In tech, it feels like negative cash flow is valued partly for it's ambiguity.

With positive cash flow, your valuation becomes easier.

With negative cash flow, you're either (a) strategically burning for growth or (b) unsustainable.

But you can pitch as to why it's one instead of the other. Which gives a lot of wiggle room for "early stage unicorn magic" tales.

Why is that an opt-in option? No codebase should ever be willing to create a session id (any db/cache id/key) based on request details. The fact you have to opt in to a very basic security measure is, once again, a joke. Let's be clear: by default, Rails is willing to assign a client any session id based on its own request?!?!

Based on the other reply to my comment... no I'm not OK. I am not OK with Rails' pathetic attempts at the most basic level of security. Rails' developers are fucking amateurs. I'm sorry, but that's pure fact. Rails' developers don't know the first thing about the HTTP protocol.

NOBODY EVER CREATES A DB/CACHE KEY BASED ON THE VALUE OF A CLIENT-PROVIDED COOKIE (or unvalidated GET/POST). Anyone who argues against this should be permanently banned from IT/Technology. Just... fuck off... you have no clue.

Actually the article says that little details like the order of events or where the president was where the parts that folks get wrong. It’s not like I’m going to forget or incorrectly remember that I was in a class at school when it happened and we tuned in live to a TV in a classroom next door that happened to have cable. And how everyone assumed for the first hour or so that it was just this tragic, tragic accident. Now if you asked me, who was I with, or what did I do later that day, or who was the first person I spoke to... well, that’s where I might have false memories. I “know” I called my parents and was emotionally shaken for weeks after, scared (sometimes even now) of working in really tall buildings or those that might be a target, and that even now, I’m less likely to suggest or hold meetings on Sept 11, as conversationally I know it will distract folks. Whether my memories are 56% accurate or 86% accurate doesn’t matter that much, I know how I felt and that’s what counts. :)

I could hardly imagine taking flight in a jet to potentially intercept one of the suspect planes knowing that your only options were to aim for the tail or the cockpit. Knowing that you were acting as a type of kamikaze. Chilling. That thought was barely on my mind during the day on 9/11 as a 6th grader. I still get chills thinking about it.
What? Clojure is not similar to Scala at all. Its learning curve is not that steep, because it allows you to learn things "à la carte" - you can pretty much learn it while building things. I have personally met several people to whom Clojure was the very first language they learned. I once give a book to our test automation engineer, and a week later, he has built a dashboard (for test runs) in Clojurescript. He was like: "I am very much surprised myself how quickly I was able to build it." It was a wild mish mash of all sorts of libraries, weirdly looking non-idiomatic Clojure code, but it was a completely functional app.
My impression is the opposite. Compared to Github, Gitlab is simply phenomenal, especially the UX. It's honestly one of the few pieces of software that I truly enjoy using every day.

You cherry-picked stuff from the center of the diagram. Stuff like climate "science" and "gender" gets posted a good bit; these are things of which the left has made issues. My point is that the whole left circle - issues important to the left and important to both left and right - are posted and discussed. Issues important only to the right are flagged down. Right-wing perspectives on political posts are flagged down. To take an example, very occasionally, I see a mention of guns that includes a right-wing perspective. Even if it's politely stated, flagged down. Example, something like: "The arguments about taking guns lowering mass shooting-rates does mot affect the right because priorities are different. The right is willing to tolerate some death as tragic but a fact of life to maintain rights, and mass shooting death rates are vastly below other public health issues any way."

Such a comment would be flagged down. A comment taking the opposing point-of-view, even much less politely, would be supported. Comments with vulgarity and rudeness are also tolerated only from certain perspectives. This disparity is particularly galling because low-ranked comments become greyed to the point of un-readability, and flagged ones don't appear at all by default. I couldn't care less about the internet points, but HN ought to leave un-popular opinions visible.

On a relatively short test course in the hands of legendary racer Keiichi Tsuchiya, the ND[1] was 1.431 seconds slower than the Abarth[2] in best lap time comparison...seems about right when linearly scaling over VIR's length, and given the Abarth's better factory torque and suspension tune.

Otherwise, in general agreement.

> rotary dial phones, 8 track players, VCRs

None of those products are close to as dependent on network effects to provide value. Rotary telephone didn't depend on other rotary telephone users, just the existence of automatic exchanges. 8 track and VCR didn't depend on other users of the format, but on the availability of content in that format. While they all gain advantages in pricing / availability from networks effects, the core functionality of these products does not depend directly on the network.

The rotary dial phone had no real competition.

8 track player adoption was largely driven by large automakers offering 8 track players as factory and dealer installed options (and thus simplifying the on-boarding process). Once 8-track's portable niche was taken over by the easier to use cassette tapes, it declined fairly quickly.

VCRs did not face an 'uphill' competition against a competitor with an existing network effect advantage. It can even be argued that Betamax lost (despite having a product that was percieved to be better) because its higher cost relative to VCRs hampered its on-boarding process.

There will (almost) always be people willing to cope with a worse on-boarding process and/or steep learning curve. (This is far more true for a product that has functionality not otherwise available.)

However, if your product is dependent on network effects and you are competing uphill against a similar product with a well established network, then your on-boarding process and learning curve will be critical (but not the only factor to) your success.

It is hard to find a group of products that is more dependent on network effects than P2P software (besides centralized messaging platforms).
I wish I had learned to appreciate the now so to speak. Too often do I look back and think of the old Andy Bernard quote "I wish there was a way to know you're in "the good old days"

Anymore I try to take a step back sometimes and look at myself objectively and look at what makes me happy so I can appreciate it NOW instead of when time has passed. I think its made me a better father, brother, son and friend.
If an emergency is a circumstance in which ongoing realities are emergent and aren't predictable based on previous experience or world-models, this is a phenomenal example of those dynamics

I like this characterization somewhat, though I think there needs to be a [perceived danger] variable not accounted for.

Perhaps:

An emergency is a circumstance in which realities are perceived as existentially dangerous and aren't predictable based on previous experience or world-models

Especially acute is the widespread confusion part. That fits well with my personal (more than I'd like) experiences with true existential emergencies.

Can moving air without altering the temperature be considered an air conditioner? Does blowing air away from you as you sleep mean that you wont be hot anymore? If so, then blowing hot air from outside of the residence is "air conditioning". But cooling off the body does happen when airflow is increased, but not by any measurable amount.. certainly not when the air temperature is 85°+
It's about risk. Python is a scripting language. That means that it's often auxiliary to a primary programming language. Your project might be in C++ but you use Python to package it or generate some assets, etc. Do you really care what language your auxiliary scripts are written in? No. Are you going to spend any amount of time converting them to Python 3 syntax? No. Your boss doesn't care, and you don't care. It would only end badly.

It wasn't. (And Tauthon is arguably a really cool name.)

But it does indicate that they want Python 2 dead.

Like I said, if people were just fading out of Python 2 that wouldn't make me call them arrogant, it's when they insist that other people have to ditch Python 2 that I start to feel like there's some arrogance there.

Like I said in a another comment, the only thing you get from switching to Python 3 is Python 3 compatibility. If Python 2 remains viable (which it will) there's much less incentive to use 3.

Python 2 isn't broken or bad or anything, it's just not Python 3. We aren't being urged to switch because 2 is (so much) worse than 3 but because it's a viable competitor to it.
I think I'll stick with paying people like you to deal with these sorts of issues in my code. ;)

The defined semantics for those instructions include sandboxing. If there is no sandbox, it's not WASM. It wouldn't be implementing the instructions as described in the spec.

You can argue that a sandbox might be low quality. That's fine. But it doesn't make it non-sandboxed.

The world "just" is my pet peeve. Before you say "why don't you just xxx" make sure you actually understand the problem thoroughly. Otherwise it's impolite to make a suggestion to "just do ...". If there is one thing I have learned it's that good devs make sure they really understand the situation before making suggestions.

Title not related to the article "Trump shared classified info with Russians"
Actually, the article you linked proves that it is true.

In recalling where they were when they learned of the attack, people were 89 percent accurate at survey two and 83 percent accurate at survey three.

So the statement nearly every American remembers where they were is TRUE.

The survey shows that more minute details get lost over time, such as who they were with/ how they learned about it. But I'm pretty sure thats the case with human memory in general.

XRP is the greatest digital asset ever created
I was 20 years old and at my internship. We had TVs along the hallway in the center of the building. I remember looking up (I could see the TVs from my cube), seeing a number of older coworkers watching the news after the first plane had hit, I got up to join them. Shortly after I joined them, the second plane hit, and I remember muttering "well, we're at war...". A colleague roughly 3 times my age and close to retirement looked at me and asked, "what do you mean?" Response was something along the likes of "well, one could be an accident, but two? No accident, that's intentional." Of course, we later heard about the other 2 planes.

I was supposed to go through downtown Chicago that day to turn in a project at my college campus, but I politely emailed my instructor, telling him in no uncertain terms that there was no way in hell I was getting anywhere near downtown that day. I emailed him my project and told him I'd turn in the physical copy when things were safe. At the time, I was living near Ohare. It was eerie how quite it was without all of the jets taking off and landing. When you did see planes, it was a pair of either F-15s or F-16s running combat air patrols. Very surreal experience.

Your AWS rates will go down with increased usage and at any time you could switch your engineering goals from features to performance. If you are growing fast then the savings you can make this quarter will be negligible in a year but the added features won’t.

It often makes lots of sense putting tech cost efficiency near the bottom of your priorities when you are growing fast and human time is your limiting resource.
Does the time it would take to spin up enough compute to carry out a 51% attack decrease its likelihood? I.e more blocks are being written every day, so you need to do additional work to create the alternate chain?

Doesn't matter if you're coming from outside or not, no one can predict the future.

For example winston was probably the most recommended logging library (14k stars) and was a good recommendation at one point. But then they decided to do a rewrite for v3 which introduced a ton of bugs and incompatibilities. I spent several days trying to get it to log in the old format and failed and ended up downgrading back to v2.

This is a recurring theme in the js ecosystem (another example is react-router which is just a huge piece of shit and no one should depend on it despite its 37k stars).

Well, if the blog post actually had been written by GPT-2, its very existence would be a counterexample to one of its main claims, that GPT-2 isn’t really good enough to generate convincing long-form nonfiction.

Also, that part of the argument is not purely a priori, instead being supported by a wide range of factual claims about specific limitations of GPT-2. If the post had been written by GPT-2, those claims would probably be false, since GPT-2 is not designed to differentiate truth from plausible-sounding fiction. And false claims would invalidate the whole argument. Assuming a human author, on the other hand, the claims are probably true. They could be false if the author was either misinformed or lying, but those possibilities are subjectively unlikely.
The compiler should be capable of inferring the type as far as reasonably possible. But it should be an error to not specific the types of top level functions and class methods.

This way, when you write

const f = (a, b) => a + b

the compiler can tell you to write:

const f => <T extends number|string>(a: T, b: T): T => a + b

or

const f : <T extends number|string>(a: T, b: T) => T
= (a, b) => a + b

This would be effectively like GHC's typeholes, where the compiler will tell you what to write when you say

f :: _
f a b = a <> b

except that rather than being an optional step by a developer, it's a mandatory standard.

(Well, I don't think typescript infers that type for that function, but whatever it actually infers, that's what should be there in the error message.)

The Ainu people of Hokkaido,Japan are no different than the indigenous peoples of the Aleutian islands of Alaska. I do not think it's a stretch that the supposed icebridge over there Bering sea would have given a direct route to British Columbia. I think it is common knowledge that life originated in Africa and dispersed from there. Thoughtfully, people of the ancient world would have been in the Northern reaches of Japan before they would have ventured to North America. If there was a link to Japan I would see it as almost natural that it would connect the cold regions of British Columbia and Hokkaido.
99% of the time. Nope, having tons of paying customers and profit is what will matter. If the "shitty code" was good enough to build that business, it will be a good enough to keep it running. I have seen companies acquired for tens of millions and 2 hundred million offers and the code was pure shit. It was the customers/business that was important. Guess what, those acquisitions were successful and the buyer is happy! The acquiring development team wasn't happy of course and won't have signed off on buying because of the code base, but that's why they are engineering and not M&A!

Thought experiment, imagine you build a social network that grows to be as large as twitter or Instagram, or you come up with an amazing deep learning tech that is far ahead of anything in the industry. Do you think all the companies that will come knocking at your door will care about the code quality? In the former case, if you have 100 million DAU, folks want the users not the code. In the later, if you have amazing tech, no one cares about the code quality, they want the tech, they can hire pros to fix and improve the quality.
