"AWS" seems like a much more useful delineation over "cloud system management" than "Java" does over "Programming"

I could be super wrong but I'd expect a Java programmer to become useful on a C# project faster than I'd expect an AWS person to become useful building out other cloud infrastructure.
I see no duck: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Chess#/media/File:ST_Ba...

I would consider the possibility that your water-based memory is flawed, and you were already primed to think of a duck by the time you tried to recall the details of the queen's design.

Edit: or this could be an example of the Mandela Effect, and you just switched from a universe where the designer was shocked by their bosses okaying a superfluous duck!
I wonder if there has ever been a similar attempt by a crowd instead of a single billionaire. For example all of Twitter users buying the company together. I read of some DAOs buying a football club before. Wonder how long it will take till we see a DAO taking control of a public company.

Also the idea of having potentially millions of activist investors in the same company is kind of unsettling but interesting at the same time.
The previous video did a time comparison. He shot 7 targets to Legolas' 6. In this video he's noticeably faster.
Slack in itself is terrible these days. For a company allegedly worth billions, it is a terrible application and is starting to show its age. Even the threads feature they added was horrible from a UX perspective and felt like an afterthought.
Using docker force you to declare step by step what you need to build/use your code. If you combine that with good CI/CD, that easier to provides help to the junior developer if you can quickly reproduce the environment.

I had a bad experience with a project that I was assigned to "help". The build steps documented used incompatible lib version. It's hard to help if you can't even build/run their codes.
Why would it be? It'll naturally keep your list of followings small (as a large one will be unmanageable) and promote quality over quantity.
Yup. Basic work trucks are predominately bought by construction companies for their crew. After that, they become luxury vehicles.
It's 4240 cores total, Oracle Enterprise DB is $47,500 per core. So ~$201M.

Java SE is priced per processor. $17.50 per month at that CPU count. And so, a relative bargain per year at 17.50 x 12 x 1060 = ~$222k / year.
The default for Drag-Recalculate is "false" so a developer would need to specifically choose to enable this functionality.
App Academy claims on their homepage that SF graduates receive an average salary of $100,000. So unless they are blatantly lying or fudging the statistics somehow, it's not BS.

A very short guide to Chicago Pizza in Seattle: For many years there has been Wallingford Street Pizza... similar to Giordanos: cheap ingredients, incredibly cheesy, somewhat classic. Now there's Kylie's Pizza, a more natural cornmeal-laden crust and fresh ingredients style, more analogous to Edwardo's in Chicago. Very impressive.
Well, in the future the go runtime might require more detailed stack info other things to enable future things like concurrent garbage collection. Also, different implementations of Go have different requirements and calling conventions.
I'm the complete opposite to you. I respect your opinion, so I think the question is even more important to ask. I'm not interested in working for a company where everyone is antisocial and the only interaction is through code reviews.
This is just my opinion - purely conjecture based on my own experiences.. As someone who has done the very thing that you are questioning, I know that the following have somewhat been a motivation for me...

It is a very common tactic in interpersonal political debate/discussion in the U.S. for one side to discredit another's opinion by quickly painting their sentiments as "anti-American" or "anti-patriotic" - I've generally seen this tactic put into play by our right-leaning conservatives.

I think that the 'disclaimer' of stating that you are in fact a patriot is often merely an attempt to derail the oft-used "SEE - YOU'RE A FREAKING LIBERAL COMMUNIST WHO HATES PUPPIES, KITTENS AND AMERICA! YOUR OPINIONS ARE NOW INVALID!"

As sad as it is to say, political debates in the U.S. are rarely about what's ultimately right or wrong... It's a contest and it's about winning... Not for everyone, mind you - I'd far rather lose a debate than defend an incorrect point - but for a lot of people, it's about yelling louder and forcing the other to concede.

Case in point.. Years ago, I worked in a field that exposed me to A LOT of military - active and retired... In a "friendly" discussion regarding socialized healthcare with a person I admired and respected, I stated that I was 'ok with paying more taxes if it helped fix our healthcare system'. He quickly became heated, immediately turned aggressive - yelling something to the effect of "YOU WOULD STEAL MY MONEY AND GIVE IT TO A [racial derogatory term omitted?!"... He then proceeded to pull his knife off his belt and wave it towards me in a threatening manner while continuing to rant about me being a Nazi, before stabbing the knife into a counter and walking off in a huff as he continued to cuss me out...

We are an interesting and odd mix here in the states...

The reason that Whatsapp massively took off in certain parts of the world, and to an extent even replaced the public-telephone system (e.g. restaurants and other local businesses may even want to be contacted by Whatsapp, not phone), is because SMS is expensive, but data is not. Sure, you might be in a part of the world where SMS is a viable option, but for many people it no longer is, and instead of asking for SMS you might suggest an alternative like Telegram or Signal.

That's why scientific revolutions happen, since researchers in the existing research program(paradigm) don't want to give up the core hypotheses, by protecting these core hypotheses by auxiliary hypotheses to withstand any criticims, anomalies, etc. Imre Lakatos calls these auxiliary hypothes protective belt.

> Historically, hijackings are more deadly than rogue pilots.

Is this true? I can't remember a single other plane hijacking that resulted in the deaths of passengers outside of 9/11.
Thank you. I said at my father's funeral that he collected everything to do with the Wills Sainte Claire. He befriended C. Harold Will's two sons. The widow rode in my Dad's car in a Detroit parade.

We were at a Wills event and coming back from the bathroom I heard two ladies talking about riding in the rumble seat of a car with their Grandmother in a parade in Detroit. I said would you like to meet the guy whose car you rode in? They were delighted and my Dad wrote letters to them until weeks before passing away at 101.

My Dad served as a great example to me although my passions are more of the geeky kind.
I have absolutely no experience with YC applications and know almost nothing about the teams that got in.

Given that -- my take:

You are worried about all the wrong things.

Instead, you should worry about whether you are making something people want and effectively communicating that you are doing that. All this other stuff is sapping your energy to accomplishing the one thing YC says over and over again that means the most to them. The second thing is relentlessness -- if you are relentless, these are very minor setbacks, and not worth your attention right now.
The "worst case" scenario (in terms of this current company) is that you are let go or quit—that's not so bad in the grand scheme of things. So, what experiments can you try to either improve your reception or learn as much as possible before that moment..?

Ask questions.

Your 'supeeriors' may be ninja rock star behemoths, but they are not immune to simple psychological techniques, like reciprocity. Asking questions and requesting favors has a tendency to make the other person actually like you more and be more willing to help you out further down the line.

It's counter-intuitive, but it has a lot to do with the sunk-cost fallacy and leveraging others' cognitive dissonance; i.e.: "if I'm such a great person/talent and I spent the time/effort to help this person out, they must be more like me than I previously thought."

Beyond the persuasive benefits of asking questions, you'll (ideally) learn more about yourself and come across as more open and approachable to your peers, which is good.

More importantly, don't compare yourself to your coworkers to determine your worth for the company. Are you better today than you were yesterday?

The best leaders and most productive people I know ask more questions than anyone else and are very skilled at listening to what people are telling them. Just because you were "thrown to the lions" doesn't mean you have to become one via trial by fire. Lions have too much pride.

Just ask questions. Position yourself to be better tomorrow than you are today.

Worst case: you're out of there and on to something else (which could very well be the same).
Best case: people start seeing your value and you improve your rate of learning.

> I’m not talking specifically about Twitch.

Ok, but this article is about Twitch.

> At the moment where they make their platform public, they have no political nor moral authority to say what’s good or bad.

So anything that is "public" cannot have moderation? A chess forum has to allow Osama bin Laden to post his political rants? Should it be illegal to run a website with moderation?

> Tomorrow if the leadership changes, they can on the contrary censor everything but not Trump and you’ll have nothing to say then.

I'll say the same thing I am saying today: it's their own platform and they can moderate it however they want. If I don't like their moderation, I am perfectly capable of going elsewhere.
So in steam, when you go into the properties of a game, there is a DLC's tab. When you select/unselect DLC's, it will often trigger a download to happen (although small). With Dota, they deliver support for OpenGL & Vulkan basically as DLC's.

So the mechanism to have modular game delivery already exists in steam, they can just repurpose it and give it a different label, or bake the options into the Install dialog so you can choose the parts you want upfront.

And yeah, other launchers are a pain (with proton), I agree.
There's no reason you can't do this. Python has free functions. It was an intentional style choice to do it this way.

You can also make a diagonalize function that just calls the method if you like that style better, half of python's generic functions (e.g. len) just call methods anyways.

Actually, a lot of us over at https://atariage.com/forums/ and similar groups use quite a deal of modern hardware for interfacing with our Atari machines via SIO
So the titan security keys sold which imply to be secure because they are from google and not that secure? Not secure enough enough to allow bounties for hacking?

It's nice they have a secure chip (titan m) like the secure enclave of apple. But the security keys imply more sense of security as there are not running a lot more apps on this device like on a smartphone.

I think you are overestimating the intellect of Sweden’s central bankers.
The war has been waged for decades already and the west has already lost. This was a war fought with information, influence, and economic warfare. When you think about all the things you need to secure and defend one's country (e.g. PPE, pharmaceuticals, rare-earth minerals, manufacturing supply chains, patriotism, jobs, economic growth, geopolitical soft/hard power), you realize that China has all these things and America has none and is stuck battling itself over nonsense domestic issues.

Tiny amounts literally cannot be settled in minutes. To get a transaction in an hour requires a much higher transaction fee ($11 as of my writing now) than an equivalent Visa purchase (which clears faster). I can buy a $1 (fee-inclusive) candy bar with a Visa from a vending machine and the transaction costs literally pennies and is approved in seconds with no prior relationship with the owner of the vending machine.

You can argue $10-100 is “tiny,” if you like, but as Bitcoin is today, it is only really useful for large transfers. Or perhaps medium sized transfers if you live in a place like Venezuela. This is less true even for other blockchain-based cryptocurrencies for two reasons: 1) they’re less popular so less demand for transactions 2) they use a larger blocksize and/or shorter time between blocks (both of which have drawbacks and limits).

Regardless of what the Satoshi white paper said, base blockchain simply doesn’t scale well globally for small transactions. Currently still doable for medium and large transactions, but if 7 billion people used Bitcoin as it is now (limited to 7 transactions per second), they could only settle to the blockchain once every billion seconds on average (a billion seconds is over thirty years).

your reply to this comment is too many deep - I can't reply.

My reply is a sample size of one because I actively don't speak for other people, on purpose. That isn't a flaw in my argument, that's intentional. If there was one delay in a health procedure it wouldn't be of note. But there are lots of delays, and my doctor needs 2-3 months notice for an appointment, and only wants to discuss one thing per appointment so he can maintain the # of appointments he needs to do throughout a day by not making any one to long, and get paid again for another consult, and he's a good doctor (for real).

But again, you have to actively ignore the last 3 sentences of the post you replied to, for this to be a reasonable and in good faith response to what I wrote. I have no interest in engaging with people who don't read what I write, while telling me what I have to think.
On the other hand (also posted today): https://www.realcleardefense.com/articles/2021/02/24/israeli...

So, Israel flies lots of pilot hours and seems to think that the plane is a good deal.

The F-35 failed in its original goal of being lightweight, but is perhaps fine in the new goal of being a modern fancy fighter that dominate the sky. In which case, it has pivoted to become a success.

We were careful to make sure the emphasis was on the non-restrictive license on uses of the data. This isn't claiming to be a "open places database" but maybe that can exist with this data as the backbone.

We are interested in doing a dump, but have some things to overcome first. Beyond that, this isn't just promoting our API. To be clear, we were only clarifying the license of the data with a blog post since there wasn't a clear license before. The community has turned this into a bigger deal, so this is by no means a self-promotion thing on our end.

> "You can't claim Sony doesn't get it."

I can and do. And I take issue with the suggestion that the PSN is up there with XBox Live. In users? Probably. In architecture, usability, desirability and integration? Not remotely.

The alternative to Sony suffering from 'not getting it' is that they do get it and are short of money, ability or the desire to make more money. All of which seem a bit more unlikely than a possible culture gap.

The PSN was created and launched looking like GameSpy from the 90s. They could have cribbed proper friends, matching, communication and content network integration from Steam or XBox Live. Both were up and functional and accepted improvements over the old systems for years before PSN debuted. But Sony didn't do that.

And from their stumbled start, they continued to drag their feet on core PSN functionality, while simultaneously throwing a lot of cash, effort and press into Home. I don't know how you can reconcile that with a thesis that Sony does get it.

Their ultimate answer to fixing the PSN seems to be waiting for third parties to take the reins. That is, they seem to be relying on Steam, Activision and EA's own systems that layer... more or less to the side of the PSN.

It's a shift in network consistency, focus and usability that has happened to howls of complaint on the XBL side,but is being met with open arms on the PSN side.

Why do you think I'd make that projection from an article called "How to write a Haskell program"? The title has two meanings, and you are seeing "how a Haskell program ought to be written", whereas other people are seeing it as a tutorial that explains... well, "how to write a Haskell program". And there are definitely some steps in there, it's not merely a set of guidelines. So I think the second interpretation is not entirely unexpected, since the link goes directly to it with no explanation for those of us who are not familiar with Haskell, rather than, as you say, to the front page of Haskell's site.

That's where I'm getting the "neither here nor there" from. I have no axe to grind with Haskell, and indeed counseled the other poster to not be put off by what he (and I) mistakenly thought was a poorly done tutorial.
Sales tax is a joke to the very rich and powerful. A guy with million dollars does not have to spend 1000x more on products and services than a regular guy with 1000 dollars. He uses that big money in different ways that do not get taxed by the sales tax.

On the other hand, inflation taxes every positive-valued bank account roughly the same.
