> Enums in Go are inferior but that doesn't stop you from using them in the same way.

It does, I have to think twice because I know I'm not getting the compile time features that Java offers, and may end up just using strings in an awkward manner.

> Go has the JFR it needs, not what Java has

That doesn't make sense. All programs need the JFR that Java has, otherwise you wouldn't see companies like Datadog doing well.

> But it seems like you want to hate Go. Why?

I've used it in several large projects at my employer, and in every single project, Java would have been a superior alternative. We've had issues that would not have happened in Java due to many things, such as better error handling in Java, enum support, better frameworks and libraries to interact with the DB, etc.

And no, golang is not known for being maintainable, it's just things that some people parrot without proof. It's basically marketing. There's nothing in the language that inherently makes it more maintainable than Java/C#/etc., and in fact, it has many things that make it less maintainable.
Handedness is a fact. I'm left-handed, but my passport doesn't need to say so. Why is it 'sensible' to include this? Shall we include my favourite foods as well?

It will likely be the same kind of path civilization had to using gold and silver as its primary currency for thousands of years.

If it happened for those metals, why do you think it's so unbelievable that it can happen for a superior form of digital gold?
Wowowowowowow. That’s so amazing! Good luck with this project. I’m impressed with what you’ve done so far and can’t wait to see how it turns out!

If it could work with the Mac client I remember it looking a bit different. I’m guessing that was all in the client itself.
What kind of things are people scrapping Insta for? I have a hard time with scrapping apps anyways, but at least some of it makes sense when making comparisons on prices or what not. But I'm just not imaginatve to come up with why you'd want to scrape obviously copyrighted images.

'*Also, I'm not an Insta user, so in my mind it is just a thread of images and comments. Maybe my understanding of Insta is off?

Speaking as someone who tries to elevate the careers of others based on their potential independent of their credentials…

I think if you’re working with really advanced topics, the credentials start to be meaningless, because the important fact is whether a candidate can truly work with complex concepts/technologies. You expect the candidate to come in already knowing what they need, and you don’t need any assurance that they’re “trainable.”

But for most of us here in the middle of the pack, the degree is more meaningful because it shows that at the very least, a candidate has been exposed to slightly higher-level concepts. As an example, when you’re trying to get someone to step up out of a help desk role into an analyst/developer role, that’s a lot easier to achieve with someone who’s had at least a degree’s worth of exposure to concepts of strategic thinking, lifecycle management, development methodologies, etc. Most of us don’t need to be passionate geniuses to do good work. For us non-geniuses, the conceptual “scaffolding” provided by academia opens up a lot of potential. I definitely believe that some people don’t need the degree, but they probably aren’t the average Joe.

This is very true. I live in a state that I don't much care for poltics-wise, but I have a lot of family and friends here, which makes it 100% worth it.
The problem with agreeing to the original ask of giving up more land is that it just continues to escalate. in 2014 already Russia took Ukraine and a chunk of Eastern Ukraine. If you give up more this year, what happens in 10 years? Russia will just ask again. Its the same all around the Russian borders. Putin is a thug who just demands more for himself. If you dont fight him now you'll be doing it next year.

Found this on a bike forum, posted two days ago:

"On March 24th, 2022, I was riding my bike near the beach in San Francisco down a slight slope. My hands were on my brakes to make sure the bike was in control. About 150 feet ahead of me, a vehicle suddenly stopped in the middle of the road. To avoid oncoming traffic, I veered towards the vehicle's right, which suddenly moved directly in front of me.

At that point, I could not avoid impact and crashed through the vehicle's back window with my bike. As I lay on the road, I saw that the car that hit me did not have a driver."

Does this happen in any other field? If I was a doctor and wanted to work at some other company, would I need to study the MCAT every year in order to pass a screening interview based on one possible question? What's the equivalent in other fields? Closest I can think of is an acting audition but even then they give you the script beforehand. I'm beginning to think that the industry somehow settled on this approach not so much as a skills verification process but, by making the process so onerous on the candidate, talent retention is a lot easier.
A stablecoin is basically a bank, unregulated or poorly regulated.

If the total outstanding coins isn't fully backed by real USD, then that bank will eventually run.

Fine if you just need to conduct a transaction. You can risk it. Not fine to hold. Not particularly relevant to Lebanon.

The question of "what is a better visual data model than VisiCalc" is just one of the questions we can ask ourselves about how to create Excel 2.0. In the authors original post, they point out that Notion and Coda answer this question not with an evaluation on "cells" and the data model, but rather by extending the model to include a word processor. This isn't a purely visual change, but a functionality/integration one.

There are a bunch of different angles to consider the evolution of a spreadsheet, and, as I say in my response above, I personally think focuses on changes to the UI/display of data miss the point: what's missing in Excel 1.0 isn't a better display of data - IMO, it's giving the modern, powerful analysis tools that us programmers have access to the beginner-end of the programmer spectrum!

Different spreadsheet startups certainly have different theses on this. Subset [1] (the OP) seems to focus on side-by-side grids on an infinite canvas. Monday [2] (also referenced by OP) seems to focus on different "views" for a spreadsheet for project tracking, etc. Mito focuses on allowing you to integrate Python and spreadsheets as easily as possible. Clay [3] seems to focus on spreadsheet integrations into APIs/other data.

(Disclaimer: all the above are just my understandings of these tools, but I haven't used most of them directly mostly am just going of marketing materials... I highly recommend you check them out, though - they all look quite cool!)

My post def was a plug for Mito - I'll try and make my response to the post/thesis more clearly delineated in the future. I think this post is an awesome chance to get feedback on our spreadsheet thesis (and potentially hear back from OP on this thoughts!).

Rock on, spreadsheets :-)

+1 And a future job might disallow you from using VSCode for some arcane reason. Why would that happen? well workplaces do weird things sometime.. Whereas they can't really stop you from using vim. :)
You don't need to go through all the steps involving HDMI. Linux can create framebuffers on I2C/SPI displays like this. Many years ago, I connected two to a Beaglebone and it ran Emacs just fine. Much device tree hacking is involved, though, unfortunately.
>No version control

Umm, put your excel file in git repo if you really need to? That's like saying C++ doesn't have version control.

>no debugging

Debug what exactly? If you have vb scripts, then yes you can debug. If you just have formulas.. there is literally nothing to debug.

>brittle support for automation

Ok, but that's also kind of the point. Excel should not be some insane thing where people do way too much. It's a spreadsheet with formulas- and that is what it's goal is. People who use excel with thousands of lines of VB code should literally be using something else 99% of the time.

>Excel, to me, is the single most obvious sign that we must get rid of the giant tech monopolies to re-enable innovation in software.

There is basically nothing to "innovate" related to excel. It's exactly what is needed. If you want to innovate then write your own damn spreadsheet that does some new magic you think of.

Why are you trying to overcomplicate a simple 2d spreadsheet?

>Excel is seriously killing humanity

Excel is doing the exact opposite. You are a fool saying that- excel is so freaking simple yet so powerful. Sounds like you might live in academic lala land and have never worked at a business where there are a billion different types of things to do and simple spreadsheets can generally cover most cases.

I think you hit the nail on the head. My governor appeared to be bending over backwards to vaccinate minority neighborhoods while at the same time it was incredibly hard for people with qualifying conditions to get a vaccine. This anecdote isn't the same as rigorous data, but it doesn't appear to matter to the people in my life who it impacted. Their trust in the government has been shattered.
I think that main strength is familiarity and low learning curve. You can easily build and MVP with a spreadsheet. Understand your data, relations, patterns. The trap occurs later when you need to scale it
Completely off-topic, but k8s actually removes a lot of the vendor lock-in. Imagine having to migrate a k8s based app from AWS to Azure vs a pure AWS-based setup, provisioned with cloudformation. Sure it'll involve some work, but I know what I'd pick. I've personally ran workloads originally intended to be deployed on GKE on on-prem openshift clusters with very few changes, other than indeed the mentioned ingress stuff.

That was also the initial goals of k8s - make it universal so it's adopted as a standard by everyone else to make yourself competitive against the AWS juggernaut. And it worked.
Racket allows for macro/exec, but it strictly controls the namespace for both of these things. The former mainly via hygienic macros and the latter via requiring exec to be given a namespace to execute in.

I think allowing things like NSFunctionExpressions are ok, but you need to have an explicit namespace, and the default needs to be an empty namespace, not the current/full namespace. Having a default is a good idea because if you don't add one as an API designer, other people creating wrappers around your library will, so at least try to make the default safe. It sounds like that is somewhat similar to your idea of registering a function.
I agree.

There are just not enough statically typed languages that don't use a GC.
There is almost an insight here.
I agree with you. I am not recommending it. It has all the problems you mentioned. I wanted to share that out there there are some decent companies doing this and it works for them / it does not need to be a red flag.
> They decided to break apart into many small, weak nations, due to the selfish interests of the different types of agricultural interests being pursued in each area

We've had some advances in integration. Many of them in the early 2000s when most of the Central American governments were at the moment right wing.

Unfortunately the left/right wing divide slowed down many integration attempts.

> But they could borrow ideas from the EU. They couuld reunify.

We've tried to do some of them, with the SICA (our EU equivalent) with varying degrees of success or failure.

Some of the successful ones are having our electricity grid interconnected, and the uniform customs regulation for Central America.

Some of them have great potential but are not widely used or promoted, like SIPA, the regional interbank payments that could be like the EU's SEPA but is not widely known, as even if banks use them internally, they still charge SWIFT prices to the end customers.

Others like the CA4, our Schengen free-movement-like-agreement, have been reinterpreted so many times that the spirit of the agreement is now only a fraction of what it originally was.

Then we have some private initiatives like Claro's popular free voice and data roaming in all Central America except Belize.

Others used to be great, but have been limited in the past year due to excessive regulations, like some private banking groups Central Ameican banking services, which used to offer easy and affordable inter country bank transfers but now they are very limited and expensive.

Some we lack completely, like the easier mobility between countries that EU citizens have. Even now, moving countries between Central America without family ties is expensive, difficult or even next to impossible.
The regulation would induce upside for customers.
What I'm doing now:

Investing in agriculture, energy, and commodities.

I set aside a certain amount of money and buy a little gold/silver each month.

At some point I need to have the cost-of-living raise conversation with my employer, though they are clearly planning for a slow down in business at the moment, so I'm not sure wages are going to keep up with inflation once the recession is in full swing.
I'll take high local taxes over high state taxes any day.

It's an order of magnitude easier to influence decisions in my town vs. my state. The other thing is that it's also much easier to leave my town if I don't like the decisions made. Sure, I can move states too, but that's a much bigger hassle than moving 10 minutes down the road.
Ah, okay. I misinterpreted what you were saying.
Also interesting to note that I just discovered that in the summer of last year, 2021, Mr. Daszak was recused from the Lancet's Covid commission. Hmmm.

Something this articles glosses over is that some of these approaches, especially the way 'All builds are “locked”' is achieved with minimum version selection, and “A little copying is better than a little dependency” are tradeoffs against an alternative security model, where transitive dependencies are automatically updated to pick up security fixes.

Part of the churn and noise in the Node.js dependency ecosystem actually stems from security-related issues being noted in a low-level module, and the ripple effects caused by that when a bunch of maintainers have to go around bumping lockfiles and versions.
The simple answer is: this is not legal and also doesn't work at scale. Try running this type of scaling for a few thousand profiles - you will quickly be restricted.
Is it really a large and sweeping change, or a tiny change that’s far less difficult to implement in our politically gridlocked country than anything requiring legislation?
Also the case for me with Excel on macOS. The Windows version of Excel, on the other hand, has been a lot more performant and stable for me.

I agree with your assessment that this idea is naïve. The sort of biases that you referred to are subtly and pervasively distributed through all of the different schematic and ideological methods that we use for choosing language. This means that your filter list would be untennably large and difficult to construct because of how broad it would be. Moreover, these sorts of biases often are based on less than liminal evaluation metrics. It's not just that hiring companies look at POC candidates and say "nope" based on a name or photo. Instead, they are drawing from pools of candidates like high-end computer science programs, which often have already done the work of exclusion all ready, because of costs or admission requirements. Or they are basing their hiring decisions on having prior experience in internships, which often don't pay enough for the high cost cities in which they are located to support folks without additional means (from parents or relatives) to manage living expenses.

Long story short, if you really want to address this problem (or implicit bias in hiring) there is actually a huge literature coming out of business schools, public administration schools, and our of corporate DEI initiatives. Software driven support for these efforts is a crucial part of moving them forward, and you should definitely spend some more of your weekends brainstorming on this!
Is there any statistical reason I should assume an interviewer at FAANG has some kind of special insight into what good technical and communication skills are? Were any attempts made to adjust for demographic biases? Is it possible, for instance, that Dropbox engineers are disproportionately taller white dudes with nice hair? I know that sounds a bit unserious, but all of those factors would increase the likelihood of a higher score.

I appreciate that you never used "rockstar" or "ninja". That dig was a bit unfair of me.
Cardboard Boxes with Custom Designs at Wholesale Prices
In your everyday life, you will come across cardboard boxes. These boxes may be used for a variety of things. They are made entirely of a tough and durable material that really can endure wear and tear as well as environmental abrasions. As a result, corrugated cardboard boxes are an excellent alternative for transporting and storing a wide range of products available on the market. These boxes are highly suggested and utilized if you need to pack your freshly introduced smokes, children's toys or cereals, jewels, or need to send your things from one location to another. Many various features, including as compartments, handles, and partitions, may be incorporated to these boxes.
I'm sure that applies in some cases, but it doesn't seem universally true. Personally, I hate exercising but I do it because the epidemiologists say I should. And I love drinking, but I don't because the epidemiologists say I shouldn't. Smoking has declined pretty significantly over the past several decades, no?
> People are irrational, they value things that don’t necessarily cost more to make

That’s not irrational. It doesn’t cost any more to make a lemon cake than a chocolate cake but a lemon cake is more valuable to me because I don’t like chocolate. Perfectly rational.

It's not half important enough to me to justify buying more equipment.

Especially when there is no technological barrier that keeps us from having software do it automatically. I'm not going to buy gear to do something I fully expect the software to be capable of in the next year or two.

Until then, searching paper with my eyeballs once in a great while is less work than procuring and maintaining a document feeder or pressing a button three thousand times, no matter how convenient that button is.
Go is a distillation of many decades of software engineering experience. The people behind Go (e.g., Russ Cox) have learned from history.

The peanut gallery loves to complain about superficial aspects of Go. Typically these are people with little or no actual experience using the language and tools. They fixate on imagined problems that don't matter in practice.

But anyone who has used Go full-time for a few years is likely to deeply respect and appreciate it.
Doesn't USDT remain famously overleveraged and just one bank-rush away from an economic crisis?
Its outside of what we would expect in the United States, but dystopian is hyperbolic. They don't want to tolerate racism there. Racism is bad so I can understand. The US is an outlier in how extreme our speech protections go. Even with this England tolerates far more transgressive speech than many other parts of the world. I can't even list the number of places where it's dangerous or illegal to criticize the political class. That's dystopian. This is just different from what you're used to.
I suppose the connection between those two ideas is obvious, but I never thought about them as related. Thanks for making that point.

I'm going to use this argument to try and trick my angry relatives into supporting Obamacare next Thanksgiving.
> This is dystopian. Apparently they are trying to send a teenager to jail because of a single tweet:

Being jailed for a single tweet on its own is dystopian, there's no need to appeal to feelings about this being done to children.
You're interesting when talking about Excel's deficiencies. But you ruin your comment with talk about "killing humanity" and "giant tech monopolies". HN is not a place to get swept away by emotion.
The cantilever design is indeed an elegant solution, though it can make it a little more difficult to hit the top row of keys.

I was thinking that this laptop is kind of like a Pi 400 + battery + screen. If we look at is this way, then what the OP wanted is kind of already available - you can buy portable computer monitors.

Interestingly, the Pi 400 + screen is kind of a "smart" keyboard combined with a "dumb" monitor, while the iPad Pro + Magic Keyboard is a kind of "dumb" keyboard combined with a "smart" monitor. It seems like both approaches have advantages and disadvantages.
Gains in fundraising can’t shake off losses for minority founders in 2021
I don't follow this topic closely but it is definitely in a legal grey area and under frequent debate (and lawsuits).

To highly summarize...

A frequent allegation is that this is unauthorized access of computer systems. The scrapers argue that this is public data so they are just accessing it. Their access isn't meaningfully different from regular users which are allowed. From their point of view if the service doesn't want to share the data they shouldn't make it available.

Another common accusation is breaching the ToS. Generally the defense is that they didn't agree to any contract.

A last effort is some sort of copyright. Generally the scrapers will argue that that the data can't be copyrighted, isn't owned by the service or that some sort of license was given (back to the public data argument).

Of course every case is different and has different points but these are the common ones that I have seen.
