> you still need to handle dynamic behaviour and that's most of the work.

I'm not sure what you think would be difficult exactly. You've said that archive.org has already done the programming needed to ensure dynamic resources are discovered, and now those resources are content ids rather than URLs. Nothing's really changed on this point.

> Relying on volunteers means that you need far more copies because nobody has a commitment to provide resources or even tell you if they decide to stop

Yes, but you would also have many more volunteers. Many people who wouldn't donate financially would donate CPU and storage. We saw this with SETI@home and folding@home, for instance.

> nobody has a commitment to provide resources or even tell you if they decide to stop

Why not? If you provide a client to participate as a storage node for archive.org, like SETI@home, then they would know your online/offline status and how much storage you're willing to donate. If you increase/decrease the quota, it could notify the network of this change.

I like the simplicity and the visual aesthetic. Have not tried yet. One recommendation based on your docs, maybe a next feature - you want users to poll your API for task completion. This traffic to your API can be avoided. Use events instead. Require users to give you a post back link instead and post to it when you are done.
> I like to think of the stock market as an insight into wealth-transfer (from the poor to the rich, obviously... it doesn't flow any other way in the US at this point).

That's not true. Sam Walton and Jeff Bezos got rich by improving the lives of their customers. You might complain that the improvement came at the cost of exploiting workers. I disagree, but for the sake of argument I'll concede at the margins Amazon and Walmart could pay more. But the bulk of their wealth came from 1) them stealing it from other capitalists, keeping a portion for themselves and passing the rest onto their customers; 2) creating it ex nihilo and dreaming of something (AWS) that never existed and creating it.
The motivation behind such a move is likely iOS 14 updates.

>Months long waitlists and clowns that can't even get billing right the first few times

I've been getting bloodwork done at my physician's office for two years and Labcorp started sending me bills again. Same insurance, but they just randomly stopped filing with them until I spent long enough on the phone for a few of my hairs to grey.

When I was younger, I got a nasty infection after my wisdom teeth were removed. The ER bill, which was close to $5k for a doctor to look at me for roughly 5 minutes and write me a prescription for antibiotics and some pain meds, bounced between health and dental insurance for months, both saying the other should pay for it, before they kicked the can to my parents.

My mom had connections in the hospital's administration, so she was able to get it coded properly for health insurance to pay it. But I am probably the only person in this thread who can say "my mom is on a first-name basis with the people who can get billing issues resolved by the next day." Everyone else gets to sit on the phone for hours trying to sort it out, hoping that insurance will show mercy or that the hospital will bother recoding, or at least give them a bill they can stomach.

I can attest to what @lacker has written. In twenty years I've been visiting Jewel lake, I have never seen it completely dry. The stream running in has gone dry. The marsh under the boardwalk is bone dry. The ferns are now kindling. The turtles are gone.

On the fog-ward side of the hill (the wet side; also known as Berkeley) the succulents are dying. Until this year, growing a jade plant (and many other succulents) required no watering. The mist in the air was enough. They're now red and their leaves are shriveled. They are dying from the drought. I see this every day.

The media is not making things up, and they are not sensationalizing this. If anything the media is under-reporting how bad things are.
I think many people who start finding mathematics interesting at an older age and blame the math education in young age missed that their intellectual capability also strengthen with their age.

No, he's saying that you don't tell someone who is hungry "if you would learn to fish, you wouldn't be hungry" and leave it at that. Especially don't do this if you don't know how to fish yourself. But do, if you know that "learning to fish" is good, team up with the other person and learn to fish together. At the very least, you can help them find an angler to teach them.

How is it a pitfall? The article clearly elucidates several uses of the "=delete" construct. I don't see any pitfalls, just some new uses of the feature. And I expect most people to be the same: most people only ever use "=delete" on the copy constructor and the copy assignment operator, now this article tells them you can actually use it on other things too. There's no pit to fall into, just new ways to use a feature.

I'm not actually sure this makes the metaphor less applicable. Network and position matter for both, but the point values in Chess serve to describe the relative value of each piece in addition to that, while the lack of differentiation between pieces in Go means that even more attention must be paid to the network and positions. It is not that network or position don't matter in Chess, but that only network and position matter in Go.

I fully agree - it's an extremely low bar and yet the US doesn't reach it. Edit: I mean the system as a whole, with a few ups and many lows.
But a thoroughly integrated system isn't necessary. One proposal is to simply allow every American to enroll in Medicare, keeping the remainder of the system the same. It's the most expensive option, but since people on Medicare like Medicare, it might be the best next step for user acceptance.
That's a fair point assuming upward economic mobility in the U.S but statistically speaking it's more likely someone stays rich or stays poor than it is that they move upward into a different bracket entirely

While it is true that much of the recent wealth in the U.S. is self-made and not entirely inherited. It's also true that a child born poor in this country is far more likely to stay as such than they are to become part of the top 10%.

If we lived in an egalitarian society, then pointing out the wealth of the top 10% might be divisive, but considering that our current wealth inequality is worst than 1774 France, then I believe it's a fairly accurate picture being painted.

As others have mentioned, WordPress is still huge. I believe Facebook is still mostly php, and I'm sure there are tons of sites started 2005-2010 that are still php.

PHP is easy to deploy, atleast from the start, but was difficult to use compared to python and ruby. It's deployment model also encouraged people to edit directly on the server, which lead to all kinds of problems. So it got a bad reputation.

I have heard that it has fixed many of it's inconsistencies, but many have already moved on. The ones still using it are either stuck, or happily quiet.
You are right. I was confusing the two. I have edited my comment.
I feel like in this particular case, the first step is to recognize there's a "problem" at all. I don't know the person in this story, but it seems like to them, communication is not that important. Maybe the most important thing for them in their work is technical achievement. (I've definitely been in that boat before.) As a result, they are likely never going to work on the communication aspect.

This is like the quote of "Don't tell me what you value, show me your budget and I'll tell you what you value." Before you go and try and improve yourself, it's good to be honest about what you value and what your goals are. If what you value is moving up the corporate ladder, then learning even more about C++ is not going to help. On the other hand, if it's to be even better technically, then go for it. If you value improving your business all around, then the communication angle is a better place to spend your time.

Social Security and Medicare are federal taxes so hopefully some people are aware of that.
The top 10% are worth a ton, there’s not getting around that. But not slicing by age really does muddy things. The US median net worth for 65-74 is over a quarter million dollars. The median net worth for under 35 is $14k. That’s about a 20x difference! Anything that doesn’t split by age is nearly impossible to interpret.

For reference the top 10% net worth splits at about $1.2M, so both of your points are important.

Okay, how about a different analogy then. Seatbelts.

Wireguard is a seatbelt where you plug the latch plate into the buckle, it lets out an audible "click" and you're secured. If you fail to secure it properly, the latch plate will not be held by the buckle and will retract. It will be immediately obvious that you aren't secured and the car will refuse to move until the problem is resolved.

IPSec is a seatbelt where the process of putting the latch plate into the buckle requires adjusting several knobs on the buckle to the correct setting depending on your specific size and weight and then placing the latch plate into the buckle at the _exact_ right angle. The settings of these knobs and the angle required differs slightly or significantly between manufacturers as well as model years.

With the IPSec seatbelt, failing to perform these steps correctly often results in the buckle failing to engage and the car failing to start. But sometimes it also results in the buckle letting out a "click" and appearing to be latched while not being properly engaged and able to protect you in a crash. This counts as buckled as far as the car is concerned though and it's happy to let you drive this way.

Well what if I _want_ to drive around with only the appearance of a seatbelt without the safety of it, huh? Wireguard won't let me do that!

Sure, there are _very_ specific situations where IPSec is the only option to implement what we need. Great, I'm glad it exists to cover off those use cases.

But when everyone's getting the common case wrong in subtle and dangerous ways, the answer isn't "well, it's as complicated as brain surgery get good scrub" (I can't imagine how you think that's a defense of IPSec.). It's possible to design a system that allows a secure tunnel _without_ the complexity and massive number of footguns (see: wireguard). For most use cases, that makes IPSec defective by design.

If GM designed their cars to have as many buttons and knobs as a 747 cockpit, they would never make it to market. Manufacturers have been forced to recall vehicles for much less[0].

By all means, continue to use it, but expecting people to learn brain surgery to set up a secure tunnel is and should be a non-starter.

“Debugging statistics” might mean something like, when analyzing WER data they could see if a new compiler build was having an elevated error rate, for example.

That might not imply compiler bugs; it could also be the result of fixes for things that now crash instead of doing something unsafe.
> They program in whatever subset of C++ their organization allows

So, no-one writes C++ except for some organization that tightly controls their work? :-( And no large organizations allow for some coding autonomy in writing, say, the insides of libraries and components?

> Google's C++ dialect

With changing language versions, dialects change. For example, union types: With C++17 you have variants; which are still a bit painful compared to other languages' union types, but are usually an improvement over just using unions and crossing your fingers you've always been careful with them.

> side note: this was a giant language fail that foo(f) could be a const reference or a non-const reference and there's no way to know without looking at the declaration

C and C++ have a lot of implicit type conversions. It's fair to be against that, but it's not like this specific aspect is a "giant fail" in itself; it makes sense, consistensy-wise.

> Facebook's dialect:

Those aspects you describe are indeed annoying, but, again - are we talking about recent code?

> The depth of knowledge required to create templates that don't behave unexpectedly ... is so large that only specialists should engage in it.

I disagree. If you're not obviously careless, your templated types will be reasonably well-behaved.
Being from 2017 the article misses some of the coolest advances in semantic search, which is now pretty easy and lets you search in (almost) the same way they would ask a shop assistant when looking for something specific - "do you know where the thing with the cool circles and pointy bits is?" (maybe being a little more specific...)

Google do this and they're very good at it, but a lot of companies need their own search capabilities - think about those internal help pages. They usually seem super outdated compared to the semantic search capabilities of Google.

In the end there's only a few components to it, you use some NLP model to create what are called 'dense vectors'. Then you put all these dense vectors into an 'index' which is optimized for fast search (that comes under the umbrella of ANN search). Then given a new query you just compare that to the items in the index and return the most similar results.

I covered the search part of it (https://www.pinecone.io/learn/) with Pinecone, who provide managed-search - although here we mainly focus on Faiss (a great engine from Facebook AI). However, we're also looking to create some content covering the first half too, which is 'how to build dense vectors' using models like BERT, we have one post so far on that (https://www.pinecone.io/learn/dense-vector-embeddings-nlp/)
Nearly everyone in the US lives in a state with a sales tax (only five do not have a state-level sales tax: Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon.) And, of course, nearly everyone buys something regularly, whether food or clothing or other necessities of life.

It's 100% absurd and untrue to say "a very large portion of Americans don't pay for any of government" when most of us pay something every time we get a box of crackers or put gas in our tanks.

And if you're going to follow up and clarify with a much narrower way that your statement could be taken to be true, then I'd like to know why you opened with "a very large portion of Americans don't pay for any of government" instead of that much more specific -- and much less "the poors are getting a free ride" -- statement.

Although you're totally correct I think you're underselling the complexity of the situation.

On paper, the super rich (and even just merely "very" rich) can even show negative incomes [1] because they can a take very low interest-rate loan (which is in a way kind of tax, but paid to the bank) backed by their assets to pay expenses thus they can show no income and no realized capital gains.

But, if you think about it, the practice is not all that different than taking out a home equity line on a house, for example.

So whomever writes that law better be really careful or else the only ones who are going to get caught in that net are the middle class.

Here is a nice article on the subject.

I'm going to simplify the framework here:

- give yourself a stable income

- give yourself energy

- manage your well-being

Unfortunately, this is also a framework for being a non-producer of side-projects. One element that's missing is drive.

You need something driving you to take on side projects. And it doesn't matter if you're a solo developer or a well-paid worker bee at FANGMAN.

Without drive, you'll have no courage to take on a side project. After all, what will you gain by it?

Without drive, you'll lack the guts to stick with a side project that spins out and seems to go nowhere.

Without drive, you won't keep looking for the next thing to fill your notebook to overflowing with ideas that might someday work.
These are great to look at for something like tornado data, specifically because you probably don’t care at all about what the data tells you.

For a while I was a data science consultant and then chief data scientist at a major organization, and all throughout, the most common request was for an interface that looked like “Minority Report”. I don’t even remember what that was, but, in almost all cases, these visualizations are something like corporate edutainment. If you are looking for an answer to a question, it is usually a number. Visualization can be useful if you don’t know why you are looking at the data in the first place, and even then, there is a choice between a chart that is made for understanding the data, and a ‘visualization’ that is made for entertaining the viewer.

I don't know, if you just redistribute ALL the wealth by murdering the 10% to the rest, what do you think will happen to the taxes ? What will happen to all that "the rich don't pay enough", when actually they paid everything, when it's time for YOU to pay ?

I think that's what all these people in the thread hint at.
