Oh, so that’s where LYAH came from! I read it when I was first learning Haskell, and I recall being somewhat puzzled by the style. More recently, I know someone who stopped reading it in large part because of the style — it seems to have gone out of vogue now.
Perhaps it used to, but today `wrangler preview` previews your worker in the cloud using the "preview service", and `wrangler dev` uses a private tunnel to an edge node to serve local development requests [0]. Neither of them use Node.

> wrangler dev is a command that establishes a connection between localhost and an edge server that operates your Worker in development. A cloudflared tunnel forwards all requests to the edge server, which continuously updates as your Worker code changes. This allows full access to Workers KV, Durable Objects, etc. This is a great way to easily test your Worker while developing.

I like to start with live coding exercises, think Exercism[0] or Codewars[1], to get a good sense of the syntax and utilities and then do an actual project with real documentation on the side.

Tutorials just don't cut it for me, they never have. It's just a grueling format and it does nothing but put me off the tech I'm looking at.

That seems like another symptom of the same problem.
Apple locked me into their ecosystem...but that is their right, after all it is their platform.
Apple sold me faulty hardware/software but I have to buy more Apple products (new hardware, support) since I am locked in and cannot do my work on non-Apple hardware.
Their behavior may not be illegal (IANAL) but I find it quite user hostile.
The main problem I see with all this is that since Apple is getting away with it, more and more companies are trying the same tactics and normalizing user lock-in and charging extra to fix faulty hardware and software.

It was pretty obvious to me these algos are busted when an agent mispriced a house in our neighborhood at $600,000,000 (instead of just $6M) and the "estimate" was something like $604,082,000
This is one of those things where the average dietitian disagrees, but anecdotes prove otherwise.
This seems equivalent to Netflix policy of paying people at the top of their personal market rate. (Someone who's worked there can no doubt give better insight into how it works in practice). The difference I see is that Netflix e.g. could do some market research to get the realistic market range for a person and then pay them the top rate. In your case, you are asking them to explicitly demonstrate a rate, by getting an offer. It seems more efficient to go the Netflix route and pay for some good compensation info, rather than making folks go through the process themselves (and no doubt be more likely to take the offers having been courted for a new role). If this is just about comp, better to just keep folks appropriately paid.

That's totally subjective. What someone may perceive as "turning the screw" could simply mean "probing deeper" or "seeing how you handle tough questions". One can get self righteous about that but it may be costing you tens/hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost earnings.
Peter Thiel almost certainly didn’t invent this.

As a reasonable starting point, the "top 1%" wouldn't be the companies that sell products that most people need (like cars and electricity), it would be the consumers that use vastly more resources than the average consumer.

So, for example, if the average person flies N miles per year, then add an extra tax to the people who fly 10xN miles. If the average person uses N joules of gas to heat their home, then add an extra tax to the people who use 10xN joules.

However, there are going to be cases where it makes sense to tax cheap-but-polluting products to give a dividend to help people buy more-expensive but less-polluting products, even if that means that prices go up slightly. That's just capturing the externalities of the polluting products, though.
Yes, but really simple. It can get progressively worse though. Like:
1. Make a loop which counts and prints up to N
2. Now make it run in a thread
3. Now make another thread which only prints once this var hits modulo X == 0
etc
It's hard to tell because we don't seem to have any institutions private of public who will investigate things anymore. For instance someone could email the people who's names are on the paper and ask.

But a good guess would be the people who's names are on the paper paid someone to get them published papers.

The person paid, outsourced it to different people, also paid.

That's one possibility.

Researchers often get paid for published work. Is it an academic getting a yearly bonus or a student needing to just pass their degree and moving on? This is two very different things.

How were they generated, was it translation software, Markov Chains, GPT.

The researchers were not in Geosciences, this is why the starkly different topics. Mashing the researchers field and Geosciences.

But this makes it worse, it needs to be basket ball and Geosciences to get caught?
I love the concept of this entire site - writing about things and revisiting them and linking them. Lots of great stuff to read here and an inspiration to write more.
A complementary alternative I'd suggest is beets[1], a front-end agnostic CLI tagging utility that also matches your files against the MusicBrainz database and can both correct the ID3 tags and maintain a directory hierarchy based on those tags.

The biggest shortcoming of the MusicBrainz database I've found so far, however, is genre tags. Most releases seem to have only one or a handful of genres listed with no consistent genre hierarchy convention, but I've been experimenting with an extensions that pulls genre tags from discogs.

Wrong, things do not become harder when require() is nested somewhere. It may not get called in node, but any bundler looks at it as required-to-be-bundled-anyway. The only case when it’s hard is when require() accepts a non-literal, and that’s symmetric to import(). No extra cases.

The programmer is discouraged to use dynamic requires/imports by the common sense, because that makes their app/lib incompatible with most of the cross-end usage. But then we have server-side only packages like pg or express where it doesn’t matter, because browsers provide no runtime (tcp/listen) for them to function and will never do.
I sometimes wonder to myself: what programming challenges would come up in something like the starship Enterprise (any of them) and what new language constructs (if any) would be required to address them?

Back in the days OS X was a dumpster fire in terms of overall reliability until the very late releases of every major version. Some versions like Lion had pure crashes until the end.

Even looking a few years before, we had the root user password bug and other pretty severe issues way worse than what we’re seeing now.
Sure. How many tags are in your system?

The number of tags should be more or less similar to the number of non-leaf nodes in a hierarchy, or else you aren't capturing the same information. Any tag that applies to more than half of the files is probably useless. On my blog, the tags "blog" and "technology" are definitely useless. That's fewer than 250 entries and already it has cruft.

Were people consistent when they added tags? Does your system suggest tags automatically? Is this actually a full-text search minus stop words? Is there a librarian who cleans up after you and merges tags that have the same meanings? Would the full-text search be more useful than tags?
I think the article describes the solution that was used and not necessarily the best solution. If they made the “obvious” mistake in the first case they mightn’t arrive at the best solution in the second. Adding the single index and using the four tables have the same worst case complexity for reads, O(log n), with different constants and massively beat scanning at O(n).

It may be that the second solution wasn’t the best, or that it was better for write performance or memory usage—this was 2002 after all. It may also be the case that the cardinal it’s of some columns was low in such a way that the four table solution was better, but maybe getting the columns in the right order for a multi column index could do that too.

Either way, I don’t think it really matters that much and doesn’t affect the point of the article.
My current setup is: Documents, owncloud, Downloads, Dev, Media and tmp. No desktop. At work I have an additional git folder.
That might be true if you just take blanket advice. The key is to find out why say StringBuilder is better than String.Concat. If you understand the implementation details and tradeoffs involved, this makes the knowledge much more applicable in the future. The core concepts in technology do not move nearly as fast as individual projects, libraries, frameworks, languages, etc...
Kind of disagree, I haven't really needed to learn much about business other than what I picked up in a couple of business papers at uni, there just isn't much to learn about business systems as far as building software is concerned.

Any good degree should be covering all the software lifecycle stuff and general information systems as a concept.

I guess there are definitely people out there that have no interest in the business side of things but I think theyre outliers.

But now that I think about it maybe I'm wrong, I know a lot of business product people and even other developers just assume I don't know anything about business. At least that's what's happened now working for an American company. Working for Aussie companies it's just assumed that were sort of business analysts as well.

Well, yes any system is going to have multiple actors, and you can, if you want, say where the "real" work is being done. It is still the case that the record of NFC codes will be in an immutable database (the chain), which is much more than the current supply chain does.
You can handwave cycles created by symlinks away by ignoring them. Full traversal is possible relying only on the tree.

If all you have is the digraph you have to rely on cycle detection. Transforming it into a hierarchy of depth requires snipping edges somewhere.

I'm just gently disputing the claim that a digraph can be mapped 1:1 to a hierarchical filesystem. I'm open to being wrong.

I've said a variation of it, and it works exceptionally well if the other side is also mercenary.

A mercenary working for another mercenary can be a very educational experience, and I have found that it is far easier to work with other mercenaries because they can be focused and aligned quicker than people that need to be inspired.

Honestly, if I was a hiring manager, then I'd try to only hire mercenaries keeping things professional.

How to Build a Culture of Ownership
i’m not asking for advice on how to interview or how to improve, thanks. i am simply trying to figure out if there is a legal basis or not.
The cursor thing is frustrating. When it lags it makes me suspect someone has a hidden instance of VNC open watching my screen. Perhaps they do.
The point is mp3s and paid digital downloads specifically are not booming. Not many people seem interested in that version of ownership.
That's just bad UX of the tag browsers.
This is quite interesting. Will definitely play around with this!
I don't know that children advocates are really seeking justice. They are seeking the best outcome for the kids. They also don't do any real investigating or truth seeking.

"Review boards at every level who check up on accusations against lawyers/judges/etc.?"

Do they? Do they actually do anything? I have experiences with these and they were mind blowing if you come in thinking they're about justice. Don't forget, they keep these secret because they want to protect the system, even if it means sending an innocent person to prison (no requirement to turn over exculpatory evidence even if subpoenaed). The Bar won't even investigate misconduct by prosecutors unless the court has already declared that misconduct occurred.

I would really love to hear about one of the dozen or so boards or whatever that could help me right some past wrongs. Because I've gotten nowhere.

That's correct, and it has always worked that way. Wrangler has never used Node to run Workers. Miniflare is the tool that runs locally with Node.
>Better still, you won't need any new hardware, because it's repurposing something you already have but never use: your Scroll Lock key.

But I do use it. It's a great key for toggling screen recording, because it's right next to Print Screen and makes logical sense in terms of positioning. It also doesn't do anything useful, or didn't.

Obviously it's not a real problem, but you can't really assume people don't work buttons into their workflow that aren't normally used.

It depends on the subject matter for me. Live-LaTeXing works pretty well for me until matrices get involved. Just fractions, equations, and summations are fairly easy though.
I'm uncomfortable with this sort of confounding a character with the person behind it. If an author says they're not writing any more books about X, that doesn't mean that suicide (or murder) has taken place. It just means we won't see anything more from that author using that character unless they change their mind.

My concern is for the person behind it. I hope they're well and are doing something they find more satisfying and less stressful!

Snow Leopard was as solid as OSX ever got in my estimation. Man I miss those days. Snow Leopard's primary goal was just to harden Leopard and not really have too many new features. Apple really needs to bring that kind of thinking back. I'm happy to see their hardware is back on track, now if they could just get the software to do a U turn...

> I use Linux

Good God, I should hope so.

> They could easily contribute to another project or fork, and if DE don’t matter they don’t have to make one either.

That's what they were doing before, and it didn't work. Pop!OS ships with an opinionated desktop called "Cosmic", which is based on GNOME and makes several breaking changes to customize the desktop for their specific use case. With GNOME 40, those customizations are no longer possible/sane, so they're deciding to write a new desktop to end their dependency on GNOME. I frankly dislike the current ownership of GNOME, but I also think they're just as bad as Microsoft and Apple (though that's a discussion for a different time and place).

In any case, writing a DE isn't hard work these days. They can still bundle other software to complete the experience the same way Microsoft and Apple do, and they can even steal system components like the GNOME Settings manager wholecloth. They're transitioning from a bloated set of patches to a much smaller, faster codebase. I fail to see how this is a downgrade.

> More DE is not the solution

Well, neither is less DE. GNOME has already tried that, by pretending like other desktops don't matter and introducing asinine, breaking changes that completely destroy the workflow of it's users and developers. Care to guess how that turned out? Recent GNOME releases are both unstable and feature-incomplete, with gaping security flaws and only a modicum of functionality to show for it.

> So you changed your mind that that package managers don’t matter. Either they don’t matter and you build from source or they do and you want one with binaries. Which is it?

You're driving a false equivalency. On my distro (and most distros marketed towards new users), you can just use your built-in software manager to grab the package from official repos. In just about every distribution I've ever used, there was a GUI that allowed you to interface with your package manager, no command line required.

TL:DR - Linux has a lot of problems, but fragmentation is not one of them, nor can it ever be fixed. You should look into how SystemD tried to 'fix' this issue, and only ended up bastardizing the Unix philosophy while degrading the experience across the board.
Fair enough. My Intel Mac gets about a 5x performance penalty doing Webpack builds in Docker versus natively. My coworkers using M1 Macs report similar numbers. What workflows are you seeing M1 Macs getting 6x worse Docker performance than Intel Macs?
