Glad you liked it!

Not sure about "iteration". I mostly did a lot of experimenting.

If you have something like "let's add a helmet to this", then that's basically 5 minutes to a good result.

The whole process took a few hours if I remember correctly, with the main hurdle being to come up with the phrase for sensibly laid-out pictures (the circle background). It went quite quick from then on.
I don’t mean to be insensitive, but why would you compare emergency room visits with admission times for terminal cancer? They are, quite literally, the complete opposite ends of the spectrum.

I’m not saying it was illegal. All I’m saying is the people who paid for the bad bets (with their livelihoods) were not the same ones who made the bets in the first place.

Nice token gesture but that makes just as much sense as having a National sick day. What am I going to time when I get sick?
I would posit that is a sign that this field is still in its infancy. Nobody has really had that goldrush yet.

I think it’ll happen eventually.
Not to be nasty, but we used to call them mainframes. A mainframe is still a perfectly good solution if you need five nines of uptime, with transparent failover of pretty much every part of the machine, the absolute fastest single-thread performance and the most transaction throughput per million dollars in the market.

I would not advise anyone to run them as a single machine, however, but to have it partitioned into smaller slices (they call them LPARs) and host lots of VMs in there (you can oversubscribe like crazy on those machines).

Managing a single box is cheaper, even if you have a thousand little goldfish servers in there (remember: cattle, not pets) and this is something the article only touches lightly.
Are you trolling me?

I didn't say this is supposed to be the only way of getting power. You can put solar everywhere. Not just on roofs and you might have heard about wind. That's a thing too.
There is if you are an executive that is privy to non-public information.
You won’t see benefits if your sample only includes addicts! But some people’s drug habits are objectively not addiction. For example, someone who takes LSD 3 or 4 times a year, with months in between. It seems quite plausible to me that this could be beneficial to them whereas someone taking it say twice a week would see detrimental effects.
To clarify, I think stateless microservices are good. It's when you have too many DBs (and sometimes too many queues) that you run into problems.

A single instance of PostgreSQL is, in most situations, almost miraculously effective at coordinating concurrent and parallel state mutations. To me that's one of the most important characteristic of an RDBMS. Storing data is a simpler secondary problem. Managing concurrency is the hard problem that I need most help with from my DB and having a monolithic DB enables the coordination of everything else including stateless peripheral services without resulting in race conditions, conflicts or data corruption.

SQL is the most popular mostly functional language. This might be because managing persistent state and keeping data organized and low entropy, is where you get the most benefit from using a functional approach that doesn't add more state. This adds to the effectiveness of using a single transactional DB.

I must admit that even distributed DBs, like Cockroach and Yugabyte have recognized this and use the PostgreSQL syntax and protocol. This is good though, it means that if you really need to scale beyond PostgreSQL, you have PostgreSQL compatible options.

Anyone from OpenAI here? My account was suddenly deactivated, which was unexpected and tragic. No tech in a long time has brought me this much joy. I've tried reaching out to support with no luck for a while.
Someone needs to tell Meta's recruiters that there's a hiring freeze because they keep contacting me about open positions. While they're specialist positions, they're not extremely niche so it seems if there's a freeze, it's not a very cold one.
I have the exact same symptoms you described, holy shit I'm scared. But I already know it's also a genetic issue because my father has this kind of genetic issue...
Unfortunately 1) Isn’t ubiquitous. In Canada it costs me $2.50 locally, arrives in hours, clears in days. It also only works for Canadian recipients. And wires (which I also send regularly) cost $75 and require me to be there in person. Not to mention the amount of information I have to extract from the recipient.

So when I use crypto I have a product that when compared to the current methods is faster, easier, cheaper with no transaction size or geography restrictions.

2) a centralized company taking deposits is not the same as a smart contract.
I highly recommend Dr Tung's smart floss. The floss is made of polyester fibers, and it is coated with either beeswax or plant wax and activated charcoal. The packaging is all recyclable or compostable. Most importantly, PTFE and PFAS free.

2 years in, but same. Made especially beginner friendly with modern tooling [autocomplete, hover:documentation, Copilot]. Any advice/recommendations/resources for people in that weird transitory stage between ‘getting it’ but not quite Senior Enterprise Software Architect?
However, the input might stop.

Right now, the input to DALL-E is all human generated.

What will happen is that DALL-E will generate something "close enough" that gets used and promulgated, so now the input to DALL-E will become increasingly contaminated with output from DALL-E.

We're already starting to see this in search engines where you get clickbait that seems to be GPT-3 generated.

they removed the c-like for-loop in swift, which IMO is a wrong decision.

c for-loop is an example of "less is more", a single syntax to cover all cases.

their argument is that c for-loop is not "swifty" and not beginner friendly (I don't understand why the above is). But if one can't learn c for-loop within 5 minutes, perhaps the person is unsuitable for any programming activities.
Firefighting foams are typically made of PFAS.
> The blacklisted for a year thing sounds like the normal Google, “Try again in a year” messaging that happens whenever someone doesn’t get an offer for failing interviews. Again, don’t know if that is what happened, but it hardly constitutes anything nefarious.

To be clear, this is the "You are not permitted to apply for any positions at this company" messaging for people who pass interviews and fail to sign offers within 4 days.

>For Tenev to actually receive the full compensation, Robinhood stock would need to trade up to $300 per share over the next seven years, the company said in the filing.

It closed today at $9.23, so it's a fair guess that he's not getting anywhere near 800M value.
That's some strong copium you got there, can I have some of what you're smoking?

Ultimately the average person (who is likely the target audience anyway) won't notice anything wrong with most of those iterations and given that they're basically free in comparison would make me worried. I wouldn't be surprised if they manage to make it output svgs soon.
Well, you can take a guess by observing how the vainilla price spikes affected Madagascar in recent years.
Those still fall apart in liquid after a few minutes and the wax is made of petroleum. I’m not sure plastic straws were ever really a problem worth solving, given the trade offs.
The age of rationalization
In the US, public healthcare is delivered via emergency room. My friend's healthcare plan is to go to the ER and give them a fake name, which he developed after a fight that resulted in a head injury wherein he was unable to remember any details of his trip to the emergency room. He never got a bill, couldn't remember any details and wasn't sure what name he gave them, and it worked well enough that that's just what he does now. Quite a system the US has developed.
people gambling their stimulus money because they didn't need it to make ends meet

How did you quantify this statement?
More like gambling fraudulent PPP loans.
I think your strategy is making the fallacy that past performance is a guarantee of future performance. Using specifically picked events (e.g. 33% decline) and then assuming that the event not happening in the past makes it impossible to happen in the future.

Also how does TQQQ work. I don't know and I am happy to admit that. But I assume they need to do re-balancing shenanigans to keep the leverage at 3x, they have to pay interest on the leveraged money, and so on. So it is possible that the market takes a milder dip than 33% but you get stung on TQQQ - maybe not a wipeout but severely down and takes years to get back to break-even. Would like to hear from someone with knowledge of this.

If you have a long term alpha strategy - one that can beat the market every time - and it is as simple as buying an off the shelf instrument and topping it up. I would be surprised.
Yes! This is exactly the premise of Jeff's essay [1] that I mentioned in comments below.

This gets messy fast when there is an issue and even worse is that there isn't a published plan for how to deal with things when they do come up. Everyone is betting on it all executing perfectly and given the complexity and value at stake here, chances are that at some point now, or in the future, it won't go well.

I've used Swift since version 1 and stopped using it at 4-ish. Not surprised to see they're still finding ways to mess with people, and glad you could add to the list.

For the project I used to work on, we were dealing with strings a lot and decided one day to make our own strings (implemented basically as arrays of characters*) because even the patient guy on our team had lost patience with Apple's strings. Apple changed how strings work several times after that, and we were unaffected. I guess if the project were still around, the loops would've gotten it one day.

* 1 character to us = 1 extended grapheme cluster aka what a human would see as one character
So several times I've had the opportunity to join fast growing startups that offered quite a bit more compensation, and equity as well. One of the things that I always took consideration of was the stability of the company vs where I was at.

Many of these people made a bet that working for Robinhood would pay off, it didn't that is part of the risk that came with the SV salaries, and the stock. I get that it sucks, but it seems like it is part of the parcel that comes with joining a VC backed startup.

Do people really not consider company stability and long term projections when choosing where to work?
Uh, so does every terminal in macOS really, including the one that comes with it... It's the benefit of having both a CTRL key and a COMMAND key. Doesn't need 23m in funding either!

One benefit of the Mac's history is that when macOS moved to UNIX is that its existing copy and paste shortcuts never used the CTRL key to begin with, meaning copy and paste work just great in a terminal with the same keys.
> Lowering our total energy output means lowering humanity's average life expectancy

This is totally illogical -> oversized cars and consumption of meat are the biggest consumers of energy, and they only cause death. They serve no practical purpose society wide.
I think AVR is a good architecture to learn on, because the devices are far simpler than ARM or other more modern chips. The main concept to master as an embedded developer is operating a device by its registers. The common arduino device, ATMEGA328, has a total of 84 registers across all peripherals. A simple program to blink the LED is less than 10 lines total. The datasheet is tiny compared to most ARM devices, but is still a complete source of information.

There are lots of libraries online that demonstrate how to set up registers for various peripherals. Avrgcc is an open source toolchain, and avrdude can program devices running the arduino bootloader.
That’s actually a fair theory but I doubt they really know when the hiring freeze will be over. On the other hand, when can any business really predict the future flawlessly? Never. But they could include a line addressing the risk.
Yes, I am contrasting Red Wings's use by professionals to copies-of-copies. The professional use stops the degeneration of the design. If Red Wing had faded into oblivion, outcompeted by Chinese clones catering purely to fast fashion etc, you would start seeing pathologies evolve, like cancer or drawings of elephants by generations of artists who'd never seen elephants https://www.uliwestphal.de/elephas-anthropogenus/index.html . This provides a long-term rationale for Red Wing to prioritize professionals even if it comes at the cost of short-term profits, and it provides a reason for non-professionals to free-ride on the informed professional choice.

(To give a hypothetical boot example of what I mean: Red Wings have speedhooks, either by default or as options if you mail them in/go to a shop, because it can take quite a while to lace them up normally. But the clones might evolve speedhooks which didn't actually hold the laces or which were clamped shut around laces because at some point, someone didn't understand what the point of them was and made a change, and there was no pushback, because no one was actually shucking them on & off enough to care about speedhooks.)
That’s exactly the point of the post too. Sometimes business and open source align and other times they do not. Trino was created as the project and community the puts community and individuals that contribute as the owners.

To me, that history seems to indicate that the 9 month process is effective at making unwanted products. What am I missing?
Your main point was pretty off base.
That's simply not true. Policymakers may speak about NBER's findings, but there is no formal recognition of them in U.S. law.

They are private organization, they do not release their decision criteria publicly, and they were formed by random collection of academics that decided to start a club. They are entirely self-appointed.
Who will then fuck up the interview process and then return to complaining that there are no decent developers. There isn't a lack of them, there's a lack of being able to identify them.

I love PHP, it fits that niche of having a fast startup like Perl, while having a big standard library like Python. However after using Go and Rust, I don't like the idea of the package manager being this separate thing (Composer).

I think the package manager should be part of the PHP distribution itself, not some other thing that people have to find and install separately. I am fine if people want to implement other/better package managers, but I think the PHP distribution should include something, if only a rudimentary tool.
PHP has so many hidden benefits:

- it's stateless by design (much easier to scale)

- it was "serverless" before Serverless

- surprisingly performant

- no "unknown unknowns". it's so tried-and-true, there's no surprises

- deployment is so simple, just drop a file on a web server. No middleware needed.

- No long compile times because there is no compiling needed.

EDIT: why the downvotes? If you don't agree, just reply so we can have a healthy dialogue.

EDIT2: I also think there is something unique about PHP documentation. It has plenty of real life examples, and the ability for users to leave comments allows you to hear directly from others "gotchas" that people have experienced. I feel like PHP documentation is very undervalued.
DAE remember "how many tapes do I need to hold this much data"?
I agree, unions and legislation. The devil is in the details but those are the main instruments, if only we were more willing and motivated.

A Python library that enables rapid projects that interact with hardware
I think it is still in sort of a testing/early access phase. Discord only access is essentially a way of funneling everybody who wants to try it into their captured marketing venue without having to have one of those "give us your email" placeholder pages (also has a bonus "social" aspect where you're seeing what many of the other people who are using it are creating). The final product will presumably be more tailored and web-driven.

It's also an interesting way of balancing what I assume are high operational costs on the server-end by pawning off some of the hosting of assets onto Discord.
Now flip the story and you are the contractor and hit the first milestone. The customer however refuses to acknowledge that milestone and holds on to the funds demanding some extra work not in the original contract.

You are out the labor and materials with no payment and no recourse. It's not beautiful for the contractor why would he agree to this with no arbiter between the two of you. And as soon as you introduce an arbiter you are back to someone else enforcing the agreement not the blockchain. The blockchain adds nothing here that a standard court of arbitration doesn't.

> but France manages pretty well with 70% of energy coming from nuclear so it is an actually existing counterpoint.

How is that embarrassing state "pretty well"? They use dirty power from their neighbours to manage their support holes created through that narrow minded energy infrastructure. Just like every summer, they've been struggling due to too hot rivers and now those "cracks" in those reactors...France has shown that focusing on nuclear is sheer stupidity. Stupidity funded by the French taxpayer btw and it goes only downwards from here since their old fleet is not getting younger and everything they build takes too long and costs too much.

Thanks, this is surprisingly timely for me. I was looking for exactly this type of program because we will be moving into our new condo in around January.

You can also do something like that by using a vanilla ORM and/or batteries include web framework (which includes that) in any popular language of your choice (Spring, Rails, Django, etc).
