Software Engineer was already a questionable job title 20 years ago. Now it is even more questionable.

Nothing against immersion bootcamps, but just because someone learned basics of a language and completed a few web pages or some microservices doesn’t mean they are equivalent to someone with a CS degree and years of experience developing side projects while in high school and college, which meets the profile of many CS grads.
You could flip the perspective and look at it as helping out the winner.

Still for most people, their biggest return is being able to day dream for 5 minutes what it would be like to win.
The other issue is that search makes A LOT of money. Even if they find oil, it’s such a small amount compared to search that it doesn’t seem to move the needle internally.

If you look at the opportunity cost of supporting a small side business va building a bigger business.. you drop the small thing. Google engineering is expensive and they have a somewhat polished brand that they don’t want to muddle with a bunch of “non winners”.

Amazon has the opposite problem. They build everything and have to find a way to scale their internal orgs to handle lots of tiny side revenue streams. I signed up for a magazine subscription through Amazon and they had a website redesign that accidentally (?) removed the management portal link for a few weeks. They do so much they can’t even stay internally consistent.
> Yes, apparently it's planned but it boggles my mind that they waited so much before building it.

Basically because there are only 2-3 places you can practically cross the mountains surrounding LA (Tehachapi Tejon, and the coast), and 3-4 places you can do the same for the SFBA. All of them are already occupied by existing rail or roads.

Those mountain crossings cost more that the rest of the system combined.

> get in the train 10 minutes before departure without check-in or security, no waiting 15 minutes on the tarmac before disembarking... I guarantee you the door-to-door time is going to be lower.

I wish, but you're wrong and it's not even close. (SFO, OAK or SJC) to (LAX, BUR, LGB or ONT) is about 45 minutes gate to gate. Add 5 minutes for security[], 25 minutes boarding, 15 minutes deplaning and you're at 1h30 curb to curb (vs. the almost 3 hours station to station that CAHSR claims* they will provide when finished).

The plane is faster even accounting for travel time to and from the station or airport. The contrast is especially stark if your destination is not downtown LA.

[*] TSA with PreCheck has gotten really fast in the past couple years. They no longer scan your boarding pass (just your ID + a database of the day's travelers). You don't need to unpack your bag, remove your shoes, nor remove your jacket. On a dozen trips in the past year, security has never taken me more than 5 minutes. It takes almost as long to walk through the maze of ropes forming the queue as the actual security procedure itself.
The system is out of whack. Price stability needs to happen. If you only look at the issue from how easy of a time does labor have getting a job, then sure. Going from stupidly fantastic to great is worse.

The world is more complex and these workers are all seeing the economic value of their labor shrink even as they earn more money. The economy needs some semblance of balance. They'll feel better off if potatoes don't cost twice as much next year.
1) Apply a discount on notability for people based on how near their birthdate is to now. If Hammurabi and Jordan Peterson have the same score, Hammurabi should win by far.

2) Use an additional book corpus. Someone mentioned in books from 1500, 1800 and 2022 should score higher than someone popular in only one era.
Vercel makes app deployment a first-class citizen that's baked into the CDN. Fastly doesn't offer a Vercel/Netlify deploy feature, and AWS requires considerably more work to setup but can easily replicate.
The father of my (still) best friend bought a Sinclair ZX81 in 1982.

After observing his attempts to get "the thing" to do whatever he had in mind I started asking questions. He soon lost his patience and handed me the BASIC manual. It took me a couple of hours to get the formatting & meaning and then it happened. Like what some people describe as love at first sight, I lost all interest in everything and everybody I had cared about, JUST wanting to spend time and dedicate my adolescent brain to coding.

40 Years later, while spending my whole working live at a desk, I've seen many colleagues with back, neck, shoulder & arm problems. I never had any issues. That was the moment I knew I was build for this work.
> The nature of ground (or surface naval) warfare will be profoundly changed. This is to bullets and shells what bullets and shells were to pikes.

They said this about torpedo boats, submarines, tanks, and guided munitions among others. It will require countermeasures and changes in tactics but I doubt much will change. Since these systems are cheap and slow everyone else will have them too and they will be easy to shoot down.
Santa Monica is... Sean Penn? Who made this?
With A/B tests, the only decisions you can make are among alternatives that are very close to the base alternative.

Generally, you can only generate data and do experiments based on your present state.
That's a very reasonable way to look at it.
Lasers are supposedly the next big close range drone killers, less than $100 per shot, and infinite rounds (as long as you have fuel obviously).
A pity that so much language-agnostic material we'll never see because search engines and algorithms are so effective at this segregation. Translation is good enough for browsing in completely unknown languages for internet exploration fun, but only one at a time -- still waiting for a practical multilingual search engine.

> Vercel is easy to use and comes with batteries

On our team, we deploy our web app through Vercel primarily because of this (maybe there is some hype factor bias in there too?..). Everything else we rely on runs on AWS. We don't necessarily need Vercel for any of the edge computing or serverless environments, but the experience of building, previewing, and deploying our app is FAR superior to AWS's Amplify offering because it just works.

Trialing Amplify for a few weeks led to a world of hurt, leftover build artifacts in our accounts, failed builds left and right, unreliable preview environments, etc.
The current conflict hasn't seen the best employment of loitering munitions, from both sides actually. Maybe as a function of the current paradigm (artillery duel), the low yield explosive of the S 300 fielded, or lack of experienced fixed wing drone operators, in comparison with multi-rotor drones, which are retrievable with much longer flight times.

Tube launched loitering munitions are the future nonetheless and will replace the mortar and multi rotor drones, once all the issues have been figured out.

I don't think that is true. Or applies the way you mention.

If you call in a tip that someone is being murdered and the police catch them in the act, they have no right to confront the tipster.
You spent a lot of words attacking strawmen rather that just addressing the question. If you are as deeply concerned about National Debt as you claim, are you fully bought into the idea that we need smaller, more efficient government?

Because otherwise I can answer the same way you did and say that my experience is the people who complain the most about us burdening future generations with debt are the same ones demanding expensive far-reaching government programs for everything under the sun.
> And both take an aesthetic preference and characterize it as something sinister and dangerous for society.

Even taking this at face value, nothing about these pickups being an aesthetic choice negates their impact on their surroundings. If anything, the ever-expanding grills are primarily aesthetically driven and increase a truck's danger to pedestrians. Preferences being aesthetic don't preclude them from critique, and aesthetic preferences don't occur in a vacuum.

> As @some_random observes, it’s entirely fair to ask whether there is a real danger here, or whether the article reflects the “cultural distaste” of the author. The Bloomberg article I cited is another example in the same genre.

If your counterargument requires questioning motive of the author rather than the substance of the piece then I think you've already lost.
Graphql slows you down and enforces types. Both can be good or bad.

I suspect that front-end people like it because it requires less thinking on their part. A GraphQL call can replace a bunch of REST calls, and they don't have to deal with error handling and networking which in the front-end can be really difficult. Pushing that to the back-end makes their lives easier.

I've found that on the back-end GraphQL is more work than REST, because there's a bunch of extra crap you have to do to essentially do the same thing as REST.

And there's a bunch of stuff that's deliberately undefined, like "what do you do if there's a partial failure of your calls?"

> go back 2 minutes in time.

Honestly this is single-handed my favorite thing about vim.

Not the ability to fluently traverse through text (and apparently time).

But that you can use it for a almost decade, and still have a stranger on the internet blow your mind with simple features you didn't know existed.
There's so many of those one-off commands that are so useful, yet you've somehow never heard of them?
Without Javascript they are unknown to the browser. So the browsers fallback to treating them like a block element (so, a div).

It's not because custom elements "work without Javascript". It's because browsers are trying to work even in the presence of errors and invalid/unknown markup.

Javascript is required for custom elements.
> I think it's objective fact that Europeans have been quite resilient themselves, being as how they managed to settle most of the planet.

I am sure you would notice the difference of resilience pointed out by the article in comparison to the European world wide "settling" resilience.
doesn't this assume that trains constantly leave the station?

In reality there is a train e.g. every hour or so, or even none at the same day
Whether universal laws are self evident, random or intelligently designed is irrelevant to the discussion at hand though. The laws are there. It is through these laws that life arose. We have a procedural generation algorithm and a seed.

Even if you claim there is a single god that created both of these things, backwards deriving the seed necessary to generate the current state, it still routes through this physical process which is describable with physics and could be extrapolated to other starting conditions or future scenarios that humans can utilize.

It makes no difference.

Also, reading the privacy policy, it looks lacking. I'm not a lawyer, but https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/what-to-include-in-y... clearly states that if your service sends text messages, you should make a statement about retaining that data indefinitely.

It's easy to add errors for dialects by calling #unsupported when a function is used.

In terms of versioning of engines, I haven't implemented that yet, but presumably it could be done by adding a dialect subclass and having versioning route to it, so we could do something like parse(sql, dialect="spark", version=...) which could then route to a 2.3 version of spark.

Happy to chat more about this and we can see about adding it (or feel free to make a pr). You can DM me on twitter or some other avenue as well if you want to dive in deep.

AS AN ASIDE; When I was a young'n I had a lot of legos - but my granfather was a nuclear engineer with GE... (helped build Hanford)

There was a technical design/drafting book in his book case I picked up where I was around ~6 or so...

I drew every single diagram/ortho/iso whatever in that book. Multiple times.

When I got into middle school, I was opted to elect a highschool class, and I chose technical drafting...

When I went to class, the textbook was the same one from my grandfathers bookcase - I sailed through that, and then...

This was what got me into design and architecture and CAD... I then setup the first cad network in my highschool, while I was still in 7th grade.

I was in VOCAD by 9th, and came in second in the CAD Olympics in 1993 (I was the fastest ever to finish the test in 30 minutes, on a 3 hour deadline.)

THE ENTIRE POINT BEING ;

Get kids in front of technical design/docs/whatever is complex as EARLY as possible.

There is no loss in teaching a toddler calculus. They may wind up being a flamboyant broadway star, but at least they can maths.

Russia: We’re not leaving the Space Station until our own is ready
You might want to read up on the concept of priming, and how it's used in psychological & neurological research. You can markedly change people's behavior by bringing up (or avoiding) particular topics that our minds can connect with subsequent behavioral options.

The classic example is talking about disgusting topics before serving someone a meal... If you tell someone a story about a sewage plant worker falling into an open vat of raw human feces, and then later contracting a bunch of diseases because the fecal matter infiltrated their mouth, nose, eyes, and ears... The people hearing that story will eat less on average, and be more likely to refuse food outright, than a control group who heard a neutral story that removes the sewage and contamination elements.

Another example: People who hear a story about a war hero saving their comrades lives by sacrificing their own are subsequently more likely to offer to help random strangers with tasks like changing a flat tire, or carrying a heavy package.

And the behavior changes are mostly transient... The effect doesn't generally last beyond a few hours or days, unless the priming process is repeated.

So researchers can use priming to explore human motivations, and reveal connections that the subjects aren't even consciously aware of. It still depends on careful experimental design, because you never really know exactly why people are responding to the priming stimulus. But if you pick your stimuli carefully, you can usually eliminate alternative possibilities pretty well.
I believe the threat of legislation by itself may do the trick, without the need to actually get into the process. Do you remember how the ESRB was formed? There was a governmental push as a result of complaints about videogame content, with the government vowing to form a legislative solution unless the industry regulated itself.

As it turns out, they got together and came up with their own ratings system, and it was largely a success.

Again, my criteria for success is that digital content should not be arbitrarily removed from the purchaser. That's it. However we get there is an implementation detail. The hypothetical indie could shove the files on an S3 bucket and call it a day. The hypothetical multibillion-dollar mega corp could push an update to their console which redirects all download links to an absolutely basic file store of some kind that the console would work with.
Probably would not help the case in the article where the code enforcer, on his own, decided to just constantly go look for problems once he found an easy victim. The root problem seems to be spelled out in the article:

> One former city official with experience in Codes enforcement, who also asked not to be named, said the laws are vague enough that inspectors could easily find violations at every home in the city, including his own and those of other Codes inspectors.

When you have a law that is written such that everyone is breaking it, you can just send people out to harvest fines from anyone you don’t like.
Yeah this is super cool and has the benefit of being always on
wow, those Goruck GR1 are not cheap. What do you like most about it aside from durability?
> Evolution is not randomness.

Darwinian evolution in the narrow sense is duplication of life plus random variation plus filtering (that may also be random, but which at a minimum contains some bias which is, if not consistent over time, at least usually changes very slowly compared to the rate of random of variation.)

Darwinian evolution in the broad sense is the same thing, but without the “of life” part.

But abiogenesis is not Darwinian evolution in the narrow sense, and may or may not significantly involve Darwinian evolution in the broad sense, so arguing about what evolution is or is not in the context of the initial creation of life as opposed to the explosion of diversity of life after its initial creation is, at best, skipping steps.

Storage capacity is a part of the eXperience story.

Before Gmail's groundbreaking 1GB limit, you had offerings like 15mb or 100mb from yahoo or hotmail. What that meant for your day to day experience would be that you would literally run out of space and then have to manually comb through your inbox to delete things you don't want. And if you wanted stuff, you had to harshly prioritize between treasured message threads.

These are all part of the UX

I have arcade through their Apple One subscription and uh I think sometimes my family tries to buy a game and it’s free so that’s nice?

I've posited before on HN that Facebook is dying based on my observations as a long time user. A lot of people said I was wrong and it's strength is in it groups and marketplaces. I wouldn't know because I don't get a lot of satisfaction from groups and I don't use the marketplace, but people say that they serve as a small town gathering place in a lot of locations, sort like Craigslist was for awhile.

I don't see how introducing flashy short videos that produce a dopamine hit in the easily amused is going to grow Facebook
The resale value of the car, insurance (even if you don’t do pay per mile, insurance quotes are generally going to have some basis in miles driven per year), and maintenance are all directly correlated with miles driven. So, while these are often treated as sunk costs, that is due to improper accounting.

So, to reiterate, the cost of driving is much more than the cost of gas.

The early settlers, as they point out, also had a far more diverse diet than we do now. In fact, they (partly) ate passenger pigeons out of existence.

It seems to me that China still has this kind of diversity somehow. Going to a large Chinese supermarket is dizzying in the variety of vegetables, dried fungus, seaweed, spices, etc. on display. I wish I knew more about it, and how they maintained that diverse food culture.
