I see what you're saying, but I don't think it's talking about other extreme of hyper-saturaed sitcom rainbows. While agreeing overly saturated is unrealistic, so is undersaturated or colour tinted. My 'real world' experience is frequently nice and bright and contrasty and colourful. My wife has a bright red xmas sweater on right now, I'm wearing blue, my daughter's toys are... every colour of every gamut. Kitchen is white with lime green accents. Our car is a very bright orange. Even in winter, the evergreens around us are reasonably green.

And then we go to Maritimes and the North east where every house is a beautiful vibrant colour, and yet movies always try to make them look bleak through desaturation.
Are there not any other ways to secure your system? Seems a bit off to me that some personal info is all that is needed to try fraud or 'attacks'.
Yes, this was, and still is, normal. Some people do drive their kids to school. But kids are still very independent. It's a small town with spread out houses. The general store, library, after school sports, and the town beach, in warm weather, are the choices of things to do. Things have changed a bit. It's more upscale. Farm dogs don't roam about. Hidden fences are installed most places. That makes life easier for cyclists.

> These things might be reasonable in a startup with a dozen people, but we have over a hundred thousand. My opinion is that once an organization is a certain size, everything really needs to be written down and easily accessible. I shouldn't have to regularly ask people how to do basic things, it should be on a wiki. If it's complicated, it should be in a training video, or a user manual.

Here's the root cause of your bug:

I remember when my employer adopted agile. One of the first things they did was lay off their team of technical writers.

Also you wasting your time flailing about probably makes some manager's budget numbers look good, because they got to "save" the money that would have prevented you from flailing about.
The answer is probably about in the same ballpark as the percentage of true alien abduction reports and bigfoot sightings.
Ive migrated several apps to angular 2 and assuming you got to angular 1.6 (or even just 1.4 with components) first, the rewrite is no big deal unless you heavily leverage specific things (root scope, some directive stuff, some template cache stuff). Especially with ngUpgrade available, I never found it terribly hard, though it did take time.

The Lord of the Rings theory appeals to me, not because I think it's right, but because those movies set much else in motion that has plagued film since. For one: fight scenes. The constant cuts from close-up to close-up of the faces of those fighting did an absolutely terrible job of getting the combat across, whether the scale, the difficulty, or what was even logically happening. Many of the fight scenes in movies since have focused on the up-close, refusing to use the vast expanse of the movie screen to do what it's built to do — show large-scale action, give a sense of where this is happening in the world, and showing the characters as being a small part of that world instead of, well, giant faces grimly emoting.

Of course now its like, "On my PS5, games load while I sleep...". And no one gets trained to debug with oscilloscopes, unfortunately.

Regarding Ikegami, I could have sworn they developed one of the great NES titles: Commando. And now I can't help thinking how cool it would be to have an isometric version of of that top scroller.

I’ll copy my questions from above:

Do you (and the other commenters in this thread) believe that closed source software is unethical? And if so, why?

And do you believe that MIT-licensed software is also unethical, because it allows for closed source usage? If so, why?

You just keep repeating that it’s unethical to support unethical things. Since that’s amazingly general and you’re commenting on a thread about software licensing, I assumed you were attempting to comment on the ethics of closed source and/or MIT licensed things. If you don’t think those things are unethical, just repeating overarching premises about ethics seems irrelevant. If you do think the things being discussed here are unethical, it would make for a much more engaging conversation if you’d say so and elaborate on why, vs just driving circles around the discussion repeating the kind of slogan I’d read on a picket sign at a philosophers march.
It's very effective too ... every "modern Evangelical prophet" (there theologically should be no such thing) that already believes the end is near more conjure and relate fantastical divinely inspired dreams whose plot twists are lifted from or hugely inspired by fantasy, comic book, and apocalyptic films and TV series. They're hugely entertaining delusions but would be C-grade at best.
This battle was lost in my current employer’s codebase years before I joined. We have data-test-id for half the components. It makes me sad.
The idea that AI would be bad for the economy or society had the appearance of sensibility when we were stuck in secular stagnation with inflation refusing to get off the ground. It was possible to argue that demand just wasn't going to catch up fast enough.

Now, though, we have inflation. It's back: the bad news is inflation sucks, the good news is that the standard theory has something to say about this situation, and it's the Parable of the Broken Window. As long as demand keeps up, we can expect an increase in supply efficiency (automation) to improve wealth (roughly) across the board.
For the last 20 hours or so, during the worst, I stayed awake and coughed up golfball sized chunks of phlegm every 15 minutes or so.

Apparently, many deaths occur by people literally drowning in their own phlegm. Had I not stayed awake, had I gone to sleep, I suspect it would have built up and I'd have woken choking, without time to cough up the accumulation before death.

I had a large set of lungs, and good stamina fortunately.

One of my biggest fears is COVID (which is in mice now) mixing genes with this.

Some people do actually end up at that kind of a multiple of their initial salary. It’s not that such growth is impossible it’s just really really uncommon and generally takes regularly changing roles.
A few years ago my housemate found out I was cleaning up trash around town and replied (with some disgust, I might add), "But we pay people for that!", to which I replied, "You mean the town owes me money? ;)"
Nope.

The startup I work at has been compartmentalizing and chipping away at our shitty code for the past eighteen months. We're not doing this because it offends our aesthetic sensibilities. The shitty part of our codebase is truly shitty. It fails to do its job regularly, causing significant toil in various parts of the business. Junior engineers can't make simple changes to it without causing serious regressions in seemingly unrelated parts of the system. It's slow as fuck. New engineers have to spend weeks reading the codebase if they hope to understand it, and some just give up. There's a big, measurable, drop in velocity whenever we have to work with the shitty codebase. So now we're effectively forced to do an incremental rewrite in order to build new features, which is terrible because rewrites suck and bring their own drop in velocity with them.

In practice, writing shitty code is not all that much faster than writing good code if you know how to write good code quickly - but I guess some people don't bother to learn.

I read somewhere once that at a growing company the next person who works on the code you wrote is highly likely to be new to the company and have less industry experience than you. When you write code, you should write so that that person can work on it productively.
Very well put.

In that framing, it is often the case that US-led "capitalism-at-any-cost" over-indexes on scaling the magnitude of the vector while leaving the direction free to be influenced by other entities. The EU approach is to disregard the magnitude while keeping tighter bounds on the direction.

I'd like to think that bodes well for the UK, since we historically have trodden the middle ground between both camps - but I'm sure we'll find some way of fucking it up and gaining neither magnitude nor direction.
> What happened to us, as a society, that creates the expectation that a thing should be monetized?

People need to put food on the table and provide for their families. How do you expect society to do so if members are just giving away their goods and services?
> Basically, my job requires using a lot of tools and technology and processes created by other people, but none of those tools are easy to use or well documented.

When I first moved into management roles I didn’t fully understand how much of my job would be simply saying “no” to a constant stream of engineers wanting to write or rewrite custom tools, libraries, frameworks and platforms when otherwise sufficiently good alternatives already existed. Not all engineers, but once you get into a big enough organization there are a lot of engineers who want to do meta-work and rework things instead of actually shipping things.

The worst offender I worked for had meta-tools on top of everything. You couldn’t use GitHub, Slack, or even our cloud platform without first learning how to navigate all of the custom tools and bots that had been put together to gate access to everything and make it work. And like you said, it was poorly documented. It turned into little fiefdoms where you had to know who to talk to if you wanted to get past the systems to get things done.

This can all be avoided with good management at an organizational level, but of course some managers want to get in on the situation because it puts them in a perceived stronger position in the company if their team is at the center of everything.

This is a great article, and if I were writing path-critical code for the situation the author describes I'd use an AST too, but I still munge me some text and most of the time it's good enough.

The problem with using AST libraries is that they're hard to understand unless you're used to them. So if you have to choose between a couple hundred lines of python or ruby and a giant AST I think it's smarter to go with the ruby. That way when something like a new emoji comes out, or what have you, the junior dev can handle the minor bug fix. Your AST is still going to choke on it. No way around it, the world has changed.

That said, there is an art to writing text processors and keeping things sane. The most important bit I've learned is to avoid transformations during extractions even at the cost of performance. At least until a fully exhaustive test suite is up. It makes it easier to test and it's a clearer separation of responsibilities.

I've written a lot of these parsers. One for a custom format for the Nasdaq on a project I was the lead on! I shudder to think of how many bits that thing is processing since it pipes data to and from thousands of data brokers and hedge funds.
That'll vary by country and won't be efficient everywhere in Europe. Certainly in Germany freelancers pay the same taxes as regular employees, and setting up a company means more taxes, not less.

It's a myth that Americans are greedier than other people.

Few people want money for its own sake. Some people are competitive, they want to earn money for status reasons. Or they just want to advance their career and money is a follow-on from that. Other people want money so they can buy expensive things or live in a nice house. Others just want to support their family.

>Spoiler: Its almost always an artistic choice.

If you mean, a choice by the team making the movie, and not something imposed upon them by technology or otherwise, then yes.

But I'd say it's usually not very artistic as in artful, as it's neither well done, nor necessary for the story/mood, and is not even about a genuine vision from the director, but rather following the fad.
what does “chasing too few” mean?
In the USA we describe this problem with the Laffer curve.

That works only in theory.

I can name a plethora of good things that are not rewarded.

- teaching
- writing good documentation
- picking up trash
- putting back your shopping cart
- writing useful books (generally only the best of the best of the best get any real rewards)
- helping a stranger
- maintaining or improving the environment (don't drill baby drill)

So though I think the economic philosophy of providing incentive/rewards for good things, it is almost anything but that in practical economics
My point was that it's not the same? A lot of problems are harder for a robotaxi than a personal vehicle.
The actual arguments in the article are weak enough that I'm having trouble paraphrasing them fairly. Instead, I'll point to the numbers:

1) li ion cost is at $150-$300/kWh today
2) these are for batteries that have warranties for 5000-7000 cycles, not the small number that the author got from a website
3) actual installation levels on the grid are far higher than the author estimated.

I have nothing against vanadium flow batteries, other than the aren't shipping much. If the can actually hit the $150/kWh mark they say they can in the article, they should be shipping a ton of batteries. And if they are shipping, they should publicize a bit more! California and other states are looking for non-lithium ion batteries with 8 hour+ duration, so there's a market for vanadium even if it can't compete on price.

Bad at crypto and at games if the specs are anything to go by. It's true the 6600 and 6700 series cards punch quite a bit above where you'd think they'd be relative to the 6800 parts but this one looks like an absolute bargain basement card.

ClickHouse is not good for updates and deletion, so if you want general storage of data, stick to RDBMS.

I'm not an expert in american insurance policies (not even a novice, tbh) but if you have an ongoing condition and then lose insurance, and then get new insurance with your easy-to-get new job then would the ongoing condition be considered a pre-existing condition and hence fall into question regarding cover?

> When new employees start work on something, they want the back story.

I've been working recently with a new hire and it was quite interesting to see how valuable the documentation that I wrote was for him to get up to speed.

TBH I was quire reluctant to writing, probably because of trauma with college English courses that made me feel like I was terrible at it and thus should stick to writing code...

But recently the importance of writing, not just technical documentation, but design documents, explaining historical reasons why things are the way they are, proposals for new projects/technologies/improvements/refactoring, all of those have a really big impact in whether things move forward or not.

Same thing with asking for promotions or expressing concerns...

I guess all I'm saying is, I've experienced how important is writing and investing a bit of time to get better at it does pays off!

I'm not sure how to think about this, technology does constantly present us with new questions of morality.

My dark sense of humor did chuckle at the "Mootrix" comment though.
Thanks, this was the piece I was missing. Their comment about using a chain that is too popular to easily block makes more sense now, but that still seems like the weak link, right? You're still depending on authority figures being too afraid of opinion to take action against a particular chain.
Did you read the blog post? This is only one example from the first part of it. You can find more useful examples if you read a bit more.
For example, if you write "Pseudo Code:" after a chunk of code, the copilot will explain the code for you.

This is a false dichotomy that I see in a lot of developers(including myself a while ago): fast+ugly vs slow+futureproof.

In a big codebase futureproof is more important, but let's put that aside and talk about quick and dirty standalone programs. Even when talking about the needs of now, ugly code can slow you down significantly. Ugly code takes you longer to debug, longer to see errors, longer to modify, longer to built upon even in the next hour.

So for me it's a matter of writing code that is at least good enough for me NOW, and then I start thinking about futureproof and other maintainers as I get closer to a commit and during pull requests.
I've worked at a 500 employee-company that had many of these issues, mostly from misguided attempts at copying the way FAANG worked without any regard for our own needs or scale. The entire code was a tangled mess of git submodules, transitive dependencies and the build system was contingent on a domain-specific language that was partially developed in-house and partially based on some unstable open source project, incredibly janky, and only two people got to see the sources for it or even knew how it really worked.

Dumpster fire doesn't even begin to describe the outcome.

There was always this strange spooky-leftpad-at-a-distance thing where stuff just kept inexplicably breaking, and nobody ever quite knew what had gone wrong, who to talk to, or when it was gonna get fixed.
They did sell a USB dongle that would take a PC's net connection and use that to make a WiFi access point for the DS or Wii.
That's what git stash is for; you can even add a message, just like a commit, to the stash. A commit should always be in a good state, runnable, without lint or other errors.

This is enabled by tooling. The tooling is largely still using classes under the hood. If you know how to use the underlying tech well you can solve problems your framework of choice doesn’t solve for you.

Not every web page is an SPA.
. Mant projects are small enough that frameworks are overkill, but good practice is still useful. Sites that are mostly content probably shouldn’t be built as if they were SPAs anyway (although many are now).
> if the Add was unit tested

The author talks about pure functions; "unit testing" sort-of implies a similar thing (something executable in isolation, turning arguments into return values). (Impure functions sort-of imply integration testing, etc.)
Actually, I was thinking about having an "already build" BASIC language... not creating a new one each time.
