How to Create an Outstanding Customer Experience
If not a performance benefit, at least minuscule energy savings.
Perhaps its my stupidity, but I don't see what this has to do with faking?

The point was that importance is not the same thing as urgency, which the parent comment didn't seem to understand.

>Choosing between Unurgent-Important<->Urgent-Unimportant is exactly the same problem as choosing between Urgent<->Important.

Sure, in the other formulation you simply make the assumption that the important task is unurgent, and the urgent task is unimportant, and so they are the same, as long as we're on the same page.

>You have two tasks: A or B. Which one should you work on first?

I actually did address this. If you have time for both the urgent one comes first, if you may have time for only one the important one comes first.

Urgent is not a synonym for important, and the point of drawing the distinction is to recognise that relative priorities can be different depending on context, such as how much time is available.

One other interesting repository of design knowledge: Texas Instruments' reference design catalog.

TI will give you the plans to build all sorts of machines and gizmos using their chips. ATMs, industrial robots, blood oxygen meters, even oscilloscopes - you can find detailed design information (schematics, BOMs, layouts, etc) on TI's website, free of charge.
I have.

It's when you do

const dir = "up"; // TS infers type "string"
test(dir); // error

For mutable variables (let/var), you usually want TS to infer `string` in the first line. IMO the fact that they also infer `string` for constants is a design flaw, that I hope will one day be fixed.

They recently added a feature to make this less painful:

const dir = "up" as const;
test(dir); // works

That's the same as `as "up"` bit without having to duplicate the string.
> You have other options, like VOF or CV, if you have funding constraints.

Which isn't a real option; VOFs and CVs do not have the financial and legal separation of you and the company that a BV has.
I wish the Mac version wasn't such garbage. It's missing most of the hotkey support that makes the Windows version such a breeze to use.

> Read/write from the same database

This gets abused even within one service. If I could get my coworkers to FFS stop using rows in a database as a degenerate kind of communications channel between components (with "recipients" slow-polling for rows that indicate something for them to do), I'd be a lot happier.

Best Tools and Resources for Entrepreneurs
People are entrepreneurial, not least in tech.

I think the issue is not lack of people willing to take risk to setup a company but lack of investors willing to take risk to finance them.

IMHO, the success of the US and Silicon Valley hinges a lot on the VC culture.
IMHO there's different kinds of ignorance. There's a difference between the absence of knowledge and misperception of reality. The first is an intellectual type of ignorance: the lack of information. The latter is the lack of wisdom/insight and leads to superimposing a view of reality onto reality itself, which leads to cruel behavior and suffering.
This particular demo is only possible with fixed light trajectory. Basically, there are 25 light states here, and blending between them.
RTX tech is next level - would allow to take this hacky static approach, to fully realtime and dynamic one.
The overall trend is slightly down for bank branches [1] but only slightly. I expect that a lot of banks (and this probably applies to things like cellular phones as well) find that having retail visibility that seems, from a strictly utilitarian aspect, almost comically
oversized compared to the actual need to still be a win.

I get it to some degree. I very rarely need a physical bank/brokerage branch but it's handy now and then so my choice of vendor for a largely commodity service is at least somewhat biased by retail availability.

Really great writeup and results! I did something similar but much simpler few years ago (https://hyperglitch.com/articles/lightstick) but instead of long exposure (as I didn't have the good camera) I recorded the video with webcam and reconstructed the final image from it so I didn't have to shoot in the dark. The octave script for image reconstruction is very basic (and the results are very lo-fi :)) but maybe you can use the same approach and with some more work make more usable results (or phone app :))
I guess every column is "computed" if you think about it? It's nitpicky and I don't know the official reason though.

Raging robots, hapless humans: the AI dystopia
Not postgresql but I saw a start date and an age in days columns in MS SQL server. The age gets updated daily. It didn't sound right to me. I'm pretty sure I'd fail my database class in college if I did that. What is different in real life and why didn't they teach me this in college?
Sintering (the most popular industrial 3D printing process) typically involves a substantial manual/machining component after the print. Also any precision elements or bearings rule out 3D printing. So, no.
Williams definitely wrote his stuff for a different generation of engineer - a generation where not everyone had access to the internet, and it behooved LTC to pack as much info into one document as possible.

The mark of just how good AN-47 is that, even in the age of the internet, it's still one of the best go-to guides on high speed opamp design and the attendant/surrounding challenges. Particularly concerning proper oscilloscope techniques for accurate measurements of high speed circuits.
There's no clear separation in databases between data definition and application logic. And this separation is very useful. You can change application logic very easily. Just stop old application and start new. You can use multiple application instances to balance load in many cases. You can often rollback bad application update. There's absolutely no problem to use miriads of development tools from Git to CI systems.

Changing database schema is a big deal. It might take a lot of time or it must be done with great caution to keep database online. It's hard to properly version it and it's often hard or just impossible to roll back bad update.

Generally database is state and application is stateless. You can couple it, but decoupling works better.
You can make demo like this in Three.js already. Difference is, how much labour it takes.

None of existing WebGL engines offers real GI.

I would suggest that writing off "Europe" as a single culture is naive at best.
Yes that's pretty much spot on. Making espresso with a manual lever machine isn't too hard too mess up, especially not in comparison with pressing one button or filter coffee. Yet it's apparently not that trivial to make such a machine, and keeping it working for hundreds of cups a day: prices of those are easily well over 10k$.
I think you could get basic metallurgy, rocks, minerals, factory techniques, description of various machines, motors, engines, pumps and irrigation, stills, solar stills, horticulture, animal husbandry and other things from wikipedia at a level that would be useful. Things like "is this plant edible" are potentially useful.
Chatbots are almost universally subpar; there's been a lot of work at trying to marry them up with natural language processing and other whizz-bang AI techniques, but still, you get down to the nitty gritty that it's a lot of work to design and implement something that's more than just a glorified IVR tree. Very few organizations will have the time and resources to make a decent experience.
I think you’re somewhat misinterpreting the post here, which as inwardly directed expression of the thought process of an individual while you discuss the external thought process and judgements onto an individual.

Please, try making similar demo in Unity, and publish it to WebGL, with mobile support.
Currently Unity will not be able to do this.
A few things I'd add today:

* Every service must provide latency and error-rate metrics.

* Every service must be capable of generating and/or responding to backpressure when things become overloaded.

* Every service must be prepared to support multitenancy.
All a matter of perspective, I suppose. Certainly not as clean as a PCB, but a PCB is not as obviously cared about as this type of circuit. Manhattan swags have an air of being fretted over and tweaked that I find very appealing.

I can't help but be impressed at those manhattan style layouts.

The first database I used professionally was called UniVerse[0], currently owned by Rocket Software. It's a Pick-style, non-relational database.

In the data dictionary for a file you could create I-descriptors, which were computed columns much like this feature allows. The difference is that I-descriptors were always calculated on the fly and they could do a LOT more than PostgreSQL's generated columns.

These were commonly used to accomplish things that SQL would use a JOIN to do, mainly because the query language didn't have joins. An INVOICES file, for example, would have fields like CUSTOMER.NAME, CUSTOMER.ADDRESS, etc, (note that the '.' is just another character in the field name, it doesn't actually mean anything to the database) which would pull the relevant information from the customer file or call a subroutine to find the relevant information (e.g., in a history file).

The results of the I-descriptor don't have to be stable - they can be calculated based on the current date/time, random numbers, data in other files, etc. This leads to some interesting possibilities that I don't think PostgreSQL's implementation can touch. It also leads to some interesting gotchas.

I don't have a good reference handy for UniVerse's I-descriptors, but the System Description document[1] has a section on it.

It had a certain elegance that I miss in modern SQL databases. On the flip side, modern SQL databases are so much more powerful.

> all these robots doing, better, the job previously done by humans.

I don't know if you use ATM's a ton, but when it's the only option you have for interacting with your bank, it's pretty terrible, because your options for if something goes wrong is to call a number and get redirected to some general call center in probably some other country and wait while some minimally paid chap who couldn't care less about your problems follows a script and then when they can't figure it out, tell you they will file a ticket and get back to you in 3-7 business days.

I agree software and robots can do the job better with the caveat that you are using the well trodden majority use case. The moment something goes wrong (software bug, does the wrong thing, etc), or you are trying to do something slightly different, good luck.
> early-on ramen-stage startups

assuming you do your homework, file for help programs etc., $250 a month would be high, and event then doesn't seem like such a high hurdle.

If you are that tight, shouldn't you take more time to build enough money before starting your business ? The actual "let's eat ramen for 2 years" mentality is usually unhealthy and you can't expect a gov. to encourage it.

On other angles, cutting these costs to 0 would also create so many loopholes for other businesses that should otherwise pay full price.

Racket 7.4 now comes running on chez if you so wish. Check out [1]. In there there's also the links to the whys, hows and whats of the whole effort.

I've been using racket quite a lot lately, really like it. The thing I do not like about racket is the whole "racket 2" effort. Abandon S-exps? Really? To leave behind the 'popularity boundaries' of lisps? d'oh How about you drop your common USP that you share with the other lisps to become .. what, exactly.. irrelevant?

Cf. your 'dialect' point: In reality, the languages are just (supposed to be) DSLs for specific (sub-)problems of your problem-space. I don't mind, at all. You just require the libraries written in that other dialect from racket and use the stuff in there, et voila.

Actually, this is not true. It's a well-known problem that "uncontacted tribes" actually suffer from continual outside influence, with people living near them actively trying to "civilize" them, or people with zero consideration for the law committing crimes on or near the lands occupied by the tribes, in some cases attacking and killing the tribespeople to accomplish their goals. For example "uncontacted" tribes in the Amazon have actually recently initiated contact with local government officials to ask for help with cartel enforcers that killed members of their tribes to make room for their grow / transport operations. And in another example, the "uncontacted" Sentinelese tribe in the North Sentinel Islands has actually been trading with local fishermen for years, but it was not widely known because contacting the tribe is against the law. It was only recently revealed to be the case after that stupid American missionary went on his quest to "teach the tribe about Jesus" ("civilize them") and was killed on the beach, and the police were investigating ways to retrieve his corpse.

We absolutely do not "leave them alone". Or at least -- in the grandest tradition of human hypocrisy -- we just all agree to say we leave them alone if anyone asks, and just sort of pretend like our laws are foolproof solutions to things like preventing interference with "uncontacted" tribes, or stopping drug addiction, or preventing gun violence, or what have you.

The best part of learning Vim is being able to load it into almost all IDEs such as Eclipse and VS Code. Even though those implementations are incomplete and slow versus stock vim, it makes navigating and modifying text much easier.

None of that seems to have anything to do with their ethos. Yes, The Ramones, the shittiest punk band that ever existed, was basically making bad 50s music. The Clash and the Sex Pistols were absolutely fed up with their parents' generation. Who gives a shit if they were taking advantage of pop idols and trying to make themselves "bad boys"? Clothing and the ability to shred isn't an ethos.
My personal Instagram vs TikTok experience can be summarized in three points.

(i) TikTok's content is more engaging
(ii) Instagram's content could be easily recreated on TikTok
(iii) TikTok's explore feed is addictive

(i) TikTok videos are high-definition, fluid videos with catchy music. TikTok's compression algorithm almost seems lossless since videos are much more crisp than on Instagram/Facebook. I even believe they are upsampling videos from 30fps to 60fps (although this is just a personal observation and may be wrong). The catchy music is probably self-explanatory.

(ii) Think of typical Instagram content: an influencer posing or a travel snapshot. Now imagine the same content as short, crisp, and fluid videos with engaging music. Instagram content creators could easily recreate their content on TikTok in a more engaging way.

(iii) Upon opening the app you are shown the explore feed. You are shown a single TikTok video in fullscreen and you can swipe up to load the next video. The TikTok app seems to preload the next 5 videos which in practice means that content is always instantly available. The algorithm is quite quick in learning what content you like to see.

I think this quote sums up my thoughts quite nicely: "When I was a product manager at Facebook and Instagram, building a true content-first social network was the holy grail. We never figured it out. Yet somehow TikTok has cracked the nut and leapfrogged everyone else." — Eric Bahn, General Partner at Hustle Fund & Ex Instagram Product Manager
