Here's how I do my tax return: I go to the IRS website, I download my data (all the forms submitted about me). I enter them by hand into a tax program, it then generates a tax returns and sends it back.

There's almost nothing in there that needs me as part of the process, except demographic info.
I've never had a problem with it - I guess you need to find the right sized one. Also, it's a strong stretch and one can build up to it using a rolled-up towel and use it on all parts of the spine. I just go by feeling.

The problem usually isn't the next layer of abstraction. NextJs and Remix are just fine (I don't have experience with RedwoodJs). The issue is that developers tend to put "Here be dragons!" in their mental map of whatever is two levels down the abstraction chain from where they live.

When those layers are small additions, people end up not understanding (or even fearing) components of their stack that are quite close to the surface. It's hard to do quality software engineering when you can't reason about the foundation of what you're building.

But if you lived through the process of adding new layers or if you take the time to learn more layers of your stack, you'll be able to make the most of the tradeoffs inherent to adding the latest framework or library.

The entire point of getting the private sector is that their insentive should be to do it in the most efficient manner possible, and noone has to manage them - the inefficient ones just die out.

The second-best approach is to have the government manage the whole thing, where they have no real incentive to be efficient.

But what we have here is employing the private sector and incentivising them to be as inefficient as possible, and the government must still hire an army of accountants and experts to keep them in check. it's combines the worst aspects of both!

If one contrasts the bang for the buck between the 'usual NASA suspects' and the performance of SpaceX, there is a lesson there.
In addition, the NASA Mil-SPEC process is rooted in a far past era that insisted on x-rays of every resistor and part for making sure nothing ever failed. This is the old For want of a nail... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_Want_of_a_Nail
Modern parts manufacture now makes parts with 7 or higher 9's of reliability.
6 nines = 1 in a million fails, so a spacecraft with a million resistors is a 50:50 effort and so on.
This hunt for more 9's has led Nasa down a cost rabbit hole, exacerbated by these fees+ contracts.
Of course, there are also overlays of accounting and admin verification that can add 25-50% to a project, esp small runs.

Other than being owned by Facebook, I’m not sure how exactly React is a monstrosity.

"Because C makes implementing generic data structures tedious. Is it a good idea to replicate that model?"

A lot of so called "modern" languages make a choice for you. Here is a hash map, over there is a class, have a tuple, set, etc. And they all have a specific way to be used.

In implementing all that, many languages lose on flexibility while gaining general utility. Hare seems to go in the opposite direction, one that makes programmers think hard about the solutions to their problems.

And that is, IMHO, a good thing.
When you ignore a red light, the fine is not calculated based on whether you had an accident or not. For a fine to be significant, it has to exceed the profit made from the crime, otherwise you'll keep running red lights until you actually crash or run someone over.

I can only give advice for “one note at a time” instruments like the flute or trumpet: practice sight reading children’s songs you know (and therefore can tell if you’ve made a huge mistake) - sight reading, not memorizing! As you get more proficient at reading those, slowly choose harder things - melody lines from a familiar church hymnal are ideal for this. If you make mistakes, finish the phrase, then repeat it, but here, you should be going for quantity, not quality.

Treat this as a separate part of your practice.

I would imagine it’s similar for piano or guitar.

Although this might be a bit too conspiratorial for the tastes of many. I suspect that this is an act in a larger piece of political theatre. Someone showed me this: https://who.is/whois/jewishrallyforabortionjustice.org

It's an incredible coincidence that someone knew to have this website up and running just ahead of the draft leak: https://web.archive.org/web/20220426203219/https://jewishral...

It could be totally unrelated to this abortion controversy, however that would be amazing coincidence.

The site maintained by this group: https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/national-council-o...

I'm aware of the fact that it's run by Jewish organisations will make me the butt of many accusations. All I'm alleging is that rumours have probably been moving around the right circles for a long time.

Running a core doesn't only run the core itself. There is a fair amount of supporting circuits including, but not limited to, things like memory controller, I/O bus, peripherals, etc.

These can sip a non-trivial amount of power, and if a task running on an efficiency core kept them all up, you ultimately might end up with greater aggregate power use.

Nowadays in modern chips these other circuits seem to be brought down to the low power states much more aggressively.

Something could be based on the "Rosie Pattern Language"[0]. There is already a parser for en_US/en_EU dates[1], which should be simple to extend to date ranges.

Another option would be using Tree-sitter[2]. It would be overall similar to using the Rosie Pattern Language, but Tree-sitter seems to have a more active community.

I wouldn't be surprised if one could write an automated Tree-sitter to Rosie Pattern Language translator.

I keep getting "An unexpected error occurred when trying to use instant verification."
The counter-problem is that a cost-plus contract works the opposite way - you are incentivised to account for none of the risks in your initial bid to make your quote competitive, and the sales strategy is to 'land and expand' (i.e. get the initial contract and then expand it's value - sales teams will openly talk about land and expand behind closed doors).

In practice this means that the quotes you get back are much harder to assess from a commercial perspective, as you are trying to weed out which companies are underquoting.

Also cost plus contracts almost always end up being cost 'plus plus' if you dig enough under the covers in my experiences in procurement/contract management (there are always hidden fees and profit lines, and too many opportunities for conflicts of interest or to charge more to the open book), so even a low % can just mean more 'hidden' profits. You could write a book on all the ways to extract additional profit from an open book contract.

IMO the best model isn't an either/or approach, it's a mix of models where the right model is used at the right time (including open book, fixed price, rate cards, hybrid contracts e.t.c.) where the contracts are adequately sized & scoped (i.e. several small fixed price contracts with set deliverables which have value on their own rather than one huge contract with one massive deliverable at the end).
Experience points. Every you complete a task, you gain experience points. Gain enough, you go up a level. Flavor them for different job tracks, tweak the rewards to incentivize the behaviors you want and not the ones you don't. If someone isn't gaining experience at a good rate, take a closer look to see whether they are doing things that should be worth XP, or whether you need to have a different conversation.

Give people some choices on leveling up -- maybe most people just want a bump to salary, maybe other people would like to gain more vacation, stock, half days Friday, a private office, a good parking spot, etc etc.

I did this for two years, lost a fair bit of weight. But the gorging at dinner time really messed up my cholesterol levels. So just an advice that one's weight isn't the only metric of health, if you do any diet change consult your doctor, and confirm health across multiple dimensions (blood tests etc).

Today, I do a heart healthy diet, and try to fast from 8PM-12PM (eat between 12PM-8PM). This helps me not eat/snack unhealthily in a condensed period of time.
Don't feel bad. I recently went through the process of enabling app passwords and what not for google accounts. I did that because I lost control of one account and decided to implement every recovery option possible on the others - like TOPT's and backup codes.

If there is a way of doing it, I suspect it's deliberately well hidden. I also suspect what they enforce varies by country.

I think that this is a great example of some of the tradeoffs between Rust and C++!

The main difference is that the C++ code will check everything at instantiation time, and C++ templates can lead to nasty error messages because it's hard to assign _blame_ to either the caller or the callee.

As an example, consider the following code:

template<int N>
std::array<int, N> foo() {
std::array<int, (N / 2) * 2> out;
return out;
}

This code will only typecheck if N is even. But that's not written down anywhere, and if I tried to pass in an odd N, then I'd get some template error telling me that _something_ went wrong, and it may even give me a trace. But that error doesn't tell me whether it's a bug in foo, or a bug in how I'm using foo. If it's a bug in using foo, it certainly doesn't tell me how to fix things.

Rust takes the approach of requiring that you specify constraints on generic parameters up front. It then checks whether the function's body will compile _for all_ possible generic parameters, given the constraints. This is much easier to use from a usability perspective, since you know whether to blame the caller or the callee, and it explicitly enumerates the requirements that you need to meet (i.e. the constraints on the generic parameter) in order to get your code to compile. This is why C++ lets you do many more crazy things with templates than Rust currently allows you to with generics (and why is moving more slowly to add things to its type system).

C++'s alternative approach gives up usability for extra flexibility. Neither approach is "right." They're just different trade-offs.

(As an aside, it turns out that the Rust type system was Turing complete even before const generics were added.)
Similarly I wonder how many of those "top-of-the-foodchain" software devs and system architects were dropped during earlier job applications elsewhere, only because some brainfart caused them to fail the stupid code challenge.
