agree but it’s not even just that.

it can just be a plain bubble even if everyone buying it has enough money to afford it. there’s been plenty of bubbles that didn’t involve leverage or loans at all. people simply got crazy and paid ridiculous amounts for assets far above intrinsic value. and when at some point something happens to the asset, it has a far way to fall.
Why is everything written in rust nowadays? Apart from the safety it provides.
Apparently torrenting from S3 did not work very well:

> The tracker Amazon ran was really trigger happy to ban peers (I'm sure it saw tons of bad actors, but still, it made testing really painful especially if you were churning infohashes as you tested new objects). And the seed was somehow painfully slow. Never once did any of my test scenarios see faster downloads than just downloading from S3.
Good package manager, broad ecosystem of packages, no header files, helpful compiler messages. It offers a good alternative to C++ for native applications.
Search sucks now. Searching on google is like talking to someone with no long term memory. It's like nothing prior to the last, maybe, 24 months exists.
Mozilla will also respect the Google opt-out suffix for their own WiFi data collection; Apple collects this data too but offers no published way to opt out.
I recall some years ago during a period of uncertainty regarding Assange's safety an encrypted safeguard archive was released and could be downloaded, but I can't find anything about it online now. Were the keys ever revealed, if I'm not misremembering?
Slight correction, though it’s too late to edit: I meant to say at the end, “it’s unclear if Utopia will follow the same standards and patterns that production code demands,”
Nothing wrong. Nor is there anything wrong with "low code". Just the visual of putting a male into a female is a little crude.
I guess the problem is that there is no directory to scp into, not that scp doesn't work?

Because if ssh does work - you can always ssh tunnel, and pipe into netcat. A nice trick to impress junior devs BTW :)
That is more the issue, well for me anyway; taxes are fine and the height is not really relevant but I do not want to be holding the bag here. If someone who earns a billion pays 5% why would I pay 40%? That is my only real complaint about taxes and I hear this from wealthy people: why would they if their friends do not? It is tax, not charity: except yes it is a lot of charity but it is anonymous so you cannot get charity kudos. So those who can avoid and you have a problem. Not sure how big the problem is in money, but I think many people would have a better feeling about forking over 40% if they knew the billionair around the corner is paying 60.
In this case isn't it needed to consider efficiency over the short and longer term? And for the long-term efficiency one of the parameters would be resilience to shocks, which affects the short-term efficiency (more inventory juggling) but is healthier over a longer span of time.

I don't think stagnation is the answer either. Refined, faster, smaller are all great things but you don't need to keep things the same in order to achieve that. I love my fast small stable Linux distro, but there is a lot of new things with it and it is constantly getting updated. I have choice in window managers, but I prefer Sway... I have a choice of launchers, but I prefer a simple solution like wofi... I have a choice of "start menus" but I prefer Waybar. This is innovation. Windows just keeps adding more junk, more telemetry, rounded corners, forced OEM updates, online accounts, etc that they practically force on you. Customizing a Windows install is a huge PiA. It is like they are incapable of coming up with new lighter weight solutions on their own, even if the kernel is updated and the OS gets new functionality like WSL. That is why I seriously think they will adopt Linux at their core and build a Windows compatibility layer around it.

I'm certain they are losing a descent market share to Mac and Linux as is, especially their developers who are now creating applications for other operating systems and not just Windows. In a short time they've adopted containers, WSL, a new terminal with Linux-like functionality, etc.
This feels extremely like PowerShell, from all the examples, and even cites "draws inspiration from projects like PowerShell", so "a new type of shell" feels very disingenuous unless it has additional novel properties that aren't evident just from these.

There's also no support for variables yet if the page is to be believed, which means there's 0 chance of me using this for more than 5 minutes right now.

He didn't just generalize it. He heaped on positive connotation. Bad thing is good because we've defined it to be good.

The only concession is that it's irrational. But flip that around, the implication is that the irrationality is good. Here is a theory that lets me feel good about undeniable mass irrationality.

I think they improved a ton in the last decade or so.

Most parts using wood bits nowadays are either enclosed and there is no tension that would make the bits get out, or the bits are seconded by metal pieces that actually maintain it all together.
Not sure this is still the case, but for years newly-registered .info domains were deeply discounted, i.e. $0.99 or $1.99 for the first year. This made them very attractive for cybercriminals who wanted throwaway domains that weren't needed for more than a year, since they'd be added to spam/malware blacklists within days.

The result was that .info gained a very bad reputation. Since it was so popular among bad actors, but never became very popular for legit sites, for many users the vast majority of times they saw a .info domain it was something nasty.
> But what do you actually mean by insisting that no, the code isn't for the computer at all, it's solely for other humans?

By insisting on this, I mean that, at any given time, if I have the choice to write code that is easily readable by an human XOR a code that is easy to execute (fast), I will always choose the first.

And it’s not a dogmatic ideology : sure there are tradeoffs where writing efficient code is needed, sure it depends on the industry you work.

But in general, when needed, it’s much easier to make a readable code faster than to make a fast code easier to read.

I’ve seen so much « optimized for machine » code in my career. Probably written by really smart person who chased the millisecond perfection. But 90% of this code is « one shot execution » where millisecond doesn’t change anything and is probably wasted anyway by the surrounding framework/library/context…
Or something time based, pulsating perhaps every few seconds as very faint overlay text?
I'm pretty sure everyone that ever got famous was unknown before, so I don't know that the no-names thing really has any bearing.
Seriously, decentralized, pseudonymous money that is censorship resistant and doesn't rely on any single government or organization is the killer app. That's how I'm using it, it works perfectly for my use case and even though it's a sample size of one, there's at least one person who relies on it and can sleep at night a bit more soundly knowing that their money won't suddenly be gone the next morning because PayPal or their bank looked at them funny because they were born in a spicy patch of land. Anything else comes as a plus.

Do please spare me the whole "it's boiling the oceans" and "only hackers and druggies are using it" spiel though as they're both [0] untrue [1].

I think the European equivalents of faangs were killed in the dotcom bubble. These business models were probably considered "toxic" by investors in the 2000s because of dotcom trauma, which might have been worse in Europe?

FYI: standalone MRI clinics in Los Altos charge $500, no surprises.

In SE Asia, they're as low as $100, but if you want a US doctor to look at it, get the Rx from them first to get the right signal levels.

Note that some people are allergic to the contrast dyes used, which will nuke your kidneys. So go easy on MRIs.
Few thoughts come to mind in case you haven’t already come across them yourself:

1. Unlikely but testing for sleep apnea, just to rule out since I’ve heard people with strange constellations of symptoms find improvement this way.

2. Testing for neurological autoimmunity - a paraneoplastic panel, neuronal antibody panel, anti-nmda receptor. There are a number of panels depending on the lab for these with some overlaps between them just check what they cover. These can be hard to obtain you need a doctor who groks them. Also can be expensive and sometimes difficult to have insurance cover but that’s usually helped if the doctor groks it.

3. A small fiber punch biopsy. (See Therapath for info, may also find a talk on YouTube called Small Fibers Big Problems by Dr Oaklander)

4. Investigate ME/CFS (probably already have) and dysautomomia (autonomic neuropathy, possibly indicated if biopsy positive).

5. I’ve just put my email in my bio. If you’re US based and want a recommendation for some helpful neurologists who can look for this stuff send me an email.

If it makes sense to stockpile for the company that pretty much invented lean manufacturing as we know it, it's not without merit.
Seems pretty well designed. Though the decision to be able to refer to the properties of data in a pipe directly with their names might cause some confusion in the end (the 'size' in 'ls | where size > 1'). Ok it's succinct, but it's also a bit weird that the loop variable (what this basically is in a pipe) is treated different than all others. Not that e.g. PS' $_ is so great, but at least it's obvious: it's a variable just like all others.
That is like a big deal. Also speed.
I do check (e.g. wireshark) my traffic regularily. Granted, there could still be some genius malware that I will never notice because it cloaks so well and hides itself so well that I lack the resources to find it.

FWIW about half the coworkers I most respected at Google came to it by way of being CEO of their own small (oftentimes 1-3 person) company, and another 25% left to go be CEO of their own small company.

What you're saying is that you don't want to hire former entrepreneurs. That's fine, but you're also inflating it to imply that your preferences are universal, which is as much of an outright lie as someone working on independent projects calling themselves CEO.

Ah, so there's a temporal aspect! That makes it very different from go and any other board game I know.

I guess it only works on a computer, since everything is changing every turn, and not just the local area of your last stone.

I wonder if humans are able to grog it, or it becomes too complex to predict anything. Very cool!
In the Facebook bug listed in the post this specific mitigation would probably not have been enough since the bug was due to invalid instructions emitted by the JIT.

Under exact same workloads, two duplicate JIT running on two duplicate CPU would have most likely emitted the same erroneous code.

Somewhat of a deviation from the topic of this article, but I enjoyed this terminology from the Facebook bug analysis:

> After a few iterations, it became obvious that the computation of Int(1.1^53) as an input to the math.pow function in Scala would always produce a result of 0 on Core 59 of the CPU

The use of the word "obvious" here reminds me very heavily of this particular SMBC:

Not really - centralised distribution doesn’t mean it’s best done by a company whose primary business is fulfilment, and in fact most major supermarkets have the in-house capability to run these depots by themselves if they want to (for e-commerce grocery specifically there are advantages in running yourself).

All this basically sums up to “it depends”!

What tools do people use in practice, if any, to detect these memory leaks like circular references? Or it easier to just simply restart the application every so often and not worry about it?
I find the more you try to protect your identity, preserve your privacy, protect your security the less sites want you to visit. You get stuck behind CloudFlare interactive prompts (as half the planet seems to be using CloudFlare in some way) whilst it tries to work out if you’re a bot. The other sites either assume you’re an attacker and say bye, or try and stick you in some kind of CAPTCHA tar-pit. In short the web becomes unusable the better you get at this.

Yeah, the poster is not engaging with how the recruiting pipeline really works.

Concretely, to get back into the top of the funnel, you should pay for a compsci masters program at a respectable university. This is a good career reset opportunity and will nullify the need to investigate your past.

Another commenter mentioned leetcoding, which is essential.

It's really concerning you're focusing on remote work. If anything in-office work is super uncompetitive right now, which you can always turn into whatever arrangement you want. Don't start off by talking about stuff that makes people say, "fuck this guy."
Not to mention excellent support for algebraic datatypes and pattern matching.
Very promising project that I hope it will take off and succeed.

I recently switched to zsh with the addition of oh-my-zsh and I am happy how it has features like auto completion and command validation of some sort, but this could take it to the next level.

I am just afraid to change to it and be disappointed about some incompatibility issues or bugs / crashes.

I will observe and wait until it's quite popular to hop on I think.

Everything unfolded so quickly last year… late Feb I went through SeaTac twice for work travel. By St. Patricks day my state was in full lockdown and there were TP and sanitizer shortages. I think a week later my company shutdown its HQ campus and specifically one of the buildings I had been a month earlier was a super-spreader site.

Everything seemed so normal in Jan/Early Feb 2020…
The problem is that we now have entire airlines shutting down due to technical failures. We have power failures that affect most of a state. 911 failures that affect multiple states. Entire retail chains going down due to a system outage.

No sleep apnea, tried that one. No ME/CFS investigation done yet. Immunological seems very plausible. Dysautonomia seems like potentially a good fit.

Thanks a lot; I might take you up on that.
I think Cargo doubling as both build tool and package manager is a big factor here. The combination of Cargo + crates.io makes it very easy to write some Rust code and make it available to anyone with Cargo on their system. Either by `cargo install nu` to build it from sources on crates.io or `cargo install` inside the git repo to build my own customized version. No more waiting for distro packagers to keep up.

Putting this together makes for a nice environment to distribute native system tools. And in the last few years we've seen a wave of these tools becoming popular (ripgrep, bat, fzf, broot, exa and some others).

You’re confusing federal income tax with federal taxes in general. Google pays significant federal taxes any time they grant out stock or pay cash to employees/execs via payroll taxes.

There isn’t a way to avoid the taxation when that excess profit leaves the company somehow to shareholders. Even buybacks that cause stock appreciation lead to significant fed revenue when people sell.
