There’s money in growing it, but usually where nothing else profitably grows, which is a lot of places.

Hugely mechanized though which makes it work when you have enough crop land. But yeah, $/hectare yield is going to be low.

The more "solutions" that are developed for desktop + mobile cross-platform applications, the more I see highlighted how different the paradigms are, and how the streams really shouldn't be crossed.

They're both UIs viewed on a screen that you interact with by pointing and clicking, but the similarities end there. The entire output of this cross-platform effort has been awkward applications that run everywhere but feel right nowhere. It's sad that even Apple has fallen victim to this idea that with their horrible Catalyst apps. Though I understand why the sales pitch of "one codebase" makes management of so many companies salivate.
as a kid, we'd break the tab from the pull ring and then insert the fat end of the tab into the slot on the pull ring. we'd pull the ring back on the pull tab and release the ring flying. if we were really bored, we might actually go find the ring and do it again. i was surprised at how far these could fly like this.

Well spying is a crime in most countries so saying that it is not a crime until it's detected is just wrong. My point was that crimes are still crimes even if they are not detected.
Yes, that is the right way to think about it. It should be used to enhnace current experiences, not create new ones. If you do not have an existing experience to enhance, and create new experience entirely based on API like GPT, your only differentiation is the prompt basically.

Is the stolen car's insurance liable here though? It's obviously hard to find a definite answer because it differs from market to market but this is one thing I've found:

> After an accident, typically the at-fault driver is responsible for the cost of any injuries and damages. However, when the driver of a stolen vehicle is to blame for what happened, neither the owner of the stolen vehicle nor his or her insurer will be liable. The owner of the vehicle may only be responsible for damages in an accident caused by someone who was permitted to borrow the vehicle.

> The thief will be responsible for the losses due to his or her negligent behavior. Yet his or her insurer may deny coverage since their policyholder was engaged in illegal activity at the time the damage was caused. This can make recovering compensation from the driver of the stolen vehicle very challenging. It may not be possible to locate the thief, but even if found and identified, he or she may not be covered under any insurance policy.

C++ quant jobs were already some of the highest-paying jobs in the technology market. A step above FAANG in many cases.

There's more to the story than just comp. Even increasing comp wouldn't immediately generate new developers, as it takes a very long time for the increased comp to incentivize new students and junior engineers to move in that direction in their career.

High performance C++ takes a lot of time and effort to learn, and even longer to master. Maybe the real issue is that there has been a surplus of high-paying jobs that are much easier and require a lot less effort to master.

I hate it. Once the number gets so small beyond comprehension it’s hard to believe the validity. It reminds me of the Feynman’s statements during the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.

> Feynman was disturbed by two aspects of this practice. First, NASA management assigned a probability of failure to each individual bolt, sometimes claiming a probability of 1 in 10^8, i.e. one in one hundred million. Feynman pointed out that it is impossible to calculate such a remote possibility with any scientific rigor.

> Just reconfigure your backup software to use this new virtual tape device and you're on your way

Isn't the whole point of tape that it is a physical thing, and may be taken offsite in a truck / stored in a vault, and all that jazz.

"Just reconfiguring" your backup software sounds like a business might just bypass all that without necessarily realising the consequences.

Then "we got hacked and our local backups are gone" -> "restore from offsite tape" -> "oh, actually there are no tapes, it's all the cloud now" -> ... ??
Does than mean that you should expect to lose 1 byte for every 100 GB that you store?

Likely because people who know anything about the region know that that supposedly damning call happened after three months of violent protests against the most corrupt government in recent European history.. the reference to Klitchko being made deputy PM means it was recorded after Jan 26th which was when Yanukovych was trying everything to stay in power, including bringing opposition leaders into his government (and working with Russian intelligence to bug US diplomatic phones). He was doing so because many regional offices had already been taken over by protesters and his police forces had already shot several people. The leader who the US diplomats were talking about was already a popular opposition leader, so it's entirely unsurprising that Yatsenyuk was part of government post-Maidan.

I think I'm mostly annoyed with these dumb conspiracy theories because they deny agency to the millions of people who actually cast out a criminal and democratically elected their own leadership. "hurr durr, the CIA did it"

That's probably why finance is having problems. I know plenty of great C++ devs out here in flyover country.

This is the weird thing - hopefully not! Hopefully there's even better NN models coming out every 5-10 years and we look back on transformers as 'just a phase' sort of like how we look back at RNN's (which were no less of an amazing achievement - look at the proliferation of voice assistants), as potentially obsolete technology today.

Fore example, attention is great and does a really good job of simulating context in language, but what if we come up with a clever way to simulate symbology? Then we actually are back on the path to AGI and transformers will look like child's play.

For bitterness, add a pinch of salt

https://www.thoughtco.com/does-salt-in-coffee-reduce-bittern...

"The reason given is that adding the salt improves the flavor of the coffee. As it turns out, there is a chemical basis for this practice. The Na + ion diminishes bitterness by interfering with the transduction mechanism of that taste. The effect occurs below the level at which the salty taste would be registered."

It's sad that Google finds it more important to take profits from ads linking to malware downloads than to protect users from harms. I guess the only way that's going to happen is if governments step up and make Google liable for harm caused by ads.

I've seen it happen myself with my father. He gets served malware and phishing ads at the top of searches on his iPad for completely innocuous searches like "Apple Canada support", while I get completely different results in the same house from my own devices. There's no way to report these incidents either.

This is absolutely nonsensical. In 20 years no one will remember about NodeJS (or it will not be the mainstream tool for web dev), but the C++ CAD application will definitely still be here, in both use and active development, and it will very likely still be in C++.

Just think about it. The last C++ CAD application I worked in was started in 1987. In 2023 it was still C++, and not only still sellable, but also incredibly profitable. They are practically a monopoly in their target market. A market which is highly likely to continue to exist for the next century or so.

How did NodeJS look like in 1987 ? A single skillset that can carry for 30years+ in computing is _nothing_ to scoff at.

I saw that too but it doesn't say anything about whether the insurer is still liable.

> The majority common law rule among the 50 states is that the owner of a stolen vehicle will not be held liable for damages when the vehicle is stolen and then involved in an accident that causes injury or property damage.
The company they based the story on appears to be a cryptocurrency firm, too. That'll exclude a lot of otherwise qualified candidates due to ethical or business model concerns — especially since C++ developers tend to be older, they're more likely to understand the risks of jumping into a bubble and have higher expectations for things like work/life balance.

Why would sex outside of marriage be considered sex work? For something to be work you need to receive some sort of material compensation. Usually it's just money. But I guess if someone gives you a car or some jewelry in exchange of sex it could classify too. I don't see how having sex with someone in a party where both people wanted it could conceivably be considered sex work
If LeBron James dies and someone somehow has the rights to his likeness, they are not an agent however. They are the rights holder. Perhaps they coincidentally also have an agent doing the work, but it is not LeBron James’s agent. :)
This speaks to the point in the article "The real problem is that C++ is neither easy nor loved," which they offset with "The language may be hard. But it's also worth it."

The problem is that there's a law of diminishing returns to compensation. If you can work with a tool you like that helps you meet milestones and general expectations for $X00k generally leading to pleasant days, or can work with a tool that makes your life harder and leads to higher stress fewer pleasant days for $2X00k... sure there's going to be people who take the extra money. But there's also going to be people who say to themselves "yeah, it turns out I'm plenty well compensated at $X00k I'll take the extra quality of life."

"Worth it" is a value judgment. How many people managing the financial firms decided it was worth it to invest in C++?

I means the world isn't binary, obviously there's risk in everything.

There's not much incentive to jack prices up 10x, it's their revenue, by doing so they will probably lose some. There's incentive though to not offer something for free, as this is literally losing you cash. You never know all the facts though, Google Maps did increase the API cost quite a bit, so it can always happen, but when it's free, you do know some of the facts... and it's not in your favor.

So yes, still some risk, but not at all the same amount of risk.
Hey HN! I've been a fan of Snowflake since I started using it in my first job out of school. But, powerful as it is, it still comes with its fair share of challenges/gotchas. I've been digging into Snowflake metadata and access controls over the last several months as part of my work on Jetty Core[1], and thought about writing some sort of white paper about best practices to share some of the things I've learned. It turns out there are a lot of those already, so instead I decided to build a living white paper instead.

Jetty Scorecard is an open-source python library/app that connects to a Snowflake account and provides insights and recommendations specific to your configuration. Today it runs 17 checks[2], providing info about things like which tables are the most popular, whether you have misconfigured masking policies, and whether your future grants are being ignored by the system[3].
