You know, nothing really happened, some technical discussion is being derailed and moved into personal ground, where they can call my behavior wrong or accuse of being mean. Ok, i got the message, and we're good for now, but next time i will avoid any discussion with them knowing that we will go again into blaming. And so such person gets special treatment from the team.
I was thinking the other night, PCA can be on used on images for compression, what would it look like if you took two images, combined into pairs the principle components, and then lerped between them as a transition effect.
Not really. There's multiple kinds of dropshipping sources, be it ecomm, wholesalers, or manufacturers. Dropshipping is when a seller has their vendor send customers their orders directly. It can be JIT fulfillment but it depends on the vendors' ability to source product. No one really wants to hold inventory because it deprecates.

I have so many colleagues with that sentiment who give terrible plans because ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it’s research. They mostly talk about timelines for the big end goal pie in the sky, and they’re generally wrong. That was me when I was more junior.

I also have colleagues who promise small concrete incremental deliverables in predictable timelines. They rarely talk concretely about the big end goal pie in the sky’s timeline, but generally deliver the big thing sooner anyways.

The answer isn’t making reasonable estimates of an inestimable thing, it’s providing reasonable estimates for the reasonably estimable pieces. Instead of “we’ll have ultra mega science in three to five years!” it’s, “we’ll have this specific piece of the stack built by 2022 and we hope it’ll enable these other slightly less concrete things towards ultra mega science.”
Oops, you’re right! :)
Free is great, and you can get a decent mileage out of cobbling together a few services.

But I'd personally be way too stressed and annoyed by worrying about the often very restrictive free tier limits. You can very easily blow through the network egress, for example.

For things I want to be cheap I've started hosting a lot of things on Hetzner Cloud [1].

Even their cheapest instance (1vCPU/2GB RAM/20TB traffic) at 2.5 Euro/month can run a k3s Kubernetes cluster with Traefik ingress, loki logging, their own CSI driver, cert-manager, Grafana and a 2 or 3 light weight Go/Rust services. With their Terraform provider I can easily scale up the cluster in less than a minute.

And since it's Kubernetes I can also always move things to GC or AWS if required.

That's incredibly cheap, and you don't have to worry about limits or free tier periods ending, etc. It's a long-term solution.

I'm sure there are some other similar providers out there.

edit: to be clear, I also have clients with sizable production workloads on the same infrastructure, it's not just for tiny toy deployments. Above is just an example how far you can go for almost no money.

Why AI Is Harder Than We Think [video]
If you’re not military, it is poor form for you to use that joke.
Some jokes are inside jokes, and offensive for others to say. It’s hard to explain, but I wanted to let you know.

And yes, hurry up and wait is the first thing I learned in Navy boot camp! I think it’s a military wide ethos.
In a professional context I've completely abandoned British English. Anything informal I still use it but for writing code and communications it seems more polite especially for people who speak English as a second language.

As much as would have liked it to be the reverse think it's fair to say that American English is now completely dominant worldwide and that will only continue.
You could say the same of IT in insurance or banking though.

A browser doesn't have enough information to use this optimization. At the point where it's about to request an image, it doesn't know how large the resource will be, whether it'll be a progressive JPEG, or even whether it'll be a JPEG at all. Making range requests blindly would probably be a net loss -- for every progressive JPEG that the browser managed to save some time on, it'd have to make follow-up requests for many more non-progressive JPEGs, non-JPEG images, and progressive JPEGs which it didn't get enough data from on the first try.

Any hot swappable ergonomic board will be fine. Hot swappable means the switches can be pulled out of the sockets on the circuit board. Otherwise, you'd have to desolder the switches.

Edit: Do not worry, assembling a keyboard from parts is childs play. There's not a lot that can go wrong, just be careful not to damage the circuit board, and check that it fits the case.

Home charging is great, but it only works out for people who have off street parking. That leaves a lot of people without off street parking that must use public chargers only, and that's very inconvenient.
I was wondering if I was going blind for a while, staring seconds at websites trying to find where to login. Now I do what 'the computer illiterate' have apparently done for years; never go to the sites themselves, just put 'DigitalOcean login' etc in the addressbar (duckduckgo(or google)) and there you are.
Well, I understand that feeling. I nearly gave up half way through my prior comment too for the same reasons. I hope at least you understand the experiences and reasoning behind the viewpoint, and see that it's not mere reactionism but motivated by things happening in the real world, even if it seems remote from your world or if you take away fundamentally different conclusions. That is perhaps enough.
It's been years now since I actually went looking for a job. Every move I've made in the past few years has either been via a previous contact or after being approached by a recruiter on LinkedIn.

There's a lot of bullshit jobs on offer, and a lot of below average payers out there, but as long as you're up front about the money you want straight away, it's easy to filter out the nonsense jobs.

My immediate reply to any LinkedIn message if I'm considering a move is to ask for the day rate / salary range. It's usually too low, at which point the conversation stops, but if it's worth, the conversation continues.

As for making posts myself -- that only attracts likes and comments from previous colleagues. It doesn't contribute to future job approaches.
The big issue with this is apple does not own all of the IP in a any of their hardware, much of it is a mixture of licenses from many vendors some of it owned by apple much of it just licensed.

Apples licenses for these will include very strict NDA clauses that make it impossible for apple to share the documentation they are provided but that vendor.

This is both a clever hack and a brilliant solution. But it also worries me a bit. Mostly because I've seen a lot of Visual Basic + MS Access solutions. They work fine on a single computer, but they you put a database on a network share to be able to share it between a few computers and the performance is often horrendous. If you're doing a lot of data processing it's often best to do it as close to the data as possible.

But as always, it's seldom the tools, but the right tool used for the wrong usecase that is the problem.
Not OP, but I think you are misreading their point. They didn't say that having a governing body is a sufficient condition for having a stable currency, they said it's necessary. It might not be a settled question how monetary policy affects inflation, but cryptocurrencies effectively have no monetary policy apart from a ramp decided when they are created. That doesn't take into account lost wallet keys or number of people using it and mining it...
I don’t get Elon hate just the way I don’t get fanboyism and cult following. Neither side provides an objective and truthful representation of reality.

No single personality can be 100% perfect. Let’s not ignore pretty much the entire world changing revolution of EVs and reusable rocketry, while focusing on the guy’s public persona and how he behaves that’s apparent to us and project what he must be like in general. Seems deeply and profoundly unfair.

Why can’t someone have flaws which is ok to point out, but then ignore their accomplishments. Opposite also stands! Fanboys of Elon think he is some kind of a messiah to save the world from global collapse but turn a blind eye to his rather rude behavior?

It’s like populism has a reverse backside of the coin.
Not everywhere has US style property taxes. More likely the problem relates to ownership and title: quite likely a lot of property will technically be squatting. The book "The Other Path" by Hernando de Soto goes into this; the best solution is to award title to long term occupiers.
I agree with self driving... But Tesla IS shipping a heck of a lot of cars, now. And sending people to the Moon and Mars seem increasingly likely.
That sounds like the conclusion from the book The Mystery of Capital: Why Capitalism Triumphs in the West and Fails Everywhere Else, by Hernando de Soto (2000).

In his research he found that the legal system around property was very ineffective for poor people and many developing countries. They followed real life cases trying to bring properties/businesses from the informal sector to being fully registered and taxed.

It was often a many year process and expensive. Owners would also have preferred to pay taxed when getting access to fully legal status, access to banking and capital markets an important one.

Findings where from places like Peru, Egypt, Philippines (if memory serves me), and contrasted with places like US, Germany, England, Sweden, and Japan. The latter mostly had a well structured, democratic system of property law and registries available to everyone, not just the wealthy or powerful.

Edit: Another key element was to open a process to convert squatted land into legal property. Many times formal land ownership was not conforming to lived reality, and some legal title nobody was interested in any longer was blocking legalization of actual use. US homesteading regulations are one example of how that was done, but all western countries mentioned earlier have or had equivalent processes.
This is great but wish it had write ability, not just read only.
I'd be curious whether there's any changes which could be made in the file format to optimize for read-only usage. The SQLite format probably has some features which aren't needed in this context -- information about free pages and autoincrement counters isn't relevant in a read-only file, for instance.

In an early stage startup, why not use an ORM with a built-in migration engine (django migrations, alembic,...)

But who would they sell things to?

I mean, if we're just down to the capital class, there simply will not be enough of them to buy from each other to sustain an economy. Those payroll and hr people also happen to buy people's products, which AI never will. If there is no IRS and no tax filers, there goes a lot of purchasing power.

You can't create or compete if no one is there to buy them.
In the 2006 War in Lebanon, the Canadian Embassy in Riyadh was shocked to find out that there were 10x as many Canadians in Lebanon than expected. Indians leave India, get Canadian residency, (maybe) live as NRI's and then return. That's why there are so many Canadians in India.

> the developers that cared about bitcoin have left

Just repeating it doesn't make it true. Pretty ironic to say you rarely "hear anything new coming from the bitcoin camp, no development discussion" on a thread exactly about such a thing.

I dunno what if it's you or I that inhabit a weird alternative reality, but one of us does because there is constant exciting Bitcoin news... and sure, a lot of memes too, they're often pretty funny even if a bit much. But over time the character of the news will become different as Bitcoin becomes more ubiquitous.
> How do we know that the sun isn't orbiting the fixed earth, and accelerating toward the earth? Everything would look _exactly_ the same to everyone.

That wouldn't work out. You can take the earth as a fixed point and describe the Sun's motion relative to it, and it would be perfectly valid, but it wouldn't look as the Sun orbiting the Earth in any kind of almost constant speed elliptical orbit, it would look like a very different kind of motion.

Then you look at the Windows 10 list of crapware and it becomes a lot clearer.

Is there an actual causal relationship? And which crapware specifically? Asking because I only have access to a bunch of Windows 10 Pro machines which already don't seem to have most of crapware on there (i.e. often I see threads here where people complain about all kinds of ads and other things I never even knew existed) and the rest disabled (as far as I can tell) and still it's less snapy than this one Windows Server instance on comparable machine. (and sadly no single modern OS feels as snappy as even Windows XP SP2 for a similar level of functionality on not-so-recent hardware)

I have the same with use, which apparently I cannot type without the r as in user. And intern, which my brain insists on autocorrecting to internet.
I would bet that if you compare it to a traditional server-client database (which functionally does essentially the same thing: you send it a query over the network, and get a result back), the overhead is probably massive. This is a very clever way to cram that kind of functionality into a static hosting site, and you can imagine some uses for it, but it's clearly not a particularly efficient compared to doing it the "right" way.
Tesler’s Law
Tesler’s Law, also known as "The Law of Conservation of Complexity", states that for any system there is a certain amount of complexity which cannot be reduced.

No matter which side you choose, complexity just doesn’t go away. All processes have a core of complexity that cannot be designed away. The only question is what handles it: "the system", or "the user".

By creating a control, the designer is making a choice, saying to the user in effect, “You handle this.” But if the system has to handle the complexity, it means all kinds of decisions have to be made for the user — your defaults have to be smart, and god help you if you get them wrong.

For instance in Ghana, most land is leasehold not freehold due to the fact that land historically belonged to a family group or community rather than a person. Thus central government schemes to tax land have two arguments against them. First is that no one knows who will be taxed, and since who is taxed is synonymous with who owns the property that’s an added problem as people believe they are being unfairly deprived of their birth rights. Secondly, taxing property which is leasehold is problematic as the people making use of the land aren’t the owners. The owners have generally already spent the leasehold advance, and in the case of 99 year leases are likely already dead. So, the only people you can collect from are the tenants which leads you right back into problem 1.

In practice though, people pay property tax on assessed value of buildings, but it’s not the same as land tax so an unfinished building can be counted as worthless depending on its state.

Sure, and if you take even smaller fraction you may find numbers like 50% or higher. But what does it have to do with general situation we are talking about?

This sounds like those weird surveys: "9 out of 10 people said that quit smoking this yeah!" but after reading more you realise they were talking to people from a hospice or tuberculosis dispensary.

Okay. That's your stance, I accept it. Mine is that 2% is nowhere.

I bet the reason for leaving has more to do with a vision they disagree with, some internal inter personal issues, or something similar. Or possibly there are competitors that are offering attractive salaries. Who knows? Ethics are very unlikely to be a factor here.

Anyway, us fiddling with nature is our very nature. It's what we do. Modern society is the result of thousands of years us fiddling with all sorts of stuff. I'd argue the net result isn't all bad.

> For that matter, what stops individuals exchanging private keys instead?

This could work if you were only making transactions with people you trust, at least in the short term. The main risk here is anyone with the private key could transfer the contents of the wallet. The seller could even sell the same wallet to multiple people. So you need to get the blockchain involved and transfer it to a wallet that the previous seller no longer has access to.
