I often need to inspect/transform some JSON/CSV/text/whatever data, move around/organize a bunch files, and similar things. I find that notebooks work great for that as you don't need to set up an environment, you can easily collect and rerun your scripts if you do need them again, and the output options are great for debugging and looking at data.
SEPA Instant Credit Transfer [1] has a soft limit of 10 seconds and hard limit of 20 seconds for money transfers between accounts of different banks. What's the use case for "faster than 10 seconds"?

If you needed to play so much with words, then it will eventually become a specialized task killing any benefit of having the AI doing the work for you since we eventually we will need to resort to specialists to use the AI to get the result we expect.

On the bright side the result may be better, it may be easier to become and "AI usage specialist" than specializing in many different areas, the result may include many intermediate results that a specialist would find too much work to do and, with a bit a patience (like in the presented case), the task can still be done without the need of an "AI usage specialist".

Currently, I think the problem is an UI one. There should be an option to allow the user to do something like: "from the last drawing, just add this..." or "in the last drawing, change the color/size/style of this and that...". This would be probably enough to achieve what the author wanted in a much smaller number of iterations.

There is also on more thing: the costumer doesn't know exactly what he/she wants from the beginning. So, it is normal to have a few iterations until something pleasing is achieved.
At my university the first programming class that every CS major had to take was functional programming. Many people would come in with no experience and FP would be their first introduction to the field. It was a very controversial course among students due to its perceived usefulness (or lack thereof), but as someone who already was familiar with imperative languages I really enjoyed it.

It's hard to interpret those Navy blueberry uniforms as anything but pointless optics and possibly inter-service ego nonsense between the decision makers involved. A uniform that doesn't blend in with ships, docks, or beaches, but is actually a serious hindrance in a person overboard situation. Oh and it's about as fireproof as a grease soaked rag.

Thankfully rationality eventually prevailed, but not before wasting 100's of millions, a portion of which was out of pocket for sailors.

Until/unless faang salaries & hiring come back. This doesn't mean all fangs aren't paying. We just don't know.
If you provide the true reason specific to the person why you didn't hire them, and it's an actual job issue they can improve other than "wait until you're 30", that's one thing.

On the other hand, you said "I now stay away from hiring below 30s." You may have had all kinds of bad experiences after hiring younger folks, but none of those are the fault of the person sitting across the table from you when you interview the next person. You're stereotyping. It's ageism.
Ok I had a look at wiki and it's clear to me how the dual numbers encode differentiation and the theory behind how autodiff works. How do the two fit together? I didn't follow that part

> I'm sure they're others. But I think the key common thread is that all of them require censorship resistance. If what you're doing isn't likely to be censored by authorities then you're being incredibly wasteful by using blockchain

I don't think "censorship resistance" is the correct term. I think what you're really describing is "law enforcement resistance" (e.g. your activities are illegal).

And even in those cases, unless cryptocurrency is circulating as actual currency in the economy (which it isn't), most of the law-enforcement resistance is fatally compromised by the need for onramps and offramps.
So after all that saber rattling, they just end up writing a strongly worded letter. OK China- Pelosi called your bluff.
That's fair - I added "are working on a specific problem which needs a more complicated setup" to my original comment as a nicer way of referring to edge cases like search engines. I still believe that 99% of applications would function perfectly fine with a single primary DB.

My argument is empirical. I can name recent LPEs that bypass MAC and sandbox policies; it is not easy to name comparable hypervisor escapes. Shared-kernel container escapes are found so often they're not even all that memorable.

I don't think it's that simple. Google needs devs, it's a competitive market. Controlling or limiting the dev supply is definitely a benefit for big tech, but it's a separate benefit. I think competitive pressure on salaries is the top forcing function.
Can you help me understand what you mean here? The author manages to make something match `case NotIterable()` by...modifying the `NotIterable(ABC)` class. That's exactly what I would have expected. What you mean by "one doesn't need to touch ClassA, or any descendants of it, at all."?

After some point of the experience you don’t care about the labels game at all.

You’re just a software engineer. Period.

And you try to avoid those inexperienced hiring managers/teams who still play these silly naming games.
> We hear it from developers all the time, so let me repeat it: User error. It's a thing.

And as developers, we should do our best to prevent the user from being able to make those errors.
Because the developers of window managers and desktop environments are precisely the people that benefit from foregoing backwards compatibility and getting rid of all the duct tape and zip ties that hold the modern X stack together. It is true that a duct-taped thing can work very well after sufficient iterations, but you absolutely don't want to be maintaining it.

Funny, I think the obsession with dismantling capitalism is a religion. "First, we must dismantle capitalism" is the Communist equivalent of "first, you must renounce other gods and accept Jesus into your life".

You talk of imagination but you haven't even described your solution or why it would be better than the well studied economics concepts of free markets with carbon taxes.

Hmm, I'm not a regular LLVM committer myself, but I think there's a chance.

The history here has been several ports "for fun", so no one has tried to upstream anything. But if you have a real use case that could benefit from this, we should talk with the LLVM people and see. Feel free to file an issue and cc me and we'll find the right people.

Email: sparksjay (at) gmail

I'm a tech voyeur, culture investigator, and people person, with a liberal arts background. Two decades of bartending and bar-managing and running entrepreneurial endeavors up the flagpole over and over has taught me several things: 1) Market Inefficiency. Go where others don't and do what others won't. (Which led me to wondering why there aren't more posts like this in this thread?) 2) How to add value. Every bar has beer and whiskey so why should someone come spend money in your bar? Mainly because of the relationships they form there. But you always have to look at it from your potential customers' perspective and earn it. 3) The ability to tell awful jokes.

So, if you're here and you're hiring and 1 & 2 sound good/interesting/not-awful to your business, I'd love to chat. If 3 sounds good, well, I'm sorry. There's probably a local bartender near you ready to hone their craft.
…because the infrastructure is not meant to withstand extreme weather.

It’s unreasonable to expect a blizzard in southern Texas. It would be unreasonalbe to expect snow in Miami.

No country could deal with it. It’s not a US problem.
The ath9k purists will have their drivers fixed while the people relying on closed source drivers will be ignored as the company decided to stop maintaining the driver. How... ironic?
It sounds good but in practice it's a no win situation though. Going to war with current and/or former customers can make you look worse than saying nothing. Also, I don't know if I would put Trump and Musk up as model ways of responding to criticism vs just straight up using their money and power to bully those people away.
Immutability is an API not an implementation. Immutable code often outperforms mutable, it depends on the use case.
I think it's not just that "10% of the Top Million Sites are Dead" is a really good title, but that "Fun with DuckDB, curl, and the Majestic Million" is a really awful title. If they had gone with "Checking the top million sites with DuckDB and curl", they probably would have gotten at least some traction here on HN.

Breaking down the original title, I'd read it like:

- "Fun with...": just another on the pile of blog posts exploring some tech but not arriving at any interesting point

- "DuckDB": I've heard of it, not personally used it, there's a million and one DBs out there now so I'm not going to stop and look at everyone without a particular reason

- "curl": curl is boring, everyone knows curl (in the HN crowd at least)

- "and the Majestic Million": no recognition on first read, had to google it

So it's not surprising to me nobody initially clicked on what reads at first glance as "Boring blog about boring and boring", which is really a diservice to the post they actually wrote.
FYI, the infomercials with the strange tools fixing strange problems are usually focused on old or disabled people. Opening bag of chips with ridiculius tool sounds stupid, but it might help a stroke survivor or someone with one arm - but the sellers don't want to show those struggle on the screen to avoid humiliating people, so you see pefectly healthy looking young people spilling things like they have some neurodegenerative disorder or something. Because the target audience might.

Not saying infomercials people are angels, of course, but I wanted to sharethus somewhat nonobvious context.

(To stretch the metaphor, Airflow management system that gives everyone their own Airflow might be ridiculous but make sense for companies where cooperation is difficult :))

>Something as simple as "job A must run after job B and job C, but if it doesn't start by 2am, wake up team X. If it doesn't finish by 4am, wake up team Y" isn't Airflow's problem, it's your problem.

I guess that's one approach to job security. And why not make data egress manual too? Why transfer data through the network, when you can print them, mail the papers, and type them back in? Data input is not the computer's problem, it's your problem!

>Something as simple as "job A must run after job B and job C, but if it doesn't start by 2am, wake up team X. If it doesn't finish by 4am, wake up team Y" isn't Airflow's problem, it's your problem. "What's the overall trend for job D's finish time, what is the main reason for that?" isn't Airflow's problem, it's your problem. "What jobs are on the critical path for job E?" isn't Airflow's problem, it's your problem. "Job F failed for date T and then recursively restart everything that uses its results for date T" isn't Airflow's problem, it's your problem.

The whole idea of writing programs is making things automatable. That is, making them the computer's problem, not our problem. We get the higher level problem of writing the automation once, and fixing any bugs in our code, then we get to enjoy putting it to work for us...
I don't think that is a fair comparison. Monad is a typeclass so it would be like explaining some specific Java Interface (and all the context for Interfaces) to a 5 year old.

The Haskell (since you brought up Monads) equivalent to explaining Objects would be like explaining Records or Sum types, which would be very easy to explain and don't require talking about inheritance like Objects would.
I just got access today. Can’t wait to try it out.

We produce a lot of content and the biggest hurdle in graphic creation is the back and forth with the designer, plus the lag between writing, designing, and publishing. This would make it easy enough that the writer can include a prompt for the illustration right in the text itself.

More than the costs, I’m excited about the efficiency gains and smoother workflows.
It adds up surprisingly quickly when you have to do a TLS handshake, download many resources on pageload etc. The TLS handshake alone costs 3 round-trips over the network.
One of the bigger advantages of OOP that I rarely see discussed is the natural namespacing that you get. In other paradigms you end up polluting the global namespace more easily, harming autocompletion and discoverability.
Armed robbery too? Or are we talking unarmed thief digging a tunnel to the vault?
I thought the original comment was referring to all tech workers, ie not independently wealthy as the lower classes. But it's also true that below principal level at companies there is different treatment. Just like a cto gets treated better than the senior principal.
The org chart is hierarchical but large companies don’t run on the org chart in practice. Executives do need to sell their vision into the org, even their own direct reporting division. There are millions of ways for staff to subtly or not so subtly sabotage executive plans.

The ability to succeed at aligning and motivating staff is one of the big differentiators between an effective C-level leader and an over-promoted manager. An effective C leader does need public leadership skills similar to a politician’s.

-> We'd be better off...

I think it's not so simple. Flood plains are agriculturally very productive, close to a river it's near transportation and a source of fresh water. Famously, the 4 Cradles of Civilization developed along rivers. I dont think we can assume we can simply abandon the riparian zones and continue along for the better.
I don't know if you're being serious or not, but you can learn a ton of FP without having to understand monads. Also asking to explain "objects" is too ambiguous. an "object" in json is very simple. OOP on the other hand involves a mountain of different concepts, design patterns, best practices, etc. I would guess GP is referring to that stuff.
Usually it takes a few days for the thread to completely populate, so unless you're looking at the rate that it fills up I think it's too early to decide.
I'm familiar with the Taiwan Relations Act, which means I know that it provides absolutely no guarantee of military intervention. What exactly is the relevance of the Taiwan Relations Act to the question of whether the US has guaranteed military intervention if China invades Taiwan? You are citing an irrelevant current law, and a treaty that expired 40 years ago, which doesn't inspire much confidence in your subject matter expertise.

All Biden's statements prove is that he struggles to function without a teleprompter. The White House has repeatedly had to walk back his unscripted statements on Taiwan: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-walks-back-taiwan-com...

With respect to Ukraine, Ukraine hosted US and NATO training missions, did joint naval drills with NATO, and in December Biden was still promising Ukraine a path to NATO membership: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukrainian-president-zel...

As with Taiwan, with respect to Ukraine the US did not guarantee military intervention, but reserved the option to intervene and made statements to that effect. In recent months, they did clarify that they would not send US troops to intervene directly, but I expect we would see similar statements from the White House if China started preparing for an imminent invasion.
Anyone can learn to code, just like anyone can learn to write a decent essay. Not everyone can become a professional author.
The recent focus on adapting functional programming is a reaction from the shift to the dangerous quadrant of the immutable-mutable/unshared-shared "Magic Quadrant" chart.

Before multi-core, multi-threading, it didn't matter how or when you decided to update your local variables, they were YOUR local variables... unshared.

With threading, and multiple cores, we all just blindly moved right to the mutable/shared quadrant... the one in bright red... which effectively changes the laws of physics of your programs. Effectively every piece of code now runs in it's own time and space, and if you don't coordinate things correctly, it's like killing your own grandparents.

It took me a long time to understand why you'd want to refactor your code until everything was immutable[1], but now that I get the lesson, its something I won't forget.

Functional programming avoids mutable data, and thus, intentionally or not, works well in a world of shared data. Because pure functions have no side effects, they are timeless - they need no synchronization.

Spend a few nights watching everything Kevlin Henney has said in the last few years, and you'll have a much better handle on things.

You're going to be shocked at prices these days. Paying some poor soul from some poverty stricken developing country, and expect them to be grateful for just a job, is an archaic notion. In Latin America, the price is near US levels thanks to companies like Amazon heavily investing there these past 5 years or so. Salary at intermediate and above prices are nearly on par with US skill levels, but you do save on employment taxes so there's that.
The idea is that the "ruling class" in a patriarchy is men.
That is perfect! Just need it to be opened up a little so that places like Google can enable it as a Lyn optional primary login.
Sadly, this is true. As great as it is, bitcoin has many issues, in order:

1) The fact that Bitcoin mining traffic is detectable by ISPs (similar to torrents), so if a country prohibits it, the ISPs could simply detect that traffic trivially and get you arrested. Or simply block downloads of the client, etc

2) The centralization (or lack of democratization) of mining. A few huge pools, mining rig operations instead of individuals running software on their computers. SHA-256 ASICs and lack of blockchain pruning caused this.

3) The overreliance on exchanges - not your keys, not your coins etc

4) Every transaction is trackable, no real anonymity

5) The -even daily- value fluctuations

6) Hard to understand for layman people

That said even with all of these drawbacks people do use it in real life for its original intended purpose (remove the middleman), specifically in third world countries. But I think it would be great to go back to 2009 with all of the current knowledge and redesign these bits

I think that inevitably, it will be banned at some point in the future due to 1) and 2).
To buy a home in San Jose you need a salary of $330K versus $50K in Detroit. If you're working remotely, does four months of snow and a poor school system really explain all the difference?

I think you're exactly right. Cryptocurrency is built for a dystopian future where the people have access to stable, unmonitored internet (in other words, a contradictory situation that will almost certainly never exist). If the dystopian country retains the technical capacity for widespread internet, the dystopian government will have the ability to detect and crack down hard on cryptocurrency users (if they're worth the trouble). If the dystopian government lacks the ability to crack down like that, the dystopian country has almost certainly lost the technical capacity for widespread internet, making cryptocurrency moot. And in all cases, there are better alternatives to whatever problem cryptocurrency is meant to solve (e.g. gold bullion, US dollars), except in some very narrow cases.
From the examples I’ve seen, Dall-E is much better than the average designer or artist, but can’t really hold a candle to a talented human artist.
There's a lot of very useful and insightful information in this thread.

I'm just here to argue against the "hire someone to do it" suggestions. How your customers feel, especially as a small business, is too important to just hand over to someone else unless you trust them to give you the feedback, both good and bad.
Fans are inherently pretty inefficient. If you want to generate airflow across a surface, it's more energy efficient to move the surface than it is to move the air (assuming you have negligible non-fluid friction, which trains do). Motors can be over 90% efficient. With a fan, you have the efficiency of the motor and then, on top of that, the static efficiency of the fan, which is often less than 50%. We use fans when it's not practical to move the things we want to create airflow over (which is the vast majority of the time). Otherwise, we use the object's own motion. This is the principle behind ramjets.

I’ve had several bad trips in my life. I think they are the most impactful and clarifying. Uncomfortable for sure. Good trips let me know I’m comfortable with myself. Bad trips usually lead to uncovering or bringing to the front things that need to be addressed in my life.
