I think part of the objection to 10x programmers is around expectations, self-assessment, and attitudes.

There are people out there who have difficulty working with others. Some of those people feel that this difficulty is because they're so FUCKING SMART and the others are morons who are beneath them. They're extremely difficult to work with in a team environment, but come across as completely confident about their own abilities.

These people are toxic to work with. They drag everyone else in the team down (part of the reason they are productive is that everyone else has to spend time and effort dealing with their bullshit).

Management should spot this and deal with it. But in a lot of situations the "10x" has managed to get into a position where they have a lot of information that the rest of the team doesn't have (deliberately, usually) and getting rid of them would be difficult. And some managers buy into the whole myth as well, and having a toxic "10x" on their team that they have to carefully manage is a point of pride, or something.

This archetype, the lone genius developer who is 10x everyone else, is extremely appealing to some people. Regardless of their actual ability, they start believing that they are this. And worse, behaving like this.

So while, yes, there are some programmers out there who are very productive, the majority of self-proclaimed "10x programmers" you're actually likely to meet are just socially unaware assholes with inflated egos.
> You're absolutely insane if you compare google engineers with the trump administration. Nobody thinks of google engineers like this.

whoosh. Re-read what I said to understand how I didn’t compare anyone to Trump. You never ask someone who is responsible for creating a whole process/team/product for honestly critical info about it. Unless they are willfully malicious (which I doubt Gayle is), they are certainly convinced they’ve been doing the right thing (otherwise they wouldn’t be doing it).

> working outside of a google-like company is like dealing with people at a community college...

Sorry, but whoever you talked to took you for a ride. Most Google engineers are writing glue code and glorified ETL processes. I used to work there, I left because it got way to big an deteriorated quickly and now work at a startup with several employees I personally know took 50% pay cuts by turning town Google offers.

> The google interview process is absolutely stellar at creating teams of raw intellectual power

Not from what I saw from 2012 going forward. It was filled with mediocre devs that wrote lots of bad code, including ones that would slip in quadratic runtime behavior. The only thing Google had going for it is that early on it did attract some brilliant people that believed in the mission and created the stellar infrastructure supporting the masses today.
Netlify does more than GitHub pages, it also builds, so with GitHub pages, you also need to use GitHub Actions. Netlify also has some other services they provide.
I studied Interaction Design in Sweden in 2008 and design thinking and IDEO was all the rage. It felt very superficial to me and just another way to indoctrinate students into believing business people really wanted to solve real, difficult problems, rather than just sell more stuff. I wrote a little about what I saw as the conflict between business and design here: https://keyvan.net/2011/07/interaction-design-serving-corpor... and https://keyvan.net/2010/03/interaction-design-in-the-corpora...
Rust takes a conservative approach here --- you can't use x if it might have been moved along some control-flow path leading up to the current point. C++ could do that too.

> Use after free (through references) is a standard problem in C++ through anything. But you can say post-move a value is dead, and use of existing references would be UB (sigh, but that isn't new).

OK, arguably aliased-use-after-move could be treated as an existing form of UB. Sanitizers and static checkers would still need to be updated, however.
Books aren't user-generated content – everything in a published book can be easily vetted.

Neither is TV, for the most part. You have guests on talk shows who you can't control what they say, but you are also specifically choosing those people, so placing the blame on the publisher (TV Network) in that case makes a fair amount of sense.

With an online forum where anyone can sign up and start posting, you don't have that.
Because the next step when you face this problem is doing a search-replace of the quotes to remove them. ASCII quotes are on your keyboard, so you can actually type the command to remove them.

Unicode quotes probably aren't, so it's extra annoying to remove them, and they're not even the same character for start and end so you have to do it twice.

The time spent for removal is then vastly higher than with ASCII quotes, which in the context of unwanted characters may well qualify as "horrid" imo.
> Wait, what? 2009-2013 Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook were moderating content.

But not censoring. You could pretty much say and do anything on those platforms except for illegal content.

> Forums, usergroups, mailing lists, blog comments, etc... have always been moderated for spam, trolling, abuse, and just bad actors in general.

Which is different from censoring.

> Even platforms like Gab still have moderation today.

Gab always had moderation.

Either people haven't used 2009-2013 twitter, reddit, facebook, etc or people are pushing some heavy revisionist history here.

Reddit, especially branded itself the "free speech platform" in that time period.

I'm okay with moderation, I'm against censorship. For example, I'm all for a sports subreddit/community limiting the content to sports. And I'm for the users saying anything they want about the sports topic, even if it offends people.

See the difference?

It's funny how every response to me was by people who intentionally confused moderation with censorship.

And locking the wikileaks account isn't moderation, it's censorship.
Yes. The A and B class Mercedes are like they're made by a different manufacturer compared to the S class or something like the Mercedes-AMG GT.
I have the best part of a decades experience with this. Until recently I was running 3 4K displays on my desktop.

The real issue is with DEs and not Linux per-se. Gnome handles 4K (Hi-DPI) better than most other DEs I've tried but it's still pretty horrid with Hi-DPI and non Hi-DPI displays mixed.

My rule of thumb has been to try keep all displays at the same resolution. For desktop that's easy, for laptop; buy a laptop that's 4K (not always cost/battery effective), or turn off its display when using external (loss of screen real estate) or change the external monitor to 1080p (not ideal, loss of resolution).
> The only difference is that Blockchain now beginning to look ready for real world applications having gone through its wild west days

Hold on for a moment, and name three. Because I honestly haven't seen a blockchain that isn't either a) scam, b) naive mistake, or c) an ecological disaster if ever scaled up (therefore unworkable).

AI, for all the hype and nonsense around it, isn't even approaching the blockchain levels of bullshit.
I phrase it this way:

It's a lot easier to understand, say, decorators in python than annotations in Java.

The other thing is that a lot of the dynamic languages are getting cool features to support static dynamism really well. Protocols and literal types being my two favorites in python, which allow statically-verifiable duck typing, and argument controlled return types respectively.

It's Google's job to make sure their customers (people using the search engine) have a good time. If they're getting scammed after clicking an ad, people will learn not to click ad links and/or migrate to a different search engine, which will hurt Google's business.

Trump may have some deep problems but even a broken clock tells the right time twice a day. It's about time the U.S. government took China to the mat on its abusive practices in the tech sphere.

There's major demand for CPU fabs right now due to a combination of cloud hardware needs and poor execution from Intel on 10nm. If Huawei doesn't get to sit at the table, TSMC'll take a hit temporarily but eventually find someone else to take up the dormant fab capacity. I don't agree with the people who say TSMC will be burnt to a crisp if it turns its back on Huawei; that would hurt all the other Chinese companies that do business with TSMC, and give the US a compelling reason to establish a military base in Taiwan.

The best answer to DJI would be US investment in a major quadcopter-based drone program done by a private company, potentially to police the southern border or some other big-ticket national project. DJI's real advantage is in its efficiency and dynamics, which is more a challenge of mechanical engineering and controls than a semiconductor issue.

EUV is expensive and there's a backlog of demand for that kind of machinery, but ASML has a lot of institutional knowledge and they also know exactly where all of their machines are bolted to the ground. Not exactly the easiest thing to reverse engineer. It appears that SMIC tried to buy an EUV machine and that was blocked, although ASML has not confirmed the identity of the company.

Chinese tech companies skirt IP law, steal trade secrets, and have the Chinese government backing them up. It's about time the U.S. government backed up American silicon companies.
private repo + netlify when ready then
In my estimation it is precisely the other way around. There are hardly any applications of blockchains that are not equally well solved by other methods, whereas computer vision alone has a huge number of applications.
The irony ... in order to solve for the stakeholder’s assumed problem statement, the advice was to avoid assumptions...all assumptions, I assume, except the assumptions of the report.

From the article

> They prototyped and tested solutions to municipal problems. Finally, in collaboration with the Blue Ribbon Committee, the IDEO team published a report. It aimed to address the problem—an absence of “competitiveness” for new business and talent—that Mayor Braddy had diagnosed.

And further down the article from the report itself:

> (“Instead of assuming,” for instance, “that the right answer to dealing with trees cut as a result of development is a policy to limit the amount of trees that can be cut, why not ask the question, ‘How can we maintain a desirable degree of shade and tree coverage as part of Gainesville’s overall design?’”)
MacBook Pros since at least late 2013 support 4k @ 60hz. That's a seven year old laptop. I've been using 4k displays with mine for years with no issues, both at native and scaled resolutions without taxing the cpu/gpu. I would highly recommend it. Your info might apply to other models but definitely not the last seven years of mbpros.
Hoffman has no incentive to find a way around costly billing practices, since it benefits his VC firm (Sweat Equity Ventures).

This kind of pricing, when implemented, is a clear case where the interests of the startup and the VC are misaligned. It's up to the founders to recognize that the "operational VC" model is a bad deal for themselves, and reject it accordingly.
Just to point it out

> if multiple instances write data at the same time there is a risk of data being overwritten and becoming inconsistent. Please ensure you fully understand what it takes to set up and run a cluster-aware file system before you attempt to use this feature
About 6 years ago I invested in a ML as a startup company as an angel. The proposition was that they had a very nice workflow tool to take data, scrub it, partion it, build models against it, view performance and deploy it through and api. At the time there was nothing else out there really that was as polished and understandable to a business person. Then, very rapidly, the field got democratized. People were firing up notebooks, tensor flow popped into existence and their edge eroded. They were pitching to teams who had just hired data scientists who of course didn't want to buy something that made their job look easier! The other reality, which ties to this article, is that whilst they had to do a lot of hand holding with clients so the service cost became high although this wasn't custom model development but more training on the platform so they eventually worked out a way to package it in the sale as they got established. The company in the end changed course. They built out the product to focus on a single vertical that was getting traction in finance. This was huge contentious change and they lost some people along the way - but - it ultimately saved them from being wiped out. In the end the sold out to a much larger player in that vertical who was had no AI strategy and we all made a decent if not mind blowing return on our investment. Lots of lessons learnt on the way and it was a fun ride overall.

It's always going to be boeings word. This is like a building permit - the applicant argues with drawings and technical arguments why their design meets the criteria (and quite commonly why their design is safe despite not meeting some specific criteria).

If you don't take a manufacturers word for something you can never get into any plane ever.
What changing software stacks? The S3 and CloudFront configuration options used here haven’t changed for years. I can’t think of an AWS deprecation that has ever happened that would be on the level of breaking this very common configuration.

There’s only one account here (an AWS one), and since the content is public anyway there also isn’t much in the way of configuration subtleties.

If you have a way to compromise a static S3/CloudFront site more easily than you would a Wordpress instance that hasn’t been updated in 6 months, I’d love to read that blog post.

Buzzword bingo has unfortunately become a buzzword itself it seems.
In my estimation it is precisely the other way around. There are hardly any applications of blockchains that are not equally well solved by other methods, whereas computer vision alone has a huge number of applications and “neural network” based solutions are now undoubtedly the best approach to a huge number of hard computer vision problems.

If your eye sight is good (no aides needed) it's a much more pleasant experience, the sharpness of coding at 4K, at a like-for-like scale.

Whytheluckystiff wrote some Ruby code that can only be described as good poetry (including at least one project used in production in some places, the Camping web framework) circa 2005. I'm sure some people write poetry-level code today (obviously the folks at shadertoy.com, but they're writing in a classical style, and I'm sure someone's writing code poetry that could not have been written before 2020).
This is the case when you get involved in any mid-refactor system or codebase. It has to evolve to it's destination and it always happens over time bit-by-bit. Quitting in the middle of a murder isn't likely to give you the trunk full of insurance money, nor the pinacoladas on the beach living happily ever after with the victim. These projects, once started are best seen through, else you end up in a worse position than you started.
This is good stuff, just tried it! looks very promising.
There will be a lot of experiments that won't work, but there will be some that do. They're going to be the foundation for something radical and new.

We're clearly entering a world where computers can make complicated, gut-feel decisions. This is an amazing new capability; with the fall of the best human Go players there are no longer any well-defined tasks that a human can outperform a computer in. If we can simulate a situation correctly then computers are now better than us.

It will be challenging for this new capability not to not reshape all our control systems over the next two or three decades.
> Reddit communities live and die by the strength of their moderation.

Hence why I wasn't against moderation. I'm against censorship. I'm all for limiting "communism" subreddit to the topic of communism ( moderation ). However, I'm against the communism subreddit censoring people saying nasty things about stalin or what have you ( censorship ).

Like how politics, atheism and other popular subreddits used to be open platforms for people to express how they truly feel. Until the shift happened and they turned into censored hellholes.

> All of these systems put work into blocking abusive participants site-wide (including real humans who are very carefully and intentionally spewing vitriol) and are increasingly automatically blocking them.

No. All of these systems put into censoring people they disagree with. If truly "spewing vitriol" was the reason, then politics, worldnews, twoxchromosome, atheism and every major sub would be banned.

As long as the "vitriol" was pertinent to the topic, it should be allowed. After all, that's the point of the voting system right? If you don't like it, vote it down.

The 2009-2013 social media was great because everyone got to spew their vitriol so it evened things out. Now the vitriol is so concentrated that you have shitholes like politics and the_donald. Funnily enough, one is quarantined and the other isn't.

Moderation is okay. Censorship isn't.

It's fine. This is just stupidity dressed as on-purpose bad UX. Yes, I consider whoever makes that decision ("Yeah, we should totally make it not do what the user wanted it to do!") utterly stupid, and a sad presence in the gene pool.

There are file management apps, graphic design apps (figma), etc., that use both the clipboard and the <c-c> / <c-p> binds to work. Neither blocking the bind of <c-c> events, nor of the clipboard are going to happen.

We all have different needs and different pains. Sure, around here, we care about user experience, privacy, performance and optimizations, but let's not forget that we're in a bubble. The regular less-powered users are just as important as us, and their needs may outweight ours.

I wish there was truly open browser that was not crap, there isn't. I wish better privacy controls were available out-of-the box. I wish there could be a feature matrix backed by a default profile so that I can only give access to the clipboard / other APIs manually, but with a prompt on access attempt. I wish so much.

If I don't like my job runner, or my window manager, or even my password manager, I can go ahead and try with at least moderate success to make my own. Browsers are made by large groups of competent (most of them) polyglots, that work countless hours, willing to drill through the shit that has accumulated over the years into what we call the web. I don't have what's required to make my own browser.

Injury rate / accident rate is a good proxy for deaths, so you don’t need as much data as 1.2 in 100M would imply.

Also, given humans drive a lot, even with those astronomical odds, if you drove 15k a year for 60 years, you’d have an almost 1% chance of dying in an auto accident.
As you’re anti-rewrite, do you have concerns that a years development time won’t be able to cover 20+ years of development work? I think it was Coding Horror that said this is the greatest fallacy with rewrites - decades of invisible features and bug fixes are suddenly forgotten. I’ve not been involved with a rewrite so I can’t really speak from experience but that seemed to make sense.
they’ll flash the “unadapted” version depending on what component is rendered first

A normal CSS file is render blocking so the DOM content won't be displayed until the browser has downloaded it, parsed it, and knows what to display. If you move your main layout styles out of the component (presumably this is using styled components or similar?) and in to a CSS file that's defined as a <link> in the header of the page then that problem will go away (or a <style> tag in the header if you're worried about the additional fetch). This is how browsers have been designed to work.
Now you just need to configure a Lambda to take care of cache invalidation on CloudFront, based on s3:PutObject events. CloudFront also supports headers like "cache-control: public, max-age=3600, s-maxage=86400", so you can have quite aggressive caching on CloudFront where you can just invalidate it on demand anyway.

Personally I just listen for any event and invalidate all objects, since that's way cheaper than issuing an invalidation request for each object, but performance wise that might not be the best option.
