I want to be pedantic about this, because words matter.

No one is forcing anyone to buy a lottery ticket.

No one's being threatened with jail time if they don't buy a lottery ticket.

No one's being dragged into a legal process where they are presumed guilty until proven innocent if they don't buy a lottery ticket.

There are not tens of thousands of enforcers out there looking for people who didn't buy their lottery ticket.

There are no hotlines to anonymously report those who didn't buy a lottery ticket.

Politicians do not regularly buy voter approval by messing around at the margins with lottery ticket payouts.

There is no organized industry - hundreds of thousands of people - lobbying Congress to keep the purchase of lottery tickets as complicated as possible so they can keep their jobs.

You may not like the lottery. You may never play the lottery. But don't mistake it for a tax. That makes it too easy to forget the sheer tonnage of force, coercion and political strongarming a real tax involves.
Lagrangian Dynamics was a 3rd or 4th year elective in my undergrad physics. You need it for string theory (which was masters level IIRC).
I think a mentor in a similar field might help. I have this issue also and it's been hard finding a place on the web for this type of discussions. It seems that most people will not seek to understand your problem but to advice you to adopt things that they know, irrespective of how suitable the solution might be for your specific use case.

What helped me was to use the experience that I have from aerospace engineering when making architectural decisions, where we have had to budget and do trade analysis on key performance metrics such as accuracy, mass, power, bandwidth and cost. It's been surprising to me when I talk to seasoned developers who recommend various solutions without first asking me about number of users and requests and data sizes I'm looking to serve.
This has, rightfully, become more standard since Jordan.
That is one of several reasons proposed in TFA; in particular TFA mentions TSMC's earlier investment in EUV being due to the guaranteed volume of smartphone chips.
Have you tried fasting for 20 hours and only eating during a 4 hour window? That seems to work well for me. The first few days I was hangry but pretty used to it now. Biggest change in my lifestyle was switching to black coffee in the morning as you can't consume any calories during fasting. This is the paper that inspired me to do this:

"Diversity tickets available" means that there are discounted/free tickets available for people who couldn't otherwise afford them, and are from backgrounds that aren't well represented. At least for events I've been involved in that's more nuanced than "women etc", and could just as easily mean an open source contributor who doesn't have a corporate sponsor to buy a ticket for them, but does have an interest in the subject.
Intel is in big trouble and the only card they have left is the nationalism card. And that card is for losers.

We are about to enter a silicon slump with low demand and oversupply; for Intel things will get worse.

What will happen when it is clear to everyone including politicians that all that subsidy money is going into a black hole? And people finally figure out that a rocket that blows up stuff doesn't need a 2nm chip?

They are going to lose interest and those subsidies that is Intel's last hope will end.
It was a pretty blatant example of the privileges afforded to important, well-connected individuals. Ask anyone with a clearance what would happen to them if they repeatedly emailed TS information on an unaccredited system, and stored it on an unsecured personal server. People regularly go to jail for this, and anyone with a clearance is repeatedly briefed on the responsibilities that come with access to classified information.
Nix is wonderful to use for personal workstations & such. I'd suggest if the idea of purely declaring a package as a function of its inputs sounds interesting to you, it's well worth taking time to look into using Nix.

I think in terms of adopting in a team environment.. I don't think it's a good idea for a company to adopt high-cost-high-reward tools at a place without at least 3 developers who know the technology well. (You don't want just 1 dev knowing it; and you want slack in case 1 quits or whatever).
There is never a shortage of desperate people living under corrupt regimes. That's the wrong problem to focus on
My perspective: it may not be a badge of honor but sometimes you don't have much of a choice. You plan to do things properly then other things break or unexpected things happen. It can't be avoided if you need certain things done and everyone else who can help either won't or won't do it in a timely manner.

Personally I like to get things done so if I get help fine, if not I get "swamped" and get it done. This is something managemnt should be aware of and usually they can't hire enough of the right people.

But as an ideal scenario I completely agree. Have a ton of smart and well motivated people and share workloads to acheive a common goal.

> Not really, "consultant" is just another word for contractor.

The difference between consultant and contractor in my neck of the woods, is that consultants have multiple clients where as a contractor is basically an employee-employer relationship, simply structured in a different way.

I believe the grandparent was specifically referring to an arrangement where you have more than one customer ("employer", if you will) to mitigate the risk of getting laid off.
This reminds me of how Harvard's CS50 course by Professor David Malan, which is an introduction to programming and computer science. In one of the first lectures, Prof. Malan shows what happens when there is an error [0] when trying to run code in C.

He jokes that he thinks there are "more errors than code [he] wrote," and goes through them with a positive attitude. Throughout the course, he is also aware and openly talks & jokes about the limitations of C as a programming language, then discusses workarounds. Any feelings of frustrations due to errors are then blunted quite a bit, because of prior exposure in the lectures.

It's remarkable how the tone is quite similar. Perhaps Prof. Malan is the rough equivalent of Bob Ross for programming today.

What is frustrating about architecture to me is that it’s so rare to actually find a team with the discipline to care about it in code review. It’s easy to talk about it abstractly and whatever but when someone spent two weeks and throws a PR up on Thursday night expecting it to be merged the next day and they used the wrong design pattern, didn’t structure their domain model correctly or at all, and/or lacks clear interfaces, separation of concerns, etc. there’s no time for architecture and 99/100 times the PR gets merged. You know the story.

And it’s not totally bad, albeit still frustrating. All the good architecture in the world doesn't matter if you can’t build a product that people want to use. Similar to design.

I’ve been at a place once where people held others accountable to architectural concerns in PR. The reviews took longer and honestly it was exhausting at times but also probably one of the periods I developed most as an engineer if I look back at my career.

All this leads me to the conclusion that there’s a time and place to entertain the finer details of code structure and system architecture. And it’s not when you don’t have a product. It’s only once you have a proven business that needs to be concerned with the scalability, understandability, ease of teaching others, modularization and ability to reuse, etc. that these things even start to become smelly.

!Final note that a greenfield product must still be designed and engineered and build, but that’s not architecture. Architecture adds aesthetic qualities (that are ideally practical and functional as well) to a system.

fwiw it didn't come through as a rant. Most of us if we are honest with ourselves have internal contradictions. It's important to be aware.

My wife is fundamentally a socialist (we are in Canada so it's not a misunderstood bad scary word :-). But she is also a home depot manager, where she is the voice of capitalist market forces. What she wishes the system should be, and the system she is daily a part of, are frequently at odds.

I personally find extremes of any given philosophy to be impractical and untenable. I respect more people who, like it appears yourself, say "this is my general leaning,and these are my pragmatical exceptions".

Instead of cramming ever increasing numbers into a few geographically and resource constrained cities we should be encouraging economic development in other areas. In a logical world we would have a huge thriving city at the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers (IL / MO / KY tri-state border).

Thanks! Right now, the recommendation we'd be providing will be based on published studies that are known to positively impact the metabolome and health. We match your metabolomic profile, based on the deviations we see, with recommendations that could benefit your metabolome the most. For example some well-studied interventions that we could match you with include the DASH diet [1] (which reduces the risk for heart disease), fasting [2, 3], targeted physical activity [4], and soon, statin intake [5], metformin [6] medication (which has been shown to extend healthspan), and many more. As you build your metabolomic trends when you test over time, we'll also be able to train personalized ML models for you and give you better and better recommendations that you'll actually respond to.

Disclosing a vulnerability immediately after it is discovered has a few problems. One is a risk to the customers, as script kiddies will create git repos full of tools to automation exploitation of the vulnerability. Another risk is that people will jump to conclusions without a proper root cause analysis being performed that determines how this happened, what is required to prevent it from happening and if there may be more aspects to this vulnerability than was were originally thought to exist. Another reason to not disclose immediately would be that in most cases it will violate the agreement the penetration tester or security researcher has with the bug bounty program. Disclosing immediately would mean they do not get paid for their discovery. This payment for bugs concept provides an incentive for people to help a company fix their bugs that their own developers and QA teams may have overlooked.

Classified ads, the bulwark upon which the newspaper business was built, was ultimately killed by craigslist, which turned all the papers into tabloids, because they now had to compete for views/attention instead of the news being a side business carried on the shoulders of classified ads.

Once the classified ad business went online, no one cared about subscribing to the physical newspaper anymore.

I work in big tech, and that's pretty much how it works here. We don't have "architect" roles, instead every engineer owns a certain part of the system. The difference is scale and complexity: a mid level developer might design a feature or microservice, while staff developers own the architecture of entire systems. Senior/Staff engs oversee the overall system and delegate ownership of parts or subsystems to other devs. Your concerns about consistency are addressed with things like design reviews and regular updates.

Listened to it. Great podcast. I was positively surprised that they got Baz Luhrman and Mary Schmich to tell their story about the song and how it came to be, really cool story as well.

From the podcast as well as the reactions here it seems this song/speech touched if not changed a lot of lives for the better. How powerful music and words can be is astounding.

And how wonderful that this song with so much impact has such a history of random events and lucky moments.
I think Intel "tried very hard" from the point of view of a small company, but the fraction of Intel's resources put behind it was minuscule and felt very perfunctory.

Right or wrong, they had zero interest in betting the future of the company on low-power chips for mobile, or any other market.

[edit]

I just read the wikipedia summary of the prescription for incumbents in The Innovator's Dillema and the one thing Intel was missing was:

> They allow the disruption organization to utilize all of the company's resources when needed but are careful to make sure the processes and values were not those of the company.

To a certain extent, it feels like buying a cloud offering from AWS vs. Google. Google might have a lot of resources dedicated in absolute terms to the cloud offering, but it feels like an afterthought that might go away at any moment. The AWS offering feels like a real product that Amazon plans on making money from.

In both the cases of Intel and Google, I can't say which is true, but customers can only make their plans based on appearances, not reality.

I really like Elm [0] and write all my side projects in it. There are many reasons I like it, but the one that probably plays best around here is that it feels like a very learn-it-for-life type language. It has a release cadence measured in years (the latest version, 0.19.10, was released in October 2019!), and a community that has adapted to match. Elm doesn't release shiny new features often, or even necessarily ever again, but it has everything I need to make every web game I could possibly think of already so that's a good thing.

Show HN: Is Market High? – Stock market charts for 11 sectors and 149 industries
Hello HN. One of the ways in which I wanted to improve my trading was to have an overview of how different groups within the market perform, and ultimately double down on the strongest or weakest ones. I wasn't happy with the existing sector / industry indexes or ETFs as they tend to be based on a small selection of stocks or use market cap scaling which I never felt was giving me a good picture of how a group, as a whole, performs. So I built ismarkethigh.com where I compute aggregates myself using over 4500 stocks from NYSE and NASDAQ exchanges. If you are interested you can find more detail about the aggregates in the "About" section of the page.

I already find it useful in selecting specific groups and stocks to trade in so I hope it can help others as well. This is still very much a work in progress so any feedback is very welcome!
Probably not. If you need async for DB "stuff" to take advantage of your resources, I think it is a rare thing, and likely you would not want to use the ORM anyway, and then can just do whatever you want without it.
