Denial is the only way to cope with how impossible it feels to make any meaningful progress. I mean, the alternative is to sit white-knuckled until I die in a food riot. I am well aware of the changes that are coming, and it's one of many reasons why I'm not having kids: I don't believe progress will continue like it has (which was always unsustainable, even without deleterious effects on the climate), and I think the future earth will be much harder for humans in the short term. Sure, humanity will probably adapt, but millions of people might die in the process.

As a chess player, I was considered to have good memory. It was indeed very good, but multi-branch version control sabotaged it. Now, I'm constantly thinking: "I know I fixed that code before... but on which branch ?"
So I was doing this (storing the main entry point) but it was crashing. I'll have to try again, I suppose.

This can be verified by using the following Sage code (simply go to https://sagecell.sagemath.org/ to avoid installing sage)

show((I - A).inverse() * Matrix([[1/b**2],[1/b**3]]))
> "Protecting" communities by excluding people means that the only people that get in are the wealthiest,

But the manner in which the community is "protected" in this case is by excluding wealthy foreigners who swoop in and pay huge sums over asking, sight unseen, for properties. Not sure how that could be detrimental to someone who isn't wealthy.
I think you're missing a "not" in that parenthetical. Or you really miss going to the office and going grocery shopping?
The good news is that we’ve replaced almost all the homegrown parsers that were written while the tool was at Facebook and we’re using the now tree-sitter project, which already has parsers for 40+ languages. There is a tree-sitter-cpp project we can and will eventually integrate! The bad news is this requires the code to not use heavily macros to be parseable as-is. So really the difficulty is not C++ but rather the pre-processor.
Those are unpaid volunteers. If Mozilla robs them attribution for work (and yes this is work), then what's left?

Specially now that they fired every single paid worker.

They are commercially advertising names, logos, menus, etc not taking random orders from people.
Millennials are screwed twice: once by having the boomers scoop up all the cheap property decades ago, and then again by unrestricted globalism where foreign people with no stakes whatsoever in the local community use housing to park their money and hide it from the CCP.

This isn’t a particularly clever insight, yet many still don’t seem to get it and draw the right conclusions.

To teach professionally, you also need to get whatever credentials the institution requires. I don't think my community college cared too much about formal credentials other than warm body and background check, but my four-year school seemed to prefer a PhD or a masters with industry experience. My kid's school district recently put out a call for substitute teachers which requires a bachelors degree (any field), a background check, and a whole lot of patience (not specifically listed).

Because grubhub also marks up food on their website. Everything is a couple dollars marked up versus if you called the order in directly. Imagine opening an electronics store that sells marked up apple devices without any approval from apple, yet convincing customers that you were a genuine authorized seller. Apple would sue you out of existence before the end of the week, and rightfully so.

The only reason why it took this long for gruphub is that restaurants do not have the legal resources of a company like Apple or Grubhub, not because this isn't fraud (it is).
This is great. I remember studying Calculus in high school in the halcyon days of the early 90's. We spent far too much time working through proofs, and not nearly enough time discussing the actual concepts.

The biggest difference is that the software I keep running in production is 100% made in-house. Previously, I was running a system built on top of open-source software (Hadoop and Kafka, in particular).

It has a lot of benefits:

* we have an influence on the priorities of the project, and make sure our issues are prioritized. You can't be sure of the evolution of an open-source project.

* continuous rollouts. In my previous job each major version bump of Kafka or Hadoop could become a complex migration to plan a long time in advance. Now, we still have migrations to do, but often the scope is smaller and the transition smoother.

* strong culture and policies. We hold ourselves accountable. In my previous job, we would often mitigate incidents and forget about them, not write the post mortem or really root cause the incident. Usually because we knew/believed it would not be solved anytime soon (conflicting priorities, or whatever else). I've never seen an incident swept under the rug at Google.
I think the best approach is not to include any "code of conduct" at all in a project.
There is a (common) theory which states: Memory isn't like a disk drive. When you remember, the brain doesn't just read something from disk.

Instead, when you remember, the information you're remembering is re-summarized and written back, possibly at higher levels of 'compression'. I put that in scare quotes, but when the brain uses references to other memories to reduce the space taken by any single one, compression is what it is.

The theory here, then, is that distraction at (forgive the computer-esque terms) the exact time it's being recompressed and written back out, can disrupt that process and cause it to not be stored properly.

This checks out. Bringing up a memory, distracting yourself and then just... telling yourself it's unimportant... is, indeed, one way to deliberately forget something you'd rather forget.

Used beneficially, you can forget spoilers for a novel. You could even attempt to forget trauma this way, though I don't believe that's nearly as likely to work.

If you just happen to get distracted for other reasons, though? You might forget something you'd rather not.
> He released the details of xkeyscore, which details the system involved with tapping into anyone's personal communication.

No, that is not what xkeyscore is. Xkeyscore is a database for metadata.

And thanks to Snowden's leaks, we now know that these are for tapping communications between foreigners where both foreigners are outside the US.

Within the US, they can only do so by asking the phone company to set up a tap, just like the FBI. Your article does not dispute this.
At this point it feels like Global Warming will be really bad, but also really uneven. Some people will have a really bad time, losing their homes, way of life etc, but a lot of other people won't notice much most of the time.

In addition to the weath-in-pixels visualization you linked, another very damning graph comes from the Fed's research arm:

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=bOfK

This is a plot of median household income in comparison to GDP per household, both in inflation-corrected dollars.

The GDP/household line has been pulling away from the household income line since the 1980s. While a great deal of wealth is being created in America, a decreasing share of it is trickling down into the hands of the median person. The rest of it is disappearing into the pockets of the already very wealthy in general, and the billionaires in particular.

My understanding was that Section 230 was to protect platforms from liability. It was not to create new restrictions on how they must or must not otherwise regulate & shape speech on their platform.

This implication that platforms have to allow anyone to say whatever they want unless it's a certain pre-set class of illegal speech, lest they become some other service class with additional liabilities for speech, seems facetiously misguided & contrary to all evidence there is for how Section 230 was proposed, discussed, and how it describes itself.

Everyone I know in freelancing/consulting, including myself, does almost no work drumming up new customers.

Repeat business from long-term relationships, and word of mouth through referrals are my main source of new customers. I work through an agency that puts new projects in front of me, but most of my customers are long-term, and I got them through contacts.

Among your professional colleagues you have to cultivate a reputation as an honest person who can solve problems, someone who is easy and pleasant to work with. Then people will think of you and recommend you when they hear about an opportunity.

I'm on LinkedIn mainly to keep in touch with people I used to work with, but I have never used LinkedIn to get consulting/freelance work.

I know lots of people trying to freelance struggle with getting jobs. They're all over Upwork and Fiverr and the many other gig sites. That's piecework, it's not the same as consulting. I hire people from those marketplaces sometimes to do small short-term projects.

One goal for freelancers and consultants is to get to the point where you're the only person the customer talked to. You aren't interviewing or submitting proposals. I understand that doesn't sound realistic to someone just starting out, and I admit I had the advantage of decades of professional experience and a lot of contacts. I describe some of my experience on my web site, I don't think I'm particularly unique.
That's very clever.

Everything ends.

Say we end up spreading throughout the universe. Well the universe is just another cell in a larger organism, another node on the tree. It will die too, and so will the body that the universe is inside of.

But if we start "universe hopping" maybe it will take a very long time before we run out of hosts.

That sounds really cool, would it be possible to ignore the macros or can the code not be parsed at all then?
Volunteer work like that that results in visible, attributable output can become part of your resume/portfolio. You can point people to it and say, "Here are a set of articles representative of my work." Much like open source contributions (if you're not the primary maintainer of anything open source).
The CI use case is cool, and probably makes more money. But I would really love to see a CLI for optimized search and replace. It seems that they have search available on the CLI however I can't see any replace. And most of the options are focused on running the rule config instead of adhoc replacements.

The jobs associated with planning and building are clearly a positive in an absolute sense. The counter-point is this positive aspect is very much outweighed by the negative aspects. The housing supply for people who actually need somewhere to live is being limited which drives up the housing prices and rental rates.

Re-reading your comment, it feels like you've missed the point that these units are largely not being made available to the housing market.

LinkedIn is a terrible place to get jobs and a terrible place to look for talent. Many people are very unsatisfied with this site for tech/developers. Often one looks great but once started development it is bad. I have not being developing about half of time as the parent thread author. However, all what he said sounds true!!

I never used a site to find work, always through network or colleagues. They tend to know my capabilities best. Head hunters are horrible people for tech. Buzz word and framework doesn't mean a thing. If you a good developer you can figure out how to do anything! It is how you thing and how you understand stuff and how to solve problems that counts.
As a product designer, it's easy to see through the trend of repackaging old products with new "minimal" branding. Soylent is PediaLyte or Ensure for millenials.

I think people put authoritative sources on too much of a pedestal because it's possible for someone to naively or maliciously edit wikis. People who write official docs are also frequently wrong, and the editing and review cycle there is far slower!

Thanks for all the questions @eloff! I might try to separate responses for hopefully some threading :)

The software in our architecture is actually unified: You spin up K instances of TimescaleDB, log into one of them and then call "add_data_node" to attach others and data nodes, and "create_distributed_hypertable" to make this node the access node _for that particular hypertable_.

In fact, you can explicitly specify different data nodes as the "backend" for different distributed hypertables, e.g., same access node, but data nodes {A, B} for distributed hypertable 1; data nodes {C, D, E, F} are for distributed hypertable 2. You could also have different nodes play the role of access nodes for different hypertables and vice-versa. Lots of flexibility here, although we imagine most users won't need it, so by default your distributed hypertable is created across all connected data nodes.

Now, because these nodes are just running TimescaleDB, if you were to create a regular table or even a regular (non-distributed) hypertable on that access node, it would be just stored locally. Then, any JOIN between the distributed hypertable data and regular table happens transparently on the access node.

Now, that's what in the current release, but not surprisingly, we plan to add support for better local JOINs. For regular tables, one approach will likely be to provide an option to replicate the table on all data nodes, so that you can perform the JOINs locally (and because TimescaleDB 2.0 already supports 2PC for individual rows across data nodes to support replication factors > 1, that machinery somewhat already exists). A second approach for regular tables that are also partitioned -- particularly if using the same "space" partitioning key as your distributed hypertable -- is to collocate partitions of the regular table across the data nodes, so that JOINs on the space partition keys (e.g., server_id, user_id, etc.) can again be local.
That's not quite accurate. Soy contains phytoestrogen, which is a plant estrogen, not a human estrogen. It's similar in many ways and does have (in a much weaker form) some of the effects of human estrogen. However, just calling it "estrogen" implies that it's the same as human estrogen. It isn't.
