It only matters how much revenue they generate per employee when that revenue dips below salary. If the supply for epic superstar 10x devs greatly exceeded demand, they could make $100M per employee and they still wouldn't pay as much as $300-600k. (Unless they were forced to by, say, unionization.)
I think Andrew would contend that it is memory safe, it just defines that safety in a different way than Rust:

> [...] So, the way I would describe it is that Rust has a kind of like vertical memory safety approach where on the top, it’s safe. And then, on the bottom, you hit the unsafe block, and it’s not safe, right? [...] Zig is more of I would say horizontal safety approach. So, there’s no unsafe blocks where it’s all contained in, but each feature of the language models safety in a different way. So, as an example, the pointer type in Zig actually can represent alignment. In Rust, if you want to mess with pointer alignment, you have to use an unsafe block and you’ve turned off safety for alignment. In Zig, you have pointer alignment in the type. So, it’s actually completely safe, and in Rust it’s not.

And of course the reason it doesn't use anything like a borrow checker:

> [...] Zig also wants to be optimal and optimal means you want to fully use the hardware that you have. So, my hardware lets me use virtual memory and it lets me use intrusive data structures. And it lets me write code in a certain way that’s the most efficient way to use all the CPU and all the memory. So, if my language doesn’t let me use all my hardware features, it’s not optimal.

I can't help but agree. We should strive to allow optimal code to work, and we should also do our best to prevent the programmer from doing unsafe things unless they are explicit about what they're doing. Are programmers sometimes going to do the wrong thing anyway? Yes, of course. The same way that someone can get frustrated and wrap their code in unsafe, they can use @ptrToInt without thinking it through.
When in doubt, look to take on more responsibility.
That sentence was followed by 'Life could be a struggle for survival with hard work and adversity at every corner. Marriages were arranged by parents and if, after 20 years, the couple hated each other, there was no option to divorce.'. So, if you don't struggle for survival, and don't have to work hard, and are not hit by adversity, and not forcely married to a person you don't like, then you may be happy. That seems a reasonable assumption considering the objective of the essay.

True, but the top comment on this thread was about high end engineers being paid high salaries. Compilers is a good counterexample.
There were times that the Romans auctioned off the right to tax a region. So you’d pay the state some sum and then have the right to extract whatever you can from the population.

I’m sure the whole story is much more nuanced than that outline.

I don't think perfection is even close to the correct word. He just does what he wants, when he wants to. That currently includes delaying an album to work on it more.

I saw about 30 minutes of a set at a festival a few years ago, mostly because I was waiting for another stage to start, and he spent 20 minutes going on a barely coherent rant about society. In the time I was watching he barely got one song out.

I definitely didn't see perfection. I saw him doing, and being able to do, whatever he wants.
I assure you, they know their IT processes are garbage.
Chippy has nothing to do with people from Yorkshire. It refers to people who are overly defensive due to a sense of inferiority about their status or an imagined grievance. There are such people in Yorkshire, but there are such people everywhere.
This is pretty tangential, and doesn't matter at all, but many services do it and I'm always curious - is the second-most expensive ('Team') tier really your 'most popular'? Or is it just chosen to maximise up-selling return? Intuitively I would guess most users don't pay, next most pay the lowest individual, etc. - a few whales, lots of minnows.
I worked for two separate studios, one at DreamWorks and one at Disney, that were both involved in this saga, and both have since been shuttered. (Edit: to clarify they were involved as part of the class, not to my knowledge involved in collusion.)

Full disclosure, I also received a check from the class action suit. Of course getting money is nice, but it was like $4k or something, not enough to make any real difference, significantly smaller than the film bonus plans, and on top of that, I never felt like I'd been underpaid or cheated even after this all went public.

Even as an employee, I don't think I ever knew the full story, but the Cartoon Brew articles always struck me as going out of their way to stoke anger and frame things in the most negative possible light, not particularly fair or unbiased.

While I do not in any way intend to defend what Catmull or others did, the fact that not just one but two studios I worked for did close, I've always felt like it is plausible that Catmull truly believed he was doing a good thing for employees in the long term by trying to keep the doors open, and that the threat that they might close was real, that his refusal to apologize was out of genuine belief that he wasn't being selfish. I'm sure it'd be hard to fully buy that if you saw his tax return, but nonetheless is how I still feel when I read these articles again.
The recent interview of Elon by Tim Dodd is probably more informative and interesting this this could ever be.

> Apple is extremely restrictive to developers

Restrictive is not the appropriate word.

For example, this whole forcing devs to use "sign in with Apple" is not about imposing restrictions as you can decide to not use a third party sign in (on a new app).

Apple is saying "hey if your users can sign in with Facebook they should be able to sign in with Apple, we want a piece of the pie". Some iOS users are happy about the privacy aspect of this but fundamentally (IMO) this is not about privacy or restrictions, it's about making users and devs more dependent on the Apple ecosystem.
Very cool. I love seeing the treasures of our past the Mediterranean preserved. I did think that it was odd for the title to state "wine jars" instead of amphorae. I thought that amphorae was a commonly known word. Amphora also were a common container for many trade goods not just wine. They were the shipping container of the day.
Miami Dade launches a coin. Nice! What can possibly go wrong? Because you know, Miami is known for tech entrepreneurship and honest politicians.
> I challenge you to sign up (with Apple ID if you wish) and see for yourself how many emails you get. Otherwise you're accusing without evidence

How else could it have been implemented that would have led to any reasonable adoption rate?
Hello! Please compare this to Steve Gibsons SQRL login scheme. Are there any major differences or is this based on that project? It looks very similar on the surface
What is 2021-02-28 + 1 month? Is that 2021-03-28 or 2021-03-31? It is far from obvious what a normal human would do most of the time here.

The lack of associativity is still a problem. If 2021-02-28 + 1 month = 2021-03-28,then (2021-02-28 + 1 month) + 1 month = 2021-03-28 + 1 month = 2021-04-28. While if I ask what is 2021-02-28 + 2 months (given 2021-02-28 + 1 month = 2021-03-31), most people would say 2021-04-30.

While I am not entirely sold on using awkward/"honest" names by default, the author does raise a good point: sometimes concepts are inherently messy or full of important edge cases, and we shouldn't just brush that aside.

I recently ran into a similar problem. I am implementing a distributed lock (https://www.joyfulbikeshedding.com/blog/2021-05-19-robust-di...) -- like a mutex, but works across processes and machines. I try to mimic the language's standard Mutex API as much as possible.

A normal Mutex has a query method named "owned?" to check whether the calling thread owns the mutex. When I tried implementing this method for my distributed lock, it raised a question: owned according to who? Owned according to the local state that represents the lock, or according to the state that lives in the server? Because they can differ (e.g. due to bugs in other clients or because an admin manually messed with the state). So I opted for "honest names" here too and implemented two methods: "owned_according_to_local_state?" and "owned_according_to_server_state?"
Unless prices fall in the future, in which case you’ve paid a lot in taxes every year and never get any benefit from the temporarily high valuation.

Right. He has also publicly admitted that he has bipolar disorder -- a devastating illness that causes behaviors remarkably like the ones so relentlessly romanticized in this article.

I think Kanye West is a genius. But I also think it doesn't help him or anyone else struggling with mental illness to perpetuate the myth that his symptoms are an essential part of his "process."

Microservices with Node JS and React by Stephen Grider

Microservices is a complex topic it will be very hard to learn by following a book. If you really want to learn about Microservices start looking for a job.
To be fair, almost everything in Cities felt useless. It didn't really feel like much of a game at all. Nothing you did really actually mattered at all. Cities was more like an interactive city model building toy than what I'd think of as a game.

Ceasar, Pharoh and Tropico are actual games with goals, win conditions and a point.

I didn't like Cities mostly because nothing you did mattered. Not just slums or anything else. You can kill off half the city by accidently routing waste dumping to the city's drinking water and within 15-20 minutes your city's back to being fully populated.

Trying to play Cities strategically the way you would those other games is going to be disappointing no matter how you build the city. It's just not that kind of game.

Germany is pretty strict with copyrighted content in general (don't even think about torrenting a movie there). They even comply with DMCA takedown requests.
One thing is certain: history jumps or crawls, never walks. So don't expect smooth up or down trend lines.

How can a charted flight be "commanded"?

I looked into this previously, so Jared Isaacman not only is a billionaire from a payments gateway startup he founded, he also is the biggest private owner of military jets and owns a company that actually trains pilots for the USAF, USNavy and foreign airforces. He is a very accomplished pilot from what I gather. (He's 38 btw, so kudos to him)

So, while the Dragon capsule is autonomous there is some 'commanding' that is needed to be able to fly the thing, especially if some of the autonomous features fail - he has been having astronaut training for that and such is 'commanding' the vessel.

How does this support the hospital?

He sold one of the tickets for a lot of money, I think it was to the guy who is listed as an Air Force vet but is actually a data scientist I believe.

Look, he has to donate and generate a large chunk of cash to charity - it's fair optics, esp given the backlash Jeff Bezos had for not using his wealth philanthropically. Here the peanut gallery, we can't have it both ways either we pop at billionaires using their private wealth to go into space or we celebrate the ones who do something for a good cause..?

Of course!

We use Python/Flask for backend. Postgresql, Redis and Docker Compose. We use Amazon S3 for hosting images, but we have made it easy to switch in case there will be problems (as seen by Parler).

I'm not sure they really had a choice in the first place. I don't think the Nazis were going to let him and his family leave the country and get a job in America.
I agree that this outcome should cause people to stop and think about whether justice is really being done here

If you get to this point and now wonder whether justice is being done, you haven't been paying attention or following it for a while.

None of this is about justice.

It's about powerful people trying to deny themselves truth/reality to maintain their illusory identity. They bought into the "truth, justice and the american way" and got caught out.

Assange enabled the world to see their nation behaving as they do, not as they wanted to be seen, with the added irony that it was through collateral damage of their own journalists being blown away by a trigger happy numbskulled armed forces member out of control.

Cue Jack Nicholson saying "You can't handle the truth!" - they can't.

Making Assange guilty in any way possible is the only way 'the system' can make itself feel better about itself.

All the laws and technicalities and ridiculous court theatre are just part of the sad misdirection show. The 'interpretations of law', bizarre courtroom requirements and treatment show that Assange was actually right to fear his situation.

The fact they gamed the system to get a specific judge to preside over the trial while at the same time denying nearly all public eyeballs from actually being in the room whilst the case was being heard just shows how far they're willing to go to try to reinforce their self-righteous identity.

As I said in another post: The US want to apply US law somewhere other than the US to someone who is not a US citizen. They can fuck off. And that's from someone who thinks 'the law' (or application thereof) is a crock of shit a lot of the time even if there were some well meaning intentions made back in the day.

There's something very ominous about the line "The truth does not matter, there is only the power of men" in the trailer for the upcoming movie The Last Duel.
I like this approach.

> because the best vacations are between jobs.

I remember talking to someone at a party once. They were a long term contractor for Microsoft. They worked for 12 months and then were "laid off" for three months in order to preserve contractor status. After that three months, they were re-hired and good for another 12 months.

Apart from the dubious legality, I thought this would be just about the perfect working arrangement. 12 months is enough time to sink your teeth into anything and make a ton of progress. Three months is the perfect amount of time to do a side project, kick around, or explore a new place to live. And knowing you'd have a job to go back to makes it much easier to spend money on whatever you are doing in the interim.

Generally I agree and understand FB's position. But isn't all of the data from Ad Observer publicly available?
I think the point was that for a lot of people the settings are more productive than if they were left to their own devices.
No, Fb is doing the correct thing in this case. If I upload data to Fb, I expect Fb not to allow others to scrape it. I gave pictures/info to Fb, not to you because you had a browser extension installed.
Ah, that flight. It is a purchased flight. My understanding is that while they can throw the word "commander" and "pilot" around, that this will be a purely automated/ground-controlled exercise.

I'm sure you already know this, but most consultants take home 30-60% of their bill-out rate (depending on their experience, supervision/regulatory requirements, and overhead expenses).

Business development is almost more important than actually doing the work, and overhead/ancillary costs are higher than many expect.
That seems somewhat reasonable. Work hard, do exceptionally well, and you can benefit your grandchildren but not very far beyond that.
Facebook has no business in dictating what plugins the users would like to have on their browsers. Sure they can ban scraping because reasons, but both this or the Cambridge Analytica case are not data-leak unless we are assuming that a user's personal data, contents they generated and their social relationship status are all Facebook's property.

Acadamic use vs commercial use is a separate topic too imho.
