A couple million dollars is a retirement nest egg. You can stop working, stretch it carefully until you die, and leave a small sum to your heirs.

To be very rich requires upwards of $100 million. Then you can access high paying investments which will generate enough income to afford a couple houses, hire help, buy a boat and a plane, and have enough left over after taxes to increase your assets to offset inflation. Actually, if you want a jet plane (with hired pilots, mechanics, hangers, etc) and a couple nice houses (>$10 million each plus staff) in the nicest places (Beverly Hills, Palm Beach, Jackson Hole), you need upwards of $1000 million.

One thing I didn't notice for a few quarters was that the slack bot was not automatically configured to show the other people in the standup what was written. This is very important to the standup concept so you can discuss and help others on a task if it seems relevant, and everyone is aware.

And all of those basic instructions only operate in a protected memory space. There is no stack to manipulate,no way to do syscalls or interact with the host environment in any way that is not mediated by the runtime.

The spec [1] clearly states that Webassembly is sandboxed.

A non-sandboxing implementation would be either non-compliant or have bugs (which admittedly they most likely do at this point, considering they are still new).

GP is saying they would like for flow to offer some leeway for things like this: https://flow.org/try/#0MYewdgzgLgBAZiEMC8MDaByBIMF0DcAUKJLNA... (i.e. not nag on a "technically-it-could-be-non-string-but-I-know-for-a-fact-that-this-is-fine")

By activating this wallet you agree you're not in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Sudan, Crimea, or any other country or region subject to sanctions by OFAC; further you agree you're not a non-resident alien of the United States."

So this is only open to people living in the USA or people with some sort of non-alien legal status in the USA who are not currently residing in the list of banned countries? Seems odd to ban a specific list of countries, and then on top of that ban almost everyone who is not in the USA.
Hmmm go outside of HN land and you will get/see a different set of consumer metrics.
I had to replace the "50" in the title with "All" since HN doesn't allow titles that begin with a number. Hopefully this doesn't count as editorializing the title, and is allowed.

Edit: put "50" back in the title. In this case, the number isn't there to make a clickbait title.
By experience, people with large Python projects often overblown the difficulty of porting in their head. Unless you have a very rare irreplaceable dependency or some terrible C extension, porting is easy.

It's tedious yes. Boring even. But most projects get away with 2 weeks of investment. And yes, it pays back. Python 3 is a vastly superior language when it's about introducing less bugs or debugging existing ones. It's just not stuff what had be sold to the public. People want to hear about better perf or fancy features, not better error messages or banned logical errors.

The hardest code base I saw ported was the Twisted project. It's a good counter example: it was long, hard, and required very gifted people (thanks Hawkowl !).

But most projects are not like that. They are full of dumb operational logic that can be ported 80% by 2to3, and a bit of manual fix.

The fact is, people love to complain, so you will hear massively people with that particular example from the movie industry, or this guy who coded this Fortran extension that was in such a tough situation. Well guess what, that's not what most migrations are about.

Most migrations are Django/flask websites, math teachers exercises, physicists scripts, sysadmin tools, etc. Straightforward stuff. I should know, I've been moving from industry to industry for 10 years, all my clients are different, but most of them end up with similar stuff in their repo because Pareto is a thing.

Nonetheless, the screams from the first ones scared the later.
Holy sh*it that quote. Thank you, I'm adding that book to my amazon cart right now.
There are solutions to that, I wouldn't go so far as to say it's not possible. But I don't advocate for it or think it's in any way going to happen either.
Exactly.

> So in my books senior developers knew what they were doing comes with huge assumption.

This is another big assumption, and... especially given that we know in our industry that 'title inflation' is a real thing... "sr" just doesn't seem to mean much. I'm seeing lots of job postings today that call for "sr foo engineer", calling for 3+ years of experience. My definition and expectations of 'sr' are far different.

Interestingly, I've only been in a couple of places that even defined what they actually meant by that title - what was expected was written down. It was still open to interpretation, but a baseline to judge you against, and to give jr folks something to shoot for.

> which still had hardcoded values underneath and absolutely non-extensible.

Don't even get me started on people that just learned the 'final' keyword and abuse the hell out of it. :)

From the paper:

>To extend previous work, in addition to audio analysis features, we consider song duration and mine an additional artist past-performance feature. Artist past-performance for a given song represents how many prior Billboard hits the artist has released before that track’s release date

I wonder how accurate a model using this feature alone would be.
Is it a billion dollars, though? I mean, if you started selling them, the market price would likely go down. In other words, are there enough people looking to buy 94504 BTC at current market value?
Reminds me of a German saying I can't quite remember (something like 'erber, gerber, versterber'). Basically the first rich generation is very frugal because they had to work hard to attain it. The second generation maintains it, not really adding more but not frittering it away either, and the third generation throws it away on ski resorts and fancy cars.

That's also one of the few things I do respect about 'old money': they really drill it into their kids to not be ostentatious and wasteful with the familial wealth, thus escaping the aforementioned trap.
This. I've worked for an ISP as a software engineer for almost 3 years and even though the company doesn't directly make money from what we do, we are quite respected for the value that we provide.

Also that last statement hits way too close to home.

Ditto. On-call work was just regular hours, and we could use those against our 40/week obligation aka cut out early, or else file for comp time.

Correct. JavaScript is fundamentally flexible on certain things, and while it's very helpful to have some assistance with taming that wilderness, it will fundamentally never be perfect, and by fighting the language tooth and nail on things that don't matter, one only creates developer pain.

Every state receiving funds in the Master Settlement Agreement. They are effectively partnering with the tobacco companies and they lose money when people successfully quit smoking.
What I prefer is a relatively small written document to give an overview of the application/system, common usage scenarios, and big caveats or tricky spots.

Edge cases and smaller design decisions on the other hand should go into a kind of wiki and/or bug database that is searchable based on entity(s), issue/feature type, programmer, commentator (content author), change requester, etc. There will often be back-and-forth discussions that would bloat up a formal document. But to be useful, it requires a good knowledge-base, both product-wise and management-wise.

You know how I made them? I never gifted anyone anything. Now, hand over that change.."

You basically have to look at the availability and cost of transport of the goods. Salt was abundant in the Dead Sea area so the need to import salt would have been pretty low.

As for the movement of writers, or the scrolls post creation, you'd look at where scripts were generated and where they sourced their materials. Just speculating, as I haven't read the background material on this new discovery, but it would make sense that the monasteries in Jerusalem would have a reproducible sourcing process since they would be generating manuscripts often. Same would go for monasteries around the Dead Sea.

I ordered 'vape juice' online for my nephew one time. For the past few months I've received spam about cheap CBD vaping juices. Most of these articles mention low quality or debased CBD formulations.

Just my initial suspicion after seeing these articles crop up at the same time as my received spam emails.

As I mentioned in reply to another comment, the restrictions on use are listed in section (b)Permissible Uses of the DPPA.

The price varies considerably depending upon what kind of data you're after (and setting aside volume discounts). Things like driver's license searches, vehicle searches, auto accidents, and moving violation history cost $0.50 to $2.00 if you're buying a la carte, but you're usually getting these data as part of a report costing $5.00 to $10.00. You can pull detailed driving records from about 18 different states at cost of anywhere between $7 and $25, depending on which state it is (these reports are a la carte only).

I don't have a license agreement I'm allowed to send you, but I can tell you that many government agencies around the country have contracts with these brokers, so if you know the name of the product/company selling the data then you can find some of the contracts online.

Except for those expensive reports, you never really know where the data you're looking at came from. I suppose I could run identical searches on people with the DPPA data flag turned on or off to compare but haven't had occasion to. You basically just get back whatever fields you request-- they might be populated with DPPA data and they might not. You never know and the broker's don't annotate the response with anything indicating the data's provenance.
> It effectively establishes a billion dollar bounty for any party who can rewrite enough blocks to erase it.

I don't really agree with that statement. Yes, someone could mount a 51% attack to rewrite that block. However, it would be pretty straightforward to see what was happening (and which nodes were the malicious actors). If that did happen, the possible outcomes would be:

1. The value of bitcoin would fall to basically 0. The reason bitcoin has any value at all really has to do with trust - belief that the protocol is secure and can't be broken. In this case, an easily detectable spending "override" would cause faith in the protocol to evaporate.

2. Note I don't believe #1 would happen. The response would be all the other miners who do have a vested interest in bitcoins success would put all their resources in ensuring the original block was maintained.

I.e. the options aren't between one address getting the billion+ dollars or another address getting a billion+ dollars. The options are one address getting a billion+ dollars or everyone's bitcoin going to 0.

Edit: Another likely possible outcome is you could get what happened to Ethereum when the DAO was hacked: a fork to Ethereum vs. Ethereum Classic. But it's still important to note Ethereum Classic is worth a teeny fraction of what Ethereum is.
Good on the author for an excellent write-up but I really don't see the point of this except as a learning exercise.

Instead of running a single static server, they now have a cluster of three servers plus Cloudflare to serve up a few static files to a fairly small number of people. And even then they have problems with caching and IPFS-related bandwidth. And almost nobody actually accesses the site via IPFS, making the whole thing rather pointless.
But then Apple is not only putting themselves at a disadvantage against other platforms for long stretches of time (“iOS can do that with Apple stuff” is better than “iOS can’t do that”), but also giving up their ability to dogfood new APIs and test them in a much larger capacity than even a public beta would allow.

In order to remain competitive, they’d be forced to release half-baked/under-tested APIs, which is never good. That’s exactly how the Android developer story got as bad as it did at its lowest points.

I had a casual acquaintance who had a few hundred million dollars managed by a large US bank.

His son--who only had single-digit millions--wanted to buy a house, so the dad talked to the bank and they arranged a zero-interest mortgage for him. They were happy to pass on what they might have earned from the mortgage interest (a few hundred thousand dollars, I'd guess) to make this guy a happy client.
In fact, it's merely an irrelevant usage of a very famous quotation.
When I interview that's my first question, because it helps set the stage for being it a dialog instead of a Q&A barrage. It's much easier to also wash people out at this stage (depending on what # you are in the interviewing sequence) when they have strong opinions of on call rotations, remote work, etc. Questions often come to mind as you go along through an interview process and I'd rather you ask up front then have it sit in the back of an interviewee's mind as something they want to remember to ask.

Not GP, but as a developer working with TypeScript and C#, I respectfully disagree regarding the type system. There are many things I like better in C# compared to JavaScript, but I feel overly constrained by the type system of C# way more often, and most notable is the lack of discriminated unions (aka sum types etc). You can say that something has this and that, but not that it is this or that.
