The only argument why fast typing could be important that comes to my mind is that you're less distracted (from thinking) if you can type fast without looking at your keyboard.

If you're payed by lines of code, than it's a different story, of course ;-)

I am using the plumber/plumbing analogy all the time.

- Can x be done ?

- Yeah, it's like plumbing and data travel through pipes. Theoretically, anything is possible. But some plumbing require time/money/expertise we don't have.

I prefer this analogy to the first one I came up with at the beginning: we are basically just form builders automating if the form is filled correctly. Way less sexy than the plumbing analogy.
The counter to the democratic outcome not being “your personal choice” is to admit defeat, rest up, reflect, and look for better, more popular positions next time. Ie continue engagement in the relevant systems. Attend local council meetings or other hearings - and be polite, respectful and thus some base level respectable. In the US, democratic republic norms are aggregate personal acts and not a state. Like jury duty.

Healthcare is too complex to settle on, because some disruptive variables are at play, like changes in demographics and highly complicated taxation schemes. I'm from Europe (Netherlands) and healthcare costs has risen by double digits for a long time now, whilst service only degrades.

So let's take education. After 30 years of internet, you'd expect it to be practically free by now. Instead it got exponentially more expensive as well as more bureaucratic.
Meta: How should you deal with this complexity?

If you now know a system is full of edge and corner cases what should you do? (Feel free to expound beyond the email case)

Some strategies for discussion:

- Don't roll your own

The system is too complex to attempt to build yourself. Find libraries or services to do it for you.

- Start flexible then patch

Build a system which is designed specifically to change and only handle the most obvious cases to start. As users complain, patch.

- Disallow complexity

Build a strict system which does not and will not support corner cases in favor of consistency.

- Other
I had made an email graphing tool early in my career. The idea was to find instances where an account had sent to and received from an email from any address and put that in some funnel.

The tech worked, I created lovely graphs of conversations but it was far more rare to find hits than expected.

I came to find that almost nobody was sending and receiving emails from external domains. (I also discovered I did not want to know what people were doing with their work email.)

I eventually did figure out the issue. People use aliases for external communications to protect their inbox and create rules around it. Two or more email addresses per account is quite common.

This was a lot harder to solve. Not because I couldn’t create that mapping technically, but because I had to go out and collect everyone’s aliases through user input.

So I’ll add that email addresses correspond to unique accounts.

> a concrete helmet is literally worse than useless.

Is it? It would still absorb energy upon impact. Which, in contrast to popular belief about bike helmets, is its main function. Yes, ordinary bike helmets will also just break. But in doing so, they absorb energy which then won't be absorbed by your skull.

There is no point in a perfectly stiff helmet. It would just transfer the energy right through and you'd crash your skull into the helmet, which doesn't help.
I'd rather the people in charge were patient, thoughtful and rational. But it is interesting to consider that a rational person may, under some circumstances, want irrational leadership.

Easy example at the moment, I think it is obvious from game theory that there are situations where a rational actor in the US would order a nuclear strike on Russia. Under such circumstances, I'd rather the person with the power to do so acted irrationally. Following this line of thought, it is reasonable to support extremely religious people with irrational ideals for high office - as long as what they actually do gets a good outcome. Eg, a strong belief in a higher power might sometimes drive the sort of people who are willing to decentralise executive authority amongst the masses.
While its common in the US and similar environments, I think that's not a helpful framing of political interests.

To be explicit, I think pinning things on the left or right gives people a way to characterise a problem which should be inspected analytically.

For example, painting climate change as a 'leftist' cause is not ideal. That's because calling it leftist is common tactic to paint climate scientists as comparable to marginalised groups (who are seen as easier to tease).

The issue here is that it detracts from the practicality of the climate action discussion (what are the bottlenecks for each option, vested interests and what to do, etc) and its in poor taste to the marginalised groups.

Very cool.

For those who are interested in instrument design, I recommend Bela platform for you to get started with.

spark and presto have big farms of workers. it's a replacement for the part that owns the memory where the computations happen on the workers. it has a handful of fast support libraries and i/o libraries but can also make use of spark and presto. it is probably faster to start up and has less fixed overhead (beyond the space used by the work area) than the usual runtimes because it is written in c++. it also is probably a better bridge for dl type workloads.

you can think of it as similar to a "python kernel" but distributed and language agnostic for "big data" type jobs.
Exactly.

However I think he was trying to get this story.

I am spending far too long on OpenAI and I see it as next level creative tool. It is not a gimmick like that deep mind Python app that Google had a few years ago (that turned everything into an uncanny dogs head).

What I like is the confidence this new technology has. I have seen lots of things go digital over the years and always found an artist backlash. Digital photography, even Photoshop itself. You can create the next Mona Lisa with nothing more than lasers and space dust and an artist will snub you and go back to making their little clay pots.

With this new OpenAI the results are compelling and there is no denying it.

You also don't need to know any language apart from English. It is not like you need to do something like know how matrices multiply or do trigonometry (yep, that basic stuff we learn at school and never use in real life).

With any tech that is 'wow' you have to make the tech not part of the product. Imagine you have a new image viewer that can give you infinite zoom. You use it to show a gallery of blueprints from a museum. Although the new zoom tool enables you to show off these blueprints, you need to just make it utterly understated and not advertised as 'wow infinite zoom!'. You have to keep focused on the content, the blueprints and making the tech transparent to the objective.

With OpenAi it is the same deal, we have the gimmick of fooling the experts. But then when used day to day then it is just another tool to tell the story and to craft the art.

Pretty much. But like almost everyone, you may spend 80% of your screen time in 1-3 apps whilst simultaneously having an additional 100 logins for lesser visited or even one-time usage interactions.
Ask HN: Uptick in recruiter agency spam from “Who is Hiring” posts?
Hi HN crowd, wondering if anyone else has experienced an uptick in recruiter spam from "Who is Hiring?" posts? I've noticed that my most recent post generated 8 - 10 spam contacts mostly in email but also on LinkedIn. Am I the only one noticing the increase? Can anyone think of a way to prevent this for future posts?
No they didn't. Watch the video.
I suppose the more experienced (and more valuable I guess) knew most dangers and pitfalls and were better able to navigate amongst them. Some people also seem to be inherently more clumsy/likely to misstep/hurt themselves and they'd get sorted out sooner.

Not that that was any good, but I don't think enough builders died to make a difference in productivity.

As someone who types quite fast, if you haven't watched someone who types 20-30 wpm, then you probably haven't seen what a hindrance it can be.

Yes, thinking is more important than typing, but after you've had a thought, you need to see it "in writing" and execute it to evaluate it and see if it was a good thought after all.

Fast typists can go through many more iterations of that process in the same amount of time.

It has often been remarked by writers that writing is thinking. That you don't even know what you think until you write it. There is something very fundamental to the thought process that comes from actually recording the thoughts and seeing them "in print".

A good typist (which I'll call 100 WPM, a point beyond which I diminishing returns make further improvement less important) can do the writing-is-thinking process 4x more in the same amount of clock time as a 25 WPM typist.
The article is arguing that the people the author agrees with should have more authority to do what they want and the people they disagree with should have less. And when those people won't leave then "we need to be okay ruffling some feathers". Sounds pretty fascist aligning to me.

I highly prefer a ratcheting screwdriver if I have to remove a stubborn philips or pozidriv screw, especially if the screw is not directly accessible or there's limited space for my hand.

This allows me to keep a good grip and the pressure on the screw all the time, ensuring the screwdriver head doesn't slip out of position.

I also find it faster to just twist the shaft of the screwdriver once the screw is loose, something which I find easier with a ratcheting screwdriver (many have a knurled section on the shaft for this).

And a good ratcheting screwdriver allows you to lock the mechanism, so you have the best of both worlds.
Maybe I am one of those writers, but I don't think you and I have the same definitions of greatness in this context.

To me, greatness comes from wise economic reasoning. Using TDD is an economic choice. Using a more sophisticated type system is an economic choice. Being quicker at typing is an economic choice — you can be the fastest typist in the world, but it's not much use if everything you type exists in a vacuum.

I think the software craftsmanship idea of greatness is to be disciplined enough to refactor every bit of code until it's squeaky "clean", whereas greatness in my mind is [at least partially] the ability to recognise when a part of a system is a bit of a mess, but functions correctly and reliably and is unlikely to ever need to be changed, rendering any effort expended in "refactoring" to be a waste.
This is exactly my thought as well. To me, the days of the week and month names are colored as well, but I wonder if we just used colored signs and posters to learn them in kindergarten

My take: I like the Bruce Lee quote:

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once,
but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.

The people who blog about being great developers are largely bordering on snakeoil salesmen/women. I think the great devs are too busy writing code.
State-of-the-art chip fabrication is still mostly based in Taiwan, with TSMC (as an example: the BR100, China's most recent native flagship gpu, is fabbed using TSMC) - China's own SMIC has appeared to struggle

However, they seem to have been catching up fairly quickly - until very recently SMIC have been stuck around 14nm (state of the art in 2013, SMIC in 2019), but they recently announced they have managed to start producing 7nm chips (state of the art in 2018)

It doesn’t justify but it prolongs it. The so called “resistance” everyone here is encouraged to form and sympathize with, at some point you realize why do I as someone sitting far away have to care so much more when their own leadership and some of their own people in upper echelons are willingly happy to let everything rot including things within their full control?

Suffering is not justified but you can easily throw the argument that Palestinians will be living under the similar rot even if they had one state. I am not making it but at least that’s a plausible argument from the other side and it has a decent chance of happening if someday they gain a country of own.
But we moved away from moving currency in sinkable boats hundreds of years ago. Error in plain old finance today can often be fixed. Do we need to regress back to antiquity?
Orchestrating graph applications with Docker Compose
We all think there's things we need to work on to be better programmers, it doesn't mean that we're not already great programmers.

The real trick is to identify those things that will have a beneficial effect. In my opinion, being able to write tests well is an essential skill for any programmer.

Personally I think switching from Js to Ts won't have a big impact on your ability to program, but learning a new paradigm of programming will have big impact.

Very rarely have I seen a programmer where their typing speed has been their limiting factor - I have seen programmers type a rat's nest of code very quickly though :)
No... This is contracts 101, and furthermore, how fabs want to manage IP.

If you want ARM, you play by ARM's rules. Or you don't get to use the license. Either ARM is about to learn a valuable lesson about knowledge wanting to be free, or Qualcomm is the about to get beaten with the lawsuit bat.

I think it's ludicrous we even bother with this daftness, but seeing as everything has to revolve around money, it is what it is.
Sorry but having watched every race and attended 11 in the last decade+, I know not only that the event you are imagining didn't happen in the modern era, it simply would not happen to any team during any season.

The penalties for rebuilding a car are reason enough. Being able to hide a coded message for "crash the car" would mean it needs to be discussed before the race began. If the driver followed the command it would be at the risk of HIS superlicense, his entire livelihood, not just some race points for some team he's with for one season.

On the face you've offered an unsubstantiated and impossible enigma for another reader to "solve"

If it weren't for extensive F1 knowledge I might even have been confused by your obvious mistaken recollection or troll.
Yeah, but at a certain point of that journey people start getting less opinionated and more pragmatic again. At least that is how it worked for me.

Though yeah I only list languages that are relevant to the specific job when I apply. Sometimes one exotic conversation starter though that hasn't yet worked out.

Kind of ironic that I have too hide some of my programming knowledge because a broad understanding of many languages could allow me to add some really great value to the right company. Hiring prefers narrow-minded specialist though so I will play that part.

Wokeness itself is not a legal obligation (at least for now, but with coming generational changes in the US justice system that could also change), but training is. Finding non-woke HR training firms is a significant challenge though. Recruiting qualified non-woke HR management employees isn't easy either.
But how does Qualcomm need Nuvia's license when it has its own? And having the designs destroyed because of this wrinkle seems pretty rich. The licence was valid when the designs were created, but now they're not because the design (not the licence) was transferred to someone else?
I consider myself a student of fine art photography. I was going to write a bit about how photographers are limited by what they can photograph (I'm jealous of painters' ability to create whatever lighting they like), but it would make for an unwieldy long comment - it's actually something I should probably spend some time writing more longform type post about with perhaps some research.

I haven't been all that impressed with much AI art until I started seeing these Midjourney images, which I do find compelling for some reason. Which makes me wonder if an AI can have a style for lack of a better word. And then - could one AI be used to imitate the style of another? Like I said, there is much that could be thought about and written about.
This obsession with being "great" is unhelpful. The only question that matters is: Do you ship?

Someone who ships practices their craft.
Someone who ships learns seeks out how to get better.
Someone who ships discerns between the new shiny and actually useful.

Mediocre coders who write well - and ship! - may be more useful than an ace developer who can't lay out a plan. It depends on the task at hand.
But it's the actual getting something made.

The related problem that I see actually more often is the "you don't have big data" problem.

You know, in data science, you see people spending hours writing pandas scripts that replicate a few clicks in excel for a one of analysis. You see datasets of a few gigabytes being processed with spark when SQL would be fine. You see ML techniques being thrown at questions that could be answered simply and reliably with basic statistical tests.

Especially in the B2C space a lot of companies, departments, products don't actually have a lot of customers and certainly not many decision makers. The N number is always going to be low. You can just talk to people. Let's say you are doing pretty well and running a SaS with 1000 corporate customers paying a million each - that's a billion dollar revenue - you can just talk to them. Certainly you can just talk to every single person who signs the cheque and those are the only people that matter.

And which is easier - putting together a thorough suite of A/B tests or getting some real customers to use your app on video and talking to them about what they are finding annoying, useful, missing? I see less people do that than you'd think.

I agree with you. I think it's understandable that non-artists commonly associate art with what they interact with or see the most: illustration and decoration, stuff found at artstation, the like.

Surely you have a point that this does not cover the entire world of art, but I think it would be helpful if you constructively explain which parts are less or not affected, instead of calling people ignorant.

As an avid writer/thinker I do tend to write a lot of software on paper first.

But not all! If I am making an arcade game I might jot down the basic idea at most. I spend the majority of my time in a rapid-prototyping mode. I don’t write good code with all of my usual rigour; I write the first thing that could possibly work with the least amount of code possible. In this kind of prototyping mode I am constantly evaluating something you can’t really specify on paper: does it feel good, is it fun?

However I generally throw away that kind of code once I am done with it and rewrite it using my usual methods.

It is useful to practice “coding fast” for that reason. I had spent a good year or so practicing it as a skill. It can be useful. And being able to type fast can help reduce those iteration cycles. The goal is to get from idea to something that works and resembles the idea as quickly as possible.
