I can do the very basics of VIM (like exit it).

Can anyone tell me what I would gain over Pycharm (when most of my work is done there) as the learning curve seems steep?
so if disney didn't sell merchandise using their characters, i could do so myself without impunity? i find that hard to believe.

if i buy a banksy greeting card then i most definitely assume that it is licensed because i would not consider that they'd be allowed to do so without licensing.

if that is the issue though, wouldn't it be enough for banksy to put a price on the license?

you want to sell banksy greeting cards, you need to get a license from banksy. he just needs to put the price high enough to make it worth his while, and/or to make it unprofitable for the would-be licensee.
Also great for BI.
Most BI tools make a lot of calculations in their queries just to get the data as they want.
With this, you can get that calculations pre-made and persisted except when you make a backup.
Also in my experience DB Schemas often (but not always) outlast logic implemented in applications. The more the business assumptions reside in the database, the easier it becomes to rewrite applications on top of it later.
Sugar? Maybe.
Salt? Why?
The vim extension for VSCode even has macro recording!
>but you can’t get depressed because life is too logical

Can you elaborate? In my experience this is pretty much the only reason for depression, eg life does not happen how your logic tells you it suppose to happen.

Wouldn't it be better to do the calc in your app and save it to the db? Best of both worlds
This is also much faster than the equivalent using a PL/pgSQL trigger.
IMO these types of calcs are better done in your app, where you can at least write a test and assert it's doing the right thing

1) the assertion that code in the DB can’t be tested is a bizarre and unfounded one

2) in any serious organisation there may be dozens of apps in a dozen different languages talking to the DB. Do you seriously propose implementing the same thing in each one, or doing it once in the DB and knowing it’s correct for everyone?

> But the reality is that it was only avoided for a while, and will never be solved so long as nuclear stockpiles are maintained.

That doesn't solve anything either, countries could just start building nuclear weapons "in secret" at any time. What are you going to do about it? You can have sanctions, but those didn't stop NK or Iran.

Let's say that nuclear weapons didn't exist, what about biological and chemical weapons? What about endless trench warfare?

The real problem is war, not the means to it. It's conceivable that nuclear weapons prevented many wars, in a "high risk, high reward" type of situation.
I read the whole thing, but thanks. And if you misrepresent my position without even asking for clarification, you not understanding it hardly comes as a surprise.

> other than that the "existential threat" is "to break up the companies"

The government derives its legitimacy from the people, and running a corporation is a privilege granted by said government. If it wants to split companies up because they became too powerful, that's perfectly fine. To get all "let's fight" about that is like a dog thinking it actually should sit on the couch because it has teeth.

> Unless you are willing to tie opposition to anything that any elected official has ever proposed as opposition to democracy itself, I guess.

It's not general "opposition" based on reasons that respect the reasons the other side has, it's pure self-interest. I, very much reasonably so, think that that meeting is the tip of an iceberg, and that when Zuck says "go to the mat", he means go to the mat.

> And it would be a far stretch to somehow move the goalposts to say that breaking up the companies is somehow fundamentally an aspect of democracy.

No, but the ability to do so very much is, and should be in no way dependant on the legal prowess or pocket depth of the company subject to that operation.

If you can't put a muzzle and a leash on companies that have the ability to fuck with democracy in a very real and serious way, especially if they show no sign of having any moral compunctions about doing so, you don't have a democracy, you have a theater group in a mall.
Woa, you're getting downvoted. I can't believe the hypocrisy
> I see frozen uncooked pizza in stores. I feel like it existed 20-30 years ago too although I'm not sure exactly. Surely these are not hand made.

When looking into manufacturing of things I'm often amazed how much manual labor there often is involved as humans still are cheaper than construction and maintenance of machines doing complicated tasks. Also humans can be replaced simpler on failure than a machine and can simpler be adopted to varying products.

Specifically on pizza I only found this video: https://youtu.be/OMPFlbGXdFA where humans at least fix the salami slices. It doesn't show how they portion and form the dough, which I assume to be the complicated part.
Nobody is forced to do it, you can quit if you don't like it, and you get compensated very well.
Please explain how it "borders on slavery" to allow people to work a lot for a lot of money out of their own accord?
I'm ready to prove that certain parts of this article don't show incompetence, but instead demonstrate culture and occasionally limitations of hearing. This dunning-krugicle is no gem though, alot of Jimmy Kimmel, and not much Jaywalking.
I don't think 'fake it till you make it' is as simple as that. The whole thing about imposter syndrome is that plenty of fully competent people 'know' they are incompetent (and conversely plenty of incompetent ones 'know' that they are the most valuable employee in the company.) Therefore, 'fake it till you make it' isn't directly about basically being a fraud, it's about presenting yourself as the competent professional you (hopefully) pretty much are.

Or, at least, the realisation that everyone else is probably faking it too.
vim is still the best text editor, our whole family uses it for daily work
Find my iPhone, find my friends and Tile provide a lot value to our family every day.

Really waiting for the Apple branded products. While I’m quite happy with the tile, it would be convenient to have all i devices scanning for my lost stuff. Also being able to see the more exact location inside house would be great.
If by "some of us" you mean hundreds of thousands of scientists, engineers, managers, janitors, miners that dig the raw materials, shipping specialists and all sorts of professionals and billions of consumers (that allow for large scale production to be economically feasible), yeah, I guess collectively we are "smarter" than a self sufficient guy merely waiting for the right time the seeds to plant themselves, pests just killing themselves, the crops just harvesting themselves, the produce just storing itself, the next years seeds just setting themselves aside, the meals just preparing themselves and so on.
I'm not sure that anyone understands it, really.

In Turkey TikTok people and Instagram/Twitter people cater to completely separate demographics[from all ages]. People in Instagram/Twitter world would be exposed to funny TikTok videos quite often through Instagram/Twitter celebrities but TikTok is viewed as the place where "rednecks do cringy things that are sometimes funny but I don't want to be associated with".

BBC Turkish did a short documentary[0] on Turkish TikTok celebrities, they were talking about their desire(but a failure) to migrate their fanbase to YouTube since the monetisation was not good enough on TikTok. They portrayed TikTok as a place for everyday people, unlike other places like Instagram where apparently everyone lives a glamorous life.

ok, i'll bite: you need to learn vim if you are ever going to edit stuff remotely on a vanilla unix/linux/bsd server
Why do I need to build a 128-bit machine to imagine a usecase for it? What you refer to is not applicable to usecases, only to business cases. We first had to build broadband internet before video streaming websites became a viable business model, but surely someone thought of video streaming during the dialup era?
This is a common mistake people make. If you make a custom engine you do not need to beat what is already out there since you are certainly not going to use every single feature that the engines out there use. Bespoke engines (that are actually used in games) aren't trying to replace Unreal or Unity, they are only providing what the games they are used for need - anything else is unnecessary. Even in the high end AAA space, most bespoke engines do not provide everything that Unreal does - they focus only on the specifics their development teams need.

This is especially important to keep in mind when it comes to smaller (be it indie or "AA") developers - the developers who write their own engines aren't trying to replace Unreal, these engines only support a tiny tiny fraction of the functionality that Unreal does and that is fine because that functionality is what these developers need. If anything, for a smaller developer that does not have the necessary developer manpower to mold an existing gargantuan engine like Unreal to their needs it can be a better choice to go with their own engine than try to understand and modify Unreal.
#Script Lisp
Faking something is the opposite from truly thinking it - in theory. In practice, faking something with ourward confidence, when met with success, sooner or later builds the confidence inside you as well. Human psychology isn't rational.
Not quite bullshit, I think. Even in Singapore, which has been hit by transnational haze several times (due to plant burning in neighboring Indonesia), people still are not aware that there is a proper way to wear face masks, or even the right type of masks to get. Here's an example article about it recently [1]

This does highlight a major issue in technology+policy+society -- there's no way to "point fingers" and say "Look at what this company is doing!". You can say "Facebook is doing bad thing X" but when I open Facebook I don't see it.

Contrast to something like a coal company strip mining, and everyone can see the same thing with their own eyes.
I think the article doesn't apply when the problem is simple.

Imagine you have to build a word processor in assembly language. At that point it may be worth it to build a compiler first.

Or arguably data types.
Unfortunately I've found that vim modes for various editors are good enough to fool you so you keep using them, but not good enough to not frustrate you with the differences. In PyCharm, for example, I have no idea how to use any keyboard shortcuts with vim mode on, since vim then absorbs the keys pressed and I lose all keyboard access to the functionality.
So that one can extract out a repeated check such as

if (typeof x === "number")
throw new Error();

into a function.

I agree with the article, but I'd like to add another early step: Understand that Vim's normal-mode commands are like a language with nouns and verbs. You can mix and match most nouns (motions) with most verbs (actions). So when you already know 5 motions, learning a new action actually means learning 5 action-motion combinations at once.

With this in mind, observe yourself as you work and notice which motions and actions you need most (like `ci"` in the article). Focus on these at first for those sweet sweet quick wins.
Yes, but why should society help you with that goal? In order to get something from society, there should be some sort of equivalent exchange. You are asking for a form of violence enforced by society (policing to enforce that the particular political party doesn't play your song). What exactly is society getting from you but a limited opportunity to enjoy the music you created?

This is a bad deal for society. Renegotiating it won't stop artists from producing art. If you don't want that political party playing your song, make sure they never hear it: play it only for people you trust.
there should more granular data, at least in europe. Producing a map with GDP per working hour per worker on a district level would be quite cool (whatever the most precise avaiable statistic is)! I don't think just listing countries ist actually that interesting, because i would suspect some countries to be quite heterogenous and other quite homogenous.

When I think about it, GDP per working hour is actually quite the interesting metric.
So I'm pretty skeptical, they are presumably targeting amyloid plaques in the brain with electro-magnetic stimulation. I just think how? Is it a microwave tuned to destroy the proteins or some other means? The mechanism of action seems very very sketchy to me and I just don't believe you can target proteins without hurting other parts of the brain. Anyone with more information on the mechanism of action I'd love to hear it. Until then I'll assume it's just made up.
Agreed! I'm a JS developer and SPA is over rated!

There's definitely a language/paradigm switching cost if you jump back and forth too much.

What I found helpful was to prototype all the migrations and queries (of whatever feature or user flow you're building) in a .sql file first with mocked values. You'll be surprised by how much you can do if you're simply forced to write pure sql. Once you've reached the limit of what you can do you can move the queries back into your app to wire the rest up. This is usually not much work if you use raw queries instead of ORMs. You usually end up writing a lot more efficient apps this way!

Also, the 'clang' robots that come to mind have a certain amount of self-reliance. The 'non-clang' robots (which are basically macro's running in VMs), stop working as soon as an unexpected popup appears, the software is upgraded or the products on one page are suddenly on two.

No, the 'non-clang' robots are an indication of the software engineers' gross failure to properly integrate and standardize data exchange between solutions.
If you don't like to study so much and to become a professor/researcher. Please don't take me in the wrong way, but you are just wasting your time.

I also wanted to do a master and PHD for the same reasons that you do. But for financial reasons I couldn't afford it at the time, I felt sad: I wanted to be "smarter" on paper than others. I've did what a loser would do: find a job.

I've found a job and since then, I've just looked in the academia a few times back, but never went back. I've looked back only because I've wanted to maybe do a bit of ML. Anyways, I think you need to find yourself there.

If you work a few years and don't like it, you can go back. I also think that you have a few complexes that could be better handled by a psychologist, such as, you think that getting a PhD would be a huge intellectual challenge, when you are about to finish your master... Yet, it isn't even hard, you just need to pump infinite hours into that and want to become a researcher/professor or find a job in ML/AI(nowadays, you don't even need that to find a job anymore).

I had a lot of growth on my career and all my friends that went to academia just talk to me about that choice with a lot of regret. I don't doubt that they know more than me as they had many years of study time, while I was working full time and building a career/family, but it isn't that important to me anymore. I would give it a go, maybe quit even your master and try to work.

Of course, it is all your own responsibility. Don't blame me for your choices, but make up your mind and take charge of your life. I did back then, and I'm happy Today to have done that, all that because I had a financial problem that didn't allow me to have that, I couldn't really make that choice and I quite liked the fact that I didn't have to choose. I was very insecure at the time and that changed a lot and I consider even silly the fears and thoughts I had back in the days. I wish that this helps you somehow. Also, if you then find out that you want to get that PhD, it is fine! The most important thing is that you find what is important for you.

Cheers
