I don't understand. The world is complicated, but some things are simple. Gravity makes things fall. Increasing supply reduces price. How is this a dubious idea?

If developers are getting rich off building more, that means housing is crazy scarce, so scarce that people will fill the pockets of anyone who builds it. That means you need to build

Housing.

Econ 101.

If you give a starving person a carrot and they were still starving after eating it, would you say that feeding has failed? Quantity matters! A lot!
CA's this weird place with an amazing climate and lots of high-paying jobs. You can look at a similarly booming place like Austin, and still find affordable housing within a 1 hour drive anywhere. Same with Chicago, Atlanta, Boston, Philadelphia... Even NYC has affordable housing within a 1 hour commute.

That's a risk, but not a fundamental limitation.

The government can mandate whatever is within the bounds of the laws its passed (and its constitution). Unintended consequences are a reason to wield power judiciously and incrementally, not a reason to avoid wielding it at all.

> “But why doesn't it feel like all colors?”

Because RGB is not a perceptual color space.

With RGB, a lot of values are wasted encoding colors that are perceptually very similar. Many colors that are “interesting” to humans are encoded in a narrow slice of the RGB cube. Much of the cube is a deep ocean of indistinguishable bluish shades.

Video traditionally uses various luminance+chroma color spaces, which are more perpetually effective than RGB and allow for easy subsampling to save bandwidth on the less important color data.

I am U.S. based, so experience might be different for India teams. I find they are an insurance services company first, and a software company second. They are very product focused and so the engineering and quality departments suffer. I think the CEO is pretty good, and the company has been recently acquired by a larger company that is more engineering focused than the previous one, so I think there is a brighter future, though I don't think the DNA of the company is going to change overnight.

One thing to keep in mind: The India teams are not supposed to be "second class citizens". The company is trying to complement already existing teams with support from overseas, so there may be growth in that vein. Vertafore pays slightly lower in the State of Colorado than do other companies, but it's still within reasonable.

Overall I'd say it's a middle of the road services-turned-software company that is still experiencing growing pains. It has good, established products with income flows so its stable.

My thinking is as follows: if I commit to learning programming it would be for career reasons and not as a hobby. This is because there is an opportunity cost to my time, there are other skills that I could be developing that stack better with my current career. In other words, learning programming will come at the expense of furthering my current career.
Yeah, it's for get embed code.

Could definitely have used Dynamo as a persistent layer, but the PNGs are transient - the definition is stored in a GitHub gist owned by the user (another free tier! :). But generating the PNGs is expensive, so they get cached in S3. An S3 lifecycle rule automatically prunes PNGs older than a month, and they'll get regenerated from the gist if needed.
Yes, this is like a breath of fresh air. A lot of people think we have what seem to be intractable problems because a shadowy group is sobatoging The Popular Will. But the truth of the matter is we have intractable problems because there are tough trade offs, and having frank conversations about these trade offs is unpleasant, thus we focus on the Shadowy Group.

How does this solve the content moderation problem? We’re allowed to upload 18+ content on Twitter. But a nursing parent posting a nipple on Facebook is grounds for account deletion. Or in another case, what if I block a user on Facebook, but they come through on Twitter? Does interop need to be include verified user identity to prevent abuse?

It seems insane putting this stuff in an icy hole in the ground on a warming planet.

Why not find some geologically stable mountain or plateau that has a slow erosion rate in a desert and build a bunker?
Correct. More specifically a finance expert with enough understanding of programming to communicate clearly and plan collaboratively with programmers would likely be more valuable than anything they could become as a programmer. This is particularly true if as you say you're already in management.
(Mainstream IT management of projects intended for skilled users outside of tech is still typically a disaster.)

An expert individual contributor (some sort of trader?) in a high value finance niche might be valuable if they combined skills and wrote code for their previous role, but by management level your equivalent peer in tech may well be a dev manager.

The role you are likely to be most valuable in is straddling a finance management position and what tech would call a product owner. And, yes, as you seem to understand, your peak value to a company would likely be planning systems that would ultimately automate/destroy the jobs of of many of your previous peers and reports.

The combining of domain expertise is the key, if you're a success in your mid 30's you need to use what you have, not replace it.
I'm failing to find any ads at all on their site. I tried to follow every possible path from getpaint.net to a download and couldn't find a single ad (ublock etc. disabled ofc). Takes more clicks than really necessary, but I don't see any way to download the wrong thing.

The only thing "objectionable" (scare quotes intended) is that the version available on the Microsoft store is paid even though the software is freely available. I believe they aren't even allowed to reference the fact that it's free elsewhere on the MS store page. Certainly a weird situation, but not something I'd lose sleep over either tbh.

Edit: Oh, and of course certain cites (e.g. chip.de) out-SEO the real site to peddle their own version of it. And, who would have thought, Windows Defender immediately barks that the chip.de version is trojan-riddled...

1) Given Tesla's track record in blaming FSD related accidents on drivers, does one really want them to be the insurance company where their and a driver's incentives are obviously mismatched.

2) One of the issues, once the technical issues related to FSD are resolved, is insurance. So, will/does Tesla's insurance have a clause that says that in cases where FSD is at fault, Tesla is the liable party?

Row homes aren’t very land efficient and there aren’t any cities in the US or Canada where it would be financially feasible for governments to buy up enough land around cities to build enough row homes to meet demand. People who propose things like this never seem to remember that western governments can’t just take land from people who own it.

Having read the whole article, not sure what the point is. Focusing on the problem before the capabilities is good, but so much energy is spent working around missing capabilities, “this service won’t propagate the debug header and the team won’t fix it” that it is natural.

I will say design is useful - the AOL graph was mostly hub and spoke. App Routers -> domain specific orchestrators -> single coarse grained functional API. Paypal was more poi;t to point to point. AOL encouraged devs to take some time just mulling over a new problem or new servers until a sensible approach seemed feasible. Few weeks for a 3 month project, few months for a year long project.

and in the 90s good software had observability. Metrics and logs and tracing, all on the fly to enable or disable prospective msgs (you had to turn off a certain log msg on the fly when a dev accidentally left would should be a tracing level msg at like an always log level).
Is Sourcetrail and a document for taking notes measurably better than having an IDE with 2 panes, "go to definition" and "find all references", and a document for taking notes? In my experience it's not really, and it was tricky to setup Sourcetrail for a given project.

I saw in another comment saying Sourcetrail supplies "who-implements-who". CLion gives you this, Qt Creator doesn't really (outside of Find References), and I'm not sure about VS Code Clangd or Microsoft C++.
I intentionally chose the store version to support the creator, and the convenience of having it on MS Store. Paint.NET is well-worth the money.
Where hours of sleep/night is a reasonable proxy, providers of sleep tracking aren't incentivized to let you spend as much on Amazon as you can. A warning that says something like "hey, you've been getting ~2 hrs of sleep/night with no naps for the past couple days, you might want to consider doing X" would go a long way to helping me manage my symptoms.
1) That depends entirely on the model in question (size, complexity) and the amount of training material.

Using a standard dataset like CelebA [1] and an "HQ" model (512x512) like StyleGAN2, training requires at least 1 GPU with 12GiB of VRAM and training of about a week with a single V100 GPU.

Depending on your provider of choice, this will cost anywhere from ~$514 (AWS), ~$420 (Google) to $210 (Lambda Labs, RTX 6000 - should be in the same ballpark).

If your training process is interruptible and can be resumed at any time (most training scripts support this), costs will drop dramatically for AWS and Google (think $50 to $200).

2) Yes. A used ~$200 Tesla K80 will do. Alternatively any NVIDIA card with at least 8 GiB of VRAM is capable of doing the job, but lower batch sizes and increased training time are to be expected. If you can use a dedicated machine with an RTX 3060 or a brand new A4000 (if you're willing to pay the premium), close to a week of training time can be achieved.

3) Yes*

*your work will be freely available to everyone and your training process is limited to 12h or so per day.

All in all I wouldn't recommend training a StyleGAN model from scratch anyway. Finetuning a pretrained model using your own dataset can be done much more quickly (think hours to a day or two) and on consumer-level hardware (I train my models on an old desktop with a GTX 1070).

Assuming that's metro vancouver (not greater vancouver), with a population of 631k, 2.6% would be 16,000 empty homes. The "we just need to let developers build more houses" people should take a long think on what 16k vacant homes is doing to the market.

while not terribly important or outright not required this fails (treats urls as regex) for link-local addresses with device identifier (zone-id) applied like "[fe80::8caa:8cff:fe80:ff32%eth0]" although that would need to be fixed in the standard if its desired :)

If it is truly no longer relevant then no harm in zapping it. Consider replying with a Status: 410 Gone for search engines and give a friendly page saying "This page has been intentionally deprecated due to lack of relevance" or something along that line. You can create a webmaster account on google and have it crawl your site again to purge the 410 content from the index.
Just wait until something breaks or the system determines that you are a bad driver because instead of looking at the road you looked right of left (in the mirror), just like that Amazon story from a couple of days ago.

I seems that we are heading into this weird world where, like in the movie "Brazil" some weird bug in one of our surveillance and human management systems will end up destroying lives, leaving people completely helpless and plagued for their entire existence.
Async programming in C# is easy to use if you do not look under the cover (the generated state machine stuff is ugly and hard to reason about). But I find it tiring to repeat all these await and async keywords in almost every line of code. I wonder if someone already designed a language which is async be default, with some extra constructs to support running multiple operations in parallel.
I assume it's because the image follows very specific patterns that the PNG algorithm is able to compress it so much? Each individual square has a set green value, the pixel to the right is red + 1, and the pixel below is blue + 1.

I was trying to figure out how it's possible to store 16 million separate colors in 58,000 bytes. Looks like it's storing information about the gradient patterns, and not each individual color.
Tangential idea: I worked on Google's Web DevRel team for about 6 years. Another core conflict I saw a lot is the tension between developer experience and user experience. An improvement in developer experience sometimes resulted in a degraded user experience.
Oh yes, Nim definitely feels like an alternate reality where Python 2 became static and dumped some poor design choices.

Well I believe there's room between Rust and Python where Nim can grow. It made the TIOBE top 50 lately even. Likely it can eat enough market share from the edges of both Rust & Python to become more well known (more libs, tools, etc).

Rust is fantastic but tedious to program (to me at least) and it's community focuses on more formal type traits, etc making "scripting" trickier. Python is great for a mix of quick scripts, web dev, and data science but it's slow enough (and getting complex enough!) for many to want something faster and more stable yet still easy to write. Nim lives in between them and is more enjoyable to write than either for many. Also, Nim _could_ add Rust as a backend target and be relevant even if Rust displaces C/C++. ;)

Nim is also great for embedded systems too! I've been using it a fair bit and it's really nice [1]. There's a lot of room to grow in that field.

Thanks, boulos. (I considered sendig you a weird incident on GCP, by the way).

>Your headline "Get Data Products Right" is much more vague than the first sentence of your Show HN: "iko.ai offers real-time collaborative notebooks to train, track, deploy, and monitor models"

In the current draft, the headlie stays because it's the goal but the sentence "The machine learning platform for real world projects" is replaced by "Real-time collaborative notebooks to train, track, deploy, and monitor your machine learning models".

>I'd also suggest considering the buzzword "lifecycle" to merge write/deploy/track/monitor (test?): "Collaborative notebooks for your ML-model lifecycle".

I considered it, and even to use MLOps, but I'll postpone it for now. Every "validate-the-market" landing page claims "end-to-end lifecycle management no-code MLOps AI", therefore I wanted to be humble, thus specific in what this does for now.

The docs will also be improved and the "UX flow" as well to get the users unstuck from sign-in to job done smoothly. We won't look at making it pretty for now, though.

You're right in that the copywritig is vague. Maybe this helps: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xwPcPXAxT-nVimAiT2AWEIu9...
My impression of Janet is that it's threading a needle there.

The core is still heavily meant for embedding. It's not as light as Lua, but there's an amalgamation .c and .h, you can strip out everything that depends on an OS underneath, and so on.

That being said, a lot of folks that use Janet and are in the gitter/matrix server are currently focused on aspects of web dev, myself included. Lisp, as always, enables a lot of expressive power there that enables building your own pieces of the web stack, for example.

C bindings are relatively easy, and use the same interface that is used to build the standard library, so performance doesn't really take a hit from the interop code.

I can't speak to the GC, other than to say that it hasn't been an issue for me yet.

Yes, basically, it's written on Twitter because more people will see it there. On Twitter it needs to be broken into multiple posts anyway, but the post is broken into a few more than necessary so it breaks at more natural points and fits the common style on Twitter for post series like these.

I guess what bothers me is that if I'm going out of my way to try and deal with Clojure, I don't want the information with all of the JVM magic (tm) underneath, I just want to know why my Clojure is wrong. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever really used a hosted language of any kind before, for serious work, so I guess I've just never had to be aware of this.

On a laptop with only a single screen of real estate, even as orderly as the trace might be, it's a distinct hassle to scroll and walk it all the way back to a method argument problem somewhere, and equally frustrating to think about because I'm using a functional language to try and avoid thinking about classes and methods and whatnot.

Maybe I'm just expecting Clojure to taste like Scheme, and I'm probably wrong.
Even if you built a URL validation regex that follows rfc3986[1] and rfc3987[2], you will still get user bug reports because web browsers follow a different standard.

For example, <http://example.com./> , <http:///example.com/> and <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space (punctuation)> are classified as invalid urls in the blog, but they are accepted in the browser.

As the creator of cURL puts it, there is no URL standard[3].

I think the main motivation for doing it in Svalbard is the seed vault, which benefits from the cold, dry environment in the permafrost. And sure, that the remote location lends its self to Foundation-like restore-civilization-after-the-dark-age scenarios, but it works fine for shorter-term back up too. If there's a blight that wipes out corn or something we can use the seed vault to replant. (Assuming we can cure the blight... cf the American Chestnut.)
