You'll be fine, unless you are compiling boost or something else like that

but you will need a decent sized swap file/partition.
Google can afford to spend many billions on any unprofitable cause they wish, instead of maximising profit.

I don't think they should. But if they did, I'd hope they'd focus on more worthy causes than paying US engineers $300k/year.
I think it's a fallacy to think everyone must act. The West, being major consumers in the world, has a lot more leverage in this area and also more funds to do so. One of the major contributors to third world emissions is that the west outsources a lot of their emissions to these countries.

One simple step forward is for the west to take a stance and pick "clean" manufacturers rather than "cheap" manufacturers. Tax corporations higher when they outsource or buy from lax countries. That will put a positive pressure on these countries to adopt clean energy instead of being continuously spurred to ignore emissions and keep costs down for exports.
As we get older, we (and our peers) tend to have busier lives. It's not a bad thing, but it does interfere with our ability to have get-togethers.

I received an airplane ticket in California back in early 90's.

It was the case then, I don't know now, that if there were multiple officers involved in the citation that they both had to show up in court, or the ticket was dismissed.

I had heard through a family member that the pilots never showed in court. So I did and it was quickly dismissed.
So, "like IAM but generalized to all cloud providers"?

My worry is that there will be statements that only make sense with one cloud provider -- like, you're running on Google Cloud, and you want to make some declaration that only makes sense in Google Cloud. But I guess Cedar wouldn't allow that?

It's like SQL libraries: the ones that are supposed to be database-agnostic usually have some escape hatch to say "I need to call this Postgres-specific function."
> BTW, monolith DB has its own form of eventual consistency. Process A puts data into DB, process B picks it up later and affects the DB. There's no reasonable way that everything in such a multi-use DB is always logically in agreement. You're just guaranteeing that B sees what A writes immediately, which comes at a cost

Transactions have existed for years, and DB execution engines have been able to concurrently handle non-dependent transactions since the mid 90's.

> It gives you a smaller blast radius when something goes wrong, avoids over-stressing a single DB, alleviates single points of human dependency like the DB curator, lets you scale separate pieces independently, and yes forces you to silo the data. There are several good reasons larger orgs have been doing things this way for a long time.

Vertical scaling of Db's is a non issue. If your DB is complex, get a DBA...

Have you actually done any of this in production before? It doesn't seem like it honestly.
Data Plumber.

Some planning, some building out new stuff (usually clean work), some repairing active geysers of partially processed data that's getting all over the place fouling up the works.
Big life lesson: Never use any of "real world programming languages" to get your life happier. Because those kinds of languages is the tool to get someone richer in the cost of miserable lives of others.

What do students get after graduation from a Java course ? Nothing, except for knowing how to import some libraries.
Its all about greed. they could also keep those people and settle for a lower profit. How much do they need?
Yep, very true. They'll probably be using English to prompt some model :)
My ram utilization is 30%-50% of 16G ram, this with multiple dockers running, some docker images are with GUI apps, this with 20+ Firefox tabs and at least one vscode instance, I can see where you will have to choose what apps to run at same time.
Brush cutter here -- not at all insulted by the question! I'm actually a trained journalist, but at one point I needed better work-life balance. Agreed to help out my (late) dad's classmate who is a forester. Brush cutting and tree planting seem to somehow fit my personality (excellent for loners who like physical effort in nasty weather, lol), so I stayed.

As for BSD, Perl, Tiny Core Linux, Plan 9, etc -- I suppose I have a long-time intellectual interest in various "fringe" IT topics, computers as a tool for thinking, and repurposing old computers and ultra-minimal OSes in a meaningful way. I'm a horrible coder, but I love programming languages, lol. (I would have probably made a decent linguist, syntax or spoken language researcher, but oh well.)

Obviously, HN is an excellent place for folks like me -- people who are (always?) slightly lost in life. Unable to make big bucks (this is fine!), but still intellectually curious. It really is a perfect online environment, and IMO a remarkably good embodiment of free speech and democracy. Thanks HN, and thanks dang, for the excellent moderation!
If 2X-10X programmers exist then swaths of middle managers should be fired for mismanaging capital.
Python and Ruby are great languages to start with but definitely not the end goal (for anyone who really wants to gain a deep understanding). They make the transition to understanding lower level languages e.g. C a lot smoother.

>>Every damn body knew that the last 2 years were not representative of the future.

In hindsight, yes. But by that definition every decision is a coin flip, because no matter how good we get at predicting things, you are always and always making decisions based on past data, and that can't accomodate random 'act of god' sort of events COVID and Ukraine war was.

>>Everybody knew that free-money, COVID and related phenomenons were a phase.

There was no way to know COVID was a phase, we still can't say with confidence that COVID is over.
The crimes that were written into law by democratically elected representatives?
Did Russia call the West’s bluff? Because it seems like they’ve found themselves in a war far worse than Vietnam with far worse prospects. If anything I would think that Russia did not expect the degree of support and coordination the US would be willing to provide.

Similarly Biden has said that US troops would defend Taiwan in the event of an invasion. I don’t think that’s a bluff. Do you?

Is Apple the last major tech company standing without layoffs?

Yes, at least for FANG/MAGA. I wonder if they will avoid them or just be the last one to cut.

Can you write well structured and reusuable code on retool? Can I write it in vscode, maybe even in typescript and deploy it up?

Most implementations of the "escape hatch" I've come across require scattering fragmented snippets across the project with no support for building out well structured and reusuable code.
Probably not, but you definitely should care about not issuing sequential credit card numbers. Probably not the best example, but I don't think it's hard to imagine some scenario in between the two that still presents a concern.
refurbished thinkpad ;)
I just turned 50. About 30 people showed up for the party my wife threw for me, and those were exactly the people I wanted to be there. I'm guessing my definition of "party" may be different from yours, but in the last two months, the community we've embedded ourselves in (via our church) has gotten together for my birthday, the darkest night of the year, and New Year's eve. These aren't raucous affairs, but rather 20-30 people getting together to eat good food, drink good wine, and enjoy each other's company.

In the darkest days of the pandemic, this same group got together outside nearly weekly, weather-be-damned.
Just to counter balance the anecdata, I’m in my mid 30s and have lots of parties in my life. It’s entirely due to my friend group.
So if my MFA-secured Google account is working fine right now, is the best course of action to remove MFA, then re-add it with this QR picture and/or jotting down the key trick?
Welcome to the beauty of logarithmic scales.
Why buy new with 8gb?
The goal is either to have a decent laptop for very little money: you can get used thinkpads for as little as 200USD with i7 ssd and 8 GB ram.
Or you have a bit more money, buy new and go for around 1000usd with 16gb.

I have an old x1c gen 4 and it is fine with linux for most of the tasks (incl some minor development tasks).

All depends on what you want to invest and for how long.
How do you securely register a second phone/computer? You should ideally be signed into the site on that second phone/computer to register it, which is what the QR code helps with. Once signed in, you can then securely register a key from the platform authenticator of the second computer.

After all the idea of passwordless authentication is to not even have any password as a fallback. If you do have a password based fallback, then obviously you can use it to sign in to register the new device, but since WebAuthn is far more secure than a password, the preference is to not have such a fallback. And of course, an account recovery flow based on emails or SMS and possibly "security questions" are almost worse than a password.

The QR code is far more convenient than needing to buy a fido2 security dongle, especially one that supports USB-A (for most desktops/laptops), USB-C (for android/iPad/other laptops), and lightning (for iPhone), so you can register it via any already registered device, and then use it on any other device for initial sign-in.
I’m think you’re saying the economy is zero sun, so if tech hadn’t hired these 100k people there would be an equivalent 100k “regular” jobs that would have been created to hire these poor people who can land a high paying tech job but are too dumb to manage their own lives and finances.

I’m not sure it works that way. With 100k fewer tech jobs, would there not have been fewer regular jobs as well?
Not an ethical issue, but a workstyle question.

If you go from Google or similarly large company to a small startup, there's a radically different reality and workstyle required. Any time I see someone with big company experience especially their immediately previous role, it's an orange flag. I know to dig into why a startup and whether they are willing to "repent" their previous ways.

BigCo employees are much more likely to call unnecessary whole team meetings, unnecessarily drag out feature planning, drag their feet on getting MVPs out in favor of a entirely complete solution, propose doing things "the way <x> does it" and it's like "... cool, we don't have the resources and headcount to support that really."

With that said, generally these people have a much deeper knowledge of their particular stack, are valuable to have as long as you can harness them correctly and direct their energies towards much later in the startup.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mummia

You're partially right. It didn't start being called "mummy" until it was associated with harvesting the substance from embalmed corpses IIUC

> Beginning around the 12th century when supplies of imported natural bitumen ran short, mummia was misinterpreted as "mummy", and the word's meaning expanded to "a black resinous exudate scraped out from embalmed Egyptian mummies".
If there needs to be an auth check for other IDs, then it shouldn't matter whether the IDs are random or not.

Depending on how highly aesthetic URLs are valued, it's not unlikely that after being in business for a while, the density of your keyspace will mean that even random IDs are found.

A better rationale for disconnecting public and private IDs is to make certain types of database migration a little bit easier. I don't think it's a huge win though, it's a chunk of work to maintain multiple IDs, do the required inderictions all the time, ensure public IDs are always sent to front end, and so on, while adding a translation layer as part of a database migration delays this kind of work until it's actually needed, if ever.
It's the kind of content I'm supposed to like in my gender/age/status cohort.

Yes. This is exactly how personalized advertising works.

Advertisers pay to target specific groups/cohorts in a statistical manner. Sorry that you don't like your cohort but this is a well known and unavoidable byproduct of their statistical approach.

It's like when a friend has cancer. You search for it on Google and the next thing you know, you're bombarded with ads for quack remedys.

The only effective solution --- avoid those who play this game.

Advertising doesn't have to work this way. There are alternatives --- such as basing it strictly on expressed interest. If you search for cancer, you should expect some ads related to cancer. What you shouldn't expect is these ads tracking you all over the internet.

Advertising works but there is not much independent evidence to show that personalized advertising is really any more cost effective.
> It didn't end well.

I mean, nucor figured it out eventually, right? :)

Looks like the amount of steel the US produces has stabilized around 8M tons/year: https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/steel-production
The PMI is not a manufacturing indicator. It’s a diffusion index on the value of stocks. What you are saying is that the stock market is contracting after seeing a rise at the beginning of the year (also zerohedge, come on, I thought we were having a serious discussion here).
I think the Myth of the Myth has two sources:

a) They have never worked with a 10x developer but have worked with terrible people that others described as 10x. If you actually work with a 10x developer, you know what they are. For me 10x is Patrick or Simon or Wendy. They are people I've met and worked with.

b) They can't believe that someone else is 10x better than they are, or their ego won't let them believe that. I believe I'm better than average, but I'm not 10x. I'm not Patrick or Simon or Wendy and that only bothers me at the same level as not being as good at karate as my Sensei.
Not them but I guess it's referencing the fact that education today is largely about having textbooks shoved in front of you until you're able to recite enough of it. University/college is the place where people go to place responsibility for their education on someone else. It's sold as a one-stop shop for a high paying career. Not much initiative needed besides turning up to class.
> Consequently, I'd bet that there's a lot of people doing shit like this

You're absolutely right, and our world problems are

1) not perpetuating poor life decisions (someone else made a mistake, we helped them but want to make sure they are safe/aware enough to avoid it the 2nd time)

2) coming up with parallel constructions of how we know so much damn crap about the universe without colleagues discovering we cheated by helping others and hearing their stories in detail. A personal favorite of mine is "I guessed and got lucky!" (deciding which vendor to go with and I know 2 of them are pure evil b/c of helping their customers)
Every time I've tried to dabble in C++ I've had the same horrible experience.

I end up "Randomly" stabbing at things until it works just well enough to get that particular thing done then dropping it all because it was such a painful experience.

Compared to something like cargo which works really well, C++ and it's build tools just feel flaky.

It may be that I'm just missing a mental model to get to grips with it, but no other major programming language is like that from my experience.
Every server I know makes over $20/hr in tips minimum. Double that on a busy weekend.

And they don't pay tax on it, so its really more like $25/hr minimum.
10x programmers exist because the average programmer has very little productivity. A high-performing marathon runner can complete a marathon in about 2.5 hours -- if the average person ran a marathon in 25 hours, then that would be a 10x marathon time. This is the situation we find ourselves in with software, the bar is very very low.
John Tuld : Let me tell you something, Mr. Sullivan. Do you care to know why I'm in this chair with you all? I mean, why I earn the big bucks.

Peter Sullivan : Yes.

John Tuld : I'm here for one reason and one reason alone. I'm here to guess what the music might do a week, a month, a year from now. That's it. Nothing more. And standing here tonight, I'm afraid that I don't hear - a - thing. Just... silence.
The argument is that the explanation is disingenuous. Which, I get that it's corporate speak, but when nobody buys it why bother with the lie?
I'm sorry, but when you lose control of and access to your data, but someone else has control and access, that is a security flaw. There is no meaningful difference between broken 2FA and ransomware.

When I do a sales demo meeting i get an automatic highlight reel to use as follow up (eg. A 90 second video summary of a 45min demo meeting)

Are you making the same mistake they did and thinking in 0/1 terms? The last 2 years have shifted the future, but the shifts are gradients with few if any being absolute 0/1.
Inserting Trump in an article generates outrage...outrage is good for publications. I've noticed a lot of publications doing this, as in inserting politics into articles where it doesn't matter. I don't know who to blame; Trump the attention-seeking clown or the media orgs that give him the constant attention, whether positive or negative.
Is minimum wage enough to live, though?
Chances are someone you link to (either following their channel or through some other metric) has engaged with that content, and so Youtube believes that you're more likely to engage with it as well, if you have overlapping interests. It may be a relationship several orders removed from you - but Youtube still counts it.

> If anything, because I was so puzzled by what was happening that I looked at who this Leather fellow was, Youtube’s trillion dollar “AI” tech stack will probably serve more and more of this stuff.

So... it worked. You seem to be confused about the goals of Youtube's algorithm - it isn't to show you the content you're most interested in, per se, it's to show you the content you're more likely to add value to by engagement. That can and often does correlate to your interests, but controversy works just as well, which is why these platforms often incentivize controversy over quality. Sometimes they'll throw random stuff into your feed just so see if you'll bite.

Consider deleting your view history if you haven't already. Go through your subscriptions and see who they're following. Absolutely do not click on more than one of someone's video if you don't want to get flooded with their content.
That was my first intuition, although when I thought about it a bit I realized that in my life the lack of parties was a trend I was observing for several years before the pandemic. I kind of attributed it to my department/institution (or in a few limited cases, even to myself) but this post has me wondering if there's sort of a broader trend.

It's probably impossible to know in the absence of some kind of hard data or compelling surveys, though.

I don't think it's an age thing per se, because if anything my older colleagues seemed to persist with parties, although there might be some kind of generational age thing, in that my younger colleagues didn't seem to pick that habit up.
Did they change that thing where they want you to log in in order to be able to see Twitter? That was the reason I used Nitter, but I haven't been getting that login popup lately.
Modern MacOS has zero support for Nvidia even in their $6000+ desktop with PCIe slots but nobody says shit like "it's not ready for prime time". I don't think it's fair to penalize Linux for Nvidia being shoddy at drivers and not playing ball.
The technology product for the the Mandalorian set is called “The Volume”.

Essentially, instead of filming in front of a green screen and digitally adding in the backgrounds post filming, they now have a huge seamless array of video screens behind the actors and a small set which has pre-rendered background scenery video playing and post filming changes to the background are generally not necessary.
depends on which part of the EU.

Uk (not EU but europe despite what it says) requires consultancy and a minimum compensation for being fired

france its a bit more complex, but it sometimes requires the consent of the person being fired, so it can be very expensive.
Laptop with broken screens for parts are very cheap on ebay.

I recently bought a lot of two broken laptops, all Intel 11th gen for $160. One used exclusively for web browing, zoom, and slack. Another used for coding and building. 16GB each for total of 32GB ram. Use barrier to share mouse/kb between the two.
Can you give more details on the laptop? You might be able to add additional memory later on.
The actor wouldn't. The producer who let live ammo anywhere near a set would.

He's being charged as the head of production, not as the actor who was unfortunate enough to pull the trigger. The fact that he's both is just a cruel twist of fate.
I'm sure you could "see" a TeV photon showering in your eye?
Yes to me xid has some pretty significant downsides. It is composed of a timestamp, a machine identifier, a process id, and then a sequence that starts from a random value. It can be a bit faster because it doesn't have to generate any random values to make a new ID, but I don't see how it would ever work client-side. I much prefer the simplicity of UUIDv6 and ULID, and they both perform nearly as well. UUIDv6 basically is ULID but without the standard base32 representation, which I think is unfortunate.
It's kind of funny that this is a thing too. Sometimes, I'll get the pop culture outrage grifters recommended to me since I like to dip into the current events regarding comic books. Otherwise, I get just random junk. Recommendations to view uploaded movie clips or whatever but nothing close to what I regularly watch. I always feel like the Youtube recommendation system is flakey. It doesn't even pick up the fact that I'm subscribed to a ton of small channels for cooking and rarely puts their content on the feed. It's wild I swear.
They are supposed to follow strict safety rules to prevent things like this happening, like guns being handed over only by the armorer (who wasn't even there in this instance).

I'm pretty sure that being the film's producer he is liable.
After reading the article I wanted to know what is gained by shaking a bullet in front of the actor (this was not done but someone is quoted as saying it's standard practice)?

I found this which shows comparisons of bullets and blanks. There is a mention in one of the posts of BBs being installed to give a rattle. It says blanks are not to be used at close range and not to be pointed at anyone. A cold gun is supposed to be an unloaded gun and not a gun with a blank?

https://www.quora.com/When-talking-about-bullets-or-rounds-w...

But what stands out is how blanks and shotshell look the same.

If the accident on the set used a bullet, that should have been visibly noticeable. The call was that it was a cold gun, but the article doesn't give an example of what was used. Anyone have info on that?
