I did look at these from time to time, I find Vue as useful to simplify UI logic without bringing a huge complexity or learning curve. It is just a personal opinion, but I tend to see these as options you have, not mandatory to use if you don't have a need for it.

Having more options can be better, the huge downside is the fragmentation. The classic problem is: do you prefer a single programming language, a dozen or a thousand? I would go for a dozen, one is not flexible enough, a thousand is too fragmented for most to be worth considering.
The same for me - if anything I am more interested in everything now and I am still learning totally new fields.

I think the problems with The US healthcare system is more than just excessive profits - its extreme complexity and the sheer arbitrariness are bigger problems. Add in a system where you have to be employed to have coverage and you would be hard presssed to design a worse system if you tried.

You mean, with the name "ycombinator", right? I remember accessing this site a few times in the (distant) past and was a little confused as to what it was and what it was "selling" (based on the actual frontpage).

I'd check out https://ycombinator.com/ and assumed the news subdomain was a forum or some '1337' thing.

I say this as a slashdotter, digger, redditor (and others) - all of whom have and always had brand naming. I'd say that over the last couple of years, HN has crossed a bridge into the mass market. Before then... it was niche.

Your first-order estimate is not in fact good enough to provide a plausibly correct answer; you're not even in the ballpark of correct. The challenges facing reversers are in fact degrees different than those facing Apple itself, with its access to original source code; they are not entirely different kinds of challenges. And in neither case can the challenge be measured in "compiled image bytes reviewed per second".

Your arguments here pile non sequitur atop non sequitur. I'm left with the impression that this is a topic in which you've decided you're unwilling to concede anything. No doubt, if I challenged you about how difficult it is to reverse hardware, you'd pull some other weird rabbit out of your hat, like quantum states or interactions between circuits and cosmic rays.

Of course, if you'd led off your argument with "cosmic rays make all of information security in some ways unknowable", we'd all have simply said "sure, but that's besides the point". But that's not your argument. Your argument is that telcos should provide cryptographic security for telephone users, because Apple has insurmountable advantages against its users due to its access to its own source code. No, that doesn't make any sense.

I'm not taking it personally or anything. You've just gone on tilt. It happens to all of us. For what it's worth: I think you still share a Slack with several of us? You could ask this question there, and I'd be more comfortable responding in detail there.

I don't work with them anymore due to some fundamental differences (it's been almost a couple of years) but thought it was related to what you're talking about and possibly something you'd be interested in.

Possibly the only way you could compete with Epic or Cerner is to innovate on things in a way that can't be denied. It wouldn't be the first time slow giant companies fall because they did not advance, but it is much harder because the barrier to entry is absolutely enormous.

Just as there is a mountain of BS funded by oil companies amongst boosters and faux-researchers saying "no problem, do nothing." There is an equal, less talked about, but massive mountain of BS pushed by radical socialists hitching their "smash the system and end capitalism" bandwagon to climate change concerns.

When you're trying to work out what constitutes good policy it makes it really, really hard to sift through and discard all this BS to work out what is likely to happen, what are the various options that can be realistically pursued and which ones make sense in terms of cost and benefit. (Would we be better off spending the resources on something else to improve the world for its people? Is this a massive spend that achieves precisely nothing and should be held in reserve to deal with consequences that will still happen regardless. Difficult questions that are forefront of any sensible policy and significantly harder with so much nonsense being peddled on all sides - wrapped in emotion, religion and righteousness - I have no solutions to offer).
It’s not tricky. I’m a reasonable person. A credible source would be a published, peer reviewed research paper. There are other credible sources. This is just one example of a credible source.

Airlines are definitely not an example of perfect competition. They are the number one textbook example of oligopolistic competition leading to price discrimination. A given route between two cities only has so many airlines competing. They just have a tough time surviving because airports are monopolies (except in some major metros where there is limited competition), thus can capture most of the airlines' profits.

I live here in Iowa and the market is literally flooded with stylists. Which is one of the reasons wages are low and the education requirement is so high.

It sucks to make $9/hr, but the article doesn't mention tips which can bump that up quite a bit, easily to 15-20/hr. Also, a small but of research prior to choosing cosmetology school would have shown it's unlikely to be profitable for sometime considering the debt that will be incurred.

Predatory schools are one thing but I think the root problem here is that the public education isn't teaching how to think through the long term consequences of choices. Doing what you enjoy isn't always profitable.
Another nonsensical article about adtech. This is not how the industry works.

Apple does not have a chance at buying Google because they have the same market cap. Google and Facebook have a massive advantage in scale and precision which is why 2 of the top 10 biggest companies on the planet are ad networks. The valuations come from the sheer profit they generate, not their assets, and how much Disney spends on content is utterly irrelevant. You cannot easily replicate what they do otherwise it would've already been done. Half of the world's population still isn't online so there's plenty of room for growth in the future too.

Everyone loves to talk about waste but skip over how much worse it is with TV and print ads. What matters is getting a positive return. Even if you can't measure anything else, you can see what sales were like before and after doing any advertising, and that's as simple as it gets. Advertising is a key component of marketing, and marketing is how a company grows and creates customers, so unless you change human behavior advertising is not going away.

I used the term ‘truth’ as used in mathematical logic. In a given model a statement can be true or false. Under a given axiomatic system a statement is either provable or not. We don’t use the word “true” when dealing with statement under an axiomatic system. We do use the word when dealing with a statement in a given model.

Your third paragraph doens’t make sense. In first order logic a theorem is a statement that is true in all models and is one that is provable. This is a result of the Completeness Theorem.
Depending on your UI needs, may want to look at Eto.Forms and MonoGame. :-) That said, I agree on productivity for C# + VS. I find I'm more productive with node + npm + vs code though.

.Net Core hasn't been too bad outside VS... I do wish they'd stuck to the JSON project format. I also wish dotnet had a task runner like npm in it.

Yes this is one of the factors behind the differing productivity of different age groups, although it is not the whole picture. Those in their 30s and 40s will generally run rings around those in their 20s no matter how many hours the 20 somethings work.
$900 for three including supplies would not be doable in Seattle area without significantly degrading quality, I'm afraid. I'm sure it's doable in areas with lower cost of living though.
Its probably the ram plentiful thing. I haven't looked recently into if the Arch mainline kernel kconfig is just bad or not but the oomkiller is trash for me. Used to have the "recommended" swap == ram size but then the memory manager never even tried to cull pages until it was OOM and froze up trying to swap constantly. Currently running a 16/4 spread and probably going to drop to 16/1 because any time I hit memory limits everything just freezes permanently rather than the oomkiller getting invoked. I've hit it twice this week trying to render in Kdenlive and run a debug build of Krita...
API Gateways back in the days were primarily being adopted at the edge for external traffic, but they are increasingly being used internally to connect teams/products together, or in a Service Mesh deployment pattern for microservices. Solutions provided by cloud vendors are generally not well suited for all the N-S and E-W use-cases that typically an organization requires, they are usually slow (which in turn prevents more decoupled and traffic intensive architectures from working well), provide little extensibility options and while are every cheap to get up and running with, they also get expensive very quickly as traffic increases exponentially.

Thinking of a more inquisitive/questioning head tilt, usually it also involves the chin going down, so I'd disagree.
They're already failing at that with nonsensical rebrands and rotating leadership. You can't compete with the giants by buying a bunch of companies and strapping their products together. That just leads to a dysfunctional mess.

They need to build from scratch with a focused approach as seen with The Trade Desk, but their corporate politics won't let that happen.

Bindings in the `where` clause can still access names in the main binding: https://wiki.haskell.org/Let_vs._Where#Advantages_of_where

This runs the risk of strongly coupling them to the main binding and making them less reusable. IMHO strong coupling where two bindings are aware of each others' internals should be avoided.
Sure I could move. But there's no well paying work there, so it'd be counterproductive. And of the places where there _is_ work, it is by far not the most expensive place to live. NYC or Bay Area are easily 1.5x of Seattle, and that's in addition to state taxes, which WA doesn't have.
The legality possibly derives from it not being directed to a specific company directly, but by offering a tax break to any company who satisfies the criteria that has been tailored to fit only one or a few companies.

It's worth noting that copying in/out of the docker for windows container can be interesting. Docker for windows mirrors the content in the volume directory on windows to one native inside the container... for some editing, it's fine... but try something a SQLite database with a gui in windows, and a container in linux both connected, and it will blow up on you.

The mount in WSL is really adaptive calls to the native OS, so that side will work without issue... the sync inside the container while editing is fast enough, and the running/building in the container is faster than it would be on the WSL itself as described by GP.
I'd stick to monospace fonts for text editors

>A class definition can not be split in many files (e.g. in C# you can do this easily with "partial class" declaration and that's amazing, needless to say you can and almost always do split one module (a namespace) into many flies there).

I think most would consider this a good thing. WYSIWYG. If a class is so gargantuan as to require multiple files, it should probably be multiple classes that communicate via a well defined, public API, not implicitly.

>You have to invent names all the time, a package, a module and a function having the same name smells a headache.

This is only an issue if you are importing *. If you import in a namespace (`from foo import module`, `from bar import other_module`), you can have `module.module`, `other_module.module` and anything else all living in harmony. If you work in python as python intends and not C/C++ (namespaced imports, not text-prepended ones), it's much, much cleaner.

It's also possible to, generally speaking, have private submodules within one larger module. You can do this with `__init__.py` by importing the various submodules, explicitly re-exporting the things you wish to be top-level public, and setting `__all__` to include them. This is why I can do something like `import numpy as np; np.ndarray` even though ndarray is defined in an extension module referenced by `numpy.core.multiarray`.

See multiarray (https://github.com/numpy/numpy/blob/master/numpy/core/multia...), which pulls things from `numpy.core._multiarray_umath`, then exported by core via `numeric` (https://github.com/numpy/numpy/blob/master/numpy/core/__init...), then again by the top level __init__ (https://github.com/numpy/numpy/blob/master/numpy/__init__.py...).

Your argument makes sense in the abstract. However, I see the potential for inapplicability when applied to “real” nation states.
> Bike lanes built one at a time, and not connected.

That's probably the number one problem of bike lanes.

The second problem is that if you add a bike lane, you have to take something away. Usually it's parking or traffic lanes. And neither of those are super popular.

This is basically correct.

When people talk about "Quantum Computers" that can factor large primes, they are referring to a Universal Gate Quantum Computer. As of today, the largest Universal Gate Quantum Computer has 72 qubits.

The DWave Quantum Annealers are essentially a special purpose device that performs Quantum Annealing. What they refer to as 'Qubits' are very different from the entangled Qubits of a Universal Quantum Computer. To the best of my knowledge (and the paper explicitly distinguishes between the two types), it has yet to be demonstrated that Quantum Annealing is equivalent to Universal Gate Quantum Computer (and is generally suspected not to be), is in it's own complexity class, or even if it provides any complexity speedup over classical computers.

You can see here that in UNIX v6 that /bin/ls had to implement its own readdir() function that calls fopen() on the directory and then getc() 16 times to read each 16-byte dirent:

You can also see that in those days, struct dirent contained only the inode and dname.

Ideally, I would prefer to work for a consulting company as an overpriced “implementation consultant”, “digital transformation consultant”, etc.

I’ve been recruited (ie lunch with hiring managers who wanted to talk to me) for such a role because of my experience based on my resume but I knew that I needed to take some time to get more real world experience in a few areas - cloud and front end and the $cool_kids JavaScript stack.

That being said, I am in my mid 40s and consider myself competitive in the local market as a back end developer/architect with the Microsoft stack and fairly competitive with AWS.

As far as being “privileged”, I found the industry to be mostly merit based over my 20+ year career. I’m a minority, below average height, went to a no name state college and I have a slight disability - not the model of someone with any “privilege”. I’ve never been rejected for a job that I thought I was qualified for - I also only use recruiters. I don’t waste my time blindly submitting resumes.

That may change in three or four years when I am looking for my next job. There are relatively few local companies that do the type of consulting that I’m focusing on compared to standard “full stack” developer/architect roles.
Yeah QuickSight is their shot at that market. But (anecdotally) I don't think it getting much traction. The fact that they didn't have any flashy announcements about it at re:Invent this year somewhat corroborates that. There is something in Amazon DNA that prevents them from building great UX-centric products.

Besides, without something like Google Sheets or Excel it is not that useful, inevitably you have a ton of small data across the org that is stored in spreadsheets.

One obvious play for Amazon is to just pay a ton of cash and acquire something like Airtable, but they don't seem to be for sale.
Speaker did not offer an alternative to dualism as claimed. It was dualism. He just focused mostly on the mental part e.g. neuroscience and psychology.

His model for explaining how brains organize thoughts (the 'easy' problem), does not address how the physical world allows for consciousness in the first place (the 'hard' problem c.f. David Chalmers https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2018/12/03/epis... ).
Holding cash is a “fall eventually” bet.

It has negative payoff after inflation, which is worse than other low to zero risk options (like savings accounts and govt bonds).

In one view, and with long return horizons, an index-based etf is a “will be around forever bet”, in that it bets there will be economic growth on average for as long as the dollar is worth anything. The main way it can go wrong is with hyper inflation.

Maybe going long, with 100% govt bonds is a decent fall eventually bet, but again, that’s targeting a very specific scenario where all of the economy crashes for a long time, but bonds still pay out (better than real estate or other physical goods).
