My experience with those contexts is that there can't be 10x engineers, but not really for that reason. 10x engineers do well in contexts where there are _hard_ problems. There really aren't 10x engineers for _messy_ problems. Most mundane systems aren't _hard_ but _messy_, especially with regards to customer requirements. These include most:

- Inventory management systems

- Employee records systems

- Health care records systems

- Etc.

Most of this work is about:

- Managing legacy tools and systems, much of which is diving into some complex mess for a few days to change one line of code

- Managing odd-ball one-off use-cases. If the customer has coupon code X, and is in Minnesota, do Y. If an employee was laid off on the last day in February in a leap year, do Z. Etc. These glum on and make spaghetti, and a lot of coding is just about getting stuff like this done.

- Long, boring meetings

- Documentation and, if you're lucky, test infrastructure

- ... and so on.

Technical performance matters a lot less than a whole bunch of other skills, and in most cases, hiring criteria are often "has a pulse." Most such systems use an "enterprise" stack (e.g. Java+Oracle or Microsoft tools).
BTW in case anybody is looking for help learning Nim, the Nim Discord was pretty helpful. I wrote a simple text file parser and ran into an annoying issue with the compiler reporting indentation errors which were really issues unrelated to indentation, so I asked there.

Turns out they have a community pastebin-type compiler for sharing code, and within a few minutes a couple others shared back fixes to my source. Really convenient compared to pulling one's hair out for a couple hours...
Trippin' on Hype – Sol Sweet – Friday 27 May
A simple "pre-ordering"-queue seems it would decrease scalper interest as well (?) as it would be much more risky to order a bunch, hope you get early in the queue and sell to people who might get their machine just little time later.

Let people put up a small deposit as well for getting a place in the queue, and it'll be deducted whenever you buy the machine. Keep the deposit if you cancel your place in line. Would incentivize less manipulation as well.

I've been trying to get a PS5 for 2 years now, and I refuse to pay some scalper 200USD more than market price, out of principle. (But I guess that is also why I still don't have one :) )
Hue Ambiance, night shift and light/dark according to time of day on both phone and laptop really seem to help me feel awake and also get right to sleep
I'm utterly fascinated, big knot fan and I didn't know this one, but it's a combination of parts I knew.

It's really strange to me though, and it's probably a culture thing, because for this use case literally everybody I know would use a bowline knot (https://www.animatedknots.com/bowling-knot), possibly with an extra lock to make sure it does not untie if there's no tension. This observation comes from a French sailing background, hence the probable cultural bias.

Could you educate me as of where the trucker's hitch is better? (to me the bowtie feels simpler, no possible slippage and easy to untie after a load)
They do this already. Like others mentioned, they have retail partners that they have to play nice with.
> Imagine a Ukrainian asking for the nearest police station in Russia right now.

> Or someone wearing a thin blue line asking for directions at a stereotypical leftist college campus.

I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if in either case the person who is lost gets the help they need.

The world is full of assholes, but they are the minority compared to the majority of helpful people, especially when it comes to simple things such as direction. Speak the local language helps of course.
Even if the cost of charging my EV increased 500% it would still be cheaper than putting gas in my ICE vehicle.
I just don't know if that's what sustains the people working on the oss parts of the project, so it was all a big supposition on my side.

Like, if someone sees a business opportunity for selling proprietary modules, to the point of hiring people, making a team, and creating an oss project to support it all, then without those commercial parts the open pieces of that project wouldn't even have been written to begin with, right?
The scuttlebutt I hear is Kubernetes is stealing its lunch money.

Again, referring to what used to be PCF. Hence why the more modern Tanzu is K8s based.
I really don't see the point. We have lots of communication platforms because they largely have different feature sets, different strengths, weaknesses, etc.

All the compatibility shims and bridges between platforms have been largely disappointing. You reduce the experience to a lowest common denominator of features which is the worst of all worlds. The Matrix paid subscription bridges are the best implementation of this I have ever used but I still frequently check Telegram after sending from matrix because I don't have faith that my message was accurately represented on the other side. Plain text largely works fine but you have no idea if a link embed worked, if your sticker shows up properly. Even for an image, when you send in matrix, it often shows as an uncompressed image on Telegram which is sometimes what you want but usually not. But since matrix has no concept of compressed vs uncompressed images you don't get the UI to select like you do on the real Telegram client.
As Chris notes in the article, the 1980s "micom" history in Japan is largely undocumented (in Japanese or English), despite being a main part of the foundation of the Japanese gaming industry. There are countless undocumented games from the era, many of them being type-in programs that were printed in magazines. Thankfully, more and more of these magazines are being preserved online nowadays, making discoveries like this one possible.
If your WAF is terminating TLS, can't it also initiate outgoing TLS connections? In this case the ephemeral Diffie-Hellman secrets would be created on the WAF, so it would have full ability to inspect traffic.
Having worked with people in positions high positions, it's very hard to tell:

- an idiot from someone pretending to be an idiot (e.g. for likeability)

- someone smart from someone pretending to be smart, by virtue of a high-performance team behind them prepping them

It's showbiz.
> Indeed, and this is one of the points Agile gets furthest from real world.

It's one of the parts the Manifesto gets most right about the real world.

> That's what I talk about methodologies having to subject themselves to the environment. Agilists seem to dream about inverting things in this regard.

I don't know “Agilists” in any general sense, I do know that adapting methodology to the specific (and shifting over time on a single project/product) combination of team, context, and task is the central focus of the Agile Manifesto.
Both of those statements convince me even more that this is a bad idea. While the author's past experience is important, it has little bearing on the current PR. Same for similar code change. In code review, the skill/history of the developer is only really relevant when writing comments. You should look for the same potential mistakes and logic errors in a Senior or Junior developers PR. Adding the developers experience as an input could easily lead to the model deferring to experience. In my mind, that makes the signal this is providing potentially harmful, not helpful.

It would be really cool if there was an android app that could identify the characteristics of a USB-c cable plugged into a phone, I could then write a label to stick to the cable for future reference.
I love Category theory, even though I know very little about it.

But I've read the basic idea is there are "objects" and (directed) relations between them. The basic idea is you can use it with anything defining your own "nouns" which relate to each other via the "arrows".

It is like Humpty Dumpty words only mean what you define them to mean. BUT to define them you must define how they relate to other words. What matters is the structure of relations/arrows between the concepts. Instead of leaving definitions in rather vague natural language everything becomes "concrete" when you can draw it as a graph of vertices and arcs.

The best experience I had learning math was a linear algebra course during which I programmed most of the formulas that were taught into my programmable pocket calculator. I learned the things well and got straight A's on every test even though that usually didn't happen with me with other courses.

So my suggestion for aspiring math students would be: Create programs that do the calculations.
I tried it and it literally just spun up a pool of VMs.

First class in my mind would be if Databricks could push down compute to the Storage Account nodes or something…

It probably wouldn't fly as a federal plan to do anything but make funding available (schools are very locally controlled AFAIK), but certainly seems possible. Not likely, though - schools are underfunded already and always the first target for cuts, so I can't see support for extra spending on them.

The most politically influential sections of the population don't send their kids to public school anyway, do you think they care? They do own shares of MIC corporations, though.

I also suspect some would oppose armed guards on the grounds that they would be more likely to harm students than protect them, and making schools even more like prisons won't look great.
People can't stand Musk because he's a capricious, overrated, immature, spoiled troll. His politics have become clearer recently but still aren't clear, so whatever tribal war you're ascribing to this situation isn't what's happening.

Ahhhh makes me glad I got a Tesla right before they ended the life time free super charging promotion :-)
I got our app up to Rails 7 and it's refreshing. I also did the hard work to replace webpacker with esbuild and dartsass. Build times went from 14 minutes to < 2m and I could shave some more of that off with a bit of effort.

I'm taking every opportunity to replace stimulus reflex with turbo and that's paying dividends, too.

Also, I've bought a 15' West Wight Potter and am doing a bunch of work on that (well, the trailer right now, but once the trailer is done I can start on the boat). Looking forward for this foundational work to start paying off when I go sailing around the islands over summer.
It's an almost impassible task. ML is reflecting the world and the data in the world. If you ask for an anime style man, they will pretty much universally generate white men because the dataset of anime characters almost universally contains white characters. The model isn't wrong, its generating exactly what exists in the world already. And there are an infinite number of scenarios and biases that it reflects which you will never be able to manually flag.

It reminds me a lot of the early self driving car debate where there were endless surveys asking if the car should run over the 2 old ladies or the one child studying medicine. And in the end we decided it was an unreasonable burden and just accepted that ML doesn't need to make impossible moral judgements.
You mention opportunity costs so I’m curious. This seems to have made $100k on release and maybe 24k per year, recurring, assuming no drop off, which is an iffy assumption.

Is this actually competitive with your earnings as a dev? Your post implies it’s more than you may usually have access to.

The answer doesn’t have to be yes for this to be a noteworthy success
Come on now, they literally cite where a gang member shooting another gang member at 1am near a school parking lot counts as a school shooting. Counting incidents like that when discussing Uvalde isn't even disingenuous, it's just a blatant lie.

I think society can agree that 13 Uvalde's since 1966 is too many, but when you try to convince everyone that nighttime gang shootings in the parking lot near a school at 1am is a "school shooting", well now people no longer believe anything you're saying. And that's a problem because it means we'll never reach consensus. It's almost like these people selling this bullshit don't want to actually solve the problem.
For what it's worth, opnsense has suratica as a service, I've spent a good amount of time configuring it and setting up alerting on drops. The only thing it's ever alerted me to is a few malicious domains (malvertising) and my scanner making calls to Google chat (surprisingly cloud print looks a lot like gchat?).

But it happily updates it's ruleset daily, and consumes some 10-20% cpu power from my Intel c2d 3.2ghz cpu. One of these days it might pay off?
You deposit USDC as collateral into dydx (or another derivatives exchange) and then you go short the perpetual (kind of like a future). I made 150% on my account equity shorting Luna when UST fell under 0.95.
it has nothing to do with corporate use, it has to do with human use. Deep understanding of ideology just doesn't scale. You can look at any topic in nearly any field and the majority of users will reduce it to a set of heuristics and simple actions rather than understanding the foundational ideas from the most basic principles and building up to the why of actions - and then undertaking them within the an authentic respect for those principles.

Dealing with anything social, the rules don't self enforce - they aren't gravity.
So basically, very few false positive but lots of false negative is the tradeoff made by Codeball?
Ultra-rapid fast charging really should only be used on long road trips, which is likely a fraction of the average driver's mileage. The vast majority of EV charging should be slow charging at home, where the owner should be able to time their electricity usage so they are always paying around the cheapest rate.

So even if this is true, it probably will only have a negligible effect on the total operating cost for an EV.
Less of a global sales pitch for Nim (I'm a shoo-in from Pascal), but I found this today and thought it was neat:

Small bit of feedback! I wonder how it would impact the homepage to inset the thumbnails within the comment and shrink them. It could make a pretty big impact on use of real estate. On mobile, i had to scroll pretty far between comments.
That wouldn't change much unfortunately a couple cops can't fight a crazy with an AR-15.
Apple is really good at losing patent cases in court, even when someone sues using a patent copied verbatim from Apple itself (S3TC - road pizza video codec)
Completely agreed, for the way the patent system actually works in practice.

There is a theory that patent rights can encourage inventors to publish their invention, so that everybody benefits in the long run. This is a nice theory, except it doesn't hold up in practice (at least in the tech industry) because (1) patent language is so obfuscated that it is not a useful source of knowledge; and (2) the threat of triple damages means that no (honest) practitioner in their right mind would ever read a patent other than their own.

It is possible that in other, slower moving industries, people do get some minor value from reading expired patents. Though somehow I doubt it: in our industry, the useful inventions spread through other channels, and I suspect the same is true everywhere.
And that is exactly why you need growth. In a more primitive society the subsistence farming and basic low-value manufacturing are all there is. As technology and capitalism ascend to greater heights you start to get more opportunities for creativity and ingenuity, and enough excess to create the leisure for more high-minded pursuits.
A noble instinct but misplaced in this case. Regardless, thank you for sharing, and congrats on your accomplishments!

So 26.10pounds * (1.26 dollar/1pound) / (64kWh * 0.8)... that's $0.63/kWh.

At EPA specified 33.7kWh equivalent per gallon of gas, that'd be 21.56$/"gallon" of electricity. On average!

Yikes. We direly need to invest in scaling up environmentally friendly energy generation, in delivering it.

I don't have huge sympathy for drivers per se, but civilization needs energy, and we haven't invested enough effort into scaling out alternative energy.
It worked for me. Heres what I did.

1. Login and go to the Youtube homepage

2. Scroll down and click "Not Interested" on every video you don't want recommended anymore.

3. Keep scrolling until you hit the bottom (there _is_ a bottom, it just takes a while to get there)

4. Scroll back to the top of the home page and click reload.

5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 one more time. You'll notice that the frequency of minecraft video recommendations goes down, but some are still getting through.

After your second run through, you should be good for ~6-9 months. At this point it's much easier to keep up with. Maybe once a year I start to see political videos creep up again but I just click not interested on 4-5 of them and they disappear again. This whole process only took about 10 minutes. Highly recommended if you're getting sick of the algorithm guessing wrong.

Hopefully this helps!

I'm not sure about that.

An intentional massive short of Luna and UST at the same time could have had disastrous effects (since UST needed Luna for collateralization).

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/terra-luna/
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/terrausd/

So if you can flood UST and LUNA with enough volume to drop the price, you could send LUNA into a massive selloff. UST would then start to flood LUNA with shares which would accelerate the sell off.

It's nothing specific to recent supply chain disruptions. The problem is that manufacturers have relatively inflexible capacity. Scaling foundry capacity isn't as easy as scaling cloud resources; they can't just decide to produce 10x as much product in a given month. Simultaneously, these are status goods for which consumers place a high premium on having the latest and greatest. Even with perfectly functioning supply chains, the market price for such goods is always going to be high on release and taper off as supply increases.
That sounds wonderful! This project is primarily focused on people who want to self-host a google maps replacement, but self-hosting isn't for everyone so I think it would be really cool to host an instance that would work for most people. I'd love for it to grow beyond that though, because lots of people need tiles for static maps or other uses. I will need to re-architect the docker config a bit before it will work at planet scale, because right now mbtiles are bundled with the tileserver image.

Probably you are going to be mad at me, but I give it a try.
My advice (genXer) to the genZer generation is, stop being so scared about what other people think of you, lay down you phone more often (leave it at home) and go do some relaxing stuff like going to concerts or festivals, spend more time outside (unless you are 365 days a year in a cold environment) and seek more people that leave their phone at home too...

Take more risks in finding out what your purpose is here on this planet, if playing safe and live a boring life is really your thing after finding out then you have all my respect, but at least explore...

Be careful with addictions of any kind as they slave you, especially smartphones, gambling, cigarettes and hard drugs, stay away from debts as well...

Try to stay free and try to define your own path as much as can...

Success, you can do it as most of us did it...
Yep :)

Unfortunately, guns is a US problem, not a SF one. Within that, most violence is between people who know each other, so that's a funny one to work through. We moved our Oakland office to SF not long after watching a drive-by shooting of a downtown subway bus stop during a product strategy meeting: avoiding being the collateral damage is the tricky calculation here.

I am indeed moving out, but due to the city failing at its homeless programs + the historic property crime levels. (Parking a car shouldn't be a game of chance where you factor in the chance of theft & broken windows into the meter cost!) Simply going outside is annoying at this point, while there are amazing areas all around the bay area where that's still a joy.

I'd say just try it out for yourself with these simple examples: https://nim-by-example.github.io/

Here's a nice link comparing memory safety of C, Zig, Rust and Nim – https://uploads.peterme.net/nimsafe.html – which was inspired by this post: https://www.scattered-thoughts.net/writing/how-safe-is-zig/
Exactly! I’m being downvoted, but I’m sincerely suggesting that we train a full spectrum of ideologically biased censorship engines and then let people pick which ones they want to use.

It’s no different from parental filters.
I thought I would never use it. Then I lost work charging. It's been a lifesaver.
The problem is that, as you say, examiners usually lack ordinary skill in the art. Judges likewise. And there is never a shortage of "experts" who will testify (for a fee, of course) to how hard this was in retrospect.
> At EPA specified 33.7kWh per gallon, that'd be 21.56$/"gallon" of electricity.

That's such a roundabout way of saying "fast charging in the UK costs the same as gasoline in the US"
Irrational? If you derive enjoyment from a product, why wouldn't you want to pay to have it a bit sooner?
You missed the important part at the end. At _this_ point I've waited another 2 years and really want the new stuff rather than what I missed out on.

Why? More future proof interfaces. DDR5, PCIe 5, AM5(?) etc.
It's also actively hostile, imo, that phones & laptops wont tell you things like the charge rate or voltage they're charging at.

The desire to make things simple for consumers has run amok & utterly obstructed there being a path to letting consumer who want to know figure out how things are behaving.
Have you ever read an old init.rc? I suggest you go do so. Daemontools was a reaction to the deficiencies of systemv init, and that it was not getting updated.

Initrc has always supported "Run this, and run it again if it exits". That's not quite enough for a modern init system, but it's also not far off. Upstart and systemd capture the few additional things that are necessary. It should be in init's job to run daemons. Perhaps pid 1's only job - all the one-time setup that is required should be executed by another pid1 process before daemons start at all, and then you exec into a parallel daemon runner process.
If that’s what the people who live in an area want, that’s a democratic outcome. Democratic outcomes are something that I’m inclined to support absent compelling evidence why they should be thrown out.
I keep waiting for something like this for Rust. Call it the BatteriesIncluded2022 crate and do an annual release cycle. If it could get a nod from the official Rust maintainers, all the better. Something that is roughly analogous to the Python/Go standard libraries allowing to stand up quite a bit more software without pulling in a hundred different crates.
opt-in would be nice...
