> It seems more likely that it’s a politically expedient way to get cover for a decision

I have not doubt that is true in some cases. However, it might be a a bit too cynical to see it that way in all cases.

I have a developer on my team that is the most senior guy on the team. He is a grey beard on a team full of junior developers fresh out of startup code bootcamp. Sometimes he is thinking about big technical challenges and he just wants someone to talk to that can give him some feedback.

One of the things I miss about working in open offices is being able to turn around and fire ideas off of a colleague. Even if I know I am right, even if I have the ability to unilaterally make a decision, often times I just want a second opinion. I've even heard people here suggesting a paid service so you could get a short amount of principal engineer time to bounce ideas off of.

I mean, isn't that more or less what McKinsey is, except for business people? When I think of it that way ... it doesn't feel as cynical anymore. If I'm a CEO (or any level of exec) and I don't have peers that can provide me valuable second opinions and I have the budget - why not pay someone for that second opinion?

Is it ethical to sell a paperback and not an ebook in 2021 knowing that you're making it inaccessible to people who need larger font sizes to read it? Ebook readers are great for book accessibility, but if someone won't sell you an ebook it doesn't do much good.

EDIT - I forgot to get to my point, which is that I have no ethical issue with "pirating" content in a better format if the creator (or rights-holder) has decided to only make it available in worse formats. If I want to feel better about supporting the creator, I can buy the worse format before doing that, but then buying a paperback that I don't want feels unethical for other (environmental) reasons.

If someone subscribes to HBO Max for a month and then watches a better pirated copy, I have a hard time finding a problem with anyone but HBO there. If anything, paying HBO for their screwed up version is an issue because it encourages them to keep screwing things up like that.
Oh and it does zero dynamic allocations except during atlas resize, which was very helpful in older builds of V8.
Shameless plug: https://fly.io

We built Fly _specifically_ so you can run servers close to your users. We do a lot for you on the network side, too, like terminate TLS in all our regions.

One thing to note, though, is that latencies between cities are surprisingly different than their theoretical max. We have apps on Fly with lots of South American users. It's frequently faster for people in Argentina to connect to Miami than it is to hit Sao Paulo or Santiago. The same goes for Africa.

And the "Asia Pacific" region is a monster. Most points of presence there are _thousands_ of miles away from each other. So we occasionally see people go from Tokyo -> LA instead of Tokyo -> Hong Kong/Singapore.
If I were avoiding heroku because of cost and had a need to scale horizontally, I'd use Fargate with spot instances.

Manage it with CDK or terraform. As long as you have enough containers running, spot ends up being a non issue.

I have lost count of the number of startup founders I come across who have an unsuccessful product and are looking for an exit and go "we have all this amazing code. It has to be worth at least $X". No, all of your code is worth exactly $0 to any company looking to acquire you. They either want your product (read: users) as a whole or just the talent behind it. In 99% of such acquisitions your entire codebase will be thrown out.
Not op, but people here don't generally take to clearly misleading data that was presented that way to make a point. The population here is probably sufficiently enriched for data peeps.

And I mean this in the least hostile way, though my choice of language above may sound sarcastic.
This is seriously cool. I feel slightly validated that I've also been wrapping these by hand, since it's kind of quirky to try and auto-generate these while keeping the same usability and such as their original incarnations.

For those interested in a Rust variant, I've been hacking on one for awhile: https://github.com/ryanmcgrath/cacao

I wouldn't say it's yet ready for production use, but so far it's working pretty well for me. Been dogfooding it by building an app I've wanted for a bit - a proper magic-wormhole macOS app.

One of the things I've really wanted to keep to is the delegate pattern, since I think it actually works really well for Rust's model. A fun example I finished yesterday is ListView cell reuse:

https://twitter.com/ryanmcgrath/status/1357097991081844737/p...

Ultimately I view this as one of the last pieces needed for a cross-platform Rust UI framework to actually work.
Demystifying the Spanish ID Numbers
While amusing, this attempts to humanize them and somewhat whitewash their abominable actions. They are sitting at the top of the power matrix making lives miserable and dangerous for the ones with least power - paycheck to paycheck workers, those with addictions, inmates in Rikers, dissidents.

The fact that they are aware of their own lack of usefulness makes the whole enterprise even more cynical and shady.
"Ethical/lawful or not I don't care"
-me_me_me

Parody? I'm not sure.

Seems like an attitude I'm relatively happy isn't super common in society.

If I make a book, I don't "owe you an effort" just cause you don't want to make it available in a format you'd like to consume.

And that doesn't give you the right to steal it from me.

Now certainly everyone should live under a set of guidelines, no one should be certain efforts that do need to be made, say for accessibility reasons, and we do that as a society for a common good.

But if you want to use Betamax and it's going to be expensive for me to support it, I don't owe you that. And it doesn't make it okay for you to just take my work because you will only use your own format.

Edit: Also... small creators things get stolen constantly on the internet. It's a big problem for a lot of content creators and probably discourages people from making more art.
"Kill your darlings" is probably a better aphorism.

Obviously source code is useful on its face, and its also the truest documentation of current requirements. Worthless is an overstatement.

Can you elaborate more about the server in Finland? How does it work? The ones I have seen are super expensive and the only thing they provide over putting server at home is the network quality. Any ideas where we can get a inexpensive data center that can on/off the system and give good network?
Sure, but imagine if the LSP designers had, as first project, just written a binding for IDEA.

Then VSCode could've immediately had all the advantages of IDEA, and we'd be able to use both interchangeably.

And the clients for XMPP still suck, 15 years later. You might find a good one on one OS after trying out several (install, test for a few days, repeat), but then when you want a client on your phone or another OS, you have to try the install/test cycle all over again.

In my experience, most of the clients just don’t do WEll everything a modern IM client needs.... group chat without needing to know a FQDN address, alerting on new messages/mentions, image and attachment support, encryption without wonky key management, multisession support (connecting simultaneously from multiple devices not leading to problems), on and on...

I used XMPP for years on iOS, android, Mac, windows, and linux. Hated it every day.
Any key that is in large amounts of consumer devices will be cracked.
As a very early P2P lending participant in the early days of Prosper Lending, I've seen the other side of this.
Many borrowers adopt a mindset that they have earned the money they borrowed and don't feel that they need to pay it back.
I came in to Prosper with a distaste for the apparent predatory lender tactics and came out with an appreciation that not everything that seems predatory really is. While there are plenty of legitimately shady lending practices, reasonably high APRs and the collection tactic you described are not some of them.

We've been checking out the various scanners lately. One thing I noticed with both Zap and BurpSuite is the lack of being able to report page fragments in SPA routings.

So a page like http://yoursite.com/page/#/users would just be listed as http://yoursite.com/page. Does this handle those SPA routing cases and report them?

Also in general how is this different then Zap? We were just planning to set that up in our CI for API and SPA scanning.

What kind of scripting does it support to be able to get and use authz tokens for example?
Improving DevTools Startup Time
You aren't getting it - your manager is the one who decides if you're experienced, if you get that raise, etc. The use of the word "experienced" in this context is being used as a credential. Credentials are granted through authority. So yes, it very much is true. I would even say that if one doesn't understand the role that perception plays, then they clearly dont have much developer experience.
It's not optimized for consumers. It's optimized for the c-suite.
Second this. Supply Chain tech consultant with one of the big guys here.
The tone is baseline. You're objecting because you "feel bad about it." We rich westerners like to self loath a lot - a lot of loathing, little action. Of course we all "feel bad" about it. But half the posts in this thread are more "I don't want to tip this server whom I love very much and we need oh so desperately!" Pretty contradictory.

Everyone cares for everyone else, until it's their pocketbook. That's why it's easy to say "raise the minimum wage!", it's just the new "pass the back." No skin off the rich SV developers back, as he types on his $1100 iPhone made with slave labor in china, in his slave labor clothes, etc.

The argument about "would I do this job" is the wrong argument. The argument is, CAN I do this job. And yes I can, and yes, most people can. Most people can not be developers. So why bother with the worthless platitude.

Also to - it is a strawman to suggest I don't want a world without servers. I just suggested that over-subsidizing them is bad for society, as a whole.
> Ethical/lawful or not, I don't care.

As they'd say on reddit, "username checks out".

While I can sympathise with plenty of your points, this statement is a huge red flag regarding your general attitude to the world. You're marking yourself as someone I don't think I'd care to do business with, or to have as a friend. (Not that I expect that matters to you. Just an observation.)
One part of the moat has to be the dealership laws, where the incumbent manufacturers created a false barrier to entry. There is nothing lean or optimal about legislating that competitors have an arbitrary number of brick and mortar locations. There are probably others in such an established and complex market.
I get you. Personally, I made a deliberate choice this year to try to give more benefit of the doubt and charitable interpretations to narratives I see online.

I think one of the key problems facing our culture is mistrust, and the only way I know to remedy that at the individual level is to just... trust more. I accept that sometimes I'll get burned. I'd rather have that happen than to contribute to a society where everyone is untrustworthy because they know they are not being trusted anyway.

I don't want people to feel that they may as well do the crime if they're gonna do the time (be mistrusted) anyway.
Rick and Morty story generation with GPT2 using Transformers and Streamlit
It all goes back to not owning you media. When you rent ("subscribe") and stream, it's not yours, and can be taken away for any reason, or no reason at all.

For the last decade I've been buying up old DVDs and CDs of films and TV shows that I like from fleaBay, Goodwill, and elsewhere and archiving them in my own NAS for my personal use. It's astounding how much quality media has never made it to streaming.

In my estimation, probably 5% of what was released on DVD as ever made it to streaming services. And even then, there are huge gaps in DVDs. Probably half of VHS tapes made it to DVD.

Recently, my wife wanted to watch all the movies of an important film star (Humphrey Bogart, or someone similar), and it turns out that it's not possible. Many of the films never made it to digital (DVD or streaming), and so can never be seen by the public short of flying to a city on another continent and attending an obscure film festival.
adding to what Raza said - a consideration for both active learning and weak supervision is the need to construct a gold standard labelled dataset for model validation and testing purposes. At Humanloop, in addition to collecting training data, we are also using a form of active learning to speed up the collection of an unbiased test data set.

Another consideration on the weak supervision side (for the snorkel style approach of labelling functions) is that creating labelling functions can be a relatively technical task, which may not be well suited for non-technical domain expert annotators for providing feedback to the model
So, "at most" then, right?

The further you are from the other end, the less additional distance the satellite adds on.
Not really. There's not much Signal-protocol-specific technology involved on the proxy, other than dropping traffic that doesn't go towards the Signal server itself.
You sound quite partisan to be honest, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. It is true that Trump's (or anyone's) opponents are allowed to be outraged over serious things. But you literally just pointed out at the left also got outraged by trivial things:

> The one where he was very proud that he could identify an elephant annnnd that proved he was a very stable genius?

Trump boasted about a quiz, who cares? It's not important. But it was in the news cycle.

Honestly, I think the left really despited the way Trump talked and phased things more than anything else. If he spoke more mellifluously like Obama, but did even more drone strikes in Yemon, CNN wouldn't go after him as much. Another example is "China virus". You know, like MERS (Middle East Respatory Syndrome), Spanish Flu, Japense encephalitis, German Measels, Zika, Ebola, etc.? All named after where they came from. He only called it the Chinese virus in response to a question from a reporter who said that the Chinese government claimed the US government made it in a lab. But of course, Trump must have said it because he's a racist and wants to blame Chinese Americans. It's just so silly and manufactured outrage.

I can think of a few other examples of overblown outraged just off the top of my head. I think the media just generally cried wolf a lot. Every time Trump sneezed it was a scandal. So then people either tuned out entirely, or got outraged by Trump every day. And thus here we are with are divided country.

> you're taking the position that there's nothing wrong with a 101% threshold, and there's nothing wrong with a 70% threshold, but an 88% threshold goes too far?

That wasn't my position. My position is that a 88% threshold in practice might as well be 101% and it is dishonest to include it and pretend like it is the near equivalent of 70%.

My comment on the pedantry was mostly on the fact that a lack of threshold is a null value and not equivalent to 101%. A null value is not larger than 88%. This 88% value is higher than previous propositions that have included a threshold and is therefore "unprecedentedly high".
Machine Learning for Computer Architecture
To the extent that telling you all this story was an attempt to humanize these guys and "whitewash" their behavior (it wasn't), I have some bad news for you: they're human.

It does nothing against evil to pretend that the world is composed of a small number of monsters and the rest of us good ones.

I'm the first one to agree with you: consulting - hell, fundamental aspects of capitalism itself - are deeply cynical and morally suspect, and result in a lot of unnoticed pain and death and ruin. But in my view, ignoring the fact that criminals of all types go home and kiss their children at night, and mean it, is part of what keeps us locked in the status quo.

And by the way: instead of ascribing intentions to me that you, as the reader, can't know for sure from the text alone, why not just ask me what my intentions are?
I maintain that that would've been much harder to implement, for VSCode and for all other editors that followed. Among other issues, it would require a separate JVM process and some way for other languages to bind directly to JVM interfaces in that process, since most non-Java editors are not written in JVM languages.

If what you're suggesting is an LSP that wraps any given IDEA plugin and maps it to the LSP protocol, well, that can still be done (assuming it could ever be done) and would've still required the LSP protocol to be invented first.

On top of all that: you're welcome to re-use any code out there (in any language!) when writing an LSP. Nothing stops you from leveraging the bulk of an IDEA plugin, or whatever generic compiler utilities go into IDEA, when making your own LSP. I wouldn't say any work is wasted at all.
I completely agree. The limitations though are something you’ll hit in Unity or Unreal as well, just at a different spot.

Each engine has limitations to what they provide. It’s up to you to extend. Godot being open source you can easily extend. Unity/Unreal you’ll be writing some code as scripts to attach to overcome those limitations you encounter.

No game engine is limitless.
I don't know whether it is a limitation of the format or of the implementation. I used the C++ library (or maybe it was C, I can't remember), which I assume PyArrow uses too.

No, Parquet doesn't support some compression formats that Arrow does.

I wouldn't say that's super likely. Given that you haven't worked as a professional software engineer for ~10 years. There's more to being a senior engineer than being able to do challenging programming problems. Not to discourage you, but getting to £100k as a SWE in the UK is tricky, outside of finance. Even more so with 3-5 years of experience. That being said, it sounds like finance would be a good fit for you?
