There are a lot of ways to take integrals though, so I wouldn't doubt your method could work. Generally though the holes in a lot of these integration methods is their inability to work with functions that are pathological:

How do you think of "best"? There are many senses:

(a) People that do well in a particular organizational context?

(b) People with a certain set of skills?

In the software industry, these do change pretty dramatically from time to time. For example, the FAANG style of interviews disrupted what came before. And of course, there is considerable variation between FAANG style hiring and others.

I bring all this up not just to be pedantic... (Is there anything wrong with being pedantic? We should do a proper study to find out, but I digress...) ... because I'm curious if and how the industry is changing.

Many software developers got comfortable with being in the driver's seat and being fawned over. This has changed a lot, it seems to me, in the last 3 to 6 months. Where does this leave us?

Pretty much anything produces toxic fumes if you get it hot enough. Air produces nitrogen dioxide, for example, water produces ozone, and table salt produces chlorine (and sodium vapor, of course, but that condenses before you have a chance to breathe it). Those fumes, which require temperatures far above cooking temperatures to form, aren't PTFE; they're a cocktail of nasty fluorocarbons which are bad for you too, just not immediately fatal the way they are for birds.

So "the most nontoxic" is pretty darn accurate. PTFE is substantially less toxic than air, water, table salt, cellulose, polypropylene, or pretty much anything else you're likely to put in your mouth.

The other person said that JS also doesn't include a package manager. It sounds like you wanted to take issue with the colloquial use of NPM rather than their point about package managers not being included.

Don't forget memory bandwidth. You may be able to shoehorn your data in a single machine's memory, but it may take a very long time to process all of it.

Sometimes sharding will yield better results. It will still take a long time to read through 64 TB of memory, even if you are just NOPing on it.

Ask HN: If an “event” happens around Taiwan, what happens to China trade?
Genuine question, and I am less interested in the nationalistic politics.

China and USA economies are intricately linked.

China relies very, very heavily on energy imports. And imports of raw materials to built its future roads, battle ships, cities, islands, etc.

I mean, if the massive (massive!) imports of coal and iron ore were to be limited, would that spell the end of the Xi era? And similarly, that would immediately damage other world economies. Not to mention all the imports the world lazily expects from China - the worlds industrial centre.

If some type of aggressive event did happen (from either side) around Taiwan, or the South China Sea, what happens to trade?

Is there actually any luxury here to end trade out of protest? Or is that just impossible?
Heck, I might stop ignoring 99% of the daily recruiting mail I get if that happened

> Then we burned it all down and became hermits in the woods.

Did the results of the calculations drive that decision?
I didn't do that. You put words into my mouth. I said the fabrication problem is easier to catch up on than the bootstrapping problem which is just obviously true. Chips are fabricated all over the world. TSMC obviously is an incredible company and has difficult challenges but the difference between them and other foundries is mostly about scale. Scale is something that typically you can invest in and pretty quickly make measurable progress.

Bootstrapping a whole new lithographic process is not. That is something you would have to invest in for years with essentially nothing to show for it. That is a harder problem from a market standpoint and a political standpoint.

But we're not talking generally about chip fabrication here. We're talking about what is going on with the investments from the U.S. and Japan in next generation chip production. And the bottom line is the investment here is made relatively unrelated to "competing" with Taiwan as a global chip exporter. The most likely thing is that the technology invested here will be used in Taiwan to fabricate chips.

This isn't quite right. I can see how you reached the conclusion you did, but you're missing a lot of context.

For one, developing frontends at the scale and complexity needed for quickly growing organizations is just as complex as backend scaling in a variety of ways.

If you're a frontend expert and can operate in the way needed to support a rapidly growing business/product - you can make just as much if not more than backend engineers (500k+ easily at senior levels). This instinct around large-scale abstractions is not developed by building small sites over and over gain. This is just simply experience not everyone has because it requires context.

Also programming ability alone is not the sole reason for the outsized comp packages. In my view, it is at most 1/3rd of the reason. There are a lot of other qualities that are important that can only be gained through a specific kind of experience.
Of course he would deny it.
Okay you are right, fair enough. But his equations are consistent with working over F2 (where we can then throw in additional simplifications) and treating multiplication as AND and addition as XOR, in a way that using an algebra of ∧ and ∨ is not.

When Boole writes "x xor y" as x(1 − y) + (1 − x)y = 1 ⟺ x − 2xy + y = 1 (p. 53, eq. 31), we can simplify by 2 = 0 and write x + y = 1, treating + here to mean exclusive or.
"over the asking price" is a useless metric, might be more interesting to elevate $/sqft.

You can see the image arrangement code in the source of the article - it's just rawhtml with inline css. A very ugly approach, but it works.

For the images, I just changed the download directory of my browser for the time I was writing the article so that it put the images into the right folder automatically.

Good luck with the article!

I wrote this summary of what emissions sources matter if you want to move the needle, and how reputable sources argue for resolving them: https://climate.davis-hansson.com/p/big-picture-2020/

I used that as a basis to look for roles that - I imagined - actually would help make a dent. In the end, I took a job in the smart electric grid space, writing code to help the EU grid take on more cheap renewable generators at Tibber.

There’s a lot of software in many of these spaces! Decarbonising the grid, electrifying transport, building heat and industry, reducing agricultural emissions and so on.

> Probably the least common voltage in Canada. We’ll have some 347V though.

Yeah, if you don’t have 480V, extremely unlikely you’ll have 277V. 347V has comparable issues to what I was referring to with 277. 480/600 aren’t voltage you’ll normally find wire nut’s in a jbox or behind say a light switch for example, but 277/347 you will. Unlike 120V though, if something were to cause it to arc (or worse, electrocute you), you’re going to have a very bad day! Not tagging off a circuit is always a bad idea, but especially when voltages are 250+.

Maybe it’s worth reiterating that the unions and legal frameworks didn’t just happen “because unions.” And unions weren’t always (never were) guiltless entities. It was always a fight. The past is full of incidents to be horrified and emboldened by learning.

Edit-there have been long periods where seemingly nothing can possibly change. Then enough backlash is raised against another side (even the status quo) and things change.

I agree you'd probably need more than a 4-euro VPS. Indeed, I said in my comment that my 8-core laptop wouldn't be enough; you'd need 2-5 of them, unless you were running more efficient web server software than that hack I wrote one weekend in under 1000 lines of code.

It's worth noting that the once-widely-used MSN Messenger protocol (MSNP) was just a slight step up in complexity in its early revisions, and even resulted in an IETF draft: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-movva-msn-messen...

Up until the late 2000s there were plenty of thirdparty clients in use and they could all interoperate reasonably well, although MS started turning later versions of the protocol towards a bloated XML-filled mess.

If the CEO is ultimately responsible for nothing, why are they paid so exorbitantly?

Not true that there's no replacement for a founder CEO. Creating a company and growing it to viability is a much different skillset than running a company of a given size. Many startups have actually eventually suffered because they didn't transition.

"It's a currency used to pay for goods and services. "

No. They're magic trading cards.

Saying 'Crypto Is Currency' is saying 'Baseball Cards are Currency - just nobody uses it them as currency, yet!'.

Crypto is neither a very good store of value and it's not a currency.

I possibly could be both (different variations) but likely not better than regular money in most cases.

"I think cryptocurrency is a massive boon for humanity"

Where are these 'boon' things?

Buying 'generics' on the Black market - basically evading the law is a good thing? What about 'hiring hit men'? Maybe it would be better to just have the laws changed. I don't see where Crypto provides the 'boon'.

"Government regulations spurred on by the regulatory capture and oligarchy designed to squash the little guy are the a huge problem. "

Yeah, not with currency though.

Like you say - currency and investment are different things.

If you don't like USDs, then just don't hold onto a lot of them.

It's a great currency, just not a very good store of value.

Crypto hasn't yet demonstrated it's benefits, and a lot of the terrible things about Crypto are still on going.

Net negative, so far. That could change.
For one thing, as another comment mentioned, he didn’t actually get $800M because that was contingent on hitting various price targets that didn’t happen.

For another, it’s not like it’s just cash sitting in a checking account. It would be stock in the company. Since he’s a CEO, he can’t just sell it whenever he wants, insider trader rules mean there’s only certain windows when he could buy or sell, and the CEO selling off that much of his holding would raise all sorts of questions among investors.

If he did it as a personal gift to each employee, there’d be enormous gift taxes that would eat most of it.

If he did it as part of their compensation, it would be coming from the company, not him, and he would have to justify to the board of directors and shareholders why he’s spending so much on a lavish severance package that is far beyond the industry norm (assuming they aren’t already getting generous severance packages)

It’s not as simple as “Oh rich people could just fix every problem by giving away all their money, but they’re just greedy jerks”

Author here, thank you for reading the article and taking the time to comment.

Every legacy codebase I have worked with was actually a successful business. That probably plays a big role in why I enjoy working with them. The job is not easy, and in one case (800kLOC of PHP without a single function), I had to rewrite everything from scratch.

Legacy JS with its strata upon strata of framework du jour and jquery and porous language are indeed notoriously annoying. To be fair, I just isolate the legacy JS to its own little DOM sections, and then introduce a new framework in parallel until I can nuke the old code out.

Revamping a legacy JS codebase often comes with a design revamp as well, so it often becomes a matter of strangling [1] out the old API. I do really enjoy how typescript allows me to gradually introduce typing and leverage static analysis for more adventurous refactoring.

I use golang, rust and typescript as my daily drivers lately, but I must admit that my most horrendous legacy codebase experience was a tiny 20kLOC go program that was just a mess of concurrency nonsense. PHP codebases have a certain "flatten it out and don't be clever" style to them that make for easy strangling [1]. Highly abstracted codebases where the abstraction doesn't fit the use case anymore, or the abstraction was thoroughly eroded by generations of misinformed developers are much trickier.

What language I would use to greenfield a new application would depend highly on the experience of the team, but my usual approach is "whatever we are already using".

> When you use a mutable data structure, and your code is concurrent, you'll force the CPU to put locks everywhere in your code so that several cores won't see stale data in their internal caches.

Do you mean to say the compiler will insert locks? As far as I'm aware, on AMD64/Intel64, the processor won't lock the bus for ordinary loads and stores unless an instruction has the lock prefix. The processor is otherwise perfectly happy to let different cores observe loads and stores to different addresses in different orders (except for stores being reordered past each other).

> Even when you aren't writing concurrent code, mutability will prevent the CPU from using its internal concurrency to execute it faster.

For an out-of-order superscalar machine, mutability has nothing to do with it; register renaming takes care of that. The things to watch out for are tight dependencies chains.

If you're referring to loads and stores, store-forwarding and coalescing can spare you from having to hit the cache repeatedly for reads and writes to the same location.
> Let me rent real servers, but expose it in a "serverless" "cloud-like" way, so I don't have to upgrade the OS and all that kind of stuff.

I think you're describing platform-as-a-service? It does exist, but it didn't eat cloud's lunch, rather the opposite I expect.

It's hard to sell a different service when most technical people in medium-big companies are at the mercy of non-technical people who just want things to be as normal as possible. I recently encountered this problem where even using Kubernetes wasn't enough, we had to use one of the big three, even though even sustained outages wouldn't be very harmful to our business model. What can I say, boss want cloud.

Mathematicians, doubtful. Someone must do some verification of the AI results.

Programmers, also doubtful. You still need to design some APIs and interact with them. Interacting with an AI using natural language might become possible, but it definitely won’t be as efficient as more structured languages. (E.g., writing an algorithm in actual code is often much easier than teaching it to a human.)
