I pretty much agree with everything you are saying and I do think a lot of confusion comes from conflating the two goals together. I think I was speaking more from personal experience that taking on goals that are more in my own control leaves me feeling more fulfilled. I also tend to get better results that way because I focus on the process.
Just the topic you are looking for. I was looking through some resources on design patterns because it started to dawn on me just how paramount a good design pattern is for the success of an application. Hope you find them useful!

One is related to an application layer's design pattern. Another is related to architectural design pattern.

My favorite is when they refuse to even deliver the audio challenge. Surely that’s a violation of some law (ADA?) if it happens on certain websites.
I know some people at work use it, but I haven’t gotten around to trying it. What’s the advantage over using ale to compose gopls or python-language-server? Is it the fancy windows? :)

I took a cursory look at their repo. I might be understanding this incorrectly, but it looks like you have to run node as a sidecar to use it? Isn’t that really intensive vs ALE? I figure if I wanted to run V8, one might as well use VSC, which after all is an electron app. :)
Having used the iPad with a mouse and now a trackpad for a while, I've got to say I don't like the mouse cursor turning into the button. It feels like the cursor gets "trapped" in the button, and often I can lose track of which button has focus since the hint can be rather subtle on some buttons.

Mostly, I just want a normal mouse cursor.

Of course, Apple isn't designing for a user like me, though, I'm really not sure what user they've designed this mouse cursor for.

sshfs is god awful slow for heavy local editor use. I don't understand what vscode provides other than an editor when all those capabilities are something that already exists when working directly on a remote machine, either.

I am asking that vscode be made compatible with older, established builds of glibc; or that the server component be open source so it's potentially possible to get it to work.

There is not one clear cut answer on this. It depends on what your company values, i.e. cost vs. agility. If you are using the cloud for what it was meant for availability, scalability, elasticity--and those are the things that your org values--its the right fit for you. If on the other hand you value cost then it clearly isn't the right fit.

One other point I'll make, the true value of cloud isn't in IaaS, renting VMs from anyone is relatively expensive compared to the costs of buying a server and maintaining it yourself for a number of years. The true value of the cloud is when can architect your solution to utilize the various services the cloud providers offer, RDS/DynamoDB, CDN, Lambda, API Gateway, etc. so that you can scale quickly when you need to.
Hey, this is cool, I'm looking to switch from a proprietary accounting app to something open-source.

It being open-source is important mainly because accounting apps UX usually sucks for some specific types of data entry and I want to be able to fix that for my use cases to get the annoying job done faster and get back to programming.

I immediately hit some dealbreakers with Frappe though (and filed them as issues, hopefully they are useful), most importantly that I cannot figure out how to delete General Ledger entries (if it is possible at all), see https://github.com/frappe/books/issues/129.

In terms of product feedback, I also recommend that you add a "spreadsheet mode" in which you can quickly and immediately edit most of the ledger data in one view, (without having to open popups and so on), with effective search-and-replace. That is a key accounting tool feature to get things done fast. For example, I currently use Banana (https://www.banana.ch/en/features) which is spreadsheet-based and pretty effective for this task (but could still be a lot better).
I’ve been studying like a fiend to get AWS certs and thoroughly understand the cloud value proposition, especially for ephemeral workloads and compliance needs. I’m all for cloud solutions that make sense and love when serverless/usage-only systems can’t be deployed. That said, I recently started work on a friend’s system that he has had running in colo for a long time. It’s absolutely insane how long his systems have been up. There are processes that have been alive since 2015, with some hosts having uptime linger than that. He’s got a nice HA configuration but hasn’t had any incidents that have triggered failover. He recently built a rack for his home with 384gb ram and gobs of cpu across 3 nodes, with rack, nice switch and UPS for just shy of $2500 ( he is quite the bargain hunter... ). I did some quick math and found a similarly equipped cluster (of just VMs, not dedicated hosts) has a 1.1 month break-even with on-demand costs, no bandwidth considered. Sure, maybe a 1 year reservation could make it a 2-3 month break even instead, but why? Those machines can easily give him 3-5 years of performance without paying another dime.

If you can feasibly run workloads onpremise or colo and have a warm failover to AWS you could probably have the best of all worlds.
I fail to see the issue.
Talent is too vague a concept to be useful.
I think it's worth noting that "natural scrolling" was only a thing once iPhones and iPads came out. The reasoning was that we were already in a cognitive dissonance when switching between touch interfaces and mouse interfaces. As more and more of the interaction with Apple became touch (or touchpad -- the Magic Trackpad came out around the same time), the original direction of scrolling stopping making sense. When you aren't moving an object with your fingers, it matters less which direction you move. When you start directly interacting with objects, the "natural" scrolling direction makes more sense.

That said, it took me a few years before I ended up switching. Unchecking the scroll direction checkbox was the first thing I used to do on a Mac. Now, I'm quite happy with the natural direction.

Here's example press from the time:

This is really amazing, I never thought that there are people who would accept wrong food in a resturant. Also finding it kind of unbelievable that there are so many people who accept cold food. Is it because right now a lot of us are feeling bad for resturants or is it normal behavior for some people?

If you are in a resturant with friends and get a wrong food, would you tell your friends? I am wondering because I have never seen anyone stay quite if their food order was wrong. Just wondering if it may have happened among my group of friends, and they quitely ate their food.

If Amazon ships you a wrong product, would you keep that instead of what you had ordered?

I think that I understand your point about bidirectional teledildonics. Or at least, here's my projection ;)

OK, so in sex, we do and are done to. Initially the doing is all consciously intentional. But at some point, we and our partners go into automatic mode. And then stuff just happens. That was the whole point of good sex, for me.

Masturbating each other is cool. But it isn't really sex. So arguably teledildonics won't really be sex until it's bidirectional .

There's not enough space. The iPhone 7 Taptic Engine (the only one I could find dimensions for on short notice) was .4 inches on it's smallest dimension. The new Magic Keyboard is .25 inches thick. I don't think it's worth doubling the thickness of the keyboard portion for the improvement the haptic version might give, it already takes the super thin iPad and basically doubles both it's thickness and weight.

And at some point, companies are allowed to make their own decisions about how they want to instrument and monetize their products. This general complaint about not liking a component of someone else's software doesn't resonate with me at all. Not that you're wrong, but we just have different values.

I sometimes will load a website that uses React when really it's just a static content site. It just gets tiring, and doesn't add to the conversation, when every discussion about an article that could be HTML devolves into that. I get that other people feel that way, and in many ways I share their values... But it becomes its own sideshow and hijacks the otherwise interesting conversations, without adding anything new.

Yes, realizing this was a key breakthrough for me.
It sounds like you've got a good setup going with colo, but just as a way of illustrating some of the small providers lower bandwidth costs:

DigitalOcean gives 3TB bandwidth on a $15 2CPU/2GBMEM/60GBSSD instance. If you ran 1350 of them it'd cost you ~$20k/month and get you your 4PB egress within bandwidth allowance.

>Eilenberg and Lane introduced functors (in the sense more or less used by Haskell) in the 40s.

Yes.

>This is not correct anymore - Fω is insufficient to describe GADTs. You need coercions and equality constraints as well.

Of course, OCaml has GADTs these days. I suppose neither of them are really Fω anymore, then.

>It's also approximately as useful a claim as "the languages are equally powerful because they're both Turing complete".

Agree to disagree. I think when discussing how powerful a language is, a rigorous notion like Turing completeness or position on the lambda cube is still significant, even if it's not the most immediately visible.

>I'm referring to practicability, not theoretical possibility (and I've clarified as much several times now).

Fair enough, I'll chalk this up to a misunderstanding.
Disagree. If I couldn't afford to live in a safe neighborhood and was always worried about my kid getting shot on the way home from school I would be miserable and stressed out.

Moving to an area with a lower violent crime rate would objectively make me happier.

If I was wealthy enough I could simply not work, and spend my days hanging out with my daughter and spouse. That would objectively make me happier.
Well at least they are upfront about their bias...and I must tell you, as an academic, I'm SHOCKED, SHOCKED I tell you to find ugly code in a research paper. And from my prior experience working as a defense contractor, I'm SHOCKED SHOCKED I tell you to that its possible for governments to possibly use messy code for decisions making. But what I'm most shocked by is that a software engineer thinks them not understanding a model from another field is a valid critique of it (so shocked I laughed).

If you are curious about the reliability of this particular source you can start at the end and read backwards:

"On a personal level, I’d go further and suggest that all academic epidemiology be defunded. This sort of work is best done by the insurance sector. Insurers employ modellers and data scientists, but also employ managers whose job is to decide whether a model is accurate enough for real world usage and professional software engineers to ensure model software is properly tested, understandable and so on. Academic efforts don’t have these people, and the results speak for themselves."

Sue may be a great programmer but she regularly steps out of commenting on the code to comment on the model...which is like the guy who designed the tractor wheels telling the farmer what to plant. While readability of code may be nice, not a single comment she makes actually disputes the findings of the model. Some things in nature are actually stochastic (I'm sorry...RANDOM ::clutches pearls::). If you think the entire world is deterministic great...show me the computing power and societal knowledge that can account for those variables. And if your solution to global health is capitalism, look at the gates foundation, if you wanna look at what other approaches have gotten us, look at the Carter Center and Jonas Salk. Epidemiologists didn't build the ObamaCare website...

In the past 100 years, epidemiology has:

* Brought us a world where infectitious diseases are no longer the SINGLE LARGEST CAUSE OF DEATH to the human species

* Made workplaces safer, and the food chain safer

* Reduced the maternal death rate by 90%

* Eliminated small pox entirely and eliminated multiple other diseases practically

I don't know Sue, but I'm team Salk not team Sue here...what a loon.

The Bitcoin whitepaper. It's the American constitution of the internet.
This is an incredibly poor take. It's well known that academic software doesn't follow great software engineering practices. The model is an incredibly complex piece of software that attempts to model stochastic behaviour. That it isn't fully deterministic (with a fixed random seed) doesn't make thee research invalid and shouldn't discredit research that builds on the model.

>On a personal level, I’d go further and suggest that all academic epidemiology be defunded. This sort of work is best done by the insurance sector.

This is another level of crazy.

This might be it for me too -- although it feels wrong to call this "one idea", because to me it's really a broad family of related ideas. There's some Jordan Peterson video where he sums up a social aspect of evolution as (paraphrasing slightly) "the thing that rises to the top of hierarchies is necessarily that thing which is good at rising to the top of hierarchies". CGP-Grey has a video discussing the version of this idea that applies to... well, to ideas, I guess. It's weird, because at some level I already knew everything he said, but that video nevertheless made quite an impact on me.

It's not at all obvious to me that the laws of physics are an exception to this, by the way. Anthropic arguments are a sort of primitive form of evolutionary process (in the vein of "we're in this part of the universe because this is the part of the universe that could have us").
I'll vouch for these folks, top-notch team with the domain expertise to make this happen.

Investigation reveals the truth: the code produces critically different results, even for identical starting seeds and parameters

The fellow claims to have been at Google, yet seems not to have heard about non-determinism in parallelized code? Are we supposed to throw away all molecular dynamics results that were not run on a single core?!

And what's with the beef about the mathematics? Yes, it's apparently poorly determined, but that is a feature, you can extract uncertainty from it. An engineer, even if it's a software "engineer" should have heard about experimental error!
Is the codespaces team hiring by any chance? I took a look at GitHub Jobs, and there are a few positions I could apply to there, but none directly related.
Yeah, it sucks for power users. It's a simplification because you don’t have pointer + data model, you only have the latter + visual highlight. But no longer the power of having a responsive pointer under exclusive user control. Dumbed down.

Are people afraid of watching a recorded show? Or are they afraid of watching a "virtual" model who is the creation of an AI?

In the former case. wouldn't the "cam" worker be able to achieve the same "proof of life" by simply having a conversation with the customer? Eg, the customer types something in chat, and the worker responds on the live stream?

In the latter case, if it is all virtual, then its all virtual, and response to a toy could just be faked.
What the fuck makes this happen to people
I've had a very high number of failures to deliver in a timely manner, and several times when I wasn't delivered anything at all.

Twice, I have been left food that I did not order. Mind you, my house number is plainly visible in three locations from the street. They didn't even ring the doorbell. Just dropped it off on the porch and left.

These problems span across all delivery services.

I don't know who does the delivery for groceries, but I am at an almost 100% failure rate for drivers to follow simple directions. "Leave the order by the large garage door" is all it says. I've only had ONE driver do that.

I've given up on food delivery except for the pizza place that has its own drivers.

As far as I am concerned, all these services can go out of business.
We're always debating buy vs. build, but that seems kind of extreme.

International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) Compliance - much easier to keep it on site, off-site compliance is costly. Also, cost over time. Better control of performance requirements for certain applications.
I'm using NUXT.js. Interestingly, I tried NEXT.js before and I do prefer the formal framework. It has been really easy to create your own personal blog since you can build a static site out of the framework. Super elegant! Definitely mobile friendly but that will depend on the CSS styling, which there are many templates out there.

Since I can create static sites from NUXT.js, I practically just need a static file server like Nginx to serve my files, and my server costs like 20bucks/year? Can't find anything cheaper than that.

Here's my site, I also write a few learnings and findings from my journey as a Software Engineer. Hope you find something useful from here! Cheers (:
