Thank you for showing me this list. I had a peek at a few items and it seemed really comprehensive.

It is frustrating to argue whether "Event Sourcing" is good or bad if we have different definitions of what it is, but I don't know of a better name for the thing that I think is good, so it is helpful to point at a body like this to say this is what I mean.

For a long time, I thought about mailing lists: Back in the 1990s we had mailing list applications that you would send email to and they would do various things based on the subject line or the recipient (To) address or something like that, and so you would "join the stream" (subscribe to the list) with one email, and "leave the stream" (unsubscribe) with another; You could publish a new message (it just had to fit in an RFC821 datagram) and processing would both distribute those messages and build "views" of that data in archives accessible out-of-band (such as on the web or in gopherspace). Sequencing messages could be done by simply refusing (tempfail) messages received out of order, and persistent errors would be surfaced (eventually) in the form of an NDR which could itself have a process running on those messages.

I think it is a small thing to imagine a lower-latency email queue, changing the datagram or to manipulate the log (queue) independent of normal processing (such as removing PII -- or in our case, spam messages!) and to create other "processors" for messages for administrative tasks (like setting up customer accounts, or shutting them off for non-payment!) with a little bit of shell scripting, that if you had this kind of experience, most of what constitutes "Event Sourcing" probably doesn't seem very hard, and if you haven't had this kind of experience, that these things may dominate the design (e.g. Confluent+anything) and lead unfairly to a bad impression about "Event Sourcing"

That's not to say I don't think there are hard parts to these kinds of architectures, just that I think those hard parts are usually worth it.
Designing for the Subliminal Brain – ICAA Talk, Dec 3
I've used Dvorak for over 15 years.

I keep Qwerty on my phone, since the advantages of Dvorak are disadvantages on a phone keyboard -- I want the letters to be spread all over the place, so the swipe-to-type thing works.

Jobs differ, but I very rarely type more than a word on computer keyboards other than my own. If a colleague asks me to help with something, I almost always think it's more polite to ask them to type.
Not surprising. Here is the game now:

* Pick between high level and low level.

* Low level software appears far more stable and predictable in its hiring with a clearer set of expectations, but it also sets a higher barrier of entry. You can live here for the rest of your life carefully achieving satisfying challenges, but don’t expect any glamour.

* High level software is trend focused. The barrier of entry is low but then so are the expectations and so the work is more about using tools than actually engineering anything. Expect to be aged out of the job. If you aren’t chasing trends and toying with tools your career mobility will erode into nothing.

It didn’t use to be like this, even just a few years ago.
Ah, that's great news, thanks.
For me its the batting average of "do I find what I'm looking for before giving up". I don't think my queries have gotten more esoteric over time and yet I've been striking out more and more in the last 3 years. Maybe I should start a personal log and actually quantify this so I can post it here in 5 years.
The Next Austin? How About Arkansas. Seriously
A major reason to group companies together in a "hyperscale" company is to influence government regulation, which is where you can access real money and power.
I noticed that change recently and assumed it was motivated by Tesla. There are certain things we all take for granted when driving. A huge one that we probably don’t give much conscious thought to us this:

How do we know if the lane to the left is ok to go in, or if it actually is for carrying oncoming traffic?

You’d like to think that one way though not the only way, is to look for a double yellow line. As in, double yellows always separate opposing traffic so never cross them.

In CA though, double yellow was also chosen to separate the carpool lane as OP mentioned. So there was actually a really mundane case where driving to the left of a double yellow was actually fine. Seems very confusing to an autonomous car that’s operating at the mental-level of an 18mo old.
Have a budget.
Be patient.
Clearly communicate your vision for the game in writing.
Well, that's simply not true for the Atari 8-bit line (mostly compatible from 1979 right through to the XE series which continued right into the late 80s and even early 90s), the Apple II line (II, II+, IIe, IIc, IIgs, as well as cards that slotted into Macs), MSX and MSXII, and of course the 16-bit era with MS-DOS machines and Macintosh, Amiga and Atari ST lines.

Honestly, Commodore and Sinclair 8-bits are the outliers here? C-128 came quite late in the game.
You have the option of deleting and posting again I think. Anyways good luck.

Wikimedia search seems to work better for most searches I tried, possibly because of the manual tags etc.

You might want to include examples where your search is better or just a faq on how to use it.

Nice idea though. It does seem to come in handy when you don't have descriptions of images. Eg: https://github.com/haltakov/natural-language-image-search
I don’t follow this. All kinds of economic power exists outside of legal boundaries, on large and small scales. Everything from street prices for drugs to bribery demands at government levels.

Even laws designed curb market abuse through fines can be considered a cost of doing business rather than a disincentive, making it an economic tool for the perpetrators.

Are CEOs contractors?
> the "global-trade-as-a-machine" will pick that up and let you work on that rather than work as a farmer (one-leggedness and interest/drive as two new dimensions). (Although just as likely it will allow you to move to another country to pursue your interest.)

That's not really how immigration and economic opportunity works. Our one-legged farmer would have to be astonishingly lucky for that to happen.

> And of course governments have noticed the inequalities produced by this machine and are doing its best to counter that with more or less enthusiasm.

It's more like they are taking measures against other governments that gain strategic relevance based on these factors. One way to counter China's advantage with manufacturing cost would be to force China to adopt and enforce better labor laws and increase compensation.

In fact, having a single global standard for compensation and worker rights would be a wonderful thing. As long as it's good and includes progressive taxes on the accumularion of wealth and a mechanism to compensate for undue political power from wealth.
More wealth on average means Americans get poorer. Minimum wage, fourty hours a week puts you in the top 4% of wage earners globally.
once reagan took over, busted unions and fired those unionized air traffic controllers / workers. it was a free for all on american workers. if the president was able to do that, it signalled to corporations, that they're now the robber barons with free reign over workers. ever since then the american worker, has been a puppet. pay can only go so much, even then pay can't get ya kid into a good school, can't help ya ease anxiety over healthcare, shitty police or infrastructure.

now things in america will slowly correct, if employees / fmr employees can hold on to their new found power. but don't worry, a war is being fought in the background to strip workers of this new power. don't be surprised around mid-elections if new irs reporting laws are introduced, so the common man can be hemmed up for unpaid taxes on his new side hustles.
Hey, thanks! That does look a lot better. Still doesn't fix the layout, but at least it looks like Old Android instead of Windows 3.1... a big improvement!
Is the goal an academic career then?
You are hiring somebody who will be managing managers meaning they will probably have responsibility for at least dozens if not hundreds or even thousands of people.

As a manager/leader of that organisation they will have an important role that can mean difference between those hundreds of people bringing huge value or huge loss to the company.

So your responsibility is to figure out how much time to spend with the candidate. You can choose anywhere between "just hire first person to apply" and "spend a year grooming an employee to see if they can do the job".

And you want to tell me that 20 minutes is the right answer here? That out of entire continuum of possible choices you say that the optimal return (performance of manager) on investment (cost of conducting interviews) lands at approximately 20 minutes -- less time than you take to have a lunch?

I get that he had couple of these sessions but still... it sounds like giving the job to a first person that looks the part.
I do not agree too much with that part. The fact that there are compelling use cases at launch is independent of centralized/decentralized only depends on who's launching. Google Wave was a centralized platform and the use cases were a mess, and blogs with RSS were a decentralized platform with a pretty clear use case. I don't think the percentage of half-baked use cases is too different between centralized/distributed. It also conveniently forgets several issues:

- Building a decentralized platform is technically more complex than a centralized one. So it requires more developer resources for a feature that users don't care too much about. It's also harder to iterate, because you're spending much more time in building a design consensus for new features instead of just rolling it.

- Centralized platforms also have to work out the product-market fit between platform and developers. Mobile? Twitter apps (the Twitter API was a big reason that drove adoption at the beginning)? WP blogs?

- Decentralized platforms will have technical limitations and hurdles that will probably hurt user experience. For example, harder discovery, diverging features, delays, data consistency...

So when he says "The question of whether decentralized or centralized systems will win the next era of the internet reduces to who will build the most compelling products", that's true, but avoids mentioning the fact that, resources being equal, compelling decentralized systems will be considerably harder and slower to build. And this is not new, which is the point I made in my comment. Nothing about crypto changes these facts.
I think we need to wait for further details.

RPi has been structure as a for profit company owned by the charity for a long time. This IPO may result in a huge amount of money for that charity. It also doesn't say how much of a stake their selling. The charity may retain the majority share and so continue to have control along with a vast capital reserve to continue doing what they're doing plus a lot more.
Accounts on Twitter are not provably "people" and even the ones that are demonstrably a given personal identity are not necessarily or provably run and operated by that identity, exclusively. Thus, claiming any type of "canceling" of a "voice" or "identity" is a logical fallacy, given there is no proof of identity occurring on Twitter in any meaningful way.

This logic comes about because of bad assumptions about what a platform is, how it works at scale and how personal rights and liberties are mapped to Internet services, especially those of government. Promoting the idea of "cancel culture" among the population is definitely a thing and easily digested and accepted as a truth, even thought it's really not.
Loved this passage and its relevance to Product development in particular:

> I’d learned one very simple trick: say yes. Simply say yes. Like Joseph E. Levine, on “The Producers,” said, “The curly-haired guy—he’s funny looking. Fire him.” He wanted me to fire Gene Wilder. And I said, “Yes, he’s gone. I’m firing him.” I never did. But he forgot. After the screening of “Blazing Saddles,” the head of Warner Bros. threw me into the manager’s office, gave me a legal pad and a pencil, and gave me maybe twenty notes. He would have changed “Blazing Saddles” from a daring, funny, crazy picture to a stultified, dull, dusty old Western. He said, “No farting.” I said, “It’s out.”
As a species we communicate primarily via sound, typically visual cues are secondary.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I certainly would like to see more companies with a similar level of transparency, and which do a similar equal-pay compensation scheme, and which exclusively attract experienced engineers. I have long decided even before your blog post that this is exactly how I am going to run my company.
Maybe a bit tangential to the original comment, but starting my potentially controversial rant on Mastodon and Twitter:

The real problem with Mastodon, is that it's too similar to Twitter! People try out new sites because they have something different in terms of content creation or consumption (Discord, with its real-time communication and flow of conversations, Tiktok for its instant video creation and consumption, etc...) But Mastodon has nothing new to show off, since it's basically a Twitter clone (yeah, with some extra features like federation, but seriously why use it when you have Twitter?)

Mastodon has basically become Twitter for ex-Twitter people who don't want to deal with ratios and wild crowds and have their own "cozy" space. And I've observed people trying to move to Mastodon and realize it's a very quite place and immediately jump back in on Twitter after a month... I understand that there is a niche of people who dig that kind of cozy stuff, but most people still just love the wildness of Twitter where anyone can be commented on, retweeted, quote-tweeted, "ratioed", and "get judged and fucked by the audience". Yes, it's also one of the most horrible and deranged places of the Internet, but people accept that and still log in because we have our own death drives to fulfill. We know that cigarettes and drugs are harmful, but isn't that the point?
what constitutes a market? Giphy hadn't generated any revenue it was operating off the $20 million of VC money. Or are you just trying to say big American tech companies shouldn't be allowed to buy companies?

That does help, thank you! I use the search bar all the time (shift shift shift), but didn't realize "Actions" meant IntelliJ commands... thought they were referring to Github-like macros. Damn you, ambiguous technobabble!
Yes. Google is noticeably worse year on year for technical queries in particular, but everything else as well.
I think something that needs to be actively maintained like DMOZ is bound to burn out. I've been thinking about how you could passively maintain an index of good resources.

Imagine a service that provides you with a personal search engine in exchange for a list of your bookmarks. Those bookmarks provide the signal for what sites to index for the public search engine.
I have a Sun Microsystems shirt from the same era. It still fits!
Nice that their legacy lives on, thrives really, in GIFs.
React vs. Angular vs. Svelte vs. Vue
You mean that tiny little UK that produces only around 2,5% of the gross world product? ;) Being fifth on a sorted list that is pretty long doesn't say much all by itself. The overall distribution matters, too. Seen that way, a successful company that is operating world wide and highly profitable could give up 2 to 3% of its revenue and continue to thrive.

However, I don't see how companies alone have the power to openly strongarm governments. It would be a pretty foolish move. But withdrawing from a country's market to cut losses can be a correct move.
> Rewriting your CRUD frontend in Rust isn't going to make your DB queries faster

A typical consumer disk can do 1,000,000 IOPS (enterprise is one generation behind, and slower at the moment), with millisecond read and write latencies.

Are there any managed CRUD frontend languages that are fast enough to keep up with that?

(By “keep up”, I mean “be less than half the hardware I provision at scale”)
The website asks me to enable mp4 video. It does not contain gifs. Oh the irony.

> I wonder if we will observe something similar in acting and social interaction, where more and more bad or CGI acting gets corrected by uncanny valley methods, which new generations get on mass exposed with and thus change their own habits and what it means for facial expressions to be uncanny.

I like this comment and have had similar conversations with friends lately -- to your point, it looks like this phenomenon is already happening on TikTok where body language is modulating to emulate uncanny valley CGI.
I think it sounds normal provided the singer is already close to the correct pitch. The only difference I hear is that now the singing sounds better.
Except here the options are not as simple as "stopping smoking" which in this context would be "stop emitting co2" doing so would cause extreme economic harm, lower living standards SUBSTANTIALLY, and be very regressive to the poorest people.

Smoking is not needed for life to function, energy production, food production, heating, etc is very much needed for life to function.
This is an interesting point, because we didn't get this at all with resolution— most of the 20th century film catalogue was high definition from the get-go and happily got re-scanned and re-sold as VHS, then DVD, then Blu-Ray, and now as 4K and 8K digital content.

But framerate is different, and there will probably be a debate like there was with colorizing ("Tell Ted Turner to keep his crayons away from my movie!") around whether it's appropriate or desirable to interpolate legacy media up to modern framerates.
They are reduced ones showing just the pins of the external connectors. None of the processor interconnects or any of the on-board power management peripherals.

Absolutely, to the point I no longer use it.

For me it was the pinterestizing of image search that finally made me realize how pointless google was. Why use a service that is just going to feed me ads in response to every query?
You seem to have a lot of very strong opinions stemming from a blocked acquisition of an "easily reproducible company that doesn't really matter."

The idea that regulators shouldn't regulate because someone (the regulated?) might be upset is laughable. We don't acquit murderers because their community would miss them.

The only people who will oppose this are "captial-at-all-costs," folks who are happy with the continued consolidation of power/resources.
what you want is the internet with only a couple hundred million people connected, only a million or so content creators.

Unless you have some pretty evil supervillain scheme, no moral compass, and succeed.... that world is never coming back.
> On the resume part, fill up your resume/LinkedIn profile.

I've been told the opposite -- in the recruiter view on LinkedIn, they can only see your 3 most-recent positions, and they almost never expand the fold to see the rest. Thus, it's critical to curate those.

For example, let's say you previously worked at BigCorp, but left to pursue your startup idea (Startup A). In the meantime, you've consulted at another startup (Startup B), and you're working at SmallCorp to make the ends meet until your idea takes off.

You'd be better off listing StartupA, SmallCorp, and BigCorp (or StartupA, StartupB, and BigCorp) as compared with StartupA, StartupB, and SmallCorp, since only the most recent three jobs will be shown, and recruiters tend to more heavily weight BigCorp signals.

Notoriously, they won't even allow Klingon.

I cannot stress enough how infuriating it is when a page loads content under my mouse cursor at such a delay that I can manage to point at a link and click on it _before_ the new content is loaded so that I click/tap an unexpected link.

The topic here says "quantitatively". Does anyone have any actual statistics or quantitative data on the quality of Google search results?

All of these threads devolve into anecdotes and reminisces about the "good old days" and complaining about Pinterest. None of which is in the least quantitative.

I'd be interested to see some actual data or research on the subject, if it exists.

Or maybe it's not Google that's gotten worse but the web itself? Again, quantitative results, please, not anecdata.
Disneyland is complicated because the majority of park attendees are annual pass members who visit the park regularly. They have perfected a system that has completely saturated the capacity of the park. It’s akin to bots buying up all the consoles leaving none for real people. One-off visitors to the park have no chance against this crowd.

I know because I’m married to one of these people. We easily ride all the rides we want multiple times a day.
Switching between keyboard layouts is very easy, and is done every day by millions of bilingual people, especially if they type languages with different scripts (English, Russian, Chinese, Arabic etc).

On Windows, pressing Ctrl+Shift (nothing else) flips between the configured layouts. Other systems have similar shortcuts.
