It's a good strategy against those that don't know it. Basically, you are biasing towards consistent growth and avoiding spreading yourself too thin.
I think the point is that you used the service when VC money was being used to subsidize your ride. This is zero sum. Obviously the market for rides increases once the cost is artificially depressed.

From the UX perspective, Uber combines payment processing and ride ordering in an app. Obviously an improvement over calling a Taxi dispatcher and telling them when/where to pick you up. But is that billions of dollars in value? Or is the majority of that value just being scooped up from previous incumbents?

The economics of the industry haven't changed dramatically - it's expensive to pay people to be your chauffeur.
Record growth only because of scummy ways. If they actually play by aome rule book, that growth wouldn't be record setting. I say tie share price to minimum wage workers. I don't get why some lucky dinosaurs should get to burn up in golden rockets, funding the publics hate for the poor. How pathetic.
The risk argument of getting COVID(and its short and long term side effects) vs vaccine(and its side effects) should be simple enough. The vaccine is being used by several million people in the world. If it had any super weird short term side effects, you would have known about it by now. If you are concerned about the unknown long term side effects or the vaccine - have you thought about the unknown long term side effects of catching COVID?

Nett win for vaccines don't you think?

Also, you get to break the chain of the pandemic and save a few lives along the way..

What has me wanting to stick with postgres is that I work on a small team (two developers) and adding more technologies to our stack is extra overhead that's hard to justify. At our peak we're currently handling one request per second, and postgres for a queue is more than sufficient for that. Is there any good reason for us to add, learn, and maintain a technology neither of us yet knows? Or would we do just as well to abstract away the queue in the code so that we can switch to redis when we do run into scaling problems?
The article lets me wonder: what is a molecule?

I can see how one might arrive at Sc1.5Al0.5W3O12 - but that suggests that one Sc and one Al atom are shared between two of this stuff's molecules.

Anyone an idea why you wouldn't consider that one the molecule, i.e. Sc3AlW6O24?

America really wins in marketing and consumerism - especially when appealing to the American consumer
If you expect “high-skilled” workers to work for the minimum wage for that industry, or not much more, then it’s not a worker shortage, it’s a wage shortage.

There was ferocious and copious competition for each and every well-paying job I have ever applied to.

Conversely, any low-paying opening for a high-tech position has ALWAYS had a difficulty in filling and keeping that position filled.

Anything will “sell” if it’s at the right “price”. If it’s not selling, that’d because it’s not at the right price.

Business owners: if you have ANY sort of a position that needs filling, but you cannot find anyone to fill it, LOOK IN THE MIRROR TO FIND THE TRUE ROOT PROBLEM. Because that sounds very much like a “you” problem.

TL;DR: the “free market” applies in all directions, including business owners looking to find employees. If no-one is applying, what you are offering is below what the free market will support, because the free market doesn’t give a single shit as to what YOU think the job is worth. And no amount of whining about “lazy, entitled employees” will change the fact that if you pay only peanuts, all that you will get will be monkeys.

I encountered the "your ISP injects broken Javascript into all HTTP pages" problem around 2016. Someone thought I had done a poor job on a site I built for them. It turned out the Javascript on the page wasn't from the site I built, it was injected by the ISP, one of the UK's largest mobile data providers.

We fixed the problem by switching to HTTPS.

The progressive enhancement way to do show/hide sidebar used to be to have the sidebar content displayed in full at the bottom of the page, then use an anchor link that jumps the user down to that content.

Then the JavaScript that loads can hide that area and cause it to display in place when the show link is clicked.

Or... these days you can get a lot done with the HTML summary/details elements - including implementing popup menus.

Outlier Detection Techniques with Code in Python
> Have you been vaccinated or are you planning to?

Typical answer from someone who is somewhat well-versed in logic: yes.
I'm not getting the vaccine, but our family had COVID early and it's not likely to help us anyway. My wife has already had a couple of incidents where she's been asked about vaccination and they had no provision for "infected and recovered", just vaccinated or not.

I expect the worst side effects are already apparent; and the ones that will trouble the most people for the longest are bureaucratic bullshit rules adopted in haste and never reviewed.

Isn't migrating a queue super simple? Have a window in which you only add to the new system and you listen to both. When the old queue is empty, delete it.

If you need to keep track of old data, then yes, migration is hard. But queues don't save old data—that's the point of a queue.

Chat with GPT-3: Rust teacher potential
This Q&A is between me and a very clever, wise, visionary, benevolent and almighty intelligence.

(...)
Me>Rust, what is this?
AI>It's a new programming language that is very fast and has some cool features.
Me>Which kind of cool features?
AI>It has a type system and it's memory safe.
Me>Wow. How does it do that? Garbage collecting?
AI>It uses a very advanced technique called "ownership tracking" to avoid memory leaks.
Me>How would you define the equivalent of a class in Rust?
AI>It's called a struct.
Me>Can structs have methods?
AI>Yes, they can.
Me>What are the types in Rust?
AI>There are primitive types like int, bool, float and so on. Then there are structs. And then there is a type that encompasses everything else called "Trait".
Me>Can you call C++ from Rust?
AI>Yes, you can.
Me>What does it means String::from in Rust?
AI>String::from is a function that converts a string to a String.
Me>What's the difference between a string and a String?
AI>A string is a primitive type. A String is a struct.
Me>What is a Crate in Rust?
AI>A crate is a library.
Me>Why is it called like that?
AI>Rust is a programming language that is designed for safety and speed.
Me>and?
AI>And it's called Rust because rust is a very hard material.
Me>so what about crates?
AI>They are hard to build.
Me>What's a hello world in Rust?
AI>println!("Hello, world!");
Me>Can you write the same code but add a variable to store the string?
AI>let hello = "Hello, world!"; println!("{}", hello);
Me>Can you make hello a function?
AI>let hello = |str| { println!("{}", str); It's not a function, it's a closure.
Me> Can you fix me this code so that it works: let hello = |str] { println!("{}", str);
AI> let hello = |str| { println!("{}", str);
Me> Can you explain the mistake I did?
AI> |str] {
Me> Why is it a mistake?
AI> Because |str] is a syntax error. The correct syntax is |str| .
Avaddon ransomware shuts down and releases decryption keys
I think you're projecting. I'm not thinking at the small scale or missing the forest for the tree. I'm filtering out the implementation details that don't ultimately matter that much.

3 months vacations and a relaxed work ethic are absolutely compatible with issues of housing, Healthcare, and climate change. VC funded start-up oriented solutions are not the only thing that can be done to fix this issue, not by a long shot.

Healthcare is a political decision, to begin with, and many EU countries with all of the things you decry basically solved it. Housing is the same way, it's a collective problem that has to be solved collectively.

Emergency earthquake notifications is 70s tech. Fancy machine learning approaches to earthquake prediction barely outperform basic linear regression techniques. Emergency notification systems are a solved pro le..

Automatic emergency braking was never developed by American big tech. It was first implemented commercially in Japanese cars. But even here, AEB is a case of small scale thinking - the best way of fixing the issues it targets is not tech but city design.

Qualcomm isn't the reason android phones are slow. Qualcomm processors are more than fast enough to do 95% of what you would want to do. The issue is devs who code for the iPhone. Making every processor as fast as the A14 will never happen, people will use lower end processors to save money then.

Again, it's just missing the forest for the trees again. The reason why we have the issues we have is, in most cases, not by a lack of tech, but because of other issues. Big tech is not the universal solution to the important problems.

By the way, your segment on Google Maps is simply wrong. Digital maps were already used for navigation by then. Google just bought a startup and won the market against Microsoft and OpenStreetMaps. If they lost we'd be using OSM or something from MS instead.
I think you got it wrong. He meant servers, not Windows machines.
But you will have marked it as in progress by setting the "expire" to a non-zero value, preventing any other workers from trying to work on it. How will they know that the worker which marked it actually crashed and will never finish?

By using SELECT ... FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED, the record will automatically get unlocked if the worker crashes.
They became a social media site by mistake and probably didn't have the right teams in place to build a platform like FB. Mistake is probably a harsh term. They actually started off as a file sharing site and you could mount their site as a drive on your machine. I had to register all their first domains, including mydiskspace, mylinuxspace, mywindowsspace, and many many others. I remember this because I had to use painful email forms with internic. The first few years were focused around storage optimization. There was no de-duplication and storage became really expensive. I believe this was one of the things sinking them. Eventually they wanted out and they were bought out. They went through significant business model changes and vendor changes prior to their buyout. Becoming a social media site was probably the right direction, but happened a little too late and they were dragging a bit of financial baggage.
What's funny to me is how many people forget that JavaScript is a web standard. By all means disable JS - it's great that the web offers this level of control. But if something goes wrong, just remember it's the client breaking the standard, not the website. Direct your blame appropriately.
I have been asked this question in interviews for how to prevent two people from booking the same seat. Interviewers don’t seem to be satisfied by the answer that I will let the query go to the database and see who ends up booking. They want some advanced locking mechanism using redis. Redis does serialize queries using lua thus avoiding two people from booking the same seat.
I like those games I think. The alternative is chance, and that’s very dissatisfying.
> sell them like they are saving humanity. It is just sales all the way down.

Yeah this is the core of it. Most American devs realize this way too late, and as a result I think it powers the activism at US companies. Later in the game, they realize it’s all some form of adtech/sales/so on all the way down, so want to inject new meaning into their employment narrative.

I don’t have an answer for you other than agreeing with you. If you’re ok not looking for deep meaning through work, tech can present compensation and work life balance fo basically check out any direction of meaning fulfillment you like. Just… what to do? I empathize a lot.

Fwiw, my loose solution is two approaches:

- working in tech companies or open source projects that really present something different as an industry outlook if things work out. Crypto/btc open source comes to mind.

- or, seek out the really high comp tech jobs that are non-FAANG, and buy a new life basically after a few years there and saving.
Do you think OSM was going to not bring the data to the masses? Or that no developper was going to make apps that used that data?
That's close to how emacs reads/writes remote files via TRAMP. I think it throws gzip in there too but I'm not entirely clear on the fine details.
I worked at Best Buy from 97-02 and don’t recall having a any prerecorded content for MD’s or if we did it was almost non existent. Your explanation is the correct answer as the onerous drm and Sony way of doing things limited the market appeal. I think they eased up the restrictions when MP3’s starting getting big but then it was too late.
Alongside the well-known ones, and Zile, another GNU text editor is Moe.
How much later? The experience I described was about 2000-2001, and it was far from seconds.

To be fair, encoding to MP3 wasn't exactly speedy on the machines at the time (compared to the present day), but converting to ATRAC was significantly slower.
But it's a choice, like not having a smartphone, the rest of us still want and can have nice things. In the cases where it's not a choice it's something else, some may need to make sure it still works. I'm not going to do it, I have no reason to.

Depends; etymonline says this:

> from Greek elephas (genitive elephantos) "elephant; ivory," probably from a non-Indo-European language, likely via Phoenician (compare Hamitic elu "elephant," source of the word for it in many Semitic languages, or possibly from Sanskrit ibhah "elephant").

So the Greek word is not necessarily native to Greek.

We tried it with just PostgreSQL and struggled with missed jobs. We tried it with Redis + PostgreSQL and haven't looked back. I'll take the blame for not engineering the first version adequately (this was before upsert) but Redis has been useful in so other ways that I'm glad it ended up in our architecture.
Sony has to be a case study in something. They had pretty much the Apple stores of the day (though not at nearly the same scale). You'd browse the one at the Metreon in SF to see the cool consumer electronics (as well as some pretty nice laptops for the time). Now? They're pretty much one of the many more or less interchangeable electronics manufacturers. Many categories of which where Sony was a premium (mainstream) provider like home stereos seem much diminished, at least anecdotally.

Hmm ... that is an interesting take on it. I.e. guests with even customer id:s can have all rooms.

I remember many of their features not working at all before they were even bought. Whereas everything Facebook rolls out just works. They famously had a chat feature that never worked for anyone.

Sloppy engineering is common and more acceptable in the enterprise world but unforgivable by consumers when something better comes along.
This seemed mostly dismissive and patronizing and manipulative -- meaning, that is how op treated his underlings.

Part of that is because their idea of venting is inherently just a worker being a spoiled brat or unjustifiably disaffected.

The point of the advice here seems to be

How to get thru your 1on1s in a way that tries to leave a generally positive impression on all the folks who hate their jobs

Which is most of them

For the purpose of helping op earn that next promotion

All that said

I hate 1on1s

I don't think I have ever gotten anything of value from them except to know with more conviction that I needed to bounce

And I'm guessing the manager has gotten the same impression

I suspect 1on1s could be useful in some way to the org or manager or employee

But I doubt it
