In my experience it's the "force inline" directives that can make this terrible.

I had a coworker who loved "force inline". A symptom was stupidly long codegen times on MSVC.


The full article is linked [1] and I can view it. See Fig. 1 and quoting the actual article:

"Specifically, 28.8% of adolescent men ages 14–17 were categorized in Class 2 (no sexual behaviors) in 2009 compared to 44.2% in 2018. Among adolescent women, 49.5% were categorized in Class 2 in 2009 compared to 74.0% in 2018."

For adults the percentage was much lower -- 3.8% rising to 3.9%.

44% of men 14-17 aren't jerking it? I don't believe that.


"Software toy" is the term most famously associated with Will Wright's products.


[1] says Eisenhower grease was based on "English asbestos grease" which I assume is "Compound 219" [2]. Arnold J. Morway is credited as the Standard Oil researcher who developed Eisenhower grease. [3]

[1] is excellent, thank you! It leads to another question, how did it come to Eisenhower’s attention that this is what was needed?

And [2] promises that answer. Before reading that, I was thinking some mechanic, or perhaps a farm hand turned logistics sergeant, had to see the problem and know that a special type of grease was the answer. Then, how to communicate that up the chain, when the bosses might not know about engines in that way?

I feel this is the struggle of innovation, repeated once more but in a literal life and death context.

I’d love to know more about that part of the story.


There was an article related to this idea that received some popular attention last year [1][2] and one of the authors wrote a book on it. [3]

Thanks!


> (also "free money for surfers"? wtf)

I was curious about the surfers as well. It's a reference to something John Rawls wrote in 1988:

"[...] those who surf all day off Malibu must find a way to support themselves and would not be entitled to public funds." [1] provides context.

In 1991, Philippe van Parijs wrote "Why surfers should be fed: The liberal case for an Unconditional Basic Income", which instead supports Rawls's surfers. [2]

Watching this video caused some noticeable motion aftereffects for me.


Can you elaborate?


The bottom part "goes down" when you stop the video.


Lombard (the CEO) won't actually be in prison.

"Yet since that term is under two years and as Lombard does not present a danger to society, he will not spend time behind bars under French court rules." [0]

If that's so, then it obviously raises the question of what is the meaning of 8 months out of 12 being suspended?


I reckon it means that if he is convicted of anything in the next N years that many months gets instantly converted/added to the new sentence.

John Carmack in 1997 wearing what is presumably the exact shirt.


I think the guy in the car is Thresh, who won Carmack's Ferrari in a quake tournament:

You can download recordings of his tournaments, where you can freely change your POV to thresh, or his opponent, or just fly around, and watch him play. Pretty amazing skill!


I don’t think anyone could ask for more than this post provides.


Great find!
