Thanks for elaborated answer.

Most of my use cases have to deal with 10-100 PDF small documents, some – 1000-2000, but I don't want the solution to choke on 10GB of huge PDFs (I was just uploading those to Google Pinpoint). So Go or Rust for backend should be good fit.

By cross-platform frontend I meant web/ios/android/desktop. It's probably only Flutter, but I'm looking for other plugins than Syncfusion's one to try. I know that sounds like overkill for many people (website with search suffice), but I already have cross-platform apps that would benefit from this functionality, and web is a fallback there, not the main option.
cool..ya, Stripe is capable of sending out advance email notifications to capture 3DS for recurring payments. But user has to complete the 3DS authentication every month for the payment to go through. It's just a hassle to remind the user every month that they have to complete the AFA on time and code the processes in the system to deal with delays

And you don't need to basically go into a travel agent and get a piece of paper that is incredibly hard to replace if lost.

In general, travel information is a lot more frictionless. Flight cancelled, bags lost? There's an app for that. And in general, clothing expectations mean I have to check bags a lot fewer times.

As you say, seating is better if you're willing to pay for it but I've never bought WiFi on a flight. It's one of the few opportunities I have to really read anyway.
I imagine there was an advertised performance that they were under. I think that's should be the baseline.

This being a mistake/bug, I think it's obviously underperforming rather than being optimized.
You can easily understand what it does because you picked an example that is easy to understand :)

This discussion often ends up in the extremes: inline everything versus abstract everything. I don't think anybody reasonable would opt for either of those extremes, we should focus on the very large middle ground where there's a lot of subjectivity.

Trust me on this, I've been raised on the DRY dogma and all related architectural patterns in favor of abstraction. I've lived the life, for 2 decades. But I cannot ignore the outcomes. Most codebases are extremely difficult to understand and it's very painful to change things. As 90% of all software development is maintenance, that's a planetary-sized problem.

This doesn't mean you should inline everything, it means sane choices. As a simple example, say you're using a literal in your code:

(if orderAmount > 100000)

This code is incredibly easy to read. Common convention says to put this in a constant, at the top of the file. Old me agrees, new me does not. For as long as it's the only occurrence of the value, it doesn't need abstraction. The only thing it would do is make the code more difficult to understand. The very eager abstracter might even put that constant in a separate file.

The point of this example is to abstract based on real reuse, not imagined reuse. I'm not against abstraction only against unnecessary abstraction.

A second example. Say you have a reusable UI component. A change request comes in that's pretty large and specific for one niche need. It kind of goes against the spirit of the initial purpose of the component but is still related enough to consider it in scope of the component.

Old me might add a "toggle" to the component, after which it can render in two modes. Sometimes called a "god component". This approach sucks. It makes the component much more complicated and changing and testing it becomes a nightmare.

Even older me would break down the component into smaller components and then "compose" them based on its mode. This is even worse, now you have to jump around many places whilst the sub components are never actually reused (pointless abstraction).

New me says fuck it and splits the component in two. Allowing significant code duplication between both components. It's not as radical as it sounds, it's in fact incredibly comforting. Each component can easily be understood (less complexity) and making changes becomes far less stressful as your blast radius is tiny.

Developers spent the vast majority of their time not coding, instead figuring out how something works and how to make a change that doesn't break anything.
Unrelated to this article, but how effective is the Smallpox vax for this?
Time smearing is its own bucket of nightmares.
To me, the best case scenario is adding a dependency of medium size and complexity that you're confident you could write yourself. This means that if you run into problems, you can just shrug, and then ditch the library, but if it's ok then you save some time. What's terrifying is dependencies so large that you can't fathom the amount of effort required to make them. It also makes it much harder to tell if the library is actually any good. Luckily for your example of time libraries there's normally a "blessed" library for whatever ecosystem you're in. Tiny / super simple dependencies are a complete waste of time, if I can write it in < 1hr I would much prefer to do so.

IMO there's a lot to be said for writing your own version that does 60% of what some library does, but 100% of what you need it to do.
Just to clarify, exons are the portions of genes that code for protein sequence (they are expressed). Introns span the distance between exons and may contain regulatory or splicing information. Areas between genes are referred to as intergenic, and also may contain regulatory sequences that affect how genes are expressed.

Part of the issue with centromeric or telomeric sequence is that not only is it hard to sequence (being super repetitive), little is known about what a sequence variant in such an area might mean. It's kind of a chicken-and-egg issue: it doesn't get much attention because no one knows how to interpret variants there, and since no one knows how to interpret variants there it doesn't get much attention
How much of these articles pushing "metaverse" is paid-for shilling, and how much is real stuff? Has anyone actually used it? Is this actually a real thing?
California was terraformed to support logging and mining operations. Now it supports agriculture with a much smaller percentage supporting cities.
I think car oriented cities come with a lot of issues, but I don't think this is really a fair statement. Small towns can easily exist with <15min commutes and the city scalable version of this (which I hate, but does work) is basically a continuous field of suburbs dotted with occasional clumps of box stores stretching out into the horizon.
You got any source for that claim?
So they tell their population and the whole world that Taiwan is an inseparable part of China, and have been doing so since Nixon and Kissinger went to China, but the real reason is to break an attempted blockade?

OK, if that's what you want to believe. Seems kinda implausible, though.
Impressive.

At this price point they had to cut some features. I wonder if one of those features is "Safety" and another one is "The front won't fall off".

Yeah I'm a little surprised he regrets it. I guess he assumes that a freelancer would have done the same work since his takeaway says so. He may have indeed gotten "service normally reserved for large companies despite my limited budget".
Awesome puzzle. Great job!
Were there 23 lessons, or none? Seems like the author couldn't focus on what they "learned," which likely suggests the post is simply a way to increase their profile after what is largely considered a failure.

This article would have been way more valuable if distilled into a poignant lesson or insight about why Clubhouse failed.

I don't find Internet on flights a particular convenience and, if you can take showers at airline clubs, that's not a big deal either. And I've never taken advantage of in either case.
> Can I ask why you went for TW rather than dev? I ask because I almost used that as a cop-out once because I was overwhelmed by the technical interviews, etc. required for being a dev.

Because they're the one that gave me the offer. I don't have any particular preference or disdain for technical writing; it's entirely possible that my next job will be as a developer.

> Also, the last 2 years have been rough. Are you getting enough social connection?

I could stand to get out more, yes.
Of course. In terms of license increases then sure.

Extra bonus to tall buildings having enormous amounts of space: rent is cheaper, and as a result more businesses are viable!

There is a depressing "sameness" to American cities and their amenities that's oft remarked-upon but I remain convinced that the single biggest contributor to that is real estate. When real estate costs that much the level of business to break even is astronomical, and only businesses with the broadest possible (and correspondingly, blandest possible) reach survive.

The thing I love most about the Tokyo is the absolutely off-the-walls level of tiny businesses catering to incredibly niche interests. A great majority of these businesses would be totally unviable in the US - real estate in major cities is too expensive, and real estate outside the major cities have too small of a market.
It is possible, just not scalable. It is ready for a small city to be a car centric 15 minute city, but once population reaches the 6 digits problems start to arise, and ~500k is the rough upper limit where it becomes impossible.
Great game!

I humbly suggest that you flesh out the rules just a bit more. I struggled to figure out if pipes were allowed to run out of bounds, whether they all had to be connected into a single network, and the significance of the bulb-ended ones. I'm not totally dense and could make some guesses, but this still made the puzzle less than approachable for me at first. Basically I just guessed at these things, tried to see if I could solve one, and once I did and saw my complete solution all was clear. But why not state these things up front? Or maybe that's part of the puzzle? :-)

My first solve took 9min, then 3, then 1.5min for my third.
> I bet 100k today is roughly 50k in the year 2000.

Mean inflation from 2000-2021 (last year on record) was ~2.24%, including a 4.7% increase in 2021.[1]

$50k inflated at this rate would be approximately $80k.

I'm sure others are more qualified to discuss implications, but consider that while inflation erodes nominal purchasing power, it cannot account for effectively deflationary impacts of technology (for an example, see[2]). Of course, we cannot eat technology, at least not exactly; so we probably want to look at metrics related to how easy it is to live. It might be worth looking at cost per calorie, for example, or for commonly-available proxies (e.g., fast food prices).

> I was not referring to the ads (something not all magazines have) but to the content.

I too was referring to the content. Most magazine content is influenced by marketing teams.

> But my point is that in a world without ads, everybody would still learn about new products.

And my counterpoint is, I'm not so sure. When you launch a new product, how is anyone supposed to find out about it without marketing? Marketing isn't just ads -- it's also product placement, reaching out to buyers for stores, reaching out to vendors, magazine writers, and lots of other non-ad activities.
Haha wow, that's such an adorable car. It's unfortunate that that kind of vehicle won't ever make it to the US though.
One second every thousand years.
> glass has to come from DOT-registered glass factories, the backup camera has to come from DOT-registered backup camera factories, etc. It’s not enough to simply go 25 mph and have seat belts and blinkers... Even if the cars had all the necessary DOT parts, the factory that produces them in China also has to be registered with the NHTSA to allow the cars to be street legal in the US.

Some of this makes sense. Much of it doesn't, or could be vastly simplified for low-speed use cases.
Indeed, that said I wonder if SSD latency reduction saved enough power from non wasted cpu cycles.
At most half a second, in the middle of the smear at midnight when the leap second is applied.

The Facebook smear is asymmetrical so it starts off 1 second off just after the leap second, and subsequently corrects itself.

[ The reason Google and Amazon use a linear smear is because NTP clients try to measure the rate difference between their local clock and the reference clocks; if that is different every time the NTP client queries its servers, it will have trouble locking on and accurately matching the smear curve. You can mitigate this somewhat by fixing a higher NTP query frequency, but that’s a heavy-handed fix for an engineering mistake. ]

Russian Chess has, and always has been, a tool in their international politics. As is any sport on a national level.

The war has affected Russia's ability to participate in sports on the international level. The war has relevance to the discussion of sports, including chess, absolutely everywhere - except HackerNews, it seems.

>Also Russia has plenty of legitimacy, both before and after the Ukraine invasion

No pain in admitting it. It still has legitimacy (as did Nazi Germany up until it lost the war).

It should have none.
For those interested, the reason places charge high rates on some exchanges is to cover risk. Here [1] is USD versus INR - look over the past year.

Look at USD to CAN or GBP or EUR on the same site for comparison.

Another factor is liquidity in the markets allowing those doing exchanges to offload unbalanced books efficiently.

I am extremely suspicious of industrial products with chunks of stuff in them.

If these shavings are real truffles, they are most likely low grade ones with little aroma, the bulk of the flavor being artificial. It is essentially the same as the "plain" product with chunks added to make it look more authentic. Read the label. In most countries, labels are regulated, chunks of stuff are not (except for food safety).

Not for home gamers, no. ONT is fairly low throughput and the prep is surprisingly difficult to do well without experience. You would need to run tens of flow cells to get enough sequencing data.
Modern x86 processors decode multiple instructions per clock. By “slots”, I’m assuming he means entries in the dispatcher or reservation stations. But NOPs don’t even make it to there. As I said, the decoder that encounters it will probably swallow it and emit nothing.

Besides, it sounds like premature optimization. This isn’t the 1980s; An extra clock cycle per function call is not going to make or break your program.

Chicago can (and in some areas has - along with Boston) fixed that issue with pedestrian tunnels that allow easy movement during cold weather. A similar fix is available for southern cities but I think a more reasonable approach is just tighter pedestrian alleys that prevent full sun from ever bathing the walking surface (and reduce sun exposure to buildings) along with lots and lots of trees. Trees are seriously amazing and dissipating heat from the sun.

Once you eliminate the sun you just need to make sure that wind alleys are set up to keep air moving through the city and have regular green spaces with water to help reduce air temperature. This can be done quite sustainably - Las Vegas is actually a great example of (rather) sustainable water use from a city built in the middle of a desert.

It's not clear what you mean by that. It is easy to build a city where you can reach everything you need within 15 minutes by car. What is hard is to build a city like that where you can also reach everything you need by foot within 15 minutes. I don't think it is as impossible as some urbanists make it though.

The downtown in my city is by far the most dense and walkable area of town while still being far more accommodating for car drivers than any of the areas that have been newly revitalized for walkability. The main difference is the existence of ample parking shelters where the main (st)roads hit downtown, unlike the new areas that insist on only having street parking to intentionally limit the number of cars. Both approaches allow the area to be designed for walkability first. But the former does a better job at accommodating people who don't live within 15-minutes by walking or public transit, and does a better job at keeping cars from being a nuisance. Because the motorists have a convenient place to park and walk they do so, while street parking only forces the cars into the walkable streets(and surrounding neighborhoods) to circle endlessly looking for a place to park and increasing congestion.

I really like the strong-towns framing of delineating roads vs streets which are designed for cars and pedestrians respectively. I think too many people are quick to jump on the assumption that roads==bad and streets==good, when having good roads and parking structures can relieve the pressure and allow your streets to be streets. At least in the short-term, and in the long-term you are going to want to keeps some sort of arterial land strips for public transit use (in all but the most dense areas which can support subways). So making them roads now with a mix of buses and cars that gradually becomes more buses, and then possibly dedicated public transit makes for a good growth plan.
Does anybody here know how many devs/man-hours are assigned to what on the Windows OS?
As with Twitter & Google, I believe that Microsoft spends exponentially more on implementing data collection, organisation & analysis, (i.e. monetising everything you do), than on actual user-facing features.

Hence the notable lack of functionality/features with the big-tech companies, (given the sheer amount of dev-hours consumed), because they spent at-least 100 hours designing and implementing the storage & analysis systems for the new data points a new feature creates).
I rarely use my car's self-parking feature, largely because it forces me to pull forward way too far before it will take over.

But I've started activating the self-parking mode while I park manually, since it forces the backup camera to be turned on at all times. Otherwise it's only on when I'm in reverse.
What does "fault" have to do with it?

As OP said clearly: a lot of the issues people have with "marketing" are actually issues with "advertising". I wholly agree (as someone who actively avoids ads).

There are marketers who believe their only tool is advertising. There are also technologists who believe that ads are all marketing is. Both of these groups are leaving opportunities on the table. That isn't anyone's fault, it just means these people are missing their chances.

What would even be the consequences if Russia were to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine? Maybe a lot, or maybe absolutely none depending how they are used. If they are used in a Nagasaki capacity then yeah, that would lead to repercussions, but you can do that with conventional arms too. See what the allies did to Dresden for instance, or the firebombing of Tokyo. The issue is not the weaponry, but the act of threatening civilians versus strictly military targets. If Russia used nuclear weaponry as they currently use their conventional missile weaponry in ukraine I'm not sure the international community would care more than they currently care about the war, in a world where the political taboo of using nukes did not exist.
