This is not a great hill to die on, but I’ll bite a bit.

If I fundamentally disagree with fast food as objects of consumption than I might think every job in this field should not be viable. There are costs to society (“externalities”) that places like Wendy’s are not held responsible for (obesity epidemic).

All said, Sandwich Maker is a viable career, to me, if its in a boutique/gourmet shop where the food is prepared from scratch and with precision care. The prices will be higher, extra skill is involved, and then the Maker can command a higher wage.

The meme of whether or not fast food is a viable/respectful career is just a manifestation of more fundamental problems with growth optimized capitalism.
>This is handy for running scripts, but why the "shift" modifier? Same for "Open commandline/powershell" when right clicking whitespace of directory.

Not a solution to your particular gripe but you can actually type "powershell" or "cmd" (minus quotes) into the address bar in windows explorer and it will open in that directory.
That isn't a project deps.edn file though -- it's a compendium of tools that are available for the CLI/deps.edn and I put it together as a working example so folks coming to the CLI/deps.edn stuff could see the broad range of tools available and could copy'n'paste any useful bits they want.

The README explains that and even links to a better-documented and more carefully curated set of aliases that folks might want to use instead (the Practicalli repo).

In reality, I use very, very of those aliases from that dot-clojure file, because the projects I work with already have the ones I need for working on those projects. That can be as simple as a :test alias or it can be up to a dozen aliases used in variations combinations for a variety of tasks.

You can certainly use the CLI and deps.edn for ClojureScript, by the way -- check out Figwheel Main which uses deps.edn and provides a nice workflow.
> I’ll admit, multiple dispatch is a super abstract concept, one that you really only appreciate when you need it.

After reading this post and this stackexchange link[0], I'm not sure it is that complicated. The behaviour in the post can be explained as Julia picking the most specific function that fits based on the runtime type (i.e. uncovering the underlying concrete type at runtime and checking for an implementation). In fact the stackexchange answer mentions that dynamic languages don't differentiate between overloading and multiple dispatch at all, since everything is resolved at runtime. So, overloading and multiple dispatch seem more like that same concept but are one is eagerly resolved while the other is lazily resolved.

This reminds me of the US's program against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan (or at least one fictionalised version of it). Supposedly the pitch for funding involved the cost of a US stinger missile being much less than the cost of a Soviet helicopter. If it's an effective means to force a rivalrous actor to waste money, the fact the decision makers don't care about the money they spend could be a counterattack vector.

Thank you, I thought I was going crazy over here! What the fuck does it mean!?
IDK how this works. Are these auctions settled in cash, with no link to the banking sector? Wouldn't the _buyer_ be automatically suspect?

It feels like the more likely play would be just plain old fraud. With an accomplice, shill bid your item from 200 bucks to 1.56 million, and hope someone else decides that auction was legit enough to buy off you; even if it comes in 10 below previous auction, it's a coup.

Or if it is stolen or damaged in a fire, insurance would be able to help make you whole.
Seems like a case where the police on the frontline did everything fine.

But the reputation of the police caused a fear response triggering a predisposition to a heart attack.

I was born Buddhist, studied at two Buddhist schools, and we were practicing meditation every day for nearly 90% of the year.

Reading that this person practiced Dhyana sounded very odd and irresponsible. What a vast majority of people here practice is Sathi (calmness) and Meththa (compassion), because it helps in regular activities and always have a positive impact.

Meditation practices like Anussathi, Vipassana, and Dhyana takes a lot more preparedness, and almost always is mentored by a monk.

How many sealed copies of Super Mario 64 remain in the world? Seems like yesterday that this game was launched.

Story aside, I absolutely loved this game as a kid. I remember excitedly waiting this game. Nintendo Power shipped out a VHS cassette to hype the Sept 29, 1996 launch of the N64 that summer. I watched it over and over, I was so amazed by the graphics and the gameplay.

For months after Super Mario 64 launched there were lines at Walmarts and video game stores showing off demos of it, of people waiting to play it. It was a huge event.

The freedom of being able to run around and go anywhere in this game, I had never quite seen before. The fun of Mario's acrobatic maneuvers like wall jumps, triple jumps, stomps, and the flying cap were jaw dropping at the time. I can totally see why this game has sentimental value.

I don't know if the rarity of sealed copies is sufficient to justify the price, but it is a masterpiece.
>It doesn't take a MBA-like focus to think "Gee..only if we had more margin, we'd pay more".

It does take razor-sharp focus and constant innovation to work out how you can increase margin, though. You can't just arbitrarily raise prices without offering any additional value and expect your business to stay alive.
They use int instead of long which means if you start to group objects together in any magnitude you will get collisions fairly quickly.

Any large HashTable in Java starts to yield the problem of duplicate keys, it's just a weird situation, like you can 99.999% trust something ... but can't ever fully trust it so that over time, you're guaranteed to have something wrong.

This problem exhibits itself again under the hood in the JNI API when you have to identify objects in another domain i.e. C++.

It's not a 'Quirk' it's basically a big mistake.

The ability to uniquely identify objects is so important in so many ways.

Sometimes I wish every few versions of Java they would skip the reverse compatibility and make some needed changes.

>Not claiming it, its a fact.

The "facts" in this comment are similar, but not the same as the claims made in your original comment. Specifically, it only presents evidence of businesses removing government restrictions on the minimum price of labor. It does not present evidence of businesses keeping wages "artificially low" (ie. below the natural market clearing price). If anything, removing the restrictions stops restaurant wages from being artificially high.

The closer analogy here would be if for whatever reason there was a law saying that "engineers" had to be paid $200k minimum, and tech companies lobbied for software engineers to be exempt. That's already very different than software companies suppressing wages (eg. by colluding with each other not to compete on wages). Another wrinkle to this is that tipped employees receive tips. If software engineers were receiving royalties in addition to their normal salaries, I would think it's fair for them to be paid lower minimum wage than other engineers that don't receive royalties.

I’ve been involved with two different open source projects where, within the last couple of months, users have opened issues complaining about the shell prompts in the documentation, or PRs removing them, because it makes it too hard to copy-paste commands.

To be 100% honest with you, there's pretty much 0% chance of me adopting Julia in the next 12 months. I evaluated it before embarking on my current project, but ended up going with Python, and now I have several thousand lines of Python code that work fine, and I'm not going to rewrite it all in the near future. At some point in the medium term, I'll re-evaluate Julia. But until then, I don't want to lead anyone on any wild goose chase. Even if you solved this problem, and all my problems, I'm just not in a position to switch right now. So for that reason I think I'll hold off on issuing a community wide call for help. But I'm cautiously optimistic that at some point in the future I'll be writing Julia professionally.

A lot of this is also probably cultural rather than language features. The first thing they teach any Python data science boot camp initiate is: never "from numpy import *", always "import numpy as np" and yet in Julia "using" appears more common than "import"...

I also wouldn't read too much into my one example. It was initially meant just as an illustrative point, but somehow I was so bad at explaining it that it took tons of comments for me to get my minor point across. I do think the MLJ guys are properly on the right track, and that should work fine for most people who don't mind Macros. Maybe I'm in the minority in hating Macros.

The more commonly cited issues around compile time caching, tooling, etc. are boring to list off yet again, but probably the right areas of focus for the community, in terms of both impact and ease of implementation.

More generally, I really do think you're better off talking to people like @systemvoltage, who have actually given Julia more of a chance than I have. If I worked for Julia Computing I'd be reaching out to him and begging to get his brain dump on all the challenges he faced. In any business, it's always easier to reduce churn and learn from your (unhappy) customers, then it is to convert new prospects, whether that business is programming languages or investment banking.

Best of luck. Sincerely.
I wish. I think that would just create more headaches since they scope the account to the person.
I wouldn’t underestimate the feeling of the sunken cost (especially after studying and taking the GRE, writing essays, getting recommendations from professors). For someone relatively young who isn’t aware of alternatives nor has prepared for alternatives, it’s not surprising they would keep going down the path feeling they have no better choice at that point, only a choice to imagine their future selves will work even harder to “make it”.
Actually going to court only happens when things have broken down - what you don't hear about are all the stories where a simple letter resolves things, or where there's no fight in the first place.

There are definitely cases where an innovator gets a patent and then is able to make a successful company that makes life better for everyone, even in software (e.g. RSA). Pick your favourite small inventor success story (Dyson?) and they most likely have a patent on whatever it is they made. The argument for patents is that they make that kind of basic research profitable (including for hobbyists) and therefore encourage more of it to happen. It's very hard to actually confirm that counterfactual one way or another, but it sounds logical at least.

The US already has about 10x the number of people in jail as European countries. We need less people in jail, not more. I don't think changing the punishment from 5 years in jail to 10 years in jail would deter anyone differently. And I would like to believe that someone doing this super stupid thing is redeemable and can be a productive member of society, versus a permanent ward of the state.
> The problem is that the recent security company purchases suggest that it costs roughly $100 per month per user to have just basic security. Cost goes up from that exponentially.

But what does this have to do with the FIDO authenticator?

At first I thought you said $100 per user, and I figured, wow, you are buying them all two Yubikeys, that's very generous. And then I realised you wrote "per month".

None of this costs anything "per month per user". You're buying some third party service, they charge whatever they like, this is the same as the argument when people said we can't have HTTPS Everywhere because my SSL certificate cost $100. No, you paid $100 for it, but it costs almost nothing.

I built WebAuthn enrollment and authentication for a vanity site to learn how it works. No problem, no $100 per month per user fees, just phishing proof authentication in one step, nice.

The integration doesn't get any better than this. I guess having watched a video today of people literally wrapping up stacks of cash to Fedex their money to scammers I shouldn't underestimate how dumb people can be but really even if you struggle with TOTP do not worry, WebAuthn is easier than that as a user.
Definitely still out there.
Why is there always a "real problem" as opposed "also a problem"?
If Amazon or Walmart is part of your plan you need a better plan. Try selling oil well drilling supplies in oil country (I have family doing this, and they have cornered thus niche, so don't try that exactly, but it is the type of thing. They make it because they have in stock the special parts needes for that niche and Walmart won't)
Paying the ransom and then plugging the hole is probably far cheaper than spinning up and maintaining a hardcore backup-perfect stack.
I think it's about equally both.
The eval part of the script is unnecessarily versatile. I think a much simpler (and easier to understand) step is to ask user to relaunch their Terminal.

Then the instruction becomes an easy 1 step task.
Congrats on getting out into this space. I suspect you will be very successful.

Have you considered training a model to use the quarterly reports to identify companies likely to see a significant upside or downside over the next N months? Seems like it would be a very straightforward task and could pick out some real diamonds from the rough. Not sure how well it would work though... Could be a very simple way to chase returns.
> I guess people get touchy when you start editing their startup scripts?

I'm definitely one of those people. The startup script is my personal configuration, under source control and managed to set up an environment exactly how I want it. The very first thing I do on a new computer is clone that repo, so that I have my standard working environment available. It's definitely not a dumping ground for anything that has just been installed.

> I agree that it would be pretty easy for the installer to check and add the lines if they are missing.

But this is where it gets difficult, because that's in no way an easy thing to check. My .bashrc sources a .bashrc_local, so that I can have some computer-specific settings. It has conditionals, based on what tools are available on the current machine. Heck, some of the commands are generated by a python script, such as coloring the PS1 pseudorandomly based on the hostname, so I can tell at a glance which computer I'm ssh'ed into.

(Side note, I definitely need to clean it out at some point, as it has definitely accumulated a lot of cruft over the years.)

Determining if a particular script is sourced requires solving the halting problem. Granted, doing a quick grep for the name of the setup script is probably sufficient, but an installer shouldn't be editing my setup script even if it doesn't find anything.
Well, I’d say that few things are likely to really drive home to people how insignificant the little power struggles we spend so much of our life obsessing about as going up into space and looking down on everything, and then looking out into the infinite void.

If it makes everyone who can afford to go more circumspect about that, I think it’ll have been completely worth it, even ignoring all the useful stuff that’ll come out of it.

Also, off topic, but thanks very much for all the things you make, they’re wonderful.
Solution: instead of that text-based installation instruction, show a link to a URL which guides them the rest of the way, with visuals.

>There are costs to society (“externalities”) that places like Wendy’s are not held responsible for (obesity epidemic).

This is a valid point. Western society should be making an effort to ensure that there are cheap, convenient, healthier fast food options like what you see in Asia.

My comment was more in response to the parent, who was drawing a distinction between "real jobs" and "entry level jobs". I believe we should treat people in low-skill jobs with more respect, as they actually produce things we need and want as a society. Many people in "real jobs", on the other hand, produce (or facilitate the production of) nothing.
