A good number of their open source projects fall apart in real-world use. If you visit their repositories you'll often get the sense that beyond working on interesting problems, their engineers have no desire to properly maintain these projects for the next few years. The gamble of relying on a Google product unfortunately also applies to their open source projects.

Well you don't have to use it just because it is added, but it will allow library writers to provide more ergonomic interfaces. This specific type system feature allows for stuff that weren't possible before but make sense and you'd expect to be valid code that compiles:

the most common example is the lending iterator. Have a struct that owns a vector of data. Can you implement an iterator that can return a reference of each item when you call next()? Not without GATs, because each time you return from next() you're creating a new lifetime that doesn't exist in your trait definition.

That's why current standard library iterators are basically structs that own a reference to what you iterate. See the GAT RFC which explains this concept much better than I can:

https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1598-gene...

TL;DR it's not a "new" feature per se but something that could have been present from the beginning without making the language different.

20k is massive for a restaurant, but not the internet.
The $1k figure quoted by OP is not indicative of the average price of licenses in my experience. There are plenty of tools that are $15k+ in the EDA world, and various engineers in chip design orgs are always battling about who gets to use them and when. There are whole teams in big SoC design shops dedicated to managing and procuring licenses.

I was pretty far removed from the license procurement and budgeting aspect of my last chip design job, but IIRC we were in the multi-millions per year in various EDA tool licenses. That figure may or may not have included IP licenses for pre-designed off-the-shelf subsystems.
Facebook has lots of good corners of their products. Marketplace is ok-ish. Events is OK. Even Messenger is an ok sub-app of Facebook.

The one app that’s unusably bad is the “feed” (or whatever it’s called these days). I use Facebook almost daily but can’t understand why anyone would use the feed bit. Even back when it was friends’ posts it was bad. Now that it’s half commercial half TikTok rabbit hole why does anyone even use it?
Don't worry, other people think your code is complex too and they have a hard time understanding it.

The big problem is that you, western people, especially people from USA, see the whole situation through the tiny keyhole where your media project whatever bias they want.

You have no means of access to objective or balanced information. You can't read anything about Russia or Ukraine in the original uncensored form. You can't watch any video from Ukraine or Russia without it being carefully selected by somebody and then translated for you.

E.g. you wouldn't be able to ponder when you see videos of Ukrainian soldiers being killed during combat, why seconds before dying they always speak in Russian, how that resonates with Joseph Brodsky poem last lines: https://russianuniverse.org/2017/02/27/joseph-brodsky-on-ukr...

Our users are financial technology companies. They build things like payroll, loan servicing, business payments, consumer payments, investment platforms, and neo-banks.

When we built Stripe, one of the largest points of friction was getting a banking partner. It took months and only after signing were we even able to start assessing the technology. There are so many potential companies that simply don't make it past the partnership step. We want to fix that.

The US needs a bank (holding a bank charter) that's also a technology company. Increase certainly isn't there yet (patches welcome: jobs@increase.com) but we already have integrations with the Federal Reserve, Visa, and The Clearing House. Our API already serves businesses you know and love.

So what? How is this relevant? The crucial aspect is captured by the analogy: accidental copyright infringement is by and large not possible to prosecute, but deliberate infringement by pretending an accident is.

This temporarily forces chronological feed by most recently posted. My feed of actual people turned into a ghost town.
Yeah, but the original FB did not even have a "feed". Hence these complaints are about an uncontrollable "feature" (a so-called "feed") that no one asked for.

The idea that someone starts using some software or website because it looks useful (original FB had no advertising) and then later the software or website unilaterally decides to morph into something else (FB did this very early on with the addition of a "feed") reminds me of the phrase "bait and switch".

> Can I compose named functions that represent transforms (map, filter, etc.) in a type-safe fashion with each other and have those translate to appropriate CTEs

The Django ORM doesn't use CTEs (yet). It's common however to create and compose custom filter operations which the ORM will then combine into larger SQL queries. A rough example:

def today(qs):
return qs.filter(created__date = datetime.date.today())

def tagged(qs, tag):
# This becomes a many-to-many lookup
return qs.filter(tags__tag = tag)

entries = today(tagged(Entry.objects.all(), "python")

This would build the following SQL query:

SELECT
"blog_entry"."id",
"blog_entry"."created",
"blog_entry"."slug",
"blog_entry"."metadata",
"blog_entry"."search_document",
"blog_entry"."import_ref",
"blog_entry"."card_image",
"blog_entry"."series_id",
"blog_entry"."title",
"blog_entry"."body",
"blog_entry"."tweet_html",
"blog_entry"."extra_head_html",
"blog_entry"."custom_template"
FROM
"blog_entry"
INNER JOIN "blog_entry_tags" ON ("blog_entry"."id" = "blog_entry_tags"."entry_id")
INNER JOIN "blog_tag" ON ("blog_entry_tags"."tag_id" = "blog_tag"."id")
WHERE
(
"blog_tag"."tag" = 'python'
AND ("blog_entry"."created" AT TIME ZONE 'UTC') :: date = '2022-07-30'
)
ORDER BY
"blog_entry"."created" DESC

There are plenty of more sophisticated ways to build abstractions over queries in Django - using custom QuerySet methods for example: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/topics/db/managers/#ca...
Your question is loaded in a different way than you might have anticipated, it presupposes that truth DOES come from psychedelics as well as from reason.

It's true that many people feel a deep connection to and understanding of consciousness during a psychedelics trip. Did they actually gain any knowledge about how their own brains work in the same way that a neuroscientist or ML expert might understand it? I contend that they did not, even if they feel that they did.

In a similar way a drunk might suddenly feel that he has the ability to dance. That's hardly a replacement for salsa classes.

Of course there are exceptions. Many brilliant people take psychedelics and credit them with breakthroughs in their fields, that can't be ignored. But you'll notice that its always _in their field_, ie they were already thinking about a problem and psychedelics offered them a new perspective.
I'd share your surprise; but, I sometimes question if they believed it themselves. I've spent the last 15 years in public companies and if there's one thing "The Street" demands, it's growth upon growth. The context of a pandemic being a once-in-a-lifetime event is meaningless. Your business experienced record growth and we expect you to continue that trajectory of increased growth no matter what--so get to investing for it!
I don't think you understand how people are saying that its not ok just because you've convinced yourself it isn't dangerous. If you were just listening the screen would be off.

Please stop putting others at risk and don't this nonsense. You don't have the right to put other road users at risk just because you've decided you can't be distracted.
This is super important – if you are a chartered/regulated bank that's functioning currently then whatever you claim has merit. Otherwise it is just another software project that's going to struggle to get adoption because they won't have thought through all the regulatory and compliance issues.

I hate to be the one to break this to you, but this is how an extraordinarily large amount of high-level individuals think - they just won't admit it.

If you're able to automate a large portion of your workforce, why wouldn't you? You'll be rewarded for it in every aspect. You'll be praised by the Board of Directors for cutting costs and improving productivity (since algorithms and robots don't have to sleep, never get tired, never call in sick, never get drunk and shit in their husband's bed, etc.). You'll be praised by Wall Street as a "visionary, technologically-minded thinker / leader".

There's zero downside for you.

There's enormous downside for parts of society.

The difference is, I'm willing to admit that when I do this, it's directly to my benefit.

With Trello mobile app I can log on the go.
Is there a distinction between saying a system has something that is provable and untrue and saying the system is self contradictory (and the more generalized layman interpretation that the system is wrong).

I think this is one of the most unfortunate memes that people for some reason still continue to share.

I feel like Diablo is the wrong game to be asking this about, and OP is making some assumptions that don't really ring true to me. I'd be kinda surprised if multiplayer wasn't what the vast majority of the Diablo 2 playerbase was interested in - it's basically an mmo-lite.

It would be nice if Diablo 4 supported offline play but I wouldn't hold my breath.
What is your guidance scale number, the number of iterations, and the chosen sampler? Those would be very relevant to know. Pretty much the most relevant thing aside from the prompt itself.

Setting guidance scale number higher typically results in imagery getting trippier and more surreal with more artifacts. So i feel like that's the main culprit for the artifacts.

I am pretty curious to see how far we can get with this prompt. So I will try playing with it later today and post the results and what I found in a reply to this comment.

Yes, but when your script splits money into random amounts and puts things like "pizza money", "rent" and "happy birthday" into the reference field, across thousands of accounts, most of whom also have a real user doing real transactions intermingled, suddenly it gets a lot harder for the bank to filter.

The bank typically has a rather simplistic set of rules to decide to investigate transactions (because they need to be able to explain how the rules work in a meeting with the government whenever their rules miss someone). Things like "Transaction was over $1000 to a new payee or the reference contained the word 'bitcoin'". The investigation will typically involve a human calling the customer, and sometimes asking for more evidence of what the transfer was for - for example, please send us the receipt for the car you said you bought. It's quite an expensive process for the bank.

So, when someone via the API sends tens of thousands of transfers, the bank is spending lots of human hours verifying some/all of those. "My script sent $55 to some stranger because I won a fully automated bet on the weather" is far harder to verify with documentation too. And when some slip through the cracks, they get in trouble with the regulator.

It's a a reasonable assessment if you accept following three (I think easy to accept) items.

- That the US has a long term goal of preventing a "peer competitor" from arising.

- That the US has a financial and strategic interest in causing the collapse of the Russian Federation.

- The US leadership is capable of intelligent long term thinking (so we have to ignore Trump/Biden).

A quick quote from the last link sounds like classic US policy to me:

"A much more truly ambitious apparent long-term US ambition seems to have been to instigate the breakup of Russia into smaller manageable countries, paralleling the emergence of nations in eastern Europe after 1989. It could then deal with a reconstructed historical Russia of smaller emerging statelets run by competitive elites at odds with each other. These new polities, anxious for revenues, will then, presumably, be eager to sign lucrative commercial deals with US corporations since the entire region is extraordinarily wealthy in raw material resources."

And if we look at the result of the current crisis (I'll quote myself from a post above):

"- Potential collapse of the Russian Federation and the economic benefits this would bring (for the West)

- Solidifying EU support of NATO

- Increased energy sales to Europe at higher prices

- Increased military sales to NATO countries due to new threat

- Increased budget for "the military industrial complex"

- Further the long term goal of preventing a peer competitor from appearing by both weakening Russia and making the EU more dependant on the US both economically and militarily.

- Mutually beneficial German/Russian cooperation is pretty much dead now so no threat of such an alliance appearing in the future."

I think its pretty well played on the part of the US; nothing to be ashamed about. I'm interested to see what happens next.
