The biggest issue the last few months was empty containers already.

Since China convinced the western economies to shutdown for covid Asia exports are so high to replace the goods we don't make anymore, they ran out of containers.

The returning ships are all basixally empty, because western society doesn't make anything anymore.

You're looking for something similar to Python's namedtuple.[1] (Though modern python should use a dataclasses in the stdlib or the attrs package.)

Essentially, you have an array/list/vector under the hood, and a mapping of field names to array indices to govern field access.

If you're trying to implement this at a lower level, in the interpreted language itself, take a look at the slots mechanism[2] in Python.

Start ups need different kind of people than big companies. With a startup the biggest mistake someone can make is not moving fast enough, and the startup dies. In a big company the code base always gets too big, so a person who works slower, but is able to improve the code base while shrinking it is worth more than a person who finishes fast, but blows up or slows down the code base. Interviews have to search for the right style of people.
In my experience people demand fantasies, and will fight tooth and nail any encroachment on them by the reality that things never happen as they are planned. Although when I say this, I am thinking of one year and above kind of estimates.

When people who are experts on the topic evaluate the work needed over a period of say 3 months, even in something as notoriously hard to plan as video game production, it can hold. This entails being willing to adjust scope and resources though, when planning, in order to ensure the objectives are likely to be met.

My first computer was an Amiga 500 and I guess my fondness for the Amiga never really diminished. A couple of years ago I started experimenting with C in AmigaOS, and I wanted to take on something substantial as a challenge for myself.

Since I use a tiling window manager for most of my daily work, I wanted to explore if a tiling wm was possible using AmigaOS' Intuition library. I also wanted to write some C. I have had lots of fun and learned alot - the project has been a labor of love really. Dintwm should be fairly easy to extend and is already quite customizable through tooltypes. Dintwm is also available on aminet: http://aminet.net/package/util/wb/dintwm

I don't think google muscling out intermediaries like Expedia is a good thing.

Just for example, Expedia is probably 5% of Google's total revenue and Google doesn't like slim margin services by and large that can't be automated.

Travel is fairly high-touch - people centric. It doesn't fit Google's "MO".

But... its shitty that google can play all sides of the markets while holding people ransom to mass sums of money to pay to play on PPC where google doesn't... i think that's where the problem shines.

In essence, you're advocating that eBay goes away because google could do it... they could.. and eBay is technically just an intermediary, but do we want everything to be googlefied?

Google bought up/destroyed other aggregators - remember the days of fatwallet, priceline, pricewatch, shopzilla and such when they used to focus on discounts/coupons/deals and now they're moving more towards rewards/shopping/experience - it used to be i could do PPC on pricewatch and reach millions of shoppers are a reasonable rate, but now that google destroyed them all, the PPC rate on "goods" is absurdly high and not having an affordable market means only the amazons and walmarts can really afford to play...

it used to be you could niche out, but even then, that's getting harder

> If you ask the machine it's an array of integers

Not sure what you mean by this. A string is an array of bytes, in the way that literally every array is an array of bytes, but its not "implemented" with integers. Its a UTC-encoded array of bytes.

And what is the information that is encoded in those bytes? Codepoints. That's what UTF does, it lets us store unicode codepoints as bytes. There is a reasonable argument that the machine, or at least the developer, considers a string as an array of codepoints.
I lived off $10 an hour for a few months and no longer care about compensation. It's great. Previously I was chasing over 200k+ type roles I hated. Now, like I said I don't care and am just grateful to be employed with compensation above survival.
When you operate commercial sites at scale, bots are a real thing you spend real engineering hours thinking about and troubleshooting and coding to solve for.

And yes, that means google gets special treatment.

Think about the model for a site like stackoverflow. The longest of long tail questions on that site: what’s the actual lifecycle of that question?

- posted by a random user
- scraped by google, bing, et al
- visited by someone who clicked on a search result on google
- eventually, answered
- hopefully, reindexed by google, bing et al
- maybe never visited again because the answer now shows up on the google SERP

In the lifetime of that question how many times is it accessed by a human, compared to the number of times it’s requested and rerequested by an indexing bot?

What would be the impact on your site of three more bots as persistent as google bot? Why should you bother with their requests?

So yes, sites care about bot traffic and they care about google in particular.
I would reverse it.

I think we should deconflict managers from leaders. Managers are people who facilitate employees' productivity and HR matters, whereas leaders trail-blaze priorities, philosophy, and mentor towards the actual work. The issue is trying to make a senior leader into both a leader and a manager, when these are very different skillsets and both take a great deal of time. IMO, it's better to do like Google by having managers that aren't micromanaging tasks but are there to provide assistance.

tl;dr: Let the leaders lead and the managers manage. It's nice when one person can do both well, but that's an unreasonable expectation for the amount of work involved.

It's not that women candidates (or anyone) are necessarily less adept at negotiations, it's that those that they are negotiating with could potentially be less apt to pay more to that specific person due to their identification or any other reason. This gets rid of that bias.
what’s wrong with bonuses in this case? % based salary increases purely on performance compound out of control if you’re not careful, and lead to widely disparate pay. I’d prefer clearly defined salary banding and bonus structure, personally.
Oh, status. I was thinking of schedules. Still, what is the point for the consumer of being directed to an airline's terrible status page? And are they even capable of being crawled? Looking at American's site (it was the most ghastly airline that sprang to mind) I don't see how a crawler would be able to deal with it, and indeed the Google snippet for AA flight status, on the aa.com result which is far down in the results page, just says "aa.com uses cookies" which is about what you'd expect.

In this case, I want to be sent literally anywhere but aa.com.

I think that's true only in the narrowest sense of the C language standard. At the ABI and runtime linkage level, platforms (yes, every single one of them) document data in the .bss section to be zero, and C compilers place pointers there that are defined to be initialized to NULL per the standard.

So, no, in practice it's well-defined, fully specified behavior on any given platform.

All the talk is about community, mainly related to gaming. I think there is more to Discord: it's a great platform for programming projects. There are quite a few there already and with a few more developer friendly features it may just snowball. It's a great addition to GitHub for discussing functionality, posting tests, ideas, protect related news or even loose chat.

You can combine developers, users, fans having access to the same community (with some channels being exclusive for a given group and other being public). There might be a technical discussion about implementing a given feature or optimizing part of the code in one channel and related YouTube videos in a media related channel. Two examples are Leela Zero and Leela Chess Zero projects. Check them out, it's something you will never get on a platform like GitHub.

There is nothing like that anywhere else. It's very unique experience you will never get on GitHub, Slack or anywhere else.
It seems to stitch together parts involving a swordsman from various different texts each having a part of the seed text I had included. Is this the expected behaviour ?

Seed: As the first rays of the rising sun slowly crept over the Krollian plain, the swordsman started packing his gear and cleaning his campsite. He knew he should have left earlier to avoid the Kroll patrols, but the alcohol laced sleep helped drown his nightmares of the burning city he left behind.

Generated Content

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

While traveling to the edge of town, the lone swordsman was hit in the side by lightning from a cloud which burned on the horizon far away. Only a strong enough will to fight his way through the raging blaze could stop it, as was the case with this very evening.

The last thing the fighter wanted to see was a fire that destroyed the world, but an open area next to the road just above the river allowed him to climb down into a crevice formed by some sort of underground caverns. At the same time, lightning struck down all around him killing a lot of people who stood outside the cave. He didn't pay them any mind, as he didn't particularly care whether they lived or died.

The darkness that engulfed his senses took hold of his body so he was able to reach out for help, but the blackness was too powerful for most people to reach. It took more energy than he gave himself to bring back to existence, much less deal with getting inside with nothing but a short sword. After taking a few moments where he thought he couldn't survive the ordeal, the only option was to leave the cavern. Luckily, a few of us could come back, perhaps a dozen people, until the darkness faded away before he decided to give up.

This night would decide his life's future, if he had one. Once at least he knew what fate laid ahead. But there would not even be another sunrise yet, and he would spend the night in darkness alone, if he could even survive that. Fortunately, somewhere in
A fun problem on a Mac is that if you're using APFS for your filesystem, if it fills up, you can't delete any files. It's caught me out a handful of times, and each time, the only way to recover is to reboot, and thankfully I've had more free disk space after a reboot.

I'm not going to try to understand the logic as to why APFS requires free space in order to delete files (via any method, including dd)

What should the company do if they need to hire an expert and just none of the experts available are interested in the value of the non-negotiable compensation? Just give up and not build the thing they need? It’s in everyone’s interest to attract the right people.

The first link doesn't seem quite conclusive (see the part at the bottom), and also doesn't give evidence that Google's widgets are to blame.

The flattening of users could also be due to a general internet-wide reduction in long-form (or even medium-form) non-fiction reading. How are page views for The New York Times?

Seems like it should be simple to A/B test, though. Obviously Google could do it themselves by randomly taking away the widget, but would could also see whether referrals from non-Google search engines (though they are themselves a tiny percentage) continue to increase while Google remains flat.
In Ontario Canada, we digitized the system and then sold it off to cover a deficit.

You can still pay the legislated $6 or whatever for each individual search, but they can slice and dice it and charge whatever they like for useful access to data only they have.

Now someone else can make a 10% return on equity at the public’s expense instead of just issuing a bond at 3%.

Input costs and final price are what matter to profitability. The machines are part input cost, but they are spread across many different products, often over years.

The reason an idle machine is bad is because you have to pay interest on the loan (write downs and all that complexity). You also have to pay rent (taxes) on the building they are in. You need to do basic maintenance (HVAC so they don't deteriorate). You need to ensure the machine operator (which might be a rare skill) is available when you put it back to work, which might mean paying the operator to do nothing just so he doesn't find a new job while laid off. All of these raise the input cost of restarting after a long period of being idle - sometimes you are better off scraping the machines and buying new if you need them.

Against that you have demand and ability to store the finished product. Some things can be stored up (just in time calls this bad, but it isn't always a bad thing), while others degrade quickly. Some things your customers will order well in advance so you can plan around demand, while others you get an order for "yesterday" (if only you had a time machine).

Depending on how all of the above work out idle factories have different economics.

Did you try Pharo[1]? I started a MOOC[2] on it a few months ago, and I think it is reasonably well documented. Besides the MOOC, there are several free books that cover the basics of the language itself[3][4], data visualisation[5] and numeric stuff[6]. The in-system help is also formidable. You can actually search a method just by giving a example of what you want to do. See for example [7]. The only issue is, as it is developed at a fast pace, documentation tends to get a bit dated quickly.

Decoding the Falcon-9 upper stage
That's true, but it can save you a ton of money. You just have to be aware of the risks and plan accordingly.

I have typically used this strategy when flying back to the US from the EU. Take an EZJet or similar low cost airline from random small EU city to a larger EU city like Paris, London, Frankfurt, etc... and book the return trip to the US from the larger city. I've also been forced to do this from some EU cities since there was no connecting partner with a US airline.
If you're using them to pass around mutable state, yes.

Which is why immutable/pure-functional is always the best first choice.

If it's inconvenient to do something with pure functions, and you want to pass a bit of state around, you can use the State monad - it's 'simulated' mutable state, in that it's all pure functions under the hood, but it looks and feels like you're doing mutation.

If it's too inefficient to simulate state via the State monad, you can use state threads (ST). This is more efficient in that it compiles down to real mutations, but it's safe in that you can't share your mutations until you've exited the ST. So it should force determinism. This is what you'd use for a fast, mutable, in-place sort.

The above two solutions rule out having multiple writers, which is where STM (software transactional memory comes in). STM gives you atomic blocks which behave more or less like (in-memory) database transactions. I mainly use it for implementing workers and jobs and queues, etc.

And if you actually just want to do anything then you use IO.

It's more about being aware (in a compiler-checkable way) whether you're mutating or not than it is about outlawing mutation.
Don’t work in tech for a living anymore so no real horse. But wow. Market entry level pay in Low low COL (like not SV or Boston) 20 years ago when I got a job - about 55k.

Half the blog posts on this of course are intellectualization of why this isn’t sad.

This is often a very good reason why many sucessfull startups sell.

Also many of the founders have an "entrepreneurial spirit", which really means to me they prefer to start things, make it a success (or not) and then move on, over and over again. They are not often a "lifer" that hang on at the same company till they retire. Some are, many not.

It also takes the privilege of time. For example, a single childless person likely has more time for personal projects than a single parent of 3. This does not mean one is a better candidate than the other.

You can have both of those things without "passion".

I definitely think that if every employer used Netflix's strategy there would be issues, but if the job market had more churn stability would take on a different meaning. Imagine that it was expected to change jobs frequently if you or your employer was unhappy; I'd bet lots of people would be way happier.

The problem is of course that even if you have every reason to think that some other place would hire you, you need a degree of slack to begin with. There aren't any easy answers there, but that's where I'd say an expanded social safety net should come in.
