They were specifically asking about landlines. And referring to the method of pressing a number several times to get the correct letter on a mobile phone (i.e., when texting). So they explicitly mentioned that they have seen the letters. However, when dialling a number, they used the numbers, not the letters.
Right. It also depends on geography.

Sometimes water is easy, but sewerage capacity is the limit, so gray water reuse makes sense to encourage where possible.

Water is measured, but sewage discharge isn’t.

I’d like holding tanks for gray water re-use for toilets. Apparently still gray water becomes septic after a day, but if it’s your toilet, shouldn’t you assume the water in there is septic anyway??
> I can't believe people put up a TikTok-value photo on a professional site

That's interesting - for the longest time, for me Github wasn't anything related to the professional world, just a website to put the hobby OSS projects or uni group projects on. Things have obviously changed - it's nice to get a reality check regarding it.
I’d be curious about that as well. I made my own minor comparisons, and heif did well, but there are a ton of possible pitfalls my comparison may have been subject to so I’d love to see a comparison by someone with expertise
As a long-time .NET developer (since it was invented), getting into Unity (have been doing it professionally, full-time for the last 4 years) was a huge exercise in pain and suffering. They have their own ideas on how projects and their dependencies should be organized that don't align with the rest of the .NET ecosystem and, quite frankly, it's maddening.

It took me probably two solid years before I was making things in Unity that were any "good" (not dropping frames because of stupid stuff that Unity does like decoding textures on the render thread, not taking forever to load on startup, being able to cross-compile to different VR and AR systems without making massive changes to the application, etc.). After the third year, I had written workarounds for so many of Unity's built in stuff that I wish I had just started with my own game framework and skipped Unity completely.

Well, I guess that's not entirely true. I wouldn't have gotten my first well-paying, fulltime job VR without Unity. But from just a technology standpoint, it's been a major impediment.

Also something to keep in mind is this is selling to large financial institutions, not small businesses. They have 290 customers, who each pay pay ~$480K/year on average in subscription revenue. nCino doesn't need millions of customers, so its sales and support model is built to attract and retain a relatively small number of customers. It's common with large enterprises to see a decent amount of professional services revenue because keeping your existing customers happy is paramount, since churn matters a lot more at these contract values and customer acquisition is a longer process that goes through procurement, bureaucratic red tape, longer implementation, etc.

Gell-Mann Amnesia

In a speech in 2002, Crichton coined the term Gell-Mann amnesia effect. He used this term to describe the phenomenon of experts believing news articles on topics outside of their fields of expertise, even after acknowledging that articles written in the same publication that are within the experts' fields of expertise are error-ridden and full of misunderstanding. He explains the irony of the term, saying it came about "because I once discussed it with Murray Gell-Mann, and by dropping a famous name I imply greater importance to myself, and to the effect, than it would otherwise have

So how fast will this be compared to native? As I understand, it's not "emulation" but something more low level?
In most cases I prefer the WebP versions, but the JPEG formats handle chroma noticeably better. E.g. look at the purple band on the rightmost helmet in the 500 pixel version of Kodim 5. WebP reduces the saturation by excessive blurring. CJPEG handles this image best IMO.
Absolutely. I don't for a moment think they're the right tool for the job.

They are fairly powerful in terms of what they're capable of parsing however (not enough for an arbitrary html document, but enough to handle the hairier situations in this thread that people thought they couldn't), and that does mean that a regular expression generator can handle all of those situations as well and potentially be much more readable.

If I found myself writing code like this I'd still want to reach for a better parsing technology, but you can use other languages to add abstractions to regex. Here's a Python3.6+ example assuming any desired backslashes have already been applied:

'|'.join(rf'{a}[^{b}]*{b}' for a,b in pairs)
> He works for Facebook. He's paid with Facebook money. So why draw this imaginary line between research and production? He is paid to do research that will go into production.

This is a silly standard to uphold. The sizable bulk of American academic researchers are at least partially funded by grants made from the US federal budget.

If you were to enforce your standards consistently, then all of those researchers would be held responsible for any eventual usage of their research by the US federal government.

I really doubt you apply the same standard. So, the criticism mostly seems to be an isolated demand for rigor. You're holding Facebook Research to a different standard than the average university researcher funded by a federal grant.

> indeed.com puts the average software engineer in silicon valley at $112k with a $5k bonus per year

That figure or the number you edited it to at $141k, is on the low side. The median software developer in the US is at ~$110,000. The top 10% bracket starts at around $165,000.

Emphasis that $110k figure is median, average is higher. The average software developer in SV with 10 years of experience is going to be a lot closer to $200k or over.
Ideally, get in touch with a few friends or neighbours. If you really don't know anyone in the vicinity, I'd suggest finding some like-minded people online and agree to meet in person. Or get to know your neighbours.

An OS course taught in Python is really just a data structures and algorithms course. When you ignore the hardware aspect, topics like scheduling and virtual memory management are about selecting an algorithm with the appropriate trade-offs.

My OS course was hacking on x86 Linux in C. The C wasn't really the difficult part. Honestly, neither was the assembly, as most of was boilerplate: here's how you configure to registers for a system call, here's how you trigger the interrupt for the system call, here's how you get the return codes, etc.

I don't think the class would have been nearly as valuable if C were replaced with Python. At that point, so many of the interesting details would be hand-waved away that it wouldn't really be all that different from the other programming classes I took.

I've found some shifts in my language have helped with this. Here's some examples from a blog post I wrote on this awhile ago:

Instead of "Some people are born to be singers—I’m not one of them." ▶ try "I didn’t start with any singing talent—I’ve had to learn it all."

Instead of "I suck at math." ▶ try "Math has been challenging for me."

Instead of "I’ll never be an artist." ▶ try "I feel really dissatisfied with all of the art I’ve tried to produce."

Instead of "I would never be comfortable offering hugs to strangers." ▶ try "I’m finding it really hard to imagine offering hugs to strangers."

Instead of "I never seem to be able to keep my notes organized." ▶ try "In the past, when I tried to keep my notes organized, I didn’t have much success."

Instead of "I’d really like to learn to juggle, but I just can’t." ▶ try "I’d really like to learn to juggle, though I haven’t started yet."

Instead of "I’m not good at origami." ▶ try "I haven’t learned how to do origami yet."

Instead of "I’m just bad at it, and I don’t care." ▶ try "Well, it’s not a priority for me to learn right now."

Here's the blog post, which features a few other kinds of reframes as well as some other examples:

I'm reading The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham and taking "stock" in my overall investment strategy and just trying to be more aware.

Been asking myself what I really want as a dude with over 23 years of IT exposure, living by himself. The life questions really have become more prominent during this time.

Lost my ex-brother in law who I really got along with. He died suddenly of cardiac arrest due to stress. He was 33 yrs old. 10 yrs old when he came to the US. It hurts a great deal thinking about that, but it forces me to ask some serious questions about what I'm doing with my life.
This is a great question that not everyone asks, especially honestly and genuinely! It can be a little bit uncomfortable to begin things. There's a Norwegian word for it, dørstokkmila, which means doorstep mile. The first mile out the door (like on a run on a cold day) is always the hardest. There are plenty of sayings about it to let us know that this feeling is actually a shared one: another one is "all beginnings are difficult".
But this might not bring you consolation (hardy har, perfect example of where knowing it all can't save us: we need to know how to do too, so here are a few more ideas:
- thinking about those (rare) nifty elderly people who are able to begin new things with grace and humour: it is exactly their grace and humour that brings them an air of authority even though they may 'look silly' being out of their league
- thinking about new things as an experiment, a little game you play with yourself to see how calm you can be in it
- making it even harder than it is by asking yourself questions, to prove to yourself that you are curious (after a few hours of this, going back to the 'normal mode' of learning something new will seem easier!)
Let us hope we live long, rich lives. Playing games with ourselves to learn how to learn can make our lives more fun than stressful. Finally:
- it helps to develop a sense of humour!
Good luck to us all on this journey :) And a great but serious book that might be inspiring is Johan Huizinga's Homo Ludens.

I'd like to know how you would explain a complicated topic to the average reader, all keeping it between 600-700 words, on a tight deadline, with quotes from a variety of people, and engaging enough to hold a reader's attention to know how this particular topic will impact their lives.

These are the hurdles reporters face when reporting on complicated topics.

Jesus it's so exhausting reading the knee-jerk "SV engineers make more money" reaction to everything. You know what this person has that 99.999% of all SV engineers will never have? Complete freedom. You know what else this person has that 99% of all SV engineers will never have? The option not to have live in San Francisco, a dismal place that very few people want to actually be in anymore.

I first noticed this as a teenager.

But I think in the time since then I have allowed for the idea that it's more complex than this. The "getting it wrong" part is not universal - some people do better than others. Further, when we are experts in something, we are more opinionated, and those firm opinions are not always universally held or appropriate for a general audience, they may even be distracting.

I think the more general thing to say is it's hard to assess the quality of reporting and quoted sources when it's a topic we're less familiar with -- not that the reporting is necessarily all terrible.

Using anonymous sources to relay secret information like government insiders is very different from public pseudonymous writers. 'Scott Alexander' is of interest only as 'Scott Alexander'; he is famous for writing as 'Scott Alexander'; if you want to find criticism of Scott Alexander, you will find it by asking people about 'Scott Alexander'; and he blogs about general topics with reference to publicly verifiable things like scientific research, as opposed to focusing solely on his anecdotal experience; what does knowing his real name add or let a journalist verify? Does it somehow let you verify that he does in fact blog at SSC...? (Yes, he sometimes talks about his psychiatric patients, but like all psychiatrists, he blends and tweaks stories to protect his patients, and knowing his real name is John Smith gives you no more way of verifying said stories than when they were written by 'Scott Alexander'.)
