My story: making real world working products to train and show your skill.

I learn program to make my own products. I made several working products but they didn't work as a business. I need a job to survive.

I tried to use Upwork to get a gig. There was a team hiring enginners. I showed the tech lead my repo and my working web apps. He is impressive. I get hired.

There are some luck involved. It turns out that my tech lead is not a good programmer. Maybe his lack of experitise is why he hired me. I don't know. But it helps to have working product and public codebase to show.

Wish you good luck!
Agreed on the boot camp thing.

I’ve interviewed more than a few folks who got their start with boot camps but couldn’t answer some basic questions about web development.

Not knocking those who are motivated to go through a boot camp, just saying you can’t stop there. The content covered in a boot camp is just a single slice of a much larger pizza.
except this wasn't a targeted attack, it was just a run of the mill shotgun approach to capture wallets.

cryptocurrency is stupid. regulation around banks is there for many very good reasons.

https://twitter.com/peterktodd/status/1609655629903265795

you won’t trust highly regulated banks, but you will trust random strangers on the internet whom you know want your wallet and all the coins in it, without any guarantees whatsoever that any security is in place. you only need to trust yourself, which is already 8-10 orders of magnitude less trustworthy than a bank, AT BEST.

even in the rare event that an established bank does go under, and it holds some of your money when it does, FDIC insurance will get you at least some of that money back. cryptocurrency has zero recourse if you are harmed.

i laugh when cryptobros and NFTbros lose money, because anyone with any critical thinking skills whatsoever saw these things as shams at the outset, and we tried to speak up, but none of those who have lost money even considered listening at the time.

it is hilarious to me when these things happen. i actually, literally, laugh out loud, without a single hint of remorse.
If it was that simple and easy why wasn't he doing it. It's simply a ridiculous failure mode that you can lose your entire life savings with no recourse if you make a silly mistake. What a dreadful idea to foist upon ordinary people as the future of finance. We've never accepted this before and let's never accept this again.

Every random walk down the timeline results in 100% of coins lost or stolen.

> Where is the money to be made?

Drugs are the most obvious. I'm personally familiar with the drug Gleevec, the multi-billion dollar blockbuster drug for Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia, which only about 4–5,000 people get in the US each year. Compared to heart disease and the more well-known cancers (breast, lung, colon), this is a rounding error. When it launched, the cost was $10,000 for a 30-day supply in the US.

Novartis' annual revenue for Gleevec was $4.7 billion dollars before it became a generic drug after patent expiration [1].

The number of people in the US who get CML per year is 5,000; the number who get Alzheimer’s is 100 times that—500,000.

I'm not suggesting revenue of 100x of $4.7 billion to a comparable drug for Alzheimer’s; but 10x isn't out of the question.

Due to the COVID pandemic, Alzheimer's disease dropped from the sixth to the seventh-leading cause of death across all ages in the United States.

This is big market.

> Lifestyle change isn’t something VCs can make a big return on.

It's much more complicated:

Having at least one APOE e4 gene increases your risk of developing Alzheimer's disease
two- to threefold. If you have two APOE e4 genes, your risk is even higher, approximately
eight- to twelvefold. But not everyone who has one or even two APOE e4 genes develops
Alzheimer's disease.

Sure, there are lifestyle issues at play, combined with genetics. At some point, this will get figured out and there will certainly be a way for investors to make a lot of money on "the cure", testing, diagnostics and the required intellectual property.

If these blood tests pan out, the next step will be wearable devices (like glucose monitors) to test for Alzheimer’s markers or including that tech in a future Apple Watch or other future device.

As an example, Apple has already bought several health-tech startups [3]; if a startup develops Alzheimer’s tech Apple can incorporate into it's ecosystem, they'd be ripe for an acquisition.

> Whole population groups around the world get it in a really limited capacity and only at extremely old age if they do.

False—the rate of Alzheimer's is growing globally. It's 50 million people now; at current rates, it will exceed 152 million by 2050 [2].

Like many diseases of old age, people are getting it at increasingly earlier ages.

For example, we used to call Type 2 Diabetes "adult onset Diabetes"; that term is quickly fading in relevance since children get Type 2 Diabetes pretty often these days.

The theory from David Sinclair that diseases of old age, including Alzheimer’s, are the result of a lifestyle the promotes premature aging, people who are genetically at increased risk for Alzheimer’s (by having at least one APOE e4 gene) will continue to get it at earlier ages.

> I didn't fully grok OOP until I saw how composition and dynamic dispatch can be used in real code to create abstractions and flexibly swap out different implementations for your interfaces.

> You could build a chatbot that supports Discord, Slack, and IRC dynamically at runtime...

As a counter-point, OOP isn't necessary for dynamic dispatch.

None of these dynamic features you describe are necessarily any harder in non-OOP languages — or easier in OOP languages.

You can do the same kind of dynamic dispatch in Elixir, Go, etc.

OOP really is a preference, not a differentiator.

Source: I cut my teeth on OOP and used it for many years. Been using Elixir for the last half a decade, and have zero loss of ability to do things like this.
The functionality of the F-91W is simple enough that I don't think a CPU would even be needed. Probably the digital parts of this chip are just state machines. That being said, the left half of the die shot looks like some kind of gigantic ROM, which could either be used by a CPU (as static program memory) or just transition logic/data for any generic state machine(s).

Verilog came out in 1984, but its use for synthesis (i.e. actually compiling text into circuits) was not popularized until much later, after correctness bugs in synthesizers and various other advancements in design tooling came around. It might have been used as a simulation/verification language for the digital portions of this chip.

I think the F1 has largely been an elitist European sport, so the organizers have been able to turn a blind eye to the (mostly liberal) political statements.

Now that it is trying to expand into the States, such one sided speech becomes an issue. Similar to how nascar had been tolerating the stars and bars until it becomes too controversial. ( then of course there is china, who is not a fan of any political statements neither )
On my desktop I have a python script that selects N random words from the list I obtained from the eff website (link below).

Something to note is that the regular "random" standard library module in python is not intended for password generation or cryptographic purposes. Modern python has a module called "secrets" that provides secure random functions using randomness from the OS's CSPRNG.

If I need something like a binary key I just use /dev/urandom directly. You can pipe urandom through something like "tr" to remove non-printable bytes, or remove everything that's not in a set that you provide such as "a-zA-Z0-9!@#$%^&*()".

On Android I use the "pass" app, but I generate the passwords on my desktop and then share them with the phone after encrypting them with the phone's GPG key.

Do other people have to refollow you if you move? Can your client form a single timeline when you’re “actually” following from two different places? It seems inconvenient…
Thanks for the great links and background. I had a couple of questions:

I'm guessing The Blue Book is "thee" book for learning Small Talk then? Are there other resources folks would recommend as well perhaps other books or online resources?

Regarding the bytecode VM, was this one of the earliest languages that ran in its own bytcode VM then? Was this as innovative as it sound for the time? Did it have JIT optimizations as well?

> So, rather than the consumer being responsible for their actions you support consumers engaging in whatever risky behavior they like as long as someone else is there to protect them or give them a do-over?

Yes. Every time you make a foolproof system the world brings us a bigger fool. I'd rather a few irresponsible people get a do-over than otherwise responsible people getting rekt like this.

How hard is it to build a working hackintosh system compared to making a useful Linux install? I've tried Linux a few times over the years (including last year), and every time had to dig deep into terminal commands, tutorials and config files to make basic OS functionality work. If that's what you have to do, maybe it's less of a hassle to build/install a hackintosh system.
In this case the problem (other than weather) was 100% infrastructure: many of these roadways are built below grade, which means that when it rains, they flood. Floods are generally not part of the threat model for Bay Area infrastructure (though perhaps they should be), so when civil engineers trade off drainage vs. earthquake safety vs. land use vs. traffic, drainage is usually the first thing sacrificed. The mid-peninsula had 5 consecutive avenues underneath El Camino & the Caltrain tracks washed out; most of them have been recently rebuilt as grade-separated underpasses as part of the Caltrain electrification project, so that traffic would not need to cross the tracks. They probably would not have flooded as at-grade intersections.

Arguably this was the right choice, as everybody just stayed home during this storm, so real impacts were relatively light. By contrast, Bay Area traffic is a disaster every rush hour, so getting a few folks to take Caltrain instead of driving or avoiding just one collision on the tracks already puts you ahead of the cost of this weekend's storm.
How will that help? Sounds like a behavioral issue that requires correction, not a punitive response. If every rude student got expelled, there wouldn't be many left in school.

Sure, perhaps, but parent’s point still stands that AWS techs are not plugging USB drives into servers, because their threat-model already includes state-sponsored attacks.
Extending a trend beyond the interval it is measured is a big mistake. There are a lot of curves that fit the data in the low talen interval and the extend very differently to the high talent interval.

If you don't want to get too fancy, a cubic polynomial will probably predict a fake huge advantage for teams with very high talent ratio.

I expect something like f(t)=C-expt(t/K) that looks like a quadratic for the low values but it's very flat near the high values.

I found many times good fits with f(t)=A log(t/B)+C.

In any case, the solution is to have a good model and amore data. Both are very complicated here, and extending the trend is a mistake, even as a unsupported conjeture.

I'm not sure if is should be retracted, but if you make a graphic like this in the physics lab, the T.A. will make you redo the whole presentation.

> If you're a criminal

That's a big "if", and it's operating under the assumption that it was objectively correct for the Prime Minister of a civilized nation which claims to be a democracy to invoke emergency powers and declare a group of protestors to be criminals, bypassing due process that a civilized nation which claims to be a democracy should be using to reach that conclusion.

Is that the kind of democracy you'd like to live in, where any group of people can suddenly be declared criminals without due process?
So you’re saying that to use crypto properly, I have to secure a physical object that grants irrevocable ownership of my wealth? That sounds bad.

Is there a way I can get my crypto held my an institution with SIPC insurance, the way I hold stocks at a brokerage, so I can outsource this issue to someone else who is backed by a government guarantee? (I obviously don’t expect them to guarantee the value of the crypto, just that the broker doesn’t lose it).

> Do you feel Paganism or tarot makes a significant impact on your personal life?

It absolutely does. I live it daily. It's not a practice once a week, or on the 8 parts of the year. And I use my honed abilities on a daily basis.

For example, I've learned how to hear some animals talk, or at least impressions of words, thoughts, and feelings. They've taught me some things, like how catnip is called "happy dry". For me, its opening up conversations that normally we just don't have.

Ive also been told by 1 of our cats that before we adopted her, that she was with a "bad family". And the "mean woman" would try to step on her tail.

(I was able to teach myself this by starting with meditation. Took a while, but I could hear thought-words and pictures that didn't make sense. I realized that they were from living beings around me. And talking and meditating, I could hear them clearly.)

There's naturally a lot more, but this is something that is more concrete as an example.. And it definitely makes my life better being able to cross these normally-uncrossable boundaries.

> What can you achieve with tarot other than helping or reading others?

I usually reserve tarot and other divination when a problem is ill defined or there's lots of stuff missing, and you need to an action (nothing is an action). Most problems like this are rather easily solved with pro/con lists and that sort of thing to talk it out. However, sometimes, a problem is too convoluted or too hidden to make sense. That's where I tend to reach for divination.

I'm decently versed in tarot, I Ching, and a few lesser arts. All of them can provide the answers in some form or another, or guidance thereof.

Now, for people starting off, the bigger issue is that some get into what I call "divinatory paralysis", where they do a reading for everything, no matter how small or obvious. It's one of the traps inherent in magick like this. And it can be hard to get out of.

But for most cases, and most questions, tarot is just likely not needed. I tend to use it on the weird issues.

Now, another thing to remember, is that tarot decks, oracle decks, yarrow sticks, are all just instruments. The power to do this is with the human, not the tool.
Schelling Point
I answered you clearly. Ethnic homogeneity is a smoke signal. Ethnic whiteness is exceptional.

You're past my line with ascribing what I think and who from in a way that's literally just you ranting your imagination at me. You have no idea my mind on any of these things based on our conversation thus far.

Talk about the self report...
Interesting- in that case these are some eye popping numbers.

However, I’m struggling to square that fact with the observation that the Wikipedia table shows a number of entries >100%. How could government spending ever exceed 100% of GDP given it is counting toward GDP?

Anecdotal but my F-91W is currently 8s behind my phone, which I sync'd together about 6 months ago. I've always felt very impressed with how accurate it is.
Android’s prevalence should not remotely be considered a victory for the desktop Linux ‘advocates’ because it basically happened almost entirely orthogonally to any of their efforts. The desktop Linux advocates of the 2000 and beyond infuriated me because they were/are in such a bubble that they thought/think that the typical Linux desktop experience was remotely tenable for a civilian, and somehow would mentally blank out all the times they’ve needed to monkey about in the terminal to get something to work.

Of course this entire thing is inconsequential first world problem BS, but within that sphere the desktop Linux advocates certainly don’t deserve to take that W.
> What if you call a public member function from inside the object? Did you re-enter?

It's best to program as if every call to a public function is from client code (i.e. has the same pre/postconditions/invariants). If you need different semantics, it's straightforward to forward to a private or protected function to distinguish the two cases. This is similar to the Non-Virtual Interface (NVI) pattern.

Anyone with a direct or indirect stake in one of the few companies silly enough to throw it on their balance sheet. Since TSLA made the S&P that's basically everyone with a market investment, an IRA, a 401(k), a pension. CPPIB invested in FTX. CDPQ in Celsius. Everyone in El Salvador. It's a bit of a cancer.

Anyways those doing the foisting also includes all the shills, the laser-eyed, the influencers. [edit] It's not enough to say because they weren't forced at gunpoint, it's not coercive or immoral. We don't accept that behavior from people shilling penny stocks. And of course Salvadoran shopowners were in fact coerced with force.
I've have pretty good luck with flowtron after watching an nvidia screencast on it. CPU only inference performance isn't great though.
No, the only thing you need is an infallible memory.
Because it took 5 years from 2015-2020 for unemployment to fall from 6% to 3.5%, and during that period wage growth was between 3% to 4.5%, which is consistent with the Fed's desire to keep wage growth in line with their 2% inflation target adjusted for productivity gains.

The 8% number is motivated by the fact that the economy is highly nonlinear and the Fed really doesn't control how bad the next recession is going to be. It could, of course, be even worse.
I've seen tests like that ("has the mock been called")... and in general I've felt that they were kinda useless.

Thinking about the original TDD approach -- red, green, repeat maybe it's not that bad? I prefer your approach, where you actually verify the state change. But in the absence of that, I wouldn't mind the "call the mock" approach. At least it does change some of the contract?

> Funny how being interested in accountability, transparency and good journalism makes you "a weirdo" worth ignoring.

Yes, that’s correct, because video game journalism literally doesn’t and can’t ever matter, so it doesn’t matter if it’s bad or not. Just like it doesn’t matter that tech gadget journalism or boat owner journalism is bad.
Assuming you’re not committing tax fraud, you’ve already told the local tax authority whatever you’re required to about it. Not an accountant, but in many places then unless it’s income generating, you may not need to declare it until you actually sell it / convert it / use it.

It was kind of painful for me to read this. There are so many reasons someone might not deeply engage in a conversation, and it can feel hurtful, but it's usually not because they are trying to be rude.
