It was an error. I read his post incorrectly.

It is still a larger portion from just that section of the aquifer near the Sante Fe river. Exactly how much I do not know. Bottling water is a contentious issue and I'm not entirely certain how to feel about it. Sure it can be beneficial for providing water to areas without any safe supply. It just rubs me the wrong way that Nestle doesn't pay any money for it so it isn't exactly a "utility" cost for those people.
I'd do precisely what I'm doing now, which is a mix of open source and contract work.

I can't really think of a time beyond my first job in which money was anything other than an academic point scoring exercise. It didn't feel that way at the time, but to be honest, if you just work and don't spend it all, a few years later you're basically immune to money issues.

I don't think that it makes sense to do a job primarily for the money. I think it leads to a boring life. Then again, I don't want to live in London/NY/whatever, so that's just like, my opinion, man.
It seems like an elm-lang for the backend -- by that, I am strictly referring to its all inclusive nature. You must use their language, build tools, infrastructure, et cetera. It even seems like you must use their in-browser IDE; though it has advantages they demonstrate in the first video in the post, you're sacrificing a _lot_.

Unlike elm-lang, it's not open-source.

So to answer your question, no, you can't deploy a Django app with their platform.

EDIT: It seems like you're even giving up git for their own particular brand of version control that is tailored for their use-case, e.g. seems to include in its scope database migrations.
> Not quite as impressive, but four of the past 10 Illinois governors went to prison after their governorshipt

Well, to maintain the tradition, Illinois voters doubled down, and just did this:

>"...
As Chicago's longest serving alderman faces prison time, his spouse will become the state's most powerful judge.

The state's high court justices on Sept. 10 elected Justice Anne Burke to chief justice of the Illinois Supreme Court, succeeding former Chief Justice Lloyd A. Karmeier. (snip)

Burke's rise to chief justice comes while her husband, 14th Ward Ald. Ed Burke, faces a 14-count indictment on federal corruption charges.

In January, federal prosecutors accused the alderman of attempting to extort

the owners of a Burger King franchise in his ward by withholding a remodeling permit

in order to pressure them to hire his private law firm to handle their property tax appeals.

I’m not sure how this is news. Maybe I’m too in the bubble, but I thought every tech company used their platforms to promote their own wares. VScode gives me tools to build AKS clusters but not GKE clusters. Facebook wants me to use their marketplace, dating service, etc. Google is boosting Google Flights over travel sites. It’s unsavory and betrays their guise of impartiality, but is nothing close to illegal.

Yep, that is why some were already using PL/I and Algol dialects almost 10 years before C came to be, alongside Fortran, Cobol and Lisp.
That calculation is contingent on the endpoint in both cases being "selling the old phone". I tend to hold onto all of my old phones and computers (still have 10+ year old MacBook Pros and iPhones going back to 3GS), so the residual value is $0 in both cases.

It's not as simple as does the generational hypothesis hold, there are real downsides to having a generational GC - it means you need a copying collector. Go heap values never move, which dramatically simplifies everything else (e.g. other threads don't need to be paused to update heap pointers, reducing STW times).

I'm working my way through Steven Pinkers "How The Mind Works", it's a really interesting perspective on the brain and how it theoretically might produce human intelligence and consciousness. I didn't expect to be exercising my CS background while reading it, but it's very heavy on CS techniques and jargon despite being a psychology book (the author spends a solid chunk of the first chapter walking the reading through creating what turns out to basically be Prolog).

On the fiction side, I'm on my third Discworld book and loving them (Men At Arms).

I agree with the view of "portable assembly", or to say it more correctly, language that allows high level of control. Rust at least aims at that, so it should be a good replacement for C.

Some things were still missing though, if I remember correctly something like handling memory allocation errors was an issue, which is important for embedded systems and similar scenarios. I suppose there was some plan to address that.

That's a good way of looking at it. In my case, the total is $600 (US) across three phones since 2011, thanks to Google's discounting of off-contract phones on the Play store for Google Fi customers.

Will you guys be transparent on the pricing then?
We are both sort of right. Here's what they said:

Ginkgo Bioworks will offer to program cells for YC companies doing qualifying synthetic biology projects on a $0 down basis. Instead of charging, Ginkgo will get equity. Their equity ownership will be based on achieving technical milestones, so it’s essentially a risk free deal for the companies. Ginkgo will effectively be making a big in-kind R&D investment in these companies. Before engaging with YC companies, Ginkgo will need to vet the projects for technical feasibility and IP conflicts. But a broad range of projects will qualify, and I expect that the right companies can save years and millions of dollars by taking advantage of this deal.

This hints at consulting for product development, but specifically avoids talking about it as a butts-in-seats service (revenue scales linearly with people-hours cost). The surrounding wording is similar:

Ginkgo’s new deal will make it possible for startups to access the same platform.

Ginkgo providing startups access to their platform is a big step in the shift that we see towards the AWSification of biology.

That's the opposite of a butts-in-seats framing, but the product development work at the moment decidedly is a butts-in-seats problem. To be clear I am hugely hopeful that someone figures this out, because that's a trillion dollar problem.
Show HN: Unreal Engine 4 FPS Game Demo, Running on WebAssembly/WebGL
Very true.

The current frontend frameworks that exist are very immature and I wouldn't use them for anything other than small personal projects right now.

The current translation layer (going through JS to access the DOM) has an overhead, but is surprisingly small. There are no frameworks yet that really take advantage of this, though.

Things will become really interesting once wasm code can access the DOM directly without going through JS. (See the "Interface Types" wasm proposal)

But then again, the value of writing a frontend in Rust with it's verbosity and strict type system is very questionable when we have Typescript and the incredibly fast JS engines.

It could be valuable for large, long running apps. But those are commercial projects, which won't go for Rust (language complexity, lack of developers, productivity, ...)
I have found it nearly impossible to get any non-fiction titles that I'm interested in at my local library (San Mateo County Libraries). I have tried older titles, newer titles, popular titles, etc. The OverDrive app always autocompletes the title in the search bar, and then it tells me there are zero results.

I have tried dozens of books over a decade or so of living here. It is really frustrating, and only very occasionally (once or twice in that period?) have I actually been able to check out a title I was searching for.

So this is not just a fiction problem. It is definitely applicable to non-fiction books as well.
Apologies, I was hinting that perhaps demand in the USA is declining.

For us, we follow a very tight convention around how we write code. This has helped us in maintaining the codebase. Of-course some tools help a lot too:

- We use standard tools like flake8, isort, black for code linting.

- We are not following TDD, but we do write tests for all features. Pytest helps here

- Proper code reviews. I cannot stress this enough. As a Tech-Lead I have pushed for code reviews even when working on (supposedly) tight deadlines.

- We are also exploring to use type hints introduced in Python3.7.

It's a stupid, inefficient, and wasteful use of water.

If almond growers want to use a ton of water to grow almonds, fine. At least we get almonds, almond milk, almond oil, etc from that water usage.

Bottled water gets us nothing because most places it's getting shipped to already have clean, potable water available. It's a waste of water first and foremost. (Obviously this argument is against wealthy first world nations drinking bottled water. It's totally reasonable to ship clean water to the 2nd and 3rd world).

It's doubly offensive when you factor in the fact that most bottled water is transported in single use plastic containers that don't fall apart. There weren't any empty water bottles washed up on lakes in the 90s. They're everywhere now.

It's triply offensive when you consider this water is transported using pollution emitting vehicles.

It's 3x the waste for 1x the benefit.

The final straw is that a company is getting rich doing this but not paying for the externalities they're creating.

> You don't have much control over allocation in Go

Maybe you mean something different by "control over allocation"? Go does allow that, for example "The Journey of Go's Garbage Collector" talk has a good summary,

https://blog.golang.org/ismmkeynote

Specifically the sections about value-oriented programming are exactly that: Go allows the developer to avoid a lot of allocation by embedding structs, passing interior pointers, etc. Compared to Java or C#, it can have a much smaller number of allocations as a result.
Calling Everest the "third pole" dates back about 100 years to the golden age of exploration in the early 20th Century.

The North and South Poles received their first visits from humans in the early 1900's, and the hardest remaining spot to reach on Earth--the summit of Everest--was colloquially named "the third pole" since the challenges to reaching it were in some ways similar to reaching the geographic poles. See for example:

> The attempted ascent was – notwithstanding other aims – an expression of the pioneering thinking that was common in the British Empire. As the British were unsuccessful as the first to reach the North and South Poles they tried to go to the so-called "third pole" – to "conquer" Mount Everest.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1922_British_Mount_Everest_exp...

The term has today been adapted for discussions of climate change because of the commonality of ice. It's a poor fit IMO since the impacts of melting ice at the North Pole, South Pole, and Himalayas are all significantly different from one another: the North Pole primarily impacts wildlife and navigation, the South Pole global sea level rise, and the Himalayas fresh water availability in South Asia.

2. Browsing on Android remains secure e.g. Android 4.4 is still getting Chrome updates (I think Chrome is generally more secure than Safari anyway). iPhones become insecure to use when they stop getting updates because the browser is not updated.

Suppose you are a citizen of a country (through no choice of your own) that uses public taxes to <immoral action>. Further suppose that you have no ability to influence how your taxes are spent. You have to pay taxes, but it's not at all clear that you are morally complicit for the immoral actions taken with them. You could argue "well you shouldn't pay taxes". Well, then you lose your liberty via jail or worse. Is that better than being arguably morally complicit?

And, are you putting your actions where your words are? Are you not paying your taxes, or are you accepting blood on your hands?

Python supports optional static typing annotations now.

There are four popular typecheckers that I'm aware of (mypy [1], pyre [2], pyright [3], pytype [4]), which is a little confusing, but any of the four will catch a lot of type issues that typical statically typed language compilers would catch. It's not as robust as true static typing - there are sometimes false positives and false negatives - but I find it helpful.

And I believe every piece of new tech should be held to the same standard - if it can't work as efficiently and as compatibly as a 3.5mm jack, take it back to the drawing board until it does.
When it comes to promotions, there is one simple rule:

A promotion is not a reward for doing a good job in your current role. For a company, promoting people is an optimization technique. Good employees are hard to find and if you already have one and he or she shows the potential to do even more valuable work, you promote them.

It's as simple as that.
