This is a common fallacy. If I say that going slow with the car is better than going fast, I am not saying that the optimal speed is 5 mph.

In a CAD world, there is no reason to use pen and paper and a drafting machine. If I were to start learning technical drawing, how much time would I spend with the drafting machine? The answer is zero hours: there is no "market" for it (is there anyone who asks "please deliver without using CAD"?), it is not preparatory (as I wrote in another comment, is there anyone who is starting to learn how to play tennis using wooden rackets?), and it takes much longer to do anything with the drafting machine than using CAD.

Learning addition and multiplication is preparatory and useful. Being a Luddite is rarely useful.

Sure, and a good point. I should have said they wouldn't do anything special on a song-by-song basis for millions of songs. It's not like someone's pushing the button for each song, or building a list of songs. Those that meet the criteria will be included, whether that is 10 or 10 million of them.
Oh they are planning...

The assessment of Cocky -> Lazy -> Stupid -> Dead is spot on. I haven't gotten super far, but my last run ended because I saw a bunch of 'C' in the next room and didn't bother checking what they were - turns out gravity hounds have a pretty good stun lock. Out of curiosity, what class were you playing?

For what it's worth, if someone told me they beat Morgoth in an interview I'd probably hire them.
How old were the planes that this happened on? There has definitely been a dramatic improvement over the years. I remember flying in the 90's and pretty uniformly feeling like I needed at least a good face wash, if not a shower after any flight longer than a half hour. Now this only happens when I am unlucky enough to get stuck on an old aircraft (i.e. the original westjet 737's still get me with this). I swear I saw a paper on this being tested showing particle diffusion on some newer crafter being really impressive for how it kept your particles around you until they were removed and replaced with fresh ones fairly quickly but I can't remember enough to find a link to the study to back this statement up.
Those approaches are not “fluff” or overly complicated if the problem-space warrants them. There are of course limits.

If you want to write a script for use once or twice, worrying about coupling and cohesion is probably not worth your time. If you are building a system to last 2-5 years out, it absolutely is worthwhile.

If you have a dead simple CRUD problem with very little business rules/operations then DDD isn’t right either. But if you have a complex set of interactions, state, and policies it’s the right call. (The big red book of ddd has a great table on exactly this)

But there are problems out there that are suitable to those approaches. The devil is in the detail; unfortunately a lot of strategic design goes by the wayside to cargo-cult zeal.

But the same can be said for the other way of thinking. I’ve worked/work with engineers who think any form of abstraction is abhorrent and that they don’t need to care about quality because they’ll delete it all and start again (they’ve not tended to care about the opportunity cost of that to their employer, either). Any database interaction looks like ActiveRecord and all technology choices are immutable.

The key in all things is balance. What is simple vs overwrought is almost entirely down to what the framing of the problem is.
While at DoorDash, I have spent my time focused on building and maintaining two isomorphic javascript libraries: one for analytics, and another for experimentation (e.g. feature flagging, a/b testing). These libraries had been my first foray into isomorphic javascript and I had faced many unexpected challenges along the way.

The benefits to isomorphism were clear; DoorDash is in the process of migrating pages from being client side rendered to being server side rendered so being able to use the same code regardless of the environment made migration easier. However, there were times during the process where I began to wonder if the challenges outweighed the benefits. I wrote a blog post here to reflect on the different types of challenges I faced, using a super simple example library to illustrate the points. I hope this guide is helpful to anyone either considering to build an isomorphic javascript, and let me know your thoughts!
> The SEC has already hinted at this, while the CFTC has indicated that only bitcoin is likely to be regulated as a commodity.

I think any token that gains enough prominence in the market is going to eventually fall under government purview. Why? Because when financial crime happens, victims want the government to go after the criminals and recover their lost funds. Crypto fans can't have it both ways: if their goal is to create a financial system that lives entirely outside of government control, then they shouldn't reasonably rely on the government to go after the criminals bringing the entire crypto space down.

The reason that the government winds up stepping in is because the chaos and instability created by this completely unregulated side-chain financial system winds up threatening the Federally backed system as well. Market contagion is real and collapses in one sector or market often reverberate across the entire system.

We're seeing it happen in banking right now: a bunch of banks made small business loans to miners that are now underwater because the price of crypto tanked and the GPU market cooled, so their revenue and equipment value has tanked at the same time.
Yes, it is refreshing to see security as a first-class citizen, instead of an afterthought or add-on like it is on so many other products these days. Do other gateways do this too?
It's a shame, too, because I'm a professional React dev, and I was really excited to try this!

But there's some sort of thermocline-of-trust issue with a self-identified manufacturer of software engineering tools can't correctly detect or name my OS, nor presumably understand why this makes me wary of trusting my development loads to a tool that is packaged in this way. https://twitter.com/garius/status/1588115310124539904

Suggestion to Wix: Go take a look at how another closed-source app with excellent cross-platform support is packaged -- say, https://reaper.fm.

This website lets me pick from several different flavours of Linux in an unobtrustive, practical way.

(I mention 'practical' because I know that the idea of supporting more than one flavour of an OS is seen by newcomers as 'impractical', but that's just how we do business in Linuxville, and since we've been doing it for a while, we've got lots of examples of doing it successfully, practically, and sustainably. Welcome! Sorry about the mess!)

Instead of assuming everyone is on .deb, here are some alternatives:

- Flatpak (most preferred)
- AppImage
- Docker image
- Snap (least perferred)

Once it's possible for anyone to use the Flatpak, say, it makes sense to begin producing artifacts for common platforms like .deb for ubuntu x64 etc. Put your CI/CD on it.

But don't start there. Start with flatpak. Start with appImage. Start, if you must, with a docker image and `localhost:3000`. But whatever you do, don't equate linux with Ubuntu or even Debian, it makes everyone feel weird

But what are their names? That was the standard applied to Haskell.. that the operators needed well understood names. C++ does not have that. Worse still, C++ operators are completely unintellible without context.

For example, '>>=' (commonly called bind in haskell) is well-specified. Anything I see it used with is going to be a Monad, and thus follow certain laws. Examining the imports, I can immediately tell what any operator is.

In C++? Forget about it. The 'left-shift' operator which is supposed to shift bits to the left, can somehow also print things to standard output. In what world can the terminal be bit-shifted left? In fact, we understand this because no one reads 'std::cout << "Hello world"' as 'shift std::cout left by "Hello world", because such a thing is non-sense, whereas '1 << 2' is '1 shifted two bits to the left'.

EDIT: And then, when you add in external libraries, it gets worse. `<<` can be used for creating lexers and parsers in boost if I recall correctly. Completely lawless, and, when you survey the ecosystem, also dangerous. So many bugs in C++ and such due to this.
Huh. I tend to use the first letter of the type, so "s" for a string, "d" for a dictionary, etc. Then "s2," "d2," etc. if there are more than one.
I think that's going to be true of many things but there seem to be at least some things for which pricing can be listed. I had to get an x-ray of my arm recently and there was absolutely no pricing to see whatsoever.

Regardless of the pricing model being per image, time-based for the radiologist, or whatever else, it was simply not available to the person spending the money. Even if it's a different model everywhere you go, it is a near-constant that the consumer does not get to see it.

(I do agree with the points you bring up otherwise!)

>Operating based on a sampling of women I know

How big and diverse is that sample?

>You can slice it 6 different ways but outside of a small minority

How small is that minority?

>the vast majority of women want to "be pretty"

Are you implying that there's an objective idea of 'pretty' as it relates to fashion? That a woman in pants can't be 'pretty'? Can I point you to powerful men in high-heeled shoes in the 10th Century? Lots of women were attracted to that back then, because of what it meant from a societal standpoint.

Or are you implying that it's fine for men to dress in women's clothes? Because if so then why are we here?

>I realize this is a terribly "incorrect" thing to say

It's not 'incorrect,' it's intellectually lazy.

>I personally do not understand why a minority of people choosing alternative, non-birth gender roles needs to be cast into some movement where everyones gender is in question.

Luckily, that's a strawman so you can stop being confused by it.

> History shows us that almost all expressions of gender are fluid

Again, are high heels for boys or girls? History's opinion will surprise you!

Now listen, outside of snark, I understand its hard to see outside of the environment you've lived for your entire life, but this is a forum for hackers so maybe be a little bit more open to people questioning and challenging things you hold dear?

EDIT: You know what, here's one of many phenomenon that you seem to be unaware of:

Although Europeans were first attracted to heels because the Persian connection gave them a macho air, a craze in women's fashion for adopting elements of men's dress meant their use soon spread to women and children.

"In the 1630s you had women cutting their hair, adding epaulettes to their outfits," says Semmelhack.

"They would smoke pipes, they would wear hats that were very masculine. And this is why women adopted the heel - it was in an effort to masculinise their outfits."

From that time, Europe's upper classes followed a unisex shoe fashion until the end of the 17th Century, when things began to change again.

"You start seeing a change in the heel at this point," says Helen Persson, a curator at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. "Men started to have a squarer, more robust, lower, stacky heel, while women's heels became more slender, more curvaceous."

So... the role (controlled) inflation plays in an economy?
All those languages pass by value and it's kind of embarrassing that you mixed it up while criticizing someone else for not knowing it.

One necessary (but insufficient) test you can use to determine if your language has call by reference or call by value is whether you can implement a swap function. In the languages you list, a swap function is not possible to implement, whereas in C++ it is, which tells you that those languages do not implement pass by reference.
The software on the MAX worked as designed/specified; unlike Therac-25 there was no bug in the critical path, it was a series of design and oversight failures pushed by business and cost cutting interests, and the actual accidents were triggered (though I wouldn't consider it causal) by hardware failure in one of the AoA sensors. There was a bug regarding displaying an AoA disagree warning to the pilots, which despite being known wasn't fixed by Boeing, but this wouldn't have actually changed anything about the plane's behaviour.

To the credit of systems engineers, I can't think of a recent high profile fatal accident that could be reasonably blamed primarily on software, but that's not so much because software is infallible, but because systems are designed to fail safe.
I put the odds in the same category as the military overthrowing the civilian government.

It has happened around the world, so we know the threat is very real --- people have leveraged the military to their own ends, right?

So by your same logic, we need to oppose, resist and abolish the military now before it's too late.
>He starts by breathlessly describing how "risk neutral" SBF is and then not long after describes SBFs need for "extreme risk" when looking for his next venture (which led to FTX).

I reviewed that part, and it's not a contradiction[1]. Risk-neutral is the opposite of being risk-averse, and so the former means you favor the riskier ventures. In the language of that paragraph, risk-neutral means you will spend $1 for a 50% + epsilon chance of winning $2, and spend $1 for a 1-in-a-million plus epsilon chance of $1,000,001.

This risk-neutrality, of course, violates the Kelly Criterion and came back to bite him.

This language isn't very helpful. It is likely paid for from general tax revenue. That might be a better implementation but it certainly isn't "free". And if it isn't explicitly paid for via tax revenue it will end up being paid for via inflation if the government spending is out of line with its revenue.
They certainly can raise taxes without improving services, so why not the opposite?

As a parent of a toddler, sleep and housework can still be challenging, but diapers barely even register any more. I hardly remember the sleepless month we had when my kid was about 3 months old. I still have friends and hobbies and an identity outside of being a parent.

Honestly the biggest impact on my life so far is having to keep in mind that there is a developing person following me (both literally and figuratively) and copying exactly what I do and say.

Important work. Thanks to those working on this.
It's very unclear to me why the writer ran everything through GCP and Colab. Having everything on a single environment with near-100% uptime is certainly still possible by renting a VPS, which is usually a much cheaper alternative anyways.

There's also many other alternatives that could be used if memory efficiency is the goal, e.g. polars/data.table instead of pandas, an OLAP database instead of bigquery etc. While I agree that pasting together configs is tedious and annoying, a lot of this type of work is due to developers themselves trying to replicate new trends at $bigco$ instead of optimizing for their own needs.
I agree with you. The problem here is ascertaining whether Fred actually wrote the blog post himself or used AI to generate the post and then pass it on as his own. He offers no solution to that.

I have a Toyota rav4 plugin in europe. Gas costs 1.7€/liter, gets about 6l/100km for about 10.7 cents per km. On electric it goes about 73km for 14kwh which costs about .60€ per kWh which is about 11.3 cents per kWh. Of course the at-home rate is about half this cost so you will do better there, but fast-charge rates are about the same gas and electric.

If your compaction includes application of force vertically, top down, you need something opposing that force. On the Earth it's usually gravity, and on the Moon it could be the same, just the gravity on the Moon is ~1/6 the Earth one.
It's plausible [1] [2].

I am by all accounts neurotypical (except perhaps for a touch of Aspergers) but I have an involuntary tic. Every now and then (like once or twice a week) a memory of some incredibly stupid thing that I once did -- sometimes decades ago -- will pop into my head and before I can re-establish conscious control I'll make a vocalization that sounds like a cross between a whimper and a sneeze. It's kind of embarrassing, but usually I cover it up with a cough afterwards. I don't think anyone has ever actually noticed except me.

Karaoke is the best activity I do with my parents in-law when I visit. They love it. It's kind of fun, actually. The equipment they have is old and they have special CDs with the songs and lyrics, really low quality. Apple Sing through AppleTV, with voice search, would be a huge improvement.
Appliances generally are quite reliable today, and most failures aren't particularly difficult or expensive to fix compared to appliances in the past. But there are also some limiting factors to spreading appliance cost over a long period of time. People may have limited funds (whether cash or credit) to purchase appliances, and if they can, they prefer to have them all up front. While in the past, it may have been reasonable to save up for years to buy a refrigerator, and use a root cellar in the meantime, that isn't socially acceptable today (nor is it a remotely viable expectation for a business to make of their customers). Also, people in the US move relatively often, and so it makes little sense to buy an appliance for the sole purpose of someone else's benefit.
Thank you for the great dialog and questions.

You are exactly right. In artificial hearts you start with water, then glycol water that mimics the specific gravity and viscosity of blood, then dead blood from the Ranch 99, then you can get freshly drawn blood from an animal lab and keep that warm and circulate that, then you put the pump on the outside of an animal and plumb blood in and out, then after passing all that you do an animal implant. You can't use cadavers because they usually have their blood drained.

A parallel of this entire workflow exists for brain cells. You can grow animal neurons in a test tube and teach them to fly a flight simulator. This work was published 18 years ago, likely done a fair bit before then:

I have to remind myself that there are people comfortable with such a 'wild and crazy' lifestyle.

While I wouldn't mind being very well off, I have a visceral gut reaction to any of the sort of flashy spending that draws attention to myself. I also find that it isolates you from the experience of the common man, and life is lonely enough as it is.

I think you've also pointed out the need for unions, though. Lots of employees literally can't afford to strike because it means they don't get paid, even if it's temporarily. That means that your assertion that "if enough others want to" is kinda meaningless.
What scares me about ChatGPT is less so that I’ll lose my job (though it’s possible), but more so that I’ll be using language models to work at higher and higher levels of abstraction doing mainly configuration tweaking. Some of the particular pain points expressed in the article should be removed with AI in the loop development, but it’s another step away from “real programming”, which is what attracted most of us to this field. Yes, creating things is the end goal, but I’m terrified that I won’t be able to extract nearly as much joy when my job becomes largely prompting GPTn to swap out frameworks and UI paradigms for me like magic.
