> There will be complaints from users of memory-heavy programs running on 32-bit platforms though

In all of recorded history, has a malloc() call for more than 2GB ever actually succeeded anywhere? Most OSes on such platforms never supported any more than that amount of addressible memory in a user process at all.

This is fine. Honestly it's seems like mostly pedantry on modern systems, but it's clearly correct.
Would I be able to take photos of the book pages if I'm in Chicago without checking it out (on prem capture)? I am familiar with using a DSLR to non-destructively capture book contents, and am willing to make the time to do so. Looks like you even get 2 hours of parking for free!

UX/Product Designer SEEKING WORK.

Turin, Italy, Remote (travel OK)

Skills: Sketch, InVision, Adobe suite, user research, usability testing

Portfolio: www.erinobannon.com

email: erinkobannon[at]gmail.com

I believe great user experience considers the full realm of customer touchpoints. While the screen may be the most important place in the world, I always keep in mind the full user experience happening beyond the edges. If you need someone who

- is fascinated by people, their motivations and their goals as they relate to any given design problem

- has a proven record of optimizing onboarding experiences to drive growth and reduce churn

- has experience creating brands and implementing design systems, ranging from Material Design to highly customized

- works closely with engineers, other designers and stakeholders to implement designs

…then I can help.
If there's enough food to sustain everyone, why is competition necessary? Is everyone just fighting over the chance to get fat, or would the winners have better nutrition and gain a permanent advantage, even if they won initially due to luck?

What makes the competition fair? The guy who's good at chess wants a chess competition. The ex-basketball player wants a jumping competition. Would a fair competition be one that plays to existing strengths, or one that everyone is equally likely to win? If it's the first, how do you decide whose merits are most worthy of being rewarded? If it's the second, where does merit come in?
This doubly goes for ops guys (who used to be called sysadmins but now are all kinds of fad of the moment names, I still like sysadmin but I notice many devs and CS tend to look down on it... but I digress)

IAC and other newer tech has largely shifted the perception about sysamin'ing and has caused a huge swath of people who haven't been keeping up to have to turn to plan B. Even when you see a Linux admin or engineer pos they often really mean SRE or something else.
I worry the real problem is not that managers are looking for someone who can do the job, but someone they can exploit.

The gleeful exuberance over 'new' things is something you can use against a younger programmer.

The older one who knows the vintages doesn't get as excited, because it's really not that exciting. You haven't discovered Shangri La. We've kinda already done 90% of this before, just maybe not all at the same time.

But there's good exciting and bad exciting, and it takes a while to learn the difference (I work with a bunch of people who apparently have not).

What's bad excitement look like? War rooms, for one. But they are the same dopamine hit as Stockholm Syndrome and so the battlescarred have bonded while the rest of us are doing everything we can to stay out of war rooms (I haven't been in one in well over a year).

I've started calling these people BASE jumpers, because they're adrenaline junkies. There are not so many older BASE jumpers (I hope it's not because they're all dead). I think you learn to value other things besides adrenaline. Like teamwork.
It sucks to have to give up the name, but maybe it's just time to rip off that band-aid and do it.

Similar to my experience. I live in the mountains and if I go on a strenuous hike first thing in the morning then it takes a while until I get my appetite back. This applies any time of the day: following a strenuous hike, I am just not hungry for an hour or two.

> They can, and they do. One way some chains achieve this is by raising prices vs. in-store. By offsetting the cost, the economics makes more sense.

That's not allowed by the contracts. In either event 50 location chain is HUGE. Olive Garden has less than 1000 stores nationally. If you have 50 stores your chain is in the real estate business and it happened to have food as an additional line item.

> I also know of a NYC deli with one location that runs at ~15-17 comm. Its about volume. You can negotiate anything with high enough vol.

Unless you happen to own that deli I'm going to tell you that you are being lied to. No one does enough volume to do it.

Something else is padded. Delivery services won't make any money off the 10% commission.

> Also, Shake Shack has only recently started going into delivery (check their latest 10-K) they are fledglings going from their own platform (OLO) to working w/Caviar/Dash/etc.

The argument was that USG type companies only do full service restaurants. That's simply not the case.

> Again, successful, but not a barometer.

It is because it has been around longer than most of the startups in the delivery space, not to mention vendors to the startups in the delivery space that do not have actual restaurants.
You may want to consider looking into academia. Everyone knows the pay isn't as good, but that can be an advantage. Academia loses (or never gets) a lot of talented engineers due to the pay, lack of fancy perks, etc. There actually are perks though. Also, for some, the sense of personal fulfillment depending on the field or project you're working on can be of significant value (just not monetary). There's also the fear that academic jobs are solely dependent on grants, which is true in some cases, but there are positions that are funded by the institution itself. Also, I wonder how much more "job security" the typical person really does have in industry. Regardless, It's something to think about.
I'd say 90+% programmer jobs these days are working on web applications one way or another (whether UI, back end, or a service to support back end). Even when they're rich client UIs, like phone applications, the main guts of the application generally lives online and requires an internet connection to access.

You're using tiny subcultures in the US against a country with systemized sexism based in their religion for the last five hundred years or more.

That makes no sense.

Sure, there are subcultures in the US (the ones you call out certainly) that are not good for anyone. The entire culture of SA is horrible for women. Women are literally chattel in that culture.
I did an over-the-top version of intermittent fasting for about two months last year where I would fast (no calories, just water and black coffee/tea) for at least 24 hours and then would eat normally the following day and then fast again. So alternating >24 hr fasts with a day normal eating (3 normal meals).

During this experiment I felt mentally fantastic. Mood was improved. Energy was higher. Not to mention I spent way less money on food, spent way less time thinking about or having to find food on my fasting days, and felt more in control of my hunger.

I tried increasing my fast from 24 hrs to 48 hrs, it went fine. But when I broke my fast with a large bean rice and cheese burrito, I felt like I was dying about 30 minutes later (lightheadedness, tachycardia, nausea). Ended up being hospitalized with refeeding syndrome or something similar, which was surprising to physicians because they only saw refeeding syndrome (had critically low phosphate) in people who had gone without significant caloric intake for weeks or months at a time.

I’ve never been the same since then. I think Ive developed gastrocardiac syndrome because I frequently (1-2x week) get less severe episodes of nausea, lightheadedness and tachycardia that generally self resolve but still feels like I’m dying for about 30 minutes. It’s been about a year now, so seems somewhat permanent damage.

So, I definitely recommend intermittent fasting but if you have a tendency to take things to the extreme, just don’t. It’s not worth it.
Can't `cd` into it though, making it somewhat useless.
Once you get to Google or Apple scale, you’re essentially a government and run into the same problems with central planning that governments do. It’s absolutely the right move to return the money to shareholders and let them reallocate it to more economically promising endeavors. That doesn’t make a statement about innovation stagnation on the whole, it just reflects the reality of diminishing returns to scale.

I take it you mean subscriptions? If so, that's a mischaracterization.

Subscriptions aren't "taking up the slack". They will soon become, if not already, an equal partner in Apple's revenue picture.

You have to love that a big company like Apple can seamlessly shift their business model just a bit, with dramatic results. Many companies their size become protectionist, and then fail.
Getting a 500 error from /start, fyi.
Wouldn’t it be inversely proportional to the complexity allowed in the project ?

I imagine for instance a situation where for instance the project starts with a clear REST approach where GET requests are purely idempotent with no side effects whatsoever.

Then people start adding internal side effects (e.g. tracking, behavior scoring, suggestion building, and so on).

It’s harder to explain to a new dev that from some angle these requests are read only and nothing changes, and from another angle they change a lot of things.

But it would be counter productive to give up on features because it makes things less simple and brings a learning curve.

I had a recent conversation with someone who was into electronics & programming 40+ years ago as a youth. He has had successful careers in other non-related fields. He recently was messing around with a Raspberry Pi & remarked how little things have changed & how easy it was to jump pack in.

I strongly believe an employer is very short sighted if they are more concerned in a specific framework than knowledge as a whole. I agree, learning a framework doesn't take much time. They all borrow their patterns & ideas.

If your needs are urgent for a person to hit the ground running on a specific framework you should probably hire a contractor. If you want an employee you should care more about people & project skills, plus overall programming/IT knowledge.
The article mentions this:

> I know you love programming because you like technology, so this may go against your very nature, but no one says you’ve got to jump every time some snot-nosed kid invents a new way to run byte-code. You have invested a lot of time and energy mastering the technology you use, and your experience differentiates you. Money follows scarcity, and snow-birding on an older technology, if you can stomach it, may just be the way to protect your earning potential. The industry turns on a dime, but is slow to retire proven technology. It is highly likely that you will still be able to earn some decent coin in the technology you know and love even after a few decades.
The only way he doesn't have a point is if Google thinks its company is significantly undervalued, in which case buybacks are smart. Their CEO, Sundar Pichai, gets a huge stock-based compensation, so you have to factor in how management has a large incentive to grow the stock value, but not necessarily in the long term (making buybacks desirable regardless of whether the company is actually cheap or not).
Yeah, that's fair enough; I guess as an undergrad (and even now, though to a lesser extent), it's easy to have this romanticized idea of "PhDs are the best of the best of the best", especially in the coolest field ever (math); I guess it was easy for me to forget that these are still people.

Still, kind of unethical to ask some kid from Youtube to do your homework for you.

The correct procedure has been observed to work, but not everything that is observed to work is correct. This is particularly true when "correct" still comes with a probability of failure in specific cases.

Explanations need to be tested to verify they are correct. Incorrect explanations delivered authoritatively lead to bad extrapolations, which in turn lead to incorrect procedures. So, if something has been observed to work but an explanation has not been verified, the proper response at the practitioner level is "This tends to work, but we aren't sure why".
It's most certainly the work of more than "four dudes" too. Just by looking at the forum and contributors...

Thiel is also on a jingoist bend against Google, so I would take whatever he says with a grain of salt.

I saw him on CNBC claiming that Google was unpatriotic for dropping the government project Maven (machine vision for millitary drones) and that Google was also a Chinese sympathizer - despite there being no evidence and also the fact that you can't even use Google in China. The same Google employees that revolted against and killed Maven also did so against project Dragonfly. Thiel is on the board at Facebook so this could be part of his strategy for stirring the pot.

Maybe the problem is the big tech producers that introduce new technologies over and over, that don't raise productivity but create churn, force software rewrites, etc.

Tech history looked at from 40yr perspective, really seems like reinventing wheels over and over. I'm not sure if there is another industry with so much churn yet with a lot of rehashing of old ideas.

What are you eating for breakfast? Foods that are high in carbs (such as cereal or pancakes) are often eaten by people, but these are terrible because they spike your blood sugar (and insulin), and then you have the blood sugar crash right before lunch.

I had a lot of luck with eating breakfast foods high in fat and protein, like boiled eggs and bacon. It works best if your body is adapted to a ketogenic diet, and you avoid carbs in general.

One you are adapted to a ketogenic diet, you will find that you can skip entire meals without hardly even noticing a reduction in energy. Your blood sugar will stabilise over time, and you just always have a low and slow burn of energy.

Granted, I'm not a huge fan of the generated HTML/CSS/JS that it generates, but don't services like Wix make it incredibly easy for a layperson to build a servicable and attractive UI? Again, I reiterate that the generated code is an absolute clusterfuck (even compared to what I remember Frontpage 99 making), but from what I can tell, the end-user never touches the generated raw code.
Another related point is to increase eating raw/uncooked food. I'm noticing how much less I eat as I decrease cooked food portions. It may be easier or better than outright fasting.

Of course, I am only referring to certain veggies or soaking things like peas/beans/lentils in water overnight (instead of cooking). Please don't eat raw meat or anything after you see my message!

This is such a confident statement, and I don't mean that as a compliment.

For starters, is the evidence behind this Hayekian market efficiency really so strong as to warrant this kind of absolute confidence in the wisdom of markets?

> markets work by polling the expertise of many different parties who all understand a piece of how things should be valued.

…as well as orders of magnitude more people who do not understand how things should be valued. → noise, which is fine ("excess volatility"), but which can also become highly persistent in the presence of correlated expectations ("bubbles")

> This results in millions, if not billions, of interconnected price-discovery feedback loops.

Well, there are negative and positive feedback loops, only one of which is stabilizing!

> beneficial […] because the price discovery feedback loops get faster

This can also backfire. In fact, this is why a number of stock markets have instituted a trading stop if an asset moves "too fast". Slowing things down / reducing liquidity can stabilize a situation. Actually, this reminds me of

[1] W. A. Brock, C. H. Hommes, and F. O. Wagener. More hedging instruments may destabilize markets. Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, 33:1912–1928, 2009.

where you have a similar counterintuitive argument.

The history of the idea of market efficiency is long and the idea remains controversial or contested. See e.g. Philip Mirowski's writings.
