It always used to be the case that the main reason people learned tensor calculus was General Relativity (as well as some other bits of theoretical physics). I know machine learning is a popular and growing field, but I suspect theoretical physics remains the main reason people learn it.

Let's not be a jerk to people who are trying to learn. We all started out unaware of things we now consider essential knowledge. For (my) example, timezones offsets can and do include partial hour offsets (+0415 is/was real), and dates should generally be YYYY-MM-DD (when not displayed to end users) for your sanity (and because iso8601).

OP, you can look up the numeric formats for Germany in your system preferences or Excel or similar — it can help to see them templated out sometimes.

Well no, it's clear because it's a stock phrase in native English - no doubt unclear to non-native English speakers, but that doesn't necessarily make it poorly written.

Nim works super well for embedded. The thing is that you can turn off the garbage collector and do manual memory allocation if you want to. Or simply use ARC which works a treat on embedded. I wrote my own keyboard firmware in Nim (and did a presentation of it during NimConf 2021: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcHEhO4J29U). It runs super fast and the code size is smaller than some simple "Hello world" level programs using the Arduino system.

As for gamedev the ability to tune the GC by turning off automatic collection and then running it with a time-limit is perfect for preventing lag-spikes when a lot of stuff is going on (looking at you Java..). Nim actually performs very well, and the garbage collector does a great job of just getting out of the way and letting your programs fly.

Your point about shell-scripting is kind of valid, it is indeed a weakly typed world. But with how fast Nim compiles the edit-test cycle feels as fast as Python, and you save a lot of time from having a silly typo that you only encounter after having run your script for a little while.

The reason why Nim is good for pretty much anything is that the speed of the compiler and the garbage collection will rarely if ever stand in your way, and the flexibility of the syntax that stems from meta-programming allows it to be molded perfectly to the use-case.

Something tells me that being a truck driver isn't going to be much of a career by then.
Their number of users was down considerably, listed in non-GAAP metrics.

They have a reasonable claim to blame COVID, but their story is basically one of successfully increasing price.
Isn't truck driving in the US a horrible job? Pay is shit. Sometimes you work for free. You can't really have a family like you could in other industries, and every year your pay stays stagnant if you're lucky.

My friend operates a truck. He owns his own and only with that is he able to earn 80k a year. And even he is looking to get out because 3 months on the road at a time means no family life.

That sounds like a great long term “shit hits the fan” backup idea:

1) Upload an encrypted blob to an S3 unique AWS account with a burner credit card.

2) Cancel the account.

3) If you ever need to restore the data, restore the account and pay the difference.

Since uploads are free you just do this to a new account every so often and you’ll only need to pay the time difference of the most recent backup!
Stories of forgiven fees are an example of survivorship bias. Developers who rack up thousands in AWS charges by mistake and aren't forgiven probably don't tell too many people about the time they screwed up and cost their company a lot of money.
This might be accurate. Also at McDonald's you don't have to be away from home for weeks or months at a time.

Why is everyone so sure Yahoo would not have reneged on the deal anyway? If they were ready to renege the way they did, which is extremely ruthless, what makes you all think Yahoo would divulge they were doing due diligence on Viaweb with an existing floating offer already in place for LinkExchange? Maybe another company was out for Viaweb, Yahoo secures LinkExchange, but continues to try for Viaweb, totally ready to drop LinkExchange if Viaweb comes through.

Look at what the company did (renege an offer) and you will understand what they were also doing behind the scenes.

A little bit of a hot take, but I don’t think $125 mil goes out the window because someone said something over drinks (especially something as benign as an exaggerated flattering compliment).

I often give similar compliments when others undermine someone I know well, but respect me. I always say ‘look, that person is a better person than me’, all I’m trying to convey is if ‘if you respect me, know that I respect them, so take that into consideration’. I don’t literally mean they are a better person, that’s not for me, or for you to judge, so let me flip this notion on its head for all of us.

I'm still learning about AWS, but I don't think other clouds do the same.

This is good. We should be training more people directly from age 15/16 for direct entry to the workforce.

Agreed. Most people are not aware how similar street drugs and prescription drugs can be. It is a strange dissonance because it conflicts with what people think about medical doctors / psychiatrists.
Why we raised funds after bootstrapping for 10 years
Because there's no point in saving three characters (although I'd rather have it be "literal_json" or "inline_json") just to have people memorize what yet another symbol means in a highly specialized context when you could just read the word and be perfectly certain what the code means without looking it up the first time.

Even after the first time symbols have a non-trivial cognitive cost for a lot of people, if not most, all while providing near zero benefit unless your app is pretty much nothing but a bunch of inline json expansions.

> probably costs them tens or even hundreds of millions in lost revenue every year from developers being cautious about deploying things to their services

I see this as a good thing. They literally encourage you to be cautious with your pricing and resource usage, to the point where they put limits on what resources you can use without explicitly asking for more.

Developers should be cautious and aware.
Wonderful comment. Thanks. Reminds of my brother-in-law who would often tell me that he had a great "break-even-quick scheme" to talk about.

Blabbering your opinion when you should shut up has nothing to do with "honesty".

Well this is basically the philosophical argument between George Berkeley's subjective idealism[1] vs. philosophical materialism (though Berkeley as far as I remember - it's been a couple of decades - at least thought minds were real, and if in a simulation that is also not a given), so it's a well trodden area of philosophy going back to the 18th century, with parts of the ideas dating back much further.

You're right that since we can't falsify the general idea of simulation, it makes sense to simply discount it in most discourse, because we just have to act as if the world is real.

(EDIT: I'll add that "implementable by a universal Turing machine" or not does not change any of this in either direction)

This is the most straightforward rejection of Berkeley's idealism as well.

But that is different from discounting the possibility.

Because while we can't falsify the hypothesis that we're in a simulation, as I've expanded on in another comment too, if we are in one there's at least a possibility that we are in one where the hypothesis that we are not in one can be falsified (e.g. a doorway could open in front of me to let me "exit" the simulation; as wildly unlikely as it is; or we could travel into space and hit a literal wall, or an infinite number of other things)

Going further, it's in particular different from discounting the possibility because of details of the world, because all of what we think we know is a product of processes that if we are in a simulation could have been manipulated or outright manufactured.

So you're right that in our day to day lives it makes sense to just not worry about whether we are in a simulation or not and act as if we're not.

I don't agree that a belief in one would affect our ability to reason, though, as we are good at compartmentalising and saying exactly what we're saying here: As long as / until we can tell we're in a simulation, you just go on acting as if you're not. Whether you believe you're in one or not doesn't really make a difference as long as you have no evidence either way.

I 2nd this. I've driven a truck with a long horse trailer just pushing the edge of the requirement of a Class A license since I was 16 and I can say it is HARD. That's without having to worry about a tractor gear box and clutch brakes on an 18 wheeler. Everything you do has to be planned well in advance.

You need to constantly look out for human squirrels driving econoboxes and trying to pass you on the right while you make a wide turn. Crowded gas stations truly suck. Bollards hide and try to eat your trailer. If you get into a corner and can't turn sharp enough you can get trapped by your trailer.

Then there are the additional laws, weight limits, fines and fees, logging requirements, hour limits, hazmat, double trailers and a hundred other things that a trucker needs to know.
VMs have been a thing in the Mac world for a long time now, and these would be powerful enough to run a bunch of them.
> In 2001 when EarthViewer was first launched, the real “Brians” were still running the parent company, Intrinsic Graphics, doing what Unity and Epic/Unreal now have billion dollar valuations to do. The main reason that stalled, IMO, was that most game developers preferred to write their own game engines in 2001.

At the time, game developers were using idTech 2 and 3, Unreal Engine, Renderware, Vision and a slew of others. I think Alchemy simply lacked market presence.
Indeed. I disable turbo boost on my 16". It hurts peak performance but runs (slightly) cooler and quieter, and sustains for longer. This reads all kinds of wrong.

In fairness, it appears they're only mentioning taxes in the context of comparing to other countries' minimum wage - if Google wasn't displaying the other countries minimum wages, there'd be no reason to factor in taxes for a fair comparison.

2 : an unimpaired condition : SOUNDNESS

3 : the quality or state of being complete or undivided : COMPLETENESS

Sure, JS isn't ideal for compilers, but it is quite good - typescript is a better and more performant compiler than many languages have, as just one example.

You wouldn't be crazy for choosing JS for a new compiler project, even for work that had nothing to do with JavaScript.

(You would be pretty crazy to choose js to build a rich data science backend, in comparison).

I do agree the GC rules out some use-cases like many gaming applications.

The same people were simultaneously saying to trust he science, telling lies because it is what we needed to hear, and ignoring the very laws they were passing.

It is no wonder that people took a position opposite this.

Personally, I was vaccinated the moment it was available to me and I encourage people to be vaccinated. But we're at the point where people are being told to trust the science on vaccinations by the same people lying at each previous step along the way.

The naked power grab under the name of "emergency" has been going on for a year and a half now. A lot of places are just trying to increase their emergency powers where a significant portion of the people have just had enough.

Then there is the matter of preferred treatment for certain groups. Kids in California will be required to vaccinate -- but not the big union prison guards. The major league sports require all their employees to vaccinate -- except the players. BLM gets a pass on gathering, but just living one's life and being able to pay your bills isn't sufficient.
It is my understanding that at least a part of the problem (not sure how significant) is that some new pollution prevention regs at California ports have sidelined many independent operators because their rigs do not meet the required standards. New trucks are extremely expensive so a good chunk of these operators have left the market.
Nice. The things you focus on seem like the skills needed for actual work, as opposed to interviewing.

I was shocked to hear they turned such an easily replaceable tool into a bloated pile of adware. Such behavior is hostile to developers in a way that calls into question all of their other choices, including those they will make in the future.

Source code is a crown jewel for an IoT device, and they have opened a door for potential exploitation and exfiltration right where the sausage gets made. This tool has absolutely no business talking to the network for any reason, but now it downloads and displayed ads from potential third party sources (that the user cannot fully control and probably does want to not trust). What an unimaginably bad security decision. And they expect us to trust them with an IoT infrastructure?

As a direct consequence of this strategy, I have started to actively steer my IoT customers away from their offering, because I feel this move demonstrated that their stack should not be trusted.
It is curious - according to the article the tests were cancelled due to budget issues. How expensive is this testing? Is it really believable that we couldn't actually afford it???

I notice the attempt to blame common core, but... Nobody ever actually implemented common core (No True Scotsman). The whole thing was completely messed up by educational corporations "buying" state boards of education.
> I find it as a reminder of my fungibility as an engineer: I get paid absurd sums because of supply and demand, not because of my skills; anybody who can game the leetcode exam (and the architectural diagram quiz and the personality quiz) can walk in and take the same 300k income I have. If enough people do so, wages could be pushed down by employers.

Entry is one part of the puzzle. The actual skill bit hopefully comes into play after you get in, at which point your skill(s) improve your chances to survive / thrive at these companies.

The impression I get being in the UK is that driving HGVs is a cruel and soul destroying activity.

What is the intent of a user making a search for "minimum wage uk"? If they searched for "historic minimum wage", or "compare minimum wage" - sure, that graph is appropriate.

What I'm saying is that for someone searching for the UK's rate, there is only one correct answer. This is the rate mandated by the Government for your age.
I like Cue and Jsonnet and Starlark and so on. But all of these have very low mindshare (though Starlark has the most momentum thanks to Bazel), and who knows if they will be dead by next year.

Being an early adopter is difficult both in terms of the immaturity of the tooling — Cue, for example, only has a Go implementation at the moment — and in terms of the risk of betting on an evolutionary dead end, which can cause a lot of unnecessary churn when you want to standardize on something across an entire organization.

As a concrete example, I'd love to replace Kubernetes's use of YAML with something like the above. But the tooling is immature, and almost nobody is using any of it. For example, there's Isopod [1], which is a nice-looking tool to use Starlark with Kubernetes. But it might go the same way as Ksonnet.

Anyone actually using these tools?

Eh, no. Gnome doesn’t actually do fractional scaling – as said earlier in the thread, it’ll render at the next integer resolution and scale down in GPU.

Which I don’t really have the performance for (I’m already using Budgie’s option to do exactly that under X11 right now already, it’s not exactly the most performant solution).

And even under Wayland, Gnome still renders at the next integer scale.

While KDE under X11 actually renders at the correct resolution, with proper scaling and perfect sharpness, which I really miss.
