I've done the high/lo "struct" split for pointers in Flash when porting from 32-bit to 64-bit, and it was a pain in the ass (in part because of the ==/=== behavior with arrays you point out). In retrospect I should've gone with strings. I think we may have even eliminated the pointers before shipping anything, and wouldn't have been a significant perf hit even if we hadn't. (For all I know, it might've even been a perf gain...)

As a fullstack dev, it amuses me when my underlings claim that backend is hard and they want to learn it. They're already doing front-end. (And yes, we're working them towards more and more backend, and even mobile.)

It's just different, IMO. Programming is programming, but different specialties have different things you need to worry about.
I think your selling the victims short here. The law firm could of been more discrete. e.g. "Hello X, We are investigating a case involving the government hacking journalists. You are a person of interest in this case. The government records show that your password is Y. Can you confirm or deny that this was your password around the dates Z?"

Funny you say that, because "actually matters" is the crux of the issue here.

Does the fact that a glorified IRC client eats a big chunk of system resources matters to said program's developers? Probably not, it would seem. Does it matter to me as a user of such program? Yes, it does very much. The problem is, right now there isn't a good way for the market to signal this back to the developers so that they would care.

My one thing: The software business changes faster than you think, especially when you're young and your frame of reference regarding time is so short. Just when you think you're hitting your stride and the business is cruising, that is when you should be working on your next big thing. If you don't, you're going to find yourself "out of the game" pretty quickly.

I second Hugo as a static website generator. I've been using Jekyll for a long time, but it is just too slow for a nice workflow, especially as the site/blog grows to more than a handful of pages.

Hugo is blazingly fast, has a very active community and has all the features you need. Also it's just a single binary and very easy to use.

You could use a CI system like Travis CI or Gitlab CI to automatically build the site and deploy it to a preview website on pushes.

That you already know how to build a software, and what you do need to learn is how to sell a product.
Not yet. Anyway, I was just pointing out a mostly untapped speed gain that doesn't require resurrecting Moore's law.
Typically, you would have a set of "helm charts" (packages) for your application(s).
So deploying, without data, would be something like a sequence of "helm install app-appId --values /path/to/config/for/environment.yaml"

At this stage, you have no data. Normally, if you app depends on data, the pods will keep failing until data has been moved and is available (at which point they stabilize in an equilibrium state).

If you run Ceph in both environments, then you may want to use Ceph replication. If you use another storage layer, then it's also up to you to make sure the data is moved around.

rook should have support for that use case. However, it is still alpha as per the GitHub readme, so use at your own risk.
However, you may want to consider the data replication problem outside of the scope of k8s.

If the 2 sets of clusters are physically close to each other, you may want to just point the new apps to the old data and pull the switch from the first one.

Another option would be to run another beta feature in K8s called Federation, which allows to manage several cluster via a single control plane.

Sorry for the long comment, your question has a broad scope, and it's hard to answer without diving into details.
Yeah, the slow and steady rise of stock prices across the board is in large part just an effect of increased money supply. Sure, lifting along with that passively is cheap and reliable way to make money. But since these types of passive investments care little about how efficiently the beneficiaries make use of these investments, there's the danger that inefficient companies end up with too much capital.

If that happens, you end up with resources such as labor being wasted. The efficient usage of the available resources is of course a much better indicator for the quality of the economy than the rise of stock prices.
Save yourself the time and read one of the summaries here in the comments. The interview meanders unclearly.

It's arguments are ones that could be applied to any time past the industrial revolution. The whole thing is click bait.

I guess I shouldn't feel disappointed that the podcast doesn't make a good argument for the imminent collapse of civilization, but I did feel kinda let down for the lack of insight.

> Most of all it's pretty short sighted and myopic. Even from a strictly economical perspective, and assuming all of the above is correct, we need new generations of people to be born, and someone needs to take care of them.

Right, it's a tragedy of the commons type situation. Each individual actor (business) is incentivized to focus on just what solely benefits them the most, but if every actor does that, everyone ends up losing.
It's nice that you mention it, because this is something A LOT of people request from podcasts.

[shameless plug ahead]
A friend of mine and I run a podcast hosting service called Podigee (https://www.podigee.com). Recently, we launched a machine transcription service using Auphonic and the Google Speech Recognition API for our paid customers.

So far the response has been great. The transcripts are far from perfect, yet they are good enough to benefit from better SEO. Some of our customers take the output and fix the wrong transcriptions, which still allows you to save a lot of time, as compared to human transcription.

I know that I'm heavily biased, but I can't understand how so many people still choose services like SoundCloud to host their podcasts. Their offering is not optimized for podcasts, nor is it their priority.

Podcasting, as a medium, is quickly evolving and getting enriched with structured metadata. E.g you just need to see the great job the Podlove community (https://podlove.org) is doing proposing new standards and feed extensions.

I suggest that people who are serious about podcasting start looking for better alternatives than SoundCloud or YouTube, to avoid missing out on many great features.
I'd offer the alternative-to-your-alternative-theory that the VSCode team had members that had lots of real world experience working on text editors and desktop apps, whereas Atom, based on the company's public statements on the matter, started as a hobby project by the CEO and slowly added a few very smart non-specialists over the years..

In other words, unlike the Atom team, VSCode didn't have to re-make mistakes Microsoft learned from 15 years ago...
I found out pretty soon that setting up a successful software development business only receives 20-40% of your time developing software.

Business, like developing software, is a strict discipline, and there is a vast amount of knowledge that only comes from experience.

I found myself trying to do everything, until a friend taught me a clever trick:

1) Write down all of the tasks you have to do on a daily, weekly and monthly basis.

2) Write a short paragraph for each task's job description.

3) Write a job application from yourself for each of the jobs.

4) Contemplate why on earth you would ever hire _you_ for the job!

My advice is to work out exactly what tasks there are in running your business that you are not an expert at, such as accounting, sales and marketing, copy writing, etc. and hire people to do those parts for you. You'll see a return in no time... unless you don't... in which case your business model would never work.

Everything has to start somewhere. It wasn't too long ago that most people would have said the same about computers in general.
I would say: be patient and determined.

1. Your idea and your software will probably not be aligned to your market needs at first;

2. Go out and talk to your customers;

3. Do not just focus on code;

4. When your customer really needs something that is not in your software, do not hesitate to bill this customer for special developments: it will finance the feature for all your customers and keep your feet on the ground;

5. CIO are overstretched by sales rep, so B2B sales cycles can be really long (at least in France).

Obviously the people hacking accounts are the baddies. But I don't think it's inappropriate to note that, seemingly, someone literally phoned them up, asked for, and received their passwords - and that's not even the main story!
Just to clarify this it's 10K views for the channel overall, not individual videos.

If your channel has 10k views total across all videos, you can monetise the next video from viewer 1.
The best advice I've had (and seen applied in practice) is this:

You need to get your company to 10k USD monthly product revenue within three months. If you can't, either the product, target market or team needs to be revised drastically.

It's hard advice to follow, but it will save you a lot of time because you can't wait months and years doing unessential tweaks to the product and marketing, hoping that sales miraculously grow.

It's also useful as a pricing yardstick early on. If you have very few customers, they need to be paying enough that you reach $10k almost immediately. If your product isn't worth that much, then you need to scale out. It's best to figure this out right from the start.

If it feels like you can't do $10k MRR in three months on your own, then you need to find a cofounder who can do it together with you... So it's a good way to calibrate cofounder expectations as well.
That's also an important consideration I hadn't thought of. The plants can have the cell size constraint relaxed because of their different morphology / physiology.

In fact, it came from me looking at human and other vertebrate genomes, and then looking at some reference "crop" genomes and seeing multiples as many genes. I didn't know if they are polyploid copies as you say or not tho it could have been. I'll try to find the links where I saw these numbers (from a few years ago now) and update.

[edit]

Ok, for example:

chimpanzee genome, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/genomes/202? , size: ~3Gb, scaffolds: ~50k

bread wheat genome,
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/genomes/11?, size: ~13Gb, scaffolds: ~750k

And more summaries are at the Wikipedia page of sequenced plant genomes:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sequenced_plant_genome...

( there are many with over 30,000 genes ( cf humans < 20,000 ) and there are a few big ones ( Aegilops tauschii (Tausch's goatgrass) has 4.3Gb ), and most are more than 200 Mb ( cf fruit fly is around 180Mbp )

When compared with small insects and animals ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sequenced_eukaryotic_g... ) plants often have larger genomes. And in some cases larger genomes than humans.

The weird thing is that genome size is correlated with "complexity" in non-animal world too. With fungi and so on having smaller genomes generally than large plants. All this seems weird because my assumption is that animals are more "complex" than plants. So either there is a lot of redundancy there or plants have some kind of unseen complexity. It would be cool to see models that try to quantify the explanations of large genomes given here by others ( error and viral resistance and freer nuclear sizing ) and see if those models can account for the sizes somehow, or if there might be more to the picture.

Another possibility is that genomes grow with genetic manipulation so cross-breeds have bigger genomes. But what does that say for humans? Are we the result of genetic breeding as well?

The parent said "depending on your priors".

Someone drops dead right after eating a strange fruit. Maybe they had heart disease and coincidentally died right after eating said fruit, but it's far more likely that the fruit had something to do with it. This is a perfectly statistically valid assumption, given that the vast majority of plants are toxic.

Once you live in a bayesian universe, every anecdote is data. Every data point might be incorrect; that's a given. The "plural of anecdote" line is just a particularly rigid way of frequentist thinking.

Why are you assuming my kids will have crippling debt? What if they are happy to start off life in a simple one bed apartment of which our contribution will be roughly 80% of the cost? My parents started their life together in a small flat and ended up in a 3 bed home which growing up we thought was huge. My girls' expectations are not unrealistic. They don't expect to move out of the family home and into a huge home with a pool.

I never said people were lazy or stupid nor did I imply it. However to claim as some are, that people don't have choices in life is just plain wrong. You might not like the choices you have available but you've got them. And you're free to choose your path from among them.

Don't get me wrong and conflate what I'm saying with some kind political ideology. All I'm saying is that people are faced with personal choices and need to own their choices and the consequences of their choices.
Czechoslovakia was never a super power, and communism was to an extent forced upon it by the soviet union, but still people miss the security of the old system: you would basically never get fired or worry about the basics like clothes and shelter as long as you didn't rock the boat.

This seems to be the main point rather than democracy being hard to comprehend or inefficient.
I find it fascinating that media companies like news papers have completely tied their success to a 3rd party platform like Facebook. They have essentially given all of the publishing power to Facebook. AMP is another one that comes to mind.
