I am looking to release the setup I use for deployment but tbh it isn't tested (via tests, since I rely on typescript for most of my data shuttling) and there's alot to it so need to write alot of documentation which i don't have time for.

But, the jist is, we APIs like this (this can be improved with less generic json schemas):

export const updateSamf: APIFunction<UpdateSamf, void> = async ({ database }, { samfId, ...data }) => {
if (Object.keys(data).length === 0) {
throw new InvalidParametersError('No fields to update')
}
if (data.title && data.title.length < 3) {
throw new InvalidParametersError('Title needs to be at least 3 characters')
}
if (data.tags) {
data.tags = data.tags.map((t) => t.toLowerCase())
}
await database.crudUpdate<Samf>('samf', data, { samfId }, new SamfNotFoundError())
if (data.cover && previousCover) {
await content.delete(previousCover)
}
}

export const routes: APIRoutes = [{
type: 'patch',
route: StudioRoutePath.SAMF_CRUD,
func: updateSamf,

Looks like it stands for "Recursos Humanos" ("Human Resources"). Not sure why that becomes RRHH instead of RH, but maybe a Spanish speaker can pipe up. Is it common to duplicate letters for plurality in Spanish acronyms?

The pillars keep getting thicker so they can support the weight of the vehicle in a rollover, and also to provide space for the side curtain airbags. This creates bigger blind spots since you can’t have glass there anymore, so these other safety systems help to make up for the reduced visibility.
I'd likely take it, but I'd be conflicted. for all I know, those seemingly-defective genes might have contributed to my intelligence. I'm not sure what else I'd be eliminating..
I've adapted my mindset to think of my job/role as a car lease . Expires in 3 years.

I don't get too comfortable, not too attached, tend to live in the moment, enjoy the good parts, ignore the bad ones, think of the next person in my role, stay on the lookout for my next job/role, but not overdo it.

I've been able to stick to this, but haven't come up with a ways to enforce it.
From my limited experience, Haxe seems like a really neat language but good grief the documentation and learning resources are awful. It’s possible that I was going about it wrong, but there was very little by way of “here’s where everything is and how you’re supposed to do things” resources. I feel if that issue was better handled the language would see much more use than it currently does.

The fact that they explicitly said that there's more classified data about it, clearly shows that concern.

Is there a way to know how senior a software engineer really is?
They can believe it is an exceedingly remote possibility but nonetheless put it in the filing just in case. These filings contain many risk statements about events that do not eventually come to pass.

In addition, assisting the SEC about 'ongoing manipulation' can just as easily mean that the SEC may be considering mass hyping of the stock through reddit to be manipulation. It does not mean that there is definitely shady stuff going on that GameStop is worried about.

"Why do VCs want you to give them a board seat? So that they can use that power to make decisions that serve the interest of the VC, in opposition to the interests of the founder, and even in opposition to the interests of the company." -- this is true

As much as I enjoy this article, low-end VCs are an enormous drag on a company, board seat or not. Constant bad ideas, short-term thinking, focused on how the business "appears" rather than performs, because they're in the optics and ego game rather than producing returns for their LPs.

Choosing very carefully who you let into the circle that is your company is one of the most important decisions you ever make.

Taking money for pure prestige of the firm, rather than an aligned and intelligent GP for the deal, or for highest valuation that has a 1-2% total dilution difference, is a bad idea given they can subtract way more than that by being a terrible investor.

(The best VCs like Founders Fund just admit they add no value, which saves you the worry of too much meddling from those who, very mistakenly, think they can.)

1. Are you suggesting eyewitness testimony is reliable? If this is your position, then why shouldn't we take ghosts and supposed religious phenomena seriously?

2. Your supposed "experts" are relying on equipment they do not understand that regularly produce phenomena they do not understand.

Ironically, I think you've made a good case that philosophers (experts) should be the ones tackling this issue.
100% agree with this. It's ridiculous how contrasting the levels of compensation are.

Of course there are minefields to negotiate (IR35, administrative overheads of running a company etc) but it's a completely different world to working as a permie.

> They'll fill that role, eventually, and they'll get someone with low productivity that produces unreliable software, and they'll feel justified in their vicious low-pay, low-expectations cycle.

In my experience they then come crying to contractors to try and fix the mess made by the low-paid staff. The whole debacle costs more than it would have cost doing it right to start off with.
You see a selection bias in posts on site like this because everyone who's doing great (or doing okay but self-inflating) wants to post about it, while people who are struggling don't want to (and are even less likely if they see floods of posts about how easy it is).

I think the determining factor is just "recognizable big brand on resume".
As someone with one of those two on his resume, I'd say you are not wrong.

That said, it's a bit more nuanced. It still looks good if you can share experiences that prove why it's good.

Ex. "I learned what it's like to be closer to the cutting edge in some respects, but I also learned how that should be secondary to delivering a good product and good customer service due to issues X, Y, Z observed. Also, using technology A is great, but it might not be worth your investment at current stage."

This kind of statement illustrates that you learned multiple things of value, and hopefully avoided bad habits and are pragmatic and worth having. It's possible they can leverage your experience to avoid making mistakes in the next growth stage.

So, yes, it doesn't always look good immediately. It's up to you to prove to a questioner why it was good and hopefully they also agree.
In this code, the main problem---I think---is that there are intermediate results that are being allocated, e.g., Fk_1 * Pu * Fk_1'. I will speculate that you could improve on the baseline code by preallocating these in the same way as Pp, K, aux1, and Pu are initialized outside of the loop.
same! And it’s senseless there’s no need for it whatsoever!

Counterfeit chip makers could simply look up the chips and re-use the serial numbers?

The idea is to use a chain of purchase records (purchase orders and invoices) to ensure that each transaction is recorded and unique, with the first transaction in the chain entered by the manufacturer.
I like zsync quite a bit. The chunking patcher we wrote for League of Legends is similar to zsync in some key ways.

One of the things we did to improve the efficiency of the core rolling hash based chunking logic was to add file type aware chunking. Basically, we teach the patcher about the different archive formats that our games use (say, Unreal Engine PAKs) and the algorithm ensures that chunks stop at the file boundaries within the archive, so a chunk doesn’t straddle two unrelated entries. That way when files move around in the archive we can more reliably match their chunks across versions. I think this helped improve download sizes by 5-10% in our case.

> How could we increase our leverage?

There is no 'we', so the question doesn't make any sense.

There is no magical 'X profession' entity that can do stuff, never existed.

There are groups of people who communicate, group up and get shit done. They don't need to belong to the same line of work to do it - they just need to have an idea of what they want and how to get there.

To address the spirit of your post - just because you can have more power, doesn't mean you should. For example two people in a relationship, the minute either party starts to think like you, that relationship turns to shit.

Only thinking about yourself (or your group) is a good way to make life worse for everyone involved, please hurry up and grow out of it.
I mean you can also ship a lil slower.

Startup founders and management types are obsessed with optimizing dev time at a day/hour granularity though in my personal experience, so it's a lost cause.

I think the problem in our case specifically is that we centralise our food production, unlike other animals. Given our population size this sort of makes sense, but what you end up with is these death factories of concentrated animal slaughter. I would say the energy argument isn't a good one; factory farms are maximally efficient by design (which is why they're terrible for the animals) and humans definitely waste very little to nothing in these facilities since every inefficiency costs money.

I definitely think there's a disconnect between the average person and their food and it allows this sort of thing to happen more easily. I'm not sure what the right way to handle it all would be until we can 3D print all our food needs, but free range farms and farming animals that require less space (such as insects) are probably the best we can do currently.

I don't need the virus to kill anyone. Its part of the natural world. Viruses are literarily part of our genetic code, and may have helped to evolve the placenta. We have evolved along side of them. They're not there to only harm us, they also benefit us.
It doesn't matter what I think anyway.

There's a limit to how much armour you can wear. There's always a cost.

And lets say each vaccine harms you just a tiny bit, which they clearly do. How much is the accumulated damage from all the vaccines we currently take or will need to take into humanity's future vs a naturally evolved immunity.
Great share; fascinating to see the potential and how this greatly expands on the previous role of the mitochondria being the powerhouse of the cell.

>Until it's absolutely impossible, further research is necessary.

There is no such thing, you can study something until the heat death of the Universe and still have a nonzero uncertainty.

>Saying the equivalent of "the science is settled" is always not true because how could we possibly know all of the variables that matter. And in science, all factors matter.

There is a wide gap between "further research is necessary" and "the science is settled" and you seem to be arguing on both sides depending on if that argument is in favor of the autism link. The link stopped being an interesting or pressing scientific question, the necessity or urgency of continuing to research it is quite low and anyone making funding decisions would be wise to allocate mostly elsewhere. There's no problem with continuing to search if a research group wants, researching unpopular questions is important, but let's not misrepresent the state of the research and the reasonable conclusions which can be drawn from the data.
"further research necessary" is a phrase that evokes a sense that there is little evidence on which to base conclusions, there may be a hint of an effect, perhaps with contradictory evidence. This is not the case for the autism link, there is indeed a large statistically sound corpus of evidence pointing in the "no link" direction.
The paywall could be bypassed with simple "debugger" in console :)
That’s true, but I’m not sure if obedience is the primary reason for their popularity? I would argue it’s primarily out of love. There are probably a small minority of dog owners who do it solely for the utility, or just to exercise dominance over another animal. Beats me, I’m a cat person. A robocat would be pointless.
Irrelevant. These currencies are traded on forex exchanges outside their native countries, which means outside the jurisdiction of said police.
Honestly I don't know what the tradeoffs are . I usually rely on the db to create the id (regardless if its SERIAL / UUID). The only time I get create a UUID outside is if the client needs a UUID in its initial state. For example if tracking a users progress through a form it allows you to skip a useless creation roundtrip in order to perform the first update).

Yeah thats pretty much it! Less code in the functions -> less inconsistencies with the db. And for example removing an enum in the db would fail all your front end components using it, so it's really across the whole pipeline.
I am also getting a PhD related to Machine Learning. Can I ask what your dream job turned out to be?
We're simply more capable. That's really all there is to it. Animals are not limited by some magical conservationist instinct, they're limited by capability and environmental limitations.
Agree. It is a business opportunity. It will have to be a US based company as only those will have enough funding to both fight the legal fights and lobby for legal protection.

For the first few years the company will be considered a level just above common criminals. After a few while, they will be considered an essential consumer protection service.
I'd second Gentle Introduction, but only if the reader is willing to actual do all the excersizes in the book. It moves slow and covers less material than other books mentioned, but I found the slow pace and practiced repetion really help the language click for me.

What I found really useful was to work through the excersizes in a proper SLIME setup in Emacs with paredit. Since the excersizes were easy enough I could instead focus on learning to use a proper development setup for working with Lisp.
They're only in contention if we use the same measures for both, which is the root problem imo. In the United States our schools are more than places to expose children to literature, mathematics, and civics. It's a crucial social service and one with massive reach - if you want to affect change for the children and youth of America, schools are the place to go.

The contrary is also true. When we don't effectively use schools as these crucial public services, we wind up with the "school to prison pipeline" as it's called.

In my opinion the notion of "no child left behind" shouldn't equate to every kid going to college or becoming a doctor. We can design schooling metrics better than test scores and academic outcome. Like criminal justice outcomes, health outcomes like obesity, voting or civic participation, or even social outcomes. The goals of schooling shouldn't be wholly academic. That is why secondary education exists.
Or the value of even a mediocre engineer is high enough that these companies don’t fail. They would’ve done BETTER by keeping better engineers around but they’ll never know that. And in our current economy, the ability to get corrupt deals etc matters more to business success than actually producing things anyway, which further hides the effect of productivity on success.
I'm super interested in using this for my masters thesis. But their github docs are terse at best. I have no confidence that I'd be talented enough to figure out their api, and the mention of the broken website form further deters me. Too bad; I love the concept of quadrupeds for navigating stairs and other urban obstacles.
I remember playing the Squaresoft RPG Parasite Eve and enjoying it despite how silly the mitochondria-oriented premise seemed. It would be amusing if it turns out that mitochondria are indeed hugely powerful in determining human outcomes.
> Open source contributors give away a lot of value, since if everyone had to re-create their work (including its dependencies, its dependencies' dependencies, and so on), there would be 1,000,000 times the demand for software engineers than there is today and innovation progress would be much much slower.

I disagree with this analysis. You are assuming that the demand for software products is static regardless of cost and ignoring the positive effects of standardization.

Open source means your X years of programming experience on 1 company’s product immediately applies to thousands of other companies. So you can leave your job and be productive at any of those companies, therefore commanding the same salary or greater. If it wasn’t for open source, I don’t think we would have 1/100th of the leverage we have.

Open source is not a giveaway; it’s an investment in the entire industry. This is why all major companies are contributors to open source projects now. In fact, we are losing leverage the more this trend accelerates.
I drive a 2004 Ford Expedition with 235k miles on it. My parents ended up giving it to me because after all my siblings went to college what was the point of a family vacation vehicle.

Nice. That's a reasonable price point for what's inside, and could get much cheaper with volume. Good robots have always suffered from a low-volume, high cost problem.

Yes it is changing fast, but that doesn't mean your parents understand, or mainstream companies.

It's probably better to understand that these jobs are temporary and always be hunting for your next gig, but it is against the cultural norm, where your uncle works at the same PSU he started at after graduation. It probably doesn't help that every IIT graduate is expected to earn 1 Cr.
> where they think a lot about what they can do to build a better future

What they're really doing is thinking about the future that they personally want and selectively funding that in a way that they ensure they also continue to gain wealth. That's my interpretation, at least. I don't like "effective altruism".
I never said the fault was with the language design
While I'm glad they mentioned the increasing price of cars, one thing that they didn't mention is the rise of electric cars. My car is 9 years old, and I'm looking for a replacement soon. However, I'm holding off for a few more years so that there's additional electric chargers implemented, and for more competition in the BEV space.
It also runs on real hardware (tested on an old Intel i3), not only in qemu.

The New York Times coverage of Covid-19 has been really obvious propaganda in general unfortunately - and now it's Pulitzer prize winning propaganda too. Misleading comparisons with other countries, deceptive or occasionally just outright false descriptions of how well everywhere is doing, why, and what measures are in place there, misrepresentations of important figures like the fatality rate, a bizarre insistence that the previous administration was incompetent for not achieving things no other country had managed and that probably weren't technologically possible, blatant rewriting of history, and through it all a constant drumbeat making it clear just what was warping their coverage: Trump! Trump! Trump!
