I have a VERY similar experience with my first job, except 10 years earlier.

My first job was in IT at a bank. I was working with Windows NT and a migration to Windows NT 4.0 across the entire company. I learned a hell of a lot about Windows NT but I knew I wanted to be a programmer. So every day after work, I would just program on my own, doing various projects.

After a year and a half, I interviewed for a programming job at another company. I 100% lied and said I was doing programming at the bank, but was able to pass the interview questions (this was mid-90s so they weren't anywhere as difficult as they are today). I got the job, and from then on I could label myself as an actual programmer.
Incompetent people don't want to hire good employees. Like recognizes like.
One of the things that's been missed is that remote working has been a big part of counteracting the massive inflation that's been caused by covid. Making people go into the office is a effectively a pay cut with all the price increases. Start forcing people in and salary expectations will rise accordingly.. .
You want to set allow_nan=False to be compliant. Otherwise this _will_ annoy someone who has to consume your shoddy pseudo-JSON from a standards-compliant library

Funny (well, not really) thing is NaN and Inf are perfectly valid floating point numbers acoording to most (?) standards used on computers. To the point that I don't understand why it was left out of JSON. So unless you're 100% sure you won't encounter these numbers the choice is between not being able to use JSON, or finding hacks around (and using null isn't one of them since you have 3 numbers to represent), or just using non-compliant-yet-often-accepted JSON and possibly annoying someone whos parser doesn't handle it.

And for me there have been quite a lot of cases were I just quickly needed something simple to interface between components so when finding out they all support JSON+Nan/Inf then the choice is usually made quickly.

A 28hp tractor tamed the world once upon a time. Back when a family could work their hearts out on a 100 acre farm.

A single family with a 28hp tractor cannot farm 1000 acres effectively. It's hard to find 10 families each with a 28hp tractor willing to go all-in to farm 1000 acres. And if you could, they'd get wiped out by the conglomerate that uses a stable of million dollar combines to farm 20,000 acres.

A California farmer doesn't feed a Central Valley community. An Iowa farmer doesn't feed all their townfolks. Their target market is the entire globe. Pigs to China, soy to Japan, barley to Germany, corn to Tunisia.

That said, I think you are right that there is a market for capable, compatible tractors. And also a market for 28hp tractors. In the auto world, Volkswagen and Toyota each make 11 million cars a year and even Suzuki makes 3 million. But there is still a place for Tata to make 1 million cars per year to meet a specific demand. If you are content to meet a specific need, and not driven to be top 5 or bust... If you don't even need to be top 20... There is a place where you could stay in business.
Your search notes American companies doing that. It also notes it being done in big cities like Chicago. There is zero I see about euro grocers buying up property in rural areas.

I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your writing style and the overall message of the article. Thank you.

Whenever a topic like this comes up on HN or Reddit, most of the comments I see are incredibly pessimistic about the job market and/or reek of entitlement. I'm not saying that we should make excuses for exploitative employers but unless you get extremely lucky when starting out, you just have to show up and put in the work, even when the works sucks, even when the pay sucks. Then after a little while, put that shit on your resume and move on to something better. Rinse, repeat.
Indeed - the name did ring a bell when I saw it, and then it all came back when I saw cdrtools at the top of the list (early 2000s in my case as well).

Thanks Jorg.
I think this is the right attitude. Even if you don't want to use nuclear power, it obviously warrants serious attention.
And Microsoft already tried making a better package format (msix) for their other centralized package manager (Microsoft Store), complete with sandboxing and everything. It wasn't exactly a roaring success.
Almost certainly. Taxation is hard enough between states, for both the employer and the employee. Adding another country in the mix and it gets really hard, especially when (as is common with tech employees) people go to other countries to work without paying the slightest attention to how incredibly many immigration and labor laws they're breaking in their target nations.
> "Just think about what 0% inflation means. It means your money never loses value. That's frankly impossible."

your causation is backwards. inflation is an emergent property of the economy, and can be negative or zero if it wants (e.g., japan).

> "That labor is simply gone and so is the value of the money and that loss must be represented through a negative interest rate."

this makes no sense. what interest rate must become negative when unemployment rises?
There's really no such concept as an employee in another country. You need a subsidiary incorporated in that country and then they become an employee of that entity. So...huge paperwork hassle at the very least.
I've learned not to regret my early failures in life. They're usually low-cost ways to prevent more significant failures later.

You're as smart as you are today BECAUSE you made those mistakes. You've gotten the painful part out of the way.
The belief that laws ought to be followed is an ideology. There are also plenty of people who refuse to obey laws for ideological reasons.

There are non-ideological reasons to follow laws as well, such as avoiding punishment, but that would presumably fall under coercion.

i built a much nicer version once and it is QUITE difficult to drive the etch-a-sketch rigidly, as there isn't much mechanical support inside the machine. i ended up removing the knobs, adding steppers directly opposite to the shafts, and using a homemade bronze coupler. it worked very nicely but was ugly.
So many standards, for sure. But... parsing json is actually simple enough. You require those who send you data to comply with specific libraries during export and import. If they send a file which can't be imported then they sent a corrupted file. Bonus if you lock the version. Be as specific as you need to be.

There are people who will quibble around "there are thousands of libraries". No there aren't. There's just the N you support.

We specify all sorts of details for other aspects of computing. Why wouldn't we specify the data format as well? Change control / configuration management are very useful.

This is how you reduce pointless complexity. Nip it in the bud as early as possible.

EDIT: Not sure why people disagree with this comment. This is basic data management. Are people really asserting that we are NOT allowed to set a minimum standard? This is also called "setting boundaries".
At medschool, a professor destroyed a classmate who uttered this “Despite the lack of statistical significance, these results are clinically meaningful”

German OSB Alliance warns: Microsoft Cloud threatens digital sovereignty
Unless that migration is constantly tested, it's not going to happen in two billing cycles.

Cloud providers aren't Comcast. You don't get discounts for threatning to move from, because both providers and customers know the costs are impossibly high.

Which is why a lot of their pitch is that never be in a situation where you'd have to do move (some of course are better here, one cloud is trying very hard to overcome their parent company reputation), otherwise no sane executive would sign up.

The discounts you do get from clouds is by promising to move more work to them.
For the most part, everything that's not barred by law is "legal." Does this use constitute copyright infringement (if it were trained on copyrighted material)? IMO no, but it depends very much on the use of the model. Copilot is especially interesting because instead of being used for simple inference the model is being used to author new works that might aspire to also be copyrighted. Are those new works derivative works? Perhaps. We consider art and science produced by humans to be inspired in part by that which they've been exposed to before. If the model hasn't been overfitted, it should generalize its 'knowledge' sufficiently that it's 'similar' to our intelligence. Humans can commit copyright infringement when they recall and author content so specifically as to be a derived work.

In any case: my opinion matters for naught. The only 'update' you'd get that matters is from a court producing a ruling. Legal journals might chime in but their opinion isn't binding. Theoretically there could be legislation to clarify but that's probably a really, really, really long way off.

Certainly some of the training looks to be content that's not copyrighted or no longer copyrighted, btw.

I'd like to examine the principle from another angle, with the following question.

Regarding US voters who reelect pols that legislate in response to major campaign donations: How much responsibility do those voters have for legislative corruption?
Unless your friends have tape-worms, are suffering from untreated Celiac disease, or the like, [1] I doubt you're significantly more efficient at absorbing food energy than they are. It's a myth that people get overweight from being better than others at extracting energy from food. In a peer comment to yours, I gave a citation to that effect.

I think basal metabolic rate can vary significantly. This might explain what you're observing in a more biologically plausible way. My (imperfect) understanding is that it's partly genetics and partly in your control via strength training.

But I think you're doing yourself a disservice if you're discounting too easily the possibility that you're not comparing your eating and exercise with theirs accurately. How confident are you that you're actually eating no more calories than they are in a typical week? You might see them eat a huge amount when you're together, but maybe that's their "cheat" day, maybe they don't snack or drink alcohol as much as you do, etc. I think a lot of people are fooling themselves when comparing to others.

"Suddenly I have to ask if I am getting the entire story. Surely there is a better source for this story?"

Generally it's in good taste to declare ones business and ownership ties. For respected journalism this is not an obvious problem.

This is pretty much the story that's been going around in space news circles. It's not "news" news, just rehash of more or less "well known" facts. Mainstream media has not kept up that much with BO so that makes this article more poignant.

I'd say it's an incredibly strong claim that they aren't negligible.

Most research I'm finding says that your BMR may drop by like 10% with a classic calorie restricted diet (which itself accounts for about 75% of total calories burned in a day).

So what are we talking here at most? 150-200 calories a day if a diet is able to completely stop a decrease in BMR as you lose weight? Less if it's not?

What's the line that makes it worth it? A 100 calorie per day optimization is not worth it to me when I have to drop 500-1000 a day to have any real weight loss.
Green but potentially dangerous. Nuclear risks can be more easily managed anyway. Normalize nuclear power!
> A higher fidelity social product would automatically nip and tuck our social graphs over time as they observed our interaction patterns

I feel creator driven platforms like YouTube and TikTok do exactly this. I'm surprised that social media platforms haven't tried building similar algorithms where your recommendations are based off of what you're currently interested in instead of giving a platform to the loudest voices. I wonder if maybe this is a much harder problem to solve with companies like Facebook and Twitter.
I know exactly what you describe, I had migraines for many decades; oddly enough now that I am older I still get the aura, but the headache itself is barely a Tylenol.

I also had cluster headaches one summer in college; now those are truly the worst pain in the world. Imagine an electric drill going through your head for 15 minutes once a day, then vanishing.

Either "Apple" is lying or "Apple" should be fired for incompetence.

Since they control ALL the process and have ALL the logs and data points, so there's absolute no reason to be "surprised".

Also there are plenty of internal emails talking about many reasons for these "frustrations". Maybe our guy Tim Cook is really a Michael Spindler type of guy.
While I applaud the move away from small ICE tools, I have to wonder how e.g. landscaping services will adapt. A day's work will certainly outstrip the capacity of a single battery for a lawn mower or leaf blower. So the contractor will use multiple batteries, and likely have a charging setup mobile with them. How will they power the charger, by running a small generator on their equipment trailer, by idling the work truck and using an inverter or like?
By your definition, over-valued companies would be destined for failure, through no fault of company executives but poor judgement on the investor's part.

A corollary is that the company's founders would be way more "successful" raising money from investors who value their company least.

PS: In case you are running a startup, consider selling me 10% of your shares for $1, so that you'll look successful a couple years later as long it hasn't gone bust yet.
That's exactly why for me as a customer the stringent review process is a bonus. When thousands of developers autogenerate their apps from templates with minimum amount of original content I want someone to control the floodgates between me and them.
Why allow children to use these platforms, at all? Image-oriented social media should be restricted to ages 16 and up.
I envy your ability to put in more than about 6 hours of real work in a day. Actually, even 6 every day may be stretching it.

Fashion is so diverse that you can hardly ever create something that looks distinctively new. Me with these shoes. They either look weird or regular, and the regular probably exist in a very similar style.
BigTech can use the social graph combined with additional knowledge they are collecting on you to shape social outcomes in subtle, but controlled ways. For example, if you begin to be seen as unfavorable by certain people or by some algorithm, the information you see might quietly begin to change: the jobs you see posted, the health care will be offered, the schools you apply to. These would not result in some massively obvious punishment for certain behaviors, but in a way that might be viewed as a marriage between shadowbanning and bias in ML models, which is to say that the bias would be fully controlled and quietly implemented in a continuous way.

Now, LinkedIn and Facebook can track social milieus, but are they using that knowledge to direct social phenomena, so to speak? For example, if a group of people in opposition to BigTech begins to coalesce, are they using social media to discourage, shape, and manage the discourse in a way that diminishes the likelihood that such a group can mount a cohesive threat to BigTech (for example, by increasing fragmentation or cooling by increasing the amount of conflicting information different people in that group receive, or impeding the spread of certain kinds of information within that group)?

Bit of feedback: the home page is pretty sparse. The video is great, but it wasn't obvious how to find the repo or where to get the package (or even what language it can be used with). I had to open the Demo, wait for it to load, and then click the Github link there, and then the readme told me it was available on NPM.

My experience as a student under the former regime (dedicated gifted classes) and the parent of a student under the latter (ad hoc whatever) is that the latter is, relatively speaking, a joke.

It throws all the onus on teachers who have 20+ kids to teach to the basic state standards. They can't possibly develop and oversee individual sub-curricula for different levels in each subject. They do their best, but it's just not possible for them to dedicate more than a tiny fraction of their time to special instruction for advanced students.

From the article, "Netflix then suspended Field along with two other employees for trying to attend a director-level meeting they weren’t invited to."

So, while it's true that the employee has been suspended, it doesn't seem to be for the reason the headline suggests.
Browsers are king for some people, not others. For the stuff I'm working on, the browser is just the tip of the iceberg. For everything below the waterline, the operational benefits (strong static typing, well-defined backward- and forward-compatibility semantics, better throughput and latency characteristics) greatly outweigh the, "but we have to use a lightweight Envoy reverse proxy to expose some things to the browser," problem.

I also have a tendency to consider that Envoy proxy to be more of a feature than a bug, anyway. It's pretty easy to set up, all told. We want to gatekeep the edge, anyway, for various reasons, so it's not like there was ever a reality in which we weren't going to be fussing with a reverse proxy. And it serves as a nice opportunity to stop and be thoughtful about exactly what we're choosing to expose to the Internet.

Speaking purely as a developer, I do find it to be an annoyance. But I also acknowledge that inconveniencing developers for the sake of the greater good can be a wise move.

In my experience, protobuf has a minimum project complexity threshold before it starts to make sense.

Yes, if both sides of your interchange are systems which have build infra setup, it provides a better experience. But if you need to access data from outside of your usual projects, or from shell, or from random data analysis notebooks, It becomes a major pain.

Recent example: we’ve had an orchestrator script which was written in “python with stdlib only” - no build step, download an archive, extract and run. This script had to talk to third-party program which would export protobuf only. This was a major pain as yon can imagine.
