Author of the linked blog post here. Understand the skepticism. But get rich schemes, credit repair, and real estate are all prohibited from using Stripe—they're against our terms of service (https://stripe.com/restricted-businesses#unfair-predatory-or...). Many of these businesses predictably see chargebacks from customers since their services don't pan out. We (and the credit card networks) carefully monitor for this activity and move these businesses off Stripe, and they're excluded from the data in blog post. We've also only analyzed legitimate businesses, and the Teachable example is one of them.

Get rich schemes have always had the tools to sell and market their stuff—snake oil and Nigerian princes have been around since the beginning of the internet. What's different about the past year (and what the big jump can be attributed to) is that creators have the tools now—from streaming services to newsletter platforms. More individuals are equipped to pursure their passions—selling their books, art, or podcasts—motivated by the largest audience that's ever been online, due to 2020's accelerated shift. As the post says, the category that was fastest growing over the past year was community—connecting real people with each other, surrounding the output of these creators.
Thank you for building it! I haven't kicked the tires yet, but as a node developer, this feels like the future: we can move fast with node when it makes sense, and get rust level performance when we need to. Best of both worlds!
> it’s safer

That depends. Not in a crash event. A bike can't match the safety measures that even the dumbest car has today. Hitting an obstacle in a car with seatbelts and airbags, or hitting it in a bike are totally different cases, even at a lower speed.
I can vouch that these behaviors occur, I’ve experienced a couple of them. Camera on, live (not photo) image verification and single connection to the shared sessions are a must. Pre-Covid, it was galling to determine that the interviewee passing the phone screen and the interviewee failing the in-site were two different people.
IMO making a projectM-gstreamer plugin would accomplish this a lot easier and better. I wanted to do this but wasn't sure how to create the GL context.

Friendly reminder of the types of companies you're getting your miraculous Wuhan Coronavirus vaccines from. Just in case you were still under the mistaken belief that they actually want to help you, rather than make a quick buck off a global pandemic in an attempt to satisfy their never-ending thirst for yet more profit.

Er, in what alternate history were there “hippie days” (except maybe as some kind of retrospective event) in the 1980s and 1990s?

About a decade ago I began noticing that Thai restaurants just seemed to be better than other restaurants, especially Indian restaurants.

I grew up in India so I would often try an Indian restaurant -- invariably it would be a white-tablecloth experience, not particularly pricey, have garish color schemes or artwork, be well-reviewed online, and mostly empty. Sometimes there would be a TV on playing a Bollywood dance scene at low or no volume.

Thai restaurants, on the other hand, had a far more pleasing aesthetic (lots of warm wood) with interesting art, did not often have white tablecloths, were similarly priced, didn't have TVs, and were absolutely packed.

I have never in my life had to wait to be seated at an Indian restaurant, and I have often been the only person in the restaurant. It was such a noticeable trend for me that I began wondering how Indian restaurants stay in business. I think they break even through takeout and deliveries.

Also, I think that while people claim to like Indian food, the spice-profile of Indian food is just not as palatable to global tastes as the spice-profile of Thai food.

Also, no one gives a *^&% about whether some food is "authentic" but everyone sure pretends to care. And another thing -- there is no such thing as "the best pizza" or "the best burger" in any city.

Glad that the data shows "race" is BS. Real science knows this but as we've all experienced/observed, no one likes real science =) So its perpetuated by "entertainment science". Whats alarming is it became legal definitions of people here in America not to mention perversely political.

Take this example for instance ... ask anyone what race is Barack Obama? He has both European and African ancestry but is categorically, as in a matter of fact only black. The white side is completely neglected. When we look into why this is its deeply rooted in politics and slavery.
Too much of a weighty dependency and too much of a niche IMO. For example, the last time I tried to build Hyperscan, I failed and gave up after 15 minutes of trying.
Yes, whatever the duration, you'll eventually stop vomiting some time after taking the medicine. Sometimes by chance it will seem like a remarkably short time from medicine to cure compared to the duration of the sickness. This is how a lot of ineffective traditional medicines "work". For a cold or nausea, nearly everyone will experience their problem fixing itself after taking the medicine and combined with cultural beliefs, use that to convince themselves that the medicine treated the disease. Just look at the number of people online who credit some (real) medicine with some outcome despite the fact that they have no way of knowing causation. Or young people who say "I don't drink FooBar type of alcohol because it makes me vomit." after one occasion getting plastered and ending up vomiting. It's good old mind-tricks of correlation vs causation.

There's a reason real medicine requires preregistered double blind trials. It's just far too easy to get causation wrong without using rigorous scientific methods.

As long as you're sure they're all based on the same start time and not off by +/- 12 hours, no. One of the reasons a UTC+TZ format is useful is that it makes clients be explicit about this.

This may or may not be a problem you need to worry about in your API depending on use and clients. For example, if you're only ever sending times and not accepting them, you can just define that the epoch you return is based on UTC or locally and let clients real with it.

If you don't care about pre-epoch times, then it's a compact and fine representation for the DB, single they all have easy conversion functions to their internal formats
>Perhaps these are just fundamentals of human experience

I think they are fundamentals of human experience. Especially because people are culturally influenced by those with more pronounced experiences than they themselves have had.
When I was in The Hague there were always a dozen bikes parked outside of every restaurant, shop, etc. Maybe they got locked up for longer term parking, but here in the states I have had a bike stolen while I was still within 15 feet of it.

I'm glad this is finally being taken more seriously. I think machine learning is doomed to hit a plateau until we switch over to something like an oscillatory neural net. We already know that human visual perception works somewhat like a fourier transform optimized for projection from 3d to 2d [1,2]. There's evidence that consciousness itself happens at 40hz [3]. It is already known that from signal feedback loops you can get complex behavior like fractals [4] and perform sophisticated analysis like autocorrelation [5]. In the old days before computers we knew how to rig simple analog circuitry to do seemingly complex tasks like target seeking missiles [6]. Analog signals also solve the problem of connectivity in your neural network. It is known that certain neuron structures can act like band pass filters, which means the same neuron pathways can be used to send different signals just like old fashion telephones used frequency multiplexing [7]. Analog models of the brain give you wave superposition for free, so concepts that are composed of two or more simpler concepts emerge for free as a beat frequency with no additional training!

I postulate the set of tasks which are still human-easy, machine-hard have elegant solutions in analog signal processing. The reason they seem hard to solve is because we've been using the wrong tools and compensating with brute force (loads of training data and compute time). Its like taking a hammer to a screw. It sort of works on the small screws, but until someone notices the screwdriver we can only get so far.

Considering I get fire-bombed by recruiters who don't even consider my geographic location, skills or stated desires, and who also can't be bothered to even acknowledge me when I respond like you suggest, I'd say don't waste your time. The vast majority of recruiters only want something from you and treat you like garbage once they're not going to get it. The profession's abysmal reputation is well deserved.
Wow that's what I was gonna write. I did engineering too, and all of the topics listed in the course. But something about doing it to apply to other things is wrong, hard to say what. I remember in high school being quite fascinated by certain beautiful things in maths, and the applied stuff just isn't the same. I guess it just seems like tools. All the theorems are just kinda unsurprising, as far as I recall. Things like Stokes Theorem are kinda foreshadowed as you're doing your reading. Or various statements of continuity (DivGradCurl).

Luckily he left a link for the pure maths course.

Good point, and the NSO example from OP is definitely extreme. But it rings alarm bells for me. It is year 2025 and there are distinct and two separate job markets. One cannot cross the line because your resume reflects your political choice.

This kind of dystopia sucks and I am gonna push back as much as I can. OP's tone was definitely about activism and I can't stand behind it at all.

Also ammunitions producers have no idea where the ammunitions are used. It could be for saving lives in a hostage situation or assassination. Don't blame Intel for making processors that are then mounted on missiles that kill people. This is exactly what's wrong with illiberal ideology.
The real problem is that Google/Chrome basically run the internet. If Google decides to change some internet standard, Firefox and web developers all follow suite like lemmings. It's like Google has become the authoritative leader in web without any sort of process or watchdog. Aside from getting people off of Chrome, the other need is to get people to stop following Google's leadership on all things web.
Absolutely. I was being a bit dramatic, but if this is something one is willing to do then by all means.
The first time I tried Scala, I got a type error based on the result of an implicit conversion, which succeeded locally but not for the entire expression. It took me a while to figure out what had happened. Advanced (mis) features such as this combined with encoding everything into objects with subtyping make Scala very complex. F# and OCaml are examples of much simpler languages that have most of the advantages (albeit no JVM).
Let's pretend there is no financial interest in restricting computer access. I think the best and safest option would be to manufacture all PCs with a similar mechanism to chromebooks write protect screw that you have to remove to unlock the bootloader. But instead of just unlocking the bootloader it also gives you TrustedInstaller privilege in windows.
Well that might be one way to _accelerate_ your dev process.

An ideal market is both competitive and free, but the former is not a component of (and is often, outside of abstract ideals, in tension with) the latter.

There are very many things I never would have discovered and learned if IETF RFCs were not free. The most useful knowledge I've acquired about building things on the internet came from there.

Industries that are more reliant on ISO or other non-free standards are surely worse off because of it.
VS Code has integrated builds, testing, and debugging. I would argue that, by any sensible definition of IDE, it's an IDE.

Spotify launched in the US in July 2011, that is well into the smartphone era. By then the iPhone 3g had been out for about 2 years.
> The ISO governance should be changed ASAP. It was never good, and nowadays it's a disaster.

ISO was founded in 1947, and back then very many of its standards were about physical objects – pipe threads, screws, bearings, belts, film, steel, plastic, rubber, textiles, etc – and even today they still have many standards on those kinds of topics. Imagine you are an aerospace engineer in the 1970s, and you need a copy of the new standard ISO 46:1973 (Aircraft — Fuel nozzle grounding plugs and sockets) – if nobody at your work has a copy, you just order it and pay for it with the company's money (expense it, get your boss to sign the purchase order, whatever). Nobody would have a problem with that and you wouldn't think there was anything inappropriate about it either, it would just seem totally normal to anybody in the 1970s.

The problem is that technology and culture have changed and ISO hasn't kept up – especially for software-related standards. We are an industry in which there are lots of independent contractors and self-employed people and small businesses, it is easy to be self-taught, in which multi-billion dollar companies will charge millions for software packages and then include in their code some open source library that someone maintains as an unpaid hobby, in which many employers baulk at paying for things which in prior decades employers would have just paid for without question. The culture has changed from one in which people are used to paying money for physical books in person or via mail order, to one in which they expect to get information from the Internet instantaneously and for free.

And it is probably mostly in software that people complain about this. I could be wrong, but I would guess that for aerospace engineers it is no more an issue today than in the 1970s. Even if ISO were to charge a few hundred dollars for a standards document, it would still be a lot cheaper than most things aerospace engineers deal with, and your employer will pay for it, who cares. At big firms such as Airbus or Boeing, they probably have some kind of subscription so their engineers just get access to all new ISO standards automatically.

It is much easier to ride a bike than to walk in the heat. Because you create your own wind.

If I stay at home and walk around I have troubles breathing when it's over 35°C, I have been several times on the verge of fainting when it lasts a bit too long over that temperature.

But I don't have a problem biking at that temperature or above. I've ridden for hours in temperatures near 40°C with no shade. As long as I get plenty of air, it's OK: it lowers the temperatures and I can breath. I mean, I prefer if it is 15°C lower :-), but it feels much better than walking.

Now in such circumstances you'd better not get caught in a climb, when your speed drop under say, 8 mph, because then you don't get any wind, while being on max effort. That's horrible. It happened to me once in a small mountain pass, on a road which looked like it had been painted black to make things worse. I had to climb down the sharp slope on the road side as I could, to find the shade of the few bushes which were around and stay there a few minutes, because I felt my temperature was rising way too much. Never again.
No, Steam puts stuff like steam cloud in the programfiles dir as well. It's totally under their control where it goes.
Makes total sense. You're unlikely to use Linux if you're not something of a power user, at least. I would guess there's a lot more developer type people who use Linux, and they are the people who appreciate a good bug report.

Same people also have a better idea of what might be causing the bug, how to get more information, logs, and so on.
This seems like an even worse arrangement than working from an office.

Most tech jobs demand time, focus and a strong wifi connection. Good luck doing that from the jungles of Brazil.
OP was not saying that 38% of the bugs are Linux-specific, he was saying that Linux users report many more bugs per capita than windows users (and he sees that as a good thing).
I've been floating that sometimes, just to gauge interest. I tell them that I'd be willing to change if a 4-day work week would be offered, at least covering my current salary.

Java bytes are signed. They aren't useful when working with unsigned 8-bit values (say, a scaling factor or an index in whatever binary format you are trying to parse). You need a larger integer type, and indeed that bitwise and operation to get the range of values you need.

I liked Java 1.4. Generics were a mess. And Java before generics was so wonderfully simple. Yes, you had to cast, but that wasn’t a big issue.

My favourite language would be Java 1.4 with carefully redesigned standard library (because old standard library was not very nice).

No, just curious. I think it’s useful to remember when a hypothesis is not verifiable or refutable. Raising that question does not necessarily invalidate the hypothesis, in my opinion.

An alternative hypothesis doesn’t have to imply something special, but it could e.g. raise a possibility that matter is a map rather than the territory. But yes, so far also not refutable as far as I know.

This just makes me hate interviews even more. Why ask questions that are supposed to be looked up anyway, or once used, are known? I mean, certainly if you saw a new feature being used in a codebase at that workplace then you would be able to use it, too.

I probably would not be able to answer it with regarding to Kotlin, for example, but I would certainly be able to notice (or at the very least look it up), understand, and use. Would it make me fail the interview?
