Absolutely. I'm at a mid-size startup based in SF and we went from a few remote engineers outside of the country to over half our team remote internationally and many of our longest-tenured US-based engineers moving to places like Oregon, Texas and Colorado. I moved to NYC. There will be no significant engineering presence in SF when our office finally reopens.
streamlit is a nifty ableit limited package. Well done.
If it were "Peak Performance" I'd think it's the Mac Pro - given the logo as all the Apple logos multiples, I like to think we're going to see a 2 or four socket M1 monster with 128+ cores.

But being "Peek"... who knows.
There are a lot that emulate 8-bit CPUs, although which have fixed clock speeds, I'm not sure.

I have my own 8Mhz 8-bit AVR that I work on from time to time. It's more designed for the Assembly coder experience.

Pre-pandemic, my commute was walking 20 minutes and then taking a train for 10 minutes. I loved it so much!

Now I just have a dog that I walk for a few hours every day instead haha.
There's an anecdote in the Tipitaka where the Buddha analogizes would-be followers who never advance in the practice to farm animals that never grow, and explains what the herder does with those animals: he kills them.

This is generally understood as a recommendation to kick hopeless monks out of the monastery, not literally kill them.

You'd have to ask a competent meditation teacher, which I am very much not, how to know. I am pretty sure that the answer involves spending some time trying, with good guidance.
Investors paid that guy 12M to recover 2-4M worth of gold. Seems like a bad investment and then he "forgot" where he put it and has been in jail ever since. Sucks for all investors involved for sure.
The 27" 5k LG displays are a really awkward resolution. Running with 100% display scaling, text is too small to read. Running at 200%, screen real estate is not big enough. This leaves non-whole-number ratios which cause crazy problems with macos font rendering; text glistens as you move a window around and even/odd pixels are doubled or not. There's no way to get clear text. Windows handles this much better.
If example.com actually operated an MX, then the email would be delivered, yes.
I work for an extremely famous hospital in a small city in Minnesota, and we've gone 100% remote forever in large part because then the hospital doesn't have to pay for heating/lighting/internet/etc for all of the buildings that used to be full of us. Eventually they'll probably sell the offices entirely. I'm not sure why Google thinks it's economically worth it to have people come back in, I'd imagine the savings must be even more immense for them than it is for us.
> Can server costs be reduced by offloading the work to the front end?

I would say yes. One significant benefit of SPAs is that you can produce fairly complex applications without any server logic, only static hosting. The workload is essentially offloaded to the build process and the front-end. You still need to carefully consider the effect on e.g low powered and js-disabled devices ... but these are straightforward considerations.

From what I've seen in a few minutes looking at Sigstore, it seems they require packages to be stored in a OCI-compliant store... which it differs on how package managers are storing packages. So it might be not as trivial.

Or perhaps I'm missing something?

So I ran across a shit ton of your comments in this thread, like how you think, you should hit me up if you're ever hiring.

I can't tell whether there's some point directed at the comment you replied to or if this is some stream of consciousness thing.
U.S. lawmakers push Treasury to ensure Russia cannot use cryptocurrency
The anxiety definitely has a basis: we live in a world where individual humans control powerful nuclear weapons that can be delivered, without real possibility of interception, and with minimal warning, right over every major city. The only real safeguard we have are the chain of human soldiers between the leader, the launch order, and the launch. There are like 10 brains in the world that can order a launch, and best case 10 brains to launch. So the world's nuclear safety is in 110 brains, best case, 10 brains, worst case.

Brains, meanwhile, are highly plastic. Emotion, impulse, greed, fear - these are universal human drives. Now attach them to ever growing control over resources, power, to see your will be done, to cheat and get away with it, but only if you keep escalating... How could this possibly end with Putin backing down?

My belief: Putin will order a launch. This will result in either nuclear war, if his proxies are loyal to him, or his immediate loss of power, if his proxies are not.
I'm glad I was able to satisfy my movie bucket list when Netflix still had a large catalog of DVDs.

Netflix today also has weird gaps, like if a show had 5 seasons, Netflix only has seasons 2 and 3 available.
With current warheads, it (unfortunately) is survivable. It's more or less as if any city on the world looks like germany after WW2 - plus some radiation, but most of it is gone after a few weeks.

Fucked up, sure. But survivable for some.

If you want my opinion, open space sucks and I can buy my own snacks. After one day at the office, I feel my head is about to explode. Constant noise, bright artificial lights...

The only good thing is that I can have informal meetings with my colleagues, talk around the white board and so on... this is very valuable.
If Russia did mass killings / carpet bombing / total war, it hands justification of the west for full counterattack and occupation of Ukraine.

Putin assumed all of Ukraine would roll over like Crimea. He has underestimated the people of Ukraine.

He attacked in winter assuming it would be over in two days. Now his already-low-morale forces face winter. I don't care if they are equipped and Russian and "used to war". This won't be WWI where you can build bunkers and hide in there. If you occupy a house, the local populace will email someone and you'll be a target of portable missile infantry.

He doesn't seem to have a plan B.

In theory, with good arms supply from the West (which is RIGHT OVER THE BORDER, this isn't Afghanistan that is 5000 miles away), the Ukrainian populace will get progressively better armed, more experienced (this is probably resulting in the training of a million or more Ukrainians to be effective soldiers), and more motivated.

If I were the US/NATO, I would be training and equipping as many Ukrainians as want it, and there should be millions of willing soldiers. This is the opportunity to produce a very dangerous military power right across the border from Russia. You get to breathe down the neck of the Belarus puppet strongman. And it might destroy Putin's regime by weakening him.

Putin also seems to have underestimated how much Ukraine hates him personally. I know no Ukrainians, but I suspect they are sick and tired of him threatening him and are spoiling for a fight.

The danger to Putin is that the US could equip and train and season a millions-strong Ukrainian army that sees a very unmotivated Russian army, repulses them, and then counter invades Russia. Now that is unlikely given nuclear deterrent and the like, but it is within the realm of possibility, especially if elements of Russia's army hint they are amenable to regime change and will refuse to nuke.
That's why it was funny that Turkey was ostracized for buying Russian/Chinese SAMs ( was it S-400 last or a Chinese version). What else could they possibly buy? The Patriot system isn't even close, and doesn't seem to be working too well for the UAE ( but then again we don't know how S-300/400/500 would deal against drones and light missiles)
Hi Simon, why'd you pull me in ;)

We recently went a rewrite of our frontend for https://www.crunchybridge.com from SPA to more "basic" request response app and couldn't be happier. Previously was SPA with React and we rebuilt from scratch with request/response using Node. In places we still leverage react components for re-usable frontend bits, but no more SPA and state management.

As you've mentioned in some of your other threads on this, the state management and sync between the API team and the front end team just caused velocity to slow down. It took longer to ship even the most basic things. While we want a clean and polished experience, the SPA approach didn't really accomplish any of that for us.

The rewrite was under 8 weeks of an app that had been built up over a couple years and we quickly recouped all that time in our new found velocity.
If the last 3 years are any indicator, living in SF and the west coast in general means putting up with 2-3 months of choking, dangerous wild fire smoke every year too. It was a novelty for one summer but is slowly going to poison and cause serious long term harm the more it continues. I don't think people realize how unlivable the west coast is quickly becoming.
It's a slander and inappropriate at this time. But yes it's my opinion that it breaks the rules. It introduced needless toxicity and turned this thread into a flamewar.

This seems relevant to your question:

Yes, something similar happened with my team, although there was a consideration to allow some work to be remote before Covid, once it started that sealed the deal.

It is strange to walk around an office and see a bunch of workstations, desks and PC's that are all setup to do work in person, but only the PC is being used remotely and the only other people in the building are a security guard or janitor.
Yes, it's based on where you work. Though you can work remote from the same city as your current office and have no pay difference.
> I think part of why Russia looks so inept is because everyone is comparing against the US.

Yeah, we would all like the narrative to be Russian army not working.

But it's also possible that they are just working slowly. And certainly possible that Putin would rather loose conscripts than risk airplanes.

(Honestly, I just hope the madness stops before more people are hurt -- ideally with the Russians going home)
Mine was before COVID. Still is now. I doubt I’ll return to the office unless mandated. Either way, I’m in Zoom all day. Going to office doesn’t mean face-to-face work for me. I might go in once a week or so just for lunch with friends.
There's still plenty of room for them to convert this apparent impending loss into a partial success by gaining control of the territory they care most about, which is (likely) the South (to relieve Crimea's currently tenuous & expensive situation) and South East (to take full control of the fossil fuel resources there and bridge their territory over to Crimea), which also happen to be the areas they're having the most success in, judging by the various maps of territory they're semi-successfully occupying.
> C# raced past Java in terms of 'fun to work with'.

I agree that language-wise, C# is definitely ahead. But just a heads up that I think it is also dangerously going towards the fate of C++ (or even already there) where no one person can hold the whole language in their head, and new but not learnt features might introduce problems down the line. For a language, what gets implemented is an important question but perhaps what doesn’t get is even more important, and Java (after the stagnation at the end of Sun) is a slow-mover but when they do, it is usually the best direction/approach. For an example, C# chose (even created afaik) async which is a good feature, but arguably a runtime language could have got away without any new feature and implement it in the runtime alone, a la project loom in java.

My main gripe is their willingness to support systems that are functionally gambling directed at children. I also didn’t love their attempt to essentially “weaponize” their young teen fortnite audience when they got into that dispute with Apple a few years ago over in-game purchases transferring from their end to the iOS version.
It's easy to spend your entire life running from one thing to the next. Meditation can just be a 10 minute break where you give yourself permission to take a mental break. Like almost everything, there is an unhealthy extreme. As an analogue, I don't think it's unreasonable to say that fitness is generally good for you, but trying to do ultra ironmans is probably not going to be good for many people, and if you attempt it you have to prepare in a way that's suited to your own body.
It's also entirely possible to be pro-gay marriage in 2004 and anti in the 1980s. Certainly a ton of people fit that description. That said, I've probably read most of his books and I don't remember him talking about gay rights one way or the other though who knows what stereotypes he wrote about that simply didn't register 25+ years ago?
> It's hard to fathom any rational justification for this.

It can only be because they think that it's essential to strike now; they think that if they leave it, terminal decline is inevitable.

This is a military operation that's been planned for years; by 'now', I mean 'this decade'. I imagine they saw the European gas crisis as an opportunity, and one that would slip away quickly if they didn't seize it. That's why it's happened this spring.

That long column: that's mostly logistics for the planned long siege of Kiev. I think those guys have barely begun.

It kind of is now (and I hate it).

If you don't sell, it's likely the large companies trying to buy you will copy you and use their piles of money to undercut you out of business (and if they don't, any VC backed startup can try).

So you either survive as small and unnoticed, or become big enough to be interesting (and then bought or killed unless you achieve absurd growth).

Tech is kind of a dark forest now (https://thoughtcatalog.com/christine-stockton/2021/02/heres-...).

To be fair, no book is going to be very useful in a crisis. It's helpful only if you read and prepare before hand. In the actual crisis, there likely won't be time to read it, gather supplies, build a shelter, etc.

This made me think of my late father. He loved interurbans. Interurbans were trolleys that ran between towns. Detroit had a web of them allowing you easy access to the entire metro area.

There is an interurban right of way within a couple of miles of my place. Students at Michigan State could take the interurban out to Lake Lansing northeast of the city. It has been converted to a bike and hiking trail. The fact that potentially they could have had phones aboard would have absolutely delighted Dad.
Well, technically correct M1 Max doesn't include wifi on chip, but it's just plain wrong that it has less space. Starts at 32GB which is more than 30 hard drive GB of the largest Nomad.
Headlines lack nuance, news at 11. But, since the quote lumps relocations in with remote work, it's hard to say how applicable it is to the headline.
Russia has around 1000 warhead maximum possible first launch capacity in the most optimistic scenario.

If Russia saves submarine second strike, it will be 800.

If Russia will chose to hold off land-based second strike, it goes to 550.

If Russia chose to reserve some of its most powerful ICBMs as a reserve for the "dire friend" China, I would give it to be 300 warheads.

If the nuclear command & control centre is destroyed by a pre-emptive strike, there will be no coordinated first strike, but uncoordinated launches by individual units, highly conditional on officers resolve to fight an now unwinnable war.
But over the last decade journalists, as a group, have taught me not to trust them.
Depends on if MANPADS, TOW, and Drones become the dominant forces of the battlefield.

Yes, similar situation at the startup I work for (which has also more than doubled in headcount since Covid started). The distributedness genie can’t be put back in the bottle now, which has significant pros and cons. It does make a lot of things less efficient, but on the other hand, it also lets us hire good people who don’t necessarily want to relocate to NYC.
I love From's games and yes this is a criticism that I absolutely agree with. In previous games, the story and lore was cryptic, but rich. It was delivered in a way that made you intrigued and you had to look for it, but it was all very coherent and cohesive and detailed and satisfying. And even if you didn't dive deep, the cryptic nature was intriguing enough to still make a shallow experience interesting.

I'm 30 hours into Elden Ring, have no idea what the Elden Ring is or why I or anyone else wants to be the Elden Lord, whatever that is. This is easily my biggest criticism of the game. Combat-wise it's as good as ever, but man in this area it is sorely lacking. But who knows, maybe it'll open up more as the game goes on. I've admittedly done very little of the story stuff (ran into Margit and fucked off doing random stuff so I could be strong enough to face him, which I plan on doing tonight), so perhaps that's the problem.
"Threads" is also a nice one, I would say it is more brutal and anxiety inducing than "The Day After".
What incentive does a journalist have? Do they have an incentive to publish a story that is sensational when the story could be either true or false?
That just sounds like poor performing developers to me. You don't need snazzy animations between states. Just not reloading the full page is a benefit.
Bottom line today if you can't deliver your app on the web only, you will most likely end up at best with:

- An Electron (Desktop) app

- An React Native Mobile app (that needs to be delivered through both Google & Apple proprietary channels)

Whether you loved or hated Java the language, it is hard to deny we ended up in a terrible place:

- We lost all freedom on mobile

- We rely way too much on Blink & Webkit

- We traded Java for Javascript

- It's still relatively slow

- We haven't fixed the security problem on desktop

- Devs now have to manage a lot more technologies & moving parts
Depends. Pay is based on location and is the same for in-office at location X or fully remote at location X. Relocating could impact pay up or down.

While it might be connected to the war, note that "Another one of our Migs crashed" is more frequent in the news than "Voyager leaves the solar system".
I think the best solution for this is just doing fullstack dev with SSR + partial hydration.

The issue is that, so far, we haven't figured out how to have a good fullstack DX.

Remix is probably one of the best attempts so far, but it still leans heavily towards being a very sophisticated renderer for the front end. The proof is you probably would not use Remix to create a 100% backend project with no front end. Same with SvelteKit or Next.

Until fullstack frameworks get more serious about the backend, we will be in this weird limbo.

In my current project I use Fastify as my main backend framework, and then use Svelte for SSR + hydration. I loose a lot of the frontend sophistication that SvelteKit brings to the table, but OTOH I have an amazing backend framework and total control and flexibility.
> On the other hand, the Stormlight magic system involves "grain" and "blood" being fundamental elemental substances.

I've been enjoying a story that manages to have 22 elements - including Healing, Blood, Sound, Force, Destruction, Illusion and Fae - integral to its system of magic in a way that feels consistent while being varied and interesting, despite how odd some of those seem at first. Grain does seem a pretty strange element I agree, but so did Wood when I started reading stories using the Chinese five element scheme until I became accustomed to it.
Yup, excellent points all around. Well put!
A gift to Meta recruiters, brought to you by Sundar.
So for software archtiectures that separate concerns by spawning many short-lived processes and using message passing, (which seems like a great idea, just can't think of anything that does that, would love examples if they exist) it /could/ be a factor but we have no numbers. Do you see it?

Let's just say I want to design a solution involving spawning a buttload of procesesses and pass messages back and forward. Roughly when does fork efficiency become something other than of academic concern? 10 processes per second, 1000, 100000? What does the inefficiency look like? Nothing? A stutter you might not notice? Through to everything grinds to a halt and you can't login to the box and neither will the oom killer help you.
Reasonable people can be hard to come by when the world is ending. I imagine that even the most ordinarily level headed person might become a bit emotional when nukes starting dropping on their country.

Fuck this guy. This is a clear violation of the U.N. Charter to which Russia is a signatory. If they don't like it, get out and let the world know they are the enemy of multilateral peaceful means of settling disputes. Not one complaint brought by Russia to the U.N. about any of this.
