No, the goal of tracking NPS is to find out whether the customer enjoys the product enough that they would recommend it. Whether the customer would recommend it to other potential customers is almost completely irrelevant. The article is the author realizing what NPS is meant for, not some hot take.

Asking "How did you learn about us?" is a question that helps evaluate your marketing and sales pipeline. Asking "Would you recommend?" is about helping your product development process. Your sales / marketing team can't effectively influence the NPS (only thing they could do is divert marketing from customers that wouldn't be satisfied by the product).
Life existed before photosynthesis. Taking electrons from H2S and oxidizing H2 coming out of hydrothermal vents.
Photosynthesis allowed primitive cells to venture out of those vents and into the world.

Therefore, it's hardly a surprise that "life finds a way" :)
* All white space in HTML and XML is preserved verbatim.

* HTML has a default presentation scheme that varies by interpreter. For everything else use CSS.

* The default presentation of white space in HTML and XML is what is called tokenized space, which is that all consecutive white space characters are displayed as a single space character. Again, you can control this with CSS.

* White space does not determine the behavior or display of other HTML tags.

* White space is a text node in the DOM. If it is adjacent to other text that text and white space are one text node, otherwise the white space is its own text node.

That should be all there is to it. JavaScript has absolutely no bearing on this subject.
Pyright infers return types for me correctly in most cases, while mypy couldn't even property infer the return type of void functions (you have to specify `-> None` explicitly).
If what ecologists tend to want to say is accurate, long term this will lead to a gap in suitability, where humans find themselves in a progressively less suitable environment.

> how can a device with Soft-CPU implemented on FPGA can be secure?

> FPGA configuration (NVCM). The only secret is UDS, 256 random bits that are baked into FPGA configuration stream, and they are protected by FPGA's read-out protection.

Correct. Here are some more interesting details:

- we're using the Lattice iCE40 UltraPlus FPGA, which is supported by open tooling and has been for a long time. During the course of the project we also had the configuration and locking protocol reverse engineered so that one can configure and lock the FPGA with open tooling.

- the iCE40's Non-Volatile Configuration Memory (NVCM) uses anti-fuse technology for storing the configuration bits, where the 0s and 1s are stored in vias on the die. The physics of how these vias are modified to represent a 0 or a 1 make it very hard to read out information using X-ray, unlike on-die storage implemented using "horizontal" e-fuses. That's the gist of it.

- the FPGA's boot state machine is unfortunately designed such that you can get it to boot an external bitstream from SPI even after you've configured and locked NVCM, and the state of EBRs (block memory) is retained across warm reboots of the FPGA. We took several steps to mitigate this limitation, which, now that I think about it, would make several interesting blog posts. The UDS memory itself is in LCs, you can mix in key material from the host, the exact timing of that is randomized, RAM (implemented in EBR) is has both address and data randomization... and a few more things.

- physical security is hard, and the TKey won't be able to stand up against any and all physical attacks, but I don't think there is any security hardware in the world that is as open and inspectable as the TKey.
It will work if you convert zip chunks to base64 first, and use a large enough training set.
I double that. Rust is great language, and I like it a lot. But usually I pick Scala whenever I can, it’s perfectly suited for complex domain.

So my rule of thumb is:
Large enterprise monolithic projects - Scala.
Microservises, serverless functions, systems where resources have hard constraints, cli apps - Rust.

Both are great languages.
Ok I'm going to be the one to ask - what exactly are we looking at?

Great to see there's some resistance. What I'm missing from this announcement though is any mention of how they intend to secure this "vault" against the current government. I'm assuming good intentions on the part of Harvard, but keeping this data online against the express will of the government is gonna cost (political) capital. And from what I can see, the archive is hosted by US entities on US-controlled servers on US soil?

This is the same thing that's been bothering me with archive.org lately, by the way. I haven't found a good way to simply (for some reasonable definition definition of "simple") contribute 10 TiB or so of redundant storage on my (european) home server either. That kind of thing might (have to) serve to ensure tamper-resistance for that data, given the current political climate on both sides of the pond. Any pointers welcome.

It's clearly not about that. You can win an argument without being right, the phrase is not win lots of arguments.

It's also not about confidence. You can be confidently wrong.

Being silent is mostly useless. If you sit through a whole meeting without saying a word you didn't contribute at all. I don't want colleagues who don't contribute.

I want colleagues who respectfully chime in when they know something the rest of us don't, that's also the colleague I try to be. It happens quite frequently that I'm in a meeting where the consensus among my colleagues is gravitating towards something that isn't correct. So then I chime in explaining why I think this is the wrong thing to focus on or why this idea won't work or maybe I have an idea I think is more likely to achieve the result we want.

I'm not going to push it or argue, people are allowed to disagree with me. I really appreciate it when people explain how I'm wrong but if they just ignore my advice I won't make a stink about that either.
Ouch. One of these is a problem.
Yes, I am saying all this in full agreement that there should be requirements for cancellations to be as easy as subscribing, which we have. That said...

Companies are a collection of people. They are not your slaves either.

Saying "I want there to be a mandate that companies auto-cancel my subs if I don't use them" can be re-phrased as "I want a developer somewhere (or a team of them) to be forced (under threat of punishment) to write a bunch of code so that I don't need to do something which is very arguably my responsibility".
I believe in this context they’re referring to an Individual Contributor. Pulling the definition from indeed.com:
> a professional without management duties and responsibilities who contributes to a company independently to support its mission and goals. While they typically report to someone within the company, individual contributors aren't responsible for managing anyone except for themselves.
> No, surely designing ”dignity” is somehow an even worse pretense than designing ”experience”

Much.

"Dignity" seems be be mostly used when it is missing — without any dignity, lost their dignity, helping others regain their dignity…

And Dignitas.

"Experience" seems still positive to me, at worst a bit cliché.

Quora had some really good content when I first started using it (maybe 10 years ago). Some really interesting people at the top of their field would post thoughtful things there.

Then after a couple of years I think it changed hands. The dark patterns started (hassling to install the app, hiding content if you weren't logged in, etc) and it all went downhill pretty quickly. I would guess that a lot of those posters migrated here, or to their respective branch on the SE network, or who knows where else

The Möbius function actually appears quite often in statistics/probability theory. I wrote more about this in the paper (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2404.14423), but in short: if you invert moments with the powerset Möbius function then you get central moments, but if you invert moments with the partition Möbius function, then you get cumulants. In fact, you can vastly generalise this by changing the mereology from partitions to ordered partitions etc.
Actually it's proprietary software that's more likely to be full of anti-patterns and flows designed in the interest of the corporation rather than the user while advanced functionality is missing because it might confuse the lowest common denominator user.

What the author implemented is a specific case of Saint Venant shallow water equations (in case you want to know where it comes form).
The reason is entirely technical and I think it has been formulated clearly - maintaining cross-language codebase, or one of the most important kernel modules FWIW in this case, certainly does not make things simpler but only more complex - communication-wise, time-wise, resource-wise, uncertainty-wise etc. I think this is pretty clear and not really debatable IMO.

The actual question is if that overhead is worth it and it seems that there is no clear answer on that question despite many Rust-force claiming otherwise. I can totally understand the position of kernel maintainers.

What I cannot understand is the following shameful, almost unbelievable, act from Hector Martin

The bug used by that repository [1] isn't the only one that can be used to escape the Safe Rust type system. There are a couple others I've tried [2] [3], and the Rust issue tracker currently lists 92 unsoundness bugs (though only some of them are general-purpose escapes), and that's only the ones we know about.

These bugs are not really a problem in practice though as long as the developer is not malicious. However, they are a problem for supply chain security or any case where the Rust source is fully untrusted.

Yeah, PpFF (Photons per Football Field) are much easier to understand, especially if you have to divided them equally between a family of Base4.

For the Metric Heads, we here in Australia use the SI unit Photons per Olympic Swimming Pool, which unit of measure is the Centiquantalap, naturally.

Edit to add: Under the modern US customary measurement system, 1 drop is 1/72th of a US customary fluid dram, and 793 and 1000 conveniently have no common factors, so it should be self evident that 3 litres is 793/1000th of a US fluid gallon. Converting that to lux or lumens is left as an exercise for the reader.

I've been guilty of thinking of lithium polymer. Most people have no idea of battery chemistry beyond thinking of the thing that comes with their phone.
I agree 100% with this comment -- you can clearly see the energy separating into its component frequencies as the solution evolves. The reason is that different frequencies of the solution propagate at different speeds. Smoothing the discontinuity would indeed reduce the high frequency components, such that the effects wouldn't appear so extreme. The shallow water equations only allow for one shock wave mode as far as I recall, it wouldn't explain why we seem to get increasingly more shocks as the solution evolves.

> I've said it in another post. Why are there so many people ready to line up to defend the powerful against the weak

Don't you see? They would give the exact same speech about the other side and absolutely believe it, and in fact so would many other people. You say one side is clearly right and the other clearly wrong - that's what the people at DOGE think, just the other way around from you.

That doesn't mean right and wrong don't exist. It does mean that interpreting real world events is often hard and people can come to opposing conclusions, either because they interpret shared facts differently, or because they're aware of things the other side isn't, or because they believe things that aren't actually true.

Right now the Republicans perceive themselves as the weak and oppressed (or did until five minutes ago), and they perceive the Democrats as the powerful oppressors. Putting aside the question of whether it's true or not, they believe that the Dems control every part of the Federal civil service and are willing to systematically lie and conspire in order to completely destroy the Republicans, up to and including imprisoning them on false claims, smearing them with coordinated fake news, and even directly putting their lives in danger by turning a blind eye to assassination attempts. They think the Dems are the side of the rich and powerful and they have solid reasons to believe that, e.g. they systematically out-fundraise the Republicans by a massive margin and right now Musk is busy uncovering the ways billions of dollars in federal funds are diverted into a 100% Democratic NGO ecosystem.

You might think all the above is obviously untrue, equivocation or whatever, but they think it's true. So be careful with rhetoric about resistance. That isn't how democracy is meant to work; such talk can be and is being turned around on you.

A bold claim.
Can I get a list of these nations?

Because last time I checked, if in doubt the US backed who is better for them not for the people of that nation.

And what’s waste is highly political.

The VP sounds like they are trying to guilt and manipulate you into doing what they want. Just move teams is my advice, and as soon as possible. There should probably be precedent for the amount of notice moving team happens in the past, find some examples (cherry picked if need be) and just say 4 weeks is standard at the org and I’ll hand over in that time. You can say you’re always available to support previous team members as required.

In conclusion be nice but don’t take any shit, this VP doesn’t have your best interests at heart otherwise they’d wish you well.
The main problem I see is that the people who get those leadership positions are usually the ones who like to overcomplicate/over-abstract things a lot.

I never wanted to become a team lead or staff engineer but the older I get the more I feel like I should.

And the worst engineers are the ones who _really_ like specific things, like really liking a certain language or a certain library or a certain tool.

It baffles me because I usually have at least a mild dislike about all tech I work with (including systems of my own design), I think it keeps me honest about the flaws of the systems I work with.
Learning from observation is the basis of science, and invertebrates certainly do that.

A lot has changed since invertebrates started doing that. Not only have we evolved more senses than the first invertebrates, we've also developed methods such as Bayesian inference to combine the results of multiple observations, as well as numerous methods for removing confounding variables such as control groups and regression analysis. Unsurprisingly this has led us to discover a lot more with science, with a lot more accuracy, than invertebrates.

And yes, updating a state from new inputs is not literally Bayes theorem, which is why nobody said it was. However, the process of updating a belief confidence from new inputs as it is done today can be modeled today using Bayesian inference. No, invertebrates don't do that--which is again, why I never said they did.

It's a bit tiresome to be corrected by people who clearly don't seem to understand that Bayes theorem, Bayesian inference, and Bayesian epistemology are all named after the same guy because they're all built on each other in that order. Yes, they aren't all the same thing, but if you're jumping in with that as if it's a correction, you certainly don't understand the concepts.
