Imagine the fact it would be cheaper to take a plane trip to Germany, also account for lost hourly work cost that takes out of your work schedule, and still be cheaper than doing it locally.
If it's anything like speeding tickets in most of Europe your place of residence determines whether you have to pay on the spot or not. For example Netherlands and Germany (and many others) have an agreement in place where your home country collects the fines so you don't have to pay on the spot. But if you're from a non-EU country you'll almost certainly have to pay on the spot because there would otherwise be no way to collect the money if you refused later.
I’m a little surprised the likes of TK Maxx (I believe that’s the name they use in Europe) leaves room for smaller operators like your friend. Although I guess if there’s so much surplus retailers don’t want to accept returns, it makes sense.

I'm sure you're probably aware, but for posterity, Jerusalem is the cut down version that the record label released when they didn't know what to do with a 63 minute long song. Dopesmoker is the full song, along with Sonic Titan or Holy Mountain depending on which release you're listening to.

However, I did also recently chat to a acquihire of Zalando who are building a Computer Vision-based app to scan (near-naked) photographs of customers to provide a 3D model to approximate fit of clothes.

Which does seem the fix to a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place, but companies are more willing to through elaborate tech at it than just fix the original issue (cf. carbon capture). Very very frustrating.

As stated already - the main selling point of Oni is\was VSCode-like UI, ease of extension installation etc.

Speed or vim-like editing was not a selling point at all.

An interesting side-fact: Talking to a venetian during the pandemic they explained that their city is sat in a complicated political setup. The governening body (the Metropolitan City of Venice) actually consists of the city we know of Venice, but then also the surrounding islands and a decent chunk of the mainland.

Our venetian friend explained they'd wanted to implement laws like this but have always been hostage to the surrounding lands which see it as essentially a cash-cow.

It was the metropolitan for example (according to our friend) that outvoted Venice itself to allow cruiseboats back to Venice which is almost the sole cause of the over-population. Native venetians seem to dislike the cruise-boats given their tourists have a very different spending pattern compared to stay-over tourists. But the cruise-boats pay huge taxes straight into the municipal.

Especially if there is a very common refactoring bug and you get a pepperoni pizza instead of a pizza with one of the most natural toppings like pineapple.

But I tend to agree with the author. Sometimes verbosity is the lesser evil. No suggestion should become a dogma and whoever played some games of code golf knows that short code doesn't mean code that is easy to read. Extreme example of course. But I believe many start to optimize in this way just as a way to reduce the line count.

Still, there is still room for some kind of factories or function templates (not in the c++ sense). I think a user is allowed to repeat himself but then again a user is just another arbitrary layer again. But if such helpers are to be implemented, I tend to like it in a place where the user is invoking said helpers and not on the level below that if that makes sense.
I cannot listen to music whenever I do anything else than a braindead repetitive chore. I've always thought that the fact that I am a musician is related; I think I cannot help but try and analyze the music I listen to.

However, I enjoy playing 'strategic', puzzle-like videogames and the soundtrack usually is not a problem for me, although I rarely enjoy listening to it. Are the videogames I play braindead repetitive or should I try to listen to videogame soundtracks when I work?

> I have some familiarity with some of the problems they need to solve... The only real fully existential physical threats to the US will come not from sea, air, or land, cyber, or biology ... but from space.

I have some familiars with the problems a "cyber force" may need to solve and I believe that neither land, water, air, nor space will be the threats but instead cyber threats.

> Because of the physical distances and latencies in space, the only thing that secures those vehicles from each other (and therefore any commerce and national interest in space) is cybersecurity.

Ah we are in agreement after all.

But actually I think this is a case of familiarity bias. I agree we need the space force, and we need to defend the perimeter, but I think there's some truth that each war is unique, so we won't fight in space the way we had to fight air or sea. We need to defend in space the way we had to defend in air and sea though. No one in war would retry a losing technique, and if it was a winning technique everyone else had a chance to study it before the next battle, so you better find another winning technique. We still have a lot of new things to try in cyber warfare and a lot of history for "IRL" war actions.
Depending on the setup, companies can often block/disallow secondary market sales. It almost feels standard at this point.

I don't know if it has a specific name, but I believe it is possible to work around the company in cases like this. You basically setup a contract where you accept money and then agree the transfer shares as soon as they become liquid. No transfer of ownership happens beforehand so the company is left out of the process entirely.

I have never tried it, but I always thought it was an interesting concept since I first heard about it.

I blame npm for allowing that to happen. I get that it’s technically a third party, but they never even checked that the file mentioned in `main` was included, even without a “postinstall” step.

They, together with node, could have built a tool that validates main/type/exports on publish, but no. There’s literally no way to validate ESM until you run them or use a full linter. The whole point of ESM was that it’s statically analyzable.

Wouldn’t it be an engineer’s hell working at a place that employs based on resumes from resume driven developers?

It never makes economic sense to tear down a house if you're paying for it (above the land value). It depends on building codes in your area and such but my house is nearly 40 and it's not even close to end of life. Hell, the house I grew up in is still there and it's gotta be approaching 80.
> Speed or vim-like editing was not a selling point at all.

Speak for yourself, those are why I supported OniVim. The GUI was not what was important to me, it was the ability to install extensions easily, have vim keybindings, and most importantly, be able to handle the very large files I often work with (due to being written in OCaml), where VSCode hangs.

Not true the point was you pay for it (cloud), or you do it yourself (but then do it right, and not like a amateur who build's his first "gaming-pc").

The article is impossible to finish or digest, and i think it may be just a joke, something written in obfuscated language with little actual meaning so that readers think they are fools.

As for impostor syndrome, maybe it's not actually a psychological phenomenon at all. Maybe it's real and vast majority of people doing something are indeed impostors. We are living in the era of fakery and incompetence and being a well-paid professional or a business owner doesn't mean someone is not an absolute fake. And maybe these people are just feeling it with their guts.

It doesn't mean it shouldn't be corrected by therapy. Simply because believing you are not a fake makes you a much better, more convincing fake.

Alright, i'll admit that i were a bit quick to judge the development and the presumed decrease in costs of what are essentially large scale complex industrial plants while comparing them to airplanes (not large scale complex industrial plants). I've just realized that not only it's a bit far fetched, but the logistical/ecological impact is in a completely different ballpark, meaning that any sort of a comparison between two completely different industries is meaningless. However, i still can't understand what your point is. Are those projects unnecessary? Should the governments, researchers and companies involved stop working on these projects? Or are you trying to say that i was way too quick to be like "oh yeah, the costs are going to be low and we're all going to drink desalinated water", because if so, i've already admitted that the initial comparison was bad, albeit i still think that eventually (and eventually is the keyword) the costs are going to be low enough to resolve the water supply issues in countries such as Australia for example.

If you have an issue with my suggestion that perhaps more well-off communities could encourage the developments in the water technology, then i'd like to say that i don't mean that farmers needs should be ignored in favour of some "weirdos living in a desert".
> I absolutely cannot listen to music with words when I code

1000%

My first job was at a design agency, where they understood next to nothing about programming (and neither did I tbh). They used to listen to the news and talk shows on the radio all day. It was impossible for me to focus. Literally impossible.

On the topic of music, as soon as my brain hears a word it hyper focuses on it like my dog when she smells a treat. It just can't let it go. And if I know the lyrics, forget it, might as well stop coding and start air drumming.

To add to the other comment, Apple installed on-device scanning to iOS as far back as version 14.3 (https://pocketnow.com/neuralhash-code-found-in-ios-14-3-appl...). They claim they won't activate it without a court or government order, but these are becoming easier and easier to obtain. Under the Patriot Act, virtually anyone's electronic devices may be searched for any reason. In effect this means that Apple has access to all information on all iOS devices, and the government may access any of these at will.
Interesting, thank you. One remark:

> Modernization is hard, time consuming and very expensive. These regulations are a good driver for all that, but it takes time. Having been in some of these boardrooms there is not typically a cartel of evil executives figuring out how to screw patients. A lot of the time it is a group of relatively normal people trying to hold up a technological and business process house of cards with chewing gum, paper clips and hope.

It bears questioning how, in ”the richest country on Earth”, something as important as a hospital ends up held together with spit and twine.

Inside this richest country, the richest individuals and companies have been capturing ever-larger shares of GDP. Perhaps instead of growing private fortunes, this money could have gone towards modernising these regulated industries?

If you search “AMD Zen neural branch prediction” you’ll find several references to this, but very few details. I dunno if perceptrons really count as “neural nets” these days since it’s just a weighted average. Lots of computations are technically neural nets if we use such broad definitions.

It’d be pretty cool to see an x86 language model in future CPUs. I have no doubt that compute will continue to scale faster than memory access and the relative cost of pipeline stalls will never go down.

The bit about the logos is something that really resonates with me, and that I definitely notice — they feel like a waste of my time, space and attention. Actually I don't even care for larger studio logos in trailers. I prefer to judge the trailer on its own merit.

It's not just limited to trailers. It's worse on physical objects, as the logos are now using you as an advertising vehicle. Clothing, laptops, are particularly egregious examples.

But back to point. Logos in trailers are just a waste, wholeheartedly agree.

Also those screens with positive reviews surrounded by the leaves. I'm not sure if those are effective on audiences, but they feel like the same realm of time 'wastage'.

"404: regrets not found"
I’ve experienced this, and I’ve found it often involves a fair bit of engagement in other parts of the company and often is probably a couple of layers above your day-to-day stuff. If you’re heads-down most of the time and delivering to your team and PM, you might miss the emails and announcements about strategy and synergy.

How to handle it is up to you. If you want to engage more with that, go for it. IMO it’ll probably be more work outside your comfort zone, but also opens doors for career growth that might otherwise be unavailable.

If you’re Comfortable and don’t find it relevant or useful, keep going as you are. I wouldn’t be overly concerned about it.
