>Making landlords wait to be paid for a limit time is not the same thing as "stealing,"

It is though. Banks make an entire business about taking your money now and giving it back to you later. They even pay you extra!

How would you feel if your employer decided to only pay you in 3 months' time? What consequences do you think this could have on the average person?
Even if it does go away, youre not loosing anything. Its functionality can be replicated with a USD 5 VPS using Slack's nebula (not wireguard based) or any wireguard based tool like headscale, innernet, netmaker or plain old wireguard.
How does one learn to actually read music, then?

I have been learning to play the keyboard for about a year and I find the layout of the keys to make a lot of sense for figuring out things like scales and chords. When I was in high school I never really learned to sight-read a staff, it was always a struggle for me and probably what turned me off to playing an instrument for so long.

If simplified notations are essentially a crutch for newbies, how does one “git gud”?
I described it in another comment:

> I've got an msi desktop gaming PC, an LG CX OLED TV, and a Yamaha RX-A2A receiver and they never played well together. The kids always had a hard time getting them all on at once and set to the right inputs and launching steam.

> So I created a Home Assistant automation that does all that, bought a Zwave button that sits on the coffee table, and now they just turn it all on with one button like it's a video game console.

I also plan to add "scenes" where I can just tap the button and the lights dim, and the media center gets put into movie mode, as well as a "music" scene for when I have parties, which would join the two zones my receiver supports an then

Looks like we're at the "personalized recommendations based on extensive user behavioral tracking" phase now. I think every aspiring social app gets here eventually and in my opinion it's ultimately what ruins the whole thing.
Couple of things about retiring early: pay off your living space and car. Don’t carry debt into retirement as you income drops. Have a pile built up to cover non-medical health, travel, repairs and nether kinds of spending. Max out retirement accounts to get some tax savings,

If you’re trying to do this in the US, you need a bigger pile as you need private health insurance as well. Figure 2-5k/month for this, especially if there’s more than 1 person involved. This added expense might push retirees out of the us if there’s no family ties. Watch out for tax treaties with foreign countries and be careful re residency and citizenship to make sure you can get the govt pension you paid for for decades.
Yes, that's correct! Plus the dynamic column feature, which we think is crucial for Observability-type workloads (from what we know only InfluxDB IOx supports a similar feature).
> Would you suggest I research the companies to determine what type of positions for coding they have?

Definitely visit their jobs page to get a flavor of what they are looking for, but realize that it is not up to date; there may be positions on there that are no longer available and positions that are available that are no longer there.

Also know that companies may not list junior/entry level positions because they get a flood of applicants when they do.
When I can't sleep because my mind is racing, or I am anxious about something, I take 1000mg of acetaminophen, the stress is relieved, and within an hour I am asleep.

When bad things happen to me, or I'm anxious about something, I take 1000mg of acetaminophen and the stress is quickly blunted.

Acetaminophen is a miracle drug for psychological pain, and it is very safe if used occasionally in small doses (as described above).
This is very inaccurate.

I dont really know where to start.

There are circumstances where you cant get your name on a building from a donation, there are circumstances that circumvent that requirement. There are circumstances where there is no tax deduction because the donation already occurred from another non profit.

These wealthy people are going to run circles around the the general understanding for another 100 years. Bite the bullet and pay a nonprofit lawyer to understand whats possible.

Women demand men that are better than their peers while men only demand women who are good on their own. The evolutionary pressure produces men who are competitive in this toxic way.
Rust is actually right, you cannot have multiple mutable references to a Database object without things going down the drain. (This is related to the fact that, like other comments said, &mut is an exclusive reference).

However, achieving something like what you want is still more than possible in Rust. You can do this with the pattern of 'interior mutability', which in its simplest form is just a Mutex. This allows upgrading a shared reference to an exclusive reference, so that you can safely mutate an object while upholding the expectations that a mutable reference is exclusive, and a non-mutable reference does not change from under your feet.

Of course, for a database, you will probably want a more advanced implementation of interior mutability, so that you can commit multiple transactions at the same time. (Or not, it seems to work quite well for SQLite.)

> they think the trendy tech will attract candidates.

This. Management says semi-openly that the job itself is too boring to atract solid candidates, so they at least need to make the tech stack interesting and good for CV. Working with hot stack is basically part of compensation.
The pricing here seems asinine. $0.10/successful API call?
Prag offers 50% of profit versus 10-20% of gross revenue shared by traditional publishing houses. It's often a little more money, but not as big a difference as they want you to believe.

Leanpub is a much better option these days in my opinion.
Meta = Facebook. Facebook bought an innovative team that sold the first mainstream VR headset, they are certainly doing the work to sell a quality hardware product at a competitive price. If only Mark Zuckerberg watched Ready Player One and Sword Art Online he might be able to communicate what it means, but he hasn't and he won't.

Netflix doesn't seem like a great innovator if you compare it to Disney. (e.g. animated films, that Lincoln, Space Mountain, building a machine that turns Star Wars and Marvel into $$$ better than anyone else...)

Apple has the talent and resources to create something new but there are a limited number of products that most people buy that cost as much or more than a smartphone: there's room for an Apple Car and an Apple House, but will an Apple AR headset move the needle financially?
FWIW - if you buy a Hue bulb today (Bluetooth connected) it functions as a normal bulb. Turning it off and on again at the switch or lamp will restart it as if it were a normal bulb. If it's a color change bulb it restarts as a white light.
> The problem with Twitter, and other social media where people use their real name and photo is that in fact people are NEVER going to be themselves. People want to show their best to the world.

The currently trending social media app for younger generations is BeReal, which basically prompts everyone to take a selfie at the same time of the day, with a two minute timer to do so. No filters, and it shows the image from both cameras.

It's somewhat refreshing to see people on the bus, cooking, laying on the couch playing video games, or doing all kinds of other mundane things as opposed to a perfectly manicured feed. It's not amenable to making new connections due to it not allowing messages between unconnected users, and it's not clear if it's just a fad, but it's a somewhat welcome change in the space.
Seeing your comment, I'm reminded of the Far Side comic where the dog only understands her name in the owner's speech: "blah blah blah Ginger blah blah".

"Proving you're smart by solving hard problems is a gorilla-chest-thumping exercise. It's not enough to build things. You need to be better than those around you. But you have to be "googley" which means using logic and data to put down your coworkers and show why you're right and they're wrong."
I think a better music notation system would easily be at least 2x better for beginners. A rationalized system could mean 100% of kids learn to read and write music, and anyone could understand how to play an instrument like a piano from music (even if not able to do it at full speed).

My point was that it could be 10x better, and it wouldn't lead to a switch. The decision-makers aren't the same as the people whom it would benefit.

Coincidentally, there are a lot of scientific fields where jargon could be dramatically simplified, to where anyone could learn them too. Same entrenched walled garden problem. That's especially true of fields like medicine, chemistry, and biology where things were named before we understood them.
Nice! Thanks for the reply! Looking forward to see where this goes! :-)
How is Google related to Project Gutenberg?
I think you're speaking to a different (but still legit) problem. The OP is asking about the nature of confusing complexity, as it might appear to a new programmer. The capital implications of making real, profitable software from interlocking systems of alchemy is indeed not a solved problem - but I would say that it's interesting point of alignment between capitalists and beginner software programmers! Everyone wants lower maintenance costs, in terms of both time and brainpower. The $500k+ FAANG superstar programmer is a byproduct of the fact that alchemy is much harder to master than chemistry.
> Maybe a string-instrument player could comment on usefulness for string music?

Speaking from my experience playing violin (as an ameteur), players generally practice their scales until the finger positions become muscle memory. This way, the key provides the entire note position -> finger position mapping, and accidentals simply become half-step modifications. Since the scales would need to be learned anyway to play tonal music, I don't see how this notation would simplify anything.
For those wondering, this was originally a salty comment by one of Plaid's founders calling out Stripe for being "so damn boring".
I've always had a feeling that toxicity is a function of community size.

Like in small online communities, you get to know the trolls and it's oddly endearing. You see their personality and everybody gets to know them and their trolling doesn't even derail discussion at that point it just makes everyone laugh.

Truly toxic individuals can also be booted. When a community reaches a certain size there is just an unrelenting deluge of anonymous trolls and toxic individuals, nobody can keep up.

(e.g. is the washer flooding the basement? Light off if I am not around, close and lock garage at night, etc.)
Running with the 12% figure, I'm still curious as to how that is useful. Have you traveled recently? Been to a large gathering? Never left your house? Visited with family from out of town? Do you commute for work as a front-line worker?

Risk profiles for less common diseases make sense, but these are questions your doctor should ask regardless of the infection rate of your zip code in a pandemic scenario, however.

> Medicine should not be one size fits all

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect tests for most obvious fit of your symptoms (with followups for less likely causes if those are negative) rather than needing to do statistics puzzles for every patient that comes in through the door.
> A better option would just be to put $1 billion into a company dedicated to catching up to China on mass-scale monocrystalline PV wafer production for durable, high-efficiency PV panels for both rooftop solar and large-scale installations.

I'm with you on increasing domestic PV production at scale, but residential rooftop solar is not where you are going to get the most impact in terms of increased renewable generation. Residential rooftop LCOE is always 2-4x the cost of utility scale solar because of the sheer variety of roof types, more inverters per panel, and much higher per-watt soft costs (marketing, site analysis, permitting, etc).

Rooftop solar is good for reducing individual customer bills in many places though. In CA my PV array, which cost about $12k, reduces my annual electric bill by $1700/year, thanks to the rooftop solar-friendly net-metering system. If net metering incentives were reduced, the value proposition in pure $ would go down. These days, the main incentive to get solar PV in CA appears to be:

- Adding it to lower bills before net-metering is phased out (as has been proposed)

- Generating power for an EV

- Pairing with battery backup for power outage preparation
There are many centuries of engineering behind this. I went to the Museum of Horology in Austria. It has examples of the first mechanical clocks, up to today's timepieces. It is fascinating looking at the giant, wrought-iron town clocks that kept shitty time and bent and rusted, and seeing different parts of the clock evolve over the years, especially as engineering & metallurgy improved.

The way I looked at it was: if I'm being paid enough, I care about being happy more than being paid more. Jumping through hoops to get promoted is going to get me more money and also make me do more stuff I don't want to do. I was happiest when I had a clear, important job to do, that everyone knew wasn't enough work for one person, and then the expectation that I'd spend the rest of the time fixing stuff that was nobody's job and freedom to set priorities for the most part (after all, if it was important, it should be somebody's job). Of course, at the last place, I think they have four engineers now doing my important job that left me mostly idle. Not sure how four people can work on it, but not my circus.

I briefly had one person reporting to me (well two people, in sequence), and navigating performance reviews on behalf of someone else is not for me.
Not a good look, the lawsuit is going to be interesting for sure.
Is Keycloak a good option if I want to setup a SAML Service Provider using user records from my own MySQL database? I've looked at Okta and Keycloak and it's not really obvious to whether I'm supposed to give up my User table and let the auth system handle it, or whether the user data ends up being spread between my DB and the auth system (I think that's how Okta would be implemented).

I know I could roll my own with PassportJS or something, but I'd like all the nice Okta stuff (MFA, password policies, SAML SSO, maybe federation) but integrated with my existing DB. Or is that just too much to ask?
MAD props for Meta being releasing these raw notes. Love seeing into their work process as well.
Plaid has direct integrations with many banks too -- Silicon Valley Bank is actually a Plaid partner for ACH processing (see https://www.svb.com/news/company-news/silicon-valley-bank-an...). Not sure when your bad experience with 2fa was but Plaid's connection to SVB has improved over the past ~6 months as we've begun to work together more closely and should continue to do so.

All across corporate America, there are devs who make 80-120k a year and keep it 9-5 (but really like 11-2). Especially with the recent turmoil in the market, you can find a very easy yet well paying (for normal people) job. Now if only HR would advertise the jobs this way...
I wonder if some of the risks of cost-plus could be mitigated by associating it with industry average running costs rather than a per-project basis. So contractors would get a yearly payment with as long as they are making progress on a project, but any changes to the project are 1-to-1 with additional costs so there would be no benefit to either aggressive cost cutting or sandbagging expenses. Maybe also make it so profit would be rewarded at project completion in proportion to the running costs of however long the project took to prevent pointlessly lagging or rushing projects. Of course there would also have to be bullshit like opportunity cost compensation and shit because these companies are so profit-driven as to crash a project meant for the public good if it means more profit from interest on a 0.5% bank account

On the other hand, having spent many years at IBM, the Loudest Person In The Room is rarely a woman.

To debate supply vs demand side is pointless because the fed doesn't even know.
Not OP, but various automations that fire off commands based on whatever your TV, receiver, Apple TV box, etc are doing are how I find it most useful.

Example: I have some cheap Govee LED strip lights behind my TV for ambient lighting. HomeAssistant can detect when my Apple TV (or Samsung smart TV) is on and automatically turn on the lights for me. I don't have to reach around the back of the TV to try and find the little button to turn the lights on (or remember to turn them off).

I can also control both my TV and Apple TV through HomeAssistant. It's not exactly the most polished/straightforward, but you could definitely string together some automations - something like a "movie night" button that dims the lights, turns on the TV, switches to the appropriate input, and cues up a file. For me that's more hassle than it's worth.

Everyone recruits grunt devs like that. That's what every job in Silicon Valley is. It's just that some companies and teams want you to spin it like you're some amazing lone wolf 100x genius while you're scraping dogshit off the bottom of the company's shoes.

A big part of it is that the executives decide what's making money for the company, and they'll focus on that. If you're scraping turds on the "rockstar" team in the "rockstar" org, you'll get showered with bonus money and RSUs. If you're scraping turds on a product that none of the VPs care about, you'll probably get screwed over. Some of the people in the non-"ninja"/"wizard"/"rockstar" orgs will do OK because they look like indispensable geniuses, and I think that's what a lot of this sentiment comes from.
Thanks, I can pass with not having teams specific roles in short term. The real issue, that prevented me normal use was the /tmp, and I fixed it.

It looks like when you at runtime configure "tmpfs", you actually look into what permissions /tmp has. On Heroku, the permission is apparently enforced and will always work. So on my end, I just had to chmod 0777 and that solved my server issue.
Yea, I think a lot of programmers confuse the map for the territory. It's not only the data, but the program itself.

Almost no one actually cares how a particular program was written or how it understands it's input and output -- we care that it works with some level of quality. How one gets that result is irrelevant in the end. It could be written directly in twisty assembly code. Do not care[1]

Parts of these paradigms have useful tools for building working programs, but a great majority of the contents of these paradigms are simply about organization. This shows up most clearly in OO, and of course, functions are a way to organize code. This isn't a bad thing -- certainly helpful for humans working on a code base -- but it isn't actually relevant to the task the program itself performs or how fast or well it performs it.

So, of course, the input and output of a program aren't really conformant to any paradigm, because the paradigms are about organizing programs, not about performing a particular task.

I tried to like what I originally saw when trying out ToolJet and loved how easy it was to setup, (docker with postgres) but encountered way too many bugs to make it usable in our organization.

The biggest one would be that I would setup a query for a component and then I would come back to it later, usually after some kind of page refresh and the query would just not appear in the editor anymore. Sometimes I'd refresh it again and it would appear again, but it was just way too flaky to be considered for any kind of commitment to building tooling with it.

And there's no chance in hell that non-technical internal would be able to build anything useful with it; but to be fair, I tried other tools and they weren't that impressive either even if they were less buggy. The entire "low code" thing just feels like hype as soon as you need to do anything non-trivial like read data from a large table with multiple joins and need to implement server-side pagination, for example. I'm just more productive writing Rails templates using basic MVC with Rails Admin.
