First, it is very hard and there is no such thing as a set of perfect answers for every situation. So, relax and try to have fun while you learn - you might be right, you might be wrong and so is every other developer. L

Second, I think the best way to learn is to just work on a lot of systems. Sometimes your ideas will work out. Other times, you will wish you had become anything other than a software developer. Both states are equally helpful. It’s nice to write good software and have things work out. But you’ll learn a lot more from the projects you can only fix with ‘rm -rf’.

Third, try to get as wide a range of experience as possible. Be the lead designer on one project. And be extremely junior on another project. You’ll learn as much from implementing another person’s designs as you will learn from implementing you own.

And finally, have fun and be cool to everyone you work with. You will meet a lot of beautiful people and a lot of assholes. But if you love writing software, you’re part of the tribe. Make it positive and be cool to others. In twenty years, you won’t remember half of what you know now. But you will always remember developers who were kind to you when you were learning. Be one of those memorable developers…:)

Good luck. It’s a hard path but I know you can do it. You’ve proven it by starting off here.

Sure, it's the same amount of work, but you're forced to do it and the compiler will be able to reject invalid programs. In languages that allow null (including TS, it doesn't 100% enforce the stuff that Haskell, etc. does), you can skip that check, saving some work I suppose, at the risk of your code exploding at runtime. Having stack traces which jump across 50,000 lines of code because someone forgot to check for null somewhere sucks a lot.
You are optimistic. Perhaps it could be if the economy wasn’t mismanaged into the ground the last 18 months.

10 Lessons of an MIT Education
Jeff Dean is also a legend and not just a "senior engineer", more like google's version of John Carmack.
Two major things I see: have to normalize the value of money in real dollars to adjust for inflation - so years ago $1 is not the same value as today.

Secondly crude is not gas, gas is refined crude. Refiners are not adding capacity, actually there’s been a decline so there is a bottleneck there. Refineries might also now cost more to operate now due to .. well rising energy prices for one, but at least one other factor might be (not sure if this is true, but plausible) more stringent regulations on environmental pollution from the refining process.
While it is possible, it is certainly less than stellar compared to the other languages that were reviewed. Granted my experience was 1 - 2 yrs ago with .Net Core 5. I recall having to deal with setting different temp directories each time I wanted to run a another instance of a 'single binary' because the first thing it did was unzip the bundled runtime into the system wide TEMP directory. It certainly was a single file app but behaved more like an installer.

Whoever came up with that obviously didn't understand the why of single .exe applications.
This reminds me of a bug in macOS that for a while caused our builds to fail once or twice a month with something like "/bin/sh: /bin/sh: cannot execute binary file"

This was because sometimes, the kernel would fail to execute a binary for some reason (this was the core bug), returning ENOEXEC to the libc, which, dutifully, would pass it on to the shell as documented in the article. Of course since the failed executable was a real binary, not a script, the shell would fail with the above error.

I haven't encountered the bug in a couple years, so I guess they finally fixed it. Silently.

> I’m pretty sure the mismatch is just that the major ui frameworks were designed for oop languages, not that UI is inherently oo

I’m pretty sure you are right. It seems to me that both FRP and ECS models of UI are at least as good as OO models, and a lot more adaptable to Rust than conventional OO models. But GUIs and OOP grew up together and have been deeply wedded, so non-OO UI just isn’t how people are used to thinking, for the most part.
I second this. The variety on itch.io is a godsend. Godot is flexible enough that you can work with most of the assets available on itch. My experience is mostly with 2D and isometric games, but it was straightforward to import assets downloaded from itch.io and get going.

I also prefer the separation between the engine and asset store. I would rather not have a magic button I press in my IDE to have asset show up in the game.
Yeah. Video games are very good at getting you to do this, and for teaching systems thinking.

Not directly related to any specific type of system, of course, but very good at getting you to build a system, maintain it, and fix any issues with it.

Factorio is an obvious example.

So starnix is a tool being worked on at Google (in Rust, [1]) to implement Linux's syscall layer and is validated against test cases [2] written for gVisor, also a program that implements Linux's syscalls, but one that is instead written in Go [3].

I see NIH is growing even stronger at Google. Why not build on gVisor, rather than re-implement everything from scratch?

I like using these two ‘jokes’. Neither of them are actually funny, but they help (me).

- What is the difference between a semicolon and a cat??

One has a pause at the end of its clause. The other has claws at the end of its paws.

- What happened when the semicolon broke grammatical rules??

It got two consecutive sentences.

—-

All that said, it’s usually better not to. There aren’t really many cases in modern English where a semicolon is necessary. And there are even fewer cases where a semicolon provides a more clear expression than two sentences. In practice, they’re most often part of really badly disjointed ‘sentences’.

It’s likely unrelated and caused by UI and generally old and underpowered HW, but since my Nest was updated to Fuchsia it’s much less reliable, very often laggy and generally frustrating to use.

If you have just one patient in hospital with COVID and no other ailment that will represent a degradation of the 'normal' operation of the hospital.

If you have 10% of the hospital population in hospital with COVID (and just for COVID) you will have degraded the performance of the hospital by 10%.

This is because hospitals are designed to operate at maximum capacity (i.e all the beds are in use and there is a waiting list to get a bed). Every bed in use by a COVID patient will just add someone to the waiting list.

So my question would be what percentage of patients are in hospital because of COVID and only because of COVID?

That number is a very good measure of the pressure that hospital system will be under and my guess is it will be much greater than 10%.
Sniffing glue may be bad, eating apples may be bad. But when we talk we quite often refer to the most general case. In that case there first option is "bad" but the second "good".

"everything is the same" is not a very useful discussion.
A previous place I worked had this situation of employees in countries like Australia getting options because of the tax laws there. Company IPO’d at a price below the last 409a. By the time lockup was over, options going back several years were underwater.

Those employees’ equity was worthless while those on RSUs in the US (and many other countries) still got something.
this is never actually said in the paper.
It is the first stage of every useful program.

Add to it, and show that it still terminates, uses finite memory, introduces no data races or undefined behavior, and maybe computes a step toward something useful.

> App branding now doesn’t hold a candle to the late-90’s mania for every app having its own skin engine.

I dunno, I would say the 90s (well, for Windows and MacOS, DOS and the other no-standard-GUI OS’s that were still very much alive in at least the early part of that period are a different story) were pretty much the low point in terms of degree of UI branding for “professional” apps.

That moment when your party has moved so far to the left that left of center democrats are now considered right wing extremists for derailing your agenda.

The democrats own plans and piss poor economy management stalled themselves. If your party’s agenda can’t even unify your own party, let alone attract some bi-partisan support, it might be time to soften the agenda a bit and start doing some things widen your support.
RF channels actually are a finite resource on a coax segment because the aggregate capacity of one port coming off the CMTS is considerably less than properly implemented singlemode fiber. Because most residential customer traffic is inbound, like people watching netflix or browsing the web, they allocate the capacity asymmetrically.

You do know Ukraine had a violent coup in 2014, executed by Obama, and the democratically elected pro-Russian leader had to flee for his life? This isn't a conspiracy theory, Obama bragged publicly about how he brokered the deal for the unconstitutional transfer of power to his hand picked choice.

If you didn't know, consider what that means about your news sources. Even if it doesn't change your positions on Ukraine, the US overthrew a country and it wasn't big enough news that they made sure you knew it. It's just a random interview buried on CNN or whatever.

On the other hand a cable tv incumbent in a given metro area has a huge first mover advantage of having established the right-of-way in various places (aerial pole to pole, underground duct, etc).

This is good because no application of any import should be built in a language with which one has faux similarity.

Since this is the original paper I'll put my comment here. I used to follow the literature on this subject up to a few years ago, the key issue was that most of the studies had bad datasets. It's one of those things where it's impossible to run a randomized controlled trial. As an example of the issues you would often find in studies, if you dug into the comparison population of non-drinkers it included people that were non drinkers because of severe health issues, severely skewing the data. The few papers that did serious data-cleaning efforts were mostly unequivocal about alcohol just being bad no matter what.
I really enjoyed the post, thank you!

The ideas really resonate with me and remind me a lot of the ideas from Basecamp's Shape Up (https://basecamp.com/shapeup).
> I read that less than 1% of the 18-29 year-old crowd "strongly approves" of DC's half-assed responses to these crises.

Sincere question: has there ever been any examples in US history of 18-29 year olds strongly approving of any handling of something controversial?

Even if I did approve of how any administration handled anything I am sure that at best I would fall in the "approve" category. "Strongly approve" seems to imply (to me) that I believe an administration did the best they could in handling a situation.

Ask for their feedback. In the meantime, treat the variables for your rejection as "Unknown unknowns". You don't even know what you don't know.

To find out, work on an interesting project. Build something that involves the whole tech stack you are targeting. You will actually find a lot of gaps in your knowledge. The idea should be something that you care about... that will keep you interested in seeing the final outcome if it is a large project.

You have to showcase your ability to work on large sophisticated projects and the confidence that you can get them done.

Control of both houses and the executive branch, but can’t implement their stated agenda because it’s unpalatable to members within their own party. Yeah I’d say they are to blame.
Not OP, but we had to get a c section and milk production was slow to come in. We also used the breastfeeding aid, but with formula.

The way it was explained to us, the idea is to continue to stimulate milk production while supplementing. We used it for a week until production was sufficient. I personally enjoyed this as it allowed me to be more involved and removed the stress of knowing if we were feeding our child enough while still getting what we could from breastfeeding.

We definitely had a great hospital. With all the stress and lack of sleep, I'm not sure I would've kept calm if they'd imposed stuff that way. Not letting you the choice of using formula when using the breastfeeding aid seems crazy.

Sure! As far as normal DVCS features go, I'd say Gitlab and Github are almost at feature parity(I happen to use both extensively). The UI may just come down to a matter of preference.

Github indeed has somewhat superior code-review tools. But I've found Gitlab to be perfectly adequate.

When it comes to CI/CD, Gitlab CI blows Github Actions out of the water by a HUGE margin.

So, if I just wanted a tool that got things done for me, instead of fragmenting myself with Github + Github Actions + TravisCI / CircleCI, etc, I'd just get one Gitlab subscription and call it a day.

THC is only part of the story. If you change this to cannabinoids in general I'd be more inclined to agree. CBD in particular is very important to regulate balance out the negative aspects of THC.

I'm not sure it's strong logic to re-use something else because it implements linux syscalls, the hard part is what it does after it receives the syscall.

Are we talking about typical "work hard, relatively successful people in middle class" or "extremely rich people" here? Because the latter, I can guarantee, is typically due to pure luck, despite all what we want to believe.

May I please know what kind of technical interviews you've had? Have you tried sending a friendly email and asking the interviewers for reasons? Do they have issues with your style of solving the problems? Like, do you hole up and do it all by yourself or do you walk them through and ask clarifying questions along the way?

Even if the manager likes you, HR might gatekeep due to employment not being a perfect track record. Maybe sending HR an email thanking them for their help along your journey so far and asking why you didn't make the final cut may also give you some insight.

There are some benefits for employees. So long as the company goes public, RSUs are worth something unlike options which can be underwater. You don’t have to pay to exercise them. Tax is only due at IPO and treated as normal income. There are none of the rules around AMT. There’s not the risk as with options of paying out of pocket to exercise plus taxes then the stock drops or there’s no liquidity and you’re net negative.

From the company’s perspective, employees with RSUs are not actually shareholders until IPO. All those SEC and state rules about having to report like a public company once you have a certain number of employees are avoided. It essentially lets companies stay private much longer.
This is wild to me as someone who spent many years in Haskell and made shit tons of money doing it. There are myriad Haskell jobs available. I'm taking a break right now (mainly to pick up other skills), but would go back to it in a heartbeat. There are lots of Haskell jobs.

Neither starlink nor most terrestrial telco offer real internet service. I don't really care about speed. I care about participating in the internet and consistent latency. Some rare terrestrial telcos will offer ipv4 addresses and so use of ports for a much higher fee but it is the general rule that most don't. Consistent latency is impossible to achieve with wireless' random round trip time and tcp back-off.

They're fine services for consuming media but they aren't very good ISPs.

Indeed it is better for many use cases, but they seemed to have stopped taking feature requests for WSL1 a couple of years ago when I asked for the adjtimex syscall to set system time: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/6310

> I presume this is wontfix for WSL1?

> Yes WSL2 won't help your use-case presently. A feature requestion along the lines of "hardware clock passthrough" could be submitted under a different cover.

It’s likely the feature freeze started even earlier and I just never noticed.

Also see WSLg (GUI), which only works on WSL 2. I think it’s clear that WSL1 is in maintenance mode.

Couldn't the results be worded as "older people less likely to drink dangerously?" Which makes sense.

I suspect fewer 25 year olds are having a glass of wine with dinner and are more likely to go out to a bar where even if you only have one drink you're surrounded by people drinking dangerously.
Do you consider breastfeeding to be an environmental factor?

Breastmilk contains the most microRNA of any body fluid[1] and has the potential to modulate gene expression, so there may be ways breastfeeding affects the genome that we don't understand yet. How long a child is breastfed is associated with epigenetic differences in children.[2]

Breastfeeding is negatively associated with the methylation of LEP. Childhood obesity is associated with lower cognitive performance.[3]
