Fishing was a metaphor for together that's not about getting ahead...I mean that's why nobody has taken me to mean taking a child on an Alaska trawler during crab season.

When I played video games with them...first Lego Star Wars and later FIFA...it was distinct from my "getting your kids to program" attempts that involved Alice and Processing and Common Lisp and Boxed Knuth progressively...the last meaning they are fully equipped to get as deeply into programing as their interest and ability might take them.

I used fishing because as a new parent an older parent came into my office on their business and because part of my job was positive customer service taking time to chat was ok and the older parent learned I was I new parent and told me I would never regret time spent fishing together and because my spidy sense told me to trust them I did and they were correct.

Growing up in the south, I've known a lot of people who were recovering from fishing as something their parents tried "to do to get their kids to fish." There's a qualitative difference between an afternoon gone fishing and getting up early for a fishing trip I think.

That difference is whether the terms are mutual and the relationship equal. Whether the goal is the time together or ambition fulfillment.
Isn't the 'senior role' aligned with what he said though? He'd have the industry insight to design product roadmaps and UX wire frames in a PM type role, but wouldn't touch the codebase because he's a lawyer who wrote some code a long time ago, not a lawyer who codes, and the non-lawyers his team can hire have much more experience in actual software engineering.
It can be interesting – especially if you also compare it to something like the PyPy JIT – but it runs afoul of the idiomatic angle since Python has had decades of recommended practice being to write code in Python and optimize the hotspots in C, which has led to very popular libraries like NumPy, PIL/Pillow, etc. becoming almost universal in community recommendations.
I agree with your preference. I too lean towards a pragmatic approach to REST, which I've seen referred to as "RESTful", as in the popular book "RESTful Web APIs" by Richardson.
Considering both are made from the 7nm TSMC process, AMD probably aren't going to make any more Zen2 processors at this point.

I think you're right: that buying a generation old or so can offer gross cost savings. But that's only true for the time-period where those chips are available.
> You'd probably be the lawyer who can code and any lawyer-adjacent tech company would love you.

Being able to natively express and review logic related to some legal software would be useful indeed, but honestly your team will need someone good at gathering requirements from non-technical folks either way and my guess would be that a lawyer that can vaguely code would likely be retained as an expert in the field but offered compensation like an entry-level to mid- developer by a startup.

I think that SMEs are great to have on the team, and I'd happily jump at the chance to contract with one that's got some vague coding experience as well - but I'd contract that out to pick their brains specifically on their specialty rather than try and shoe-horn them into a dev role. If I found a lawyer that had returned to development full time that's a different jazz - but you also need to keep in mind if the now-lawyer that used to be a developer actually wants to go back to full time development.

There used to be an extension that did this; it would collapse everything but the actual tabs bar unless you moused over it. It was beautiful for getting the most out of your screen real estate. Naturally, it died in the... first(?) great extension purge.
Banning crypto is just the tip of the iceberg. The administration in power currently has massively damaged the confidence of international investors as well as the citizens in India by taking extremely heavy-handed top-down and often ill-planned decisions. See 2016 demonetization, 2020 national lockdown and the 2021 farm protests.

Also the country is veering towards authoritarianism rapidly, and this bitcoin ban is just a mere symptom of a much much larger problem that lies ahead for India.

I was talking about the 'brain drain' in that context.

You have to trust WhatsApp, because it is closed-source. Nothing stops them from planting a backdoor and enabling it specifically on your device, or from updating the E2E protocol to make it insecure.

If your threat model includes WhatsApp/Telegram developers, you can't use WhatsApp but you can actually (carefully) use Telegram's E2E chats, because Telegram's client is an open-source app with reproducible builds. E2E in a closed-source app is useless, and all UX inconveniences of E2E are just "security theater".
They may want it, but it's Pavel Durov who makes the ultimate decision, and, knowing him as well as I do, I'd say that it's very unlikely he'll allow any semblance of tracking or targeting. He has no sympathy for surveillance capitalism and "growth".

Besides, as I said in another comment, ads will only exist in channels. Channels have already sold ads directly since about forever.

Anyone else unable to update the Telegram macOS app? In the "App Store" app, it downloads, and then a popup says: "Telegram could not be installed. Please try again later." It's been doing that for a week. (macOS 11.2.1)

They fired all the Servo devs. (And) probably increased their CEOs annual salary and bonuses.

At this point, Mozilla is just hell-bent on a path to completely destroying whatever's left of Firefox. It being the only non-Blink browser alternative left is no longer a valid excuse.
Precisely - vendor lock-in generally happens at the data level. For example, AWS finally turned off their last Oracle DB server only a year or two ago.
I'm an early adopter for telegram, and I'd be glad to give them some money.

I signed up in 2014, basically the first or second time it hit HN, and over time, I've built out a pretty decent social network on there, and run a dozen or so specialty community chats. I'd be glad to pay them something, 25 a year or so, even if I don't get anything special from it (though, if I did want something, it'd be better access to support if I should need it), just as part of making the service sustainable.

It'd made coordination in my life so much easier, and I legitimately cannot fathom going thru the pandemic without it, it's been my social lifeline.

Mostly I love it because its a desktop has parity environment, I literally sit in front of a computer 12+ hours a day, why do I want to limit myself to a phone-only service.
Online advertisers are much simpler than that.

They want sales, or signups or whatever acronym they need to force up. Group A converts at 10%. Group B at 1%. The advertiser may have a theory of why these groups are different. Increasingly, we don't. FB, especially, does a lot of automated targeting.

Marketers tend to have good instincts about these things, because patterns are repetitive and simple. That said, I'm pretty confident that advertising to subscribers would be more effective than advertising to non subscribers.

In my mind, "person who subscribed to a thing online" is just a good qualifier. It probably correlates to a lot of other qualities like "shops online often" or whatnot. Those "theories" don't really matter though. They're just a starting point.

Advertisers don't know or care what people think of the ads nor how they make the 98.3% who didn't buy anything feel. All they know is that they didn't click/buy/whatever.

I think people imagine online advertisers like a geekier version of mad men. It isn't like that. There's not the pretensions of understanding or influencing psychology. It's more like stock trading.

Regex handling is still far nicer in perl than anywhere else, so for any script which is primarily about string parsing with regular expressions, perl is the right tool for the job.
CTO of Fission here!

> Or do I incorrectly understand "local first"?

I believe that the specific term "local-first" comes from Ink & Switch: https://www.inkandswitch.com/local-first.html

> I wonder how these two cope with one another. To me, you're either not local (must connect to be sure your data have persisted) or you need something more than just browser. Otherwise you're at the mercy of browser vendor not to destroy your in-browser data with borked update.

Maybe a clarifying one-liner would be "it's local-first, not local-only" ;) There is totally a tension there from not controlling the browser itself. You're absolutely right that the browser can clear it cache pretty much whenever. In practice, this appears to happen less than advertised (the extra caution is a good default!), but it totally does happen. It's something that we've spend a bunch of time trying to figure out the balance on. We also have to recognize that we live in an online world, so there's a bunch of additional work going into making things feel instant when connected. Fission is pushing on both sides of the problem to basically get as close to "your data everywhere all the time" as possible.

The principle is that you should be able to show up to a web app and have it "just work" and not know that anything special is happening. Everything should work if you loose connectivity, or are on a plane (if we ever do that again). You should also be able to self-host your data, or have it cached in multiple places (which is a big advantage of IPFS).

Fission provides one way to automatically keep a second encrypted-at-rest copy outside of the browser while you have connectivity. There's nothing special about our IPFS nodes; they're just set up to make that smooth for the kinds of thing that you'd want to do with the SDK, and add some niceties like DNS automation so you're not always fiddling with hashes. Part of us presenting to the SIG was to try to get better access to local desktop IPFS nodes, so that those who want to turn the dial to "fully offline" can go further with that.

Hmm, with AMD Threadripper, you're already looking at TLB issues at these L3 sizes. So if you actually want to take advantage of lots of L3, you need either many cores, or hugepages.

Case in point: AMD Zen2 has 2048 TLB entries (L2), under a default (in Linux and Windows) of 4kB per TLB entry. That's 8MBs of TLB before your processor starts to page-walk.

Emphasis: Your application will pagewalk when the data still fits in L3 cache.

------------

I'm looking at some of this lineup with 3-cores per CCX (32MBs L3 cache), which means under default 4kB pages, those cores will always require a pagewalk to just read/write its 32MBs L3 cache effectively.

With that being said: 2048 TLB entries for Zen2 processors. Maybe AMD has increased the TLB entries for Zen3. Either way, you probably should start looking at hugepage configuration settings...

These L3 cache sizes are absurd, to the point where its kind of unwieldy. I mean, with enough configuration / programming, you can really make these things fly. But its not exactly plug-and-play.
Been true of Java for decades. Most application programmers aren't churning out highly tuned C++, and their design is easily outperformed with a bump allocator and generational GC.

Bad comparison. Few criminals seek to shoot you. The proper comparison is whether you would prefer to be mugged by a gun, a knife or a club.

And the proper answer here is gun. You're much less likely to be hurt by a mugger with a gun--the mugger is far more likely to rely purely on deterrence rather than actually use his weapon.

Surely more people will die from COVID than from blood clotting, due to this delay?

Or perhaps not, given that 2020 deaths in Germany were 985,145, only 4.85% higher than 2019, and only 3.2% higher than 2018 (and so basically in line with what we would expect from an aging society).

I had genuinely forgotten there were alternative options to compact. I understand the point of larger options for preference and accessibility, but I feel for the majority of people that compact is likely the best viewing experience in terms of conserving screen space. I hate exaggerating or sounding alarmist, but this will likely cause me to migrate to another browser.

Why does the C preprocessor need the #elif syntax at all? C doesn't have it, it just achieves "else if" by embedding the second if statement inside the else clause. But maybe that wouldn't work in the preprocessor?

#if FOO
foo();
#elif BAR
bar();
#endif

#if FOO
foo();
#else
#if BAR
bar();
#endif
#endif

I guess it works but it's clunkier.

What advantage would a trie's prefix searching give you in a word count task? Worse, you're following word.length() pointers, potentially all over your memory. You could collapse with Patricia or Merkle or whatever, but they'll all be worse than the one pointer lookup of a hash table (modulo collision chasing if you pick a bad hash/size) & all in the service of giving you a feature (prefix lookup) you don't need.

I think whiteboarding problems can be silly but....

If you are applying to these jobs you either just graduated, in which case you just spent 4 years finding time to jump through all the hoops the professors gave you, surely you can find another 3 months to become an expert on whiteboarding problems.

Or you're a professional software developer. And the number of professional software developers who are good enough to work at Google or Amazon, live in the U.S. and are "poor" is a vanishingly small number.

My version? That's a one-liner, one shouldn't maintain those. It was mainly intended to show that a lot of the logic for simple cases is so common that perl (and some other languages) have those as command line switches.

That also makes it hard to win for total outsiders, though. This touches on core functionality, which often has quite a legacy behind it and thus its own vernacular. I can write `while (my $line = <STDIN>)` instead of `while(<>)`, but I can't get as easily rid of "chomp" being confusing to most people. A bit like car/cdr in Lisp.

But that happens even if you have plain english functions and no special cased syntax. Looking at the simple python version, it took some effort for me to remember what `Count.update(lst)` does, or that `most_common` without arguments returns all elements.
Wow. Then we should look more closely at the glymphatic system no?
