If you are planning on interviewing at other companies then the answer is an astonishing YES.

I have discovered this myself in recent interviews. If you are a front end developer expect to know React and expect to be interviewed by a supposedly senior developer who hasn’t touched anything in the front end outside of React.

This is so prevalent (and I have no interest in React or other frameworks) that now I immediately attempt to disqualify myself from any position brought to me by mentioning I will not interview with React. This has saved me a lot of time and disappointment.

Strangely I have also observed tremendous interest in TypeScript at just about everywhere, but TypeScript experience is irrelevant if the company is not already actively writing code in it. If a company mentions anything TypeScript keep this mind so that they aren’t wasting your time.

Interesting that younger generation is willing to go for the shots, according to my impression danger curve for the shots compared to covid is vaccines better for elderly, and worse for young. Not to mention all the unknown health implications for the future if spike protein can increase chances of cancer or similar.

I wonder if older gen has seen enough to not take everything at face value.
It such a question exists, surely it is the exception that proves the rule.
I see this as the opposite and find it adds quite a load of complexity and prevent to do some form of optimization in an app that has its own server.

It adds its load of complexity on how to run the apps itself, you need an external server, apps often requiring some customization of the server that will run it (either mod-php or php-fpm). It means that parts of our app settings lives outside of the app, it also make updating php itself quite annoying.

The problem with many low-code platforms is three fold:

- many over-promise and under deliver. Low code platforms are great for simple CRUD apps, defined automations, etc.

- some, like Bubble, are anti-code to their own detriment - code is good, your platform was created with code

- only a few, like Budibase [1], Tooljet [2], n8n [3] are open source. I cannot understand how users are willing to bet their data and processes on closed source tooling

I'm in this situation:

- I want to start blogging

- I don't want to blog if I won't get any feedback on what people like to read

- I don't want to admin / moderate comments because it sounds like work

- I could rely on Reddit / HN threads, but that means I don't get comment threads until I reach a critical mass of popularity. Faster Than Lime will reach the front page every time, but I won't be putting in his level of effort, so I'll get buried in a couple hours if it even gets shared.

I don't even want a community, I just want someone to say, "Hey that's kinda neat". Maybe what I need is self-hosted Medium kudos?
I'm more of the opinion that if you're sharing something, especially in a blog, then you should never add a comment section. People don't comment unless they have a point that they want to put across, which in 99% of the cases will be something negative. Just look at HN and (ugh) Twitter -- almost every discussion revolves around people trying to find things to complain about.

I instead share a contact e-mail. This works as a good deterrent to filter the pointless complainers, while still allowing those who truly need to contact me to have a way to do so.

EDIT: Just might need to clarify that I don't mean that HN is overwhelmingly negative, just that the comments usually revolve about nitpicking terms and concepts which would fall into the concept of something "negative".
no the SM is a quantum field theory: particles are excitations of quantum fields, so wave-particle duality is implicit. these fields, at the classical level are function that take a space time coordinate as an argument (space time filling) and typically yields a vector in some vector space (except the higgs field which is a scalar). this vector space in turn is a representation of some symmetry group. the symmetry group of SM is U(1)xSU(2)xSU(3).

I hate to say this, but even as an old IRC diehard, I have to admit I gave up a year ago or so.

The new IRC is Matrix, or at least for now. For me at least, it fullfills the same needs:

- deploy your choice of server-software on your preferred server.

- use your preferred client to connect to your preferred server.

- allow communities to manage themselves in a decentralized manner, without any San Fransisco-based big-tech company imposing their CoC, ToS or view of "diversity" upon them.

And it does so in a way which is mobile-friendly and supports all the "modern" additions to IM which normal people have come to expect. I can't see how IRCv3, if it ever lands, can compete with this. It's years (decades?) behind at this point.

And if it lands a spec which is equally capable as Matrix, how can it ever be compatible with "the old IRC"? Myself, I'm still running my IRC network and servers, but they are bridged to Matrix and I encourage the community to move there too. And thus ends my interest in IRCv3.

All in all, this seems like a lot of spec-work going into a what is surely going to be a doomed venture.

Deploying to production in less than 5m with a hosted container builder

Author here!

We're pretty keen on fast CI times, from the developer happiness angle to agility when you want to roll-forward a bad deploy.

Our ideal is less than 5m from merge to production, and were unhappy when our pipeline became >10m.

It turned out that CircleCI's docker layer caching feature had interacted badly with us hiring more devs (and consequently, shipping more frequently!) so we hosted our own single purpose container builder to get our builds back on track.

The article goes into a bit of detail around Docker layer caching and how this works in Circle. Hope you find it interesting!
I imagine the reason is that the max load on a single server is O(log log number of servers), but it’s not possible for all the servers to be at max load.

For instance, imagine load balancing via random assignment. The theoretical max load of a server is receiving every request, but if one server receives more requests, then the other servers receive less.
I came here to post what you say not to, and was informed by your comment. Serious question though: what _should_ one say or do to help those who may be suicidal, both in the public and personal?

The invention of the microphone is responsible for that. Before the microphone, singers had to be loud to be heard over the instruments and audience. With the invention of the microphone, it was possible to sing in a much quieter voice and still get heard. Singers who took advantage of this to sing in a quieter and more intimate style was called "crooners". The style became very popular when radio became mainstream.

Of course a lot of people hated the style (as always when something new came along) and thought is effeminate and ridiculous compared to the manliness of a trained opera singer like Enrico Caruso.
Nvidia's Quarterly Revenue Hits All-Time High of $7.1B
I understand that we are not used to factor in psychology when it comes to software development and that this argument may seem contrived but I'm speaking from my own professional experience when I say that I've observed both in myself and others that learning to use dynamically typed languages correctly has had a significant positive impact on the general code style. I've gone back and forth between the two paradigms multiple times. It forces developers to pay more attention to software design and structure or else it becomes overwhelming. The fact that code becomes overwhelming more quickly with dynamically typed languages is a positive thing. It's an effective deterrent against complexity and incorrect abstractions.

Indeed, and that would make the code machine-dependent too. On top of that, BLASFEO is already used for the most computationally intensive operations (e.g. matrix-matrix operations and factorizations, involving O(n^3) flops on O(n^2) data) providing high performance and low overhead, and the other operations on vector and matrices are anyway usually memory bounded and would see little to no benefit from directly using the assembly language.
I have an unfinished side project called Documentation Page:

https://documentation.page/

It's "unfinished" because I'd need to integrate payments and do all the accounting on my side (non-trivial as an individual living in Japan), but otherwise it's worked pretty well for my own projects.

It parses your Github Repo to generate the website. You can define your docs as a single readme.md file, a folder called "documentation", or custom configuration otherwise. Some examples hosted by Documentation Page:

- https://statux.dev/: simple single-page docs and website, menu config in https://github.com/franciscop/statux/blob/master/documentati....

- https://react-test.dev/: split into multiple pages, you specify the folder and it'll automatically merge the markdown files. See config https://github.com/franciscop/react-test/blob/master/documen...

- https://crossroad.page/: has an landing page, but that is not officially supported (yet). See the configs in https://github.com/franciscop/crossroad/blob/master/document...
That's probably for the better.

It has the benefits of the open source (you can inspect, and modify the code, exists forever, etc), without the downsides (design by commitee - sorry, community -, endless bikeshedding, code churn for the sake of it).

> They could predict with a probability of around 90 percent that individual patients would later become seriously ill or die from the Covid-19 infection. The prediction of a less severe course was somewhat less precise. That is, in individual cases, a predicted severe course did not become evident.

I wonder if this would correlate with date of infection vs date of testing. As in, a high expression of hFwe-Lose in the first N days after infection is a reliable indicator, but if the testing is done at a later stage, the baseline hFwe-Lose expression is higher in all patients and therefore no longer an adequate predictor. I wonder if there is a second biomarker that can provide an indication how long the infection has been progressing, and if they could correlate those two biomarkers?

The linked paper (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29263350) doesn't seem to mention this at all, perhaps because it's impossible to determine. Looking at the sensitivity-vs-selectivity charts, it may simply be that this biomarker by itself casts too wide a net.
Maybe a more compact heap? If the C heap does more bookkeeping or sentinels, then there would be a bit of overhead.

We use GitBook at Garden (docs.garden.io).

It's zero effort which is important for a small team like ours. Allows us to focus on the content as opposed to bikeshedding design.

Overall I'm happy with the look and feel of things and the support is typically good.

That being said, they recently shipped changes that essentially made the docs site impossibly slow for a few days. They've been working on fixing that and it's better, but not as snappy as before. I also preferred the previous look (it's very similar but the new one is a bit more clunky imo).

We do have a lot of long code examples (YAML reference docs) which I think may contribute to the "sluggishness".

But overall I'd recommend if you want to minimise effort and maintenance. In any case it's easy to give it a spin and see if it works for you.

> - use your preferred client to connect to your preferred server.

I want to like Matrix, but this is currently the most painful point, for me. There are very few mature clients, so they don't serve as many niches or specific tastes as IRC clients.

> I can't see how IRCv3, if it ever lands, can compete with this. It's years (decades?) behind at this point.

Not sure what you mean by "landing". Many specs are already implemented, deployed, and used in the wild.

> And if it lands a spec which is equally capable as Matrix, how can it ever be compatible with "the old IRC"?

Every IRCv3 spec is designed with backward compatibility in mind, so old clients are not left behind, they just don't benefit from the new features. The main mechanism for this is a capability negotiation when clients connect.

I completely agree that being able to navigate an ecosystem's complexity is a skill.

I didn't mean to imply that other languages don't have complexities. All ecosystems come with their own boons and complexity issues (hidden or upfront). The thing I wanted to address is the general idea of "PHP is the simplest to develop in, it's just uploading a file" (paraphrasing) shouldn't be taken at face value, and that's why I pointed out some of the complexities when working with PHP that PHP developers tend to forget (or some ignore).

But, because PHP is so easy to get started with, a lot of the complexity initially gets hidden away, and sometimes people learn about it the hard way.

JavaScript used to be much the same, but it has gotten better in the recent years. Maybe PHP has gotten better in this aspect too, but I could be ignorant because I've not been keeping up with PHP as much
I love a nitpick, thanks for the impromptu history lesson. I really need to read up more on the Hansa period.
A lot of people 10+ years ago were building websites by interpreting PHP and using the output as HTML. The language (at the time) seemed to encourage this. I agree that PHP is not a framework, but it seemed to have some opinion on how HTML was to be generated, which most languages don’t have. Also rails is 7 years older than Laravel, so my point still stands that PHP was behind the curve.
Please, do not do that. Use an actual templating language which automatically escapes output.
