It's hard, dangerous, unpleasant work. And you have to live in small towns where the oil boom has raised the cost of living crazy high. And it's cyclical -- you might make $200k with a high school diploma this year, but in 2 years you'll be unemployed again.

> Before you move, make sure to talk to your manager about performance and time zone expectations, as well as your availability for team gatherings.

Work from anywhere but ask your manager from where you can work. Also I want you here each three months for a one-week gathering, and if you're senior I want you to gather even more often. "The most flexible policy in the world" people are calling it LOL It's great a company like Airbnb does this, but come on!
I want to specify Option<T> with exhaustive pattern matching as the only way to extract the value out of the container is the safest way.

Optionals without this feature/restriction are actually the same as a null.

if(optional_value.has_value())

if(value != NULL)

Both of the above checks are STILL required or it's an error. Optionals only propagate the null to another method call. There has to be exhaustive pattern matching for this feature to truly shine.

That seems remarkably optimistic, given the recent history of US tax policy (recent == last 200 years or so).
If you are short on money, the generate one. Then read a few that are similar to your space. Then edit the generated one to better describe your actual practices. When you have money, pay a lawyer to update it.

IANAL.
Depression is something I once struggled with. Mushrooms I think actually helped, but I think drugs etc are only going to go so far.

What really helped is that at any moment in time you can take a mental snapshot of your life, in essentially an instant, and from there decide to move up instead of down. A beauty to this, even if you fail to lift yourself, you can do the same thing again at a new moment. FWIW if anything
Thank you, I was searching on the front page and didn't find those example. Would be good to add this.

Isn't this even worse in Rust?
I don’t care particularly much about privacy.

This is a nuanced view where there are specific privacy features I care about in some circumstances. But I don't really care about the strong privacy against corporates or government that some do.

This view is informed by my migration from being strongly privacy focused in the 1990s and a subsequent careful analysis of actual harm.

Also I'd note that Snapchat is a great example of this. Privacy for things I care about but little from corporate advertising or governments.
These aren’t really new though. These are simply bringing old-school reliable SQL directly into Python. Hopefully Python “data” people will stop using godforsaken tools like pandas or spark and finally embrace what the rest of us have been using for decades.
Don't be surprised if a later law piggybacks onto this and requires similar filters for preventing the spread of "terrorist" content, then "foreign disinformation".

I bet CSAM will also be mentioned, because then they could start calling opponents pedophiles.
> This is entirely the fault of the FAANG hiring methods

I would say it is more of a fault of compensation structures.

Why would one stay for 3 years and get very meh comp increases every year, when they can switch to another company and instantly get a 30-40%+ increase (up to a point). It is also somewhat disheartening to see new hires get paid significantly more than you are for the same level.
I remember the same, I'm quite tall but I had a few short friends who were very popular.

I have the impression that this is mostly a problem among younger people. The "only men over 6 inches" that people report seeing on Tinder feels almost like a meme that women are taking too seriously.
I just quickly looked at it. It seems to be nice by a quick glance. I will look at it in depth. Thank you for your suggestion :)

Yeah it think it has it's roots in prejudice. I don't think society is at the point where i can say otherwise. Black women constantly get the short end of the stick on all dating apps across racial groups. On top of that because a large percentage of black mothers end up single mothers. There is also the part of how the black males behave towards them. But that is a different story all together. I am not getting into that.

(Apologies if I’m misunderstanding and you already know this.)

Not specifying a register (e.g. "0) just means the commands, including x and p, will use the " register, aka the unnamed register. By itself, p is equivalent to ""p.

:reg shows you all the registers and their current contents.

This seems like a good description: https://www.brianstorti.com/vim-registers/

Edit: Oh I guess you are saying it was unexpected that delete or change commands clobber yanked contents of the unnamed register.
The Spectrum came out in 01982, only a few months after the IBM PC. That was long before IBM's monopoly power (well, and Ziff-Davis) had redefined "PC" to mean "IBM PC compatible". The Amiga and Macintosh didn't exist yet. Most "personal computers" ran CP/M at the time.

Since this research doesn't mention some hard to quantify ties, it missed on the painting the picture of the most interesting actual family in mathematics: the Bernoullis. Brothers Jacob and Johann sprung up seemingly out of nowhere to continue Leibnitz's work in Basel as some of Europe's greatest mathematicians of their time.

The most remarkable part is how Johann tutored the son of a local pastor, a friend of the family. After noticing his talent, he convinced the father to let the young boy focus on mathematics instead of joining the clergy. That young boy was Euler, and when we add Johann's son Daniel into consideration (who turned out to be a mathematician of similar caliber to his father) I'd venture to say that there is an actual family at the core of modern mathematics that would by itself be an object of study.
You mean “choose from one of the really cool hats made by the community and add it to the game”.
The article doesn't mention Moleskine once, yet it seems several comments are about that brand. What's going on there?

Notebooks should be about utility first. I have a Staples brand of 3.5 x 5.5" notepads that come in 3-packs. They are almost exactly passport-sized in terms of height, width and thickness, so they fit perfectly in a pocket, to the point where it's almost invisible. Once I'm done with them, I can store them in an index card box.

THAT for me has been the key to taking paper notes consistently. Create a situation where the friction to start writing on a pad in my pocket is lower than pulling out your phone and getting distracted by a lock screen notification before you can even open the notepad app.
Elon Musk would have to be entirely ignorant to social discourse to not have understood what this article concerns over for a long time now; of course, that’s the assumption they want you to make. If any of these people cared about disinformation they would not play into the polarizing propaganda Russia and China inject into Western Nations.
Thank you for your response! So the best strategy to maintain tech debt and keep it manageable is to fit dragons with it into your teams overall time budget. That definitely feels more realistic than trying to keep it from happening at all

What I Learned from Friends and Family Fundraising
I personally prefer to take notes digitally, which allows me to search through and organize better.

However, when it comes to learning a language or writing fiction, I really find physically writing on paper much better, especially for retaining new vocabulary in memory and mastering a new alphabet.

There is something to be said about the feel of paper, too. If I only have a little notepad in my pocket it helps but if I want to keep something, like a journal, it is nice to search and find the paper that is suitable to the task, which works well with certain inks/pens. Never ocurred to me to keep a log of which notebooks I've used, that's a nice way to compare the experience of different types of binding/papers.

For sure. I was thinking of human beings (all life forms maybe), not just men.
Calm down, no one claimed to speak for you.

I come from a country where 6 ft.+ is considered pretty tall so I totally believe that this type of metric is not universal. In fact, there is no real analogue there and I have never heard of a female mentioning a specific height as a preference.

It was a total culture shock to me how big of a deal your height as a number is in parts of the US culture which frankly I find vacuous and sickening.

I mainly blame this on the toxic culture on the "dating" apps. (Also perhaps the imperial measurement system? lol). I guess those who knowingly participate in it have accepted the terms of use.
I’m sure that can be put into some company’s next Oracle licensing true up.

Yup, all one repo fortunately. The majority of changes were in 3 class library projects, each of which is referenced by web portal, API, and nightly jobs projects. I'd imagine it could be quite painful if scattered in various repos!
How hard is this for a new OS to implement ?

Yet another way in which something labeled "smart" has a negative connotation...

Whatever technology is adopted would then have to be purchased and implemented by anyone swept up by the law—from big tech platforms to your local research library.

Big Tech aren't going to be the ones worried --- they are probably more likely to be the ones pushing for more of this shit. We already have nearly-mandatory software in the form of the browser near-monopoly, locked-down walled gardens, and the like.

Stallman's "Right to Read" is worth reading again whenever something like this comes up.
I concede it's arguable which discrimination is of a bigger magnitude, but it doesn't matter. MLK's whole point was that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. That specifically means that no matter how small the injustice is, as long as it's the same class of injustice (prejudice), it's a threat to justice elsewhere.
If the device pictured is the one really used, I find it hard to believe that the procedure is not quite painful. In particular the insertion of the device shown would appear to displace the bone marrow which contains nerves.
I use beancount ( a plaintext accounting tool) and yeah, I feel it's a coherency challenge among developers who have different preferences around structure and workflow that makes it a challenge.

The importers have historically erred towards being something the user writes on their own. But there's also some powerful helper tools for importing but they carry a different user experience than the other tool for financial reports & visualization.

Im starting to think a unified experience (think vscode + built-in extensions) for it all might help align intentions and broaden the userbase of plaintext accounting.
I also had nothing to do with picking my ancestors. I agree, it's not a dice roll in the physical sense; it's connected to previous DNA.

I've always wondered why today we dont have people like them. Is science stagnating (aka Law of diminishing returns)?

I was on call “back in the day” when a customer rang to tell me that she’d meant to type:

# find /tmp -exec rm {} /;

But instead she’d typed

# find / tmp -exec rm {} /;

I learned a lot about Unix (and, as it happens, X windows) file systems that week. Note that this was long before tools like sudo existed, where cleaning up tmp was often a manual process.

There is no way we could blame a person for a single keystroke error - it’s crazy that the command worked - but I now look at the find command with an enormous amount of fear.
I should add, there are ways to digitize written notes. I personally don't do this, but I know of projects like Paper Website. Just something to keep in mind.
The point of paper notes is not to use them as a sole source of truth. If you're jotting something down, it's probably an outline or some sort of shorthand that needs to be cleaned up.

Paper notes are most effective if you go through them 1x a week and upload the important parts to a digital store. This process helps clarify my thinking as I get to reflect on my recent thoughts and prioritize the most important ones.
My first company did that through the 2008 recession and it was really nice of them. Nobody got raises and nobody got bonuses (which significantly impacted higher-ups more as much more of their pay consisted of bonuses). The three co-founders barely even took any salary at all.

But no one was laid off. All that happened was that one guy who had temporarily left to finish a master's degree wasn't rehired as expected (I think it also didn't help that he wasn't that good).

Which is kind of a fascinating thing if you note that Zelensky is clearly shorter than him by about an inch (~5'5"), and I have yet to see anyone make a comment about his height.
Yeah, it’s a lot of work. I used to manually budget with Google Spreadsheets but eventually threw in the towel and gave into Mint. I still have to go in and manually change certain categories or add tags, but it’s way less work than what I was doing before.
That’s not dysgenic. If you’re in an environment and supplements are available and you function best with them, that’s just a food source you’re adapted to. I don’t go around calling people poorly adapted for needing oxygen and vitamin C.

Calm down. Your reply is outrageously angry.

If you had bothered to read my post with care, you'd perhaps noticed the nuance where I said height can be a soft unspoken preference, which indeed is widespread.

I objected specifically against this preference becoming a rock hard criteria at some weird absolute point, say 6". That is a societal trend. It's culture, not biology. It's the hardening of a criteria that has led to the guy in the article being so desperate to do a ridiculously dangerous, painful and expensive surgery to "grow" a few inches. If you think it's normal that society sorts people into attractive or unattractive based on 4 inches, I don't know what to say to you.

As for the citation you requested, I come from the land featuring the tallest men in the world: the Netherlands. My 6"4 means absolutely nothing here. There's tons of people towering an additional head above me.

Even in this perfect shopping mall for women as it comes to height, I've never once heard a single woman turn it into a hard demand. There's plenty of short men here too, several of my friends are, they're all doing fine in dating. So no, it's not a thing here from my anecdotal experience. Preferences may still exist, but not in the sickening way where you completely filter out people based on such superficial and useless "quality".

I don't think I said that the world is falling apart, that escalation is on you. In all your rage you're missing the forest for the trees.

But do double down on your superficial attractiveness. You might get a foot in the door, after which true selection begins. Good luck, young one.
How about OCaml? I studied it alongside SML and liked it a bit better. Whenever something in SML struck me as a poor design choice, I looked over and saw that Caml had done something about it. (I felt the "O" was a completely unnecessary addition.)
That's how it always goes. There's always a boom and bust in the oil industry.
Fun fact: Noto = No Tofus, referring to the blank rectangular frames you get when your font is missing a character. The Noto fonts are particularly awesome for multilingual text because they do indeed cover everything.
I get what you're saying, but taken to an extreme, every language would be the same (or, we'd only have one language). After you get used to a subjective alternative it becomes the new normal.
I've been thinking about this lately at work, where we do a bunch of stuff with a pile of python scripts built around csv files and pandas.

This post prompted me to give pyarrow a spin and WOW did it load the CSVs fast compared to what I'm used to. That said, I'm not entirely sure what to do with them from there. When I tried table["col"] it gave back a list of lists (maybe because of the multi-threaded loading?). And while the article talked about "querying" the arrow files with duckdb, how easy is it to work with them otherwise, in terms of updating them? And what about non-SQL style updates? Sometimes you just have to do an itertuples or apply and do random non-declarative modifications to the data.
> if only browsers started supporting webassembly/python stack out of the box!!

This seems highly unlikely. Each browser maker would have to have two teams now (one for JavaScript and one for Python). An additional language would add a new security/hacking vector. They would need to keep both languages at parity which would probably slow development and make testing much more complicated. Would JS and Python be able to both work on the same web page at the same time? What if both tried to interact with the same element at the same time? This is just thoughts off the top of my head. I’m sure the real issues would be much more complicated.
I'm not sure what any of this has to do with the issues of scaling Mastodon during a burst of growth.
