There is a place for low code like system administration or application configuration. Eventually all end user software will hit boundary conditions because it’s impossible to test for all permutations the moment you go beyond the simplest applications.
Interesting. Been using day one for years. Wonder how this will impact the app.
I use `git grep` all the time, and I'm always amazed how crazy fast it is on huge repos. And, of course, that also uses gitignore, has many parameters (including path filters after --).

I guess ripgrep might be worth trying. Anyone used both of these who can compare? I'd like to know what I'm missing out on.
I'll go try it. Why couldn't you do that in flats?
You're still looking at it from the perspective of how everything works today.

Really think hard about what a multi trillion dollar worldwide financial system will mean and you'll see so many new possibilities open up.

For example, how do you start a company to insure farmers in Kenya today? You have to find a large company with a large pool of money available who ALSO has to think investing in farmers in Kenya is a good idea AND is willing to put in the effort to work with you to set this up. This is almost impossible to find, so this is a startup that most likely won't succeed.

Now in 2040, there is a global decentralized insurance marketplace. On this marketplace you can describe the type of insurance you require (perhaps insurance against lack of rain, perhaps cyclone insurance) and put it online. People and companies from all over the world can look at the request, run the numbers, and invest in your project.

Not everyone will be using these tools, but when everyone has access to them startups all over the world can flourish by building real products for real people using this liquidity as their backend.

Great points. I would say some of the most annoying new members are the ones that go around saying "you should have used [insert whatever hot tool] instead" after spending an hour learning about a project just because they read it somewhere. It can take months before you understand the decisions and context behind a software project that has been maintained for a while.
A few things I like about this work:

- With generative art there's usually a tension between variety and beauty, but Fidenza achieves an extraordinarily high level of both.

- I like the Artblocks model in general. Pieces are minted on-chain. It means the artist can't curate the output, so the algorithm itself is the art. Artists have been making generative art for decades, but it feels like this is the way it was always meant to be done.

- Artists can make certain outcomes of their generative algorithms more rare than others. The decision of what should be common or rare can be made for commercial reasons (kind of like hologram trading cards), or artistic reasons. After studying all the ways Fidenza runs, it seems like Tyler Hobbs has hewed really closely to the artistic ideal.
Yah, just saw it.
Satya Nadella's Growth Mindset
We are indeed already a little ways down that road, and the answer we've come to is: Everyone still has to work.

Most jobs that people have now aren't strictly necessary. If everyone gave up their leisure time to do all of their own cooking and cleaning, a massive set of jobs would disappear overnight. If we all at local, another. And the list goes on. Effectively, what happens is, we invent new jobs that are based on want as opposed to need. It's easy to look at that picture and say 'there is so much unnecessary work that happens!' but really, that X% of the economy based on want is required for price discovery of the rest. That is what your last paragraph is touching on, how do we decide who does what and how much? In capitalism, the answer is price discovery, and for that to work, everyone has to participate in the market.
Right, but in soccer it's the coach's decision what positions are even being played on the field. In my opinion, the combination of player's individual agency straining against a manager/head coach's /system/ makes it even more challenging.
This does not make sense to me, I must be missing something important. If your input is an encrypted state of a Turing machine, then isn't FHE able to simulate the evolution of that Turing machine (hence keeping state and secrets without divulging them)? After all, there is no real difference between data and program.
It can be found to an extent during interviews -

1. How frequently they deploy it to prod? And, how?

2. How they design, develop and test their code.

3. What’s their tech debt? And, how they are addressing it.

Let’s talk about the worst case scenario here - if it’s horribly written code then - can you convince them to rewrite/refactor it? If yes, then it’s a bigger opportunity for you

2. for obfuscation, the inputs and outputs are unencrypted, but the behavior of the software can't be analyzed. as a motivating example, say that I've built some ransomware, but I can't trust my C&C server to stay up. instead, I have the worm embed the private key into a freshly-compiled black box. if you feed the black box a valid Bitcoin block containing a ransom transaction to my address, it spits out the private key and you can decrypt your files.

If there is PoW component then it’ll take just as much energy as Bitcoin does to provide the same security, because energy spent = mining reward.

Except it’s going to be worse because VDF is the centralizing factor, it’s like having bitcoin where constructing a block takes really long time. The actor that finishes first has the advantage to start PoW and will win disproportionate amount of blocks by revealing their data at the last possible moment, preferably when or just before another actor publishes their “worse” PoW.

In the first video I used my hiking poles in the front corners of the tent and I think I used two short sections of old tent poles, probably fiberglass from an old cheap tent, in the back corners.

In the 2nd video I didn't use any poles or sticks. I tied the upper corners to tree branches with string.

So, you're carrying two short poles and your hiking poles and string and pins to stake out the tent. That's not anymore than any other tent and less than some if you're carrying hiking poles too.

I'll also point out that in our Ozark forests you won't ever be 15k feet when backpacking and tree branches are abundant most everywhere here.

But, the real take away from this video should be that there's room to explore how these heat reflective materials might be used in cold weather backpacking clothes and tents. Not that a Bakers Tent is the best design, although it's a very good one for the Ozark forests and many other places, and for using that reflecting material.
We have bear-proof Toters. They're really nice, but they're kind of a pain for the trash collectors; the mechanism to open them is fiddly and impossible to use with gloves, and because they latch, the truck's robot arm can't empty them unless the guys dismount the truck and open them first.

You would probably be safe hiding inside one of them. Toter's website has videos of testing they did with a brown bear (possibly a grizzly). He fucks it up pretty good but doesn't manage to open it.

I feel like it didn't really fail because of the technical aspect, but rather a business one.

Once such a tool is successful, there will be lock-in and/or slightly incompatible competitors. You, as a user, become dependent on single company, which is almost always abused in the end. Both factors are driven by the complexity of the systems that were built with the tool (the complexity hides in the tool, which made these systems easy to write in the first place).

A similar thing IMHO happened to Unix, Common Lisp.. the only way to avoid the fate is to establish and maintain a common standard, but that means yielding the power (it's not particularly appealing business model) and is a subject to the tragedy of the commons, and embrace/extend/extinguish.
The joke goes in Canada they apologize in America they sue.

Some context:

Cue is a project originally started by Marcel van Lohuizen who previously was part of BCL (Borg Config Lang) at Google. The main use is to generate config files.

See the Kubernetes examples at: https://cuelang.org/docs/tutorials/

Here are two posts discussing the motivations for Cue over BCL/Jsonnet:

- https://github.com/cuelang/cue/issues/33#issuecomment-483615...

- https://github.com/cuelang/cue/discussions/669

A very interesting development is that Grafana appears to be adopting Cue as a first-class configuration option. See: "Bring new CUE-based config schema system to release-readiness" https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/33139

This could mean that a future where Grafana dashboards can be two-way synced with a git repo will eventually exist.

The best news for the stock market is from outlets that are not focused on you investing in anything. For example, when I kept reading on /r/hardware that Intel wasn't getting anywhere with their process improvements, I invested in AMD before they had their big run up. I knew this was actionable analysis because when I checked the financial press, nobody was talking about this yet and AMD's stock was going sideways, so the analysts hadn't caught on yet. That's where the value in investing is. Once the mainstream financial press has the same idea you do, the big gains from that news are likely over.
I can talk precisely and concisely. My code is slowly written but solid. Why dont my interviewers make me feel precious?
program obfuscation could trivially implement FHE. the obfuscated program would simply:

1. decrypt the inputs using its embedded private key.

2. do the computation.

3. encrypt the outputs and return them.

I'm not saying SGX is the holy grail, it's as compromised as Intel. I'm saying that an actual cryptographic primitive, like SGX but actually trustless and made of math instead of hardware, is.
It's been around 8 years since this happened: I started learning R and a Gartner consultant told me I was wasting my time because, "as Gartner puts it", the future of data science is citizen data scientists with very little coding skills because the tools and frameworks will do all the heavy lifting. I ignored him because I liked the language anyway.

I guess every now and then someone will try to sell a tool to "build nerd things without the nerds!" be it web dev, data science/engineering, ux, devops, whatever.

I will believe in it only when I see it: everyday fellas building sustainable saas businesses on their own, without coding.

I'm less skeptical towards little internal applications though. Those don't need to be good as standalone products, they just have to be better than shitty forms/sheets and cruds companies use internally. In that space I think Retool is doing something cool and interesting.
The second most annoying thing to me about cyclists are the number of them who complain about the quality of the road or path while riding what is more or less a race bike.

Shockingly, road race vehicles of any variety generally are not built for comfort or ability to handle less than ideal conditions. Stop acting like you think you're in the TdF and get a bike that makes sense for where you ride.

That seems like it would have been a breathtakingly easy problem to solve using technical means instead of legal threats. They could've required logins to view profile information. They could have blacklisted any IP address exhibiting automated behavior.

It would be hilarious if every patent-holding individual sued a non-practicing entity for infringement. Ideally they would do it simultaneously in every conceivable venue, nationwide. Call it "Patent Month". Make it an annual ritual, a coming out party for freshly minted IP attorneys to cut their teeth.

But seriously, what a shame. Can you imagine if calculus was patented and made artificially scarce to enrich someone? How much poorer would the world be?
Antimony is a metal so they will call it an alloy. But there could also be a spectrum or clear demarcation between alloy and compound from a definition perspective, I don't know.

I think it's cool this alloy actually looks like a crystal (ie, it's clear) rather than a metal. The only other metal thing I know that does that is ALON a transparent Aluminium ceramic, but there are probably lots.

I think the difference between compounds, alloys, ceramics and glasses is maybe complex, but has something to do with the atomic lattice structure of the solid form. Ceramics and glasses will be less regular than compounds. Alloys I'm not sure!
You have been spouting easily refuted fake news all over this thread. I am not going to fall into the trap of refuting false statement you make.

Its called the "Sticky Wage Theory".

Store prices can be adjusted as often as once a week, but wages are generally adjusted only a couple times per year. So it makes sense that wages lag prices.

> This Chart [0] seems to show they at least move in tandem

They should move in tandem at wide granularities. But there's way too much noise in the chart to really be sure of anything from it. CPI is constantly tweaked, so its hard to even give much meaning to how the line moves throughout this chart. And why just hourly earnings here? There's lots of places that look like one leads the other and vice versa, but it may just be noise. There's too many confounding variables.

This is a completely baseless claim, as most arguments against weak (ie pseudo) anonymity seem to be. Outside of banks, healthcare providers, and payment processors, I see little of benefit. Before bringing up any arguments that involve poor behavior or misinformation, please refresh yourself on the current state of Facebook (where nearly everyone is using their full name).

I already think twice before (and often decide against) using a service that requires my phone number. I will _never_ use Discord or Twitter (in my personal life at least) for this reason. Except for banks, liquor, and the pharmacy, I am almost certain to decline doing business rather than providing my ID.

Post-scarcity just refers to a time after scarcity, which is defined as limited resources. In a world that is post-scarcity, everyone can have everything they want (materially) without infringing on anyone else's ability to have the same.

The reason it gets brought up is because the moment one person's needs or wants infringe on another's, there needs to be a way to decide who gets what. Generally, this is what people are talking about when they talk about various economic systems. You come up with different mechanics that use the distribution of goods to incentivize the production of more goods.

The only way we escape the economic games that need to be played, to keep people working and producing things society needs, is if we no longer need them to produce anything. Then you no longer need the incentives and feedback loops that tie consumption to production, and people are generally free to do whatever the hell they want.
I used a fake arduino for my capstone project and just before we had to present, I needed to update the code. I didn't have my laptop, so I used my partner's which did not have the fake(?) driver. Just as I plugged it in I realized my mistake and bricked the arduino. We weren't able to demonstrate our project.

I can totally understand the driver not working, but to brick other people's hardware with an automatic driver update will forever make my blood boil.
This is super cool! For a long time I've wanted a database in the cloud where my cloud provider can't quietly look through all my data. Thats easy enough to do by encrypting specific database entries, but the problem comes from indexing. Most of the obvious ways you could implement an index accidentally end up leaking information as a result of their access patterns.

I'm curious if this approach could be used to build database indexes, and if so, whats the performance cost in using it?

I read about an approach a few years ago which needed hundreds of milliseconds of computation for simple operations. Has the state of the art improved?

Author here: the title might seem like a clickbait, but we've seen it's accurate. Another option is "harmful". Correct answer is that it depends depending on how the testing tool is used:

2. If not (like in most cases) -> "bullshit" (results are random)
You mean an embedded NoSQL database? Because all databases whether SQL or NoSQL are file-based with just different formats and structures.
Yes, although I've found these tend to be apps people have strong opinions about. :)

Currently, I use Ulysses for big documents (like multi-chapter stories) as well as for blog posts, since it can publish directly to WordPress, Ghost, Micro.blog, and Medium. It's a little idiosyncratic, and it's for Mac, iOS only.

A very similar app that's for Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android is iA Writer. It's also idiosyncratic, but has slightly different pluses and minuses. I used it before Ulysses, though, and might yet go back.

For shorter stuff I tend to write in Drafts, although that's another Mac/iOS thing.

Since I'm obviously a Mac user, I don't know a lot about what's available on Linux other than code editors, which personally I haven't found that I like as much for prose. Definitely a YMMV thing. Sublime Text and Visual Studio Code both have decent Markdown modes and have various extensions to do interesting things, though, like Markdown linting. Emacs and Vim both actually have great Markdown modes, too, but I just don't like either one for prose.
> For the USA citizens that may read this, you know better your country. What is your opinion?

I left academia because it was clear to me that professors were rapidly becoming commoditized by the administrators.

First, it was the students (both grad and undergrad), then the adjunct faculty, and then the tenure track/tenured faculty.

I don’t know for sure (esp. about the early years), but it seemed to me like this trend started in the 80s, gathered steam and the 90s, and hit its stride in the 00s.

IMHO, this is the byproduct of the white collarization (administrationization) of as much of US society as possible, especially notable in education and medicine (where the doctors have been commoditized by the admins). I personally think that so much of this is make-work for a society that should be moving towards post-work, but US society has culturally ingrained work ethic guilt that makes equality and leisure things that are not aggressively sought after consistently throughout society. The end result is administrators who essentially make work for each other while providing much less societal value than is justified by their cost while actively devaluing the “real” work done by those around them.

This patent stuff is just a continuation of the power grab of the university administrators.
