Thanks janci for sharing your experience!

Indeed, we only scratched the surface of the complexity of metered billing, we'll do a deep dive soon on this topic (it does deserve its own post).

I think for the'nightmares' you mention:
- some might be specific to utility (not applicable to an online business), such as '- meter readings are available on dates totally independent from billing cycle'.
- Some topics might be simpler for a utility co: tax for instance (you know where your users are, and they are limited to a geographic region)

- But some nightmares such as '- the prices can change mid-billing cycle for some customers but the consumption data is not available with that granularity' do really resonate for online businesses too, indeed

Thanks for sharing, great insights for our future post!
Almost anyone who ever filed a Radar is pinching the bridge of their nose right now.
Ok we had a different view of searching. I think you propose 'vertical' search as a search engine feature where you could chose to search discord or some other index. I was thinking in the context of general web search results where ranking discord results among others would be hard.
Turning a Guitar Hero controller into a MIDI controller
Regarding the quotes, I actually notice they do work. However the difference is that it doesn't highlight where the string was matched in the search result index page.

So for example if you google "Food", all the results _will_ contain the string "Food" somewhere in the page (if you don't believe me, try it). It can also match somewhere in the comments or metadata which is useless..

So the feature is still there but it's nowhere as useful as it once was.

I recall a Google engineer who confirmed this once but maybe one of them lurking in the thread can clarify it?
I work with the A/R and A/P teams all the time. It's a large part of doing tax in-house.
Does someone have a summary? I don't have time digging through the dinner preferences of some random person ("It was after 11 p.m. on Monday evening, and Sam Bankman-Fried was concocting some potato-pepper-onion fake meat stir-fry in his Bahamas kitchen...") to even figure out what the article is about.
None of those are eating the rind. They are putting the wine in broth for seasoning.
Qt4 is/was much better than Qt3; and Nokia made it available to everyone under LGPL which was sensational; Qt5 mostly improved modularity and platform abstraction; after the Nokia aera, Qt has given itself a bit of an orientation log, adding features in all sorts of directions that didn't necessarily add to the core proposition, but increased complexity and development effort, without adequate value in my view.
None of what you said is a full debunking of the evidence mentioned in the article or even the leaks that PV has released about Twitter; starting with the Twitter all hands video which none of the videos still haven't been directly debunked or refuted.

At best, your comment is mixture of quick deflections, starting with a typical ad-hominen which is even irrelevant, followed by an outright denial of what was presented in the video and an attempt to escape and dismiss the post as a 'rumor' after the release of the leaks with a direct confession recorded on video.

So can you show me a full debunking of both, if not all the evidence presented by PV about Twitter starting with the all hands video leak, assuming you have watched all the video leaks?
Well you seem to be asserting we are removing type checking, which we are not. We are just moving around when the tooling does the type checking (now in it's own step, rather than at runtime).

Code is still being type checked, just not by default at runtime anymore. You can also just do `deno run --check=all main.ts` to check at runtime by the way.

The functionality isn't even being removed, it's just moved around and some defaults are being changed :)
1. Their political leaning isn’t relevant. Are you saying you will only take this seriously if it’s posted by an overtly left leaning outlet?

2. This is a senior engineer. Do their comments about internal practices not matter at all?

3. Where is the rumor? It’s a video. Is this a deepfake we are watching? Are we hallucinating?
Apollo GraphQL launches its Supergraph
It reads more like a case for caching, or for a much more capable bundler (that can include an "I am version XXXX and already checked this, it's good" note in the bundle). Certainly, it seems like it would have been safer to leave the default alone and add a "do-not-typecheck" flag.
A strong foundation in linear algebra, multivariable calculus, probability, and statistics is going to be generally applicable almost no matter what problem you work on.
Not true. The vast majority of startups hemorrhage money with inefficiencies. I routinely cut tens of thousands of dollars a month off a startup’s AWS bill. It takes me 30-45min. Why didn’t someone else do it? Too busy, didn’t know about it, didn’t know how.

I keep expecting to find a place that doesn’t need some sort of efficiency cost-saving. I’ve yet to find it.

The fact is there’s a crap-ton of beneficial work to be done anywhere you look. It’s not hard to justify a good salary in the software world.

For example: what if your company could double the speed of your CI/CD system and halve the price? If you move your runners to spot instances in an auto-scaling group you can do that.
What’s the return on increasing the productivity of your eng team? Maybe eng salaries times percentage productivity improvement? That number is probably… large.
Ah, I guess I misunderstood. Would it be fair to characterize your point as: AI art isn't art but neither is most conceptual 20-21st century art so why does it matter, we're already living in a world without art?

If that's your position, I have some sympathy for that but I'd say that the difference is that in a world where AI art can be generated at the push of a button, we end up in a world where it's impossible to determine if a piece has been made by human hands. The cultural equivalent of grey goo.

To me there's a big qualitative difference between some art being bullshit and (effectively) 100% of it being bullshit. Of course that includes narrative art as well, since GPT-N language models are already pretty capable in that department and will only be getting better.
Medicine. There's never gonna be a short supply of old and sick people needing care. Doctors enjoy a job stability second to none.
Type checking still occurs for `deno test`, which is what's mostly used for development. `deno run` won't have it by default because usually you run programs that are already type checked, but if you want it you will be able to add the `--check` flag (ex. `deno run --check main.ts`).

There's a huge performance overhead to run type checking, so the changes are for it to only be run for development/bundling workflows and be opt-in otherwise.
The traditional solutions still involve careful running. People are mentioning Kalman filters. How are the covariances of the noise processes chosen? The best choice of parameters is chosen by experimentation and measurement, not first principles.

Additionally, "first principles" can mean modeling the contact patch been the tire and road, and estimating the friction, based on weather and road conditions. Or it can mean a mixture of two models, one with and without slippage.

How do you detect which model is "active"? That's more parameters that require tuning.

Ideally, models are both data-driven and human-interpretable.
Because oil in a supertanker or a underground tank doesn't harm the environment. It's when oil is burned to produce energy + heat + quality of life + CO2 that the harm happens, in the form of the aforementioned CO2

There is nothing to agree or disagree... it's simple physics. If we want to politicize physics then we can go forward and politicize physics too. But at least we should be conscious about it.

Maybe it's always the same stories. I haven't read of any happening in the past couple years. Of the two I've read in this thread, one happened ages ago, the other involves raid5 which AFAIK is not recommended for production use. Also, kernel bugs tend to get fixed, especially now that btrfs is recommended by a few distros.
Well, as a thought experiment, it suggests a concrete scheme: it's a game where everybody is trying to do their best.

If it's a game where nobody cares, it's a stupid game, and results are meaningless.
I find the flowchart visualizing the pipeline very intriguing, can someone link me a tool I can use to create similar charts?

It's kind of an alien world to us, no lighting like we know it, all organic shapes with a lot of unidentifiable stuff, blue tint etc. It all helps to make it an easier case.

dalle-e is still impressive, but taking this to the extreme it would be like making it simulate pictures of TV noise and show we couldn't tell it from the real thing.
Maybe it's not actually simple?
Wow, thanks for sharing!
We found out 'billing engineers' are very rare and really demanded, as it requires to be very detail oriented, technical, and business processes oriented.
But even if there is high demand (and I guess: corresponding high pay, as you mention), very few engineers are up to the challenge!
I am not sure what the metric of “bottom” you are using, but I am earning 14x the salary of my first job as a junior developer in 2017.

About 6x the salary of the job I had before changing careers (I took a pay cut when I started as a junior).

Definitely a race up for me.

It's a TS "bug", not a Deno "bug" though. TS doesn't have a sound type system. It has type annotations on steroids.
Is there a quality control board, or does making the product in the area confer magical powers to the product?
Causing a bunch of pain for the user because of a theoretical thing that should be true doesn't help that thing become more true. I feel like we as a people (programmers) fall for this trap too often. Incentives have to be aligned so perfectly for this kind of thing to work.

It's neither. It's a bug in the library you're trying to use. The library you're trying to use is broken and you shouldn't use it until the problem is fixed.
Get rich. The average or even moderately wealthy probably won't have any chance at access to these technologies if they come to fruition. You'll also need a lot of extra wealth to keep yourself from an extra-long dotage in poverty.

From recent experience, the non-"political class" politicians don't seem to be that much better about enriching themselves in office.
I don't think the two JITs really do the same work, so it's hard to benchmark them against each other.

Erlang JIT takes BEAM bytecode and turns it into native code once at load time in order to avoid the overhead of the threaded code interpreter; if Erlang JIT is enabled, the interpreter is not used at all. Java's HotSpot JIT takes JVM bytecode and turns it into native code at runtime in order to improve performance of code that is run frequently (thus the name), guided by runtime information; lightly used code will be interpreted, heavily used code will hopefully be JITed to native. When HotSpot JITs, it may apply assumptions based on runtime use to produce faster code and if the assumptions don't hold for a call, the interpreter can be used instead (and if that happens often enough, the native code can be discarded and perhaps rebuilt), so the interpreter needs to be present always.

Erlang JIT has been focused more on always applying and speed of application (because it delays code loading), whereas HotSpot focuses more on getting performance gains when it applies, and speed of application is less important because it happens asynchronously. So if you benchmarked speed of applying the JIT, Erlang would probably win, and if you benchmarked optimization of the code, HotSpot would probably win, but either way you're comparing apples and oranges.
Yeah, I wasn't able to find any way for yt-dlp to download the HQ zipfiles either.
Sounds like their application process works. If someone is unwilling to fill out a basic questionnaire they are probably aren't a good candidate. The questions seem reasonable and they aren't asking for you to write a book for each one.
Vast Swath of US at Risk of Summer Blackouts, Regulator Warns
In the SAP R/3 family of products, there is also a component Factory Calendar (IMG -> SAP NetWeaver -> General Settings -> Maintain Calendar, transaction /SCAL) - a component that knows about all the various calendar systems incl. public holidays of the world and the dreaded leap years. If I remember correctly, it's customizable for each customer premise with respect to whether each day of the year is salaried or not.

This is a component classified as "basis technology" relied upon by many modules for billing (e.g. should a daily salaray be calculated in a country for a particular person? Should an invoice be considered "overdue" yet, based on the number of business days passed since issue? etc.).
Thanks! Interesting :)
ah yes then we agree. especially because each transaction burns ETH thus reducing supply and making token more scarce.

tho I do not think it will always translate to higher market price and valuation in future since the price is determined by a range of factors that are impossible to predict like bugs, stagnation, quantum crypto cracking or just global market fluctuations. this is where I say it need not be seen as a pure investment. market price of ETH might be the same in 1 or 10 years as it is today and network will still have created utility and value all that time for those that did not view the base token as a pure investment.

From your experience, who should specify the billing system? The Product team?

We're building Lago so that the right questions / decisions frameworks are asked during the implementation, so it's like a forcing power embedded in the product.

Our experience is, unless the Product/Biz team has been exposed to billing, they will never specify in a way that is precise enough, so the engineers who implement billing will have to think/assess/decide themselves.
By "temporal model" do you mean relational tables of "customer X used Y amount of this resource at price Z from timestamp A to timestamp B" or ... ?
Having measures of success that are opposites of each other actually makes sense (as explained also in the High Output Management). That way you ensure you won't go too much into increasing release cadence at the cost of introducing too many bugs and vice versa.
Yep you are right, indeed.
We could have mentioned Reporting/Analytics for revenue, which is always a huge pain for companies!
The unfortunate thing about TypeScript is that incremental type checks are still very slow, because any file can influence the type of any other file, without the other file knowing. It's a design issue, that is unfortunately very unlikely to be fixed at this point.

Also, we already have a "do-not-typecheck" flag (`--no-check`), we were just seeing in real world usage that nearly everyone who uses Deno professionally would enable this flag for inner loop development, and leave type checking up to CI and their IDE. If 95% of your users use a flag that changes a default, then that changed value should probably be the default (resulting in a better experience for most people) :)
Yeah, `with` is pretty much this.
Sure, an article where COIN wasn't mentioned. Given that COIN made a profit in 2020 and a very large profit in 2021 it's hard to place it as a VC cash burning company.

COIN had a bad quarter and expects to have another. Are we seeing a shift away from crypto and tech or repricing which things will continue again? I think it's too soon to tell, hence my so what. COIN needs tighten up and plan for what's next. It doesn't mean they need to assume crypto is going to zero and the company is over - yet.
It is already there with the "with" macro.

The EEP doc calls it out:

https://www.erlang.org/eeps/eep-0049#elixir

"This is the most general control flow in this document, being fully flexible with regards to which values it can handle. This was done in part because there is not a strong norm regarding error or valid values in either the Erlang nor Elixir APIs, at least compared to other languages here.

This high level of flexibility has been criticized in some instances as being a bit confusing: it is possible for users to make error-only flows, success-only flows, mixed flows, and consequently the ˋelseˋ clause can become convoluted."
If public, I'd love to see a real example of Go code you believe does this correctly.
Among the most promising anti-aging drugs is metformin.

Type 2 diabetics on metformin live 15% longer than non-diabetics. This is remarkable considering how big a health disadvantage diabetes itself is.

Metformin seems to mimic fasting somehow, by interfering with mitochondrial function.

For more information I refer you to David Sinclair's numerous discussions on this topic. He takes 1 gram of metformin per day with his evening meal.

This is not medical advice.
This is a flawed experiment. If I see a bunch of photos, and many of them look real at first glance, I’m not instantly going to critique whether all of them were real, unless I was given specific instructions to do so.

Also, underwater photos are not something many people have personal experience seeing. Most of us don’t live underwater. We may not be equipped well enough to tell the difference, where above water, especially urban photos, we will likely notice better.

This employee should be fired not because of his views, but his unprofessional attitude.

Ask HN: How to track tech jobs market changes
It's no secret that the tech sector is getting hammered, both publicly traded companies and privately held ones, startups and established companies alike and I am beginning to hear a steady trickle of news of jobs being cut, hiring freezes and even offers being rescinded. I thought it useful to get a thread going here to track what changes your respective companies are making to headcounts and hiring.
> but fund managers and other fiduciaries should be required to prioritize profits for their clients over ESG goals.

But they are prioritizing profits. Companies which think they can ignore societal pressures get attacked by governemnts and attorney generals way more often, that's because politicians want to show their voters that they are out to enforce the societal pressures they care about.

If all surveys show that climate change and societal equality are high on citizens priorities, then politicians and attorney generals who live and die due to such surveys will sniff non-compliance and attack the companies which are non-compliant, thus jeopardizing their profits.

If companies want to run from ESG ratings they should stay private. You have private companies which sell 300bn worth of products and services per year so it can be done.

People can invest in them indirectly via buying stocks/bonds of banks which loan them money
Not surprising. Building out hundreds of miles of fiber and/or coax cable in a city is very expensive. If you know that most (if not all) of your potential customers are already with another cable or phone provider, would you try to capture them? Why not focus your efforts on areas that don't have service already?
Lehman Brothers’ Collapse: The Bankruptcy That Took over a Decade to Unwind
I didn't really read the article beyond the first paragraph, so my comment may be only tangentially relevant, but I just find it amusing that people get up in arms about governments trying to combat disinformation like that's a terrible thing. I would think by now, we'd all realize that private people and private companies are doing a shitty job at fighting disinformation and misinformation. Actually, no, I take that back, we aren't doing a shitty job, because we're not doing a job at it in the first place. In fact, private people seem to encourage and promote misinformation. Private companies certainly do, as long as it helps their profits. Private individuals do as long as it promotes their personal values or sparks any semblance of fear or mistrust in them, regardless of reality.

Basically what I'm saying is, do we really prefer privatized misinformation over government-regulated factual information? "But the government's definition of 'facts' is skewed and not actually true!" You just described 90% of the things you read online, incorporate into your identity, then share and promote to other people to continue the chain. Why are you happy to let people take advantage of you as long as they don't hold public office?

I'm not saying governmental anti-disinformation campaigns will be perfect, or even good. Just that what we have now with the privatizing of truthiness is completely broken, so why not try a different approach?
This is a very interesting result that (if it holds up) demonstrates increased demand for housing due to remote work that coincides with decreased demand for commercial space. Perhaps it is obvious that when someone switches to remote work that they also tend to have larger houses (at least 1 extra room dedicated to an office). In my case, I bought property with enough land to add a converted shed as my office.
