Cool! But that doesn't at all touch on my point. I'm not arguing you can't use vim keybinds, I'm saying the mouse is good at what it does.

You might struggle to use a mouse (lots of folks do) but for those of us that grew up using it as a much more accurate pointing tool... I'd wager none of the things you've listed present much of a challenge or thought.

Like this:

>it's still usually easier, faster, less error-prone, and more reproducible to grab the entire screenful of text without specifically selecting what I want (e.g., C-A or Cmd-A (Mac)), and then trim to size within vim.

That's funny - I found it incredibly quick and easy to simply select that portion of your comment with my mouse. I didn't have to trim, or take extra, or think about it. I just selected the content I wanted with the mouse in about a quarter of a second.
Good idea, let me tweak that...

Not all optimizations are more energy consuming. For an analogy, does a using a car consume more energy than a bicycle? Yes. But a using a bicycle does not consume more energy than a man running on feet.
The Lindy effect is a predictive tool. Whether something is good or not is much more complicated.

For one thing, switching GUI tools has almost no cost, if that tool doesn't have a significant amount of non-ephemeral user content.

It may be different for people with a strong muscle memory, but I can switch calculators or dictionary apps at any time. Basic GUI apps aren't skills you learn, they're things you get vaguely familiar with, the discoverable UIs guide you even if you don't know what you're doing. The learning time is minutes to days at most.

If I have to learn a new app in 3 years, that's fine. It won't take me much more effort than it probably would to maintain the config for enough Vim plugins to get it to act somewhat like I want it to.

I could probably even switch away from something as big as LibreOffice without trouble, if they used the same file formats and actually gave a reason I might want to switch.

Plus, Android itself is still new, and for most things, Mobile is what really matters to me. Note taking is worthless if I can't access or write down the notes when I think of them or want to check them.

Perhaps if I was doing more advanced programming, more of my notes would be taken at a keyboard?

These simple old tools seem really use case specific. Like, speed of text editing is less critical if most of what you do is interact with modern frameworks, where things might change too fast and the projects might be too big to memorize, and you're relying much more on IDE features to help you, and spending 2x as much time researching as actually coding.
Wow, I had no idea about this one! Thanks so much for this tip!
this happens a lot in consulting. Someone in leadership leaves for another firm and is tasked to start building. Then they call up all their old aces and bring them over fleshing out Sr positions and then the new guys fill in with their aces and so on. It's a small world in some ways.
Ah, I see. I missed that...
Edit: it looks like I was wrong about some things. The team at Triplebyte has also answered my questions. In the interest of fairness, if you read this post, I encourage you to read their responses as well.

At this point, if you (Triplebyte) haven’t set private the profiles of everyone who didn’t explicitly consent, then you are irredeemable. You’ve had, what, two years to work this out?

I would love to understand what the goals and numbers here are, and what the revenue implications of public profiles are? It seems to me that you’re trying to build a social network of some sort with verified-skill capability.

I went to your site, and your about me page, to see what your business model was. What you stated, the mission and the copy, does not align with a public profile and social network style feature.

If you truly are trying to make hiring better, how does public profiles achieve that?

If you truly are trying to make hiring better, people on all sides of process should be benefiting. And there should be nothing to be afraid of in terms of mission.

Your /manifesto document falls short. What, exactly, is your business model? You should have no shame in it. Unless you think it’s shameful, in which case, please stop.

Like your manifesto claims, transparency is good!
Specific to AWU, I'd imagine - as it's not a "real union"

Hey Conlectus, let me address your technical comments (note: I work at Wasmer)

> 1. Lack of support for `externref`, AKA opaque references to host data.

We do support `externrefs`, but had to partially disable it due to big impacts on performance due to how we did the initial implementation. We are refactoring this in Wasmer 3.0 and this shall be completely addressed in the Wasmer 3.0 release.

> 2. An awkward context API for host calls.

This is probably the point I agree most with. This is already being worked on. Please take a look on this PR if you are interested on knowing how things will look like for Wasmer 3.0 [1]

> 3. It took me about 2 weeks of development to run into a use-after-free bug bubbling up into Rust.

Sorry to hear that! We are working hard make sure there are no such leaks/bugs in Wasmer

> 4. The performance, at least for my use case, was not meaningfully better than Wasmtime

In general, being able to have to have a pluggable compiler infrastructure I think makes the runtime infrastructure way more resilient and with almost zero effort we should be able to support more chipsets (such as RISC-V). In the case of Wasmtime they are using the partially-optimized compiler Cranelift, but they only support for x86_64 and aarch64. They are doing super interesting things such as the ISLE initiative but IMHO they are far from having the robustness that projects like LLVM already have. Which is why Wasmer chose a pluggable compiler infrastructure rather than tying itself to only one.

> 5. Lack of support for instance resource allocation pools.

Yup, this is on our plans!

> 6. Lack of support for the module linking proposal

This have been very intentional. IMHO module linking is an over-engineered solution that can be solved more easily with a static spec definition outside of Wasm. I personally think it's unlikely that it will reach broad adoption.
But I can assure you that Wasmer will implement this once browsers do (if they ever do, of course)

But who compares Python with C#, they are not even in the same league? Python is a glorified bash scripting replacement with a mediocre JIT engine. Modern C# is faster than Go which is what it is competing against.
They're creating a platform, and that's a risky thing to build on if you can't trust the company.

Sure it's open source, but unless you're at a scale where you actually can take it over and maintain it, that's not some magical escape hatch.

This isn't a theoretical thing for me. I've got a project in mind that wasmer would be a candidate for, and I ruled it out for this reason.

> What about quality of life and career prospects in Germany? Anyone living there have any insights?

I am not a parent. So I can't say much about that. But economically you will be better off in CA than in Germany anywhere. Yes those kind of jobs exist in Germany but they are very rare. Also lot of money goes out of the pocket towards taxes, health and social security. German housing, especially in big cities like Berlin, Munich etc isn't any cheap either. I suppose since you both are working, you will jointly make enough to afford housing. Finding apartment to rent is hard and expensive.

On the other hand, yes you get good WLB in Germany with vacations ~25-30 days/year range. But I see more and more companies in US are stressing on WLB with unlimited PTO. So you have the possibility of not sacrificing your income at the expense of better benefits/WLB in US. You do have better public transportation in most of the bigger German cities.

If you decide to buy a house you will most probably live outside of any big German city. So the benefit of having good public transportation is also minimized since you will have to own a car. There are buses which connect German suburbs to the city but not often. Still further you move away from the city to suburbs, lesser the frequency of such public transportation.

Based on where you decide to live the appointments with specialist doctors can take quite a long time - like 3-4 months isn't uncommon in bigger cities. It might be faster if you are living in smaller towns.

Finally it's hard to integrate in German society whether it's the difficulty of language or how close knit Germans are. I think this holds for even Netherlands and even large part of Europe. I have never lived in USA but from what I have heard it's bit easier to fit in America than Europe.
Good spotting. I actually based that animation on the grid of sample curves at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_curve , which includes A=B=0 in the illustration but makes the point it's not a valid curve.

I didn't think anyone would notice/care, but I'll tweak it to skip over that example.
It's a disturbing question - one that's hardly going to get fair and objective consideration in out society.

Neither the right wing nor the left have the ability to be objective enough to look into this without coming to whatever conclusions they intend to reach.

It's a pity, because the implications are of an extinction level crisis impacting not only humanity, but all high order life on earth.

Keep in mind that a heavy burden on opening new restaurants also serves all existing restaurants. That is, if you've an extant operation, barriers to entry are in your own interest.

This makes the constituency for strong regulation not only all diners, but all existing restaurants, with the constituency against strong regulation being whomever happens to be currently trying to open a new restaurant in the area.

Balance of power goes to obstruction.

There's not a lot of difference if you use the query syntax in C# (assuming you add an overload to Enumerable.Range() to take the skip) - only no-one uses that because it's ugly. Also really nice that the types are checked + shown by tooling, as is the syntax.

I use Python a lot for scripting - what it lacks in speed of development/runtime it gains in being more accessible to amateurs and having less "enterprise" style libraries (particularly with cryptographic libraries, MS abstract way too much whilst Python just has think wrappers around C). That makes Python a strong scripting language for me. PyCharm is really nice too.

For real work? C# is better as long as you have either VS or Rider. Really dislike the VS Code experience (these JS-based editors are slow and nowhere near as nice a Rider) so then I can understand why people would avoid it.
> but I just find it a bit sad that everything has to be SO clean-cut these days.

It's not "clean-cut" though. Jump cuts in pieces to camera look absolutely shite.

If you want to cut a bit out for pacing or to remove an "uhm uh <cough> so uh" then you cut away to something else. Maybe a close-up of what you're talking about, or to another camera angle.

Just chopping a bit out so you hop about the screen looks amateurish as all hell.
For Toptal, I progressed through the initial interview, the two timed algorithm challenges, and faced the human-observed algorithm challenge. I passed the first of two tests with him, and on the second test I realized at 17 minutes out of 20 minutes that my approach was totally not going to work for the complete problem set. So at that point, no matter what I did, I was out.

I didn't even get the "privilege" of doing the 40 hour take home project (which culminated in a formal business presentation that some people reportely failed despite turning in a polished project".

Later I found complaints of Toptal members that they were pressured to provide low wage offers to get gigs.

Overall it felt like perhaps an ernest initial effort to make a better system and a quality consulting firm, but it got perverted into a heartless profit machine. I'm glad I didn't progress to the 40 hour take-home stage.

I didn't, I don't think using a db really makes sense for this problem. The program was simulating a physical process to get two streams of timestamps from simulated single-photon detectors, and then running a somewhat-expensive analysis on the data (primarily a cross correlation).

There's nothing here for a DB to really help with, the data access patterns are both trivial and optimal. IIRC it was also more like a billion rows so I'd have some scaling questions (a big enough instance could certainly handle it, but the hardware actually being used was a cheap laptop).

Even if there was though - I would have been very hesitant to do so. The not-a-fulltime-programmer PhD student whose project this was really needed to be able to understand and modify the code. I was pretty hesitant to even introduce a second programming language.

The US and any time before the 2000s. Sorry I can't be of more help than that. It was only a brief but very memorable mention in a lecture many years ago. I did just try searching for it online but there is a ton of cult related content online. More than I ever imagined. Also it's not like the researchers were exposed and murdered dramatically, rather that some just ended up joining and staying with the cults.
"Surprise" or balance billing was one way.

Basically you go to a hospital that is "in network", get some work done, but it turns out that some doctor (often some side-channel like a radiologist) who reviewed your case was out of network. So your insurance doesn't cover him and the hospital sends you the full bill. Out of pocket max doesn't matter, because that only limits costs where insurance actually accepts the claim.

It was outlawed by US congress this year (The "no surprises" bill), but there are some exceptions like ground ambulances, so I guess we citizens are supposed to remember not to take those to the hospital unless we are rich.

Yes, its insane.
Jesus Christ dude, they're led by a man who routinely sexually assaults people. Being permissive about that is pretty damning. Kooky beliefs are one thing, but cults combine those with oppressive social structures. It's not that hard unless you're stuck in the middle of one with all it's filtering.

That's not fully Github's choice to make. They made a judgement call based on seemingly incomplete evidence, and have different incentives that everyone else.

Repository owners may well have a different level of acceptable risk or legal obligations over the integrity of their source code. For example, if I was maintaining security software or a popular package, it would be entirely appropriate to stop everything and look for abuse. Waiting three months makes that harder.

I'm not sure that's trust building.
It's also good for religious followers! This is really the lack of understanding I'm getting at. Many religious people genuinely believe that following their religion is more important than profit or customers and inherently good for society.

I'm not saying you have to agree with our beliefs, of course, but it's not right to think of religion affecting the secular world as some kind of weird practice that has to be explained by corrupt leaders. Most religions and basically all Christian churches teach that you should consider religious factors in your business and personal lives.

To me a big part of the appeal to Triplebyte is that their variant is one that does reflect real world programming. Their general coding quiz shows you written code and asks you to find the bug or fill in the blank - things very similar to day to day activities when working on an existing application. AFAIK there isn't anything about tricky algorithms, either.
