well I guess the point would be:

1. if you know regex but for a particular language, this takes care of having to learn the different variants of regex because it will compile down to the version you want.

2. it is a more approachable syntax, so easier to learn.

3. because it is still a regex syntax given that you probably know a bit of regex already you can get better at it by learning this.

any others I forgot?

I think there are SSG front-ends that are quite good.

I find that writing in HTML is fiddly for regular blogging but I do agree it's a lower barrier to entry than it seems for simply writing a single page.

When I show people my text-file SSG system, they love writing in markdown, they love that the site is 'portable', but they don't tend to want to get involved with the templating etc.

The question is about the literal meaning of the joke, he knows what a pole is within the context of calculus. He didn't understand within the context of the joke what lead to the crash.

Universities (also western ones!!) are spitting out more and more SWEs with less talent... great talent still exists, and you need to find and retain it, and guess what, even the eastern european and indian talent jumps ship and payscale.

And for just complete cheap outsourcing, proper spec, solving misunderstandings, and verification suddenly outweighs everything else..

So no, good talent is even not replacable by any n of cheaper ones, waiting to hear only one success story (and not just fail in every regard) for that.
And yet there are federal disclosure laws that you must disclose like lead otherwise you are liable. So again you just proved yourself wrong.

The story I was thinking of was where a director sent him the criticism, and he shared the criticism within the company. From this summary of a TED talk Dalio gave in 2017: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/employee-sent-hedge-fund-gian...

I'm not familiar with other companies that have the same reputation of using a system like this the same way Bridgewater does.
I like that thinking. It also became clear to me when moving. You can actually sell good furniture that you don't want anymore, and get quite some money back. And if you are considerate in which furniture you buy, you can assume you'll also get money for it, should you not need it anymore.
Thus for example, a purchase of a $2000 designer table might not be that huge, if you use it 5 years and get $1500 for it afterwards, you only paid $100 per year to have the table you wanted.
It depends on context, platform, and needs. I'm virtually always reading, and occasionally processing / mining text. I'm not working with forms or editing PDFs.

For Linux, xpdf in all its Athena Xt marvelousness is still a good basic reader with a small footprint and good keybindings.

Where it's not sufficient, I'm turning to Zathura (from Suckless) by preference, otherwise Okular (KDE).

On OSX, Preview seems tolerably good.

I frequently read (or process) PDFs in the terminal. Popplar libraries / tools are excellent for this, including pdfinfo and pdftotext. The latter's been extended to provide a PDF viewer as a Bash function:

pdfless ()
{
pdftotext -layout "$1" - |
sed 's/\f/\n\n ----------------- ----------------- <page> ----------------- ----------------- \n\n\n/g' |
${PAGER:-less} -S
}

That swaps a pagebreak marker for the '^L' characters otherwise displayed.

On tablets, I've found the Onyx BOOX Neorader (a multi-format e-book reader_ quite good, though I've also used FBReader, PocketBook, and KOreader (the latter is praised by heavy users, I've found it confusing and unintuitive in occasional encounters).

I've used the FoxIt PDF reader, though not in years, probably a decade.

Haven't touched Adobe in something close to 20 years, possibly longer.
"I suspect that legacy industry and regulators have smothered two generations of technological improvement, largely (I suspect) by building a (mostly) closed and permissioned financial system."

It's technically possible to replace any blockchain with a database but where are you going to host it and who is the trusted central authority?

Blockchain might not the solution but it shows us an alternative to trusting some middlemen that have too much power, instead we trust code that is emotionless, non-judgemental and consistent.

A distributed ledger is more than just a database, it's a technology that can orchestrated trust online without a central authority. That's a huge deal, compared to a sql database that is owned by someone, who is the singularity that administrates the whole thing.
While I second most of your points, for me proper navigation and management for the directory tree is way more important than global full-text search, which I can take or leave.

It's not about "being stuck in the 90s" (paraphrasing), some minds just prefer hierarchies. Search-based is likewise a subjective preference and not objectively more user-friendly, regardless of how fashionable it is.

With skills like these he could have landed a job _anywhere_. Even if he didn't have any hardware skills as the article says, he still is a top-notch salesman. Maybe he had a chance to land jobs at Nintendo hardware division for his entire team.

There's nothing sad in this story. The rules are simple (most of the time) and you either play by them or find out, and while most of us play by them, sometimes someone finds out.

I like this. It's quaint in how they mix and match different dystopias without basis in reality except for what their cryptobros came up with (they can't even tell if 561 is prime or not)

"Smart contracts" okay, the cryptobros can't even make smart contracts for bored monkey pictures without shooting themselves in the foot 10 times, why do you think a government will suddenly need one of those to do anything?

Why do you think the government needs an immutable ledger powered by inneficient computations to keep track of transactions when current DBs work just fine? The cryptobros can't even make lightning scale to the size of a small ecommerce site and want us to believe that somehow that's the future?

But to be fair crypto has its uses: speculation and separating fools from their money
My first idea was merge conflicts, but this works better.

I was thinking the exact same thing. It's easy to say it's because of the market sentiments, but you could also use that as an excuse.

Covid lockdowns forced businesses to rethink their operational models. For some remote work etc. turned out to be profitable opportunities - you could do the same with less infrastructure.

On another note, their CEO said "There are exciting days ahead for OneTrust as we transform into the Trust Intelligence Platform company." That sounds pretty wtf. Like someone just put some fancy words in line.

This is also dangerously close to going backwards about it. Figuring out how much you need to do something purely to "get your money's worth" out of it is the sunk cost fallacy!

It's better to start from how many times you want to go to the gym, multiply it with your desired cost per visit, and then see if this total exceeds the cost of the membership.

I know that's what you were suggesting, but the way you presented it seems to me, well, backwards!
I used to like it when my grandfather was alive; he had this large barn with all the tools and he made everything by hand, teaching me from a young age. Unfortunately all his tools etc disappeared into some kind of family feud and it is too big a hurdle to start again. I enjoy electronics and robotics and cooking and walking as hobbies; not much time for other things. But I miss the smell of wood and work. Who knows, maybe later; not dead yet.

Not sure I share the pessimism. It seems to me that we're adjusting to situations pretty rapidly as a species. We're definitely at least attempting to find out what inputs lead to which short- and long-term outputs, which is a unique behavior among mammals.
Or software (and hardware) lifecycle. When to patch, what has support, is it a compliant configuration, etc
Yes, there are lots of benefits to having apps be streamed on demand with an open world approach. I'm not trying to argue that mobile distribution is universally better, just observing that people have a choice there and they avoid the web platform. Effectively trading a different distribution model, maybe a worse one, for other benefits.

"Web apps are infinitely expandable, instant rollbacks and roll outs and no need for an update & app store review cycle which can add weeks of delays between code complete and landing on a user's doorstep"

This is an advantage for developers and may or may not be an advantage for users, depending on whether the upgrade is truly an upgrade or not. Web SaaS firms simply pretend their software always gets better and any disagreement is mere "change aversion" but their incentives aren't always aligned with the end users, many of whom may simply not need new versions. The web can't handle this scenario because browsers have no understanding of version numbers to begin with.
I have no trust in the longevity of data on SD cards. What's the expected lifetime of the data on these, and has it been studied/verified?
I suppose the danger is believing that we are substantively different to people who came before us, or that our current moral beliefs are correct. Our moral judgements may seem correct now but there's a good chance future generations will look back on us unfavourably too.
> Bookcase that fell off a wall shattering a glass desk and filling an entire room with books and papers laced with splinters? Yup. That was me.

This one sounds as the worst "failure", but in general, hanging a book case off the wall is hard even for experienced professionals: books are notoriously heavy, and walls are of vastly different constructions, so sometimes, hanging it up is simply... impossible (eg. with a drywall if you can't find the drywall frame behind, or if that is too weak).

When I did remodelling of my place, I've planned for steel support behind wherever I wanted to hang heavy items (like a double vanity sink unit [people also lean on them], book cases, TV with a wooden panel behind it and similar). And you need to use special screws for different wall types and load (concrete anchors, wall/rawl plugs, toggle bolts, drywall anchor plugs... — though my English names might be off for these :).

So in short, don't hold this one much against yourself: it's sometimes hard even for seasoned pros, let alone hobbyists. I am just a seasoned hobbyist that's a sucker for hanging items (or actually, having clear floor to clean).

Anyway, the thing that attracts me to woodworking (and previously, chipboard cabinet construction) is that you get to make your own ideas: just like with software. But building stuff is not limited to software development or woodworking, and while there are plenty of software engineers enjoying woodworking, there are other ways to enjoy building your own stuff, and some might even enjoy not building anything after they've been doing it for 8+ hours a day.

$1B is pretty pricey for being labeled a champion of free speech for a second. He could've gone on Fox and said something controversial and gotten just as much mileage. I'm tempted to believe he actually thought he could turn Twitter around, and then realized it was a fool's errand.
With programming you have source control and some form of an undo command. You also have a compiler and (if you can be bothered writing them) tests.

If you need another tool or another component you can just search for it on the internet and if it's available you can have it in seconds. No trips to a shop that may or may not have what you need, or queueing, or explaining what you need to a shop assistant who couldn't really give a shit, or being upsold on some other thing that you don't really need or understand, etc.

Also, crucially for me personally, there's no mess that needs to be tidied away before the rest of the family come find you. There's no storage area needed for half-finished crap, odds and ends you can't decide if you need in future, potentially dangerous power tools, that kind of thing.

Building software is like taking all the fun parts of DIY and leaving all the boring / dangerous / physically taxing parts behind, and you can pretty much do it wherever you have a power supply and internet connection. That's why I first loved it and why I continue to do it today.
I agree with the other commenters that overprovisioning (or underprovisioning) is a concern with the cloud, but the public cloud has long been more secure than on-prem data centers [1], [2], [3].

As for the cost, Reserved Instances can dramatically reduce your spend, with the caveat that you can get locked in 1 or 3 years. My company, Usage.AI, built a platform to solve this problem by automatically buying and selling Reserved Instances to get the price and flexibility benefits in one [4].

Right up to the stall speed limit. You can't just keep pitching up, you'd have to apply some power too if you don't eventually want to run out of forward (air)speed.

In a glider you can't do that so there when in level flight you have a limited amount of forward momentum available to help you climb if the air itself isn't moving up, you are continuously trading altitude for speed and vv (easy to see in a dive: everybody expects you to gain speed in a dive because can all relate so something falling, it's obvious the reverse has to happen when you climb and the stall speed is a design parameter of the aircraft at a given altitude combined with a bunch of other factors).

One aspect of "toxic productivity" I was thinking of that wasn't addressed in the article is not how it affects you, but how it may affect your work. I have often worked with people who could get a lot done quickly, but what came out of it was so half-baked that it was of little or no value or required several cycles of feedback until it could be used. So it's not only the quantity of stuff you do, you have to also keep an eye on the quality...

Honestly don't know what on earth this is trying to achieve. Running a software company is hard. Management is going to make choices and there are hard decisions. Not everyone you work with is going to be nice.

I’m not sure I follow your argument about ESPP.

It’s almost always the case that maxing out your ESPP contribution is a good idea instead of getting the money earlier and investing it in something else. It might even be worth getting a loan and still maxing out the contribution should you require more cashflow (because 10% loan is still cheaper than missing out on ~90% return). But the t return is limited to your max contribution percentage * your salary, therefore you still need to think about what to do with rest of your money.

How making more money in absolute terms in some other investment invalidate the above?
Vietnam Has the Largest Army
..wait for it...reserve :) Roughly 11x its active army personnel are on standby and can be called in to serve in times of war.

Hilariously sad to see this, where crypto has gone from an idea of economic freedom to economic handcuffs. Imagine the even more nightmarish world where a person on welfare has their entire economic life controlled by a completely faceless, heartless algorithm.
Imagine if there were 200 companies producing airliners instead of a handful? How would the airports know which were safe enough to land?

Imagine if there were 200 operating systems for phones, instead of 2? How would corporations know which were safe enough to install 2-factor auth on?

Imagine if there were 200 suppliers of x86 cpu's, all with small differences in features? How would we build safe software for those?

Consolidation to a few vendors (but more than 1) is a huge benefit for both costs and safety.

And there is absolutely no reason these companies need to be "Western", unless you include Korea, Japan, Taiwan and India in the "Western World".

China would probably have one such company, but would perhaps only be trusted by their allies, just like US companies would probably not be allowed such infra in China or Russia.

Proof-of-stake is possible, but requires an honest majority of stakers continuously online.

If you want to eliminate Sybil attacks in PoS, there is no way of externally validating which branch of a split chain is legitimate. Each of them has a majority of stake backing it.

It's probably worth pointing out that many people who followed Trump on Twitter weren't fans of his, but people who wanted to keep up with what he was saying (perhaps as critics, journalists, etc) and already had a Twitter account for other purposes. The folks who folowed him to his own Twitter clone were (by and large) actual fans who suppported him.

If you dislike Trump but want to monitor his actions, following him on Twitter might make sense. Joining a platform dominated by Trump supporters probably wouldn't.
