I am saying the 20 years of experience is mostly not needed. 90% of programming roles can be done by 2-4 years of experience candidates. With a bunch more in that percentage done by young talented people. The old candidates are discarded for good reason, they arent better than their younger competitors, even if they write solid code.
Cool site indeed. Unfortunately (but expectedly) experts are challenging the feasibility of it: https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/04/25/1050899/promethe...
Easy, see the Hacker’s Diet: https://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/

Basically, control your calorie intake via calorie counting, measure your sliding weight average, and adjust your calorie intake up or down accordingly. It doesn’t matter how accurate your calorie counting is, as long as it’s consistent. That is, you can ballpark a lot of things as long as you’re repeatedly using the same estimates.

Counting calories is the only way I personally manage to lose weight, and it works very well. A simplified version of the Hacker’s Diet I use is the following: First count your calorie intake for a week or two without changing your diet, to establish a baseline of your average calorie intake, and then reduce the intake to 80-85% of that baseline. You’ll slowly be losing weight.

You can go lower (e.g. 70%) if you are able to sustain it and are in a hurry. It helps to pick food that is easy to calorie-count, of course. Reducing carbs generally helps with sustaining the lowered intake, and increasing the ratio of protein (and doing resistance training) helps with not losing muscle (or even building up some).

The mechanics aren’t difficult. You only need to muster the motivation.
Yes but what you describe in the last sentence even here is experience gained over time.

The joys of impedance mismatch, and the angst of more easily frustrated users everywhere.

This is one of the many searching for data/pathing based things that trips up most users, without fail, who have better things to do with their lives than internalize the madness of software developers, necessitating people like me to clean up after you heathens when you shine a turd.

Yes. Very shiny and efficient. Still a turd.

We need to build things that intuitively map through things they are well equipped to deal with, which means sometimes stepping away from the screen for a while. Cognitive load is the enemy. Any idiot can make a more complicated system. It's about building and leveraging mental spaces, and being able to wire into a skill every other human being will share in their lifetime.

We should endeavor to have computer use not condition the user in a maladaptive way to real life. I assure you, we've failed epically, even in or brightest moments.
What? Your comment doesn't make any sense.

We are talking about El Salvadorian expats earning money in the US and sending it back to their families in El Salvador. Is El Salvador majority white somehow now?

And second, race is entirely irrelevant here. A person earning money temporarily in a guest country with full intent to go back to their home country is an expat. If they, instead, intend on staying in that new country permanently, then that person is an immigrant. White or not makes exactly zero difference here.
Painfully starting to understand that this is why the greybeards either move to management or retire. It becomes increasingly precarious to justify your salary as an IC compared to people with less experience.

> That is, the art itself has no inherit value. The actual value of a piece of art is whatever you can convince someone to pay for it.

This goes for any good or service. Usually when people talk about the "value of something" they mean "the price that people are willing to pay for it".
Why I'm Suing YouTube
It's enjoyable for 20 minutes a day, especially when waiting on something.

The key things are:

1) time offline is on your side. you can saturate yourself with current trends that interest you pretty quickly. You need to allow actual real world time to pass for those trends to update.

2) scroll with purpose and intent. aggressively dismiss things that don't immediately get your attention from any unknown source. (Helps the algorithm actually cater to your interests)

3) tell the algorithm when you don't like something. There's usually a "don't show me content like this" option somewhere. I felt dramatic about it at first, but it's the only tool you have to keep the algorithm from incorrectly assuming you enjoyed the content when you did watch the entire thing (out of sheer curiosity / hope / general inaction).

I noticed I now get a lot of low profile things in my feed that are actually pretty cool and fit the medium nicely. Lots of trade work stuff, before / afters, machines doing stuff, stand up comedy bits, etc. Those personalized things do not have room to flourish if I am giving too many things a chance.
I'd say so if you could figure what you wanted to put it on. It would be sweet and sour instead of spicy. I bet it would be good on meatloaf. Maybe you want to slice them up and just have them as pickled peppers. You could also make pepper ketchup or relish.
You can use LIMIT in correlated subqueries in MySQL +8 using LATERAL

Prior to this you can emulate it with ROW NUMBER Window function in subquery, and this is what LATERAL gets turned into in many DB engines I believe

There is one Term that is probably applicable, but this was certainly not the case they were anticipating when they wrote the term:

> (f) You will not use the Services, or any content accessible through the Services, for any commercial purpose, including but not limited to contacting, advertising to, soliciting or selling to, any Merchant, User or Contractor, unless DoorDash has given you prior permission to do so in writing.

This hinges on if trying to make money by using the service as a consumer counts as commercial use. But you can tell they were thinking about very different scenarios when they wrote this term.
It's not that its an uncomfortable truth, of course your growth in technical ability in a new field slows down quickly but that's not where your value is derived from. It's not what your company is looking for from you. It's not how you level up. If you continue in this vane you will plateau in your career very quickly and you will wonder why.

You are describing technical contributor - but that's not really your job. The sooner you realize that and develop the skills that matter, the more quickly you'll make the mid/high 6-figure bucks. Maybe 7 with equity appreciation.
Yes. Just look at the appalling forward blind spot on a lot of trucks and SUVs. Or the way cars have become taller at the expense of aerodynamics.
Sounds like that will work for something things but not for others.

Public libraries and schools would not benefit from this as more affluent areas can support better education. This is already the case in many places in the US. Local property taxes support school funding.
"You just want them to go straight to firing?"

My understanding is that a growing percentage of that is .NET. Even "big corporate" realizes .NET Linux deployments on Azure are cheaper and are trying to cost-cut/cost-save. There's still a small feature parity difference in Azure between Linux and Windows servers, primarily in my experience in "no touch" Application Insights telemetry/logging for application state (and user) monitoring as a major one. If that feature gap closed I expect that 40% to drop rapidly in Azure simply for cost cutting reasons. Anecdotally, I've been feeling internal pressure in my company to move .NET deployments to Linux servers for cost savings and we've done some initial trial balloons on the engineering effort for working around that feature gap.
How do we know if we are moving enough or eating the right amount if we do not use some quantifiable basis? Moving for fun is all well and good, and exercise should be fun as opposed to a chore, but the dose dependency needs to be accounted for.

Whole foods work well because they tend to hit the calorie and nutrient milestones without much tracking being necessary, but we only know that because other people have done the tracking for us.

I think the information these people put out should be used to inform a lifestyle that one constructs, not to construct it directly.
I headed Engineering for a company that built a messaging application. A company acquired us and wanted to integrate our back end with their front end. This was a HUGE deal prior to acquisition and become Priority #1 after. We needed to hit a goal of roughly 300 messages per second of throughput. This was touted as being very serious for us and an all hands on deck activity. As it turns out, we already exceeded that threshold by about 20%.

The front end, however, was only capable of < 5 messages per second and since no one at BigCo anticipated their side would be the problem, they had absolutely zero anticipation of having to solve anything on their end.
While I created this variant for fun; I appreciate the constructive criticism :)

Draggable UI (w/o libraries) is one of the places I enjoy React most, maybe re-rendering wasn't to blame. Might have been an issue under the hood (as drag fires multiple times a second)? From the article:

> I think as developers, we tend to overestimate how expensive re-renders are. In the case of our [pure] component, re-renders are lightning quick.

> If a component has a bunch of props and not a lot of descendants, it can actually be slower to check if any of the props have changed compared to re-rendering the component.
> I am far from the demographic for TikTok

I don't know who you think is in and out of their target demo, but it has pretty good penetration in lots of age and interest brackets. I would argue that pretty much every demographic is fair game.
There's a lot more to that story.
In the film, there was a blind physicist; in reality, he was named Kent Cullers [1], who was, as he told me, cast in that role until the director changed. The fellow who played him prepped for the part by watching outtakes of Kent. In fact, I took my two very young snappers to see the film when it came out, and was stunned: I thought Kent was in the film. I was wrong, but, I'm told that Kent did show up in the film with his back to the camera.

In fact, Kent was giving a lecture on some aspect of radio astronomy (He got a PhD from Berkeley) and Carl was in the audience and asked him questions about radio waves. They have polarity [2].

Kent worked with Jill and wrote many of the software algorithms to analyze SETI signals.

> There are no electric jet operated commercially, and wont be until at least 2026.

Yeah, I wasn't making any time prediction, but big technology changes can break established industry patterns.

> The latter of which falls squarely into the helicopter segment.

There are lots of markets in the past that flew these kind of routes and with electric other can again and more routes can be added because of the changed economics. Helicopters are unsafe and have low capacity, I don't really think they are actually competing in the same space.

They address something different then something like the Heart Aerospace ES-19. That plane is 400km, 19 seater designed to launch in 2026.

And that is with incredibly conservative choices, conservative air-frame, conservative batteries and so on.

There is a huge amount of potential for increasing the range left once you fully optimize every aspect of the plane around electric.

> And as far as automotive, or generally non-aerospace, companies are concerned, well, aerospace is hard.

I picked Tesla for a reason. Tesla works with SpaceX. Those two companies already work together on many fronts. Tesla battery packs and electric motors in SpaceX vehicles. They have shared research divisions in material science and likely other things. Musk has been talking about electric plans for decades, its pretty clear that he wants to develop them and has mentioned before that between Tesla and SpaceX he has the ingredients. Its just that there is so much more scaling to do in automotive and trucking that it doesn't yet make sense to invest the resources.

Lets just be real, Tesla knows much more about electric motors and batteries then companies like Heart Aerospace, or existing companies like Boeing/Airbus. Yes the industry is regulated more and certifications are more strict, but a company that produces 3+ million electric motors a year (more large electric motors then anybody else in the world) fully vertically integrated, can manage to match companies like Heart or Airbus when developing battery packs and electric motors and get them certified and produced.

SpaceX speaks for itself, they outperform Boeing to an almost embracing degree in space, see Crew Dragon compared to Starliner. I am confident that if they were to work on an airplane they could do it. They had to do a huge amount of certification work for DoD, for NASA, they know how to work with regulators and the get hardware certified.

Now of course, it would not be easy and success in aerospace is never guaranteed. But the ingredients are there and the is little question they could raise the required funding. I think that would be a better thing to focus on then robots to be honest.
Who said it’s a different instance?! Renaming a directory structure doesn’t have side effects like this in pretty much any other infra stuff. It’s like nc or curl deciding what Server to connect to based on the current directory name. Whacky.
The only time I have recently used delivery is if I am sick and unable to go pick up the takeout. Otherwise it's too expensive and a $15 plate turns into a $29 total cost. I'll still get pizza delivered though from some places.
> The inherent value of art is zero.

So is the inherent value of gold, sans its use in electronics and dentistry.
The big part that seems to thoroughly confuses developers new to React is the difference between rendering and reconciliation. This is not particularly difficult to understand, but the original emphasis on the virtual DOM seems to lead to a misunderstanding on how React works. The vDOM plays a role only after rendering happened, so all that diffing stuff doesn't have anything to do with rendering. To me that seems like one of the primary causes of developers being surprised that React rerenders more than they expect.

I like the explanation on what triggers rendering in this post. Props and state are usually used in the explanation for this part, but props actually only matter if you want to use React.Memo. And the one part every React developer should know is that in the absence of React.Memo all children will rerender if any state changes.

Nearly everything about the forward looking future feels worse off.

Health, education, and rent costs seem to never find a ceiling let alone a reason to go down. Home ownership appears unattainable.

The climate crisis plagues the world as we are still recovering from an actual plague.

Democracy took a hard right turn and while there's been a little progress lately, protections and freedoms once thought inalienable have disappeared.

The ability to do as well as previous generations has evaporated.

Gun violence and shootings have become expected.

In the face of all this - its more of a surprise kids are able to have a positive vision of the future at all.
I was totally reading "Inherit value" as meaning the value of a piece of art that's not based on any quality, but only because it got enough public traction to let you hope your kids will be able to resell it at a profit...
All the insiders - founders, employees, early VCs - won. So did consumers who were subsidized for a long time. Who cares about the rest? If public investors were stupid enough to purchase at a 100B valuation, who cares?
That’s a bit too strong imo. There is magic, and it can generally be found in implicit re-render conditions.
I apply this solution exclusively on the development environment. I have found that having the power to bail out to a shell whenever docker compose does not support something helps me iterate faster on my local dev (without affecting others).

The following is just a contrived example. Why would I do that? Because I can

# Bring up services without a command
#
# usage:
# nocmd.sh up -d service_name

function _compose {
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml $@
}

function nocmd {
cat << EOF
services:
$1:
command: tail -f /dev/null
EOF
}

function nocmd_compose {
local service=${@: -1}
_compose -f <(nocmd "$service") $@
}

nocmd_compose $@
I used to own a Ford Fusion with an early version of Sync. The car itself was great. The Sync software by Microsoft, however, was not.

One of the innumerable bugs was in the voice recognition system. No matter what song I requested, about half the time it played "Tiny Dancer" by Elton John.

I was demonstrating this bug to a friend who asked "What happens when you request Tiny Dancer?" Sure enough, it played something else.
There have been a few Spotify-clone studies that showed 70-80% of musical success was attributable to "quality" but the ranking of the top 10-20% was essentially random ("luck" to use the author's word). Now consider Dall-E and other art-making tools. If it becomes easier to make quality art, then the luck factor gets much more important, because the baseline quality is higher. So one can ask whether e.g. the Mona Lisa got famous because it was one of the few quality works of its time. I expect that if someone made a similar-quality painting today they would probably have to sell it on the street. The trend is that art's value goes down but at the same time quality art becomes much more prevalent. Meanwhile economic success becomes even more random.

My point was not to use a library, but that many others have implemented functionality in libraries without performance decreases. Granted, your use case may be special to the point where vanilla JS is better, but given how many libraries are out there, as well as how many may simply be poorly implemented yet still work fast, makes me wonder what you were indeed doing.

Bitcoin is very volatile and will eventually go above 10% gains again. I wonder if the author will keep the website and keep paying for the domain if it stays above long term.
Management at software companies know this, they just don't speak it outloud. The hiring decisions speak volumes. Top software companies will pay 300k for a 3 years of experience candidate, because the value that engineer creates is comparable to a ten years of experience candidate.
It seems that film music (and by extension, game music) has been very innovative over the years, especially with the influx of composers who started out in popular music or jazz as opposed to the classics. Even television scores have turned from background music to worthy of listening on their own.
