> Alcohol should be more strictly controlled than marijuana because it has greater potential for harm.

It's true and bucks the mainstream, but it's highly unpopular and will likely annoy the interviewer if they like to drink. However, it's not that heretical since it's backed by sound research, it's just unpopular and potentially in violation of the 21st amendment.

Whether something is heretical depends on the interviewer, and whether a heretical opinion will impact your chances of being hired also depends on the interviewer. That seems unfair and puts the candidate in an uncomfortable position.

This is nonsense, based on ignorance/misunderstanding blown out of proportion, compounded by a popular meme that's not actually applicable. But don't take my word for it, take the word of Corey Quinn, an AWS consultant who (I believe, maybe someone knows an earlier example) originally popularized the joke that Google might someday shut down GCP, and whose current dominant refrain is that Kubernetes will eventually fail and be abandoned.[0]

A lot of the 3D games I played back then used a HUD to fill a lot of the screen.

Another World was different in that it was carefully made to not blit too many polygon scanlines over the background. In that way, it had more in common with the Sierra/Lucasarts adventure games of the day.

In terms of gameplay, Flashback or Prince of Persia are probably the most similar.

But nothing really matches the art style other than 2016's Hyperlight Drifter, which is excellent.

Although to be fair, I played these games on an XT with monochrome Hercules CGA emulation at 10 fps, so I don't know what they were supposed to run like on a computer modern enough to have EGA or VGA.

Weirdly, Return of the Obra Dinn captures that 3D CGA emulation motif in a way I never expected to see.

Reposting as it is on point.

“ Proximity, unplanned encounters and the privacy to confide with someone have been identified as key factors in making friends as an adult.[cite]”

Factors that make it difficult for Americans to make friends as they age:

1. Isolation driven by car culture.

2. Un-walkable communities outside cities.

3. Media driven self absorption vitiating real world interaction.

4. Political and social siloing as a result of #3.

“Bowling Alone” by Putnam was prescient by did not offer any realistic solutions.
Choosing technologies with higher long-term maintainability (support, operations, ongoing development) potential may be worth it in absence of strong software development culture and extensive engineering resources—which is often the case with customers of small consulting businesses like mine.

This does not mean eschewing new technologies, necessarily. Still, it is somewhat like investing in stocks: there may be signs allowing one to tell whether a new trend or stack is likely to go out of fashion soon (which may lead to increased maintenance costs), but it is often safe to assume that the older the tech, the longer it will remain in active use and easy to hire for, making it a sensible recommendation.

Goes without saying that it’s not the only metric, but I find it important, and not applying it at all a violation of customer’s trust.

Software-driven companies with stronger culture (including but not limited to FAANG), on the other hand, have legitimate reasons and resources required to prefer the riskier on average newer stacks—not coincidentally, their teams are frequently at the forefront of developing such tech.
To give a quick comparison with Julia:

1. Native Data types - this is one of the things that Julia was designed to do very well. That is, native-like-treatment for all data without needing to have a C-family underbelly like Python does for its high performance code.

2. Non-Standard Evaluation - Julia has Metaprogramming[1] and Symbols[2] which provide similar ideas in a different way. It uses abstract syntax trees and is very lisp-like in that way if you wanted to get into writing Macros and such.

3. Package Management - Julia has a best-in-class built in package management system with versioning. Julia also has first-class support for documentation, so its very easy for developers to write relevant documentation. As an R user before RStudio, package management was a pain but RStudio hides the manual work that used to be searching for, downloading, and unpacking packages. Packages usually work really well together, usually automatically so you can often get really cool results[3] where other languages would require a lot of coordination (like Tidyverse).

4. Function paradigm - Julia is multi-paradigm and is conducive to functional, imperative, object-oriented, among others.

I'm a big Julia fan, after having gone R -> Python -> Julia. Not to make this totally in favor, I still like R for plotting because it's more mature. RStudio also is very nice for dynamically interacting with datasets, but Juno comes pretty close there too.

Switched to Fastmail last year and I'm extremely happy with it. Best web interface and I can use the desktop clients I like, Google is actively working against this.

Another great thing is I'm no longer worried of suddenly losing access to my mail account, because an algorithm deems me not worthy for using a "wrong" browser, setting etc. and we all know that you can't talk to real people at Google so the account will be lost forever.
First of all, your original post claimed that the official documentation is good. I posted an example of where the official docs are dumb and wrong. You posted a random blog article and a stack overflow answer as a rebuttal. Just so we're clear, you agree that the official documentation is dumb, wrong, and incomplete?

Second, the "seems to be correct" article you linked is what we did. It's a sensible, logical solution to the problem. Which is why we wrote it that way to begin with. Hell, we might have copied it directly from that SO answer.

It doesn't work. It deadlocks. You call out to the UI thread dispatcher, lock the object, then go back to doing stuff on a background thread. Some time later, the UI thread is updating the UI, and it tries to update your element, and it tries to lock on the lock object. (it can't, because it's already locked) Some time later, the background task is done. It schedules a task on the UI thread to unlock the object. There's a problem though: the UI thread is locked on a mutex. A single hardware thread cannot wait on both a mutex and the task queue at the same time. Deadlock.

Just because it's the highest voted answer on SO doesn't mean that it isn't completely wrong.

The second highest voted answer states that what the questioner is asking for is impossible. This answer is the correct one. Our least bad solution to this problem is to update a buffer owned by the background thread, and then use the UI thread to copy pixels from the background thread's buffer to the UI thread's buffer. Lock, copy the buffer, unlock, without ever relinquishing control of the UI thread. This solution is not ideal from a performance standpoint, but at least it doesn't deadlock.

C#/.NET's async is fine if you're not doing anything more complicated than querying a database or paying data around on a socket. It falls down really hard if you start tickling its underbelly.
Instead of IBM, just use a Bloomberg terminal. It is as secure if not much more than all those security checklist-ticking healthcare software. For good or for bad, a lot more money is on the line for Bloomberg than e.g. a personal data breach in healthcare.

It's entirely possible, and I certainly hope so. But it hasn't happened yet. The history so far suggests that better technology will generally be ignored unless there's a clear way to make money from it now, which tends to favor incremental improvements and makes early mistakes impossible to ever correct.

yea, I think Go's tooling has started facing the challenge of having an existing base to support..

I remember using vim-go few years back, and I was very impressed of how much it "just works", it really turned my vim into a Go-IDE with very little effort.

I had to come back to go recently after not using it for quite a while, and a lot of the magic seems to have faded somehow. Ran into a number of issues that I had to find workarounds for.
I think it's by design, but I believe the main intent was just to make it a desirable place to work.

For most people, that meant not being worked at 100% until they burn out. It also meant giving people latitude to transfer teams, take on side projects, and find work that resonated with them. That works for a lot of people, but others work better with more pressure or more structure.

UX is one of the most abused terms. So I'm not surprised he's mistaking what it really means.

So many big firms hire mediocre "designers" out of college and they wireframe whatever the project managers tell them to and they do what they are told.

I better term is just "product designer" but I like UX designer as the name encompasses it perfectly... your job is to know and understand the users experience inside and out, and make it as ideal as possible.

When done right, just like programmers who push back on stupid features because they often have a better grasp of what "good software" compared to the average "business person". Another bad group is the non-startup people who come from older, bigger IT megacorps and run product development, which is a disaster waiting to happen but I've heard of many examples of this.

I should also note I'm only talking from my experience working with startups and SMBs. I personally don't know much about operating design within a giant company.

For everyone who doesn’t know, you’re getting shafted at that medium size startup/company. Most of these FAANG engineers are not geniuses, they just studied for the interviews

If this is for real, _everyone_ I know is getting completely screwed.

I have a hard time believing any of these numbers. If I earned any of these amounts for 2-3 years, I could live off the interest for the rest of my life.
> This is the problem -- who determines how much these things are worth?

There should be a much more active market in land (land would change hands much more frequently because it doesn't make sense to hold as an investment), which then makes it easy to assess land value.

> And if you risk other people pricing you out of property you currently hold a lease for (especially because they think the value is going up because of your investments in it) I can't imagine that would encourage any development at all.

You're discouraged from building more than you need on land you can barely afford, and in an area that's rapidly changing you're encouraged to build things that you can either easily move, or sell on to future buyer of the land. The intent isn't to encourage development for development's sake, and the result might be less development in areas that are rapidly changing.

??? I thought that middle age was where you still had the energy and the brainpower, but also had a bunch of hard-earned experience to bring it all to the highest level.

Oh, wait. I forgot. You slacked off when you were in your 20's and 30's so you don't. Never mind.
If you over-farm a piece of land, it loses fertility, until it becomes un-arable.

If LVT is implemented, then there would be incentive to over-extract from the land anything that is valuable and can be avoided from taxation (such as fertility, or minerals, or anything else that rises from the land).

I dont think this can be sustainable - because without clear, exclusive ownership that lasts indefinitely, why would anyone value the land at all?
Ai dungeon creator here. Another option is if you can detect what region the colab notebook is in and have a multi region bucket for each international area you could download from the right region and it may be quite cheap. Our costs were primarily from US GCS buckets downloading to colab servers that were apparently running in Asia and Europe.
There is not necessarily a catch. Pay is not based on cost of living -- it's set by market rates, and the market rate for software engineers in these areas who can do the jobs required at these companies is high. All these companies operate at an immense scale where an engineer, through what is often a simple change, can add significant value to the company.

So, yes. For now, these companies are giving college grads enough money to retire by 35 (assuming the college grads are halfway financially savvy).

If all those were actually the advantages of established technologies, you would have a point. But anything that does something useful is inherently complex. To someone who's been programming for 25 years, sure, sed/Perl/Makefiles are straightforward and well-established. But to everyone else, to build or modify them, first you have to go back and learn Perl and sed, which are both riddled with layers of historical baggage, gotchas, and divergent dialects.

You can't actually get all of those things: speed, team size, low defect rate, high performance, high reliability, simplicity, as they are at odds with each other. Generally, the rule is "good, cheap, fast: pick two."
Prescribed burns reduce the amount of fuel available for wildfires, so logically the fires will be less severe if they are taken care of. It's an essential, if not the most essential part of wildfire prevention.
An Eruv isn’t really a loophole. The rule is that you are allowed to carry indoors, or in a walled city. In ancient times the walls of the city basically denoted the extent of the community. Cities aren’t walled anymore for practical reasons, but the principle that you ought to be able to carry within the community is still valid. Instead of getting rid of it, rabbis determined the smallest possible wall that still counts, and that is constructed in order to allow carrying. It’s purpose isn’t to undermine the spirit of the rule, but allow it to continue even as the world changed.

The TV hack is basically an urban legend. I’ve never met anyone who actually uses it, and it definitely violates several rules.

There has been an influx of information. And it applies to books as well. There are tons of books written by ever growing breed of aspiring writers. Most of the recent books tend to be full of

> fluff, anecdotes, stories, jokes, and trivialities.

The amount of insights in each book have grown less and less.

That said, books are still the best source of information. The problem is - with ever growing list of recommendations it is easy to get overwhelmed with your to-read lists.

> I have thousands of non-fiction (mostly self-improvement) books in my reading list on GoodReads, but almost never bother to read any.

I was in your position too. Then I read Straight Line Leadership (one of the few books which is really short and to the point) (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11556152-straight-line-l...)

One of big takeaways from the book was - Knowledge acquired and not used puts you in the same category as an uneducated person. Learn stuff and then use it.

Since then I have worked towards identifying what I really want in life and then reading stuff geared towards it.

For example, after reading tons of recommendations on HN about NVC, I tried the audio recording from YT. I was half way there I got bored and gave up.

I thought it over and found that NVC didn't align with what I wanted "now" in my life. I might acquire skill but never use it. And I will end up forgetting most of it with time. So I have put in on hold and drawn up a plan on how and when I will need NVC. Currently I plan to get to NVC in the 2nd quarter of this year and doggedly pursue to applying in my life.
But if privacy against state actors is a concern, I would recommend to just encrypt your e-mails, then Fastmail would be as good as any of the other services, but with the added merit of being in service for 20 years, so it will not close down tomorrow, you never know with any of the others.

> There are a lot of theoretical challenges with Georgism, and combined with the impossibility of stripping all existing landowners of their property, it's all just a theoretical exercise.

While the specific auction mechanism and expropriation of all land is obviously fantasy, substantiatively the same effect can be obtained with property taxes assessed based only on the value of the underlying land and updated frequently (land value tax), with the added benefit of avoiding the distortions of worrying that a lease will expire and someone will outbid you to seize the value of the capital you have invested in improving the property.
