You can cut down the duplicate config with webpack-merge package. I start with a common config object that defines loaders, aliases, etc. and it gets imported by my frontend/backend/cronjob/worker targets that simply describe the entry/outputs

I also recommend installing ts-node and writing your configs in Typescript to avoid typos

The screen you see isn’t (shouldn’t) really be deciding anything.

I don’t work for Tesla, but as I understand it their architecture is largely one (effectively a) PC per quadrant.

There are sub modules of course; but as I understand it they are kept pretty dumb relative to the larger controllers.

I agree with your assessment. The reference to “box” makes me think it was definitely the container. I also don’t see the codec called MP4, it’s usually spelled out MPEG-4.
Which is one part of the problem.

But still today you can take an HEVC iPhone or GoPro video and watch it on your PS5 with full hardware encoding. This open source solution doesn't help with that.
It sounds like you are looking for a single cause [0]. Increasing safety in air travel means deeply examining whole systems.

> you don't get broken bundles when the typecheck didn't succeed

ah, I do TDD. easier to let tests give me runtime and behavioral feedback instead of refreshing/setting up hot reloads. I could see how it's frustrating without that. super frustrating to do a quick experiment/demo and satisfy ts if the compiler breaks all the time tho.
Not at all. Everyone that uses reddit fucking hates it.

I used to use reddit constantly and they've killed all the useful subs, made the mobile ux nigh unusable, and turned the user based in to a leftwing circle jerk.

So now I barely ever use it.
Racist policies always have an origin story. Ask anybody who supports racist policies like this and they'll give you a reason, not sure I understand the goal of that though.
“ That said, companies are often wrong to hire externally as they misattribute their problems to their employees instead of to their own leadership. It is easier for them to blame others instead of themselves.”

After talking to a lot of managers it really seems that a lot of them are deeply skeptical of the people they themselves have hired.
Obfuscation of part numbers, or just complete apathy to any type of documentation in the auto world is no joke. Coming from electronics it was a real eye opener when I started working on vehicles as a hobby. Its like the engineering cultures are polar opposites. With electronics I took for granted that I could get detailed datasheets with graphs and measurements down to the millimeter for all but the most obscure parts, easily and for free. With cars and motorcycles I am constantly just measuring parts and hoping the same size parts on ebay will be compatible. In fact I just ordered MAP sensor and oil pressure sensors with no part # match because they look the same so they probably are the same.
I wouldn’t call it a dystopian nightmare, just movies are no longer as engaging as they used to be. Now I can text/send videos pics or voice to any of my friends at any moment I feel. Why should I force myself to watch the boring part of a movie?
if you got small savings, take some time off. if not, suck it up bro you got a fam haha. maybe start talking about it with your wife which could understand you more and give you better perspectives other than strangers in the internet.
Exactly this. I feel there is little reason to watch it these days.
Is ruby considered hard? I think I picked it up in a couple weeks and was productive. C is harder to pick up and be productive just due to the existence of footguns. Scala I thought was harder as well.
Very much disagree. Lazy genius is useless. Hard working, low IQ gets stuff done. Obviously hard working genius is ideal. But without the ability to focus on longer term goals, which grades is an indicator of more so than test scores, your high IQ means nothing.

Mortgages are not simple mathematical operations. Don’t betray your ignorance of modern finance. What the other guy gave you was a simple calculation of a mortgage rate. Actual financial modeling (which is done day in and day out and uses more compute cycles than you can imagine) cannot be done by reducing it to 4 operations. If you think modern mortgages are what the Babylonians worked with, you might as well call a computer a clay tablet.

> paid anything in fractions of a penny?

Yes. Fx operations routinely require sub penny operations. You’re claiming, as someone on a moderately technical (if heavily ignorant) forum, that you’re going to divorce your system for settling with mom and pop outfits who deal with nothing less than a penny - from the system that the same bank may need to use to run highly advanced operations (on the settlement layer)? If so, I don’t know what to tell you except ask you to understand how money works.

You cannot stumble by on low end systems. There are incredibly complicated operations a bank does every single day in volumes of thousands that are not “complicated derivatives” which require much much more than the 4 basic operators. If finance was that fucking easy, any moron could do it. I’m not saying it is particularly difficult but you seem to think finance is accounting. It is not. It is almost anything but accounting.

You’re still missing the point. Sure in storage it may make sense to cut it off at 2 decimals. But you seem to have a bad understanding of financial math in general where you think most of the operations are just the 4 basic operators. While it is strictly true, this is like saying most coding it just loops, so we can destroy the rest of the scaffolding and just put loops everywhere. No need for abstractions. That just sounds ignorant.

>Running the typechecker independently of the bundler is really common in TypeScript

maybe it is common, I can't speak to that but in my opinion a large part of the success of webpack was probably because they bundled the typechecking. Because that's the only workflow that makes sense, imagine a c# compiler that quickly outputs executable IL code but half the time it's broken because it didn't do any type checking and you have to wait for the IDE based type checker anyway. On every build. It just doesn't make sense to work this way, you never want a fast, silently broken build which is what you get with non-typechecked fast builds.
Have you taken one?

It certainly felt like the kind of test that could be improved with practice. Not as easily as the SAT, sure, but certain patterns seemed to appear, in a way I bet I could prep for.

I haven't tested that hypothesis, but if anyone wants to fund me to take a bunch over the next year... let me know ;)

(Why did I take it in the first place? Curiosity. Maybe also a bit of vanity. "Rationality" seems like a false idol to focus purely on in general, for decisions.)

You can sort of tell by the fact that they didn't announce it had. If Azure was bigger than AWS they would, sure as hell, have announced it.

So it hasn't.
> and then busting out the hardcore QA

This thinking seems... backward (or at least overall counterproductive/like more work) to me. Do you not have a test suite? At least, unit tests for core language features? It seems (with all due respect) a bit irresponsible not to have this, it would at least prevent most regressions in tested code for example (such as breaking "for" loops, as someone else mentioned)
LaTeX seems very difficult. Why are you using it for such a basic job you could do with MS Word?

I think the real take away from those stats is that modern Slovenia is actually quite wealthy. Their GDP per-capita is similar to Italy and their HDI is higher.

A lousy demo of that (with syntax coloring!) is here: https://jevko.github.io/interjevko.bundle.html

I hope to work out simple specs for these formats eventually.

You seem to be completely unfamiliar with the research in the field. It is well known that controlling for socioeconomic factors does not substantially impact predictive validity of standardized tests. See for example

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/095679761243873...

> Scores on the SAT (a test widely used in the admissions process in the United States), secondary school grades, college grades, and SES measures from 143,606 students at 110 colleges and universities were examined, and results of these analyses were compared with results obtained using a 41-school data set including scores from the prior version of the SAT and using University of California data from prior research on the role of SES. In all the data sets, the SAT showed incremental validity over secondary school grades in predicting subsequent academic performance, and this incremental relationship was not substantially affected by controlling for SES.

Or this

https://eric.ed.gov/?id=ED562860

> (a) SES is related to SAT scores (r = 0.42 among the population of SAT takers), (b) SAT scores are predictive of freshman grades (r = 0.47 corrected for school-specific range restriction), and (c) statistically controlling for SES reduces the estimated SAT-grade correlation from r = 0.47 to r = 0.44.

There are more studies on this, with rather consistent results. In short, poor students do about as well as rich students when matched on SAT score.

I'm not sure you're making the point you think you are. As I recall the SAT many years ago, there were definitely question forms like X:Y as A:? which rely on vocabulary to some degree but may also be hard (or at least take some extra time) if the form is unfamiliar. Also even a surface-level understanding of some areas of math you realize you sort of didn't really get can be useful. So with that fairly modest knowledge and refresh, you got what's a possibly useful but also relatively modest uptick.
Shouldn’t there be one place I can ask for them to remove all references to me containing my phone number or address? It seems silly to have to do this hundreds of times even if it does work.
Counterintuitively, I'm not really against the deduction. At least as a mostly apolitical person I'll say, I believe it's a net gain for me personally.

But if you were an economic planner the equations involved here are really simple. The more cash you push out to consumers, the harder it is to fight inflation. You could make an argument that it is neutral to inflation if you believe this would mean a cut in government spending that was proportional to the increase in consumer spending, but back here in reality, the government just spends what ever it's going to spend on deficit and prints debt so the meaningful metric is private sector liquidity.
>super frustrating to do a quick experiment/demo and satisfy ts if the compiler breaks all the time tho.

the ts compiler doesn't break though, I think if I understand you correctly then this might be a relict of javascript-tier thinking/workflow. You're saying that you don't want to deal with the typechecks sometimes, that's not how any other language works. You're essentially saying that you want a build that silently works anyway because you know better than typescript, you know this will still result in correct js even though the compiler is shouting errors at you.

I think this is not the right way to look at this, if this is really a very common usecase then Typescript has failed to make truly useful optional typing. Which is actually something I've believed from the start, I was always perplexed when they claimed to be javascript compatible when that doesn't seem to be true at all, you cannot actually genuinely mix pure untyped js and ts code and have it all work seamlessly together. It always complains about adding any types and so on.

The "newer generation" is reacting this way because there is no political alternative being offered. Speaking in terms of the US, where is the party that advocates fiscal responsibility? Not fake "fiscal responsibility" where the Fed gives away trillions of dollars in "loans" to the financial industry while politicians run interference by making a show about legislative spending, but actual fiscal responsibility that respects the inherently-distributed economy. It's been outside the Overton window since the everything-bubble was kicked off by the ending of the gold standard.
I would argue it very, very much matters what you're trying to do. If you're harvesting apples, then sure. Hard working beats IQ. Hell, IQ is a handicap, not a plus.

If you're doing research, you have the other side of the spectrum, IQ beats everything, and hard work can actually prevent you from finding solutions.
Thank you for saying that. I was looking for something profound after reading this, and either the article doesn't explain this new theory well, or it is as you say splitting hairs.
This has been studied. There is a retest effect on most "cognitive performance" tests: scores increase on the first and second re-test, then level off. (i.e. the test scores for the 3rd and 4th time you take the test end up about the same)

If this is your path I'd strongly recommend tenure in a core revenue generating project. Avoid projects in cost centers, especially those that serve small / non-critical business needs or have potential off-the-shelf replacements that could be purchased and integrated into the business. Don't assume that leadership will be rational about replacing an internal system with an off the shelf one, if someone comes along with a mandate for change all bets are off.

Don't assume you can rely on political capital when your area of work is being turned down, odds are there are a dozen other people that are trying the same thing. Leadership would likely want to retain lower cost junior employees with the rationale that they have potential in addition to being cheaper.
Intelligent Cloud is a subset of MS's overall cloud offering (Microsoft Cloud).
Surely that depends - is this a bunch of generic and vague detail-less patents, or do they provide the actual information required to implement the thing it purports to describe.

The core problem with “software patents” in the US sense is that the patent office appear to grant them by default if they are vague, only accepts specific types of pre-existing evidence that they are not new or novel, and once a patent is granted makes it as hard and expensive as possible to challenge the granted patents, and doesn’t allow you to recover costs if you are sued for a patent that is eventually revoked.

All of those thing mean that the specifics of us patent law remain BS, but at the same time I think that everyone on HN does believe that IP should exist, and people should have rights to what they create.
Why would one expect socioeconomic factors to do one or both of:
