the best way to look at movies is, "the good guys are really the bad guys, and vice versa". Thanos was right, Darth Vader really did bring balance to the Force, and the Alien from Aliens was really just a pacifist who was looking to maintain a secure home.

Very interesting insight, as you say, probably ORMs instilled this way of thinking, while the primary key is not just constrained to that function I perfectly agree with that.

* at the cost of dealing with long keys creating large indexes and more cache thrashing in the RDBMS. *

This is actually one of the point I'm currently dealing with. Especially finding the right trade-off to manage records in the order of hundred millions/billions, the right decision could save GB of space both on disk and RAM and seconds in computation during each JOIN operation for example.

That's why I drafted out a comparison table, sometimes I see people start using UUIDs right away just because they are offered as out of the box in some ORMs or just because it souds "cool", without knowing that there are better or simplier alternatives out there.
Why not? Twitter hired a TON in the last 3 years and their income didn’t keep up. That’s business that could need correction. That’s part of the cycle.

Oh look: another service that thinks ADHD is an inability to do scheduling or some other bullshit. ADHD is literally a neurological disorder that effects dopamine in the brain. It reduces wakefulness, concentration, the ability to filter out distractions, and the ability to motivate yourself. A software solution won't fix this. What ADHD people need isn't a normie couch to tell them to 'prioritize' differently or a bunch of shitty checkboxes to tick off. They need a licensed psychiatrist to prescribe stimulants which are effective for treating up to 85% of suffers. This service is exploitative, idiotic, uninformed, and deeming. I don't know why YC want anything to do with this. Maybe they thought people with ADHD were desperate marks and a startup could be build around exploiting them. Fuck off with that bullshit. You should be ashamed.

Can you elaborate on this point?
The optimal growth factor is the golden ratio (1.6), in practice many vectors use a growth factor of 1.5.

The reason for not going above the golden ratio is that it prevents any previously allocated memory from ever being reused. If you are always doubling the size of your vector, then it is never possible to reclaim/reuse any previously allocated memory (for that vector) which means every time your vector grows you are causing more and more memory fragmentation, as opposed to using a growth factor of 1.5 which results in memory compaction.
No, I don’t think so. The GOP had the house and senate in 2015, including Ted Cruz, and they didn’t pass or even vote on abolishing social security.

Peas are easy to eat with chopsticks. They are large and squishy. You can pick them a couple at a time. It actually goes quite fast if you are used to it. It’s easier than picking up the last few grains of rice from a bowl something people do all the time.
My problem is finding a good ADHD focused therapist. That task seems hard, so I've never gotten around to it. I'll definitely thought in the past hey I should find an ADHD focused psych... But it never happened.

I just realized part of it is not knowing how to vet them, part is figuring out how to find availability for a psych, and then part is me not wanting to call in to set up my initial appointment.
Chopsticks are regularly made out of metal. Wood is a design choice, not a necessity.

I flew from Melbourne, Australia to Buffalo, NY to see them. Worth the 27 hour flight each way.
Using chopsticks to pick up finger food that's a little greasy, like potato chips, while keeping your hands clean for typing feels great.

I had a roommate that found it hilarious when I did so but I swore by it and still do.

There are special "cooking" chopsticks you can buy that are thicker and longer than normal chopsticks which helps keep your hands away from the heat. Great for flipping things while deep frying in hot oil and more.
It's not really our business if investors want to pay dividends or do share buybacks. One is a capital gain, the other has it's own taxation regime, there are already established taxation rules there.
Because it costs them money. And sometimes you can in fact give feedback.

Also, in boardrooms when sales are discussed, it will raise more eyebrows when there are lots of returned items. In contrast, when only the sales numbers are low, typically the response is to increase consumer-unfriendly measures.

Semantic Diffusion (2006)
Personality disorders are not stereotypes. Symptoms are not blamed on the disease; they reveal it. Would you also say, "let's not stereotype someone as disabled by speculating on whether their leg is broken just because we can see them limping and their bone sticking out?" If the symptoms are visible, by all means, let's help the mentally ill by being honest.

"Jackass" is slang for a foolish or stupid person, and as Musk has degrees in Physics and Economics from Penn, I don't think that remotely fits, unless GP was being kind. "Jackass" is also a synonym for "asshole," which is a colloquial term for narcissist.
The ability to do interactive development in Common Lisp is something you won't find in basically any language. Smalltalk and Forth are probably the only other languages that have similar capabilities (modern Smalltalk images still have zombie processes and unreachable data from decades ago before the implementations had proper garbage collection).

Python REPL can't compare to what CL offers. In CL, I load up a bunch of files and start coding with my codebase running in a REPL. Whenever I make code changes, I can patch in those changes to the running instance. I can try them out instantly. If I've accidentally caused complex conflicts with running code, CL has the tools to deal with them. You can even do this kind of interactive updating against running CL instances (more importantly, you can do interactive debugging against production instances).

In Python, you can have a repl open, but there's not a good way to monkey patch everything. Loading all the things is painful. Stuff like adding new libraries to the repo can cause conflicts. If you update just one definition in a file, you must reload everything which makes those complex conflicts more likely, but Python also doesn't have the tools to solve those conflicts. You aren't getting anything interactive unless you are explicitly running your app in a debugger (and doing this in production just isn't going to happen).

Another fun thing about Common Lisp is dynamic bindings for some things. It's not strictly necessary, but makes certain things a lot easier where you can configure a variable that updates the variable in the called function(s) rather than having to pass it in every time you call those function(s).

Finally, on the macro front, macros are compile time while your Python equivalents are runtime. This is a huge difference when it comes to performance. Python is already dog slow and doing a bunch of dynamic stuff makes that even worse.

For what it’s worth, I recall one factoid from some planet money episode a long, long time ago, that the quality of a supervisor determines roughly 75% of your overall performance. Unfortunately, I cannot cite the episode nor can I cite the source within that episode. If I had to take a guess, it was someone from Harvard business school. The reason why I remember that number rather is because it fits right in line with my experience.

I was much younger in my career then, after after learning that, I immediately had zero tolerance for bad management. It was clear that the only way out was to either jump ship or get your existing manager out of your hair. That’s when it’s crucial to manage upwards. With even bad managers, if you can figure out their motivations, then you can figure out a way for them to leave you alone.

It's also meh. The money gets tied up in the company until the shares vest (my wife had to wait like 8 years or something). It's performance is tied to the performance of the company and you can't diversify. Lots of times it doesn't end up giving you all that much extra. I'd much rather just get a bonus I could invest elsewhere.

ESOPs were invented as a way for owners to cash out. Not really an altruistic thing that works well imho.
I imagine the logic is that if the US has its own domestic chip production and isn’t so dependent on Taiwanese chips, then the US may not care as much if China invades Taiwan.

Where did you get 20-40x the traffic? When their business class dish has basically two dishes built in, and you get, basically double the bandwidth. Unless they are setting up arrays of these things, nobody is getting much more bandwidth than a home user. Otherwise that would mean each site has effectively 20 terminals, and each terminal would cost $2500/mo.

And who in Ukraine are they competing with for bandwidth? Did they start selling terminals to civilians too?

The only way I can see justifying the price, is because ground stations are required nearby, as there is no sat to sat communication yet. Getting internet to a ground station in a war zone might be expensive and dangerous.
Apple does have worth beyond it's stocks because it owns stuff.

Even in the realm of "real" reviews, there's a filtering problem.

As others have mentioned in this thread, many services will just not post a poor review. They have an incentive to make a sale, and a low star rating is going to turn a buyer away. Why push you away from the buy button when you're already on the page?

There's also the problem of incentivized reviews. I'm currently working on self-publishing a book. Standard practice is sending out "advanced reader copies" before you launch. The readers get a free book, you hopefully get some reviews to prime the pump on launch day. So far, somewhat reasonable.

But many of the platforms let you block reviewers. If you're a major publisher using something like NetGalley, you would be foolish not to filter out anyone who's ever handed out a bad review.

At best, the result is honest reviews from a non-representative sample. But it's even worse than that. The reviewers know the game; a bad review will take them off the free book gravy train. So they bias their reviews to not get cut off.

I don't know how you solve the review problem; the financial incentive for getting good reviews is huge. If you're willing to spend money, it is 100% possible to get non-representative or outright fake reviews that are indistinguishable from the real thing.
Can you reframe that in terms of end user benefit?
anger, hostility toward the opposition!
We've made lots of progress on problems like hunger. Despite there being far more people now than 30 years ago, a smaller number have less food than they need (not a smaller percentage, fewer people). To cast that as decline or things going in the wrong direction is bizarre.

And we have probably made net progress on people being closer. Bigotry has likely declined (even if there are still many noisy bigots out there).
AMD? That company shouldn’t be mentioned in the same sentence as Intel. Intel’s profits are more than AMD’s entire revenue.

No, France really is extreme, required that employers let employees do their real work during the notice period, to support their feeling of dignity.
Can you articulate one end user benefit / use case that’s not possible today or that would be better than today?
That's absolutely right, but it's not just large objects. Any situation where you follow links rarely compared to your other memory accesses then the cache performance of links becomes negligible and the benefit of simplicity and O(1) operations can shine. Vectors for scrubbing through things without changing their structure, lists and trees the opposite.

Scrubbing through things quickly is empirically more common, hence the standard advice to use vectors by default.
You don’t need to read every post which is posted on instances, similarly to twitter. You don’t read every post on twitter, but instead follow people, read their tweets and retweets and build a graph which suits your likings.

You can do the same on the fediverse and create your own homogeneous feed.
despite Chinese-American fast food restaurants typically using cheap disposable bamboo chopsticks, metal chopsticks also exist and are used in many restaurants. higher-end restaurants typically use high-quality (heavy) polymer or coated wooden chopsticks which can be thoroughly cleaned in regular dishwashers.

edit to add: I enjoy Chinese-American fast food, but like all fast food, it is designed to be cheap, not luxury. it would be like going to an American-style fast food restaurant and complaining that all American food is bad because it gets your hands dirty when eating, or complaining that the cheap disposable plastic utensils are hard to clean (which gets to another point that disposable wooden chopsticks are probably much better for the environment than disposable plastic forks/knives, but that's a digression from a digression)

> In all the previous titles, each radio station was a loop of about an hour and a half with the adverts and the DJs all mixed in, so I could just EQ the whole thing the way I wanted. This time the tracks are selected randomly from each station's playlist and there are three different DJ intros and outros for each track. Most of the ads appear on several different stations too. We wanted people to be able to play the game for a long time before hearing anything repeated.
It's for storing heat (and cold).

> Have you done the math and figured out how many rocks a home would need, how much insulation, and so whether it's even viable in theory, setting aside practical engineering/safety concerns?

No. But why wouldn't it be viable? And what could be cheaper than a box of rocks? No moving parts, other than a fan your HVAC system has anyway.

>> Once you are practiced, yes it is easier. Chopsticks are a more effective and more versatile tool, assuming you can use them fluently.

“Versatile” =/= “easier”.

My mother-in-law with arthritis and no familiarity with chopsticks would disagree with you that it’s easier for her, today, to pick up a sweet pea with chopsticks vs those pincers.

I would assume that if you presented people unfamiliar with eating using both implements a meal, the pincers would be selected more often. That’s what most people mean by “easy”- simpler and more intuitive.

easy to setup if you're moderately technologically literate

I was all over GPG from the outset back in the 1990s because I was very activated by Phil Zimmerman's crusade to get the source code out. But even for a very tech-literate person it was a giant pain in the ass to use in any other context than a CLI, and for a long time the maintainers obstinately refused to make it easier for a marketplace that was moving to GUI.

There's a really great implementation of it now in Keybase, but although I've used it on and off for several years I've kind of abandoned it because many people found the software/UI too fiddly and inaccessible, so I have nobody else who depends on it.

To my mind part of the problem from the outset was the whole keyring concept and the need to keep track of a bunch of other people's public keys. I have never bothered to do this manually because I just didn't care for the maintenance. I think it might have been better to include PGP keys as MIME attachments or something. Putting the public key as a text block in the body every email just seemed ineffective and aggressively nerdy, like people demanding everyone else pay attention to their sigfile as opposed to just making the information available to interested parties.

Plenty of things are flat out facts and those can be moderated objectively.

When do polls open? When do they close? What IDs do you need to vote? Can you register when you vote? Where are polling places? Did channel X actually call a race? Is the number of votes that voted actually the number the state offices released? Is voting day Tuesday or Wednesday?

Not everything is grey and interpretation based. I’m not looking for them to call if Biden is a good president or Herschel Walker is qualified. Just stop people from committing voter suppression (which is illegal anyway) with demonstrably false facts.

Long tritium production, if the Canadian government would let you..
There was a miss in the expectations from the beginning.

“I was hired as junior and I’m expected to contribute from the off;”

That’s language for being setup to fail. Anyone who hires a a junior engineer or even early mid level and expects quick ramp up, fully flushed designs, instantaneous tickets being finished is delusional and, in my opinion, not fit as a lead at all.

When a junior is brought onto my team
1. I don’t expect them to know anything, they need to learn all of it and sometimes it takes multiple attempts
2. They are not in charge of designs, they take well defined tickets to completion
3. If it fails in production it’s my fault, they need breathing room to make mistakes
4. My ROI horizon is 6 months to a year

Shaming someone for failing never works. If it doesn’t work for important stuff like parenting why would it ever work in a corporate environment.

Twitter has a large off platform impact though. It's where information starts and/or spreads and eventually hits Facebook, less mainstream news sources, and in real life conversations.
Financially yes, but how are you serious when comparing companies only based on their financials and ignoring one of their main products? AMD is currently eating Intels lunch.
git is very consistent! For example during rebase, cherry-pick or merge you solve conflicts the same way.

It has a single switch to force unchanging non-formatted output, to use in scripts, not one different per subcommand.

It was carefully designed, not just adding random flags.
It's an interesting perspective. There's probably a sense in which overall improving a diversified portfolio maps to improving society or the economy as a whole, rather than harming society to make a dollar. So whereas the lawsuit likely has no grounds, it might actually be a good thing if this was the way things worked.
You keep repeating they would abolish this inflation adjustment mechanism, but where's the source? Less claims, more evidence.
