I feel like there are still too many hands in this particular cookie jar. MFA or no. On average, how many other organizations & human developers are somehow involved in the dependency graph of a modern node.js project?

I fail to see how MFA resolves the fundamental trust equation. Bad code is bad code, doesn't matter what the authentication system says about the actor's identity. I can create 2FA-enabled GH accounts all day named after JK Rowling characters without anyone at GH sending me a security nastygram or banning me for identity violations.

Until GitHub requires government-issued photo ID in addition to MFA, I don't think you are going to properly discourage bad or criminal actors. To be clear: I strongly disagree with any notion that GitHub should require photo ID to open an account. But, perhaps a "verified user" option (extending to "verified org" if all users are compliant) might provide another path.
Maybe someone that doesn't hold your domain hostage because of a false positive, with no recourse. Not all companies are that bad.
It was blocking on all platforms. I was using a DEC Alpha and a Sun (some pizza box) to code and a Windows PC for Word and Mail. I think I didn't bother much with browsing on Windows. Too unstable and underpowered back then but it changed quickly. The Moore Law was strong at Intel in the 90s.
> The article is being clever and recontextualising the concept, because that’s what cements a use case in peoples minds.

Awesome! Gotta remember that line when I make shit up! Hurrah for This brave new world where a sufficiently recontextualised concept reveals a whole new consensually derived factual basis for persuasion.
This has bitten me many times. In particular:

Slice index expressions accept any integer type. Integer subtypes can be defined, but there is no way to define a slice type that is legally indexed with only that defined type.

An expression a.b in some unfamiliar code may denote either a struct field access, or a pointer dereference followed by struct field access. We must read surrounding code (or lean on an IDE) to know which is meant. There was a lot to be said for C's -> operator, however unaesthetic it may appear to the eye.

Spot on!

During the industrial revolution life expectancy in UK was among the lowest in the world for the poorest industrial workers. Inequality was incredibly high.

Painting people in a country as being all benefiting (or being harmed) from an external factor is very misleading
I disagree, I think there are many tools we could use to quantify it. For example, Reinforcement Learning is primarily about quantifying value. Operations Research also has similar tools for estimating value. And of course, markets themselves estimate value, although a huge portion of our economy is not a market. For example, almost no businesses are internally run as a market.
No, no, I think GP means "Woke".
I doubt so, farmers in my village in France never take their cows out of the barn. They feed them with dry grass and fermented corn (ensilage) they grow.

Cow grazing is a thing of the past unless you do milk for AOP cheese or premium meat. By the way cheap beef in supermarket is actually old milk cow

As usual with these claims, chances are it's due to the fact that these positions don't pay enough to be competitive.

“Supposed” by whom?

Seems like a bad idea; if I create a lot of value, all of it for myself, I also get more power to make decisions for others?
I find it really interesting how these new large models (DALLE, GPT3, PaLM etc) are opening up new research areas that do not require the same massive resources required to actually train the models.

This may act as a counter balance to the trends of the last few years of all major research becoming concentrated in a few tech companies.
This is really cool. Maybe in the future you can make a paid version with a bunch of BI features.

In your opinion, how does it compare to PyCharm (Enterprise version) when it's all blinged out with big data tools and integrations? I recently realized that PyCharm is my Data IDE and not just my Python editor. I only use limited features though, so hard for me to compare the extent of functionalities between the two.

Edit: Well, PyCharm won't let you join two different data sources, so that's one big difference!
We'd need to abandon a hell of a lot before you start making a difference in safety that's big enough you don't need to torture it out of the the data.

Ever heard of a pension?

Edit: sorry that was a bit snarky. The point is that there are other ways to ensure people have a reasonable lifestyle once their 'working days' are over. Those schemes are probably best to be tied in some way to contributions, but they certainly don't need to be simply a savings plan, they can be a means to provide social support for those that cannot contribute to the same degree as others.
My friend made drone business startup.

This is not exactly what you ask, but he begin on air photo and geodesy and spent huge amount of money and effort on it, with really big troubles (for example once his driver left machine to go to wc, and thieves stole equipment, which costs near quarter of Million dollars).

Once he found niche of agriculture drones, and in a few months sell large truck of those drones, and now as I know, most of his business is for them.

He still sell industrial drones and provide services connected to them, like computer farm, which reconstruct 3d model of terrain from drone video.
But he talk about this less and less.
Once you transfer your domain out, make sure to take them to arbitration since you must have paid for their services. The more people take these orgs to arbitration, the more fearful they will become of making such blanket blan. There was a recent post on HN about arbitration [1]

> Unfortunate, but the only way it's sustainable.

Businesses throughout history have been sustainable without needing to ban people at random with AI. This AI hell is a new phenomenon in the past 10 years and it's purely driven by cost-cutting.
I can't judge, as I have neither any insight into the development structure (how many non-Googler so relevant work) nor complexity (how many understand the deepest details of the compiler etc.) but I have seen different Open Sources Projects die a slow death after the primary developer went way. Everybody depended on the "free" labour being done and once gone one couldn't find agreement on how to go on. But yes, Go's spread is big enough that it won't immediately die and Google would probably be responsible enough to transfer to Linux foundation or ASF or somebody who can help to organize a new structure.

Anyways, key point was that Google reputation was different, when Go took up. I can imagine if it would launch now it would find different reaction, which could prevent a community forming, thus less of safety.

I used it just last week. Thanks to a bad choice regarding kernel modules on Canonical's part I had an update to Ubuntu 22.04 on a Raspberry Pi leave the RPi inaccessible via Ethernet. Luckily I have the serial console on the RPi connected to another co-located device for exactly this potential situation. I was able to ssh to the other device, launch a serial terminal from there to the RPi and transfer the deb file needed to fix the problem directly to the RPi from my laptop via modem.
Similar story -- back when I worked at a physical engineering company, one of their cost-cutting methods when things got tight was to cut down the amount of time they ran the A/C during the day. This applied to all floors of the building except the one where the partners' offices were.

This led to a number of people routinely using their breaks to take the elevator up to the "partners' floor" and cooling off / airing their sweaty BO for the bosses' benefit.

If I want my messages to stay away from the public Internet, why would I even want to receive message content over unencrypted email? That makes no sense. Receiving notifications while I am not even logged in also makes little sense because I obviously did not consent to them. And having optional E2EE lets you choose which kinds of messages you don't mind leaking.
I think the Elixir/Phoenix community is very excited about LiveView, but I wouldn't say settled. I'd guess only a very small fraction of serious Phoenix apps use it, and most new ones are probably still going to go with some sort of SPA, at least for the time being.

Interesting product, I'm curious how the ongoing fees (operations and maintenace, etc.) are managed. Does the provider of the installation take a cut? Does Legends do the O&M?
I don't think that necessarily tracks: having a test-bed be reusable can mean you get more flights, can carry more payloads, and study many different things. Which for exploring something as complex as hypersonic flight, has obvious attractions. The research vehicle that has done the most study of hypersonic flight to-date is almost certainly the North American X-15, which did 199 flights over 9 years, and it was fully reusable and not related to a weapon in any way.

This presumes, of course, that the cost of turn-around for reflight is <<< the cost of building a new one. This is obviously true for normal airplanes but was probably only barely true for the Space Shuttle. So there is a continuum here, a point where the between-flight inspection and cleaning costs do loom large enough to not be worth it.

Right!

On the other hand, any real code IDE will have high-quality autocomplete, jump-to-definition, all that code IDE stuff. In the future DataStation may be able to hook into tree-sitter or LSP but for now it's more like a textarea with syntax highlighting (although the SQL code panel autocomplete is relatively complete).

Similarly, SQL IDEs have better exploration of your database. DataStation can't tell you about which tables or schemas exist yet (although I want it to in the future).

DataStation competes more directly with Python scripts than with SQL IDEs and code IDEs (although there is of course overlap).

Ah, you're absolutely right. I rewrote some parts of my comment a few times and accidentally removed the bit that actually connected it haha.

My point was that Go seems to have managed to be successful (for some reasonable definitions of "successful") despite at least one large deficiency. In fact, it is the same deficiency for which Java's success can be said to be surprising, though Java had ~20 years fewer history to draw upon. (Java is relevant because it's what the parent comment was comparing Go to.) It is disappointing to me that Go had a really good position to provide a new language in a specific niche, but they squandered at least one significant aspect of the language design due to (in my opinion) a lack of knowledge in the relevant area. This despite being designed by "experts at the top of their field", as the parent comment noted.

My reading of it is that it isn't the soda, it's having the bean counter become an authority that can make decisions.

It's a general problem of being, as the Brits put it, "penny wise, pound foolish".

Some bod in accounts can show an obvious change in the bottom line by cutting a cheap perk. The problems in retention, hiring, delivery are all someone else's problem and much harder to quantify.
Funny enough, rowing, in all it's Olympic glory still isn't sure what the optimal oar size or length is. There's some contention over what the right surface area and geometry is with many higher performance groups using older designs now as they feel the current generation is oversized and with too short a shaft.
It reminded me of the automated tape library systems of the last century (I imagine that some of those might still be in operation).

I think the most pressing issue is chip shortages.
Yeah, those numbers seem off. My Y gets at least 250 miles/charge and using expensive superchargers in California would put it around $30/charge. I'd expect worst case to be about $150 each way. Superchargers around here are time of use based and could be half of that cost, plus I'd start from my home charger so it only goes down in price from there. Also, if you're stopping every 2 hours that wouldn't take long to charge up. It's not fun traveling long distance with infants no matter what kind of car you have though.

It's one thing if DALL-E 2 was trying to map words in the prompt to their letter sequences and failing because of BPEs; that shows an impressive amount of compositionality but it's still image-model territory. It's another if DALL-E 2 was trying to map the prompt to semantically meaningful content and then failing to finish converting that content to language because it's too small and diffusion is a poor fit for language generation. That makes for worse images but it says terrifying things about how much DALL-E 2 has understood the semantic structure of dialog in images, and how this is likely to change with scale. Normally I'd expect the physical representation to precede semantic understanding, not follow it!

That said I reiterate that a degree of skepticism seems warranted at this point.
Working full-time in web development, and a part time farmer after work and weekends. My farmer activity is mainly growing food for the family. Taking care of fruit trees and olives trees. I do my own olive oil. Have a few chickens and pig to have a meat supply. The work never ends that is for sure, but the possibility to drink awesome orange juice for two months at zero cost is just incredible. The down side of it is I cannot eat fruit sold in supermarket, the taste is to different. Farming and development are two things I enjoy a lot, farming at the end of the day is like a decompression from the days work, away from screens, refill vitamin D. Chopping some wood after work with an axe: tremendous to relief stress an keep me fit. Of course my idea is to able to join both activities somehow, maybe trying to have a part time in web Dev, or making a project where both areas are involved. Possibly when I will be tired of working for companies, meetings with managers and bad scrum masters
Is this finally a need for a xenolinguist?
for a position that is well paid there is competition. it is a risk to take someone who took a year off. any kind of manager will think that way. obviously if the pay is low and the tech is not changing every month then it is not a problem
If you're selling enterprise software then the important number is not "number of employees" but "number of employees who would use your software". In large retail, manufacturing, oil etc companies they have a lot of software of course, but each person is typically accessing 4 or 5 apps at most (email, office suite, HR, etc). In FAANG companies each employee involved in software development is often using closer to 30 apps (project management, comms, source control, bug tracking, telemetry, server management, i18n, etc). It makes sense to focus on FAANG companies if you're producing enterprise software simply because they buy more of it. That obviously doesn't mean there isn't a huge market outside of that as well.
The implication being that targeted layoffs are less damaging to morale than getting rid of free soda?

You don’t need 90% of what you think you need before launching a product.

We didn’t have a “change email address” flow for two years. Instead we focused on the product. That’s what buyers really care about.

You need this stuff eventually - SAML included — but not before you launch and refine your product.
> When you see a retail establishment with a partly burned out sign, and it doesn't get fixed quickly, you know they're in trouble.

As others have already mentioned, this only holds true for a specific kind of store and market. Many businesses don’t care to fix their sign. The Safeway near me had a broken sign for almost two years.
I'm surprised. Latest JVM versions are tuned really well out of the box. Tuning is a good thing by the way. Its the reason Java can handle areas that Go can't.

I'm going to sidestep all your questions and ask:

Do you really want to build a business?

Because that is what you'll be doing. You'll be focusing on marketing, sales, and whatever else needs doing, shifting your focus away from software development. Especially as it grows.

There's nothing wrong with focusing on business, but if you are a hacker of 15 years experience, you might really enjoy, well, hacking. And business, while it can be viewed as an interesting system to tweak, most definitely is not software development.

You are correct. Words with repeated letters are not a good strategy in this game.
When it comes to practical guides, I HIGHLY recommend the book RefactoringUI by Steve Schoger!(creator of TailwindCSS.)

Unlike popular books in design that people talk about like "The Design of Everyday Things" or "Don't Make Me Think"(which teach design from a perspective of usability and human psychology, very important as well), RefactoringUI goes into the actual implementations of design.

For example, he talks about how he thinks about padding in elements, shadows vs borders, rounded corners, choosing font sizes/font colors and etc.(It's rare to find books to be *this practical because web design is constantly changing and it's hard to not be outdated)

I also recommend designcode.io courses. They are also extremely practical, even going into things like keyboard shortcuts on Figma, plugins you can use to Skew elements, etc.

Both resources are known to be a "developer's guide to design", which I think you may appreciate!

That being said, making a website look "nice" is only the frosting on the cake! Don't over-optimize on the looks and neglect the filling.

Claims like this are in general not well-founded. There is no objective way to determine the value of a thing outside of the economy. If there were, and if it were meaningful such that $ value converges to the "real value" economy would be a trivial game. So, really what you propose cannot exist.
