I saw, on Twitter, a “before-after” compendium showing how some of the same users posted tweets in support of the anti-lockdown protests, sometimes saying the virus is a hoax or whatever, then later tweeted that the BLM protests were going to spread the virus. My point is that there’s a lot of very obvious opportunities to find hypocrisy here, given two protest movements from opposing sides capturing the nation’s attention and occurring in short order during a time of social distancing and lockdown. It would be shocking if the internet wasn’t full of people talking about this. It’s thick grist for commentators of all stripes.
If anyone is initially fooled by the naming that illusion is broken very quickly after just a few seconds of looking into it so I doubt that this was an intentional act to trick people
MS-DOS doesn't support service(daemon) program so it's natural that local db file can be used directly from application.
This is the exact opposite of how burden of proof works. An extraordinary claim is being made. The burden of proof is on the person making the extraordinary claim. The claim is not only extraordinary, but the anecdote does not include any information indicating research into the origin of the "voices". I don't have to prove anything. I'm saying I don't believe it. The full article contains zero citations, zero clinical records, zero anything. It's a story. Maybe it's entertaining, but again, it's not science or medicine.
Without proof a discussion on whether or not a simple rule based ai discovered the secret to world peace seems premature :)

>Honestly, the longer I work in this industry the more I think the 10x developers are real and just so valuable. 90% of devs just aren’t worth that much.

I don't disagree with this, but I also came to the conclusion that it is just raging against the machine to think that it is fixable. So long as there is money to be made, no barriers to entry, and no economic incentive to improve the situation, it will only continue to get worse. I'm of the same opinion now that I was in the 90s - the fix is to mature the discipline to a true profession of licensed, qualified, software engineers. But, it's a pipe dream to think that will ever happen in a meaningful way.
> Burde of proof is on the accuser, you can't prove they fabricated or hallucinated and no one can prove their experience to you.

No, burden of proof is on the person making the interesting claim. If I claim that I went to Mars, and you claim I'm lying, the burden is on me to prove I went to Mars, because humans lying is boring, and humans going to Mars is interesting.

This is what people are trying to get at with the "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" copypasta: It's so easy for humans to make shit up that the evidence is on the person who told the story, especially if it's an interesting story you want to believe.

> Fear of the unknown is also a bias we should be aware of.

Bulverism is saying "Of course you believe/don't believe that because of some trait you have!" It's irrelevant, in that it doesn't disprove the belief. It doesn't matter if they believe something because it's blue on Tuesday and today is Odin's favorite month. If it's true, it's true, and if it's false, you only find out if it's false by examining the belief and its logical consequences, not the traits of the person who proposed it, positive or negative.

The IDE side is in my experience the worse part for Go (unless you pay for JetBrains GoLand).

Code navigation is extremely basic (can only find references in the same package!), often breaks, and can't handle stuff like finding all interfaces that a type implements, or finding all implementations of an interface.

First, I wanted to say congratulations on having that Techcrunch experience! That is very cool :)

I am white. I am often talking among my white colleagues who make statements like "I just want to work, I don't understand all the focus on diversity. Racism isn't something I consider when I go to work to make software." I understand this. I don't go to work trying to increase or lessen racism, it's simply not in the viewfinder.

However, I've talked with some of them about how it subtley changes your perspective and erodes your peace of mind to go to work among peers you don't outwardly identify with. We hope people go to office parties and learn finer details of those they work with and bond. This doesn't always happen. What helps immediately is being able to look around the room and see people who look like you.

I've been really happy to see how discussions about diversity have changed in the last 10 years. When we sit down with HR and do a workshop about diversity it is NOT about race at all. The emphasis has been on appreciating and drawing from diverse life experience from people who may appear commonplace. I've watched the language change into something more constructive and it pulls people away from simply thinking "I'm the one Asian dude in this department". I remember at my last job I started learning a fair amount of Tagalog because 3 folks around me came from the Fillipines and wanted to share awesome homecooked meals. I really valued that experience.

I have always lived and worked in California. I've been cautiously optimistic seeing people grow curious about others' upbringings and cultures, especially with oversharing from outlets like Instagram.

Anywho, glad to have you here, sir :)

Apple shouldn't be able to get away with doing this. Full stop.

But from a pure business perspective, if they're charging on an annual basis, if the average subscription length is say, 4 years, after the first year the rate is 15% not 30%. Additionally, Apple pays all the transaction costs, which on a $99 charge would be ~3.3%. That means if they go with Apple's system they'll effectively pay 18.75% versus 3.3%. Do they really think they won't achieve 19% [1] more subscriptions with a native signup flow and payment option compared to only recruiting customers outside Apple's ecosystem? That's what they need to break even on Apple's cut here. If they do think that, I'd be tempted to claim they don't really understand the power of App Store distribution.

[1] 96.7% revenue cut / 81.25% revenue cut
"If it's so easy to identify prospective great developers, why not try to recruit them?"

1. Who says that companies don't try. We can only observe that they are not too successful at it. But that might also just mean that there's many companies competing for few employees. And if you can get the same salary somewhere else, who would still go to Facebook?

2. Great at work doesn't mean great character. I'm pretty sure that the original team building Android was highly skilled. But their personalities also appear highly controversial. Not every company can stomach the fallout from hiring someone like that.

3. There is an incentive to keep quiet if you succeed. Once you publicly announce that you succeeded in hiring a truly outstanding employee, you are pretty much guaranteed to have recruiters try to steal your employee away from you.

4. The best jobs for these people are research and prototypes for future products. As such, you can be sure that companies will have draconian NDAs in place to prevent their top employees from taking about what they do. So they'll be mostly invisible on the internet.

5. If you look around in indie circles, you'll find many companies where one person does legal, marketing, and all product development. I'd guess those are the 10x-ers who value freedom higher than money.
Only because liability still isn't a sure thing with proper fines for those that ship faulty products.
What an extraordinary coincidence, I watched this episode yesterday on Netflix.

In the show the Major is a running joke as a very old person with a very old worldview. You can immediately know what he's gonna say when he opens he mouth to talk about black people, so I wasn't surprised at all. I was more surprised when in the same episode, Fawlty is startled and confused when he meets a black doctor.

I fully agree that common sense and biology would certainly suggest that trying to stick to a regimented schedule of very specific sleep in small segments for a total of far below 8 hours is probably not as healthy as just getting a good nights sleep regularly.

That said the content of this piece doesn’t actually make any meaningful, substantiated argument to that effect. It kind of just lightly suggests that it’s probably not healthy and that social demands ruin the viability of polyphasic sleep anyways.

Everyone is different and I don’t think 8 hours is perfect but I would be interested to see a data-driven analysis of sleep patterns/length and long-term effects.

I have serious doubts that anyone getting less than 4 hours a sleep for a long period of time (weeks or more) is going to be firing on all cylinders, no matter the creative schedule they construct around it. But I’d be open to seeing meaningful data about it.
It has definitely been gradually getting worse. There’s no question about that. Maybe some tendencies have always been there, but they’re being manifested at a much more aggressive rate in very recent years.

Black hole caught spewing jets into space at nearly the speed of light
There are an enormous number of people using Lambda's as a part of very complex workloads including customer facing platforms. Your specific use case of 100 000 incoming requests in 20 seconds is actually far more extreme than most users use cases; Lambda can do 3000 instantly and then adds more capacity over time unless you contact AWS and ask them to increase the limits in which it can do a lot more.

There are very many users of Lambda that run very high volume production workloads (billions of requests a month) and save an enormous amount of money doing so compared to traditional techniques. A lot of that saving comes from the ability to create solutions in days as opposed to weeks or even months and the fact that for most use cases the capacity exists to handle the volume most users need.
I'm laughing at how true this is, but at the same time, if you're doing this, it's probably the one case go excels at.
Most people do not know about the different Jewish peoples enough to recognize them. If you ask me to distinguish between Sephardim and Spaniards, or between an Ashkenazim and broadly European people, I will probably fail at that task.

Most people will be unsuspecting that you are Jewish, and even if they realize that you are Jewish, they will not think much about it. Perhaps they will ask you if you have any dietary restrictions and that's it.

Then, most Christians today see Judaism as another Abrahamic religion that is close to Christianity, not as a fundamentally different thing (even if in practice, it can be substantially different). Also, most people in the West are becoming increasingly secular and non-religious.

Stop spreading FUD. ".zfs/snapshot" has been working on Linux for years now. I don't know when you last used ZFS on Linux, but just because you haven't used ZoL for a while doesn't mean that the developers stopeed working on it.

Also, me and hundreds of other people have been booting off of ZFS on Linux for years. Your issue is most likely in your distro's initramfs setup or you must have botched the initramfs config yourself. If you're just used to FreeBSD, just stick to commenting about FreeBSD without maligning other operating systems.
> The differences between carpentry and software engineering is that the problem space in carpentry is much smaller and pretty much static over time.

Anyone is free to compare software development with any engineering field, which typically have to solve large problems.

Thus if you feel carpentry is not a good comparison them look into civil engineering.

And no, the key factor is not the 'power' of software tools. The key factor is stuff like processes and standardization.

Sometimes it feels like software developers struggle or even completely oppose adopting and establishing processes and standards of doing things. Hell, the role of software architect is still in this very day and age a source of controversy, as is documenting past and future work.

We're talking about a field that officially adopted winging it as a best practice, and devised a way to pull all stakeholders into its vortex of natural consequences as a way to dilute accountability. The field of software developme t managed to pull it off with such mastery that even the document where the approach is specified is not a hard set of rules but a vague "manifesto" that totally shields their proponents from any responsibility of its practice delivering poor results.

If an entire field struggles with the development and adoption of tried and true solutions to recurrent problems then it isn't a surprise that basic problems like gathering requirements and planning is something that is still the bane of a whole domain.
Is this open source? How does it differ from TimescaleDB or InfluxDB?
Not entirely true. The largest use case we see for Lambda is as the compute service for an API backend provisioned with API Gateway (so a full application backend) with synchronous responses over HTTP (so rapid response provided within milliseconds) and for mundane tasks that store data in a database just like a regular web application.

The perfect use case we see repeatedly is for high volume HTTP requests to API Gateway endpoints that trigger Lambda functions that respond in less than a second depending on what compute is running.
Where does your 99% number come from in "Windows scare away 99% of users from running the installer"?

From what I've seen, on the contrary most non-tech users simply click on "accept the risk" every single time there's one of those "scary" screens. They just do, just like they bypass HTTPS warnings in browsers. After all, most informed users us included do the same, maybe after a 5-10s pause in front of the screen to read the company name.

The number of people "scared away" seems way less than 50%, and I'd imagine it is probably around or even less than 15%.
Orwell was afraid of censorship by the government. In his wildest dreams he couldn’t envision that we’ll voluntarily out-source censorship to the private corporation. Reality stranger than fiction.
World peace achieved in such a way might only work when anyone showing the first signs of violence is immediately and collectively targeted for punishment by everyone else. That would suggests that sanctions _do_ work, but only in some strange kind of Stalinist way, or worse, sanctions don't work, and you have to wipe out the whole country and move in. I'm guessing these interpretations don't translate all that well to collective societies like those formed by human beings.
A hypothesis could be that these great developers became what they are due to an extreme internal drive at a young age; they already have tons of experience and the right attitudes/thinking patterns when joining the work force. If they continue learning (and why shouldn’t they, given their internal drive), how can anyone compete with them?

This intrinsic motivation implies that companies really can’t “grow” great developers, nor “pick them before they’ve blossomed”; what they can do is step aside and not create obstacles.

It is useful to think about all the energy in the problem.

There is a case where the only energy in the problem is the kinetic energy of the spaceship and the potential energy from gravity. That is the case of firing the spaceship with a giant catapult so that it goes and hits the other planet. In this case, it will be going really fast when it leaves earth. It will slow down as it moves away from earth, leaving its gravity. Then, it accelerates as it falls towards the heavier planet. Then splat, even faster than it was moving when it left earth.

At any point, the change in kinentic energy will be the negative of the change in potential energy.

A more common scenario, at least in our imagination, is that a thruster on the spacecraft is adding and removing lots of energy from the spacecraft. The math will still work out. And this way there is hope that the spacehip ends up at rest, not destroyed, on the larger planet. But this time the thruster did lots of work and has to be included in the energy balance.
That’s exactly why many of us use it, without giving much thought to the idea that it’s heavy or slow (which really makes me wonder what the hell some people are doing with their React apps...)

The developer ergonomics, and the mental models which it prescribes - which are why I’d argue it’s actually a framework and not just a library, but that’s semantics - are really well thought out and can make you very productive.

If I want to build a static site with minimal fuss I might still use something like HTML, Sass and vanilla JS with Parcel. For pretty much everything else React has become a default.
