The 2008 financial crisis decimated many regular people's portfolios and was largely set in motion by ubiquitous MBS speculation.

My retort was half-baked because two wrongs don't make a right. But it is ironic to see that many normies here don't see how MBS caused massive wealth loss across all investors worldwide without them directly speculating in that asset class. While, so far, this hack hasn't caused a crash in crypto assets.
Thank you, that's a very interesting topic. I watched lots of videos and material about computer interfaces of the early days to present.

It takes like 5 minutes, and once you are in the habit it's something you do automatically as you write the code and so it doesn't actually cost you extra time.

Efficient representation should be something you build into your data model, it will save you time in the long run.

(Also if you have 100s of columns you're hopefully already benefiting from something like NumPy or Arrow or whatever, so you're already doing better than you could be... )
Ten years ago, that was the feeling. C++ was perceived as a dead end. Everything was going to be Java or C#.

But it didn't die. And today there are more C++ jobs available than a decade ago.

In contrast, today there are some new languages that can actually be good contenders for C++. My personal favourite is Dlang.
That statement relies on the unproven assumption that there's no faster way to solve the RSA problem than to factor the modulus.

Amazing. This has been the solution to postgres issues for me. Just add enough memory that everything, or at least everything that is accessed frequently can fit in RAM. Suddenly everything is cached and fast.

> I'm glad this is becoming conventional wisdom

My hunch is that computers caught up. Back in the early 2000's horizontal scaling was the only way. You simply couldn't handle even reasonably mediocre loads on a single machine.

As computing becomes cheaper, horizontal scaling is starting to look more and more like unnecessary complexity for even surprisingly large/popular apps.

I mean you can buy a consumer off-the-shelf machine with 1.5TB of memory these days. 20 years ago, when microservices started gaining popularity, 1.5TB RAM in a single machine was basically unimaginable.

> Find a few people in PhD programs in the US and tell them you don't think they're in academia

I have a lot more experience interacting with PhD students than you seem to assume, and I can assure you that one of the most worn out conversation topics is whether they should go into academia after graduation. We can nitpick what that says about whether they are currently in there, but that's pointless. The parent was implying that the prototypical image of someone who is 'in academia' is a PhD student, which is definitely not the case. The way the term is usually used, the prototypical instance of someone who is 'in academia' is a faculty member (tenured or not).

Edit: check out the description here if you don't believe me: https://www.findaphd.com/guides/working-in-academia they take a somewhat broader stance than me above, but they make it clear too that academia starts after the PhD.
Yes it's worrying, but math is shockingly empirical because new and surprising discoveries happen (and did in this case re a novel genus-1 and genus-2 curve relationship.) Which means that the risk mentioned isn't limited to these particular new systems for cryptography. But I'll take your side to some extent - there are provably unbreakable systems such as one-time pads (with heavy trade-offs!) and other angles that we should probably be considering using more than we do.
I know literally 0 about crypto so please communicate as if I were a 5th grader (actually they may perhaps be more knowledgeable than I).

> Nintendo, rightly, knew they couldn’t let it happen again in America. They needed to show their console wouldn’t be full of complete trash, so they used the lockout chip to ensure all publishers had to through them.

It wasn’t just about protecting the brand, it was also every bit about collecting money at every single step of the production pipeline. They were able to not only have some better QC, but they were able to literally tell developers “no, you cannot make your game for anyone else. If you do, you’re not allowed to make it for the Nintendo, and that sucks for you because we have ~80% of the market.“

They did it so they could enforce what was functionally a monopoly on the games industry. Sega went to great lengths to undo Nintendo‘s grasp, and ultimately they weren’t even successful - they got a notable carve out of the market but it was still Nintendo’s industry.

It took Sony going on a revenge tour (touting their CD format and wildly generous/unsustainable licensing deals) after Nintendo backstabbed them to finally dethrone Nintendo and end the norm that was their walled garden/top down control of the console games world.
People of the same background can vote for two very different political parties, which seems rather meaningful in term of diversity. Even people within the same house hold can vote for different parties, and its fairly common to hear people complain that other family members do not share their views about the world.

I would suggest to give this task of measuring diversity of thought to social scientists. If universities want to go by that metric then a rigorous and measurable definition should be the first step.

This is remarkable. A lot of small businesses would settle with such an outcome, if it means to invest a couple of hours of talking into a microphone and seeing the result, with a very intuitive way to modify it.

This will make it pretty hard for freelance/solo entrepreneur designers.

In retrospect it makes sense, since the visual domain has been the one with the most focus in AI.

I don't think that holds in 2022.

There's an entire class of professionals out there these days who don't use laptops. It's possible to run quite a sophisticated business entirely from a phone these days, and a lot of people who are doing exactly that.

Sure, there are professions for which this doesn't work - but even as a software engineer I find myself increasingly frustrated when I can't do things like review a simple pull request on my phone if I'm away from my desk rather than pulling out my laptop.

In Denmark the talk have mostly been about PFAS contaminated meat. One of the first places a severe contamination was found was on a building used by the fire brigade for testing and cows were grassing there as well. Since then a lot of other places ha e been tested and many more have been declared as potential places.

Everytime I see a story like this I wonder if the exploit was left intentionally for the founders and developers to exploit one way or another. Even if they themselves do not take the money it would be trivial to sell the exploit for some form of delayed (and more easy to launder) payment.
Canadian here. Canadians are clearly the best developers out there and yes, unfortunately, you can slide quite a bit down the payscale to afford us.

I'm surprised cross boarder hiring hasn't become even more popular with the pandemic and forced work-from-homeness. Canadians mostly speak English (even most Quebecois do!) and are in a compatible timezone with the majority of the developers either in St. Lawrence valley or Vancouver and thus being either EST or PST.

Also, while the holidays differ I think the total number of stats is pretty close to the same.
One of first experiences in my professional career was situation when "one big server" that was serving the system that was making money actually failed on Friday, HP's warranty was like next or 2 business days to get a replacement.

The entire situation ended up having conference call with multiple department directors who were deciding which server from other systems to cannibalize (even if it is underpowered) to get the system going.

Since that time I'm quite skeptical about "one", and to me this is one of big benefits of cloud provides, as, most likely, there is another instance and stockouts are more rare.

> The point of anti-abuse rules isn't the letter of the rules, it's the intent behind them.

This is really indefensible abusive behavior by all these cloud companies. It needs to be made illegal.

Imagine if the real world operated that way. The police arrest you and throw you in jail for unspecified reasons and you're not allowed to know why or defend yourself.

There are excellent reasons why they must instead charge you with a specific crime and the laws that define those crimes are written down and you can look them up. And then they need to present evidence and you do get a chance to defend yourself.
This is not good. Even if production completely stopped today, levels would continue to rise for years in the environment as the materials are washed away from our modern lives and infrastructure.
If we need slotted counters, we're pretty close to the boundary of "right tool for the job", and we need to consider using a time-series database.

For one use-case it might be ok, although if we expect more counters in the future, it's easier to make it now than refactor later.
This most certainly is not true. There are plenty of free things that don’t result in 100% consumption. Demand is based on peoples needs and preferences, not on how much is out there already. Think about libraries as an example.
I know this is a Livebook love-fest, but you may also consider setting up org-mode sometime. There's a lot to love about org-mode but to stay on subject, you can write your documents in a plain text syntax akin to markdown and any of the code blocks that you add in as examples are _executable_. And you can take the output from one and pipe to another.

At work, for example, we have to hit a remote API and the secrets are stored in AWS secrets manager. I have some documentation that has a block describing how to get the secrets and some other documentation elsewhere describing how to issue a post request and I can pipe the output from one block into another and receive the output either in the same file or put it somewhere else.

The one downside with this extreme flexibility is I sometimes catch myself squirreling away useful functionality in my own notes instead of adding it in a utility CLI or similar where it can be shared with the team.

If having access to a scripting language is duct tape, piping output from one script to another in this way in a single file is like having inter-dimensional duct tape.
