Definitely the gist of it. You can also make .NET framework custom actions to put into your workflow. I dabbled in it for several projects and although its fairly powerful. Working in a GUI workflow designer is cumbersome for anything even moderately complex, and they lock you into their ecosystem of products for DB access from your workflow, OCR/Document processing, handing off tasks to humans, and just overall restrict your capabilities unless you pay them huge licensing fees.

It really seems to be an enterprise (and large-scale professional services) focused tool. It was difficult to get support as a small consulting agency working for a small client.

For the most part, the developer community is very insular and lacks a lot of technical skill. Its primarily Indian and latin american developers using RPA to get into the field. It was frustrating at times needing help on a platform-specific issue and being directed by the same social engagement-focused "experts" to watch their own "tutorial" videos when it didn't answer the question I was posing, and they had nothing to offer besides their video. When I did help answer people's questions in the forums, I was hounded with unrelated questions in my direct messages because I appeared competent. Its very much a "here's my problem please fix" kind of community, where the goal is to solve their immediate issue instead of learn how to do it themselves.

I'm a little jaded to the field of RPA after my experiences. UiPath has some novel solutions to targeting GUI elements using a selector language and introspecting the structure of the GUI itself, but the lock-in and licensing costs really make it inaccessible to most small-medium sized businesses, the performance is really poor, and the development effort of making a resilient solution is pretty high.

I think if I were to get back into it, I would look at workflow languages without a visual workflow designer instead, and avoid GUI interaction in the process at all costs.
We only just got AV1 decoding on the latest gen of GPUs, it might be too optimistic to hope for encoding in the next one.

In 2019, Twitch predicted roll-out of AV1 support by 2024, but then the pandemic happened: https://www.streamingmedia.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?Art...:

> For head content, it's okay to streaming multiple formats because the viewership is huge, so streaming multiple formats, although increase our cost, it still actually save our traffic cost, so it's still worth while. But for the tail content, it's very different. We can only afford streaming one single format, so our strategy is currently still doing H.264 using hardware, high-density hardware solution, but we're hoping towards 2024, 2025, the AV1 ecosystem is ready, we want to switch to AV1 100%.

>

> Jan Ozer: Did you say 2024 and 2025?

>

> Yueshi Shen: 2024, this is our projection right now. But on the other hand, so as I said, our AV1 release will be, for the head content will be a lot sooner, we are hoping 2022-2023 we are going to release AV1 for the head content. But for the head content, we will continue to stream dual-format, AV1, H.264. But for the tail content, we are hoping towards five years from now to AV1, whole eco, every five-year-old device supports AV1. Then, we will be switching to AV1 100%.

The initial roll-out will probably just involve transcoding at sub-source quality settings to save bandwidth with no encoding to be done by the streamer.

Right now, platforms have only talked about AV1 for transcoding purposes, so there's not the same urgency to add encoding support on consumer-level GPUs. Even thought it'd be amazing to see AV1 streams and YouTube videos, it's mostly on the server-end to cut costs and make things easier on people with data plans and cellular.
We used to call seeing ads in Windows ‘adware’. Now we just call it ‘Windows’.

I’m dead serious - unless you have a specific business reason like most do to use this POS, I can’t imagine anyone actually choosing to use Windows over the alternatives. What a seriously awful piece of software.
"The speaker became attracted to the person they are talking about" is definitely not the way I (native US English speaker) would explain falling for someone, and any person or robot using it that way is likely to sow confusion.

How does it do with "I fell for it?"
It's hard to measure an accident rate for a plane that has never crashed. And that in turn is mostly because they're all relatively new and rare and thus haven't accumulated even a fraction of the working hours of something like the 737NG, which is the most popular passenger jet ever made.

Listen, I'm a Linux advocate to the core. I despise Windows and MacOS from the bottom of my heart, and I genuinely find them insufferable to work on. However, their issues don't stem from a lack of support. When you run either of those OSes on supported hardware, it will work. These bugs get ironed out before they ship. From the lowest-end $200 Asus laptops to the highest-end Macbook Pros, you won't encounter issues like your compositor crashing. Critical bugs like that slip through the cracks on Linux; their stability isn't even remotely comparable. For me, it's not the end of the world. For a casual user? This is a show-stopper. If Wayland continues to reduce the scope of hardware/software combos it works well on, it will critically hinder it's adoption in the already-minuscule demographic of desktop Linux users.
Or you know, do the polite thing and keep quiet?

The sentiments from you, and the original post I was replying to, have inherent privilege baked into them. A South Asian person with family who depends on them for remittances is ignored. A family with a child with special needs that require specific health insurance coverage is ignored. There are so many reasons people do the work they do. Presumably you think people who work in adtech, for example, are somehow morally inferior. It's this sophomoric view of the world that's bothersome. To tell anyone they should consider teaching at a coding bootcamp instead of what they're doing ... I have no words.

I'd love to hear how these folks are changing the world for the better. It's much easier to tell others what they should do with their time and money.
Yes, you can continue to use Vanced for now, if you already have a working APK or can procure one. But with no updates coming, it's only a matter of time before YouTube make breaking changes and it stops working. I would guess 6 months to a year, based on how often I've needed to update in the past.
I'm glad you mostly? liked our service. Here's a better (long overdue) explanation: our billing system attempted to bill you because you had a negative credit balance (owed us) - most likely from forgetting to destroy an instance. However there's a threshold for any credit card charge around $5. I suspect that we later experimented with a different threshold criteria, which then caused the billing system to attempt to charge your card the balance owed - a long while after it was accrued.

We do now have better billing history reports so you can see what caused a charge, although sadly the customer service still isn't much better. Source: I am the CEO/founder and still handle most customer service.

Works best with CapsLock->Control, which is a native GUI option, not something you have to install/CLI for (linux) or something you have to registry hack (windows). I really miss these on Windows and Linux, though not enough to fight the native layout. It's a rougher fight than you might imagine, though.

> Login screeen does not remember the language

It does for me, but more importantly: it shows it. Windows likes to swap the keyboard layout out from under me and doesn't show it. Mix with a 3-strikes-you're-locked-out policy at work, and it turns into pain.

> animations come back after every update

Yeah, that's fair.

> Muscle memory

That's not.

> I feel like mac os is in contempt of me

I feel like windows is actively malicious towards me and linux desktop doesn't care enough about me to do even minimum viable bugfixing. It's definitely a "pick your poison" situation.

I’ve worked adjacent to RPA and I’d like to think they were saving personnel from the most tedious and hair-pullingly annoying work routines.

Not using RPA is like not using macros in your text editor, because they are automating programmers out of work.

Some data can only be accessed through a legacy gui and it needs to be cross referenced with several proprietary databases that also can only be accessed through a gui.

Even if you begin migrating these it can take years if not decades. Meanwhile shit needs to be done.

Yes.

Turns out that commercial transactions happen in a social context, and even when it doesn't come back to bite you financially, sometimes paying less has social costs that are far higher than what you "saved".
Love the acknowledgement for Stefan Schnell('s SAP Tracker). His SAP Blogs contributed a lot to my VBScripts.

I've always been averse to "low code, no code" solutions. Most of the problems that these seem to solve are mostly already addressed by programming tools. Even version control has GUI nowadays.

The main problem with hooks is that it takes a lot of somersaults to do simple things. Just like class components, there are things at the core that are not kept simple. which makes hooks very complex.
One problem with epsilon-delta definitions is that they don't scale. In many topological spaces, there's no concept of distance and so epsilon-delta stuff has to be replaced with more general open sets. About the same reason why sequences have to be replaced with nets and filters.
It’s often not even that much manual housekeeping. If you follow the second advice, then ESLint will do a fine job of telling you exactly what’s missing or superfluous.

(I argue that ESLint is almost required when working with React. You can turn off its weirder other rules if they become an annoyance, but the hook rules are golden.)

No, I think the problem is the combination of closures, mutability and identity. Very few other things in programming punish you that harshly (and subtly) if you don’t have a crystal clear understanding of all three concepts.
Browser-in-browser attack is perfect for phishing
Renaming a function comes with the explicit implication that the API has changed. But it might not be clear to someone maintaining a Python application that changing a parameter name might change an argument - that is not the case in any other language (until PHP 8).

Guess how I discovered this issue :)
Of course this is all speculative and I never said intricacies of human languages will disappear, but human is extremely adaptive. Historically there already had been cases where different languages are used for different social contexts, so we can imagine a similar dichitomy between an informal language (not very amenable to MT) and a formal language (amenable to MT).

Makes me question that they are in fact “brilliant tech visionaries” — most of us have been able to see through the bullshit for many years.

It’s mostly greed and naivety.
It's a mailing list? You aren't forced to use and it isn't required to use the service.

I also don't see 'mailing list' in your list of complaints.
Let's assume you only care about cracking one word messages in English, and only the 10000 most common words. The time stamp is granular to the hour, and there are ~10000 hours in a year.

Easily available hardware can create 10 billion SHA-1 hashes per second. So to brute force every hash for every combination of one word message and timestamp, you need ... one hundredth of one second. No rainbow tables needed here. Just brute force it. For each hash, you just check every message hash stored on your server to find matches. If you find a match, you've uncovered the probable message text.

And so on for 2, 3 word combinations. Let's take 3 word combinations, assuming all three words are in the 10000 most commonly used English words. There are 10000^3 possible combinations of such words. Once again, the timestamp adds another 10000 possibilities (for the last year). How long does it take to brute force all 3 word combinations? One million seconds - less than two weeks. This is for a SINGLE person working on this with a SINGLE GPU. Not only will a serious attacker have better hardware, but context clues can help limit the possible options so that much longer combinations of words will be possible (if they are common combinations).

Sure, there will be slight punctuation or capitalization differences in some cases and that adds entropy, but not by enough to bother taking into consideration in terms of security.

I guess we're also assuming in all this that Google is not tagging each message with the time received on the server. Given that they already have that information, they might be able to recover the message content without needing the extra hashes for the timestamp.

> ...we can't build anything on bullshiting.

I completely agree. However, I feel many of the problems we face as a society is because far too much has already been built on it. It was once strategically placed where necessary to maintain operations. Now it's just an industry all to itself.
The worry is not about fourth reich. Worry is about whether the army raised in a pacifist country will be able to recruit sufficiently to increase the numbers and when the time comes, whether they want to fight. General reddit 'experts' seem to suggest, the army would instead propose an economic partnership with the opposing side to settle everything amicably (:
It takes like 18 months to recover the cost of the miners, plus maybe they've leased out a warehouse, and so forth -- so its a sunk cost situation.
I agree about having an error to investigate or a question to answer. Some of the python libraries with great code I'd recommend reading are Flask and Werkzueg. Both have very clean interfaces and excellent documentation. Sqlalchemy is somewhere in the middle. As an ORM it has a high minimum level of complexity. But the codebase is still reasonably well organized. Looking for an answer to something like "how does it emit a JOIN" may be a lot harder to answer than you expect though.

For packages to avoid, stay away from Celery. It's just... icky.
Adding to that, the worst part is if you're living in a developing country and are paid just a local salary. You're still charged >300% because everyone assumes you're some rich western dude, but I certainly wasn't. It was a real drag.

The Unified Code for Units of Measure (UCUM) is a code system intended to include all units of measures being contemporarily used in international science, engineering, and business. The purpose is to facilitate unambiguous electronic communication of quantities together with their units. The focus is on electronic communication, as opposed to communication between humans. A typical application of The Unified Code for Units of Measure are electronic data interchange (EDI) protocols, but there is nothing that prevents it from being used in other types of machine communication.

An example of use is in the FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (hl7.org/fhir)) standard as a valueset.

Without knowing much about temperature specs, that minimum operating temperature seems quite high. This week, here, it'll be a bit colder than 10° C and I don't live in a particularly cold place.
The gap between these is so immense, using the same word “college” masks the difference.

For all that is holy, go to MIT. This is from someone who went to a larger school and dropped out, with zero regrets.

The top 3-5 schools put you on a different plane of existence. The people you meet will be in the elite, you’ll be surrounded with the future top people in your field.

The academics don’t remotely matter. College is all about network. By being surrounded by elites, you are friends with elites, and you’ll live a different life.

I have a lot of friends who went to top schools, especially MIT. Much of their success and their network, into their 40’s, is still interconnected with their MIT network.

You will be treated differently. You’ll get a glow on your life from the status.

Life is a relay race between generations. By choosing MIT you drastically increase the chance of elevating your blood line into the upper class. That’s no small thing.

I’d strongly urge you to take the long view here.
Seems like a misuse of the term to me. Reading and writing to an external datastore to gate side effects doesn't seem like idempotent operation. Seems inherently stateful. The abs function isn't stateful. It doesn't refer to some changing lookup table of numbers to track the sign to return.
You should go. I was all set to go to Caltech or the Ivies and turned them down for mostly, though not entirely, financial reasons and went to a state school instead. Worked out mostly fine but much harder to get foot in the door and the opportunities and experiences you get in a place like MIT last a lifetime.

If you don't go, many doors will become closed or so much harder to get into that it's basically equivalent. Want to join a think tank, become a quant on Wallstreet, easily raise VC money at 23? These are all much easier with the credibility a MIT degree brings.

"Normal" degreed people essentially live a life where everybody assumes you are stupid until proven otherwise. MIT people are assumed to be smart until proven otherwise. That is a tremendous advantage in almost all contexts.

Not to mention the quality of your peers and the education itself. Don't pass up the opportunity to really challenge yourself and see what you can do. Sure, it's just undergrad and you aren't really solving anything of note but just being surrounded by the leaders of your field is inspiring and will push you to be your best.

Sample size 1 over here but especially MIT I would go. MIT is big and diverse enough that you can go as technical as you want, or study business, or…?

Anyway my 2 cents from a 30 something that has been around the block.

Congrats and good luck!
A lot of the examples of inconsistent UI in the article are things built into Windows. For example the "Windows security center" vs. "Eject disk" context menus. I think it's fine for third-party apps to have differences in UI based on their vintage, but why are Microsoft's own apps and utilities all over the map? Microsoft has also done a really bad job of evolving existing UI frameworks. Instead they seem to replace the whole thing every few years with something new and shiny which leads to even more inconsistency. The article lists all of these:

> There is Windows Forms, WPF, MAUI, UWP, WTL, WinUI, MFC, and I am sure others that I am missing.
TDD gets pushed because it creates great, easily trackable metrics one can gesture to as evidence that a) your code is good and b) that you're doing a good job and should be paid more.

It makes developers happy because it translates the somewhat arcane nature of the work into something easily digestible by management, and is a fig leaf for shoddy work.

It makes management happy because it goes nicely on a chart that can be shown to the director/customer/shareholders, and looks good at status meetings. It also gives them something to poke at and micromanage.

It makes the customer/shareholders happy because it provides a metric that their money is being spent _doing something_.

TDD may have started as a coding best practice, but it exists and endures - and will continue to exist and endure - because it's performative, and the performance has value to every layer of a business, even though it has nothing to do with actually making the product better at this point.
The 737 NG was designed and built in a different time effectively by a different company to the Boeing which builds planes today.
Well, there are various indicators that Putin is supported by majority of Russia and Russians.

And little to indicate that opposition to Putin has larger popularity.

For me "fuck Russia" is OK, though I would be strongly opposed to "fuck Russians".
I'm not sure if briefly levelling off for about 30 seconds is proof that the plane was "operable and could aviate". It feels more like the pilots briefly got some control back, before the situation worsened again.

Of course really trying to speculate at this early stage on limited data is pointless. We really need to wait for some hard information to come out of the crash investigation.
Great game! It's really fun bro. I now understand that I have no idea of my city at allll. LOL
