Go with actual costs today. Don't run at a loss "because maybe someday I'll be profitable". What are you charging today?

Charge fairly. If you get more customers and improve efficiency again, be honest, "thanks to some improvements in scalability I'm able to reduce your costs to X".

You'll also build a long-term relationship by being fair and taking advantage of your customers.

In the state television on main news programme they basically played a 3 minute clip saying for about a minute that something happened with the river and other two slamming opposition for an incident on other river that is not really comperable in extens or even response. They driely mentioned though that the prime minister fired a few officials and ended with a jab at Germans.
No. I work as a contractor where gaps are common.

Also, two month gaps can be invisible or near invisible. You end one job at the start of June and start the next at the end of July. That's a two month gap that doesn't translate to a gap on a CV at all, as you ended Job 1 in June and started job 2 in July. Gap could be two days, two weeks or two months. For recent jobs I only ever put months on my CV, older jobs I put years. (2006-2009).

My feeling on CVs is to not over complicate things. Keep the narrative as simple as possible. And learn from the three month mistakes so you say no to those jobs next time.

I wouldn’t worry about doing it “properly.” Instead do what adds to overall quality and developer productivity. There’s no one size fits all formula.
> I don't agree with the assertion that "[Rust, C, etc.] are not general purpose languages but instead DSLs for algorithms".

The reasoning is given. How is the reasoning incorrect, other than colliding with beliefs and assumptions we make that are so implicit we don't even see them?

But very briefly: ALGOL.

> How is that any less of a DSL, per the creator's logic?

Very simple, from a software-architectural POV: it includes call/return as one of the architectural styles it supports. But it also supports other architectural styles, ideally including building your own, though that is still a bit thin. So n = 1, vs n > 1.

40. Yeah gonna be more difficult when you have kids. I guess one trick is to limit what I'm learning e.g. never learn two things simultaneously. Another thing not to overlook is the decay time of one learning session: I have to keep the sessions close enough so that I don't lose everything I learned from the previous one.

Linux community documentation falls into a few categories:

1. Copypasta that appears on many different websites. Usually the first hits in Google. Usually terrible.

2. Curated, quality material on sites like Linode or Digital Ocean.

3. Blogs from people who actually work with the stuff and have ran into interesting problems/solutions. Can vary but usually pretty good.

4. Distro docs like Arch wiki
Similarly I have the cheapest BBQ I could find [0] and use both my CS wok and CI/CS pans almost exclusively on it. It’s rare that I use the BBQ plates that came with it, it’s basically an outdoor burner.

Mostly so that my house doesn’t stink. I can go hot hot hot just out the back door and not worry about the smoke.

A standard gas bottle (refill ~AU$40) lasts about 8 months.

Neither does typescript. All the types are removed at runtime, it's up to you to ensure that your build process and tooling correctly validates the types. The same is true for python, and the ecosystem has really great tools for doing this.

Money didn't come into it until the first search engines allowed the monetisation of the Net. (Unless you consider the difficulty of computer faculties getting funding from University administrations.)

Prior to that, it was 99% an interactive learning area with the oldies teaching the newbies. In fact probably 95% of the Net back then was run by Universities all over the world.
I suspect the same. People adopt Python because its clean syntax and REPL make the language approachable and easy to get started and then the huge library ecosystem helps you glue together (in a good way) powerful systems. But how many Python users and libraries actually use the language’s extremely dynamic runtime behavior? Something they’re paying for with a big performance penalty and surprising bugs.
I have never seen a coding standards document that everyone read completely and much less followed. Best way of ensuring coding standards is to enforce it automatically with a formatter, like Go does. And perhaps you can generate the standards document from the defined rules.

And static languages introduce a whole class of issues that dynamic languages don't have to deal with. You have to learn a separate metalanguage just for the types that isn't expressive enough to do things that are easy in a dynamic language, and even if it were, you'd still have to write everything twice: once in the real language, and once again in the type language. And then you still have to test, don't pretend you don't. If tests are both necessary and sufficient, then why bother with the type language? The static typing is not worth the cost.

Mypy can work really well in many cases, but we seem to get bitten by bugs on a daily/weekly basis. There are >1,000 currently open on Github [0], so it doesn't take much effort to hit one. And having the type-checker tell you that something's not valid when it actually is is a real turn-off...means that we end up with code that's riddled with "# type: ignore", which kind of defeats the point.

Pylance (the VSCode built-in linter, based on Pyright I believe) tends to do a better job than Mypy, but not as easy to integrate into CI. It's a real shame that the Python ecosystem doesn't have anything nearly as robust as TypeScript.

A lot of Tesla's growth has been in China and Germany though. I don't think they have big plans for US-based growth after the Texas factory. There seem to also be a lot of growing pains with Giga-Shanghai, Giga-Germany, and Giga-Texas.

When we look at European nations + Japan and even China, their strategy for sustainable green energy is shifting into Hydrogen. The technology offered by fuel cell technologies is the one that I'm frankly more willing to bet on for the future to be frank. Especially with regards to large trucks (ie: semi-trucks and busses).

As you've noted earlier: its the large vehicles we need to focus on. And the largest vehicles (ex: semi-trucks) are not practical on Li-ion. Not yet anyway.

>Chargers are grounded to neutral.

JESUS FUCK NO NO NO NEVER NO DO NOT DO THIS EVER THIS IS LETHAL NO NO NO (stop emoji) (death emoji) (stop emoji)

So you can kind of get away with this in the US, where electricians generally know how to wire outlets, and get neutral versus hot correct. But they sometimes screw up. And when they screw up, if you're dumb enough to "ground to neutral", you get 120 V AC to earth on your chassis. THIS IS JUST WAITING TO KILL SOMEONE. PEOPLE CAN AND WILL DIE IF YOU DO THIS. (Accordingly, it's not permitted, and if you take this bullshit to a NRTL, they had better fail your ass.) In Europe it's even worse: electricians don't bother to distinguish hot and neutral, to the point where they insist on fusing both lines of everything that gets fused. So in Europe this is a 50% chance of getting something lethal when it's plugged in.

So, uh, in short: this had fucking well better not be what Apple did, and even if they tried it, NEVER DO IT YOURSELF because IT CAN AND WILL KILL.

(More likely they're just using isolation and allowing build up of stray charge instead of dumping it to earth like usual, because they didn't bring in the earth conductor. Which is annoying but not going to get anyone hurt.)
I can't speak for Indian electrical standards, but here in Ireland, we use the UK plug design and most phone chargers (and many laptop chargers) have a plastic/non conductive ground pin. Ground pins are not used because the chargers are Class II devices[1] with double insulation, and thus do not require a grounding pin. The third pin is still included on our plugs because there are shutters on the sockets which require the ground pin to be inserted first to open the shutters on the live and neutral holes on the socket.

Probably the same reason Tim Cook doesn’t ban Facebook for Apple employees.
In my experience moving around every 2 years or so far outpaces staying longer in a financial sense, so if they want to prioritize people to stay longer than 2 years, they need to do so financially. If I can jump somewhere else and make 15-25% more immediately, why would I stay? It’s not long term vs short term its outright compensation for people staying makes staying not worth it.

Personally, I get almost all my Linux "how-tos" from either Stackoverflow or, for more basic questions, ubuntuusers.de.

The latter one is a German wiki that has a similar premise to linuxhowtos.org, but it seems to be much more active and most entries I was looking at were up-to-date. Kinda weird because I consume tech articles and man pages almost exclusively in English – with the big exception of ubuntuusers.de because there doesn't seem to be a good counterpart within the first few Google/kagi results.
You do know you can statically type Python, right?
In our specific case, we’re providing users query access to datasets supplied to us by channel partners; where these partners pay us to make this data available through our API, because it makes their own ecosystems more valuable for our service to be offered as a part of them.

So, technically, our revenue is entirely independent of customers. Which is why free-tier users still benefit us: the more DAU our platform receives, the more our partners value it, and the more they’re willing to pay us to make their data available through it.

And before you ask, no, we don’t give our customer data to our partners; all they get to know is DAU and API call count for their network.

> Whats the purpose of "free-tier" API SaaS.

Mostly? Giving people a taste without the friction of paying, so that they get hooked, and start paying later. Like how you can have one Heroku VM for free. Or how GCP gives you a free month of usage when you sign up.

I can’t think of a direct analogy within the API SaaS vertical specifically; but a hypothetical analogy would be if Twilio gave N free credits on each sign-up.

> Fraud implies that the alleged perpetrator is obtaining something unlawfully or unfairly. However if that thing is "free" then how could this ever be true.

Our free offer is intended to give people a certain amount of credits to spend to try out the service. By registering multiple accounts, you get multiples of that promotional amount. And, in fact, by registering multiple accounts, you escape the rate-limiting we place on every account, to ensure QoS and prevent Denial-of-Service attacks against our service. So we prevent people from registering multiple accounts.

Analogy: someone who sees a free sample display in a grocery store, and stuffs the entire display into their bag. And then camps out the display each day, taking the whole thing again the instant it gets restocked. While also going around to N other stores in the chain, camping them out as well.

It may not be illegal, but it’s 1. unethical, 2. against the spirit in which the promotion was intended, and 3. screws all the other customers out of their opportunity to get the free thing, because you’re using up their “share.”
Actually people are very prepared for that.

In the US for example, the US collected a waste fee for 50 years and had many, many billions on an account.

Easily enough money to develop the technology for burning up the fuel. Literally many times the money then required.

But rather then using rational technology solution politicians grid-locked themselves over an incredibly stupid Yucca Mountain project that makes no sense what so ever.

So yes, nuclear 'waste' needs to be managed, but there are well known technology solution. Sadly because people were anti-nuclear politicians rather sold the 'put it into a deep hole' story rather then developing the necessary technology.

Why should the difference not be so stark? That's how the power law works, most people follow only a few accounts.
Saying there could be another one “person” viewing inside you is as absurd as 1 billion other inside you. As far as you are concerned you will never find out(disprove) and so it won’t matter if it’s actually true or not. Is also similar to saying there are ghosts all around us, can you disprove it? No. Do most people care? No.
macOS has supported NFSv4 ACLs since 10.4 (released in 2005), and Zoom could have made use of them.
The rise is somewhat predictable and surprising at the same time.

Personally I don’t think there is anything more empowering (in this domain) than knowing that you can be in control of the conditions of your own death.

The surprising part is perhaps the speed at which this fundamental societal shift is happening. 3.3% of all deaths in Canada were assisted deaths in 2021!

If your problem is with the runtime cost of python, do consider transpilers such as py2many that generate rust code.

In order for this to succeed, python libraries would have to be rewritten without the C API in the dialect/subset of python supported.

I wonder if erg could strive to use a subset of python mostly and innovate narrowly in just a couple of places to make python more functional.
You should tell that to my annoyed relative. They may disagree on the coherence front.
Hard to be sure tbh. I thought I had something like that since I had covid at least twice. Now I am on vacation next to sea and i wouldn't say I lack energy.

I think for some the daily grind causes noticeable fatigue fairly quickly (if not managed actively).
> You can't make an argument pro or contra nuclear from this

Sure you can: Germany and France are not in the same place, so the economics of getting gas from source X are not the same, so when weighing gas vs nuclear they were not looking at the same options. For Germany, cheap gas meant Russian gas. If that had been ruled out on security grounds, other energy sources, including nuclear, would have been more competitive vs more expensive gas from Norway etc.

> Note also, Germany gets about 32% of its gas from Russia

Now, after Russia cut deliveries. It was 55% before the war [1], and would have gone even higher with Nord Stream 2 about to come online.

It's transformed from its naturally-occurring aspect into something resembling the texture of meat. That is processing. I suspect that it's also a non-trivial amount of processing, but I could be wrong. Contrast this with grabbing a handful of chanterelles and putting them in a bag.
Mostly because Linux is 'good enough' for most use cases out of the box nowadays. Between Ubuntu, Debian and a bunch of other distros there is one out there for everybody with most of the stuff that you'd need a howto for in the past working out of the box. This is a positive development imo.

Thalidomide was fairly straightforward because missing limbs are unusual and immediately obvious, among other issues with those exposed.

History of usage doesn’t make something safer than the tested options. And a lot of potential issues aren’t immediately obvious.
It'd be interesting, then to know which proportion of the electricity consumed by the region corresponds to the wind energy produced in the region. Utilities will do press release, which is fair game - but if in the end their "80% wind" was a one-of, and has to be compensated by the "50% coal, 45% gas" of someone else to keep the lights on...

We have pretty much the same situation in Europe with Denmark, some parts of Spain, etc... Which still don't help with a big Germany or Poland in the middle.

Mypy still couldn't handle recursive types, last I checked. Pyright can do it, but seems to have trouble with even basic type inference. The annotation syntax is working OK, although it tends a bit verbose, but the type checkers are still crippled IMHO.

Nuclear is also "gas-backed" in way. A stable energy grid is not something one can hand wave together.
> minimally-addictive cigarettes, like with no cadmium, and actually clean out the radiation from radium

I'm rather confused what you're proposing here. The presence of cadmium has nothing to do with the addictive properties of cigarettes, which are largely mediated by nicotine.

As far as I'm aware, cigarettes do not generally contain any meaningful amount of radium.
Do YouTube, Insta, and TikTok also have similar distributions?

Maybe slightly less skewed but these sorts of networks seem to promote a winner-takes-all situation for each differentiated subsegment.
The first Fry's electronics was a converted food market; the Fry brothers owned a series of food markets along route 99 up central California and they asked a research firm to see about branching into the Silicon Valley. The report back went something like "they don't need food stores but electronics gear would be nice" (going on memory from a conversation with an employee in that first Fry's when I visited it). Walk in the front door and turn left - you have a food store. Turn right, an you were in a totally amazing electronics store - far more stuff than Radio Shack ever had, plus the most awesome magazine rack I'd ever seen. That store added a new dimension to the old phrase "chips and dips"
EDIT: fixed typo
I've had experiences on psychedelics where my consciousness gets peeled back like an onion, with each layer being manifested by the drug as a separate voice. Things that we don't typically associate with an inner voice, like appraising some object or forming a reaction, became very explicit dialogues between influences in my mind. The loud ones were friends that I remember fondly. Some of them were comedians (LSD puts me in a silly mood). Some of them were even characters in books, and they were much quieter, but I could still feel their "grammar".

The eeriest thing is realizing why the voices are there mostly during the come up, and then get magnified to magical characters like gods and aliens as the trip progresses. I'm convinced LSD exposed aspects of my conscious processing to myself, and these voices weren't part of some creative hallucination. That all of us, psychologically, are just amalgams of influences, of which the human sort are usually the most direct, makes a lot of sense. Still, its eerie thinking that those voices are always there, just that in moments of inner cohesion they all work and therefore seem as one.

And I will say, being in that state of such explicit awareness of self was beneficial. I could say "no, don’t say that" to the voice that was saying "[morbid thing] was funny", for example. If someone thought like that all the time, I think it would be a disorder only to the degree that they wouldn't be able to communicate with others or whatever neurological overhead it incurs (maybe the brain needs some sort of central clock?).
