Well, that's a sentiment I don't quite agree with. It willfully ignores industry experience with c/c++ whence zig, rust, D, and others. If your micro controller is say <5000 lines maybe ... but an OS or a mellanox verbs or

Ousterhout's grad students did work on ramcloud with some research at facebook and Amazon on cache use at scale in complex organizations. One bit of interesting trivia say for facebook (from memory): if you add all the RAM caches in re

"Don’t get me wrong, I’m not rah rah rah America at all, I think the countries policies suck on a lot of levels" The most direct, biting, focused, insightful criticism on America? Americans via familiarity breeds contempt. Europe

Well duh! You coulda just said Europe is about equality of outcomes through high taxes (nothing is "free"). That's not a passive-agressive insult. To the contrary Europe made its mind up and does it.

Great great list. Nice write up. Refreshing. Bookmarked. Will share. Cheers to hn for getting this on the list. To quickly reflect on two items. (2,3,4) speak to me and I can say my father was a great model of it Plaudits to OP. Never seen

I knew a great graphics design artist ... really talented. Besides logos, slogans, art she could run print lines. Then www came out and she became despondent. Any fool can do this now she said. She was in NYC at the time. I told her 82 mil

Social media makes it possible --- indeed there is a payoff for doing so --- to take extreme positions that most would not do face to face. Getting a rise out of people is now ends to means. Getting recognition for outing a perceived flaw i

That's a generic answer to op's post which while compelling in spirt is also generic. A first class model of a supply chain for assembly manufacturing and an (even bitemporal) accounting database are just wildly different domains.

RFK's move (if true) is cheap political symbolism. It's not science. It's BS. But that's not today's question. Where is power, agency, missing for the RFK's of the world? Call that X. Ideally RFK would telescop

Funny I should come across this. I am agreeing with op in a different way. The more the software work is proper engineering the less other factors dominate. Roughly speaking rank as follows: - safety/embedded (high) - algorithm intense

I'm will give this more consideration; thank you for the comment. For now I just want to add you hit a bit closer into the slight of hand in Cantors argument (for me) which is alluring but hard to surmount in the last 10% of the argume

Right? If you use snap chat for meetings emojis, "dude", "bro", "like then he said, and i was like..." etc would be the communication denominator. It'd be fun, silly, and stupid

Thank goodness somebody takes security seriously. The cynic in me (opposed in strongest terms by the realist and give-a-damn in me) says: Whitehouse? Go for it. You'll probably leave more stupid (confused) than you went in.

If I had a semester or two of free time I'd love to hit this subject again. I once told my math prof (logician) who made a comment about transfinite cardinals: careful it's powerful but it's power from the devil. I half regre

>Undoubtedly a big opportunity area for LLMs Are you kidding me? This is the laziest, campiest, knee-jerk point I've run into in quite sometime. I expect, as my co-workers expect of me, to learn and improve. Writing is a core part o

Agree! Definitely. Always. All day long, and twice on Sunday. Effective communication is both about the parts (details) ---AND--- composing the parts into an integrated whole. You gotta have both. So don't screw it up by lapsing into a

Critical subject. In engineering * Do not assign writing or communication tasks to hackers, nerds, techies, dorks. Assign to engineers * Periodically retrain engineers to write * Let sales do sales. Don't confuse sales with marketing.

Correct. The best liers like the best bullies are really good at assessing risk. They're honest in close when they sense they're butt is not on the line.

The best lies are corporate lies. And those lies are said plainly, calmly, and with a sense not of conviction but rather it it's not a serious claim because it was always a true statement ... just repeating it now. They are also uttere

This article has all the hallmarks of a corporate drone + corp speak + nominal corp TL training. It's nice; it's humble; it's positive. It's a waste of time.

Sorry to disagree. I've put about 10 hrs into a P Lang model I started in spin. My experience so far: it's finicky, documentation subpar, missing basic operators (bitwise), cumbersome dragging in donet as a install prereq. I'

The OP had a point to make then made it. It's refreshing. And, moreover, I'm smarter for it. Well done. Thank you for posting it. As readers may see from my recent comments elsewhere, there's a ton of junk out there. But when
