Oh? Like a story about all the various cryptocurrency scams that cost so many people their life savings?

Or a story about the massive overuse of energy causing brownouts for unfortunate towns that happen to be too close to a mining datacenter?

Or a story about the bright-eyed college graduates sucke(re)d into working for cryptocurrency startups that then either quickly go belly-up or gradually become more and more obviously scams?

Hmm, yeah, this is a bit different, and probably a bit better for Huffman codes (though worse for my x86 use-case, where it's beneficial to know which parts of the subsequent streams are valid before decoding of the preceding stream completes) - I'll hopefully try it out in 16 years.

The difficulty with tech blogging in general, is that even the best produce at most one genuinely great, authentic piece per year.

So, if you want to be posting regularly, there is no choice but to recycle other people's insights, or produce less well-researched pieces, or to just repeat yourself a lot.
Lol a new Atari was $200 in 1982 dollars, so if it could be serviced it'd probably be worth it then. The cheapo $50 ones didn't come out until '86 or '87 I think.
Somebody should do an API to enforce a certain ratio. Should be trivial with OpenAI et al.
Hmmm. For whatever reason, that's not true for my camera.

The jpeg has dimensions 4592x3448 and a light amount of exif, and comes with a paired rw2 file which has dimensions 160x128 and only contains an embedded jpeg thumbnail of that smaller dimension and a rich amount of exif. The jpeg is 6.31MB on disk, whereas the rw2 is only 1.76MB on disk (clearly not an uncompressed TIFF + metadata). The photos were taken by a Lumix GX1 between 2012 and 2017. Looking through the hundreds of directories of images, that pattern is clear that the jpeg is 4x the paired rw2 on disk.

I can no longer use the official Lumix codec as it is no longer supported ( https://av.jpn.support.panasonic.com/support/global/cs/dsc/d... only installs on Windows 7 and below), and DX Photolab doesn't know what to do with it. FastStone Image Viewer reports the smaller file size, and reveals some of the exif (interestingly the values in the rw2 are more accurate, the values in the jpeg are rounded). The Adobe DNG converter produces a 160x128 jpeg from the rw2.

The things I read only agree with you, the files on disk do not.

He mentioned in the article that Kubernetes didn’t have a Linus Tovalds to oversee the project. I found a similar thing to be true with git, as often scaling isn’t so much a technical challenge at first, rather it’s a bunch of org challenges that manifest themselves in technical ways.

The model of the “benevolent dictator” kinda works in this case. My last project I was on we managed to scale to about 50k LOC without anything special, the key is I knew the repo like the back of my hand and could catch potential integration issues. While the model works well, it’s very hard to setup as you need a real nerd of a team lead to constantly watch the repo.
In DayJob we produce web based applications, as do friends in other companies. One common refrain when commenting on the heavy payload for the applications is that they are not targetting mobile phones (good job, the apps are not terrible useable on a small display) and the clients won't care (which is actually true, for the most part at least).

Some don't seem to realise that tethering to the mobile network is a thing when something is amiss with the local network's connection to the outside world (more common now than it used to be, with more people working remotely) or trying to get stuff done while travelling - so users might have a decent sized screen & chunky processor but still be talking to us over a low-bandwidth & high-latencey link.

A lot of devs should spend more time with Chrom{ium|e}'s network throttling options turned on. It is far from perfect, but gives at least some insight into the troubles experienced by those with less than ideal connectivity. Perhaps I'll see if, next time I have my infrastructure hat on, there is a way to enforce that as a policy that can't be overridden!
Thanks for the additional context. However, this is the exact issue I was trying to point out:

> this post is from late 2020, when I planned to start a startup, and when I had no idea I would be successful with my writing - it was maybe a month or two after publishing my first book.

The title of the article implies that the content is advice for starting a successful startup for a software engineer. It literally uses the phrase “a startup”.

Then you read the content and it’s about marketing an ebook. The fact that this was written only a month or two after getting some sales of your ebook is exactly the problem I wanted to point out: There is always a kernel of wisdom or truth inside of Pragmatic Engineer content, but I’m usually left feeling like the headline was hyper-optimized for maximum clickbait value, but the content doesn’t quite deliver what the headline promised.

In this specific example, I click because I wanted to read an article about starting a startup as a software engineer. Instead, I got basically a 1-2 month retrospective on marketing an eBook on HN that doesn’t even explain why the book took off, other than perhaps luck. That’s the type of disconnect between headline and content that degrades the sense of trust very quickly.

You can not regulate away tech advancements.

Your competitors (researchers, companies, or countries - depending on granularity) certainly won't.
i think the idea would be the opposite, that none of the schools are granting any degrees, but that degrees are granted by a new independent government funded institution.

then you can go to MIT to study, take tests and pass courses, but to get the actual degree you have to go elsewhere.

the school can provide transcripts of the classes you attended and any projects and tests you did.

if the company cares they can look at that, or maybe they are satisfied with a proof that you were enrolled at MIT for 4 years.

for a company that wants MIT graduates, the only risk would be that someone paid for being at MIT but not actually study there. i don't know, maybe that's possible if you live in boston already and pay only for one class per term, but again, they could find out through the transcript.

isn't that exactly what happens with the bar exam? you can study wherever you want, but in order to work as a lawyer you have to pass a state bar exam. later when people are interested in a lawyers credentials, they don't ask where you passed the exam, but where you studied.
Ouch, so US towns and cities didn't always be hostile towards walking. My assumption that it's always been this way, was wrong.

But in a way that's worse because it means they used to have this privilege and it has been taken away, and cars-first has become the norm.

But the roads would have been used for something, at a guess, was it trams and horse carriages, and that these didn't pose much of a problem? I've been to towns with trams in the middle of roads and it's normal for people to just walk around it or near the tracks without problem. But I am a stupid tourist so I kept my distance.

This is a hilarious take. Your post is long but is essentially saying Europeans (but not right wing ones) more fully embrace "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". That you are more inclined towards the Judeo-Christian moral ideal than Americans. (Also strange as right wing parties have strong religious associations). Is your claim that Europeans have stronger/older ties to religion? Or that you are just better than Americans in some intangible manner.
All that will happen is humans start operating another abstraction layer up -- same thing as happened every previous time the machines have "taken our jobs".

Yes it's the serializable isolation level.

For applications targeting upstream SQLite, mvsqlite enables pessimistic locking by default - when a transaction is promoted to EXCLUSIVE, it acquires a one-minute lock lease from mvstore. At this point we have the chance to fail gracefully and return a "database is locked" error if multiple clients want to acquire lock on the same DB. This is a best-effort mechanism to prevent conflict on commit (which causes the process to abort).

A future feature is "MVCC-aware clients". Compatible clients can opt-in to full, optimistic MVCC, and avoid pessimistic locking. After `COMMIT`, the client should call a SQLite custom function provided by mvsqlite to check whether the commit actually succeeds, and retry if not.

Basically you have some CPU cycles in the "horizontal blank" part of each line that you can use to change chip registers for that line.

The TIA had some delay bits/latches so you could write player 1 data and player 2 data on alternate lines, but with one delayed so they'd appear on the same line.

Your actual game code was expected to run in VBLANK.

You can of course alter registers while the line is being drawn, if your timing is precise and your data is prepared, and that's the basis of doing advanced things like 6 digit scores and non-symmetrical playfields.
If I had to bet, they have those systems but they are a pain to use. If I had to speculate, it would be a lot like those citation search sites you used in College, they simply didn’t have the usability of Google. You had to enter search terms very specifically, whereas with Google you just search for what you want and Google figures out how to structure the query best to give you the results you want.

I can totally see a scenario where a clerk needs to look something up on a Friday afternoon, the though of pulling up the proper search catalog pains them so they shortcut, googling the thing they are looking for a reading the citations on Wikipedia. If I was a law clerk I would 100% do this.

Sure. BBC World Service wiki page describes some of the history/scandals [1]. For example, there has always been a MI5 office inside BBC headquarters. More in depth investigative journalism has been done by Aaron Maté, Max Blumenthal, et al.

Incidentally, I recently remembered about Rebecca Black and went looking to find out she did continue singing and now has a legit established pop career with tons of songs. I heard a few and became a big fan, they're pretty good if you like pop!

Oh yeah are definitely right there, I honestly don't know where the expectation came from because it makes perfect sense that it doesn't do that. Why would it. I think it was more me saying "would've been nice.".

I'm coming from homebrew + asdf, but so far Nix appears to be working fine for me. I think asdf has a lot of custom config to try and isolate version-specific shared files/modules etc. I can replicate it by setting some environment variables myself in nix shell file though. I've got my basic home manager setup (still need to migrate some manually managed files to nix config) and every project I work on is now running with their own shell.nix file. No huge problems yet, aside from the mentioned watchexec failing.

Not yet sure if I'll keep it in my regular workflow, it's been an interesting experience and I would be happy to not need homebrew anymore. (Might just try ports too). I'm also curious to see how fast new versions of software will be added/supported, so I'll have to at least keep this running until that happens.
I'm still not quite sure how that counts as breaking git?

If you misuse a tool, and the tool performs poorly at the job it's not designed for, but never fails in an unexpected way, and still maintains all the functionality it always had, how have you broken that tool?

If try to hammer in a nail with the butt of a screwdriver, and make a complete pigs ear of it, but the screwdriver absorbs the abuse and is still perfectly usable as a screwdriver afterwards, did I "break" the screwdriver?

Or, am I misunderstanding how the word "breaking" is being used here? Is there a meaning I'm not getting?

> Ouch, so US towns and cities didn't always be hostile towards walking. My assumption that it's always been this way, was wrong.

Couldn't have been since US cities (at least on the east coast) predate the very existence of cars.

> But in a way that's worse because it means they used to have this privilege and it has been taken away, and cars-first has become the norm.

Yep, the entire concept of jaywalking was invented for the convenience of car owners and the car industry, and pedestrians were alienated from the street surface.

> But the roads would have been used for something, at a guess, was it trams and horse carriages, and that these didn't pose much of a problem?

Much less so, horses would not trample people unless spooked (and they don't have anywhere near the acceleration or speed of a car, especially as mass increases). And streetcars generally keep to pretty low speed (bike range) in pedestrian areas.

You can see what it looks like in low-speed / pedestrian streets of europe, where streetcars are pretty common e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXrGbZ6LKzs

Explaining is not justifying.
Apparently, my use of the phrase "cheap land" was misleading. The acquisition price is one thing. But then you have site suitability, regional suitability, site access (running powerlines/roads), and construction labor availability. Any of these can drive up costs. Desert sands are soft and blow around, rocky hillsides are difficult to maneuver equipment on, forests have to be cleared, et cetera.
> The pictures in this case uses techniques and colors scheme widely used by illustrator in the entertainment industries.

"Widely used" seems to negate your point here, no? I would expect a machine to use widely used techniques, rather than ones specific to individual artists. I don't know about you, but I've never seen DALL-E replicate an art style that isn't popular enough to be common knowledge.

> Some of them are even above the average quality and that's scary too.

Is your suggestion to make systems like DALL-E worse? Or to forbid the creation of systems that exceed a certain measurable performance?

> Satoshi Nakomoto’s mission was to eliminate the Cantillon Effect and create truly neutral and fair money that is not dependent on any third party. Satoshi did not unfairly pre-mine any bitcoin to keep for himself.

But he did arrange for half of all Bitcoin to be emitted in the first four years, which practically guaranteed a huge slice for himself as few people had even heard of bitcoin.

Truly neutral and fair money would have a constant rate of emission, i.e. fixed block subsidy. That would still see yearly supply inflation rate go down towards zero, just much slower.

Recycling insight is one thing, but I was referring to the sense that a lot of the content feels like “reporting on reporting”. That is, an article telling me that The Information posted an article that said something.

> Why wouldn't it benefit? the idea would to be prevent giving a handout to the shareholders through unethical means. When you sign a contract with someone you are bound by the contract, for some reason you and most company executives are having trouble understanding that. They all (you) think, "if I can take someone else's money and run, then I should, my word and agreements be damned." That anathema to a civil society.

Can you explain to me how shareholder benefit from such a deal when the deal is preventing them from benefiting from it? Why would shareholders (the owners of the company) ever voluntarily take such a deal?

No one is saying agreements shouldn't be fulfilled, but I'd like to note that you still haven't explained why the company should ever take such a deal, when it does not benefit the shareholders (you know, the ones the company is supposed to be working for)

>Stock buybacks and executive bonuses are things you give out when the company is doing well -- through its own means, not when you get charity from the government because you screwed up for 30 years and failed to invest and innovate.

Why do you believe that's the case?

Stock buybacks (like dividends) are merely ways to put cash from the right pocket (the companies bank accounts) into the left pocket (the bank accounts of the shareholders), shareholders own the cash all the same.

There is nothing immoral or wrong about them.
Imo this hits the nail of the head:

> But fortunately I’ve found that just doing the thing that fulfills you the most also happens to be the fastest way to discover other people who will celebrate your ideas and hard work.

Even it those "other people" are only a "cohort" of 3 or 4 and not the metaphorical thousands, as long as those 3 or 4 persons are genuinely into what you're doing and, most importantly, they're doing/building most probably something similar to you (or following the same philosophy), then I find that that is very much worth it (i.e. "giving away" the attention of the multitudes for the "attention" of a few people from your particular domain).
Here's a tweet from PR where they admit as much: https://twitter.com/NYTimesPR/status/1140091848255578112?s=2...

"We described the article to the government before publication."

They use this as a defence; how can something be "treason" if it was literally approved by the government?

The NYT depends on government approval to publish some stories, including probably every international story. Not uncommon to have ex-FP/NatSec people in foreign editor roles.

It's easy to see why: if they don't work with the government, the government won't work with them and some other newsroom will get superior access.
