interesting but doesn't really explain much. Is it really a single Signal server or can you spin many? What is stored on redis and postgresql? Maybe redis is used as cache, or as a queue, or as a store for sessions, and postgresql is used for accounts. Are these components distributed as well?
That's definitely not my experience. I've had a few recruiters contact me for jobs wildly mismatched from my experience or my expectations but I've also had some reach out for stuff really aligned with what I'm looking for.

Really it's about at the same ratio I would find jobs I'm interested in on job boards so I'm fine with it.

I'm very enthusiastic about keeping systems up to date, but I've had Windows unexpectedly reboot in order to push an update. This part isn't new, but updates require a reboot almost monthly. Compared to Linux and macOS that's obnoxious--especially combined with coercing those reboots to happen.

I've found the "news" and ads added to Windows very user hostile. As with telemetry. Any attempts to disable them soon get backed out via an update. Similarly with Edge harassing you to "try it again" "are you sure you don't want to change your default browser?"

That's not the same at all. Drugs have an inherent "value" or reason why people demand them. People love getting high. Drugs are addictive.

Bitcoin demand is driven mostly by speculative investors.

Maybe governments can't completely kill bitcoin, but they could certainly drive it back to fringe enthusiasts and criminal activity if they wanted.
Maybe it's his attention that is limited.
It was a dominant language. But you said "perfectly dominant", which I took to mean "the one dominant language". Java was not that - not overwhelmingly more popular than C++, for instance.
Yes and no.

You can write a small script or tool in any language, probably even assembly if you have the experience.

Bigger applications, developed by multiple people, and longer-term-maintenance are where it gets interesting.

Then, when you suddenly have to refactor and migrate ten thousands of lines of code, the difference that "strict rules" make becomes very visible.

How Rust will do in this regards only time will tell.

Naturally a Fsck load is more than that.

It's not a "game."

Identifying an unknown deceased person so the next of kin can be notified is part of a normal death investigation, even when there is no foul play.

He seems to have made a positive impact on people who met him on the trail, which is why those people wanted to find out who he was. They wanted to give his friends and family closure.
Not sure how you can describe my post as cynic[^1] to be honest. I think it's the reverse: people who find joy and feel butterfly in their stomach when 1 guy survive but the 9 others die on the streets are nothing but blind.

> How is a group allowed to file for bankruptcy when they're not bankrupt?

Bankrupt is a legal status that results from filing for (or being forced into) bankruptcy. I think your second “bankrupt” probably is intended to mean “insolvent”

But it's been clear for a while that the NRA was in dire financial straights, as well, so while it's strategic it's not completely uncalled for.
Programmers that work on applications that don't work properly due to performance reasons don't optimize enough.

Programmers that work on applications that work properly spend the correct amount of time optimizing.

Programmers that work on applications that don't work or don't get finished may or may not spend enough time optimizing.

That's not a bad idea. All Max would need to do is add a link to one of the comments where I posted this data. But I should probably run the numbers again - it must be 3 years old by now, if not 4.
I used this approach as part of a personal learning project. It ended up working very well because I was using Mongo, so I could just use $graphLookup with an index on the next ID.

It was definitely fast enough for my purposes, sorting about 30k items in 3 different linked lists in just a second or two. The function allows you to limit your depth or modify your starting location in the linked list (graph) which opens a lot of possibilities and/or performance improvements when only loading the first N records.
The app just tried to tackle the general equilibrium where men send many requests and receive few responses and women receive many requests but are interested in fewer of them. As other commenters have pointed out, the equilibrium reasserted itself with women on the app just using a generic "hi" as the response.

The word progressive has become more or less meaningless but in this case the hypothetical app your described earlier is essentially almost every dating app in actual day-to-day practice.

Essentially the status quo is already completely imbalanced, they are just putting a twist on it that serves as the app's hook.
I think it's foundational to the character of our nation. The United States has always been a free country and the right to bear arms is one of our core freedoms, alongside the first amendment rights to freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and free exercise of religion. I would never want to see any of those rights taken away.

The societal costs of gun violence are just a price we pay for that freedom, and I think it's worth it.

Edit: To answer the question about what happens if the U.S. were to ban guns, I'd say that we would lose one of the core freedoms that made us great.

I appreciate your response because it brings nuance that is (in hindsight) negligent to leave out of this discussion.

My projects can usually count all of the developers on one hand, often with fingers to spare. I get put on a rapid-file bevy of small projects rather than a single long-term project that grows into a large team. Time-to-MVP and rapid iterative redesign as the problem domain gets mapped out are the priorities in my projects, and light, non-prescriptive frontend frameworks work well for that in my experience.

I think it makes a lot of sense to define different best practices for one-pizza projects than projects where 25 developers can be described as "only 25". There are a ton of developers at both ends of that spectrum, enough that I wish the broader web developer ecosystem would embrace that distinction.
In fact, the core of it is its selective aspect by definition
Here's their guidelines. However, I'm not sure these were the final rule. Matze said other rules at various points (like no porn, banning antifa users, etc) and also at one point claimed anything legal goes, so it's hard to say what ended up being enforced.

That's a good point. But there are a lot of users from 2008 still active on the site. It would be interesting to see how the attrition rate has changed over time, but I've never looked into that.
> Rust has a fair number of web server frameworks, database connectors, and parsers. But building authentication?

Oddly enough, this was the exact missing off-the-shelf piece -- traditional built-in Web authn&autho, not OAuth2/OpenID/etc. -- that last week made me (reluctantly) abandon plans to use Rust for a rapid Web backend project, and at least delay trying to do most of our new software work in Rust.

The Web authn was sorta the last straw, on top of enough additional known-extra-work and known-uncertainties, so I couldn't justify going Rust at this point, for our needs right now. I decided I had to go with a framework and language that was already heavily proven (if boring) for this kind of application (and, incidentally, one of the framework's off-the-shelf authn&autho packages turned out to be a breeze to use, so far).

(Were I doing a brand new startup demo/MVP, or an R&D project within a comfortably established company, I might've taken on additional risk here, and tried to power through the extra work and unknowns, but we are an early startup nevertheless in B2B critical production already.)

(One reason not using Rust yet was disappointing to me is, just as I'd personally prefer to be mastering Rust right now, using Rust would be a recruiting carrot, somewhat like beloved fringe language Lisp/Scheme/Racket/OCaml/Haskell/etc. would be. I could also see Rust soon letting us do all our backend, much of Web frontend, embedded/appliance systems with device interfacing and some creative networking, and even mobile apps, rather than the mix of too many languages we have now. And I also suspected that most developers we'd hire would end up creating fewer defects in Rust code, since language semantics and static checking would force us to think harder before the alternative led to runtime failures, and/or to encumbering our ability to evolve things fast without breaking production.)

(I'd probably enjoy the job of helping build out the platform/ecosystem of Rust or another newish interesting language I liked. I've done building-out before, including lots of authn from scratch. And of course sometimes it makes sense, in the context of a project in one platform, to build generic pieces that would be off-the-shelf in some other platforms; but other times that makes less sense.)
If your application only needs to deal with the list as a whole, then this doesn't matter, you load it in and build the linked list in memory using a hash lookup. Or as someone else mentioned recursive CTEs can do it too but for something small I'd just load it in and be done with it. This article is really overthinking things for the typical real world case.
There's a lot of things to unravel.

First off, ask yourself if you know the fundamentals - all of relevant RFCs [0] and architecture manuals [1].

Now that I've answered your question, I will offer you advice you may not like. You have to fix your attitude to get a paying job. Labeling software development IQ-toxic is not OK, you're basically insulting a bunch of hardworking folks. Humility helps - stop calling yourself 'best coder', ask your friend for a mock interview and listen to the feedback.

Patience also helps - you don't have to make hasty conclusions if you aren't familiar with subject matter - machine learning is not really like software development.

Last, but not least - please forget about becoming a black hat, committing crimes won't help your self-esteem.

Covid Epi Weekly: Could Covid Kill 1M Americans?
Postgresql has JSONB if the data isn't too dense. Then again there's also the file system.
The literal name of the study is "Low-carbohydrate diets and all-cause mortality: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies".

It specifically found " Low-carbohydrate diets were associated with a significantly higher risk of all-cause mortality and they were not significantly associated with a risk of CVD mortality and incidence."

Perhaps you are on the "oh but the study does specifically say, "low carb, high fat" diet, so it obviously only looked at people eating low carb, low fat diets!" train? There seems to be some fantasy with the Keto crowd that these studies somehow only look at some mysterious section of the population in which eats a very low carb diet but also low fat? People don't eat a low carb diet by accident, when they do they often follow the horrible advice given by the many misguided keto diet proponents: eat low carb, high fat, medium protein.

You can find a near endless amount of longitudinal meta analysis and more focused studies that nearly universally find diets that are lowest in carbs (regardless of protein/fat ratio) produce the highest all-cause mortality.

It’s up for conjecture how “pitilessly literal” the DBH translation is. As is the case with most translations, he imports his own agenda (particularly with regard to his universalist soteriology). It’s good, but it’s also not as “pitilessly” objective as he may believe it to be.

Single letter variable names annoy me so much. Every programmer uses an editor or IDE with autocomplete. Just use a damn name that describes the thing, if it's a little long no one cares.

CS papers are the worst in my experience. I know lines have to be kept short, but I think some people believe a tiny code block makes them look like a better programmer.

I like how Swift does it[0] — it reads nicer than any other language I've used.

> The truth track record of State Department is still much better than that of CCP.

Maybe over the long run, but maybe not the current State Department at this moment. IIRC, over the last month it's literally been trying to stir up shit however it can to make things difficult for the incoming Biden administration.

The current administration seems to think it makes sense to burn US national credibility for petty, self-interested not-even-wins.
I don't necessarily mean the last week or month, but more so the last many years. There's definitely too much to list at this point, but in short, Windows has significantly ramped up their user-hostile surveillance and privacy-invasive functions, pushes many features that no one wants such as excessive advertising and tracking, constantly forces what Microsoft wants onto the user (e.g. constantly 'asking' users to use Microsoft Edge, Onedrive, many others), has many annoying patterns such as forcing updates+reboots excessively often, and in my opinion also has terrible UI/UX. Some of these points are a little subjective, but I think that the general pattern of changes over the last decade has been very clear.
The US military has not done particularly well in Iraq/Afghanistan and esp Vietnam.

There are a bunch of reasons personally.

Protecting yourself + your property. Outside of a city, good luck getting the police to come to your house. Where I used to live they would take at least 20 minutes and it wasn't particularly rural. If you're in actual middle of nowhere I'm sure it's even worse.

Hunting + fun.

Freedom, I'd say our gun culture is engrained in individualism and property rights. Seems like a celebration of that. (Unlike somewhere like Switzerland where it might come for a sense of collectivism)

And obviously to scare the govt into behaving.

American gun culture is definitely a complicated beast though! If you're interested generally ppl are friendly and helpful, regardless of stereotypes.
