> So now my question is why do you need to make your online connections offline?

I don't believe it a necessity, and there are some online friends I probably won't be able to meet for a while, if ever.

But I enjoy moving a conversation offline because no online interface can replicate wandering between parks in Los Angeles and having pizza slices together. Though interfaces can still allow plenty of unique forms of expression -- just vastly different from embodied exploration and reacting to the world together.

> To summarize, finding friends on Twitter is kind of like shooting in the dark.

Aptly put. Not unlike dating apps or applying to jobs or talking to strangers at bars. It's just one additional avenue for meeting people.

You mention the separation between individuals getting algorithmically sorted and interest-based topics. In my experience I find twitter to be both: emergent scenes or corners form by a bunch of independent actors interacting with one another regularly, even though not all are following one another. The edges are fuzzy and overlapping but they have much more "placeness" than an endless feed, even if it is in fact experienced through a feed.

Lol, sure, everyone's secretly a millionaire because of drug dealing.

You vastly over-estimate the extent and value of illegal activities in a country. It may be huge for an individual but it is always a small fraction of (what you call) "formal" GDP.
I play both piano and chromatic button accordion (a little). One thing that seems a bit harder on button accordion is going up the scale playing thirds or sixths, because you need to be aware of which are major versus minor thirds (or sixths) in the diatonic scale you're using. With a piano, the keyboard mostly takes care of this, at least in easier keys.

It seems like this notation has similar issues in emphasizing the chromatic scale over diatonic scales maybe a little too much?

This is a very helpful view on things. It definitely seems like evolution is taking place. Many of the new solutions are a mixture of other solutions with a certain aspect being the most important.

O'Reilly Author here on a throwaway account.

This is how it works currently due to the volume of manuscripts they are working on at any given time.

My editor told me that you used to be able to ask or try to make a case for a specific animal.

If you are writing a book about something that has an official animal or something, I am sure you can have some sway, but for the long tail of titles, you get one assigned randomly at some point.

If you are planning to publish a book, they are great to work with since they work with more engineer authors than other publishers may have experience with. A big part of it are the editors you work with there.
Very excited for this. One of the major issues with Plaid is their poor support for commercial banks -- for instance, SVB. If Stripe can provide more reliable connections to commercial banks, this will be an extremely valuable alternative.
"getting hit for a bus" is a hyperbolic example meant to stand in for a catastrophic event. It really means you (or a family member like a parent, partner or child) has a major health event, for instance. Some things are random, some things tend to become more likely with age. Even just chronic pain or other health issues might make retirement less fun than travelling in your 20s (speaking as someone with chronic pain from surgical implants).

Besides health there's a lot of reasons why being certain about doing something now might be preferable to putting it off for 10+ years.

We’re exactly on the same page of thought. The certification for me, is more to just boost my confidence and direction moving forward.

Looking into it, I 100% take my self-taught music skills and management for granted. Having had to work with all spectrums of artists from pop, hip-hop, male, female, young to old, the goal would always end up being how do we get this song completed to the best of our abilities and ready for worldwide release.

It’s a tedious process consisting of communicating and directing tons of people to achieve the unified goal even when they don’t see it.

I’m assuming in tech, there are similar environments like that.
The new files API of dataset-orm, an ORM based on the famous dataset library, is useful for cloud and 12-factor applications that need a no-hassle persistent filesystem-alike - all you need is a SQL database supported through SQLAlchemy. This provides straight-forward put + get semantics, as well as a low-level file-like API. Optionally use it with class-based ORM Models.
Great question. I do not know off the top of my head, but can look into it.

It seems that you missed their point: the toxicity is non-gendered. (I say you missed their point but they also kinda did a poor job of making it, FWIW.) There might be a point that Google's culture in practice is male-dominant but I think it's mistaken thinking that puts the toxicity on the male-dominance.

This is an interesting criticism. I grew up on wired magazine and sci-fi. Even then I recognized the dangers of shallow knowledge and maybe I can’t avoid it even now. But I’m actively working with GPT3 and I must say it is startling. I’d say we’re a few years from automating most knowledge tasks (I created a tool that I chose not to release because it was too powerful). We could be a decade from general purpose artificial intelligence (or it might not be possible at all. For a fun thought experiment ask GPT3 if it is truly conscious). The answer it gave me was surprisingly coherent wise and useful. From there (AGI) we could be minutes away from artificial super intelligence. That starts to look a bit like a point pst which standard prediction breaks down. But like you say, pop sci might be hindering rational thinking on this score.
C and C++ still see overwhelming usage in many industries because of the business value they provide in terms of performance and how quickly you can produce software in it. That does not seem likely to change any time soon- game studios are not widely adopting rust, for example, and I don't expect that to change, even though they impact a MASSIVE amount of people.

Hare's value proposition is simplicity- which allows you to better reason about the software you write, for one thing. We are each entitled to our own opinion about how valuable that is.

Since when solving "hard problems" became toxic masculinity? Are you saying Marie Curie and Ada Lovelace suffered from toxic masculinity?

Another issue is that "promotion" can mean any number of things which someone may desire or not care about. This "promotion" may mean a private office, more flexibility with your time, more money, respect, control over what you work on, meetings with higher-ups, direct reports, and so forth. Not everyone wants all of these things in a single bundle.
So what happens when you promote someone for maintaining the same system for years? When do you stop promoting them? There's a person on my team who is happy to maintain what he works on. He has worked on fundamentally the same project for over a decade. He's a senior level engineer, and as far as I know doesn't have aspirations beyond that, which is perfectly fine. Assuming he keeps doing that work, and no more, does he get promoted again? Once? Twice? Does he become a principal engineer, for adequately maintaining his corner of the world?

The person who is really good and really effective at fixing user issues, first of all can't scale past a certain point, but second of all, likely doesn't have the the experience to design and shepherd the data storage system that also manages permissions across nested groups efficiently (one of these is what we'd expect of a solid L4, the other is https://research.google/pubs/pub48190/).

You're asking for title inflation. Is that really what you want? What you really want is a different role, "maintenance eng" who can get paid more for doing the same work they were doing yesterday, and who needs to reinterview for SWE roles, because its very quickly obvious that a principal maintenance eng and a principal eng do very different things!

I'm not sure we can, even if we try. At least not for any practical cost. Canada has been trying to curtail, and ideally eradicate, rabies from the wild for the last ~50 years. Rabid animals are systematically culled. There's an oral animal vaccine. There's an ongoing vaccination program where they scatter the vaccine all over the place in edible treat format. The ongoing cost of these programs is considerable, running to hundreds of millions of dollars.

And yet rabies has not been eliminated from the wild. Not by a long shot. The cumulative effect of these programs over the decades is to mostly eradicate it from inhabited areas in foxes, raccoons and other species which are prone to human interaction. Actual eradication of rabies in the wild in North America, is essentially unattainable, even if we scaled current programs up massively. Too many skunks slip through the net. Unless we're going to simply sterilize the outdoors, I'm really not sure we could eradicate animal reservoirs for COVID-19.
> we don't know if they switched they could have just stopped using bitcoin altogether we have no way of knowing so the assumption of you that they switched

Did you not read the article? It literally quoted people talking about using other apps instead. Operative words: "Have transitioned." I didn't say EVERYONE transitioned, sure some likely did ditch 'bitcoin' entirely.

"Meanwhile, many living in tourist hot spots on the Pacific coast, where Bitcoin usage is highest, have transitioned to other crypto wallets, such as the privately developed Bitcoin Beach."

>Still not really helping grandma or the other 45% of the population that don't have a bank account.

Crypto and bitcoin doesn't require a bank account. Transitioning from chivo doesn't require a bank account.

>learned really fast is NIL.

Wouldn't that potentially be a copyright violation? E.g. using elephant for PHP could be seen as trying to copy PHP's logo? [1] (Not a lawyer, this is just a question)

[1] This is likely a terrible example, as I don't think elephant is PHP's official logo, just an associated mascot like Java's Duke? Still... I don't know if this can be copyrighted.

Everybody can have a bad day and write terrible code, but blogging about it as a positive example and as evidence that a practically useful programming language doesn't need high quality generic data structures suggests a deeper problem at understanding the needs of programming language users.

Wrong questions (focusing on the narrow case of unique, overspecialized application-specific data structures), not only forgivable wrong answers (that hashtable from the Hare compiler, after all, could be close to good enough for its specific usage).

Personally, I think abstract data types based on some kind of macros or templates would be a valuable feature for Hare, even if their use in the standard library is limited, because someone will want to write reusable libraries.

Even within the confines of an application, there is a practical need to deal with different uses of a data structure in the same way and make changes in one place (e.g. "the generic hashtable in our ORM" ) rather than in possibly numerous quasi-duplicates (e.g. 250 different struct to struct hashtables representing database query results in a large business application).

C++ templates, a good example of what could be realistically offered by Hare, allow to upgrade a definition from "do X with one type" to "do X with any suitable type", which is a useful abstraction even without reuse (what's actually expected or not of the type parameters becomes explicit), a technique to write general libraries "for free" (e.g. you can put whatever you want in our hashtable), a technique to define general language foundations (e.g. you can have smart pointers to anything).

Imagine a $500 credit for opening a checking account from the local bank. And then having it debited/stolen with the bank saying "sorry, we don't know what happened, where or who it went to... there's nothing we can do about it, but don't worry, you now have a checking account you can use from us".
Easier. And you don't open the port to a public network.
Clearly depends of where you work, and what you do Inside Ubisoft. My rule of thumb is that the closer you are to the game itself (Dev, gameplay designers, sound designers...) the more you will crunch and the less you get paid. As if the labor was a perk in itself.

It's really more of a proto-agile approach! I've never done the manual first personally, though I had a boss that had been on a project run that way early in his career who always wanted to do things that way again. The idea is to skip distilling requirements into specifications, engineering documentation, and user documentation. Instead you gather requirements AS user documentation, and only work backwards from there as necessary. Sort of like skipping all the specifications to V&V activities in a traditional systems engineering approach by writing tests first in test-driven-development.

Exactly. The flip side of the recent proliferation of "barely in-house" movements is that there's actually even less diversity of movements in the mid-range watch market than the brands would have you believe. So in the long term, it's going to be fairly easy to get any of them serviced. Just replace some springs and gears with compatible parts from a 2824/2892/7750/whatever and stick the brand's pretty rotor back on.
I'm with you on this. I see a ton of custom watches that end up using a Seiko automatic movement or an ETA. A bit like Lotus using Toyota Camry engines.
