We should start a thread with other lessons from supposedly dead-end jobs. I'll offer the following from a couple teenage summers as a hardware-store clerk at minimum wage:

- Start out friendly when you're interacting with someone you've never met before. It usually works out well.

- Don't spew BS answers when you don't know something. Seriously. Just own up to your knowledge gap and see if someone else can help.

No, it's closer to the opposite. The statute says that the courts "may, only to the extent necessary" charge fees for access to PACER. I don't think there would be any legal barrier to the courts eliminating the paywall other than the courts have become dependent on the revenue stream. I suppose in that sense Congress has forced it to exist by failing to provide an alternative funding source.

> 2/ a modified virus "escaping" Wuhan's BSL4 lab

Or just a natural one. The virus doesn't need to have been engineered/synthesized/mofidied for the Wuhan lab to accidentally/purposefully released it (for the record, if it did originate from the lab I would bet it was accidental).

Don't forget that the Wuhan lab was also part of a US government funded program to help prevent future pandemics[0]. So the lab likely handled natural viruses. The program's funding was cut/stopped last year & an article about it was posted on HN (flagged & removed). I quoted + commented on the HN posting/article back then[1]. Here is the snippet I previously quoted:

> Two months before the novel coronavirus is thought to have begun its deadly advance in Wuhan, China, the Trump administration ended a $200-million pandemic early-warning program aimed at training scientists in China and other countries to detect and respond to such a threat.

> The project, launched ... in 2009, identified 1,200 different viruses that had the potential to erupt into pandemics, including more than 160 novel coronaviruses. The initiative, called PREDICT, also trained and supported staff in 60 foreign laboratories — including the Wuhan lab that identified SARS-CoV-2, the new coronavirus that causes COVID-19.

> Field work ceased when the funding ran out in September

The Wuhan lab was also first to identify & sequence SARS-CoV-2[2]. Coincidence or not, that part makes sense either way because it's a BSL4 lab & it's located in the same city as the first cases.

When you buy into the Apple mobile ecosystem, it's very much because it's Apple's platform, and that's the value-add Apple brings to the table.

Rewinding the clock: The iPhone hit a market that was full of low-quality hardware running lower-quality software. Apple brought to the consumer a tightly-controlled ecosystem that came with a quality guarantee. For my relatives who don't want to think hard about their phone working, I still recommend they buy Apple; pay Jobs's company the money, and they'll take care of you, from extended warranties to an app store designed to tamp down as best it can on scams and crap apps.
And provides a mechanism for pulling bad apps when they’re later found to be bad.

This is an important point. Apple will retaliate and hinder your ability to get work done using your own in-house software if they decide they don't like you.
I still don't see a reason why one would use Vue or React.

I agree that templating of data is something you should use a library for. But there are great templating libraries. Handlebars for example.

Can someone give a short example of code that would be more elegant using Vue then just a simple template engine?

Kind of -- reactive() lets you declare multiple values at once, and you can read the property directly.

ref() is for single values, and to get at the actual VALUE, you need to use "myRef.value"

const state = reactive({ msg: "hello", count: 1 })
state.msg // "hello"

const msg = ref("hello")
msg.value // "hello"

Though when you use ref()'s in templates, it will bind to .value for you.
Don't you think it's weird to have such strong opinions about something you don't know much about?

Big data and a flawed system. They sell a service that is based off of using integrations. If you stop paying for the integrations, you should stop receiving the service. That in turn hurts their level of service offerings.

To be of any value, they have to monitor a ton of transnational data. So even if you quit paying, they still monitored your data and their modules were flawed that is still showed their acceptance score if you stopped paying.
We can't fathom it either!

What’s absolutely stunning to me is the (former) CEO quote in the article says the company was under SEC investigation for fraud as early as November of last year. And given that the DOJ complaint alleges the fraud occurred between January 2019-February 2020 I would be inclined to believe it. (Fraud doesn’t tend to just stop of it’s own accord.)

So was the investigation disclosed to Lightspeed and they decided to invest anyway? Who on earth would invest with someone currently under investigation for a scheme to defraud investors? And if it wasn’t disclosed, why not? Did that not come up at all during due diligence?
The sheer alien-ness of cephalopod intelligence reminds me of the current conversation about AI and whether they are "truly" thinking or just mechanistic. It's easier to see an octopus as executing a highly advanced algorithm than it is to see ourselves that way.

1. There is no opposition between non-deterministic self-organization and quantification. You can measure metrics of any chaotic system.

2. Morality is about the future? You must have skipped a step there. Are you assuming consequentialism? Do you mean that the morality of an action can only be judged w.r.t its future consequences? If so, it just means you need probabilities, which can be evaluated objectively.

3. The is/ought problem is well known. The core assumption of this discussion is: "we ought to do as society decided to do". All that remains to be measure is what society decided to do. Does society make effort to raise or lower X? That's a factual question that will lead you to know whether X OUGHT to be increased or decreases.

> And yet human health has greatly improved over the last 2000 years is a true, qualitative statement.

It is totally subjective. There are people (e.g. believers of racial purity) who would argue it is not the case. You can find antivaxxers to claim that our way of life is inherently unhealthy compared to ancient times. Religious fanatics consider that spiritual health (the only important one to them) fell since the times of revelations.

Life expectancy has increased, but there that's an objective metric that you, subjectively, decided matters. "Health" means nothing until you have "reduced" it to objectivable metric.
That goes to political philosophy and the concept "A law not enforced is no law at all."

Technically, some states still have laws in the books that certain types of sex is punishable as "sodomy," regardless of the consent of the practitioners. Since the US Supreme Court ruled that it's a violation of civil rights to constrain two consenting adults on how they get freaky in the bedroom, the existence of those laws is utterly moot. Are they still "laws" if nobody can enforce them?
Sure, but look at the transportation costs alone for getting you to the office and back every day. I'd bet in the common cases where a dev is writing a web app that's not FAANG-scale, you could power the server for 20 years on the energy it takes for you to get to work that one year.

Let's put this in concrete terms: it's surprising how much work you can get out of a Raspberry Pi. An RPi 4 is almost certainly enough to host many small companies' websites until they hit a traffic inflection point. A loaded RPi4 takes about 8 W/h to operate. A gallon of gasoline has about 33 kWh of energy in it, or about 4,000 hours of RPi running time. In other words, a single gallon of gas could run an RPi 4 for about 6 months.

Suppose it takes you a month (or about 20 commuting days) to write your startup's website in Flask, and that it takes you about 1 gallon of gas round trip to work and back. Your car alone just spend about 10 years worth of server power, which is statistically much longer than that website is likely to live.

Now suppose you're a badass programmer who can convert that Flask app into assembler that runs twice as efficiently, and it only takes you 1 month to write it. Now you've spent 40 gallons of gas, and your app can run for 40 years on the amount of energy you spent writing it.

You can fiddle with the numbers a lot, but I think the general point stands: unless your code is very heavily used, it may not be possible to ever break even energy-wise by spending human effort to make it run more efficiently.

I'm not sure if it's still alive, but if you're in Toronto, Ripley's Aquarium has one. Though, it's kept in the 'Canadian Waters' gallery for...reasons.

"Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada is home to a giant Pacific octopus (Enteroctopus dofleini). This species of octopus is the largest of 300+ known octopus species. There is a huge variation in size that depends on the individual, but the average for this species is considered around 15-18kg (33-40lb), with an arm span around 4m(12-14ft) when stretched out. Of course, we can’t talk about size without mentioning the world record – OVER 130kg (300lb) and 9m (30ft) wide! There has also been the occasional “fisherman’s tale” of even larger individuals, but the proof isn’t quite there yet.

The giant Pacific octopus can live to be about four years old, with both males and females dying soon after breeding. Females live long enough to tend to their eggs, but they do not eat during this months-long brooding period, and usually die soon afterwards."

Disable interrupts and mask all interrupt levels.
Setting Interrupt descriptor (IDT) and segment descriptor (GDT). As a result,
all selectors (CS, DS, ES, FS, GS) refer to the 4 Gbyte flat linear address space.

I actually learned Dutch as an adult, I'm around a B1/B2 level. I did actually notice my dyslexia at least felt like less of an issue in Dutch. Since I learned mostly through reading, I learned new words in their written form, and then had to learn rules for how to translate them into their spoken form. Pretty much the exact opposite of how you learn your native language. It also may feel like less of an issue because I don't use it nearly as often as English, and because it is a second language, so I'm not nearly as hard on myself for any mistakes I make.

Of course it does. People like myself see the overreach Apple has taken with their platforms and hardware, and as a result, I'm not going to rest the viability of my business on Apple's whims.
> I don't really understand [X]. Doesn't [Y] make your app difficult to reason and debug it?

It (passing mutable values around) does make it harder to understand the data-flow, yes.

But we programmers keep assuming our rules & protection & orderliness are helpful & necessary. And those patterns we opt in to keep getting codified, embraced. But along comes someone who breaks those rules, & it keeps turning out, a lot of the things we think we do to be orderly & safe & sensible are actually not that helpful at all, or have impeded really wonderful progress elsewhere.

I think of React. Until React came along, everyone doing web development knew, it was obviously correct, that we needed templating languages. We knew we needed content & code separate. We knew content was obviously a different beast than code & that content should have tools designed for content. As it turns out, mixing code & content actually works really well & that we had ruled out a wide space of possibilities that were really simple, powerful, & direct.

Relatedly, here, with shared-mutable-variables, I'd pitch that hopefully tools compensate for a lot. Hopefully it's possible to run the app & see who is modifying values, see who is being updated when values change. It's nice being able to have the code tell you, up front, easily, but also hopefully watching at runtime is possible, makes it easy to suss out what the connections & causalities are within a system.
Wow, I thought it was widely known.

I had this back in the days, or should I say back in the years, when I was still awake staying late at night to have a decent ADSL speed.

That's not really correct. Initial stability starts off low. But over time stability gets better and better because the effects that drive aging (IIUC mainly mechanical stress) diminish over time as the part "settles down".

This OCXO for example starts off within 1ppb/day. But yearly is within 100ppb, and 10 year stability is within 600ppb.
Surely if genetic variation is introduced primarily by the breeding process, any factors which have a effect against like (competing for food, less genetic variation), etc, are going to get selected against?

This is because you're expecting it to be an imperative language. It's not.

OpenSCAD really should throw an error on compile if you try to redefine variables, but its intent is a declarative language. Once you think of it as such, most of its design choices start to make sense.

None of it makes sense in the context of a well-run business with proper executives in place. That’s because these frauds don’t operate like a well-run business.

Usually, the upper management teams are extremely lean. The business is broken up into different silos such that few people can see the big picture. Each is led to believe they are a tiny fraction of the overall revenue, giving them the impression that the bulk of the company’s revenue must come from another department where they have no visibility. As a bonus, this motivates siloed teams to feel like they need to catchup to the rest of the company, when in reality they might be the main driver of it. It helps to have separate offices and a culture of secrecy to prevent people from comparing notes.

The CEO positions himself as a controlling, micromanaging individual at the center of everything. This makes it possible for the CEO to intercept financials and other crucial numbers en route to people who might catch on.

The rest of the management staff might be filled with people too inexperienced to recognize that something is wrong. They might think the CEO is doing them a favor by giving them a golden opportunity to advance their career into an executive position at a rocket ship startup. They don’t know what they’re doing, but they think it’s okay because the CEO has taken them under his wing.

At scale it becomes difficult to do this without at least a few people being complicit, though. A fraudster usually has several close associates who can be trusted to be in on the fraud or at least look the other way for a while.
