It never ceases to amaze me that people will read something this article or comment and just assume Google is correct.
Actually I'm looking to do this for my French business - do you use a service? or just using the urssaf site?
I don't know if this is relevant but I found it fascinating.

I saw a documentary, long ago, about primary school students in China with abacuses. They used the abacuses for mathematics, and they were blindingly fast with them.

And then they stopped using the physical abacuses and just sort of mimed the actions with their hands. And then, later, they stopped using their hands.

So, as far as I could see, they were training themselves to do maths via their muscle memory, and it seemed terrifyingly effective.
It's vendor specific. Some have camera apps that do have scanners integrated, some don't.
HEIF has a ton of issues when you use it with H.256 (HEIC).

But basic usage of it is almost identical to any MP4 video file, it just has a few bits of metadata saying "I'm an image". That's too trivial to be patentable.
It’s worth noting Spotify handles it’s developer community just as bad. They took away the old SDK where you could play songs from Spotify without bouncing off to the Spotify app and replaced it a way worse user experience.
Any question related to this change goes unanswered.
Same with rate limit extension requests for apps.

It’s really hard to feel sorry for them getting treated bad by Apple while they do the exact same thing to their community.
Consider the mind of someone who might believe conspiracy theories like Holocaust denial.

Do you think such a person would be more or less likely to believe in the Holocaust if they found out that all Holocaust deniers had been systematically silenced by the forces that be?
It isn't lobbying, it's uncontrolled campaign contributions.

When spending money is equated with speech, and corporations are given the same free speech rights as people, and you allow anonymous shell corporations... You end up with a corrupted government.
True, I noticed that too. I mean, how low do you value your time to not pay $7/mo for your a project you are spending significant time on?

On the other hand... there is a ton of intangible value in the form of knowledge to be gained from switching tech stacks and hosting platforms. So another way to look at it is, this is a chance to re-evaluate and potentially upgrade your tech stack or skils.
HFT firms require lots of domain knowledge on top of “just” C++. Those quants are elite mathematicians and highly knowledgeable in finance in addition to being great at C++ (or OCaml).

I would say that C++ expertise is often actually “underpaid” compared to its level of difficult. If you’re doing OS stuff in C++ you’re working on something embedded. If you’re doing embedded, you’re probably selling hardware, which has low margins (compared to pure software plays). Meanwhile a Ruby on Rails dev who can iterate their web app quickly can start getting PMF and basically print money.
Well it's not like Twitter will ever officially state:
yeah they just walzted in here and did a bunch of moves that made absolutely zero sense, it was a shit show.
I've been using Google Cloud Run for one of my hobby projects and it worked like a charm. You can have a Google Cloud Build job that takes your GitHub repo from which it builds a Docker image. You make sure that the CMD in the container starts your server. When a request comes in the container is started within ms. You only pay for the storage for the image & the cost from actually executing the container. If you get no requests, it's practically free which is important for my side projects, since there is hardly any traffic.

I tried to get a similar solution with AWS Lambda and API Gateway and it was a huge PITA in comparison.
Do you think I should also document all the bugs I put in my code?

If I knew they were bugs, I wouldn’t be putting them there in the first place. I may be crazy, but a moron I’m not.

Calling it "mysticism" is missing the point of everything Watts said and wrote. It’s essentially anti-mysticism when you get what he’s talking about.

It's a "feature". So you can link to blafoo.advertisinganalytics.com/weird-looking?tracking=link but what the user sees looks like normal and "safe" brand.com
I've found nomad far easier to operate and maintain, and conceptually it's easier to wrap your head around as well. It helps that nomad is just responsible for container orchestration, that's it. You can use whatever you want for ingress routing (I really like traefik).
Oh, I missed this. It now makes sense. Thank you!
On PV price drops, they are pretty much on trend, using Wright's Law.

There's about a 16% reduction in cost per doubling of cumulative production.[1]

If announced capacity expansions and renewables commitments come true, we can expect four cumulative doublings of installed PV modules in the next decade, which drops their price by half.

However perovskites could gazump that. If their calendar lifetime can be made acceptable (currently around 10 years), they offer capital PV module costs about a tenth of today's.

Also a version of Amdahl's law applies. Modules are now under 20% of total system cost: cost like the inverters, the connection to the grid, earthworks, structures and wires, installation labor, and so on, add up.

Putting batteries on the PV farm means most of these costs are only incurred once, for much more electricity produced.

I'm not sure how you could call grocery stores as having "semi-monopoly positions" and being "extremely profitable", when they have razor thin profit margins.

If using Pantone compatible colors in Adobe is necessary for your business you can license the color palette for use in Adobe products and pay the $15 a month for it.

Once upon a time I was writing a few portable shell scripts for Solaris and Linux distros. Limiting the scripts to a common subset of commands was fighting windmills - so often you stuck with something easily solved by one GNU option, but requiring 10+ lines of shell script with UNIXy commands on Solaris.

In the end, it was much easier to just proclaim GNU coreutils as a dependency everywhere, and use g-prefixed versions of commands (gfind, ggrep, and so on).
Pantone formulates, tests and manufacturers bespoke pigments and dyes, then makes the available for purchase.

The creator does have experience producing physical paints and pigments

Unless the creator can overnight formulated inks to my print shop, it is not a practical alternative to Pantone, because Pantone’s business is selling consistency in markets where consistency matters.

I am not saying it is not a nice piece of work, but it is only applicable where consistency doesn’t matter very much…and though that is most of the time for most people regarding most things, what you get correlates with what you pay for.

>The hubris is thinking Tesla engineers (who are offered worse pay and wlb relative to Twitter) are coding masters of every domain. I won't even snipe at their own software here.

Who is thinking that?
What else should have been done? They are just named references to an external library. Now the library is no longer there due to licensing and a perpetual sans-ownership of the software. Seems like null data.

Okay, what if they allow you to see the exact mix of that previous swatch so you can easily migrate away from the Pantone library entirely. That seems like a pretty poor way to handle a business relationship with the likes of Pantone, there would be 0 incentive at that point for someone to explore that (needed?) license on their own.

I'm my no means a scholar of such matters but I don't get than impression of Christianity at all. From the concept of original sin, to the tale of Jesus kicking off in the temple, the embracement of man's flaws seem to me to be one of Christianity's biggest selling points.

Indeed, and Musk wants to ensure that such illegal speech is banned on Twitter.

He has made a clear distinction that the limits of free speech should be governed by law as opposed to by opaque private interests.
That claim has about as much behind it as all of the full self driving claims.
This is exactly what people have been worried about with the shift towards subscriptions instead of outright buying things. You didn't really pay to __own__ a specific piece of software anymore, you're paying for access to it. Because you don't actually own the thing it's subject to changing unexpectedly like this and there isn't really any recourse.
Are we back to measuring performance in klocs? I can get you a bunch of incompetent devs that change hundreds ofines of code a day. All you need to do is change indentation and eols or just rewrite basic stuff too lazy to understand.

I tell everyone within the hearing range of my voice and written word not to listen to the YouTube mashups of Alan Watts. They take his words out of context of the original lectures and turn them into something completely different. And if you need music to listen to Watts, you’ve pretty much missed the entire point of what he’s saying. Sure, people want to feel good, but that can also get in the way of meaning and interpretation.
Semi-linear merge is my favourite too. I'll also often reset soft and hand craft the commits for the PR to lay out the work of the branch so that it builds up logically, and assist reviewers (and future-me) in understanding the structure of the change.
Is there a way to add only certain lines of a file to a commit? Sometimes it'd be nice to say, "only these changes" make it to this commit, while "those changes" will be for another. Easy enough to do when they happen to be in different files, but sometimes that doesn't work out.
I wasn’t intending on enlighten anyone, I was merely responding to a comment.
Let's say you want to reduce emissions by the equivalent of a 1GW natural gas power station.

Option 1: Build enough solar and wind to replace the electricity generated by the power station; in fact overbuild by let's say 30%. You can afford that because solar and wind are cheap. And then build pumped storage to be able to add an extra 300 MW for a few weeks, when you need that. Decommission the natural gas power station.

Option 2: Don't build the pumped hydro. Build instead twice as much solar and wind as in Option 1 above (for less money than in Option 1, because pumped storage is so expensive compared to solar and wind). When they can't provide 2 GW of electricity, fire up on natural gas power station to make up the deficit. Decommission one natural gas and keep one in partial use. Achieve more emissions reductions for less money.

Which option do you choose?

That's true, but functionally NextDNS also has several features AdGuardHome does not that made me switch even though I'd prefer a self-hosted solution all else being equal.

AdGuardHome (and pi-hole) work almost entirely on domain blocklists they regularly download from configurable sources (AdGuardHome also incorporates Google safe browsing). This blocks a lot of stuff, but NextDNS also has options like blocking typo squatting, newly registered domains, domains that are created by domain generation algorithms, and whatever their "AI-driven threat detection" feature is doing. It's hard to tell how useful those features are and there's no reason blocklists couldn't incorporate all those kinds of things. But I have no idea if they do, and outsourcing putting all that together to a service like NextDNS seems like a better solution than a locally hosted option that relies on a user figuring out the right blocklists to use. Although NextDNS also allows you to play with blocklists if you want.

Yeah, you can do that with "git add -i" - it's not got a great interface but once you've learned how to use the "patch" and "split" commands you can generally craft commits with just specific lines pretty effectively.
Oh please, that's a ridiculous assessment of what was said. Coding giant distributed web apps is a very different domain than coding for cars. I wouldn't put much stock in Twitter engineers assessing self driving car code either.

This. The second the company or the persons running the company make more money by burning the bridge with you, they will do so without hesitation.

I know some people who worked for a company which got acquired a while back. The CEO walked away with over $11 million. Every single other employee's stock was worthless (common vs preferred). He could have paid them all out 5 figures and still had millions left over for himself.

Yes, very early on people were speculating about drugs, gas leaks, and such. I don't think that is malicious but mostly a lack of understanding about how dangerous crowds can be and what compression asphyxiation is.

The drugs could be squarely ruled out even as the very first reports came out. Even in the most hedonistic parties, you couldn't get 50 people to take timed doses of the same substance and have them stay together in the very same location until poisoning set in for a group of people of vastly different body weights at the same time...

But if you're talking about a collective response, how about you know... regulating and managing large dangerous crowds like this (I was there last year and it was unsafe then, too...). Or regulating the nightclubs (which are all diabolical death traps, too).

They should be blocking off the entire itaewon-ro from noksapyeong to the hooker hill and keeping track of the people entering and leaving and have a protocol for getting first responders in. A nightclub fire would have been equally or even more deadly, the toll could have been in the high hundreds in that event..
`git add -p` should do it. git works great by "patches", not necessarily by "files", so what you are saying is supported out of the box really well.
Interesting. In the US councils represent different areas of their city or county, and those areas have different political party leanings as well as different economic and community goals, and that’s what brings the diversity to the governing body. There are cities that are too uniform for this to work well, of course.
3rd one?!! Yes please!
It would be interesting to know how successful the system was. I read a translation of the Icelandic Njal's Saga which deals with the traditional Icelandic legal system. What the book describes is basically a decades long blood feud. They had a system of fines for offenses including murder, but the verdicts never settled anything and they just kept killing one another as bags of money went back and forth.

I've got a soft spot for assembly language. I learned it at age 11 or 12 to program my TI-83, and it gave me a huge head start on my computer engineering education. It was challenging, yet it also made the details of what the machine was doing very explicit. Higher level languages, like C and Java, seemed impenetrable to me before learning assembly, but it opened the door to me learning them in high school.

I didn't know I had Kathleen Booth to thank for laying the groundwork.

I don't understand how your question relates to my point.

The compromise position is that you tolerate people's personal definitions and words, e.g., you would not demand they be punished for having or using them.

I'm not saying there is some legal "grounds" you could use to bar somebody from being intolerant of what you say or think, you just asked what a compromise position would be, and tolerance is one and it's what the progressive position was for a long time.
If you use an IntelliJ IDE, they have this— I frequently select just a few lines in a diff viewer and commit selectively what is logically coherent.

Not affiliated, just a big fan.
In terms of burning needs you could argue that AVIF and WebP also don't really fill those, since they are not _that_ much better than JPEG with a good encoder while they lack progressive decode.
I've done 2 due diligence in the last 3 years. Both time I read a large part of the code base, and I read the code reviews of the engineers as well. Codebase to find issues with the code but also liabilities that we'd need to deal with. I read the code reviews to help level set for the engineers.

I've done on paper reviews as well where it was just easier than getting access to the code repos. Sure it's like 50 lbs of paper but whatever. The nice thing with paper is you're basically sorting, you toss the interesting pages to one side and the uninteresting to the other.

Both of these were 20 person companies so I could review the 200-500kloc codebases in around 8 hours. It's not the most fun day :)
I've been following your school of thought as well as the one proposed by the author.

I would argue that your model is a lot freer and will lead to better code quality in the long run, since you're not feeling so restricted when working.

Meticulously crafting commits feel like one of those "good in theory" approaches that feels good but hurts you more than you realize. They're good for workflows where you move commits between lots of (release) branches, sure, but if you're doing trunk-based development I'm going to call it a bit formalistic.
I own an excellent 3D printer (Prusa MK2.5 w/MMU2) but I really want a bigger one (Prusa XL--it's not out yet).

I don't own a laser cutter but I really want one so can experiment with lasering 3D prints.

I don't own a CNC machine but I really want one that can cut aluminum so I can make really strong structural parts and injection molds.
The argument of shipping being the only thing that matters can be used to justify editing files in production without version control.

It seems, then, that using version control would be unnecessary under that logic. Nothing circular about it.

I prefer good commits, and op does not mind (that is preference) but if shipping is the only thing that matters then why use version control?

IMO, because other factors like collaboration and documentation also matter.
