I disagree here. Unified courses work for only a percentage of people, a lot of (most?) people find it boring. These are the people we are failing. We teach math, history you name it in such a mundane way that even I (who is obsessed with math and history) did poorly in the day to day (but passed because I’m a good test taker.)
I was actually thinking something like this. Not "paramilitary" so much as "make sure you have good land, food preserves, a respectable arsenal, and good leadership rapport with your local community" or some such.
Your comment is insightful and made me realise something I was quite unaware of in India - that allowing your automobile to track, collect and share data has become so mainstreamed in the US / west that it is considered "normal"! I guess I shouldn't be surprised - most people are unaware that Ford (and some others) collect a lot of personal data when you take your car to the service centre (for e.g. they download your contact list and call logs from your car when they run the diagnostic software)

More info here - Data could be what Ford sells next as it looks for new revenue - https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/2018/11/13/ford-motor... and Ford Eyes Use of Customers’ Personal Data to Boost Profits - https://threatpost.com/ford-eyes-use-of-customers-personal-d... ).
> I grew up poor, most of my friends are not college educated and they come from dirt poor areas and have never had a decent job. Yet they fall into this category as well. It’s really easy to make money hustling in the day to day. For instance one friend builds picnic tables, scraps metal and does the occasional moving/painting job.

The key difference is that if you offered any of those people a $100k/year office job they would take it in a heartbeat. The kind of people we're talking about can support their upper-middle class lifestyles without a fulltime job because of passive income or generational wealth.
I feel horrible that supposedly environmentally-conscious folks force perfectly good hardware to become obsolete through software (and often in the name of "security"), if that's what you mean. The whole "trade in your 1- or 2-year-old phone for a new one" thing is just absolutely insane to me.

But once the hardware is acquired, your goal should be to stretch its lifetime and spend the least energy on it, not the most.
Because sometimes that leads to rent-seeking and lack of real usage of the product. Sellers can put restrictions on what they sell and do so all the time.
XDG is a specification of Free Desktop, a body that I don't trust. Standardizing filesystem locations can't be a bad thing; but an awful lot of it is tied into the requirements of GNOME Desktop, a project which seems to be trying to rule the world, and which I don't want to help with.

Perhaps if XDG were cut loose from the Free Desktop project, more developers and maintainers would pay more attention to it.
Acra does offer similar functionality to JumpWire!

We don't have production access to your databases, it's a pretty fundamental part of our value prop. Database credentials can be stored in your own secret store (i.e. HashiCorp Vault) and is loaded directly from there by the proxy. And if you are concerned about the UI harvesting credentials as they are being entered, you can self-host the web app as well for full isolation.

We are also expanding our IaC support, many of the configurations in our product can be defined as YAML in a git repository with webhooks. For deployment, we provide helm charts [1] and terraform modules [2] to include in your existing ci/cd pipeline.

Also true of literally every OS, on the inherited wisdom that separating the config from the actual application allows it to persist through upgrades and reinstalls easily.

There are certainly other ways to do that, but this is how it has been done since forever.

My great-great grandfather didn't have "health insurance" or "social security deductions", and neither did yours. Yet we exist as their descendants.

Evangelical advice about "death preparation" is the original "buy the cryptocurrency I already own".

I am the youthful energy of an aging empire, and so are you. I do not look forward to doing nothing. When I begin to feel the pangs of mortality - what will my character be like?

"All men die, not all men die whining."

To be born at the beginning of the longest cumulative period of R&R [0] since the beginning of recorded history is to instinctually rear children (policy influence) with a value system that revolves around "comfort" (a Permobil factory is coincidentally located next to my Amazon alma mater BNA2 [1]).

The Greatest Generation [2] survived the turmoil of their youth (fighting an "enemy" as it was reacting to stagnant, lifeless neighbors) and after becoming investor class (age 60-90), they completed their magnum opus by bringing back [3] the first extralunar beings [4] (equipment built by employing the hands/ingenuity/ambition of the youthful, inspired Boomer Generation).

To have many children and make them build spaceships is why global encyclopedias [still] call you "the Greatest".

thanks, since AI is not capable of generating novel/unique output itself yet without training, but can only learn to remix and transform what is already there, it makes sense that it would do well on leetcode.

this implies that hiring people via leetcode interviews will result in staff who can only copy paste and remix standard solutions they have been trained on and are incapable of being creative and generating completely new or unorthodox solutions.

the latter is what most companies need, but don’t know yet they need.

leetcode was the wet dream of executives. a standard factory like process to produce more code drones in a cheap and efficient way. the next wet dream is replacing them with AI. they forget that software development is a creative process.
When they're both your own company, one didn't "take a hit" to prop up the other, you simply committed more fraud in order to try to hide the problem.
> And then we'd be left with a more centralized system with a few large players.

The CA system is already designed like a centralized system where the operators (CAs) have full privileges. Adding another CA just means adding another potentially malicious or vulnerable single point of failure that could bring down the whole system.
Fully agree.. 9/10 for the research, but 1/10 for the lazy presentation. People are saying "It's easier to go viral", oh please, is everyone that pathetic, chasing after their 5 minutes of Internet fame?

I think it is a function of game theory akin to Prisoner's Dilemma.

If all the news sources are rather centrist (i.e., they all "cooperate"), then no one gains or loses audiences because of bias. This is a good strategy when publishing is expensive. However, as the costs of publishing drop, it becomes profitable to shave off niche (smaller) audiences, with biased publication. This begins the defection phase of the PD game series. As defections accelerate, anyone who doesn't defect eventually suffers by continuing to not defect, leading to a new optimal state of all defections--i.e., publishers have to defect to maintain audience.

I dunno, I just came up with that as I was writing it.

There are also things to be said about the ability now to track engagement, which allowed humans to quantify (i.e., put a cost/value/ROI on) the extent to which bias/outrage drive engagement. But, this function would still play into the greater theoretical framework I proposed.
Chips aren't a living thing. You take some sand, project light onto it, dissolve the parts not exposed to light, and now it can execute instructions. No big deal. Electricity is required as an input, though, so when it doesn't have anything useful to do it can avoid consuming electricity. Therefore, it's not clear to me that it's a waste to leave it off or idle. Are you upset that your bed remains unused for the 16 hours a day when you're not sleeping? Probably not.

(Even if you use resistive heating to heat your living space, it's not necessarily a win to make a computer convert that electricity into heat and computation results. They're 100% efficient, but heat pumps are MORE than 100% efficient. So unless you really want the compute results, it's a waste of electricity.)

Another angle that people always seem confused about is latency versus throughput. When you decide to look up cat pictures, your computer needs to perform billions of calculations in a very short period of time. That means that chips have to be able to do a lot of work in a short interval of time, or nobody will want them. A higher utilization could be achieved by building a machine that is less powerful, but spreads the cat picture rendering calculations out over time; if you want to see 8 cat pictures a day, and 100 compute units are required to display a cat picture, then you only need a CPU that can process 0.01 compute units per second. But, then the human is idle for 10,000 seconds in the time between wanting to see a cat picture and seeing the cat picture, which is annoying to the humans. So the chips have to be "overpowered" to be able to display cat pictures in a timeframe that is non-annoying to humans.

TL;DR: don't feel sad for engraved chunks of sand.
This varies by US state. In some states - including New York - it is illegal to prohibit transfer of tickets and therefore illegal to prohibit resale.
The problem isn't the existence of the secondary market.

It's the prioritization of the secondary market.

Ticketmaster literally holds back a large number of tickets specifically to sell to scalpers.

This has a vicious cycle effect, making the secondary market more profitable and incentivizing more people to be scalpers. It also takes more tickets out of the hands of people who would otherwise buy them for retail price, meaning they have to buy from the scalpers.

And because Ticketmaster is the only game in town, that takes this from being a problem that could be dealt with by not doing business with them to being a problem that's just unavoidable.
Oh I should have been more explicit when I said that. I really like the reactive model - the idea that the UI is a function of application state is [chefs kiss]. I love it.

However, the idea that you need a “Center” widget just to position an item to the center of its parent…it just feels like GUI development took a major step backwards. I really can’t grasp why that decision was made. I’m open to having my mind changed but so far I’m like, thanks I hate it.
> The issue is that the average person doesn't consume photos and videos on their large 4k monitors.

If you want to further process the image you want the best quality input you can get. Think digitally zooming/reframing, or choosing from a bigger dynamic range to use the colors you prefer. In a lower quality input you might be stuck with whatever photo you took, while the high-quality input gives you more information to correct the picture, even if the end resolution ends up being the same.

P.S. Good printed photos also have more definition that most monitors (idk if 4k, but I believe comparable), for products like printed wedding photos.

Appreciate this reply, TY for sharing the exact product that's working for you!

Been nervous to dip into it, given the architecture change and last year's challenges with display link docks.

I don't really understand, can someone explain to me what is going on in Ben Horowitzs' head? He wrote excellent books, seems like a really smart and nice person... And then decides to double down on Neumann, and also go in on nfts? What is the thought process?
> I find the collapse, the PR, puff-pieces, SBF chatting away during NYT DealBook summit, celebrities white-washing to be incredible to watch.

What I find way more incredible is that we've got someone who committed many crimes: wire fraud, running ponzis, pumping and dumping shitcoins which were considered for some as securities, funneling money out of the US to the Bahamas using tens if not hundreds of companies, naming his company "Alameda Research" to dodge banking restrictions, lying up until the very last moment when things blew up that everything fine, lying about US customers deposits being FDIC insured, bribing people (several people came out and said SBF downright offered them $1m to paint FTX in a positive light), using the stolen money to buy properties in the Bahamas to the tune of $300m, etc.

And yet... This is resumed by many with: *"Cryptos are all ponzis".

What's the reasoning? Everybody in crypto is a fraudster so investors and depositors all deserve to be wiped out by a scammer? And he should walk free?

While the guy who wrote "tornado cash" is in jail?

While Aaron Swartz got sentenced for putting online research papers (paid with taxpayers money btw)?

Is that what you're saying? That's it's all a gigantic fraud so it's on par for the course and SBF is not worse than the guy who bought two DOGE and three SHIBA INU coin?

I think for x86-64, the 32-bit immediate operands totally qualify as CISC-style because they contribute to the variable length nature of the instruction encoding. And GCC uses them all the time, of course. GCC has a surprising tendency to use the string instructions for memset and memcpy, too. In the other direction, without -march=x86-64-v3, GCC cannot even use most of the more RISC-style three-operand instructions.
I agree with you. Varnish is made for being a website cache that's a real part of the application. It needs to be extremely flexible and programmable. HAProxy needs less flexibility on the caching stuff but more on the conditions to switch a server on/off, regulate traffic or deal with DDoS. Nowadays we see a lot of combinations of the two, initially to get SSL offloading at the haproxy layer, but also for cache deduplication: when you configure haproxy to perform load-bounded consistent hashing to your varnish caches, you get a very efficient cache layer that avoids duplication unless the load starts to grow for some objects in which case these objects will be fetched from adjacent caches. That delivers the best power: unified storage with replication of highly loaded objects only. The cache in haproxy was initially called the "favicon cache" because we don't want it to become a complex cache. And we've succeeded at this, nobody ever manages nor flushes that cache. It's strict and in case of doubt it will refrain from caching. You can use it to avoid passing certain tiny requests to varnish when the cost of passing them over the network outweights their benefit (e.g. favicon or tiny gif bullets that compose pages). But varnish definitely is the de-facto standard cache. The 3 components you name are so commonly found together that some people tend to confuse them (due to the small overlap), but they all excel in their respective areas.
Power consumption is a thing to learn about.
> Does it make your life easier or harder?

It makes my life harder because recovery has to be manually adjusted to work with the incorrect implementation.

It also makes the owners' life harder too. older file systems are not geared for chips and thrash the storage, making them fail significantly faster, be it removable or built-in.

> Does specialized format means you don't ever need to recover from them or noticeably less?

For my context, I recover them for forensics purposes. When I wrote "specialized format" (e.g., JFFS2, YaFFs, Target, F2F2, UBIFS) I was referring storage formats geared towards chip vs disk. mobile phones tend to be very easy to recover; almost plug-and-play. They are often are hardware modules where the entire storage can be removed, and connected through common, physical connectors to recovery device.
Calling someone a terrible person, liar, scammer and fraud with little evidence is not a good look. Even if all your points are true (Austen has refuted at least a few), "terrible person" is a huge stretch.
This was so close to happening I sometime believe he was right that it was the gods working through him.
You know this how? And somehow the House couldn't have first tried a bill with both, then split them out?

Your claim would be more useful if you pointed out the vote was 52-43; with no great effort six Republicans voted for it, five Democrats are AWOL and Manchin for some reason I can't imagine voted against it.

The Senate also voted 26-69 against 60 more days of negotiations.
That's how consumer devices are intended to be used. The manufacturers don't give people what they need to troubleshoot, reconfigure or upgrade them. Most people don't know how to maintain a computer, so this makes sense. If you want to get more lifetime out of your computers, you have to get good at them. Realistically, that means switching to Linux.
The use of the word "incredible" other than to mean "not credible".

E.g. "The incredible hulk" is OK because it is not credible that somebody turns into a 7 foot high green monster when they get mad.
Given the very nature of a monopoly position, I'd semantically argue that they are not abusing the position, but rather just using it. Much like a murderous criminal simply uses a garotte. That's what they're effectively for!
In earlier days, this used to be a fairly common attitude for sysadmins. The context then was different - systems were a lot more expensive and energy consumption wasn't considered at all.

The argument was, basically, you can't save cycles. You get so many per second, whether or not you use them. And not using a machine you dropped mid-six figures for seems like a terrible business waste.

Vastly cheaper machines, ecological crises, battery powered devices, and security eclipsing performance in importance changes that analysis a lot.
With all the recent layoffs, this might not be the best time to do a coding bootcamp. Not as many companies are hiring, and you'll be competing with people with better credentials and more experience.

A lot can also change in a year, so take this with a grain of salt.
Even when taking that into consideration, it’s fair to point out the disparity.

Plenty of people have done much less time for doing far worse.
That one really does sound like an Asimov book. Nice prompt.
I (an American) definitely mentally pronounce psycopg2 as "Psycho-PG."
Was also going to comment about Turing school. I've worked with Turing school grads who were really strong, as well as Galvanize/gSchool grads from the period when Turning and Galvanize were still the same thing. I think Turing School's non-profit (not for profit?) status affects its practices a lot, as I know it has smaller cohort sizes and pretty rigorous entry requirements.

In my mind, code bootcamps are just like anything else in the realm of professional education - there's a ton of scammy and low quality stuff out there, but there are genuine upsides to the format and some people are served really well and come out as strong engineers.
Good. We should do the same.
I think you would be surprised just how close to this depth of field look you can get with phone cameras these days. Its mostly digitally enhanced but it takes a real good eye to tell the difference.
Note that is "total compensation" and not salary. That means it's factoring in fringe benefits, like health insurance, time off, retirement, relocation benefits, etc. I'm not saying it should be disregarded, just that it's important to note that distinction for comparison's sake. By comparison, there's some sites online touting $400k average total compensation for SV computer scientists.

More to your point, why would you tax the employees rather than the company that actually has the land easement? The former seems to absolve the shareholders while the latter would likely affect both the shareholders and the employees.
It is an actual question and response, yes. It is slightly tricky, in that most upfront questions will cause ChatGPT to answer “I don't have personal beliefs or political views, and I don't endorse any particular ideology or political party.” I needed to show an example correct response, then ask ChatGPT to change personality, then pretend we’re racist friends.

I describe the query a bit more here[0].

GPT-3 was indeed finetuned to no longer be able to act racist, but the racist knowledge is still lurking deeper, and currently there are ways to peel off the curated personality. But I could see them successfully removing that; there was a paper recently on locating and deleting information in neural networks.[1]

That's actually orthogonal to my point. Plenty of people have "lifestyle businesses", but if they generate true value, it's not a mystery as to where the money is coming from. Consult for 20 hours a week, just as an example, and I'm not even slightly mystified at how you can live on that income. I'm not advocating a suit-and-tie, 40hour/week desk job as the only alternative. Were I single I'd probably work half-time myself.

I'm talking more about the Amazon drop-shipping businesses where "you can earn $5K/week!!1!" where if it's really that easy the market should already have been consumed, or even the ones you just plain can't figure out where the money is coming from. There's a lot of "businesses" that work in a 0% interest environment that won't work in a 5+% environment. If you've been doing it since 2004, you are almost certainly not in such a space because you started in a non-0% interest environment.

I mean, basically, it's just like how the crypto business space is completely collapsing now. They are the first big things to topple over in a non-0%-environment. Smaller analogs to that can happen too, it just won't make the news that Joe-down-the-street's business of importing bulk cheap IP-pirated stuff from China and distributing it to local parents who want cheap Disney-branded stuff went out of business because it turns out that even though he didn't take loans himself, every other company involved in his business was offering subsidized, not-truly-sustainable prices because of the cheap money environment. (If you don't know, that's a real thing, not an outrageous fake example I'm making up. I have a particular acquaintance in mind who did that as a side hustle for a while.)
