> Every minute, humans send 220 million emails, 70 million WhatsApp and Facebook messages, 16 million texts, 530,000 tweets, and make 6 million Google searches.

And the google says: "The average size of an email file is about 75 KB"

That's about 15TB of data every minute, about 21,6 PB every day. Only emails. This number is so abstract i dont believe it's real. I would also say that it's not only humans that sends so much messages...
You can set a permission that says “these credentials can only be used on an aws instance owned by this account”

Even if the creds are stolen they’d need access to an instance in your account to use them. Also you can be alerted if someone attempts to use them anywhere else.
Since you mention Go it seems like you’re mostly using Python for webdev. Webdev has always sucked in Python, unless you just want to make a CRUD app in Django. The GIL, the lack of static typing make it painful. Python is also not particularly efficient.

These days Python is targeted towards general scripting, data processing, scientific computation, etc. It’s really good as a glue language or for anything involving numpy. I use Python every day but I would not use it to build applications.
About the Bloomberg comparison:

It has certainly attracted attention on HN, so it wasn't pointless.

I might be somewhat close to your target demographic and personally have a vague notion of the Bloomberg terminal as a thing you use for high-profile trading, not much more, so I can't do anything with the 90%. I would also think that you're targeting the same people who'd otherwise use one, so not me.

What might catch me (without offending people who know more about the terminal) would be something like "The [equivalent of a] Bloomberg terminal for [your target audience]".
There's a point where you're so broken that it's really not reasonable to build those again.

For reference, I got into this position by doing a 30 week natural bodybuilding prep. I've done a variety of extreme physical feats including watercutting 16lbs over a day and all the others that come with wrestling too.

All of these demand extreme willpower and discipline to the point of being considered indoctrination. If I detailed these things or shared pictures, no one would doubt I'm capable of building habits or routines normally.

Right now I struggle to get myself to cook breakfast.

In my scenario, where I don't have lifelong clinical depression, low dosing antidepressants as a crutch to build out of the hole is viable. For others (i.e. people who have attempted suicide as teenagers), it's kinda a necessity.

Depression and anxiety is on a spectrum as well, and it goes very deep sometimes.

And to follow-up, I did try those suggestions. Good, natural sleep helps the most and gives me the best emotional stability I've had recently. Unfortunately it's not enough. I've been trying to build for months now and I'm still nowhere.

To put it another way, there are a myriad of ways to increase testosterone levels besides using TRT. Many of those methods are the same you suggest. However, if you're castrated... it ain't gonna do anything. A parallel with neurotransmitters exists (i.e. serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, ...) and I don't believe I am quite in that boat yet but there are many who are. My ex girlfriend attempted suicide at 11 and 18, and has successfully used prozac with, fortunately, no side-effects

For sub-clinical depression, I firmly believe you're correct and building those habits goes a long way.
A good start would be to remove food from FDA and task the USDA with inspections. Remove making of food consumption guidelines altogether.
HCL is also oodles more complex than TOML since it has expression evaluation, whereas TOML is just a static format. It really depends on your use case and I think there's a lot of cases where TOML makes a lot more sense than HCL (e.g. metadata formats).
Maybe. The problem is the majority of the population has the exact same taste I'm talking about. Everyone loves summer blockbusters while Bladerunner is a niche.

So am I rationalizing something or am I trying to explain something to a stubborn elitist minority?

I think we're both intelligent enough to know that the later reason is the actual reality and that I'm not the one actually rationalizing things.

Top Gun just crossed a billion dollars, and while I haven't seen it, I'm sure the pacing is frenetic as fuck. Nobody needs to rationalize a billion dollars, but somebody definitely needs to justify a niche movie like blade runner.

cheers.

If you let them do it before reacting, you've already lost, and that's the point.

Anyhow, it's not widely misunderstood, AFAICT, since when it is invoked it is invariably with the strong implication, and usually the explicit statement, that that is the threat being addressed. You might at times question the judgement behind the assessment of the risk, but that's not a misunderstanding of the paradox of tolerance.

You're being pedantic but not actually using a common definition of chemical. Perhaps "chemical substance" might apply.

Oh, well then you are talking perhaps using a newtype to wrap another type and perhaps use deriving to get behaviors from underlying type automatically.

Or with a record you just explicitly implement typeclass methods in reference to the contained data.

If you mean doing it without doing a typeclass, well the functions need to have different names. If that’s exactly what you want. In order to have the same function name you need a typeclass.

excellence in software engineering isn’t something you can buy. a university can’t bestow it. a title or certification can’t assert it.

it’s something one grows over time because they are passionately curious. it grows because they love to explore, to discover, to understand.

there isn’t a product that can be purchased and consumed that makes you thinner and fit. software engineering is no different. the only way to grow is to exercise, and the best way to exercise is to love doing it because it is fun.

manipulating metal, cloud, laptop, browser, and server are not very different. all can be made dumpster fires. all can be made magnificently simple, or magnificent in some other aspect. all are discoverable, and easy to experiment with. all are at your fingertips, cheaper and more accessible than ever.

DevOps is a product, best to avoid the purchase.

devops is a fantastic idea. one should be good with infrastructure, because that is where code runs. one should be good with code, because that is what runs. one should be able to reason about their systems from top to bottom and inside out. how else could one simply intuit what is wrong, and make it less so?

excellence in software engineering is about seeking out that which is ugly, and making it beautiful. seeking that which is hard, and making it easy. seeking that which is impossible, and making it hard.

why would one accept any arbitrary boundary, and think that this reality applies only on one side of it?

where we’re going, we don’t need roads. we need curiosity, imagination, and fun.

Understanding jq's SQL style operators JOIN and INDEX
I have a base 2017 MBP, and I'm currently testing out a base 2022 M2 MBP. There's no doubt it's much quieter — the CPU temp is ~30°C instead of 50-70°C. But it also seems quite a bit faster. I am a prosumer type user (I have hundreds of tabs open, but don't compile code often), and the difference is noticeable.

For me, the biggest issue with the Intel MBP was that it got hot so the CPU was throttled all the time. But seeing how cool the M2 runs, I have zero concern that it will ever slow down with my workload. It will always be as fast as the Intel MBP was on its best day. Plus, tons more battery life. I do hate the Touchbar though, and the 2 port setup...
That'll help with inflation...
I had not heard of keypaths before. They seem to provide functionality similar to lenses in Haskell.
A focused human will currently do better than automated tools, but actually getting a human to focus on this sort of thing is rare. Most projects I'm familiar with use a multitude of dependencies and only do cursory verification of changes at best.

An automated tool to check all depency changes for suspicious code and flag that to a human could be valuable. Whether or not that could be done in a way where wading through the false positives is worth it, I'm not sure, but it's a reasonable idea.

Yes - I do this! I actually do it to reason to why the Universe is as it is. It helps me to see the groups universe systems as essentially recurring code. It helped lead to a belief as an eternal force rather than some ethereal figure in the sky.

It also led me down "scarey paths". Such as.... the most logical existences are "0, or plurality". One is therefore less likely than 0 or 2+. Thus, shouldn't no God's or many Gods be more likely than 1?
This is true and one of the reasons it's still not out of the question for bespoke memory controllers to be written for specific accelerators. There really isn't a one size fits all memory controller.
> Linux kernel also has (or had?) code to check for and also avoid a HLT instruction that doesn't work

I wonder how this works. How do you safely check for an instruction that "locks ups unrecoverably" on some hardware? Will Linux hang on boot on such systems? That is still better than hanging randomly later, but I can see why Microsoft didn't want to go for that approach.

EDIT:

The check in Linux literally just called hlt a bunch of times and hoped it didn't crash. There was no recovery in case it failed (note how there's no code path to print anything else than "ok"). Searching for "checking hlt instruction" you can actually find people asking on forums why their boot stoped at that point. The check has been removed in recent kernels, so I had to go back in history a bit to find it.

As somebody who's comfortable with Python and C++... ugh. Types are frankly kinda silly. They don't do anything, the language doesn't even ship a blessed typechecker, they don't speed up your code, they don't make it safe, they just add useless notation that some mutually-incompatible third-party tools grok. And the mutually-incompatible thing is what really rubs me wrong. They didn't sit down and define a bombproof type system; they just added an optional notation and let the community figure it out (like packaging). Years later, and the community has not figured it out (like packaging).

Compared to C++, where you can do incredible zero-overhead magic with the type system; for example duck-typing, once The Way, is now an absolute nightmare in Python's type system. Python typing is little but baggage and warts unless you've drunk the cool-aid and then you're horrified that people like me haven't.

(and, all that said, I'm quite excited about py3.11, it's great on performance and ergonomics)
> What's lacking is schooling, housing and entertainment, and much of this could likely be developed.

Also missing: friends, family, and diversity.

As a non-white person in the US, most small towns are a non-starter for me because it's uncomfortable being the only non-white person in every room. I don't ascribe that to any malice on their part -- it's just an unfortunate reality. I think most people feel this way, regardless of their race.

> And, again, leaving the politics aside, this seems like a win-win

That's like saying "leaving safety aside" or "leaving authoritarianism aside"... you just can't. It might be the determining factor about whether a place is appealing.

We now have to contend with the fact that most of the inexpensive states will criminalize many aspects of family planning, the way they are criminalizing abortion. When my girlfriend gets pregnant, we will spend the pregnancy in a blue state for that reason (despite living in a red one now).

> small towns don’t want to be left behind

Why do you think this? It sounds like your definition of "left behind" is that they're not going to grow or be filled with young creatives. By that definition, a lot of small towns absolutely do want to be left behind.

Most of them seem to be filled with people who want their children to have more or less the same childhood that they had: similar vibe, quality of life, etc.

I can't speak for all small towns, but most small towns would probably not appreciate the developments you're describing. They might as well be started on a relatively uninhabited piece of land, like Serenbe and similar places were[1].

> I would think it’s cruel to try and bring another mammoth back to what ever we currently think is a good for them

Bias for what is 'cruel' cannot exist without historical context, for Mammoths or even humans for that matter.

Any species (human or otherwise) is a product of its environment. We've seen this time and time again in historical examples such as human sacrifices, fights to the death, torture- all these ideals were cultivated and accepted by the majority at one point or another.

It's important to also recognise that mammoths only became extinct roughly 4000 years ago and that they are the closest ancestor to modern day elephants. Mammoths existed at the same point in time as bison, grizzly bears, and camels. Camels even predate mammoths and co-existed with species like the giant beaver.

In the timeline of evolution 4000 years is an extraordinarily short period. I'd wager that reintroducing mammoths into a suitable environment would go surprisingly smoothly.

> If humans go extinct and some alien species works out how to clone us in vitro and put us in a breathable atmosphere, do you think that would be a life worth living? Hard pass for me

This seems like a catch-22. In this example, you would be reborn in a new environment with zero historical knowledge of the human race.

As odd as it seems... Even if you were made to ride around an alien spaceship naked on a unicycle for your foreseeable lifetime, you would still have no context in the slightest for if this would be a life worth living for you, or if it is an experience you would want to endure.

You would be crafting and designing the social norms for your ancestors from scratch.
I have a 2017 base MBP, which also has 2 USB-C ports. On that machine, I think it is fair to characterize it as having a single port, since you have to plug it in all the time.

On the M1 and M2 machines, however, this is not quite as fair a characterization. After all, the battery life is ~2x that of the Intel MBPs. So you can definitely plug in your iPhone into one port and an external HD into the other and do a backup without worrying about the MBP running out of juice.

Still, I think it's pretty silly that the new MBA has MagSafe + 2x USB-C and the base MBP is still scraping by with just the USB-C. Even the original Touchbar MBPs had more connectivity than that! (The base MBP didn't have the TB, blessedly, so it was only the 4-port machines that had this 'upgrade'.)
That's not even the case in C++ (I find myself having to step through Boost and even the standard library once in a while) but it's about 10x worse in a language that has so little static verification. If you use the library wrong then you find out via a runtime error you'll have to track down. Instead of, say, a type checker complaining about the type mismatch of your template parameter.
Thank you for this comment. It encouraged me to read it to my two kids (~8) last night. I actually only got about half way through it. The younger one got bored and it actually started making me choke up. I loved the story as a kid but as an adult it hurts.
No offense, but this is like asking "how do I become a graphic artist and consumer behavior expert in 30 min or less".

For now, just use someone else's designs. Use a component library like MUI (based off Google's Material UI) https://mui.com/ or one of the many ready-built templates (https://mui.com/store/#populars). These are higher-level than Bootstrap (as in, you're dropping in prebuilt UIs and not designing from the ground up like you would with Bootstrap). It will look way better than anything you try to learn about in 30 min. There are similar themes and such for Wordpress, Shopify, etc. I don't know what sort of app you're building, but the UIs can change a lot depending on use case. Your app will look generic, but that's better for your users than an backend engineer trying to hack something together with no experience.

Once you're ready to learn, expect to spend a at least a few days to get a good enough understanding. I'd start with UX first if I were you, like this course series (maybe an hour or so?) https://www.linkedin.com/learning/user-experience-ux-for-non...

If you decide this is something you want to keep investing in, there's a much more detailed 9-hour course: https://www.linkedin.com/learning/paths/become-a-user-experi...

And then a 27-hour course for web design:
https://www.linkedin.com/learning/paths/become-a-web-designe...

And/or a similar 25-hour one for frontend dev, including design elements:
https://www.linkedin.com/learning/paths/become-a-front-end-w...

LinkedIn Learning (formerly Lynda) is very good, IMO, and well worth the money. I learned most of what I know there, moving from full stack to now a dedicated frontend person, learning a lot of design and UX along the way.

I think it is realistic to be able to self-teach and become somewhat competent with frontend design in a few weeks, or several days of intense study if you really must. But you'll also have to make time to practice, publish, get feedback, iterate, etc. It is not realistic to do that in 30 min any more than you can teach someone to be a DB admin in 30 minutes. These are specialized careers for a reason.

If you desperately need something done for a MVP, again, just buy someone else's design (or hire someone and learn from them). Then keep reusing design patterns that work for you and your users, and gradually improve them as you learn.

Good luck and and have fun :)

Edit: Also, if you want more specific guidance, tell us more details about what kind of app you're building, show us any UIs you already have, or the kind of information you want to show, what you're asking users to do, any sort of feedback or research you have on your target audiences, etc.
Taking off my pedantic hat, I think we agree. Meaning in the pragmatic real world, if you can keep weight off it’s better than having the weight on, and no one is doing that in the real world with an all sugar diet.

No, that is nonsense. Apple only sells $1000+ devices and unsurprisingly none feature an "entry level" CPU. Just like a gaming laptop maker might only sell i7 and i9 models. Nobody would call an i7 "entry level" just because it is the cheaper of the two.

If you a actually read the article you quoted, the main argument he’s making is essentially “well, they may be bigots, but you need to learn to argue with bigots if you want to make progress”. That may or may not be true on a college campus (and at a public college the argument is likely immaterial because a government run institution is, and should be, bound by free speech in ways that private forums are not and should not be).

Open source projects and technical communities are different- they have different goals, needs to operate under different constraints, and so should behave differently.
