This is unsubstantiated nonsense.
The resale values of iPhones are indisputable evidence that you are full of it.

I'm on the editorial team at First Round Review, and we actually just launched a new series aiming to share more stories about how different founders went about finding PMF. Check it out here: https://review.firstround.com/airtables-path-to-product-mark...

In terms of measuring vs. optimizing, I liked this advice from Sprig founder Ryan Glasgow: https://review.firstround.com/8-product-hurdles-every-founde...

He makes a distinction between validating whether you have PMF, but recommends using a different framework, specifically the Outcome-Driven Innovation method, for discovering or finding PMF in the first place.

> Thought experiment: imagine if the Muslims took power in the US. And they wanted us to live as "God intended". How chill would you be about that?

Realistically, it would depend. There are a large varieties of muslim states. Historically, some have been quite nice to live in. If by 'muslim state' and as 'God intended', they mean a good social safety net, minimal interference in religious liberty, open celebrations of non-muslim worship, but also a return to a more traditional social structure (re-emphasis on married parents, which is in the minority today; stricter rules on divorce; stricter rules on working hours; public acknowledgement that God exists; etc). I would actually think that's fine. Realistically, I don't see how it's substantially different than the civil authority today, which holds plenty of beliefs I disagree with and forces me to pay for them / go along with them.

I honestly don't understand the attempt to scare Christians about Islam. While I am not a Muslim and think it's wrong-headed, the muslims are substantially closer to Christian beliefs (esp when only considering moraolity) than the majority of atheists. I don't see why that's even controversial.

This weirdly ignores that no one wants or expects to interact with their family solely virtually indefinitely owing to distance, and that long-distance friendships made also entailed having met face-to-face before keeping in touch.

A friend online can still be friendship, but more limited in what it can offer. There's no replacement for being with people, it's a fundamental human need. I've been in close-knit online communities in the past and never once did it fulfill social needs. At best it was entertaining.
For sure the wildfires in 2020 were awful. We actually got a level 2 evac warning in the city just outside of Portland. The smoke was so bad that I was replacing filters daily in the furnace running it 24x7 to try and keep the indoor air clean. We normally have such clean air here.

This year we had another wildfire event where it got kinda gross outside, but not at all on the same scale. In 2020 the smoke was so bad that the AQI numbers were literally off the scale, above the claimed maximum value.
I suppose a compatibility shim for features that should not go into the new core could work. It would have a performance cost, but as long as this cost is limited to some deprecated APIs it would be OK.

I tried the "vim" keybindings, but I quickly gave up on it. Helix is a modal editor, but it is not (imnho) a vi/vim-like editor.

It has the potential to be much better at editing code (with a "sense" of the ast) than vi. The trade-off might be that it's slightly more difficult to edit arbitrary/semi-structured text.

I believe (but it's a little early to be sure) that the difference in approach to editing is a net win when working with code.

My advice if coming from vi(m) is to treat helix as a new editing experience - like you would if you were trying out emacs or acme.

The nuanced similarities then to overshadow how helix is different from vim - for better and for worse.

So, forests won't be worked on to prove a point or what? The idea is decades old from at least when railroad companies were dealing with Canadian forests, so it seems like apathy or complacency won and still rules the day. It must have been a pretty good joke if people are still laughing about it though.

I vastly prefer George Smiley to James Bond when it comes to spy-vs-spy fiction (though perhaps Mad Magazine's take on that genre is the best of all). Bond stories consist mostly of one-dimensional heroes and villains and their empty-headed sidekicks, predictably shoehorned into some Disney-style morality play, all designed to improve the public image of the CIA and the MI5/6 (both of whom were very upset about Le Carre's take on the Cold War, and basically seem to have promoted Fleming as an antidote).

Usually, when people these days want an unambigous good-guys-vs-bad-guys storyline, they have to go back to WWII and the almost-universally despised Nazi regime. This is because there's a lot of uncertainly about who the 'good guys' were in the Cold War, or even if there were any. The Berlin airlift looks good for the West, but the effort to perpetuate French colonialism in Vietnam, not so much. There are at least a dozen similar examples on both sides, from eastern Europe (USSR not looking so good) to Africa and South/Central America (lots of bad behavior by the 'pro-democracy West').

John Le Carre famously portrayed the conflict as two giant gear wheels grinding against each other and destroying the lives of people unfortunate enough to get caught in the middle, and his doubtful self-questioning protagonist, George Smiley, though obviously devoted to the West, carries that theme well. Le Carre's "A Perfect Spy" and "The Russia House" are also some of his best works, with similar themes and central characters.

Or just wait long enough for the EU's digital markets act to take effect. But my point stands.
I feel for you. I'd probably be just as distracted as you were if this happened in the middle of an interview, but in the off case I weren't, I'd probably talk the interviewers' ear off. What they seem to not understand is, this kind of correction is natural and perfectly normal when you're writing code. I do it all the time - I think of a small piece of code to write, I write it, and before I'm done I notice obvious improvements, which I do on the fly.

It's not "premature optimization", as it costs me nothing (on the contrary, not doing it will cost me my focus / peace of mind), improves performance of the code - or rather, avoids stupidity - and often improves readability, as the code is now closer to a "pure" description of what it's supposed to do.

I've long held that a big part of why software today sucks so badly is because people don't do this, or likely can't do this. They write stupid code, and never bother to learn how to write non-stupid version of the same code by default.
How do you go about asking it a question like this? I would like to ask it for recommendations in other genres LOL.

I think that you are fundamentally unable to conceptualize how large our forested areas are. As another poster noted, there are 360 million acres of forest in the western United States, and a lot of it is in extraordinarily remote areas. The population of the United States is ~330M, so over one acre for each individual in the country. It takes me a full weekend every year just doing a light spring cleanup in my 1/4 acre yard. How many acres of forest can you personally rake in a day? How much in taxes are you willing to pay to hire other people or machines to do it?

Even though this is old news, I’m curious to know if any of those “attributes” were embellished. I’ve run FB ads myself and wasn’t ever able to find that granular of targeting without deeper relationships, like admin access, with other pages - looks like groups required that if I’m correct?
I think helix mode for gnu read line would be great :)
These ads follows along in the proud tradition of banned ads that were designed to be banned from the onset because saying "we got banned" is useful for positioning yourself as dangerous to the establishment.
Indeed, you can opt out of more of it on Android than you can on iOS. Try to get your location on iOS without telling Apple. You can't. Try installing an app without telling Apple. Same.

Even MacOS is infected with this privacy invading nonsense that I can't opt out of. It has an Apple News app that I can't uninstall, and whenever anybody sends an Apple News link, even in a private tab, it opens the Apple News app, a handler that I can't disable, sending the article I want to read together with my Apple ID to Apple.
As an Italian, I would like to learn how you measured the level of homogeneity of language and culture (on religion I agree with you).

The differences in language and in culture were definitely reduced only in very recent years AFAIK, and still remain noticeable.

About language, you have to consider how many Italians are (still today) effectively bi-lingual, Italian and local dialect, with the latter ranging from very similar to very different from Italian.
This is really awesome, great work! I downloaded a long video from YouTube that is very challenging to transcribe (it is an interview with Hayek, who was both very soft spoken and had a thick German accent) because I wanted to evaluate OpenAI’s claims about whisper being “superhuman” in recognition. It was a bit picky about having the audio in the exact right format (it needs to be 16kHz wav files— would be really nice it just include ffmpeg in the release and automatically pipe any input first to ffmpeg to convert to the desired format), but once it got started it just cranked away extremely quickly on my iMac M1. And the results do seem to be pretty good. I just wish the model also did some basic speaker identification, so it could insert “Speaker1:” or something at the beginning of each line/timestamp. Even if it’s not sure, it could insert “Speaker<?>:” and that would still be useful.
There is not an equilibrium that includes coniferous forests in the sierra south of Tahoe. Those are at this point vestigial fossil forests that cannot reestablish themselves under this climate. Mostly they've been killed by bark beetles, which is a side effect of climate change. Burning them is perfunctory.

> I have three children and have been actively involved in two of their home births. Trust me when I tell you that it's a very interactive process for the mom and everyone involved.

That's great. So have I and I can tell you with 100% certainty that telling your wife to 'stop' while she's giving birth will quickly teach you the answer on whether or not birth is voluntary. Try it next time. See what happens.

While some women may be able to exercise some control over contractions (much like we can choose to hold our breath), eventually the brain will take over and perform the action, whether you want to or not. I know of no recorded example of a woman able to stop labor. If you can find one, I will recant.

Ah! Got me!
I'm active in the /r/stablediffusion subreddit. It seems to me that the techie types are the ones that have taken an interesting in SD. So you see a lot of interest on the tech side of the software. Also,the types of images have a lot to do with games, anime, and ideal fantasy people. It repeats to the point of monotony. There's also a focus on making the images as real looking as possible as if they were photos.

It looks a lot like the Linux vs Apple split. Techs like Linux and creatives like Apple. In this case techs like SD and creatives go to Dalle2(?).
The US-wide heat map aligns pretty well with agricultural and industrial pollution, not necessarily wildfires. Let's not turn every last thing into a climate change debate.

A US-wide view also obscures the air quality where it matters most, which is population centers. They are too small to show up on the blurry, smoothed heat map provided. In population centers (big cities), smog from personal and commercial vehicles is the primary contributor to poor air quality.

I spent Thanksgiving week on Catalina Island and I personally watched the smog roll over greater Los Angeles. However on Thanksgiving Day I woke up and looked east, and the air was incredibly clear like I've never seen. On Friday morning it was still pretty good. But by Saturday the smog was back to normal. The weather was the same all week - this had to do with the number of vehicles on the road in a given day.
I don't always want to be the party pooper and this tech does have a lot of benefits when trying to transmit large items. However, you ain't ging to be video conferring to the moon or Mars with it. Not a single word about latency in the article.
Shouldn't the file type formater handle that?
I have often felt that we just don't take the time/money to build nice things anymore, but after gutting my house built in the 1890s, its clear that shotty construction and "cheap" existed back then as it does now. The stuff that doesn't last gets torn down, while the quality/ornate "lasts."

My house was built fast, by people that were most likely employed in some relation to the port (working class). The house is standard balloon framing, I don't think whoever built it owned a plumb bob and nails are bent over on themselves every other board. It has a facade that is hard not to ignore, it's simple, and they built it one "section" at a time over several years when they had the money or were forced to out of necessity to make room for more family.

And yet, not 10 minutes away are beautiful homes with ornate masonry and corner stones that read 1890, 1895, etc.

To that end, you could say that my house is still standing because of the building materials they used (actual 2x4s from old growth forests, nails that are really more "spike" than nail, a lack of insulation allowing walls to breathe), but I think it was spared and maintained for its utility: it brought shelter to all those that lived there before and so it was maintained just enough.
tldr: don't review linter changes

Run the new linter on all the files. Don't make any other changes. Spot check a few places to make sure the linter doesn't majorly mess anything up. Make sure your automated tests still pass. Merge this change without reviewing every single line.

Now that all your files are "clean", continue making changes and reviewing them like normal.
But that 1969 hardware did that one exact thing and nothing but. No networking, no displays beyond some digits, etc. It was a calculator. No one's calculator is running that large text editor, 20 Chrome tabs, Teams/Slack, Spotify... Yeah, nothing should lag these days but it's not really a valid comparison between today and the Apollo computer.
Does it protect you from Google's tracking? No. And it isn't about me, I don't have Apple or Safari. It's about the fact the privacy shouldn't be "opt in." Claiming that safari has good privacy protections while it by default does the opposite becuase you can opt in to a less inavsive version which many don't even know about is, in my opinion, disingenuous.

If Apple would just go ahead and say "we've extracted tens of billions of dollars from you indirectly by letting google do the dirty work, but here's some encryption that doesn't make up for what we've done and continue doing" that would be more accurate.
Freelancer at 62 here, 40+ years programming and system admin experience. My opinions/advice:

Word of mouth and professional connections work best. With your long career you must know a lot of people who run companies, or still work in the field. And they know people. Word of mouth and referrals remain the best way to get leads.

Freelancers should focus on solving problems. Employees get hired to fill roles. Freelancers don't need a resume. They need demonstrated expertise that they can apply immediately to solving business problems. My approach comes down to getting the (potential) customer to list and describe their top five or ten pain points or needs, in priority order, then knocking those out for them. If you can deliver no one cares about your age or what you did before or where you went to school 50 years ago. Working remotely also helps, because you won't get the "not a good fit with our culture" excuse (i.e. "too old").

If you mean contracting like a temp employee that usually works more like an employee arrangement -- resume, interviews, etc.

You can work through an agency (disclaimer: 10X Management represents me). A good agency does the marketing, contracts, legal, invoicing, payment for you (for a cut). They can expose you to opportunities you would not otherwise know about.

Focus on your strongest skills, don't try to do everything. For example I concentrate on relational databases/SQL (core ideas and techniques almost unchanged since the 1980s), Linux system admin and cloud infrastructure (old hat to anyone who grew up with Unix), and web application development. I started freelancing by finding customers who had abandoned or broken projects (plenty of those, like 60% - 90% of all software projects) and offering to fix the problems. Debugging and maintenance pay just as well or more as green-fields development.

I have several articles about freelancing on my web site typicalprogrammer.com. No ads, sign-ups, pop-ups, or affiliate links. Good luck.
Unfortunately, it seems that this requires all connected devices to be on the latest OS versions (iOS 16.2, macOS 13.1, etc.), which means you can’t use it as long as you have older devices connected to your Apple ID.

It also doesn’t work for Shared Albums, and for other “Shared” features it requires all participants to have ADP enabled.
Absolutely. There are beautiful things today as well, but people choose the ugly thing because of the cheaper cost.
Ironically (to me), the one picture provided basically matches the color palette of the website.
It's a public repo or a PR inside the company where you work?

Anyway, the solution is to ask nicely that the author rewrites the PR with the relevant changes, and then make another PR with the new linter. (Which linter to use, is a project-wide decision. Who is in charge of this?)
My first exposure to computing was playing David Ahl's HAMURABI on a TRS-80 model I (I think) circa 1979-80 in 6th grade (but I think it was reserved only for us in the "gifted & talented" class). We took (or were told) to take it seriously and treat it as a mathematical/logical exercise, so we earnestly worked out all the values to input by hand before carefully typing them in. It must have been brought in specially, as I only ever saw (& used) it once.

The game in question:

> close to the roads, which also tend to be those that burn more often

That's a good point. Maybe we need to do a better job clearing the brush near roads? Seems like that's a common place for fires to start. One careless cigarette, or a malfunctioning wheel bearing that sparks, or a blowout that puts the rim on the pavement. All sorts of things can go wrong mechanically that will start a fire when things are dry enough.

That's always what sort of amazes me. I gather there must be sparks all the time, but normally things are humid enough that it just goes out. When we get a few days of abnormally dry, hot weather, fires seem to start practically out of thin air. Everyone starts getting jittery wondering why people are starting fires. That can't really be the reason, right? The triggers are always there but usually amount to nothing, that has to be it.

What drama? I pointed out that they are State/CIA fronts for propaganda, and that would be taken into account when reading the news.

This isn't drama, it's context.

As for this line "So when you say they are “literally” a front for the state department you are wrong."

Their connections to State/CIA is well documented. This is hardly drama, it's context that would be helpful for people to know when judging information presented. This is basic critical thinking 101 stuff.
