It's true somewhat though, but it's a problem is not easy to solve for Python.

The problem is that Python supports C extensions, and for example the psycopg2 package has an extra dependency on a libpq which it expects to have installed on the system i.e. if you were using a docker you would do something like yum install postgresql-devel otherwise it will fail. Python won't install it for you and it doesn't even have a way to relay (except for error message) that such package is needed.

Many people actually get stuck with this and won't know what to do, but quick google show that package is needed they install and everything works. Nix is functional and doesn't have state so you can't just invoke nix-env -i postgresql and now everything will start to work, that behavior would actually ruin reproducibility. Nix instead expects that the C dependency is also provided otherwise it will refuse the build.

That's what OP meant where he said Nix exposes weak build systems.

Anyway, there was significant progress in making things better in python, it is still not awesome, but it is very close. Actually the biggest pain point right now is to setup a build environment that's convenient to use.

I recently created a template that shows how to do it: https://github.com/takeda/example_python_project

It uses pip2nix and it can automatically figure out all python dependencies, the packages like psycopg2 need an additional entry like this: https://github.com/takeda/example_python_project/blob/master... because PyPI packages don't specify any system dependencies.

> If you find a partner who fetishises you just for your height you really haven't gained anything, it's still just as hard to find actual love.

Truly... it's similar to how a dashingly handsome hollywood heartthrob has no real advantages over somebody who looks like Quasimodo with smallpox.

The former has to wonder if their beautiful successful wife decided to have the family he always wanted with him because she loves them or if they only did it because he's a sexual object.

Whereas the latter may face personal and professional consequences for making the exact same advances the former would be rewarded for and thus is prone to self-isolation for fear of societal reprimand. He gets to live in a wonderful world of woke cynicism.

This was a sad article that hit pretty deep. I think those kind of stories are even more terrifying for us, programmers, because we can normally lose everything but as long as we have our mind intact we can earn our living and start from zero anytime.

For me the saddest thing in life is the loss of potential, when someone could have done so much more, actually wanted to do more and was even trying to do more, but then something tragic happens.

They've been slow on "poaching" experienced folks as well. One person I know was offered a king's ransom to switch to Google, refused a "please stay" premium from the home company, and it still took half a year to walk through the door.
The article mentioned KeyDB is multithreaded fork of Redis. It multithreads several aspects including placing the event loop on multiple threads, with network IO, and query parsing done concurrently.

I was one of the "special" ones who didn't make it past Google's final hiring committee review (although I now suspect this is a lot more common than they let on). And that happened after the recruiter had already called to check my references, matched me with a team, given me a verbal offer and told me it was "basically" final. The entire process took over 3 months. It has been years but I'm still annoyed by how they wasted my time.
That's the cost of full reproducibility though. If Nix would not expect the postgresql package listed in dependencies and instead relied on what's currently installed on your system we would get to the starting point. Where something works on one person's computer but doesn't on another.

Yes it is harder, but if you incorporate nix definitions in your source code (you need to pin nixpkgs though) then everyone will get exact same versions of the packages and your code works on everyone's computer.

They've got about 45% of US households already. I'm not sure how much growth is left for them in the US. I guess analysts are banking on international growth, but I'm skeptical. I wouldn't short Netflix here, but I wouldn't buy them, either. I definitely don't see them as a stronger company than Disney.

Disney's got some serious problems in the short term. But with all of their assets and brands, and their new streaming service in overdrive, I simply can't see how Netflix is worth more as a company.

Right. Imagine being watched by humans with no way to hide in the tank. No matter where you go, someone can observe you and you won't even know. They will alter your behaviour by placing new products inside the tank every so and then. Put new shiny stones, hanging weed etc to coax you to do something they want. You may not get a big tank because your owner might not be able to afford the bigger tank as price of them keep increasing. Pretty isolating.

It's good that you are not a fish but a human.
When you go on bypass(needed if the heart is stopped to replace a valve) air emboli (very small air bubbles) go into the brain and can get lodged in capillaries cutting of blood flow. Personality changes are documented to occur after bypass and correlate with areas of the frontal cortex that die. Typically though this kind of injury is not progressive.

I actually do think he 100% believes everything he says. If you read the transcript from the trial, it was just his lawyer trying to list that as one of many defenses. "It's just entertainment, it's not real", basically. Just a lawyer doing what they have to do for the sake of their client; kind of like how there were all those articles about Elon Musk saying some crazy thing in his defamation trial, when it was just his lawyers using a standard defense. He's never himself said what he's saying isn't real or isn't what he truly believes.

If you listen to Jones speak for hours (which may or may not be recommended, depending on what you're looking for), I think that sort of thing is hard to fake. The sad thing is probably millions of people organically believe the sorts of things he believes, including people who don't watch him. They read the same sources, they're part of the same circles, they have a rigid preconceived world view that's very different from everyone else's.

This is gender stereotyping, not far off from the Google memo.
Elon tweeted that he was "considering taking Tesla private". It clearly was not a done deal. Evaluations were made based on speculation that Elon would follow through. He obviously did not. The stock value temporarily spiked and a lot of investors looking to profit off the ordeal ended up making bad investments and lost big. At the end of the day, the stock market is akin to gambling and sometimes you loose.

Elon's actions were irresponsible at best, but I think suing him sets a bad precedent. There doesn't seem to be any evidence of insider trading. It seems to me like some investors are just mad that they lost money because they put too much stock in Elon's twitter feed.

But these 24hr shifts seems to be an US thing. In my country doctors would have a more relaxed schedule, in fact you will get a more pressing schedule if you are in tech.. but generally engineers start out with better salaries than doctors here, though slowly the doctors then catch up and retire with better salaries than engineers..

It makes sense that size is the most talked point in the HN crowd. But I think the headlining feature for most people would be the price.

We are in a strange time when software engineer salaries can even be comparable to those of doctors. Rest assured that sooner or later tech workers will be middle-class schlubs like pretty much every other type of engineer.

The other question that is rarely asked, is why isn't much more of the training and services restricted to physicians expanded to other professionals? That is, it's not just "why aren't there more physicians?" but also "why do we need a physician for X?"

There are lots of provider types who could easily expand their scope of practice with additional training, and who are currently prepared to do so. The AMA lobbies heavily against any attempts to do so all the time, every year. Pharmacists, PAs, dentists, optometrists, psychologists, nurses, ... the list goes on and on. Every year they lobby heavily to just have the opportunity to offer more services, and more services independently, the AMA fights back against it in lobbying, and politicians respond to it.

The crisis in some ways highlights how absurd this is. Right now I know of many med schools whose in-class training is about 1.5 years, and some are trying to make that 1 year. The rest is studying for licensing exams and clerkships. Now many of these schools are graduating them early to help with the pandemic.

Compare that with PAs, who often are required to have substantial medical clinical experience before starting their programs. Then they do... 1.5 years of coursework and about .5 years of clerkships before going on and then... practicing under the supervision of an MD. So, then, what's the difference between a new MD and a PA with an extra 1.5-2 years of supervised experience, especially given that extra 1.5-2 years of experience is probably more independent than what the med student gets?

The current model is absurd, and at some level I have no sympathy for complaints that hospitals are understaffed right now. This is solely the fault of the AMA and their lobbies at some level. Many services could be offloaded onto other providers, who could easily expand the scope of what they offer, especially in the middle of a public health crisis per se. There could also be a much greater diversity of training routes than undergrad -> MD -> specialty (just for example, undergrad -> specialty doctoral/professional degree -> expanded training).

I read the whole article and it's 2/3rds filler — including how many square meters the house had and tv brands they used. It's just bad writing.
Depends on what year you started really. The original DVD burner cost $15k and the blank discs were $50 each but only held 3.95GB of data. The 2nd gen burner dropped to $5k and <$10 discs. The 3rd gen burners came out with the General media. These burners were less than $200 and blank media holding the full 4.95GB of data dropped to less than <$1. General media came with the +R/-R battles, and neither of these formats were compatible with a large portion of existing DVD players.

The first software was painful running under NT 4.0. With specialty discs with a large number of individual assets, it was easy to create so many files in a single folder that the system would slow to a crawl, and eventually crash during the muxing stage. You'd start it up again and watch it fly by the files it had already muxed, and then slow down when it got to the new files. It was a glorious day when Win2k comes out, and the same type of project no longer crashes like it did under NT. WinXP was like a gift from heaven. Then, you'd get some challenging programming requests like make a randomized game attempting to not repeat an item until all items have been displayed once. You get it programmed and begin testing in the plethora of consumer DVD players on the market. You then discover that some of the lower cost players don't acutally have the ability to select a random number. Instead, they have a preset list of random numbers starts over every time the player is restarted making it impossible to play the game as requested. You think browser compatibility is a pain, the DVD player/media combinations were insane.

Then there was MPEG-2 encoding. Early days required specialty hardware boards in your computer to do real-time encoding. These were in the $20k-$50k systems. High end encoders would allow for 2-pass encoding, but that meant playing the VTR for the first pass, rewinding the tape, and then doing the second pass in real-time. A 2 hour movie would take over 4 hours to encode. Then, if there was a problem with the encode (bitrate/buffer spikes/underflows), you'd have to figure out how to solve it and do the encode a second time. If you had the fancy encoder, you could do segment based encodes so you didn't need the full 4 hours. Mid-2000s, software encoding became viable. Now, you could run 2-pass encodes faster than real-time.

Then there were the oddities to deal with like timing was based on a 27MHz clock, so when the software told you there was a problem at time 59265000000, it actually meant 6mins 35secs.

No, I'm not scarred by the experience ;-)

Edit: I didn't actually answer the question. The role was to take the video/stills/subtitle assets and link them together. Every button on a menu screen had to be programmed to go to a specific spot on the disc. The video/audio/subtitles had to be combined to play together, then when finished told where to go, or stop, or loop, etc. Menu elements had to be placed in the correct section of the disc to that the menu/title buttons on the remote behaved correctly. DVDs had a very defined structure. VTS_01.vob VTS_02.vob makes me shudder when I seem them now.

I'm not sure you are as familiar with the online marketplaces in Europe as you claim to be. Amazon set up separate national operations in the EU due to social, regulatory and tax reasons. Also digital e-commerce retailers are prevalent in all EU countries. Amazon is only one of many players.

In fact, logistics over here is much better developed than the US. Most items can be next day delivered here in the UK for a low standard charge. Amazon has to offer same-day deliveries to the UK at a much higher level than the US in order to compete and maintain its competitive advantage.
Medicine is the single most reliable path to the upper-middle class in America. Sure the other things you described are possible but honestly unlikely unless you have an Ivy League undergrad.
And nobody forced investors to buy overpriced Tesla stocks.

I'm not going to bat for Elon here. I just think it sets a pretty bad precedent for investors to be able to sue a person when they make bad investments based on that person's social media ramblings.

If Elon or someone connected to him profited off the ordeal, then there might be something here. I haven't seen anything to indicate that, though.
