>This is a great enabling tool for non tech folks who 99% of the time need a basic CRUD app

I always see this, but can you name a single popular app that is just a "basic CRUD", with no specific business logic?

I'm not saying it doesn't exist but I genuinely cannot think of a single one
This is great, glad to see reddit leading on this front. I do wonder what effect this would have on metro areas with high COL if more companies adopted this policy. Mass exodus? Probably not. But I imagine the effect will at least be measurable.
I am not an INim user. [0] covers INim as of a few months ago, though. You might need to write to a .jpg and point a web browser at it, but perhaps that could be made auto-magic (EDIT: or is already).

I worked at a company were someone deleted the production RDS and all the snapshots.

Typing the confimation and requesting to delete the snapshots.

He had two brosers open, one for development (of cloudformation, etc)... but someone did ask him to change a thing in prod.

Both browsers were identical. Only the account in the top right corner did change.

Both cloudformation stacks were identical (instance names, etc).

He had been all the morning launching and deleting the dev environment.

Team mates were joking loud around his table before the moment it did happen.

Sadly, he got fired (the company was proud of it's cost savy choices, didn't have other backups than a few days of snapshots, probably CTO choice).
Git can be cloned via HTTP and it's so easy to set up that people have accidentally done it. There are loads of web shops that accidentally disclosed source code by way of having their Git deploy repo in their Apache webroot. You could literally "git clone http://poorsuckersblog.com/" and get everything.
Precisely. The RIAA (along with the other copyright Associations of America) is a front to suck up bad publicity.

In this case, I would not be surprised if Google was ultimately driving the push to get rid of youtube-dl using the RIAA as a proxy, both for PR purposes and because the RIAA has a semi-plausible claim to legal standing.

Youtube has ramped up its consumer abuse policies lately, such as the begging screen that demands unauthenticated users log in and requires four clicks to dismiss, and it would not be even remotely surprising if Google is also working to get rid of tools that allow people to watch YouTube videos without being subjected to advertising abuse.
> The only thing stopping me from going all-in on paying for Polar and using it as the "hub" of my reading (mostly technical docs, long-form blogs, whitepapers, and textbooks) is the lack of tie-in with E Ink readers, which I vastly prefer for reading and note-taking over computer screens.

> IMO, this is the killer final piece of the puzzle and would keep my reading and note-taking in one wonderfully organized place, which is something I'm 100% interested in paying for and supporting.

The plan here is to support tablets (Surface, iPad, etc) very well and have very tight integration.

Stay tuned ;)
It's seamless to the experiencer (you don't experience the moments or the objects unexperienced), but not necessarily at a 1 to 1 correspondence with properties of the world. Discontinuities in time is a good example.
Sure, just a tic from my sculpture degree, where subjective claims like "most people thought it was an eyesore" or "I think it's an eyesore" resulted in a more cordial discussion than objective claims like "it was an eyesore", because the former are more open to questions like "what do you mean by 'eyesore'?"
Introduction to Homotopy Type Theory
Your answered yourself there. It's not only about input focus, it could be anything really, like loading state, form values, progress indicator, etc. People will be basically building yet another framework at the end. React is not the only solution, there are plenty of lighter alternatives. OP's solution is just very type-unsafe.
I find this concept of knowledge encoded by language very interesting. Is there any author you can point to that follows this idea?
I love spreadsheeting in org-mode. It's been very useful at work for sharing complex processes with QA and other devs. With org-babel and SQL I can extract DB data into org tables, manipulate them like a spreadsheet and then do additional things with the result.

Honestly I learned it for my own edification, but it turns out literate programming IS useful in the real world. Sometimes.
Could you expand on what you mean by that? I assume you don't mean someone giving someone else the middle finger.
You ever hear the saying "Ted Kaczynski never played Monopoly." (it might have been a different board game - I forget the saying TBH. I heard it in passing at a bar one night when I was saying how I should be working instead of hanging out) I think it has to do with the fact that we all need to decompress sometimes. If all you do is something important 100% of the time, your going to end up being a crazy person. People need a valve release.
That's $13,333,333.33/oz, if you charge the whole cost to sample collection. They also get plenty of other science observations, but the main point was sample return.

Apollo brought back 842lb of samples for something like $260 billion (inflation adjusted), that being $19,299,287.41/oz.

Of course, science was basically a side-effect of Apollo, so you can't really charge it all to sample collection. But if you did, the moon rocks are pricier.
> companies that value people and broad skills

This. They're out there. I had to go through a lot of them to get to where I am now and the journey has been worth it. Also, there are lots of little tricks that you can use to make the journey more comfortable. Some of it is technical and some of it is EQ-related/interpersonal. It's very important to step outside the box and think about what kind of work you could be proud of achieving, and then you can take steps toward honing the skills that will get you there.

For instance, an example of little things that make your job related duties more streamlined will surprise you with how much of a difference it makes for making the daily routine more enjoyable. It really adds up.

The example: We have to fill in timesheets every 2 weeks. Well I sat down one day and spent an hour writing a bookmarklet in js that autofills the timesheet, hacking through the silly event handlers so I don't have to manually click and type on 20 cells. I even had to come back to it a few months later to add in logic to handle PTO and Holidays... I'm so glad I wrote it. Shared it with my coworkers too, which greatly increased its return on investment.
How do you define one location? If it's like, a contiguous plat of land with a bunch of buildings, each containing suites, and each of those containing clusters... then these days, yeah, that's probably not too much of a stretch.

And yeah, physical machines, not VMs. Sometimes they're blades, sometimes they're sleds, but I mean real hardware made out of metal that you can pick up and use to defend the datacenter if you have to.

(Although, honestly, I was talking about global counts in the million+ range when I wrote it since it was referencing the past, but by now, a region with a million+ is not far-fetched.)
Don't worry, we have now identified tau tangles. This must be the root cause, since it is unfathomable that a complex neurodegenerative disease could have complex causes. Now that we have identified [insert misfolded protein candidate here], we can finally create a mouse models with the protein broken, then fix the protein, and then announce a cure. /s

Just so that this comment has something constructive in it - I'll add that I think it's important to understand that scientists are human and are also drawn by the allure of oversimple explanations for complex issues. For alzheimers, of the cause was a single protein or gene or something we already understand, we would have found it already. This isn't some ultra rare disease where nobody is looking. Its hard to say "I dont know," but that's the truth. The answer to this is going to come out of some obscure basic research that doesn't even seem obviously tied to neurology yet - and whatever team is working on it is going to have no idea how important their work is and is still going to get a great "I told you so!" moment out of it with regards to all the people asking them if their research has any practical purpose right now.
Nothing wrong with having different learning priorities. Just be honest about it instead of putting yourself down & normalizing learned helplessness.
Mobilizon is written in Elixir because it is based on Pleroma, a Mastodon-compatible/Mastodon-alternative server for the Fediverse. Elixir isn't one of the most popular langs out there, but it is far from being a "niche" language.

Okay that was a lot of words. Maybe I should explain for those less familiar:

Users on the Fediverse can interact without being aware of the fact that their servers are running completely different software. While Fediverse members such as Mastodon take inspiration from Twitter, others have different focuses: Peertube is YouTube inspired, Pixelfed is Instagram-inspired, and some like Pleroma are kinda doing their own thing imo.

I personally prefer Pleroma to Mastodon, as evidenced from my bio; it's lightweight, easier to set up, and has a great variety of first- and third-party front-ends (including a lightly-modified version of the Mastodon front-end and a Gopher-accessible one).

It appears that Mobilizon devs wanted to create a new Fediverse server with a different focus: something that warranted writing a back-end based on Pleroma instead of just creating a new Pleroma front-end. Basing off Pleroma was a good choice because unlike Mastodon, Pleroma is lightweight enough to run off a singe-board computer like a Raspberry Pi. Being written in Elixir definitely has a lot to do with this.
Ha! Under the influence of certain psychotropics, your ability to do functional planning would be diminished, but the number of creatures that you thought worthy of your empathy might well grow. :-)
I do envy the founding fathers who got into their disciplines at the ground floor. I feel like there is so much I do not understand precisely because I cannot create it.
The more difficult form of the question is “wtf does that person think they’re doing!?” People are weird. It’s not enough to think at a human level in easy conditions.

You have to think at human level in corner cases, like seeing an object fly into view and judge whether someone is likely to be chasing it into the street, which depends on knowing what the object is and how it fits into people’s lives.
I've been wanting to go towards category theory, homotopy type theory, etc. but I realized I need more abstract/algebraic geometry and then I need some topology, etc before category theory so I have more examples of morphisms to draw from.

Right now I'm mostly studying linear algebra and some combinatorics. Very interested in linear operators and the relationship between differential/finite difference operator, falling/rising factorials, stirling numbers, bernoulli numbers, etc.

I'm hoping math will get me a more interesting job than java programmer but I enjoy the math for its own sake anyways.
As an architectural building block we have been stuck with Firewalls, IDS etc. We need a new kind of isolation device –
an air-gapped one-way data transmission gate – that can sit between critical safety control systems and their monitoring systems. These read-only monitoring systems can be connected to networks (presumably reachable to hackers through some means). As long as the safety control systems cannot be modified by any means, these types of failures should not happen.

Also, irrespective of software safety, for a system like this grid power generator why can't they design physical safety relays/cutoffs? If the generator sped up beyond it's tolerances, it could cut-off. Why should it generate shocky torque that can damage the rubber grommets? That could be prevented by design?
The problem with doing something like that manually is that it’s painful at scale, and easy to forget. If scale isn't an issue, sure roll your own. But for my uses, I’m more likely to use tooling as a default, preview, then override when the preview doesn’t do what I want/expect.
Players tend to think of them less as a game and more as a giant simulation. There may be rules that are overpowered or underpowered but in a simulation so large they don't move the needle that much on the final outcome.

Does anyone know of any attempts at a "systems engineering" approach to teaching history?

So instead of a learning objective like "able to discuss the economic and political forces at work in the late Roman Empire", perhaps more like "has a feel for caloric restriction, starvation and famine in human history"? More human history as root causes analysis, than history as Trial Pursuit. And thus freed from the interminable obfuscating worry over just which particular measured mix of pervasive patterns of cause occurred in some trivially particular wherewhen. Fine for historians, but a distraction from introducing humanity as a system. More patterns of migration, than say Syrian migration in end Bronze Age collapse, or Mongols, or early 20th C, or early 21st, or etc. A more veterinary school approach to teaching history, focused on crosscutting patterns, because you've too many diverse critters to do old-style medical school's rote memorization of one critters's trivia. Any thoughts?
Well this assumes the management cost (or inefficiency) does not go up for remote, which is unclear.

While `git add --patch` and `git add --interactive` have somewhat steep learning curves, they do offer the ability to edit hunks of diffs without needing to pretend you are writing an email to yourself.

There is a more general idea here: why don't we efficiently allocate resources, when we know that we could?

Why is the fashion industry so big? Apparently it causes >10% of carbon emissions. 85% of used clothes end up in the dump.

Why is marketing so big? It has long since surpassed the point where it simply matches products with demand. The best marketing is designed to create demand. I view that as a market inefficiency.

The human emotional system has been tuned for local optimization and self benefit.

Material is covered by fair use and can be used legally in that way. Takedowns are for copyrighted material being distributed to provide immediate relief, the yt-dl projects code is not owned by riaa therefore riaa is abusing the legal mechanism.
No, the point is that Tesla isn't learning from the data it collects. It keeps having the same problems over and over again.

And that problem gets worse with increasing data, not better, because the useless data will drown out the important data.
Maybe its me but I am personally more of a text person, dont like to watch long videos if not needed, so if there is some summary or text at every activity that would definitely help me evaluate choose. Definitely see this as a pain point right now with everyone wfh!
I flagged this because a direct link to a book on Amazon without any explanation in the comments as to what it's about and why it's been posted here feels a bit shady.
This is the same argument against basic and theoretical research. Why spend your time studying obscure insects and animals when you could be doing something worth while? Why study pure math or chase strange theorems that often have no application to anything relevant what so ever?

Because these endeavors all lead to novel tools and learnings that are at times applicable in surprising ways to help solve "whatever important problem."

For example, number theory, on its face, seems completely useless, and since 1800 BCE, years were "wasted" by scholars toying with useless factoring problems...

...until we got RSA cryptography in the 1970s.

If I had lived in the year 1900, I could have never imagined number theory having such immensely important applications, but in 2020, I sure as hell believe AlphaGo and these game solvers have relevance because it's already bearing fruit.

AlphaGo, for one, inspired many application papers. My favorite example though is of a neural net trained to solve CSPs through sudoko which was applied to the inverse protein folding problem! https://ostrokach.gitlab.io/project/proteinsolver/
In reality, I dont think $100/m for high speed internet is too insane for for even low income rural homes. The competition costs more or at least similar to starlink, but delivers a lesser product, i know from my own hellish experiences of living in rural America. I honestly think all but the most impoverished rural homes will considered starlink affordable and reasonable.

That being said, your question sparked my interest, so here is some back of the napkin math.

Currently spaceX launches 60 satellites per launch.
Each satellite is estimated to be roughly $250k (Exact cost not known),
An estimated rocket cost of $50m (for used)
So roughly $65mil per 60 sats, or 1.08mil per sat cost.
Each sat has an estimated lifespan of 5 years

So 65mil / 60 / 5 = ~$217,000/y per sat, not including personal costs for support, ground base stations, etc.

Currently there are 900 sats in orbit, I believe they are currently approved for 12,000 sats, but want to go up to 30,000 sats.

So for the current constellation they need $195mil/y or just under 165,000 customers at the $99/m (165,000 * 99 * 12)

For the 12,000 cluster, they would need to make 2.6bil per year, or 2.2mil customers at the $99/m (2,200,000 * 99 * 12)

For the 30,000 cluster, they would need to make 6.5bil per year, or 5.5mil customers at the $99/m (5,500,000 * 99 * 12)

For comparison, comcast has roughly ~28mil customers for internet.
Rural america is ~60mil people in total (census.gov) (not counting vacation or secondary houses from non rural americans)
so starlink's break even on rural subscribers only would be just under 10% of rural America. (lets call the cush government contracts a wash for operational costs for people and hardware on the ground?)
Note that ONLY 5.5mil Americans ( <2% of Americans) would fund all of the hardware cost and launch costs. Every other person in every other country around the world would theoretically be profit?
Have you tried penciclovir? Works like a charm for me, albeit topically, I don't know if it's available for systemic treatment.
This is such a bad idea, why would someone earning 150k in sf should earn the same in Deroit? It will just increase the price of living in cheaper area which will create the same problem as in SF, you work in IT you're ok otherwise life gets too expensive.
CIA plot led to huge blast in Siberian gas pipeline:

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/...

Leaked extracts in yesterday's Washington Post describe how the operation caused "the most monumental non-nuclear explosion and fire ever seen from space" in the summer of 1982.

"In order to disrupt the Soviet gas supply, its hard currency earnings from the West, and the internal Russian economy, the pipeline software that was to run the pumps, turbines and valves was programmed to go haywire after a decent interval, to reset pump speeds and valve settings to produce pressures far beyond those acceptable to pipeline joints and welds," Mr Reed writes

Part of the problem is that even if the code gets reinstated, the RIAA may just pressure Google into changing its method of protection.

Hey, this is Jaleh, co-founder of Mutiny (YC 2018) and employee 12 / ex head of marketing at Gusto. Founders and marketing teams always ask me for the latest hacks to speed up their company growth. My answer is always: 'tactics don't matter, focus on moving fast'. Sure, but what does that really mean and how do you get there? This First Round article outlines my framework for how to fundamentally speed up marketing. It talks through how to set goals, identify hidden assumptions in your marketing ideas, how to set up dashboards that drive speed, and offers examples along the way. It's all based on things I have learned and tried during my time scaling SaaS companies. I have talked about this topic at SaaStr and other conferences - the Q/A is usually pretty heated. So what questions / concerns do you have?

"A14 comes in at a cool 78% effective transistor density when compared to theoretical density." Wowsers. Apparently SRAM is the limiting factor.
Best practice for using the "weaponized" version of the tool when you had powers to actually hit all of them at once was to paste the command into IRC and get some of your fellow peeps to eyeball it and make sure it was sane.

The article says that Apple isn't making full use of the 5nm process node, and blames lack of SRAM scaling for it (presumably due to the large amount of L3 cache).
