Ooooh, this is so cool. I didn’t realize I was seeing projected ‘makeup’ on faces until they showed some lower latency prior work. Once I saw it, I could see occasional misalignment. But, this is just an awesome and fun thing. I can imagine it being just amazing for live theater costuming and story telling.

That said, it looks like the tech currently works at 1-2m range. I’d guess this is because that’s an easy range for a projector to work at and provide high res, in which case there’s no reason you couldn’t get a zoom setup going.

Perhaps some enterprising director of the next Disney theater production will put the money in to get this working reliably on stage.
I have a never updated blog, but I'm not an active research scientist.

This might be related to or be an offshoot of Fomenko's alternate history? One of the tangents in his theory, as I understand it, is that there was a large pseudo-Russian or proto-Russian empire that has largely been erased but was incredibly influential and was mingled into every aspect of antiquity -- basically the idea is that every empire pre-1000AD in the western world was the same empire.
I thought the problem with it was the lack of space.
That's a tremendously expensive way to detect fraud. There's funding, but also the people replicating need to have at least near the expertise of the original authors, and the rate of false positives is clearly going to be high. Mistakes on the part of the replicator will look the same as scientific fraud. Maybe most worryingly, the negative impact of human studies would be doubled. More than doubled, probably- look at how many people claimed to successfully replicate LK-99. A paper may need to be replicated many time to identify unknown.

Maybe first we could just try specifically looking for fraud? Like recording data with 3rd parties (ensuring that falsified data will at least be recorded suspiciously), or a body that looks for fabricated data or photoshopped figures?
Yeah, this is the general effect of "the thing in power", not just of capitalism. Capitalism, communism, feudalism/monarchy, colonialism. Once something is sufficiently entrenched, even resistance to the thing must be done in reference (and in context) to the thing being resisted against.

There are many layers to this, but the most "practical" is that the very structures and language of the status quo very much threatens to infect and limit the scope and form of resistance.

This is literally the idea that NewSpeak took to the logical extreme.

Capitalism is perhaps uniquely infectious in how "simple" (and therefore flexible) its core tenets are.

Swift has been working seamlessly with Linux and Visual Studio Code for years now. You might be surprised to learn this, just like this guy was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTP5c4NqA8k&t=5484s

Swift is compatible with WASM and embedded systems. It has a well-defined concurrency standard, and as a compiler, it's been tested with massive codebases worldwide.

The community is incredibly supportive (Ted Kremenek's team is super active, attending community conferences and supporting the Server Side Workgroup). They also have an open swift-evolution process that mostly works.

Xcode not being open-sourced? Not a big deal. It's an older codebase optimized for different use cases. Their approach is to break Swift down into smaller, focused components (Package Manager, LSP server, a formatter, etc.)

JetBrains didn't open-source their IDEs either, and people don't complain about it. So, it's the same story, but it's better since you don't have any historical issues like "Oracle JVM" lurking around, causing trouble for the community.

I moved back to the south after living out west for 20 years and it is insane the amount of trash dropped by trash workers while they are dumping bins.
