This website is a joke, made by a recent graduate (23 year old guy): https://laconicml.com/author/laconicml/

Really dude, you got an undergrad in CS and you will teach us all these topics? I am exhausted by the available curricula that would make me a computer scientist, data scientist, machine learning guru, Python ninja and whatever else. All that by watching videos, attending online programs, mostly made by people who have zero content credibility yet they are able to put together a bootstrap website and search YouTube for videos.

It has, but you don‘t need it to implement data structures. Standard library developers don’t need it either, they all implemented in safe code.
> The Newton hypothesis: Is science done by a small elite?

That's a horrible re-framing of Sturgeon's law. I'm a big believer of it, especially in science and technology. But where does the word 'elite' come from?

Let's say you are a recent PhD doing a post-doc somewhere decent, not a top institute, but not low-ranked either. Your thesis was average, your post-doc research topic is kinda boring (for now). Well, does that make you a non-elite? You have 30 to 40 years of career ahead of you. Should you instead be grateful to find a lecturer position in the middle of nowhere and be satisfied with your career?

Not to single out, but does being a tenured professor, leading a STEM lab in MIT make you elite?

Again not to single out, and may he rest in peace, but Marvin Minsky ruined the field of AI for many decades with his narrow-mined critique of neural networks.

MIT tech review tried to bury the field of 'longevity research' with a vicious, below-the-belt attack on Aubrey de Grey in 2005.

STEM history is full of so-called 'elites' (i.e., those getting fame early in their careers, or resting on the laurels of one branding or another) ruining the overall progress for everyone, and setting humanity back. This is not too unrelated to 'science progressing one funeral at a time' as observed by Planck.

Point: how do you know someone is 'elite'?

You don't. You find out after the fact, e.g., at the end of someone's career if they don't get an early break. In the meantime, you have to give them a chance, and check your 'elite' bias.
I've found literal translations to be very useful when learning phrases in foreign languages and subsequent listening as well.
And sometimes they do. Not frequently, fair enough, but some do.
You can't rationally predict the outcome of complex systems anymore than you can rationally predict the weather or the stock market.

In general you need to run something called "tests" to verify certain hypothesis. And even then you may not get a definitive answer given the complexity of the situation.

This is not "math" this is the scientific method.

>So, UBI is just a fist step outside of this wasteful system to acknowledge that economy should serve and preserve the whole human species, and not the other way around.

Communism was an alternative solution to UBI. In fact if you squint enough communism is UBI taken to the extreme, where all forms of income become UBI. Communism in theory works, but in practice there is no working example of a communist utopia in existence today.

So you want to turn all of society into some UBI utopia because it fits your political ideology? How about let's not be stupid and run some experiments first.
You don't need any of those. TSLint was deprecated long ago, and TS runners are only mildly useful in development (to the point where I don't bother and just `tsc && node dist`). Are you sure it's a problem with the ecosystem?
Fortunately modern SQL dialects that support recursive CTEs make the syntax for doing this in a single query approachable . I haven't found good data on how performant recursive CTEs are at scale, but it's surely better than doing the loop with round trips to the database inside your application code.

I'm running the apx exit node family since about 2015.

For the first few years I've been a regular visitor to the local police (my ISP Hetzner at that time gave my name and address out), but eventually Hetzner banned me for generating too many abuse-tickets for them, which is unfortunate but clearly understandable.

I moved all the servers to a colocated rack in a datacenter in Amsterdam (Netherlands) and haven't had a problem since. But I guess that's only possible because I'm able to deal with the abuse messages directly now.

That said, the servers are handling a few terabytes per day each but I still have only received two abuse messages in the last 2 years. I don't know if that's related to the fact that people complain less now than they did in 2015 and 2016, or that the exit nodes now clearly indicate they are exit nodes (when opening their IP or hostname with a browser).

I think Interlinear Texts tries to do something similar, showing the original language and literal word-for-word meaning in English:

The proper word for such translations, by the way, is "calque".

Another famous calque is "groudhog", which comes from the Dutch aardvark. Yes, the two animals are completely unrelated: the Dutch referred to them both as aardvark though, and only one of them got calqued into English.

> But Rust’s memory rules aren’t more secure than Node.js’s or Python’s. Your web application written in Rust isn’t going to be systematically more or less secure than an application in Python or Ruby.

Just want to call out that I've heard a horror story of a very bad security bug due to implicit shared mutability in Python.

(vague to protect the innocent)

> Heck, if you ask some people, Rust is less secure than a GC’ed language for web apps if you use any crates that have unsafe code - which includes Actix, the most popular web framework, because unsafe code allows things like deferencing raw pointers.

You can write unsafe code in Python (and some of the web frameworks use this) and nothing helps you with auditing it, unlike unsafe blocks in Rust.
And thus my M1 Macbook Air lost half it's value.

Apple overpromised and underdelivered. Loading and running iPad apps was one of the big sales pitches for going ARM. Reality: nothing of value you'd actually want to use is available in the Mac Appstore. So you HAVE to sideload apps from your iPad. 90% of iPad Apps I use on my Mac are sideloaded. They won't get any updates anymore thanks to this.

I was let go in the beginning of December so I'm currently highly motivated to find work. Not in desperate times yet but trying to look hard to find something so I don't reach desperate.

My best opportunities so far have come via LinkedIn recruiters, believe it or not.
One recruiter got me interviews with two companies before the end of December. I had a code challenge and second interview with one of them, so pretty far in the interview process.

Otherwise looking at job boards like Indeed and LinkedIn listings. Some good opportunities there but I feel like applying is almost a waste of time. I almost never hear back. LinkedIn has a feature where it emails you if your application was even looked at, and I rarely get those emails. I got one outright rejection but otherwise just ignored.

I've also been targetting companies in related work to my previous experience or companies I would be interested in working for but none seem to be hiring.

I don't think there's any single silver bullet answer to job hunting, just have to try every avenue you can to dig up opportunities.

I wish I was better at networking.

Of course the majority of App developers would opt-out. This idea that they can opt-out was BS to begin with.

Mac (especially M1 Macs) are a tiny tiny percentage of iPhone/iPad users. There's got to be UI bugs here and there. No ROI calculation can make "oh let's put support efforts into Mac for the five users we might get there" positive.
It seems like you're in one of two situations: (1) you want the entire list, or (2) you want a small "page" of entries in the list, starting from a known point. For (1), you can fetch all of the entries in table order, whatever that may be, and then figure out the list order after you have the entries. For (2), you make the database do seeks for you in a loop, but it's not such a big deal because it's a small number of them.

I guess the worst case is where you want to iterate over a large dataset in list order, but either you can't fit it in memory, or you don't want it all to go over the wire. In that case...yeah I don't know...what's the linked list equivalent of a B-tree? :)

Distributed systems design is hard, Signal team might not be equipped to deal with the sudden surge of users and this definitely is not a good look.
But federated/decentralized servers doesn't make this problem any easier, you still have to diagnose and fix your issue across a fleet of multiple servers. You can offload the problem to users, but then you will not have the adaption to begin with to create this problem.
> You're conflating the monstrosity of J2EE (which admittedly was a mess, and completely unrelated to Java itself) with the "Java Language" by which I mean the syntax of the language itself.

I'm not sure how well you can separate that: most people are going to hit those bumps when they get started, and they're going to see an ongoing frictional cost against their productivity. Yes, there are some neat things in the language — especially newer versions — but there are a lot of people who would benefit a lot from, say, a “Java: the good parts” distribution which makes it easy to start a new project and evolve it, and then SEO it as much as possible so people get that advice rather than the 10+ year old stuff many web searches will have highly ranked.

I do think there's an interesting alternate history where WebAssembly happened many years earlier in the form of Java byte-code. That would have lost a lot of the ability to read other people's code but it would have had better performance earlier and a good story for language competition which has brought many good features to Java from other languages. Unfortunately, after around 1997 or so that really came down to Microsoft so it would have been VB or C# in any case.

XML is interestingly similar where the core language community charged ahead building ever more standards on top of it but assumed that its inevitability meant someone else would fix their … not great … tools, specs, and examples for them — and then were surprised when almost everyone abandoned them for easier tools. I always liked the idea of XPath but it's effectively never moved past 1999 unless your world exclusively avoids libxml2, which wasted most of the hard work the standards group did.

One thing I think may be common about both of those is a big shift in how easy it is to build and ship development tools and programs: a 90s programmer had to live with what they got in a distribution to a much greater extent because you couldn't count on everyone having an internet connection, a fast one, package management hadn't happened much outside of the Linux/BSD world, and new things required waiting for someone to write a book you could order, finding a local user group, asking in Usenet, etc. Warts in your language still mattered but less so since for many people it was easier to keep using something than switch. After the 2000s, though, I think a lot of people realized that the cost of switching was so low that they had to care about developer ergonomics a lot more unless they had something like the massive platform pull Apple had with Objective-C and Microsoft had with C#.

C# has a lot about that, but whatever code you going to generate is CIL code. Runs within the same VM with strong safety guarantees.

Not anywhere close. Rust is unsafe all over these crates, both standard library and third-party ones. That’s not just theoretical stuff, it has quite a history, see e.g. https://medium.com/@shnatsel/how-rusts-standard-library-was-...

I don't think you can lump physics, life sciences, chemistry etc all together. This article mainly pertains to physics, which is notable for being more cathedral like than other fields, where prior work is very foundational. Physics is also a field where mathematical aptitude is particularly important, and there is significant variation between people in this dimension with some clear outliers.

The small elite theory doesn't work in life sciences in my estimation. There are no life science 'geniuses', it isn't that sort of field. The scientists that won the prize for CRISPR have many excellent qualities, but they are not really distinct from millions of other scientists with similar qualities. I have had a bit to do with 2 other life sicence nobel laureates, and I can verify that they are not John von Neumann in a lab coat. The important thing for CRISPR is that Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier had the opportunity to be studying something like repetitive sequences in bacterial DNA. If you cut science funding, you could easily annihlate fields like this. CRISPR might have taken another 20 years to be discovered, or longer. Charpentier struggled to get funding, living from grant to grant in small labs until she hit upon CRISPR.
> How about the QOL of not knowing for a long time whether you'll succeed or fail? Or having to deal with investors, marketing, managing people, aka everything that you probably don't want to be working with?

This is kind of silly to bring up. Obviously people starting a company are okay with managing people and dealing with investors (or if not, being bootstrapped). You're saying "being an elite athlete sucks because you have to deal with working out and eating healthy" like.. yeah, you kind of signed up for that. You can't be an NFL player and eat donuts all day.

> FIRE in your 30ies.

This is ironically very similar to doing a startup (but with less risk, and a lower upside). Are you forgetting that investing didn't go so well for people in 2008? I actually like the FIRE movement.

On the popup I received to accept the new terms, it said if I didn't accept them, then my account would be deleted.

Since they seem to have only delayed the deadline but not changed the terms, I assume all accounts from users who have not accepted the new terms will be deleted on that date.

That likely means not only no access to messages, but the deletion of them altogether - or at least I count on that but I don't have a way to verify it.

Living in West LA, it varies; but it's usually the number. There are a few exceptions, but they are specific to the freeway, like most people would take the PCH, not "the 1", although people would know what you are talking about.

Passportjs is the standard across all these frameworks. It's modular by design, so you can easily compose the right auth system for your needs. I've always found it quite intuitive and I've never seen anything even nearly as comprehensive in any language.

Yes, this happens quite a bit as we can’t really see what’s going on inside other people’s minds. It is very interesting to say your sexuality took over spirituality in your case. How old were you when this happens? During puberty, adolescence and early adulthood we go trough transformations that are in a way not very well understood, in regard to sexuality I mean, think all the hormonal production going through the roof and stabilizing later on in life, but this is connected to mental health as well. Although I am not suffering of serious mental issues, just some anxiety and depression here and there for short periods of time, I remember first experiencing anxiety as an adolescent and didn’t know what it was then. It was mild though.
> Also “senior” engineers (>5 years of experience) at these companies make a lot more than 200k a year.

No they don't, look up the numbers. Average salary on most websites is around 180k. Principal engineers start making north of 300k (at FAANG, which is already a subset of a subset) but it's very difficult to snag one of those.

I like the FIRE movement, but ironically, I think it's pretty analogous to doing your own startup. Obviously, it's less risk (but also less upside).
Would be nice if there was a book/site that listed the 100k failures and their personal stories to the 1k success stories.
Exactly, and the fact that they hadn’t exercised their power by blocking Google with robots.txt to try and bring them to the table was a huge indicator that maybe they weren’t being honest.
