I don't know about that. I left civil engineering for finance a couple of years ago. Changing was actually a lot less painful than I thought it would be (I might even say it was fun), and I'm way happier now. There was a couple of years as I found my feet where the pay wasn't quite as good, but that reversed pretty quickly and I'm ahead now again.

Transferable skills are a real thing. Also, the amount of people who can do the everyday work in any industry is endless, so don't worry too much about that. It's the ability to come at things from a different perspective that's rare and it really sets you apart.

Agreed. As it is, it's a great pre-step.

Skipping code review is depriving the team of an opportunity to learn about the new incoming change, and depriving them of sharing knowledge (better implementations, business context, etc.)
Re downvote, my bad must be someone else.

Só, on to this myth that needs to die: the US Constitution most certainly doesn’t provide for violent overthrow of the government by one group of citizens.

The Declaration of Independence is not a legal document, and if it hadn’t reflected the actual will of the people in that time and place, would have exposed the would be revolutionaries to punishment as mere criminals.
In the words of a certain founding father “we surely must hang together or we shall all hang separately “

Treason is the charge.

Só, get that out of your head.
Read our actual constitution!

It’s a really short document, actually, and full of evidence of people arguing about topics, but no where does it provide for violent overthrow

Constructivism. Linear logic, geometry of interaction, transcendental syntax.
While searching for other "simple proofs" I found one published in 2004 that is also only 4 pages. But more interestingly, I found a proof that claims the Higgs Boson mass and other specific data in the Standard Model are yielded, precisely, by the proof of the four color theorm. [0]

I guess professors just want their students to succeed after graduating and award everyone straight A's. Especially because assignments in senior years are fuzzier, not like "you solved 4 out of 5 equations, here's B for you" in a junior year.

It seems all encryption is not theoretically guaranteed to appear random, but practically speaking it’s nearly impossible to do.

For example, there’s no known way to do this against AES, which is used prominently in HTTPS.

I still feel like I must be missing something, because this fact would be obvious to SETI researchers…

Income and wealth after Gen X is trending down for same age groups according to your sources. It also follows the conclusion from this talk [1].

Another thing to keep in mind is with decreasing birth rates, future generations will have a higher tax burden to support the aging costs of the previous generations.

It’s not pedantry to point out that GP has directly and completely contradicted the original essay. I’m no ESR fanboy (there are better places to get a blend of has-been technical commentary and cunnilingus HOWTO), but the whole BDFL routine is cathedral all the way, with the possible exception of Linux.
Yeah, at the time SQLite existed both as an archetypal example of "relational databases bad" and a case of "especially this one that isn't even a 'real' RDBMS".
Grad admissions committees vary quite a lot from program to program, in terms of how they value different admissions criteria. if your kid is interested in research don’t let grades faze them.

There is no such legal right to violent recourse.

Zero.

Só, the notion of keeping guns in case you feel like overthrowing the government is NOT constitutional.

The constitution DOES provide for peaceful transfers of power between elected officials.

Read our actual founding document instead of repeating lies:

How to Sleep (2017)
> That’s what a market is.

To win me you need to consider the difference between a free market vs. a coerced or highly regulated one; the dynamics likely change.

> even central governments don’t set the value of money

And the difference between real and nominal rates? I'd say your statement is largely true but that doesn't mean a central bank doesn't try to manipulate real rates. That's actually their charter... price stability.

However, there is a strong argument to be made that they're not very good at it and can make things worse. The last year of exceptionally high inflation is a rather obvious real-world example.

> Nobody needs you to keep money in a mattress

Maybe true, but the question isn't what do others need... it's who gets to allocate my capital? I contend it should be me, you seem to think otherwise. Why should the government actively try to de-value people's savings? Is it a good thing to squeeze elderly retirees back into the work-force?

This is what you're implying when you say "Devaluing in-the-mattress savings is a good thing". It could be a bad thing; again esp. for pensioners and people who don't have better investment opportunities.

It's not just a question of "does the theory hold water" but also one of morality. This is why I think the phrase "in-the-mattress savings" is loaded and full of hooey. It just sounds like you're telling me I'm an idiot and can't be trusted to spend my own money wisely? It's not convincing and quite insulting to boot! Lol

I believe savings is always a good thing and it's up to the individual to determine their own preference in terms of allocation; some under a mattress and maybe some in a shoebox or some short General Dynamics puts.

The point is it's up to the individual. Why should someone else have a say when they haven't been entrusted? That is the very gist. Why should someone else have a say when they haven't been entrusted?

Freedom and liberty vs. tyranny. That's it... you're going to have a hard time convincing me that financial repression is the moral high ground.
You'll be relieved to hear that those models already have censorship engines built in to try to prevent them generating problematic content.

Never run pip outside a virtualenv. Never install packages with pip —local. I saw a team of data scientists who could never keep their environments working because they did the later. Don’t waste your time with anaconda.
As the saying goes “so what if we made the world better for nothing”.

So what if there’s a replaceable genius. We still have people who are dying and slaving away not being able to contribute in a more meaningful way.

Is there a more noble goal than reducing human suffering and enabling people to maximize their potential?
Agreed. Deploying apps at the edge is a shiny new toy that companies with good marketing teams are pushing as the next big thing. Most products or services don’t need it. We will eventually find a good niche for edge computing instead of it being marketed as a thing everyone should use.
It can still surprise you. A lot of CDNs transfer media over plain HTTP.

The SVG posters are cool, if you're looking for some feedback try to find some way to reduce the lag on the site when previewing them. In Safari on a M1 the site slows to a crawl once the poster SVG is loaded, each click takes several seconds to register. Maybe you could do a low res server side rendered version? That could you let users preview their repos without them being able to just right-click the SVG as well

Yes but if you buy all his stocks you get a big chunk of Amazon, the company. If you buy up the rest of it held by other people you’d have all of the warehouses, brand equity, employment contracts, software, computers, and inventory. All of it.

The market cap has some relationship (not 1:1 but strongly correlated) to what you’d have to pay to get all that stuff. And if you’d had that stuff you’d be rich. Because those things, together, are intensely valuable and capable of producing cash flow.

By contrast if you bought up 100% of a specific cryptocurrency you’d have nothing. Like absolutely nothing at all.

This is literal. Do a thought experiment and decide what would happen if somehow you suddenly took possession of every single Bitcoin in existence and nobody else could get one without you giving it to them. What, exactly, do you think would happen then?
How well does the scenario scale in this sense that there could be hash collisions across the number of projects available on GitHub? Or was it simplified in its search for a SHA hash only?

I would imagine some hash collisions between all repositories in GitHub exist at this point.

It seems weird that “preparation for a child” means owning your own home.

I never would have had kids if I waited that long.

I get that it’s perverse how we place so much of the cost of raising children in parents. At the same time, waiting until you’re “already established” is too much.

You may have had great reasons for doing this. But if this becomes a widely accepted expectation we are going to relying heavily on immigration.

Ah, good point. I'm able to build Vaultwarden with stable Rust, so maybe it's just a requirement for development. Vaultwarden lifts web-vault from Bitwarden, which uses Node, but you aren't required to run it with web-vault.
Depends on how you define management. On the best teams I’ve worked on the gal with the title actually knew the details and managed them.

I’ve worked on teams where there was a hood ornament manager and the real manager, usually carrying a Tech Lead semi-title.

Interestingly enough I’ve seen both be effective, but it’s a hell of a lot easier in the former case.
It's a tuple of length one with an array of u8. A tuple is an anonymous struct with special fields that are numerical, note that also tuples can be accessed by index syntax. Some distinction from empty braces is necessary because "naked" empty braces are for code blocks. It's only unintuitive to you because it's different and you're not used to it yet.
I certainly would love to live in a society where convenient efficient public transport is the primary option. Sitting in traffic for hours a week is the bizarre choice. I often ride or catch a train to work past all the cars stuck in a horrible slow crawling gridlock.
I totally hear what you're saying - but to be honest, I didn't mention it because I feel weird about it in a way. When you make posts like these, you inherently draw attention to yourself - so I kinda try to be cognizant of that and not try to puff out my chest, so to speak. Hope that makes sense.

It could be a bug in a third party service that didn't shut down properly or wasn't integrated with systemd properly. You should not put a blame on systemd without investagating first.
That is absolutely amazing. Congratulations. I remember the day when I launched online video conferencing service HeyHello.video. I broke my server the day it was launched.

There were times the load on server was so much I would spin off new servers in real time and paid business users used to see difference right away.

The trick is to launch, get feedback and iterate. And above all listen to your customers.

Yes! I’ve built startup with Meteor in 2014-2017 and came back to it this year for my current job and I want to say it is still the best. It’s the only thing that works out of the box. I can get designers and PMs running it locally in minutes and have them help make things pretty in css/html etc

Amplify: I’ve worked with Amplify but it’s not production ready, they change and break things and you have to intimately know cloudformation. Developers used to wait for me to fix the problems. It was taking a lot of time from me to keep things reproducible across all dev environments. You don’t have time for this stuff when you run a startup and you have to prove business is viable.
IDK. Such Bitcoin operarios probably aren't $0.08 anymore, and have unpleasant externalities. And not sure I want all my repos public. Also could be some MITM attacks in there somewhere.
I think it allows the parser to be context-free since otherwise it is tricky to distinguish it from a code block. They could have picked a different sigil, but I think . was landed on because it had the fewest semantic conflicts with other concepts in the language (for example % is used to denote modular arithmetic)
I went to Harvard for 2 years, and started out strongly considering CS as a major, but eventually went into the humanities. I definitely did get discouraged. I think for me the biggest part was that their intro class at the time was for both complete novices and people who'd done the computer science AP. Meaning it was SUPER fast and super stressful. And things just continued from there. The point of taking these classes was just to flail around and try not to drown, while having more coursework than my other 3 classes combined.

If they had had an "intro for beginners" and "accelerated intro", I would have probably stayed in the program. Also if their upper-level courses weren't like 60 hours of homework per week for one class. At a certain point I realized I just simply didn't have the stamina to do 60 hours for one class and all my other classes. So it was sort of like applying to be a doctor -- you know one of the prereqs is rotations where you don't sleep for 2 days straight, and if you can't do that, then for some reason, you can't be a doctor.
Interesting. Never tried dgsh before, but yea it looks like my poor-man's CLI workflow for a lot of tasks
>are you so good at running your own db that the people a cloud provider would put on the job would be definitely and probably significantly worse at it than you?

Most of the time, I don't need to be as good or better then the cloud provider. I just need to "be good enough".
Forgive me if my statistic caused the topic to stray away from the issue of teacher safety. The recent tragedy in Uvalde did involve the deaths of more students than teachers, which I assume is typical for such events, but on the other hand there are probably more teachers than school students leaving comments on this topic, so you're right, it may be better to limit consideration to just professions for now.
> Awaiting a patent lawyer who does this every day

I am a registered patent attorney (*), but I don't practice in patent prosecution.

> a fly swatting device ... And you would say in your spec ...

You're alluding to means-plus-function claiming. "An element in a claim for a combination may be expressed as a means or step for performing a specified function ... and such claim shall be construed to cover the corresponding structure, material, or acts described in the specification and equivalents thereof." (35 USC 112(f) or pre-AIA 35 USC 112 sixth paragraph).

> You should not have claim elements that are known in the art, and furthermore, you'd have failed to claim the book, newspaper, magazine, etc. methods of killing the fly.

As a strategic matter, I agree because you usually want to claim the broadest, most essential form of an invention, and that's a good reason to use means-plus-function claiming. The presence of prior art elements in a claim, however, do not invalidate the claim because (1) for a prior art reference to anticipate a claim, all elements must be present in the prior art reference (all elements rule), and (2) for non-anticipating prior art references to render a claim obvious, the claim must be considered as a whole, not element-by-element. (35 USC 103, "...such that the claimed invention as a whole would have been obvious...").

(*) Not your attorney, not legal advice, etc.
Thanks for building this! Is there any way to predict/visualize what it'll look like X years into the future? That'd be pretty cool to look at.
Genuinely curious on what people’s thoughts are on ever using manual memory management?

Are there many large programs (outside of embedded) where it ever really makes sense?

I ask because I am a fan of C, and I am sure there will always be old legacy C code, but is manual memory management essentially antiquated?
I'd say just spin up a SecurityOnion stack. It's essentially a "SOC-in-a-box". I had a proof of concept machine spun up and generating alerts off of replayed PCAPs in a day.

> we were thinking about ways to reduce the waiting-for-code-review

Code reviews should be an interrupt for everything except downtime mitigation.

Reviewing your peer's code quickly will cause them to do the same to you. It is a virtuous circle.

Hah! I wish someone like you had been on my last team. I was always thinking this exact thing. Unfortunately, the last manager was a true agile professional, and would keep the Zoom call running until we all contributed something to the "retrospective document" that got shared out.
Or you can see it the other way around: if it wasn't for the money those closed-source modules make for them (presumably?), there might be no Rocket.Chat at all, open source or not.
There is indeed a conflict between two different packages being used for acpi type stuff. For me, I had to sort it out, to get suspend to ram to work(S3) with my laptop.

So,
1) there’s no constitutional reference at all to any right to violent overthrow or any such nonsense, as a cursory read of the US constitution will establish. Zero .
https://constitutioncenter.org/media/files/constitution.pdf

2) you complain about political division but then somehow think that a unified group known as “the people” will join together in overthrowing their own democratic government?

Uhhh that’s a recipe for civil war. My armed group doesn’t agree with your armed group, which one of us is “the people”?
> I think for those intuitive situations the vehicles could even be driven remotely by a real person in a data center.

They already are.
Certainly if something is purchased infrequently or by few people it will not provide enough data to learn how about how purchasing power has eroded. Houses are a poor fit no matter how you slice it as the typical person will buy very few in their lifetime, with often decades between purchases. We like to track inflation on a monthly basis. That requires things that most people purchase on much more regular schedule to see how their behaviour is changing on a regular schedule.
Well it's not surprising considering /pol/ is the most popular board on the entire site. That means pol is 4chan. Containment board my ass, that's why half the people are there in the first place, Nazi first and hobbyist second. It seeps everywhere. They can't even talk about something as benign as food or cars without inevitably devolving into some insane frothing at the mouth rant over the slightest unrelated disagreements.

It's not a hit piece, 4chan is just really low hanging fruit.
> Every source I've looked at puts the minimal land area for food production for one human at about two hectares with traditional agriculture, and maybe half that with modern industrial double cropping methods.

You yourself said that technology doubled the output with the same input.

The whole articles point is that tech enables us to get more from what we have, to support growth. Maybe enough smart Americans will find a way to double it again, so the US can support 660M people with our 166 Hectares. Maybe then we’ll support 1.2B after a new invention!

Maybe they’ll discover a way to grow plants with salt water allowing use of the ocean while saving the freshwater. Maybe then they’ll find a way to make hydroponics less material intense, and they’ll build floating farms on the ocean, giving us more “land”. Given enough smart people, there’s so much more room for growth. That’s the point. We’re not at the breaking point yet.
Largely agree, but I wouldn’t say grad classes are rubber stamped. In the program I was in, the courses were rigorous, but the encouraged attitude was “B’s get degrees.” If you had a 4.0, you weren’t focused enough on research
