Isn’t Peter Thiel the guy who was paying kids to skip college?

Coincidentally I have someone who reports to me that attended Howard - the only HBCU in the org. And everyone else is MIT, Duke, Cal, Michigan, etc. The Howard guy outperformed everyone last year except one guy from Duke. The guy from MIT may be able to solve more classes of differential equations than him, but he absolutely does a better job of understanding customers and articulating the problem and goals. Note, they are all quite good though.

The skillset for academia intersects greatly with “the real world”, but the way it’s measured in academia gives the wrong impression. SAT scores may measure intellectual horsepower, but few problems are handled with that. Show me the person who asks clarifying questions and works hard — and I’ll take them even if they get a B+.
My dad is a big marathon runner and he's specifically had heart function tests (The one on the treadmill with the mask) with his cardiologist to reduce this risk further.

Man Allan Jude is a name I haven't heard in awhile. I was a big fan of Jupiter Broadcasting back around ~2013-2015, and I used to listen to "BSD Now", even though I didn't run BSD. Kind of sad how nuts Bryan Lunduke and to a lesser extent Chris Fisher have gone, since I used to love listening to all their shows while driving to and from work.

Anyway, when I ran FreeNAS in 2015, I certainly thought of Jails as containers, and I thought of them as roughly analogous to Docker. I always thought of both of them as "light VMs", `chroot` on steroids is not a terrible way to put it, as the article pointed out. They both share their host kernels and have lower overhead than something like QEMU or bhyve or Xen. I guess Docker feels a bit more declarative, but that seems more like a layer on top of the underlying tech of cgroups and whatnot than anything else.
Interesting, that was just a few short months before I showed up. :)
Today, I’m tackling another silent killer: toil. It’s the invisible weight dragging teams down, forcing engineers to maintain instead of build. While some toil is inevitable, too much of it suffocates innovation and drives attrition. Let’s talk about how it happens—and how to stop it.
"If your only source of income is W2 income, you could finish your tax return in 15 minutes."

i want to add this for my project (which use wasm) but rustlang/socket2 WASI support is not merged yet. after that rust CDP will work.
I actively do not want this in a file copy utility, relying on extended file attributes is a massive anti-pattern. If you care about time stamps, they go in the file format itself. If you care about permissions, those belong in the provisioning and access systems in front of the file. The web application or other API that is providing the access.

I expect file attributes of the target to be what I say they should be, not copied over from wherever the content happened to live before.
Believe me, I've read that essay from start to finish, but as I mentioned, it was in the heat of the moment and I didn't have much time to architect something more proper.

> When updating a useState based on another useState, don't use the first useState at all, just compute it inline. If it's expensive, wrap it in a useMemo.

Well, the problem in this case was that the affected useState was not just a pure function of the useState that caused it to be modified: other actions could modify it as well. (E.g., you have some form state that should get updated whenever a state value somewhere else is changed.)

I believe useReducer is a bit closer to the use case I'm thinking of, but the dispatch functions for that are verbose and unpleasant to write. Presumably ad-hoc closures wrapping the setter functions would be somewhat more lightweight.

> There’s this whole creation myth of how Git came to be that kind of paints Linus as some prophet reading from golden tablets written by the CS gods themselves.

Linus absolutely had a couple of brilliant insights:

1. Content-addressable storage for the source tree.

2. Files do not matter: https://gist.github.com/borekb/3a548596ffd27ad6d948854751756...

At that time, I was using SVN and experimenting with Hg and Bazaar. Both were too "magical" for me, with unclear rules for merging, branching, rebasing.

Then came git. I read its description "source code trees, identified by their hashes, with file content movement deduced from diffs", and it immediately clicked. It's such an easy mental model, and you can immediately understand what operations mean.
I do think an open source, distributed, content addressable VCS was inevitable. Not git itself, but something with similar features/workflows.

Nobody was really happy with the VCS situation in 2005. Most people were still using CVS, or something commercial. SVN did exist, it had only just reached version 1.0 in 2004, but your platforms like SourceForge still only offered CVS hosting. SVN was considered to be a more refined CVS, but it wasn't that much better and still shared all the same fundamental flaws from its centralised nature.

On the other hand, "distributed" was a hot new buzzword in 2005. The recent success of Bittorrent (especially its hot new DHT feature) and other file sharing platforms had pushed the concept mainstream.

Even if it wasn't for the Bitkeeper incident, I do think we would have seen something pop up by 2008 at the latest. It might not have caught on as fast as git did, but you must remember the thing that shot git to popularity was GitHub, not the linux kernel.
I like Python and hate to admit it but you’re right.
No one really supports it or expects it to work. The best of what you can expect from an arbitrary date system is that it naively projects gregorian regime back into the past.

In precise-historian mode this makes sense, but otherwise people just don't care and count it as "gregorian days back".

But can we afford to tear it down? The decision sounds just as radical in the private sector as the public sector. You don't just shut down your core product without there being a very swift handover process.

The example here was doctor reimbursement. So, can we afford to just not reimburse doctors as we architect a new solution to solve corruption? That strategy seems to be what people whope to achieve with Social Security. Put it "on maintenance" for a few years to "weed out corruption".

My point was that it's not an insane thing in the USA (non-German country) to hire someone for government paperwork.

Is this the most recent poll you could find? I‘m pretty sure support for Israel has drastically dropped over the year since this poll was published.

Here is one a year later from the same publisher: https://news.gallup.com/poll/657404/less-half-sympathetic-to...

33% are sympathetic to Palestinians vs. 46% who are more sympathetic to Israel. Support for Israel is the lowest since they started measuring in 2001 and is showing a pretty rapid decline. Among democratic voters Palestine support is actually greater than support for Israel (59% vs 21%). Among the youngest age group (18-34 years old) support is 48% for Palestine vs 31% for Israel.

The takeaway isn’t just the shifting demography it is also a shift in support. More Americans are changing their opinion, away from Israel and towards Palestine. Especially among the Democratic voter base.
A race condition for which of multiple concurrent users initiated a transition is not a bug, it's a scenario that commonly needs to be handled. In many cases, idempotency can be a simple and effective approach for handling this.

I remember for a short time Computer Chronicle would have a segment where they flashed what looked like static on the screen to transmit programs. You had to have some device to capture it and send it to a computer.

Edit: It looks like it was the followup to Computer Chronicles: Net Cafe https://cyborganthropology.com/TV_Modem
Apparently it was on at 17:30 on Channel 4, listed as "4 Computer Buffs" [0]. Channel 4 was an independent TV station, and one of only four over-the-air channels.

From another site [1] the show was one of a short series of 7 programmes, probably hosted by a professor on a sabbatical. You can cross-reference the time slot on the first site. In the same time slot, at other dates, are other computer-related shows like Me and My Micro [2].

In the UK, it was an era of affordable home computers and hobbyist activity in the media. There was a large variety of microcomputer systems, with one or more hobby-level magazines dedicated to each manufacturer. Television programs would often partner with magazines to present a column, recap, or serve as a reference for more detailed work. You see some screen time dedicated to building hardware, as I/O was very primitive and you had to do the grunt work yourself. Made to order PCBs and surface mount was quite a way off.

With AI feeding / scraping traffic to sites growing ridiculously fast, I think captchas & their equivalent are only going to be on the rise, and given the rise in so many people selling residential proxies I see, I don't doubt that measures and counter-measures on both sides are getting more and more sophisticated.

I think you should look at “in-brand” correlation. My hypothesis is that they would undergo similar preference trainings and hence tend to prefer “in-brand” responses over “off-brand” models that might have more significantly different reward training.
How Krea got started
It depends what your goals are. Also, some people can handle more volume than others, and some people need less volume than others. I am training for a 340 km/3000 m elevation bike ride in June and I am doing 15 hours of cycling per week which is as far as I plan to take it.

This is about 50 % beyond what I would normally be doing, and a couple of times after upping the volume I did get close to backing off because I felt like I was overdoing it, but after pushing through for a week I started recovering again.

The difference in my fitness is almost unbelievable. I can knock out 160+ km rides with no problem when in previous years I would have found them very difficult.

And beyond just results on the bike, I feel much better in myself, even than when I was doing 10 hours per week. I never get out of breath, hills I used to walk up with the dog I now realise I am walking up breathing through my nose the whole time, I handle heat much better, my resting heart rate is in the mid-to-high 40s, I have more energy, etc.

If your goal is to do well at the local 5 km run in the park then lower volume is probably fine, but in my personal experience I still don’t think I’ve hit my limit even at 15 hours per week.
I've found the opposite, if I run 10-15k once a week I can just barely maintain my fitness. I only start to see improvement with 3+ runs a week (at least 20 miles total), and one of them needs to be pushing the pace.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but the study seems to claim that running less than the recommended amount is still good, not that running more is necessarily bad:

> ...these highest runners still had trends of lower mortality than did nonrunners and only a nonsignificant trend of higher mortality than did the lower-dose runners (P≥.05). Therefore, until we have more compelling evidence on running doses and mortality, we should emphasize that “even a little is great” rather than debating whether “more is better or worse” from a public health perspective.
I'm not surprised. I think they're aware Trump is willing bulldoze them. They understand what it means if Trump ignores a court order. That's why Robert's granted the stay today in the Garcia case (also related to El Salvador prison).

I applaud you for acknowledging your mistake. So many people double down, especially in this pernicious and polarized age.
AI is just another form of automation that replaces more of the manual labor. Humans still driving it. How do you feel about photography that replaced portrait paintings? Or photoshop filters? Or computer animation vs hand drawn? I don't see any difference with AI. You can indeed let the AI output stuff automatically but it's as interesting as stock photography. Do you disagree with Carmack's assessment?

Depends on how snarky I’m feeling. I’m not sure that webdev counts as wearing big boy pants if I’m feeling frisky! It’d be interesting to analyze how much of the stack used Git as its source of truth versus being mirrored by a BigTech adult VCS!

Git sucks for serious projects. It’s certainly what many people use. But I don’t think “we can do better” is a strong enough statement. Git is bad and sucks. It’s functional but bad. We can do much much better than Git.

I like to rant about Git because we will never do better unless people demand it. If people think it’s good enough then we’ll never get something better. That makes me sad.
90's crypto exists today, NTLMv2 auth used by SMB is something like HMAC-MD5(MD4(password)).
I'll warn you that insurance companies often try not to cover a loss or all of it. They often try to cheat their customers. So, having insurance isnt equal to a structure that makes you personally immune to liability because what the insurance company will do is unknown.
I think the biggest career mistake engineers make -- myself included -- is assuming your contributions will be automatically recognized when in fact the amount of credit you receive is equal to how much you contributed multiplied by the amount of attention you draw to it.
Hayek, of “Road to Serfdom” fame believed that the government should provide universal healthcare.

That said, the only trick in the history of the human experience that consistently improves the lot of a society is taking a portion of the private surplus an applying to the public good.

Best of luck making your own interstate highway system with you and your friends though. The ROI on that one is absolutely bananas, by the by.

That said, don’t get me started on the ROI of the sewer system? Bonkers. Medicaid ? About 150% ROI in 1-2 years.

What is missing from the simple ROI analysis is the counterfactual: if Medicaid didn’t exist, what would the actual aggregate cost to the economy be?

Conservative estimate? ~$500 billion in economic growth lost annually if Medicaid didn’t exist. We spend approximately $800 billion on it annually, and get $1.6 trillion of ROI over 2 years.

But yeah, donate to the Shriners.
Yes and no. Your point about bitrate being important is correct, but you're still largely wrong.

The actual main thing about RAW is that the transforms for white balance, gamma, brightness, colour space, etc. haven't yet been applied and baked into the file. With JPEG, at least some of those transforms have already been applied, which then limits how mucn you can do as opposed to starting with the untransformed sensor data.

You could definitely do much more with a 12-bit JPEG than you could with an 8-bit JPEG, but still not as much as you can do starting from RAW data.
The UK has the same problems the rest of Europe has. It’s not special.

"Ojisan" means something like "gramps". Though given how youth-oriented Japanese culture is, I suppose it could refer to any man 35 or older.
The dissent’s point is disingenuous because the majority held that the proper vehicle for challenging the detention is a habeas petition, and that detainees must have the opportunity to file one:

> Challenges to removal under the AEA, a statute which largely “‘preclude[s] judicial review,’” Ludecke v. Watkins, 335 U. S. 160, 163−164, (1948), must be brought in habeas. Cf. Heikkila v. Barber, 345 U. S. 229, 234−235 (1953) (holding that habeas was the only cause of action available to challenge deportation under immigration statutes that “preclud[ed] judicial intervention” beyond what was necessary to vindicate due process rights). Regardless of whether the detainees formally request release from confinement, because their claims for relief “‘necessarily imply the invalidity’ ” of their confinement and removal under the AEA, their claims fall within the “core” of the writ of habeas corpus and thus must be brought in habeas. Cf. Nance v. Ward, 597 U. S. 159, 167 (2022) (quoting Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U. S. 477, 487 (1994)).

> More specifically, in this context, AEA detainees must receive notice after the date of this order that they are subject to removal under the Act. The notice must be afforded within a reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue before such removal occurs.
That's a needlessly uncharitable interpretation, but it is an interesting point.

I think that increased rates of low (and high) grade neurodivergence in men, and society expecting eccentric behavior from men, especially as they age, results in in the sort of characters that make something like this work. Umarells in Italy come to mind.

Concerned about in a "this is going to kill us" sort of way, of course not.

Concerned about in a "it would suck to miss this scientific opportunity" sort of way though... We've gone to great expense to crash things into asteroids much farther away from earth so we can study the impacts... I have to imagine there are many scientists who would love to see a collision between the moon and a large asteroid through the right instruments.
