I have watched every single video in this series. To be honest, it was a disappointment. There are a few cool videos, but most of it is very surface level. You won’t get any deep or thorough insights into what makes good characters, stories etc. I would suggest you pick up some books on story telling and the rest will do itself, if you are a programmer.

I encountered one where trying to unsubscribe required me to not just log in, but, if I wanted to change my email settings, also enter a password. However, this site used single sign on, so... there was no password to enter.

I've given up on unsubscribing the 'right' way. Too much bs most of the time. It's now just mark as spam and move on.
You can still own your value as long as you have private keys. There's layers of abstractions built on top of it to make it comfortable for every day use and these may be owned by local institutions, but you retain the possibility to own your value no matter where you are located or where you move to without having to depend on some single entity.
It is but maybe for a more wider area
And plenty of bitcoin is not in circulation, but that is irrelevant. The comparison is between the ecological cost of mining bitcoin versus mining gold.

Like gold, bitcoin does not actually have to change hands to be used. If people deposit bitcoin into a virtual vault, they can exchange it with eachother all day long without anything being processed on the network. It's only when someone withdraws their bitcoin from that vault that they need to process a real transaction - equivalent to physically moving gold. The difference between bitcoin and gold is that the environmental costs of transferring value by gold increase with distance and quantity: it takes a lot more to ship a ton of gold around the world than handing a coin to a person next door. Bitcoin, on the other hand has a fixed cost - the transaction to buy a pizza is no different from the transaction to buy a pizzeria. Of course you're not going to wire a bitcoin to the local pizza boy, you're going to go through an intermediary that provides a lower cost transaction. You use bitcoin for the big transfers where it is competitive both financially and ecologically with transporting similar value in physical assets.

You can expect whatever you like. But the reality is that lots of people don't. Maybe they're short-sighted, maybe they're poor, maybe their backup plan wasn't tested to best-practice standards.

I'm sure everyone has seen the bit about half the country lacking a $400 emergency buffer. You can blame them for their own plight if it makes you feel better. Or you can blame a skewed economy. Or god, or me.

You're still left with a grid buckling due to underinvestment, and a future that's likely to demonstrate that this was just a warning.

A different Forth I enjoy to hobby code puzzles in is [Factor](https://factorcode.org/) and is probably an easier place for people to start.

I didn't say you should quit your job. Ride that train as long as you can. I'm saying you should manage yourself. If you only work half the day, spend the other half of the day:

- Look for opportunities to contribute more at your job. Don't wait for a manager to tell you what to do. Rewrite some code. Propose a new feature. Improve the documentation. Write more tests.

- Teach yourself new skills. Don't just skim books on new languages/technologies. Develop a personal project and pretend like you're being paid to work on it.

- Take practice coding tests. Stay up to date with relevent skills.

Enjoy the job you have now, but keep yourself ready for the day when that job goes away. I had a very easy job for about 6 years. I automated most of my job and effectively did not have a boss. I made great money and spent most of my time working on hobbies, hiking, or working on my house. When the job ended I suddenly realized all of my skills were rusty. I regret wasting all of that time, and wish I would have used it to better myself.

This sort of banning is the very thing Epic appears to be trying to prevent. I would guess their legal endgame is to forbid anyone but government agencies impending a store for any reason. Once this is in place there will be no legal way prevent Apple from securing devices from bad actors in the store space.

Edit: In this scenario I am guessing it will not be Apple, but the government who will need to step in and sell store licenses to prevent illegal content... so yay for bribed big government over authoritarian Apple.

I've worked at 8 different companies and none of them could even hold a candle to Google's pace of work. Everything just works. The quota system works, the identity and authorization system works, observability works, the build and release system works. You can be a productive engineer at Google on day 2 if you read the codelabs on day 1. Nobody at Google has ever needed to have their manager email the Jira admin to get them added to the right group to edit tickets. Nobody at Google has a need to raise a ticket with some ops group in Bengaluru to partition a Kafka topic, renew a certificate, bridge two VPCs, or any of that type of thing. It's almost frictionless. I don't get people who say that Google's pace is slow. I've definitely worked in startups where some kid thought they were ultra-productive with their late-night merges of 20000 lines of untested code, but on longer time scales those startups inevitably ground to a complete standstill under the weight of that debt.

"After the acquisition, I was invited to speak on many different Google panels and events and very quickly, I began racking up my HR complaints. I used a four letter word, my analogy was not PC, my language was not PG"

Firstly, these came from events he was _invited_ to speak at. If you invite someone to speak and then don't let them speak their mind what was the point in inviting them?

Secondly, as a non-american none of the things he mentions are egregious. A bit unprofessional? Yeah, probably. But not worthy of being reported to HR.
Hi folks,

After dealing with bullet's false positives / false negatives (github.com/flyerhzm/bullet) for about 2 months,

i had the idea for a gem that is able to auto-detect N+1 queries
with zero
false positives / false negatives (at least as i am currently aware of).

You can see examples of N+1 queries that bullet is unable to detect in the README.

I would appreciate your feedback!
The author seems to be arguing that "most general" = "best" - because text is the most general communication format, it's the best.

This argument is pretty trivially false.

By this logic, the best programming language is assembly, because it's the most general. Actually, writing opcodes directly might be more general, in case your assembler doesn't have translations for some undocumented opcodes. The best editor would be a hex editor. The best web browser would be netcat piped into a hex editor, as well. The best OS would be no OS at all (because OSes impose restrictions in order to make programming easier and safer). The best application, for any kind of application, would be an interpreter that would allow you to create your own, however you wanted.

Engineering is necessarily a tradeoff between generality and efficiency. Technology is largely used to make things more efficient, and so our tools always impose some constraints on the problem/solution space in order to be more efficient than not using that tool.

A common design pattern is a specialized fast-path and slower (but more general) fallback.

In addition, as many others have stated here: "the right tool for the right job". Videos, audio, pictures, and interactive tools will always be more efficient for certain problems. If your sole concern is generality, then yes, by all means, use text. However, this will almost never happen; your design space will almost always necessitate a tradeoff of generality with efficiency - in which case, pure plain text is rarely the solution.
I wonder if this isn’t going to have the opposite effect. If Apple doesn’t get to restrict application developers through the App Store, then will they follow the gaming console model of restricting access to the SDK? I mean, this isn’t a new issue. It’s been the bane of game distribution for as long as we’ve had independent game developers. But if you want to have some semblance of control over a software ecosystem, could there be a similar shift where users could install whatever software they’d like... but the developers would have to be better vetted by Apple first?

For the sake of argument, let’s just assume there are legitimate security/privacy concerns here and ignore competitive issues a la Spotify for now.
There is a difference between a video game console and a portable multi purpose device with such a reach. Judges should take this into account. With great power comes great responsibility.

No, you buy the phone hardware and a license to use iOS. The App Store is a service provided by Apple that you should have a choice to use or not. The Apple Tax is what you're 'buying' from Apple when using the App Store service.
Sounds like the old system was pretty bad, but also sounds like you're looking at Uber through extremely rose-tinted lenses.

> a pyramid scheme aimed at helping established rent-seeker take advantage of often poor new immigrants. Uber brought a breeze of fresh air

In what way is Uber not a rent-seeker taking advantage of often poor new immigrants?

The fact that the old system was so poor just lowers our standards for anything that may seek to replace it, but that's no reason to throw all critical thinking out the window.

Europe is a really good example to look at. Uber entered the market in most (all) European countries, but they simply couldn't compete with what already existed. (speaking only of Uber taxis; Uber Eats is doing fine in Europe)
I'm confused how you know that's not the truth. Why are the publishers posting on Facebook if not because they expect it'll get them more readers?
I categorically disagree. It's your choice to use one store on PC. Epic and a lot of people are asking for the choice. You don't have to make that choice since no one will force you.

Government research funds like this are able to have a much bigger risk appetite than a traditional VC would.

Many moonshot projects require a very large amount of capital to get up and running, and run a high risk of failing. For a typical VC firm, they will rarely choose to invest in something like that if there are other opportunities that don't require as much up front capital, and with better odds of succeeding.

When you don't have LPs and/or shareholders to answer to, you can afford to take greater risks on more ambitious projects.

You are likely to find all kinds of explanations on this thread, but ultimately I believe the root cause is the above.
> I'd rather have a choice than not.

You don't have a choice with many of them. Some publishers force you to use a particular store.

It's not only about which app gets installed. It's also who is tracking what you own. If tomorrow EA decides that the store should be gone, what happens to all the money you spent on their store? Of course, a similar argument could be made for Apple's own store, but they have more incentives to keep that up.

If purchased assets would be treated like phone numbers that you can port to another carrier, then that would be great. Steam supports that (obviously just to 'import' games, not to 'export').

In Canada for example the laws are quite controversial, regardless of political affiliation:

> The controversy around the issue lies in the reasoning behind Canada’s top court decision that proclaimed Bill Whatcott, a Christian evangelist, guilty of hate speech because of the language he used to refer to homosexuality.

> But in order to protect homosexuals from being perceived negatively, the Supreme Court went too far in infringing on freedom of speech, and of religion, critics said.

> This criticism came from both left and right, caused by the way the judge in charge of the case explained the ruling.

> “Truthful statements can be presented in a manner that would meet the definition of hate speech, and not all truthful statements must be free from restriction,” the judge wrote at the time.

Likewise in other countries, such as Scotland:

> ... famed comedian Rowan Atkinson and 20 others, including actors, philosophers, and writers, working with Humanist Society Scotland, see it as posing danger to freedom of expression, because the new legislation aims to introduce the offense of “stirring up hatred” without taking into account if hatred was the intent, bringing with it the danger of criminalizing and jailing people simply for their controversial views, the article said of the artists’ concerns.

> I guess you're saying it's fine for employers to "desire" passion but not to "expect" it?

I'm personally saying it isn't really the business of the employer to talk about employee passion to begin with. In the same way that the employer may desire an employee to keep a clean home and healthy living habits, because of the various signaling benefits it has for their job duties, but it isn't really the employer's business to care.

You may have been unusually lucky. I barely dare open some of the paperbacks I bought in the 70s and 80s.

Although I have PDFs of all of them, so it doesn't matter. The fact that I can change the font size to make them legible now does, to me at least.

The hardbacks are still fine. (Except for the print size.)

I think that Scott Alexander or whatever his name is, does a much better job than say, Paul Graham, at presenting the best counterargument whenever he presents something that he believes, but it's intrinsically a game of trust.

I think what the New York Times intrinsically understands is that the art persuasion is not actually the art of being rational and critical. It is the art of convincing someone else that you have been rational and critical. I am not generally defending the New York Times, I just think that they do understand how good faith persuasive essays can be gateways to bad faith persuasive essays.

The existence and effectiveness of bad faith persuasion is nowhere clearer than in court, where you are essentially obligated by the system to act in bad faith (lawyers would not describe it this way, but presenting an argument that you know to be flawed is bad faith), and lawyers are very convincing. However without an adversarial court system, lawyers are about as good a way of getting to the truth of the matter as crystal balls.

A reasonable, but not infallible heuristic for evaluating an essay for good faith, is to just imagine how much different the essay would look if counterarguments could be inserted after reaching some threshold of support by the general population.

The aggregate problem remains, however. Persuasive essays maintain a shared credit score which is extremely problematic for the process of truth-seeking. Even essays from the same author, can operate on wildly different points on the good/bad faith spectrum.

I guess my point is that the solution is not "more rational essayists", but rather provably adversarial comment systems, in which authors are not advantaged.

Why would cellular lose its "cell" meaning? The radios are still cellular which means a small geographic space in served by a particular directional physical antenna(s).

Your phone only needs to be able to hit the antenna in its cell. It doesn't need to talk to other phones or more distant antennas. This is what allows phones have have relatively low power radios that reside in your pocket without big external antennas.

1. There's something far less draconian than this in place for senior roles in civil service, where restrictions are put in place upon leaving for a period of (say) 2 years, to prevent you using information gained in the process within a relevant sector, and requiring approval of appointments for that period of time. [1]

2. That pretty much exists as it stands [2], at least for sums above a certain level (usually 25k). Similar rules exist for spend above £500 on purchasing cards [3].

3. In some niche sectors, there aren't a lot of competent people. There are generally a lot of people who think they are competent. It could be problematic in these areas (some of which are pretty important), but clearly this doesn't apply for all. Competitive procurement is the ideal approach, but it has many, many flaws when you know the system and how to game it. The big outsourcing companies have that finessed down to the N'th degree. Over-promising and committing to things that can't reasonably be delivered make competitive procurement a problematic system, but short of the ability to "blacklist" suppliers who inexcusably fail to deliver in bad faith (which would be controversial too!) this one seems hard to fix.

I think one of the problems here is that people wanna share code snippets on social media, where generally, the other approaches mean linking to an external github gist or similar, which isn't as visible. I'm not sure if I see a good solution, other than suggesting that the "link previews" for social media sites display the code snippet inline, if it's a link to a pastebin/github gists page.

Edit: Perhaps something can be done by somehow embedding the content into the image (EXIF?) Metadata?
