[React-Node Fullstack Developer (Python Javascript Background)] If you are looking for a technical architect for consultation or a full stack developer, who can help you with development, you have reached the right place. My goal is to make sure that my clients are 100% satisfied with the work that I perform and that their solutions are built to increase usability, revenues, and user experience. I can guarantee that the time you spend talking to me will be worth it.

Lucrative for a select portion of games. Like music or acting, video game is a winner-take-all marketplace (or rather, winner take most). The typical video game developer outside a well-known studio is working long hours for comparatively little pay because it's very likely the game is not going to make very many sales and there's plenty of passionate people willing to make sacrifices to work on video games.

As other commenters pointed out, it's not like playing in the NFL. It's more like being a high school football player trying to get into the NFL. Or an actor trying to get a part in a Hollywood movie. The chances of a company becoming lucrative off games is slim.
> Silicon Valley in 2040 will probably look a lot like Detroit does today.

I don't live within 2,000 miles of SF, so I have no dog in this race. However, the fact that SF has the most consistently pleasant microclimate of anywhere in the mainland US (climate change notwithstanding) means that there will always be major demand for living there, unlike in Detroit, whose original draw was as a center for trade on the great lakes and later as an industrial base.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti review: Hobbled and wildly overpriced
I had one of those behemoth AMD dozen-core CPU's with 64gb of RAM, in a desktop. My basic M1 blows it out of the water in terms of how fast it feels.

Some workloads are obviously faster on the big PC, but I haven't been this excited about a CPU since the Pentium 1.

Get a backscenes tour at Disney or go trespass employee-only doors at any shopping mall and you will see what it looks like. Only stuff that is made for consumers gets dressed up nicely.

If you want something that is easy to maintain and change to suit your needs, then you probably aren't going to break out the fancy paint and trim.

>Where did this preference for plain text at the expense of all else come from anyway?

Because it is the swiss army knife of formats and I can do literally anything with it. Your use of 'at the expense of all else' is pretty amusing here, since using a fancier format is going to come at the expense of eschewing other possibilities not supported by that format.

Another thing to consider is the overall speed of the interface. I'm currently shacked up at an insurance company, and if I go downstairs I will see people speedrunning paperwork in an IBM terminal. The company has definitely tried to modernize this interface to make it more approachable, but every layer of paint adds latency and the workers error rate goes up due to the imprecision of it all. The only way this process is gonna get changed is if they manage to put a hands-free automation on it. Even though clock speeds are up, modern UI practices are unbearably slow once you get used to how fast things used to be.

There's no API at the moment to programmatically build your timeline, but that might be something I add down the road.

Hope it winds up being a good fit even without an API.
Git-based SaaS has weak lock-in, unless you waded too deep into platform-specific integrations. Agile-oriented project management, while it tries to have platform specific ways of grouping, labeling, etc. is also weakly sticky because task descriptions are (or should be) what matters.

This is good, especially for small new teams at startups that want to shop different tools before having a lot of stuff to move around.

All SaaS aspires to be sticky because investors told them to be that way. Almost all SaaS with institutional investors has to make stickiness noises. But it is easier for some than others.
Don't the bits come off the wire one at a time at the server as well? Any ability to read() from multiple sockets coming over the same interface is enabled by the kernel reading the data serially and placing it in buffers.
China's social credit score is the future GDPR is working to prevent.

It's actually a bit worse for poor people; they don't get ignored by advertisers and instead are directly targeted for highly abusive lending practices (payday loans, rent to own, outright scams relying on desperation). There's an advertiser for every market segment.

EDIT: I know the economic arguments for high interest loans, but the fact is that they trap poor people in a cycle of poverty. It's no good pointing out that people's long-term economic prospects are quantifiably terrible without using that as an argument for effective regulation and social safety nets to break the cycle.
Really? I think this was extremely predictable. This is implementing the GDPR according to the spirit of the law. That is, to make personal information a liability.

The other shoe was always going to drop.

Any other interpretation including just slapping an "I agree to have my data collected" dialog on top of your product and proceeding as though the law didn't exist has been naively optimistic wishful thinking from adtech's side.

The intent of the law was never to make companies introduce new waivers to their terms of service, or to get websites to have annoying popovers you need to dismiss in order to use them.

> I saw a previous HN comment about this being due to memory bandwidth and cache latency, but I can't seem to substantiate that comment.

I don't know if Apple has released any stats, but it makes a certain amount of sense. The technical reason to put memory and the CPU/GPU on a single package is to decrease memory latency (and possibly boost operating frequency). There's probably also the option to have a really wide memory bus.

Of course, a nice side benefit for Apple is that people can no longer buy 3rd part ram at market rates.

That being said...

> My M1 MacBook is significantly "faster" than my previous Intel 16", even though the per-core performance are roughly similar in CPU benchmarks (small advantage to M1).

The thing about benchmarks is, they're sometimes particular to a specific application, and even data sets. So M1 can be largely tied with an Intel chip across a broad range of benchmarks (e.g. Geekbench), but it can also be a lot faster on your specific workloads.
The difference in HDI between the US (0.921) and say Denmark (0.948) can be entirely explained by the fact that a large portion of the US population is a formerly enslaved minority, and an even larger portion is recent immigrants from the developing world: https://measureofamerica.org/10yearsandcounting. That has nothing to do with socialism, but historical and geographic factors unusual to the US.

Since Pushup is a compiler, one thought I've had is giving the ability to demarcate server-side and client-side code in a Pushup page, and compiling down to WASM for the client-side code. Then the compiler would generate the network code to do the hand-offs.

M1 is a bigger core than any other core I know of. Just larger reorder buffers, wider execution, etc. etc.

Nominally speaking, its inefficient at that point. You pretty much can make 2 cores fit inside of the M1 core, and each x86 core supports two threads (Would you rather have 4x x86 threads, or 1x M1 core??). I'm intrigued that people continue to find benefits from such a large core (even without SMT / Hyperthreading).

--------

But yes, M1 has huge L1 cache, huge reorder buffers, and extremely wide execution. I'd expect it to win clock-for-clock vs any other core in the market.

But I'm not fully convinced that its the best design / tradeoff. Intel's E-cores + P-cores suggests that modern CPU cores may have become overly big.

Simple for you and I, but not so simple if you're a lawyer working for Meta that can twist words and interpretations of those words strung together into sentences in a legal contract. At the end of the day, you and I don't matter in our interpretations. It is the lawyers and judges. Who do you trust?
In the background to all this do note that the "number 2" executive at Meta is a former UK Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg [0].

Meta see the regulatory situation in the EU and UK as a potentially existential risk. They know what they are doing is bad and lobbying is their number one tactic. They are at the "cigarette company" level of trying to prevent regulation of a business model that is ultimately at risk of being legislated out of existence.

> Why do so many... hacker type individuals seem to prefer very brutalist, utilitarian designs over anything more fancy?

> other fields, like architecture

Architecture is the field that gave us Brutalism in the first place. Not an entirely popular choice, too.

Readability is incredibly subjective, and it also depends not only on the individual doing the reading but the setup they have. If you ever have to argue with someone "actually, this is more readable, you're just reading it wrong" you've lost.

There is also the performance issue. Many people believe, with quite a lot of justification, that modern web pages have unpleasantly long interaction delays. I popped over to modern reddit for example and you can see that the subreddit names on each little post item on the front page take a few hundred milliseconds longer to pop in than everything else. When faced with a choice of delay or removing ornamentation, hacker types will always ditch the ornamentation.

One of the things you can no longer really rely on in modern software is typeahead, that is, issuing a string of commands faster than the computer is processing them. There's various situations where either you risk a sudden popup stealing focus and a series of keypresses not intended for it, or a UI element isn't focused and typeable and also eats input until it's ready. Type "facebook.com <enter> some text" at full speed into your browser and see what happens.
I disagree about list comprehensions, as do more than half the people I’ve asked over the years.
Because it's legislating/regulating morality. That's the American Way©, in my experience.

I'm not trying to be a cool edgelord kind, but really. It has appeared, over the course of my life, that most "unsolvable" political issues really amount to trying to do what's "right" instead of what's "good" for society.

Gun control - knee jerk morality issue. Abortion - same thing. Education reform. Prisons and law enforcement. Drugs. The number just goes on forever.

It's because we don't care to have less crime happen. We care that people are appropriately punished for being bad.

It's very frustrating.

Absolutely right: Ian is one of the best Python programmers and technical writers ("blogger" just doesn't capture it) whose prose and code I've ever had the pleasure of reading and using for decades. (I'm still maintaining a TurboGears project using his SQLObject library even today, which I gleefully adopted as a traumatized Zope refugee.) If I had an open position worthy of his talents, I would move heaven and earth to work with him.

It sounds good, but will run into problems when implemented at scale because of greedy people, jerks, and scammers.

You will see a cottage industry of OSS projects that serve only serve the purpose of parting people from their money. This is already something we see in the non profit space. But there the extent of the fraud and the damage it causes is limited because there isn’t enough money to attract scammers en masse.

Is that what the surveillance capitalists call it? Loot and pillage as quick as you can before regulation catches up? These lunatics have had the run of the asylum for over a decade now- it's about time.

Also- that source says nothing about Europe's situation being due to unpredicatable regulation.
Why does all this open source stuff have so many problems? Aren’t there a lot of eyes looking at the code?
This looks great for simple projects, but I'm curious who is working on projects small enough to not be worth a separate dedicated and feature-filled frontend (ala JS/Flutter), but large enough to warrant server-side logic.

That's certainly not to say they don't exist, and Pushup is certainly filling a niche, but my mind immediately goes to those "forgotten" services like email unsubscription and confirmation links.

I think that's pretty telling.

You're not doing "a comparison between different economic systems" in the sense of wanting to compare trade-offs. The picture you're painting is so one-dimensional that it's no basis for discussion. It's just a rallying point for people to argue whether Europe sucks or the US sucks.
>Very few companies (because of previous point 2) can afford to pay good wages and benefits.

Well, it's not ideal, but it's fine if only a few companies can afford to operate in a given field.
I had a 2016 MacBook Pro that was repaired 4 times over 4 years (all free repairs) so I should get the full settlement.

In all cases, repairs were covered for the first 4 years so most of them should've been done for free, the settlement is purely for compensating time and effort.

Even before covid, some prisons eliminated in-person visits and instituted some proprietary and predatory-priced video calling https://www.npr.org/2016/12/05/504458311/video-calls-replace... and even phone calls are super expensive https://www.npr.org/2022/10/23/1130782415/incarcerated-peopl...
I'm sure covid has been used to accelerate the end of in-person visits.
Yeah, I agree with all of that, but I would differentiate slightly between not being hungry and being full. I snack when I'm not necessarily hungry, but I don't snack right after I've eaten a full meal and am actively full.

Anyway, semantics of hunger/fullness aside, the effect of the drug is behavioral - people taking it do end up eating significantly less, which leads to substantial weight loss.
According to what I've read has been that most of the people can be diagnosed with ADHD. I may be wrong. I'll read mor about it.

The only tool that Musk knows how to wield to control others is money. And now he's finding out that that tool is not only pretty blunt but utterly inappropriate in some cases and as a result his whole carefully built up house of cards is shaking and may well fall. Te degree to which he's out of touch is quite stunning to me, those who were his biggest fans are now turning away from him and those that replace them are people you don't want to be associated with, normally speaking.

The biggest + for Bezos is that Musk makes Bezos look like a comparatively sane and nice person (which on an absolute scale he really isn't).
Are you sure about this?

Being roughly familiar with GDPR, I would be reasonably certain that you could keep a like as long as the identity it's attached to is deleted. Much in the same way as you may see reddit posts that just show a [deleted] user.

I have been working to move Uber's stack to arm64 during 2022[1]. We are quite far ahead. I can say the ecosystem to compile stuff is pretty good, at least for our primary targets C++ and Go.

As others have argued, one can learn mathematics without its history, but it is very helpful to motivate many of its abstractions. A good example of this are some of the textbooks of David Bressoud. In a "Radical approach to Analysis", concepts are introduced in historical order. The book starts with the heat equation and its solution by Fourier series which was rejected at the time, in constrast to most books that start with the real numbers and limits.
