I believe that in tech we value innovations (new ideas) over well established principles. Innovation has a way of increasing value in the short term at the cost of tech debt. The issue is that the debt always come due (esp. when the market is in downturn) and then there is a reckoning which leads us to scramble for a way out of the mess. When the market is in an upturn we forget everything and start the process again.

The problem with this is our industry does not establish firm practices and licenses like in other disciplines like civil engineering, legal, medicine, etc. This causes us to focus on tech luminaries as a guiding post of how to behave in the field, which leads to chaos if the tech luminary is dishonest or unethical. We refuse to learn lessons from the past a repeat failure patterns, over and over again.

As technology starts to eat the world, the people affected won't even have the opportunity to respond with laws or regulation, because we have no insight into what the field is going to do next and no way to control what people do.
I've long been surprised at how pervasive bad eyesight is, and often at a very young age. It seems like an adaptive trait. Why is it so common to have poor eyesight? What other aspects of human development suffer so much that seem so important for survival?

I believe that a big problem is that there's very little consideration of accomplishment in anonymous online forums. I'd bet that that majority of immature conversation comes teens or young adults who have very little real world software experience.

I do think we're in a weird situation where people with less experience are likely to speak more. I would engage in these online discussions more when I was a teen/YA but I find myself doing it less and less. It's just not worth the effort to try and write something thoughtful when most people won't even bother to read the whole message before replying.

I'm much more interested in hearing the opinions of people who have actually touch most parts of substantially complex software that is delivering value but I don't think that desire is compatible with most social media.

No. Only if he were the single VC with near market dominance, however he absolutely is not. Fred influences by his words, but he is not setting the market price.

He influences for reasons of his own hidden incentives, but he doesn’t control. He is predicting what other VCs will do.
it is

1- The level and speed of integrations

2- The "New generation" feel (UX/UI)

3- The large investment (Half a billion)

Asana has #2 and #3 but is less integrated (#1). Microsoft is slightly less integrated (#2) and has a slightly less "New generation" feel (#2). And so on...

It is the three points when taken in tandem that could explain it IMO
I was just guessing at what he would write in part 2: if you can disseminate the data rapidly to a network of adjacent satellites, eventually one of those will be in view of the ground station, and if those satellites also have the high-throughput laser capability, then you can really downlink faster.

Your nose is a bit better at humidifying the air before it hits your lungs, so breathing in through your nose makes your throat less likely to dry out.

True, but there might not be a big need for unit testing the glue code. By its very name it doesn't contain much logic to test. Integration tests are more valuable in this case.
I'm currently doing a dive into classic distributed systems papers, mainly from the 70s (actor model, logical clocks, that kind of stuff).

I'd "understood" the concepts before, but now because I am:

- brushing up on my math to understand every equation or proof they drop in there

- reading them in combination with applied stuff that uses the same concepts, ie the "designing data intensive applications book"

- reading over them slowly, I want my fundamentals to be strong and etched into my head

Things are clicking in a way they never did before.

TL;DR - studying compsci concepts, slowly, from multiple angles (completely mathematical to practical engineering) is just a different level of understanding from doing one or assuming your mind will bridge the gap.

YMMV.

It is bizarre to me as an American, to see a de facto embracing of monopolistic, surveillance capitalism on the part of those who directly profit from it via stocks; spoken as if "we" are carrying on.. There are often winners and losers in market changes, but like gambling and tobacco, some industries are made to create losers. In this case it is freedom of movement, privacy and perhaps even political freedom that are the "losers" and you know what? NO
There is a huge amount of agriculture within driving distance of Silicon Valley. The main obstacle is culture, not distance. Most people I meet in Silicon Valley have zero clue how food is actually produced, and lack the proper respect for farmers and ranchers.
I think you will see an approach like mine with a heavy use of AI assistants in creating various elements of the songs first (I will compare 10 melodies I've created with an AI assistant I made to human hit melodies: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoCzMRqh5SkFPG0-RIAR8..., https://osf.io/9nd6x). Most existing tools support this approach, and doing a whole song at once does not seem necessary and it would be much less flexible.
It is funny to watch the deck chairs getting furiously rearranged.

They're really trying to push back-to-the-office to refill all those vacancies, but at the same time companies that are cost-conscious are going to be realizing that if they can cut their rents then they can maintain staff and operations ahead of their competitors.

Once the recession hits, every company is likely to bolt back to remote work and ditch their rents because it is all pure overhead for only the purpose of bosses being able to observe butts in seats.
Thanks for the explanation! To expand: Remix being a fullstack framework (as in frontend and backend), does that mean it will in some way overlap/clash with Tamagui?
Let’s talk about “consulting” and what the word actually means.

First you have people who call themselves “consultants”. But they are really just staff augmentation. Those “consultants” are a dime a dozen and all in, can’t command a premium and would probably be better off working a full time job.

You can find some just as good overseas and a lot cheaper.

Then you have your actual strategic consultants who have “a seat at the table” and talk with people who control budgets. They can charge a premium.

After working with both as a tech lead between 2016-2018 is what made me pivot to getting experience in “cloud” and specialize in “application modernization” - enterprise dev + cloud + “DevOps”.

You have to both have a network and find companies willing to do C2C contracts. Those are also some of the first people to cut during a downturn. You saw that a lot right after Covid.

I now work in the cloud consulting department at AWS. It’s a full time position and my compensation structure is like SDEs.

I would hate to be constantly hustling for clients and take care of all of the other minutiae that I have an entire organization to handle.

Something I hate about stuff like this is people who work for media publications assume everybody else on the internet is like them. It reminds me of the Gawker days. They're all blue checkmark types and assume the world's discourse, the true "zeitgeist" is on Twitter. It's incredibly myopic.

Now that Twitter is crumbling, they're looking for something else, which is fine. But I wish they'd have the self awareness to acknowledge that Twitter never truly was what they thought it was. All social media networks have a niche. Twitter's appeal was to journalists/'mediarati' and people who want to be (or are) important in some way. It wasn't this ubiquitous thing that EVERYBODY used.

Some of us got off Twitter like 7 years ago and have been blogging ever since.

Fakes are not mocks. A fake is an actual implementation of the dependency that runs in-process/in-memory. This means that, unlike with mocks, your test code does not dictate the behavior/outputs of the dependency.

Ideally, service/library owners would write and maintain the fake to ensure that it stays in sync as changes are made to the actual service.
I think there are two main reasons for that:

1) web1 and even web2 was largely by/for nerds. These things eventually became mainstream but there was a non-ubiquitousness for the core concepts or at least audience. We now are asymptotically 100% mainstream.

2) web3 is principally based on “money”, or things that involve money in some way. That will always bring grifters, and the fact that some random non-tech non-SV-idealist-coming-from-the-60s-counter-culture-movement person can now seize an opportunity for a dodgy way to make money will brings lots of those people. Then you add in Miami which seems to be a home to a lot of these things, with a culture that reinforces material displays of wealth, and you have a huge force for not good with whatever web3 is supposed to be.
I think the closest you'd get is Larry David, Kevin O'Leary, and Tom Brady. Wealthy but definitely not anyone of serious power or consequence.
These are all false equivalencies, as you're talking technology and implementation instead of a consumer product or idea. The author is talking about centralization of moderation and audience, not how it's hosted or how that moderation/audience is presented to the user

People moved off of IRC because it was inconvenient for less-technical users, it is far easier to just download an app. That doesn't mean they want those apps to be centralized, or don't want their social media to be fragmented so they're talking to only like-minded individuals.

It is 100% possible that someone creates a technologically-centralized app that allows for a decentralized audience and moderation. I'm not aware of anyone doing this though.

Depends on how fast you run :)

According to [1] in terms of calories burned by a 155-pound person in 30 minutes:

Running at 5mph is equivalent to beach volleyball, ice hockey and basketball, at 288 calories.

Running at 6mph is equivalent to kickboxing, cycling at 15 mph, vigorously swimming laps or vigorous step aerobics at 360 calories.

If you're lucky enough to be able to run a 10mph for 30 minutes (which is fast) doing so is one of the fastest ways to burn calories, burning 562 calories. The only thing listed that uses more calories is cycling >20mph.

Of course, people with their weight under control have a much easier time achieving higher speeds - someone who weighs 230 lbs isn't likely to be running at 10 mph, and they'll probably hit their weight goal before they'll hit that speed.

I agree with you that, with 270 calories in a chocolate bar, it's easy for bad diet to undo the benefits of exercise.

I woke up at 2am with the intuition that light was like a lightning strike across spacetime, with no time and no distance between the emitter and absorber.

Why and how, though. What are the fully-baked implications.
Domain Driven Design. The book by Eric Evans lays out a bunch of concepts and as a developer that had not owned the architecture of a big domain, it was hard for me to see exactly where they fit. But after reading the book a couple times, and then encountering a few tricky domain modeling challenges, I started to see where these patterns add value. Also, as I started trying to describe the cohesive domain architecture of the system to a growing engineering organization, I also clicked on the advantage of having a standardized set of terminology for the problem, rather than inventing your own. It's nice to be able to link to an existing explanation of what a Repository is for, instead of having to name and document your own ad-hoc architectural patterns (or more likely, end up with you ad-hoc architecture being under-documented).

Things like Repositories, Aggregates, Bounded Contexts, and so on are going to be a net drag on your system if you only have a few 100 kloc of code in a monolith. But they really start to shine as you grow beyond that. Bounded Contexts in particular are a gem of an idea, so good that Uber re-discovered them in their microservices design: https://www.uber.com/blog/microservice-architecture/.

ehhh, I think if you watch the cppcon videos, you can get a taste of what the OP is talking about.

The cpp community is possibly the worst offender on some of the points. Speakers walking on eggshells and having to have a laundry list of caveats comes to mind.

It's more mature in the sense that you probably wont see a lot of memes, the insecurity and ego still permeate the venue and community.
Push ups and crunches are not efficient for endurance too, they involve very few muscles to overload your cardio-energy systems. Something like squats and burpies will make you breath heavy much faster, or medium distance sprint running is even better.

Traditionally western aligned non nato countries are probably safe from Russian aggression. Finland and Sweden are 2 votes away from joining NATO as it is. America just has to park troops and equipment in any threatened country and they are essentially immune from invasion. Their military is also a good deal better equipped that Ukraine's was. Finland has the largest artillery capability in western Europe and a strong anti - air capability. Short of nukes, I'm relatively certain Finland would chew up any invading Russian force, especially as depleted and exposed as they are from the war in Ukraine.

> The biggest obstacle is not grokking that programming is a formal system, just like math

I think there's danger in this mindset. Unlike math, programming is always directly tied to real-world problems. And those are defined by humans. Who, as we know, are not very good at being formal.

In my experience, the biggest obstacle is actually not recognizing the informal part. Trying to stay in our own little world of formalities and treating the real world as a nuisance to our grand designs.

Calling yourself a computer scientist might be pleasing to our egos, but at the end of the day most of us are software engineers. We are the conduit between formal and informal. There's no shame in that.

I initially broke into the field having done some freelance work for some people when I was lucky enough to have connections to help funnel in work. A little embellishment + application spam got me into the industry, though it didn’t set me up for success. The first few years of my career were stuck in subpar jobs and to an extent that’s a legacy that still follows me.

If I had to go back, and had the time/money, I think I would take some time to get involved in opens source and try to build up at least a bit of reputation in some project. That’s about the closest thing to experience I can think of and I’ve actually still consider doing that a few times to break into new domains. Ofc that’s a lot of involved.
That is a pretty wild statement. I would assume A/B testing in farming has happened for centuries. Farms are made up of a multitude of fields. And so are a perfect environment for A/B testing. I did A in one field but stuck with method B in the other and saw that the former crops had higher yield, etc. etc.
