It begs the question of whether software can be akin to art, music, and poetry. While most software just attempts to be functional (minimally at times), at least some programmers take great pride in their work and try to create software that is elegant and interesting.

It is kind of like traditional architecture. Most buildings are just designed and built with a purpose in mind with not as much thought into creating a 'work of art'. But there are some really beautiful buildings that get all kinds of awards for how they look. Likewise, most software is just built to accomplish a task; but some is the work of much thought and design to make it do some amazing things.

Software is one of those fields where a true 'artist' can have a lot of enjoyment from creating it while still making some money because what they created is not just cool to look at, but provides some real utility.

Software 'artists' tend to have two different projects. One is their day job that must be built to someone else's specification. The other is a side project where they can express their creative side and build something really cool.

I have such a hobby project https://didgets.com that I have thoroughly enjoyed building.
> Hooks was the natural evolution that removed all possibility of accidentally referencing stale data.

It unfortunately does not, you can hve various foot guns with refs or omitting dependencies from the array argument; but to your point it makes it a lot easier to ensure you do it correctly by collocating logic related to each cross cutting concern instead of entangling the code in the lifecycle methods.

More precisely it makes it easier to follow correct patterns, but as always that is subjective and hooks can be contentious :)
Perhaps they get used to nobody listening and just stop talking.
For most works using this as concept art would be deceptive and out right fraud in worse cases. The FCC doesn't pursue it so you'd probably be fine but this is not a replacement for an actual concept art unless you are working on a low quality or low poly game and even then this would be very misrepresentative. This has no real use case outside fraud.

I’m sorry you felt the need to get snarky. Making assumptions undermines your argument. It’s not hard for the orders for 2 families of light eaters to not fit in a single scooter.
The future of interactive theorem proving?
> "Quality is like art. I know it when I see it."

I think that's the minimal repro. The thing objectively will have those traits, but you can just enumerate them. Labeling them "quality" adds information about you, not the thing.
I use searXNG daily too!

But in terms of a real search engine, I find Brave to be the best.

If didn't use Searx, I would probably be using Brave.

the searx instance I use uses brave and google by default.
you changed your claim again. Suburbs app delivery is negligible compared to urban, but its still pretty hot. My area has farms but you can still see delivery pickups running constantly at popular restaurants.
Yes I think you're correct libc5 to libc6 is the upgrade I was talking about. I just had a look that's more than 20 years ago. Funny how people still talk about "painful libc upgrades".
I wouldn't have predicted artists, so-called "creatives", would have been the first to get displaced by AI, yet here we are.

Almost. The chancellor proposes the ministers, the president appoints them (never not followed the proposal of the chancellor). But she isn't heading a ministry, but reports to the foreign minister, which probably proposed her. She might or might not have the administrative rank as a minister, but she isn't a member of the cabinet.

I was speaking with one the top managers of Airbus and asked him about Boom Supersonic and the Overture. He was skeptical of the idea mostly because of fuel consumption. He said based on their research, the future of flight is slower not faster. Open fan, hydrogen, and electrical planes all point to a slower and more efficient aviation.

Steroids help someone who is working out intensively get 10 to 20% more out of their effort (at a trade off for health later on).

It does not do anything for someone who sits on their ass sedentary.

It’s an augmentation, not magic, and a serious athlete could beat a non-athlete even if they juiced.
I'm a big fan of having people discuss designs before implementation. That said, I'm not much more formal than nudging folks to have a discussion with their peers. It could be a meeting like you mention, or just an informal chat over coffee.

I've seen too much harm come from overly prescriptive approaches to design review, which I've seen lead to people resisting, and that might be going on with your team too.
There's an article in the Washington Post today:

> "The root of the problem is an ongoing, 23-year drought, the worst stretch for the region in more than a millennium. Snowpack in the mountains that feed the 1,450-mile river has been steadily diminishing as the climate warms. Ever-drier soils absorb runoff before it can reach reservoirs, and more frequent extreme heat hastens evaporation."

The UK has racism/tribalism built in. It started there and worked upwards. The founding Anglo-Saxons are the Angles and the Saxons, two competing and merged races. The word England means land of the Angles.

The class system overrides any racism, you are judged on much more than your race. Where you were born, your education (what school and university you went to), your friends, where you live now (by area name and distance to better spots), your family connections, your accent and word choice, your dress and behaviour (manners and mannerisms), your job history, the clubs you belong to, and much more.

If you work with some people or someone really cares about you, they'll do homework on you to find out all this stuff.

The UK has mapped out discrimination far deeper than american style racism. There are many more ways to slice up your image than just tribalism and ethnicity.

Also monitor smell, bubble formation (good) and watch for bad colors (white, black, green mold on top), browning of ferment, especially near the top (bad)
Sauces are hard to get right in small batches. A good demonstration for me was Epicurious YouTube series on 'expert guesses cheap vs expensive' for various foods. The one for hot sauce [0] is basically the only one in this series where the 'expert' often preferred cheaper items to the more expensive - basically as some of the small batch ones werent as carefully flavor balanced

I can guarantee you that 4/5 years xp is absolutely nothing. You can barely scratch the surface.

what you do start get after 5 years however, is the feeling that you've seen it all ( because you may have, but only very superficially). It makes people like that extremely dangerous.
> they're injecting a middle-man where one doesn't need to exist

a food logistics service should exist, as (if done well) it should scale better than local restaurants doing their own delivery.
> culturally there isn't an equivalent of caste that would make sense for a white person to act on

Sure there is. People from English-speaking countries & Western Europeans vs "Eastern Europeans" and Latinos.

Ignoring for a moment that using the term "Eastern Europe" is itself hugely problematic, though usually because of ignorance not racism, I have worked in one and heard of several examples where there were huge discrepancies in salaries (much more than CoL-related), raises, promotions etc. between native English speakers and people from the CEE region.

There's absolutely a "caste" system among white people in tech. North Americans, UK, NZ, and AUS first, western Europe second, everyone else fifth.
OK. I mean, yeah I disagree. There's ample reason to distrust Microsoft these days, but far less than there used to be.

I've signed many antitrust petitions for them over the years. And they have won a fair amount of good will since Satya came on and pushed for cultural change, as well as a larger pivot towards cloud and open source.

So, you know. It's a mixed bag is my take.
You can easily carry food for 10 people on a scooter unless the packaging is crazy.

This, again, is the norm in Europe.

Why should the average delivery guy be driving a car to be able to accept big orders that probably make up less than 1% of all deliveries?
Context being that another AI art model (StableDiffusion) knows the names of many popular artists and can create images that sort of kind of look like their work. This terrified a lot of artists on Twitter who've now gone around harassing AI developers and claiming they're plagiarists, then simultaneously posting things like "umm this is all uncreative and ugly collages" and "this is going to take all our jobs".

Oddly, the main instigator turned out to be a "Pokemon in real life" fanartist who didn't notice he's already a professional plagiarist.

> So in that context, saying “horses stuck around when the automobile came” is true, but if you went up to a painter and said “hey, within your lifetime painting will see a 90% decline, stop being taught formally, disappear from daily life or awareness”.

The issue with this claim isn't automation replacing artists (though I don't think that will happen either due to Jevons' paradox) - it's just that AI generated images don't replace paintings because they aren't paintings! Print shops already exist and may have replaced you though.

> I’ve had a lot of struggles with this. I have a specific image in my head, I’m trying to prompt for it, and the AI just does not want to do it. The most trouble that I’ve had so far has been with trying to get a tavern running across the plain with chicken legs.

There's a general unfixable problem here, which is it's hard to be aligned with silly prompts without giving you silly output for "normal" prompts. That's also why they're complaining the model output has too safe composition - the developers are lucky they even got it to do that, it's better than random blobs of color and body parts like older models would generate.

But the picture they want probably is hiding somewhere in Midjourney's latent space; it's just a matter of finding a prompt that recreates it.

One way to do that could be to sketch the picture you want some other way and run it through a reverse image-to-text notebook like https://github.com/pharmapsychotic/clip-interrogator.

Another would be prompting it with your sketch so that you can get an image in its "house style" - which doesn't seem very appealing for most models, but Midjourney has a pretty strong one.
As a music composer, I’m a bit cynical about his statement around artists giving their work out of love for others. As self-expression, art tends to be intrinsically selfish. If other people love it too, that’s even better. But that’s not what I think good artists focuses on. Art is to me the reverse of a business: you expect a market to be created or to exist for the product you decide to create. If you’re good, persistent and a bit lucky, you might succeed.

Don’t get me wrong, I love art, artists and want the good ones to thrive.

I bought a samsung np900x3g about 5 years ago for the reason it's too cheap and put archlinux on it. then I used it as my main computer, bought 2 ryzen rtx gaming laptop since then, but only use them to play some games.

In El Salvador it's called curtido, and it's very simple to make. Traditionally it's not meant to be spicy. Usually served with pupusas. Some people add jalapenos or serranos when making curtido to add some heat to it; varies from place to place, family to family.
The Indian caste hierarchy works in complex ways. The very top and the very bottom are confirmed, but everyone in the middle just kind of gets mixed together.

If you’re Indian, you know it too - the OBC category is just political hogwash (disclaimer: I’m from an OBC category)
> the typical delivery model of a local restaurant worked just fine without them

The typical delivery model of my 4 favorite local restaurants was to not do delivery at all. With DoorDash, they're offering a middle-man as a service when the overworked and understaffed local restauranteur doesn't feel like adding a hat to his collection for managing a delivery service.

The problem, though, is that this service does not come without added risk for said restauranteur - ther business lives and dies on a combination of online reviews and word-of-mouth recommendations, both of which can be harmed by DoorDash.
You can still ferment them to preserve. Will make a sweeter sauce that would still make a nice condiment.
Right now, I think the winning move for artists is feedback and iteration: "make his head tilt more to the left. make his tie a lighter shade of blue." etc kind of modifications that aren't easily parseable by an AI.

That being said, I'm quite enjoying generating pixel art to stand in for my programmer art before I commission artists.

Which so far is close to ZERO... I live here and I can tell you that so far no big business has opened operations in here "thanks to bitcoin". Our beauty pageant contestant turned US ambassador Milena Mayorga has organized several excursions to the country for "bitcoin investors" including some Thether funders and her now best buddies/cheerleaders Max Keiser & Stacy Herbert. I still have to see the payoff of those excursions aside from free helicopter rides for the assistants [1] ...

I don't know about "very talented": I take my job/craft seriously and as a result I'm good at it, but I've been programming in one form or another for 30 years, I got a hand-me-down original IBM PC when I was eight, and a hand-me-down 386 / copy of K&R a few years later. I still haven't decided if the ubiquity of access to a JS programming environment (good thing) outweighs high barriers to entry of figuring out how to write native code on e.g. a kid's iPhone (bad thing).

I think it remains to be seen where the corporate world lands on all of this. It's still fairly early days on 22-year-olds being able to raise VC and hire a bunch of other 22-year-olds to go "disrupt" some market. The results so far are mixed. Too soon to tell.

As for leetcode interviews: no one likes them, as I've said elsewhere I didn't like being interviewed that way and didn't like interviewing others that way (I could go a little off script to try to dial down the false negatives a bit, but there were in general pretty clear non-discretionary standards). But every high-prestige admissions system has some standardized or semi-standardized test. For undergratuate in the US that's SAT. LSAT/MCAT/GMAT you name it.

Companies don't want to be using extremely unpopular tests with lousy recall. Interviewers don't like it, interviewees hate it, and it has all kinds of structural biases against people who didn't just finish a CMU undergraduate. I personally might flunk a leetcode interview at a company I contributed absurd amounts of good code to.

But no one has thought of something better yet. It's a real opportunity.

I have a similar setup but the tmux invokation is handled on the remote shell. Needless to say it does not break scp. (I will admit that a single config file for all hosts is more convenient though)

I am actually switching to having wezterm handling the mux functionality. It's nice to have this stuff running on the local client which allows all familiar keyboard shortcuts to work without conflict. Automatic Pane/Tab support is really nice. Mosh like functionality comes for free as well.
I used to get groceries delivered from Vons. It was $10 more than in-store shopping, and totally worth it. About a year ago they shit-canned their delivery drivers, and went with Instacart.

The first order I had with them after that was terrible. The driver got the food from the store at 7am, to be delivered before 10am. By 3pm that afternoon—no delivery yet—I cancelled it. I didn't trust that the produce, meat, and other perishables weren't just baking under a hatchback window all day.
Which is why I specified that. Outside of the inner 15km radius big cities in Australia aren't at all densely populated either, and cars probably are used for delivery there. But 90% of the deliveries I observe are in that radius!
Is Wal-Mart Good for America?
30 years ago or so, I made roughly 14 an hour driving pizzas part time, 3x minimum wage at the time. The strategy was basically go fast, know where you’re going (no cell/ google maps), don’t get stuck with single pie runs to the end of the earth.

To see that 20/hr requires all kinds of strategies now — it’s a different world.
Yup! If you want it more carbonated you can bottle it.

I can't get panela around here so I just use brown sugar.
Don't forget their customers.
There weren't any significant problems with the legacy model. Pizza delivery staff didn't try to talk you into accepting a cheese pizza instead of pepperoni. They didn't lie about their credit card machine not working. They showed up just like the new services, and specifying the order in English usually also worked well. Which were all problems with taxis pre-Uber.
Toxic to who or to what?
Do you use ASP.NET Core Identity or roll your own auth? The thing that bugged me about ASP.NET Core Identity when I looked in late 2020 was that it stores too much info in the cookie itself. So if a user logs in, and then their authorization details change, the cookie could become stale. I've come around to the conclusion that the cookie should just be an opaque identifier pointing to a database record on the server. Most of us aren't trying to optimize authorization for Google (or Microsoft) scale.
Coming from the author of ripgrep, which is a tool I use daily, I've got to say it's an honor to see you answering my silly comment!

Office at home certainly beats datacenter hosted but by 5x? Not sure... ; )
That’s an unfortunate situation, but I’m not surprised to hear this.

I worked in a single-location pizza shop when I was in high school and there is a lot more customer-benefitting coordination going on between the inside and the drivers than may be obvious. (These applied to my shop; I’m not sure if the big chains actually do this kind of stuff.)

* Most shops have a delivery radius of less than 10 miles and it’s pretty impressive how detailed a driver’s address knowledge of the area can get after just a few months.

* The people taking orders over the phone were often delivery drivers waiting between runs and will clarify addresses and locations as well as delivery instructions (drop off locations, gate codes, etc.).

* The inside crew will typically batch deliveries headed for the same area and time the oven to get all the food out around the same time.

* If for any reason a delivery can’t be made (car accident, flat tire, made a wrong delivery and no longer have the right food for the order, etc.) the driver will call the shop which will remake the order and send it with either another driver or an inside crew member.
I haven't used Doordash in a while, but Uber Eats is definitely attempting to do what you're describing. You have to pay additional money for someone to drive directly from the restaurant to you, or else they'll often stop to do another pickup or delivery on the way.

I agree with this. I really cannot think of any situation where it would make sense or give a person any sort of advantage whatsoever to not just look out for themselves and make sure everything is in order before even mentioning to the company that you're looking at other opportunities. I'm surprised to see some other comments suggesting giving a heads up.
I have never even stopped to consider the benefits - real or on paper - of a system of explicit discrimination.

It is morally repugnant and treating it as anything else is perhaps even more morally repugnant.

This conversation always ends up with a slippery slope argument with polygamy, children, animals, something else equally offensive.

Inverseish caste discrimination does happen in some places in India, where demographically large "lower" castes seize political power and take the spoils and boss around everyone else (both upper castes who're easy to oppress in the name of equality, as well as other lower castes).

But I can't see that happening in Silicon Valley. There's too many Brahmins for other castes to be able to discriminate against them.
Seem to be missing the forest for the trees a bit, with this take
It would be a very long writing trying to explain it properly, so i’ll just use my experience as a long time gym rat. It takes a very heavy calorie deficit to enter “starvation mode” all bodies are different but counting calories is the easiest approach, lower your actual intake by 20% and monitor weight for 2 weeks once your curve starts flattening increase by 10% for one week then lower to the previous. I guarantee you that you’ll lose weight without losing muscle mass.
