> you dont get rich at a startup by working for one, only by being a founder or an investor

I’ve written small (<$50k) Series A cheques into companies where employee no. 20 made more than I did. That’s fine. They invested a hell of a lot more and put much more on the line. Options shouldn’t be counted on. They’re high risk. But no need to be that cynical. Plenty of people want the ones they were in the trenches with to win big when they do.

Will data model/schema/structure variance widen or narrow over time?
As Andrew Ng recently pointed out, "Every hospital has its own slightly different format for electronic health records" and "you might have 10,000 manufacturers building 10,000 custom AI models" (https://spectrum.ieee.org/andrew-ng-data-centric-ai). In other words, every firm has a different data model.

As data volume and uses continue to explode, what will happen to data structures? Will data model / schema / structure variance get wider or narrower?

Argument for narrowing: standardization becomes too powerful to resist. Example: Ford standardizing auto parts

Argument for widening: everyone competes for an "edge" in extracting value from data. Generating the "edge" means proprietary models. Proprietary models require not only bespoke "black box"es, but also proprietary ways of normalizing/standardizing data and related schemas. Furthermore, even if the model was not shared, each industry participant is not going to wait for some common "standard" to reflect the latest evolution of how it thinks about its data model.

Which trend will win?
You haven't said what your time horizon is and risk appetite. i.e., For how long do you not need this money and what % of capital are you OK to risk without which it's almost impossible to advise you.

That said; during times of uncertainty cash is king so my advise is to keep it in a time deposit for 6-8 months and wait for the markets to stabilise.

Based on yesterday's fed FOMC guideline they believe there's still a long way to go before they tame the inflation and they are likely to raise interest rates as high as 4%. I don't know if markets have priced 4% in yet or not. All this is to say next 8-10 months are going to be extremely choppy/volatile.

Once you see signs of stability and recovery you can enter equity markets through DCA.
That’s a new one for me, what’s the P?

The natural tendency in almost any software is to keep adding and adding, while rarely throwing anything out. More features, more code, more supported platforms, more supported languages, more this, more that, more, more, more.

If it was a physical product, you couldn't keep making it bigger and more complex ad infinitum, because making a physical thing bigger takes more material, and bounded physical resources would be consumed. With software, it's all just bits, and computers can hold a lot of bits.

This leads to bigger problems than just git running slowly.
Depends how much generated stuff is there. We have our graphql schema in git even though its auto generated via a library. But its useful in PRs to see exactly how the schema changed as a result of the root change.

I worked at a unicorn startup for about 1.5 years. It started to become clear to me that I probably wasn’t going to make a comparable income to what I was making before in a public company so I left. I exercised my shares. A year later they went public through a SPAC. the shares got a hair cut through the SPAC ratio. Total comp was still really bad but shares were locked up for 6 months or so (maybe longer I don’t remember). I couldn’t sell them and now that I can the total value is under $4,000. I paid over $1k exercising them which felt like an insane bargain.

Maybe it will work out better for some of you though. I feel like if you are not extremely passionate about a startup and you are not one of the original founders… great place to learn and build your career but don’t think it will make you rich
When I did the course in Utrecht they did actually switch to the shader approach.
Not in cost. A very substantial part of opex is maintaining the steam turbines, a cost not matched by any in renewables. Thus, even completely ignoring monstrous capex, fuel and waste handling, indemnity subsidy, and decommissioning costs, nukes cannot compete.

I feel like I've read about several big companies using monorepos, but I've never understood why. It feels like the source-control equivalent of writing your code in one big file.

Does anyone have any good resources for why and how best to implement a monorepo?
Is it me or anyone else seeing more and more articles that include lists/how to’s/procedures being shared on GitHub?
The same could be said of technicals - with air support they would be more effective.
That's interesting. Do EquityBee cover for your tax liability too?
Ultimately, the format will live or die by the ease of porting, which probably hinges on JUCE’s decision to adopt it or not. Having followed the rise and fall of a proprietary plugin format (Reason Rack Extension), both Reason’s storied place in the industry and the format’s technical merits failed to convince a critical mass of developers simply because the many SDK restrictions made porting too costly a barrier to entry for what was already a much smaller market.

If CLAP can make porting straightforward while gaining sufficient traction among DAWs, I could see it succeeding.
> "...we found that .xlf files made up almost 70% of the total number of files. These .xlf files are generated... they are never manually edited by engineers..."

First thought is why not to zip/tar away all of these "convenience" files per generation and add a line into build/install script to unpack them after checkout?

Additionally, add the .xlf into .gitignore to exclude them from untracked.

Noone cares to diff them as long as their contents is consistent with the checkout. Text compresses quite efficiently so this should not introduce any unreasonable build/install delays.
If they're sufficiently active on social media, tied into the rest of this, that starts to be their primary identity and it's not really pseudonymous anymore.

Agreed. You would be surprised how much companies are worth on the market. Private liquidity events can cause whacky things outside the original conventional stock contracts. EG. "The acquiring company can also accelerate the vesting of options or awards, choosing to pay cash or shares, in exchange for the cancellation of outstanding grants". That can be serious cash for someone somewhat new to the company - eg 1 year in.

>Absolutely baffling that the crypto community normalized this process of connecting your wallet to a random website and letting it access all of your money.

Is it worse than browsers+OSes allowing you to download and run a program? Or Github or npm or browser extensions? All 4 of those could steal all your crypto too if you install them.
One can be sensitive to the claim while, at the same time, working to ensure that all candidates get a fair shake. Some companies are better than others at making this happen, but it's not really THAT difficult to do in the first place.

I'm not saying don't have the translations at all. I'm saying:
1) caching things in git in general is a bad idea; why is it not in this case?
2) these are not - to my understanding - the raw resource files, but rather machine-generated intermediate files. This is why it's about caching, rather than minimal source files.

Additionally, to respond to your comment, if string translations don't change much then it may be possible to push them out as an internal 3rd-party library, and then they're even quicker to build.

Emirates for sure, but they are an exception. No other operator uses them at the same scale.

While I like the A380, I must say I am glad having avoided the Gulf Airlines so far. One time it was close that I booked family trip with Ethiad, but then my wife said they are supressing women, she will stay at home. Of course ethical arguments could be probably applied to any airline in Europe, flying with oil from the Middle East and now from Russia. And of course for all cars, but luckily I don't drive.
I'm not sure what you are arguing, I'm just saying both Tech and Finance are winners in the current globalized economy.

Lithium ion is just one type of battery. There are many including quite a few that don't involve exotic materials. For grid storage, energy density is a lot less important.

Even so, we're on track to produce li on batteries for cars by the twh per year. And most of those will have a second life in grid storage. That's before considering the effects of vehicle to grid storage.

There are no plans for nuclear anywhere close to the same scale. Changing that will require a debate about cost. This article does a great job of avoiding that topic entirely.
The most reliable output of the nuke industry has always been dishonesty. It is a big chore countering it everywhere it blooms.

Can't listen to anymore interviews w/ Andreesen after the rambling, self-serving podcast he gave on Econtalk (https://www.econtalk.org/marc-andreessen-on-software-immorta...), which is normally one of my favorite podcasts.

Unfortunately Roberts (the host) barely pressed Andreesen on his visionary love-fest for NFTs and crypto, which barely surpassed the typical nonsense spewed on twitter from NFT nuts who just so happen to have a lot to gain from folks buying in to their latest crypto site or NFT marketplace. Lots of talk of decentralized data and the power of people owning their own data, and ignoring the reality that 1) this idea has failed before and 2) it has always failed in the face of massive corporate greed, convenience, and walled gardens.

Andreesen was right about "software eating the world", I just wish he (or any VCs with his money and power) would try to grapple with or even acknowledge the negative consequences that have come from it.
You kind of have to experience the worst of boths worlds to understand where and how each method works and breaks down.

With multiple repos it's harder for teams to share code and collaborate. Each team has a repo that becomes a little fiefdom where they are oblivious to who is using their code and how they're using it. Suddenly they'll push out what they think is an innocuous refactor and inadvertently break core functionality other teams took a dependency on for better or worse.

So what happens is the team with a dependency now copies the old code into their repo and take on all the extra burden of maintaining this old version, trying to backport fixes, etc. It becomes an enormous mess and time sink. No one ever has time to go back and fix things, and when they eventually are forced to do so it costs more time and effort than it would have taken to do it right from the start. You'll also run into horrible versioning problems where you're stuck on old version X but depend on widget foo which needs current version Y of that dependency.

You might say well bad on that team they should have engaged the product managers, made sure their dependencies and usage were well tracked with them, been looped in the process of changes, etc... but in the real world when your boss says X feature needs to be shipped in a few days all of that process goes out the window.
> It certainly gets hugely dramatic once you include shadows & reflections.

It's remarkable just how 'hacky' high-quality rasterised graphics is.

For shadows, render a scene from the PoV of every light source, create shadow maps, and then transform those shadow maps to camera space.

For reflections, use stencil buffers; for global illumination, use radiosity maps; for ambient occlusion, either bake it in or take a big runtime penalty and render them real-time...

Ray-tracing (and derivatives, like (bidirectional) path tracing, light transport, etc) should really be called simulations, and the physics and mathematics behind it is so straightforward, but extremely accurate. Even the simplest Whitted ray-tracers can produce fairly photorealistic rendering with simplified geometry, and extending ray-tracers to include very complex effects (subsurface scattering, PBR, even general relativistic ray-tracing) is comparatively straightforward.

The only problem is the absolute battering that ray-tracing does on traditional hardware.
You are talking about an entirely different situation of building in an existing neighborhood, not what GP described. If affordable housing is your goal then would not it be better to have it somewhere instead of insisting that either it has to be near the evil NIMBY's houses or not at all? Many people would be fine with a cheap SFH in suburbs instead of a micro-apartment in the middle of downtown.
We use a similar method to simulate 2D atmospheric turbulence for adaptive optics simulations in astronomy. The structure of turbulence is described by an analytical power spectral density function (classically Kolmogorov spectrum). We generate random coefficients in the Fourier space and then weight them by the PSD. After an inverse Fourier transform we obtain a beautiful draw of turbulence with the desired spatial structure.

Remembrance of Moofs Past
Remember back when people recommended commiting node_modules into git?
I agree that they never really achieved the sort of replicability reached in other sciences. In perfect honesty, positivism is a bit old-fashioned in sociology (as I understand it secondhand). Like Archaeology/Anthropology (my field), most of the social sciences moved beyond positivism beginning in the 80s because of its many flaws and you'll find few strict adherents today. What replaced it was usually methodological pluralism in North America, but other places sometimes developed differently.

But I try to know my audience a bit and sometimes simplify certain things on HN to avoid arguments and conversational detours. Discussing things like postmodernism tends to get sidetracked and that's inherently necessary context, so...

Modern sociology is fairly quantitative and data-driven though. I think a lot of people would be surprised.
> LeetCode is the beginning of the process of standardized testing for engineers at Big Tech companies, better testing tools will probably soon supplant LeetCode

LeetCode has been the de-facto screening standard for at least the past 15 years. As a hiring manager, I keep closely up to date with the screening field. I see nothing else coming to replace LeetCode any time soon. There isn't even a general consensus about what such a replacement would look like.

LeetCode also isn't just used as an initial screen: in many processes it is effectively the only technical screen. You can pass many big tech screens if you just know LeetCode + System Design, and the latter is only required if you're a senior.

40 years ago, yet not soon enough.

> The future of compute is fine-grained. Cloudflare Workers is all about fine-grained compute, that is, splitting compute into small chunks -- a single HTTP request, rather than a single server instance. This is what allows us to run every customer's code (no matter how little traffic they get) in hundreds of locations around the world, at a price accessible to everyone.

I don't think this holds any truth at all.

Cloudflare Workers were designed to be so "fine-grained" because their whole rationale is to have very small compute steps at each request to do a very small touch-up at each request/response, With negligible or tolerable performance impact.

This is not a major paradigm change. It's a request handler placed on edge servers to do a minor touch up without the client noticing. Conceptually they are the same as a plain old Controller from Spring or Express. They just have tighter constraints because they run on resource-constrained hardware and handle performance-constrained requests. Other than this, they are a plain old request handler.

It's interesting because even a recent a16z podcast (an "oral essay" on crypto) argued that scarcity is what made bitcoin valuable. And that "scarcity" + collective belief is what makes things valuable (they claimed the dollar and bitcoin are the same in this regard, just collective belief propping them up). They didn't seem to grasp that there are lots of scarce things nobody cares much about. Dollars are in demand because they provide utility (namely, I need it to buy things and I need to pay my taxes in it).

There's probably a third utility, which is having lots of Bitcoin means you have lots of dollars, which means people know you're rich and want to date you, be friends with you, party with you in Miami etc. But it's interesting to notice (this is a bit trite but I think not totally) that people still tally crypto wealth in dollars ("he's a crypto billionaire" doesn't mean he has billions of bitcoins) so the utility of bitcoin seems to implicitly be that it's worth lots of dollars.

The 0 freq component is just the general, time independent bias of the signal. If it is 0 then of course the integral of something which is neither positively nor negatively biased overall will average out to null.

The apparent convergence to zero happens because the amount of sample points is exactly the amount of data that can be represented with the number of frequency components you are calculating in your FT. Obviously net error in electronic readings don't really go to zero when you have exactly 1 million of them. Use fewer frequencies in your fft, see the convergence sooner. Use more, see it later.

The libraries aren't that impressive. The FFT is simple enough to write in any coding language with basic trig and arithmetic. It could certainly fit into a similar amount of code to what the author has written.
