I've been running up against this lately. It's a really hard lesson to learn for some of us. Code as a medium just caters way to much to perfectionist tendencies, to the point where you may not even come to see them as a problem.
Emerging Technology Themes to watch out for in 2021
25 engineers isn’t a small team. If you want to push code with 25 people working on one codebase, some kind of interface will need to be put up between all of them. CI becomes a pretty big challenge too.

I don’t think you can expect the complexity of the code to stay contained to just the code at that point - it will leak into the infra. Fighting it just means you will have more debt to pay down later.
I've used Nextcloud. Auto-upload from your phone is nice, but I haven't found a way to share arbitrary groups of photos except by copying them into a folder and sharing the folder. Also, thumbnail generation is slow and I haven't put in the time to try to speed it up.

I haven't used PhotoPrism, but wanted to toss it out there as an alternative.

Thanks!

I suppose you must have some sort of automation that notifies you when the same comment is posted twice, or at least posted twice on submissions of the same name & url? I submitted earlier without a ton of success, so when I saw it on the front page this evening I went and copied in my previous comment. Wondering what the method is for identifying that, unless it is too secret to share...

How does it perform with huge collections? https://github.com/Webreaper/Damselfly claims staying fast even with 4+TB 500,000 photo collection.
I guess based on https://github.com/yarrick/iodine ? You could also run your own server.
A quantum computer with real amplitudes is not an analog computer. The two are quite different. Note that a quantum computer with real amplitudes is actually just as powerful as one with complex amplitudes; the complex amplitudes are actually inessential.

Also, your answer to the second question fails to distinguish a quantum computer from a classical probabilistic computer. The key here is really cancellation of amplitudes, not the larger state space.
In that case, almost every VC backed startup would be illegal.
hmm yes i think you are right. That's what i will do
No, their revenues go up not their profits.

I understand you have a link with the word "profits." WaPo is misusing the term. Profits are revenues after expenses and the numbers in that graph are not taking certain expenses into account. When the expenses are taken into account the profit drops to zero.

Specifically, one of the big expenses deducted before calculating tax was liquidation of employee stock options. And guess what? Instead of being taxed at the corporate income tax rate those options were taxed as individual income for the employees who exercised them -- an even higher rate!

In your example the gains were in fact taxed. The tax was just applied in a different place than where you're happening to look.
> He's unbothered by what others might consider failures of adoption ...his composition Fantasia Apocalyptica...

He somehow figured out I liked Bach and so a couple of years ago played me some of it (a recording) then we went over the score. He is a much better organ player than I could ever hope to be! Naturally the score was designed to reflect the book of revelation, so you could see elements of music that keyed off that text but it's sort of conventional and unconventional at the same time. It was fun to read as the music is sort of witty, but I don't think I'd enjoy listening to the whole thing.

I've only known two people who had organs at home, Alan Kay and Don Knuth. Steve Jobs bought a house in Woodside that had an organ in it, but I heard he removed it. I never heard that he played music himself.

Sorry society doesn't get to declare an arbitrary "living wage" target for entitlement eligibility and then claim I'm mooching off society when I can't afford to pay their made-up number.

If society wants to mandate a $16.09/hr wage, then it will have to accept that jobs that are not worth $16.09/hr will disappear, and we'll have more people with no income at all to deal with.
I would argue that html5 game toolchains today are FAR more niche than Flash was in its prime--I'm not even sure I'd know how to write that job description. Keep in mind that Flash wasn't just solo indie devs--I used it personally on teams of up to 25-30 people for Facebook games and knew people working on much larger teams.

Battery life wasn't really a thing I worried about before smartphones came along, so I'm not sure that's super relevant (although, if you want to pick that fight, Unity on mobile is a real battery killer). Security was rough, but I think I'd trade a bit of security to ditch the walled gardens we have today.

I do think things are better in most ways for users. Because Flash portals didn't require a download, it was MUCH easier to try new things. This led to a virtuous cycle of people making weird shit. Because so much game content is gated behind app stores these days, you have to download a thing and then wade through permission/notification screens and it's too much of a cognitive burden compared to "oh, that looks neat." (Toss on that app stores are horrible for discovery). I think the way most people discover (mobile) games these days is through ads, and if a game is running ads they're a large company with plans to extract $5-$10+ out of you...

So we've traded big catalogues of free games with crappy banner ads for walled gardens that depend on ads for discovery of exploitative IAP skinner boxes.
Upcoding was done for ages, conceivably your TV might have some more clever algorithm than cubic.

But never in a million years will upcoding recreate the picture that was there in the original. It can create some new detail of its own, yes.
That sounds understandably very painful. I have some sympathy for what you're going through. My own advisor was an asshole. He referred me to an internship, and then after I interviewed and they were ready to hire me, he changed his mind and threatened to kick me out if I took said internship.

You will find a job eventually. It's probably just difficult to get your foot in the door because everyone is looking for industry experience. That first job is the hardest, but the next one after that will be much easier to find, believe me.

My advice would be to persist. If you're having dark thoughts, you may want to consider antidepressants. They helped me when I was down. I can vouch for escitalopram/lexapro. I would at the very least suggest avoiding that hillside if it's a trigger for suicidal ideation. Pick a safer route for the time being.

Keep applying. Maybe settle for a less amazing job for the time being, just to pay the bills. Once you have a job, it will be much easier to get another job. You'll be in a better position to negotiate. You can settle for an OK job, and keep looking for your ideal job while not having to worry about making rent.

If you want someone to talk to, I can be that person. I wish you the best, and as cliche as it sounds, hang in there!

The company is called "apple", not "fruit".

As I understand it, the government used to lend money for student loans, but it doesn't do so any longer.

"Federal student loans" are nothing more than a public front for private loan companies. Sounds familiar to another intensely politicized system...

My parents told me federal student loans (actually from the government) had a fraction of a percent interest when they went to college in the late 80's, although neither of their families had any money to speak of.

I'm different in that my parents worked their way (along with a fair amount of luck) to teetering on the edge of entering the upper middle class.

They didn't have enough money to send all of their kids to college, but were able to pay for the non-tuition expenses we couldn't cover ourselves on school jobs.

I don't know what student loans would have looked like for a family in an equivalent position in the late 80's.

My main hope is that barring some form of socialized education system happening in the next 20+ years that I'm able to pay for the educations of any future kids of mine without severely hurting myself financially, and succeed in raising them in such a way where they understand and appreciate the gravity of such a thing.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but when I read three or four people on a thread all agreeing with each other, I become suspicious. It doesn’t seem how normal conversations go.

It probably just is my quirk, does anyone else share this gut feeling?
Have you seen the TV show "In the Name of the People"?

There should be a law banning this offloading of expenses directly to the customers. Uber earns enought to pay it's drivers fairly. It's basically doing what the super car manufacturers did when EU slapped them with penalty for fuel ineffeciency, they just transferred it to the customers by raising the prices of the cars.
Some of those concerns look legit. Some of them seem like incredible nitpicking. I need to go try a Lexus or something so I can appreciate what a truly perfect car is like lol.

> Do this over and over, and ultimately, nobody's left at the bottom.

You talk about an ‘income scale’ and moving people from the ‘bottom’ of it. What do you think happens if you take the bottom 10 people on the scale and move them up 10 places?
If I have a list I can only use once, how can I get its length? In Rust, read-only borrows accomplish that, but I don't see a counterpart in Haskell. I feel like getting the length of a list shouldn't count as "using" it.
That’s untrue. Null hypotheses are indeed typically “defaults” - for example, assuming, prior to any evidence, that X has no correlation with Y in the population. If you want to put it in a Bayesian framework, scientists cannot avoid priors any more than anybody else.
Correct me if I'm wrong. STUN/TURN is the one that is doing the UDP punching. And in the event that fails, all the data are being passed through the STUN/TURN server, which makes it just like client/server setup where the server became the bottle neck again.
So Flash and HTML/JS are how I got into programming at the age of 8, and I completely disagree with your comment.

All I needed to do was export the flash document as an exe and boom: it worked. The portability was amazing. I would just cut a release, put it on floppies, and take them to school. I never had anyone complain once about having an issue. Oh, and no one gave a damn about Linux outside of server admins back then, so yes an .exe was "universally" portable across whatever windows version people had running. There was also a fairly easy process for creating versions for Macs then too, but I don't remember how I did it.

Also, Flash was very good about having backwards compatible exports, so for as long as you weren't using the latest features you could reliably export to older versions of Flash.

Flash was a blessing in the late 90s and early aughts too precisely because it was the only reliable runtime when the internet was a flaming trash heap of incompatibility during the browser wars. Nothing worked everywhere /except/ Flash. The only other app platform available at the time were Java applets, and those were a nightmare. There's a reason why you used to be able to buy entire websites that were Flash based: it just worked.

Yes, Flash only worked if you had Flash installed, but honestly, who didn't? Was this really any different than making sure you had whatever God forsaken Windows service pack installed on your computer? And yes, I know Flash didn't work on Linux, but almost /everyone/ ran Windows back in the day.

I loved every product Macromedia created and owe a lot to them for having made it so easy to make engaging dynamic content. It's how I got hooked on developing software as a kid in elementary school.

It's a shame that there's nothing as simple anymore. I died a little inside when Adobe bought them, and I feel like the next generation is missing out on what was a really fun, flexible, and simple tool...

Making a ball change shades and move in Flash was a few intuitive clicks on a timeline. Now we have a only have a canvas API with relatively low level primitives. If you want things to be simpler, you have to go find some other package, oh wait now you need node, npm, we pack and 20 other dependencies to build the damn package, did you download the proper CSS file too, oh wait you need to import the script at the bottom of the page not the head, blah, blah, blah.

I miss Flash. Yes, the internet is better without it, but I feel like kids of today don't know what they're missing.

More curiously, how is it acceptable to even let that leave the factory?

This is just pure WTF!?:

They said the car was too heavy for its suspension components. Both the lower and upper wishbone in my Model X cracked due to the heavy weight.

EVs are new so one could expect some roughness around those parts, but the basics like body/frame/suspension have been around for more than half a century.

I wonder if you went to buy a car 60-70 years ago, from one of the Big Three, what were the chances of getting one with such defects?
I recently started a new job and it goes a bit like this: the 5 weekdays I average about 11 hours per day (office time only, no commute). My commute is about 45/50 minutes in total (2 ways). I usually spend at least 2-3 hours on each weekend day, but sometimes it can be as much as 7 hours. When I am on holiday I usually login 2-3 times for a few hours (2-3).

I work definitely more than the average in my company, although not by much, and the weekend/holiday bit not many people do, although some do it. I find it that I am extremely productive the whole time: I constantly create new things and I get a lot of ground covered. It often happens it is 6pm, I have an idea, and instead of going back I push it. 2 hours go by but the idea is finallized and I know tomorrow I can start something new.

I don't feel burn out, but genuinely interested in my job. I read a book every night before sleep, exercise for 30 mins after work, and spend time with my partner. I thoroughly enjoy weekends, I often work on side projects and hobbies, and I do chores with my partner, and also speak with relatives.

The only reason I would ever need more time is if I have kids one day. But otherwise if I had to work 9 to 5 I would feel like shit because I will be watching netflix for like 3 hours in the evening, which is what I used to do in my first job. So constraining myself actually is great for not wasting: I am direcrly converting my time for knowledge and money, until I need to have kids.

Long story short, some people find extra free time pointless unless they have something meaningful like kids to spend it on. I do believe a lot of people are not willing to work so much, but to those that want free time, I will tell you this: be honest with yourself if you are making the most of it.
Let them dissappear then.

I am quite sure someone else will be willing to step up and get that work done.

Can't afford often means unwilling to pay, not unable to pay.

Where there is demand for that work, there is also strong incentive to make money getting that work done.

Someone will. And they will do it differently, take a lower margin, bundle it with other work to bring the value up, increase their pricing, etc...

Flash projects could be exported as .EXE files on Windows, or Mac HQX files.
We use pyinvoke to orchestrate terraform invocations and feed the outputs to chalice configuration files. We then intercept the chalice deployed resources and feed them back into dependent terraform modules as inputs. It's been incredibly smooth for us and we're able to get deterministic environments that are easy to debug, modify and deploy. It takes a little imperative glue to manage dependencies, but the bulk of the configuration is declaratively defined and I've been incredibly happy with this workflow.

I’m not sure this is practical, if this were truly an unnecessary charge wouldn’t there be about margin for a competitor to undercut them, as they once undercut taxis?
In my mind it's not so much a specific rate being evil, rather that their justification for its rate being unfounded.

The only way to escape a federal student loan is dying. Loan forgiveness is the government paying the creditor. It's not your average unsecured loan you can shirk through bankruptcy.

Apple's Mac Trade-in program is broken
Do NOT attempt to try Apple Mac Trade-in (with Phobio). It’s probably a bait and switch scheme almost edging on fraudulent business practices.

I have a 2017 iMac 27 inch 512 GB SSD, 4GB graphics card in excellent condition and I wanted to get MacBook Pro with M1 processor. I paid $2100 for this config with education discount. When I contacted Apple support they made it clear that instant Mac trade-in within Apple store is clearly out of question currently, but I could try online trade-in with their partner Phobio. I was quoted $680 initially with online assessment at apple.com. With my previous experiences with iPhone trade-ins with mobile companies which I never had problems with, I thought I would make this attempt especially with iMac relatively stationary with no physical damage and no problems whatsoever.

However my quote was reduced to $170 from $680 because of - “Your trade quote has been revised due to LCD damage. This includes dead pixels, bruising/burn in, no response on digitizer or any other damage that could be related to the LCD.”

Picture I took before shipping: - https://imgur.com/a/czae8Lj

Apple/Phobio’s quote reduction from $680 to $170:- https://imgur.com/a/z7ndbfZ

You can be judge of their assessment based on pictures but I’ve never noticed any LCD damage or dead pixels. And I regularly perform software/screen testing including Apple’s device inspection profiler which had no issues whatsoever.

Honestly this is waste of month’s time and effort to handle shipping process and even Apple Care wouldn’t have helped here because device is 3 and half years old. My only hope is my device won’t damaged with Phobio’s subpar packaging. It looks like Phobio’s business practice is to bank on customer’s patience and sunk cost fallacy. Good for them but this is something you need to aware of.

The problem with this argument is that Covid is not tailored to avoid people of Chinese ethnicity. Indeed, in the UK, they have been especially vulnerable. Asian countries have done better because they have better policies in place.
Not sure why this is being downvoted since I don't think the OP has done a good job of showing evidence that this doesn't work for recursion. Your computer almost certainly WILL have enough space for all the stack frames necessary.
Many people I know are finally taking the lockdown seriously...
I think that the problem described by the OP of this comment chain and the beauty in science you describe are two separate things. I personally enjoy in-depth explanations, that does not contradict the fact that there are situations in which pedantry is simply misplaced or even used for the sole purpose of "one upping" each other and not for actual precision, and that is something that can be done just as well on higher levels and among practicioners even. Or it is used in situations where the pedantic correction is not related to the actual subject of the conversation.

It is my interpretation that these are the situations the video actually parodies. NOT situations in which a related oversimplification is corrected.

To be more precise myself I'd update my agreement with the OP comment to "I agree that the general sentiment of being pedantic in inappropriate situations is bad, I still enjoyed the facts presented in the video". Which is what I wanted to convey with my comment. This would also mean that I only partially agree with the OP comment, because I enjoy the facts themselves.

> They inherently have different life cycles.

Can you expand on this?
Yeah, that seems right. I'd also believe you if you told me that the second arrow also needs to be linear, since I can't really give a good reason why it should be one way or the other off the top of my head.

I admittedly don't really have a great intuition for how to work with this machinery, since I haven't had a chance/excuse to actually play around with it, to be honest; I'm just going off of a SPJ talk on this stuff I watched many months ago, which I mostly understood at the time, and the paper associated with the GHC implementation, which I understood substantially less of.
