I've been working on a tool called Knit (https://github.com/zyedidia/knit) that I think is similar to what you are looking for. Essentially, a Knitfile is a Lua program with Make's declarative rule syntax baked in. Or in other words, it is like Make (with some additional changes inspired by Plan9 mk), but where Make's custom scripting language is replaced with Lua (but it still keeps the declarative rules language). It's still in progress (I'm currently using it in some projects, and then will likely make some more changes based on my experiences), but I hope to release a stable version in the next few months. If you or others also have feedback, please let me know!
meh both are true. The thing is, pizza and bagels and halal course through NYC veins like croissants and baguette in Paris. So there's gonna be discount-pizza and convenience-pizza, but also expensive and artisanal pizza. Often in the same block!

Uniquely to NYC:

- millions of NYers rarely or never cook
- melting pot of cultures, driving authenticity and the second generation driving fusion
- NYC has a wide range of incomes, driving everything from amazing illegal corner tamales to $1000/pp "experiences" and everything in between
- NYC is a destination and people work to live - elsewhere you save-up to move to NYC. You don't "save-up" in NYC to go something else, you just move and stop blowing your money on rent, food, etc.
- the food-heavy neighborhoods have an unbelievable number of restaurants. You can cite statistics and even walk the streets, but it's not until you see Google Maps that it really hits you. Let's say you live in LES/EV, you can easily have 500 restaurants in walking distance, with turnover so fast that you can't even eat in all of them, let alone other neighborhoods.

Instead of sed -i, one can use ired.

od -tx1 -An|sed 's/^/w /'|ired -n $1 /dev/stdin

Unless I am mistaken, ired does not use a temp file, unlike sed -i.
I would think it is. It runs on the Objective-C runtime and has interop with it and C.
I haven't looked at the implementation at all, but it is possible that the pool is keeping goroutines alive, and the `Go()` method writes to a single `chan func()` that those goroutines read off of.

Which still isn't exactly equivalent, there's still an additional channel read due to the `for elem := range stream {}` loop, and likely an allocation due to the closure.
They have backup transmitters and if everything fails (tower evacuation has happened) you talk to the overlying approach / tracon / center frequencies to check. And then after that, land anyway and self announce positions for other traffic.

It's basically the same as landing at an airport that doesn't have a tower. Happens every day at hundreds of airports.
Seems pretty obvious: maximum surface area with minimum backpressure, the design becomes like "lungs" or "placenta" branching from "artery" down in steps to "blood vessels". It looks like some early jet turbine combustors.

"Kidneys" and reverse osmosis cartridges OTOH appear to function for optimizing for different constraints involving liquids and pressure.

You can probably draw a sharp line in two ways:

1. You're interpreting if syntactic tokens directly drive evaluation. So only first two are interpreted.

2. Interpreters take syntactic input and evaluate to a result that comes from running the program, a compiler takes syntactic input and outputs a program that must then itself be run to compute the result.

That said, I agree that "interpreted language" or "compiled language" is not a formally correct term, it's a connotative definition implying what's typical or the purposes for which a language may be suited.
Not white people, but non-Spanish speaker. You know, Spanish speakers are of any race. But someone who puts "latinx", obviously, is not even 2nd language speaker.
I imagined it in a dystopian way with zillions of cameras everywhere (how else would we know who ate that sandwich that you took with you when you went hiking with friends for a week?), but yours is better.

Imagine John Cleese working in an office, tallying how much toilet paper every employee uses at work, so that they (the consumers) can be taxed for it, and not their employer (who merely bought it)
Make is a great parable of our industry.

* It's dead simple. It encodes dependency graphs and does stat() calls to check and compare timestamps. From that, you can have desirable features: minimal rebuilds of changed files, parallel build, etc ... Sure it's not perfect at this, timestamps can skew or whatever, dependencies can be improperly specified. But it does enormous heavy lifting with a very "dumb" implementation.

* It's extremely influential. Even if you're not using makefiles, chances are some build tool is stat()ing files based on some representation of dependencies. In some form or another they probably got that expectation from make.

* The original version was written by one guy over a weekend. Shows that our industry can have enormous, industry defining contributions from a small team.
Can I get a resume review?
Hi!

The startup I was working for went under last week. I've been out of the job market for going on 7 years now and I'm struggling to get feedback on my resume.

I'm ideally looking for Software Engineering Manager or Team Lead roles. Currently I am based in the EU but could consider a move to the US, so I would appreciate feedback from US based hiring managers.

Thank you in advance!
Wow ok, I've never seen that in the wild. RCDs are required on all circuits including lighting in the current regs (i.e. old installations can not have them and be compliant, but they have been required and socket circuits for a long time; bathroom & outdoor lighting for less; all lighting more recently). Maybe these sockets are for when you have no more room in the panel and don't want to replace it, but need it upgraded due to other work or to pass an EICR to let the property? Not sure.

Example US looking one I was seeing: https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/e9c29ec0-5eeb-40c3-8cde-e2f...

I suppose Earthed sockets are less common there anyway right, so that limits how common these could possibly be.

Right place and time (era of cheap money) explains the majority of our so-called genius tech CEOs.

A handful of ideas from info theory coupled with government desire to hype nation state brand does not a genius make.

None of these people have established net new ideas. Just borrowing from Gödel, Shannon, Turing, and the like.

Dave clark brought this from Amazon. At Amazon they call it "STLs" or single threaded leadership. Basically you assign one director/vp/etc. to the business, and they are responsible for PnL/success.

It isn't that you do one thing at a time as an entire company, but your org is focused on one thing. For example, maybe there is a director who runs an org in charge of international freight forwarding.

I'm not really sure how things are organized at other large companies as Amazon was my only experience into mega corp work.
That's just one step down from "Doesn't yet have a satisfactory explanation -> Must be supernatural.'
The government is doing it. But the government is not making decisions. It's just giving everyone their share.

Please see the Alaska example. Alaska isn't authoritarian.

Skeptoid did an article on this story. It appeared with a bunch of other stories in that newspaper that were pretty clearly jokes.

I love tracing as much as anybody, but that's most useful tracking between processes - when you can have boundaries within a single process too.

Having both - the diagram of what you expect and the diagram of reality - are useful.
I agree. It would be like an “easy bake oven” that guarantees either a perfectly baked cake, with no user input required, or your entire house burnt to the ground in a fiery explosion. I’d rather just watch it myself

This is why I think the only direction in which this can all be headed is “human roads” and “robot roads”. When the robot cars all start talking to each other/the road 100,000x/second, there won’t be a need for traffic lights, and so anytime an accident happens, it will be because of a human.
>but advanced alien civilizations capable of interstellar travel would probably look at us like we look at mold

Why? An advanced civilization wouldn't have cultural curiosity? They wouldn't want to study us from all the different perspectives we study people and literature and philosophy and even biology and neurology etc etc?

These formats look like an attempt to get a halfway solution: you want to get something like a real MPP analytic DBMS (e.g., ClickHouse) but have to use a data lake for some reason.

It resembles previous trendy technologies that are mostly forgotten now, such as:

- Lambda architecture (based on a wrong assumption that you cannot have a real-time and historical layers in the same system);

- Multidimensional OLAP (based on a wrong assumption that you cannot do analytic queries directly on non-aggregated data);

- Big data (based on a wrong assumption that map-reduce is better than relational DBMS).

I'm exaggerating a little.

Disclaimer: I work on ClickHouse, and I'm a follower of every technology in the data processing area.
911 calls are pretty clearly a special case that is obviously worth pointing out if someone is advocating for literally dismantling the entire telephone system without a very good proposal for replacing the 911 system. That would be a much more extreme position than simply disliking routine (especially unsolicited) telephone calls and preferring than most people in society default to another form of communication.
It's a one-way street. You can love cheap poorly brewed coffee but once you have tried better the cheap stuff becomes undrinkable. Like going from a touch tone back to a rotary dial phone. Impossible.

Until my early mid 20s I never like coffee at all. Then I tried double cream and sugar coffee, then milky cappuccinos, then massive syrupy sweet Starbucks.

After years of "acclimatizing" I thought I'd branch out. I bought a grinder, fresh coffee beans, a scale, French Press, 16:1 ratio. I went black and never went back.

Coffee made well from fresh beans freshly ground has a sweetness a caramel like after-taste. Very little bitterness (comes from brewing too long) and can surprise even those who pile on milk and sugar or even salt to mask its bitterness.

Our company shuts down for a few days between christmas and the new year. The justification is that we have a retail style income so we don't really do anything useful those days anyway.

The actual reason is that if you are hourly you have to use up vacation time for those days or not get paid. It's literally pinching pennies.

If we were an advanced alien civilization capable of interstellar travel, how would we look at a planet/species like 2023 Earth?
Are you arguing that advances in science that would look like impossible magic to us today are confined to fiction forever? Why do you believe that (1) and (2) are true at every stage of technological advancement in our distant future, which may be the technological present of our galactic peers?

A handful of people today can casually "flick" entire cities out of existence, and enough such flicks could eradicate our species, and even if not it would certainly eradicate many. That would have been an absurd notion to somebody a thousand years ago. But the idea that we'll be able to destroy stars just as easily in a million years is somehow just fiction?
I’m always torn on this topic.

On the one hand, diagrams are easy to update, track changes, and show in different contexts.

On the other, a lot of automated diagrams are unclear because they miss important aspects of layout.

I believe you should start manual, and switch to code-based when it becomes painful to keep updating it.

That said, I don’t know why I’d do it in a bespoke system, as this article shows. That seems like the worst of both worlds.
You seem to have read my comment backwards. I'm not advocating for them taking over, or claiming that the DR speaks French, or interested in taking over all of Dominica.

Interesting that you assume physics and engineering are "done" and that there are no unknowns, and that there are no new inventions that will happen moving forward. I don't know any physicists or engineers who believe any such thing.

500 years ago your argument would have been: We cant even get to china in 12 weeks without considerable danger and expense, and you expect me to believe its routine for peasants to do so in 12 hours? That anyone can make a near perfect painting and send it to anyone else no matter where they are in a heartbeat - we don't even make bad paintings of anyone who isn't extremely rich because of the absurd expense of it.

Point is that even without encryption they had a ticking time bomb on their hands. They would have shown up with the exact same problem, just later.

Instead of discouraging encryption, use it as a way to encourage backups in the future.

You keep shifting the goalposts -- your original post specifically mentioned the US.

The issue here is that you think the problem is "this guy has a gun" rather than "this guy wants to kill a bunch of people". It's like trying to combat alcoholism by banning shot glasses.

I won't visit either site on principle.

The idea of newsletters is stupid. I need to open them in email, which is not where I read news. We solved this problem ages ago, it's called RSS. Provide good full-content RSS feeds.

If you must persist with newsletters, don't put a full screen flyover nagging me to sign up for the author's newsletter as soon as I've visited the page. How am I supposed to know if I want the newsletter when I haven't had a chance to evaluate the content? At most, put a static non-JS signup box at the end of the post.

The idea of paid blogging is ridiculous. Web hosting is free these days. Nobody is writing blog posts for 40 hours a week and making a full-time income from it. There is no cost to blogging, so there should be no charge. Paid blogging is a non-business model.

There is also an attempt to "legitimise" bloggers with these sites. "I'm a professional blogger, follow me on Medium". No, you're just another person in tech like me. Your blog is no more or less important than mine. At best you're writing things you hope are useful. At worst, you've devolved into a "content creator" making "content" for the sake of it (or for subscriber begging) like so many vapid YouTubers.

These sites seem to imply their content is somehow "premium" or better than the rest of the internet. It isn't. There are many (free) blogs which are way better than every Medium or Substack. I see many poor quality posts on these sites which reduce the overall value of the site. The quality control necessary to make the site curated would negate the appeal of the platform.

I feel if someone has something worth saying, they'll probably spend the minimal effort setting up their own blog to say it, and build a legitimate subscriber base from quality, not from some paid or implied quality by having their blog on a certain domain.
Yeah I was gonna say, this story sounded familiar. Props to Brian Dunning on this one for apparently being one of the few to actually look at the context of the publishing of this story. It appeared with a bunch of other stories in that newspaper that were pretty clearly jokes.

>In one, an "aerial monster" landed in a field, piloted by men from New York. In another, the crew consisted of lost Jews from the ten tribes of Israel who told a judge they'd come from the North Pole.
Not necessarily a probe, maybe just a piece of cosmic junk? An equivalent of our rocket booster or a Tesla Roadster on its way to Mars.
It really is amusing to see how much HN thinks that times are tough right now and the talk of the current economic conditions as a recession. It seems like the majority of HN weren't graduated from college in 2008 yet or else they've somehow managed to forget what that was like or just weren't paying enough attention. And the ones that just found it hard to get a job out of college probably weren't watching the stock market closely and don't seem to remember how bad things got after the Bush administration let Lehman collapse and when we nearly "broke the buck" and Congress had to act to prevent a total financial collapse. We have 3.5% unemployment right now, not 6% and rising 0.4% every month.

At the same time nobody seems to be paying attention to how rapidly the Fed raised rates this time compared to the build-up to 2006-2008, and while everyone talks about low rates for over a decade caused malinvestment nobody seems to be doing the very obvious math of what is going to happen when higher rates destroy it all.
This rings hyperbolic to me.

"never be nearly as useful": curious for more thoughts on this, it's hard for me to envision what's impossible with it, that is also a significant multiplier on productivity
> That sounds like property taxes, which already exist.

Yes, the part about acquiring funds is the same as what we already do.

UBI is an additional way for funds to be distributed.

> On the flip side, I wonder how much can be taxed? Is there a maximum? Currently, I work for the government through June.

That depends so much on the details of the system.

People on the lower end will gain more UBI than taxes increase. People on the upper end will get less UBI than taxes increase. The tipping point could be anywhere in a large range.

One version of UBI is simply a system where your income tax starts at a negative amount of dollars.

"A single-threaded leader is a leader who is 100% dedicated and accountable to a specific product, such as your mobile application, customer account, or the search capability in your e-commerce store.

100$/month for a site that runs random people's code seems great ! Do you mind sharing some details ? What does your architecture look like ? How many "vals" do you have, and how many executions per day ?
Right but we didn't have to do any of this measuring for Jewish, Chinese, Italian, or Irish people. Yet discrimination against these groups has markedly improved over time. This happens naturally as people mix together and realize they're not so different, and as older generations die. This integration process naturally deemphasizes superficial differences.

You seem to be avoiding the question. This process clearly works, and doesn't require any metrics collection or monitoring. Furthermore, DEI initiatives are clearly harmful to organizational goals[1] and clearly disenfranchise people who are just interested in colour-blindly carrying on with their work. Why do we need them?

PS. I'm hoping to preempt a no true Scotsman style reply about DEI. The example below was undertaken at a major corporation with the world-class consultants.

These terms have several meanings and are fuzzy.

Most commonly people in Europe still divide the continent between Western and Eastern Europe and Eastern Europe roughly means former communist countries.

So most people in 'Western Europe' will include Poles among Eastern Europeans (which may be pejorative depending on context).

I think that sometimes those pushing for the term 'central Europe' do so because they don't like being lumped into the same 'category' as their neighbours further East...

There are also other issues - for example, MUTCD doesn't allow for multiple languages on street signs.
