Loath as I am to give 4chan credit for anything positive, I feel like the article subject is slightly dismissive with its use of the phrase "stumbled upon." The anonymous 4chan user clearly did the work, it's not as though they came upon a proof written in the sand. For all we know it was a grad student with an ABD in Statistics who just happened to like anime.

But the phrasing almost implies it's not a true accomplishment because "scientists" didn't discover it.

I can't say I know exactly what that journalist had in mind, but my understanding is that he was referring to the fact that younger generations (in the geopolitical west) aren't that interested in cars and both the market and legislation are responding to this shift.

I'm not a car enthusiast, however having driven both manual and automatic cars I just find driving manual cars more fun, and I imagine a lot of enthusiasts do too. I feel more in control of the car, and getting good performance feels like it's taking skill, even in a slower car. I don't think I'd find anything satisfying about driving an automatic, but faster car, in the same way.

This is a straw man understanding of the Metaverse. If you actually read how it was described in "Snow Crash", you roughly get this definition:

"The Metaverse is a vast, immersive virtual world simultaneously accessible by millions of users through VR and other devices, highly customizable avatars and powerful experience creation tools. It is integrated with the real world economy and compatible with external technology."

I break it down here:
https://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2022/02/sl-metaverse-stephenson-sn...

There are many multiple platforms which have most or all of these key features, including Roblox, Fortnite, VRChat, and a dozen more, which have over 700 MILLION active users.

You're describing META's version of the Metaverse, which is so confusing, Meta's own employees say they don't understand it:

Just out of curiosity, why did you use two languages to write CodeTracer and not just one of them?
Maybe. Writing a publication is a lot more work than a post on 4chan, even if it's a good post.

If it's not your field you might well not bother to write the paper. (After all, it's not your field, somebody might have solved it since it didn't seem that hard, and do you really want to do an exhaustive literature research for a fun puzzle you worked out?)

Probably because we stopped distinguishing between the hard working poor and the indolent poor, among other reasons.

Nobody trusts the government not to throw the money away giving it to their friends who administer NGOs, or staff up huge offices of administrators, or give it away to encourage lifestyles the majority disapprove of strongly enough that they’re willing to go without themselves to prevent it.
I used to enjoy the magazine and am basing my negative opinion (expressed above) on reading experience on more recent readings.

Insider trading laws are formulated around prosecuting persons that have a contractual duty to the company that act on company-internal information before its published to stockholders. Politicians do have unpublished information about laws and regulations that will affect companies in the future, but they don't have any specific duty to the company, and the information is not exactly company-internal, so it doesn't count as insider trading by technical definition.

I've ever seen a proposed reformulation of these laws that would redraw the lines clearly enough to prevent abuse by politicians but not impede legitimate cases. Maybe the best solution is to ban politicians from trading individual stocks, only broad market indexes / mutual funds.
It's been a very long time since I was involved in teaching basic coding but were I to plan such a course now, I think I would not even consider including automated grading. In fact, I think I'd focus even more on individual and group feedback, lab sessions, remote/office hours and the like. Those things become even more important the easier it is to produce and hand in something you don't really understand.
Those numbers are two decades old. Shortly after they were made public there was a union negotiation with UAW where new employees were permitted to have far fewer healthcare and retirement benefits. It's been 20 years and GM has maintained a regular cadence of layoffs and buyouts for tenured workers, so the modern workforce is almost entirely those much cheaper employees.

This comment shows up in every single thread about Linux laptops, but my Thinkpd X1 Nano gen 1 with an intel i5 running arch Linux KDE Plasma had this issue solved out of the box when I purchased it in 2021. The only thing that didn’t work was the 5G modem, but I believe that has been implemented now. Surely 4 years later we can agree that the complaint is outdated right?

>I had a manager once who, if she would spot someone on their phone in a meeting, would put them on the spot and ask them a question relevant to what the team was just discussing. Some people would call that a "dick move" but I'm actually supportive of it. If you're supposed to be paying attention, get off your phone.

Fully get it, and that manager was quite right to do what they did. I occasionally bring my phone to meetings, but it's because I run a company and sometimes I'll have interesting data that might be relevant at a given point in a discussion. It's more to help move the meeting or conversation along in a helpful manner. I generally bring pre-meeting notes in digital format, and then a pen/paper to actually take physical notes when I'm talking to people. People generally don't find it rude if I look down to write something important down versus looking at a hpone.

I'd like to be able to do this as well, but I might get pushback as most of the people I meet with are significantly younger than me (I'm 35 and do sales to health/wellness establishments, most of the time I'm dealing with 20-somethings).

>I really don't like how society has just normalized whipping your phone out in the middle of human interactions.

Agree 100%, however, in the context of biz meetings, there could be reasons for it. Perhaps I'm hard of hearing and want to record the conversation, for note-taking purposes, or perhaps, there's an interesting data point I might have in my digital notes that might back you up even more in a meeting. I'm just playing devil's advocate in a situation that is quite realistic. I personally hate when people are on their phones in meetings or otherwise important interactions.
I believe most people having that million wouldn't spend it to find the fulfillment in life, but would end up increasing their life style by slacking off, drugs, expensive cars and items, etc. And the million would be gone in months and you would be left with just bad habits, dopamine hangover and no idea of the further direction in life.

> So where's the kidnapping?

It doesn't look good when you start arguing about semantics when English is not your main language, so let me help you here: When you take someone against their will, it's called kidnapping.

Here's the definition:kidnapping, criminal offense consisting of the unlawful taking and carrying away of a person by force or fraud or the unlawful seizure and detention of a person against his will.[0]

So clearly they were kidnapped and held by force, some were lured which is also kidnapping by definition, and it's well known by the way, another example: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64582985

So not only are you lying, you're doubling down spreading misinformation, and you're accusing others of providing you with sources of being liars.

Yes it does. It is just short of a 4090's memory bandwidth.

It's still far away from an H100 though.
The fundamental confusion here may be the misconception that pro-people pro-liberty or pro-progress means anti-state. Or that the new people are anti-state in any way that means well for most people.

It seems entirely consistent that the people most alarmed about law enforcement and intelligence being handed over figures who are indicating they don’t intend to use it in a principled manner are critics who’ve seen how even less extreme more accountable people have used these roles poorly. The new team seems headed in a direction that might make poor past iterations look principled.

“Burn it all down” is good cover for people who want to selectively burn things down for their benefit (but not their things).

Sure, but you can rip it, save it, backup it, restore it from a backup, "download the backup from a torrent site", etc. It stays available. Even other media, like gameboy/nes/snes/... cartridges can be ripped and stored for eternity, and full game collections are easy to store on current storage mediums.

Most people will play the game when they buy it, for some time... in modernish times, the cd/dvd will be used only once (no one expects you to keep the cd in the drive anymore when playing), so the disc should be good for a decade+, much more than most of the modern game services stay online, and requiring them even for single player games is a scam.

I was JUST making a demo showing that sorting is different per locale (using String.prototype.localeCompare() in JS) and I was SHOCKED that Spanish no longer orders things "langosta, lugar, llama" but rather "langosta, llama, lugar." I had to redo things to do German vs Swedish sorting (In German, ä comes between a and b, whereas in Swedish it comes after z). So here I was thinking that the browsers were sorting naively, but in fact they are more with the times than I am.

Emotions can have a large impact on memory, as far as I know. They provide the catalyst, in a way, in the process that forms memories. If you are depressed or otherwise not emotionally engaged, it can become much harder to form memories.

Solve emotional problems and memory may improve. (I have no idea if that applies to you, of course.)

> short term memory

Which sort of memory do you mean? Short term memory is remembering a name while you write it down, not remembering it the next day or week.
I don't have much advice for you but I can tell you the statement, "I would feel sick at my stomach just looking at code in the morning" resonates quite strongly.

I just got laid off last week and was looking forward to taking some time, but someone last night strongly advised me not to wait as Spring is hiring season. I should probably start looking.

I'll tell you what I really hate, is when you get short on vacation during a burn out period. Then you really see how trapped you are.

Got it. That is very nice.
To me it looks like the article is largely told from the perspective of ISPs connecting themselves between each other, and how the constant analog/digital conversions between carriers were causing problems sustaining the 56k data rate that the (analog) last mile was always capable of... and how converting their internal systems and backhauls to digital solved that issue.
I would propose a lineup where spending more money won't result in less features.
When I was working at a Bike Shop, I was standing on one side of the display, talking about what I was going to do and how I was going to do it. It was a very in depth external monologue (I have both like yourself). As I was coming around the other side of the display, the owner happened to be standing there and said, "Wow, that was some kind of a conversation you just had with yourself. I hoped you were able to solve whatever problem you were discussing." He had a big grin and we both laughed about it.

He told me later he too does a lot of internal monologue for stuff as well and was told by some super successful businessman that this is a good thing and a hallmark of successful people so don't be discouraged by it.
I think they're more often convinced that their thing is just worth stealing. There are many such things.

The other side of this is the catastrophizing bias. Some people fall into the trap of always assuming the worst outcome in every situation. The post mentioned COVID, and there were just as many people on that end of the spectrum (expecting it to be much worse than it actually was).

You see this attitude all the time in prepper communities.

> PRs are public and email patches are receiver's inbox only, right?

Not necessarily. For a 'lone wolf' project that might be the case, but some projects have public mailing-list archives, e.g. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lightning/

I think it would be necessary to do some manual copy+pasting, or else use custom scripts/tooling, to turn such mailing-list archive pages into patch files (for git apply) or mbox files (for git am).
>It's almost certainly because I come from the Enterprise Tech world rather than Software Dev world, where the default state of infrastructure is permanent and mutable, forever. Modern devs, who (rightly!) like immutable containers and block storage and build tools to support these deployments by default, just don't get why the Enterprise tech stack is so much more different

This is generally true, but the interesting thing about Terraform is it was created specifically to work in the world of "immutable by default." This is why Terraform automatically creates and destroys instead of mutating in many (most?) cases, shys away from using provisioners to mutate resources after creation, etc.

Modern computers do far less actual multitasking than most users realize. Yet we still call it "multitasking". Sufficiently fine-grained task switching is indistinguishable from actual multitasking. Also, is it really even task switching if I'm concurrently reviewing information directly related to the discussion topic?

If you were in a position of managerial power over me, and you saw me doing this very thing to maximize my engagement with the topic and task at hand, what would your response be? Would you "make me put my phone away"? Would you cause a distraction by interrupting the discussion to focus on my focus management tools?
you mean unbelievably based
The use case I have encountered was for anonymous users where the company wanted to prevent unauthorized clients (copies of the app) from relying on the same server-side HTTP API used by the official app. The point wasn't to make it impossible for an unofficial to be used, but to make it harder than "trivial".

So the app used a digital signature / request signing with a key that was obfuscated and embedded in the binary. With anonymous users I don't know how else you could avoid use of the private API.
> Rely on trust and feedback, not process

Process is important when work is handed off from one team to another team. Any company with a non-trivial product will have a non-trivial team size; and thus it'll need to standardize how people hand off work.

It doesn't have to be onerous: The best processes are simply establishing boundaries so lazy people don't throw their work over to the next person. (IE, "I won't work on a bug without steps to reproduce and an unedited tracelog that captures the failure" is a good boundary.)
How rough they are is dependent on programming. The Getrag DCT I had in my BMW was amazing and beat the ZF-8 on crispiness, speed, and weight.

Where the ZF-8 wins is stop & go traffic. The DCT will do its very best to minimize slip, where the ZF-8 just doesn't lock up the lock-up clutch.

But once you're moving the DCT was butter smooth, with selectable engagement speed.
