This is anecdotal, but just wanted to give an example that I've personally experienced.

We used to race go karts with Rotax engines, and the local series organizers decided to mandate 91 octane pump gas ("cost saving measure") as opposed to the VP racing fuel that the engine was designed to use.

The end result was that all the racers ended up having excessive carbon buildup in the cylinder, and would go through several sets of the fuel pump internals every year. The fuel pump is a pulse driven flexible element that the pump gas (containing ethanol) would just destroy.

Never had those issues with the ethanol free VP fuel.
My comment was a suggestion as to why you might be receiving downvotes.

This thread isn’t the place to exercise your need to express your disapproval and/or suspicion of the author regarding their previous posts. If you’d like to have a direct conversation with the author, there’s plenty of contact info on their website. All you’re doing is dragging this post down into more useless argumentation about something that has already been covered again and again in the previous posts.
Good luck Brendan!

One project that I would find really interesting would be to leverage the insane capabilities of GPUs and 3d graphics to make extremely detailed visualizations of millions and billions of performance events, intervals, code paths, data structures, heat maps, and the like. It'd be great to get views beyond the raw data that are not oversimplified and useless, but rather to get the feeling of being at the helm of some seriously detailed (and precise!) data with zoomable resolution and a lot of assistance of analyzers to surface visual artifacts. I think it'd be both entertaining and highly productive to engage our visual cortex more.
> The sad part? With almost 10 years on a 20-30 year old code base with many millions of lines of code that are littered with TODOs, I don't think the presence of a TODO was ever helpful when we decided to actually fix an issue.

Makes perfect sense. TODOs are comment, meaning they're as reliable as comments, meaning they often aren't (and the more time passes and code churns around them the less they are).
Setting that up was not part of the 20% effort that delivers 80% of the value ;).

I think there is some room to innovate before we get to that point. For instance, they could educate students on the economic and ecological costs of food waste, and equip them with tools to reduce it, like associating certain levels of hunger with visible portion sizes, or putting in electronic scales so students are shown how much of each food they eat.

We do waive attack related charges. We're not interested in making money on bandwidth. We have a blog post with a few more details here: https://fly.io/blog/we-cut-bandwidth-prices-go-nuts/

That said, bandwidth does cost money. There are three ways we could handle it:

1. Charge as little as we can get away with, be transparent about it, eat the cost when someone has a negative experience.

2. Charge for bandwidth capacity, but don't meter it (ie: give VMs unmetered 100mb interfaces).

2. Don't charge for it, call it unlimited, put a hidden cap in place, and restrict what kinds of apps can run on the platform.

We opted for #1. I could give you a lot of post hoc reasoning, but the reality is that it's what I'd prefer as a customer. Companies that promise "unlimited bandwidth" feel a little slimy to me. Amos wouldn't be able to run his video hosting on one of those platforms.

Unmetered interfaces with restricted throughput do seem pretty nice. I've used a bunch of services like that. The cost to get started is high, though. And in my experience, the quality is poor. I've never had worse network performance than when I was paying for an unmetered network connection. Which makes sense, because these people attract all the users who want cheap, unmetered bandwidth. And they can't really afford to build enough upstream network capacity to handle all of them.

I don't love surprise expenses any more than you do. I do think we picked the least bad option, though, even though it puts some people off.
I got similar focus. Do you work with Erlang? It seems that all BEAM work on LinkedIn is Toptal Elixir positions...

There are 43 quintillion cube states, so "trillions" is understating by at least a factor of 10^6.

I'm not sure if the 43 quintillion are reachable in a loop of that many moves, or if you need to backtrack through some states to reach others and thus need more moves than that.

As annoying as the constant goalpost moving is in AI, it's also true that how these models fail is much more interesting than how they succeed. That's where all the information is. Dalle-2 is better at some things than others. Why? What's a limitation of the model, and what's an accident of architecture? I'm reminded of GPT-3's difficulty rhyming and doing math, which seems to be a result of the tokens it was trained on, compared with trailing off and inconsistency which may be more foundational.

Thanks! I kind of got that sort of vibe from descriptions of Troika I found online, but I looked for a quickstart and couldn't locate it, so I wasn't sure.

What I don't understand is what common elements Troika and Electric Bastionland, for example, share with Dungeon Crawl Classics or Old School Essentials. They seem to me like completely different kinds of game, in tone, mood, rules, and everything else besides.

Not that this is a bad thing, I just get confused about what's OSR and a bit frustrated that it seems a bit cliquey in the end. Like you gotta be an insider to get it and if you don't get it then you don't need it explained.
I can't say much about its usability, but you don't need to pay to download Fritzing if you're on Linux (or Windows with WSL) because it's available for free in the usual places (https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.fritzing.Fritzing, https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/fritzing, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fritzing). You only have to pay if you download the official distribution version.

First, pretty much everything in the lite-hobby space is done with microcontrollers, Arduino being the most mature ecosystem. Arduino is a really fancy wrapper/standard around the AVR ATMegas, I would start here. Arduino is an Open Source project so many manufactures create an Arduino-compatible board, but i do recommend supporting them and buying your first Arduino UNO from them directly if you are able to. Arduino provides software and an easy way to interface with pinouts. Start by doing some of the sample projects and tutorials, you'll pickup some basic electrical theory along the way.

Next, you will eventually ask the question of how to make a production board, where you may go down the rabbit hole of programming the AVR directly (the microcontroller), which I recommend as a jumping off point into raw microcontrollers and using an ICSP which an Arduino UNO can also do for you.

Somewhere along this path, you will want to gather some more advanced knowledge of circuits and DC fundamentals. Pick up a set of 7400 logic chips and learn how logic gates work from the lowest level possible as well as op-amps, comparators, etc.

You'll find every chip (IC or integrated circuit) speaks in either a protocol/bus or just logic levels (pins going high or low). When more than a bit or so of data is required to be transferred, ICs will implement a general-purpose digital interface like I2C (most common), SPI, or UART. There are some additional ones like I2S (for audio), 1wire (for one wire communication), CAN bus (what your car likely uses), and there are some more advanced ones like PCI (the same kind bus your PCI slots in your computer uses), MII (media independent interface), etc. Most of the time, you are just connecting together devices on a bus (for example I2C can support multiple devices because it's addressed) or finding ways to convert one to another (for example, you might want to communicate in RS232 via your UART bus).

There is also analog which is a whole different beast.

This is all a big simplification, but honestly it's not that unapproachable these days, just start small and build from there.
> Something I've built for myself a couple times is the ability to decorate a test with a ticket number so that the test is expected to pass if an environment variable (usually TICKET) is set to that number, and otherwise is expected to fail.

I don't understand that use case.

Do you mean that if you set the envvar, the test now becomes "normal" because the assumption is you're trying to fix the ticket, and thus make the test pass?

I guess that makes sense if your workflow is to "clock in" on tickets, to which you can hook env updates?
As an engineer running his own business, that had to learn all those skills the hard way, I can tell you - you can't.

The job of a startup CEO is a 100% full-time hustling. Use observation and negotiation skills to strike deals that will benefit them (the CEO) in the long run. If the CEO is one of the founders (or hired by investors with proper skills in setting incentives and making contracts), the benefit of the CEO will be aligned with the benefit for the company. If a bunch of engineers lacking these skills hire a CEO excelling at them, the CEO's first priority will be to replace the founding engineers with someone replaceable and loyal as soon as the chance of a payoff appears on the horizon. It sucks for the company long-term, but it happens left and right, because that's the job of a CEO - take advantage of suckers that cannot negotiate and hustle. And there are numerous shenanigans in their arsenal to pull that off (stock dilution, creative voting rights/board structure, etc).

The best advice I can give you as an engineer - you can rewire your engineering brain to do all those things. Just like you study examples for a framework before starting to use it, research what similar companies do, how do they find customers, how do they handle pitches, etc., and try to replicate it. Just as you may conclude "I need a better PC to build this library" you will likely think "I need better presentation skills to give that speech", so go ahead and practice them! Join your local Toastmasters, try to launch a blog and get some consistent followers, set goals and accomplish them. Once you get the hang of it, you'll see it's no different from having to refactor your code to avoid drowning in exponentially rising complexity. Just another skill to acquire and use.
Spacelift | Remote | Europe | Full-time | Senior Software Engineer | $80-120k

We're a VC-funded startup building an automation platform for Infrastructure-as-Code, adding a Policy-as-Code layer above it, in order to make IaC usable in bigger companies, where you have to take care of state consistency, selective permissions, a usable git flow, etc.

On the backend we're using 100% Go with AWS primitives. We're looking for backend developers who like doing DevOps'y stuff sometimes (because in a way it's the spirit of our company), or have experience with the cloud native ecosystem. Ideally you'd have experience working with an IaC tool, i.e. Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, or SaltStack.

Overall we have a deeply technical product, trying to build something customers love to use, and already have a lot of happy and satisfied customers.

We promise interesting work, the ability to open source parts of the project which don't give us a business advantage, as well as healthy working hours. We've also got investment days on Fridays, when you can work on anything you want, as long as it could possibly benefit Spacelift in some way.

If that sounds like fun to you, please apply at https://grnh.se/3138190b5us

You can find out more about the product we're building at https://spacelift.io and also see our engineering blog for a few technical blog posts of ours: https://spacelift.io/blog/engineering

Not OP, but here's an old thread from the last time this came up which is the bit I'm remembering: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25297823
It's not about subsidies, it is about water contracts and infrastructure that the farmers paid for up front.
Notably, the DARPA grand challenges funded the competitors before the competition. If you tell me you'll give me $100 million to solve global warming, I'll say "great, I'd love to try and get that money, but I'll need $1 million to get started". If the answer is "no startup funding, you have to show me the thing first before any money is given", then I'm not even going to try.

In the DARPA had two tracks for their competition, with competitors in one of the tracks being granted $1 million to fund their entries. Now, you had to qualify to get that funding so a reputation and some prior work was needed, but the consolation prize was you were able to advance your career whether you won or lost. That is why it worked. You can't just dangle a giant carrot at this level and expect people to bite if it's a zero-sum game.

Let's say I invest millions and years of my time to get the $100 million prize, and someone gets it right before me. What's my consolation prize? If it's absolutely nothing, then I'm not going to risk my career on that bet, and probably the person who would actually crack that egg won't either. Moreover, they might still try but it will be through tested funding channels.
Timnit was fired for cause- the cause was being a jerk to coworkers repeatedly (she repeatedly attacked internal researchers on internally public mailing lists in an unprofessional way). I still don't understand why Megan and jeff tried to pitch it as a resignation or that it was about that specific paper not being withdrawn (Megan didn't even understand the difference between a submitted paper being withdrawn, and a published paper being retracted). Either way, the outcome of that situation is: Jeff doesn't really run Research any more and Megan is permanently sidelined, and now Timnit has an independently funded institute where she can say whatever she wants (her current position is that techbros are eugenicists).
Netflix is an incredibly profitable company still.
