> You are buying simpler local dev with a more complicated and error prone production.

How so? Any evidence for that?

> More complicated by the fact that SQLite wasn't designed at all around the notion of being a multi-tenant database system.

Neither was Tailscale, that's why the engineers decided they were a good fit. But I'm sure you know more about it than they do.

> Containers make local dev with postgres or other db technologies pretty slick.

No they don't. Dockerizing everything for local dev bogs you down to Docker's added latency for every operation, this is not even getting into the latencies added by having to periodically `docker pull`, `build` images, provision the disk space for the images, and maintain all that infrastructure over time. Compared to that, an SQLite database is basically nothing.

> All your dev tools defined in the docker file. Done, new dev installs docker and moves from there

Docker is not a good way to do local dev, overall. The entire point of local dev is speed of iteration. If you need a usable test environment, set one up in UAT.

> A backend database is not the right location for SQLite.

The SQLite team actually disagrees with you on this: https://www.sqlite.org/whentouse.html

> SQLite works great as the database engine for most low to medium traffic websites (which is to say, most websites)....Systems designers report success using SQLite as a data store on server applications running in the datacenter, or in other words, using SQLite as the underlying storage engine for an application-specific database server.

But again, I'm sure you know better than them.
Yes. We do it all the time.
In some sense, the tricky part is not the antenna itself. It's the electronics that you use to drive it. Electronics can be fast enough to drive an antenna at a few GHz, which is why it is easy to generate microwaves: just hook up some fast electronics to a microwave antenna. But there are few (if any) electronics fast enough to drive an antenna at these high frequencies (like 1 THz).
Interesting, I’ve interviewed at all of the FAANGs other than Netflix, plus maybe 10 or so much smaller companies. In general the smaller companies all seemed to want to emulate the FAANG hiring process with 4-6 rounds of interviews with engineers after an initial phone screen. I think only 1 or 2 of them limited their interview to just 2 rounds.
My biggest concern with Optical Disks is obsolescence and convenience. I bought some DVD media to do some backups but so far I have only backed up a portion of my photos. Right now my files are being stored on my MacBook's internal SSD, Backblaze, Google Drive, and a Time Machine backup on an SD card that stays in the SD slot. I do full backups to external hard drives every so often. I'm too lazy for any backup method that requires an involved process like optical media.
And I also find myself asking if it's even worth it. I don't think my files are that valuable, to be honest. I would be sad to lose them, but it might also be freeing in a minimalist sort of way.
If you want to execute commands on multiple remote hosts over SSH, just run a tmux session and launch a tab on each host in a loop and execute them.

It's far easier to follow the output and individually deal with prompts.
Red wine could reduce chances of Covid-19 infection, U.K. study suggests
Some state codes require use of galvanized steel piping (called EMT) for electrical conduit.
Story is pretty lacking. What do these cities have in common? What could be driving this change in those locations? Otherwise there's not really any new info? Even the report has limited info. Is it considered a problem that some cities see women earning 10-20% more than men? Did we create the same sort of problem we were trying to solve, or is there an explanation?
Is that like DID?
ORMs are fundamentally flawed (again)
That might describe SF. Or student dorms. Most cities I've been to aren't like that.
Keep in mind WiFi Alliance certification is an entirely optional process.
Sure, why not? THz wavelengths are between 3 mm and 30 μm which is not very large for an antenna but not anywhere near the limit of what we can make these days.
Stratego is another simple, deterministic game, but picking a successful strategy is far from simple.

I played it a lot as a kid, and came up with a strategy that beat everyone I played against 100%. I never let on what it was, to their frustration :-)

Risk was good, but I disliked the randomness of it. There wasn't a whole lot of strategy to it, being way too much dependent on the roll of the dice.
It's similar to rock-paper-scissors in this respect. Humans play in patterns rather than randomly, so you can actually win if you can predict the pattern.
The luxury housing around here goes to high earners from cities that are far away, and then wealthy people's adult children from all over the world move into the homes in the city after they leave. Housing here and in the cities has only gotten more expensive.
Maybe we could stuff thousands of bananas in a box.
What jobs pay surprisingly high that no one knows about?
About 20 years ago when I was a teenager Microsoft did this in my country with rock-paper-scissors. XML-RPC-based web services were new at the time and they promoted it this way. You hosted your own web service and they called it to play, I think 10 or 20 games against each opponent in your group. Obviously you can't get an edge against someone playing completely randomly but they placed a bunch of simpler bots in the groups that you could detect (e.g, always playing a pattern). Group winners made it to the final. It was awesome, thanks for reminding me of that memory!
Not for nothing, but, if you're a private developer looking to get the public's money to build something that you're going to sell and profit from either directly or through special tax breaks that the rest of us have to are up for, usually in special variance of zoning that the rest of us have to abide by, you SHOULD have to jump through a lot of hurdles to prove you aren't a grifter.
I worked on something like that for a while that I never finished. One of the stumbling blocks was executing untrusted code. I settled on having players either connect via websocket or receiving webhooks and having to respond in a given time frame.
No

First, Capitalism is vastly more compatible with democracy than is Autocracy.

Second, while the basis of Capitalism is a "Free Market(TM)", in reality, there is no free market - any market must be regulated in order to exist, whether the regulations are informal moral and ethical codes or formal sets of commercial laws and regulations that require large trucks to haul the full set (as in the US), and a set of courts to enforce them, or a combination of both.

What you are indicating as the problem for capitalism in relation to democracy is actually a problem of some implementations of democracy, which is regulatory and legislative capture by corporate interests. THAT has a serious possibility to get out of hand, undermine democracy, and exacerbate inequality.

No question, better tools are needed to reduce the influence of corporations in the democracy, but eliminating capitalism will not do that - what you will get is something like the old Soviet state, which sucked far worse than any capitalist state.
There is a very large difference between "much of" and "all". And we have at this time no way to distinguish which bits are in the "much of" and which the rest.

There is so very much of it that even were the actually-junk just 5% of that, it would still qualify as "much of".
tailscale!
I love how the game came without the labels pre-attached. Gone are the days of "some assembly required".
Right, you don't build affordable housing, and you don't even reserve housing as "affordable" (that's gratuitously inviting corruption via basically giving away underpriced housing as a 'gift' to cronies and associates). You build as much new housing as you can afford to, and let older housing filter down to "affordable" levels.
of course — so you have to make it accessible to the candidate. using the internal code base is probably not the best choice. we had them write up a small API with specific requirements in the tech of their choice, and tried to have someone programming with them familiar with their choice of tech.

It’s generally speaking not cheaper to refurbish something once you consider all of the factors. I’m on mobile so I can’t enumerate those but I’ll try to return on desktop where I can properly type and give an overview.
Don't be deliberately obtuse. Of course you were making an argument. You were making it sarcastically, to be sure, but it was still an argument dismissing the data presented as irrelevant because it doesn't purport to show the level of effort from the groups involved. And it's a spurious argument in any case, because the data presented still shows a major issue in the initial claim, which was that non-white students need to expend significantly more effort than white students to be accepted into the Ivy League, unless you happen to believe that (non-Jewish) white students for whatever reason expend much, much less effort than other demographics to join. If you think other factors are the cause of that, state them; don't just off-handedly and rudely dismiss people presenting valid contrary data.
No that's not it.
There is NOTHING about sound in that article. It is ALL about electromagnetic waves, which are NOT sound waves.

Sound waves are pressure variations in the air.
Electromagnetic waves do not require air. They are oscillations of an electric field, which can propagate in empty space.
Completely different wave phenomena.

The article has nothing at all to do with sound.

Of course, you can send acoustic information on an electromagnetic wave. That's how radio works. But it's not the sound wave that is transmitted by the radio station - it is the EM wave, with information about the sound wave encoded into it.
I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe I can help. Will email you to get details.

Well Putin has stated in his Feb 24 address that he does not intend to occupy Ukraine, so he's not bound by that in order to claim a win.
That's not how bike paramedics work. From your link:

> They are able to reach patients quickly and start to give life-saving treatment while an ambulance is on the way.

You still need an ambulance, because that person is going to need to go to hospital in nearly all cases except the most trivial "fell over while drunk" cases, and backies are impractical for the average person in need of a paramedic.

Worth remembering that they probably didn't want to, but they had to.
Its not about being left to professionals. This advice is to prevent suicide attempts by individuals who are feeling extremely negative with no hope. Psychedelics amplify your current state of mind. This means negative thought patterns are amplified, so an individual who may not have been suicidal previously may become so especially if they are alone.

Personally I think psychedelics should be freely available to any human that wants them, however I'm also aware of the dangers that these compounds can present and as a society we need to be aware and prepared to face these things. That includes the awareness that one should be careful about their mindset when they decide to use such a powerful tool.

I also agree that there are incompetent professionals, but this isn't about competency. Its about preventing suicide.
Personally I consider any "random" abberations to be symptoms of the hairy dog theorom: you cant comb all the hair to lie flat, somewhere on the spherical dog, you're going to get a cowlick, it is unavoidable

in the meantime, chirality is simply mirror symmetry : curious part to me, is how mirror symmetry works out as one half being the "inside out" version of the other, turn a left handed glove inside out and it will fit the right hand. Maybe points to 4th dimensional stuffs, I never could grok how to turn a sphere inside out without pinching

If you're in the US you have the Constitutional right to bear's arms. I'd choose grisly bear, or maybe panda.
Why? It's trivial to find examples. This is a hot button topic in the US- in particular, the now-in-vogue phrase "equity" replacing "equality".

Assuming zero-sum scenarios (such as hiring or school admissions) this is the basic premise behind affirmative action, and is why Ivy league schools (such as Harvard) and state schools (such as California) attempt to suppress Asian and white admittance in favor of black and brown:

The most particularly pernicious idea to become a meme is "decentering whiteness". The net result is that contributions from white people are devalued and deprioritized, effectively dehumanizing white people as though they were nothing more than the sum of their skin color. Examples from various organizations preaching it:

https://nonprofitquarterly.org/decentering-whiteness-buildin...

https://blogs.shipleyschool.org/decentering-whiteness-at-hom...

https://www.gettingsmart.com/2021/11/11/decentering-whitenes...

https://journals.aps.org/prper/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevPhysE...

There are no shortage of examples like these in classrooms, workplaces, churches and government services and training, expanding into every facet of society at an increasing rate. The core idea- that many of these things don't need to be structured around a particular culture- is fine. The implementation details, however, rarely are.
To be clear: there is NOTHING at all about sound in this article. The spectrum does not show a continuum from sound to light. It shows the electromagnetic spectrum, which does not contain any sound waves at all. One can encode acoustic information on an EM wave (that is how radios work), but the transmitted signal (from the radio tower to your radio receiver) is an EM wave, not a sound wave. The receiver converts the EM wave to the appropriate sound wave by decoding the information that was encoded into the EM wave, and using that information to drive a speaker.

Sound waves are pressure variations in the air. Thus they require air in order to propagate.

Electromagnetic waves are oscillations of an electric field (and also a magnetic field). These fields exist independent of air (or any other medium), so they can propagate in completely empty space.

These are two completely distinct phenomena. They both involve waves, but that's about all they have in common.
Ver helpful post. This is an under-covered topic especially for large code bases.

Anyone aware of efforts to pair these tools with tools to filter and examine different call paths to interactively explore a large code bases. A model like specifying a filter and having the view be filtered by paths that meet criteria.
On the other hand

- that is semantics (if you want the choice to exist, you're pro-abortion, existentially speaking)

A possibly dumb question. I know that ReactOS developers work by observing what the real Windows does, documenting that, and then reimplementing from those docs, instead of straight reverse engineering. This is supposed to avoid legal trouble. But wouldn't it be better to take a Windows installation and start replacing components, one by one, with open-source reimplementations, until there is none of the original proprietary Windows left?

Or, to rephrase it: what would happen if I took Windows XP and replaced the kernel (ntoskrnl.exe) with the one from ReactOS? Would that not be the ultimate binary and API compatibility test?
we should always be careful to distinguish between real racists and true racists.
I wonder how Solar Witch feels about the possible permanence of daylight savings time.
You have a point, but it may be a bit obtuse to call racist accusations themselves racist. Those call outs may or may not be correct, ignorant, or even a calculated dirty way to discredit someone, but how are they themselves racist?

Some people born with money don't like to think that the only thing that makes them special is the money they have, but didn't earn. Avoiding common endeavors, getting an engineering degree instead of being an artist or running a profitable company instead of a non-profit is a good way of not confronting the reality that in a competitive setting they would be crushed.
I know it's a generalization as there are plenty of hard working people born in wealthy families that take advantage of it, as they should, without deluding themselves.

How do you handle the obvious problems of churn and reviews at places like Glassdoor? I can just see it now:

"Interview was weak. They don't know what they're doing."

"Aced the interview. Fired after two weeks. Leadership doesn't know how to hire or manage."

"Never seen a place with so much churn. In the last six months, I've seen at least half a dozen engineers exit after two or three weeks."

Know what raises the level of difficulty for finding candidates? Shit reviews about the company. You can have the best tech but if you have a toxic smell, you can't hire. To the outside, perception is reality and reviews are how you get that perception. You can't do the opposite though and say "J Smith passed interview but we let them go after two weeks because they couldn't do more than pseudo code on a whiteboard." and even if you could, you'd look like a shit company and you'd still have an impossible time hiring but for other reasons.

This idea of quick hire/fire is so bad that all you have to do it go one or two steps further to find the obvious problems. But hey, start a company and use that model. See how it goes. Prove us all wrong.
I posted it because I thought the Russian perspective was worth knowing, not because I agree with it (retweet is not endorsement.) His attitude is pretty frightening actually because he thinks this thing is going to get much bigger. I feel like he is saying they will do whatever it takes to win. If that means attacking a NATO country, so be it. He says NATO is worthless because it doesn't obligate any country to actually go to war for another country in NATO. Not sure that's true, but that's what he says.

Apple used to do group interviews. If I recall I did two rounds of them in size interviews. One had two people in one then the other was the whole team of about 6 with the manager. There might have been a third group, can't recall. It was fun though.
"Why does symmetry reign supreme? Biologists aren’t sure — there’s no reason based in natural selection for symmetry’s prevalence in such varied forms of life and their building blocks."

Of course there is a natural selection reason - symmetrical structures are stronger.
Probably not as much as you would guess from talking to FAANG employees. It’s been fifteen years since my compensation exceeded the amount where it makes any difference to me. Now I want to have interesting problems, a business model I am not ashamed of, good and smart coworkers and decent conditions. I won’t be retiring early, which is fine: my work is almost always a fun and valued way I contribute to the world. One of the big problems with software ethics and the joy of solving problems is the influx of people choosing software not due to intrinsic affinity but just for money. Sometimes I wish more of them still went for law degrees or MBAs or surgery. It’s just a little sad to see someone who can make beautiful and useful software gems be dissatisfied because they didn’t get to be a CTO by the time they are thirty or the like.

In the 90s people getting a big software job where thrilled because they were going to change the world. My mom’s friends used stuff that ran my code. Now it seems like people want FIRE or multiple houses or lambos.

In reality older housing gets bought renovated and marketed as luxury housing, so the affordable housing is lost to the higher profit market.
More data doesn't help if the additional data points don't add information to the dataset.

At some point it's better to add features than simply more rows of observations.

Arguably text and images are special cases here because we do self supervised learning (which you cant do for self driving for obvious reasons).

What TSLA should have done a long time ago is keep investing in additional sensors to enrich data points, rather than blindly collecting more of the same.
