It's probably good to highlight the words "significant" and "major contribution" here.

As someone that's working full time on their own thing - I agree it is extremely difficult to do something major part time (let alone full time!!) When it comes to coding.

So I'd flip the script here and ask: does it need to be significant?

If the aim is to do something enjoyable, then maybe cut yourself some slack. Find joy in learning, or joy in helping a cause. Don't worry if you feel it's small. Do it for you. Also, say no to things that overextend you or divert you from your mission of enjoying your hobby.
But p-hacking has existed for a very long time. It has just jumped industries.
been saying it for awhile... Next.js is an ad for their services.

Take a look at their middleware. It's designed to be used solely with their serverless cloud BS. It uses a janky JS sandbox which means you can't use node APIs. It's just horrible for no good reason at all. I've never seen middleware so intentionally crippled anywhere before.

And the whole reason you need middleware is to maneuver around the flaws that the prior person mentioned with getServerSideProps.

Next.js probably seems great if you're writing greenfield code in a dead simple web app. Routing/URL handling on Next.js is just broken. This is all glaringly obvious if you've been around the SPA/SSR world for more than a day.
At least in Gitlab's case, I think this is spot on.

My biggest complaint about it is that it's slow, and as of the last time I used it so many of its functionality didn't auto-update until you hit refresh.

I don't know enough about web development to understand whether this was a Ruby on Rails problem or a Gitlab problem.
Yeah but they cannot take Thunderbird mobile back. Its now Mozilla property, which is the actual scary part.
In particular, can we skip to the part that involves no js :)
I agree with this, reinforced by my reading of this article.

There are victims because several individuals chose to coerce or chose to do additional things without someone's consent.

This article and others have seemingly resigned away from investigating uploaders because of the assumption that theyre using a VPN, yet a criminal case is all that is necessary to get logs more often, or this entire article should be about the VPNs “profiting from exploitation” if thats the standard being used for Pornhub.

Skipping straight to Pornhub critique really seems to neglect a lot.

My point is one size doesn't fit all.

Some places on this planet can get very cold or very hot. If you're running a [ground source] heat pump as your primary heat/cooling source, even with high COP, on extreme days the system can draw massive amounts of power.

You know, those days when losing power could truly hurt. Like destroy water pipes (including underfloor heating pipes) type hurt. Or make the house unlivable hot.

No bragging (I have no idea how someone could read it like that!) or anything. Just facts. There's more variability than you might think.
"In the six months between Mamba’s launch and our next large-scale improvement, Deploy Frequency increased by 40% from 2.5 deployments per engineer per month to 3.5. We also saw a 130% increase in the number of services running in production."

It would be great if they could expand on how this positively impacted business metrics.
Ruby has been steadily going down as favorite language for years. I have absolutely no beef with Ruby, but GP is pretty clearly pointing out the disjunct between continuing to use a language with a dwindling userbase, and requiring that userbase to have professional experience. In its home country, GitLab is one of the few to use Ruby to begin with.

>I suggest you spend some time gaining actual Ruby experience

Which requires those people to get jobs. If they can't get jobs in the language, they can't get experience in the language. This is already an issue with the more popular languages which are converging to the same point.
A Tale of Two Ports: Automation at Oakland vs. Rotterdam (2015)
> Stripe and Moneygram have a business model that can exist outside of crypto...I won't go so far as to call them a scam company themselves.

Contradicts:

> All crypto is a scam.

As you are trying to legitimise both of them of having a 'use-case' for their crypto offerings, holdings, etc which regardless of their business models and what they do as companies, it is still all a scam.

If we agree that both Stripe and Moneygram are fully involved in the scam by having heavy involvement in crypto offerings, holdings, etc, Then yes. They are a scam as well as everything they are offering is as well. No exceptions.

> Do you lose muscle control? I imagine you'd still be walking around the grocery store, just without a sense of agency of which steps you take, right?

No I maintain full muscle control, physical feeling, etc. It's much harder to explain because of this. It's more or less sudden onset ego death, which is why it's so frightening when it happens. You can only get so used to it, and even now as an adult my heart still races although I don't panic.

One physical way to think about it is that my movements feel like they precede my thoughts about that movement, but I'm still thinking and bringing those movements into existence. Time gets jumbled during these episodes much like what happens the moment before you're knocked unconscious, but the unconscious part never comes.

The only time I've been able to replicate even a small part of these episodes was when I was very very high. I was probably 16 or 17 at the time and I hadn't had an episode in a long while. I smoked a ton of weed with one of my friends and parts of that high felt like these episodes, though much more subtle. So I would say if you've ever been so high that you have a hard time keeping track of time, and you often get stuck in these mini loops of saying or doing the same thing, it's kinda sorta like that, but not really.
The Mt. Everest discussion looks like the kind of conversation you might get with a well-informed ten-year-old if you were to ask them: "Hey, pretend you're Mt. Everest and go talk with @andreyk over there."

The question of sentience presumably requires on a widely-accepted technical definition of sentience, something that may not be possible to generate due to both technical and social difficulties.
San Francisco Became a Failed City
No, you're missing the point entirely.

Portable music players were huge before Apple got into the category. (And note that Apple copied the Creative Zen player form; Apple's "innovation" was the annoying scroll wheel it has long since abandoned.)

Smartphones were big before Apple got into the category. (Apple's innovation was marketing. Literally every other feature was copied from existing Blackberry, Palm, and Windows Mobile dvices.)

Fitness watches were popular before Apple got into the category. Apple's innovation was making them cool again, in the same way that Timex made calculator watches and G-Force watches cool for a few years in the 1990s.

Low-power ARM chips were heavily used and gaining traction before Apple got into the category. Microsoft has supported ARM for almost half a decade now.

The only category that Apple actually made popular was the standalone tablet, which didn't meaningful exist because it was considered useless for creation/productivity and only good for consumption. (But on that note apparently Apple users excel at mindless consumption and don't care much for creation.)

It's only within the Apple echo chamber that these categories didn't exist, or weren't popular, before Apple entered the category.

This is nonsense. Hundreds of Bitcoin exchanges have collapsed over the last 10 years.

That bugs me too.

Almost every document out there talks about storing coins in your wallet. It’s actually a private key in there.

Maybe with the right language, more people might be tempted to hold their own keys and eschew centralised exchanges.
I don’t think that’s an interesting question at all and misses the point completely.

We have no idea, what causes the sensation of subjective experience. Assuming that sentience is no more complex than our current level of understanding is arrogant.

Furthermore, it’s just plain useless; without a fundamental theory of sentience with both predictive and explanatory power, our understanding can’t grow.
there’s a lot of time spent reviewing material and then explaining it to the lawyers. the bigger the case the more lawyers there are to explain it to.

then you review everything from the other side. and your fellow experts. and write a bunch of stuff. explain that to the lawyers.

So that more apps can snoop on your email? Why would you want to use more than one email-app for the same accounts? (I get that you might want to use the gmail app for a gmail account, but then using the same account in K9 doesn't make much sense to me)
So USD’s value comes from authority, force and violence. We accept the USD because of the USA’s army, bombs, etc.

We accept the fed and central banks and money printing. We accept the rigged point system.

And how long is this sustainable before people have had enough? We now have an alternative. There is no bitcoin print button to bail out Washington at the expense of the regular people.
Nothing about that first generation of Power Mac reminds me of "fun". It reminds me more of "kernel panics right before CD-R is finalized" or "kernel panics whenever the network cable is unplugged" or sometimes "kernel panics whenever any network cable anywhere on campus is unplugged" and quite frequently "kernel panics if I try to scan a slide" oh and from time to time "installing MS Office from 60 floppies is a bit of a chore". Really cannot think of anything in my personal history of computing that was less fun than a mid-90s Mac.

I agree. If these could be made installable without root, and independent of the current version of glibc, then there is huge potential to replace the older tools. I’d love to use things like fd, but they don’t work on older servers without root and a newer version of glibc
This is very likely not what people do when they talk, I don’t know your background so maybe you know this but I was astounded during a class on sensation and perception how different the underlying mechanisms to a sense like seeing were different from “watching a video play in your mind”

Ah ofcourse child pays for parent essentially always works. If I recall correctly replace-by-fee requires wallet support perhaps even at the time of creating the original transaction. But child pays for parent is just universal because it doesn't need to replace the transaction in the mempool, it just pays the miners to move it out of the mempool.
I never said anything about quantitativeness, but science is the art of predicting the results of experiments/observations..

I agree with the second bit you are saying - we cannot convey these experiences so it is outside the realm of science.
Failed central banks? Can you elaborate?
You raise some good points, but I wanted to touch upon this one:

> Paris is implementing this and if you live in the suburbs, going out to Paris is a logistic nightmare.

The needs of a neighborhood's residents are distinct from and sometimes opposed to the needs of non-resident stakeholders such as suburban commuters, absentee landlords, and tourists. Ultimately I think every neighborhood needs to strike some balance between these stakeholders.

But the extent that most American cities prioritize the needs of commuters and visitors over their own residents has always seemed odd to me. For example, many cities spend huge sums of money destroying local neighborhoods to widen freeways so commuters can move further from the city. This results in a destroyed local tax base and increases in suburban property values.

All else being equal I would have expected most cities to operate like Paris and prioritize the needs of local residents above the needs of visitors.
You will burn in sparrow-hell!

I think, your vision of capitalism is too far from reality.

For example, bureaucracy is not part of capitalism, it is only possible solution for large share of humanity problems.

- Big planes, like 747, only possible with bureaucracy, because their complexity is too high for any other form of organization - to build one 747 need about 600 human-years.
- Imagine mutualism way of build such machines - they will be rare, like Great Pyramids, and customers will wait at least few decades for each plane.

Capitalism just pay for bureaucracy, because this is effective form of organization.
And private ownership with one exclusive owner, is most effective form of ownership, all others magnitudes worse.

So you could talk about small projects without capitalism, not about large projects.

If it will be easier for you, imagine world in which every civilization achievement tied to only one country, and impossible to move production to other country, and all other countries are constantly bargain for scarce supply.

Imagine for example, all commodity automobiles produced only in Germany, by Daimler and BMW.
They are good automobiles, but without bureaucracy nobody could copy them in big enough quantities, even Volkswagen is impossible without bureaucracy.

It is impossible to build PC without bureaucracy, only small, garage size firms.

To imagine, what is garage market like, read:

Frightening. The longest I had one was about a day. Most come and go very quickly now since I've learned to manage them. I feel like the longer I panic and think about the longer they last.
I've seen several times where the overhead of the network request is dramatically higher than the work being preformed.

The worst example was a validation microservice that did things like "is True" or "is greater than 5" one element at a time on a large object. So you'd have an object with 50 elements and it would make 50 requests to the service. This was in the context of a batch processing job that handled millions of items, so billions of requests end up being created.

I tried to explain that each network request probably does a few thousand things like "if request_type == 'get'" during it's lifecycle on both sides of the transaction, but nobody got it and I quit soon after.
Certainly, Python is slow. But I would say it's incorrect to compare Umka to C in terms of performance. Interpreted languages are always slower than compiled ones. The only way to close the gap is to use a JIT compiler, like LuaJIT for Lua. But such a compiler can never be portable.
The underlying storage is less structured, which means that some common database optimizations (in particular row-level indexes) are unavailable in these kind of systems, but it's conceptually the same as a standard relational table.
Where do you rate the latest Square Enix art style as shown in Octopath Traveler? I think ut uses quite a few of these and it looks great to me at least.
It's not clickbait. You may be able to skip lunch altogether but you can't eat it at your desk:

> Until now, any company allowing employees to eat lunch at their desks was subject to a fine if discovered by the inspectors who enforce the labor code. The employee in question faced unspecified disciplinary action.[0]

The "until now" refers to the suspension of the law in 2021 to promote social distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. That suspension has since expired, so eating at one's desk is once again prohibited.

The actual law is Article R4228-19: "Il est interdit de laisser les travailleurs prendre leur repas dans les locaux affectés au travail."[1] Google translates this as "It is forbidden to allow workers to take their meals in the premises assigned to the work."

Where would a city dweller put a huge battery pack anyway? Maybe ask your landlord to put one in the basement for the whole building? Obviously he won't; it doesn't provide any benefit to him.
It was at the heyday of the "personal" computer on both sides of the divide; a single upgrade could make your machine magically more capable in ways we don't really have now.

Adding a new processor could be a huge speed improvement, adding a new graphics card would greatly expand your screen capabilities, etc.

This site alone has a system with a 601 at 60MHz replaced with a G4 at 300 MHz, and RAM from 8MB to 264MB. That's like going from 8GB to 256GB today, just insane difference to how you use the system (and RAM was much faster than the disk back then, so RAM disks made sense, etc).

I remember our last DOS computer had enough RAM that it made sense to RAMdisk most of the most commonly used programs we had, even though it slowed boot up copying them into the RAM disk.

The strongest suspicion here is that a piece of paper with "I am watching you" written on it is not actually watching you. If somebody knows it is "a piece of paper", that statement suffices.
Though they aren't tax deductible. So I wonder how much they actually get.

Having decided to just look while writing this comment, apparently it was a couple million last year? Which doesn't seem bad.
In the mystical/buddhist/meditation scene, sentience is an artifact of a cultivated awareness (be it cultivated naturally, intentionally or whatever).

So that's one bunch who claims to have some kind of a handle on it.

But the guys who study that stuff have a pretty esoteric and extreme practice. The equivalent of building your own large hadron collider in the garage. Which is uncommon.

> Every tiny rails app that uses rspec ends up with +1hr test times due to tight coupling between activemodel and the db connections.

Wat? I mean test times aren't great but I've got several thousand specs for what I would call a medium-sized application that run in <1m using TurboTests or <3m using rspec alone. I can't imagine a "tiny" rails app that takes an hour to test. Maybe you're doing a lot of browser rendering or something? My app is API only.
It's been over half a century since ELIZA ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA ) demonstrated how easy it is to convince people that a simplistic computer program is sentient. That should be no surprise - humans have a bunch of mostly-subconscious heuristics to make "is X conscious or sentient?" determinations in everyday life. "Intelligent" computers are as bad a fit for those heuristics as a bunch of M. C. Escher woodcuts are for our sense of the 3-dimensional world.

But - with the Escher woodcuts, we have plenty of simple, concrete theory, language, etc. (from geometry & optics) to describe what's going wrong with our normal heuristics. Vs. for "intelligent" computers...that I've seen, the theory & language to describe how & why they really aren't intelligent (but seem to be) do not yet exist.
In another comment, it said Gitlab moved off ActiveRecord.

The fundamental problem with rspec + ActiveRecord is for each test: you create db state (tons of inserts), run the test (more db reads and writes), and then tear down the state. This is very expensive when you have 100,000s of tests each taking 500ms.

Rails/rspec does not make it easy to stub db state with ActiveRecord.
Not really.

I recommend NOT attempting malicious demolition of the careers of others; it’s not only unethical but it also can land one in a massive heap of legal trouble.

Attorneys love actions like those active career sabotage “revenge” tactics you’re describing, and sooner or later, someone employing them will learn the hard way.

If they’re lucky and get smarter, they’ll end up just having to write a public letter of apology they share with the world (including those they defamed the former employee to). It will have a negative impact on their own career and probably sink their chances of ever raising money again.

If they’re less lucky or unwilling to address an attorney’s letter, they’ll end up having to pay a fat seven figure settlement, attorney’s fees, and a letter of apology. VCs will be most unimpressed.

And in some cases, if they’re willing enough to go to court, they’ll be facing having their communications subpoenaed, their professional network subpoenaed and deposed about the comments, and will end up with a seven or eight figure judgment including punitive damages. VCs won’t even reply to their communications, and anyone deposed will associate the angry would-be saboteur with legal trouble.

It's also trading (very slightly) higher than $1 on other exchanges, such as Bitfinex. Such is the nature of order books.
