The greybeard in this case appears to be, not an employee, but an owner. Maybe he's acting as a consultant, or maybe he's supporting the product his company makes.

What about greybeards trying to interview for coding (not management) jobs at FANGMAN and others? In the US you don't include a photo with your resume or include your age like in some countries. But a graduation year in the last century and an employment history a mile long is a clue. What are the prospects?
Does Crypto Have Any Good Use Cases?
I was curious about this, so I looked at one source. The World Economic Forum's 2019 Global Competitiveness Report[0] lists the US as 13/141 in terms of transport infrastructure, and 23/141 in terms of utility infrastructure on page 583.

In theory having fewer repeaters improves latency, probably in the range of 100ns per repeater. I don't know how much of a practical effect that has, likely very minimal with modern implementations.

Either way it's more sensible to build high throughput microwave networks given the tiny amount of shortwave bandwidth we have.
How is backup restoration any easier if your whole PostgreSQL cluster goes back in time when you only wanted to rewind that one tenant?
You had families members with retirement savings in these kinds of bridge protocols? Really?
Or use bigger numbers, so enums that get mixed up somehow won’t work.
Yes! It gives powerful tools for someone with a concept to get much closer to visualization of their idea.

DALL E 2 is like a low or no-code tool in that way.

The outcome may not be a "finished" product, especially as viewed by a professional designer (or web dev). However, its a heck of a lot better than a tersely written spec.

And in some cases, the product will work well enough to unblock the business, get customer feedback and generally keep things moving forward.
Yep, it doesn’t filter military flights (which has been interesting recently - toggle by clicking the “U” UI button)
No, I want a car that can be serviced myself, in my own garage. For those rare jobs that are bigger than I can handle myself, I want to be able to choose from any trusted local mechanic, without them having to buy a specific manufacturer's proprietary tools. Open standards, from parts to tools.

I do not expect to get any of that with a new car, or even one made in the last couple of decades. That is why I will continue to maintain vehicles that were made before the turn of the century.
Wait what? How does that work?
Scaling, Advanced Packaging, or Both?
Well obviously it's not working well, I've meet better engineers in the defense and automotive industries than I have at google -- which to be honest is better for everyone when you think about it
> Objects are excellent for data

They are not. If your data is in objects, you have already demoted data as a first class member of your language (ie. Java)
> one major thing that has changed since 20 years ago is that it is simply not possible to become wealthy (like "I can afford going to retire wealthy" or "I can now afford to seed my own startup wealthy") out of the equity package that a startup will offer unless you're the cofounders or a founding employee

Statistically that's likely, but it's not always the case.

If you luck into one of the companies that IPOs and grows big (and doesn't need to be FB/GOOG-level big, just in the handful of billions in market cap), even the tiny sliver of options of a regular employee can become retirement-level money.

There are many public companies in SV that have market cap in the dozens of billions who made their regular employees who joined pre-IPO very rich even though the companies aren't FAANG and don't have such brand recognition.
I think this is the right approach, and I really admire the work you do at ScyllaDB. For something truly critical, you really do want to have multiple nodes available (at least 2, and probably 3 is better). However, you really should want to have backup copies in multiple datacenters, not just the one.

Today, if I were running something that absolutely needed to be up 24/7, I would run a 2x2 or 2x3 configuration with async replication between primary and backup sites.
think they tell you its exploding. but if you end up turning them down they reach out a few months later and tell you its valid for a year
They're not trying to model a hypothetical technology. They're using hypothetical technological estimates as the input for their model of how much carbon would be emitted.

Seems to be significantly more equitable than the React license that people were originally concerned about. That one terminated your rights to use React if you sued Facebook for patent infringement for any reason. This one only terminates your rights to use Go if you assert that Go itself infringes on your patents.
First your bank can’t move money from A as it doesn’t control A. A and C and services or even my personal wallet, not banks. The point is a bank is not needed to facilitate the transfer.

Instead of having to move money from wallet to bank to stock exchange, money can move directly from wallet to exchange and vice versa, no bank.
No Linux download :-(

Nevertheless it's fairly easy to install[1]. If you have docker, you can just run the image to try it out:

docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 8081:8081 --pull always livebook/livebook

You may want to configure some things, so check out the options[2].:

If you want a "native" install, after you have elixir installed you can use

mix escript.install hex livebook

and start it with

livebook server

Check out the readme for more configuration options[1]

This is awesome! Starting it up from the terminal and going to the url was not super convenient for quick tasks and scripts, this is much better.

Edit: one thing that would make it even nicer is if it would remember the folder and/or recently opened notebooks.
A couple years ago, I managed a summer/afterschool program that introduced thousands of kids (age 8-18) to the Arduino. When we would set up a software abstraction to simplify multitasking (something that came up often with more advanced students), we set up something like this:

int time = 0;
int max_period = 10000;

void loop() {
if (time % 100 == 0) {
everyTenthSecond();
}
if (time % 1000 == 0) {
everySecond();
}
// ...

time = (time + 1) % max_period;
}

This `loop` assumes functions are perfectly non-blocking, which obviously is not always true, but works well for 99% of actual use cases. If keeping accurate time is required, the student would compare `time` with the elapsed millisecond time since the last loop invocation, adjust accordingly, and check for any periodic functions that weren't executed in that period. It gets tedious quite fast.

If I had to imagine a solution, it would be to simply have an easy way to enter parameters to the JS-equivalent of `setTimeout` and `setInterval`.
I have personally enjoyed the Yale Online courses tremendously: https://oyc.yale.edu/

My favorites are RLST 152 (Intro to the New Testament), ITAL 310 (Dante in Translation) and HIST 210 (The Early Middle Ages).
It depends. I got laid off during the dot bomb (contract not renewed) and I had 4 months of money saved up. I was out of work for 6 and had to move to a new city. The dot bomb + 9/11 was pretty devastating for the area I had worked in. I had only been in the biz for a few years and didn't make that much as a tech person. It was also a techie college town, so there was lots of labor supply.

I got laid off again about 3 years ago. It was nice. I got an immediate offer from someone I had worked with before. I wished I could have taken more time off. I currently have several years of expenses available to me.

It really depends on where you are in your career. Money really is freedom in the US, try not to spend it carelessly.

Re>> "Ageism is real and some of the younglings treat me as someone whose knowledge is obsolete"

I know that you are correct, that many younglings treat greybeards as people whose knowledge is obsolete.

I'm closing in on 40. I was first mesmerized by computers in 1993 when a shareware copy of Doom was popped into my 486 based PC. "What is this witchcraft!? I must uncover the secrets to how this works!". I've been hooked ever since. When I first started playing with friends over a dial up modem, I was intimidated by all the technical options, prompting me to select my baud rate etc... What does all these even mean? I felt like the people who were working on these computers were wizards full of deep deep knowledge and I was drinking from a fire hose, just trying desperately to catch up. 30 years later, I still feel like I'm trying to catch up!!! Many younglings might think greybeard knowledge is obsolete, but I don't and I still feel like I'm behind the curve, trying to catch up. I know this is probably tangential to imposter syndrome, but man.... I still admire and look up to the greybeards. Edit: Continuing to learn about the old, the origins, and the history is like exploring an abandoned mine shaft still filled with gold and jewels, and I still feel that childlike wonder with technology.

Note: Fabien Sanglard's Black Books are great technical deep dives.

[Edit: Spelling. Though, I liked the term "greybears"]
His example and your support is mixing up central authorities that matter for crypto.

Crypto companies with legal exposure? Yes can be censored.

Open source crypto protocols? As long as raspberry pi’s and digital comms exist, it’s akin to saying the govt can shut down Linux. This is the censorship resistance that matters. It’s not perfect (some ungodly amount of nodes are in AWS and the Trail of Bits report did a good write up as well).

The central authority here is open source software. The author spent a lot of words demonstrating they didn’t know this at all.
At first glance I don't see anything done about migrating the standard library to use generics. Is there any roadmap? I remember a cascade of related improvements when Java introduced generics.
I have this exact gripe with anything and everything that compares the US with other countries, some states are huge, bigger than multiple European countries, imho all charts and metrics should include each state, whether it’s part of a union or not. It would squash a lot of the otherwise unfair comparisons of the US vs other countries which are often used for politically motivated framing which is why I am extra cynical about this topic.
America may not have become the absolute economic powerhouse that it became if it wasn't for the 2+ centuries of uncompensated labor, but IIRC America was the only nation that had to fight a war to end slavery. Most nations simply bought the slaves from the slaveowners and then freed them, which might have actually been cheaper than fighting the Civil War.

> Meanwhile we've seen plenty of capitalist dictatorships

Because even dictators realized that free markets are very effective. Just like science is very effective.

Trying to run a country without free markets is like trying to run a country without science. You can try but you'll be doomed to insignificance and pushed to the margins of the world.

I'm originally from Bosnia / Ex-Yugoslavia.

Experienced hyperinflation, experienced civil war, experienced buying bread with 200,000 dinars one year and 2,000,000 next year etc. Experienced scary people with guns knocking at your door. My family and their ancestors all lost all their money and possessions numerous times over the last 100 years, including in the mid-90's.

And yet, I feel it's the people IN position of Western privilege, who have NOT experienced actual 'dystopian future', and what a hostile government actually CAN do, and what living under duress is ACTUALLY like, who think Crypto will somehow solve such problems based on their theoretical envisioning of only a specific part of dystopian future. I still believe Crypto, like anything else, survives at the mercy of your local government. It has a tremendous set of requirements, complexity, and telltale signs, to be helpful against hostile government which can and will knock at your door with a gun, or criminalize all crypto use/mining/exchange, etc.

The Elixir ecosystem is growing incredibly well. I am impressed both from an engineering and a product perspective.

It shows that they are playing the long game.

I think they are achieving what I wished happen to the Clojure ecosystem: productive, well designed, respected and popular. Clojure missed the last step, unfortunately.

Who's water? Planting trees usually helps to prevent droughts because they keep water in the local climate with effects like shading the ground and containing rainwater (instead of the rain just washing down the next river). I'm that sense watering them is a good investment.
the word you were looking for was probably “psychoactive” not “neuroplastic”
Then I can reply by saying that it was not a "gutting," the supreme court was blocking a new regulation on the grounds that it was beyond any that had been enacted before, and in their opinion (using the previous fact as evidence) beyond what Congress had empowered the EPA to do. No presently enforced regulations were overturned.

Hacker Probably Targeting Auth Option Update Vulnerability in Make's WP Plugin
A nightmare - as said companies will have a fixed amount of revenue per patient, and it won't be recurring.

Wall Street doesn't like companies that go against the ingrained model of "extremely expensive long term care as a service".
Immutability is slow, so if you are somebody squeezing the maximum FLOPS out of a CPU, you might want to stay away (sorry, 1.3x slowdown in your best case is not acceptable, and "leave it out to the compiler" is not a valid argument).

It's like with project management - the iron triangle of speed, quality, price, pick two. With each programming paradigm you pick a different set of attributes that might or might not be the best for what you need and they enable you on one thing and constrain you on another thing.
That's one of the things, though. If you are in a dire situation, like companies nationalized during wartime, you can't work or function. Certain things like advertising your services are clearly out the window.

In WWII, some companies who were turned to serving the war machine continued to advertise the things they couldn't make or sell, anyway. When things came back those folks were on top of the world. If the big FAANG companies can ride out business cycles without acting like they've become vulnerable, they're likely to further cement their positions.

Well, I don't know about environmentally, but nothing suggests that they cost more (financially) than paper labels. If there wasn't an overall benefit, why would the stores use them?
When you actually drill into what filecoin is and how it works you realize it's literally worse than any other form of data backup that I've heard of. No sane engineer would ever use it for any reason other than it being related to the crypto industry. It offers far worse utility than using AWS S3 buckets, at a far higher price, and with tons more risks for no upsides.

And that is a perfect metaphor for 99% of crypto "usecases"
As I said, go do it! Most studies I've seen state that it's hard to know because paycheck to paycheck is such a loaded word. And it's easy to access that the majority of Americans end up in medical debt in their lifetime.

My goal was to find out who Nancy Pelosi is. Finding out what's House of Representatives wasn't the top priority.

I don't understand why you're upset with me not digging deeper into what the House of Representatives is.

"Talk about missing the forest from the trees. The whole transformative experience is the "trip" itself. "

Well it depends which second hand phone you go for. My last 3 phones have been second hand phones ( and I doubt I’ll ever buy new again ) so I know where you’re coming from but we’re talking about new original parts here.
I get the general sensation that it doesn't make sense to hold Visa responsible for something that sounds more of a pornhub issue, but the way I read this: it's just a pre-trial to look into Visa's request to be removed from the trial itself. They haven't been condemned. The judge's justification is that they were part of the financial transaction (albeit through advertising), and therefore there is a chance they could have a say.

Substitute YouPorn by some shady dark web childporn website, and having Visa accept to serve them makes them accomplice. Substitute with Amazon and this is slightly harder to wager for some reason. I think there's a greyscale limit between both, and PornHub is not too far from it since there is a fair expectation of getting illicit content, and remuneration from it. It's not ridiculous for a payment processor to be in that lawsuit, to understand if the checks and balances they should exert on their customers' business should be higher (my personal opinion is no, but I see that this should be adjudicated)
Some early tech decisions matter, but most don't matter as much as people think they do. Other than the OS, I haven't really seen it be a complete deal breaker for anyone that's willing to put in the work in the first five years.

Postgres not handling things well? Slow migration to DynamoDB or to sharding.

Python falling over? Roll the hot codepaths in Cython or horizontally scale.

Node doesn't have great data science libraries? No worries, build a couple of small python data science services and get on with life.

The only reason I think the OS choice matters at all is because I've never seen someone move from .NET on Windows to Linux or visa versa. Could be done, but people generally don't do it. So your hiring pool is going to look different. Generally more scrapy on the linux side, generally more careful on the Windows side, but even there that's mostly about culture and priorities. Both stacks can handle basically anything.
With all respect possible, you generated something that a professional will create for 20 minutes on a napkin (in the context of logo idea).

There is no doubt in my mind that the next iterations of neural networks will remove all "overpaid" and "overconfident" design professionals, that's why I adapted to the reality and moved to frontend development.

The announcements from Kioxia and Everspin aren't related to each other or to Intel's Optane, really (though Kioxia's XL-Flash does target some of the same market segments as Optane did). These two new announcements are also merely incremental improvements on already-shipping memory products, rather than being major new technologies and product lines the way Optane was intended.

If you had a bad trip, you might feel differently about it.
Sure. If you are using some micro-batched event processing abstraction, such as the LMAX Disruptor, you have an opportunity to take small batches of transactions and process them as a single unit to disk.

For event sourcing applications, multiple transactions can be coalesced into a single IO block & operation without much drama using this technique.

Surprisingly, this technique also lowers the amount of latency that any given user should experience, despite the fact that you are "blocking" multiple users to take advantage of small batching effects.
