I would argue that an array is something else than a matrix. It's a design decision that matlab (and julia) made, regard every multi-element variable as a matrix. I disagree with that decision, because for most of the code I'm exposed to I don't want matrix operations and it causes issues, e.g. when I move from a scalar implementation to an array implementation of a function.
That's basically what PackageCompiler does. That said, StaticCompiler.jl is expected to improve the state of this in the future.
It might be possible to have a babel macro function that inspects the passed SQL query and generate TS type from it.

However, the query might contain a wild card which means the macro function will also need access to the current DB schema.

The only evidence I’ve seen for this is a misreading of free float statistics and a misunderstanding of the difference between market makers and hedge funds.

That said, your broader point is valid. Someone investing on this thesis is not a financial nihilist.
Thanks. I’m not actually curious (for reasons explained in my previous post) but maybe it will help someone who is?
Isn't the solution to this to mint less humanities PHDs? It feels criminal to me to encourage somebody to burn six years of their life on something that will make them less employable. Better to move there bottleneck to departmental admissions.
> this "long run" comparison of owning and repairing versus buying a new car is just silly. So many people have the incentive to get you to buy a new car, but practically no one has an incentive to tell you to take good care of the things you own so they last.

I don't think the comparison is so absurd. The result can vary a lot based on where you live - how hard the weather is on the car, how much a mechanic charges per hour, how strict the smog/inspection regulations are.

In San Francisco maintenance/repairs are $150/hour at an independent shop. A former colleague and I worked out that the 10+ year old used cars we both drove ended up costing almost exactly the same in depreciation and maintenance as leasing a new Subaru Outback. They only worked out cheaper overall because we could forego the comprehensive insurance required for a lease.

I'd switched to a job that required commuting more than 15k miles a year by the time mine failed its smog test and needed to be replaced (a CARB compliant replacement catalytic converter would have been almost as much as I'd paid for the car) so got another old used car. He ended up leasing when his car died.

EC2 is absolutely not meant for this, though. Use an abstraction layer like Heroku if you're going to not understand what you're getting into.

The amount of times I've had to 'advise' small businesses that are somehow running their small business site off a single EC2 instance's ephemeral boot volume is atrocious.
Very well put. A common pushback I get when discussing ideas for software solutions is "wouldn't this put people out of work?" and I think the answer is often "yes, but it would employ more, more productively". I think the best evidence of this is that we constantly do it to ourselves with open source and other tools (like fairly cheap and easy to use SaaS tools), to great success. There are probably diminishing returns to this over time, but it doesn't seem to me that we've hit them yet.
I think we all have an obligation to stand up for the rights of other people, even when the violation of those rights doesn't affect us directly.

Stating a lack of opposition to the removal of those isn't just "not caring" is actively taking a stance that you believe those rights have no value. I think requesting justification for that stance is reasonable and not an expression of "anger".
Website bug/issue reporting tool looking for alpha/beta users
I'm the CEO/CTO/dev/everything of Client Buddy, a bug/issue reporting tool looking for web developers and/or agencies to be part of a beta program. Client Buddy aims to save web devs/agencies time by providing their clients and users a way to easily and quickly report issues directly on their website.

Client Buddy provides the web dev/agency with a widget that is installed on web sites/web apps that they are building so that their clients and users can report issues directly on their website. The widget also provides your client/users to record a screen share to highlight the issues described in the report.

There's a task board in the Client Buddy dashboard as well as a handful of integrations with some of the most used project management tools (JIRA, Trello and Asana and more in the future) in the world, allowing you to create tickets/tasks in your project management tools directly from the Client Buddy dashboard.

I would have loved to have this tool available to me when I was working with freelance clients as I was spending a lot of time going back and forth through email threads which easily get lost.

If you are interested in being part of the beta program, please visit https://clientbuddy.net and click on the SIGN UP FOR EARLY ACCESS button to register your interest.
The cultural shift of not posting “loss porn” on WSB is going to be the undoing. Well, the eternal September it’s been going through since this time last year has been a big contributor too.
Finally. Something different which sounds very impressive. The fact that this runs on real hardware and not just on QEMU and it's written in V gives the impression that the language is improving rapidly over the months. Nice work.

That’s because there is greater ROI now in the population being productive. There is no utility in marginalizing anyone anymore.

The US attracts talent whether they were educated here or not. The US got to that place with poor schools while only heterosexual cisgender men were working. While the rest of the marginalized population was a drag on society and its security as they fought for scraps. The US becoming more inclusive in all facets amplifies its society much more, it doesnt mean turning any troubled youth into a surgeon or researcher. It means giving them a baseline to be productive at all.

If you want your child to be doing something else, look elsewhere.
Yup, this. We took temporary pay cuts last year, which was more or less understandable, business was down. But I did a couple of interview rounds and got offers that were 15-20% above my pre-cut salary. And people were shocked that I was leaving.
You conveniently ignore pedestrian fatalities, which are headed off the chart thanks to modern "safer" vehicles.

> After all, The knockoff is just as good or better than the authentic.

I think this may be over optimistic—the fact that counterfeits can be same quality doesn't mean they always, or even often, are. There are product categories where the difference is not apparent even to trained casual inspection, but there are real quality or even safety sacrifices.

The far simpler first step, while lab grown meat is being developed, is eating much less meat.

We really don't need the amounts of meat (if at all), averagely consumed in the US, EU or many other places nowadays. Not by far.

And if you insist: there are plant based products today, that are often tastier and offer better nutrients than large swaths of the meat products they replace.

There certainly is no lab-grown alternative for a tasty slab of expensive beef (I presume, I haven't looked for it), but there certainly is a tastier and healthier plant-based alternative for that €2,99 bucket of fried chicken things. Or for 6 of the 10 cheap burgers at your supermarket.

Point: we really don't have to wait for lab grown meat. Not if you are a meat lover, nor if you are a habitual meat eater.
Please define snapshot.

I suspect you mean filesystem snapshots and as long as the snapshot lives on the same physical media you are correct. But when you take the snapshot and transfer it to a physically separate location where it cannot be altered it sounds like a backup to me.
"I am not anti-vax" is always the first lie we hear from every anti-vax idiot. Now that the general anti-vax position has been so thoroughly debunked everyone knows to avoid someone who is obviously displaying this particular mental illness, so they have learned to be much more circumspect about their claims and how to position their anti-vax arguments. It will usually start with a bit of sea lioning and concern trolling before they move into arguments that tend to end with 'just saying...'
1. I know and pretty much every line of code I have would need to be preceded with a @. I should also add that julia did not follow the matlab insanity of regarding 1D vectors as arrays, but instead throwing errors helps catch errors before they cause weird issues.

2. I agree that this is one of the nice things about Julia.
> Can we please get this engraved on the headstone of the millennial generation?

The order started breaking down in the 90s when the oldest Millennials were in elementary school, accelerated in the 00s when the youngest Millennials were in preschool, and was formalized in 2016 mostly by older generations. The big problem that I see is that while bits and pieces get taught the artificial trade security brought on by the Bretton Woods order were never taught! I only just started learning about it recently and I'm a bit pissed off that this wasn't in 20th Century History 101.
agree, that doesn't make it not a problem.

Interesting. That technology deploys on impact; one could imagine a more optimal version that detects pedestrians with proximity sensors and inflates an airbag before the vehicle even reaches the pedestrian. (Obviously the car could also do automatic braking, but the airbag could help in situations where stopping wasn't possible.)

It seems like such an airbag could be used to lessen the impact of vehicle-to-vehicle collisions as well. Perhaps have multiple inflators so the car can select air pressure based on the projected force of impact.

Airbag suits are available now for motorcycle riders, external car airbags would kind of be just a larger (potentially more complex) variant of the same idea.

Amazon FinTech is such a toxic dumpster fire of unprofessional conduct, there’s a chance not only will they significantly harm the company, they’ll cause a legal issue with China, India, EU, or US by violating finance law.

If they haven’t already.

Amazon is routinely fined $15M+ in tax audits because they’re saving a few headcount on critical financial systems.

Unless it is a big company like Google, I have never found this to be that hard. Companies like DocuSign have an account rep reach out to you. Others have a forum. Worst case, you can go ask a software engineer of theirs on LinkedIn and they can direct you to somebody.

This is why companies want to hire rockstars who can be productive in a couple of months without being helped by colleagues. One can't get such rockstars just by leetcode. Maybe, these companies should pay $1M per annum for such rockstars.

There's no research to do in order to answer this question.

If you'd rather work from home, this is the time to say so because this is the time for both parties to figure out if they'd be happy with each other.

Of course, and as always, do show that you're professional and flexible by adding that you'd of course still go to office if needed.
I’ve been playing around with the idea of a defi project where I mint NFTs for all of my PSA graded TCG cards which would allow you to return the NFT me to be “burned” and I’d ship you the underlying asset.

This would allow someone to hold and have high liquidity in graded trading cards without every having to take possession of the underlying asset.
> Buffet doesn’t use DCF

There is DCF and there is
DCF. The full-formed DCF spreadsheet is a creature of sell-side fiction. The more trivial analysis—how much cash will this business throw off over the next few years and what is that worth to me–is not formally DCF by the modern definition. But theoretically, it’s the same thing. Just dispensing with the garbage that is terminal value estimation.
It is absolutely true and your extra information is also correct. It is gradual, you are correct but still people that didn't know they were gonna have to pay tax got hit with it. And when they were told you should've been privately saving already. I know because I have relatives there who have to pay tax (though like you said not at 100%) and it is not pretty.
You need 15 such farms to create the food for 1 equivalent of beef. So the argument would be for any those goo-creating farms, because we need far less of them, than we need when creating goo that feeds cows which we then eat.
I have unintentionally trolled myself more than once due to people necroing old forum threads.

Yes, and you'd be right to do so. Most technology that we can imagine will not exist within our lifetimes. People have been dreaming of flying apparatuses since the dawn of mankind, and we only built one in 1900, probably more than six thousand years since we first imagined the idea.
I bet TCOs are going up. New vehicles are now made with more plastic not designed to last much longer than the warranty. Americans are only keeping them longer because they're poorer, the cars are not as good as they were 25 years ago, and cannot afford new ones, so they're stuck spending money on repairs.

It's weird for sure. The underlying problem is the latency of the pen, which is very hard to manage in 3d sculpting software.
This is something that cities the world over should be doing, both from a bee and a people perspective. Density is a lot more nice if greenery is nearby. Doesn't really matter if it's a park or an allotment or a library with a wide area. Just plenty of "something" with a large "big something" every so often.

In most cities I have experience with, high quality outdoor space is largely reserved for the parts of town populated by people living in detached, one-family dwellings. The more dense parts of town are clustered next to noisy streets or with pollution. Not much greenspace. The cities that have gotten it more right than wrong are usually in western Europe and parts of Asia.

> Christian Schmid-Egger, who coordinates Berlin’s wildflower meadows on behalf of the German Wildlife Foundation, said any conservation effort would ultimate require broader changes in agricultural practices: “If we are going to save the bees, we won’t be doing it in cities.”

He's not wrong, but he's also not fully right either. One of the biggest damages we've done to our biome is to pave so much of it, largely to make space for automobiles. Animals and insects need places to thrive all over and setting aside more space among our population for both people and insects makes for a better environment.

Which arguably supports driving older cars longer because not only does it reduce the overall frequency of car manufacturer, it also pushes that manufacturing process further into the future when the environmental impact of manufacturing a replacement would be lower.

Isn't it like that at any job?
Same is true in academic research (though old-timers catch it often). The common pattern is:

* approach “A” was invented in 1970 or so and didn’t work

* “B” extends “A” in multiple ways and now works

* noobs assume “B” invented “A” and treat “B” as the root of modern knowledge. “B” often has more market presence so noobs (without deep understanding) don’t see the relationship to prior attempts.

Examples:

* AlexNet/deep learning/ML in general

* MapReduce/databases/functional programming primitives

* Docker/chroot “Jail” Containers

* Bitcoin/90s coins/blockchains

How big is the write cache usually and how does it work? Typically I've seen the write caches be something like 32MB in size, but the "top speed" seems to be sustained for files much bigger than 32MB, which doesn't make sense to me if that top speed is supposedly from writing to the cache. How does that work?

Well, they do have large rigs though. The problem is that the techniques are not able to "print" pipes, steel structural supports such as rebar or roofing/floor beams, windows, etc. They can mostly just put down layers of concrete.
Teeing/dark launch/dual write strategies solve most of the issue for databases. Sure you run into concerns when changing the framework that manages that, but that's usually a far smaller surface area than your entire storage layer.
