That's an interesting way to load data and then use with Materialized Views. However, I am curious how do you make efficient use of compression codecs[0] that Clickhouse provides, or some neat features like TTL policies [1] using this method?

I have been coding for over 30 years and I can barely write one function without at least making some typos if not logical errors. I would never code for a couple of hours without compiling/testing.
Even if said lady only rejoins the workforce for 20 years, the savings are fairly significant.

Also, knowing Hungary, this is probably intended as a subtle disincentive for the local Roma ghetto population. All the Central and Eastern European states fiddle with their welfare systems not to incentivize higher birthrates among the Roma ghetto population, even if they do not want to state this aloud. That is why the benefits target taxes, which you only pay if you actually work.
Many people here are mentioning the SNES, but actually, outside of classic SNES games like Star Fox, Stunt Race FX, and Yoshi's Island using co-processor chips, SEGA also produced what they called the SVP chip for Virtua Racing on the Genesis.

Then we got the SEGA 32x - which was literally dumping a giant chain of extra chips onto the Genesis in order to do things like primitive 3D and scaling.

Beyond the SNES as well, the NES also had a habit of packing in small bits of extra hardware on their carts.
Young people don't vote as much partly due to lack of habit, but also due to their jobs having less flexible scheduling and voter registration rolls being tied to where you live. Old people live in places longer, young people move more. It's simply a much bigger paperwork hurdle to get registered, find your polling place, etc. And that's assuming you can take time off and politicians have actually bothered trying to engage you where you're at rather than spending $50 Million on ad time in the evening news.

5 years on Rails, 6 months on next.js+prisma.

React is way better on the view side than ERb/HAML/whatever.

I miss ActiveRecord. Prisma is relatively clunky. I like having fat models integrated with the DB.

It also feels like I'm fighting with the type system because every variation of a row with different joins becomes a different type. I'd rather be lazy about joins.
Holding all other things equal the lack of full population vaccination makes the situation work. There were plenty of hospitals that were near or at capacity. Whatabouting about other decisions or trends is irrelevant to our discussion about whether "1) a significant fraction of the population is anti-vax 2) this has negative affects on others".
> But all those data sources are connected to from the same runtime, right?

Not always directly, often a modern wrapper is setup around a legacy system that was never designed for network access. This can easily mean two different build systems etc, but people argue about what is and isn’t a monolith at that point.

Nobody counts the database or OS as separate systems in these breakdowns so IMO the terms are somewhat flexible. Plenty of stories go “In the beginning someone built a spreadsheet … shell script … and the great beast was hidden behind a service. Woe be unto thee who dare dare disturb his slumber.”

I don't think it's a good name. GPT-3 is more like a dreaming hallucination machine. Humans do nonsensical things in their dreams, same kind of non sequitur as the language models. What GPT-3 lacks is being able to wake up from its disembodied hallucinations, in other words a body and something to motivate its actions.
Statements like this are always biased by the perception of the writer i.e. you're walking into a no true scotsman here unless Wolfram is literally just too ignorant to remember that his business is likely reliant in some way upon open source.
> The cliff is irrelevant, if you leave before you fully vest your pay rate does not actually match what you claim.

This doesn't make sense as well. You don't need to work at Google for a year to get the first year's equity. So there is no one year cliff.

The frequency of how often you vest is also monthly. Specially at the L6+ levels. So you will lose at most of one month's equity (i.e. 1/48th of the grant) if you are bad at planning your last day. So to put actual numbers again, let's say your offer is 240k cash + 240k RSUs every year. So you vest 240k/12 = 20k in RSUs every month on say 20th of the month. If you leave on the 19th of your 12 month of the employment (i.e. before finishing one year), you don't lose on 240k of RSUs but just 20k of RSUs. So you will earn 220k of cash + 229k of RSUs before you leave.
Large companies have a tendency to throw up all sorts of impediments to actually getting shit done.

Simple tasks can take 3 weeks because there are 7-9 dependencies throwing sand in the gears.

This not only provides plenty of cover for not getting stuff done it also saps the motivation to get it done quickly. Like, if X team sits on your request for a week that prevents Y feature from getting out are you really gonna be motivated to push it to production the second it's unblocked? Or could it wait another couple days?

Contrast that with a small startup where you barely need sign off to do anything - it's much easier to get into that pleasant loop of code -> deploy -> see customers use it -> dopamine hit -> motivation to code some more.
I try to move to Linux desktop one or twice a year for the last, what, 20 years.

I have Linux on all my servers, was an early (very minor) dev on pre-1 kernel and generally love it.

The desktop is a walking nightmare. Something continuously does not work: multiple screens, waking up from sleep etc.

I really would like to move (we use Outlook but I am even ready to go for OWA) but Windows is considerably better on laptops.

Again, I love Linux and have managed literally thousands of them since 1994.
That's a pretty great incentive.
From your article:

"As part of the measures, young couples will be offered interest-free loans of 10m forint (£27,400; $36,000), to be cancelled once they have three children."

The average household income in Hungary appears to be $7,100. So essentially they can get a potential 5 years of income for having kids. Massive incentive.
That is just bullshit.

I know a lot of Ukrainians. They absolutely hate Russia.

Russia tries to invade their country, US isn't. Don't you think that makes a difference?

My family in law is from Slovakia. Needless to say, especially the older generation really hates Russia.

Do you have any idea what Russia did to Ukraine, or Slovakia or any of the other ex soviets satellite states? Don't you think that would leave any marks?
FWIW, I agree with you. For a brief time in the 90s, the topic was au courant, and my opinion was that is was a smoke-screen against campaign finance reform.

I think your position couples intelligence with consciousness a bit too tightly. I can imagine a goldfish is conscious but not intelligent and I can imagine a very powerful supercomputer to be intelligent but not conscious.

The prerequisite to change your position can be satisfied by having a computer randomly generate a question, which I don't think would be an example of consciousness or intelligence. Furthermore even as a human (and one who is hopefully intelligent), I would not go so far as to say that I'm not programmed. Almost all of my opinions are programmed, the language I speak didn't just fall from out of the sky but was taught to me, my preferences are almost certainly due to programming and I am certain if I grew up in North Korea they'd be different.

All this to say that consciousness can be independent of intelligence, and both of them can be programmed.

What is artificial scarcity? I don’t disagree with funding arts, in fact I think that STEAM would be a superior system to STEM, but we don’t even fund STEM research enough today, even though many of the best scientists had artistic abilities: not full inference.
To be fair, I've done both. By now I can roughly estimate that a task will take me one hour. If I dedicate myself to it right now, it will actually take me 2-3 hours. I can also sort of carry it around for a couple of days, and then implement it in one hour.

This says two things about me: I usually underestimate the design details when estimating time, and the design takes me roughly the same time anyway.
A man approached a street artist making amazing paintings and asked for one. About 2 minutes later, the artwork completed, and the artist asked for the fee. The man balked at the price. "What!? This only took a couple of minutes!" "No," replied the artist, "this took me my whole life."

I fully agree with this post but it's missing one important (to me) factor. With TypeScript I can reduce the number of tests I have to write and I can be significantly more confident when writing code solo. So I'm more than happy to spend 2 weeks (more like a day) to set up the boilerplate.

while these can be made to work .. Fusion360/SolidWorks/CATIA/Siemens NX are notoriously hard to make work, and when they do the fixes usually only last a single patch; and these softwares (aside from SolidWorks) are all always-connected and auto-updating.

and unfortunately a lot of that software is simply career-making.

It's simply an arms-race that can't be won from the consumer perspective without applying adequate pressure to the companies to try and facilitate a legitimate release.

it's hard to run any kind of business software to run any kind of business when it's in the back of your mind whether or not Autodesk has pushed an update to break everything by the time you need to use the software and have actual clients and money waiting for the work.

I'd drop all my windows machines in a heart beat if those companies would consider the GNU/Linux market, but i'm not really holding my breath -- they make a ton of money on their captive audience.
Another way to do `Option` without pointers could be similar to the following with a struct with two members.

type Option[T any] struct {
v T
isSet bool
}

func NewOption[T any](v T) Option[T] {
return Option[T]{
v: v,
isSet: true,
}
}

func (o Option[T]) Get() (v T) {
if !o.isSet {
return v
}
return o.v
}

func (o Option[T]) IsSet() bool { return o.isSet }

With this pattern you're able to use `Option` as a value without pointers.

var o Option[int32]

o = NewOption(int32(1))

fmt.Println("value:", o.Get())
fmt.Println("is set:", o.IsSet())

Alternative separate `Get` and `IsSet` methods, is to combine them into one, similar to map look up pattern.

func (o Option[T]) Get() (v T, isSet bool) {
if !o.isSet {
return v, false
}
return o.v, true
}

var o Options[int32]
v, ok := o.Get() // zero, false

o = NewOption(int32(1))
v, ok = o.Get() // 1, true
I've run all of them over the years (progressively upgrading like a good computer user). It's not even subtle. The good / bad dynamic is drastic.

And each 'bad' always brings to it a horrible UI change. Vista brought the window manager and those weird transparent windows and was generally ugly and buggy. Win 7 cleaned up the UI and made it flatter and simpler.

8 brought a full-screen start menu (!!). 10 went back to a 7-esque vibe (mostly).

11 is where we are.
The separation of languages is a natural byproduct of each language being specific to its domain. HTML does layout. CSS does styling. JS does frontend functionality. Server enforces business logic, controllers, and the data model.

It's clean, clear-cut, easy for IDE's to parse, and everything is in its place.

Dogma or not I still prefer everything in its place vs trying to watch my IDE twist itself in knots trying to figure out which language to use for a given context. To say nothing of all the little eccentricities in the JS engines' reimplemented parsers.
Do you know whether any of those cultures had the potential for wealth differentials among men the way we do today? The only cultures of that nature I heard of were either communal or men literally couldn't own more property than they could carry themselves.

Why is his comment toxic?
There's a tool for every job, but for most of my use-cases, I'd rather have a webserver which is just a webserver, and get my front-end elsewhere. But I'm sure there are places where Rails is a great fit in the right hands.

I'm not even using node very much these days. Serverless is what I would reach for for most professional applications these days.
These are great notes. I particularly enjoyed the notes about massages. My grandparents frequently asked me to pound their shoulders, and I even made massage tickets (though I was in my twenties when I made those, so wasn't as cute haha...)
You can change it to be trapping behavior, but doing so is problematic for architectures that cannot detect overflow at all of the supported widths in hardware because the software checks are slow.

Unfortunately (IMO), C and C++ has a sizable community that is unwilling to accept pessimizing behavior for various atypical architectures. This is not unreasonable, but it hugely limits the ability of the language to make decisions that work great for the 99%ile case.
You're right, but frameworks like Blitzjs (built on top of Nextjs) and NestJS are probably better comparisons. I went in the opposite direction from Ruby to Node land, and it's just as easy and quick to build an app now just like Rails. The issue with nodejs is the paradox of choice. Just like in Java, there are so many full stack frameworks to choose from that it's easy to get decision paralysis, where as there's only really one choice in both Ruby and Python.
Malthus wasn't completely wrong, but international trade mitigates the problem. This, of course, requires large surpluses in the exporting countries and fully operational supply chains, which we tended to take for granted until now.

An example: Egypt, a former granary of the Mediterranean, is now a net food importer and a sudden swing in world commodity prices could very well topple the ruling junta.

This wouldn't have happened if the Egyptian population growth leveled off at more reasonable numbers (say, only 30 million people crammed into the narrow Nile delta instead of 100 million).
I think your messaging should say "Apple Devices" as clearly it does not track Android.
I think we should rather talk about the (history) of working the typical 8 hours a day, which doesn't make much sense for software people if you ask me. IIRC the concept of working 8 hours is more than 100 years old and was considered an optimal value to minimize the number of work accidents and burnouts (for factory workers) and allow for three shifts per day. Hence, 8 hours was (is?) considered to give optimal efficiency for any worker.

For me on the other hand, I cannot do any deep work for more than 3-4 hours during a normal day. However, to comply to the historic 8 hours work day, the rest of the day gets filled with __other__ stuff, which may or may not is reasonable.

As others have mentioned already, I think it totally depends on company size, culture and people if you are able to gaze through a day by doing only a few hours at any given day. This completely coincides with my experience as well.
I am an amateur developper and honestly pity the MS browser team. It must not be that obvious to think they you develop a browser which usual usage is to download another browser.
Failing to pass most tech screens is normal, but not working at work is not. I've heard of this kind of behavior before, but my coworkers and I work most of the day, with a few breaks, and sometimes stay late if we're really engaged in a problem. I'm not terribly surprised you can get away with it, but self-discipline is a critical part of your character and well-being, so don't lose it.
It's targeted at working on remote hosts. WebRTC is baked in and most of the processing is done in the frontend app. For example, when you scroll, instead of sending the key to the server and waiting for tmux to update the display it all happens in the frontend as fast as possible.

Forgive me for the somewhat disparaging comment, but Gradio's product seems very basic to be. Can anyone shed some light on why HF felt the need to acquire them, rather than to just build their own version? Is there really so much complexity there that it was quicker to just acquire?
I’m not sure what your point is. You seem to have the Thing the article mentions and appear to be in the group of people who don’t like the game.

What I read here is just that you’re just as discriminatory as the people who you complain about. I don’t see any mentions of race in the article and what it describes applies to most cultures and every race.

Stop being racist and maybe people will stick around after receiving the Thing.
The Tinder distribution comes to mind about top 80% competing for 10-20% of males.

As someone who has lived in Japan and China, I can say that I have seen this happen.

I have also seen a similar phenomenon at Ivies (at the undergrad level) if you exclude the athletes, so it’s not even a race or national culture thing.

Imho, the short answer is that it is the way a large portion of that sub-population is raised - lots of study, very limited socialization (esp. wrt the males), very few positive male role models who are like them in home life or in popular culture.

> Built-in replication without the need to run Zookeeper, with multi-tier sharding support. They rewrite the ZK protocol using multi-paxos within CH itself. It's great.

AFAIK this description is kind of misleading. When they say that they got rid of Zookeeper people expect that they can just connect clickhouse nodes to each other and the replication will work. But that is not how things work - you still have to run external service called clickhouse-keeper. Basically what they did is they rewrote Zookeeper in C++.
