I don’t think you can answer this for all managers of all teams all at once. Most of the time the answer is probably no but sometimes it’s not. Sometimes good managers want to code and they need to in order to stay happy. Sometimes your team is fast moving and small and your manager needs to code to keep up. Sometimes your manager is so busy managing they can’t. It just depends.
My question was about the evidence. For example, Trump introduced a 25% tariff on steel in early 2018, and yet we didn't see any unusual inflation until after the COVID stimulus.
When Germany reoccupied the Rhineland in 1936, British and French forces could easily have rolled to Berlin and deposed Hitler. They didn't, for domestic political reasons that were no less catastrophic for being understandable (war-weary citizenry, plus wishful thinking about Hitler).

The best time to have stood up to Putin was 2014. The next best time is right [expletive] now.
LA Times turns off AI commentator that defended the KKK
NY Times reporter Ryan Mac has the receipts on the AI generated commentary that defended the KKK alongside an opinion article in the LA Times. LAT has removed the comment and disabled the AI feature for now.
I was thinking about the article's idea of having a lot of tags to organize all the little documents, and I think I see what they're missing. Often, the most important part of writing is providing a coherent structure and mental model for a complex, messy system. Tags are not a good way of doing that. If you only write small documents and then have a hodge-podge of tags to group them together, you seriously risk missing the forest for the trees. People need to understand how complex systems fit together, not just read short descriptions of all the engine parts.

Xi Jinping is a dictator. His very existence is hostile to all democracy in all countries everywhere

This may be the worse regime America has ever had but let's not pretend it's as bad as regimes in countries that have actual active concentration camps right now
Correct, continuing to emit fossil fuels is cheaper than decarbonization.

But some of us are trying to stop, not merely delay, climate change.
This just sounds like gatekeeping.

I remember when Rob Pike wrote an essay insisting that `if err != nil` isn’t all that common and golang programmers clearly would wrap that logic in more fluid interfaces which would prevent the redundant boilerplate.
Any developed nation _with a well developed nuclear energy industry_ would be able to build a bomb with years of effort. There's a lot that goes into a bomb beyond refining (e.g. miniturization of warhead). And to deploy the bomb a ton of work to achieve the gold standard of a nuclear triad, plus build enough bombs to be survivable past an initial strike (to maintain deterrence).

If you learn of any countries with a secret program, let your local intelligence agency know. They monitor this closely, and intervene.
True. And Carmack and team only had so many hours in the day.
Every Trump voter I know wanted exactly one thing: lower taxes. That’s it, at whatever cost. That’s the Republican base.

For sure this is destabilizing to the security of the region.

One war at a time though.

Hard choices? There are so many. One is that Russia had to deploy a large number of air defense systems to the Finnish border, and as a result didn't have enough for Ukrainian strike drones. This has resulted in far more penetration of Ukrainian drones into Russian oil refineries and ports than would have otherwise happened, and forced Russia to allocate both capital and manpower to manufacturer larger numbers of air defense systems. Similar tradeoffs happened in other areas. For example Russia built multiple new battalions intended to counter potential NATO operations over the border, but doing this overwhelmed military training sites, forcing its sites to be time-shared and its Ukraine soldiers to receive less training, and its the cost of the Ukraine war to be significantly higher.

Asking this question is like asking if there would be hard choices for the US if Mexico entered a security alliance with Russia or China. Of course there are.

>Really loaded phrasing

The government provided MAiD to this person, facilitating their death, and the phrasing was correct. The circumstances don't rise to the level where the government should be assisting a suicide, at least not in the way that the vast majority of the Canadian public sees it. And per your other comment, there have been a number of extremely dubious cases.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/oct/17/canada-nonterm...

They currently estimate that 2% of cases don't meet the criteria, which is 100s per year. I support MAiD for its original intention (grievous and irremediable medical condition in an advanced state of decline that cannot be reversed), but any discussion about this topic without noting the Overton window is myopic.

>there's a high chance she takes on her own

While this is speculative[1], let's pretend and say...okay? That is something every person has available to them. Having the state provide the tools, with intention, is not the same.

In multiple comments you have talked about force or coercion, yet not only are we often talking about compromised people, when your government and healthcare workers and social workers are saying "You know what...you should kill yourself", if you don't find that unbelievably dangerous grounds that is a form of coercion, I think you really need to rethink things. There is an implication that is there that is just beyond consideration.

And yes, if this government was willing to end this woman's life, they should have been willing to find appropriate housing.

[1] - It is notable that many people who want MAiD go to long-lived (irony) extraordinary efforts to get MAiD. It would have been so much easier to take many, many other options to end their time among us, but the battle for MAiD basically gave a reason for living.
Printer refuses to print. "Replace toner" message.
Operating system does appear to submit to print queue. (Windows 10)

Printer toner indicator says Black is almost full (recently changed as I print mainly b/w), Cyan & Magenta are low, Yellow is empty and the one it complains about when trying to print.

I've continued messing with it for the last hour and even putting the printer into "black and white" mode, and changing the printer options in the OS to "Mono" it still refuses to print. Brothers own help page says it works [0], but I've followed these and it still doesn't print.

I've tried resetting the printer, updating the firmware and drivers, rebooting both printer and computer.

With the ZMK firmware they're using the sides usually communicate with each other. You have a "primary" side which does most of the firmware heavy lifting, including the Bluetooth connection to the PC, and a "peripheral" side which just sends raw key codes to the primary.

That arrangement means the peripheral side gets significantly better battery life than the primary, so ZMK also has an optional "dongle" mode where you connect a third ZMK device directly to the PC over USB, which acts as the primary, and then both sides of the keyboard act as peripherals so they both sip power.

As a bonus the dongle mode also means the PC sees it as a wired keyboard so it works in the BIOS, etc.
Bla Bla Bla. This article is an argument who's time has passed.

If anything, the difference between "free software" and "open source" is more significant today than ever before.

Free Software being developed primarily by user/developers, who then share the s/w with other users, who may also be developers who contribute. Whereas Open Source being primarily developed by an organization that intends to profit from the s/w, but uses a public license to facilitate getting other people to contribute to the development of their product.

The two continue to diverge, in spite of using similar licensing. Thus continuing to emphasize when a project is actually Free Software, not just Open Source is more relevant and important today than ever.
No people sign up for the military mostly because they are poor annd lower middle class and that’s their way out.

The last war fought on American soil was in 1815 ignoring the civil war and fights against native Americans.

Was Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan or either Iraq war about American interests?
USA is threatening to attack Canada. China isn’t.

Any other comparison of historic positions seems pretty pointless compared to the actual reality of 2025.

Reflect on how badly you have to have screwed up to make Canadians feel this way. They are looking at a brutal dictatorship and assessing it as a better option than the USA.
This is nuclear powered (long range) submarines.
> Because West has no means to put more pressure on Russia

This is extremely silly. The west has hundreds of billions of dollars of Russian money, the west can supply Ukraine with weapons that are more modern than the nineties era stuff we've been sending, and the west just generally hasn't taken any of the steps it would take if NATO were really at war with Russia, as Russia whinges about. Why is Russia even connected to the internet anymore?
Yes, they are exactly that. The only (current) working deterrence/defensive strategy against an attack from nuclear weapons is the threat of a nuclear reprisal.

This has stopped a war directly between the major powers for the last 70 years and is known as MAD - Mutually assured destruction.

Its not a situation which anybody is comfortable with, but it works.

Honestly, this is basic cold war history stuff. Your question above shows you are either completely naïve or you consume way too much Russian propaganda.
Medium Data and Small Data
Beautiful keyboard. Great write-up.

I would buy one at a premium price point, if you’re interested in a market data point.
It's not even adder plus register that takes a clock cycle. Chains of additions are so common that it's pretty much essential for any high performance CPU to run at the maximum clock speed that allows them to proceed at one per clock, so within the clock cycle you need the bypass path from the ALU pipe stage output back to a mux selecting either the bypass (previous instruction's result) or a register, then the adder, then the register.

Depending on the design there might be some other logic that requires a longer path in a single pipe stage, but you wouldn't want it to be too much longer.

Based on modern ISA design I suspect that a 64 bit barrel shifter -- with its 6 layers of muxes -- takes slightly longer than a 64 bit add, and everyone is taking the adder input from after the 2nd layer of shifter muxes, giving you single-cycle instructions to do `a + (b << {0,1,2,3})` either disguised as an LEA (x86, Arm) or as a specific `sh3add` etc instruction (RISC-V).

Yikes. Now you're pushing my memory. I believe there was a profiler built into Visual Studio and we had some external tool, too. We had some sort of system set up with serial cable to debug and profile. The EXE would download onto our test PC next to us.

Problem for id is that you have no sane way of profiling the DOS port on NeXT.
Nuclear proliferation is the only logical response to this administration. Tripling the number of nuclear armed countries will greatly increase the odds of a hot conflict breaking out which risks the safety of everyone in the world. Of course this fairly straightforward calculus seems beyond what trump/musk are capable of and they are actively working to make Americans safer and less prosperous is countless ways.
Yeah, I suspected this could be related. Additionally frustrating as I'd honestly not a massive fan of printer dot codes either.

Musk is a fed now, the burden of proving innocence rests solely on his shoulders.

You might argue that's unfair, but this is the table stakes for meddling in public office while also playing as executive chairman.
Me too. Low-profile is nicer to joints in the long run, and also makes me type faster due to low-travel switches. Bonus points if it has a little bit of negative tilt.

In this regard, I found Microsoft Sculpt really good because it ticked all ergonomic boxes but it didn't require relearning. However, quality was a bit subpar, it didn't offer a wired option, and it has been discontinued. The entire lineup was actually sold to Incase, who are releasing it again soon.

How do you do any of that without extensively reading code? Do you consider reading large volumes of code not "sit[ting] down and cod[ing]"? Just because you're not actually producing large volumes of commits does not mean that it's not coding.
it was free since i was on a trial, I'll be curious to see how it's priced now that it's public.
You're being awfully generous thinking this needs to look real for years. If similar big announcements are any guide then the administration will have moved onto some other shiny object in a matter of days or weeks and will never return for any followup.
Is something like redis with aof enabled an option? Assuming the rows aren't holding too much data.
Sometimes you don’t even want to recover, just do something like log it remotely so it can be seen and debugged.

Sometimes it can’t reasonably be handled until some natural boundary. A server that handles multiple connections at once can produce an unrecoverable error handling one of those connections, but it still should gracefully close the connection with the appropriate response. And then not kill the server process itself.
That makes sense, but I would expect this paradox to vanish (or at least get weaker) as you go higher in the hierarchy of technical positions (i.e. from junior to lead, to senior, to principal etc.). I would expect the workplace to somehow naturally get rid of the incompetent people, so that after a certain point you're only left with [qualified, competent] and [unqualified, competent]

This doesn't really make sense, the Chinese standard of living has risen to very comfortable levels over the past couple decades. There aren't throngs of desperately poor Chinese people longing for the capitalist democratic paradise over in Taiwan.

If anything, China's rising wealth and living standard is a threat to the United States' sense of superiority. I don't see the US saying "Screw it, let's try totalitarianism" if it wasn't falling behind.
Google's business model is selling ads, all the data collection is so they can charge more for the ads they sell. The more you trust the platform, the more info you'll willingly give to Google, the more they can charge for ads. The more you trust your phone, the more you'll use your phone, the more chances Google has to collect information. They don't need to directly "spy" on you using means outside the normal data collection where you give them data. Thus, while I agree the "just trust me bro" attitude is borderline incompetence when it comes to security. I'm unconvinced that Google would take the risk of attempting to spy on anyone out of band.

> The RTOS could be used to leak your location, the fact that you're using a VPN, any nonVPN traffic, and call traffic.

Yes, it could... so can the default software on android, and so can your ISP (DPI is shockingly powerful). But, what's the risk there? How does knowing the ratio of traffic I send and receive being VPN, or TLS encrypted expose me to additional risk?

I guess it's like Prolog in the same sense that Rust is like C? It's a modern functional programing language that also supports logical programming. I never got a chance to actually code with it though.
They’ve ran out of internet and need more training data.
I like your design choices.

Putting the micro-controllers at the far ends means the rest of the board can be lower, meaning less need for palm supports. Also I like you NOT having OLED screens - they're toys at best and one more thing to break at worse.

As for Ortho VS Staggered, ortho has the great advantage of things like WASD just being usable out of the box, and also flexibility with things like numpad layers. I've printed paper cut outs of things like the ferris sweep to see if pinky stagger would be comfortable for me, and the answer was negative. Probably very hand dependent.

Curious why aluminium and not steel? Steel is a heavier, and also has less of that pingy noise, though I have no idea about machining so perhaps it's a no go.
No, I think you remember it wrong. US steel companies raised prices back in 2018 as well. It was just that it was one tariff at the one time, and many companies were able to avoid it by moving production overseas (the tax didn't apply to goods made with steel, just steel itself).

This time, there are more tariffs coming at the same time, and the trick of moving production abroad to avoid steel tariffs is no longer viable.
I think it's more likely that over the next few years US power fades in the region and Taiwan strikes a bargain with China. The Taiwanese are extremely pragmatic when it comes to these sorts of things, and I somehow doubt they'll enter into a conflict they know they can't win. China is also pragmatic and would be willing to allow Taiwan significant autonomy if they can on paper say they've reunited Taiwan with the motherland.

Yes, that's simultaneously true with what I posted. It's a shame Trump is driving people into the arms of dictators.
Usually when studies are flawed like this there is someone with a vested interest in the outcome paying. I can’t imagine who that may be here though. Anyone have any suggestions?
Well, I hope they don't. Unless you know something the rest of the world doesn't China has Taiwan seriously outmatched both economically and militarily. The main question is if China takes minimal or significant losses in the event of an attack.

Maybe I'm overly optimistic, but I imagine an actual order to attack Canada would not go over very well with the American military, or large parts of the American population
