I think I get it, that there's "thrill of the chase" element that you don't get with paid encounters. There is definitely a difference, but there is still some element of searching for and finding something you're interested in.

And that aside, do you not like going to a restaurant because you knew you could as soon as you earned the money to buy the meal? Maybe it's not the same as eating a fish you caught yourself, but it's still enjoyable isnt it?
Once upon a time, even having a skyscraper at was "cool" and stood out. Now I'm sure you laud those early buildings as "timeless".

Once upon a time, that all-glass skyscraper was "cool" and stood out, even among the other skyscrapers. Now, we don't blink twice at such towers being stood up.

My point being that architecture as a field and as an art form both progress forward in society. Right now buildings like the MahaNakhon stand out. In the future, they may just be the first instances of the next "timeless" trend.

Also, there's plenty of beauty to find in the MahaNakhon, especially at night... And I'll talk for myself in saying that I find beauty in the execution of technological prowess. The same way I see beauty in well-laid masonry or tile design. They're just using different material.
I think that camping should be legitimized and allowed.

For example, I saw in LA camping areas being cleaned by city workers peacefully (with a token police car watching over) and it seemed like a nice middle ground.

In my experience, these tools have another - counter intuitive and often overlooked - strength. Their limitations.

You want to handle this very specific edge case? With code, there is certainly a way to do this. It may take days, it may add unreasonable complexity. Nevertheless, someone (yourself?) will ask that this kinda insignificant edge case is properly handled. And won’t take no for an answer.

With a (too) limited « no code » tool, maybe there really is no way to handle the edge case (or it would require code in a context that forbids it). Management (or yourself!) has no way to make someone fix this, and can just give up.
Soon enough, there is no problem. Finally, you can live with the unhandled edge case! Ok, you’ll just brief users. Ok they’ll learn by themselves that they shouldn’t do this.

So sometimes, « no code » tools can’t solve a problem. Then the problem simply disappear. It helps with finding a 80-20, something good enough. Everyone can be focused on more important stuff.
It certainly has the potential to result in a dystopia, but it could also become a utopia.

Today, in the USA, corporations are incredibly powerful, surveillance technology is growing faster than legal frameworks or consumers can keep up with, and there's little expectation of or coordinated resistance from uninformed, irrational, impotent consumers or effective regulation from our partisan and captive governmental agencies. That hasn't always been true - at other times, colonial governments, monarchies, feudal leaders, tribal leaders, or religious leaders have held power. It probably won't be true in perpetuity.

The trick is to make sure that we only open Pandora's Box of brain-computer interfaces (or better and also more frighteningly, full-brain upload and emulation) technology when society is ready...

Edit: I'm reminded of qntm's excellent short story "Lena" at https://qntm.org/mmacevedo - about "the earliest executable image of a human brain". I won't spoil it, other than to say that it's something of a horror story, depending on your worldview and the depth of your imagination.
Yes, SROs are great and it's extremely difficult to build new ones even where they're zoning compliant. We need a lot more of them.
I think this particular paradigm shift happens every 15 to 20 years :)

Even in the event of a perfect “no code” era, i.e. a future where we speak to the computer and tell it what we want it to do, we’d still have programmers. They just would be doing the job very differently. Maybe we wouldn’t even call them programmers at that point. But the job would be there.

Complexity will never go away and you’ll always need someone to manage it. That’s life, that’s reality.

You finally provided some "evidence" and it literally says the opposite of what you're suggesting. I would highly encourage you to keep reading the subsequent pages on that site, because it goes on to explain the reasons why you're wrong.

> No, it doesn't. It's the same.

This statement is the entire premise of your argument, but is directly refuted by the source you provided, and is so ridiculously absurd that I can't take you seriously anymore. You have to be trolling.

It makes more sense if you think of the index as a structure meant specifically to speed up `git status` operations. (It was originally called the "dircache"! See https://github.com/git/git/commit/5adf317b31729707fad4967c1a...) We desperately want to reduce the number of file accesses we have to make, so directly using the object database and a tree object (or similar structures) would more than double file accesses.

There's performance-related metadata in the index which isn't in tree objects. For example, the modified-time of a given file exists in its index entry, which can be used to avoid reading the file from disk if it seems to be unmodified. If you have to do a disk lookup to decide whether to read a file from disk, then the overhead is potentially as much as the operation itself.

There's also semantic metadata, such as which stage the file is in (for merge conflict resolution).

It's worth noting that you can turn on the cache tree extension (https://git-scm.com/docs/index-format#_cache_tree) in order to speed up commit operations. It doesn't replace objects in the index with trees, but it does keep ranges of the index cached, if they're known to correspond to a tree.
> the reason they don't start companies is they don't have the savings to work on it for 6-12 months, and gamble on getting accepted into YC or another angel/accelerator. They don't have a safety net to fall back on if that fails.

Which is part of the reason for their compensation.

Did the first few factory workers and car design people at Ford become millionaires (in their equivalent dollars)? Probably not, but if you're the first engineer of a Twitter, Google, etc. it's not unreasonable to see your net worth to reach 7 figures, if not 8 figures. Early engineers are compensated just fine IMO, they are just taking a big gamble relative to the market (i.e. $500k annual salary at Google).

Github is a great platform for building apps that use its infrastructure, but not always for its intended purpose, this being a great example.

I've personally built a number of apps on top of Github Gist. One of my apps is a bookmark sharing application, the idea is you create a bookmark collection and share it with others, all seperate from your browsers bookmarks. I ended up using Github Gist and got the ability to share bookmark collections right out of the box with GistID's.

I built an app for bookmarks but you can really apply it to anything where you need to keep small amounts of data and that data doesn't need to be private (gist has a "Private" mode but it's similar to unlisted Youtube videos).
That's interesting, but doesn't actually answer my question.

At some point you do have to use it on an actual child, right?
> In addition, although it's clear that Miami Beach and Vegas have benefitted from cheap flights,

Yes, I am not saying that air travel created Miami Beach, but that Miami Beach benefits from it. This is the definition of an economic externality. We are counting the financial benefit or spillover of some technology, meaning the extra value-add created beyond the purchase of the plane ticket itself. For flight, it's huge.

Then there is a switch to a different argument:

> that doesn't mean that the net result for the country (let alone world) as a whole is positive.

This is not an economic argument. Perhaps a moral argument - it's not clear, as no details were provided. But speculating as to whether some value-add spillovers should or should not be present is not how we count externalities in a pigovian tax. It seems what you want is a sin tax for flight, which is not a pigovian tax.

In fact most people, when they use words like "externalities", actually want sin taxes. They are not trying to come up with some objective measure of economic value-add spillover effects. And that's fine -- we have lots of sin taxes in the world, but then advocacy for them should be honestly labelled as such.

> This sounds like an incredibly hand-wavy claim, and also easily refuted as a general rule. The easy (flight-based) import of foreign goods has, in many cases, led the complete decimation of various US manufacturing sectors.

Now is not the time to get into a debate about trade theory, but suffice it to say that I disagree. Trade is great. Deficits are not great. You can have lots of trade without trade deficits, and trade is welfare improving. If you want to stop trade deficits, then add a tax to net foreign capital flows, not cross border flows of goods and services. But on this point we just have to agree to disagree.
I would rather them take the time to get this right, than potentially launch new hardware that flops and slaps them in the face.
One could still adopt a scheme which would be robust against recompression much of the time. E.g. downsample the image to a specific bounding size (e.g. 360x360), drop the least significant bit or two of each pixel value. SHA256 the result.

This would be robust against a significant percentage of recompression pipelines, and yet would still maintain a clear guarantee against false positives: Unless SHA256 is successfully attacked, no one can find two images with the same hash unless their 360px/6-bit-per-color downsample is identical. (And small crops-- are they really that common?-- could be handled by adding them to the database. For significant crops the neuralhash won't be preserved in any case.)

I'm aware that attackers can make contrived images that look rather different when downsampling. But that is still a much much stronger promise than neuralhash could make since the downsample hack requires obviously contrived false positive images (unlike neuralhash false positive images).

Essentially neuralhash (and similar approaches) is the solution you get when you weigh maximally in favor of false positives to avoid false negatives. SHA256 the pixels (or the whole image files) is the solution you get when you favor false negatives to avoid false positives. You can hit many points in the middle.

Given that no scheme can be robust against intentional false negatives and that apple is happy to allow 30 hits before treating it as a match, I'd argue that the apple scheme (or similar) is just an objectively bad choice.
The key is used by the shadow Dom for update performance; the is no shadow Dom in svelte
Like I said to the child comment, I think we are aligned on value, I included subjective and emotional needs on this. I do think this distinction makes sense because the more something has value for you, the less elastic your personal price-demand curve becomes. And certain things we all have a demand-floor. And that's kind of the difference between price and value right? Value is the thing that's stays valuable and desirable even if it's not priced and can't be exchanged
I use a sloppy meld of Zettelkasten and PARA for this very reason. I used to get nervous about the subject ontology, and the link-to-anywhere aspect of ZK's tags fixed that for me.

I don't remember the second accident, but I still recall the first one. A small car (VW Bug) pulled out in front of him and he t-boned it. He jumped. It was in an otherwise open area, so he rolled. Banged up a bit, but he figured he ended up better than if he had stayed with the bike, which ended up embedded in the car (something about VW Bugs having not much in the front wheel area that was strong, and that's where the bike hit).

As I said, it could entirely have been chance that this worked out for the best. I'm not a rider myself, and my brother is not an expert just a rando like me who has had a fair amount of interesting experiences in his life (how he is still alive today, I'm not quite sure, but luck has to be the biggest factor).
I would think the incentive to make a bazillion dollars if you did this sucessfully would outweigh your purported frequently subconscious disincentive.

Plus there are other people in this comments thread saying they are working for companies that are (they claim) doing so. Not to mention all the past attempts to do so over the past 40 years. Is the idea that those companies are intentionally not doing it as well as they could, because of their allegience to not making the field of IT obsolete?

The idea that we collectively could easily be making software construction toolkits for non-programmers that would make "IT obsolete", it's an easy problem, but we just choose not to... is a conspiracy theory.

False. They didnt provide any evidence to support their claim, and given their claim is absolutely ridiculous and baseless, its ok to say: that's not going to happen. If they disagree, they can give some evidence and the conversation can move forward from there.

> The Rust version probably could be made to work at an equivalent speed with enough effort. But at a high level, Go was much more enjoyable to work with.

Wow. I always thought Go was a language for depressed (or depressing? :)) devs ;) . I mean, it's boring _by design_. On the other hand Rust is really a cool language, with many things that are designed cleverly, and really enjoyable to use. Well, to me, at least, as it seems some people like boring more :)

The definition of "mentally ill homeless" is surely nuanced and varied, by this archetype is certainly what a lot of people are going to think of when they hear the term. It's hard for me to imagine degradation is relevant to them.

While unreserved peak-time travel is absurdly expensive in the UK if you travel off-peak or book far enough in advance it's much less. I used to regularly travel between Manchester and London (about the same distance as Liverpool) and it was £200 peak / £60 off peak for walk up return fares. That was 10 years ago. Looking now it's gone up to £370 peak (!) / £95 off peak return.

While I did meet one person who regularly flew Manchester/London he lived very close to the airport so it wasn't too much extra hassle for him. It's only 200 miles / 2 hours on the train so the flights were mostly for connecting at Heathrow to international flights. Flights tended to be more popular London/Scotland where you're looking at 4 hours on the train.
Feels like a good move. How else could framework be developed than implementing some requirements. Vercel should provide lots of them.

I think CA has some laws to protect you in some cases, as may other states, but the sad part is that contracts, laws - all meaningless unless you have an attorney to take bad actors to court. Otherwise the laws that could protect you will be ignored.
Laws without enforcement are pointless. Sadly, the only way for the little guy to get Justice is to pay an attorney for that enforcement. So just be aware (and save money).
That said, if it’s entirely unrelated to your profession, I don’t see any court allowing a suit to proceed. That would likely be unenforceable and a waste of the courts time, and their general counsel should know that. It wouldn’t make sense for them to pursue you for music if it isn’t related to your field or company’s business.
See https://fullstackeconomics.com/how-luxury-apartment-building... for the empirical research refuting that point and agreeing with the basic supply-demand issue. The issue in Toronto is not just the anecdotal "new condo buildings" but how much housing Toronto has built per capita for the last several decades, which is almost certainly "too little."

VCs tend to have an easier time funding already-validated ideas: having an established competitor, or seeing other VCs fund similar companies. It's lazy, but they can afford to be lazy - if they miss their chance on your revolutionary tech and you somehow succeed, they'll fund the next startup that copies you.

The "optimal" level of pollution is not zero. While there may be exceptions to individuals, to society as a whole, the benefits of an activity may very outweigh the costs. This is true of every human endeavor. There are always costs. The question is whether they are worth it.
I assume because there's no value to it. What's the opposite side of the argument? You have an area with a lot of growth and many problems with the way we're solving these problems and something like svelte is not"completely reinventing the wheel" as the OP positions it, by nature it's try to solve specific problems using our existing tooling whenever possible.
