My point still stands either way you interpret it. A 26 yold has had 4 years to build leadership skills at college (or even earlier) and another 4 in industry. That’s 8 years of experience which feels substantial. Think about it. There are kids who come out of high school with more coding experience because they got attracted to it at a very early age. There are also kids who do similar kinds of things around leadership.
I'm going to look at the Art of Prolog book.

Prolog is one of those things that has alluded me all this time. Mostly I don't think I've had an application for it, and, bluntly, at least for me, I need to have a "real" application to solve to best learn something. Seeing the "animal" program repeated over and over and over again was never any help.

In hindsight, maybe it would have been appropriate in an email messaging application I did long ago. It's message routing workflow was not inscrutable, but certainly difficult (and it didn't help that the route could split, sending the message to more than one place with their own workflows -- that was fun).

I've done a bunch with rule engines (and the message routing was done with an ad hoc one), but less so with inferencing.

Maybe this book will give me some insight to explore further. It's always one of those things that sort of nags the back of my brain that I don't quite grok it.
Yeah who has 10 bucks a year but doesn’t have 25?
I’ve actually never needed to present emails to a court. I assume the overwhelming majority of people could say the same.
> I’m saying that what they want is revealed by their choices

You still have not addressed how does this square with lying.

What should happen when I ask primark staff and they say 'there is no slave labour'?

Is it also my responsibility to fly to Taiwan, break into the factory and defeat their security in a shootout, to find out that thwy use slave labour?

At least I hope the state won't protect primarc in case I want to make sure they are not lying before I buy a t-shirt?
Well first you offer signed downsizing software that only runs on windows 11 with verified boot, then after a few more steps the only way to print (on the printer you purchased but also pay for ink and a monthly subscription service) or share the photo is via sony's $19.99/mo photo software or a subscription to lightroom.
Not GP but it is why I asked this question and the follow up. There are a lot of PL folks who are exploring this particular design problem (static analysis in the compiler to take care of the hard problems of memory management).

What would be very compelling are some code examples and either high level descriptions of what the compiler is doing or some analysis of the type system and IRs the compiler uses to verify correctness.

Particularly things like ownership and lifetimes. These can be pretty nuanced in degenerate cases and it would be interesting to see how you solved them.

Like take Rust. It has ARC to be sure, but the core semantics behind its "compile time GC" are pretty well defined and easy to follow so people have faith that they work (they're also provably correct). If you have some motivating examples and descriptions of how the language solves them it would be very compelling to see!

Essentially this isn't an attack on the project, it's just curiosity about the approach and implementation. It's easy to poke at code examples and see that you're right, what is more valuable to folks that are approaching the same problems is how you got there.
Unrealized losses. The risk, of course, is not zero, but you only really lose if you're forced to sell. In the meantime, you need a place to live, either way. Not a good gamble if your time horizon is less than 7-10 years, to be sure.
Their Quinn/Doyle lines are frequently TW, too, and you can tell a huge difference versus Pittsburgh/Pro that are CN. I am not 100% if they bin batches differently, or if specific products switch from TW/CN and back. The TW Pittsburgh tools (some of the 72 tooth ratchets, 6pt sockets) are decent quality for their price-- but you still should feel them and inspect to get an idea (e.g. the foam used in grips for Pittsburgh pliers is junk, wobbly joints, poor finishes/grinding).

The things they offer lifetime warranties on keep getting better. Some things I wonder about though. Their 200amp multi process mig welder is only $200 less than a Hobart or Lincoln-- but who knows how long HF will sell replacement parts, their warranty process for OOS items and what will actually break, so the gamble to save 10-20% doesn't seem worth it.

Apex (Crescent/Gearwrench) are mostly TW and come in a little higher than HF's 2nd tier, but are solid quality for most of their hand tools.
Well yes, but the 'market' is just normal employees. They understand 1) email and 2) excel for lists and data entry. No formula excel writing.

They will never do 'no-code' programming or anything else except at gunpoint.

They will never willingly open powershell and type "get-childitem". They will not discover nor find interest setting up in email filter rules or email templates. Not clicking on obvious phishing is a triumph, as in figuring out Julie from Accounting isn't sending them an email even though they know everyone in acconting and none of them are named Julie.

BTW, Congratulations on your first submission from an account created 4 hours ago. I hope you achieve sentience RSN.
I don't agree with that. There is a way to clearly signal that you're standing behind the quality of your products: offer an outstanding warranty.

If I was choosing between brand A and twice as expensive brand B, and brand B said "we trust that our stuff will last so we offer a 10-year, no questions asked warranty", I would go for B in a heartbeat. (As long as it was a brand with some history so I can trust they don't just go out of business.)

I haven't marketed it much except for a Show HN. I spent $20 on Google Adwords to see how effective it is. The result was a few clicks but no new signups. I'm curious how other folks in a similar situation have marketed their side project? What channels have you found useful?
It's not a big ask, but it's also quite unimportant. Adapter cards to put one M.2 card into a PCIe slot are in the $5 range, and better adapters will do four.
It literally says on that static page of no security consequence that they tried to set it up, but it couldn’t negotiate a handshake without stalling.
I’m sure most of us have noticed it and commented on it but proving it is different. Like the difference between postulating the Higgs boson and provings its existence.
PC motherboard marketing and reviews usually don't count the WiFi card slot when tallying up the number of M.2 slots (since approximately zero motherboards are sold with an empty WiFi-type M.2 slot), so the complaint was most likely about not having more than two storage-type M.2 slots.
Maybe, I don't know these. I was just pointing out that we can have both progress and backwards compatibility.

Just like we can still play old games via dosbox, but that doesn't mean we have to run DOS as our main OS.

In that case, we might only be differing on terminology. In my understanding, scrum's defining feature was the fixed time box. What you described sounds like kanban to me!
rtings is trying to push a subscription now. I was looking up wireless mice latency, and after looking at 5 mice, I had used up all my free views of "advanced metrics" like click latency.

Yes, a soldered or special battery would be (weak) evidence of the tactic of planned obsolescence. A standard battery that you can just pop in and out, would not be.
Interesting article. Also incredibly funny is that the ad shown to me at the bottom of the article (generated programmatically) was for natural healing tinctures.
What do they mean by this word "has been verified by Google"? Say If I have the app that involve third-party and verifying badge provided by the same third-party is life changing.
I'm just over here wondering how they would control for that fact that people who can't self-navigate are more likely to habitually use GPS (rather than cause and effect being the other way around, habitually using GPS leading to an inability to self-navigate, as they posit)?

Personally, I use GPS almost every time I drive, so that I get advance notice of slowdowns and congestion. And yet I know the region I live in better than most other drivers I know.
No, if the value doesn’t increase, you have to live there. You no longer have the option.

Find yourself at a peak and you could be stuck for years to come.

Again, this was all about asymmetric upside. Being unable to move even as life circumstances change seems like a pretty sharp downside.

I disagree strongly with you on the "secret" to vegetables.

They have lots of salt/fat, because unless it is a puree of some sort, or a vegetarian/vegan restaurants, (places with a chef that is attentive), veggies are treated as a side no one wants to eat and are usually tossed in the trash by the busing staff. Which is why you often see frozen, canned, or the lowest quality presented slathered in salt/fat: the real taste has been obliterated by processing.

The problem is they are trucked great distances so are harvested too early (since they are more robust when unripe). I've had local butter lettuce that tasted sweet and firm, and tomatoes and carrots that tasted like candy. But I'm lucky to live near a lot of local agriculture grown with intention (Portland).

It's a bummer that every city/town in the US doesn't have local produce of some sort.
It can get kind of confusing though. Consider the Navy Grog, a classic Tiki cocktail. The Trader Vic’s recipe is very different than the original Donn the Beachcomber version. This is because the recipe was secret and so all other attempts at it were basically guesses.
> there is no reason whatsoever to burden the tax payer

Why burden tax payers at all? Just have Universities and Colleges charge the full freight of the degree/diploma to the student. That should work out swimmingly.

The issue with breaking down colleges and universities into "feeder programs" for jobs, is that they are terrible at that. Jobs require specific skills, and institutions are teaching subjects that might cover some of those skills, but not all of them and most importantly not the future ones.
What Universities SHOULD be doing, is teaching students how to THINK about their intended subject. Consider different areas and approaches, and be able to be creative and innovative. You know, those things that VCs actually prattle on about?
There are PLENTY of people that started in another field, and for whatever reason pivoted to tech.
(And while we've had some student loan forgiveness recently, it's mostly the students that foot the bill for their education -- and the most expensive parts of the system are for-profit colleges which are supposed to be the "most" market responsive).

Lastly, the "market" is not all knowing and all seeing, and at times it's pretty fickle. Early on there was no "market" for something like the Internet, but it's proved pretty useful. Started as a wasteful to taxpayers pie in the sky project, too.
The idea of rear wheel steering is terrifying just by itself.

The turning is very much non-linear wrt to a steering wheel.
They have switches oils several times that I know of. Some of the early veritable oils didn't taste too bad, but were probably worse than beef tallow for your health. Now the oils are as healthy as you can get for deep frying, but the taste isn't as good.
It's less the team than the city with me. Detroiters get disrespected so much that we have a bit of a chip on our soldier. I actually don't follow pro football in the least because if I did I'd have to follow the Lions who are arguably the biggest losers in the sport.

There are players who have no allegiance to the city. They're not out in the restaurants or clubs. They're not volunteering with city's charities. So when they leave for more money it's just not that big a deal.

Some of my heroes as a kid were Detroit Tigers baseball players like Al Kaline, Willie Horton and Mickey Lolich who spent their entire careers with the team. The city rewarded whatever money they might have passed up with business success after they were done playing.

Vinnie 'the microwave' Johnson from the Detroit Pistons started a auto parts company after his playing career and has made hundreds of millions of dollars. He was from Brooklyn and could easily have returned there to equal opportunities in business.
This is so cool and it's amazing to me that a single programmer was able to do this as a hobby project. (To me it's magic, I know to some this a just a big project).

Yes, you probably shouldn't buy a house if you imagine you'll want or need to move in the next 7-10 years. And, yes, it's also not the case that there is zero risk. It's just lots of leverage with favorable tax treatment. But it's not a magic money machine.
I'm not sure why "unrealized losses" would make anyone feel better? People need to move, get divorced, lose their jobs. "Just stay in the house and keep paying the mortgage" is not an alternative available to everyone.

Look at Las Vegas. It only recovered to the 2008 peak last year. It's been a terrible investment.

Go into contracting. At some point in my career I decided that I did not like meetings either. While still in a job, I started advertising my skills online, and offering them as a freelancer/contractor. When some of my content caught on, and generated interests with potential employers/clients, I was able to pick and choose on both terms and compensation. It moved me from being a senior with 20-30hrs of meetings per week, to 2-4 hrs of meetings per week.
> Stanley Black & Decker, which also makes modern, non-Sears Craftsman tools

Stanley Black & Decker bought Craftsman several years back. Before the sale, Sears had contracted Stanley Black & Decker to make at least some of their Craftsman tools.
I think I've seen this. People were careless and made a high caste a feature lead and instead of working with our team, she ended up stealing one low caste from his assigned work and bossing him around and micromanaging him the entire time to work exclusively on her feature, in a way that wasn't very friendly. He was, otherwise, a decent employee who was patient, attentive and thorough. It didn't seem appropriate to allow that to happen, in my view.
Home warranties are not worth it because they do their best to not pay. . Most home warranties are bought to sell the home, so the buyer just wants low cost and doesn't care about service at all.

A home warranty with good service is possible, but it won't be cheap.
Just a few centuries ago upwards of 90% of the population worked in farming. Since then, multiple revolutions in agricultural yield and automation have reduced this to less than 2%. Yet we do not have 80% unemployment. How is that?
It really comes down not to the question of equivalency, but distinguishability.

Learning to delegate well at work is the best way to free up your time.

I'm dumbstruck by the profundity.

Just so I can value-add and not be a shitposter, I'll add this anecdote:

Many years ago I was watching a get-rich-quick by house flipping video. The motivational speaker was pacing around the stage for the excited audience of potential house flippers and at one point he says:

"What do you do if your tenants don't want to take over the mortgage payments? Evict them and find someone who will."

> I get hopelessly lost. My brother is exactly the opposite.

That's definitely an interesting anecdote. Just to double check - I assume this is when you're on the same trail, right? So the terrain/trail difficulty isn't a factor here?
Is it a chemically/almost tinglingly after taste? I have found that with so many fast food places, McDonald's fries and nuggets have it the strongest. I chalked it up to either very dirty oil (save money by changing it more infrequently) or some sort additive to the oil these massive operations produce that I am sensitive to.
This discrepancy is not necessarily a bad thing. It's basically how western companies why manufacture in China can add value, by doing that kind of quality control and building a reputation.

(Of course, Chinese companies can do the same when they sell to foreigners.)
I have opposite bemoaning for recent motherboards: only one PCIe slot (x16) is directly connected to CPU (not via chipset). It's useless to have PCIe 5.0 x16 slot even for average consumer because 4.0 x8 is still enough for modern GPU for gaming and even if it become not enough, 5.0 x8 should be enough for foreseeable future. Lack of high bandwidth dedicated PCIe slots for other than GPU makes the PC less expandable, e.g. video capture, another GPU (not for SLI), 10GbE, HBA, etc...
On the other hand, some components get so abused in a commercial/industrial setting, that they're considered consumable parts of the machine, making "long life if lightly used" into a complete non-consideration in the design process.

You probably don't want a commercial-kitchen dishwasher; IIRC you're expected to have someone in to replace the hoses in them every year or two, because they make those hoses out of plastics that are tolerant to higher temperatures, but at the expense of plasticizer degradation (becoming stiff + brittle) after just sitting around at ambient temperature-and-pressure for a few years. A residential dishwasher, while not able to clean as well, will be able to start up just fine after years of disuse; which is more what you want in a house or apartment that might go years sitting empty.
It's really that easy? Care to share another stock pick today with asymmetric upside?

It always seems to work for me properly? People want this feature so they can restart their computer without losing their Safari tabs. I used it today when updating my computer. I didn't have to save my tabs because Safari just brought them all back automatically.
but electronics are literally shit. perhaps they always were, but there are things that are new since the early 2000s that automatically make them shit, like those buttons on a microwave, digital controls, and having javascript inside the product. i cant think of a single piece of hardware i bought after 2005 that i was happy about. i buy a scale (the most expensive one in the store this time) and it automatically shuts off after a minute and i have to re-tare it. i buy a thermostat and it has a vuln that lets people remotely control it. i buy a keyboard and it has LEDs and when you turn them off (lucky it has the feature), you cant see the key labels because they are just holes for the LED. i buy another "gaming" keyboard and it has 2KRO (i.e, worse than $5 generic keyboard). the last decent product i can remember was a CRT in 2005. LCDs starting with HDMI or so take longer to turn on that a CRT, they are THAT bad. (LCDs did not compete with CRT until 2015 or so, btw).

i cant even imagine why you would downvote this. are you the one agreeing with OP's "no evidence" claim, or are you just some frothing idiot consumer who is upset that your little purchases arent being extolled as they usually are?

yes, you are right, they definitely were allowed to check more than one item, we can see that the total sum of all options gives us a total of more than 100%, so that must have been the case.

But even then, it's hard to overlook the fact that the first three options in the list are related to web development, and with quite high percentages.
> Which non-Western countries are competing on creativity?

As I see it, Asian economies like India, China, Japan, South Korea offer a reasonable competition to Western economies today.

1. Samsung is a very viable competitor to Apple in hand held + wearables creative space.

2. Indian fin-tech solutions IMO today are some of the best in the world. All I need is a phone to shop for things (from buying a car to paying for parking) and have not used a credit/debit card for a year now (I live in India). Same in Indian edu-tech space. A lot of kids have quit school and are learning at home. Full time. I have not seen this happen anywhere before.

3. Toyota's are way more reliable than BMW's, Audi's and Ford's.

4. TSMC vs Intel is another good example.

I foresee a lot of innovation happening in Asia right now to go global in this and next decade.
