I never took a compilers class during university study and it is my greatest regret. I've since been self learning and it hasn't been easy.

Thanks for advocating for the importance of compilers. This lack of knowledge has been a limiter for me many times. I'd really like to fill a skill gap and be able to write a DSL or a little language to solve a problem.
Yes. Go and look up Tree Sitter and its references.
I don't think the 3 products are serving as diverse a set of use cases as you think...

> The former is a better fit for your entire app stack (think Heroku) while the latter is for ad-hoc.

There's no product reason why App Engine couldn't start deploying custom containers.

> As for Cloud Functions and Cloud Run, the way you deploy is completely different. Cloud Run is strictly meant for containers.

AWS Lambda (arguably the "inspiration" for Cloud Functions) just announced support for custom containers. Cloud Functions could too. And then you essentially have Cloud Run.
Phoenix is a very dry heat, very little humidity. 120F is toasty, but its nothing a pool and margarita can't solve :). Our winters are fantastic. We have 300+ days of sun shine! We are 2-3 hours to the Mexican beaches, 2 hours to snow for snowboard/ski (flagstaff), lots of golf, lots of hiking, lots of Tech work (Motorola was a monster back in its day, Intel has a huge presence, Godaddy, Paypal, the list goes on), Baseball Spring Training is awesome!
Performance is more than just drag racing. The Taycan out performs the Model S on track as well. It's just a better car and, yes, that costs money.

> The ID.3 seems to have a stated range of ~200 miles?

There are 3 usable battery sizes for 3 different range figures: 48kWh (205 miles WLTP), 58kWh (261 miles), and 77kWh (342 miles).
I plan on taking it, but I would be lying if I said I weren't a bit anxious about taking it given it's the first vaccine of its kind.
waiting just because I am not at imminent risk, and other people should take priority
I completely agree. I've been using Slack for a couple years with a couple of niche groups. Besides the occasional small UI changes it has felt dead for a long time. I suppose to make it not feel like that I could get more involved with adding integrations & whatnot. But on the surface it just feels like a dead chat product without any major improvements in a very long time.
Will definitely take it considering my age.

But technically I am already immune for a few months at least as I managed to contract it a few weeks ago.
Fortunately me and the wife did not end up in hospital but it was not a pleasant experience.
Regarding resale tax exemptions: technically, yes! BUT the entity selling to a reseller needs to request and maintain a reseller license to prove that the sold goods went to a reseller with the intent of reselling. If you simply claim exemption from sales tax because you know you're selling to resellers, and don't manage reseller licenses, then you could be in for a world of hurt when audited (which happens much more frequently than it does with income taxes).
Having it and recovering from it still occasionally leaves your body altered/damaged in a way we're not sure how to predict/treat. As far as we can tell, the vaccine does not cause the same amount of damage that actually suffering from the disease can cause.

Getting it early and getting immunity works great for fairly mild things like chicken pox, which is less likely to leave permanent/long term damage. But not for something where so many people report that they've still never fully recovered from even months later.
There are a lot of half-wits, especially in tech, who think reflexive contrarianism is a sure sign of intelligence and wisdom.

What to expect while fundraising in 2021
Right now its 310 YES to 39 NO. From what I've been reading in the (fake?) news, surveys and polls in the USA, I'm actually surprised to see so many yeses.
I think some of this mentality is partially an effect of the flood of cheap black glossy plastic electronics that came in the 00s and 10s. I'm not an expert on plastic formulations, but the variety used for these products is not pleasant to touch, shows fingerprints like crazy, scratches easily, and breaks easily on top of sounding hollow.

The plastics used for electronics in the 90s didn't exhibit these problems as much, generally being thicker with a nice matte textured finish. Perhaps the key to winning the public mind back over to plastic would be to mimic those 90s plastics.
Worse than that. Its AppEngine Standard vs AppEngine Flex vs Cloud Functions vs Cloud Run vs KNative (Cloud Run, but different).

Oh and if you used AppEngine Standard, you can't move to Flex as Flex came with a whole new set of libraries. And Flex to CloudRun didn't exactly have a seamless migration.

Along the way they changed multiple internals with deprecation causing code base changes. Such-as Memecache, ImageAPI, Monitoring price changes.

I can't imagine any enterprise who's used the ecosystem continuing. The sheer number of architecture impacting changes leads to huge operational overhead costs to maintain applications running on this infrastructure.
I don't disagree with this. It is a monopoly problem. However, what this article suggests and a lot of other solutions suggest is patching the symptom and not getting to the root of the problem. We've lost our stomach for stimulating competitive marketplaces and forgotten that a sufficiently competitive market will settle on an optimal outcome. That does mean regulation is required and it does mean that breakups are required. That's treating the root cause and not just the symptom.
You're right. There are undoubtedly many teenage mothers. But we need to look at medians:

The median age for women of first age of birth in the United States is 27.6 years. The average "childbearing years" duration is 5.3 years. If we assume an age of 10 for average increase in independence, we get 27.6 + (5.3/2) + 10 == 40.25 years.
Yeah, none of that is true. See today's news about pressure on the FDA to certify the vaccine.
If someone makes no income, they're not counted in the savings rate is my point. It's like people who do not look for work not being counted as "unemployed"
Thank you for making my point. Not sure why I'm replying, as its wholely offtopic

- Nuclear, i think you should read up why people are against it. ( spoiler, it isn't the science... but maybe you should think about who can do it effectively vs the potential risks of doing it wrong... or you know, the imbalance of global power when only a few countries could generate.. well, power )

- GMO, again, same point above. "Sure you can have this great crop, no seeds". Again, GMO per say isn't bad, its the implementation that's bad.

- Gender science. Stop worrying about what other people do with their life, worry about your life my fellow human.

- Nature vs nurture. Sure, an argument that goes back B.C., and now you think this is a conservative vs liberal? Wait, is this Paleo conservatism? lol

Again, not even relating to the argument at hand. There's no "true" side in any of these, as two of them are well, not science. And the other two, will continue to evolve with science. But nice try :)

Oh... and thank you for taking the quote of a comedian ( and my quip, so seriously). Any arguments about the first one?
Yes, and it's not exceedingly rare https://www.chop.edu/centers-programs/vaccine-education-cent...
That's how I used to host my static sites but then I switched to Netlify because the UX for me as developer was just so much nicer.

Maybe there's a way to also setup git sync with S3 buckets, but with netlify this is the default. And it's just so comfy to deploy with every git push.

Also using any of the other netlify add-ons (forms, cloud functions) is super quick and simple. Something that I (admittedly an ops noob) can't say about AWS.
It seems like we're saying the same thing, except that I am claiming it is unremarkable, or trivial. People with more resources have been outbidding people with fewer resources since forever, and whether they're from China or California or Kansas or the other side of town is irrelevant.
I think there needs to be updated thought leadership on what qualifies as "common carrier" and what doesn't.

Whether gov't or private, if a platform is primarily promoted as an open communication channel then I think that some, if not all, aspects of "common carrier" laws should apply.

Social media platforms would not have the trust and would not have been adopted as quickly if they started off censoring as much as they do now. In that regard, they presented themselves as open and impartial, then shifted once they achieved sufficient critical mass.
Do you have a few qualms with this News Reader?
Well that is way better than a week and half in bed feeling like death warmed over.
The context of SF and Austin are obviously entirely different in terms of direction, momentum, it makes sense Austin wouldn't yet have a great public transportation system.

Austin TX wasn't rich 20 years ago, where was the money going to come from to build a nice transportation network? It's booming at present and will be very rich 20 years from now (most likely). It has a bad transportation network because it was underdeveloped for the prior decades as with much of Texas. The question going forward is what they'll do with their growth and rising affluence, how they'll utilize that (or not).
I’m in the same boat. I had it and it was super mild so I already...

- have very likely immunity or at least a much better response the next time

- despite having been exposed to it the first time having had super mild symptoms so I don’t need protection from a non threat

- coronaviruses mutate a lot slower and people who had sars-cov-1 still had a t-cell immunity even 10 years after their infection and there is little reason to believe that sars-cov-2 couldn’t be similar

Given that I won’t be offered the vaccine for a long time I luckily don’t have to decide and know that I won’t have it at least until enough production testing was done.
> 3. Vibrant tech and VC community - not at the same level as SV but a not-too-distant second-or-third.

Uh, no.

Austin has a lousy VC community. There are countless articles about it.

And, as for tech, for software it's mainly only Tivoli alums--and a lot of the best ones decamped for greener (read: better salary not in Austin) pastures. IBM as a technical presence has been gone forever (the Advanced Workstation Division was quite amazing and IBM Somerset was one of the PowerPC development arenas). Apple just came in so hasn't spun anybody out yet.
>I love biking/walking around the Oracle campus area because they made a bike path and the area is safer than it was before.

That general area of the Town Lake trail was always my starting point for runs. My favorite “section” was definitely the trail on either side of the dam. I would park in the lot across the lake from the now Oracle campus and start most of my runs there. I ran thousands of miles with that as my starting point (I was training for ultramarathons) and never felt unsafe. That started in 2010 so I can’t speak to safety before then.

I liked the character of those neighborhoods and everything they had to offer. The JuiceLand on Cesar Chavez always brought out the most interesting characters in various states of mind on Saturday and Sunday mornings. There was always a pickup basketball game going at the Metz Neighborhood Park, and sometimes I would take a break there to refuel and watch for a few baskets. The Oracle campus is on the other side of the lake from there but I think it still had an influence on the neighborhood even that far removed. I won’t say it was a completely negative influence, but it definitely made things less interesting to me. The east side in general was trending in that direction though, so I’m sure it wasn’t all at the feet of Oracle.

I don’t live in Austin now. It was nice to reminisce about long runs on Town Lake so thanks for that!
> As Matt Stoller notes in his newsletter “BIG“, Microsoft has a track record of giving “away its new product for no or low cost to existing clients, and [bundling] it with existing product lines. In a society with functional antitrust laws, such activity would be illegal.”

That's ridiculous. According to that logic, neither Office (nor Google Workspace, formerly G Suite) should be allowed to exist -- you'd be forced to buy Word, Excel, and PowerPoint all separately.

Or by the same logic, an OS shouldn't be allowed to have any applications at all -- not even a calculator app, because that would be anticompetitive against other calculator apps.

In what universe should Microsoft not be allowed to add a chat component to their office productivity suite? When that's clearly an essential component of such suites these days? Sheesh.

Slack has had an amazing outcome. And awesome products, historically, tend to be absorbed by large corporations simply because it's more efficient and therefore profitable for everyone involved. There's nothing wrong with that.
All of the examples. SpaceX is up against companies that made single-use rockets for decades.

But the AirPods Max may have a technical differentiator (not even just an Apple logo!) — AFAIK they’re the first wireless headphones without an on/off switch! (perhaps some of the earlier ones that don’t work once Apple stops replacing the batteries, as well?)
I'll take it as soon as I have access to it. I'm ok even with the Oxford/AstraZeneca one. I'd be ok even with the Russian one (I live in the US, so there's pretty much zero chance this would become available here).

If it's available from private clinics for hundreds of dollars before it's available for free, I wouldn't take it. I'll wait until my turn comes for the free vaccine.

PS: I fully trust the FDA. Once they give their authorization, I have no hesitations to take the vaccine. It goes without saying that I wouldn't take the Oxford/AstraZeneca or any other vaccine if it hasn't received the FDA EUA.
Pretty sure this is the discussion that happened in Blackberry and Nokia HQs when the iphone was announced
It would be perfect if the autonomy worked well in the dark, then it could just work at night and then charge during the day.
Yeah I'd say HN is more dem-left on average with some ansoc leanings.

Might be fun to do a poll though.
Yes, definitely as soon as I'm able. I won't be in the first batch since I'm not in the medical field. I think the majority of issues will be worked out by that point. I don't plan to change my behavior much until we reach herd immunity, but it will be nice not to have to worry as much about getting the disease.
The supply of housing isn't a problem in Texas, but "supply and demand" isn't the end of the story. When two Texans want the same house, a bidding war is artificially capped (at, say $300k) because that's all the average Texan can afford. But when a Californian moves in with high net worth and a higher paying job, they can bid much higher, and they don't mind doing so (the mindset I have personally heard from most CA transplants to Dallas is that they don't care if they paid more than the average Texan pays, because at the end of the day they're still paying less than half what they were paying in CA).

And then there's the issue of property taxes. A Texan lives in his nice $250k house and pays $X/year in property taxes. Then someone comes in and buys the house next to them for $400k/yr. Suddenly this neighborhood is now appraised at a much higher value than before, and the Texan's property taxes are now twice as high, bordering on the edge of unaffordable. I've personally seen several people be priced out of an area due to this.
Soooo there's actually one really cool thing you can do: run additional copies of Bolo with "brains" like aIndy, Brainwave or so on which act as actual players (sometimes a lot better than actual players haha) ... This was another really fascinating feature of Bolo that many other multiplayer games never had. So you can have simulated multiplayer! Worth a try!
Show me one double blind efficacy study of any vaccine.

It's never been done that I have seen.

Just 126 congressmen and what is it now, 17 Republican Attorney Generals demanding the Supreme court vacate the election and hand it to the lame duck president?
Pregnant women or women who are planning on becoming pregnant should not have it according to UK government guidelines. That’s a pretty good reason to click NO.
This might seem extreme, but I think we should allow people to make up their own minds about what is truth and what is not. They are very clear cases for censorship (direct threats of violence for example) but Questioning the outcome of an election should not be one of them. Somehow we’ve allowed corporations to be the arbiters of truth in this nation, enter control the reins of communication.
There are some diseases where the vaccine is more efficient at promoting an immune response than the actual disease.

Tetanus is the most well-known example here. That's why it makes sense to vaccinate you even after potential exposure.
That's similar to mine. I will get it as soon as I can, but I'm also glad that "when I can" is not "first".
Ah, that sucks. I should have assumed as much since almost maritime work is not great until you get way up the chain.

Most hourly positions with longer hours are nice. I have a buddy in construction that would make great money with all the extra hours. Any salary or daily pay stuff is not cool.
>Apple specifically designed their platform for censorship. That's why so many people hate it.

Which business with UGC is censorship proof?

Isn't that the issue? Nobody has come up with a way to accomplish that. Does anyone have any constructive ideas on this?
Interest rates would skyrocket because the default risk of lendees just went up a lot. I'm not a fan of this idea, the debt market will figure out a way to be compensated all the same (or else refuse to provision debt, which is also a bad outcome).
Sure, TIV has appearing weak and BDP has rages but since you didn't state that explicitly, I wondered if you'd omitted it because it wasn't present in those people you knew.

I kind of wonder though, if the way we end up classifying these things is unreasonably influenced by the existing classifications which maybe just sort of coalesced from observations that psychologists have made of their patients. Since they're often things that people won't get treated or don't even think of as disorders. The data must be very biased and flakey.
Actually, App Engine is a LOT like Cloud Functions/Run. You have some code that you want to run in the Cloud and you don't want to worry about server ops.

Whether that's your "whole stack" or something "ad-hoc" is a totally arbitrary distinction. Your "whole stack" will almost certainly involve external concerns, and your "ad-hoc" concerns will almost certainly grow in complexity until they converge on the same spot.

AppEngine is also running containers via gvisor.

The distinction is being driven by PMs and marketers but not by the needs of customers. What end-users need is one well-supported tool, not 8 separate tools with uncertainty about which one will receive future support and matrices and flowcharts to decide between them.
I wanted to hate this post. But then I had to acknowledge that what he's saying basically true.

Except for a small handful of programmers who are really, really good - in the scheme of things (at least as far as those who run the company are concerned) the vast majority of us are, to use Blade Runner terminology - "little people".
Hey mate, first, kudos for all the work you've put into developing Mojeek up to this level. That seems like an enormous achievement for such a small team as yours.

Then, I'm wondering do you guys have the notion of "product brands" or something like that?

For example, when I search for "SaaSHub" - a product (I work on) that has been online since 2014 and have quite a few mentions around the web, the first result is some "random" Wordpress theme. i.e. if I'm searching for a particular product, I'd expect the product homepage to be the first result.
for folks with a strong opinion on this, how do you square your opinion on youtube censorship with your opinion on net neutrality? youtube censorship is okay but isp censorship is bad? i have multiple isps available to me without any change to the quality of my life, but no comparable alternative to youtube.
And I did it wrong. I thought you had to enter 1,2, or 3 in the text box...

After seeing my comment that just had '1' in it, I figured it out.
Thank you. This is the best answer I have received. Maybe even the only real answer.

I say education is an answer to a question. Figure out the question and the knowledge becomes easy to acquire.

Your answer lets me realize I may already know at least 60% of what is taught. The other 40% will be explored on a daily basis.
AnyDSL (https://anydsl.github.io/) might be worth mentioning, it is a framework for creating domain specific languages using partial evaluation to give powerful abstractions to the user while still producing high-performance code for different target platforms.
On the website, you can find that they already have DSLs for ray tracing and image stencil codes as well as works for bioinformatics.
Well, dunno if I should explain my reasoning but here goes...

For the same reason I never got a rabies vaccine until having to work in close proximity with rabid animals. Up until that point, my chances of dying from rabies were pretty slim to none.

Likewise, my chances of severe complications, death, or even experiencing any symptoms at all are slim to none. The at risk people around me will be likely vaccinated, so i'm not putting them at risk.

Now, the rabies vaccine came with some known risk, a bit higher than others, hence why it's only given to people who request it or need it.

This covid vaccine is brand new, rushed, the manufacturers are legally exempt from liability for damages the vaccines cause most places in the world and it's a mostly new technology not really tested or used before.

There are potential side effects, these side effects are potentially long term and severely debilitating and despite being a low risk, it's still a higher risk for me than experiencing anything terrible from covid.

So, why put myself at some unknown risk from some unknown thing over something that, is more than likely not, going to cause me severe problems?
I think you are misinterpreting their post.

They are saying that vaccine-induced immunity is not likely to be more effective than natural immunity (of which we are already uncertain about the effectiveness)
At least in Denver, it's common to see Californians come in and for the first offer drop down 20% over asking. No bidding war. They want to guarantee they get the house _without_ having to deal with a bidding war, and have enough savings that the marginal cost of each of those dollars is less than those living and working in Denver.
I'm imagining an anti-vaxx Bill Gates conspiracy theorist whose day job is a distinguished engineer at Microsoft.
Anyone that uses Electron apps contributes to Chrome adoption.
Many CxO's have same problems. IT is hard to plan. Budgets are moving targets. I know this thread is about the opposite, but this is where I'd recommend someone at your level not try to become an expert budgeter. Find/hire a partner who is even if it's just on a CFO advisory level (can be a more junior person if it's just budgeting, planning, etc; CFO level if more strategic).

Managing people is more of a craft. Approach it the way you would learn to build furniture as a hobby. Gradually over time through practice and experimentation acquiring tools for your shop along the way.
To truly prove the efficacy of a vaccine you would have to intentionally give a test subject the virus to see if the vaccine actually works.

It's not been done once by modern western medicine because it would be unethical by modern medical practices to intentionally infect a person.
