My assumption is that these workers were absorbed into the economy of work at home - whether to be a homemaker, or to do childcare or eldercare that would previously have been contracted out, at the expense of the salaried worker, now are being done without pay outside of the auspices of the labor market.
I agree actually...kind of.

And there are good books about software architecture and so on. Unfortunately, for each good one there are at least 50 that are really really bad. There are a lot of technology-related books as well, that teach you about responsive web design with react or stuff like this.

Encoding lessons in frameworks isn't always helpful either in my opinion. Your mental model of the software needs to be correct, otherwise it's just a really painful experience. What works for large scale software is often just pain for beginners.

The cost of renting furniture surprised me.

My wife and I were looking for a dining room table to rent for Thanksgiving. Our house has a dining room that goes largely unused, as its just the two of us and we eat in the kitchen. However, we were having a large party for Thanksgiving and wanted to make sure that everyone had a place to sit, but just for that day, hence the need for a table rental.

She found a great listing on Rent a Center: a perfect table for $24/week. Perfect!

Then we saw the fine print: You couldn't rent anything for less than three months, and late fees were SUPER high.

We would have needed to spend at least $360 to rent this table, which makes no sense!

The kicker? This table was a $500 table.

I feel bad for people that have no choice but to rent furniture.
Baby Boomers are retiring. Boomers are the largest working generation for a long while. Gen-X is the smallest of all groups and there aren't enough of them to fill up the positions. Millennials haven't been upto speed to fill the positions Gen-X left open. Gen-Z is just entering the labor force.

There's a huge investment push to rebuild a lot of places, institutions, manufactures in the U.S to secure the supply chain. Those require lots of workers.

There're just a shortage of labor everywhere.
I've played with ChatGPT in many contexts. For the most part it is like politicians dishing up word salad answers to uncomfortable questions.

When I ask ChatGPT for the rationale or foundations of what it produces, it tends to become evasive. Just like an annoying friend with strong opinions on everything but unwilling to explain the reasoning underlying the pronouncements.
Film grain that is an artifact of the recording media I think is fine, because it inherent to the media (film).

Added film grain to digital to me is very dumb. It is hard for me to think that it is a strong authorial intent and not just a legacy idea that is basically assumed by default because that is how it used to be. Same thing bothers me in games. I can’t even begin to understand why someone wants film grain slapped over a game. Another reason why I think of this as an assumed convention instead of a meaningfully intended or utilized convention in modern media.

You can deliver food with a motorbike or regular bike.

I imagine delivering food in an inner city area on a bicycle is actually pretty decent since your expenses are minimal. I see quite a lot of people delivering on e-bikes daily.
Not necessarily disuputing this, but do you have anything to back up this claim?
What you're talking about seems quite different from what the blog post is talking about.

You're talking about signing up on a toxic instance, and thus getting banned from other instances.

The blog post is talking about signing up on an instance with strict rules, and those rules applying to posts you make no matter what instance the post is on, which makes it impossible to express yourself the way you want anywhere. Note that this doesn't involve toxic instances at all.

The situation is self resolving though. Either they pay more, or they become unable to deliver the service. Since the companies can’t force people to work there, it’s out of their hands.
If you use error codes, you always pay the cost (even cheap) of generating codes. If the function isn’t online able this might increase the stack usage, prevent inlining in the first place, etc.

With exceptions the error paths don’t even have to exist in your hot code.

The cost of exceptions when they aren’t thrown has come a long way since 2011 (the time of that post) in clang and gcc and I’m 99% sure is almost always zero now.
Thank you for this, Merry Christmas.
Thanks for that - now I can't unsee that!
Personally, I'd say "Avoid exceptions" and leave it at that.
> to reduce the tax burden

If you were allowed to sell on the vesting day (open trading window etc) there is generally no way to reduce any tax burden, you are taxed as regular income on the vesting day based on the vesting price, no amount of waiting will reduce your tax liability.
The numbers are cooked.
Another way of saying this is that immigration inhibits wage growth.
I don't know about 30 years but AES-256-GCM has implementations in multiple programming languages, e.g. it can be decrypted dependency free in Node.js >= 10. If browsers were to drop support (unlikely imo), there should be multiple options for decryption provided one has access to a runtime supporting AES-256-GCM decrypt. An older WASM'd version of PHP or python may even work.

I have no use for this myself but wrote a quick Node.js script which accepts an html file created by this tool and prints messages to stdout or saves a file to decrypted.ext: https://gist.github.com/andrewmackrodt/e6a5a2ea7b22d74102ba7... - it's dependency free (no npm install dependencies) and tested with Node.js 10 and above.

e.g. "docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD:/app" -w /app node:10-alpine portable-secret-decrypt.js example-image.html"

When used with the Bart's drivers license it will create the decrypted file as decrypted.jpeg to the cwd.

Saving 90% of your income is great, but it's costing you a terrible commute. If you can use that train time for things you'd otherwise do in free time, maybe it's ok.

This is federal so it is statutory at 54 days per year max.
Maybe you can explain this to me because I never understand this "why work?" sentiment. How do you pay your rent, have food, etc. without working?
> The fault lies with the National Merit Scholarship Corporation .. who seem to expect others to do their work for them.

So why was it not a problem previous years, or with other schools?

Sounds like the school decided to "randomly" start playing the whole malicious compliance card to me.

I seriously do not understand anyone who supports this stuff. It's mind boggling and will be the end of US dominance, if not the eventual end of the US itself.

This is just a tiny tale in a giant story that has been going on for decades. The US primary education system has been systematically ripping out merit and high achiever programs in favor of "equity" since at least the 1990's. You cannot read this article and ignore all other context.

It is very unfortunate that conservatives have thoroughly discredited themselves. Now even when they make reasonable points, people are forced to doubt them. It is a consequence of baseless fear mongering and an unwillingness to take responsibility when those fears predictably do not pan out
Yes and no: OCaml supports exceptions, uses them extensively in the standard library, and most guides encourage people to use them for exceptional cases (i.e. where an error is not an expected use case and the caller probably will just propagate the error rather than try to "handle" it... which I would assert is true for almost all error conditions: you should essentially never "handle" errors or "catch" exceptions), so it doesn't really need such syntax... and yet (apparently? I am not an OCaml developer, having only used it enough to demonstrate it for a class I taught a while back) it was finally introduced in a recent version ;P.

From your specs, it looks like a washer with a smaller than usual hole.

If you need them in large quantities then probably stamp them out.

In small quantities, then drill the holes in a plate and then cut out with a saw. If you pivot the rough cut plate around the drilled out hole, then you could set up a jig and use a bandsaw.

Netflix doesn't give you that option because even if you have a beefy internet connection, streaming high bitrate 4k content costs them a lot too. In Netflix's case (and a lot of streaming providers for that matter), I think the bottleneck is on their side and not the viewer's.

"Better than Twitter" is a very low bar, certainly far below "social network I'm interested in using".

Standing up a private instance is possible but not yet easy, AIUI; you need a server running 24/7, you need your own domain, the mainstream server software can't currently be used with SNI-style shared hosting. I don't know how good the client support for multiple accounts is, and even if it's good, it seems to rather undermine the point of a federated social network - at that point I might as well use old-school forums via something like TapaTalk. Possible is a good first step, but if the system isn't designed and focused on that kind of use case (and the fact that it's not built as a pure P2P system suggests it's not), then it's never going to be easy, and that matters.
Thanks for this! I’ve found a few interesting posts already. Appreciate the link. I’ll update this comment with any specific feedback but I like it so far.
It does in certain places, as I said, but the big mainstream servers don’t do it.

Boring spaces can be really profitable.

Besides that, I agree with you. Many companies already use excel because they are deep into the Microsoft stack. A lot of companies won't pay for another solution to do spreadsheeting.

1. A bunch of it happened "on the blockchain"

2. You can't entirely separate a thing from its effects, the effects of cryptocurrency have been to enable this massive ecosystem of frauds and scams. That may not have been the initial intent, but it's certainly a large part of the outcome.
i'm a fan of donating to more "fundamental" or "essential" projects like

crypto

* openssh => the openBSD project (!)

* gnupg

maybe even

others

* mozilla (!) - you remember: currently the only (FOSS) alternative to webkit/chrome, which start to dominate the ecosystem which is really bad!!

* ...

etc.

A few years back, hotel workers were complaining that hotels were adding more linens to beds such as bed ruffles, to add "luxury", and expecting workers to do the same number of beds per hour. Now it's payback time.
I don’t read it thst way at all, and frankly with woke or not it seems to be a valid point in the discussion which centers around that very concept of the administrators and educators possibly placing their thumb on the scale.

And I still don’t see how that is an entrance ramp to trying to shutdown the point they were making by laying some “invalid due to guilt by association”point.

Just my opinion.
He appears to be right in saying "Type checking is actually a special case of abstract interpretation". The paper that presented Abstract Interpretation to the world concludes:

"It is our feeling that most program analysis techniques may be understood as abstract interpretations of programs. Let us point out ... type verification..."

https://www.di.ens.fr/~cousot/publications.www/CousotCousot-...

That said, abstract interpretation promises that the absence of reports proves the absence of the errors that the sound static analyzer implementing it is designed to catch. Provided that you do not abuse casts/unions, the absence of warnings/errors from a compiler's type checking on a strongly typed language should prove an absence of type errors, which does sound like what abstract interpretation promises.

Lastly, I need make time to actually read that paper. I have only read a very small part of it.
Since everybody else is guessing, I'll guess because it's politically inconvenient for powerful people and they'd like this to be wrapped up next year and keep the investigation as quick and narrow as possible.
> At my last company, I think I likely developed a reputation as someone who preferred to isolate himself, someone who should be exempt from any established company processes

This may be, in part, caused by the dynamics of that one particular workplace. It does not have to mean that “you are that guy” from not on. You may want to engage more the next place because the people and the culture is different.

> I question how many of those people would really want to hire me at their new company

Whatever the impression you left is, this is not you. It’s a footprint of you interacting with particular individuals under a particular context. The real you is not constrained to repeat.

> having technical skills is great, but it's not the whole picture when it comes to being easily employable.

This is great advice.
When we're at the point where we're putting "you need your own domain" on the table, I think we're below the threshold where this is worth debating.
> I did use various deep learning methods as a black box for particular tasks they seemed good at. However, I never really liked doing it and at this point I'm starting to feel like a dinosaur not being able or willing to adapt to the new reality.

I think this is actually the new reality. Only few people will work on (advanced) deep learning model and the users will only adjust them to their use cases and applications.

I do understand your issue though, because I have been feeling the same about deep learning and never really had much of an application in my professional life either. It just takes too much time to get to a level where you can actually generate insights.

Besides, most people who do deep learning that I know are the first to tell you, to stick to traditional ML techniques until it's not enough anymore.

On the other hand I’ve had vastly different experience.

Every single time I went to GPT and ask for anything development related I came back empty handed after being send for the goose chase.

An example of this would be when I asked fswatch to emit one faux event preemptively and it insisted to use “-1” instead (which quits after one event).

I had few instances for more obscure problems where GPT would actually create something I’d call parallel universe of the API. It felt good but such API never existed. Those problems were in JS, Ruby, Shellscript and Elixir.

One of the worst answer I was given was actually really buggy implementation of input controlled debounce function. It seemed correct when running but in reality it wasn’t debouncing but ignoring the output on debounce call.

So yeah, I don’t think I’ll be using GPT for that soon, but it works quite well as a rubber duck equivalent. By proposing dumb solutions I gather my thoughts better. Not sure if that’s something I’d pay for (yet I’d pay for text generating capabilities)

Edit: denounce -> debounce, because autocorrect
We’re optimizing Unreal to work in the web, both for performance and load times.

Our asset streaming system bypasses the need for users to load an entire game upfront. Only what is needed is fetched, everything else is streamed in at runtime in the background. We’ve also implemented basis texture compression, which reduces file sizes and reduces load times further.
I think most serious C++ shops are probably compiling with -fno-exceptions.
