Often, the difference between a quick solution and a good solution isn't technical debt! (So long as there isn't an impediment to adding them in the future.) Missing features aren't technical debt.

Technical debt manifests in a code base, most generally as various forms of pain that occur when trying to add features. That's how the company "pays interest" on the technical debt. Coding so that you can always change your mind, however that is accomplished, is the key there. (This is one place where the "Law of Demeter" really shines!)
How does Europe compare with the US on gun ownership?
I don't know if "pimp and dump" was deliberate or a typo, but it's a beautifully accurate phrase.
For sure. It definitely echoes the thrill of bug-hunting when you know you’ve found something interesting but need to dig a bit deeper.
In this case, it was obvious what it wanted someone to do.

It gets more frustrating when it's less clear. Is "click the hills" with a picture of a mountain a mistake, or a trick? Should I click all the tiles that contain a bus, even if it's only one pixel, or should I only click the ones that mostly contain a bus? etc.
As an aside, the fact that the FBI building is still named after Hoover says something about the values of that organization (yes, I know they passed a law giving it that name which would make it tricky to rename).
Recaptcha is now a rate limiting service for people not signed into their Google account. That's about all it does. The score on v3 falls through the floor if you block third-party Google cookies.
I think that technology disruption is one of the roots of this. I'm talking about minor disruptions like a new GUI library or an improved query algorithm. Diffusion of these is somewhat uneven, and this results, occasionally, in senior management seeing projects that were impossible or very hard in the past suddenly delivering. This makes them believe that other similar projects should also deliver in that way and that if they aren't then something is wrong - leading to a desire to find out what's going on in minute detail.
I have a bank account whose username is a number and password is also a number. Good thing is you need to click on a randomly distributed keypad to input your password. /s
Seems like a German citizen could use Stripe Atlas to create a US company, and then hire themselves through that entity. Would be cool if someone creates and shares boilerplate contract language to hire themselves "stationed" in Germany and cover the standard provisions that Germany requires.
> Now this is only their side and I don't remember which banks and credit unions were receiving those reviews but I know there were multiple accounts of people with similiar experiences and some of those lenders were nationally known banks

It's not just only their side, the stories don't make a lick of sense.

A bank doesn't want your car. The value of the loan is much higher than the value of the car, and without the car, you probably can't go to work to pay them the balance.

If what those people claimed was true, they're probably leaving out the part about how they missed five payments in a row, and when they finally called the bank back the bank offered them a payment plan, which they also missed, and THEN the car was repossessed.
I think "5 years" is a good indicator for amzn, as many (most?) L4/L5's sign up with a big chunk of stock that takes 4 years to vest.
You borrow it which is what successive GOP administrations have done, including the current one.

I don't know, of course, but the Typ12 was created (just) before the Tatra V570 (second prototype, the first looked very different):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_Type_12

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatra_V570

and it seems like both Porsche and Ledwinka worked at Steyr so it is very possible that some earlier Ledwinka project at Steyr "inspired" Porsche, and possibly also viceversa, in any case they had very similar education and experience in overlapping years.

I find more probable that this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Ledwinka#Volkswagen_contr...

> In any case, of Ledwinka, Porsche admitted "Well, sometimes I looked over his shoulder and sometimes he looked over mine"

is actually accurate.
You probably thought this was obvious, but I just want to clarify for others what "works" means. It doesn't "work" in the sense of performing as well as, e.g., 100% stocks. It's actually not even close, for most start and endpoints. But if you buy at the top and want to sell at the bottom, this portfolio will not lose nearly as much value as stocks would.
Historically, you'd lose everything. Maybe the future is different, but I suggest staying far away from stock picking and especially shorting.
The advice assumes you're investing in an index fund or something equivalent; the market as a whole, amortized, goes up. Individual companies may be a different story.
This seems pretty cool, and I'll probably play with this at some point, but sadly literally all of my GPUs are AMD or Intel at this point.

I'm sure you had a good reason, so I'm genuinely curious to why CUDA was chosen instead of something like OpenCL?

(I'll add my typical disclaimer that I'm not saying this as some passive-aggressive way to criticize; I'm genuinely curious to the reasoning behind the choice.)
>The unifying principle of conservatism is: survival of the fittest

This isn't just a principle of a party but a natural law. This is displayed in liberal politics also. Life is a fight using powers as a utility, hard and soft powers. Liberals tend to bank on using the powers of certain ideologies, many as vague as conservative ideologies, in order for those ideologies to survive. Some use the soft power of love which may prove sometimes to be fittest when that power gathers enough political support, some use the hard powers of war and competition which may seem fittest in some occasions. And of course, love and warfare is seen and used in both/all parties even when they don't seem to realize it, sometimes hypocritically on the surface but often when you look deep enough, you see the forces of natural law shining through and it's not just love and war against each other, it's just organisms which may be ideological, biological, etc competing in what some would view as a thermodynamic machine racing towards entropic neutrality.

But to say only conservatives employ 'survival of the fittest' is such a vast simplification.
As a counterpoint I know one good friend who has worked for Amazon for 4 years with three internal transfers and he's very self aware of his work-life balance. Originally he was in an org with very high operational load so he described being too exhausted to do anything after work, but he switched to a different org after a year and is comfortable with his new position.

I haven't personally experienced Amazon's culture however.

Known exactly, maybe. But when I was a consultant we had a pretty good idea of how long it took to do a good job on a project.

We'd add in some padding because you don't know if something will need a bit more research or if the lead is going to come down with the flu or whatever. You write deadlines that are under the client's control, rather than yours, into the contract.

So you don't know exactly. But if you have a decent handle on the scope of work and aren't trying to solve wide-open problems, you can usually get pretty close.

Certainly, a lot of people don't have this level of experience in a domain. When I do similar work internally at a company now, people are often surprised that I can come up with time estimates (and meet them) pretty easily.
This! I use FF with uBlock Origin without being signed into Google and it is absurd how many tries it takes to solve the crosswalks, bikes, and storefront riddles. Sometimes I give up due to frustration and open the site in Chrome.
I have had a non compete clause suggested by my last few clients. Usually initially 12 months. For the last few the conversations have usually been like this:

(client): "Here is our standard contract"

(me): "Please remove the 12 months non compete clause"

(client): "How about 6 months non compete?"

(me): "No"

(client): "3 months?"

(me): "Fine, where do I sign?"

I don't mind 3 months non compete. I can take a longer holiday if I desperately need to go straight back. I never have and 6 months is probably ok as well.

It is mostly if I go somewhere else and it for some reasons finished early after a few months, then I am free to go wherever I choose.
> We waited 3 months for a judge to start liquidating his assets before his kids returned from Europe and demanded his estate.

Sadly, this is the only part of the story which stuck out to me as unusual, but then again, I'm not an heir to a coal fortune, so what do I know about such families.

Do you know what they were doing in Europe? My bias makes me think that they were coasting on the family fortune, but I suppose they could just as well be doing productive and industrious things over there. Either way, from what you write, it sounds like they weren't around for many months after their father's tragic end.
Seconded. I read Programming Rust and it was excellent. Too bad there is no second part. I didn't get too far in the Rust book though.
We have some manual QA scripts where we introduce error conditions like manually killing processes, containers, etc and make sure the alert is fired (after notifying admins that we will be testing).

We use Terraform to keep the configurations in sync - most alerting is done via AWS CloudWatch. This means we can test these conditions in the staging environment without affecting the production environment.

It's not a very academically satisfying way to do it but it's a process done every few months and takes about 30 minutes to run through the plan.

One day we'll will automate this and perform far more frequent tests but it's quite a pragmatic solution for now - our application changes frequently but the cloud configuration doesn't really.

This is a Distributed SQL engine not a database. We store no data. You store your data in HDFS, S3, posix, NFS etc. We allow you to query directly from these filesystems of the file formats you have already. You can look here to see the file formats cudf supports. https://github.com/rapidsai/cudf/tree/branch-0.9/cpp/src/io

You can try it out yourself here https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1r7S15Ie33yRw8cmET7_...

Or use dockerhub
https://hub.docker.com/r/blazingdb/blazingsql/

The benefits are.

Greatly increased processing capacities. We can just perform orders of magnitudes more instructions per second than a cpu with the gpus we are using.

Decompression and parsing of formats like CSV and parquet happens in the GPU orders of magnitude faster than the best cpu alternatives.

You can take the output of your queries and provide it to machine learning jobs with zero copy ipc and get the results back the same way. We are all about interoperability with the rapidsai eco system.
But if you fail on v3, don't you get v2? For example, I constantly get v2 when using a VPN. It's terrible.

Billions of tax dollars and breaks are going to self-driving research, which is fucking insane. America needs to build back it's public rail infrastructure. Passenger rail is a solved problem, and the US use to have more passenger rail that Europe. We have one of the best freight rail systems in the world, but we have high speed rail in New England and Florida. That's it. Maybe California if they can get their shit together.

I wrote an article about this before, and talk about how even if you had a four lane high way with nothing but self driving cars, all filled and traveling at 120kph bumper to bumper, you wouldn't even come close to approaching 10% of the capacity of a single track metro light rail line running with 2 minute headway (during rush hour headways can be less than 2min, and with automated systems like those in Singapore and the new ones coming to London's underground--DLR is already automated--you can get headways of less than a minute or even 30 seconds)

https://penguindreams.org/blog/self-driving-cars-will-not-so...

Sure self driving cars could help in Europe with the last leg where they have real transport infrastructure, but the US is so far behind that successful self driving cars would just add to grid-lock.

This exactly.
I've tried couple of times with my side project on show HN - https://tardis.dev (aimed at algotraders) and it didn't pick up, but on the other hand on reddit algotrading sub I received useful feedback and even few paying users.
I do not refuse to consider the analogy, after reading the article and all the comments here, i didn't find any logical ground for the analogy. Animistic religions believing that river has a spirit, or saying that river represents the group of people who live nearby (but who obviously have conflicting interesting) do not sound convincing to me. If you have any better arguments for the validity of the analogy, i'd be happy to hear them.
Each language will have different design priorities. For example auto-currying is great but it wouldn't make sense in a multiple dispatch language since you have to evaluate every argument to dispatch (which makes n-arity functions necessarily first class, not a composition of 1-arity functions). Another example is that Julia's type system exists to make it more dynamic (while maintaining high performance), while ML languages focus on static properties.

But previous designs are great for inspiration (like you say, Julia has a lot from them, like sum and product types, subtyping, parametric polymorphism) in the same way it also borrows from Lisp (CLOS). You can probably find in the literature/issues/discussion if you're curious how the language ended up this way, for example:

Or, for absolutely everyone: pretend you're blind and click on the audio captcha option. It takes seconds to solve and is trivial 90% of the time :)
Can you link me to something on that? I'm genuinely curious.

The research I've seen all stems from the original paper, published in the late 90s. (And it took two recessions for it to be taken seriously as a recession indicator.)
It's a general rule: Systems of elements that can trust each other are more efficient than systems of elements that cannot.

(Corollary: By the time you have written laws it's already too late.)

This ties in to why I think ubiquitous surveillance systems will actually work, provided they're self-reflexive to prevent their own abuse. Secrecy is becoming exponentially more expensive. Economics and technology ensure that the surveillance systems only get better and more pervasive. So the cost/benefit ratio of "cooperation vs. defection" will be skewed towards being a "good citizen", eh? What if the Total Information Awareness systems are their own cure?
I also thing it is vastly overstated how difficult it is to incrementally refactor a project which is "fucked". It's always possible to break it into smaller pieces, and gradually improve the codebase until it is manageable and easy to work with.

What if there's no automated testing worth a damn, and the penalty for a bug is very high? Been there, done that, and I have to say, you don't ever want to stay there!
Index funds strike me as a very bad idea. They reward unprofitable ventures just for being in some index. Buying into an index fund, therefore, is buying into a class of systemically overpriced assets. Yes, backtested, index fund investment does well---but that's because you're backtesting into an era before everyone was bleating "buy index ETFs!".

Between weird investment strategies, the length of the current boom, and the very low interest rates at the peak of the boom, this coming bust is going to be a massacre. I'm honestly not even sure whether the system as a whole will survive it.

Workers generally have everything except the last paycheck already. No sane business (don't take that as any claim that most businesses are sane) doesn't pay their people first. If you don't get a paycheck on a regular basis you won't come back, so even when things are going bad employees are getting their money while suppliers aren't getting anything. When it finally gets to bankruptcy employees aren't really owed much, so it shouldn't matter.

Of course there are a lot of assumptions above. If any of the violations happen to you get ready to run before your good time is traded for more bad money.
Well I suppose "Hahahahahah hahhaha ahhah hah. Lol" is a better example of the kind thought-provoking serious writing one should aspire to consume.
That is an awful way to think about it.

At any given instant, you are about to start investing in something. You may have to stop investing in something else to do it. Your goal at any instant is to maximize the profit of your next few moments of investing. An effective strategy for you MAY to go long, as you describe, holding on to an investment for a long time. But that doesn't mean it's the most effective strategy for everyone.
