The state has an interest in keeping its cities economically healthy, perhaps more than the city government itself which is focused on appeasing citizens with its delivery of police/recreation services. The state government can act more dynamically since it has a wider voter base to consider, including those who would like to live in the city but are pushed out.

The Valley must maintain some level of competitiveness with other city hubs, else the techxodus worsens and California loses a large portion of their economy and tax revenue. This is an existential threat to California, and the residents of the valley will lose out in the long run.

For me, it's that my ambition far exceed my talent.

How do I deal with this? I try to stop and anchor myself in proven technologies that align with _ME_ not _YOU_ or what _YOU_ blogged about or find interesting. This takes courage as sometimes you'll find yourself off the beaten path. I see entry level folks switching text editors, programming languages, tech stacks, etc. They're enduring through the same thing. It's not your IDE, it's not your color theme, or your background image. It's not an article that you have FOMO over, or some library that you haven't yet discovered. None of these will solve your problems. You have to do real work. You have to anchor yourself in the technology that you want to conquer and stop relying on folks to hold your hand through it.

Stop hoarding information and start building. You may find yourself off the beaten path and you may too discover that your ambition far exceed your talent.

Mine mostly sits because I find the instructions and UX inscrutable. I've made some great ribs, but just as often something goes wrong and the device doesn't warm up enough, or doesn't form a seal and cooks off the liquid or burns the meat.

You don't get any indication that things are going right until the timer starts going down, but that's many minutes after you start it. It also comes with two completely incompatible rice recipes, one of which doesn't use rice mode, and no explanation of why. Just terrible UX.
Agree, and actually less necessary than you think. Sometimes you forget and it’s usually still fine.
The best solution I've ever seen is this Rust library https://github.com/cornucopia-rs/cornucopia

You write plain SQL for you schema (just a schema.sql is enough) and plain SQL functions for your queries. Then it generates Rust types and Rust functions from from that. If you don't use Rust, maybe there's a library like that for your favorite language.

Optionally, pair it with https://github.com/bikeshedder/tusker or https://github.com/blainehansen/postgres_migrator (both are based off https://github.com/djrobstep/migra) to generate migrations by diffing your schema.sql files, and https://github.com/rust-db/refinery to perform those migrations.

Now, if you have simple crud needs, you should probably use https://postgrest.org/en/stable/ and not an ORM. There are packages like https://www.npmjs.com/package/@supabase/postgrest-js (for JS / typescript) and probably for other languages too.

If you insist on an ORM, the best of the bunch is prisma https://www.prisma.io/ - outside of the typescript/javascript ecosystem it has ports for some other languages (with varying degrees of completion), the one I know about is the Rust one https://prisma.brendonovich.dev/introduction
Regarding the caring for elderly part of this article, I want to write a story that's like the Ricky Gervais movie, The Invention of Lying, but instead, it's about the first person to build their own house. Until then, everybody lives in big houses of a hundred or more, sharing responsibilities and taking care of each other but still free to move to different houses if they find a better fit.

I think there's a lot to explore in the effects of isolation that we experience living in our own houses that people are made to think is the only way to live. "A house for every family" is an ideal that many people as virtuous but I think it's instrumental to lots of the problems of our society.
That's quite a simple and sensible answer! Nice work. I might need to assemble some reference material for myself like that.

> Or do you believe that in the long term, profit margins drop to zero?

> If capital is abundant, can companies remain profitable without there being a positive return on capital? (I.e. do those profits flow to entities other than shareholders?)

> ...are steady-state corporate profits zero?

I learned the answers to these questions from economist George Reisman. I recommend his book Capitalism, specifically chapters 16 - 17, where he explains the answers and how he arrived at them. The book is available for free in PDF format here: https://capitalism.net/CAPITALISM_Internet.pdf

In short, the net amount of profit in the economy every year is the sum of the "net investment" plus "net consumption" during that year. "Net investment" and "net consumption" are both precisely defined in the text. Net investment is related to the changes in money supply and to the difference between the marginal productivity of capital versus the current rate of profit. And net consumption is related to the consumption behaviors of capital owners and the government. There is no general tendency towards a zero rate of aggregate net profit since there is no general tendency towards aggregate net investment + net consumption being zero.

Why would Coinbase or any other exchange ever support Monero? It's only usecase is illegitimate payments, the risk isn't worth Coinbase adding it.

Consider bank transfer instead.
Uh, no, there would be no options other than home ownership or homelessness (or government housing projects, which are only options in certain areas and are always pretty bad).

Rentals don't just exist without landlords to own and maintain them. No apartment buildings would get built if there weren't landlords ready to buy them from the property developers. The existing ones would be left vacant because it would be cheaper than filling them and keeping them habitable.

Every time the government makes it harder to be a landlord, they also make it harder to be a renter. Even well-intentioned programs like rent control always end up impacting the majority of renters negatively.

If you are a renter, the best thing you can do for yourself is to advocate for more housing and more landlords to rent it from. It's supply and demand.
This works great for me! I use it to rip out dallisgrass weeds, which can not be pulled out by hand and they are very hard to kill with chemicals (at least without also killing your grass as well). After using this, those weeds never come back as this device completely removes the entire root. Highly recommend. Totally agree about it being therapeutic!
The argument against this is that food is needed to survive and provides jobs for the community. Lawns are nothing but a nice to have.

You must surely know that "solving FAANG problems" is greatly overselling the content.

It doesn't describe how to solve problems, nothing is FAANG-specific, the introductions at https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/NonProgrammers are more informative, and it's not going to help with any interview, much less a FAANG one.

This document assumes the reader will know what O() notation means, and know that `[start, end)` refers to mathematical interval notation instead of Python, and know what a lambda function is.

Someone with that experience would gain much more by diving in with https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/index.html .

"Expensive" city centers in the U.S. have comparable density to bog-standard suburban towns in the rest of the developed world. By all indications, we're nowhere near the "tipping point" where trying to increase density there would physically be so costly as to be unsustainable. That's something NYC can perhaps legitimately worry about, but I'm not sure how that could apply to other high-demand places in the U.S.
As someone working on mostly native iOS apps, Flutter apps, and React webpages, I’ve been looking for a solution to share common models and other utilities between clients.

Kotlin Multiplatform definitely looks like the most mature option, but I’m looking at Flutter/Dart as an option, too. Dart has support for method channels with Swift/Obj-C and Kotlin/Java plus there’s the official dart2js compiler.

I personally don’t think Flutter is the right choice for a best-in-class native mobile app and definitely not for a website, but I think there might be something worthwhile using Dart as the language of shared library like Kotlin Multiplatform.

While this is a good list of companies that operate roughly in the same space as Stripe, a more useful one for the intended audience would be finding replacements for the specific Stripe services/APIs they are using. It's not as simple as saying "just switch from Stripe to PayPal/Square". Most of these companies specialize in a specific problem with very little overlap with the rest. Stripe doesn't have a real 1:1 competitor.

Ha Ha 8-) Nice history lesson!

The author left out the most probable hypothesis of why it didn't happen though: ownership kept all that extra productivity and kept working labor just as hard for no more money.

The author left out that same option in the concluding statement: Some of them might have just been saying that productivity could be much higher, regardless of whether that turned into shorter working hours, higher wages, or a combination of both

... or neither, all of the money can be diverted to "shareholder value".

This is fact the way it's almost always been. Only in situations where labor has been highly organized has the outcome be any different, i.e. workers benefiting from productivity increases.

EDIT: apparently the dictionary supports "acing" to mean "doing very well" even if there are clearly higher measures of performance. Still, "acing" generally means "the highest rank" which would at least be the Distinguished Honor Roll (approx 125-130) if you don't want to go all the way to exact 100% score.

Original post:

> three 6th graders I work with ended up acing the AMC 10, which is a contest that American kids take in the 10th grade. One of them even made the AIME cutoff,

This is 100% impossible.
How could you "ace" a contest and not qualify for the lext level? No one did better than "acing" and there is no lottery.

Do you mean "100" on the AMC 10, not "acing" ? That's impressive and plausible, but "acing" is 150, which is achieved by only about 10 people in the world each year, and takes years of intense study, and all of them qualify for the AIME.

Also, AIME is currently top 2.5% of AMC 10, not top 1%.

When you say I/O in Haskell is sub-optimal, are you referring to performance, or the fact that it can be cumbersome? I personally love that Haskell's type system tells you whether a function has any side effects, which of course includes I/O.

This is a far cry from the idea that the government can simply take what they want because they want it.

The idea that politicians can (or should) just make a law dissolving property rights and take whatever water or land they want without compensation is misguided.

> If you’re wondering why ovens now have ‘air fryer’ mode that’s because marketing. I suspect it spins the fan a little faster.

From what I can tell (and the detail provided on this is sketchy) differences include some or all of (varying between models):

1. Different fan position vs. ovens without air fry mode,

2. Faster fan speed in air fry mode,

3. Using “true” or “European” convection (heating unit behind the fan) in air fry mode, rather than “American” convection (bottom heating unit plus forced circulation fan), which may or may not be used in “convection” mode in a convection oven with an air fry setting.

I haven’t looked, but I wouldn’t be surprised if more peak output from the heating element was part of air fry settings, especially the ones where that is specifically marketed as, or has an additional mode for, “no preheat” air frying.

All standard .NET collections with defined order and O(1) indexing support indexing backwards.

And no, it's not possible to do this using an extension method, unfortunately - there are no extension properties or indexers in C# (yet; it's something that keeps coming up). But then again, if and when they add extension indexers, this arrangement with a custom type is what'd allow you to write one that does backwards indexing on a collection type that doesn't support it out of the box.
I'll respond in more detail later but here is a paper that examines it: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2324930:

"Accordingly, as the results support, for those looking to maximize their level of sustainable retirement income, and/or to reduce the potential magnitude of any shortfalls in adverse scenarios, portfolios that start off in the vicinity of 20% to 40% in equities and rise to the level of 60% to 80% in equities generally perform better than static rebalanced portfolios or declining equity glidepaths. Though as the results also reveal, in particular scenarios where the equity risk premium is depressed, the optimal glidepath includes less equity, and in scenarios where the goal is to withdraw at a level that stresses the portfolio and its expected growth rate, higher overall levels of equity are necessary; with such high-risk goals, having a relatively high-risk portfolio, with the danger that entails, is still the optimal solution (and for clients who cannot tolerate that level of risk, the ideal solution is to choose not a less risky portfolio, but a less risky and aggressive goal). Nonetheless, for everyone else looking to maximize a sustainable income level, or determine the amount of assets to support a (reasonable) target income level, rising equity glidepaths appear to both maximize the likelihood of success and sustainable income and reduce the magnitude of shortfalls when they occur."

There is a a lot of discussion of this here: https://www.bogleheads.org/index.php. Also, this article: https://www.kitces.com/blog/should-equity-exposure-decrease-....
> All of these esoteric philosophies ultimately boil down to the worship of ones own will

I'll acknowledge that hermeticism, gnosticism, thelema, etc are not going to be everyone's bag, and that's just fine. However....

That's a rather large overgeneralization of some quite disparate philosophies. Also, you may be working with a mistaken idea of what "will" means in this context. A person's will is (very roughly) their optimal place and trajectory in the world; it is not just following some desire or doing what you want. It is not ego based. Wills harmonize and do not clash. The flip side, and perhaps more importantly, it is wrong to interfere with someone carrying out their own will.

An additional perspective: "Will" is one's personal, bedrock Truth of Self. You exert your Will on yourself, not on others.

Anyway, this isn't quite the negative that you seem to be implying.
My personal opinion, it is the worst, we spent more time working on getting it to build than coding, it’s a platform only a die hard cpp developer could love and only because they’ve never tried anything different.

Even the mobile app we do have in qt has substantial coding in native. It doesn’t have things like faceid for login, light/dark themes, is extremely restrictive in supported devices and orientations.

There’s next to no community, anyone who does mobile just doesn’t use it, and imho, for very good reason, mobile dev moved on and supporters of qt just seem to like making it harder for themselves to support it.

I’d say it works ok on desktop, but i generally find qt apps on my mac look dated and have odd unmac like qualities.

I built my house 4 years ago (with liberal use of subcontractors), and one of the things I knew I'd want is ethernet everywhere. So I ran the wire, bought a big patch panel, and now every room in my house has 2-4 ports for whatever I might want.

As a bonus, if I (or the next guy) wanted to have a landline phone, it's in the same closet and it can be patched to anywhere in the house by swapping a single wire.

Given the opportunity, even after the house is complete, it's a very useful thing to do.

I only skimmed the article and skipped to the 3Brown1Blue [0] video which I found very enlightening.

Basically, the tldr version is that product under the integral can be considered a sum, of sorts, in the Fourier domain (convolution <-> product and products turn into sums under some transformation of exponentiation) and when the coefficients of that sum cross a constant, then the original integral becomes less than pi.

That is, when $\sum_{i=0}^n \frac{1}{2 i + 1} >= 1$, that's the transition point. 15 in the denominator is where that sum is greater than one.

Awesome stuff.
