It's often simply misleading / bad writing. Here's one I just got about some crashes:

"If the crashes stop, the factory overclock is marginal; run a small negative offset."

This looks like it's saying: "If the crashes stop then we know the factory overclock is marginal." (This makes no sense.)

What it's trying to say is: "If the crashes stop then we can run a small negative offset, because the factory overlock is marginal."

What I would write: "If the crashes stop, we can avoid crashes by underclocking slightly. The speed difference between that and factory clock is marginal."

My first job, in California, was just transitioning to leetcode-style interviews in 2007 following the industry trend. So it was probably spreading around that time.

Take a CO2 meter into a hotel, office, convention center, etc in summer. In many, it will be at 1200+. I've seen up to 2500. This is due to "green" interior air recycling that just happens to save companies a few dollars on air conditioning. How much of society is operating under this lower IQ condition?

I take it as a sign of typical increasing corporate dysfunction. Obvious problems, some even easy and uncontroversial, don't get fixed. Why?

The people who can fix them are not in control. The org must be very top-down. But Steve Jobs had a top down style, so what's the difference? Its: Using and caring about the product.

It's top down direction with the people at the top not using/caring about the product. Presumably they're concerned with other things like efficiency, stocks, clout.

Useful take, thanks for mentioning specifics. Some of these I wasn't aware of.

- What makes load balancing easier with SSE? I imagine that balancing reconnects would work similar to WS.

- Compression might be a disadvantage for binary data, which WS specializes in.

- Browser inspection of SSE does sound amazing.

- Mobile duplex antenna is way outside my wheelhouse, sounds interesting.

Can you see any situation in which websockets would be advantageous? I know that SSE has some gotchas itself, such as limited connections (6) per browser. I also wonder about the nature of memory and CPU usage for serving many clients on WS vs SSE.

I have a browser game (few players) using vanilla WS.

Still one of my fastest drives, and extremely durable. It's too bad.

An intriguing idea! I like this approach for being an innovative interface to SQL. I wonder if it would reduce cognitive load when interfacing with the DB.

I'm a game dev and often need to avoid situations where I'm using '.map' to iterate an entire array, for performance reasons. It would feel odd to use the concept, knowing it wasn't really iterating and/or was using an index. Is that how it works?

I don't care if VCs take risks, I want to be nice.

> Tokens Don't Lie

> But how do people feel about these topics

I find it notable that tokens don't necessarily express people's feelings. Put another way, tokens aren't how people feel, they're how they write.

Samstave mentioned in this thread that Twitter is a 'global sentiment engine'. I'm sure that's literally true. Sentiment measurement is only accurate to the degree that people are expressing their real feelings via tokens. I can imagine various psychological and political reasons for a discrepancy.

If you did sentiment analysis of publicly known writings of North Korean administrators, would that represent their feelings?

I think the interplay with free speech is interesting here: In a setting where people feel socially and legally safe to express their true opinion, sentiment analysis will be more accurate.

Is there no harm, or is there harm that is hard to show in court?
