There are other standard tools that don't suffer with package bloat, like Prettier and Typescript, which don't have dependencies. This issue is not inherent to the ecosystem.
Amazon Sponsored Ads for Google Ads PPC-Ers: 3 Part Guide
Shortcut guide to Amazon Advertising for people with a Google Ads skill set, that equates features and functions of Google Ads to those of Amazon Sponsored Ads.

Endstate: You will, at least, be able to go into Amazon Ads, know what you're looking at and where to find things, and how to set up a basic account and strategy.

Link is for part 1. Links to parts 2 & 3 are found at the top & bottom of the article.

My local Vons keeps sending me $20 off coupons if I use their delivery service. I've tried; 3 times. All failures.

First, their UI is confusing. I didn't realize at first that I could specify—for each item—if I would accept a substitution or not. And I got about 70% of my order right, 15% wrong, and 15% missing.

The second time, I diligently went through each item in my cart and set my substitution preference. This is another fail. The choices are (1) No substitutions; (2) substitute with same brand, different size; or (3) substitute with different brand, same size.

What I would like is “(4) Cancel the entire order if you can't fulfill this item” and “(5) These x items are all-or-none” But that's a logistical nightmare I assume. They're not going to have the pickers drop the cart as soon as they realize they can't find item #23 on my list. Nor can they criss-cross the store verifying the must-haves before moving on with the rest of the list.

And the failures are not just missing items. Substitution preferences are subjective and personal. On my first order, they didn't have Diet Coke. So I got regular Coke instead. When I got wise to setting the preferences, it still resulted in getting the chips, but no dip.

Perfect, real-time inventory won't solve this. I can order an item that's in stock, then get "front-run" by a shopper who's actually in the store.

FWIW, I have these issues regardless if it's Instacart or Vons' own delivery personnel (They use both). And I don't blame the picker one bit. I used to shop for my Dad when he could no longer drive. He was just as disappointed with my results as I am with theirs :)
I have very few users, so it is still within my budget.

Yeah, it should come as systemic feature.

I'd argue that a sizeable fraction of jobs titled software engineer would be more properly categorized as software technician or software designer. Designers tend to use flexible materials (clay, Python, breadboards) that are easy to prototype in, even if they don't stand up well in industrial settings. Technicians can rig up serviceable systems just by plumbing pre-engineered components together. Not everything needs to be engineered.

Also, why do we have to put up with advanced tools being pains-in-the-arse? I really like Julia's manifesto: "Even though we recognize that we are inexcusably greedy, we still want to have it all." https://julialang.org/blog/2012/02/why-we-created-julia/
I am pretty sure online share trading has been around since early 2000s.
Until they randomly take down your video at the worst time for copyright or some other account problem.
IMO the biggest problem is that even for enterprise/large-scale-website scenarios, the combination of the product cost, the cost of downloading the decoder on each machine, and the increased cpu/gpu load (resulting in lower battery life) can drown out any advantage from the size reduction. The fact that it only works for a subset of video content is another problem.

Switching to H265 or AV1 is way more compelling in practice because it works for everything, it's hardware accelerated, the decoders are off-the-shelf, and the quality is significantly improved. A modern GPU can both encode and decode H265.
Those VP numbers aren't quite right. The average for VP is around £160k and go up to around £190k.
Not sure if I can give you sources, but have you followed the Oxford University vaccine story? It seems like they're working miracles while many other scientists are pretty skeptical if a vaccine can be found at all, or at least within such short time frames.

This is anecdotal, but I do agree with the OP, there is a lot of conflicting information available.
We like them because you can make one or two cups without wasting a lot of coffee or water.

And unlike other brands, Nespresso pods are made of aluminum, so they can be recycled. In the US, when you order the pods or pick them up in a Nespresso shop, you get a UPS mailer bag. When you use a pod, drop it in the bag. When the bag is full, seal the bag and drop it in a UPS mailbox to recycle the pods with Nespresso. That's something I can't do with the bags from the coffee beans I get in stores here.

This article makes a big deal out of the fact that people don't recycle their pods. I'm not sure why that's Nespresso's fault. At least in the US, it's pretty damn painless.
Target may well have been the husband, who's a criminal defense attorney. They're targets more often than you'd think.
To be fair to Nespresso, there are some potential environmental benefits from only boiling the required quantity of water, and reduction of waste coffee (i.e. in the pot and undrunk). It's not easy to determine if these outweigh the waste of the pods themselves.

(I'm no Nespresso shill, I grind and Aeropress - I think my biggest source of waste is on power from boiling too much water)

"In stock market you're not playing against other people, including the "pros".
You try to pick companies that will grow in the future."

Ah ha!

This is the fallacy, unfortunately.

Once stocks are public, it's more akin to poker than investing.

Every time you buy a stock, there is someone on the other side, wanting to sell it to you for the same price.

Now, you have to ask yourself the question - why is that person will to part with something that you think is going to be worth more?

If everyone were doing 'value investing' I think there would be a case.

But with day trading, leveraged into option trading ... it's poker. People are 'making bets on stocks' just like they would on horses.
This is basically git flow except peer review happens before cutting a release instead of before integrating changes.

Even if I worked with a hall of fame team of developers, I don't want to integrate your crappy first draft that hasn't been peer reviewed or tested into my work. Generally, if you wouldn't deploy it to Prod as-is, I don't want to build on top of it.

When you allow merging of half-done work, it places additional cognitive overhead on each developer they now all have to keep up and be aware of the timeline of each other's changes and are potentially blocked from releasing until all the merged work that isn't yet released is done.

There is also the thinking that "developer velocity" = how fast you can merge stuff into a shared integration branch. This is dated, low-ownership thinking that I wouldn't want any team I am on to take part in.

The developer is not "done" until it's running in Prod. So you want process that makes that as frictionless as possible, while still having all the peer-review goodness.

The best flow I have experienced is dead simple and it's:

feature branch -> create PR -> peer-review/manual testing/business sign off -> merge to mainline -> CI/CD runs tests and deploys to Prod (from mainline)

I'm not an expert but those numbers sound like total crap.
One overlooked usecase is RDP and VNC-like concepts. Right now Appetize (App streaming service) uses raster graphics. Vector would allow high-FPS streaming of Apps, making running Apps in the cloud a realistic option.
Just waiting for it to show up on the front page of HN, given it has the magic "Rust" in it.
> I might be the only person who dislikes traveling. To me, traveling is an expensive way to explore food, museums and maybe some overcrowded landmarks. I went to Paris, Tokyo, and all we did was followed a guidebook of one touristy place after another.

It sounds like you do like travelling, but dislike the tourism industry. It’s quite possible to get the same tourism experience you describe for Paris in any major US city. It’s also possible to travel in Europe without feeling like you’re visiting a theme park— ditch the guidebook and just wander.

Why would anyone assume equity price dictates options price? If there's arbitrage between the two instruments, they'll both exert a force on one another and the larger market (options) will exert the larger force.
Not sure about being a founder. I rather be a entrepreneur and if that means that at some point i end up founding a startup, so be it. But the term “founder” seems like a unnecessarily limiting word and i don’t understand why it appeals to some people.
If you could drastically reduce the size of videos, self-hosting video distribution pages for e.g. training material would suddenly become feasible, if not for individuals then for small companies.

If by innovation you mean try out Tesla's patents then absolutely.. I think Tesla opened their parents for PR reasons. The other companies stealing them and Tesla doing nothing would have been bad, Tesla getting countersued with bs even worse.
It probably help with recognition. You probably won't remember if you have seen 'b7b05951-c3d3-4a7f-b65b-122e7d2543d4' before, but you are likely to remember that you have seen 'Cathleen d Dieball the Monolith of Alderson reflects Arly Arnie Keenan and 18 large ants' before (based on the chance that there are no similar uuid)

And if also give you something to read in your head when you see it.

"Oh, you mean the 18 ants object?"
For most websites maybe, but you can change host to cut costs if needed. Not so with domains if you want to keep the URLs working.
This is 'revenge' (not quite that, but like that) - a very specific kind of 'esprit de corps' and very deep motivator.

A lot of people joined the forces after 9/11, somewhat similar.
GPUs are good at drawing shapes, but that doesn't actually mean that using the GPU to rasterize high-quality polygons will be fast. In practice most production solutions for this run on a combination of CPU and GPU and use complex shaders to achieve acceptable quality. If you're rendering regular alpha-blended or opaque triangles that's very fast, but they're not going to be anti-aliased and stuff like cubic splines will need to be triangulated on the CPU or GPU. Libraries like Pathfinder and Slug are the current state of the art and they are very complicated.

In comparison, video acceleration on most modern GPUs is done using dedicated silicon that typically has its own performance budget (so it doesn't eat into the GPU time to run shaders or your compositor).
Maybe I am confused and I didn't understand what you mean, but if you mean "hard-left" in the political sense, I feel I have to disagree.

In a lot of western country, the "hard-right" has won: Trump in the US, Johnson in the UK, Orban in Hungary, Bolsonaro in Brazil, ... And in some other country they are maybe the strongest they ever been in recent memory (France, Belgium, arguably even Germany). I cannot think of any "hard-left" president/prime-minister that has won in any country recently. Moderate left maybe, but no hard-left.
So if anything, the institutions in power are dragging us to the "hard-right", not really the opposite. Sure, some institutions have always been a left stronghold, but until now, it doesn't seem that they had really any impact in shifting the power balance ...
They're really not. They're quite dangerous. I flirted with the "T12" ecosystem for a bit and the designs are marginal to say the least. From a mechanical design perspective it's not uncommon for the mount to short the supply out which will blow the MOSFET in the unit to bits. Secondarily, if the power supply browns out, the devices tend not to fail safe and will quite happily give you a bright orange glowing fire hazard for a tip.

Not only that some of the Quicko ones have firmware crash bugs which can trigger a reset while the MOSFET is turned on. Woosh.
I didn't say "built", I said "feature", and in response to a comparison with the A350.

It's becoming increasingly rare for airlines to configure their planes with first class. However most (possibly all?) A380s were or are configured with first class, making direct comparisons more difficult.

Whether first-class exists on the (10 years older) 777 is neither here nor there.
Now apply the same rules to the SRE role as well.
Imagine if HTTP was truly distributed and servers from different organizations could pool their bandwidth to serve static content. Similar to Bit Torrent.
Impressive to a human is a highly subjective property. Humans generally consider the understanding of language to be an intelligent trait, yet tend to take basic vision which took much longer evolutionarily to develop for granted. Neural networks can approximate arbitrary functions, and the ability to efficiently optimize neural network parameters over high dimensional non-convex landscapes has been well established for years. What typically limits pushing the state of the art is the availability of "labeled" data and the finances required for very large scale trainings. With NLP, there are huge datasets available which are effectively in the form of supervised data, since humans have 1) invented a meaningful and descriptive language and 2) generated hundreds of trillions of words in the form of coherent sentences and storylines. The task of predicting a missing word is a well-defined supervised task for which then there is effectively infinite "labeled" data. Couple these facts with a large amount of compute credits and the right architecture and you get GPT3. The results are really cool but in my opinion scientifically unsurprising. GPT3 is effectively an example of just how far we can currently push supervised deep learning, and even if we could get truly human level language understanding asymptotically with this method, it may not get us much closer to AGI, if only because not every application will have this much data available, certainly not in a neatly packaged supervised representation like language (such as computer vision). While approaches like GPT3 will continue to improve the state of the art and teach us new things by essentially treating NLP or other problems as an "overdetermined" system of equations, these approaches are subject to diminishing returns and the path to AGI may well require cracking that human ability to create and learn with a vastly better sample complexity, effectively operating in a completely different "under-sampled" regime.

Children don't have to work so they have time to go to school. After school they can get a better job than artisanal cobalt mining. It's not like artisanal cobalt mining is an industry that needs to be protected. Commercial scale cobalt mining also exists and is far more effective at extracting cobalt and if you have an education it's far easier to get a job at a real cobalt mining company.
That is broken on my computer :(

Maybe your content is against the rules of YouTube or you want to have a custom paywall for your premium content. Maybe you just don't want Google to collect data about your users. You will be in trouble when Google cancels your account without prior notice.

Most modern application UI can't really be encoded as vectors, there's lots of raster stuff in there plus bitmaps. Many mobile apps right now are a big pile of PNGs and/or raster filters (like drop shadows, etc). So you end up actually needing to ship scene graphs along with bitmaps.

You can certainly leverage that, but it also increases the resource demands (and thus power demands) on the client.
Are you confusing commitment with responsibility?

If something goes off at night or if you have an idea and decide to put in a few extra hours at 6pm, it's an opportunity to do some work to improve things for the future of your project. You don't have to. Some people like such low-hanging fruit though.

Office rentals and bathroom cleaning are responsibilities like those pretty much everyone has to deal with in adult life. They can feel like a burden if you have Peter Pan Syndrome, but are consequences of life decisions and not special commitments that need to be questioned every day.

I'm weary of travel too, and most weary of doing touristy things. If I can I like to plonk myself into places for extended periods and take my time wandering around.

For the most part I agree that travel is overrated. Most translations I've read of Lao Tzu suggests that he agrees too - we're in exalted company on this one.

We will find out eventually whether the Oxford University vaccine works or becomes an example of "and then nothing". But it is definitely not a "and then nothing" yet.
Does it not strike you as somewhat narcissistic to assume that, because an article isn't valuable to someone in your exact position, it isn't valuable at all?

You comment reminds me of something I read recently in a novel by Ian McEwan, in which a character talks about the sort of novels she would like to read:

> "I suppose I would not have been satisfied until I had in my hands a novel about a girl in a Camden bedsit who occupied a lowly position in MI5 and was without a man."

The character is, of course, "a girl in a Camden bedsit who occupied a lowly position in MI5 and was without a man".

In fact, what I dislike most about modern China is the endless gleaming shopping malls full of the same (mostly Western) brands.

Isn't that the point the OP is making though? That China is full of western brands that seem to outcompete local brands, yet PRC propaganda keeps claiming the rest of the world is using the wrong economic model.
You are assuming that people can increase thier income by working more hours. Most salaried employees can’t do so at all and hourly employees don’t often get overtime hours. It’s quite possible that commuting really is the only way to “earn” the bigger house.

Regardless, there are other factors at play. A big one is that the amenities you want aren’t near your work place at any price point- see all those people who commute from SF to Mountain View. Another is that your job changed but you don’t want to move- I once rented a place near the downtown core thinking I’d always be close to work, and then somehow ended up with 45 minute commute to a satellite location. Once someone buys a place, get settled, and kids start school it gets a hard to move your residence as well.
A documented process can be automated.

Humans should be paged only when this is a new category of failure, and in that case, having the developer wake up first triggers a really good feedback loop.
It works OK to recover unused domains (but definitely no perfectly) but it does mean nearly all URLs get broken eventually even if the content is still archived somewhere.
> While GPT-3 is impressive in its capabilities, we must think about detections methods that distinguish content created by an AI or a human.

While this would be very useful, I'm not sure it's possible - at least not on something like a static text article, where you can't query the machine learning model with custom inputs to expose its' faults.

I think the internet will be soon be flooded with an absolute tsunami of AI generated content, practically indistinguishable from human created content - and it will make the job of search engines so much more difficult.

It's interesting that in our quest to organise the world we always actually create a lot more entropy.
I thought RDP was already a bit more intelligent than "only" sending raster frames, sending things like window dimensions and such to be rendered on the client?
One of the funniest cases I know of is actually a reverse case. A French/Russian caricaturist, Emmanuel Poiré, published his work under the name Caran d'Ache, which is a french transliteration of the word карандаш which means pencil in Russian. The Swiss company Caran d'Ache "borrowed" his name six years after he died in 1909, and became on of the most renowned companies in this business.
